Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 53: Ancestor Yu is unhappy

Yu Xing searched the room again and hid some practical things in his trousers pockets.

Other than that, he didn't find anything else wrong.

In other words, there are only two ghostly things in the whole room, a painting and a doll, which have not reached the level that caused the cold air to surge up in his body. They are neither the source of the curse nor the sacrifice...

 At most, it is a gadget released by the source of the curse in advance to interfere with the deducers.

 And one of them is not very well-behaved.

After Yu Xing finished cleaning up, he looked back and saw that the doll was turning its head. It didn’t know when it turned around and crawled a few minutes toward him.

Looking at the little hand that it raised before putting it down, Yu Xing guessed that as long as he didn't look at it, the doll would be able to move. If his eyes fell on the doll, the doll wouldn't be able to move.

 A bit like a one-two-three wooden man.

If you are caught by a doll without knowing it, you may get cold.

Yu Xing frowned, picked up the doll from the ground, and stared at it for a few seconds.

 “Didn’t I say that you two were playing alone?”

He turned the doll's face towards the painting: "Look, after all we are traveling together with you, why don't we exchange feelings? Come on, be good."

 Doll:…

 The next moment, there was a "pop" sound and the doll's head was gone.

Yu Xing grabbed the body of the doll with one hand and pinched the forcibly pulled out head of the doll with the other hand, and successfully divided the doll into two parts.

Then he locked his body into the bottom drawer of the bedside table, and placed his head opposite the painting, looking at the woman in the painting in disbelief.

 He nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good."

 After completing this inhuman act, Yu Xing held the silver-inlaid cane and closed the door again and went downstairs.

There was actually no need to bring a cane, but he always felt that walking like this could save some energy.

Downstairs, York is playing chess with Eli, Susan is watching, Martha is not there, she probably went back to her room.

Yu Xing walked down to the first floor without hesitation and became a member of the onlookers.

The fire was making people very hot, and the table was close to the fireplace. Soon, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Yu Xing's head.

He saw that York's face was red because of the heat, but Ai Li didn't look hot at all. Apart from showing a little irritation because of his inferior skills, he seemed to have no sweat glands.

 After watching it for a while, Yu Xing couldn't bear it anymore and found a cool place to stay away from the fireplace.

 After that, Mrs. Brown prepared dinner and went up to the second floor. When they came down, they all sat around the dining table. Martha also walked out of the room, and Aiai sat between Yu Xing and York.

 Her expression was not good, and Yu Xing guessed that she saw something in the room.

 The situation in his room is probably similar.

Facing a table of food, Martha asked in a low voice: "Can you eat it?"

　　 Yu Xing: “I think so.”

Martha shakily forked a small piece of steak. Seeing that Mrs. Brown, Alex and Susan didn't pay attention to her, she asked again: "What if it was done by a ghost?"

Yu Xing smiled: "That should be it."

　　Martha:! ? Then you are so calm!

 She turned her head to touch York again: "Do you want to eat?"

 As a result, Yorkie was already chewing something in his mouth.

 He swallowed slowly and gave Martha the answer with his eyes.

　　Martha wanted to kneel down to the two of them.

 She is actually the kind of player who is timid in going with the wind and against the wind. With her big legs, she can have the confidence to commit suicide with her reasonably good abilities, but she will be timid if she really encounters a ghost.

She has not scheduled many simulations, and now she is also in the main mission stage. Every time she performs the simulation, she and her teammates have to hesitate for a long time whether to eat something that may be made by ghosts. Sometimes they just go hungry, and they are not too hungry for a day or two. Big relationship.

 However, the new teammates seem to be very skilled!

York glanced at her and then at Yu Xing, feeling that the contrast between the two was interesting.

 Masha is like a new person, and Yu Xing... This level of calmness reminds him of the first time he met someone, when a female ghost in red was wandering around in the old site of the Republic of China. That person also looked stable.

This game is a bit special for York because the system prompts are different from usual.

 Forget it, it’s better to think about this than to think about the present moment.

He said to Martha who was reluctant to use the knife and fork: "You won't eat this meal or the next meal? If we stay for more than one day, won't you starve to death?"

 After speaking, he patted her head: "Eat."

In Mrs. Brown’s eyes, this scene is a manifestation of brother-sister friendship.

She looked at Ally, who was frowning while eating, and Susan, who was putting the music box on her lap, and sighed quietly.

 …

Yu Xing originally thought that he would see Angel and Mr. Brown during dinner time, but neither of them came.

 After dinner, he couldn't help but ask Mrs. Brown: "Where's Mr. Brown? I didn't see him at dinner. Is he okay?"

"My husband is prone to coughing. There are three of you guests today. He said he didn't want to come down and bother you to eat, so he ate in the room." Mrs. Brown couldn't find any mistakes in her explanation. Seeing Yu Xing's doubts, she took the initiative to say , "I have already served him food before."

Yu Xing nodded understandingly: "I see. By the way, madam, do you only have two children in your family?"

Masha, who had not yet returned to the room, pricked up her ears.

Mrs. Brown almost dropped a plate in her hand, but York, who had been paying attention to her movements, caught it steadily.

York took the opportunity to ask: "What's wrong with you, madam? Is there anything wrong with this question?"

Mrs. Brown smiled and took the plate handed over by York: "I also have a daughter, her name is Angel, and she is not at home recently."

not at home?

Yu Xing glanced towards the stairs calmly.

 When he was not at home, why did the fake "Susan" remind him to be quiet and not to disturb Angel?

 Looking at the situation, Mrs. Brown obviously knows some inside information.

Suddenly some scattered things in Yu Xing's mind connected into a thread - he saw Alex who was about to go back to the room, and deliberately raised his voice: "Is Miss Angel old enough to go out alone? So what is the relationship between Miss Angel and Miss Angel?" Who is bigger, Airi? Is it Airi’s sister?”

"Angel, she..." Mrs. Brown's tone was a little hesitant, but Yu Xing's voice was useful.

Ai Li stopped and turned around. His usually serious expression softened a little, and there was a hint of softness in his amber eyes: "It's my sister. She has been away for more than a month, and I miss her very much."

 After saying that, Ai Li, who was not good at expressing friendly emotions, quickened his pace and entered the house, closing the door at the same time.

Yu Xing glanced at Susan behind the sofa at the right time. Susan was holding the music box and was about to turn the clockwork. Her expression showed no sign of like or dislike.

 A few seconds later, a burst of music floated out from the music box and filled the hall.

Mrs. Brown seemed to frown slightly, then relaxed, smiled and stepped forward to touch Susan's head: "That sounds great, baby, go to the room to play."

"Yeah." Susan didn't avoid Mrs. Brown's hand, but she didn't look very happy either. She held the music box and ran back to the room in a few steps.

  Yu Xing got the information he wanted, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

 Combining all information channels, he has already made a guess about the situation of this family.

In addition, he had another idea - the five people in this family, including Angel who was said to be "not at home", should not all be ghosts.

 There must be living people mixed in.

Mrs. Brown went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and the people in the hall... or ghosts were mostly gone.

Martha: "Brother Roy, Brother York, you guys, do you want to come to my room to play?" It's still a while before bedtime, and it's a period of free activity. It's a good time to exchange discoveries.

Just when Yu Xing was about to agree, he received a deduction prompt.

　　【This is your first day at Brown's house. You are very tired from the long journey. And the investigation is progressing slowly. You all know that the most important thing is to explore the source of the singing and screaming at night, so prepare to go to bed early. 】

　　【Please go back to your room separately. If you must exchange information, 60 stamina points will be deducted. 】

 This means that Yu Xing is not allowed to speak.

"..." Yu Xing didn't know whether the system saw that he had found some key points, or whether it was because he had not arrived at night and the three characters did not want to communicate. It would be a big loss if the 60 physical points were really deducted. After deducting the 60 physical points, Yu Xing could stay where he was. Asleep... His current physical strength is only 60.

 The physical strength value is cleared and forced to sleep.

Forget it, he should go back to his room.

Sure enough, York also said: "No, I'm a little tired after a day of hard work. Let's get some sleep first. After all, we still have to cheer up at night."

Their mission is not to exorcise demons.

The three of them gave each other a few words of advice. York returned to the room first, and Yu Xing also went upstairs under Martha's tearful eyes.

There were still bouts of coughing in Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s room on the second floor, but there was silence in Angel’s room.

 Don’t like noisy…

Yu Xing followed his conscience and walked to Angel's door, raised his hand and started knocking on the door.

 “Dong dong.”

  【You knocked on Angel's door, your physical strength was -10】

Yu Xing didn’t care. He remembered that the system said that the physical value would only be deducted directly when making key actions.

 In the past, the stamina deducted by walking was slowly grinded by -1-1, and there was no prompt to deduct stamina.

 Explain that knocking on Angel's door is the key action.

So Yu Xing continued to disturb the people:

 “Dong dong dong.”

 “Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong…”

 After dozens of consecutive attacks, there was still no movement in the room, but Mr. Brown’s coughing stopped.

Yu Xing rushed into his room like a MT who started taunting and ran away.

　　After closing the door, he put his ear against the door and listened for a while. He heard the door of Mr. and Mrs. Brown's room open. A burst of disorderly footsteps walked back and forth in the corridor, as if they were looking for something, but when they didn't find it, they returned to the room.

"Mr. Brown can come out, and his behavior is not like that of a normal person." Yu Xing defined it in his mind.

　　Who in the right mind would not ask "Who's knocking?" or "What's wrong with knocking?", but just walk around the corridor like a patrol?

  Confirming this, Yu Xing turned around and looked around the room. After being "split up", the puppets became much more well-behaved and did not move erratically.

 In order to take action at night, it is indeed time to sleep.

Mrs. Brown prepared pajamas for them, saying that they had been washed and could be worn without any worries.

Yu Xing hesitated for two seconds and decided to put on comfortable pajamas and have a good sleep on the bed, although the chaotic time and space style of this deduction made him lose his mobile phone and alarm clock.

 But if he wants to control his sleep time, he can still do it.

There is a small clock in the room, which shows that it is eight o'clock sharp.

 At eight o'clock in autumn, it should be completely dark outside.

Yu Xing changed his clothes, pulled back the quilt, turned off the light, and the whole room fell into darkness.

 He buried his head in the soft pillow, rubbed it a few times, and closed his eyes contentedly.

However, the word "sleep" may not be associated with him.

As soon as he lay down, before he was warmed by his blanket, a gurgling sound appeared in Yu Xing's ears in the silence.

He turned over and thought to himself: Well, the doll can’t crawl without its body, and it started to roll again.

 At the same time, two pieces of news suddenly came to his mind.

  【The main mission has been updated】

  【Find a solution and not be killed by ghosts tonight】

The mission that suddenly appeared made Yu Xing's sleepiness dissipate a little. He looked at it and found that this mission did not conflict with the previous main line and was brand new.

　　…Why can’t I get a good night’s sleep every time?”

The irritable version of Yu Xing immediately stood up and turned on the light. The light flashed twice and then went out.

 Yu Xing:…

In the dark, he listened carefully to the sound of the doll's head rolling, trying to adapt to the dark environment and look in the direction of the painting.

 He could only see a little outline, but it was enough. The ground in front of the painting was empty.

 The cabinet beside his bed began to make a thumping sound.

—The doll’s body also began to act like a monster.

Yu Xing rubbed his eyes and yawned.

 The task says to find a solution to avoid being killed by ghosts, which shows that the ghosts tonight are capable of killing people.

And this murderous ghost is either in the house itself, such as an oil painting or a doll, or it is a random person from the Brown family who comes in to gank by knocking on the door or other methods.

He actually prefers the latter. If it is indeed the latter, then the two restless factors in the room can be dealt with casually.

If it's the former, then he is now with something that can kill him, and he also has to think about why the Brown family has lived here for so long without any problems, but disaster will happen as soon as the "guests" move in. The Brown family and the villa What does the little ghost that can be seen everywhere have to do with it?

Just thinking about this, the doll's body suddenly stopped moving.

 A few seconds later, Yu Xing's face was stupefied when he saw a small figure crawling up from the bed.

It’s that doll. It worked very hard to put it together. I don’t know what method it used to put it together.

 The moment his eyes fell on the doll, the unfortunate doll stopped moving.

 However, it opened its terrifyingly big eyes, glowing faintly in the darkness.

After looking at Yu Xing for two seconds, the doll raised its hand in a "hug" gesture, and a childish voice that was childish and grainy came out from inside the doll: "Mom! Mom!"

Yu Xing had no fluctuation in his heart and taught him a serious lesson: "It's the wrong gender, and you're still a generation behind. Calling me grandpa is an advantage, but calling me ancestor!"

 But the doll didn't listen to him.

 In the darkness, the voice repeated over and over again, each voice having the same pitch as the previous sentence, like a repeater with a cassette:

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

 Zong Yu narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

  Another 4,000 chapters. I want a ticket (reach out)
