In the empty street, the gradually cooling wind blew on Yu Xing's face, mixed with Yu Xing's slightly sinister tone, which made Yu Xing unconsciously get goosebumps again.
He looked at Yu Wan seriously twice, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.
Although it was a bit unexpected, Yu Ming was really reminding him about Ye Ming's anomaly.
In addition, in the car, when she interrupted him on the pretext of running out of napkins, it was also because he wanted to turn his head under Ye Ming's gaze. At that time, Yu Ming used her eyes to remind him of his actions.
But...it doesn't rule out that Yu Wan realized that he had discovered Ye Ming's flaw, so he took a preemptive strike and interrupted Yu Xing's movement of turning his head to look at her. Maybe Yu Wan was like Ye Ming at that time, Has an inhuman appearance.
Now she is pretending to remind Yu Xing that it is possible to eliminate her suspicion. What's more, she is inducing Yu Xing to reveal the fact that he saw the face on the glass. Once Yu Xing is fooled, Yu Xing will throw away the disguise and Just twist his head off.
Because there is no system, in this world view, the rules related to objects have to be explored by the deducers themselves. God knows whether Yu Wan will be a potential teammate or a time bomb.
It only took a moment for these thoughts to form in his mind. Yu Xing smiled at Yu Wan and asked a little puzzled: "What are you talking about? Have you watched too much horror recently and have something bad happened? association."
After saying that, he took out the key and inserted it into the lock of the door.
"Eh?" Yu Wan murmured hesitantly, "No way. Is it true that I have been too addicted recently and have hallucinations? But..."
Yu Xing was the first to step into the house, and Yu Wan hurriedly followed after being stunned for a moment.
She acted like an ordinary person who had witnessed a supernatural event for the first time and was not convinced about what she saw. Yu Xing's performance obviously made her feel confused, but it seemed that out of good intentions, she had to say again: "So you I didn’t see it, but I don’t care if you believe it or not, I suspect that Brother Ye Ming has touched something dirty recently. Really, the scene just now was too weird, I am very knowledgeable in this area!"
Yu Wan glanced around and confirmed that Ye Ming hadn't come back yet, and Ye Qin's sister hadn't come downstairs either: "Just last night, an old lady near our house passed away. Even when we were very young, we went to her house. The old woman who picked persimmons. I heard that her son was not good to her and even beat her. The old woman was so angry. I had a bunch of messy dreams last night and I always felt a little uneasy. I suspect that Brother Ye Ming has also been disturbed by the ghost of the old lady. You know that I like to study supernatural things, so I believe in this... I just want to remind you."
Yu Xing listened perfunctorily. He would write down what Yu Xing said, but he didn't necessarily believe it.
After all, there are so many lies, and no one can believe them until they understand the rules of this world.
After entering the door, he put on the plastic slippers from home and instantly took in the layout of the living room.
The living room is very large, with three relatively large blue sofas surrounding the center of the living room. In the middle of the sofas is a wooden coffee table, with a plate of fruit on it and a vase of carefully maintained flowers.
Opposite the main seat of the sofa is a TV. The TV is not big and the model is a bit old, which is in line with Yu Xing's guess that it is a bit retro at this time.
Next to the living room is the kitchen. The open kitchen door allows Yu Xing to see some of the furnishings inside the kitchen. The refrigerator and stove are all available. The floor is covered with the same white tiles as in the living room. Except for the tiles and walls, this The main color of the home is blue. Even the bookcases in the living room, the low table and the square table for dining, as well as the three chairs surrounding the square table, are all covered or covered with a layer of blue cloth cushions.
The cool tones were very effective in cooling down the temperature. Fortunately, Yu was not hot at all. In this house, he could not even feel the slightest bit of summer temperature.
Yu Xun skillfully took out a pair of goose-yellow girls' slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall and distinguished them from another pair of smaller pink slippers.
"Hmm... let me think about it... within seven days after the death of the old woman, don't get up and wander around after midnight. If you see black or white cloth, don't care about it. You must not uncover it. And if you see a dead person, don't let it go. Realize that you can see it." Yu Wan still babbled a lot on his own, not caring about Yu Xing's indifference, and counted out three taboos with his hands.
Yu Xing became serious when he heard these taboos. Is his doubt about Wan really unnecessary?
Yu Wan not only does not look like a malicious ghost, but also looks like a "personality who loves supernatural events and studies it". He replaced the system responsibility and issued the first rule of the world.
Yu Xing showed some confusion: "How do you know these strange things?"
"Is it strange? Come on, everyone who is even slightly interested in supernatural phenomena knows this!" Yu Wan looked at Yu Xing in disbelief, "Even the weird stories passed down by word of mouth will mention these, have you never Haven’t you heard ghost stories?”
"...You know, when others use the time to listen to ghost stories, I usually spend time reading." Yu Xing found excuses very quickly. If this is the case, it means that what Yu Xing said is indeed that this world is more "depleted of people." Everyone knows the rules.
Regardless of whether what Ye Qin and his family will experience in this house has anything to do with the dead old woman, what Yu Wan told him is the most valuable information so far, that is, no night before the end of Dead Man's Head Seven.
When traveling; when you see black cloth and white cloth, you cannot uncover it; when you meet a ghost, you cannot let it know that you are seen.
In the car, if Yu Xuan had not asked him to borrow a napkin, he might have directly violated the third taboo.
"Oh, I know you are a college student and you only know how to read. You are such a nerd." Yu Wan muttered, "But you should also learn about other things occasionally. Don't take what I say seriously. I am here for
I only agreed to eat at your house after I told you this, otherwise I would go back and you wouldn’t know anything, and it would be troublesome if something happens."
"Okay, I know, I will pay attention." Yu Xing agreed as if he had compromised. When he left the examination room, he found that he did not have a mobile phone on him. According to the sense of time, mobile phones were not among the students at this time.
If Yu Wan left, there would be no way to contact him easily.
When you make a phone call through your home landline, it is easy for others to hear you.
However, seeing that although Yu Mang was nervous, he didn't look particularly scared, he guessed that the world's recognition of supernatural phenomena should be greater than the real world.
In other words, those taboos may have been developed step by step by people in this world from the past.
It’s a bit strange, but it’s not inexplicable.
"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time chatting?" Suddenly Ye Ming's voice came from behind. Ye Ming stood behind the two of them at some point. He walked as if he didn't make any footsteps.
Yu Wan's face changed uncontrollably, and then he laughed twice: "Nothing, it's about the exam. I'm not sure about a lot of questions. I just asked Ye Qin, and I think I got most of them wrong."
“Yeah.” Yu Xing responded calmly, not wanting to crowd in the doorway, he walked into the living room and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
It’s five o’clock.
If he is the one doing the cooking, can he now enter the kitchen?
He put down his backpack and walked towards the kitchen while the other two people watched him. There was no sound from them to stop him, indicating that his behavior was not unusual.
It wasn’t until he entered the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door that he heard Yu Wan ask enthusiastically:
“What are you eating today?”
Looking at the ingredients, Yu Xing twitched his lips and replied: "Eat meat. Didn't my brother say he wants to eat meat?"
"What kind of meat?" Yu Wan asked again, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.
Yu Xing looked at the refrigerator. The head of a middle-aged man stared at him with eyes wide open. The disassembled arms, legs and feet were piled on the bottom layer of the head.
"Xiao Qin..." Rentou didn't move his mouth, but he seemed to hear a call.
Yu Xing didn’t show any signs of it on his face. He decisively turned off the refrigeration layer above and opened the freezer layer. As expected, he saw a pile of bloody internal organs and part of the ribs that had not been processed properly.
…”
How does this deduction work? Surprises always appear suddenly when everything seems normal.
He did not answer Yu Wan anymore, but raised his voice and asked: "Brother, come here and see what you want to eat? You worked hard on the exam today, I will reward you."
"So good? Then I'm not polite." There was a smile in Ye Ming's voice. It was obvious that this brother was relatively gentle towards his younger brother.
He had just put away his schoolbag. Like Yu Xing, they all left their schoolbags on the sofa temporarily. The tall and thin boy came over wearing slippers, and Yu Xing made room for him.
Since he stepped aside, his view of the inside of the refrigerator was blocked by the refrigerator door, so he concentrated on carefully observing Ye Ming's expression as he looked behind the refrigerator.
“There are still a lot of ingredients. Xiaoting bought them all?” Ye Ming’s tone was normal, and he could even hear a little happiness.
Xiaoting?
Yu Xing quickly realized that this Xiaoting was his sister, and she should be named Ye Ting.
It’s amazing that this family is like this. The eldest brother who is a senior in high school is responsible for studying, the younger brother who is a sophomore in high school is responsible for cooking, and the younger sister is responsible for buying groceries. The mother is missing, and the father is responsible for serving as ingredients in the refrigerator?
That's right, Yu Xing felt that the man in the refrigerator was the father of the family. The man's head was blue from the cold, but he still retained his appearance. He looked about forty, which was in line with their father's age.
Does this mean daddy was the first to die?
Yu Xing lowered his eyes and rejected the idea.
Not necessarily. Ye Ming doesn’t look like a normal living person. His mother is missing and her condition cannot be determined. There is also a sister named Xiaoting, and she doesn’t know what she looks like now.
What's more, the worldview of this world has not yet been solved. If it is a worldview similar to "Ye Qin's Nightmare", then the order of death in the dream cannot be counted. The real clues that can represent the truth must be found from the clues.
“Since Xiaoting bought so many vegetables and has a holiday tomorrow, how about making potato stew and beef today?” Ye Ming reached out and rummaged in the refrigerator, and then took out a bag of raw beef.
Yu Xing was very sure that there was only the decomposed body and some packaged vegetables in the refrigerator just now, and there was no such thing as the bag of things Ye Ming was holding now.
He leaned over. This was also a height difference that he had not felt for a long time. As a sophomore in high school, he seemed to be only about 1.7 meters now, nearly ten centimeters shorter than his lanky brother.
Standing next to Ye Ming, the scene he saw in the refrigerator was completely different from before. They were all normal ingredients, and there were also vegetables such as potatoes and carrots.
The meat includes pork, beef, and chicken. Each portion is not too much, but it is definitely enough for four people to eat two or three meals.
A glimmer of interest flashed in Yu Xing's eyes, right? This would be fun. A little abnormal event would be in line with the tone of the deduction. If he hadn't called Ye Ming over just now, I'm afraid he would have been faced with either cooking with corpses or not being able to cook.
I don't know if he will die because of this situation.
He also felt that the horror tone of this deduction was roughly a mixture of Chinese and Japanese. Generally speaking, these two horror plots are the most difficult to handle, because they will not allow the deduction to resist with force.
room.
Take Sadako for example. The scary thing about Sadako is that it follows an unexplainable curse law. As long as the person who watches the videotape does not send the videotape to others, then they will receive a midnight ring that cannot be hung up.
Sadako will crawl out of the TV, and no matter how hard people struggle, they will be killed by Sadako's terrifying hair.
In the same situation, if the deducer can use the same supernatural means to deal with Sadako, or even eliminate Sadako, the sense of terror will be greatly reduced.
Now, Yu Xing is in a state of being unable to resist.
Facing Ye Ming's expectant gaze, he shook his head and said: "It's too late to make beef stew today. This needs to be done in advance. I have a holiday tomorrow. I can prepare it during the day tomorrow and eat beef stew with potatoes in the evening."
He took the beef from Ye Ming's hand and put it back in the refrigerator, then took out the chicken: "Make Kung Pao Chicken with edamame?"
“I’ll add more diced chicken, and then fry a plate of tomato scrambled eggs and a plate of small green vegetables.”
“Okay.” Ye Ming didn’t choose. He happily returned to the living room and sat down at the dining table.
He didn’t just sit and wait for the meal at this time. Instead, he opened his schoolbag, took out the homework in the bag, and started writing against the clock.
"Is Xiaoting upstairs?" Yu Ming sat opposite Ye Ming. Even if she saw the supernatural incident on the glass window, when she reminded Yu Xing just now, she didn't say it was because Ye Ming had something wrong with him, but she was suspicious.
Ye Ming was affected by the ghost of the old woman, which shows that her trust in Ye Ming is still very strong.
Perhaps it’s because the two ghosts don’t want to cause internal strife?
“Well, she should be reading a book. I’ll ask her to come down later during dinner.” Ye Ming said.
Yu sighed, looked at the time, took out his homework and started writing.
During this period, the landline phone placed on the coffee table rang once. Yu Wan answered the phone as if he had expected it, and said several times to the person on the other end of the phone: "Yes, um, mom, don't you know me yet?
If I didn't come home on time, I would have gone to Ye Qin's house. Hey, cleaning? Okay, I'll go back after dinner."
After this phone call, the living room suddenly became quiet. Yu Xing stopped listening to the corner and started to deal with the ingredients.
He has always been good at cooking. After paying a little attention to whether the seasonings were replaced by messy things like human blood and hair, he cooked the dishes easily.
By the way, he still had something to think about. For this pre-examination, I heard that all the test questions for all the deducers were the same. So what should people who don’t know how to cook do? Should they play Ye Ming instead?
Who will the female actor play? Will it be Yu Wan or Xiaoting?
Nothing else happened next. When Yu Xing brought the cooked dishes and stewed rice to the table, Ye Ming got up and walked up the stairs to the second floor, saying that he wanted to ask Xiaoting to come down for dinner.
Not long after, two figures came down the stairs. The one walking in front was a petite figure who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. His hair was hanging loosely behind his head, his face was slightly pale, and his body was as thin as Ye Ming.
She only wore a pink one-piece nightgown at home. The sleeves were a bit wide, which made her arms look very slender.
Ye Ming followed her as if he was protecting her.
“Ye Ting, long time no see!” Yu Wan waved to Ye Ting.
Ye Ting has a more cheerful personality than her two brothers. Although she is also quieter, she has a smile on her face. After seeing Yu Bao, she first said hello to Yu Bao: "Hello, sister Yu."
Yu Xing remained calm. Based on Ye Ting's age, she should be in the second or third grade of junior high school. But today is obviously Friday, but Ye Ting seems to have not gone to school. She is wearing a nightgown at home, and even bought something in the morning.
vegetable.
As for this, both Ye Ming and Yu Wan seem to be quite used to it.
Did Ye Ting not go to school? Yu Xing noticed that Ye Ming was guarding Ye Ting vaguely when he went down the stairs, and he had a guess in his mind that Ye Ting might not be in good health.
The two people walked to the dining table, and Ye Ting was a little surprised: "Second brother, there are a lot of Kung Pao chicken today."
"Pfft." Yu Wan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Because Ye Ming said he wanted to eat meat, "Ye Qin" actually fried a large pot of Kung Pao chicken. It looked quite spectacular. He definitely wouldn't be able to eat it today.
Finished.
Ye Ming: “……”
The atmosphere among everyone was quite harmonious, and Yu Xing finally noticed that the three brothers and sisters of the Ye family were all relatively introverted, but Yu Wan was particularly cheerful, like an energetic little sun, and talked a lot. Yu Wan had a meal together, so
Even Ye Ming and Ye Ting talked a little more.
After finishing the meal, Yu Wan said that she wanted to clean up the house together, so she patted her butt and left first, leaving only the three brothers and sisters to put away the dishes.
As the eldest brother, Ye Ming, although the senior high school studies were very heavy, he did not let his younger brothers and sisters do all the work. He washed the dishes by himself, and let Yu Xing and Ye Ting go upstairs to do their own things.
.
Yu Xing finally had the opportunity to go up to the second floor and take a look. Speaking of the lobby on the first floor, he didn't look too carefully. There were always people around and it was inconvenient for him to observe. In addition to the living room, the first floor also has a kitchen and a bathroom.
There is a small activity room.
In the bookcase in the hall, there was a framed photo. Yu Xing glanced at it briefly. It was a photo of the three siblings, and there was still no sign of their parents.
I hope there will be clues about the father and mother of this family on the second floor...
The test time on the test paper is definitely different from the deduction he is experiencing now. Yu Xing had a premonition that he might have to stay in this world for two or three days. Even if the system wanted them to adapt to the long deduction in advance, he might have to stay for
longer.
Yu Xing still has no idea about the three questions. The most important thing is to unravel the world view. He must distinguish whether the timeline he is currently in is the relative reality of this world, or someone's dream, or whether
It's a re-enactment of fear, or even a revisit of a family's soul after death.
This is the advantage of knowing a little bit about various horrors, horror games, and supernatural events. At least you won’t get confused, but you will soon be able to have a general world view based on the tone.
“Second brother, what are you thinking about?” Ye Ting asked a little strangely when she saw Yu Xing’s footsteps slowing down slightly.
“It’s nothing, I’m just thinking about a question for today’s exam.” Yu Xing’s excuse is really useful. Hey, he’s such a good student.
"Second brother, you must have done very well in the exam, right?" Ye Ting's tone was a little envious, "When can I go to school to take the exam..."
"You will definitely be able to go, soon." Yu Xing, although he did not know the specific problem of Ye Ting, he gave encouragement very firmly.
Ye Ting shook her head and said with a smile: "Second brother, please stop making me happy. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to school in the next few years."
Yu Xing showed a bit of unbearable expression.
Ye Ting quickly comforted her: "But don't worry, I will study hard with you. When the time comes to take the college entrance examination, I will definitely be able to get into a good university."
"Okay, you can do it as long as I'm here." Yu Xing touched Ye Ting's head.
Ye Ting looked at Yu Xing with her bright eyes: "Second brother, have you finished your homework? When will you give me extra lessons today?"
Yu Xing thought about it for a moment. "Ye Qin" had a habit of recording homework in a notebook. He had already read it. Because he had just passed the exam, there were not many homework recorded in the notebook this time, and the appointment was probably for the convenience of deduction. The notebook
The recorded homework has been checked by him and all written, so there is no need for him to do anything.
So he said: “I can give you tutoring now.”
Ye Ting was a little happy.
At this time, the two of them had already gone up the stairs to the second floor. The layout of the second floor was relatively simple. Except for a toilet at the end, there were four rooms. There was something at the door of each room that could allow Yu Xing to identify the owner of the room.
.
Ye Ming's room is closest to the stairs, the door is closed, and there is a piece of paper posted on it that says "Come on, sprint for the college entrance examination." Ye Qin's room is opposite Ye Ming, with "Do not disturb when studying."
The room is at the back, and there is a small pink skirt teddy bear stuck on the door.
The remaining room was sealed by several layers of chains, and a large and old lock hung there. It was difficult for Yu Xing not to notice it.
