absurd deduction game

Chapter 10 Persona
The three ghosts in the abandoned factory finally disappeared under the lens of the camera.

Time, one hour and twenty minutes.

After Yu Xing threw the camera away, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I don't have to hold on to this thing. I really don't know how in some foreign horror games, the protagonist holds the camera from beginning to end to parkour."

Zhao Yijiu still held the camera in his hand: "Are you sure you don't need it?"

"Why not? If the ghosts are gone, no one will come to punish me if I don't change the battery." Clap the ashes on his hands, Yu Xing walked back from behind the desk, and when he looked up, he saw a dark man standing outside the door. figure.

I don't know when the figure appeared, and it was quietly half-hiding behind the door, with a pair of eyes peeping into the office. If it is not good enough to change the psychological quality, it can be frightened on the spot.

"Assistant Hao, you're here."

Zhao Yijiu quickly put the knife into his pocket and followed Yu Xing's line of sight as if nothing had happened.

Hearing someone calling out his identity, the figure outside the door moved, and a flashlight suddenly lit up, shining on the man's fleshy face from the bottom up, casting a strange shadow.

It stands to reason that the general "applicant", that is, the person who takes the test without knowing it, finally completes the test and encounters another ghost. The ups and downs of the mood are not a joke.

However, how calm the two people in the room should be, watching Assistant Hao's performance silently.

"...Congratulations." After a few seconds, seeing that the desired effect could not be achieved, Assistant Hao removed the flashlight with a dry smile and walked out from behind the door, intending to pretend that nothing happened, "You two passed recruiting from our company.”

"Thank you, I'm so sleepy-"

"Ah."

Assistant Hao has seen many newcomers who were angry and questioned when they heard this, and there were also tears of joy, but he had never seen people like these two - they looked like they had expected it.

Look, that pale-skinned youth is still yawning!
Rubbing his eyes, Assistant Hao couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Then he thought about it, maybe his time as a rookie tester was too short, and he didn't have much knowledge. Look, he didn't arrive for an hour and a half. what!

Thinking of this, he showed that standard smile on his face, beckoning for the two to come closer.

Zhao Yijiu put the camera in the cabinet and approached with Yu Xing.

Assistant Hao observed the expressions of the two, although as a ghost, his vivid appearance was a bit inconsistent: "Actually, your memory should have been restored by now, think about it, in reality, there is no us This game company exists."

"Well." Zhao Yijiu's tone was flat.

"Understood, you continue to say." Yu Xing didn't care much.

Before, in his mind, there was indeed information about this deduction company, including online evaluations, well-known anchors, regular programs, and even the company building used for the previous round of interviews. People can't find mistakes.

And after Assistant Hao's voice fell, and went to recall these, Yu Xing remembered that he had only been implanted with these memories a few hours ago, and there was no such thing as a friend recommending him for an interview three days ago.

He didn't do things like look up online information, measure company risks, and so on.

Of course, although his memory was inevitably distorted, he knew this for a long time, so he was not affected at this time. He believed that Zhao Yijiu, who could get the sacrificial knife in advance, was the same.

"Since our company is fake, you must be very curious about what force distorted your memory and what our purpose is." Assistant Hao didn't care about the clear "nothing at all" on their faces. Curious" look, this is his task he must make it clear.

"Here, I want to solemnly re-declare—"

"Welcome to your qualifications to enter the absurd deduction game!"

As soon as his voice fell, Yu Xing felt a coldness coming from all directions.

The gloomy aura burrowed into his body like bone-encrusted maggots, and then gathered in his brain, as if to devour his soul—if humans really have such a thing as a soul.

Vaguely, Yu Xing heard someone talking in his mind.

It was very noisy, not one person, but many people, buzzing like a hundred monks chanting sutras around their ears.

Gradually, there were crying and screaming in the voice, the roar of things falling, the sound of running, the cry for help, and the roar he was most familiar with.

The content of the roar was... Yu Xing frowned, biting fiercely on the tip of his tongue, and the bloody smell spread in his mouth, causing him to forcibly interrupt the voice in his mind.

He doesn't want to listen.

He didn't want to hear what happened next.

The pain caused full wakefulness, the voices faded like a tide, and at last he heard only a mechanized—

"Evaluating game test results."

"The evaluation is completed, and the candidate Yu Xing meets the conditions and is eligible."

"Generating persona template."

It is a system for deducing the game!There was a little excitement in Yu Xing's eyes, knowing that everything he did was for this.

No one knew how long he had waited for this moment.

But before the results were generated, his pupils shrank, and he immediately covered his mouth with his right hand, swallowing the rust smell that suddenly surged up from his throat, and a layer of sweat oozes out from the surface of his body.

oh shit, it's over...

Yu Xing gasped indistinctly, and secretly said in his heart: The gloomy and cold breath just now seemed to have aroused physical discomfort. If I don't rest, the consequences will be a little unpredictable.

There are others here, and he doesn't want to reveal too much.

The next moment, the mechanized voice sounded again: "The persona template has been generated."

A translucent white template suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which was connected to consciousness. He hardly needed to look carefully, and the content on it was completely swept by him.

【Personality mask? (unnamed)】

【Holder: Yu Xing】

[Basic information: male, height 185cm, weight 65kg, age *#*# (error occurred)]

[Identity: To be activated]

【Proportion of mask: not evaluated】

[Description of the holder: Let me see... You are wrong, how did you get in? 】

[Personality sacrifice: ? ? ? (Because the first deduction has not been completed, the original sacrificial ability explanation is temporarily hidden, and the ability is not affected, please find out by yourself)]

[Personality Alienation: ? ? ? 】

[Deduction mall: not open]

【Wish List: Empty】

[Please choose to start the Persona evaluation game within three days. If you have not started the game after 72 hours, you will be forced to enter in the last minute. If you succeed, you can activate the Persona. The loser loses qualifications, and death is the ideal destination]

This is really... Yu Xing looked at this string of data equivalent to the player template, and searched for adjectives in his mind.

Ah, there is, "there is weirdness everywhere"!
The place where the error occurred, and the place where the owner describes it, is very suspicious at first glance!

Yu Xing could only raise his eyebrows: Fortunately, no one else could see it.

In addition to this string of data, a lot of new content was automatically added to his mind.

Sort it out:
He is now selected by a game called [Absurd Deduction] and is already a prospective player.

In this real, weird and absurd game, players are called deducers, and they need to find answers, truths, and try to survive in game events.

The surviving deducers will get various deduction points according to the game scores, and can exchange everything they want in the mall in the persona.

Including wealth, power, health, beauty, and everything else... born from the desires of the heart.

The world of the game is attached to and independent of reality. All order and science in the real world will be distorted and invalidated in this fragmented game world, forming new disordered rules. The deducers call the game world——【Absurd】 .

Yu Xing glanced at Zhao Yijiu beside him, and found that the other party seemed to be still digesting the information, and stabilized his trembling body.

He started to get cold.

His body is a curse on him, so he has to compromise and weaken himself from time to time, otherwise, the more high-profile it is, the more likely it is to put himself in danger.

Gee, so annoying.

Yu Xing's face remained unchanged, and his attention returned to the information in his head.

There are two steps to becoming an official gamer.

He has just completed the first step, which is this simple deduction test. This is a test of [absurd] basic qualities such as intelligence, logic, reflexes, and courage. People who are not qualified... Zhang Shuya is an example.

In terms of the need for gamification, he has already obtained the game invitation code.

However, some operations are required to activate the invitation code to enter the game.

This activation operation is the last thing [Personality Mask] wrote to evaluate the game.

The evaluation game is single player.

This is good news for Yu Xing, the single player game means he can be a little more casual.

"Do you understand? You have to participate in a game within three days, if you don't..." Assistant Hao watched with a smile, until the two newcomers understood, he approached sullenly, "I will die. Oh!"

Zhao Yijiu looked at him coldly: "If you weren't so naive, you would still be that amiable fat man."

Assistant Hao belongs to the role of novice guide. Although he is a ghost, he will not do anything to them. Zhao Yijiu is well aware of this.

So this boring little fright is unnecessary. If Yu Xing... Yu Xing stopped pretending, he would still be a little unaccustomed to it.

The amiable fat ghost suddenly wilted, this newcomer is not fun!
He sighed: "Okay, okay, just know the rules yourself. Since you are not official gamers, the injuries you suffered in this test have no treatment benefits."

"By the way, in this test, there are three ways to survive. First, follow my initial prompt to replace the battery for four hours. Second, poke your eyes out, so that no matter whether the camera is powered or not, The ghosts will never hurt you again. The third, and the most difficult one, is your way of clearing the customs, killing ghosts."

"When you live to become the official gamers, you will be rewarded for this performance."

"That's all I said, you can go back too."

After speaking, Assistant Hao came in high spirits and walked away with no interest, turning into a cloud of blood that could not be seen clearly, and disappeared into the air.

　About Yu Xing's purpose and his physical condition, I will write it slowly later.

　　Thank you bosses for the rewards!A reminder that the id of a reader on the fan list should not be so arrogant (manually raise a kitchen knife)
