Chapter 28 The Broken Mask

Yu Xing looked up at the woman's expression.

The woman just smiled, but couldn't see any other emotions. He patted Xiao Xuechen, who was a little stiff, on the shoulder, and said to the woman, "We slept well last night, thank you for your concern."

Xiao Xuechen reacted, showing a smirk that Yu Xing thought could be called a very skilled smirk, and said, "Yeah, I have a good physique and I'm not afraid of cold."

Then she pulled Yu Xing's fluffy sleeve: "Let's go out and see what happened!"

"Okay." Putting down the bowl, Yu Xing nodded to the woman and walked out with Xiao Xuechen.

The woman stared at their backs, the smile on her face gradually weakened, until they went out the door and caught sight of them, she raised her hand and touched the scar on her eyes.

The scar was obvious to the touch, she walked slowly to the table, and looked down at the uninjured eye.

There are two bowls of millet porridge on the table, one bowl is still full, and one bowl is more than half drank, no one touches, the waxy white porridge gradually turns red, gurgling, and blood bubbles begin to rise upward. Bubble.

……

According to the reactions of the villagers outside, Yu Xing could easily identify the direction of the accident. After Ju Lan left in front of their house, he should have run towards the entrance of the village.

On the road, I ran into Wei Fan who was also walking towards the accident site. This middle-aged man in his 30s didn't seem to have slept well last night. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked a little tired.

Wei Fan greeted the two of them, and Xiao Xuechen leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Where are Xu Hong and Xu Yuan?"

"The two of them stayed in the house to study feng shui. Anyway, I don't understand what they said." Wei Fan replied, looked at Yu Xing who was a few steps away, and asked Xiao Xuechen quietly, "How were you last night? , is there no accident?"

"It's a long story, but it's generally safe." Xiao Xuchen didn't intend to explain it to Wei Fan from the beginning, it was a waste of saliva.

Yu Xing's ears moved, and he heard what the other party wanted him to hear and what he didn't want him to hear.

With his eyes curled and a smile, he saw a group of villagers gathered around from a distance, and walked quickly past the two who were talking.

Passing through the thin human wall, he saw a petite figure.

It's Ju Lan.

She fell to the ground with a pale complexion, blood splattered all around her body, and bruises on her body.

Unexpectedly, the body was found early in the morning, and these people did nothing and let the body lie on the spot.

But... what is that?
Next to the head of Ju Lan's body, there are several large fragments.

The fragments are white, and looking at the shape, it should be a mask when put together.

Persona?

Yu Xing observed the villagers calmly, and found that they didn't seem to be able to see the shattered mask beside the corpse.

Is it that only the gamers can see this?
"The foreigner is dead... what should I do? Throw it on the mountain to feed the dog?" At this moment, someone from the villagers said something, and many people agreed immediately.

"Of course not to be buried!"

"Hey the dog, this little girl is very cute, but she doesn't look good after she dies."

"Why did one die..."

"..." Yu Xing put his hands in the pockets of his tight jeans and glanced at the people who were talking.

Those people felt a chill behind them, instinctively shut their mouths, and rubbed their arms in confusion.

"Village chief, who are we going to throw away the corpses?" After a while, a fairly young man asked, looking at the village chief in the crowd.

The village chief stretched his voice and seemed to be thinking: "This..."

"This, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish." Seeing that these people were really discussing, as if the corpse was left to their disposal, Yu Xing sneered, and the fierceness on his face disappeared in a flash.

Before he came, he just wanted to see the villagers' reactions, but now that he saw it, he had more guesses about the game in his heart.

In fact, last night was a death node in the whole game. If he and Xiao Xuchen didn't find the ancestral hall and didn't receive a prompt, then how many people would go out last night because of the coaxing and threats of ghosts or the help of their companions?
Without firm vigilance, I am afraid the probability is not small.

Seeing that only one person died, the villagers seemed disappointed.

Yu Xing walked to Ju Lan's body and squatted down in a protective manner: "No one is allowed to touch her."

When no one was paying attention, he quickly touched the mask fragments, and suddenly, a deduction reminder floated in his mind.

[The information "Personality Mask Arashi is weak" has been obtained, there is no peeling sacrifice]

After the prompt appeared, several fragments seemed to have been weathered and dissipated like smoke.

It turns out that the mask will appear after the deducer dies, and it seems that he can inherit the sacrifices embedded in the mask by the mask owner.

A conclusion flashed in Yu Xing's mind, and he raised his eyebrows.

The villagers all looked at him and were surprised: "Yeah, when did you come, I didn't pay attention just now."

"Young man," the village chief stood up when he saw that he and Xiao Xuechen were coming, "you have seen the situation, what do you think we should do with your friend's body?"

Yu Xing smiled and secretly said in his heart: Just deal with the corpse directly, not to mention finding the murderer. It seems that in this village, there is no concept of crime at all, or in other words, there are no rules for human beings here.

Wei Fan wanted to stand out, but was pulled by Xiao Xuechen and shook his head, as if saying something in his eyes.

Xiao Xuechen's eyes indicated: Don't disturb the boss's work.

Wei Fan's understanding of this: let san step on the thunder, let's take a look first.

So he gave up the idea of ​​going forward and observed the situation without saying a word.

Yu Xing looked around, and there was something unquestionable in his polite tone: "She is a companion who came with us, so leave the body to us, and you don't need too much care from you."

Last night, despite Ju Lan's pleas, he didn't feel soft-hearted. He didn't feel guilty, because it wasn't his fault, so he shouldn't have to bear the consequences.

But they are also players, and they are half companions. No matter what, they can't let this group of people treat Ju Lan's corpse indiscriminately.

She looks so young, it's a bloodbath to be a deducer.

Moreover, the deceased in the village will have funerals after the first seven, and the outsiders are dead, and they don't even deserve to be buried. What should I say... It's really clear.

Hearing san's clear words, Xiao Xuchen rubbed Wei Fan's arm with his fingers.

Fortunately, Wei Fan's understanding was correct this time, and he walked up a few steps.

"That's right, we came together anyway, let's bury her." Since Wei Fan was the only man present who looked more powerful, he took the initiative to bend over and pick up the terrifying corpse, and took Ju Lan with him. away from the villagers.

The villagers seemed a little restless, but the village chief waved his hand and suppressed them.

"Outlanders don't deserve to be buried!" Someone resisted in a low voice, and Yu Xing heard it before he got up and walked far.

Hmph... His eyes sank, and disgust rolled in his heart.

Hearing this makes me feel bad.

Since it made him feel bad, then... some things have to pay the price.

No retaliatory action was carried out for the time being, Yu Xing and Xiao Xuchen walked beside Wei Fan, walked through the village with him, and walked into the mountains and forests.

This is not the mountain where the ancestral hall is located, because I don't know if there are any taboos in this area, so in order to prevent bad changes, he and Xiao Xuechen guided Wei Fan to another place together.

The plants near Guanjia Village are all withered. Whether it is the low mountain in the east of the village or the mountains on other sides, the trees are withered and the grass is shriveled, always showing a lingering death.

Even if his physical strength was good, Wei Fan, who was walking on the mountain road with the corpse in his arms, was exhausted.

"What about Carlos, why haven't I seen him?" After walking to a place far enough and concealed enough, Wei Fan, who didn't know that Carlos disappeared last night, could finally put down the body and wiped his body. He wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the blood stains on his clothes, and looked at Yu Xing enviously.

It's great that one or two of these good-looking ones don't have to do physical work!

"Carlos disappeared last night. I didn't see him in the village just now. I don't know where he went." Xiao Xuechen explained, taking the two shovels that Yu Xing passed by the village chief's house and quickly came out of it. one.

It was Yu Xing who did the digging. Xiao Xuechen was of little use to help. After a while, Yu Xing, who felt very tired, finally dug a usable hole.

Next is burial.

The three were not afraid of the corpse. Wei Fan put the corpse into the pit and filled it with soil with a shovel.

"Ju Lan, right, go all the way."

Yu Xing was not interested in talking to the corpse, and sat aside to rest.

"San." Xiao Xuchen suddenly sat next to him.

"What's the matter, Miss~"

"Have you accepted Ju Lan's mask information?" She straightened her sleeves, curled her hair behind her head, leaving a few strands of slightly curly hair on her temples, "I don't mean anything else, I just ask curiously, Does she have any sacrifices that can save her life? If there is, she won't be so powerless to resist..."

Aha~

Yu Xing moved his fingers: Sister Xiaoyu is good at speaking. She doesn't want to express her doubts about the information I took away the mask, and she also wants to confirm whether I have received Ju Lan's sacrifice.

However, there is also a lot of information revealed to him in these words, at least it proves that leaving a mask after the deducer dies is not a small probability event, but should be inevitable.

Otherwise, Xiao Xuechen would not have asked directly.

The corners of Yu Xing's mouth twitched, very satisfied with this young lady.

Capable, obedient, have a brain, do not hold back, master the art of speaking, and act in a measured manner.

he likes.

...has the potential to become a teammate.

"You guessed it right, Ju Lan has no sacrifices." Yu Xing's thoughts were just a momentary thing, he answered Xiao Xuechen's question seamlessly, and then thought about another thing.

Are sacrifices so hard to get?

It is not the first time that Ju Lan has participated in an investigator-like deduction game, which means that the four main quests have been completed, and there may be a few deductions after that.

After so many deduction games, there really wasn't a single sacrifice, and Xiao Xuchen didn't seem surprised.

Coincidentally, he hasn't contacted that person since he became a deducer. After the game is over, let's ask that person for information about the absurd deduction game...
