absurd deduction game.

Chapter 157 You promised me, drink it
Yu Xing sat in the grass. He originally squatted, but after a while he found that squatting was too tiring.

He was very patient, and he had a panoramic view of everything in front of Lao Zhang's house through the leaves.

Lao Zhang was out hunting, and Lao Zhang's wife was also going to do farm work in the fields not far away. After greeting Mai Mai and telling her to stay at home, the wife went out.

It was about twelve o'clock in the noon—the time flow in this world was weird, and Yu Xing could only judge the approximate time by the position of the sun——Mai Mai walked out of the house and poked his head out to look out.

Usually at this moment, the mother who went out to do farm work should have come home to cook her lunch, but today I don't know what happened, and my mother hasn't come back yet.

Mai Mai's mood was still affected by the dispute in the morning, and she pouted, planning to go back to the room and wait.

Suddenly, a similarly small figure came running not far away, it was a fat man of twelve or thirteen years old, the fat man smiled and greeted her: "Mai Mai!"

Maimai looked over strangely and recognized that this is Li Bao, the son of Li Fugui's family.

Although there are few people in this village and there are only a few children, she doesn't like to play with this person, so there is no intersection.

What did Li Bao ask her to do?
"What are you doing?" She looked at Li Bao who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Mai Mai stepped back, already behind the door of the house, as long as the door is closed, Li Bao will not be able to touch her.

Li Bao obviously knew it too, so he slowed down his pace and stammered: "Mai Mai, I'm here to apologize. My father went home and talked about what happened in the morning, and was scolded by my mother. My mother said, You have to be polite when you take things from other people's houses, my father has no conscience."

Mai Mai backed up and paused, looking at Li Bao again.

She thought about it and felt aggrieved. If Li Bao's mother spoke for her, it seemed that it was not unforgivable. After all, the little girl was still innocent: "Really?"

"Really! My mother also said that she asked me to apologize for my father in case my father would scare you. Whether you forgive my father or not, I will give this to you." Li Bao said, stretching out With both hands, Maimai couldn't help looking into his hands, which held an origami butterfly.

small butterfly!
Mai Mai's eyes lit up, and hesitantly took a few steps outside: "I, I don't want to blame your father, but your father wants to apologize to my parents!... When my parents come back!"

"Yeah, I'll go back and tell my dad!" Seeing that Mai Mai didn't seem to be angry anymore, Li Bao waved the paper butterfly towards Mai Mai, "For you."

Mai Mai hesitated again. Li Bao was two years older than her, taller, and covered in flesh, which looked a little oppressive.

However, the other party is just a child, so it shouldn't be a bad person.

"Okay." She pursed her lips and said reservedly, then walked towards Li Bao and took the little paper butterfly.

However, the next moment, Li Bao grabbed her wrist violently.

The paper butterfly fell to the ground and was stepped on by Li Bao who stepped forward.

Mai Mai panicked and shouted, "What are you doing!"

She felt that something was wrong, and tried her best to break free, but Li Bao also used all his strength to hold her tightly, making it impossible for her to leave.

Li Bao turned around and shouted: "Father! Mother! I caught it!"

Several adults ran out from the hidden places around, Li Fugui smiled ferociously, and pulled Mai Mai from Li Bao's hand: "You are quite vigilant, I was finally tricked out, are you afraid? Ok?"

Except for Li Fugui, several people who made trouble in the morning were there, as well as Li Fugui's daughter-in-law, all staring at Maimai with good intentions.

Maimai had never seen this kind of battle before, and she cried in fright, crying for her parents, and during the struggle, she bowed her head and bit hard, bleeding Li Fugui's hand from the bite.

"Little wild species!" Seeing his father being bitten, Li Bao slapped Mai Mai on the face without saying a word about how his father was beating someone.

Li Fugui's daughter-in-law looked at this scene, not only was not shocked by his son's actions, but instead patted Li Bao's head: "Good son, I know how to help your father."

Except for Li Bao, everyone else was also scolding, all kinds of words that shouldn't be said to the little girl one after another, it was unbearable.

Mai Mai cried even harder. She really wanted her father back, and she really wanted Brother Yu to come back. These people never dared to bully her when Brother Yu was around.

Yu Xing held the blade of grass with one hand, watched the scene expressionlessly, and moved his fingers subconsciously.

He heard Mai Mai's cry for help, and felt Mai Mai's blind trust in him.

But he chose to stay where he was, telling himself:

This is just a replay of the past... Even if he saves people now, it will not change what has happened. What he needs more now is to follow these villagers to see the truth of what happened.

There are reasons and evidence, but Yu Xing's palm has been embedded in the flesh by his own nails, leaving drops of fresh blood.

Li Fugui and his party made a big commotion at the gate of Lao Zhang's house, which could be heard by every household in the small village.

They went out one by one, pointing and commenting on the rising and extinguishing hopes of Mai Mai.

"Li Fugui is going to send her to the next village?"

"Old Zhang didn't go all out with Li Fugui after he found out."

"Old Zhang? It's too late for him to come back. Besides, Mai Mai was kidnapped by so many people. Old Zhang wants to do his best. How can he settle accounts one by one?"

"Why didn't Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law come back?"

"My mother-in-law is in charge of holding Lao Zhang's wife in the field. She will definitely not come back."

"I heard that the village next door has the habit of cannibalism."

"But the material conditions are good. Li Fugui went to the next village to negotiate many times. I heard that as long as the sorceress is satisfied with the person who sent it, she will distribute meat to our village every month from now on."

"Actually, Lao Zhang gave my family a lot of meat. I can't see that kid like Mai Mai..."

"If you don't want to see it, don't look at it. I gave it to your family? Huh, he didn't give it to my family! Our whole village can eat meat. Isn't it better than his old Zhang's family being the only one, and everyone wants to see how good his face is?"

This is really heartbreaking.

Lao Zhang is simple and kind, and he will only show embarrassment when others make trouble for no reason. This kind of character is too easy to be regarded as a bully, and everything he pays becomes a matter of course.

Yu Xing heard roughly that all of these villagers knew about today's events, and many of them even directly participated in it!
Therefore, the kindest and most capable Lao Zhang's family, after their kindness, was concealed by everyone in the village and took away their children.

Mai Mai's voice became hoarse from crying, and he was forced to go outside the village by Li Fugui and his party.

Almost only a minute or two later, Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law hurried back and saw the wide open door and the villagers who hadn't had time to go back to the house.

She rushed into the house and searched, but found nothing, and walked around the village for a while, shouting hysterically at others: "Where is my daughter!"

No one answered her, everyone's attitude of avoiding talking made Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law realize something, left a series of broken wailing, and rushed into the woods leading to the village of the sorceress.

Yu Xing's eyes gradually turned cold.

Betrayal and greed, he already knew what it was.

Obviously, even though Li Fugui sent Mai Mai, the sorceress didn't mean to "divide the meat" to them, but with a sneer, when talking about this small village with Yu Xing, it seemed to be a joke.

He got up slowly, got used to the anemia-like dizziness that he had never experienced in his memory, ignored the pain in his palm, and started to chase after Li Fugui and the others.

He was not afraid of being lost, because the rabble was definitely not as fast as him.

"Human nature, how ugly can it be?" When Yu Xing left, there was only a cold mockery and a few drops of uncoagulated red blood left behind.

What happened afterwards was not as expected by Yu Xing. He caught up with Li Fugui and the others in the forest, even a little faster than Lao Zhang's wife, and continued to follow stealthily in the forest.

Therefore, he also watched the tragedy that happened when Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law angrily found them.

When Mai Mai saw her mother, she frantically called for help, and Zhang's daughter-in-law was also crazy. She had probably never been as angry as she is today, because the fellow villagers who have lived together for so many years actually wanted to send her child to death.

Naturally, she lost her mind and just wanted to get her child back, so she fought with this group of people.

She is just a woman, although she is still a woman because she usually does farm work with more strength.

As for Li Fugui and the others, the matter has already been done, so it must be a success, otherwise, when Lao Zhang comes back from hunting, coupled with that outsider who has always had a bad temper, maybe they will really kill them.

They felt that they had no way out, so a few men... beat Lao Zhang's wife to death.

Maimai's shout changed from "Mother save me" to "Mother, run", but it was too late.

She watched with her own eyes that her mother, who usually doted on her, was beaten to the ground by a group of people, and then looked at her with her eyes open, for 1 minute... 2 minutes... keeping her eyes open forever.

Yu Xing blinked, feeling the violence in his heart surging wildly, and his chest was very uncomfortable, it was a feeling of sourness and anger intertwined.

"I must have never let these bastards survive before."

Mai Mai's desperate expression appeared in his mind over and over again, and his memory barrier was loosened again.

……

Old Zhang's face flashed before his eyes. In this new memory, he seemed to be running from a distance to Lao Zhang's house, and he just came close.I saw Lao Zhang with a ferocious face holding up an ax to slash at Li Fugui, but was hit by another man from behind with a stick.

Lao Zhang fell down with his eyes open, and the sticks came from all directions. Many men in the village hit him hard with expressions of fear and pleasure, and soon he couldn't get up again.

In Yu Xing's memory, he stopped and stood there, wondering what he was thinking, as if he was digesting the fact that Lao Zhang, who had taken him in for half a year, died like this.

After a few seconds—

Blood rained from the sky.

The viscous liquid, with a fishy sweetness, was poured into the soil, dyeing the small village red.

Everyone immersed in the joy of success turned into panic at that moment, looked up to the sky, and after a while looked at Yu Xing who was walking forward step by step.

He stepped forward to pick up Lao Zhang's usual axe, and chopped the men with sticks in half.

The sky was filled with blackness, and the cold breath of death permeated with the power to devour everything. Yu Xing dragged his body in his heyday, and shuttled through every room, making these people suffer the moment before they died. Tormented with terror, and then died on the blade of an axe.

This small village turned into a small hell on earth in less than 30 seconds. At that time, Yu Xing looked at this scene and slowly showed a sick smile.

It's just right, isn't it, these people are only worthy of howling in hell.

……

Yu Xing fell into a trance, and it took him a long time to escape from his memory.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of the negative emotions filling his chest.

"In the past, when I was hunting, I didn't realize that Maimai and Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law were killed, and after hunting, I failed to save the outnumbered Lao Zhang...Even if I let the whole village be buried with them, what's the use, what a waste. Cursing himself, he raised his eyes.

"Ok?"

The scenery in front of me was not the same as before. There was no corpse of Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law on the ground, and there were no footprints of others. On the contrary, this was the scenery that Yu Xing was very familiar with, from the village where the sorceress lived to the mountains and forests between the lake.

During the time he was in a trance, his position changed silently.

"Wait, did I jump the timeline again?" Before, he would only jump after sleeping at least once, but now, he came here after standing in a daze for a while.

Is it because he remembered part of the incident, so he didn't need to go through it again, so he continued to jump... Thinking about it, Yu Xing lowered his head and looked at himself.

The bandages on his body disappeared completely at some point, and the skin under the clothes was as smooth as ever, as if that terrible injury had never existed.

"I'm back, Shi Wei, wait a minute!" The sorceress' voice sounded from behind him, Yu Xing looked back, and saw the sorceress who had changed into another dress and was walking towards him holding a bowl.

In fact, Yu Xing has figured out how these timelines appear.

The two villages, the small village where old Zhang’s family lives, the timeline is disrupted, and it is completely based on the history that happened. Even if he makes a different choice, the next time he goes to another timeline, nothing will change. .

For example, in reality, he did not lose his memory after escaping from the experimental base. In the fake, he did not tell Lao Zhang’s family his name because of memory loss. However, after jumping to the small village again at a different time, Lao Zhang’s family still knew his real name. , This should be what he told Lao Zhang's family in reality.

As for the big village where the sorceress lives, the timeline is forward, and all plots are changed by the choices he makes now.

In reality, Yu Xing has been living in a small village. Knowing that Lao Zhang was dead, he slaughtered the village, so he went to the big village to find Mai Mai.

But now, he entered the big village without knowing anything, and was persuaded by the sorceress to stay. Every time change is based on the latter.

For example, the sorceress holding the bowl at the moment.

"Shi Wei, you promised me, drink this bowl of blood, and become a believer of the priest, and be with me forever." She put the bowl in Yu Xing's hand, Yu Xing looked at it, only saw the whole bowl was opaque thick blood, and the reflection of his face in the blood, which was obviously in a bad mood.
