I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?
Chapter 809: Liars, panicked people!
Jones asked a very smart question.
He did not directly ask the man in the sweater whether he had been to Cursed Lake. If he asked that, wouldn't his purpose be too obvious? He didn't seem like someone who was just passing by to drink water.
Once these natives become wary, it will only accelerate the death of the Chosen One.
Asking whatever you see at home is how a "passerby" behaves.
Even though it might be presumptuous, the owner of the house wouldn't think much about it.
Hearing this, the sweater man sighed and replied, "Yes, a disaster struck some time ago when I came back from outside."
There was a hint of sadness in the sweater man's words, as if he regretted not returning home in time.
According to him, if he had returned home in time, this tragedy would not have happened.
Jones analyzed from another perspective and concluded that this guy was very strong and might be even stronger than he appeared.
In order to play his role well, Jones began to express his apologies and then comforted the sweater man.
It was getting late now, so the man in the sweater asked them if they were hungry, as there were some leftovers in the kitchen.
Moreover, their house had five bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms, and looked very spacious. They also invited Jones and the psychopathic fighter to stay overnight here, and told them that if they were in a hurry, they should leave tomorrow morning, as it would be very dangerous outside in the dead of night.
In order to get to the bottom of the situation, Jones had to agree.
But he still had to pretend and act a little embarrassed. They had already eaten dinner, but they were indeed a little tired and could only trouble the sweater man here for one night.
The man in the sweater didn't mind and prepared a guest room for them.
According to the man in the sweater, the master bedroom and the second bedroom were occupied, and one of the three guest rooms was also occupied, so Jones and the psychopathic fighter could each choose one.
To be on the safe side, Jones said, "But it's too much trouble. We can just stay in one room."
The man in the sweater seemed easy to talk to, so I agreed to his request.
As he said that, the man in the sweater went to the empty guest room to clean it up.
After he left, Jones did not remain confused as he had been in the middle-aged man's room at first, but got up and started to check the portraits on the wall.
There are five portraits in total, three of elderly people and two of middle-aged people.
The portraits of the elderly are two men and one woman.
The portrait of the middle-aged people is about the same age as the man in the sweater, and they are a man and a woman.
Judging from the portrait, the outlines of this middle-aged woman and man seem to be similar to those of the elderly people.
It seems that there is a certain blood relationship.
The sweater man quickly cleaned up the house and returned to the living room.
Jones took this opportunity to begin questioning the sweater man about his relationship to the people in the photos.
He was somewhat surprised by the answer from the man in the sweater.
According to the man in the sweater, the middle-aged woman in the photo is his wife, and the middle-aged man is the curly-haired woman's husband.
Because of the disaster, his wife and the curly-haired woman's husband were both killed. He felt sorry for the short-haired woman, so he took her in and formed a family.
Hearing this, Jones thought: No wonder these two people look unhappy. If they were still alive, would they be happy to see their loved ones with someone else?
Jones was not just gossiping when he thought this, because he felt this might be a clue.
Next, Jones continued to ask who those people above were.
The man in the sweater said that those were his parents and the curly-haired woman's father.
At this point, Jones felt strange. Logically speaking, the elderly should not be angry that their children were able to rebuild their lives.
This might be a clue. Without any other information, Jones could not make any inferences for the time being.
So he could only continue to ask: "My friend and I came here to find a lake. I wonder if you have ever been there?"
Before the sweater man could say anything, there was a bang nearby.
Jones was startled and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. The curly-haired woman who was cleaning had broken a plate for some reason.
The man in the sweater behaved like a gentleman. He squatted on the ground and helped the curly-haired woman clean up the glass. He then sent the curly-haired woman back to the master bedroom to rest.
Then he came back to answer Jones' question: "There are mountains all around, there is no lake. You must have gone to the wrong place. You should go back the same way early tomorrow morning."
This sentence doesn't sound contradictory. It can also be said that the man in the sweater is expressing that he will not harm them.
But Jones was basically certain that there was something wrong with the sweater man.
As a resident here, you may not know that there is a lake next to it.
After all, there is no need for residents to walk around, and the Curse Lake is far away from here. Who would have the time to walk so far to find a lake?
But the thing is, if the man in the sweater is the owner of this place, then he should definitely know about it.
Because Jones works backwards from rules and intelligence.
The rules require you to look for "lost items", and one of the lost items happens to be a portrait. It is obvious that the portrait should be the lost item of someone in this place.
But the problem is, the portrait was lost in Cursed Lake, which means that the person who lost the portrait must have been to Cursed Lake, otherwise how could Jones find it there.
If the man in the sweater is the owner of this place, even if he has not been there, someone in his family must have been there.
There's no way the sweater man didn't know where the Cursed Lake was.
Jones makes two inferences here.
First, the sweater man was an alien aborigine who, with his great strength, killed the curly-haired woman's husband and occupied the place.
Second, the sweater man and the curly-haired woman were both weird, but there were things in the house that they were afraid of, or there were rules and restrictions, so they did not take action.
Jones was more inclined to the first idea because the woman looked a little mentally ill.
Although Jones is not a real psychiatrist, he knows that people will exhibit some abnormal behaviors when they are stimulated.
The curly-haired woman had just been mopping the clean area, and Jones felt something was wrong.
Moreover, when he mentioned the Cursed Lake, there was movement from the curly-haired woman, which might be a hint to Jones that the woman knew something but she couldn't say it.
As for the second statement, it is also easy to understand.
So we need to re-analyze this.
All the statements made by the sweater man are lies.
Among the five photos, the middle-aged man and woman are the couple. The man in the sweater and the woman with curly hair killed most of the people here strangely, but there is a child among them.
Then rule 3 will be triggered.
[Rule 3: In this area, please do not refuse any child's request, otherwise he will be very angry. ]
The rules of this building are outrageous. No one can refuse a child’s request, and the child’s words are the rules.
Perhaps the child has made some strange requests.
So they can only play husband and wife here, because they can't beat the child at all, or rather, they can't beat the "angry" child.
By the way, in order to avoid being regarded as a pervert again, Jones had changed his clothes when he walked out of the middle-aged man's room, and the same was true for the psychopathic fighter.
