The goddess was squatting by the river, wiping the area around the wound with the wet corner of her clothes.
Yu Xing's footsteps were not easy to hear amid the sound of flowing water, but the goddess turned around after he got closer.
"Are you back?" Her eyes fell on the suitcase in Yu Xing's hand, "Thank you, are you not lost?"
By then, there was some sweat on Yu Xing's forehead, his breathing was slightly unsteady, and he looked like he had run all the way. I don't know, but I really thought he was worried about the injured goddess: "It's a bit difficult to tell the direction in the forest.
, I walked around for a while, but I was late."
With that said, he quickly rushed to the goddess and looked at the scars on her legs.
The speed of the blood flow has slowed down significantly. Now, covered by the cold river water, the blood has half-congealed and surged at the front of the scar, no longer falling.
The goddess' handling method was very professional, and Yu Xing didn't need to do anything. And Yu Xing didn't use the medical kit much. In the past, when he was injured when he was a child, his family doctor helped him.
He recalled in his mind the goddess' skill in treating wounds, so he opened the medical kit and handed it over: "I don't know how to do this, you can do it yourself."
The goddess smiled, took the box, picked out the medicine she needed, and began to bandage herself. Yu Xing watched from beginning to end and felt that her technique might be really practiced. After all, there were so many people in the village cutting meat for worship, and there was no doctor.
Although he didn't know what method the Goddess used to keep a group of skeletons "alive", he guessed that if someone was really going to die, in order to maintain the illusion that people who believe in gods would not die, the Goddess would definitely help treat them.
.
"Can you carry me back later?" The bandage was almost done, and the goddess did not surprise Yu Xing.
Yu Xing smiled, a little embarrassed: "Of course, everyone in the village respects you. As a newcomer, of course I will be obedient."
"No, I don't want you to help me because of this... I just think you have a good eye, so I kept you. I hope you can treat me like a friend." The goddess frowned, "Now
I am not ordering you to do anything for me as a goddess, I am just asking for your help."
The admired goddess actually spoke to him in such an equal tone, and Yu Xing showed some flatterment at the right time.
"no problem."
After a while.
He knelt down and carried the goddess on his back, feeling a heavy weight suddenly on his back, and unfamiliar breathing rhythmically coming and going behind his ears.
"Thank you for your hard work." The goddess didn't show any closeness immediately, but she was just a little less forceful than at the beginning.
After the two returned to the village, Yu Xing found that it was getting dark again, and the time every day was at least three times faster, which shortened his daytime activities a lot.
However, the time at night must have also shortened. He had no way of knowing how many hours he had slept in the past few days. In short, it was a number that made him feel sleepy from time to time.
At night, Yu Xing slept at Granny Li's house as usual. Granny Li didn't do anything wrong today, and Yu Xing slept peacefully.
His mood became more and more stable, because clues of what was going on here had already emerged, and all the things he wanted to find out but could not find out, when the goddess and the water ghost took action against him, he would take the opportunity to know.
He was afraid that there was no way to advance this incident. Now that there was a way, he just had to wait for the opportunity.
It is worth mentioning that one day's thinking made him suspect that he was in the realm of some kind of ghost, and his memory was blocked by this powerful ghost.
The reason why he thinks so is because he can't think of any other reason to strip away his memory, even the actor can't do this.
After all, the actor is still a human being. Even if he possesses mysterious powers that are difficult for him to understand at first, he cannot directly send his body or consciousness into such a realistic scene.
Of course, if in the memory that he cannot remember, reality has passed for a long time, and the actor's ability may have become stronger... But Yu Xing feels that this possibility is not as high as he thinks now.
Yu Xing remembered that when he was imprisoned in the experimental base, he had to draw blood, take slices, and test various values with medical equipment imported from abroad that was not so efficient at first.
But in his anger and pain, he noticed something that shouldn't be in the base.
It was a black, indescribable thing, suspended at the end of dozens of tubes inserted into his skin every day, transporting wisps of unknown mist into his body.
The mist made his whole body cold, and he could also feel that, under the transformation of this mass of things, his body was constantly changing away from humans, and his mind was gradually alienated.
The experimenters could see this mass, but no one dared to approach it, only the actors dared to approach it.
The actor would come to check it every once in a while, and then smiled and said to the already numb Yu Xing: "I did not misjudge you, the fusion is really good, surpassing all other experimental subjects so far. Young Master, it is not in vain for me to
You spend so much time."
Occasionally, Yu Xing could see other weirdly dressed people coming in and out with the actors, and overhear something with his overly sensitive hearing.
For example, the actors and those people often have to enter some other place, and the most common name they call that place is "absurdity."
There are many, many ghosts in absurdity, which Yu Xing guessed based on what he heard.
Very rarely, he heard the word "game".
He gradually guessed that the black mass that was transforming him and that was contrary to science seemed to be brought out by the actor from the absurd, a sacrifice or a fragment.
From then on, he wanted to know what the actor got from that absurd place. If the mysterious power in the actor came from there, he wanted to go there too.
If he could get those powers, he wouldn't be so passive, right?
It can’t be like an exhibit being pointed at by so many people, right?
Even his alienated thoughts kept reminding him that with his own power, he could kill all these people, right? The actor's whole body was burned by the flames, and he screamed and died in pain.
But until he escaped from the base, he didn't find any more information about that absurd place, and now...
Yu Xing is very confident in himself.
After his body and mind were transformed, he didn't believe that he couldn't find clues to the absurd in the future. He understood himself, and after he was free, no matter what happened along the way, he would always look for the absurd.
Because the actor was not there on the day he left the base, he did not have a direct confrontation with the actor.
So the actor is still alive.
In order to prevent the actor from being disadvantageous to him again, he will definitely try his best to seize the initiative and ensure that he is not manipulated at will.
If we say that he is now in the absurd, in the realm of absurd ghosts - then everything will be explained.
"Although I can't be sure, this is indeed the highest possibility. I hope my understanding of myself is correct." Yu Xing rested his hand on his pillow in the night outside the window.
Before going to bed, he borrowed Granny Li's bathroom to take a bath, which Granny Li heated with fire.
Yu Xing had almost never seen such an old method of boiling water. He was born into a wealthy family and was an official in ancient times. After the founding of the Republic of China, he ran a local chamber of commerce and did all kinds of business.
He has never been involved in business, but he knows more or less about it. In short, there are people from his family in both the black and white circles, so he has always lived a life with very good material conditions.
I've had showers since I was a kid.
In the experimental base, there was either a shower, or he was soaked in a weird liquid and had no chance to take a shower at all.
So taking a hot bath with a wooden bucket for the first time was really a bit novel for him, but this novelty faded away after thinking about the current situation.
"Suppose I am right. If you want to leave here, there may be two ways. First, investigate clearly what happened between the two villages and restore a complete chain. Then you can lift the restriction and return to reality. Second, kill
That water ghost...because the water ghost is the only supernatural thing I saw here that definitely appeared." Yu Xing muttered to himself, organizing all his thoughts into two tasks.
Of these two tasks, the first one is more difficult for him.
Because if he wanted to figure out the whole incident, he had to keep going along with the irregular flow of time. The second mission, killing the water ghost, was much clearer.
Yu Xing pinched his knuckles and felt the power in his body: "I don't know why my strength is so much weaker than in memory. Is this also a kind of restriction?"
Not to mention that his strength is 10% less than when he first escaped, the sensitivity of his five senses has also dropped a lot, and his physical strength is even worse than that of a normal person, as if his entire body has been destroyed by a curse from the inside.
He knew that the curse on his body would not be eliminated in the future, because when he was touched by the goddess for the first time, he had a cold and cold feeling for a moment. This feeling was too familiar to him. He had a pipe inserted to receive the mist from Heituanzi every day.
, this feeling will continue.
But at that time, his physical fitness was at its most terrifying stage. The cold aura could only bring him pain, and the real harm was not great. Unlike now, Yu Xing felt that if he aroused that surge of aura, he would not be able to escape.
He would die in half an hour.
Die...resurrection after death, and repeat the process.
However, he weighed it carefully, and if he really unleashed the aura in a suicidal manner, the water ghost would definitely be wiped out in ashes.
It is an indiscriminate attack when the breath bursts out, which may hurt innocent people.
However, he has no good intentions now. Whether these villagers are innocent or not is not a consideration for him, so it is not difficult to kill the water ghost.
"Let's take a look tomorrow... try to figure out the incident as much as possible." Yu Xing said softly and closed his eyes.
His spirit also needs to be nourished.
…
[Photographer Qinggui Yiqing has detected that you used your natural ability "Dream Intervention" on the deduction player Yu Xing. Now the restrictions on you will be strengthened. In this deduction, you have lost your dream-related abilities. 】
Although the deduction system was silent in Yu Xing's mind, as an individual hidden in Yu Xing's personality mask, Yi Qing could still receive warnings from the system alone from time to time.
In an illusory bamboo house, Yiqing was lying on a bamboo chair, with his hair spread out. He was fanning himself with a fan, smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking like a bad student who didn't listen.
"Why are you so strict? I just increased the probability of him dreaming about the past. Let me tell you, even if I don't interfere, with his ability, he will be able to recall part of it very quickly." She closed her fan with a snap and shouted.
Taking a sip of hot tea, "It's better to let this happen in a dream. I can still watch. Wouldn't it be better to get to know him better?"
[A deducer's promotion requires his own efforts, and no external ability can interfere. You have violated the rules.]
The system really responded to him, and Yi Qing took another sip of tea: "What a great opportunity this is. You only prompted me to follow him, but you didn't tell me what kind of person he was. If you didn't tell me, I would naturally have to do it myself."
Think of a way. Well, I know you are not a living being, and you have no emotions, just an empty will. But isn't weighing the pros and cons what you are best at?"
He seemed to be talking to himself in the air, but he was not embarrassed at all. You smiled to himself, and the old god was saying: "Since you deliberately asked me to monitor him after discovering the abnormality in his data... then you should put some caution at all."
The authority allows me to monitor him."
"Well, I understand the meaning of surveillance. You are afraid that this abnormal data will undergo uncontrollable changes, and you need a strong enough person or ghost to contain it, so I agreed."
This green-shooting ghost of unknown age lazily raised his eyes, looked at the misty chaos outside the bamboo house window and the strange dreams that flashed through the chaos from time to time, and said in a negotiating tone: "But if you are a boring person, I will
I will not agree to this job. Most of what I said to him in the bar is true. You must have heard it. I followed him because I was interested in him. It can be said that... my interest in him comes first. You
The tip is only the second one, so if you want me to continue to keep an eye on this unstable factor for you, don’t stop me from exploring this interesting person, what do you think?”
[You have violated the rules. In view of your mission, this violation will not be punished, but you still need to stop interfering in the promotion game of Deducer Yu Xing. ]
"Okay~ okay~ Anyway, I've seen part of it. It's more fun than I thought. I won't be bored in the next ten years." Yiqing accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't bargain with the system anymore. Then suddenly
Thinking of something, "However, the more I read, the more I feel that there is something wrong with Yu Xing's age."
"Not only will he not be killed, but he will also not die of old age?" When the system prompted him to sign an agreement with Yu Xing, he did not mention this.
Although Yiqing has no regrets now, she already feels that she has been tricked by the system.
This time, the system remained silent, as if it didn't hear his question.
…
Have a good night's sleep.
Yu Xing returned unconsciously under the warm sunshine and found that he had not dreamed today.
Sure enough, when he was about to dream about the mountain village last night, he was intercepted by a mysterious force. This force would not allow him to obtain excess information through the medium of dreams.
He closed his eyes for a moment and suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice: "Brother Yu Xing, brother Yu Xing, get up!"
A young and energetic voice sounded from his ears. Yu Xing opened his eyes in surprise and saw Mai Mai's little face.
He suppressed the surprise in his eyes and looked around.
Good guy, he's back to the old Zhang family again...and it's still the old Zhang family that hasn't turned into a deserted village.
