Chapter 39: Strange people and strange dolls

Just now, when he was half-kneeling and lighting incense, he happened to find the doll in the gravel in the right corner.
The doll is a little boy in a black suit, very small, the size of a palm, and it doesn't look like something that will appear in the tomb.
Carlos was stunned and thought to himself that he was really blind? Although the corridor of the tomb palace was dim, he was not so obvious that even a baby could not be seen.
"Where did you find it?" Carlos didn't believe in evil.
"Well." Yu Xing turned his head, "under the gravel stone, it was buried quite tightly."
"..." Carlos looked at it with a slight eye. "Dear Mr. San, let alone if I failed to find out from the pile of stones, I just said to you - can you tell me how you took out the doll while lighting the incense?"
It is not like this to use one mind and two things. This is not keenness, but to see through eyes.
Yu Xing was strangely silent: "Just treat it as... one of its hands is exposed."
"Just pretend?" Carlos was tired. This man was not even happy to lie, so he just perfunctorily treated him.
"This is not the point." Yu Xing stuffed the doll directly into Carlos' arms. "Look at it carefully. I'm not a little girl who likes dolls. I can do nothing and take the doll that others throw away."
Carlos looked down at the doll in his arms, facing the eyes of the little doll in black suit.
He actually saw a humanized hope in the doll's cold eyes.
This is not only something left by modern people, that is, Oster people, but also by...the deducers!
After he realized this, a strange hint emerged.
[Hope's doll: This is a doll that I don't know what it is for. Maybe it's a prop, but you can't use it.]
Carlos has never received a prompt like this.
"Maybe it's a prop, but we can't use it?" Carlos repeated and asked Yu Xing, "What you see is the same?"
When he asked, the communication equipment turned off the sound, and people outside could only see increasingly unclear pictures and heard silence.
"That's right." After Yu Xing picked up the doll, it seemed like there was a delay. It took more than a minute to get a prompt.
Moreover, this prompt is obviously not sent in the tone of a confirmed prop, but more like the system itself.
Yu Xing is still very familiar with the lack of flatness of the system.
What's strange is that what's special about this doll that can delay the system for so long, and only a specious conclusion has been drawn?
Yu Xing didn't say anything to Carlos.
The reason why he was able to find a buried doll from the pile of gravels was not sharp eyes or perspective - he didn't have the ability.
Instead, as soon as he approached, he felt a sense of insanity, and the doll's presence was particularly strong, and he couldn't even ignore it.
The moment he picked up the doll, a blurred figure of a man appeared in Yu Xing's mind. The background was also in the corridor. The man squatted beside the doll, wearing an ankle-long windbreaker, and a pair of silver-wire round glasses on his face.
On the man's shoulder, it seemed like a small black cat was lying on it.
Yu Xing couldn't see the specific appearance and expression, but he could clearly feel that the phantom was the owner of the doll in his hand. But for some reason, the man left and left the doll here.
That person should also be a deducer.
Strange people, strange dolls.
Strange system.
Yu Xing guessed that the person should have something to do with him, otherwise all this would not make sense. So after a sudden change, Yu Xing put the black suit doll in his pocket and took it away.
After receiving the system prompt, he lowered his eyelids slightly and his heart moved.
The only thing that can produce this inexplicable correlation with him may be the similarity of the source of power.
His own power comes from the actress' laboratory, so the man wearing a long windbreaker...
That person must also be in the tomb palace, probably from Oster Company. If you see him later, you might be clear.
Carlos was still studying the doll. He looked over and over for a while and finally came to a conclusion: "It might be a forced binding prop, so we can't use it when its owner is still alive."
After all, he was promoted to the alienation line for a long time. During this period, he experienced many investigator deductions. He was familiar with this type of deduction and lacked other knowledge.
Because he did not join the guild or team, no one took him.
Yu Xing was calculating in his heart, and did not make any more guesses, and only replied: "Take it with you, you will know when you meet its owner."
...
Now, the guardian has been separated from Yu Xing and Carlos for a while. It is probably not easy to find them. It is very likely that they will encounter other team members after going around.
Yu Xing knew that the others should have found several safer places now, waiting for Carlos' paper men to come and guard against dangers everywhere.
They walked for a few more minutes and stopped in a spacious cabin.
There are many such small rooms on both sides of the corridor, with some large bottles and jars placed on the base of the wall. I don’t know what it contains, but Yu Xing is not very interested anyway.
The room was full of spider webs, and there was no night pearl lighting inside, which was even dim than the corridor. The two sat down facing the door, and Carlos began to break the villain.
In fact, communication equipment can also help them gather together. Shijiu can see where all the people wearing cameras are located by one person.
However, the corridor is winding and the scenery is almost the same. Even Shijiu cannot remember the specific location of everyone, so she can only give suggestions in Mili.
"How far can you, a paper man?" Yu Xing asked Youyou as he watched Carlos use magic to turn a piece of paper, then skillfully fold the paper into a paper man.
Carlos is so happy now that Yu Xing gave him the ghost seal, which shows that this guy with unpredictable strength has expressed his intention to trust him - at least in this deduction.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! So he was in a good mood and asked questions and answers: "You can go far, but the farther you are from me, the more stupid you are, and the slower you are. Inside this tomb, you should be able to walk from beginning to end."
While speaking, Carlos had already folded one. He used the marker he carried with him to draw his facial features perfunctorily and put the paper man out. The paper man staggered a few steps before becoming proficient. He looked back at them and quietly left the room.
"This one goes to find Unika and Ash. Uncle Zhang asks Ash to protect Unika in close proximity, so the two of them should be together."
According to the tips from Poetry and Wine in Mili, paper people will have a purposeful way.
Carlos repeated the steps just now, and within a dozen seconds: "Go to find Mr. Li."
"This is going to find Uncle Zhang."
“…”
In just two minutes, Carlos put out five small paper men.
Yu Xing looked at it and felt something was wrong.
His brows frowned slightly, and he always felt that something had been ignored. A few seconds later, the inspiration suddenly burst into his mind.
"Wait a minute." He grabbed Carlos, who was ready to rest for a while, "How many paper men did you just become?"
"Five." The paper man consumed Carlos's spirit and needed a rest every time he made it. He sat depressedly, "Didn't you see it?"
"So, it's not right." Yu Xing's cold tone made Carlos cheer up. He didn't ask what was wrong, but thought about it himself.
Unika and Ash are the same, Mr. Li, Uncle Zhang, Lin, and man with glasses.
Five, that's right.
"I'll ask again." Yu Xing looked strange, "How many people were in your team before I joined?"
"Eleven." Carlos found that Yu Xing was beginning to get confused with the numbers, and he raised his eyebrows, "Why, you found another one? Wait - Damn? There is really one more person!"
Yu Xing stared at him, as if saying, you finally realized it.
Five paper men went out to find six people, plus the two of them, and there were a total of eight people who came down to the tomb.
There were three people from the tomb robbers who had not come down from the ground, including Shijiu, Will, and three people from the tomb robber family, totaling five.
Added up and down...that are thirteen people.
Why is there one more person?
And this time, everyone has names and surnames.
"No, I remember very clearly that our grave was set up for eleven people since the preparations." Carlos' tone became serious, "When will there be more people..."
This discovery is even more creepy than when it was in the ancestral hall.
Because, under the premise that everyone has intersections, it is already certain...their memories are passive again.
A ghost had already crept into them and was unable to tell them.
In other words, except for the two of their deducers who have systematically made proofs, Uncle Zhang and Mr. Li may be fake, Lin, Will, Shijiu, Ash, and Unika may be fake.
Carlos felt a chill when he remembered the direction that Poetry and wine had just pointed to him.
If poetry and wine are ghosts, wouldn’t it be a great opportunity for ghosts to make trouble just now?
"Don't worry, analyze it." Yu Xing pressed Carlos's shoulder. He knew that Carlos had a good mentality and did not need him to stabilize his mind, so it would be better to start finding out the problem directly.
Carlos first said: "It is unlikely that Master Li. Without Master Li, there will be no leader among the people who came to the tomb robber family this time. They will not give such a configuration."
"Uncle Zhang is not possible. He is responsible for cooking. There is no one except him. You originally planned to have no people who cook." Yu Xing said, "Lin and Will have a certain overlap in their abilities. They can both calculate the location of the tomb, and one of them can be fake. But Lin's arrival was before Will, and he was already doing this work before Will came. So Lin must be real among these two people."
Carlos unconsciously touched the ground beneath him, and touched the coldness and hardness that were very consistent with the environment.
He sighed inwardly, the tomb palace was really real and real, and it was difficult to distinguish. The maze made the small place feel so curved and huge. It was hard to imagine whether the truth and false they thought were correct.
He said: "Eunika is one of the first people to join the team in our memory, but she is not indispensable. Without her, Mr. Li guessed that this was the Demonic Tomb Palace and would definitely organize later explorations. Unika cannot get rid of the suspicion."
"Well, among Shijiu and Ashe, Shijiu is the only person you sent to Brother Sun's team as an undercover agent. Her existence cannot be replaced. In fact, you can rest assured about her." When Yu Xing said this, Carlos immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After careful calculation, everyone except Mr. Li, Uncle Zhang, Lin and Shijiu, as well as their two deducers, has reasons to be fabricated.
"You said... are human emotions really shaped by memory?" Carlos was still resting and found that this incident made his thoughts diverge. "If the memory is different, is a person still the same as him?"
The ghosts easily change their memories and add a "friend" and a "teammate" who survived. They thought that things should be like this, but they didn't know that the so-called friendship or acquaintance for several months might just be implanted into their minds in an instant.
Yu Xing sneered: "Are you going to think about philosophical issues at this time? Are you going to be an underground philosopher and think about the meaning of life and death all day long?"
Carlos's thoughts were broken: "..."
He wanted to give a thumbs up - you are the one who is the best at destroying the atmosphere.
If you can’t think about philosophy, then think about the important things.
His mental power spread out, wanting to see where the paper man was. As soon as he changed to a perspective, he saw the flashlight turned on and shining the forest of the paper man.
Lin was determined to be without problems. Carlos was happy and manipulated the villain to run over. While guiding Lin Yuan to return, he told Lin about the matter.
After Lin heard this, he was not surprised at all. He said lightly: "The last time you asked San to tell me, I noticed that in the ancestral hall, we were thirteen people, but when you counted the number, it seemed like you had deliberately forgotten one person. At that time, I was not sure about the authenticity of you and San, so I measured the slightest thing and didn't tell you. I... just told Mr. Li about this."
Carlos smiled unexpectedly. Lin was much smarter than he thought, and Mr. Li was also good at acting. At least for a while, he had no idea what difference between Mr. Li and his usual life was. Mr. Li was too good at hiding things.
Perhaps this is the calmness of the senior tomb robber.
"Then why do you trust me now?" Carlos's voice came from the little paper man, echoing in the empty corridor, and the strange facial features drawn with markers were a bit creepy.
Lin turned his head and didn't want to see this paper man, but as soon as the paper man left his sight, he was like a spider - what was more terrifying than a spider was the suddenly disappearing spider.
He had to endure the discomfort in his heart: "Both time, you reminded me first. If you are a ghost, there is no need for this. In addition, I figured it out. Your paper man made a great contribution to exploring the ancestral hall a few times before, so you can't appear after entering Chongyin Mountain."
Lin’s way of distinguishing between true and false is the same as Yu Xing and Carlos, which is the most effective and simple way.
Yu Xing sat next to Carlos, watching Carlos close his eyes and fall into sleepy silence.
He looked at the corridor inlaid with night pearls outside, and suddenly there seemed to be some sound in his ears that seemed to be far away.
