Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 44 Blood stains on the lining

Xie Ze's face was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that this man thought he was the murderer!

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not that perverted. If my girlfriend leaves, I will kill her. Am I still a human being?" He retorted angrily, not flustered by this accusation without evidence.

 “Really?” Yu Xing looked unbelieving.

"Of course, if you want to identify me, you have to provide evidence." Xie Ze smiled, then was startled, "How do you know that the person who died in reality was a woman?"

Yu Xing blinked: "I just guessed it casually. How do you know that only one person died in reality?"

These words already sounded a bit nonsense, Xie Ze became speechless, and the lovers in the other cup also looked over.

“It’s not a good guess, Yu Xing.” Ling Heng reminded.

Yu Xing sat up suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a dream, his face full of apologies: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I was hit by a curse when Zhao Yijiu and I were on the jumping machine. Emotions will be amplified and cannot be controlled. Live. I just...well...everyone is a little suspicious."

 It doesn’t cost any money anyway, it’s just nonsense.

 The young couple looked at each other.

"Forget it, it's okay...I understand." Xie Ze patted Yu Xing's shoulder. The next second, he felt something was wrong.

So hot.

 The walls of the cup are starting to heat up.

Yu Xing's face changed and he became panicked: "Here we go, it's very hot. Is this cup an oven?"

They said the oven was not accurate, at least they left a big gap in the top of the cup.

“Holy shit.” Xie Zeteng stood up. In a short time, the cup was hot enough to fry an egg.

Yu Xing felt an unstoppable heat spread from the soles of his shoes to his feet and butt. At this temperature, if no measures were taken, all the places where he and others came into contact with the coffee chair would be destroyed by the end of the game.

 He had no choice but to stand up.

"Ahhhh..." Chen Jiu yelled over there, standing up and jumping in the cup, "It's so hot, so hot! What the **** is this deduction? It's just a program to torture the body. Now it wants to turn us into roasted breasts." Pig?"

"You are the only one who is a pig." Ling Heng did not panic in this situation. He stood up and carefully avoided Chen Jiu's injured arm. "Come on, I will carry you."

"Fart, what are you going to do if you carry me?" Chen Jiu spoke very bluntly. She rudely rejected her boyfriend's kindness, "I was wrong. I take back my words about traveling at public expense. It's too difficult."

Ling Heng shook his head and took advantage of the small space in the cup of the coffee chair to turn around and forcefully carry Chen Jiu on his back.

"Have you forgotten that I have a sacrifice that can isolate non-physical attacks?" He smiled, and there was a special cold aura about him. In an instant, the heat under his feet and around him subsided a lot.

 Xie Ze looked over with greedy eyes.

"How long can you last?" Chen Jiu grabbed Ling Heng's shoulders and asked worriedly.

"What aspect are you talking about? If it's a sacrifice, it can cover two people and hold it for five minutes. If I say it, it can last a whole day." Ling Heng's words were full of reassuring atmosphere, and Chen Jiu felt relieved. However, Xie Ze's eyes welled up with tears.

Well, it directly blocked his desire to use the sacrifice.

He doesn’t have any sacrifices that are suitable for heat insulation. This is really... Hey, why is it so cold next to him?

 A sudden chill came over him in the scorching heat. Xie Ze subconsciously looked to the side and saw an exquisite Chinese lantern suddenly in Yu Xing's hand.

The candle in the lantern has been lit, and it is not obvious under the illumination of the artificial light ball on the dome. The white body of the candle can barely be seen through the gap.

Yu Xing, who was holding the candlestick, was undergoing a terrifying change bit by bit.

His handsome face slowly appeared a touch of blue-grey, and his eyes darkened.

 The skin that was not covered by clothing gradually gained a strange luster, the hair grew inch by inch, and the whole person's aura became gloomy.

This change lasted for more than ten seconds. When Xie Ze was covered in sweat, his face was distorted, and he felt like he was getting used to it, Yu Xing finally stopped changing.

 He became a zombie.

Hair grows to shoulder length, and his handsome face looks very stiff. The dark circles under his eyes are as good as those of a panda. His eyes are pure black, exuding a ghostly aura. The exposed nails are also black, as sharp as small blades, and he looks very aggressive.

 “What is this!?” Before Xie Ze could recover, he was carried by Yu Xing on his back.

Yu Xing spoke slowly, but his voice did not change much, but became deeper: "Sacrifice, change the form, do you a favor."

He thought that this pseudo-ghost form should be able to withstand a lot of heat and make him feel more comfortable.

By the way, I also took advantage of Xie Ze next to me.

"It's amazing." Xie Ze's feet were finally out of the sea of ​​suffering. He was not tall, so it was not difficult at all to be carried on the back of a tall man like Yu Xing.

“Ghost transformation?” Ling Heng murmured into another cup.

Chen Jiu noticed her boyfriend staring at others: "Hey, Ling Heng, please don't—"

"Did you see it? It's a ghost transformation! A living person's ghost transformation! I've never seen such a sacrifice!" Ling Heng was carrying Chen Jiu on his back, but his eyes were fixed on Yu Xing and couldn't move away, a gentle expression on his face. With suspicious eagerness, his voice became excited, "Yu Xing, is this the ability you got from the sacrifice?"

"Yes..." Yu Xing noticed something strange about Ling Heng and looked over while the cup was rotating.

He spoke slowly, paused and continued: "After becoming a ghost, my thinking... will be much stiffer."

What a fart.

 He is very good and his mind is as active as a rabbit.

 But in front of these three people, he decided to show off. Ling Heng said nothing more, and the enthusiasm on his face did not diminish at all. Instead, it became more intense as he thought of something unknown.

For nearly four minutes, Yu Xing faced this look. At three minutes, he also received a look of resentment from Chen Jiu.

　　 Yu Xing: “…”

 At the end of the project, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

 The coffee chair cooled down quickly, and a white note appeared at the bottom.

 “The dead are among you.”

Yu Xing couldn't tell the difference in his stiff grimace, but he felt keenly that Xie Ze's pupils changed for a moment after he put him down.

"Yu Xing, how did you get into this state?" As soon as he left the facility, Ling Heng ran to Yu Xing's side and looked at the corrupted body up and down, "Ghost! It's a ghost!"

 “Hmm…” Yu Xing followed him and looked at her.

“So are you considered a human or a ghost now?” Ling Heng became excited and pulled his forearm feverishly, “Can I ask you something?”

"Huh?" Yu Xing glanced at him in confusion, perfectly showing that he couldn't keep up with his thinking. After two seconds, he nodded, "You ask."

 “How long can this state last?”

Yu Xing thought for a while: "Thirty minutes."

"So long! Let's go over there. I want to ask you alone!" Ling Heng pointed in the direction of the Alice Central Square, "Go to the middle, the safest place, okay?"

 “Alas, here we go again.” Chen Jiu looked at the two of them speechlessly, especially looking at Yu Xing with pity in his eyes.

"What is your boyfriend...?" When Xie Ze saw Ling Heng's attitude, he was like a good guy, just like the previous moderate.

“He is a biologist. Ever since he became a dedulator, he has been studying some, well, I can’t name, messy things between humans and ghosts.”

Chen Jiu looked at her abducted boyfriend distressedly: "Although he is normal at ordinary times, when it comes to scientific research, he is simply a Frankenstein. He often spends all day in the laboratory. That's why I say he travels at public expense. It's not a joke... He usually takes a break to stay with me, and last night he finally came home for a break. I just want to stay with him for a while, anywhere." She straightened the bangs that poked her eyes. Watching Yu Xing nod slowly, he was then dragged away by Ling Heng.

 She will be chased by her scientific research boyfriend, which is not easy for Yu Xing.

She muttered harshly: "You dog...if you have a job, you don't have a girlfriend."

 Xie Ze laughed.

Since Ling Heng wanted to ask Yu Xing questions for the purpose of research, he and Chen Jiu couldn't follow him, so they found a small round table in the rest area next to the coffee chair and sat down casually.

Four clues have been gathered, and no one except the detective needs to take on another project, unless there are too few clues and the suspect is not confident in inferring the two identities.

The figures of Ling Heng and Yu Xing gradually moved away until they were no longer visible. Xie Ze held his uncomfortable stomach, stretched his legs that had been damaged by the heat, turned on the chat mode, and asked Chen Jiu who had been talking about his boyfriend's scientific research results next to him: " If you care about him so much, you must love him very much, right?"

Chen Jiu paused for a moment, then nodded: "Of course, hum, I was the one chasing him at the beginning. His personality is like this, he is indifferent to everything he does. I could feel that he liked me at the beginning, but if I want him to take the initiative to confess, I’m afraid I’m out of my mind.”

"Hahaha, then he is quite interesting." Xie Ze laughed a few times, and then asked, "If, I mean if. He was busy with scientific research and neglected you, and failed to keep the promised dates several times, what would you do? Are you angry?"

"Of course! Work is not as important as a girlfriend! And you should keep your promise." Chen Jiu rolled his eyes in the direction Ling Heng left.

The look in Xie Ze's eyes became darker: "Are you going to quarrel or break up with him because of this?"

 Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment.

 She suddenly came to her senses after being asked so many questions.

Why is Xie Ze so concerned about this kind of issue?

Chen Jiu felt suspicious in her heart and couldn't help but look at Xie Ze.

She and Xie Ze are now sitting face to face, with a round table in between. The angle is somewhat similar to when Yu Xing and Xie Ze were sitting in coffee chairs.

 She saw that after sitting down, the collar of Xie Ze's suit was pushed up a little, revealing the inner lining that was not visible when he was standing.

And when she accidentally glanced, she discovered that at the neckline, which was usually blocked by the suit, a dark red mark the size of a thumb was quietly stained there.

what is that?

 Chen Jiu thought doubtfully.

"Tell me, will you break up with your boyfriend because of this?" Xie Ze didn't notice her gaze, but stared at Chen Jiu's lips, waiting for the answer that was about to come out of his mouth.

 There was a faint smell of perfume from Xie Ze's body that drifted into Chen Jiu's nose.

 That is a perfume for women. Due to its inferior quality, the fragrance is not elegant, but rather pungent.

Chen Jiu thought that the perfume smell might have been left on him by Xie Ze's girlfriend.

 But, didn’t Xie Ze say that his girlfriend broke up with him? The fact that this scent can be preserved until now means that Xie Ze and his girlfriend met not long before entering the game.

Hmm, although I can’t rule out that it belongs to another woman... But judging from the suit on Xie Ze’s body, the company must be pretty good. Do women among my colleagues wear such low-quality perfume?

 She looked at the dark red marks on Xie Ze's inner lining again.

 It must be blood.

 An idea appeared in Chen Jiu's mind, and her eyes moved slightly, echoing the question Yu Xing asked Xie Ze in the coffee chair.

 Because your girlfriend is breaking up, you can't keep her.

 “You’re just going to kill her?”
