Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 3 I will poke it with this stick

Ten seconds after the wire was inserted, there was a click and the door lock opened.

The rusty iron door was blown open by the wind with a harsh sound, and a blast of cold air and falling dust fell on their faces.

"It's open." Yu Xing put away the wire, blocked the dust with his hands, showed off his achievements as if nothing had happened, picked up the camera and hid behind it, "Please."

 Since everyone knows that he is timid, let the bold one go first.

"It only took half a year to rust like this." Zhao Yijiu was not in a hurry to go in. Although a new dark space could be seen through the crack in the door, he still took his time and wiped the iron door as ugly as a scar. of rust.

"Our area is already humid. It rains a lot after autumn, and no one takes care of it. Rust is normal. You can see that there are mold in many places on the wall." Yu Xing pointed casually, and sure enough, in addition to spider webs, there were also There are some unnamed molds attached.

"Hmm." The other party responded and pushed the door all the way. Behind the door was a new corridor, which was much wider. There were walls on the left and rooms on the right.

The door frame of the room closest to them had a white sign hanging on it that read Office 01.

Yu Xing used his flashlight to shine farther away. Following the row, there were Office 02 and Office 03, and further away were the information showroom and toilets.

 There is a dark branch road between Office 03 and the Information Showroom.

Behind the toilet is another iron door. It seems that there are other areas behind it, but according to the factory map that Yu Xing searched online and memorized in his mind before setting off, it belongs to the search range of Tang Li and Tang Yuan who was assigned to the middle area.

Hand holding the flashlight, he took out **** to smooth out his soft hanging bangs, and pointed to Office 01 with his chin: "Go in and take a look?"

"Wait a minute." Zhao Yijiu kicked up a small wooden board from the ground, stuck the wooden board in the crack of the door with the toe of his shoe, closed the door and explained, "Keep the door closed from the wind."

 Why should we prevent it? The corners of Yu Xing's eyebrows were twitching. Was this a hint that they would need to escape later? Stop it...

Comrade Zhao Yijiu, can you please continue to use your cool and cold style of speaking little, and don’t make things so clear and make me nervous in vain?

With a sense of self-deception and comfort in his heart, Yu Xing followed Zhao Yijiu to the door of Office 01.

The door to the office was unlocked and opened with a slight twist of the door handle.

There are not many objects inside. At first glance, it seems that they have been basically emptied out as the factory was abandoned and people withdrew.

The only places left to hide things are the wooden cabinets against the wall, the desk opposite the door, and the sofa and coffee table on the other side of the desk.

 After entering the office, they had to take pictures and search for batteries. Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiao could only turn off the flashlights and turn on the night vision mode of the cameras.

  The screen in night vision mode emits a faint green fluorescence, bringing a hint of forest in the darkness.

Without another word, the two separated in a tacit understanding. Zhao Yijiu went to search the desk, while Yu Xing went straight to the locker.

According to his calculations, six people would need forty-eight batteries. If the deduction company did not plan to deliberately eliminate anyone, then the batteries would not be lower than this number. If the batteries were scattered throughout the factory, basically there would be one in a room. Two batteries.

The dust on the locker was thick and it looked like no one had touched it for a long time. He opened the door and looked at the faint fingerprints left on it, and a confusion emerged.

“It’s strange. The dust is so thick. How did the people from the company not leave any traces when they came to hide the batteries?”

  Along the way, he watched carefully because he had to pay attention to the battery.

 Just thinking about it now, it seems that I have never seen the footprints left on the ground.

As long as someone from the company has been here recently, it is impossible that there are no footprints.

Once he became suspicious, details emerged one after another. His heart beat a beat faster, and he maintained his composure to look through the contents of the cabinet through the camera.

 Unused toothpick buckets, empty square iron boxes with unknown contents, rags with unknown meanings, and fake ivory carvings with too obvious meanings... are all useless things.

There is no battery on it.

He squatted down and opened the drawer below. There were three levels of drawers in total. He pulled them up from bottom to top. There was nothing on the bottom two levels until the top one made a grunting sound when he opened it.

"You'd better poke your eyes out." A cold voice came from behind him. He was startled, turned around suddenly, and found that Zhao Yijiao, who was standing behind the desk, had a piece of paper in his hand, and his face was exposed. He stared at the content on the paper, as if he was just reading it.

"It's in the desk drawer." Seeing him turn around, Zhao Yijiu raised the paper towards him symbolically, "It says 'You'd better poke your eyes out'."

"Oh..." Yu Xingcai didn't want to poke his eyes out. He sighed. Zhao Yijiu's voice was almost as scary as a ghost. He lowered his head to see what was in the drawer he opened.

 Two round beads rolled to the edge of the drawer with inertia. Yu Xing was stunned: "Black glass beads?"

He stretched out his hand to fish it out, but the touch from his palm made his hair stand on end.

 “Soft! Ah!!”

 It is thick and has a bit of warmth.

These black glass beads, I bet they are "binary eyes"!

Zhao Yijiu was so frightened by him that his hands shook. He put down the paper and walked quickly towards Yu Xing, when he saw two objects thrown at him.

His head tilted, and the thing hit the ground behind him with a crisp cracking sound.

 “Why are you throwing glass beads?”

This sound is glass.

Yu Xing was confused and faced the question: "That's soft."

 “The hard ones are all broken.” Zhao Yijiu retorted mercilessly like a killer with no emotion.

"Impossible..." Yu Xing came to the broken beads without belief and pointed his camera at one of them. The fragments reflected a translucent luster.

 “…” Yu Xing was in disbelief.

 Am I hallucinating?

 Because the psychological suggestions you gave yourself were too strong, did you experience tactile hallucinations when you were nervous?

The sticky, warm and soft feeling became clearer and clearer in his memory. He frowned, not believing that it was his problem, and decided to explain the matter clearly to Zhao Yijiao: "When I picked them up just now, they were clearly eyeballs. …”

Although his eyeballs couldn't make any "Gululu" movement, which was why he thought it was a black glass bead at first and didn't think about it elsewhere, the touch in his hand was also real. In addition, the note on the desk happened to mention binoculars, so it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"According to what you said," Zhao Yijiu pondered for a moment, "there is something that interferes with your sense of touch and deliberately scares you." "Is that so?" If you say that, it is certain that there is a ghost here!

　　Forget it once, but when he was hit for the second time, Yu Xing felt that there was no need to seek death here. Afterwards, he felt that he was covered in cold sweat and was freezing.

"I want to leave."

Although he wants a better job, he doesn't want to notice the obvious weirdness and continue to suffer. There is another job and only one life.

 You only have one life.

Thinking of this, he became more determined: "What about you, do you want to go together? There are four other people..."

Zhao Yijiu stared at his face for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked for a long time, "Are you really going to leave?"

Yu Xing felt that what he asked was inexplicable. Why don't you stay here to celebrate the New Year?

"That's right." Zhao Yijiu nodded to himself, "It's a bit dangerous here, so let's go together."

 What a strange person. Yu Xing smiled.

In addition, from the hand held by Zhao Yijiu, he vaguely saw a piece of battery.

“…” It seems that the battery is over there at the desk. Damn it. Why? He was the one who was frightened, but someone else was holding the battery?

  Walking out of the office 01, Yu Xing's face looked a little bad. He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to go to the toilet: "I'll go to the toilet before leaving."

“Oh?” Zhao Yijiu glanced at him, “You still dare to enter the toilet now?”

 Since ancient times, in the field of horror, the toilet has been a well-deserved high-risk location in countless film and television works and urban rumors.

 Hanako in the toilet, mirror in the toilet, knocking on the door in the toilet, no paper in the toilet... any one of them is scary!

"Physical problems are not what I thought about." Yu Xing hesitated, "Will you accompany me to the next level?"

 I really don’t dare to enter alone.

"Yeah." Zhao Yijiu responded lightly, and walked with Yu Xing to the toilet deep in the corridor.

When passing the fork in the road, the deep darkness in the path made Yu Xing couldn't help but speed up his pace, for fear that a ghostly face would come out and send him to heaven in a second.

With the abandonment of the factory, the toilet has not been cleaned for a long time. The two of them smelled a strange mixed smell as soon as they entered.

What’s even more unexpected is that this men’s restroom is actually divided into cubicles. The urinals are separated and there is no visual connection between them.

 “Isn’t it easy to get into trouble...”

Yu Xing endured the discomfort and entered the outermost compartment. Zhao Yijiu stood outside the compartment waiting for him. He must have a warm heart under his cold appearance.

 There was a mop and a trash can in the cubicle, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

 “Can you hold the camera for me?” He was a little embarrassed.

“I think it’s better that you bring it in.” Zhao Yijiu actually didn’t agree this time.

"Why?"

 “Intuition.”

All right…

Yu Xing obediently brought his camera. He always felt that Zhao Yijiu was too calm on this occasion. Maybe he knew something and he should be right to follow the advice. As soon as he walked in, he put his camera on the ground and faced the wall to take pictures. He wanted to finish his work quickly and go out without even intending to close the cubicle door. A gust of wind blew over and made him shiver with cold.

At the same time, the door was blown shut.

 Is it going to be worse? Yu Xing instantly became alert, quickly zipped up his pants and turned around to open the door.

　　　…”

 The door cannot be opened.

 “Zhao Yijiu?”

 No one answered.

 It's over, it's over, it's over... Yu Xing suddenly felt a headache. Is this the third time? Why is it always him?

"I have no paper, I'm deaf, I don't want to buy anything, don't ask, I'm cute, I don't want to listen to the next door, don't put paper in the next door, please let me go, please QAQ..." After thinking casually, he picked up the camera. , ready to run away as soon as the door opens.

The sound of flushing came from the toilet. Yu Xing, who was paying attention to the crack in the door, stiffened and immediately said, "I'm deaf, I'm blind, I poked my eyes out, I can't see you, don't waste your efforts..."

 It’s really a complete coward.

However, even though he said he was blind, he still looked into the urinal bit by bit with his peripheral vision uncontrollably.

 A pair of red eyes happened to meet his.

The pale face was soaked in the water, and the long black hair came out and piled up in the pool, blocking it tightly.

 This is a woman’s face.

It was swollen and deformed so that the original appearance could not be seen. It only felt ugly and terrifying. The woman's body seemed to be still in the sewer and was trying to climb up. Her mouth opened and she let out a sinister laugh that sounded like teeth clashing.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification

"Ghost!!" This was the second time Yu Xing called out these two words in less than half an hour. This time he was absolutely sure that if he went to Nima's new recruitment test, he would send them to the ghost nest!

The female ghost's face is getting closer and closer, and it looks like she will crawl out of the urinal soon. Her laughter is getting louder and louder, and it seems to be mixed with some difficult-to-identify sentences: "Giggle... …eye…poke…”

Yu Xing was desperate at that time.

He reached out and picked up the mop next to him, stepped on the mop with his foot and pulled out the wooden stick with all his strength. He shouted innocently and fearfully: "Did you tell me that I'm a coward? Don't scare me! You're laughing!"

Immediately, a stick poked the female ghost in the face and pushed her back into the sewer.
