absurd deduction game

Chapter 22 Appetite
The candle was brought all the way to the table by the woman, and the white light was faint, making the dishes with beautiful colors dull.

The words of the village chief can be said to have exploded in the hearts of several people.

"In the coffin? You mean... Zhou Yongsheng is dead?" Ju Lan asked tremblingly.

"Hey, when did you die? Did you make a mistake, village chief, I was in contact with him a few days ago." Carlos was not too surprised, his blue eyes flashed a test.

The village chief looked surprised: "Is there a connection? Then I don't know. There was a heavy rain in this area a few days ago. Xiaosheng, he was playing in the mountains with his friends and was accidentally buried in the mountains. It took a lot of effort to dig him out."

He said it with certainty, that is to say, at least all the news they received recently from Zhou Yongsheng were sent by dead people.

Yu Xing listened, his eyes swept across the fish on the plate, the aroma of braised fish floated into his nose, arousing his appetite.

At present, Zhou Yongsheng is not an NPC who promotes the plot, but a ghost.

So he lied that he was a fan, and what was the purpose of deceiving him here?
Also, Ju Lan said that her "boyfriend" and Zhou Yongsheng are classmates, then Zhou Yongsheng is definitely dead, what about her boyfriend?
Licking his lips, Yu Xing felt extremely regretful, his pale face showed a little sadness and a hint of sympathy:
"Zhou Yongsheng is not bad, he's quite cheerful. I didn't expect to encounter an accident this year. I think, since I met him, I should come and see him off."

Following the village chief's words, he subtly changed his intentions. Since so many people are connected to Zhou Yongsheng, and the clues all point to this person, he believes that the main mission should also be related to this.

It's time to wrap up the main quest.

"It's great that Xiaosheng has friends like you. He even came to attend his funeral. I think he will be very happy to see you in the coffin." He is clean and polite, and speaks nicely.

"Well, then I... how is the friend who went up the mountain with Zhou Yongsheng now?" Ju Lan's eyes widened.

"Those young people... they have all been found and dug up, but they are not handsome. When they were dug out, many parts of their bodies were rotted away. They didn't look good, they didn't look good." The village chief shook his head. .

Ju Lan's face changed.

"Little girl, don't be sorry, it's a good thing that you didn't come with them, otherwise, now you're rotten too, and you won't look good if you're rotten." The woman smiled, her face shrouded in a trembling dim light.

Her words made everyone lose their interest in eating. I don't know if it was because of the content of the words or the strange expression on the village chief's face when he talked with the woman about the dead man.

Even if Ju Lan, Wei Fan, and Xu Hong didn't follow to the kitchen, they were completely aware that something was wrong. The logic of the village chief and his wife was not like normal people at all.

Is it just these two, or is it the whole village?

The food in my hand suddenly tasted bad.

"Eat it, it's cold if you don't eat it." The village chief greeted him in a hurry when he saw that everyone didn't move their chopsticks.

This meal cannot be eaten, in case any death condition is triggered after eating it...

The few people who entered the kitchen thought so, and quietly exchanged glances with other people who didn't know it, secretly preventing them from eating this unexplained meal.

Just then, a pair of chopsticks stretched out in front of their eyes, sandwiching a piece of scrambled egg.

"...?"

Everyone looked over in astonishment, and saw Wen Wen Jing san had already stuffed a large piece of scrambled egg into his mouth and a piece of braised fish, his cheeks bulging like an unsuspecting hamster.

"..."

Is this hungry?
Are you dying of hunger?

Xiao Xuechen frowned, for some reason he was worried. Ju Lan was between her and san, so she stretched out her hand under the table, ignoring the surprise in Ju Lan's eyes, and quietly pulled a pinch of fluff on Yu Xing's plush clothes. .

Yu Xing was able to eat hard, and suddenly felt that his clothes were being pulled, he pretended not to know, and smiled: "This dish is really delicious, you should eat it too."

Xiao Xuechen retracted his hand and sighed: What if my teammates help the ghost talk?Online wait, very urgent.

However, maybe he has a sacrifice that can detect the authenticity of the food...

Thinking like this, she reluctantly stretched out her chopsticks and took a bite of the small green vegetables.

It's just normal.

Since they moved the chopsticks first, the rest of the deducers were dubious, and since the village chief and the woman were still watching, they all wanted to eat casually.

Yu Xing swallowed the food in his mouth and asked casually, "When is the funeral?"

The village chief slapped his thigh: "Haha, Xiao Sheng hasn't died for a long time. Today is the first seven. The funeral will be tomorrow night. I will take you to see it then."

In one sentence, several death flags came out one after another.

The first seven, tomorrow's funeral, neither of which sounds like a safe time.

[Main quest has been triggered: Attend Zhou Yongsheng's funeral and leave Guanjia Village alive]

The main quest is clear at this time, and it is no different from Yu Xing's speculation.

"We'll stay and participate, then, village chief, where will we live tonight?" Wei Fan, the oldest among the players, looked at the rooms around the courtyard, obviously not enough for seven people.

This shows that they are going to be separated at night.

"We've been harassing for the past two days, we'll pay for the accommodation." Xiao Xuechen followed up. She never mentioned her profession from beginning to end. Although she said that she was a colleague with Wei Fan, she didn't look like a female engineer.

Yu Xing had a good look at her. He guessed that this woman's role should be at the level of the boss, and her social status in reality would not be low. That kind of tone that is used to being a high-ranking person can't deceive people.

"No problem, I'll arrange the accommodation! Almost every household in our village has vacant rooms. I'll find two reliable ones for you. Oh, by the way, we can only accommodate two people in our family. There is an empty room, inside Two beds!"

The village chief implemented the quality of hospitality, and then looked at Yu Xing eagerly, "Young man, you can live in our house. I think you have a good eye and you like it very much."

"Okay." Yu Xing, who was named, smiled back and agreed happily.

"Then I too—" Carlos' eyes lit up, but he was interrupted by the woman before he could finish speaking.

The woman's dark eyes stared at Xiao Xuechen, and she saw a bad premonition in her heart: "I look at my niece and I also have a good eye for it, little girl, you also live in our house."

hiss……

Xiao Xuechen bit her teeth quietly, and she felt a sudden shock in her heart, because she saw the appearance of the woman's corpse just now, so did this ghost remember her?
Why does this tone sound subtly gloomy, like a threat?
This is almost telling her that something will happen to her tonight!

She is still not sure whether the village chief is a human with a problem in his brain or a ghost, but what is certain is that San's luck is not as good as hers.

Being watched by ghosts.

"But Auntie, Xiao Xuechen is a girl. It's not appropriate to live in the same room as a boy, right?" Carlos objected. His purpose seemed to be to take the initiative to stay at the village chief's house.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm also a girl, and I want to live with Sister Xiao." Ju Lan showed off her little girl's talent, and her tone was filled with the apprehension after leaving home.

"Hey, there aren't that many twists and turns in our village. What's wrong with the young girl and the young girl sleeping in the same room instead of sleeping in the same bed." The woman obviously did not give up, she seemed to recognize Xiao Xuechen. I snorted inwardly.

"Okay, I don't mind." She was a little unhappy when she was stared at by women one after another.

Did you really take her as a bully?
Also, sleeping in the same room with san - eye-catching!
Yu Xing didn't mind this, or in other words, it was the same no matter who lived in the same room.

It doesn't affect him anyway.

Most of the people who ate this meal were unhappy, but Yu Xing had a particularly good appetite.

After eating, it was completely dark. Yu Xing still remembered asking before. The village chief said that after the evening passed, the villagers would come out for activities at night.

He proposed to go out for a walk, and it happened that the village chief was going to take them to live with other villagers, so everyone went out together.

His residence has been decided, and instead of following the large army, he seems to take a walk in the other direction at random.

This village is really weird, it's undisguised weirdness, and the word "problem" is almost written on the surface.

The night is coming, and the white light of the stars begins to wander in the village.

The wind blew the branches of the dead trees in the village, and there was a sound of salsa. Besides, there were no insects, no animals, and no anger.

Only those white light spots, when approached, you can see some human figures and hear some conversations.

It was a villager with a white candle!

Yu Xing's neckline and back were chilly. He wandered beside a few villagers for a while, and the conversation he heard was basically—

Come out to cool off?
Yes, it's too stuffy at home, come out and get some air.

Do you know about Xiaosheng's funeral tomorrow?
I know, definitely go.

Listening further down, Yu Xing became interested.

"There are a few more outsiders in the village today, and the village chief is leading them to find a place to live!"

"Ah~ which ones are so lucky?"

"I don't know, the ones in the west of the village."

He listened, and came up with a bold idea.

Unfortunately, before he could act, a footstep came from behind him. Then, the girl's voice was very low, and she asked in a low voice, "San, what are you going to do tonight?"

"Huh?" Yu Xing turned around and saw Xiao Xuchen, who was also far away from the army.

Xiao Xuechen and him are both people who have to stay at the village chief's house tonight. They came to him at this time to discuss and discuss countermeasures.

He looked down at her slightly: "Why, do you think the village chief's wife is coming to gank you tonight?"

"...I think it's possible. She, she doesn't look at me that kindly. I think I'll be the first target." Xiao Xuechen didn't put on makeup on her face, her curly hair was loose, but her face was very calm, she even Not forgetting the nature of the game, "san, you are a painter, I don't know if you believe there are things in this world that cannot be explained by science. Me and Wei Gong... We are actually a strange incident investigation studio."

"Oh~" Yu Xing looked at her with a half-smile.

"Perhaps you don't believe this." Xiao Xuechen thought to himself that the deducer would not believe this, but she still had to explain it seriously for the sake of the role logic!
"Gong Wei and I came here because we were entrusted to investigate the strange events here. Also, as far as we know, Ju Lan's so-called boyfriend is actually an investigator. He just lost contact during the last mission. I have reason to believe that Ju Lan is our colleague." Xiao Xuechen is quite interesting, she said this, it is equivalent to exposing her, Wei Gong, and Ju Lan's "old players" identities.

Yu Xing: "So?"

"So if you also disguised your identity to investigate, please help tonight..."

"Ah, I'm really just a painter." Yu Xing innocently looked at Miss Yu who was stunned in front of him, "How can I help? At most, if you're afraid, I'll hold you to sleep?"

I'm sorry, the little devil in his heart was just about to move, he couldn't help but want to tease his dear teammates.
