Chapter 17: The Funeral (6) - The Stone Table

One thing to say, this scene is quite shocking, just like the unprepared Zhao Ruru, who was directly stunned by Zhao Yijiu's behavior, and even forgot to stop it.

It wasn't until Zhao Yijiu fell to the ground that she had an unbelievable gaze, and she realized that she missed half a syllable: "Hey......"

She didn't know what to say, so she consciously shut up, only poked her head harder, and tried her best to grab the wall, which was a little high for her, in a vain attempt to see everything under the wall.

Yu Xing's eyes moved, swept over the ghostly Zhao Yijiu, and chuckled.

Brother Jiu really hasn't changed, it's a good right path, and it always looks like he can be confused with ghosts.

Even though the skin is superior, the weird temperament that exudes from the inside out makes it difficult not to be afraid of him.

So...... Once someone can look at him without looking at him with a colored gaze, accept him as a whole, and even get along with him like a friend, he will be so good to that person that he seems a little indulgent, right?

He understood Zhao Yijiu's behavior, so his heart was even more touched.

Simulating Zhao Yijiu's brain circuit, it is easy to figure out why Zhao Yijiu jumped down at this time.

First, because the door of the house in the wall is closer, in the case of "almost the same" skills, it attracts the attention of the paper man and allows Yu Xing to take the opportunity to enter the house, which is a more cost-effective choice.

But there is one more ...... Zhao Yijiu understands his ability, and should know that he still has many ways to grind until he enters the house without injury, so he is obviously covering for him at this time to prevent more things from being exposed in the live broadcast room and causing him unnecessary trouble.

Such a wine brother is really suitable for being a teammate.

can meet Zhao Yijiu, a person who happens to have a flawed personality and maintains a strong personality tendency, so he seems to be cold and hard, but in fact he is extremely eager for "friends", Yu Xing feels like a lucky person who has picked up a cheap price for nothing.

If it wasn't him who took the qualification test with Zhao Yijiu, but another person who was willing to accept the "other", then everything would be different now, and he might still find the news that Zhao Mou came to probe the single prism, but I am afraid that there would be no chance to intersect with Zhao Yijiu.

At this moment, the idea of having a team fermented in Yu Xing's mind, although he had considered it before, but now the idea of existence has never been stronger.

What a blessing it would be to have a team you can trust.

He sighed softly in his heart, and thought to himself, the word trust has always been an extravagant hope for him, he is really idle and has nothing to do, why is he delusional now.

How old am I, why do I sometimes can't help but think in the best direction?

is still so naΓ―ve, is it because the lesson given by the servant is not enough?

……

Probably because this nail has the ability to attract hatred, after Zhao Yijiu jumped down with the nail in his hand, the paper man didn't look at Yu Xing again, but stared at Zhao Yijiu, stretched out his white paper hand and slowly pulled out the nail that ran through his chest.

As soon as the spike opened its body, it shattered into a pile of fine iron, which was visibly corroded and dried, turning into a handful of fine sand, which disappeared with the wind.

"It's the one who attended the funeral!" It ran towards Zhao Yijiu like crazy, its two legs that were not delicate in shape swayed under the colorful clothes, so fast that it almost dragged out the afterimage, and it was silent when it stepped on the ground, Yu Xing finally knew what kind of posture it was approaching him from behind.

Zhao Yijiu held his pitch-black short sword in his left hand, and held a long nail in his right hand, his muscles were tense, and he quickly left the position where he landed, and the next moment, the air there was torn by the paper man, and he let out a roar.

Yu Xing waved away what he didn't have in his mind, he had a lot of shortcomings, but in terms of regulating his mood, he didn't need anyone to remind and worry about it for a long time.

He didn't live up to Zhao Yijiu's kindness at all, and the moment the paper man shifted his target, he had already pulled out his legs and ran towards the gate of the house.

The white caftan was not suitable for sports, and to a large extent limited his various plays, but he still ran fast, and without the hindrance of the paper man, that distance was shortened to zero in the blink of an eye.

The moment he stepped into the house, Yu Xing felt a coolness more thorough than the ghost alley coming from all directions, he stepped over the threshold, leaned on the door frame and looked in the direction of Zhao Yijiu, and shouted by the way: "Brother wine, I'm in!" ”

Zhao Yijiu's personality mask is called cold wine, and if you call it Brother Jiu, it is smooth and will not expose anything.

Zhao Ruru on the wall pursed his lips, and he wanted to vomit too much in his heart, but he couldn't say a word when he came to his mouth.

She also saw that Yu Xing was pretending to be tender, in the real world, when this thing was analyzed, her aura was like a team-led, but she wouldn't shout so loudly.

However, his shouting was indeed somewhat useful, after Zhao Yijiu heard it, he didn't even have to turn his head back, forced the paper man back with a knife, flicked his wrist, and threw the spike decisively, hitting the bull's-eye again.

He took two steps back, and a large, ethereal shadow of an eye suddenly appeared behind him, swallowing him into the darkness of pure black eyeballs.

Yu Xing looked at the eyeball that was as black as a pearl in the middle of the eye, and for some reason felt that the aura it exuded was a little familiar, as if he suddenly saw countless years from the eyeball, and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't capture this fleeting inspiration.

Regardless, the final result is a rare reassuring sensation to the eyes.

The paper man laughed furiously, and once again let the spikes detach from his body, turning into ashes.

It rushed towards the phantom of the eye, and the phantom stared at it for a moment, then calmly closed its eyelids, completely dissipated into the air, and even evaporated from the spot with Zhao Yijiu.

At the same time, the phantom appeared on the wall, Zhao Yijiu came out of his eyeballs, and subconsciously reached out to grab the wall, if someone looked carefully, they would find that his movements seemed to be exactly the same as before he jumped.

It's just that this time he didn't have to jump anymore, the phantom in his eyes dissipated, Zhao Yijiu Shi Shi Shi and then withdrew, fell into the house, and took advantage of the situation to help Zhao Ruru, who was struggling to persevere, so that she could also land smoothly.

The wall of this house is really a bit high, about four meters, even if Zhao Ruru has strengthened her physique, she still can't hold it very well, after all, the enhancement of physical fitness only represents the improvement of the lower limit of mobility, which does not mean that she can climb over the wall and climb the window like those who have practiced her skills.

The paper figure outside the wall made a sound of crying and laughing, it was really noisy, probably to see that a few people really entered, and it had no chance to kill people for the time being, so it hid in the corner and started its crying again.

Because it stopped crying and became quiet, the yin house also resounded suona and crying, from silence to noisy almost instantaneous change, that neat induction made people panic.

From Zhao Yijiu jumping down to being sent back to the wall by the phantom, it took exactly five seconds, among them, it took one second for Yu Xing to sigh, three seconds to run into the house, and one second to report the location of the door.

During this period, Zhao Yijiu dodged several attacks of the paper man, threw out a spike, and summoned a phantom.

In other words, this operation seems complicated, but in fact, in the eyes of others, it is only a time to blink two or three times.

After the three of them saw each other, the three live broadcast rooms merged into one under the processing of the system, and the flow of people skyrocketed, and at the moment, the entire visible screen area was frantically swiped by question marks.

[??? ]

[?? ]

[? ]

[I'm stupid, is this a newcomer?] ]

[Newcomer?] ]

[That's right, reliable news, cold wine has just been promoted to the differentiation level, and it is the right path. Luckily, needless to say, he hadn't been promoted when he participated in the rookie competition last month.]

[These sacrifices that the two of them have used so far are so strong, how did the newcomer get them?] ]

[Some people are lucky, and the sacrifices and personality masks they encounter are particularly suitable]

[I'm sour, Mom, those eyes look so amazing]

[The spike momentum is also good, but the cold wine should not have used it completely]

[I envy the black sword and the cyan dagger even more, you must know that my six sacrifice columns are full, and I still don't have a satisfactory weapon-type sacrifice]

At this time, a star promoter from the LSP Foundation who originally lived in Zhao Ruru's live broadcast room stood up and stirred up the atmosphere.

[Zou Jin: Just for their combat effectiveness, I said a word out of the dark horse, who is in favor and who is against?] ]

Watching the live broadcast together, most of them won't spoil the fun when it's obvious that someone is active in the atmosphere, and the ninja who wants to refute doesn't squeak, and in an instant, the following is swiped by Yishui's approval.

Zou Jin suddenly became energetic, he was very good at creating slots, and sent another sentence-

[Zou Jin: Ten minutes!] I want all of them! ]

[Zeng Lai: I want you to have a bubble teapot, are you saying that within ten minutes, you want the information of the Zhao family? ] ]

[Zou Jin: Why are you here!] ]

Zeng Lai and Zou Jin have a good relationship, or rather, as a gambler who jumps out, he has a reasonable relationship with many star deducers who have no obvious conflict of interest with each other, and they belong to the kind that can usually be joked.

But at the moment, although he was joking with Zou Jin, he also vaguely told some people who secretly guessed why he went straight to Xing's live broadcast room in the first place, and he was Xiangxing.

This is indeed a bit obscure, only a few people can get it, but what he wants is such a part of the people, because people who can't even understand this meaning will basically say goodbye to the word powerful, and there is no need to remind them.

[Lu Xiaorong: The Zhao family can take out all your information in one minute @Zou Jin]

[Ren Yi: It doesn't take a minute.] ]

Ren Yi basically won't miss every meaningful live broadcast, after all, his job is to record, analyze, and screen, so the deducers can often see him in the live broadcast room.

But apart from replying to the greetings of acquaintances, he hardly spoke when watching the live broadcast.

This time, I stayed in the Yuxing live broadcast room with my friend Zeng Lai, and I took the stalk for the first time, which really created history, congratulations!

[Zeng Lai: I even found out where you were in health last time!] ]

[Zou Jin: Fart, that's an in-depth exchange triggered by the spark of love and the purchasing power of money!] ]

[? ]

[?? ]

[??? ]

In a question mark, Zou Jin was silent for a while, and then sent -

[Zou Jin: Forget it, I was wrong, don't check me.] ]

He successfully single-handedly brought the topic crookedly, and the live broadcast is like this, no matter how depressed the deduction is, the LSP Foundation can turn the atmosphere of the live broadcast room around.

Rao is like this, many people in other guilds don't dare to underestimate the LSP Foundation that seems to be full of comics, because their ability to grasp topics and guide thinking can not only be used in barrage.

If you meet them in the deduction, maybe the consequence of being guided to think will not be laughing twice, but falling to the ground.

In the screen of the live broadcast room, the picture has been completely transferred to the interior of the Yin Mansion.

The floor of the house was paved with irregularly shaped tiles, overgrown with weeds in the crevices, and the weeds in the corners of the walls were half a man high, and unknown withered wildflowers were hanging.

The walls were covered in dirty marks and spots of mold, and the skin peeled off, creating a thick layer of powder at the corners.

As soon as Zhao Ruru came down from the wall, he rubbed his sore arm, and while glancing at Yu Xing who was walking here from the gate, he praised Zhao Yijiu: "Amazing, it's actually a teleportation sacrifice?" I'm still wondering why you jumped off. ”

Zhao Yijiu didn't plan to explain his sacrificial ability in the live broadcast, so he guessed with her, and responded lightly: "Hmm." ”

"Awesome, thank you Brother Jiu for rescuing~" Yu Xing walked closer and sincerely showed a look of hugging his thighs.

Zhao Yijiu couldn't bear to look at it directly, the corner of his forehead twitched, and he turned his head, not wanting to face Yu Xing, a drama spirit.

"Brother Jiu," Yu Xing moved two steps and stood in Zhao Yijiu's line of sight again, he thought for a moment and asked in a concise vocabulary that others wouldn't understand, "That one just now, witch?" ”

By the time he walked over, he had already found the source of that familiarity in his recent memories.

What the eye phantom brought to Zhao Yijiu was not teleportation, the aura it emitted when it opened and closed its eyes was very similar to the feeling that the shockingly beautiful goddess stick brought to Yu Xing in the witch's time hut in Alice Land 1.0 version.

Ethereal, elusive, and there is an indescribable, cold and old regret.

And the eyeballs that were so black that there were no impurities in their eyes matched the form of the gift that Zhao Yijiu took away in the Time Cottage at that time - he took a round black pearl in his hand at that time.

Speaking of which, the brush he picked out at that time called [Time Engraving] has not shown any effect so far.

Zhao Yijiu's pupils shrank, as if he didn't expect Yu Xing to think of the source of this ability after just one glance, after all, when the witch gave him the black pearl, even he didn't know what the use of this thing would be.

This kind of person is so scary.

Fortunately, it was Yu Xing.

He said "um" again, this time it was not perfunctory, even Zhao Ruru could hear the difference between the two "um", and almost rolled his eyes.

She didn't care what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing, at best, in a deduction that they had experienced together, they had something to guess each other!

She's not uncommon! Hum!

Yu Xing received positive feedback, and his thoughts were scattered a little, drifting to his [Time Mark].

He could see very clearly that Zhao Yijiu was transmitted back to the wall with his back to the wall, if it was the teleportation ability, why didn't he directly transmit it to the mansion on the same plane, but instead did it redundantly, he had to come down from the wall again?

But the fluctuation just now is definitely a sacrifice, and the black pearl is a prop, and it is impossible to become a sacrifice.

Combined with the witch's ability, Yu Xing sorted out the most reasonable one from many possibilities, that is, the black pearl should belong to a special item that can add a time-related ability to a certain sacrifice.

The abilities brought by this kind of prop must have many limitations, such as a short effective time, or the need for precise timing, etc., in short, the restrictions are not to mention for the time being, just looking at Zhao Yijiu's state just now, the ability brought by the black pearl should be - time backtracking.

A small range, which only belongs to one person's time backtracking, can allow Zhao Yijiu to return to a certain point in time.

Even if the real effect will be a little different from what he guessed, it is only in detail, and Yu Xing believes that his speculation will not be too far behind.

What about the Time Seal?

The brush itself was very textured, and it didn't look like it could be melted into a sacrifice, and if he could, he would have discovered it.

It seems that the functions of the two of them, as well as what Wang Jue got at that time, should be different, or even very different.

It's nerve-wracking.

Yu Xing restrained his mind in Zhao Ruru's boring waiting posture and the deafening suona one after another, and he smiled: "It's finally converged, don't you plan to exchange information?" ”

Zhao Ruru clapped his hands with relief: "Yes! Hurry up and exchange information, after we have analyzed and analyzed the situation, I will start a hexagram again, so as to smooth out the plot of this mission stage. ”

Zhao Yijiu didn't say anything, leaned back against the wall and nodded.

Obviously, this house should occupy a larger proportion of the plot, otherwise there would be no need for two deducers to explore at the same time, so Yu Xing first described everything he experienced after waking up, excluding the unimportant parts, and described it in detail.

After listening, Zhao Ruru said: "In other words, the alley outside is a ghost alley, and the original shopkeepers should be almost dead, and now they are basically in a state of invisibility." And the funeral owner is called Liu Bingxian, because of what he did, he was disgusted by the neighbors, and the wreaths sent were all congratulations on his good death? The paper man was also hating Liu Bingxian, and he couldn't even come over to attend Liu Bingxian's funeral. ”

"That's right." Yu Xing nodded, Zhao Ruru, this girl is very good at grasping the key points, and the summary is indeed the most important thing to pay attention to.

Zhao Ruru touched his smooth and small chin: "Also, the shopkeepers are gone, but the ghost alley has pulled a lot of people nearby, including those who are walking, those who are planning to eat, and tourists?" It doesn't sound like a pattern at all, after all, we don't know what's beyond Haunted Alley. Moreover, what is the purpose of the ghost alley to bring people in? Could it be that the death of the living here will make the power of the ghost alley and the netherworld stronger? ”

[Coming, coming, reasoning!] ]

[Who will broadcast the reasoning progress of each team?] ]

[I'm coming, I'm coming, the other teams that have successfully converged at the moment - no.] ]

[??? ]

[In other words, this team is the team at the top of the progress!] ]

[Awesome]

[Fortunately, he was the first to come out of the posthumous frame shop, and he was also the first to enter the Yin Mansion with the help of his teammates, and his progress was clearly ahead.] ]

[Really awesome, let's see who else can replicate their behavior?] Two dark horse newcomers, and a practical Zhao Ruru who is a thief, is simply invincible, okay]

After Zhao Ruru summed up, he thought about it and glanced at Yu Xing: "Do you have any ideas about these?" ”

Yu Xing said: "Yes." ”

Zhao Ruru patted the dust on the clothes on his chest and abdomen when he climbed the wall: "I also have an idea, why don't I analyze it, and you will correct it?" ”

She had seen Yu Xing's analytical ability, and she thought that she was not comparable, she was good at intelligence gathering and fortune telling, not reasoning, so she used the word correction for Yu Xing.

Yu Xing also wanted to listen to Zhao Ruru's thoughts, so as to deduce the thinking lines of other teams under the same conditions, so he nodded in response.

In the wall next to the gate of the Yin Mansion is a small courtyard, with a set of stone tables and stone benches, and there is no one in the courtyard at this time, and Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru have already felt the same danger in the Yin House, so they sat on the stone bench, intending to follow the plot seriously.

"So roughly speaking, in the task at this stage, there are two opposing forces, one is Liu Bingxian, who is holding a funeral in the Yin Mansion, and the other is the paper people and shopkeepers. In addition to these two parties, there are also living people who have been pulled in, forming a disruptive force caught in the middle. ”

Zhao Ruru picked up a few branches, picked out three, arranged them on the stone table decently, and clicked on the middle, "For these three forces, we have to find out separately - what Liu Bingxian did, how the paper figure was formed, and what impact did the living people have on the ghost alley and the Yin Mansion when they were pulled in." ”

Speaking of this, she raised her head and asked for Yu Xing's opinion: "Right? ”

"Wrong."

Yu Xing hadn't spoken yet, and Zhao Yijiu, who didn't seem to be able to participate in the discussion at all, spoke coldly.

"Huh?" Zhao Ruru was a little surprised, she didn't expect that she would be right, but it was Zhao Yijiu who refuted her, which made her unexpected.

She asked, "What went wrong?" ”

"Mindset." Zhao Yijiu said coldly, "Your biggest mistake is to follow Xing's description and default to everything he said in pairs. ”

Yu Xing was interested, he also didn't expect that what Zhao Ruru didn't see, Zhao Yijiu would see.

It seems that during this period of time, Brother Jiu really worked thinking exercise.

Perhaps, the shrewd blood that passed on Zhao Mou and them was finally liberated a little by Brother Jiu.

But Zhao Yijiu only said one sentence, and he didn't plan to speak again, and Yu Xing didn't want to waste time, so he took the initiative to say to Zhao Ruru: "Let me tell you, you are wrong to ignore the details and logical loopholes, you can't let me say a clue directly, you really treat it as an ordinary sentence." ”

Zhao Ruru nodded humbly: "Well, okay, you say." ”

"First of all, there are indeed opposing forces in the mission at this stage, but not two, but three."

Yu Xing took out the one that Zhao Ruru put in the middle of the three small branches and arranged them into an equilateral triangle: "Do you think that the tourist Zhou Xue and the people hiding in the coffin shop are really living people who were pulled in?" ”
