absurd deduction game

Chapter 512 What We Are In Is A Birdcage
What Zhao Yijiu bought was a serving of mashed potatoes. He was rushing to go without any meat, but when the result came out, there were still some small pieces of minced meat mixed in the mashed potatoes.

He took it with a blank expression, stared at the bright red lips of the young lady chef, and found that a suspicious red fingerprint was also left on the mashed potato plate.

"..." Staring silently at the mashed potatoes, Zhao Yijiu felt a little like hitting someone, such as the woman smiling at him in the partition, why couldn't he just rush in and chop off the person's head?
"Go and take a seat over there." Yu Xing's arrival interrupted the dangerous thoughts in Zhao Yijiu's mind, and he took his arm and walked towards the corner.

Since the cafeteria is very empty at this time, they can be seen in the corner at a glance. If other people have bought their meals, they don’t need to look for them, they can just go there, and this location is the one with the best view after Yu Xing’s observation.

They walked over there and sat down, Zhao Yijiu picked up the spoon that came with the plate, his brows were slightly frowned, with a look of disgust on his face.

Yu Xing said, "Mashed potatoes!"

"You're a hammer." Zhao Yijiu sighed, "The minced meat inside...don't know what it is."

"It's better than mine." Yu Xing opened the slice of bread on top of the sandwich a little, and showed Zhao Yijiu to observe the severed finger inside, "Miss Chef probably thinks I'm too good-looking, so she gave me her own finger Eat, I'm so touched."

Wen Qinghuai, who happened to walk over with a plate in his hand, said, "..." I dare not move.

While talking, Qu Xianqing and Zhao Mou also came over. A table was big enough to accommodate six people. They sat down one after another. The food on each plate was different. Zhao Mou also bought a glass of sweet water.

Since there was meat in the food, he took a sip of sweet water first, and his eyes trembled under the gaze of others: "It has a faint fishy smell."

The sweet water was mixed with blood.

Even if the drinks are like this, the ingredients added to the food are even more blatant. Isn't it because they are afraid that the food in the dungeon has something to do with "human flesh"?Since ancient times, ghosts have used strange ingredients to disguise themselves as normal food, which has been something that every deducer can expect.

"I learned through history and political textbooks that people in this world, even if they have the same genes, will be divided into human beings and discarded garbage because of their youthful performance. "Yu Xing took a bite of the sandwich with a normal expression and felt it. "If you can buy and sell, that means you can kill. The ingredients in the cafeteria..."

He didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew what he meant. Would St. Jonis High School use the unsaved students as food for resources?

"The taste is okay." Yu Xing commented.

There was a little horror in Wen Qinghuai's eyes, after all, he saw the amputated human finger in Yu Xing's sandwich with his own eyes.

Qu Yanqing: "...Really."

She bought a meal with a green side that looked like broccoli, and the others looked into her bowl, but found no trace of meat.

"Don't be too happy, my meat is in the rice." Qu Lianqing knew what other people thought, she picked up a corner of the rice with her chopsticks, and the cooked diced meat was exposed while the rice grains were tumbling.

"But yours is much better than ours. This is cooked meat. No matter what the ingredients are, the taste will not be too far away after being cooked, but we have to feel..." Yu Xing still picked out the severed finger from the sandwich He won't really eat this thing, only the ghost knows what will happen after eating this thing, that chef is clearly teasing him with confidence, relying on the existence of school rules, deliberately put his severed finger in front of him Going in is to bet that he will not dare to violate the school rules.

"The name of this dish is Zhuiniao." Zhao Mou introduced the dish that Qu Xianqing ate, "I bought it at the same window as her, and hers was rice, and I ordered noodles, which were directly marked with Zhuang Bird meat."

"Falling bird?" Zhao Yijiu glanced at his brother, feeling that the word seemed a little familiar to him.

"School rules." Yu Xing reminded.

On the last page of the school rulebook in the common area of ​​their dormitory, there is a famous quote from the principal of St. Jonis Secondary School.

Mr. Principal seems to have great expectations and enthusiasm for his students, and he is full of confidence in his educational career, so he said: "These birds haven't learned to fly, they are lazy or stupid, I want to The only thing I can do is to take them to the edge of a cliff, push them down one by one, and watch them succeed in flapping their wings or fall to their deaths."

St. Jonis Secondary School is not only a middle school, but also a dump, and a more apt name - Birdcage.

Successfully fluttered.

Or fall to your death.

The falling bird is naturally the part that fell to death.

So what is the meat of the drunken bird? It goes without saying. The difference is that the "falling bird meat" is cooked in the food sold in this window, while other windows basically add raw meat into the dishes.

"Fingers of ghosts, minced meat of unknown creatures..." Yu Xing smiled, "These things are more dangerous than the so-called fallen bird meat. At present, it seems that the food from the fallen bird window is the safest. "

"But that's—" Zhao Yijiu paused, ghosts and humans, it seemed suddenly difficult to choose one of them as food.

"This is a copy, not the real one." Yu Xing reminded him, "Brother Jiu, in places like Dead Island, we still wonder and hesitate whether it is a real world, but the copy carried by the buildings on the island is obviously the copy it once was. A special copy that happened or was distorted, everything in the copy is illusory."

"Rather than saying that the students here are human beings, it is better to say that they are also NPCs, plague bodies, and ghosts in our mouths. The difference is that these ghosts are not conscious of ghosts in this dungeon, they are just for the dungeon. The existences like the background boards are given the title of human beings in this dungeon." He said slowly, "They are not companions, but available resources that allow us to pass the level. For example, at this time, if you eat ghosts If you eat the meat of the falling bird, you can live, would you choose to hesitate because of these plague bodies, which only look the same as us?"

Zhao Yijiu had nothing to say. He vaguely felt that such an idea was dangerous, as if Yu Xing was unknowingly rushing toward the line of degeneration, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the truth was correct. All creatures on the Dead Island, except The plague body is the pollution body, the difference is nothing more than the NPC that may be neutral and the ghost that must be the enemy.

Everything he's going through now is nothing but a trap made by the dungeon to cause panic in their hearts.

"Yu Xing is right. With this experience, next time we can directly buy food from the falling bird window. At least we know what it is." Zhao Mou agreed with this, but he also pointed out Yu Xing's words "But you can't judge whether the food is dangerous based on the premise that the dungeon is full of plague bodies and pollutants. In this way, the faction division of these things in the dungeon becomes meaningless. Yu Xing, I suspect that your way of thinking has been affected to some extent and has not adjusted back."

Zhao Yijiu raised his eyes instantly, and what Zhao Mou said was exactly the same as what he had noticed before, which meant that this matter was not his illusion, but a real existence.

Yu Xing tilted his head and looked at the sandwich in his hand. Except for his unappetizing fingers and a small amount of blood dripping from them, the sandwich was really delicious and the ingredients were clean. He didn't mind it. .

He even ate the water ghost Shi Wei.

It's not that he didn't adjust after being affected, but because his previous experience gave him the capital to not care. Even if the situation forced him to eat meat that shouldn't be eaten by his kind, what does it matter?He has already broken this taboo, he himself is not a pure person——

and many more!

Yu Xing's pupils shrank, and the sudden awakening made his back go numb.

How could he think this way? He hasn't had such a radical idea for a long time. He obviously wants to make himself normal and a complete person. How could he let himself go back to the past? way of thinking...

"I was indeed affected." Yu Xing admitted, with a rare gloomy expression, "But after I went to the island, I obviously didn't experience anything that could change my thinking, heh, I had doubts about one thing before. , I have increased my vigilance for this, but I did not expect to be affected unknowingly, it is really... scary."

"What's the matter?" Wen Qinghuai asked keenly but somewhat puzzled, "I won't continue to ask if it's something inside your team, but if it's related to all the players, I still hope to know more."

"Maybe it's related, maybe it's not. I need to confirm again." Yu Xing didn't tell Wen Qinghuai directly, but gave Zhao Mou a wink. It is related to the information from the experiencer.

Why did they choose the Dead Island? Is it the particularity of the event instance itself, or is there some information that the experiencer team in another timeline wants to tell them, or is it a conspiracy.

After they came to the dead island, they continued to accept new information and settings, only this problem was doubted from the beginning.

After Zhao Mou received Yu Xing's gaze, he realized that Yu Xing might have already had a guess about this issue, and this guess could not be revealed to outsiders, so he had to interrupt the topic.

Zhao Mou changed Yu Xing's conclusion just now: "Let's decide on the issue of food for the time being, and then we will grab the lunch at the window of the falling bird, because in the setting of this copy, the meat of the falling bird is indeed a stable food. Edible things, they are not recognized as a member of the human race, and those successful people who passed the learning test only use this meat as an edible resource. According to the setting of the dungeon, this is something we can eat .”

It's all said and done, no one objected.

Zhao Yijiu, Yu Xing and Wen Qinghuai only need to get rid of the weird ingredients they have received at noon today. As for the solution...

Yu Xing wiped the finger he picked out just now with the paper on the table and put it in his pants pocket.

"Isn't it impossible to waste?" Zhao Yijiu looked at this move, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Shh, you don't tell me, I don't tell you, who can prove that I wasted? And no one saw it." Yu Xing blinked at the crowd, "Just like Director Jin's suggestion, whether it's cheating or anything, as long as you don't If I was discovered, then I didn’t cheat. As long as I hide food without being discovered, then I didn’t hide it, but I ate it clean.”

While talking, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the cafeteria, as if a large group of people were talking and approaching here.

Yu Xing continued: "I guess it was the first day, so we were given a chance to try and make mistakes. We came early, and no one could report even if we did something wrong. Those window partitions that sell food are very low. The chefs at the restaurant can’t see us at all. After that, we will enter the cafeteria with other students. If we are found by other students if we don’t eat food, there is a risk of being discovered by the teacher. After all, no matter how oppressive the environment is, there will always be Those who have broken away from the group and gained privilege at the price of treachery."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yijiu immediately lowered his head and carefully picked out those strange black minced meat. He had already heard the sound of those students approaching the cafeteria. He had to pick out all the minced meat before those students entered the cafeteria. , Wrap it up and hide it. As long as you can complete this step and bring the wrapped things into the dormitory, there are countless ways to destroy the evidence.

Wen Qinghuai had already thought of this when Yu Xing made the movement of hiding things, and the movements were smooth, while Qu Xianqing and Zhao Mou didn't have to be so troublesome at all. Both of them have experienced strong winds and waves. When it was delivered to the mouth, there was no abnormality at all. After all, it was cooked food, and the taste would not be too bad.

Almost as soon as a few people finished making small movements, a large wave of students poured in from the entrance of the cafeteria. They were wearing the same school uniform, and at first glance they had no personal characteristics. Everyone had strange expressions on their faces, numb, tired, And a little bit of eagerness and competition.

They had a clear goal, and the students who ran ahead flocked to the window of the falling bird. Just as Yu Xing and the others speculated, these students seemed to know what was edible and what was not. In the blink of an eye, the falling bird There was a long queue in front of the window.

The people who were left behind all showed disappointment and fear when they saw the too long queue, and lined up to the side as if appointed. If you observe carefully, you can also find that many students are even trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yijiu had some doubts: "Why didn't you identify a line?"

"Not enough time, or not enough quota." This time it was Wen Qinghuai who answered him. "The lunch break is only two hours. If the queue is too far back, they may not have time to eat. Then there is no point for them to come to the cafeteria, and they will be hungry. There are also It may be that the ingredients for each window are limited every day, and students who have eaten experience will know whether they have a chance to grab a meal as soon as they see the length of the queue."

The students were so eager to grab food that no one noticed the five strange faces sitting in the corner for a while, and they were able to observe everyone openly.

Soon, there were students at each window who had prepared meals and found a place to sit. The whole cafeteria was noisy, but the students who lined up in front of the Falling Bird window were very calm, and some of them were acquaintances and chatted with each other.

While the students at other windows were nervous, they seemed to be used to it, and soon put on a bitter face, stuffing food into their mouths with their eyes closed, and secretly glanced around with their eyes.

Finally someone spotted the new classmate in the corner.

Sitting at the table next to Yu Xing's table were six girls who seemed to be on good terms with each other. They all had long brown hair and their faces were all tilted towards the west. Entrance to the cafeteria.

Yu Xing followed and looked over.

A group of students wearing red armbands strutted in, and the noise in the cafeteria that could not be stopped for a second was silenced for a moment because of these few people who came in.

Yu Xing thought, so that's the case.

He also mentioned the betrayer just now, isn't the betrayer coming soon?
