Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 6 Are you a screaming chicken?

Yu Xing, who was completely unaware of this, put away the wire and felt that something was wrong with the man behind him.

 Suddenly there was a hint of coolness behind my back.

Did Zhao Yijiu grow up eating popsicles?

  Humanoid self-propelled small air conditioner!

Before he could turn his head, suddenly, a voice came from far and near: "Great! You are here! Zhang and Zhang Shuya are missing. Can you help me look for them?"

Yu Xing turned to look and saw Fang Rui running towards him, with an expression as if he had finally found a savior. He stopped only when he was close, holding his knees and panting.

"It's almost one o'clock. Zhang Shuya is missing. I can't find her no matter how hard I look!" Fang Rui took a breath and looked at the two of them expectantly with his messy brown hair on his head.

 “Gone?”

 Zhao Yijiu put away his desire to explore Yu Xing and looked at Fang Rui coldly.

"Yes!" Fang Rui saw that one of the two people had an indifferent face and the other had a confused face, and couldn't help but twitch his forehead - why don't these two Buddhist gentlemen care about the missing beauty?

Moreover, this place is very evil!

He could only scratch his hair and explain proactively: "At 0:35, I had a stomachache and went to the toilet for a while, so I decided to search the men's room and found a battery in the last cubicle. "

"Ah...did you see anything scary?" Yu Xing asked curiously.

"Ah, well... I took the battery and thought I couldn't let Zhang Shuya, a girl, wait outside for too long, so I went back without stopping. But before I went back, I seemed to hear the sound of footsteps."

Yu Xing said "Oh~" in a long tone and quickly deduced a possibility.

 Hands of people who hold batteries will be attacked by ghosts. This is a rule that he and Zhao Yijiu summed up. If they are right, Fang Rui taking the battery will definitely attract the attention of the ghost. If the ghost does not meet Fang Rui...

The one who was closest was probably Zhang Shuya who was attacked, just like Zhao Yijiao who was innocent when he took the battery.

Of course, there is another possibility. Fang Rui is a ghost among the six applicants, just pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.

Zhao Yijiu urged: "Go on, what will happen after you go back?"

"Oh, I didn't see her when I came back, so I searched nearby for a long time. Didn't I meet you now? Do you think she might have gone to other areas? Oh, right. What are you two doing here at the gate? "..." Fang Rui said as he suddenly realized something was wrong and looked at them suspiciously, "You don't want to leave, do you?"

Yu Xing was sad when he heard this: "We have to leave now. The door can't be opened and the message can't be sent out. We are trapped here."

He thought for a while and said loudly: "Hey, I will tell you a secret quietly. There is really a ghost here. Do you believe it?"

"I believe it, I believe it!" Fang Rui nodded, telling the truth. When he and Zhang Shuya found the two batteries in the hall, there was a human head sticking out of the machine. Zhang Shuya thought it was a prop, but he saw it. , what is connected under the head is not some mechanical mechanism, but is empty!

He told Zhang Shuya, and Zhang Shuya laughed at him for seeing it wrong.

 After nodding, he asked: "Where is the window? Can the window be opened?"

　　　…”

　　　…”

　 Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu suddenly fell silent.

forgotten.

There are also windows.

The nearest window was next to it. They went over and pushed it. As expected, the window frame seemed to be rusted. No matter how hard they tried, it was ineffective.

You can only see the heavy rain outside mercilessly beating on the dirty glass. Occasionally, a flash of lightning illuminates the sky, and thunder makes a muffled sound.

They followed the wall and pushed open a few more windows, but the result was the same.

Zhao Yijiu pursed his lips. He forgot about the window because he knew that neither the window nor the door could get out, so he didn't care about it.

Yu Xing could forget in such a hurry to go out? Sure enough, there must be a problem.

Would the other party be like him...

"ah!"

At this moment, a sharp scream came from a few floors away from the wall, interrupting Zhao Yijiu's guess.

"A woman's cry." Yu Xing looked away from the desolate scenery outside.

Fang Rui was startled: "It's Zhang Shuya, over there in the toilet! Let's go there quickly!"

He ran over immediately, leaving Zhao Yijiu and Yu Xing looking at each other.

 Zhao Yijiu smiled half-heartedly: "Do you dare to go?"

Yu Xing shook his head decisively: "I don't dare, I'll forget it...hey, I went, I didn't pay attention, the camera is out of battery!"

"Okay, you said you're going." Zhao Yijiu took out the enterprise-level understanding, and then took out the only battery that the two of them got from the bathroom sink from his pocket and rushed to Yu Xing, "Battery , go and give it to you.”

 Yu Xing looked at Zhao Yijiu pitifully while holding the powered-off camera, and then glanced at the battery.

 At this stage, he felt that failing to follow the "rules" explained by Assistant Hao was not a good thing. If any death conditions were triggered, it would be a disaster.

But Zhao Yijiu only has this battery, so if you give it to him...

Yu Xing asked: "What should you do? Your camera will run out of power in two minutes."

 Because the night vision is turned on at different times, there will be a slight difference in the time when the battery is out of power.

Zhao Yijiu subconsciously touched his pocket, and when his fingertips touched the cold metal, he said coldly: "I'm safer than you."

“Then I’ll go!” Yu Xing was full of desire for survival. He quickly took the battery and changed it as he walked, “Let’s go quickly.”

The two of them had a very quick discussion, and Fang Rui had just run into the corridor.

When they caught up, they saw Fang Rui banging on the door of a room: "The sound should be coming from inside, what should we do? Will something happen to her?"

Yu Xing looked toward the door.

 The white sign says [Women's Changing Room].

"Damn, it's locked!" Fang Rui's voice was full of urgency. No one must hope that something will happen, which means that things are developing in the worst direction. The sound of banging on the door broke the silence, and Yu Xing cheered up:

 "Locked? Then I..."

"There's no time." Zhao Yijiu interrupted him, easily pushed Fang Rui, a strong-looking young man aside, and kicked him!

The door was kicked open amid violent tremors.

Yu Xing: Is this friend addicted to door kicking...

 They rushed in and looked around.

 “Ah!” There was another scream, coming from Yu Xing.

　　An eyeless corpse was leaning against the door frame, with long curly hair hanging messily on the side of the face. Blood seeped out of the holes in the eyes, and the blood snaked down the cheek until it formed a puddle on the ground.

Yu Xing was already hiding behind Zhao Yijiu when he screamed. Zhao Yjiu could even feel the trembling from the other person's fingers grabbing the clothes on his back.

this…

 He couldn't help but doubt himself. If the other person was pretending, would he be so realistic?

Glancing at the corpse, he pulled Yu Xing out from behind and pushed towards Zhang Shuya: "Aren't you familiar with corpses? Go up and see how he died."

“Oh no!” Yu Xing nimbly dodged Zhao Yijiu’s movements and refused frantically with a look of fear on his face, “No, I’m scared. No!!”

"Are you a Screaming Chicken?" Zhao Yijiu had a headache. He had never seen such an unstable man before. Although the other person's cry was better than that of a Screaming Chicken, it was still noisy.

"I'm screaming chicken? I'm fine." Yu Xing retreated to a safe distance and pointed at Fang Rui unconvinced, "You think he is calm, but in fact he is scared out of his wits."

Zhao Yijiu was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Fang Rui.

Fang Rui's face turned pale and he froze in place, staring blankly at the body of the girl who had been chatting and laughing with him about twenty minutes ago, feeling that the world was very psychedelic.

The dead are not terrible, what is terrible is the cruel way of death with their eyes gouged out.

 What’s even more frightening is that the murderous thing is nearby.

 He ​​finally came back to his senses and found that he was too frightened to move. He said weakly: "Yeah... don't be a chicken and care about me..."

"Okay, I'm such a kind person, and I'm the best at caring for others." Yu Xing immediately went over to help Fang Rui, but Fang Rui didn't know why, but a comment popped into his mind: I don't know what it was at first. Who said you can't take care of girls, now you are the most caring about people?

"..." Zhao Yijiu stared at them for two seconds. His eyes paused on Yu Xing's hand holding Fang Rui's arm. He was too lazy to say anything more and walked to the body and knelt down to check.

“The eyes were gouged out, very deep, straight into the brain.” His voice was as cold as a machine with no emotion. He reached out and turned the body over, “There are no other wounds.”

Yu Xing imagined the scene where Zhao Yijiu said in a serious and expressionless manner, "I'm a deadbeat, I can't have any emotions." He felt that his little heart, frightened by the corpse, started beating again.

Then he had enough time to think: "Eyes...the ghosts here really like eyes. They wrote notes asking people to poke their eyes out, they chased after me and poked their eyes blind, and now..."

Fang Rui listened with a confused face: No, what have you experienced since we separated?

“Ah, that’s Zhang Shuya’s camera.” Yu Xing tilted his head and saw the camera that fell to the ground under the bench.

Fang Rui also recovered, and the two of them walked over together. When Yu Xing picked up the camera, he was particularly afraid that another hand would reach out from under the bench and pull him in. Fortunately, it was okay this time. He straightened up and fiddled with it. Two things picked up.

 “The battery is out.” Yu Xing raised his voice and said to Zhao Yijiu who was next to the body, “Check her body to see if there is any battery!”

Zhao Yijiu understood it as soon as he heard it and murmured in a low voice: "It's quite good at summoning people."

"Hey!" Fang Rui's eyes widened in disbelief, "If you want the battery, don't look for it from a dead person. She just died. Doesn't she respect the dead a lot!?"

“Hmm,” Yu Xing was surprised, “Is that what you think?”

"Am I wrong?" The paleness on Fang Rui's face has not faded yet, and it looks closer to Yu Xing's skin color. "We should respect the dead..."

"Friend." Yu Xing patted Fang Rui on the shoulder and asked, "It is necessary to respect the dead, but this is not the way to respect the dead. Is it respect to not touch it and let it stay as it is until it rots?"

He showed a strange smile: "Get clues and unravel the cause of her death, and don't let anyone know how she died. This is respect."

Fang Rui listened blankly, and suddenly realized that the timid young man in front of him was also 1.8 meters tall, which was a bit taller than his own height of 1.82 meters. This rare moment of seriousness actually made him feel a sense of oppression.

 “Oh oh...” His mind was a little confused.

“No battery.” On the other side, Zhao Yijiu had already quickly searched the bodies. Naturally, he heard Yu Xing’s words and thought to himself: Tsk, I can’t tell, this thing does look like that when it comes to seriousness.

"No battery..." Yu Xing frowned slightly, "We have concluded before that the battery will attract ghosts, but the camera is out of power and there is no battery on her body, which means that her death was not caused by touching the battery. This represents-"

"It means there is another condition that triggers the ghost." Zhao Yijiu continued. According to Assistant Hao's instructions, he could draw an unpleasant conclusion, "If the camera is out of power for more than five minutes, it will be killed by the ghost."

"Huh?" Fang Rui couldn't help but feel lucky, "I replaced the battery before I found you, and it's fine."

He is fine, but Zhao Yijiao is not.

 Not good.

 Because just now, his camera ran out of battery.

Yu Xing also thought about this. Zhao Yijiu gave him the battery, and he asked: "What should I do? Go back and get the battery?"

This "go back" refers to the office. They have found out the location of the battery in office 0203.

“Well, I’ll go now, I’ll have five minutes.” Zhao Yijius said as he ran outside.

"You go first, I'll look for you later!" Yu Xing took a step slower. It wasn't because he was afraid that he let Zhao Yjiu go first. It was just because he was weak in physical strength. In less than five minutes, he let Zhao Yjiu go first. Waiting for him will delay things.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is much easier for Zhao Yijiu to run alone when encountering a ghost than to take him with him.

When Zhao Yijiu disappeared, Fang Rui sighed: "He is so courageous and has great skills. What do you think he did originally?"

"I don't know." Yu Xing saw Zhang Shuya's body lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye. He stepped forward to straighten it up and took a closer look.

 She looks really beautiful.

The living life... just died in a daze.

Fang Rui looked at his movements blankly: "Aren't you afraid!?"
