absurd deduction game.

Chapter 470 Crowne Wants Turnover
It was impossible to buy things, and there was a high probability that it was impossible to count all the items in the small shop. Yu Xing did not talk to the clown again, and the clown became silent.

"Let's go shopping first." He was the first to step forward, Qu Yanqing nodded, turned around and walked towards the shelf on the right, intending to adopt a strategy from near to far - first remember the things on one shelf , and then use this shelf as the base point to explore the surrounding shelves.

Zhao Yijiu walked in silently, apparently wanting to detect the entire area of ​​the grocery store first, while Yu Xing seemed to be more casual, like an office worker who went to a convenience store alone in the early morning to buy simple snacks. Watch the flowers and let your eyes linger everywhere.

This is a very modern grocery store.

Roughly going around, he divided the goods here into five types. The first type is food, including potato chips, bagged bread, instant noodles, sandwiches, and yogurt. The second type is practical items, such as wrenches. , mirror, towel, Durex.The third type is toys, which range from small plastic fingertip tops that have long been eliminated to electric toys with a sense of technology.

The fourth type is clothes. The grocery store is not a clothing store, but it still puts hats and sunglasses on smaller clothes, and there is also a Dead Island T-shirt in one corner, which is a bit trendy.

The fifth type is sundries that Yu Xing finds it difficult to classify, such as paper money, cold medicine, wooden signs for which they don’t know what to do, etc., which are scattered in every corner of the grocery store.

There is still no clear reminder of the dungeon telling them what they want to play, and now there is only one rule that has surfaced, that is, if they don't buy things or stock the clown, they probably won't be able to leave the store.

Yu Xing rubbed his chin, and made his idea on the counter. Don't look at the clean surface of the counter, but they haven't seen the space behind the counter. A small space was closed, and it was impossible to imagine how the staff sitting behind the counter would get out of the counter if the store was still open.

He looked around, Qu Xianqing carefully compared the differences between each shelf, and even checked the prices of the items to try to find patterns, while Zhao Yijiu focused on looking for certain special items, take a look Are there any things that should not appear in it?

Generally speaking, the two teammates are very serious, and no one has paid attention to him for the time being.

The corner of Yu Xing's mouth curled up, thinking that this would be the best. He slapped his palm on the counter, his arm muscles tensed, and using his arm as a fulcrum, he leaped over the counter, and in an instant came to the space inside the closed counter. .

Since after entering the grocery store, only the clown's voice talked to them, and from the outside, the grocery store is actually very small, so can he guess that there is only one employee and owner, the clown, in the grocery store?
If so, who would this counter be reserved for?It could only be Crohn - the thing talking to them.

With this in mind, Yu Xing's first reaction was to observe the grocery store from the clown's original perspective, but as soon as he entered the counter, he tripped over something that was so round that he almost overturned the car.

He lowered his head with great interest, only to see a round clown's head at his feet, in fact there was more than one head, he reached out and grabbed the circus pointed hat on top of the clown's head, and lifted the whole thing away When he got up, he realized that it was a clown doll the size of his upper body.

The head of the clown doll is round, the hats are colorful, the face is painted with white paint, and star-like patterns are drawn around the eyes, the lips are painted too bright red, and the paint extends to both sides of the mouth and to the cheeks .

There is a red plastic ball on the nose of the clown doll, completely covering the original nose position.

The clown's neck and various joints are spherical, allowing his limbs and head to sway freely. He is wearing a one-piece jumper with cartoon patterns, which is loose and loose. The toes of the shoes on his feet are bent, and they are also topped with a ball. .

Yu Xing squinted his eyes, always feeling that something was wrong...

The appearance of such a puppet in the counter was horrifying. When Yu Xing picked it up and looked at it carefully, the bright lights in the canteen suddenly flickered and dimmed a lot as if they had a bad connection.

Yu Xing suspected that this was what the puppet did—or, was it really just a puppet?

"What triggered it?" Qu Yanqing poked his head out and asked.

"Caught a small shopkeeper." Yu Xing shook the doll in his hand with a smile, and placed the doll in a sitting position on the counter under Qu Lianqing's eyes examining the doll, with its back facing him, and then squatted down Checking to see if there was anything in the drawer of the counter, as expected, he found several business-related information books in the drawer, including purchase slips, wish books, and accounting books.

"You found Kraun's ledger!" The clown's sharp voice rang in Yu Xing's ears. Yu Xing stood up straight with these books, and suddenly met the eyes of the clown doll.

The clown's head turned 180 degrees and was connected to his spine. His face with a strange smile was directly facing Yu Xing's face.

Its mouth didn't move, but its voice still rang out: "Are you planning to help Crohn?"

"That's right." Yu Xing was kind, "We disturbed your business, of course we have to make some contributions to you, such as... help you look after the store?"

"Show me the account book." Qu Yanqing had already walked to the counter, reached out and took the account book from Yu Xing's hand. She paid more attention to the specific information in the account book than the task Yu Xing was setting out.

Yu Xing didn't care about Qu Yanqing's things, and still looked at the clown doll.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

This time, under his gaze, the body joints of the clown doll slowly squirmed, bit by bit turning its body towards him, and from the beginning to the end, its head seemed to be fixed in this space He didn't move at all. If he went to participate in a street dance competition, his body separation with one hand would definitely win applause.

"Thank you, friendly customer, then... I will leave the store to you today!" In the eye sockets of the clown doll, the eyeballs made of glass beads suddenly swayed from side to side, and bursts of shrill laughter came from inside the doll. , especially harsh.

Zhao Yijiu hurried over. Both he and Qu Yanqing heard what the clown said. It seemed that Yu Xing had triggered the real rules of this dungeon. As soon as he came out from behind the shelf, he saw something that made him stop involuntarily. scene.

He saw that there was a palette and a pen in the clown doll's hand at some point. When Yu Xing and the clown doll's painted face looked at each other, Yu Xing bent down, and the face and the clown doll His face moved closer and closer.

And the clown stiffly raised his arm, and the tip of the brush stained with red paint was about to land on Yu Xing's mouth.

As for this scene, Qu Yanqing, who was close at hand, seemed to have not seen it, holding the account book and looking at it seriously.

"Yu Xing!" Zhao Yijiu snorted coldly. At the same time, after a slight pause, he sped up and rushed towards the counter. He grabbed the clown doll by the neck and lifted the almost weightless doll on the ground. hand.

"What's the matter?" Yu Xing tilted his head, Zhao Yijiu looked at him, his body was still straight, as if he had never bent down at all.

This made Zhao Yijiu realize something. He turned his head and looked at the clown doll in his hand. The doll's hands were empty, and there was no such thing as a color palette.

does not exist.

didn't happen.

But he saw it.

Zhao Yijiu was silent for a while, put the clown doll back on the counter, and said everything he saw just now, which aroused Qu Yanqing's interest.

Qu Yanqing said: "There are only two possibilities. One is aimed at you, making you see hallucinations. This kind of hallucination fabricated out of thin air is very dangerous. You may see ghosts attacking you and counterattack, but in reality you attack It's actually us."

"The second is for Yu Xing. What you see is not something that didn't happen, but a real event that the victim himself and the people around him may not be able to see. Only if you stop it, it will 'not happen'. It's very dangerous, generally speaking, when the player has their own puzzle-solving and defense capabilities, hallucinations are always the best attack method for ghosts, not one of them."

Qu Xianqing was the experienced person who had the right to speak about this, Zhao Yijiu listened silently, and then nodded.

He said to Yu Xing: "In short, you should stay away from this doll, I will confiscate it."

confiscated?

Yu Xing was thinking about how he would confiscate it, when he saw Zhao Yijiu pick up the clown doll, turn around and put the doll in a trash can far away from the counter.

You can't put it down completely. The funny and round head of the clown doll is exposed outside the trash can. Yu Xing squinted his eyes and looked at it, and found that it seemed to complement each other. Stay in the trash.

"Crown wants to make a profit!" The clown's voice rang in their ears again, "You three must work hard~ hehehehe."

It sounds like it's not just Yu Xing. What Yu Xing triggered made the three of them default as employees who needed to work.

"It's really a turn of events. As customers, we have no other dangers other than verbal threats. So what do we need to face as employees?" Yu Xing stretched behind the counter, He fell back and sat straight on the chair behind the counter, his eyes wandering to the door of the grocery store.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a customer..."

From the outside, this grocery store will never have any customers, because there is nothing active on the street except for the wandering pollutants they have not seen yet, but from the inside, how many customers will there be, But not necessarily.

Yu Xing leaned forward, propping his chin with his hand, really like a grocery store owner with nothing to do, and began to expect customers to come to the door.

Please, give him some fun, this grocery store sells nothing new at all, it's everywhere in reality, it's boring.

Seeing how he entered the play quickly, Zhao Yijiu gave the clown doll a cold look, turned around and started to remember the location of the goods more quickly, in case this little dungeon came with a mission to help the guests get the goods within the specified time Require.

Qu Xianqing flipped through the account book and purchase book page by page, and put them back on the counter: "It recorded the purchase situation within a month, and now it seems that there is nothing abnormal, the purchase is relatively regular, and new toys will be purchased on Wednesday. , Daily necessities are brought in every half a month, and food is brought in every day. As for the account book, it seems to be a new one, only ten pages are recorded, and most of them are transaction amounts of less than ten ghosts. Turnover is decent.”

"Where's the wish book?" Yu Xing squinted over.

"The wish was written by the customer. Looking at the handwriting, most of the people who can write this thing are children. They want all kinds of toys or something. Occasionally, there will be adults' handwriting on it, reminding Kraun that a certain item is about to run out. Urge him to buy. I took a look, and there are many types of items that are urged, including scissors, food of a certain taste, medicine, bandages and the like. Maybe there is a certain pattern hidden in it, and more clues are needed.” Qu Xianqing also put the wish book back, turned and left, "I'll get familiar with the prices on the shelves first, this grocery store doesn't have a separate warehouse room, and all the products are on the shelves, which is good news. As for you... ...Seeing that you are quite proficient in being the boss, just keep an eye on the door."

This was really a bit euphemistic, she almost said, "Look at you being so lazy that you don't want to move at all, you just sit here paralyzed and become a high amputee".

"Give me a mirror." Yu Xing said suddenly.

"What are you doing?" The mirror was located near the area where Zhao Yijiu was. Zhao Yijiu asked casually, and his body already took one side down for him very honestly.

"I put it in front of me, so that if a guest comes in later and wants to talk to me, I can also see the appearance of the clown doll in the reflection of the mirror, and I won't be attacked without knowing it." Yu Xing waved his hand , took the mirror handed by Zhao Yijiu with his left hand, and placed the mirror at a perfect angle.

He yawned, and he put the baseball bat by his feet where he could get it at any time. He looked at the two busy teammates, smiled silently, and put down his right hand resting on his chin.

There was a strange touch on the palm of his hand that he felt as soon as he rested his chin, as if some kind of substance covered his skin. He lowered his eyes without any surprise, and on the palm of his hand, unconsciously... more There are traces of white and red mixed paint.

Tsk, when.

His face...should have been painted a lot.

Yu Xing looked in the mirror. He found an excuse to prevent his teammates from discovering his true intention of looking in the mirror. It is precisely because remembering the location and price of the goods is indeed the top priority now. When it is not clear when the "customer" will come to the door , Such pre-preparation is urgent, he does not think it is a wise choice to distract his teammates.

In the glass mirror, Yu Xing saw another face invisible to the naked eye.

Although it still looked like him, the lower half of his face was painted white—truly pure white, the kind that was several degrees whiter than his pale face.

His lips were painted bright red, and the red paint was drawn from the corner of the mouth, extending to the position of the earlobe, like a clown with only half a happy mask.

What a wicked Crane, Yu Xing thought.

Why don't you put lipstick on me?Also painted it out.

Yu Xing slowly wiped the red paint with the pulp of his thumb, and the pulp was stained red, but the paint on his face did not fade.
