absurd deduction game.

Chapter 174 Alice Hell (7) - Fat Chef
In the darkness, two men wearing smiling masks were staring at a small wooden box together. They were very close, speechless for a while, like a pantomime suddenly pressing the pause button. This scene is ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

Yu Xing also did not expect that he had given up any hope of finding lighting tools, but suddenly another village was revealed, and he found an unexpected object in the last cabinet.

He held the small wooden box, looked at it for a while with almost no light, and scratched on the box with his fingers.

There is no pattern on the small wooden box, it is bare, if it is not in the wrong place, it is hard to notice.

A lock was hung on the box, and it was in a locked state. Yu Xing found that there was no matching key in the drawer of the small wooden box.

Zeng Lai's head got closer and closer, and it almost stuck to the box. He asked, "What is this?"

Weighing the weight with his hands, there was a slight collision sound in the box, and Yu Xing shook his head: "I don't know, why don't you try breaking it open?"

Zeng Lai: "Good guy, fuck him!"

Yu Xing pinched the two walls of the small box with his fingers, and felt that the hardness of the box was average, and he could crush it with his grip strength beyond ordinary people.

However, just after he really tried his best, there was a dim light on the box, and a deduction reminder sounded.

[It seems that a special mark has been left on the box, which cannot be opened or destroyed without a key. 】

[Somewhere, you have a feeling that the key seems to be at the end of this corridor. 】

"This is the prop box." Yu Xing was a little convinced when he saw the deduction prompt, and even gave the key prompt, indicating that the deduction system wanted them to open it.

It's a pity that they didn't find the lighting tools in the end, and they couldn't go deep into the corridor to get the key immediately.

He told Zeng Lai the hint, and Zeng Lai nodded: "Well, then at least we have a goal now, how about this, let's take the box back to the room and hide it, although it is not sure that it must be a prop, at least it will be a prop. Powerful things that cannot be snatched away by the fallen."

"I think so too." Yu Xing smiled slightly, the unexpected harvest put him in a good mood.

Tick.

Suddenly, a drop of water fell on Yu Xing's feet and broke into countless pieces.

His hearing was already sensitive, but it was strengthened by the system after he was promoted. Even such a small sound could not escape his ears.

Naturally, Zeng Lai heard it too, and he asked softly, "Why is water dripping here?"

As soon as the words fell, another drop of water wiped Yu Xing's mask and landed on his clothes. Yu Xing's eyes lit up with interest, and he looked up.

Before, they were so busy looking at the corridors and the walls that they forgot to look at the top of their heads.

In a dim environment, the ceiling is really a place that is easily overlooked. Just as Yu Xing raised his head at this moment, another drop of water dripped straight into the eye hole of his mask. He seemed to have sensed it, and took a step back to avoid it. .

At the same time, he managed to see clearly the scene on the ceiling.

The ceiling, which seemed to have been soaked by time, was covered with heavy marks, and in the center, there was actually a bloody circle with a diameter of more than one meter drawn on it!
The blood formation looks weird, with clear and complete lines. Just one glance reminds Yu Xing of some kind of demon culture in Europe. It looks like a summoning formation, and it seems to be about to sacrifice something. Make him squint.

The blood array should have dried up, but it became moist in just half a minute when Yu Xing stood directly below, and the bloody lines in it seemed to be wriggling and slowly coming to life.

What dripped down just now was not water, but blood!

[You discovered the "Abyssal Blood Formation". Since the formation has not been activated, the ghost notice will not be updated]

[Reminder, the abyssal blood formation is waking up, please stay away as soon as possible]

"My day, let's go quickly." Zeng Lai pulled Yu Xing, "According to my experience, this should be a sensory ghost formation. If no one is nearby, it will not be triggered. We stand within its sensing range Already! Or, it is guarding the box, and it wakes up when we take the box, anyway..."

"Oh." Yu Xing didn't need him to pull. Hearing what Zeng Lai said, he immediately ran to the stairs, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, running faster than a rabbit.

Zeng Lai: "..." Good guy!

He closed his mouth and chased after Yu Xing, and the two quickly returned to the fork on the third floor.

After they left, the blood that had already shown signs of melting dried up again, and the blood formation squirmed for a while, and finally fell silent.

……

"You run pretty fast, and you used points to strengthen your physique... did you..."

Zeng Lai finally caught up with Yu Xing, and wanted to sigh, when he saw Yu Xing put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.

This tiredness is too realistic, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person who has strengthened the system. If the panting sound is louder, Zeng Lai will suspect that this person will soon be out of breath and pass out.

He scratched his hair, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "Just pretend I didn't say it."

This physique is weaker than ordinary people. Is it because he is sick in reality?

No offense meant, he was referring to physical ailments like heart disease or cancer.

Both of these can be treated with points, but many players exchange points for props as soon as they are promoted to the differentiation level, to comfort their young hearts who have stumbled and narrowly escaped death.

Maybe luck is the same, so there is no time for treatment?Terminal illnesses and incurable diseases require a lot of points, so it's delayed... Zeng Lai thought.

Yu Xing had no idea that Zeng Lai had guessed a lot of twists and turns in his mind. He just wanted to run out of the range of the blood formation, so as not to be injured and expose his ability.

His current speed is not bad, and his explosive power is sufficient, but his physical strength is completely unable to keep up. He has to rest for a while after running, otherwise he will feel dizzy and stuffy.After this deduction is over, his wish list conditions will be collected, and his actions will be much more convenient after that.

Panting for a while under Zeng Lai's undisguised concern for the disabled, Yu Xing straightened up and walked along the corridor with Zeng Lai to the fork in the main corridor.

There was a ring on the small wooden box, and he was carrying it at this moment, and the things inside made a dull sound.

The two stayed on the fifth floor for more than ten minutes. At this time, Huai and Huang Bai came out after checking the bathroom, while the remaining four players were missing.

Zeng Lai glanced back at Huai and Huang Bai who came out of the other side of the fork, and whispered to Yu Xing, "Go back to the room first and hide the box."

"Hiding in my room?" Yu Xing's eyes flickered with amusement. He thought that Zeng Lai would say that it was not safe for him to keep such an important thing, so he would keep it for him.

After all, the two of them found the box together, and it didn't belong to him alone. If Zeng Lai wanted to take it away, he would have a good reason.

"Just let you go. I'm afraid that if you let me go, I'll be gone again. That kid Ren Yi scolds me every day because I'm not calm enough." Zeng Lai curled his lips a little depressed, and then realized the expression under the mask. No, couldn't feel his complaints, and restrained himself boringly.

The two muttered to each other, walking quickly, Huai behind only vaguely saw something in their hands, and was blocked by the curved wall.

"Huai~ They seem to have found something good." Huang Bai hopped to the side of Huai with his hands behind his back, "Do you want to negotiate? I heard that the gambler has a good reputation and a good character, so he should be trustworthy." ? We can discuss and exchange information with them!"

Huai felt a little headache for this overly lively girl: "I have considered what you said, needless to say it so loudly, if someone who cares can hear it..."

"I was wrong~" Huai obediently admitted his mistake before he finished educating Huang Bai, causing Huai to get stuck in the second half of the sentence.

It was the first time he saw Huang Bai, and what is certain is that this woman definitely has two brushes, and she is not harmless to humans and animals on the surface.

But so far she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, and she has no objection to his command. From the perspective of "teammates", she is undoubtedly qualified.

Thinking of this, Huai stopped talking, and just said: "...Okay, let's see if we can get in touch with them during dinner. Based on what I know about gamblers, he and Xing should go to the fifth floor. It’s coming down so soon, it’s very likely that there’s an obstacle on the fifth floor, and we won’t be able to check far, so let’s go to the second floor to check now.”

……

The dinner time is 06:30. Yu Xing and the others went back and forth. It was at least five o’clock when they reached the viewing platform. The open-air kitchen on the second floor was brightly lit, covering up the light of the viewing platform. few.

After the two realized that neither Huai and Huangbai nor the things in the blood array on the fifth floor could keep up, they slowed down a lot, and they still had the leisure to step on the crystal viewing platform toward look down.

From their vantage point, they can see the whole picture of the kitchen.

The style of the kitchen is the steampunk style that Yu Xing is familiar with. The main color is red and white. The refrigerator, stove, stew pot, pot for ingredients, knife holder, spice rack, in short, everything that can be seen in the kitchen, here None.

Sure enough, Alice still likes this style, very kind.

Two fat humans in white chef uniforms were stirring a pot of thick soup with giant spoons. The gears on the pot were spinning rapidly. The soup was steaming hot, and a scent wafted straight into the noses of Yu Xing and Zeng Lai.

There is also a chef of the same size who is holding a plate of vegetables in his fleshy hands and walking towards the cutting board with his meaty legs.

"Fuck, what the hell is this chef?"

Zeng Lai was not fooled by the smell, he looked at the chefs whose bodies were covered with fat, and lowered his voice to ask questions.

Because chefs are so unnatural.

The tall hats were worn on the heads of the chefs, which were one size larger than ordinary humans. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to enjoy the cooking process, smiling happily, and the slits in their eyes almost disappeared.

This is the first expressive castle employee that Yu Xing has seen so far, but just looking at their appearance, they are not as normal as the nun guide and the old housekeeper.

In the steaming room, a range hood was working, with a unique mechanical sound, rumbling, rumbling, and the movement was quite loud, making the kitchen lively.

The smoke weakened slightly, and Yu Xing saw the faces of the chefs clearly, and found that the three of them looked exactly the same, and the kitchen was very close to the viewing platform. He could deduce that these chefs were probably a little shorter than ordinary men, but The horizontal area is huge, and the meat is piled up with meat, definitely more than three hundred catties, and the whole person is in an extremely deformed state.

The chefs didn't look up, and didn't find the two tourists who were watching the excitement on the crystal, they were just cooking happily.They didn't talk to each other, but they cooperated tacitly and cooked efficiently. Zeng Lai was a little shocked: "They are like the fat guests in Spirited Away."

Yu Xing was silent for a while, and corrected: "It's more like the chef in a little nightmare."

Little Nightmare is a horror game released in reality, and it was once very famous. Yu Xing bought it and played it, and the game experience was okay, so the memory is still fresh.

In his opinion, the three chefs in Alice Castle are eighty percent similar in appearance to the chefs in that game, and they look like monsters.

"Can we eat the food they cook? We won't become like them after eating it." Zeng Lai felt a chill, but he didn't have the pretensions of a star performer at all, so he patted Yu Xing on the shoulder, " Don’t horror movies always have this kind of routine, the more you eat, the more hungry you become, the more hungry you eat, and finally become a livestock or monster that only knows how to eat, tsk, will you eat dinner later?”

"Look at the ingredients they use, it can be seen that they are fresh and normal vegetables, and the meat placed over there—" Yu Xing pointed to the meat shelf on the other side, and he could see the freshly slaughtered beef, sheep, pigs, meat The origins are open and transparent.

The ingredients are very healthy, at least you don't have to worry about eating something that humans can't eat.

He glanced at Zeng Lai: "Senior, you should know the answer to the question you asked, right?"

"Hey, I wanted to test your level, but you saw through it." Zeng Lai shrugged, "Yes, the food should be edible, because the main theme of this deduction is not greed and gluttony. food, otherwise the kitchen wouldn’t be in front of us.”

After watching the fat chefs cooking for a while, Yu Xing lost interest, so he dragged Zeng Lai back to the room.

The room Alice assigned to them had handles inside and out, and could be turned and locked from the inside, but had no key.That is, anyone can enter someone else's room when no one is in the room.

Thinking about it, I don't feel safe at all.

Zeng Lai first followed Yu Xing into Yu Xing's bedroom, watched Yu Xing put the box on the bottom of the bookshelf in the room, covered it with a book, and then turned his head to look at the time.

At five forty-eight, time passed a little faster than they could perceive.

"We still have four or ten minutes to eat. Shall we go to the first floor again?" Yu Xing asked.

There are four stairs in the lobby on the first floor, and they only walked through one, so go ahead, maybe they can get a general idea of ​​where the other three roads lead.

"Okay, I'll go after a five-minute break." Zeng Lai said, "I'm going back to my room, and I'll call you in five minutes."

Yu Xing nodded and replied, "Okay."

Zeng Lai went out and closed the door for him. Immediately, Yu Xing was the only one left in the bedroom.

He took off the mask and let out a long sigh of relief, sighing again that the mask was stuffy.

The dagger at the waist moved at this time, and Yiqing, who had been watching all the way, appeared to float in the air, mocking politely: "Weak and sick, too weak."

"...will be fine soon." Yu Xing glanced at him, feeling that Yiqing, who had seen several ghosts and the chef of the castle, was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Can you do me a favor?"

Yiqing shook the fan smartly: "What's the matter?"

Yu Xing raised the small wooden box that was locked in his hand: "Can you use the smoke to help me quietly put the box in Zeng Lai's room?"
