After confirming their identities, the two of them exchanged the collected information. However, due to precious time, Yu Xing only briefly mentioned the fragment of pages found in the pillow, and agreed to finish searching the fifth floor and return to the room for further analysis.
Zeng Lai searched two rooms, but didn't find much. He murmured, "Why do I feel a little weird?" while giving Yu Xing a look at the small blackened sculpture.
This is a wood carving. It is different from the stone statues that can be seen everywhere in the castle. Its painting style is more lively. It is a girl in a pleated skirt. The girl is carrying a package and the hat on her head has a wide brim, as if she is walking.
The burns had destroyed her appearance, and her clothes were full of holes, revealing the lines inside the wood.
It was hard for Zeng Lai to kick this palm-sized thing into his pocket. After putting it back, the pocket of his clothes was bulging.
After going back to sort out the information, they each went into a room. They didn't gain much, and they walked out again in less than ten minutes.
There are seven rooms in this corridor, and the last one is at the end.
Opening the door, Yu Xing asked Zeng Lai to go in first, get the room quota, and then followed him and looked around.
This is the largest bedroom compared to the previous ordinary room, and the layout is more exquisite. It is about 1.5 times the size of other rooms.
But at the same time, it is also the room with the heaviest burn marks. The walls are so dark that even when the lights are turned on and the light shines on them, there is still a sense of darkness.
Zeng Lai said: "Let's look for it together."
After the words fell, he remembered something and reminded: "Don't tell Qu Xianqing that I asked that question when you go out -"
Yu Xing was amused that he finally remembered this sentence after taking so long, and nodded in agreement.
Judging from the fear that most deducers have towards Qu Nianqing, Zeng Lai is indeed the type who often seeks death, and he actually came up with such a question immediately.
Yu Xing felt that this question was impossible to answer.
Aren't things like that changed every day? Who knows what color they are now.
There was an interruption, and the two began to search all over the place.
Yu Xing started to check again, and threw the ones that couldn't be used into the corner.
Zeng Lai looked at it for a while and found that this was indeed a more detailed search, so he simply let himself go, no matter who had lived here, and joined the demolition process.
Unlike Yu Xing, who still has an underlying elegance despite his violent actions, he is even more dynamic? Are you saying that Yu Xing is an assassin? He is a berserker, and he has inherited Erha's spirit to the fullest.
After Yu Xing checked the cabinet and looked back, he immediately felt a sense of recognition for Ren Yi, whom he had never met before... Zeng Lai did look like a silly dog on the outside. No wonder Ren Yi said he was not calm.
After flexing his fingers, Yu Xing withdrew his attention, straightened up and looked around.
There are no keys for the first six rooms, so the key can only be stored in this big bedroom? He doesn't think the key is hidden behind some compartment? In this case, if the deducer comes to find it when being hunted,
With the key, isn’t there no chance at all?
The absurd world must give them a chance to "survive from desperate situations" and "extremely counterattack"~
The reason for the house-breaking search was actually to look for "collection elements" with scorch marks? But now? I have rummaged through everything, and there is no need to waste time.
His eyes finally fell on the painting hanging on the wall.
Several oil paintings could not escape the rendering of the general environment. The frame of one of them was broken, and the cracks in the glass were like spider webs. Can they be dropped? The rest also looked very old. The frame had not been wiped for a long time?
A layer of blackness that cannot be wiped off.
He reached out and took off the picture frames one by one. When he got to the broken picture frame, he felt something shaking inside.
Yu Xing shook it vigorously, and not long after, a rusty silver key fell out and hit the pen holder that Zeng Lai had thrown to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Zeng Lai's ears twitched and he immediately looked towards him: "Found it?"
"It seems so." Yu Xing picked up the key and squinted at it. The size of the key was about the same as the keyhole on the small wooden box, so it should fit properly.
"Great, all the hard work was not in vain." Zeng Lai took a deep breath and whispered in a voice that normally could not be heard by others, "I thought my vote was effective from the beginning."
Coincidentally, Yu Xing's hearing was not within the normal range. He immediately caught the key points and recalled the sacrificial dice thrown by Zeng Lai he saw in the bathroom, as well as the upward bloody "one".
Hearing Zeng Lai's tone, a guess occurred in his mind, and he immediately glanced over: "?"
"Does your dice control luck?"
Zeng Lai: "..."
"It was discovered. Yes, that is my main sacrifice. It helps me make decisions and can sometimes save lives."
Yu Xing: "Sometimes it can be fatal."
Zeng Lai: "...Yes."
He didn't mean to hide it, he just wanted to take the opportunity to test whether Yu Xing had used points to strengthen the five senses. He thought he had tested it out, and sighed in his heart - this guy has a lot of points, and it strengthens the speed, strengthens the five senses, and also
There are several sacrifices, and the potential is really powerful...
Then, he briefly explained his dice abilities.
This is the information disclosed by the star gambler to other deductions. [Destiny Bet] is a sacrifice in the form of a dice. The first ability is to predict the accuracy of a decision. It can only be used once in a deduction. One point represents completeness.
Wrong, six points means very correct, and the degree of two to four points is deepened. Ability two is a game of fate, throw a number, one represents bad luck, six represents good luck, and the degree of two to four points is deepened to change luck.
This was a sacrifice that Zeng Lai received a long time ago, and his title as a gambler was even confirmed by the system after he obtained this [Fate Bet].
"Every time the luck of the second roll of ability does not take effect immediately, I don't know when it will come. When it comes, I am not sure whether it will cover me alone or implicate others." Zeng Lai said with a confused look on his face, "Toss
After I got out, I could sense the result and throw a little bit...I was also drunk."
Yu Xing: Then you are quite a non-chief.
Zeng Lai curled his lips and felt a little uncomfortable: "To be honest, I looked at the previous rooms and I couldn't find any clues after searching for a long time. In addition, I can't find the key now. I thought bad luck was starting to happen, so I hid the key in
It’s a hard place to find, but fortunately, it seems like it hasn’t started yet.”
He thought to himself that this was really lucky.
…
After achieving their goal, the two planned to leave from this corridor and go back to the lobby on the first floor to check the time. At this time, Yu Xing took a look at the messy room, suddenly his expression changed, and he walked towards the bed.
In every room he had searched before, he had lifted the bed board once. The bedside of this large bedroom had not been touched yet, and he always felt that something was missing.
Yu Xing didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, he just realized that the design of the bottom of the bed connected to the ground was a bit strange, because the beds in the bedroom they lived in were all elevated and could be seen under the bed.
The layout of the rooms on the fifth floor was obviously not as exquisite as that on the third floor, but the beds looked a little more expensive than those on the third floor. Regarding this, Yu Xing had a vague intuition - there must be a reason for this.
At that moment, with Zeng Lai's slightly speechless expression, he bent down, pulled out the sheets and mattress, and lifted the bed board with all his strength.
"As for you, are you addicted to demolishing houses?" The gambler laughed, and his expression froze in the next second. Well, the slap in the face came so quickly.
Yu Xing also paused, because this time, there was no longer a dirty floor under the bed, but a deep hole.
"Bang!" He pushed the bed board aside and looked inside with a hint of understanding and a hint of surprise.
It was pitch black and bottomless.
The hole is slightly smaller than the bed, and is also rectangular. One side is inlaid with iron pedals, which extend to form a simple staircase.
Zeng Lai came over dumbfounded: "Awesome. Where should I have gotten the clues from and pointed them to the bottom, but you, a master of house demolition, discovered it in advance?"
Yu Xing accepted the compliment calmly. He was very confident in his intuition.
As a result, just when he was about to ask Zeng Lai to put the fire folding piece in to shine a light, Zeng Lai accidentally stepped on a spherical handicraft that rolled over on the ground at an unknown time. His feet slipped and he fell forward.
"Fuck!"
Zeng Lai's calf hit the bed wall and lost his balance. He was about to fall into the hole. He subconsciously stretched his hand to Yu Xing: "Pull me -"
Yu Xing didn't expect such a thing, so he quickly gave his hand to him. However, the hand Zeng Lai extended was still holding a fire folding piece. Yu Xing suddenly grasped it, but felt something was forced into his hand.
It's Huozhezi.
Zeng Lai: "..."
Yu Xing: "..."
Zeng Lai wanted to hold Yu Xing back to his balance, but when he lost control, he put the fire seal into Yu Xing's hand. He choked on his breath, and then he screamed and fell down.
Yu Xing lay at the entrance of the cave with a complicated expression on his face, watching Zeng Lai's figure quickly disappear into the darkness, listening to the screams becoming more and more distant, not knowing how to evaluate it.
The hole was deeper than expected. When Zeng Lai fell, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. However, this was good news as it would not break him into pieces.
When the screams were no longer heard, the dagger on Yu Xing's belt moved, and Yi Qing's voice came out: "This person is really very optimistic, and he actually thinks that the bad luck has not yet taken effect."
"...It means that his one thing has started to take effect?" Yu Xing sighed, "Forget it, let's go down and find him."
After all, Zeng Lai didn't go down the stairs. If he was injured, he could still help.
Yiqing transformed into a human form and floated in the air, surrounded by green mist: "Try it."
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and tried to step on the Yanbian stairs, but felt a resistance.
[The darkness here is breathtaking, even with lighting tools, it makes people timid. You find that there seems to be a barrier at the entrance of the cave, allowing only one person to enter. 】
[There is more than one entrance to your destination, find another entrance.]
"...It is indeed the most unlucky situation." Yu Xing glanced down with pity, "Then I can only find another way. I really don't know whether his bad luck covered me or implicated him.
to others.”
Yiqing smiled elegantly: "Believe me, this is this person's unique bad luck, and he probably won't get better now. Yu Xing, if you want to help him, find a way to 'go down'."
