Chapter 47: Alice's Inferno (18) - A Fateful Gamble
After confirming their identities, the two exchanged the information they had found, but due to the preciousness of time, Yu Xing only roughly mentioned the fragments found from the pillow, and discussed that after searching the fifth floor, they would go back to the room and analyze it.
Zeng Lai searched two rooms, but he didn't get much, he muttered "How do you feel like I'm a little wrong", and at the same time showed Yu Xing the small charred sculpture.
It is a wood carving, different from the stone statues that can be found everywhere in the castle, it is painted in a more lively style, and it is a young girl in a pleated skirt, the girl carries a package, and the hat on her head is broad-brimmed, as if she is walking.
The burn had ruined her face, and her clothes were full of holes, revealing the lines in the wood.
It's hard for Zeng Lai to kick this palm-sized thing in his pocket, and after putting it back, the pocket of his clothes is bulging.
The information went back to sort it out, and they each entered a room again, but they didn't gain much, and they walked out again in less than ten minutes.
There are seven rooms in this hallway, and the last one is at the end.
Pushing open the door, Yu Xing let Zeng Lai go in first, get a place in the room, and then looked behind him.
It was the largest bedroom compared to the previous rooms, and it was a little more elaborately furnished, about 1.5 times the size of the other rooms.
But at the same time, it is also the one with the heaviest burn marks, the walls are black, and even when the lights are turned on, the light hits it, and it is still full of a sense of darkness.
Zeng Lai said: "Let's find it together." β
When the words fell, he remembered something and reminded: "Don't tell Qu Zhiqing that I asked that question when you go out-"
Yu Xing was amused by his behavior of finally remembering this sentence after so long, and nodded in agreement.
Judging from the fear of most deducers for Qu Zhiqing, Zeng Lai is worthy of being the kind who often dies, and he actually came up with such a question for the first time.
Yu Xingdu felt that this question could not be answered.
Isn't that kind of thing changed every day? Hell knows what color it is.
After a fork, the two began a carpet search.
Yu Xing started the same inspection again, and threw it into the corner if it couldn't be used.
Zeng Lai looked at it for a while, and found that he did search more carefully, so he simply let himself go, no matter who used to live here, and joined the demolition team.
Unlike Yu Xing, who still exudes a sense of elegance in his bones even if his actions are violent, his movements are even greater, if you want to say that Yu Xing is an assassin, he is a berserker, and he inherits the spirit of Erha ten out of ten.
Yu Xing glanced back after checking the cabinet, and suddenly felt a trace of recognition for Ren Yisheng, who had never met before...... Zeng Lai's appearance is indeed like a stupid dog, no wonder Ren Yi said that he is not calm.
With a move of his fingers, Yu Xing retracted his attention, straightened up and looked around.
There were no keys in the first six rooms, so the keys could only be stored in this large bedroom, and he felt that the keys would not be hidden behind some compartment, so that if the deducer came to find the key while being hunted down, wouldn't there be no chance at all?
The absurd world always has to give them a chance to "survive in a desperate situation" and "extreme counter-killing"~
The reason for the dismantling of the house search is actually to find the "collection elements" with scorch marks, and now, the things are roughly rummaged through, and there is no need to waste time.
His gaze eventually fell on the painting hanging on the wall.
Several oil paintings have not escaped the rendering of the general environment, the frame of one of them is broken, the cracks of the glass are in the shape of a spider web, which cannot be removed, and the rest looks very old, and the border has not been wiped for too long, giving birth to a layer of black that cannot be erased.
He reached out and took the frames off one by one, and when he reached the broken frame, he felt something shake inside.
Yu Xing shook it vigorously, and after a while, a rust-stained silver key fell out and smashed on the pen holder that Zeng Lai had thrown to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Zeng Lai's ears moved, and he immediately looked at him: "Found it?" β
"Seems to be." Yu Xing picked up the key and squinted at it, the size of the key was about the same size as the keyhole on the small wooden box, and it should fit.
"Great, it didn't work in vain." Zeng Lai let out a long breath and whispered in a voice that no one else could normally hear, "I thought my vote took effect at the beginning." β
Coincidentally, Yu Xing's hearing did not belong to the category of normal people, and he immediately captured the point, recalling the sacrificial dice that Zeng Lai threw out of the bathroom he saw, and the blood-red "one" facing upwards.
Hearing Zeng Lai's tone, a guess crossed his heart, and he immediately slanted a look: "? β
"Do you control your luck with those dice?"
Zeng Lai: "......"
"It's found, yes, it's my main sacrifice, it helps me make decisions, and sometimes it saves my life."
Yu Xing: "Sometimes it can be fatal. β
Zeng Lai: "...... Right. β
He didn't mean to hide it, he just wanted to take the opportunity to test whether Yu Xing had strengthened his five senses with points, he thought he had tried it out, and sighed in his heart - this kid has a lot of points, it is to strengthen the speed, and to strengthen the five senses, and there are several sacrifices, and the potential is really strong......
He then explained a little bit about his dice-making abilities.
This is the information that the star deducer gambler has disclosed to other deducers, [Destiny Bet], a sacrifice in the form of dice, the ability is to divinate the correctness of a decision, a deduction can only be used once, one point represents a complete error, six points represent very correct, and two to four points are deepened. Ability two is a game of fate, throwing a number, one represents bad luck, six represents good luck, and two to four points are deepened to change luck.
This is the sacrifice that Zeng Lai got a long time ago, and his title of gambler was not even confirmed by the system after obtaining this [Destiny Gamble].
"The luck that comes out every time the ability is thrown is not immediate, and I don't know when it will come, and I'm not sure if it will cover me alone or implicate others after it comes." Zeng Lai looked disparate, "After throwing it, I can sense the result and throw a little ...... I'm also drunk. β
Yu Xing: Then you are not a chief.
Zeng Lai pursed his lips, a little uncomfortable: "To be honest, I looked at the previous rooms, I looked for a long time and there were no clues, and now I can't find the key, I thought that bad luck was starting to attack, and I hid the key in a difficult place, fortunately, it doesn't seem to have started." β
He thought to himself, this is a blessing.
β¦β¦
The goal was achieved, and the two planned to leave this corridor and go back to the hall on the first floor to take a look at the time. At this time, Yu Xing glanced at the messy room, suddenly moved, and walked in the direction of the bed.
In every room he had searched before, the bed board had been lifted by him once, and the bedside of this large bedroom had not been touched, and he always felt that something was missing.
Yu Xing is not obsessive-compulsive, he just realizes that the design of the bottom of the bed connecting to the ground is a bit strange, because the beds in the bedroom they live in are all elevated, and they can see under the bed.
The room on the fifth floor is obviously not as elaborate as the third floor, but the bed looks a little more expensive than the third floor, and Yu Xing has a faint instinct about thisβthere must be a reason for this.
At that moment, he bent down in Zeng Lai's slightly speechless expression, pulled the sheet mattress, and lifted the bed board with force.
"I said as for you, are you addicted to demolishing the house......" The gambler laughed, and his expression froze on his face in the next second, okay, the slap in the face came so quickly.
Yu Xing also paused, because this time, the ground under the bed board was no longer dirty and uncleaned, but a deep hole.
"Bang!" He pushed the bed board aside and looked inside with a hint of surprise and surprise.
It's pitch black, and there's no bottom in sight.
The opening, slightly smaller than the bed, is rectangular and has iron treads on one side that extend down to form an improvised staircase.
Zeng Lai leaned over in a daze: "Awesome." This should have been where to get the clue, and then point to the bottom, but it was discovered in advance by you, the god of house demolition? β
Yu Xing accepted the compliment calmly, and he was confident in his instincts.
As a result, just as he was about to ask Zeng Lai to put the fire fold in to take a picture of the light, Zeng Lai accidentally stepped on a sphere handicraft on the ground that rolled over at some point, his feet slipped, and the whole person was planted forward.
"it!"
Zeng Lai's calf hit the wall of the bed, lost his balance, and was about to fall into the hole, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to Yu Xing: "Pull me-"
Yu Xing didn't expect such a thing, and quickly gave it to him, however, Zeng Lai's outstretched hand was still holding the fire fold, Yu Xing grabbed it all of a sudden, but felt that something was forced into his hand.
It's a fire fold.
Zeng Lai: "......"
Yu Xing: "......"
Zeng Lai wanted to pull Yu Xing to restore his balance, but in the loss of control, he instead stuffed the fire fold into Yu Xing's hand, he breathed a little, and then he screamed and fell.
Yu Xing lay at the entrance of the cave with a complicated face, watching Zeng Lai's figure quickly disappear into the darkness, listening to the screams getting farther and farther away, and didn't know what to say.
This hole was deeper than expected, and Zeng Lai fell into it as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit, but this was also good news, so that he would not fall to pieces.
When he couldn't even hear the scream, the dagger on Yu Xing's belt moved, and Yiqing's voice came out: "This person is really very optimistic, and he even thinks that bad luck has not yet worked." β
ββ¦β¦ Mean, did he really start to work? Yu Xing sighed, "Forget it, let's go down and find him." β
Zeng Lai didn't step down the stairs after all, and if he was injured, he could still help.
Yiqing turned into a human form and floated in the air, surrounded by green mist: "You try." β
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and tried to step on the stairs of Yanbian, but felt a resistance.
[The darkness here is breathtaking, even with the lighting tools can be intimidating, and you find that the entrance to the cave seems to be arranged with an enchantment, and only one person can enter it.] γ
[There is more than one entrance to the destination, so let's look for another entrance.] γ
ββ¦β¦ It is worthy of one, the most unlucky situation. Yu Xing glanced down pityingly, "Then I can only find another way, I really don't know, whether he has covered himself or implicated others." β
Yiqing smiled elegantly: "Believe me, this is this person's unique bad luck, and he probably won't be better off this time." Yu Xing, if you want to help him, find a way to 'go down'. β
