absurd deduction game.

Chapter 836 The Snow Disaster Without Rescue

After seeing the houses of the Dark Star members, the four of them finally started to search for the rooms where "people" lived.

Because the total number of rooms is only ten, and they are not big, and they have plenty of time, there is no need to search separately, otherwise, they have to repeat the information they found, which will be troublesome.

They walked into the room of the woman holding the child nearby.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the woman in the room looked straight at them.

The clothes on the woman's body were not thick enough, it seemed that there was only one layer of sweater and one layer of trousers, and the exposed arms, neck and feet were all red from the cold.

He stared blankly at the door, with a dead silence on his face, as if their figures were imprinted in his eyes.

Zhang Yu's footsteps stopped, his scalp was numb, and it took him two seconds to realize that the woman was not looking at them, but was facing this direction.

The woman was as motionless as a sculpture, with no ups and downs of breathing, just like Yu Xing described to them, like a dummy.

"Are you sure she can't move? Will we startle her if we rummage around in the house." Seeing that Yu Xing had stepped forward, Zhang Yu also moved slowly.

With the captain and boss Hua around, there is still a sense of security, but it’s just like finding a doll sitting in the room when you go to a haunted house, you don’t know when “it” will suddenly pounce on you and scare you .

And facing this woman, he was about to be forced out of the uncanny valley effect.

Yu Xing was reaching out to check the condition of the baby in the woman's arms. He pushed aside the layers of swaddling clothes and saw the face of the dead baby.

And judging from the unfolded fabrics, there was a thin quilt among them—but it was already damaged.

There are also all kinds of torn clothes, layers of torn cloth pieces are stacked together, some are new and some are old, I don't know how long it took the woman to collect them.

Compared with the empty room they picked out, this room has more breath of life. Except that the closet is a little empty, other daily necessities are readily available.

Kettle, mouthwash cup, washbasin, rice bowl, napkins... Looking around, this should be a small nest that has lived for a long time.

"If the previous scene is a reenactment of real events that happened before, then the people in these ten rooms are indeed the residents of the Sleeping Inn." Yu Xing said in a voice that was not too big or too small, but that everyone else could hear , "What the old man in the hall forgot should be what happened before Nanshui Town had no mutation."

"That is to say, in the normal world, there was a very dangerous snowstorm in Nanshui Town, and these people were all the residents who lived in the Sleeping Inn at that time. Until some abnormality happened, the residents died, but their bodies did not Rotten, but turned into something like a puppet that keeps repeating a scene?"

Zhang Yu was thinking while answering the conversation: "If this woman has lived in this room for a long time, can it be considered? When it is very cold, they can only regard this place as a home."

"I still remember that on the system page of the event registration, the description of Nanshui Town was that there was no sun for several months." Lan Wu asked while looking through the drawers of the cabinet, "What if the mutation only happened for a few months?" , Does it conflict with the time you see now?"

"The flow rate between real and false is ten to one. Since there is such a time difference, maybe there is also a time difference between the outside world and the inside of Nanshui Town?" Hua Subai was inconvenient to move because of his baggy clothes, so the old god stood on the ground against the wall , paddling aboveboard.

He looked at the figures of the other three people who were knocking and turning around, and squinted comfortably: "The months in other places are actually decades in the interior of Nanshui Town. It's not impossible."

Lan without hesitation: "That's it."

"But there must be a reason for the difference in time flow rate. Either the environment is different, such as the ground and the catacombs, and the time may be deviated due to the condensation of underground Yin Qi." Yu Xing pulled out a necklace from under the pillow, "Or just It is also reasonable to think of truth and falsehood at different times.”

"But now, what we know is that the real time passes faster than the fake time, so that we have the opportunity to complete the task ahead of time and leave before the arrival of seven days."

"But if the outside world is a few months and the town is more than ten years old, it means that the normal outside world is slower than the mutated inner world. Of course, there is no problem in other deduction, but here, it is just the opposite of the real and false time flow. .”

"If there is no reason, I can't think of any reason why there will be two completely opposite time results in the same place."

Yu Xing said, looking at the necklace in his hand.

The heavy necklace seems to be made of gold, and the golden chain has not lost its luster in this case. The pendant below is a small oval gold shell photo frame that can be opened. When the button is pressed, the cover pops open, revealing the inside A photo of a family of three.

The photo has faded, and the original freshness cannot be seen, which makes the people in the photo have a weather-beaten atmosphere.

A man in a wheelchair is in the center of the photo, holding a baby in his arms. The woman behind the man is radiant, with her hands on the back of the wheelchair, and she and the man are facing the camera with a bright smile.

Although the man's legs are sick, just judging from this photo, the couple has a very good relationship, and whether they are a man or a woman, their clothes are extremely exquisite, and the woman wears a jade bracelet on her wrist.

Yu Xing was silent for a while, and turned the photo to the woman sitting by the bed.

The woman's face gradually overlapped with the face in the photo, which is really unimaginable. This haggard and numb person in front of him used to be so well-dressed, had his own love, and had money.

This gold necklace is not cheap either.

But now, women live in small hotel rooms, the pots and pans are outdated, and the dust and stains in many places have not been cleaned, making them dirty and messy.

"Captain, do you want to take this necklace?" Zhang Yu leaned over.

Yu Xing gave him the necklace: "Can you tell whether the man in the photo is important or not?"

Zhang Yu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Probably possible, but I didn't just look at the photos, I had to look for clues."

Something like data flashed in his eyes: "There are no items related to men in this room, which means that the woman was not accompanied by a man when she lived here, and her husband was not with her."

"But she put the necklace under the pillow, which shows that she cherishes this photo very much. According to this behavior, she still loves her husband and misses him very much."

"Look here again." Zhang Yu pointed to a scrap of fabric that clearly belonged to a man's pants under the baby's swaddle, "Look, this piece of fabric is the same color and texture as the pants worn by the man in the photo, I guess it should be the same piece .”

"Therefore, the possibility of her husband cheating is extremely low, and there is a 70.00% probability that he has passed away." Zhang Yu rubbed his chin, "And the woman died before she stayed in the Sleeping Inn, so what happened in the hotel has nothing to do with this man. It doesn't matter, generally speaking, I tend to think that this man is not important to our mission, but just a kind of spiritual sustenance for this lady when she is alive."

"Since it's not important, you don't need to take it away, and this thing..." Yu Xing silently stuffed the necklace back under the pillow, "The system didn't say that the scene that reappears once an hour will not change. She didn't knock on my phone last time. door, but if I take her necklace, it is not certain whether she will shift her target to knock on another door next time."

Don't take things when you have nothing to do. This is also a lesson that can be learned in many deduction. The most important thing is that this thing is useless. If you take it and attract hatred, it is really unnecessary.

The three of them plus Hua Subai, who was watching the whole process of paddling, quickly finished the woman's room. With the professional counterpart Zhang Yu present, it was basically certain that no clues were missed.

In addition to the necklace, they also found an IOU. It was a man named Sun Yunyun who borrowed half a catty of rice from a woman.

Without wasting time, they went to Xiao Yangyang's room again.

To be honest, it was unimaginable for a boy in his early ten years to live alone in a hotel, and the display in the room made people feel a little pity for the child.

A child's room is much simpler than a woman's room, and everything is placed in a relatively low place. Except for some daily necessities, most of them are all kinds of small toys.

All the clothes and quilts in the room were all piled up on the bed, turning this miserable wooden bed into a small nest.

The child was sitting on the open space in the middle of the room, and its deterrent effect was much lower than that of the previous woman.

And they all already know that in the scene, the child kindly opened the door and gave the woman some things, but unfortunately, he was strangled to death by the stimulated woman. A typical good man has no good rewards.

"He should live with his parents." Lan Wu saw several pairs of shoes at the bottom of the empty closet. There were men's leather shoes and women's cotton shoes, and there was one standing upright behind the door. suitcase.

This should mean that the child came with his parents when he moved to the hotel, and the parents should have prepared and packed some things.

"Even if it was there before, it's gone now." Hua Subai stood in front of the cabinet, looking at the many sundries that would rather be piled on the floor than on the table, and picked up a small wave drum, "Everything is below, It is a height that is convenient for children to take, and it is impossible if there are adults around."

As he turned the drum stick, the small balls on both sides of the wave drum beat back and forth.

Given the development level of Nanshui Town, children's toys are all very old things, such as wave drums, bamboo dragonflies, or some weird gadgets that have been eliminated elsewhere, but the town still finds them novel.

"Well, Boss Hua is right. The child's parents must be gone. Children in their teens don't like rattles. There are many toys beside them that are much more interesting than rattles." Zhang Yu glanced, "Then So I put the wave drum in the most conspicuous place because I miss my parents."

The wave drum is a little childish for a teenager, but it is just right for the flower boss who doesn't know how old he is.

He didn't want to let go after shaking it, so the whole room was filled with the sound of thumping.

Yu Xing, who was picking up scraps of newspaper on the ground, pushed his glasses patiently: "The child's parents are indeed dead. A girl mentioned it in the reappearance scene. Did you guys even hear it?"

Zhang Yu: "..."

Lan Wu: "..."

Hua Subai: Boom, boom, boom, boom.

"I'm sorry, captain, you know my situation at that time. My brain is almost frozen. I really can't pay attention to the sound in the corridor, especially when there are many people behind, the sound is too noisy." Zhang Yu coughed dryly, took Pick up the transparent tape, "Do you want to glue the newspaper?"

No matter at any time, a newspaper is an item that contains a huge amount of information, because newspapers are time-sensitive and have many words.

The children cut the newspaper out of boredom and played origami. Although their hands-on ability is not very good, and they don’t know what they folded, it saves them the trouble of finding a piece of paper in a room full of miscellaneous things.

It was also the only newspaper in the entire room.

The entire newspaper was cut too fragmented, and it took about 5 minutes for Zhang Yu to put it together bit by bit.

It is convenient to flip through after it is glued. The cheap touch, faded ink printing and old typography all give people a feeling that it is not too old.

This is a "Chaowen Daily", not a local newspaper in a small town. The newspaper publishes big and small news from all over the world, and there are serial novels on the side column on the last side.

But that didn't matter, because the relevant reports about the snow disaster in Nanshui Town were printed on the headlines of the front page.

"...At present, all the roads leading to Nanshui Town are blocked by heavy snow, and the people in the town have been out of contact for three days. The local area is racing against time to launch access operations, trying to open up a safe evacuation route for the people in the town."

"...There is no scientific explanation for the blizzard in this area, because the scope of the snowstorm is limited to Nanshui Town and its surrounding forests, so the meteorological department failed to predict and estimate in advance..."

"...The port located in the eastern district of Nanshui Town is currently closed. Because the water surface around the port is covered by thick ice, ships have to detour..."

"...The only good news we can know so far is that Nanshui Town has sufficient food reserves, and the town will not be closed due to short-term heavy snow, causing the people to fall into famine."

The report on the headlines was fairly detailed, and looked at the snow disaster from the perspective of other areas outside Nanshui Town. In addition to the headlines in other places in the newspaper, Yu Xing also found several missing persons notices about Nanshui Town.

He paid special attention, and there was no news about the disappearance of the tour group in Nanshui Town.

In other words, the time when their tour group entered the town was not in the same range as the time when the snowstorm occurred in Nanshui Town.

This allowed him to have a clearer division of the timeline.

Snow disasters and reports seem to be in the same era as Baibao Street; while tour groups are in the same era as the modernized towns outside Baibao Street.

The only abrupt thing in that modern town can be said to be Fangfu. Besides Fangfu, who else is called "Fu" in modern times.

Moreover, the timeline of Fangfu is the most vague. When Fang Deming was young, that is, when his eldest son Fang Xiao was still young, there were still gangs in the port.

The dress worn by Mingzhu’s sister-in-law from the big city is also a bit like the style that was popular in the 90s in reality, or even earlier.

Of course, the worldview is different, which is not good.

But now, there are hospitals, schools, and bus stops outside the town. Residents in the town wear modern clothes, although they are old-fashioned—but they must be modern clothes. Only the guide Gao Yiling wears her favorite school uniform from the Republic of China.

But according to the letter and the information disclosed by the townspeople when they mentioned Fang's mansion, Fang Xiao only married Mingzhu's sister-in-law for a few years, and Fang Deming is still alive.

Can a town change so much in just a few years?In other words, can the development level of this world directly make a leap in just a few years?

It's just that the time here in Fangfu is not right, and it feels disconnected, just like watching countless high-rise buildings suddenly built in two or three years during the period of the Republic of China.

However, the Fang Mansion in the minds of the townspeople is very reasonable.

Yu Xing faintly felt that the contradiction was here, but they couldn't be connected. He still needed a key that could make all the conditions reasonable and smooth.

"Don't force yourself to think so much." Hua Subai walked over from behind at some point, put an arm around Yu Xing's neck and put it on Yu Xing's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Isn't it better to let nature take its course? You even You still don't know which evil god is causing the current situation in Nanshui Town, so how can you directly understand his ability?"

Yu Xing was caught off guard by a big red moth, and the long red sleeves directly covered half of his body.

He frowned and brushed people away: "...don't get so close."

"What's the matter... are we still good friends? Isn't it normal for boys to play hands and feet!" Hua Subai raised his hand jokingly, this shameless look almost made Yu Xing harden his fist .

"Red eyes." He patted the non-existent gray on the shoulder unmoved, "Also, it is more difficult to guard against the sneak attack of 'friends', especially you."

Not only did she hide the secrets related to the actor, she probably deserved his wrath, and she also had a criminal record of deceiving him into accepting flowers.

"So you admitted that we are still friends." Hua Subai raised his chin proudly, "Well, nothing else matters, if you don't let us get close, don't let us get close."

Yu Xing: "Chick."

Lan Wu at the side glanced at them in surprise, and whispered to Zhang Yu, "Aren't they friends from the beginning?"

Along the way, it was simply a way of getting along with friends.

Moreover, among their deducers, many friends who boasted that they had a good relationship could not achieve such trust in the deduction dungeon, and they would even hide information from each other when they got information.

For some people, friends are worth nothing before survival.

But this is not the case with Lan Wuwang, Yu Xing and Boss Hua. Doesn't this mean that the two have a deep friendship?

Zhang Yu didn't dare to speculate: "I don't know, this is the first time I know Boss Youhua."

There were no other clues in Xiaoyangyang's room, so they put the pasted newspaper back beside the motionless child and went to the third room.

A pair of brothers lived in the third small room, they should be twins from the appearance.One of them was lying on the bed, and the other was sitting at the table. The lying leg was covered with a thin layer of bandages. There was a faint smell of medicine under the bandages, obviously injured.

The one sitting in front of the table was wearing a pair of glasses, and looked very scholarly, and his fixed movements were also writing something on a notebook with a pen, with a pure and harmless appearance.

But Yu Xing did not forget that in the reappearance scene, the guy wearing glasses was full of righteous indignation at the woman, with a distorted ferocious face, and he was also one of the few people who worked hard when he grabbed the sweater.

These two people seem to be from the medical hall. From the items in their room, many elements related to the medical hall can be found. There is even a bag of medicinal materials hidden in the corner.

The man with glasses was writing the account book, and the two brothers seemed to still do some medical work for other residents after staying in the hotel-of course, the price was more expensive than before.

How many grams of medicinal materials have been paid, what diseases have been treated, and what resources are exchanged, all are clearly listed in the account book. I have to say that this person has a good handwriting. The handwriting is not only clear, but also neat and stable. Unbelievable that this was written by a man in a difficult situation with sore hands.

"These two should be living a good life. They even have ink storage." Zhang Yu opened the drawer and couldn't help but sigh.

There is still a lot of food in the cabinet on the other side, including rice, noodles, and even frozen meat.

"By the way, there is no place to start a fire in these houses. How do they cook?" Zhang Yu scratched his head and asked himself, "Oh, is the hotel cooking uniformly? Give the ingredients to the old man at the door, and then the old man cooks. meal."

Although the old man struggles to move even now, it probably wasn't like that at the time. As the owner of the entire hotel, if he had been so powerless, once these residents were in a desperate situation, they would have turned the hotel upside down.

"Look over here, there's another ledger here."

Lan Wu was searching for a place next to the bed, and he pulled out a deeply hidden notebook from the arms of the lying person.

After opening it, I realized that this is not a ledger, but a diary.

...a diary that is recorded more casually.

The diary is not written with a brush, but crooked charcoal pens, with uneven handwriting. Although it can be seen that the writer has practiced calligraphy skills, the diary writer does not seem to have the steady hand and heart of his brother.

There is no date marked on each page. It seems that I just write it when I think of it. A paragraph is the content of a day. The handwriting gets messier as it goes to the back.

"Sometimes when I see him get so many supplies, I feel happy and uneasy. The price is really too high. We take advantage of people's danger like this, which is contrary to my father's teaching."

"Today, an old lady was rejected by him because she had no money for medical treatment. I really wanted him not to be so heartless, but now I can't do anything... I can only lie on the bed like a useless person, what qualifications do I have to replace her?" He's soft-hearted, if it wasn't for my leg being injured, he wouldn't need to worry about the supplies for the two of them."

"The old lady died. I didn't dare to look at her body, so I could only watch as everyone buried the old lady behind the hotel."

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but in the middle of the night last night I heard the sound of someone opening the door and going out, just in the corridor, today I saw a tailor make a new vest for his daughter, but the color of the vest is very similar to that of an old lady's clothes... Probably not."

"Today, he showed Sun Yunyun frostbite, and he asked for a catty of rice. I know Sun Yunyun has nothing to eat. She went out to find supplies several times, but she never snatched this group of elders. A catty of rice, really You can't be so black-hearted."

"Recently, people seem to be dying every day, from freezing to death. Counting the days, we have been here for half a year, and the supplies we had at the beginning have all been exhausted. The snow is getting thicker and thicker. Has the town been abandoned?"

"It was discovered that the tailor stole the dead man's clothes, just as I thought. His daughter seems to be going crazy, yes, it's not too bad to wear so many things dug from the grave for so long. It’s easy to accept. But at a time like this, it’s good to be alive, who cares about it, at least I’m so cold every day, I’ll wear it if I am.”

"These people are crazy!"

"Today, the tailor's daughter was running around in the corridor, crazy, with a knife in her hand. These people were frightened, and they worked together to throw the tailor's daughter out of the hotel, and... since the tailor was beaten by the family members of the dead in the middle of the night Death, taking the clothes of the dead has become an obvious thing, but you can't take the clothes of the living!"

"He's crazy too. I saw with my own eyes that he mixed poison into the medicine prescribed to Uncle Huang. What is he going to do!"

"He doesn't look like my younger brother at all. I'm afraid of him. Even when I write, I can only write secretly behind his back. I don't think he looks right at me. Doesn't it make him feel dissatisfied that I dominate the bed? He Don't you want to take care of me anymore?"

"Everyone is crazy, maybe I'm crazy too, they can go outside to find supplies, I can only stay in this cramped small room, like lying in a coffin ahead of time."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"He wanted to suffocate me with a quilt, but the shop owner saw it. The shop owner's eyes were very sad, but I knew this day would come."

"Why am I not dead yet?"

"Why am I not dead yet?"

"how do I……"

There is only the repeated sentence in the back, and the strokes are getting more and more messy, until the words are not recognizable at the end.

The atmosphere is a bit suffocating, and through these crazy words, it seems that we can get a glimpse of that dark time.

"His younger brother didn't kill him for some reason in the end." Zhang Yu muttered, looking at the back of the figure sitting at the table, "Is it because of conscience or reluctance?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable. Didn't he see a doctor and sell medicine at a high price to provide better supplies for his injured brother, but later he felt that his brother was a burden and it wasn't worth it." Lan Wu took a long breath and closed his eyes.

Yu Xing said: "He was already begging to die, but his brother didn't let him die."

The indifferent tone without any touch woke up the two young people from their heavy hearts. Yu Xing took the diary and turned back a few pages.

Sun Yunyun was mentioned in the diary. Sun Yunyun didn't have much food, and he had to hand over a catty of rice to see a doctor.

It is not surprising that she would borrow half a catty of rice from a woman.

The first incident of snatching the clothes of the living and throwing them out happened to the tailor's daughter. This girl is quite pitiful. She wore the clothes of the dead without knowing it and was frightened. In the middle of the night, her father was killed again.

When a girl is driven crazy, others can throw her out as an excuse to protect their own safety, but if they rob her of her clothes and throw her into the icy world outside, that means they won't even have a way out.

The residents at that time had already distorted their minds in the difficult living environment, and began to go crazy and perverted.

The reason why the younger brother poisoned "Uncle Huang" is temporarily unknown.

The twin brothers who injured their legs thought that they had lived in the hotel for more than half a year and had not waited for rescue from the outside world. Is it because of the supernatural power that the snowstorm really cut off Nanshui Town from the outside world forever, or did the outside world rescue them? A few days, but half a year has passed for the residents?
In addition, during the period of the last few pages of the diary, the twin brothers finally planned to do something to the elder brother, but they failed. Afterwards, the twin brothers wanted to die, but the younger brother refused to let him die.

The turning point is that the shop owner saw the twin brothers doing their hands.

Because he was seen, how could he not let his brother die?Is the twin brother afraid of something?What does the shop owner mean to these residents...?
store owner.

Not surprisingly, the owner of the shop back then was the old man in the hall now.

It's a pity the old man doesn't remember anything.

[It's almost one o'clock! 】

Suddenly, the branch that he left in the hall to keep an eye on the time sent him a reminder in his consciousness.

[It's 57:57, it's [-]:[-]. 】

While watching Yu Xing turn the pages back and listening to him muttering to himself, the three of them saw Yu Xing close the diary and stuff it back into his twin brother's arms without hesitation, and said decisively, "Go back to the room."

"It's time!" Seeing Yu Xing nodding, Zhang Yu immediately ran out, ran into his room and closed the door in one go.

This is what they have already agreed. Once Yu Xing said to go back to the room, the others should not hesitate to go back immediately, because Yu Xing didn't have much time left for them, and if they were slower, they would have to bear the consequences.

The figures of Lan Wu and Hua Subai disappeared in the corridor on the other side, and the two casual companions of An Xing seemed to have returned to the room early.

Yu Xing closed the twins' door, went back to the room and lay down, waiting for the reappearance of the scene that started at one o'clock in the morning.

The time jumped from second to second, and the hour hand in the hall pointed to the hour. At that moment, the familiar cold feeling spread again, and the empty room took a few more breaths.

Those "people" who don't know what kind of existence they are are like rewinding the replay, and the exact same scene is staged, from the woman's mourning to the child's death, the blood spreads, the cold covers, and then everyone pushes open the door...

"Who of you stole my medicine!"

The roar that was different from the previous round attracted Yu Xing's attention. He let out the branches to spread his vision, and saw a tall man with an angry face, standing in the center before everyone accused the woman, his red eyes caught everyone's attention. Glared again.

There was a huge wound on his left arm, which was wrapped in a bandage, and a faint red smudged from the wound.

"Who has entered my room! That is the anti-inflammatory medicine I gave to the wound. My wound is infected! Who stole it! Hand it over to me!"

The strong man was so angry that he punched the wall next to him, and the shell of the wall cracked a little.

"Blacksmith, I seem to see..." Someone in the crowd pointed hesitantly to the room belonging to Chen Run, "It seems that someone in this room has taken your medicine."

Hearing this, the strong blacksmith immediately walked over there aggressively, and the others re-entered the rhythm of scrambling for women's clothes, only the blacksmith deviated.

Little did he know that Chen Run in the room was already terrified.

While resisting the illusion that every part of his body seemed to be frozen off, he was trying to listen to the sounds from the outside world.

Last time, it was because he was too focused on enduring the severe cold that he had no impression of what happened in the corridor at all, and missed a lot of plots. Now he only has one reliable teammate, and both of them must grasp every plot well.

Unexpectedly, I heard a rough voice asking where the medicine was with anger.

His heart sank with a thud, and when he heard the blacksmith's undisguised footsteps getting closer and closer until they stopped at the door of his room, his heartbeat had already stepped up to a high speed.

How could he be mentioned when the scene reappeared? !
Shouldn't the memory of these people be fixed!

At the time when the scene reappeared, there should be no one in the room he was in, let alone whoever said he saw him take the medicine, how could he see it!When he searched, these people were clearly unconscious!
Fuck!
He couldn't sit up again, so he could only move his fingers with all his strength, and threw a blood-stained glass ball by the door.

After the glass ball hit the ground, it stood still in place like a rock, unfolding a special position, making the simple room door and door frame fit perfectly.

In the next second, the blacksmith slapped the door with his palm!
There was a loud bang, and the wooden door shook. Chen Run suspected that without his sacrifice, the door would have been smashed to pieces by the blacksmith.

"Open the door!"

The blacksmith's voice is like a devil's urging sound when his movements are restricted. If he is in another place, how can he, as a deducer, be afraid of a "person" who is just a little stronger?
Even if the opponent is a ghost, any struggler with combat ability can solve it!
Just in this case.

Chen Run finally knew why the rules gave them such a harsh behavior limit.

The glass ball vibrated behind the door with the sound of the blacksmith's slamming on the door, but luckily it could persist for a while.

He silently prayed in his heart that the farce outside would end soon, just like the first time, when the woman was pushed out of the corridor by others, everything should be reset.

Once he entered the stage of free action, he would definitely return the blacksmith's medicine to its original position as soon as possible.

At that time, he found the bottle of medicine under the guidance of the post-it note posted by the blacksmith, because the post-it note said that the bottle of medicine could help heal wounds.

The blacksmith's room is full of post-it notes. He seems to have a poor memory, so he needs to write down notes to remind himself of what to do and where to put things.

Chen Run sensed the smell of the prop from the bottle of medicine, and thought it was a prop that the deducer could take away. After all, it was like this in many deduction, and the props found belonged to them.

The system didn't give him prop reminders, and he didn't care. It's not like he hasn't experienced the thing of waiting until the end of the mission to introduce props or sacrifice panels.

I didn't expect that taking away the blacksmith's medicine would have such serious consequences.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Chen Run muttered frantically in his heart, he could already hear those people pulling the woman's arm, because the woman kept crying that her arm hurt so much that she was about to be pulled off.

The next move should be... scrambling for the woman's sweater, and then dragging the woman all the way and throwing her out!

The scrambling link, which was ignored before, became extremely slow at this time. People outside talked to each other, arguing about who should get the clothes this time.

Everyone is shouting cold.

Chen Run, who felt that he was about to freeze to death, also felt very cold.

He almost forgot where he was, and thought he was a fish in the freezer, about to be frozen to death and slaughtered.

"boom!"

There was an extra crack in the glass ball, and the blacksmith's anger didn't abate at all, but instead became more intense because of Chen Run's silence.

This precarious crack made Chen Run wake up suddenly from the illusion. He tilted his head in horror, and as the glass ball cracked, a crack appeared in the door!
He thought dully, the door won't last.

The blacksmith will come in soon, and the other party will definitely drag him out of the bed, and then he will be finished.

The noise in the corridor continued, and now it was time for everyone to clamor to expel the woman.

"Crack-"

There are more and more cracks on the glass ball, and it may fall to pieces in the next second.

Chen Run heard the sound of a group of people dragging something.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

"Crack-"

When the sphere was about to shatter, Chen Run couldn't care about anything else, as long as he could hold on for another 20 seconds, the scene would be reset and he would be able to live!

"Wait!" He kept lying down and shouted loudly, "Don't smash it, I'll return the medicine to you right now!"

The knocking on the door stopped abruptly.

Chen Run was delighted, and continued to delay time: "Don't smash my door! I'm going to freeze to death without the door. I'm sorry, I'm getting medicine. I'll give you some food compensation, please. Don't knock on the door!"

The woman is being dragged down the hallway, approaching the end of the reenactment of the scene.

The blacksmith outside the door suddenly laughed.

"So you're awake."

There was a sound from the doorknob, and immediately after, the glass ball hadn't shattered, but the door of the room was opened without hindrance.

The glass ball behind the door rolled back toward him, Chen Run blinked and saw that the glass ball was as smooth as new.

No cracks at all!

There was no crack on the door...the door either.

The brain that was frozen to the point of dullness suddenly woke up in panic, and Chen Run realized that it was an illusion!

It was hallucinations that made him think the door was about to burst open.

And the system told them that when doing this side mission...

[Once it is found that you have not "fallen asleep", it will be considered a violation. 】

He took the initiative to speak and was discovered.

Because of the violation, the blacksmith opened his room without hindrance, and even his glass ball props could not resist this rule.

The burly body of the blacksmith appeared behind the opened door, and the corridor seemed like a world of blood.

"No, no, you can't..." Chen Run's spirit was so tense that he even used the few steps from the blacksmith to the wooden bed to compare with the time when the woman was thrown out.

"You didn't sleep." Unlike the rage just now, the blacksmith's expression at this time was a little different from the blacksmith himself, more like a strange butcher, approaching with a purpose when he found the lamb that violated the regulations.

Chen Run's pupils constricted and he activated the life-saving sacrifice on his body, but the blacksmith's hand passed through the energy of the sacrifice and grabbed his neckline.

"No! Let me go!" Chen Run let out a desperate roar, and was grabbed by the blacksmith without any resistance.

He was thrown to the ground.

At this moment, some kind of protection shattered, and the blood in the corridor rushed towards him.

"what--!!!"

He screamed.

After the cry, everything was quiet.

Chen Run's eyes widened, watching the blood seeping into the ground, the burly blacksmith disappeared, and everything in the corridor was empty.

After being stunned for half a minute, he realized that the cold had subsided from his body at some point.

Catch up, just a little bit.

He... he survived!

……

Yu Xing witnessed this scene and narrowly escaped death, so he took the branch back thoughtfully.

The man was lucky.

At that time, this person suddenly shouted and begged for mercy, did he see some kind of hallucination?
It seems that hallucinations are not limited to freezing.
