Almost as soon as he caught a glimpse of the red light, Yu Xing backed away from the door at a speed that was difficult for others to understand, pressed his back against the wall, and slapped the mask hanging around his waist on his face.
Zeng Lai and others didn't react. They only felt a gust of wind on their faces. Then Yu Xing moved from the door to the outside and put on the mask.
Several people present sighed inwardly——
So fast!
Is this guy Xing's speed so abnormal?
Deducers who have been walking in danger all year round immediately thought, if they use this speed to carry out a sneak attack - can they avoid it?
Or, will they have time to use the sacrifice?
Although they didn't want to believe it, they all had to admit that unless it was a defensive sacrifice that had been left outside and could take effect automatically, they would have no time to get anything.
The surprise and vague fear were quickly covered up by the three of them. Huangbai pinched his mask nervously, as if he was ready to put it on at any time: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Yu Xing chuckled.
He recalled it. With his reaction speed, he didn't know if his eyes would be judged as "seeing" him. Mainly because he was careless and didn't expect this sight to appear here suddenly.
These are the same eyes as Alice.
He has been warned by the deduction system not to let Alice recognize him, otherwise the consequences will not be too wonderful. There is a large eye in the sky outside the castle. Except for Alice herself, Yu Xing has never seen anyone else in the castle.
With similar things, I can't help but relax my vigilance.
As a result, Alice put a surprise for him in the showroom!
Huai glanced inside: "Those eyes look familiar, are they Alice?"
A thread in his mind was touched, and he added: "Well, I can't say it's Alice."
Because Alice's eyes don't shine.
The eyes glowed red, as if they were burning silently. In addition, there was a stiffness unique to machinery. You could tell it was fake at first glance, but it was just as scary as the real thing.
Especially the vague feeling of gaze, which really makes people suspect that Alice is sitting in some undiscovered room, watching everyone through these false eyes.
But it's not ten o'clock yet, and Alice is not in the ghost camp. Why does Sachi wear a mask?
While Huai's mind was spinning, Yu Xing had already put on his mask and walked in again.
A one-minute countdown appeared on his system panel. Other than that, everything was peaceful. Those eyes did nothing, and Yu Xing did not sense any malice from them.
"She should have escaped." Yu Xing thought to himself.
He had just unleashed the fastest reaction speed this body could use. In other words, his face disappeared before it could be "imaged" in the scarlet eyes.
In this way, Alice is not sure that she will not kill the "thief" after seeing the "thief" she misses so much.
Seeing Yu Xing walking back in, the other three followed suit. Huai skillfully touched the crystal light switch on the wall. With a "pop" sound, the showroom was plunged into a dark purple light.
This showroom is very empty, with independent glass covers on both sides displaying collections. On the shelves behind the collections are some old objects that are not as valuable as the collections, such as a rusty small clock, a copper kettle, a pipe and an unknown item.
Ancient coins from any dynasty, Huozhezi are among them.
The pair of glowing eyes is one of the collections. It is placed on a soft cushion and covered with square glass. It faces the door, so that no matter who comes, they can have a panoramic view.
Yu Xing walked forward and met his eyes.
"Luckily, what's going on?" Zeng Lai asked while looking for Huozhezi on the shelf.
He must have discovered something when he suddenly put on the mask, but luckily he didn't remind them to wear it too, which meant that the matter was not directed at them.
There was a vague guess in his mind, but just to be on the safe side, Zeng Lai decided to ask clearly.
Yu Xing did not answer for the time being, but silently lifted up the glass cover, grabbed the two mechanical eyes, wrapped them in soft pads, and threw them in the corner.
After doing this, he said: "Alice's eyes may exist in a certain place. It's best to destroy them if you see them. Otherwise, after ten o'clock in the evening, they will become the coordinate points for Alice to catch us."
"It's not just that." Huai thought thoughtfully. He was thinking the same thing as Zeng Lai, but Zeng Lai couldn't say it directly because he was always a cold person. He asked: "Are you avoiding Alice's sight?"
?Could it be that...you are the convener."
Although he used questions, his tone was very firm.
Eight deducers entered Alice's castle together. If anyone is special and has something to do with Alice, it can only be the convener who has experienced Aliceland version 1.0.
Everyone has speculated in their minds about whether the convener survived the previous version, or whether he was not special at all and just opened a new Alice Hell by chance.
Zeng Lai looked at Yu Xing and found that Yu Xing did not deny it.
"Good guy, it turns out you were the one who summoned me!"
In their center, the convener must know the most information. If the convener is willing to stand up and explain the content, it will definitely contribute a lot to everyone's survival rate.
But of course this is just an ideal result. There are too many reasons for the convener to hide. Unexpectedly, the convener seems to be standing in front of them now, and even has the same position as them.
More surprise than surprise.
Yu Xing thought about it and realized that there seemed to be nothing to hide.
Anyway, Han Xinyi and Han Zhiyong knew that he was the one who started the deduction, so it wouldn't hurt to tell these harmless people.
He said: "Yes, it's me. But the layout and gameplay of Alice Hell and Alice Paradise are completely different, and I don't have much advantage. And for some reasons...Alice doesn't want to see me. So where she can see,
I need a mask."
Zeng Lai found the fire certificate on the shelf and weighed it: "In this case, there is nothing to say for now. We can chat when we have time, but now... we have found the lighting tools, let's go to the fifth floor."
Perhaps he was worried that Yu Xing had something that would be inconvenient to tell others, so he changed the subject very considerately.
Huai was silent for a moment, and felt that now was not the best time to ask these questions, so he coughed: "Okay, I got the Huozhezi for you, so let's separate here. Huangbai and I will go find the stairs, and you can go get the keys.
.”
"Sure." Zeng Lai looked around the shelves and agreed.
Huang Bai straightened his ponytail and followed Huai out. Before leaving, he looked at Yu Xing with his big eyes with interest.
Yu Xing also glanced at her and saw deep interest in her eyes.
Yu Xing: "..." It seems that he has received extra attention?
…
Although the showroom was empty, Yu Xing and Zeng Lai did not leave immediately.
After all, it is a place where system authentication requires a key to enter... Although they did not listen to the system, there was obviously some clue left here.
Alice even left a pair of eyes here to monitor, which is enough to show the importance of the showroom.
So they wanted to find out if there were any special items left here.
Yu Xing looked through the glass one by one and found that the items inside were all from an era he could not recognize and probably did not belong to any dynasty or region in reality.
Among them are several fragments of book pages. The handwriting has been blurred and cannot be read at all. The following is introduced in Chinese characters:
[An essay from xxx wizard, recording the stupidity of his descendants’ failure to absorb human souls. I don’t know why he wrote this down. Is it to ridicule future generations? 】
He raised his eyebrows and felt a sense of familiarity.
The contents of the next glass cabinet were similar, except that the footer was stained with a hint of burnt black.
[From the diary of a little girl who survived, after being rescued, she cried and said she saw her sister wandering upstairs, but the adults all looked at her with pity. Strange, no one else saw her sister? 】
In the glass cabinet next to this broken page, there is a broken small stone sculpture.
Yu Xing approached and squinted at the text introduction under the stone carving.
[This is a broken mermaid stone sculpture. A large piece of the tail is missing, and it can no longer be used as a handicraft. When it was thrown aside as garbage, other exquisite stone sculptures were placed on the counter.
Would you be unwilling to sell it?】
Stone sculptures... Yu Xing thought of the sculptures that appeared very frequently in this castle.
Not only that, the first broken page reminded him of the wizard who imprisoned Angel in "The Cage Nightmare", and the second broken page also reminded him of the Crier.
As soon as his association ability was good, he immediately turned around to look for lenses and other exhibits, and sure enough, he found one.
[The broken piece of glass will never return to the beautiful vanity mirror it once was. Master, master, don’t you feel guilty when you look at the person in the mirror? 】
"Sure enough." Yu Xing murmured softly.
Zeng Lai's attention was on the shelf. When he heard his voice, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Xing pointed casually and said: "The things in the glass cabinet should be related to the eight of us tourists. It hints at our past experiences. It is not limited to deductions and reality, and there is no limit to the number."
While looking for lenses, he also saw a familiar empty needle, just like the one that had been pierced into his skin in the research institute.
Zeng Lai ran over and looked at them one by one.
Human skin, cut-throat diary, blood-stained brush, etc., each one seems to have its counterpart.
"It seems true."
Beyond this, sculptural and dreamlike elements also appear prominently.
"We have met the cryer, the zombie researcher, the abyss blood array, the decapitated man, and heard about the good friend and the ghost in the closet. There are still two more to go." Zeng Lai's eyes lit up, "Look.
Of the things in the cabinet, I guess the remaining two are related to sculptures and one is related to dreams, is it reasonable?"
Yu Xing agreed: "It's reasonable."
Han Zhiyong's nickname is Evil Ghost. Qu Nianqing once said that his ability is related to dreams, which happens to match.
But if Zeng Lai said this...it means that his corresponding ghost has already appeared.
"What is your corresponding ghost?"
Zeng Lai didn't expect Yu Xing to ask so directly. Then he thought about it. If he wanted to cooperate in the future, he would have to know sooner or later.
He smiled: "Cryer."
Yu Xing was a little surprised by this answer. Doesn't that mean that Zeng Lai's corresponding ghost was the first ghost that everyone encountered?
At that time, the cryers knocked on the door one by one. After they left, Zeng Lai behaved normally, and he did not look like he had just survived a ghost that he could not resist.
Yu Xing expressed great admiration: "As expected of a boss."
Zeng Lai waved his hand with a proud look on his face: "Nothing, nothing."
After a pause, Zeng Lai asked, "What about you?"
"Researcher of the Resentful Corpse."
Zeng Lai: ...Good guy, your acting skills are also good, but I didn’t see that you had any fear of that big zombie.
After talking to each other, Yu Xing glanced at the things on the shelf.
The shelves covered one wall, but they were not as meaningful as the exhibits in the glass cabinets. He looked at them for a while and found nothing special.
"Here, come and take a look."
On the other side, Zeng Lai pulled something out from the corner.
Yu Xing walked over, and suddenly there was a burning smell in the air.
He lowered his head and saw that Zeng Lai was holding something as black as coke in his hand, and a layer of black ash fell off it when he touched it.
"Burned?" He squatted down and poked it with his finger. He immediately knew why Zeng Lai had to take it out alone.
When we transition from reality to the absurd world, all that is flying in the sky is ashes. And the clouds in the sky are also burning. No matter how you look at it, Alice's hell and fire are inextricably linked.
Zeng Lai was afraid that he was inexperienced, so he turned the thing in his hand and reminded: "This thing has traces of being burned. In the differentiation-level deduction, useless abnormal things rarely appear. Once you find it, you must think carefully about the meaning it represents."
.”
The original appearance of this thing cannot be seen, it was really burned beyond recognition.
Yu Xing glanced at the shelf again and said calmly: "Maybe it's reminding us not to forget the relationship between Burning and Alice Hell. This, coupled with the previous transition prompt, is clearly telling the deducers
Some kind of information."
They got up and searched again. After confirming that there was only one burnt object, Zeng Lai put it in his pocket and walked out of the showroom with the fire certificate.
It's almost time to go to the fifth floor.
Yu Xing had already received the hint that he had successfully occupied the room. Standing by the door of the exhibition hall, he put his hand on the door and looked back.
In fact, this is not the first time he has entered a place like the exhibition hall.
Under the bright lights, Yu Xing vaguely thought that he had arrived at an exhibition hall in reality. He was squeezing forward with the flow of people, walking mechanically, completing the process of getting on the car, sleeping, and not taking pictures when getting off the car. In every block,
He paused in front of the glass for a moment, and then was squeezed forward again.
Occasionally, he would notice the docent talking incessantly, but he could not remember what he said specifically. He only remembered that the exhibits with a sense of the times passed by before his eyes.
I vaguely remember that he was in a bad mood at the time, but he still finished the whole journey and came out with a dark face.
Then someone laughed next to him and said something like...
"How's it going? Did you enjoy watching it?"
…
"Xing, what are you thinking about?" Zeng Lai waved his hand in front of Yu Xing's eyes, waking up Yu Xing who suddenly stopped in place.
Yu Xing took off his mask, rubbed his eyebrows, and replied: "It's nothing."
