Chapter 35: Alice's Hell (6) - The corridor on the fifth floor

Although the road is a bit long and has several small branches, the direction of the main corridor is very clear.

It is not difficult for Yu Xing and the gambler to come all the way here, but other deducers who go out later can naturally come, and they will not be separated for too long.

Like now.

As soon as the two of them came out of the bathroom, they heard several familiar voices.

"Is this it, did the cryer go into the bathroom or some other fork in the road, or some other floor?"

"You can go in and have a look."

The question was asked by a female voice who jumped out, and the answer was by a plain male voice.

Sure enough, Yu Xing took two more steps forward, and saw Desolate and Huai outside the door.

The four of them took a look, all of which were expected.

Huai looked at the gambler and said meaningfully: "I saw that the hysteria was looking for you just now, so I guessed that you left first, but I didn't expect to really take this half-newcomer with you." ”

"Fortunately, at least it didn't hold back, so you don't have to worry." The gambler replied with a blank and curious gaze, and then said, "There are no cryers in the bathroom, but there is something unusual, you can also go and have a look." ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Huai Bu replied nonchalantly, passed the two of them, and walked towards the bathroom.

"Bye-bye, by the way, the others are coming over too, beware of the depravity line~" Arabai waved at the two of them, blinked, and followed into the bathroom.

At the same time, Yu Xing heard the voices of other people talking in the distance.

Either the fork in the road ahead is not long, and people can find out the details soon after entering, or everyone wants to finish along the main road first, in short, listen to the sound, and soon the people who come after will meet them.

However, the structure of the castle is still unknown, the status of each floor is not clear, and there are only two kinds of ghosts corresponding to the eight deducers, and many uncertainties make him not want to go with too many people now.

Yu Xing calculated that there was still a long time before dinner time, enough for him and the gambler to open another map.

"Senior gambler, shall we go up or down?"

At the end of another fork in the bathroom is a staircase that leads to the second and fifth floors, which normally the deducer would not choose the fifth floor directly for the sake of safety, and everyone has an inherent concept in their minds, the farther away from the original location, the more dangerous it is in a terrifying and closed environment.

However, the gambler didn't take the usual path, he glanced at Yu Xing, and pointed up: "Let's go, let's go up to the fifth floor and take a look." ”

Yu Xing didn't have any opinions, and still followed behind the gambler, dutifully playing the role of a little budding newcomer who had no opinions.

The staircase was long and folded, a bit like the structure of a corridor in reality, and after going up the staircase with four twelve-step steps, they stepped onto the ground on the fifth floor.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's a bit dark. Yu Xing said and stepped back behind the gambler.

The walls on the fifth floor are a very old color, which I can't describe, it seems that just the ordinary red has been stained with strange stains that cannot be erased, thus giving a strange effect.

After going up the stairs, there are three corridors facing different directions, on the left, on the right, and in front, and none of them are lit up, and they are dark and dark, and can only be lit by the wall lamps in the stairs.

"What's that!"

Suddenly, Yu Xing faintly saw something standing in the middle of several corridors, very tall and seemingly humanoid.

The gambler squinted his eyes, the muscles on his body tensed, he had just seen the huge corpse researcher on the observation deck, and he was so impressed that he couldn't help but think about it when he saw something big at this time.

After a few seconds, the gambler said, "...... It doesn't seem to move. ”

Yu Xing also observed for a while, and then determined that the vague shadow blocking the middle of the road was not a living thing, but just a decorative armor.

However, in the case of the uncertainty of the form of the ghost, the armor is not necessarily just armor.

"No...... Our night vision is not so strong, this environment is too dangerous, in case there are any ghosts mixed in, it is difficult for us to find out. The gambler's tone was a little dissatisfied, "We lack a flashlight or other lighting tools, and there is no one in the room, otherwise I would have brought it out directly." ”

Yu Xing remembered his candle tears, which were a candlestick.

But...... If it burns, whether it is a red candle or a white candle, it will trigger the ability and it is not easy to control.

"Since we don't have a flashlight or anything like that in our room, it means we need to find it ourselves, and maybe there's one nearby," he suggested. Let's look for it, if we can find it, we can continue walking, and if we can't find it, we will go to the second floor to explore. ”

"Okay, then look for it."

In the range that can be reached by the staircase wall lamp, there are several large cabinets and tables standing quietly in the corners.

Yu Xing then walked to a cabinet and pulled the drawer from the bottom up.

The drawers were full of useless clutter, or they were empty, and the gambler had no gain, so he began to chat with him while looking for them.

"Alas, fortunately, you're from the Alienation Line."

There is no one else around, and it doesn't matter if a gambler asks this question.

"How do you know?" Yu Xing did not deny it.

The gambler was leaning over to the top of a two-meter-high cabinet, but he didn't touch anything, but fell a hand of dust: "Actually, I heard of you, I didn't think about it at first, but then I pondered for a long time and found that I had an impression." ”

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and searched for a different table: "Is it a rookie competition?" ”

The only way he can let the differentiated-level deducers know is through that live broadcast, or through Zhao Mou's mouth, and it is obvious that the former has a better chance.

"Yes~ I didn't watch it at the time, but someone in our guild went, Ren Yi you know no, my good buddy, he said you did well." The gambler smiled, "That buddy of mine is a man of few words, and he can praise people, which means that you are really good." ”

Ren Yi?

Yu Xing has been busy with real cases recently, and he really hasn't paid much attention to the differentiated-level circles, and the star deducer says more and more and says less, if he has an impression of everyone, it must be difficult for a strong man.

He only smiled: "I thought that most of the people who watched the live broadcast would think that I was going to be a degenerate." ”

"You are mistaken, the people on the right path can see people accurately, and whether they are depraved or not can be seen from small details. And...... Ren Yi told me, the witch of Qu Zhiqing was also there at that time, and she said that you can never be the depravity line. ”

When the gambler mentioned Qu Zhiqing, he obviously had a hint of indescribability: "Do you have anything to do with her, she seems to know you very well and protects you, our research institute has studied her for a long time, and it is the first time I have seen her to be good to others." ”

"You ...... Do you study her? Yu Xing touched a copper lock on the table, and he didn't know what to do, so he choked on this word that was a little sensitive to him, "How to study?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, we just have a video of her existence in the video area, and we study her like a boss in the deduction, such as how to deal with her, escape and kill." The gambler had already ripped off his hood, revealing brown hair that was neither long nor short, he scratched his head and explained, "She is notorious, although she is not a degenerate line, but it is more cruel than the depravity line, I have never been able to figure out how the absurd world assigned her to the alienation line." ”

"In short, the people at the research institute have summarized a strategy of "How to Survive the Angry Qu Zhiqing", and it sells well......"

Yu Xing: "......"

He knew that Qu Zhiqing was very cruel to others, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel.

As for why Qu Zhiqing is not a degenerate line - in fact, he probably knows the answer, because there are people in this world who support the kindness in Qu Zhiqing's heart.

Well, he's talking about himself.

As long as he lives, Qu Yanqing will not become a degenerate without a bottom line, even without him, there is Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan is also an existence with a different meaning for Qu Yanqing.

But in the face of the gambler, he just said: "I know Qu Zhiqing, she is a very responsible senior and has taught me a lot of things." ”

The gambler's eyes glared under the mask, and the corners of his eyes twitched faintly.

…… Predecessor?

…… Responsible??

Is this talking about the same person!?

"Then she may finally realize that the lone wolf is too disadvantaged in many cases, and is ready to cultivate trusted teammates......" The gambler's brows furrowed, "It's a pity, Ren Yi originally said that you have great potential, and I still want to have a good relationship with you and introduce you to my other brother's guild, but now it seems that ...... Will the witch retaliate against the robbery? Why don't I take a gamble? ”

Yu Xing was interested: "Bet on whether she will retaliate against you?" ”

The gambler snorted: "Bet on whether I can survive in her hands." ”

That's a good attitude.

However, since the topic of guilds was mentioned, Yu Xing happened to be thinking about adding guilds, so he took the opportunity to ask: "I remember that the number one guild is called late night, how about this guild?" ”

Guilds are really important, for example, now entering a deduction, the righteous line is less than the alienation line and the fallen line, not because the righteous line itself is less crowded, but the people on the righteous path line like to team up to play games, and the number of people in the team is large, and the chance of the deducers of other lines running into them is small.

And the way they form a team is through guilds. The research institute is a very demanding guild, not only to accept the right path, but also to assess the ability, can be used for intelligence collection, strategy layout in order to finally stay.

In addition to the research institute, there are many guilds with a mix of various members, so you can get the best faction that can play with each other when you conduct deductions.

"Late at night? Oh, the first guild, of course, it's awesome, if you are taken seriously, it can get you any resources. The gambler first boasted, and Yu Xing waited for a turnaround.

Sure enough, the next second turned around: "But you should also want to get it, the resource allocation of the big guild is very strict, maybe you work hard to get a sacrifice, and you have to hand it in after the deduction, and the guild only pays points." ”

The gambler patted the ash on his hand and sneered: "Also, the late-night president Medusa is not a good stubble, and the people who offend her often disappear after a long time, by the way, she especially likes good-looking men, if you have any understanding, you will know that the high-level people in the middle of the night are all handsome guys, or beautiful women...... Anyway, the water is very deep in it, and there are pros and cons. ”

"Oh." Yu Xing's interest in late night was more than half extinguished.

"Don't believe it, if Lao Tzu hadn't had the foresight to join the research institute, maybe he would have been robbed by Medusa! Hey, life ......."

In Yu Xing's ears, the gambler's tone gradually rushed towards the part that was beyond his strength.

He chose to skip the gambler's boast: "What grade is Medusa?" Compared to Qu Zhiqingβ€”"

The gambler pondered, "Medusa is desperate, just like our president, the Prism Servant, and the demons in the surviving investigation team. In the top few guilds, almost all of them have one to three levels of despair, and the rank is green...... She is a mourning level, and it is rumored that she is only one step away from the despair level, but after all, she has not been promoted, and she is against Medusa......"

"Hey, their styles are different, Qu Zhiqing is too terrifying because of his own strength, and Medusa knows how to take advantage of the situation, in terms of comprehensive strength, Qu Zhiqing will definitely suffer."

Yu Xing nodded, regardless of whether the gambler in the dark saw his movements or not.

With the gambler, he knew at least one thing.

In the current absurd deduction game, there doesn't seem to be a real-level deduction player.

The major guilds all use the despair level as the ceiling of combat power, and even a guy like Lingren who has lived for so long has not been able to promote to the truth, which is a bit strange...... How strict are the requirements for promotion to the real level?

"Anyway, don't think about it, if Qu Title Qingzhen trains you as a teammate, then you don't have a choice at all. Oh yes, you don't know my name yet, my name is Zeng Lai. The gambler closed the drawer, stood in front of Yu Xing, and stretched out a dusty hand, "You can not tell me your real name, or you can tell me that the deduction system has done a very good job in the protection of members, and there is a price to kill other deductioners in reality, and there is no ability to restrict the deduction from entering the absurd world, and you can't be trapped." ”

"I see." Yu Xing reached out and shook Zeng Lai's hand, then casually rubbed the ash on his pants, and turned around to continue rummaging through the cabinet.

This was the fifth cabinet he had found, and it was located a little further into the hallway, just over two meters from the armor ornament in the middle of the hallway. If it still doesn't work, he's going to give up and find lighting tools elsewhere.

Perhaps, this is the method used by Alice's castle to restrain the deducer.

While looking for it, Yu Xing said: "I also have a lucky character in my name, you call me lucky ......"

"Understood, Xiao Xing!" Although Yu Xing did not say his real name, Zeng Lai changed his name very familiarly, and Yu Xing could see that Zeng Lai's attitude towards him was similar to wooing.

Perhaps this is also a release of goodwill to the "backer behind him" Qu Zhiqing.

Well, this is already the first time that Yu Xing has used the name of Qu Zhiqing to get an unknown number of benefits.

It's good, it's good to eat soft rice.

Zeng Lai was just about to chat with Yu Xing for a while, when he saw Yu Xing's body.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Yu Xing took out a palm-sized wooden box from the drawer with a strange expression.
