absurd deduction game

Chapter 30 Boundaries of life and death, the laws of nature

It turned out that the first person we saw when we entered the village was a dead person?
Recalling the strange look in the old man's eyes when he looked at them, Yu Xing's heart became clear.

Reasonable, expected.

There may be some emotions such as "scared" and "extremely fearful" when changing people, but for Yu Xing, this is just a piece of valuable news.

really interesting.

The information obtained from the Xu family brothers combined with his own speculation has given him a full understanding of Guanjia Village. At the moment, he continued to ask:
"Why did Zhou Facai bury him? Was it buried after death or..." Buried alive?Yu Xing concealed the last two words, he knew that the old lady could understand his question.

Consecutive questioning tends to be perceived as urgent, thus making the questioned mind vigilant.

Swallowing the last few words will make the other party subconsciously think that he is being consulted and recognized, and it can even induce the other party to tell the truth.

The old lady's skinny fingers gripped the cane, and finally turned her eyes from the sky to Yu Xing: "In our village, the village chief is special. He guards us, eats and lives with us... We really love it. The village chief, however, the village chief's family has also received a curse."

"What curse?"

"The village chief's child will be sent outside as soon as he is born, and he will come back 35 years later. On the day he comes back, this child will be the new village chief, and the old village chief will be buried under the pagoda tree at the head of the village." The old lady obviously A little sad, "Fat Cai is a good kid, but I'm an old man. In my memory, the old village chief is more kind..."

Yu Xing made an "oh" sound and tapped slowly and rhythmically with two fingers on his legs.
"What if the new village chief who comes back can't bear to bury the old?"

"Can't bear it? No, most of them are very willing to do this." The old lady thought of something, but, with her stiff and aging facial muscles, it was difficult to express her emotions at this time, Yu Xing vaguely felt that she was sarcastic, "If there is If he doesn't want to, the villagers will bury him."

Aha, that is to say, in a village, there can only be one bloodline of the village chief's family at the same time.

Yu Xing suddenly became excited, and then asked: "Besides me, has anyone else asked you this question?"

"Yes... It seems that a young man came to ask last night."

When Yu Xing got this news, the corner of his mouth twitched. He already knew where the missing Carlos went.

……

Dawn.

The town that is separated by a mountain from Guanjia Village is quite lively, and there are many businessmen who buy game and medicinal materials coming and going.

Carlos yawned loudly and took a hot bath in the hotel in the town to wash away some of the exhaustion from traveling all night.

He changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom, with a towel draped over his wet gray-blue hair. He just reached out to wipe it when he heard a "woohoo" sound from the floor on the other side of the bed.

Walking slowly, Carlos's blue eyes became darker and darker, and he looked down at the young man whose limbs were bound and his mouth was gagged.

He didn't speak until the young man realized something, stopped struggling, and looked at him in horror.

Carlos smiled with satisfaction: "Zhou Qinghai... Are you hungry?"

"Uuuu." The young man didn't dare to provoke this ruthless pervert at all. He just resisted in astonishment before, and almost got his leg broken.

"It doesn't matter if you're hungry, let's go eat later." Carlos smiled and took off the cloth from the youth's mouth, and said before the youth said, "You will eat obediently, right? I'm very tired now and don't want to deal with more swoops. The moths are here... presumably, you don't want to implicate other innocent people?"

His tone was soft like a friend of the youth, but the youth trembled and nodded desperately.

"Okay, I really like crisp people." Carlos gave him one last look, then wiped his hair intently, "After dinner, I'll take you to a good place, and you'll see what you've been looking for. ...heh, thank me."

In his character memory, he stayed in this small hotel one night before entering the mountain.

The guest next door was a young man named Zhou Qinghai. He was cheerful and unsuspecting. They just had breakfast together. Zhou Qinghai told him that he was an orphan and had been looking for his parents.

Originally, he had paid more attention to such a clear event in the character's memory. After hearing the old lady's words last night, he understood.

Zhou Qinghai, the son of village chief Zhou Facai...is in the town.

He only needs to take Zhou Qinghai back to make the village chief disappear.

Of course, at the same time, Zhou Qinghai will also become the new village head, bound by Guanjia Village.

But what does this have to do with him?All he needs to do is finish the game.

A happy smile flashed across the blue eyes.

……

With the clues he wanted, Yu Xing said goodbye to the old lady and planned to go back to Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan to integrate the information.

They did not choose to gather at the village chief's house, but made an appointment on the top of the hill near the ancestral hall, which was relatively hidden and would not be discovered by the villagers in advance.

After tidying up his somewhat messy and fluffy soft short hair, Yu Xing walked briskly into the low mountain in the east of the village.

It stands to reason that the air in the mountain should be good, but the trees on this mountain are dry, and the trunks on the top are showing their teeth and claws.

He arrived at the appointed place, and the other two were already waiting there.

"San!" Xiao Xuechen was talking to Wei Fan, but when he saw him out of the corner, he waved at him with a smile.

"Good afternoon." Yu Xing nodded, and the three of them found a slightly cleaner place to sit down together.

"Let's start integrating the information, what did you find?" He picked up a twig in his hand to play, and one of them touched the ground weeds.

"Then let me talk about it first." Wei Fan had already heard about Yu Xing's ability from Xiao Xuchen, and he put away all contempt for this young painter, "I asked a disabled villager in the village to find out. There are some villagers in the village who do not go out, they are all hidden and available resources, and their attitude towards foreigners is much better than others.”

"Well." Yu Xing nodded, motioning him to continue.

"After the villagers die, they will hold a so-called funeral on the eighth day. At that time, everyone will go to the ancestral hall to witness." Wei Fan tried to simplify the information collected, "However, the disabled villager told me, Almost everyone in the village was the protagonist of the funeral."

"In other words, they all died once!" Xiao Xuechen didn't look scared, instead she was a little excited, her clear spring-like voice was a little hoarse after half a day of inquiries, "This is in line with what I've heard, Guanjiacun. The villagers in the village are all dead. During the day, they are no different from ordinary people, but their thinking is crueler and more distorted than human beings. In the evening, they can light candles to maintain their human form. If there are no candles, they will become malicious monsters.

Putting the curly hair that ran to the front back, she continued: "Among them, the only exception is the village head. According to my guess, the village head is the only living person in Guanjia Village. He should play a media role and be responsible for communicating with others. Communication with living people from outside."

"It's not the medium, it's the guardian." Yu Xing replied coolly.

It is good that these two people can inquire about these important information, and it seems that they can act very well.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Xiao Xuchen was very interested in the words in his mouth.

"It means..." Yu Xing squeezed the branch's hand for a while, and explained his analysis.

The information he exchanged with the two feng shui masters from the Xu family was that Guanjia Village was located in a deep ditch, and the mountains formed an encirclement trend, enclosing this lowland, and sealing it in all directions, with no exit and no entry.

The layout of the house is in a square shape, borrowing a sentence from "The Peach Blossom Spring", it is indeed "Xian Mo traffic", and "the house is like a house".

After calculation, there is no life here, but a dead air permeates it, which is incompatible with the present world.

"That is to say..." Xiao Xuechen widened his beautiful eyes, and there was some hesitation in his tone.

"Well, we should have been disturbed by some kind of blindfold, or something else." Yu Xing felt that his sleeves were in the way, he rolled his long fleece sleeves to his elbows, and a smile flowed from the end of his eyes, "This is not a living person. The place of activity is... a catacomb."

"Think of the place where we entered the village as the entrance to the tomb, the level road is the tomb passage, and the room where we sleep is the tomb hole where the coffins are placed, so—"

"The coffin is our bed."

The reason why Coffin Village is called Coffin Village is that it is impossible to only have a black coffin in the ancestral hall.

It can be said that there are many coffins in every household, but the shape has been changed by the blind method, so that the living outsiders cannot be identified.

"We slept in a coffin last night!?" Wei Fan was stunned.

This news was too out of the blue. He didn't wonder if Yu Xing guessed wrong, but it seemed reasonable to think about the rule that he couldn't leave the room at night and couldn't let others into the room.

The tomb has the rules of the tomb. If the night is the time when the monster in the village wakes up, then they are also considered as members of the "corpse" lying in the coffin. There are two coffins in a tomb, and they cannot be disturbed.

If you don't keep it well and let other corpses break into your tomb, this kind of rule will be messed up, and it will give other corpses a chance.

On the contrary, if you keep it, then the rules of the tomb hole are here, and other corpses can't break through, and they can't do anything about them.

And there is an explanation for the unsourced food and various materials in the village... Maybe it's just some weird specialties in the tomb...

Thinking of this, and recalling the food he had eaten, Wei Fan's face turned pale.

Xiao Xuechen also looked at Yu Xing with inexhaustible words. She remembered that several deducers didn't want to eat dinner at that time, but San happily said it was delicious and asked everyone to eat it together.

Is it too late for her to vomit now?
Do you think she still has a chance?

Yu Xing pretended not to see the resentful expressions of the two of them. He didn't care what he was eating. Even if he told him plainly that there were rotten worms in the soup, as long as he could eat it, he would still eat it.

Putting his hand in front of his mouth, he coughed twice, and turned his head away.

"Miss, don't look at me like that, I'll be shy."

Xiao Xuechen: "..."

Wei Fan: What about me?And me?Am I not worthy?
Fortunately, Yu Xing did not continue the double standard, but continued to talk about the analysis, which gave Wei Fan a little comfort.

"The village chief is different from other corpses. He is a living person. I think he should be similar to a role like a gravekeeper."

At the moment, he repeated the old lady's words.

Since it was a living person, the woman had already lit candles just after the evening, but the village chief did not.

The changes of the corpses during the day and night are affected by the rules, and the village chief... just relying on his acting skills. He is different from the corpses whose thinking is irreversibly distorted. He knows everything, but still chooses to help the corpses harm outsiders.

Therefore, sometimes living people may be more terrifying than ghosts.

Fortunately, the village chief is not without weaknesses. Players who want to kill the village chief will likely be stopped by the corpse, and may also trigger the death condition. However, there can only be one gravekeeper in the tomb at the same time. If there is one more, the corpses will The original will be buried alive.

Yu Xing knew that he didn't need to worry about the village chief's side, that magician... should be back soon.

"Then, I still have a question about this." Xiao Xuchen's eyes flashed at Yu Xing.

Yu Xing: "Huh?"

"If all the villagers in the village are corpses, what was Zhou Yongsheng before?" Guanjia Village is Zhou Yongsheng's hometown.

"Didn't you find out that there are no children in this village?" Yu Xingxing looked at her calmly, hoping that Sister Yu could use her own brains.

Not only does Guanjia Village have no children, but there is no one under the age of 20 at all.

Wei Fan also said that from time to time a new villager will "die" and a funeral will be held.

Therefore, although this is a tomb, the corpses in the tomb... are constantly changing.

"Could it be that these corpses still have the ability to reproduce. After giving birth to the child, the child is sent out, and when the child is old, the child is brought back and killed to become a new villager!?" A group of clues fought in Xiao Xuechen's mind, and after several laps, finally She sorted out a logic.

"It's not stupid." Yu Xing praised, and then said, "The villagers are no different from living people during the day. Since they are no different, then living people can do it, so can they."

He guessed that whenever a child was born, the village chief would send the child to the outside of the mountain, so that the children would grow up outside.

During this period, the children outside may have no idea what is going on in their home. When they are old enough, they are tricked back into Guanjia Village and then killed by the village chief or other corpses.

Such as Zhou Yongsheng.

Because of the special rules, or curses, here, there is no doubt that the children born from the corpses are living people.

This kind of thing that breaks the boundary between life and death is against the laws of nature, and of course it is not allowed by the world, so the villagers can only be trapped in this small land and can no longer go out.

The old lady used to be a living person. After being killed by the villagers, she was trapped in this village and was forever attached to the outside world.

"The funeral time is at six o'clock in the evening, when the night is approaching. This time is the fixed funeral time in Guanjia Village. Usually, the villagers do not go out. They gather only on funeral days. This is the moment when the yang turns to yin, symbolizing the An original living person was buried through a ceremony and officially became one of them." Yu Xing said lightly.

Funerals are the key to the continuation of the village's curse.

Dusk is no longer day, but there is no need to light candles. It is the time when the line between life and death is the most blurred for Guanjia Village.

Today's funeral, the protagonist is Zhou Yongsheng.

The normal life of this young man was completely destroyed.

Therefore, Yu Xing, Carlos, and the Xu family brothers were all called by Zhou Yongsheng. Zhou Yongsheng didn't want to kill them together, but just wanted them to destroy the funeral ceremony and break this endless vicious curse.
