Chapter 13: A Caged Nightmare

[The following is a list of information about this deduction game]

As usual, lines of blood-colored small characters appeared in front of Yu Xing's eyes.

[Mini-deduction: Caged Nightmare]

[Genre: 80% Playing Class]

[Analysis: In the analogy, the deducer will cover the existing characters in the absurd world, inherit the character's identity, interpersonal relationships, etc.] In 70% of role-playing games, the deducer does not inherit the character's abilities, but uses his own body (the items he carries are owned by the character), and the logic of his actions is affected by the role. 】

"Oh? This time it's 10% more than last time~" Yu Xing looked at the prompt, and his heart was ready to move.

[Due to the proportion of playing reaches 70%, this deduction opens the physical strength and health data]

[Stamina: The role played by the deducer has his/her/its own ideas, each key action needs to consume stamina, the stamina drops to 10 points, the deducer must stop resting, when the stamina is empty, the deducer can only choose to sleep]

[Health: The role played by the deducer has limited life, digitizes the health value, the damage health decreases, and the concept of "critical" is erased when it is not cleared, and the deducer's health is cleared to death]

[Note: This deduction is not allowed to mention words related to the system and deduction, and it is not allowed to pretend to be a player, and violators will be severely punished]

[The deduction is a three-player game]

[This deduction takes up real time, please allow 24 hours (the real time flow rate is different from the in-game, and the game flow time is unknown)]

[Sacrifice is disabled in this game, your sacrifice "Tears of the Candle" cannot be used, your sacrifice "&#*|*^" (data error) - data error, can be used normally]

"Forbidden sacrifices?" Yu Xing, who saw it from the beginning to the end, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I feel that this time it is so strict, and it looks very dangerous when I hear it, and he likes it!

[Your items cannot be brought into this type of deduction]

【Entering the game】

……

The town of Aurelong is a small town with a simple and simple people, and the townspeople have a simple and welcoming good quality, always with a big smile on their faces, as if each of them had won the Grand Prize of the Hythaway Company - although I can't empathize with their happiness, after all, I am not simple, and I have not won the lottery.

Oh my gosh, you know what? In fact, since I was transferred to the police station in this town, I haven't had a single day of peace!

I don't think the town of O'Reiron is as good as the sheriff promised me, petty theft is a common occurrence, and in the past two months, there has even been a vicious assault here, because two fucking men are fighting over whose wife is more attractive! Oh, you know, it's the charm of the bed.

As a policewoman, I really wanted to beat both of them up and keep them in the town's hospital for a whole month.

Hi old friend, I think I digressed, apologize first.

This time I asked you to come for the sake of a rich family in the town, hmph, rich people are really a lot of things, I know I shouldn't say that, but I have a headache about this now, and I don't care about any demeanor.

When you come to me in O'Urelan, I'll tell you to your face, by the way, this is a very evil thing, I remember you said that you know a friend who can exorcise demons, right? If you can, bring it quietly, I've been reassuring the townsfolk and my men to believe in science, and they'll laugh at me if they know I'm shaken.

By Your Best Friend: Lucia

The above is the content of the letter in Yu Xing's hand.

He recovered from the darkness, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting on a common roadside bench, with the police station across the street.

On the surrounding seats sat a few girls in chiffon skirts, who from time to time cast curious glances at him, and then turned their eyes away from the jokes of their companions, and laughed out loud.

These girls, including passers-by in front of Yu Xing's eyes, some were blonde, some were red, some were zongzi - both men and women, they all had some amber eyes, and three-dimensional features that distinguished them from the East.

Yu Xing immediately realized that the background of the nightmare in the cage did not seem to be China.

The surrounding architecture also corroborates his idea, and he feels like he is in an English town, with brick walls, domed corner towers, some in rows, with raised shutters, corner towers, deep openings, and wide porticos.

But he couldn't see the age here, and the various elements were a little mixed, not like a specific time.

- Maybe it's not Britain either, but an alternate world, after all, nothing is okay in the absurd.

There didn't seem to be any teammates next to him, and the deduction hint introducing his identity didn't appear for the first time, and he could only see two lines of translucent words in the upper right of his visual range.

[HP: 85]

[HP: 100]

This is the new data that was deduced before entering the game.

"I haven't done anything yet, my stamina is eighty-five, I shouldn't be a crispy again."

As soon as this idea came out, Yu Xing suddenly felt a little frightened, he couldn't be strong yet after entering the presence-playing game, he was really angry!

So he quickly looked down at himself and what he was carrying.

“…… Is it so formal? Seeing the black three-piece suit and leather shoes of the same color on his body, Yu Xing subconsciously loosened the tie at the neckline.

Then, his sense of touch, which he had finally fully regained, made him aware of the black top hat he was wearing on his head.

Through the reflection of the restaurant's peeling, he saw himself clearly—his body was still his own, and he was wearing a bowler hat and a well-fitting suit, folding his long legs against the face of the East that women were jealous of...... It is commonly known as crossing Erlang's legs.

Like a young and not too serious gentleman.

Yu Xing doesn't really like to wear suits, except for formal social occasions, he rarely touches this kind of clothing that makes him feel inconvenient and slightly restrained.

However, his character doesn't seem to be too serious, Yu Xing's bony fingers are holding down a cartoon-patterned dark blue tie, and even his gold cufflinks resemble the shape of the head of a pink hair dryer......

Sullen.

He complained fiercely, and after complaining, he found that he was talking about himself.

"Still sullen." Yu Xing muttered, checking the handbag he kept next to him again.

The handbag was very tactile to the touch, and when he opened it, he found a mess of papers and paperwork, cigarette cases, an old lighter, a letter and a box of beautifully packaged chocolates.

Next to the handbag was a silver-encrusted cane.

The moment he saw the document, Yu Xing took it out and looked at it carefully.

Now, the character introduction finally came, and the deduction prompt appeared in front of his eyes.

[Your name is Roy, a detective who was invited to the town of Aurelong to solve problems for her friend Lucia, who works in the police station, and she sent you a letter, but the letter did not mention a specific appeal, only an exorcism. 】

[You came to town with two friends who can exorcise demons, and you feel a little tired, so you rest on the bench for a while, and your two friends Martha and York have gone to have iced tea, and you will come back later, and you will visit Lucia together. 】

Martha and York, it sounds like a man and a woman, Yu Xing guessed that in the small three-person deduction, the deduction players should not meet each other too late, and there will be no multiple camps, otherwise the game will be too variable, and it will not be able to reflect the theme of the deduction itself.

Then two of his teammates should be coming to him soon.

While waiting for someone, he opened the letter that had been opened in his bag and read it, it was the one Lucia had sent him.

Yu Xing got a rough idea of the background of the game from the letter: after Lucia was transferred from other towns to Aurelong, she was slightly dissatisfied with this place, especially since there seemed to be some ghostly incidents recently, which gave Lucia a headache, so she wrote to her old friend Roy as a detective, and asked Roy to bring two exorcisms...... Exorcists?

After waiting for five minutes, when Yu Xing yawned idlely, two teammates finally came to meet him.

"Hey, Brother Roy, we're back!" The crisp and sweet voice from behind made Yu Xing turn his head in surprise, and then he wanted to laugh for a while.

Nothing else, the main ...... These two teammates are so weird.

One is a little Lori who seems to be only one meter five in height, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a little baby fat on her face, black double ponytails tied up high, but wearing a very capable women's chiffon shirt, khaki high-waisted trousers, and a pair of boots.

She carried a large bag on her back, which looked like a bulging bag of explosives.

The other was a young man, who looked less than thirty, with good skin, a pale complexion, slightly long, slightly curly, and a sunny smile on his forehead.

But his dress was the opposite of his smile, he was covered in a big black robe, the hood of the black robe was pulled up, and most of his face was shrouded in a cloud, he was very tall, standing on the street like a walking black ghost, attracting many passers-by.

Little Lori and Little Ghost are also Chinese.

This......

Yu Xing looked at himself again.

The characters of the three of them, Roy, Martha, and York, are you sure they came together, and they look as if they are from three different time and space, which is simply ...... The slots are full.

"Yikes!" Little Lori should be Martha, she saw Yu Xing turn her face, her eyes lit up, and then she suppressed it, and expressed her happiness at this time in another way, "Brother Roy and Brother York are so handsome today, as the only lady in the team, I want to faint with joy~"

Her tone didn't want to be a little girl at all, but rather like a mature woman praising the opposite sex, which matched her style of dressing, forehead and head down.

"You're cute too~"

York winked at Martha, then turned to Yu Xing, who had already stood up, and said, "Roy, are we interviewing Lucia now?" ”

Yu Xing glanced at him, remembering the last sentence of Lucia's letter.

- Bring it quietly, if you can, I've been reassuring the townsfolk and my men to trust science, and they'll laugh at me if they know I'm shaken.

He shook his head and pointed to the black robe on York's body: "Your dress is too exaggerated, Lucia doesn't want to lose face, or ...... Take it off first? ”

[Lucia's opinion +10 (she is very grateful to you for thinking about her, being more at ease with you, and providing more comprehensive information)]

The sudden prompt made Yu Xing let out an "oh open" in his heart.

Even the NPC favorability is there, this deduction is really like a game.

York was stunned and seemed a little reluctant.

"Hahahaha, I said him when I drank iced tea just now, and he also said that dressing up like this has the taste of an exorcist, and I said that he is dressed like a demon and is lonely!" Little Lori laughed out loud without hesitation on the side, gloating.

York nodded helplessly, and whispered: "Eh~ I obviously took the initiative to seal my handsomeness with nowhere to place, you are really wronged......"

With that, he pulled down his hood, his slightly long hair tied up at the back of his head.

The tie was untied, and York was also wearing a black suit inside, with his hands empty, and he didn't take any packages. He put the black robe in the crook of his arm and smiled kindly: "Okay, can you go in now?" ”
