absurd deduction game.

Chapter 245 Nightmare (6) - Lying
Zhou Xue's grandmother was called Liang Erni, a very common name in that era.

After her death, grandma passed on a jade necklace that she had carried with her for many years to Zhou Xue. It is said that during the most difficult time of the year, grandma could only eat moldy cakes, and her clothes were covered with patches. In the end, she even bought coarse cloth to mend clothes. I'm sorry, the place where the hole was broken can only be exposed to the wind, and I didn't sell this piece of jade.

Later, life had a way out. Grandma gave birth to Zhou Xue’s father, but she didn’t pass the jade to him. She guarded this jade, as if guarding some kind of obsession, until Zhou Xue went to the ward to see her for the last time. That day, trembling, she stuffed the jade pendant, which was warming her chest, into Zhou Xue's hand.

At that time, grandma was almost dying.

In fact, grandma's funeral is a joyful one. When she reaches her age, she will die of old age without illness or disaster.

The family didn't feel much sorrow, and only regarded this incident as a process that must be experienced-people will die, how lucky to die of old age.

That day grandma stuffed jade into her hand and drove away everyone except her, and told her in a hoarse voice.

"Axue...you put this piece of jade away. It has accompanied and protected grandma for the rest of her life. Now that grandma is leaving, her only wish is that you can be safe...this piece of jade will also protect you."

……

Grandma said that this piece of jade can protect people.

Zhou Xue and Liu Ruru commemorated grandma, recalled a wave of the past, looked at Liu Ruru's concerned face, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to press on her heart.

The jade pendant was on her neck, and she hadn't left this jade for a day since grandma died.

Maybe Yu really protected her... so that the two scary things in the dream couldn't hurt her?
So she must not listen to that female ghost and smash the jade into pieces.

"Is that so..." Zhao Ruru was thoughtful, she thought for a while, "Aren't you going to work tomorrow Saturday?"

"Rest." Zhou Xue said.

"Then let's go to the cemetery together?" Zhao Ruru suggested, "Although it's not a special festival, we should also buy some paper money and tell your grandmother about your experience, maybe she will bless you?"

There was a moment of hesitation in Zhou Xue's gaze.

But then, she sighed, as if she was regretting that she had fallen into the position of needing to bother her dead grandma.

"Okay, let's go together at noon tomorrow, I hope grandma can... save me."

The sun is bright at noon, so it is less likely to be afraid.

Zhou Xue's appetite was still poor, and after talking to Liu Ruru for a while, she became tired.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks together, Zhou Xue left Liu Ruru's house, took out the key and entered the house.

Although she didn't want to face the bedroom, the month-long torture had made her develop some resistance. At first, she was terrified of the bedroom when she woke up, but now she can accept it more calmly.

Of course, Zhou Xue's reaction may be much calmer than that of ordinary people. I don't know if it's because of her personality, or because she has been in contact with the nagging grandma since she was a child, and her ability to accept these things is stronger than normal people.

Wash, brush your phone, climb into bed.

It's still early for going to bed, but she feels very tired. Fortunately, today is Friday, and she didn't bring her work home, so she is very free now.

Since I have already made an appointment to visit grandma in the suburban cemetery tomorrow, it is better to rest early so as to recharge my spirits.

Zhou Xue closed her eyes and fell asleep.

……

Zhao Ruru put the bowls and chopsticks in the cupboard and put them back in their place, digesting the information he had inquired, with no expression on his face.

Now she has to think about how to contact Yu Xing. After such a long time, she believes that Yu Xing won't just stay in the corridor and wait, maybe he went shopping?
She didn't know Yu Xing's identity, and she might have access to other sources of clues.

Taking out a black wooden chopstick that was shorter than ordinary chopsticks, Zhao Ruru muttered something in his mouth, and then let go.

The chopsticks stood on the spot in a miraculous balance for two seconds before falling in her direction.

"It's right here?" She was a little surprised, this hexagram indicated that the person she was looking for was very close to her.

"It's not really waiting in the corridor... No, it's impossible, it should be back after I estimated the time after I went out."

Zhao Ruru walked to the porch and saw the shadow of a man flashing past.

With such an expression on her face, she opened the door and said in a low voice, "Enter—"

Huh?
no one there?
"Peng."

Suddenly, there was a dull sound of something falling to the ground in the bedroom, Zhao Ruru frowned, closed the door smoothly, and came to the bedroom.

She breathed lightly and twisted the handle gently.

Different from the imagined darkness, the bedroom lights were on, and it was bright, allowing Zhao Ruru to have a panoramic view of everything inside.

A man was sitting in front of her desk, brushing his phone with his chin propped up, and there was an open laptop in front of him, and the charging cable was connected to the power socket under the desk.

An exquisite napkin box fell on the ground, the hard kind, and the sound just now should be the result of it falling from the desk.

Hearing the knock of the door, the man looked at her boredly.

"Hey!"

Zhao Ruru almost jumped up in fright, and after seeing who it was, he finally couldn't help but put his hands on his hips: "You scare people and never stop paying back!"

"Me? Isn't this too wronged? I'll just sit here and don't scare you." Yu Xing looked at her innocently, and then curled his mouth, "If you will be scared to this extent, then you also too--"

Under Zhao Ruru's angry eyes, he still swallowed his words for the sake of harmony among his teammates.

"How did you get in here?" Zhao Ruru was annoyed. She didn't know why. In order to collect information from various sources, she had faced many kinds of people. Leave an image of the Zhao family who is at ease with others.

And once I met Yu Xing...

Her emotions are easily mobilized.

Especially when the other party made a very innocent expression after doing something bad, it was really itchy.

It's not that she has any special thoughts about Yu Xing. She really doesn't control her face. Compared with her face, she always pays more attention to her interests, and emotional control is a compulsory course for obtaining benefits.

That's why she found it strange that Yu Xing's every move seemed to be a little more than others.

Could it be that the other party is someone who is more familiar with how to collect information than she is, and before she knows it, her vigilance has been worn away! ?
Be confident, that's it!

Zhao Ruru said to himself.

Yu Xing didn't know what she was thinking in a daze, spread her hands, bent down and picked up the napkin box used to attract Zhao Ruru's attention: "I came in through the window, it's too cold outside."

Zhao Ruru was speechless for a while.

After a while, she said, "How much have you heard?"

Yu Xing said, "All of them."

Her eyes twitched: "..."

Dare to love me for cooking and chatting so hard, while you are playing on your phone across the door!
Forget it, he forced him to be reasonable, and if he overheard it, he would save her from repeating it.

After comforting herself for a while, she said in a normal tone: "Okay, let's discuss it."

Yu Xing temporarily put down the phone and looked up at her: "Okay."

"From her words, we can conclude that she has a piece of jade, which is the focus of this mission." Zhao Ruru saw that Yu Xing sat on his chair under his buttocks, and sat down on the edge of the bed in humiliation, "Grandma may have It's weird, more or less related to the yin house, and Zhou Xue's danger comes from her dream, that is to say, it's difficult for us to give her effective protection from the outside world, unless she doesn't sleep."

"Impossible. Judging from her mental state, she hasn't slept well for a long time. If she is allowed to last for another three days..." Yu Xing thought carefully, and then concluded, "Maybe she will die suddenly."

"...You are right, and when the time comes, even forced sleep is not impossible. The drowsiness is too strong, and people can't resist it at all." Zhao Ruru touched his wrist, where a red bandage was tied.

Yu Xing took a look at the strap and thought it looked pretty good: "So, we have to find a way to interfere with her dream, either we go in or pull out the ghost inside. Only when the ghost is in the same space as us can we have Protect Zhou Xue's ability."

Zhao Ruru asked: "So, what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas, I just think it's a little fun." Yu Xing looked at the wall in front of him with a half-smile. From here, Zhou Xue's bedroom was just across the wall.

"You should be able to judge this kind of thing," he paused, "about Zhou Xue's grandma, the origin of that piece of jade, and even the content of the dream, this Zhou Xue—"

"I lied." Zhao Ruru answered calmly.

"That's right, they all lied." Yu Xing nodded.

Then he raised his brows and praised: "It's ok, it's smarter than the last one."

Zhao Ruru really wanted to squirt blood on Yu Xing's face, so as to block his magical aura that could even boast a sense of sarcasm.

"I think it's necessary for me to declare that although I'm not good at reasoning, I'm absolutely—very accurate in judging people!"

Do you really think she is a fool?

Yu Xing didn't have the self-consciousness to be irritating at all: "Oh."

[Ok?Wait, why did you lie? ]
[How did they see that Zhou Xue was lying? ]
[I clearly see the end from beginning to end, but I am not worthy to think with them]
[The absurd world is so cold, only lucky face can make me feel warm]
[Wake up, I didn't realize it before, what you saw might be an illusion]
[I don't care, life is short, enjoy yourself in time, from now on, every erotic dream of mine will have a face]
[......]
[Brothers are real warriors]
[No, actually I am a woman]
The barrage is crooked every day.

Yu Xing casually picked up a pen on the desk and twirled it with her fingertips: "She claimed that her grandma gave her the jade before she died. I don't care whether this is true or not. Let's just say that the man and woman in her dream, if It's really like what she said, if it scares her... she won't be so enthusiastic about the current game project."

He clearly remembered that Zhou Xue put a lot of effort into the game "Nightmare". If she was really afraid of the Ghost Bride, she wouldn't remember more and more details in her dreams in order to copy it to game design.

"I don't know her attitude towards work, but the ghost bride is wearing a red wedding dress. If she really thinks that they are two ghosts and will hurt her, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the bandage on my wrist. "Zhao Ruru raised her hand, and those who are familiar with her know that this is one of her sacrifices.

This time, she deliberately took the strap out of the persona, and purposely swayed it in front of Zhou Xue many times during meals.

"I'm a woman, and I scared her in the stairwell, and I'm wearing such a red belt that doesn't match my whole clothes. People who are really scared will only think that I am possessed by a ghost bride, but she, But there is no doubt at all, it's too fake."

She straightened the few strands of hair that fell to her temples: "But no matter how much she lied and why she lied, there is one thing that cannot be changed - she is the target we want to protect, whether her position is right or wrong, We have nothing to do with her. And jade should be real, and our focus of customs clearance is indeed on jade... Tomorrow I will go to the cemetery with her to see the grandma, and by the way, set up a set of information about jade, if it really doesn't work , may have to be forced to act."

"Let's see the situation tonight. When she really realizes the crisis, she can't help but tell the truth." Yu Xing's ending voice rose, and there was a sense of calm teasing no matter how she heard it.

"Hmm." Zhao Ruru rubbed his face, "By the way, are the ghost groom and Liu Xue really in Zhou Xuemeng? How could these two appear in her dream at the same time..."

Yu Xing said, "I don't know."

In the first phase of the task, he indirectly got to know the young master who died first through the whole spiritual space. He didn't think that a ghost who wanted to make people a weeping bride would create ghost alleys and yin houses. Unbiased scene.

Either it was Zhou Xue's lies, or there was something wrong with the woman in the dream, or there was something wrong with the man in the dream—it was just these three possibilities. Compared with these, one thing he wanted to know more was...

Where did Zhao Yijiu go?
Since the goal of the mission is to protect Zhou Xue, at least the deduction system will not arrange for them to be out of contact with Zhou Xue's character for too long, and now almost a day has passed, but Zhao Yijiu has not appeared around Zhou Xue.

This is unreasonable.

unless……

After dark, Zhao Yijiu was able to contact Zhou Xue, and the time was about the same as them.

As long as Zhao Yijiu is not playing the role of a thief who breaks into the house, there is almost only one possibility left.

The role he plays is not in reality, but in a dream.

Yu Xing turned his head and glanced out of the dark window, the corners of his mouth became more playful.

If this is the case, before they find a way to enter Zhou Xue's dream, they will have to trouble Brother Jiu to stay alone for a while...

"Wait!" Zhao Ruru suddenly said, interrupting his train of thought.

He looked at Zhao Ruru and found that his face was a little pale.

"what happened?"

Zhao Ruru touched the goose bumps on his arm because of a flash of inspiration, and he was a little dazed: "You came in through the window, so who is the figure I saw in the corridor just now?"

Yu Xing: "?"

"What figure?"

"It's just that I was looking for you just now, and I saw a tall man in the cat's eyes... I opened the door and disappeared. Before I had time to think about it, your carton fell."

Zhao Ruru's pupils tightened, and he turned his head dryly and asked Yu Xing: "Did I escape the ghost with good luck just now?"
