Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 38 Steampunk Alice Paradise

　　Yes, only if the real murderer is also included among the players, it only makes sense for the game to be started directly on the spot.

Yu Xing's eyes flashed, and the madness in his eyes was suppressed by the extreme calm. He only felt that the scenery in front of him trembled, and everything he looked at was like pieces of glass disintegrating.

  【The following lists the game information for this deduction】

The deduction prompt this time is dark red, like coagulated blood.

  【Medium-sized deduction: Aliceland】

  【Type: Mapping deduction game】

　　【Analysis: This type of deduction is based on real cases, twisting the rules and order to form an absurd space. The game content has a high or low degree of correlation with reality, and ultimately points to part of the truth of reality.】

  【This deduction game is a six-player game】

  【This deduction game does not take up real time】

After the world disintegrated into pieces, it was reassembled in a chaotic and disorderly arrangement, forming a completely different space from before.

The whole process only lasted two or three seconds. During these two or three seconds, Yu Xing was unable to move, just like an audience watching a movie.

"Great, this time it's finally not a routine of losing consciousness." He whispered in a low voice, walked out of the confinement at the moment when the world was formed, and took a general look around.

 Schools, students, security guards, tourists...all of them are gone.

Instead, there is a playground. Within his field of vision, there are permanent projects such as merry-go-rounds, bumper cars, and a towering Ferris wheel in the distance, as well as broadcast speakers everywhere.

 What is strange is that there is no sky here.

In other words, the original sky was tightly covered by a semicircular dome. The dome was made of pieces of metal, with many precise and beautiful gears exposed in the gaps, which were constantly rotating.

There are many large rings protruding from the metal surface, and huge hanging ornaments are hung, which are at least more than thirty stories high.

There is a giant ball embedded in the middle of the dome. The ball is emitting warm and bright light from the inside out, similar to the sun, but much softer than the sun.

"What kind of weird steampunk style is this..." Yu Xing looked up, his eyes showing surprise.

 He has never experienced this style of environment in person, he has only seen it in some games and movies, and he can't help but feel novel at this time.

And just looking at it like this, there is absolutely no connection between this place and the murder scene. It is indeed [absurd], and the distortion of the deduction space does not make sense at all.

After admiring it for a few seconds, Yu Xing's interest in this place has not diminished at all, and his interest in the murder has also increased.

 He ​​lowered his head and looked at himself. He was wearing the same clothes as in reality, but items such as mobile phones, keys, ID cards, etc. were all missing from his pockets, not even a napkin was left for him.

 All that is left of him is a good-looking skin... Well, there is also a kind, beautiful and pure soul - Yu Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Maybe something in the dark heard what he was thinking and couldn't bear the second part of the sentence, so he chose to interrupt his shameless exclamation through the radio.

A hollow female voice came from many loudspeakers at the same time: "Dear tourists, please listen carefully. Please follow the arrow to Alice Square within ten minutes to draw the identity card. The beautiful Miss Alice can't wait to play games with you~"

Following the announcement, a dark red arrow appeared on the ground at Yu Xing's feet, pointing straight in the direction of the Ferris wheel.

Yu Xing glanced at it curiously, and then walked forward happily.

 He passed bumper cars and carousels, and passed several metal plants with exaggerated and avant-garde shapes. These plants were dark brown in color, and the gears on their branches were rotating rapidly. Occasionally, two transparent glass **** exposed the mechanical structure inside the plants.

"Interesting..." After observing it for a few times, Yu Xing gradually wanted to take this two-person tall tree home as a decoration.

However, the time was only ten minutes, and he didn't know how far away Alice Square was, so he could only regretfully let go of the plants and continue to follow the arrows that appeared on the walls and tree trunks.

Not long after, he saw the mirror house and the rotating coffee chair. These facilities added steampunk elements based on reality and looked very attractive.

 And Alice Square finally appeared in sight.

It was a small circular square, surrounded by knee-high stone bricks. The stone bricks were red and black, and there were entrances in four directions.

Inside the stone brick fence, there is a towering model tower. Fortunately, from a distance, he can see the big heart symbol on the tower, the two-meter-diameter Gothic clock dial below the heart, and the tower's body is covered with red and black checkered small flag.

 When he entered the square, there were already three people present.

Two of them seemed to be a couple. The man had a well-proportioned figure, a gentle expression, and looked in his mid-twenties.

The woman was very beautiful, with delicate features, a lollipop in her mouth, and a cheerful smile on her face. However, her bangs seemed to be a little too long and poked her eyes, so she had to reach out to straighten them out from time to time.

The girl held her boyfriend's arm affectionately and was always looking for topics to talk to her boyfriend, while the man didn't talk much and just nodded and smiled casually along with the girl's words.

The other person was a young man, with a gloomy expression that Yu Xing was familiar with, and a slumped indifferent face. His whole person revealed a refrigerator temperament that said, "I'm not easy to mess with, so don't pay attention to me." He glanced at Yu Xing. sight.

 Oh haha.

Yu Xing stopped and took a look. There seemed to be an invisible wall between the couple and Zhao Yijiu, and they were completely different from each other.

Zhao Yijiu: "..." Why don't you come over now? I really don't want to stand next to a couple.

Seeing Yu Xing's look of wanting to smile, he was too lazy to talk nonsense and walked directly towards Yu Xing.

 “I knew it was you.”

"So, are you happy?" Yu Xing raised an eyebrow at him. Zhao's expression remained unchanged while he was drinking: "Fortunately, having someone familiar is indeed better than working alone. I would be happier if it were any deducer I know."

 “Okay~Okay~”

The rules of this game have not been announced yet, but Yu Xing was able to confirm that Zhao Yijiu was not a single-prism person, so no matter how he played, he almost eliminated a wrong option, so he was in a good mood at the moment.

The clock above his head made a crisp sound. Yu Xing looked up and saw that the hour hand was at 12, the minute hand was just shy of 2, and the second hand was just past 6.

 Presumably, the time here starts from when they entered the game, and now nine minutes and thirty seconds have passed.

“The last two are here!” The girl in the couple’s attention has been scattered everywhere. At this time, she saw the others as soon as they appeared, and her voice was a little louder.

At the same moment, a person came from two directions at the same time. Yu Xing glanced over and his eyes stayed on the person coming from the left for a while.

 No one else, because this man was wearing a famous brand and had three-dimensional facial features. It was Wang Cheng's nephew who was introduced to him by Zhu Yan, Wang Jue.

It seems to be no coincidence, he is the king in the list.

 Interesting?

Zhu Yan investigated Wang Cheng's suspicions. It happened that his nephew Wang Jue was a deducer, and the murderer of this murder case was also identified as a deducer by the system. The time of death of the deceased was uncertain, but Wang Jue was at Ruibo University at the time. inside.

Yu Xing's thoughts took a turn in his mind, and then he hid them without revealing any abnormalities.

“Know him?” Zhao Yijiu was keenly aware of the pause in his gaze.

"I don't know." Yu Xing replied casually, and then looked to the right. This was also a young man in his thirties, wearing a well-dressed suit, and seemed to be attending a very formal event.

 All six people completed the task within the allotted ten minutes.

 After the last person stepped into the square, the clock on the model tower suddenly struck, with a huge reply.

 All the hands on the dial were turned back at this moment, all counterclockwise back to the original point and frozen.

“Ding dong ding dong~”

The door on the first floor of the model tower suddenly opened. The small red and black bells decorated on the door made a clear and sweet sound. A woman walked out of the tower, which could only accommodate about nine adults.

 Her body is slightly larger than that of a normal human being, measuring two and a half meters tall, but her body proportions are perfect.

She has long black hair, wearing a red and black Lolita, with a lot of headdresses, necklaces, and lace gloves. The slender bow on her waist is elegant and cute, her skirt is fluffy, and she has a pair of long white legs that are covered from the calf. Wrapped in black stockings, and further down, is a pair of dark red round-toe shoes, also inlaid with bright gems.

But...it was obvious that apart from the big and small problems, everyone present could tell at a glance that she was not a human being.

Under the outline of her perfect face, the pleasant sound of gears is constantly making, her scarlet gemstone eyes are lifeless, and a few small metal gaps that can be distinguished if you look closely are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the face. In addition, her elbows Joints such as the , wrist and so on are also treated with ball joints.

 Like a mechanical doll 1.5 times the size.

“Welcome to Alice Square, I am your best friend Alice. I am hosting today’s game for you. Are you happy?” The big doll who calls herself Alice raised the corners of her mouth and showed an extremely stiff smile.

 Looking like this, first of all, she looked unhappy.

“Happy! How can we not be happy!” The girl in the couple applauded and was knocked on the head by her boyfriend.

"Next, let's draw the identity cards first, and then I will announce the content and rules of the game." Alice's scarlet eyes swept over everyone present, and the next moment, she took it from the exquisite small bag decorated with gems hanging on her waist. Create a thick stack of cards.

The back of the card was facing up, with a black background, and engraved with complicated patterns. Alice shuffled the cards with her flexible mechanical fingers, and spread the six cards out to the players in a fan shape: "Please draw the cards in the order I called. Your face must not be seen by others, otherwise I will carry out the punishment.”

She read out the name of the first Persona on the list who agreed to the game. The man in the couple stepped forward and took away a card without choosing at all.

 “Second place, ghost letter.”

The only human girl smiled and walked over, picking and choosing, and finally took away the bottom card.

Hmm, with such a strange name, Yu Xing thought it would be a man...

 Next, Zhao Yijiu, him, Wang Jue and the last man in a suit claimed the names of Lengjiu, Xing, Wang Jue and Ze respectively, completing the card drawing.

"The card drawing is completed. Now you all have your own identity. Please look at the cards." Alice held up her skirt elegantly and performed an aristocratic etiquette.

Yu Xing held the card and took a look. Three words - suspect were marked on it in pure white Gothic font.

Alice continued her explanation: "Among the six cards, there is a murderer card, a detective card, three suspect cards and a deceased card... Among them, the murderer card must be drawn by the real murderer in this world."

"What?" Wang Jue also seemed to be a cheerful type. He asked curiously, "Is it the case in my school?"

Yu Xing glanced at him.

The girl whose persona is Guishin also raised her hand: "Hey, may I ask this object, who is the real murderer in this world? What case is it?"

 Alice's scarlet eyes locked on her.

This object?

This game’s deduction style is a bit weird, so it shouldn’t be long.

　　～(￣▽￣～)~ I hope the bosses will like it.
