absurd deduction game.

The makeshift torch had gone out.

Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru walked side by side. The former pushed aside a bunch of bushes in front of him and stared silently at the strange moonlight that had gathered at an unknown time.

The route they took was unusual, deviating from almost every place that could be called a road. Every step they took stepped on the dirt that was entangled with tree roots or filled with dead branches and leaves.

Zhao Ruru's feet bled because she stepped on something sharp. Fortunately, she had long been accustomed to the slight pain. She picked two large leaves and wrapped her feet carelessly to make simple shoes, then continued. Followed by Zhao Yijiu, who didn't know how to care about women.

Amidst the ringing of bells from time to time, the small bloody footprints led them all the way.

Surrounded by dense woods, the trees were tall and lush, and their trunks blocked most of the light from the sky. Therefore, they did not notice the change in the moonlight until they walked some distance and the arrangement of the trees became sparse.

It was at this moment that Zhao Yijiu took the initiative to extinguish the torch.

The bloody footprints also mysteriously disappeared.

At the end where the footprints disappeared, a section of moonlight took over the duty of guiding the way. After that, the darkness and bloodiness on the road disappeared, leaving only a dreamy road that was so beautiful and disturbing.

They also received the collective mission, not long after entering the forest.

Knowing that Yu Xing's disappearance was not without reason, Zhao Yijiu only muttered, "It's okay, I knew he wouldn't be stupid," and followed with a little calmness.

But the pace of the two is still not slow.

Yu Xing should have gone to the Yeshui Yizhuang mentioned in the mission first. The reason should be related to the coffin-shaped goods.

They thought that Yu Xing would be walking very slowly with such a big thing and would be overtaken by them soon.

Unexpectedly, nearly half an hour passed, and the two of them still didn't see Yu Xing's figure.

They have arrived at an open space and can see far ahead - the light path extends up the mountain, getting higher and higher as they go back, and their line of sight is stretched infinitely.

This means that Yu Xing is at least half a mountain ahead of them...unless Yu Xing deviates from the light path while walking, so the small figure is mixed in the darkness on both sides of the light path.

Otherwise it's too fast.

This side is on the shady side of the mountain, and is extremely steep. In many places, you have to use your hands and feet to climb up, and it makes you tremble when you look back.

Did Yu Xingde fly there? !

Of course, there is another explanation. Zhao Yijiao and Zhao Ruru have both thought of it, but they can only keep it in their hearts and cannot say it out loud.

——Yu Xing may not be in the same dimension as them.

This kind of thing is very common in deductions. Whether it is the time dimension or the space dimension, after certain conditions are triggered, a team will be separated. Now this situation seems to be corresponding, in case they have caught up with Yu Xing , but what if they can’t see each other?
But if you think about it this way, there are too many possibilities.

Once darkness falls, the atmosphere in the mountains can quickly change.

It was as if under the shroud of darkness, the mountains that were still pretty and pleasant during the day would shift invisibly, forming a completely unfamiliar space.

But there is no evidence for this conjecture.

Zhao Yijiu used the extinguished torch stick in his hand to break all the branches and leaves that were stretched out around him, while speeding up his pace.

Perhaps, if you want to reunite with Yu Xing again, you have to rush to Yeshui Yizhuang first.

Judging from the route suggested by the moonlight, Yizhuang seemed to be located at the top of their mountain, somewhat off the route to Fengtou Town on their map.

I'm afraid that after completing the side mission, they will have to return the same way they came and bring back the supplies and horses they left behind in the forest. ——Why not come on horseback?

Firstly, because those horses were very afraid of Guijiu and would not let him sit on him. Secondly, when they chased him out, they never thought that they would need to migrate on foot in the middle of the night.

Guijiu sneered many times in his heart, scolding those who built the Yizhuang on the top of the mountain half to death.

Yizhuang is a place for parking corpses. In such a big mountain, not only at the foot of the mountain, but at least in the middle of the mountain, you have to find a relatively spacious location, right?
What idiot decided to build it on the top of a mountain, so that people could carry the corpse up the mountain for exercise, or to let the corpse go up the mountain on its own for rehabilitation after death?

Zhao Ruru, who was walking beside him, glanced at him inadvertently and vaguely saw a screen of swear words in his cynical yet irritated eyes.

Zhao Ruru: "..." Your resentment is even more outrageous than the ghosts secretly spying on us on the left and right. No wonder they just follow us and don't come to find trouble.

With anger rising in his heart, Zhao Yijiu went faster and faster, and Zhao Ruru found it difficult to keep up.

She had no choice but to grab Zhao Yijiao's pants and start a discussion in a very reasonable manner: "Inugami, my body is very delicate. You are rushing forward like a wild beast. How can I follow you?"

"I immediately let go of my strength and rolled down the mountain. I'm afraid you won't cry as fast as I die."

Zhao Yijiu raised his eyebrows.

From what I heard, I wanted him to carry it.

Because the mountain road was too steep, he could not carry Zhao Ruru like before, so the girl was confident and not afraid of him at all.

"Come up." He was also very decisive. "Next time you think of a way to avoid delaying things, you can tell me earlier."

Zhao Ruru successfully climbed onto Zhao Yijiu's back. The relief of not having to climb the mountain by herself made her take a deep breath. While relaxing her aching legs, she retorted: "But this is very humiliating. I won't do it unless I have to." Speak out."

Fine.

Zhao Yijiu clicked his tongue.

After that, their climbing efficiency indeed became higher.

A mysterious force pulled them along the moonlit road. Even if there were some twists and turns, there would be a voice in Zhao Yijiu's heart constantly urging him, telling him to go around a little bit. , you must act according to the prompts.

This kind of power was not strong enough to affect him. Just when he wanted to walk in a straight line, Zhao Ruru, who could also feel this kind of power, tapped his shoulder vaguely to express his objection.

In this situation, Zhao Ruru is always more rational than him.

Guijiu is very self-aware. In order not to cause trouble when he wants to rush for time, he still obeys the prompting thoughts in his heart.

The two of them moved very quickly, and after more than 40 minutes, they were close to the top of the mountain.

Along the way, they still didn't see Yu Xing.

The Moonlight Road turned a corner and led Zhao Yijiu to a small road paved with some stone steps. This road can clearly see the traces of man-made creation. The weeds are much sparser than on both sides and do not block the road. stones and trees.

He stood on the stone steps, looked up, and could vaguely see a corner of the building.

Just like this, smoothly and without any obstacles...Yizhuang arrived.

Because of this, the weirdness of this mission has increased.
