Alice's figure of over two meters moved towards Guixin with full pressure. Guixin looked surprised for a moment and hid behind Heng very naturally.
The word "move" is used because there seemed to be pulleys on the soles of Alice's shoes. She kept her standing posture and moved across without bending her legs.
"I am Alice, your best friend, not an object." Alice's voice also had a certain mechanical feel, hollow and stiff, looking down at the couple condescendingly.
Heng looked helpless and protected his girlfriend who got into trouble behind him: "I'm sorry Alice, she didn't mean it."
To be honest, in addition to the oppressive force of height, Alice also gives people a unique kind of fear.
This should be called...the uncanny valley effect.
"I'm sorry, Alice, um, Alice is the prettiest." Guixin didn't feel self-conscious at all and apologized with a playful smile.
"Hum, play well with Alice." Alice blinked her scarlet eyes, panned back to the starting position, patted the hem of her skirt, and a small gem was knocked off her skirt by her metal fingers.
, she didn’t realize it, “Here are the rules of the game.”
At the same time as her voice sounded, the deduction system also gave clearer rules in the minds of the deducers.
[The deceased only knows his own identity, and the winning condition is "not killed by the murderer", and at the end of the game, no more than three of the remaining five people know the identity of the deceased (including the player who died midway). 】
[The murderer, who knows the identities of himself and the detective, can kill the detective. The winning condition is "find the deceased and kill the deceased again". If the murderer kills the detective, he will directly get the deceased's information. At the end of the game, the remaining five people will know the identity of the murderer.
There cannot be more than two people (including players who died during the process).】
[Detective, knows the identity of himself and the deceased, the winning condition is to "find the murderer", and he needs to obtain more than five clues. 】
[The suspect only knows his own identity. The winning condition is to "confirm any two identities of the murderer, the deceased, and the detective", and he needs to obtain more than four clues. 】
Yu Xing rubbed his temples and did not comment on the rules for the time being. Instead, he listened to Alice's voice and memorized every word she said.
"There are twelve amusement projects in my paradise, which are now available to you for free. After completing one project, you will get a random clue pointing to the deceased, the murderer or the detective." The corners of Alice's mouth raised, and she spun around in a circle.
"The game time is four hours, and the minimum number of people available for all rides is two. I hope you and your companions have a good time~"
After saying that, without waiting for others to react, she bowed again, moved backwards, disappeared into the tower, and the door slammed shut.
At the same time, the clock started turning again, ticking, ticking, making a rhythmic sound.
"That is to say, within four hours, people with different identities have to complete their tasks." Wang Jue touched his chin and sighed, "Okay, okay, this time is not the supernatural deduction that I am most afraid of. I think it's okay.
Okay. By the way, among you..."
He deliberately glanced around slowly: "One of them is a murderer."
"What's going on?" Yu Xing scratched his head in confusion, his expression confused, "Well, what happened in reality?"
Wang Jue was the only person present who seemed to have knowledge of the real-life murder, but if Wang Jue was not the murderer, then there must be someone present who had been to the crime scene before, but was pretending not to have been at this time.
There is no way to verify this matter now. In order to reduce my suspicion, I must act as much as possible.
Zhao Yijiu glanced at him but said nothing.
No matter what kind of character Yu Xing used to deceive people in the deduction, Zhao Yijiu was not surprised. Moreover, he was inexplicably expecting others to be deceived - anyway, he knew Yu Xing's true face, so he was not at a loss.
"My name is Wang Jue, absolutely Jue, and I am a student of Ruibo. Isn't it our school anniversary today? I heard that someone died. I didn't squeeze in when I followed the crowd to see it, so I don't know much."
Wang Jue recalled it and then recounted his morning experience.
From the perspective of a complete passerby, Yu Xing heard that there was no big problem. When he saw Wang Jue, Wang Jue was doing a bartending performance, which was consistent with what he said.
"However, I know that I am not the murderer, so some of you must have been at the scene at that time, so why don't you introduce yourself while everyone is here and talk about what you did in the morning?" Wang Jue's suspicious eyes were not concealed at all.
The ground falls on everyone.
"Okay, okay, my boyfriend and I were shopping just now, and suddenly there was a message that a game appeared. Anyway, we were bored, so we came in together." Guixin blew his bangs, "My name is Chen Jiu, and this is
It’s my boyfriend Ling Heng. We got up at about eight o’clock and then went out on the street. What about you?”
"My name is Xie Ze, as you can see..." The man in a suit with the mask of Ze pointed at his elegant dress, "I am in the process of preparing for a business reception, but the preparations for the reception have been going on for nearly a week. Today
It was just the finishing touches in the morning, so I agreed to join the game."
"Do you need to wear such formal clothes for finishing work?" Ling Heng, who had been silent, asked a sharp question with a smile at this time.
Xie Ze explained: "The company is too busy with affairs, and I'm afraid I won't have time to change clothes midway."
"That's it." Ling Heng was noncommittal, and his expression made Xie Ze frown.
"Zhao Yijiu, I was at home when the game invited people." Comrade Zhao Yijiu, a refrigerator, returned to the state where he rarely talks much. After speaking, he pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to speak anymore.
"I'll prove it! My name is Yu Xing, and I was at his house at the time." Yu Xing shamelessly pulled Zhao Yijiu into perjury. He also added seriously, "I just joined the company as an intern, and I don't have the work report."
Yes, let senior teach me, we happen to live close to each other, and today is the afternoon shift, so I went to senior’s house in the morning."
Zhao Yijiu: "..."
As expected of a drama queen, the background story is so easy to pick up without having to think about it.
But what was this guy doing this morning to tell such a lie and use me as a shield?
Realizing this, Zhao Yijiu said coldly: "You are too stupid to teach me, so you should resign as soon as possible."
Yu Xing was shocked, and his narrow phoenix eyes widened: "Ah~ Senior, you can't bully the interns just because you are good at computers! You see, we didn't know that each other was a deduction before, so if you are mean, I won't care.
Yes, now that we know it, we can be considered colleagues in another sense from now on. Can you be more enthusiastic?"
"cannot."
Seeing that Yu Xing looked a little aggrieved, Chen Jiu laughed out loud: "You guys are so interesting. What company has such good-looking employees? I want to go too."
Zhao Yijiu glanced at her.
This girl looks silly and sweet, as cheerful as a fool, but her questions are as sharp as her boyfriend's.
He spoke concisely and to the point: "Yufeng Media."
Yufeng Media is a well-known company in Mijin City. Due to the nature of the work, it does have certain requirements for the appearance of its employees.
At this time, Chen Jiu shrugged: "Wow, your company's recruitment requirements are very high. I'm a waste. I don't deserve to be in."
After the words fell, no one started talking again.
Because the six people briefly talked about their movements and none of them stayed in Ruibo except Wang Jue, there were only two possibilities.
The first type is that someone is lying. Except for Xie Ze, the remaining four people can provide evidence in pairs. That is to say, if someone lies, most of them may have colluded with each other. This is more difficult to handle than if one person lies.
The second is that Ruibo's case did not happen in the morning, but happened earlier. It was just at the beginning of the school anniversary today that someone happened to push open the door of the sports equipment room and discovered the deceased. In this case, even if everyone is not lying
, and no one can remove the suspicion.
After another moment of silence, Zhao Yijiu turned to Yu Xing and said, "It's a waste of time, let's go."
The game lasts four hours. In addition to getting different numbers of clues, people with different identities also have to consider how to complete the reasoning task.
The murderer, the deceased, and the detective all have to consider how to kill without being noticed, and how to protect themselves.
Time is still quite tight.
Since Zhao Yijiu showed that he didn't want everyone to act together, Yu Xing good-naturedly made an apologetic gesture to the others and left with him.
The remaining four people thought about it and realized that there was really no need to go with strangers from the beginning. They didn’t know what kind of dangers there were in the amusement facilities. What if they tripped and were in danger?
You can only go with people you trust first, get some clues, and then gradually narrow down the target range and contact others.
The young couple, one with a playful smile and the other with a calm and casual expression, left the two male singles behind and walked towards the Ferris wheel.
…
Yu Xing checked the direction and followed Zhao Yijiu past the children's playground and haunted house, heading towards the jumping machine.
"Is it so exciting to play right from the start?" Yu Xing sighed as he put his pocket in his pocket as he watched Zhao Yijiu walk towards the ticket office without hesitation.
"Are you afraid of heights?"
"no."
"That's good." Zhao Yijiu walked to the sign at the unmanned ticket office, "I have a hunch that projects that are exposed to a certain degree of danger in the field of vision will be better than facilities such as the Haunted Objective Lens House Carousel."
He looked at the instructions on the sign.
[This project can be opened with a minimum of two people and a maximum of four people. Visitors with a weak heart are asked to voluntarily switch to other projects to experience.]
"Where's the heart?"
It took Yu Xing a second to react before he realized that Zhao Yijiu was asking how his heart was, not asking for his heart. He glanced at the sign and immediately understood: "The heart is very good."
They pushed aside the white rear metal fence and looked towards the main body of the jumping machine.
The jumping machine should be higher than the central tower of Alice Square, and it is the second-highest facility after roller coasters and Ferris wheels.
The surface of the cylinder is full of pits and pits, creating the feeling of a primitive giant tree. The twisted and coiled branches are inlaid with countless eyes of different sizes. The eyeballs rotate flexibly in the whites of the eyes. Patients with trypophobia should die suddenly on the spot.
The outer seats are also in the style of tree branches, and the seat belts are long and bouncy to the touch. Yu Xing thinks they should be chewy.
Licking his lips, he calmly sat down next to Zhao Yijiu.
"By the way, where were you this morning?"
After sitting in his seat and fastening his seat belt, Zhao Yijiu suddenly remembered and asked.
Yu Xing checked the U-shaped handrail used to secure tourists and said of course: "Ruibo University."
