Chapter 34: Alice's Hell (5) - Corpse Researcher
The taste was very light at first, but from the moment he was caught by Yu Xing, he focused on it, and the taste became stronger and stronger.
It's a bit pungent, mixed with the smell of antiseptic, fresheners and other chemicals, which is even a little familiar to Yu Xing.
His brow furrowed under his mask: "Do you smell it?" ”
"What's that?" The gambler was stunned when he heard this, and when he heard that he had made a discovery, he tried to smell it, "It doesn't smell like anything." ”
"No, there is." Yu Xing let go of his brow and looked around.
From the observation deck, he could barely make out the outlines of all the surrounding buildings, and a nerve in his head was touched by the smell: "It's the smell of a potion." ”
As soon as the words fell, on the right side of the observation deck, on the third floor corridor on the other end of the kitchen, there was a sudden screeching sound.
The gambler immediately reacted quickly and crouched down, hiding his body behind the fence, and looking through the gap in the fence towards the place where the noise came out - in fact, this did not hide his figure, but it was not completely useless.
When he glanced at his temporary companion, he found that Yuki's reaction was no slower than his, and he had already hidden in the corner of the observation deck, which was least visible to the left and right, revealing only an upturned phoenix eye behind the crescent-shaped hollow of the mask, reflecting a pale golden glow in the light.
"Squeak-" Another ugly scrape drew the gambler's gaze, and this time he also smelled the smell of the potion that Yu Xing said, and had the illusion that he had come to the chemistry laboratory.
And the grinding sound was very regular, like a piece of hard metal slashing against the wall with the pace of something.
Yu Xing covered his throat in discomfort, smelling this smell, he probably knew whose corresponding ghost was walking in the corridor on the third floor opposite.
Most likely his own.
As soon as the thought fell, a huge figure slowly walked out of the shadows on the opposite side.
The third floor is a curved structure as a whole, and the wall is not for a while, at this time, the observation deck can reflect the outline of a semi-circular corridor, which is generally covered by the wall, and only half of the fence is left half a person high, so that it is convenient for visitors to look at the kitchen on the second floor from the third floor.
The process of a thing walking from the shadows behind the wall to the place shrouded in a dim light was quite shocking, at least it made the gambler whisper "tsk", and Yu Xing also raised his eyebrows.
The first thing that came into their sight was a thick pipe, the color of which was indistinct, rising in the air at a semi-circular angle, wriggling in small increments, like a living thing.
The outside of the pipe is covered with a layer of sharp metal teeth, presumably caused by the teeth colliding with the wall.
After that, a muscular zombie in a white coat and more than two meters tall walked out in two seconds. Its appearance is extremely ugly, its body is unbalanced, a pair of shoulder blades are exaggeratedly protruding, its limbs are extremely thick, its muscles are vertical and horizontal, and many blood vessels are just growing outside the skin.
The metal-like pipes grew on the back of the big zombie, setting off its already burly body even more hugely.
Yu Xing estimated it, I'm afraid that one of the zombie's arms is as thick as his waist, this thing is different from the cryer, it is full of deterrence at first glance, extremely dangerous, and the kind that can knock out human brains with a slap.
[You have found the "Corpse Researcher", the ghost notice has been updated]
Corpse Researcher......
Yu Xing pursed his lips, and his guess was confirmed.
This was indeed his own corresponding ghost, the old white coat on the big zombie, which was worn by the people in the Lingren's research institute who were pointing outside his container all day.
The pipe was the huge pipe used to transport the breath that transformed his body, and the smell of the potion was something he smelled all the time when he soaked in the glass container—he was wrapped in the reddish chemical liquid, and he never left the liquid except when he was pulled out to slice, draw blood, and perform a physical examination.
No wonder it smells familiar...... Even though many years have passed, smelling this smell again still easily evokes Yu Xing's memory.
"Smell ......" As the two deducers poked and observed, the corpse researcher suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was dull, and it was so thick that it had its own mix.
The gambler was taken aback: "My day, such a fierce thing, there won't be sanity, right?" What the hell got such a thing out, it's too perverted! ”
I don't know if he is talking about the resentful corpse researcher who looks so strong that he is perverted or the person it corresponds to is perverted, Yu Xing touched his nose, as if he had been condemned.
The next moment, the corpse researcher turned his head straight in the direction of the observation deck and yelled, "Smell! The taste of the experiment! Two! ”
At this moment, Yu Xing saw clearly its face, which he hadn't looked at carefully.
This face...... It's a very chic face.
The top of the head is bare, covered by sarcoma, and a pair of eyes are only left with black holes, as if they have been dug out blind, and there are no traces of humans under the eyes, and there are no traces of humans under the eyes, and the nose and ears are not at all, and the place that was originally the tip of the nose has turned into a piece of flesh and connected with the rest of the face.
The mouth has no lips, only sharp teeth, which are stained with blood and flesh, as if they have just eaten.
Its neck is also very thick, swollen to the diameter of its head, all in all, this is a very deformed strong zombie, not to mention the luck of not being able to resist it in this deduction, even if other deduction players get the props, they may not dare to stand in front of it.
Yu Xing was silent for a moment, and stood up to meet the "sight" cast by the resentful corpse researcher.
After the gambler's crooked smile, he looked at him strangely: "Oh? You're very bold, brother. ”
In the next second, Yu Xing stumbled forward, suddenly dizzy, and his eyes turned black.
- I hid too quickly just now, but now when I get up, I forget that I am anemic for a while.
The corpse was still howling, and smelling two test subjects turned it up, but it didn't react to Yu Xing standing up.
Yu Xing waited for the dizziness to fade, shook his head, raised his voice and shouted at it: "I'm here!" ”
"Subject, Subject has escaped, I'm going to get Subject back......" The Corpse Researcher turned a deaf ear, his voice lowered, as if muttering to himself.
Then, it shook the pipes that were growing around its body from side to side, its sharp teeth striking the ground, and a few pieces of debris popped out of the floor.
It "looked" in the direction of the observation deck for a moment, and then ran away with heavy steps, as if intending to arrest someone.
"Holy?" The gambler looked at the direction it was leaving, and hurriedly pulled Yu Xing down from the observation deck, "Don't it come here, do the ghosts in the castle recognize the way?" ”
"Probably...... I don't know. Otherwise, we will be easily seen by ghosts wandering far away, and they all know the way, so isn't it easy to chase us? And we don't even know where they're going to come from. Yu Xing shook his head, looked at the gambler and said, "They should be the same as us, and they also need to find a way for a long time." And I tried it just now, the corpse researcher has no vision or hearing, and it is estimated that he only relies on his sense of smell to act, and the so-called response prop may be something that can obscure its sense of smell. ”
"Chances are, good guy, you've handled it well, and as a newcomer, you have a lot of potential!" The gambler patted Yu Xing on the shoulder happily, he didn't look panicked, maybe even if Yu Xing didn't say it, the gambler had already come to the same conclusion from Yu Xing's behavior just now and the reaction of the resentful corpse.
"Your handling method is very much in line with my appetite, I don't know if you have watched my live show, I like to die as much as you do!"
Yu Xing: "...... Haha, the senior's deduction style is unique, and I like it too~"
He really hadn't seen it, not only had he not seen it, but he hadn't even heard the name of a gambler.
However, he is not dying, but relying on the complex terrain of the castle to make a relatively safe verification.
I don't know where the Resentful Corpse Research Institute went, Yu Xing finished perfunctory the gambler, and while continuing to walk forward with the gambler, he opened the ghost notice and took a look.
[Ghost 4: Corpse Researcher]
【Correspondence for tourists: Lucky】
[Description source: 1. A strong and deformed corpse, full of resentment, wearing a uniform from a research institute, with an attack pipe behind it.] 2. Treats living people as experiments, extremely ferocious, and no one has ever seen its attack pattern. 3. From Yuki's past, when Yuki was used as an experimental subject by researchers, he accumulated resentment in his heart, and after killing the researcher, his disgust for the gaze of the research institute caused the resentful corpse to lose his eyesight, and he was ashamed of the researchers' evaluation of his behavior like an object, causing the resentful corpse to lose his hearing. In addition, due to Yuki's curiosity about things on the other side of the pipe, the Wraith has a special ability. (Since I am fortunate to be the corresponding deducer of the corpse researcher, the source analysis has been directly provided)]
[Attack Method: Special Ability: ??? 】
[Solution: ??? 】
[Notification Progress: 50%]
This ghost creature was ranked number four, and Yu Xing didn't know what standard it was based on, but thanks to the fact that the ghost notice was a personal version, a lot of information was directly open to him.
But...... The clarity of this analysis was beyond Yu Xing's expectations, and it can be said to be very sharp.
If someone else gets the corresponding item and can know the source analysis, it seems a little bad for him, and I believe that the other seven people will think the same.
If you want to protect the secret in your own hands from being discovered by others, you must get your own corresponding props, but props are useless in your own hands, which means that even if you get the props, the deducer's disadvantage to the ghosts will not be alleviated in the slightest.
He had thought before that after one person got the props and passed them on to others, wouldn't the two of them have collected ghost information? If it's a team that shows up in the castle at the moment, they can use it to score points.
Now he knows that handing over props to others is also a matter of courage, because what he has done, or what he doesn't want to mention in his heart, will be completely exposed to others, and many of his closest teammates can't know about it.
Alice's intentions in hell are as naked and sinister as ever, to force the deducer to make a choice and pay for what he has done.
In this way, everyone is faced with complex choices.
Yu Xing suppressed what he was thinking, continued to do what he was meant to do, and walked with the gambler for about six or seven minutes, during which he did not encounter any ghosts.
He made a mental note of the roads he passed along the way, and drew a three-dimensional map in his mind with the sights of other floors that he could see from time to time.
The map was successfully built with the third floor as the main body and the other floors as the auxiliary.
At this moment, the gambler patted him: "What do you think little brother, look at the front, the bathroom, and the stairs!" ”
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and looked ahead.
It wasn't all a corridor to the end, they passed through several small forks in the road, and they all decided to continue along the main corridor.
Ahead, for the first time, the main corridor is truly branched off, dividing into two corridors of equal width.
There is a sign in the middle of the hallway, the sign in the hallway on the right that reads "Bathroom" and the sign on the left that reads "Up to the 5th Floor" and "Down to the 2nd Floor".
The two glanced at each other, and Yu Xing said, "Do you want to go to the bathroom first?" Will it be dangerous? ”
"Go in and see, I bet it's not fatally dangerous, it's bold," the gambler waved his hand and went to the corridor leading to the bathroom, Yu Xing looked at his back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then raised his legs to follow.
The style of the bathrooms is very close to the rest of the castle, with a strong medieval classical style.
There is a fork in the road at the outermost, the men's and women's bathrooms are separated, Yu Xing followed the gambler into the men's bathroom, and saw the bath in the middle of the bathroom at a glance.
The bath is a small pool with a diameter of four meters and is neatly arranged with white towels.
It's not bath time, there's no water, so the luxury of the whole bath is even more vivid.
The bottom of the pool was inlaid with gemstones, both red and blue, which made Yu Xing wonder if the small ruby he picked up was really so important, and it was worth remembering Alice for so long.
Next to the bath was a wooden bathtub similar to the one Yu had seen in the Bloody Mary's room on the second floor of the Seqing Bar, which could only accommodate one or two people.
Looking to the side, there are rows of wooden cabinets, presumably used to hold the clothes that tourists have changed. Yu Xing casually opened a half-hidden and glanced inside, but saw no clothes, only a pool of blood.
"There's blood."
Yu Xing beckoned the gambler to come and see, and the gambler stood by another open wardrobe and spread his hands: "Got it, I have it here." ”
After another turn, the gambler's fingers tapped on his trousers: "There is blood in the cabinets that can be opened, and there are exactly eight cabinets that cannot be opened." ”
What does that mean......
I don't know what the blood in the wooden cabinet means, maybe it is implying something, but there is too little information now, and Yu Xing can't say it.
And it may be that the bathroom is closely connected to the water, and the water is yin, just standing here, both of them have a feeling of cold air, as if there is an intuition urging them not to stay here for too long.
"Let's go." The gambler said.
Yu Xing nodded, and as soon as the two stepped out of the bathroom, they were greeted by the voices of other deducers.
