Chapter Seventy-One: Alice's Hell (End) - Not Salvation

Personality weaknesses aside, just looking at speed and strength, Alice is definitely the top type of entity ghost.

Even if Yu Xing, whose strength is greater than ordinary people, cannot really compete with him head-on.

So, when Alice twisted her limbs, was on fire, and crawled towards him like a coconut, Yu Xing was very focused, squinting and dodging it for a moment.

Because a small movement is not enough to withdraw from Alice's claws.

The sharp nails brushed the tip of Yu Xing's nose like this, bringing a gust of wind that made the skin hurt, and Zeng Lai, who was paying attention to this side, shook his hand and almost poured the "water" crookedly.

He looked at Yu Xing's expression that hadn't changed much, and shouted in his heart, while continuing to pray that Yu Xing would survive the last few seconds intact.

He doesn't know when his six points of luck will expire, maybe it has expired now...... In short, Zeng Lai's eyes were fixed on Yu Xing, if something really happened, he would be able to take one last look at Yu Xing.

If Yu Xing knew what the hapless boy was thinking, she might throw him in Alice's face.

Four seconds to go.

The great sense of crisis seemed to bring Alice back to her senses, and she looked at Yu Xing, the nasty thief and mocker, and at Zeng Lai, the watering man, and opened her mouth wide and screamed.

Yu Xing could see that the teeth in Alice's mouth were sharp, like some kind of serration, hideous and cruel, which would make people unconsciously think of the rejection of their flesh...... Shudder.

Alice still plans to protect her baby Rose first.

She turned around with her scarlet eyes, her limbs tense, as if she was about to leap to her feet in the next moment.

In fact, she did.

Three seconds left.

Alice shows her true ghostly nature, whether it is visual, auditory, or olfactory, it brings a great sense of oppression.

Her misshapen body had been vacated and was ready to burst out of the fire, twisting Zenlai's head off with one claw.

The face of the ghost in Zeng Lai's vision suddenly enlarged, and he unconsciously took a step back, but his arm stretched out, and he didn't delay watering the flowers at all.

He gave a thumbs up to his outstanding performance.

After praising him, he felt that he was going to be finished, I don't know if Yu Xing looked at him, it was the last moment of his death......

Yes?

Alice didn't succeed in jumping in, instead, her body in the air paused, suddenly screamed, was pulled by a force, and fell back hard.

"it!?"

After seeing the situation clearly, he didn't care if it would attract Alice's attention, Zeng Lai stared at him and sighed.

This sigh, and another sigh to go for a second.

The progress bar has reached twenty-eight seconds, and there are two seconds left.

What did he see? He actually saw a young man with an emaciated physique, grabbed one of the legs of the ghost boss, and directly slammed it back!

In the shock, a question flashed in Zeng Lai's mind - how many points did Xing spend on exchanging power? It's almost the limit! Eh, how is this man so strong, but his physique has not changed? The people he has seen who have exchanged strength will have some obvious muscles on their bodies......

Maybe he was too nervous, and he couldn't hold back this moment, and his thoughts even drifted farther and farther away.

Unlike Zeng Lai, who saved a life because of Alice's attempted attack, Yu Xing is feeling very bad now.

The strength of the entity type is much greater than that of the entity, and he almost did his best to stop Alice, and at this time, the muscles in his arm were painful, and it was obvious that he was strained.

The muscles and veins were jumping out of control, and his hands were shaking like Parkinson's, Yu Xing was troubled by the cold breath, and glanced down at Alice, who was stunned but instinctively wanted to get up and continue to kill Zeng Lai, and sighed lightly.

So, Zeng Lai saw a scene that he would not forget for at least three years in his ghostly expression.

There is a second left.

He saw that Yu Xing didn't know whether he was unsteady or intentional, so he took advantage of the situation and half-knelt down...... Arms around Alice.

hugged very tightly, ignoring Alice's appearance, like a possessive hug from a lover.

In the burning flames, the roses all around, warm and erosive, the good-looking young man as if he had been given a gift embraced the ugly ghost into his arms, and part of the fire on the ghost was crushed, as if in mercy, and as if in redemption.

And the ghost didn't appreciate it, the scarlet and pitch black were so dirty that she even poked a sharp claw into the young man's chest without hesitation.

The young man trembled, but he didn't let go, his face was calm, and he even hugged the ghost tighter.

Oh, not salvation, but captivity.

It's like a cruel and unusually bloody and beautiful oil painting.

The picture seems to be frozen at this moment, Zeng Lai was in a trance for a moment, and even when the time came, the system prompted that the rose had been destroyed, all the derivative ghosts had disappeared, and Alice was about to be destroyed without noticing.

His gaze stayed on Yu Xing's pierced chest, and for a moment, he forgot to put down the useless watering can, only to feel that the scene in front of him was extremely dazzling.

Blood splattered three feet, the word was not an exaggeration at all, and a few drops of warm blood even pierced through the flames and fell at his feet.

As an experienced deducer, Zeng Lai has seen many people die in deduction, in various forms, at various times, but not as depressing as this time.

Luck...... Will it die?

The heart is pierced, and he will definitely die, right?

Although the watering pot in his hand is the key to victory, it is obvious that Yu Xing chose to stop Alice with his body in order to prevent Alice from touching him who was watering the flowers.

Zeng Lai felt suffocated.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if he hadn't fallen off his back a little, fortunately he wouldn't have hastily followed him in order to save him.

If you can collect more items, Alice's speed and strength will drop a lot, and maybe she won't die.

The watering can in his hand fell to the ground, and for several seconds, Alice didn't move again, Yu Xing didn't move, only Zeng Lai silently approached the ghost.

"Luck...... Y-Are you okay? ”

It's definitely not good, Zeng Lai asked himself in his heart.

"Or ...... If you hold on a little longer, as long as you don't die thoroughly, you will be able to receive systematic treatment as soon as the deduction is over. ”

Could it be that he has lost consciousness? Zeng Lai's fingers trembled.

In all fairness, he finally found a brother with the right personality and ability, but he didn't want the other party to die like this.

"I'm fine."

To his surprise, Yu Xing was clear-willed, and had the strength to respond to him clearly and smoothly.

Zeng Lai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yu Xing more carefully.

Yu Xing's face was thick with exhaustion and paleness, but his expression was so calm that it was not him who was going to die. In this way, after he responded to Zeng Lai, he didn't forget to say a snack to Alice in his arms: "I regret it, in fact, it doesn't matter what you look like, I still like you, I can't help but want to hug you." ”

Zeng Lai: "......" Did I have any misunderstanding about the state of Xing? Also, you won't succeed in seducing a little girl when you say this, you just said it to a female ghost?

At that moment, he looked down at Alice again.

The flame on Alice's body had been extinguished for some reason, and at the same time, the light in her scarlet eyes had been extinguished.

She is already "dead".

As a demon born out of sin, she seems to have lost consciousness and ability to act forever in a more complete form.

So in fact, she couldn't hear Yu Xingsao's words.

Zeng Lai suddenly thought that he realized the truth, and said with difficulty: "You...... Alice is dead, you don't have to hold on any longer. ”

Yu Xing: "Ah...... It's dead......"

He really didn't know if Alice was dead or alive at this time, because it was pitch black in front of him, and his optic nerve had been destroyed by the overactive power of the curse.

That is, in a short time, he was "blind".

"Ahem, it's a pity that the taunt didn't pass through." Yu Xing muttered, reached out and grabbed the wrist of Alice's claw inserted in his chest, and then pulled it out with a force.

"I'm ...... day" Zeng Lai didn't have time to stop it, so he saw Yu Xing take a big step towards death.

"Don't worry, I have a sacrifice to heal serious injuries, otherwise I wouldn't dare to hold it so big." Yu Xing raised his other hand, and Zeng Lai realized that at an angle that he couldn't see, Yu Xing took out a doll.

At this time, the doll's whole body was cracked, full of terrible cracks, and it was held by Yu Xing without love, and its whole body exuded a kind of "don't pay attention to me, I just want to be quiet".

"This doll can withstand a fatal wound."

This time Yu Xing didn't lie, the ability (2) was just in the time that it could be used, in order not to create an unexplained situation, he used the doll's ability (2) this time, and now the doll has been completely scrapped in this deduction.

The wound on his chest disappeared quickly, which belonged to the doll's ability, and he recovered a little faster than he did on his own.

Zeng Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

"You said it earlier, I thought you were going to stop cooking!" He helped Yu Xing to stand up, and found Yu Xing's poor physical condition, "You can't see with your eyes?" ”

Yu Xing naturally continued: "Temporary, it is a side effect of the ability of the sacrifice." ”

Zeng Lai thought that he was talking about the side effects of using dolls, so he didn't say anything, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then had the energy to see what prompt the system had sent him just now.

[The cursed rose has been destroyed, the curse has been lifted, and from now on, all the roses in this castle will return to normal]

[Alice, the owner of the castle, will be destroyed along with the Cursed Rose because she sold her soul to the Cursed Rose]

【The staff of the castle will be reinstated to their death state】

[Alice's death, the deduction ended early, and the estimated advance time was thirty-six hours]

[Congratulations on achieving the hidden plot "Greed Will Destroy Itself in the End"]

Yu Xing also calmed down, although he couldn't see with his eyes, but the system prompt panel in the personality mask was directly in his mind, and his prompt and Zeng Lai came at the same time, but he was disturbed by the cursed breath at that time, and he didn't have the time to look.

Among them, his hint for completing the hidden plot is exactly the same as that of Zeng Lai, and he pauses for a moment as he scans the line about the castle employees, and then continues to scroll down as if he doesn't care.

After the hidden hint, there is the Goblin Notice.

[The ghost notice has been updated, since you have completed the hidden ending, the original nine ghost things will be merged into one]

[Ghost Notice (Hidden Version) (Personal Version, Semi-shared)]

[Ghost type: 1]

[Encountered: 1]

[Solved: 1]

[Ghost 1: Cursed Rose]

【Correspondence Tourist: Grand Wizard】

[Description source: A pot of precious red roses, each petal is as delicate and intense as a work of art, it was originally just a seed, and under the continuous irrigation of sin, it bloomed.] Coming from the mysterious tourist Grand Wizard, Alice doesn't know who the other party is. So, the Great Wizard should be even more tricky than Alice. 】

[Special Ability: (1) Absorb blood and form evil ghosts corresponding to humans.] (2) Absorb sin and help the planters most associated with it to acquire beautiful human skins. (3) Affect the surrounding humans, so that the humans who remain within a certain range grow into rose bushes. (4) Influencing the planter's mind, making him more and more addicted to the things he is pursuing, and eventually unable to get rid of the rose, becoming a slave to the cursed rose. 】

[Solution: Destroy the stable state of the curse]

[Notification Progress: 100%]

The full picture of the cursed rose finally appeared in front of Yu Xing in its entirety, and he looked at the fourth ability description in the [Special Ability] column, and suddenly understood the reason why Alice had changed so much before and after.

Obviously, all this is a conspiracy of the Great Wizard, and if Alice is not destroyed today, the Day When She Completely Becomes a Slave to the Cursed Rose, the Great Wizard will definitely come back to accept the results.

[If you collect all the ghost notices, you will receive a "One Sacrifice" reward]

[Rewards can be brought out of the deduction, and since the deduction plot has ended, the sacrifice will be distributed at the final settlement]

【Side quest completed】

[Description of mission completion: You chose to threaten the tourist (the hostile mission did not fail), tied yourself to the butler (focusing on the rationality of the plot), and rebelled against the butler (obtained a lot of information), stole the butler's lighter (used to burn the wall of thorns), and stole the nun guide's watering can (used to destroy the cursed rose). 】

[Mission Evaluation: Exceeding Expectations]

【Reward: Title (Rare)】

[Amazing Conspirator (Rare): Wearing this title increases the success rate of doing bad things in the general sense (including fraud, stealing, instigation, and coercion). The way of ascent will be reasonably changed according to the situation at the time. 】

"Hmm." Yu Xing let out a meaningless monosyllable, which usually means that he is in a good mood.

This title was a bonus, and it was far more satisfying than the other rare title, Terrifying Newcomer.

[The deduction is complete, Alice's hell will collapse in five minutes, and all the deduction players will leave the deduction after four minutes and fifty-nine seconds, and the settlement will be settled]

[Note (This tip is shared by everyone): Since there are deducers who have reached the hidden plot, the deduction will be settled according to the hidden plot, and the rewards of the original ghost notification that have been collected will be converted into points and distributed.] 】

I have to say that the system has been doing a good job in terms of fairness.

The current system prompts are already a large list, and there is still a large list of final settlements left.

Before the time limit was up, Zeng Lai supported the crumbling Yu Xing, looked at the mess, felt the increasingly vigorous flames around him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Awesome, brother, I suddenly felt the joy of the alienation line destroying the convention." ”

"You can do the same next time, and the right path doesn't stipulate people to death." Yu Xing's gaze has not yet recovered, so he simply chatted with Zeng Lai.

Chatting helps him divert his attention and reduce his pain.

Anyway, after this deduction is over, he can complete all the conditions of the wish list and say goodbye to the bullying of the cold aura for the time being.

It's fun to think about.

"Don't say it, this time the end of my personality alienation will definitely rise to a level, it depends on you holding the ghost...... My day, when I think about it, I get goosebumps all over my body, and in this scene, my alienation has increased by at least two percent! Zeng Lai was not angry, that picture had a huge impact on his young mind, and the most terrifying thing was that he not only felt a little crazy, but even felt very beautiful.

The latter is definitely the culprit of the degree of alienation!

The two chatted for a while, and soon, the system spoke up and sent them out of the scene.

This time, Yu was fortunate to have no chance to see the scene of Alice's hell collapsing, and the only thing that responded to him was the darkness in front of him.
