The team was lucky. The rain stopped after almost an hour, and the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a bright white sky.
They are ready to go.
During this period of time, Yu Xing received a clear understanding of the information about the tomb. Some of his doubts were resolved, and new questions were added.
That was the sense of disobedience that he could feel at any time. Now he was basically sure that he must have forgotten something. After he entered the mountain, where could he experience something and then forget about it?
The only time left is to lie in the coffin.
Although Carlos said he only went in for three minutes, supernatural powers that blur the flow of time are not uncommon, and Yu Xing has encountered them many times since he became a deducer.
Yu Xing kept an eye on him, allowing him to change his memory without noticing. This power must be very strong, and nothing happened to him now, and he didn't feel malicious, indicating that this should be some kind of "plot need"
.
A deduction game is a game after all. No matter how free the NPCs are in the investigator-type deduction, they are still people in the game - their identity can be replaced by the deduction player at will. Even if the world operates independently, Yu Xing does not think it is real.
Speaking of which, Yu Xing has met other people in the real world before, such as Ning Feng. He has not yet contacted the anomaly research team in the Persona template, so he doesn't know what system Ning Feng belongs to.
.
But since he formed his own group to participate in the deduction, Yu Xing tentatively believed that the other party's world was a place of the same level as his own world, and could be called "real".
In short - in this deduction world, everything seems to be heading towards the future randomly, but Yu Xing feels that this is just because the established route is too huge, so there is no sense of compulsion.
He should have some memory loss now. This is part of the "plot" and he doesn't need to worry too much.
As the team was about to set off, Yu Xing stopped Carlos and asked, "Where are the paintings hidden?"
When Carlos heard that Yu Xing was still thinking about the painting, he pointed helplessly behind the tablet: "I'm afraid it might get wrinkled, so I rolled it up and stuffed it into a wooden box for you. How about it? Is the treatment good enough?"
"Very good." Yu Xing nodded with satisfaction and happily packed up his painting tube.
In this case, future generations who came to admire the name of Yao Dao can find a painting belonging to the horror painter San here, just like the world found a smartphone in Sanxingdui that can also display contacts. The number on it
It will definitely become famous.
Even if it is not disclosed to the public, someone will secretly notice him, which will affect his character's experience... Yu Xing has discovered a prediction technique of investigator type deduction. As long as he leaves clues himself, then next time he will do it again
Come in, the content of the deduction will most likely be related to the clues left behind, and it will play a more or less prophetic role.
Familiar characters and environments can greatly increase the survival rate.
Yu Xing threw away some unused things, replaced them with the items assigned by the new team, and then walked out of the ancestral hall with the team members and headed back.
If you want to go back to Living Tail Lake, you have to pass by the bird corpse forest and the corpse pit that even Yu Xing can't stand.
The journey was safe. Fortunately, Yu, Carlos and Lin were all secretly paying attention to whether the thing that had sneaked in had appeared. Lin was holding a wooden compass in his hand and walking in the middle of the team, mumbling something.
But no one can understand or hear clearly.
When they walked near the bird corpse forest, the wind brought the smell of decay. Yu Xing began to feel disgusted and slowed down, as if there was a cesspool in front of him.
"What's your expression?" Carlos was amused. He put on black leather gloves on his hands and put them in his jacket pockets. He nudged Yu Xing teasingly with his elbow, "Mysophobia? Or..."
"Don't you think it smells bad?" The dislike in Yu Xing's tone was almost overflowing. There were many people listening nearby. He held on to the strap of his backpack with a troubled expression, "Maybe a big guy like you has already developed this habit.
I have the ability to not care about the environment. I am different. I have been spoiled since I was a child and I cannot get used to this."
San is indeed a pampered child, born into a rich family with a golden key.
Ash came closer: "San, is your family rich?"
"It's just average. It's just that the brothers are so rich that they don't like each other. They always want to make each other stumbling. They also want the old man to return to the west as soon as possible to fight for the family property." Yu Xing put on the newly acquired mask as he spoke.
Cuts out most of the smell.
"Wow!" Ash's eyes lit up, "You know, I'm not good at Chinese. If I understand correctly, you should be richer than the nobles in my hometown!"
"It's a big country with many rich people." Yunika was very proud, almost as if she was a native of the country. "Ash, if you are interested in the history of your country, maybe you can come to me and I can help you."
Get to know it. Trust me, when you get to know it, you will fall in love with it.”
Yu Xing glanced at her calmly, and it sounded to him that the NPC was starting to give out prompts.
If you want to know about the history of the Demonic Period, you can contact the historian Yunika.
Ash thanked Yunika, and then continued to look at Yu Xing with admiration: "You are so rich, why do you do such a dangerous business?"
Everyone except Carlos pricked up their ears, that's what they wanted to know.
Yu Xing immediately realized that Ash seemed to be just chatting, but in fact he was trying to obtain his identity information. He could also judge how much he could be trusted based on his motivations.
He shook his head politely, and then sighed deeply: "The money belongs to my family, not mine. I am just one of many children. There is little hope of inheriting even one tenth of the family property, because the family
In the end, one pillar will be chosen to inherit most of the property. As for the others, it will be good if they are not killed or expelled."
"I came to rob the tomb because the captain of another team invited me to join him. I'm not very interested in money, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make some achievements and let the elders see me, so I agreed."
This reason is easy to make up, and it is reasonable and reasonable. It is not easy to verify.
"You are so good at painting and so famous, but your elders are not satisfied?" Lin had already put away the compass and inserted a sentence. Because he usually spoke bluntly, now it sounded like a question.
But in fact, he didn't mean that. When Yu Xing looked at him, Lin shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no ghost following him now.
He asked this kind of question purely because he saw Yu Xing's painting ability last night and was puzzled that such a strong painter was not recognized by his family.
"Painting is not worth mentioning in their eyes. After all, I am just a popular painter in a niche circle, and I am far from being a well-known painter in the world. The value that a painting can create is very limited.
There is far less money than my brothers can make from doing business." Yu Xing felt extremely aggrieved. When it came to family matters, his knuckles turned white, as if he had been bullied and was holding back.
"They didn't like Hua Hua, so I thought about whether I could take advantage of this opportunity to join the tomb robbing circle. Being able to snatch treasures from corpses and ghosts is considered an ability. If I could often bring in treasures for my family's antique business,
If the supply is sufficient, the elders will believe in my ability and courage."
Yu Xing took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Forget it...it's useless to talk about it now. I won't be able to change these squeamish habits for a while, but I will slowly overcome them. I will wear this in the Bird Corpse Forest
A mask is enough, let’s go.”
Carlos' forehead twitched, feeling contempt for this guy who first showed off his wealth and then showed weakness.
Yu Xing revealed his family affairs. In the end, not only did the team members not feel the burden of being a rich kid, but they also praised him for his enlightenment. He really guides people's hearts!
Mr. Magician really hopes that San will give up his paintbrush and learn the simplest card magic with him.
Maybe it will be popular.
Yu Xing didn't know what Carlos was complaining about him in his mind. In fact, a large part of what he just said was nonsense. He made it up based on the background when he created the character.
He didn't even know what painter San's family did, and they were definitely not as rich as Ash said.
But the danger in his home is definitely greater than that in the Demon Tomb Palace. The dangers of the two are in different directions. The tomb is large enough to swallow up all the living people who come here but are not careful enough, and he is just one of them.
In the deduction of Tomb Palace, if you have strong teammates to lead you, you can survive without being too strong.
But the weirdness in San's family must be small-scale and targeted at this family. It is highly targeted and no one can escape. For the deducer, the latter is even more terrifying - the investigation studio he has never met before
The boss also said that if he made a big contribution this time, he would help him take care of things at home.
It shows that his boss thinks he can survive in the tomb, but doesn't think he can handle the situation at home. This is also evidence of the terror in San's family.
As the group chatted, the rotten smell in the air became stronger and stronger. By the time the bird carcasses hanging on the high trees could be seen with the naked eye, several people had already put on masks.
The recent rain not only failed to wash away the rotten odor nearby, but actually made it worse.
Yu Xing suddenly felt a little strange. When he came, he only smelled a bit of fishy smell after entering the forest. Why did he smell it so far away when he left?
Even if it was due to the direction of the wind, it wouldn't be so outrageous. Something had quietly changed.
All these fragmentary anomalies were accumulated in his mind, the team continued to move forward, and Shijiu suddenly stopped.
Shijiu urgently asked everyone not to move, and squinted his eyes to look at the entrance of the corpse forest.
"what is that?"
Ash subconsciously answered: "What is what...Oh, God."
Everyone's eyesight was good. After getting the prompt, they took a closer look and took a deep breath.
I didn't notice it when I was far away just now, but now that I'm walking in, I see a corpse much larger than a bird corpse hanging on a tree near the entrance of the corpse forest.
The corpse's feet were bare, its limbs were hanging limply, and it was all dressed in a white shroud. Its hair was disheveled, covering its face, and swayed with the wind, as if it were ringing a bell.
They were human corpses. Both men and women had hair that reached their chests and abdomen.
Human corpses were hung in a dense row, floating in the wind, as if they were on display, and an ominous premonition enveloped everyone's minds.
"Fuck, this beast is not satisfied with hanging bird carcasses, so he hangs people instead!" Mr. Li likes to speak harshly. Judging from his first reaction, he has actually seen a rickety man who likes to hang bird carcasses.
But then everyone, including Mr. Li, was startled.
Carlos slowly turned his head and asked Yu Xing: "Were these corpses there when you came here before?"
Yu Xing was very sure that there were only bird corpses here before, not human corpses, because he wandered around the forest for a long time in search of a place for rickets to live.
His exposed eyes were full of confusion and shock. He said nervously: "No, no, this is the body that only appeared after I left."
But the problem is!
Shijiu pulled out his sword and looked around cautiously.
The problem is - the rickety man who hung the body is already dead.
It was bitten in half by a fish monster and thrown into an underground river. It was impossible for the rickets to be resurrected so quickly, because the reason for its resurrection was the black coffin, and they stayed in the ancestral hall all night, and nothing came out of the black coffin!
What is...
Besides rickets, are there other intelligent humanoids hidden in this forest?
Carlos asked: "Who are those corpses? Another team?"
No one answered him because no one was sure.
Lin immediately thought, could this be done by that ghost among them? He immediately took out the compass again and recited the Feng Shui formula passed down from his family.
The situation in his eyes began to change. Others knew that he was looking for a reason and did not dare to disturb him. They all took out weapons to be on guard. Only Will hesitated and took out a folding metal plate.
Will unfolded the metal plate, and it turned out to be a very delicate Ouija board, with white characters on a black background, and gold-gilded patterns on it, emblazoned with mystery and nobility. There were twenty-six letters and numbers 0-9, and some other characters besides the psychic.
Symbols used to communicate with the dead that are also incomprehensible.
He took out the supporting tools, spread a disposable mat on a piece of barely dry land, and sat down cross-legged, with the Ouija board placed on his knees.
Will began to divine.
He chose the Ouija board as a divination tool, which means that he intends to communicate with the souls here. It just so happens that there are many corpses here, and the Ouija board is a very useful and direct way.
Lin and Will both started to get serious. Carlos touched his chin, turned to Yu Xing and said quietly: "Look, are there any people from your previous team among those corpses? If you can't see the face, just look at the figure."
"It seems... not." Yu Xing could see more clearly that all the people in Brother Sun's team were tall and tall, but the human corpses hanging on the tree now were either fat or thin, but none of them were strong.
This is indeed not like the work of a rickets person. A rickets person would not put someone into a shroud before hanging them up.
Suddenly, Yu Xing tilted his head and laughed in a suppressed voice: "I suddenly remembered the rookie competition before. Count the number of corpses. Do you feel anything familiar?"
Carlos recalled it for a moment, then frowned and clicked his tongue.
