absurd deduction game

Chapter 14 Schrödinger's Deduction
The red light flickered, and half of Yu Xing's arm was reflected red. He turned his eyes and saw a large opening in the abdomen of the corpse on the iron bed by the candlelight.

The long bloody mouth was hastily sewn up with needles and thread, and the wound was ferocious.

"This is also..." Yu Xing moved to the other corpses and looked around, ignoring the horrific gazes of those corpses following his direction, "This also... daring to carve the corpses means that the group is here to cut the belly. "

Thankfully, the corpses couldn't move, or else the poor man would have to be beaten to death.

Recalling the words on the note, Yu Xing knew that the bedroom key must have been sewn into the stomach of one of the corpses.

One in 23 chance?

Thinking about this, Yu Xing began to observe whether these corpses had any special marks.

If not, it means that he has a high probability of severing the wounds of each corpse and looking for it slowly. If there is, he needs to pay attention to it and cannot choose the wrong one, otherwise an accident is likely to occur.

This is not clearly stated on the note, and Yu Xing needs to pay attention to it.

He has heard from some people that the game fatality rate is relatively low in the assessment of the persona, which is only about 30%. Many puzzles can be solved in more than one way, mainly because the system will determine the player's personality tendency through the player's choice.

For example, in the water tank, if you don't get the key in the microwave oven... If you have the strength to break it open, you can get follow-up clues.

And just when Yu Xing was watching intently, a footstep walked past him.

As soon as Yu Xing looked up, he only saw a red candle flashing by.

"Can it move?" He turned his head and counted the number of red candles in the hall. There were still 23 candles, and the positions were correct.

"So the extra one just now...is the killer."

This is surprising.

Is the killer who can only smell the note and see no one finally show up?

"Dong dong."

Suddenly, the iron bed in front of him rang twice.

"Dong dong dong."

The sound was very rhythmic, like someone was tapping.

Yu Xing followed the bed board and turned his eyes to the bottom of the bed...

There is no one.

Only a small half-extinguished candle lay there quietly.

"It's another way to create psychological fear..." Yu Xing stared at the candle calmly for a while, then narrowed his eyes after a while.

Kind of weird...he felt his stomach itching.

Moreover, there seems to be something in the stomach that is holding back, which is not very comfortable.

"Oh." He lifted the hem of his shirt, and sure enough, an extremely unprofessional wound had appeared on his abdomen.

Not yet...it doesn't hurt.

He reached out and touched it, and the completely different touch of the thread and the skin made his eyes flash with thoughts.

"Catch the doctor and don't kill it directly. If you insist on letting the doctor play such a game with him, the killer's purpose should not only be revenge."

"He kept trying to frighten doctors."

"For example, the key is sewn into the human body, but the killer does not stipulate whether it is sewn into the corpse or the living body. At this time, there are suture marks on my stomach, doesn't it imply that the key is in my own body?"

"Want me to do self-harm?" Yu Xing sneered, "Too naive."

From the sensory point of view, he can be sure that he does have a key in his stomach now, and he can take it out whenever he wants.

And he doesn't shy away from getting hurt.

But... he just didn't want to do what the killer wanted.

In the deduction game, players are already at a disadvantage, and injuries such as forced "plot kills" do not exist. There must be a way to pass this puzzle without injury.

He ignored the obvious scar on his abdomen, and used a scalpel to pierce the line on the abdomen of the corpse in front of him.

"Cheating the corpse?" Yu Xing took a step back and watched the corpse's movements with interest.

The body trembled, and the candle was shaken off, leaving two drops of hot red wax on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the corpse turned over, fell to the floor with a muffled sound, and climbed towards Yu Xing in a pose like the classic Gaya in Japanese horror films.

"Ah, don't be angry, or you lie down and I'll sew it back for you. I should look better than that person." Yu Xing asked tentatively.

Of course the corpse ignored him.

Due to the corpse, its limbs and joints are very difficult to bend. Although it creates a full sense of terror, it also makes its crawling speed very touching. Yu Xing feels that he can walk backwards faster than it.

"Tsk... It seems that the key is not on this corpse, well, is this the punishment for choosing the wrong one?"

Looking at the thing crawling towards him, Yu Xing thought as he moved: Then we can't test one by one, one is fine, if we are unlucky and get 22 wrong in a row, there will be a walking dead in this place.

I don't know what the attack power of the corpse is, and whether it can "physically exorcise ghosts", Yu Xing thought about giving it a try.

"Da da da……"

A burst of footsteps passed by him again, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. When passing by, he seemed to blow cold air at Yu Xing's neck.

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows: Is the killer provoking?

He gave up the idea of ​​teasing the corpse and glanced at another place.

He remembered that there is another place in the human body.

This is also a scoring question.

……

Two minutes later, the power supply system returned to normal, and the lighting equipment in the hall, kitchen, toilet, and dissection room were turned on again, enveloping the entire building in a "peaceful" atmosphere.

Yu Xing looked at the frozen heart that was cut in half in his hand, and the golden key in the center of the heart.

The refrigerator door was wide open, and the freezer was pulled out. On the chopping board lay the pitiful large intestine chopped into several pieces by a kitchen knife. Yu Xing rolled up his sleeves and put his heart back into the freezer, leaving only the golden key in his hand.

He just thought that there are "human bodies" in the autopsy room and the refrigerator, and the keys can also be placed in these two places.

There were too many jars in the autopsy room, and there was a corpse chasing after him, which was inconvenient, so he came to the kitchen first.

Since the corpses outside had wounds in their abdomens, he destroyed the large intestine first, and cut the heart before finding the key.

really……

You don't need to be chased by more than 20 corpses, you don't need to perform seppuku skills, and you can pass the level without injury, it just depends on whether the player can think of it.

The moment he saw the golden key, the power supply system was restored, and at the same time, the scars on his body and the feeling of strange things in his stomach also disappeared, as if they had never existed.

This is a technique that can be used in some deduction games. Someone mentioned it to him twice, saying that this technique was inspired by "Schrödinger's cat".

- If he took the key from his stomach, there must be no key in his heart.

If he knew in his heart that there was a key in his stomach but didn't take it, then this was just a "possible", and he could cover it up with hallucinations and many other arguments, and there would be a chance that there would be a key in his heart.

Leave space for the system to play, and the system will help the player survive with a certain probability according to the purpose of the game. This probability is infinitely magnified in the persona evaluation game, because the focus of this game is evaluation rather than survival.

Yu Xing took the key and walked out of the kitchen. After the lights were turned on, the hall outside became the same as the beginning. There were no corpses, no candles, and even the poor little one who was crawling on the ground was gone.

He walked to the locked door, passed the autopsy room halfway, and went in to check the time.

Countdown [2:21:07].

Plenty of time.

The bedroom is on the left side of the hall, with the door built into the wall and locked by a large lock.

Yu Xing looked at it carefully, the dark brown wooden door was thick and deep, and there was a faint coldness of resistance.

He opened the door with the key, pushed open a crack—

In the crack of the door, a man about his height was sticking to the corner of the wall, staring at him without blinking!
"Yo, you are—" Before Yu Xing's polite words were finished, the figure disappeared without a sound, so that when Yu Xing recalled the appearance of the figure, he only felt that the other person's face was blurred, and he couldn't remember any specific image.

"Oops~ I hate it, I'm tying people to my house, so I'm quite shy." Yu Xing seemed to shyly slapped his skin, but in fact, he stretched his legs and used a bit of skill to push the door open, and clenched the scalpel in his right hand.

In case there is a door open to kill——

Well, not opening the door to kill.

Unexpectedly, the scene in the bedroom has a completely different decoration style from other places. The walls are white, the decorations are in simple metallic colors, there are small objects with a sense of design everywhere, and there are green plants in the corners.

The most outrageous thing is that there is also a large window in the room, which is covered by light green curtains, and there is a faint light that belongs to the sun.

The figure has disappeared.

Yu Xing turned back and closed the door, then walked to the window, opened the curtains, and observed the window frame for the first time.

He reached out and pushed it, but he didn't. The window seemed to be welded.

After confirming that the figure did not leave from here, Yu Xing raised his head and looked out the window.

There is really a view outside.

It seems that it is noon for a while. On the street outside the window, pedestrians are dressed in different clothes, walking in a hurry. The shops on both sides of the street sell everything. Clothing stores and gift shops are actually relatively high-end places.

However, this window blocked all the sounds belonging to the outside world, and the house was still silent.

Yu Xing immediately noticed something was wrong. He stood by the window and looked out, and the scene he saw was actually a bird's-eye view.

He estimated in his heart... The place where the killer is located is at least five floors up!
"The logic is wrong. It's acceptable to say that this kind of place is suburban or underground, but it's unlikely to be in the upper floors." Yu Xing lowered his head and pondered, the existence of this bedroom and this window made the originally closed environment suddenly have a new dimension. The passage, combined with the previous speculation about the killer's character and psychological state, an idea popped up.

"If that's the case, it's a bit interesting." Yu Xing raised the corner of his mouth, left the window, and began to seriously look at the layout of the bedroom.

The bed is neat, the wardrobe is against the wall, and there is a bookshelf next to it, with hundreds of blurry books on it.

Yu Xing opened the wardrobe and took a look, it was empty.

"It doesn't seem to leave me with too obvious clues... But it doesn't matter, the absence of clues is also a kind of proof, I should be right."

He was not disappointed at all, and walked to the desk again, where there was a thick book with a textured cover, which was very comfortable to touch.

After opening it, Yu Xing found that it was a diary, a diary with no date written from beginning to end.

[I just built this place today, my morgue!my secret garden!No one could disturb me, and I shivered with excitement at the thought of the days to come. 】
