Chapter 14: Schrödinger's Deduction
The red light swayed, and half of Yu Xing's arm was reflected red, and he turned his gaze, and by the candlelight, he saw a big hole in the abdomen of the corpse on the iron bed.
The long blood wound was hastily sewn up with needles and threads, and the wound was hideous.
"This one has a ...... too," Yu Xing moved to the other corpses for a general look, ignoring the terrifying gaze of the corpses following in his direction, "This one too...... Dare to love the corpse carnival means that the group seppuku is coming. ”
Thanks to the corpses, they couldn't move, otherwise they would have to beat this underwhelmed person to death.
Recalling the words on the note, Yu was fortunate to know that the bedroom key must have been sewn into the stomach of one of the corpses.
Twenty-three percent probability?
Thinking of this, Yu Xing began to observe if there were any special markings on these corpses.
If not, it means that he can most likely pick out the wounds of each corpse and find it slowly, if there is, you need to pay attention to it, you can't choose the wrong one, otherwise something is likely to happen.
This point is not explicitly stated on the note, and Yu Xing needs to pay attention to it himself.
He'd heard from some people that the mortality rate of the Personality Mask Evaluation Game is relatively low, only about 30%, and many puzzles can be solved in more than one way, mainly because the system will determine the player's personality tendencies through the player's choices.
For example, if you don't get the key to the microwave...... If you have the strength to smash it open, you can also get follow-up clues.
And just as Yu Xing was concentrating on observation, a sound of footsteps slipped behind him.
As soon as Yu Xing looked up, he saw a red candle flashing.
"Will it move?" He turned around and counted the number of red candles in the hall, and there were still twenty-three candles, which had not decreased, and the position was correct.
"So the extra one just now...... It's a killer. ”
This is not surprising.
Is the killer who only hears his note and doesn't see anyone willing to show up?
"Knock knock."
Suddenly, the iron bed in front of him rang twice.
"Knock knock."
The sound was rhythmic, like someone was knocking.
Yu Xing followed the bed board and set her eyes on the bottom of the bed......
Nothing.
Only a small half-extinguished candle lay silently.
"It's another means of creating psychological fear......" Yu Xing stared at the candle calmly for a while, and then narrowed his eyes after a while.
It's kind of weird...... He felt his stomach tickle.
Also, there seems to be something in my stomach that is not very comfortable.
"Oh." He lifted the hem of his shirt, and sure enough, a wound with extremely unprofessional stitching techniques had appeared on his abdomen.
Not yet...... It doesn't hurt.
He reached out and touched it, and the completely different touch of the line from the skin made his eyes flash with thought.
"If you catch the doctor and don't kill him directly, you have to let the doctor play such a game with him, the purpose of the killer should not be just to take revenge."
"He always wanted to make the doctor scared."
"For example, the key is sewn into the human body, but the killer does not specify whether it is sewn in the corpse or in the living body, and at this time, there are stitch marks on my stomach, isn't it a hint that the key is in my own body?"
"You want me to play self-harm?" Yu Xing sneered, "It's too naïve." ”
From his senses, he could be sure that he did have a key in his stomach now, and he could take it out whenever he wanted.
And he is not shy about getting hurt.
Can...... He just didn't want to do what the killer wanted.
In the deduction game, the player is already in a weak position, and there is no such thing as forcing injuries such as "plot killing", and there must be a way to pass this puzzle without injury.
Ignoring the obvious scar on his abdomen, he used his scalpel to cut the line of the abdomen of the corpse in front of him, and before he could reach in to find it, the corpse sat up all at once.
"Corpses?" Yu Xing took a step back and watched the corpse's movements with interest.
The corpse trembled, and the candle was shaken off, leaving two drops of hot red wax on the ground.
Immediately afterward, the corpse rolled over and fell to the floor with a muffled thud, crawling towards Yu Xing in a position like the classic gacoco in a Japanese horror movie.
"Ah......h Don't be angry, or I'll sew it back for you if you lie down, I should sew it better than that person. Yu Xing asked tentatively.
The corpse, of course, would not heed his words.
Due to the stiffness, it was very difficult for its limbs to bend its joints, and although it caused a complete sense of horror, it also made its crawling speed very touching, and Yu Xing felt that he could walk faster than it when he walked backwards.
"Tsk...... It seems that the key is not on this corpse, well, is this the punishment for choosing the wrong one? ”
Looking at the thing crawling towards him, Yu Xing thought as he moved: then you can't test them one by one, one is fine, if you are unlucky and make twenty-two mistakes in a row, this place must not be a walking corpse.
I don't know how the attack power of the corpse is, whether it can "physically exorcise ghosts", Yu Xing thought about whether to scratch it and try it.
"Da Da Da ......"
A sound of footsteps passed by him again, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, and as he passed by, he seemed to blow cold air on Yu Xing's neck.
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows: Is the killer provocative?
He gave up the idea of teasing the corpse and glanced elsewhere.
He remembered that the human body, there was still a place there.
This is also a question to be given.
……
Two minutes later, the power supply system returned to normal, and the lighting equipment in the hall, kitchen, toilets, and dissecting room was lit up again, enveloping the entire building in a "peaceful" atmosphere.
Yu Xing looked at the frozen heart that was cut in half in his hand, as well as the golden key in the center of the heart, and was a little stunned for a while: "Don't blame, I didn't mean to break your heart......"
The refrigerator door was wide open, the freezer was dragged out, and the poor intestine that had been chopped into pieces by a kitchen knife lay on the board.
It occurred to him that there were also "human bodies" in the dissection room and refrigerator, and the keys could be placed in both places as well.
There were too many jars in the dissection room, and there was a corpse chasing and crawling behind him, which was not very convenient, so he came to the kitchen first.
Because the corpses outside all had wounds in the abdomen, he destroyed the large intestine first, and cut the heart before finding the key.
Really......
You don't need to be chased by more than 20 corpses, you don't need to perform seppuku skills, and you can pass the level without injury, it just depends on whether the player can think of it.
The moment he saw the golden key, the power supply system was restored, and at the same time, the scars on his own body and the feeling of something strange in his stomach faded, as if it had never existed.
This is a technique that can be used in some deduction games, and someone once mentioned it to him twice, saying that the technique was inspired by "Schrödinger's Cat".
- If he takes the key from his stomach, then there must be no key in his heart.
If he knows in his heart that he has a key in his stomach but does not take it, then this is just a "possibility", and if he can cover up the past with hallucinations and many other words, there will be a chance that the key will exist in his heart.
Leave room for the system to play, and the system will help the player survive according to the purpose of the deduction, which is infinitely magnified in the personality mask evaluation game, because the focus of the deduction is evaluation rather than survival.
Yu Xing took the key out of the kitchen, and the hall outside became the same as it had been when the lights were turned on, there were no corpses, no candles, and even the poor little one crawling on the ground was gone.
He walked towards the locked door, passing the autopsy room halfway through, and he went in to take a look at the time.
Countdown [2:21:07].
Plenty of time.
The bedroom is located on the left side of the hall, and the door is embedded in the wall and locked by a large lock.
Yu Xingzai looked at it carefully, the dark brown wooden door was thick and deep, faintly revealing the coldness of resistance.
He opened the door with the key and pushed a crack open—
In the crack of the door, a man about his height was clinging to the corner, staring at him without blinking!
"Yo, you are—" Before Yu Xing's polite words were finished, the figure disappeared silently, so that Yu Xing only felt that the other party was vague when he recalled the appearance of the figure, and he couldn't even remember any specific image.
"Oops~ I hate it, I have tied people to my house, and I am quite shy." Yu Xing looked shy, but in fact, he stretched out his leg and used some dexterity to open the door, and clenched the scalpel in his right hand.
In case of an open door kill-
Well, there was no door to kill.
Surprisingly, the scene in the bedroom has a completely different decoration style from other places, the walls are white, the decorations are simple metallic, there are small objects with a sense of design everywhere, and there are green potted plants in the corners.
The most outrageous thing is that there is also a large window in the room, which is covered by light green curtains, and the light that belongs to the sun faintly penetrates.
The figure was gone.
Yu Xing turned around and closed the door, then walked to the window, opened the curtains, and observed the window frame for the first time.
He reached out and pushed, but it didn't push, and the window looked welded.
After confirming that the figure did not leave here, Yu Xing looked up at the window.
There really is a view outside.
It seems that it is noon for a while, and on the street outside the window, pedestrians are dressed differently and walking in a hurry, and the shops on both sides of the street sell everything, clothing stores, gift shops, and it is still a relatively high-grade place.
It's just that this window blocks out all the sounds belonging to the outside world, and the house is still silent.
Yu Xing immediately noticed that something was wrong, he stood by the window and looked out, and what he saw was actually a top-down perspective.
He estimated it in his heart...... The place where the killer is located is at least five floors up!
"The logic is not right, this kind of place is acceptable to be suburban or underground, but it is unlikely to be at the top." Yu Xing lowered his head and pondered, the existence of this bedroom and this window made the originally closed environment suddenly have a passage, combined with the previous speculation about the killer's personality and psychological state, an idea came out.
"If so, it's kind of interesting." Yu Xing curled the corners of his mouth, left the window, and began to seriously examine the layout of the bedroom.
The beds are neat, the wardrobe is against the wall, and there is a bookshelf next to it with hundreds of books with blurred faces.
Yu Xing opened the wardrobe and took a look, but it was empty.
"It doesn't seem like it's going to leave me with a clue that is too obvious...... But it doesn't matter, the lack of clues is also a proof that I should be right. ”
He was not disappointed at all, and walked over to the desk, where there was a thick book with a very textured cover, which was very comfortable to the touch.
After opening it, Yu Xing found that it was a diary, a diary that had not been dated from beginning to end.
[I just built this place today, my morgue!] My Secret Garden! No one could disturb me, and I trembled with excitement at the thought of the days to come. 】
