Chapter 33: Alice's Hell (4) - The Weeper
At this time, not long after they were separated from the other interpreters, their first reaction when they heard the knock on the door was that someone was looking for them.
Although the silence in the air made the sound of the door panel rattling a little abrupt, as if it was knocking on the heart, giving people a hollow feeling, in fact, the people in the room were not too defensive.
After all...... Nothing has happened yet, commonly known as not being beaten by society.
But Yu Xing, who had already felt the malice, was different, and he was sure that the knocker was not necessarily human.
Yiqing's words of wanting to ask the teacher were blocked, and he fell from the air in silence, stepped on the ground, and looked out of the door with Yu Xing.
It was in these few seconds that Yu Xing's mind once again appeared as if he had self-consciousness.
This is the restriction set for Yiqing in Alice's hell.
[It has been detected that there is a contract ghost that exceeds expectations in the sacrifice "Seqing Dream" held by the deducer Yu Xing - Seqing Ghost Yiqing, and the restriction of Yiqing in line with the difficulty of this deduction is now carried out]
[Now all the control abilities of the green ghost are closed, and the breath is suppressed to the level of the ghost object in this field, and only the ability to smoke and dream interference is retained, as a sacrifice "Blue Dream" ability (2) Lack of compensation]
[The information of this exercise has been shared with Yiqing]
Yiqing: "...... Hehe, what an emotionless decision. β
Yu Xing: I expected it.
He didn't expect Yiqing to do anything when he took out the Qingqing Dream Realm, but just took out the only weapon to defend himself.
Yiqing can stay in the dagger and not come out, but after the last deduction until today, Yu Xing remembered Yiqing's persecution of Lai Lai, and deliberately did not take out the dagger, causing Yiqing, who was most afraid of being bored, to stay in the dagger alone for a long time, and only then did he immediately come out to express his dissatisfaction as soon as he found out about Yu Xing's actions.
As a result, before anything was done, a basin of cold water was poured by the system.
However, Yiqing's mentality is very good, and it is a new world of deduction, which will definitely allow him to see things that he has never seen before.
"Knock knock."
The knocking continued, Yu Xing approached, touched the door panel, and found that there was a cat's eye on the door, but he didn't pay attention when he chose the room, and after entering the room, he was covered by a note written by the nun.
He lifted the note and didn't shy away from putting it on and looking out with one eye.
He wouldn't be surprised even if he saw something outside with his eyes on the cat's eye.
Fortunately, the things outside did not do this, and through the cat's eye, Yu Xing could see the corridors and walls in warm tones, and half of his blood-stained face appeared in his sight without warning.
Seems like a girl?
This face was magnified by a cat's eye, and Yu Xing could see the other party's melon seed face, dark and godless eyes, and messy black hair.
The girl's height is not high, about 1.5 meters, judging from these descriptions alone, she seems to be a normal person, but ...... Large patches of dried blood stuck to her skin and hair, staining her pale face with a layer of blood.
Yu Xing shifted his gaze and successfully glimpsed a hole the size of half a bowl from the top of the girl's head, as if a piece of scalp had been lifted alive, and a small bit of brain tissue was exposed to the air, making the image full of impact.
Well, it's more appropriate to use it as a pronoun.
[You have found the "Cryer", the ghost notice has been updated]
"Knock knock."
The girl ghost, who is called the Cryer by the system, didn't notice that Yu Xing was looking at it through the cat's eyes, but just reached out and knocked on the door for the third time.
"Don't answer." Yiqing reminded in a small voice, Yu Xing only nodded, watched the girl withdraw her hand, and then opened her mouth.
The two lips tried to separate, and Yu Xing saw at this time that the girl's lips had been sewn together with white needles and threads!
The reason why I didn't notice it before was because the white thread was soaked in blood and turned red, which was not obvious under the color of the lip flap itself, and only when it struggled to open its mouth could it see a trace of the original white, which was pulled out of the flesh of the lip.
Yu Xing's eyes darkened, and he felt silent sympathy for the experience of this girl ghost before her death.
Due to the gagged mouth, the cryer was not able to make a sound, which did not match its name at all.
Without knocking on the door three times, the girl gave up, took a few steps back, turned and walked towards the next door.
Yu Xing lost his vision, and the malice that enveloped him receded like a tide.
Faintly, he heard a knock on the door of the next room, it seemed that the little girl was going to knock on everyone's door, and she should have knocked on the door of the gambler and the hysteria before, but it was unsuccessful.
He opened the goblin notice and looked at the update.
[Ghost 2: The Cryer]
γCorrespondence for tourists:??? γ
[Description source: 1. She is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with missing bones on her head, her head covered in blood, and her lips are sewn together with needles and threads. 2. Likes to knock on other people's doors, and no one knows the consequences of opening the door for her. (Source resolution will be triggered when the corresponding solution item is found)]
[Attack Method: Special Ability: ??? γ
[Solution: ??? γ
[Notification Progress: 10%]
This ghost is ranked second.,To be honest.,Although I don't know who it corresponds to.,In short, the strength is not very high.,It's just that it's a little scary.,It's easy to put pressure on the deducer.γ
As long as the deducer sees it inside the door, the fool will open the door.
Then there are only two possibilities, either, this should be the kind of ghost that the nun said, which is not strong at first, but will gradually increase, or it is the kind of ghost that is okay if you don't open the door, as long as you open the door, you will definitely die - the more serious the consequences of contact, the more difficult it is to be triggered, which is the usual mechanism of horror games.
Yu Xing leaned towards the first type, because the name of this ghost creature was the Wailer, then, its attack method should be related to the cry, and now the way its mouth was sewn up was probably the weakest state, and the longer they stayed in the castle, the stronger it became.
He turned off the ghost notice, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Yiqing standing there thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking?"
Yiqing glanced at him, a smile appeared on his face, he took out the fan and shook it: "It's okay, just sigh, after a person dies, grooming is also very important, why is this girl so unkempt?" β
Yu Xing sighed: "Your focus is really Qingqi, huh...... Maybe you're not a ghost. β
In Yiqing's world, blue, red, black, white and gray, no matter how strong or weak, they are indeed superficially human, at least clean, no matter how they die, their injuries are covered up.
And ghosts are ghosts, and people are people.
Still...... It's very exquisite.
In more horror worlds, the boundaries between ghosts and humans are blurred, and there are monsters, so there are strange-looking physical ghosts.
After sighing, Yu Xing still thought seriously: "However, I guess that the ghosts in this deduction should all belong to the more curious category, even if it is linked to the sins of each of us, but on the whole, it will still conform to the style of the ancient castle." In this case, you can roughly guess where the demons will attack the deducer. β
"Why don't you guess your own? What will your ghost look like? Yiqing floated to the desk and sat down, and a trace of curiosity and watching a play appeared on Qingjun's face.
"I don't know." Yu Xing didn't leave the door, still listening to the movement outside, and replied by the way, "I used to ...... There are quite a lot of mistakes made, one by one, and the devil knows which one Alice Hell will use. And even if it does, it will have to be magically modified, and in Alice's style, she will not make the deducer feel better. β
The torturous tendon jumping machine, the ghost animal head doll, and the coffee swivel chair that can roast people on the spot are proof of this.
Yiqing smiled: "Oh~ Is it really good to be so honest, not afraid that others will be frightened when they hear it?" β
"There's no one else here, only you, a well-informed young man, what am I afraid of?" Yu Xing taunted him and listened attentively.
I have to say that the room provided to them is very well soundproofed, counting the time, if the cryer did not leave halfway, it should be in the eighth room.
And Yu is fortunate to have excellent hearing, and he can no longer hear movement, which largely eliminates the intention of others to listen to the corner.
After a while, Yi Qingming didn't move, but said firmly: "It's gone." β
Just now, too, he didn't look at it from the cat's eye at all, but he knew that the things outside didn't look very decent.
Yu Xing asked, "What are you...... The perception ability of the green ghost? β
"Of course, the perception between ghosts and ghosts is very strong, if the strength is equal, you can easily distinguish each other's breath, otherwise, do you think that so many kinds of ghosts in this castle will not attack each other?" Yiqing shook the folding fan, as a matter of course.
However, Yu Xing, who was gathered by the door, moved his ears and heard footsteps again.
"Knock knock."
There was another knock at his door.
Fortunately, this time it was not the cryer who turned back, but the gambler who had just come out of his room.
"Luckily, are you there?"
After Yu Xing's confirmation in the cat's eye, Yiqing also nodded: "It's a real person, you can open the door." β
A puff of green smoke drifted by, and the figure of the green ghost turned into an illusion, shrouded in the dagger, and Yu Xing also heard a threat in a tone that was not so tough: "Don't take the dagger back." β
Yu Xing chuckled and stuck the sheathed dagger into the waistband of his trousers.
Then he put on his mask and said, "I'm here, what's wrong?" β
"It's okay, I'm going to take a look around and ask if you'd like to come along. Come or not, brother? Across the door, the gambler's very cordial Northeast accent still kept drilling into Yu Xing's mind.
Yu Xing opened the door for gamblers.
He looked at the gambler, who was a little shorter than him, but much stronger, and nodded, "Come on, now?" β
"Well, won't you go?"
Yu Xing felt that if he said a few more words, his accent would be taken away, so he couldn't help but smile: "Well, I listen to my seniors." β
There are not many things to pay attention to in the room, so it is better to replenish the map before dinner, and this idea of the gambler coincides with Yu Xing.
So he went out, closed the door, and looked around.
None of the others seem to have any intention of coming out now.
The gambler said: "Maybe I'm afraid that the cryer didn't go far, I want to come out later, if you want me to say it, it's not necessary, I've done everything about walking behind the devil's ass." β
He pointed in the direction the cryer had left: "Let's go this way and find out where the bathroom is."
"Well, that's what I thought too." Yu Xing said, "That place should not be far from our room." β
When they came, they went up the third floor from the second staircase of the hall on the first floor, and after that there was no fork in the road, and they followed a main road to the location of the ten rooms, whereas on the previous road they passed three flower rooms, two painting studios, and some rooms of unknown significance, and never saw the bathroom.
There is also no separate bathroom in the room, but the nun guide wrote the time of the bath separately on a piece of paper, which must have some kind of meaning.
Therefore, the "bathroom" must be found in advance, so as not to wash up on time later.
"But aren't you going to call it hysteria?" Yu Xing remembered that the hysteria also showed favor to the gamblers.
The gambler hesitated for a moment, then spread his hands: "...... To tell you the truth, I don't look very good at that kid, and then he can help him if he needs it, now, let's just go. β
This is said very tactfully, and it is almost like saying "I don't like him".
Yu Xing nodded and didn't ask any more, and the two set off and walked along the circular corridor to the unknown area.
The structure of the third floor seems to be mostly curved, and many places seem to be assembled, and the corridors are not completely enclosed, in some places the walls that connect to the ceiling are still connected to the ceiling, and the next meter is a half-height fence and empty air.
They can see some of the halls on the second or even the first floor from the corridors, and they can look through these halls to the windows or corridors on the same floor on the opposite side, so it feels like they are all connected.
After walking for a while, the two came to a platform constructed of observation deck, which was supported in the air by two elevated staircases, empty on all sides, with a corridor half a floor lower in front and behind, an exterior wall of the annex building on the left, and windows on the fifth floor, and an open-air kitchen on the second floor and another corridor on the third floor a little further away on the right.
The observation deck is the place with the widest view that Yu Xing has seen so far, there are several lights on it, which are brighter than elsewhere for some reason, and the rest of the surrounding areas happen to be all designed as a lightless environment, and the kitchen on the second floor is also off at this time, and the lighting seems to rely on the light emitted by the observation deck, it seems that the observation deck is like a bright target in the dark, and as soon as there is movement on it, it can be seen by people on all sides.
And this is the only way to move forward, the two of them stepped on it without much hesitation, and after going up, they found that the fence of the observation deck was made of crystal, reflecting the light, which was even brighter.
The gambler sighed: "This structure is really awesome, in fact, the area of the castle is generally large, and it is like a labyrinth." β
"Well, it's good for hiding props, and it's also good for chasing." Yu Xing put his hands on the crystal railing, and the tip of his nose vaguely smelled a smell that made him uncomfortable.
