absurd deduction game

Chapter 39 The Chewy Jumping Machine

Alice's figure of more than two meters moved towards Gui Xin with full pressure. Gui Xin was surprised for a moment and hid behind Heng very naturally.

The reason why the word move is used is that Alice's soles seem to have pulleys, and without bending her legs, she maintains a standing posture and moves over.

"I'm Alice, your best friend, not an object." Alice's voice also had a certain mechanical sense, hollow and stiff, looking down at the couple condescendingly.

Heng looked helpless and protected his girlfriend who got into trouble behind him: "I'm sorry Alice, she didn't do it on purpose."

To tell the truth, in addition to the pressure of height, Alice also gives people a unique kind of fear.

This should be called... the uncanny valley effect.

Heng faced her, always feeling uncomfortable everywhere.

"I'm sorry, Alice, um, Alice is the best looking." Gui Xin didn't realize it at all, and apologized with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, have a good time with Alice." Alice blinked her scarlet eyes, panned back to the starting position, and patted her skirt. A small gem was patted off her skirt by her metal fingers. , she didn't realize it, "The rules of the game are introduced below."

At the same time as her voice sounded, the deduction system also gave clearer and clearer rules in their minds.

[The deceased only knows his own identity, the winning condition is "not killed by the murderer", and at the end of the game, no more than three of the remaining five people know the identity of the deceased (including players who died in the middle). 】

[The murderer, knowing the identity of himself and the detective, can kill the detective.The winning condition is "find the deceased and kill the deceased again". The detective who kills the murderer will get the information of the deceased directly. At the end of the game, no more than two of the remaining five people know the identity of the murderer (including the player who died in the middle). 】

[Detective, knows the identity of himself and the deceased, the winning condition is "find the murderer", and he needs to obtain more than five clues. 】

[The suspect, who only knows his own identity, the winning condition is "confirm any two identities of the murderer, the deceased, and the detective", and he needs to obtain more than four clues. 】

Yu Xing rubbed his temples and did not comment on the rules for the time being, but listened to Alice's voice and memorized every word she said.

"There are twelve rides in my park, which are now available for you to play for free. After completing one item, you will get a random clue, pointing to the dead, the murderer or the detective. You can't take the initiative to tell others your identity." Alice's mouth rose. , turned around in place, "The game time is four hours, and the minimum number of people open to all amusement projects is two people. I hope you and your companions have a good time~"

After speaking, without waiting for others to respond, she saluted again, moved backwards, disappeared into the tower, and the door slammed shut.

At the same time, the clock began to turn again, tick, tick, rhythmically.

"That is to say, within four hours, people of different identities have to complete their tasks." Wang Jue touched his chin and sighed, "It's okay, it's not the supernatural deduction I'm most afraid of this time. Okay. Speaking of which, among you…”

He deliberately glanced around slowly: "One of them is a murderer."

"What's the situation?" Yu Xing scratched his head in confusion, with a confused expression, "Well, did something happen in reality?"

At the scene, Wang Jue also showed that he knew the murder in reality, but if Wang was definitely not the murderer, then there must be someone who had been to the scene of the crime, but pretended not to be at this time.

There is no way to verify this matter now. In order to reduce his suspicion, he must be able to act.

Zhao Yijiu glanced at him and said nothing.

No matter what character Yu Xing used to deceive people in the deduction, Zhao Yijiu was not surprised, and he somehow expected others to be deceived - anyway, he knew Yu Xing's true face, and he was not at a loss.

"My name is Wang Jue, absolutely Jue, a student of Ruibo. Isn't there a school celebration today? I heard that someone seemed to have died. I didn't squeeze in when I followed the crowd to see it, and I didn't know much." Wang Jue recalled, and then recounted his morning experience.

From the perspective of a passerby, Yu Xing didn't have a big problem listening. When he saw Wang Jue, Wang Jue was doing a bartending show, which matched what he said.

"However, I know I'm not the murderer, so there must have been some of you at the scene at the time, so let's take advantage of everyone's presence and introduce ourselves and talk about what you did in the morning, right?" Wang Jue's skeptical eyes did not hide at all land on everyone.

"Okay, okay, my boyfriend and I were shopping just now, and suddenly there was a notification that a game appeared. Anyway, we were bored, so we came in together." Gui Xin blew his bangs, "My name is Chen Jiu, this is It's my boyfriend Ling Heng, we didn't get up until eight o'clock, and then we went to the street, how about you?"

"My name is Xie Ze, as you can see..." The man in suit with the personality mask Ze pointed to his elegant dress, "I'm making preparations for a business reception, but preparations for the reception have been going on for nearly a week. Today In the morning, it was just the end, and I agreed to enter the game."

"Does the finishing work also need to be so formal?" Ling Heng, who had not spoken much for a long time, smiled and threw a sharp question at this moment.

Xie Ze explained: "The company's affairs are too busy, and I am afraid that it will be too late to change clothes."

"Is that so?" Ling Heng was noncommittal, and that expression made Xie Ze frown.

"Zhao Yijiu, I was at home when the game pulled people." Comrade Zhao Yijiu of the refrigerator returned to a state where people didn't talk much.

"I prove it! My name is Yu Xing, and I was at his house at the time." Yu Xing shamelessly pulled Zhao Yijiu to do perjury, and he added seriously, "I just came to the company for an internship, and I don't have the work report. Yes, let the senior teach me, it happens that we live close by, and today is the afternoon shift again, so I will go to the senior's house in the morning."

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

As expected of a playwright, the background story really doesn't need to be thought about, it's easy to come by.

But what is this thing doing in the morning, needing to tell such a lie, and using me as a shield?
Realizing this, Zhao Yijiu said coldly: "You are too stupid to teach, so you should resign as soon as possible."

Yu Xing turned pale in shock, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were all rounded: "Ah~ seniors can't bully the intern by relying on their computer power! Look, we didn't know each other was a deducer before, so it's fine for me to kill you. Well, now that I know it, it will be considered a peer in another sense in the future, can you be more enthusiastic?"

"No."

Seeing Yu Xing's aggrieved look, Chen Jiu laughed out loud: "You guys are so interesting, what company, the employees are so good looking, I want to go too."

Zhao Yijiu glanced at her.

This girl looks quite silly and sweet, as cheerful as a second idiot, but asks questions as sharply as her boyfriend.

He succinctly said: "Entertainment Media."

Yufeng Media is a well-known company in Mijin City. Due to the nature of work, it does have certain requirements on the appearance of employees.

This time, Chen Jiu shrugged: "Wow, your company's recruitment requirements are very high, I'm a waste, I don't deserve to be in."

The voice fell, and no one started talking again.

Because the six people briefly talked about their trajectory of action, except Wang Jue, none of them stayed in Ruibo, so there were only two possibilities.

The first type is that some of them lied. Except for Xie Ze, the remaining four are corroborated in pairs. That is to say, if someone is lying, most of them may collude, which is more difficult than lying alone.

The second is that the case of Rui Bo did not happen in the morning, but earlier. It was only at the beginning of the school celebration today that someone happened to open the door of the sports equipment room, and the deceased was discovered.In this case, even if everyone did not lie, no one would be able to get rid of the suspicion.

After a while of silence, Zhao Yijiu turned to Yu Xing and said, "Waste time, let's go."

The game lasts for four hours. In addition to getting different numbers of clues, people with different identities have to consider how to complete the reasoning task.

The murderer, the deceased and the detective have to consider how to kill without being noticed and how to protect themselves.

Time is still tight.

Since Zhao Yijiu showed that he didn't want everyone to act together, Yu Xing made an apologetic gesture to others and left with him.

The remaining four thought about it, and there is really no need to walk with strangers at the beginning. They don't know what kind of dangers there are in the amusement facilities. What if they stumble and cause them to be in danger?
You can only walk with people you trust first, and after you get some clues, you can gradually narrow the scope of your goals and get in touch with others.

The young couple had a hippie smile and a calm and casual look, leaving behind two male single dogs and walking towards the Ferris wheel.

……

Yu Xing identified the direction, followed Zhao Yijiu past the children's playground and the haunted house, and walked towards the jumping machine.

"Is it so exciting to play as soon as you come up?" Seeing Zhao Yijiu walking towards the ticket office without hesitation, Yu Xing sighed with his pocket in his pocket.

"Are you afraid of heights?"

"no."

"That's good." Zhao Yijiu walked to the sign at the unmanned ticket office, "I have a hunch that items that are exposed to a certain degree of danger in the field of vision are better than facilities such as the Merry-go-round in the Ghost Object Mirror House."

He looked at the instructions on the sign.

[The minimum number of people to open this project is two, and the maximum number is four. Tourists with bad hearts are requested to consciously change to other projects to experience. 】

"What about the heart?"

Yu Xing reacted for a second, only to hear that Zhao Yijiu was asking him how his heart was, not asking for his heart. He looked at the sign and immediately understood: "The heart is very good."

They pushed aside the white rear metal fence and looked towards the body of the jumping machine.

The jumping machine should be higher than the central tower of Alice Square, and it is the second highest facility after the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel.

The surface of the cylinder is pitted, creating the feeling of a primitive giant tree. There are countless eyes of different sizes inlaid in the twisted and coiled branches. The eyeballs move flexibly in the white of the eyes. Patients with intensive phobia should die on the spot.

The seats on the outside are also in the style of branches, and the seat belts are bloody and bouncy to the touch. Yu Xing thinks it should be very chewy.

Licking his lips, he sat quietly next to Zhao Yijiu.

"By the way, where were you in the morning?"

Sitting in the seat and fasten the seat belt, Zhao Yijiu suddenly remembered, so he asked a question.

Yu Xing checked the U-shaped handrails used to fix tourists, and said of course, "Rui Bo University."

Zhao Yijiu: ?

Can you say that again?
