absurd deduction game.

Chapter 173 Alice Hell (6) - Fifth Floor Corridor
Although this road is a bit long and has several small forks, the direction of the main corridor is very clear.

It's not difficult for Yu Xing and the gambler to come here all the way. Other players who just left the house later can naturally come too, and it won't be too long.

Just like now.

As soon as the two of them left the bathroom, they heard a few familiar voices.

"Here it is, did the crying person go into the bathroom or go to another fork, or another floor?"

"You can go in and have a look."

The one who asked the question was a defiant female voice, and the one who answered was a plain male voice.

Sure enough, Yu Xing took two steps forward and saw Huang Bai and Huai outside the door.

The four of them had a face-to-face meeting, which was as expected.

Huai looked at the gambler, and said meaningfully: "I was looking for you just now, and I guessed that you left first. I didn't expect that you really brought this half-new man with you."

"Fortunately, at least it didn't hold you back, so you don't have to worry about it." The gambler replied with blank, curious and watching eyes, and then said, "There are no crying people in the bathroom, but there is a little abnormality. You can go and have a look."

"Thank you for reminding me." Huai replied in a nonchalant manner, passed the two of them, and walked towards the bathroom.

"Goodbye, by the way, others are coming too, be careful of the fall line~" Huang Bai waved at the two of them, blinked, and followed into the bathroom.

At the same time, Yu Xing really heard the voices of other people speaking in the distance.

Either the fork in front of the road is not long, and people find out the details soon after entering, or everyone wants to finish walking along the main road first. In short, according to the sound, people who come later will meet them soon up.

However, the structure of the castle is still unclear, and the status of each floor is unclear. There are only two ghosts corresponding to the eight players. Many uncertain factors make him not want to go with too many people now.

Yu Xing calculated that there was still a while before dinner time, enough for him and the gambler to open another map.

"Senior Gambler, shall we go up or down?"

At the end of another fork outside the bathroom is a staircase, which lead to the second floor and the fifth floor respectively. Normally, the deducer would not directly choose the fifth floor to be on the safe side. Everyone has an inherent concept in mind, a terrifying and closed environment In , the farther away from the initial location, the higher the risk.

However, the gambler did not take the usual route. He glanced at Yu Xing and pointed upwards: "Come on, let's go up to the fifth floor and have a look."

Yu Xing had no objection, and still followed behind the gambler, dutifully playing the role of Xiaomengxin who had no idea.

The staircase was very long and folding, a bit like the structure of corridors in reality. After climbing four twelve-step stairs, they stepped onto the ground of the fifth floor.

"...It's kind of dark." Yu Xing said and stepped back behind the gambler.

The wall on the fifth floor is a very old color, which cannot be described. It seems that ordinary red is stained with strange dirt that cannot be erased, thus showing a strange effect.

After going up the stairs, there are three corridors with different orientations, which are opened to the left, right, and front respectively. No matter which one is lit, it is dark and can only be illuminated by the wall lamp in the stairs.

"what is that!"

Suddenly, Yu Xing faintly saw something standing in the middle of several corridors, which was very tall and seemed to be in human shape.

The gambler squinted his eyes and his muscles tensed up. He had just seen the huge corpse researcher on the viewing platform, and he was so impressed that he couldn't help but think about it when he saw the big thing.

After a few seconds, the gambler said, "...it seems like it won't move."

Yu Xing also observed for a while before confirming that the fuzzy shadow blocking the middle of the road was not a living thing, but a decorative armor.

But when the shape of the ghost is uncertain, the armor is not necessarily just armor.

"No... our night vision is not that strong. This environment is too dangerous. If there is any ghost in it, it will be difficult for us to find it." The gambler's tone was a little dissatisfied. It doesn’t deserve it, otherwise I would definitely bring it out.”

Yu Xing remembered his candle tears, which was a candlestick after all.

But... if it ignites, no matter if it is a red candle or a white candle, it will trigger the ability, which is not easy to control.

He suggested: "Since there are no tools such as flashlights in our room, it means that we need to find them ourselves, and there may be ones nearby. Let's look for it. If we can find it, we will continue walking. If we can't find it, we will go to the second place." floor to explore."

"Okay, let's find it."

Within the reach of the staircase wall lamp, there are several large cabinets and tables quietly standing in the corner.

Yu Xing then walked to a cabinet and opened the drawer from bottom to top.

The drawers are full of useless things, or they are empty, and the gambler has nothing to gain, so he starts to chat with him while searching.

"Oh, fortunately, you are from the alienation line."

With no one else around, it's okay for a gambler to ask this question.

"How do you know?" Yu Xing did not deny it.

The gambler was leaning over to touch the top of a two-meter-high cabinet, but he didn't find anything, but instead dropped a hand of ashes: "Actually, I've heard of you, but I didn't remember it at first, but after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I have an impression."

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, changed the table and searched: "Is it the rookie competition?"

The only way for him to let differentiation-level players know is the live broadcast, or through Zhao Mou's mouth, obviously the former is more likely.

"Yeah~ I didn't watch it at the time, but someone from our guild went, Ren Yi, you know, my good buddy, he said you did a good job." The gambler laughed, "My buddy is very quiet. , being able to praise others shows that you are really good."

Renyi?

Yu Xing has been busy with real-life cases recently, so he really doesn't pay much attention to the differentiated circles. The star actors say more and less, and it must be difficult for him to have an impression of each of them.

He just smiled: "I thought that most people who watched the live broadcast would think that I would be a fallen line."

"You're making a mistake here. People on the right path can judge people accurately. Whether they are depraved or not can be seen from small details. And...Ren Yi told me that the witch Qu Lianqing was also there at that time, she said You can never be a fall line."

When the gambler mentioned Qu Yanqing, he obviously had a hint of indescribable words: "Are you related to her? She seems to know you very well and protects you. Our research institute has been studying her for a long time. This is the first time I see her." until she treats others well."

"You...you study her?" Yu Xing touched a brass lock on the table, and didn't know what it was for. He choked on this sensitive word for him, "How to study?"

"Don't get me wrong, we only have videos of her existence in the video area, and study her like a boss in the deduction, such as how to deal with her, how to escape and how to kill her." It was torn off, revealing a head of brown hair that was neither long nor short. He scratched his head and explained, "She has a bad reputation. Although she is not a fall line, she is even crueler than a fall line. I can't figure it out. The absurd world What is the basis for assigning her to the alienation line."

"Anyway, people from the research institute have summed up a guide for "How to Survive Angry Qu Yanqing", and it's selling pretty well..."

Yu Xing: "..."

He knew that Qu Yanqing was cruel to others, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel.

As for why Qu Lianqing is not a fallen line—in fact, he probably knows the answer, because there are people in this world who support the kindness in Qu Lianqing's heart.

Well, he was talking about himself.

As long as he is alive, Qu Yanqing will not become a depraved person without a bottom line. Even if there is no him, there will be Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan is also an existence with a different meaning to Qu Yanqing.

But facing the gambler, he just said: "I know Qu Lianqing, she is a very responsible senior and taught me a lot."

The gambler's eyes stared under the mask, and the corners of his eyes twitched faintly.

……senior?
...responsible? ?
Are these talking about the same person? ?

"Then she may have finally realized that the lone wolf is at a great disadvantage in many cases, so she is ready to cultivate trusted teammates..." The gambler frowned, "It's a pity, Ren Yi said that you have great potential, I still want to Let’s establish a good relationship with you and introduce you to my other brother’s guild. Now it seems that... will the witch retaliate against you for robbing people. Or, I’ll take a gamble?”

Yu Xing was very interested: "Bet whether she will retaliate against you?"

The gambler snorted, "I bet on whether I can survive her hand."

What a good mood.

However, since the subject of the guild was mentioned, Yu Xing happened to be thinking about joining a guild, so he took the opportunity to ask, "I remember that the number one guild is called Midnight, how about this guild?"

The guild is really important. For example, when entering a deduction now, the Righteous Path line is less than the Alienation Line and the Fallen Line. It’s not because the Righteous Path line itself has fewer people, but because the Righteous Path line people like to form teams to play games. When there are more people in the team, the chances of players from other lines running into them are less.

And the way they form a team is through the guild.The research institute is a guild with high requirements. It not only accepts the righteous path, but also needs to assess the ability. Only those who can carry out intelligence collection and strategy deployment can finally stay.

In addition to the research institute, there are many guilds with mixed members of various types, so you can get the best team that can cooperate with each other during the deduction.

"Late at night? Oh, the first guild, of course awesome, if you are valued, it can get you any resources." The gambler first boasted, and Yu Xing was waiting for a turning point.

Sure enough, a turning point came in the next second: "But you should also expect that the resource allocation of the Grand Guild is very strict. Maybe you worked hard to get a sacrifice, and you have to hand it in after the deduction, and the guild paid only It's just points."

The gambler patted the ashes on his hands and sneered: "Also, Medusa, the president of the late night, is not a good person. People who offend her usually disappear after a while. By the way, she especially likes good-looking people." Man, if you have acquainted yourself with it, you will know that in the middle of the night, the high-level executives are all handsome men or beauties...Anyway, the water is very deep, and there are pros and cons."

"Oh." Yu Xing's interest in late night was more than half extinguished.

"Don't believe me, if I hadn't had the foresight to join the research institute, I might have been snatched away by Medusa! Hey, life..."

In Yu Xing's ears, the gambler's tone gradually became wild about being overwhelmed.

He chose to ignore the gambler's boast: "What level is Medusa? Compared with Qu Lianqing——"

The gambler thought about it and said, "Medusa is at the level of despair, just like our president, the actor of the single prism, and those monsters in the survivor investigation team. Among the top guilds, there are almost one to three Despair level, but Qu Lianqing... She is mourning level, and it is rumored that she is just a step away from the despair level, but after all, she has not been promoted yet, and she will face Medusa..."

"Hey, they have different styles. Qu Yanqing's own strength is too terrifying, while Medusa knows how to take advantage of the situation. In terms of overall strength, Qu Yanqing will definitely suffer."

Yu Xing nodded, regardless of whether the gamblers saw his movements in the dark.

As for the gambler, he at least knows one thing.

In the current absurd deduction game, there seems to be no real-level deducer.

The major guilds regard the despair level as the upper limit of their combat power. Even a guy like actor who has lived for so long has not been able to advance to the real level. It is a bit strange... How strict are the requirements for promotion to the real level?
"Speaking of which, don't even think about it. If Qu Lianqing really trains you as a teammate, then you have no choice at all. Oh, by the way, you don't know my name yet, my name is Zeng Lai." The gambler closed the drawer and stood In front of Yu Xing, he stretched out a dusty hand, "You don't need to tell me your real name, or you can tell me, the deduction system is very perfect in terms of member protection, and killing other deducers in reality requires a price Yes, and there is no ability to restrict the player from entering the absurd world, and it is impossible to be trapped."

"I see." Yu Xing reached out to shake Zeng Lai's hand, then rubbed the ashes on his pants nonchalantly, then turned around and continued to search in the cabinet.

This was already the fifth cabinet he had found, and it was located a little deep into the corridor, only more than two meters away from the armor decoration in the middle of the corridor.If there is still no gain, he intends to give up and find lighting tools elsewhere.

Maybe this is the method used by Alice Castle to restrict the players.

While searching, Yu Xing said, "I also have the word Xing in my name, so if you call me Xing..."

"Understood, Xiao Xing!" Although Yu Xing didn't say his real name, Zeng Lai changed his address very familiarly, and Yu Xing could tell that Zeng Lai's attitude towards him was similar to wooing him.

Perhaps this is also an expression of goodwill towards Qu Yanqing, the "backer behind him".

Well, this is already the number of times Yu Xing has benefited from Qu Yanqing's name.

It's so good, it's so good to eat soft rice.

Zeng Lai was just about to chat with Yu Xing for a while, when Yu Xing gave up.

"What's wrong bro?"

Yu Xing took out a palm-sized wooden box from the drawer with a strange expression.
