The empty streets gradually turned cold and the wind blew on Yu Xing's face, mixed with Yu Wan's tone, which made Yu Xing unconsciously get another layer of goose bumps.
He looked at him seriously and felt regretful, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
Although it was a bit unexpected, Yu Wan was really reminding him of his abnormality about Ye Ming.
In addition, when she was in the car, she used the excuse that the napkin was gone and interrupted him, he wanted to turn his head while Ye Ming was gaze. At that time, Yu Wan had the actions of reminding him with her eyes.
But... it is not ruled out that Yu Wan realized that he had discovered Ye Ming's flaw, so he took the initiative and interrupted Yu Xing's actions in advance when he wanted to turn his head to look at her. Maybe Yu Wan was like Ye Ming at that time, and he looked inhumane.
Now pretending to remind Yu Xing that there is a possibility of eliminating his suspicion. What's more, she is inducing Yu Xing to tell the fact that she saw the face on the glass. Once Yu Xing is deceived, Yu Wan will throw away the disguise and twist his head off directly.
Because there is no system, in this world view, the rules about things must be explored by the deducer. God knows that Yu Wan will be a potential teammate or a time bomb.
These thoughts formed in his mind for only a moment. Yu Xing smiled at Yu Wan and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Have you read too many horror novels recently and have bad associations?"
After saying that, he took out the key and inserted it into the door lock.
"Eh?" Yu Wan murmured with a little hesitation, "No, is it really that I am too addicted to novels recently and have hallucinations? But..."
Yu Xing took the lead in stepping into the house, and Yu Wan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.
She acted like an ordinary person who had first seen a supernatural incident and was not very firm in 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: "It turns out that you didn't see it, but I believe it or not. I suspect that Brother Ye Ming had been exposed to something unclean recently. Really, the scene just now was too weird, and I have a lot of research on this aspect!"
Yu Wan glanced around and confirmed that Ye Ming had not come back yet. Ye Qin's sister did not go downstairs: "Just last night, an old lady near our house passed away. The old lady who went to her house to pick persimmons when we were very young. I heard that her son was not good to her and even beat her. The old lady was so angry. Last night I had a lot of messy dreams and always felt a little uneasy. I suspected that Brother Ye Ming was also disturbed by the ghost of the old lady. You know that I like to study supernatural things, so I believe in this... I'm just reminding you."
Yu Xing listened perfunctorily, and he would write down Yu Wan's words, but he didn't have to believe them.
After all, there are so many nonsense, and no one can believe it until they understand the rules of this world.
After entering the door, he changed into plastic slippers at home and instantly took the layout of the living room into his eyes.
The living room is large, with three relatively huge blue sofas surrounding the center of the living room. In the middle of the sofa is a wooden coffee table with a plate of fruit on it and a bottle of carefully cared flowers.
Opposite the main seat of the sofa is a TV set. The TV set is not big and the model is a bit old, which is also in line with Yu Xing's speculation that the era was somewhat retro.
The kitchen is connected to the living room. The open kitchen door allows Yu Xing to see some of the furnishings inside the kitchen, and the refrigerator and stove are all available. The floor is covered with white tiles like the living room. Apart from the tiles and walls, the main color of this home is blue. Even the bookcases in the living room, low tables, square tables for eating, and three chairs surrounding the square tables, are covered or covered with blue cloth pads.
The faint cool tones have achieved remarkable results in cooling down. Yu Xing is not hot at all. In this house, he can't even feel the temperature that belongs to summer.
Yu Wan skillfully took out a pair of goose-yellow girls' slippers from the entrance shoe cabinet and distinguished them from another pair of smaller pink slippers.
"Well... I think about it... within seven days after the old lady died, don't get up and wander around after midnight. Don't worry about the black cloth and white cloth. Don't reveal it. And, when you see the dead, don't let it realize that you can see it." Yu Wan was still talking a lot, not caring about Yu Xing's coldness, and counting three taboos with his fingers.
But Yu Xing became serious when he heard these taboos. Is it really unnecessary for his suspicion of regret?
Yu Wan not only doesn't look like a malicious ghost, but instead seems to be a person who has studied because she "loves supernatural events, so she has some research personality", replacing the system's responsibilities and issuing the first rule of the world.
Yu Xing showed a little puzzled: "How did you know these strange things?"
"Is it strange? Please, this person who is a little interested in supernatural phenomena knows it!" Yu Wan looked at Yu Xing in disbelief, "Even the weird talks passed down by word of mouth, they will mention these. Have you never heard of ghost stories before?"
"...You know, I usually read books when others use to listen to strange talks." Yu Xing looked for excuses very quickly. If so, it means that what Yu Wan said was indeed a more "well-known" rule in this world.
Regardless of whether what Ye Qin and his family have to go through in the house has anything to do with the dead old lady, what Yu Wan told him is the most valuable information so far, that is, you cannot travel at night before the end of the seventh year of the dead; you cannot uncover the black and white cloth when you see it; you cannot let it know that you are seen when you meet a ghost.
If Yu Wan hadn't borrowed a napkin in the car, he might have violated the third taboo directly.
"Oh, knowing that you are a college tycoon, you know that you read books, you are a nerd." Yu Wan muttered, "But you should also know something else occasionally. Don't take what I said seriously. I promised to have dinner at your house just to tell you this, otherwise I will know nothing when I go back, and I will be in trouble 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 the age, mobile phones were not popular among students at this time, so Yu Wan could not easily contact him after leaving.
It is easy to be heard by others by making phone calls through the landline at home.
However, although Yu Wan was nervous, she didn't look particularly scared. He guessed that this world should have a greater recognition of supernatural phenomena than the real world.
In other words, those taboos may be all people from this world who have tried step by step since the past.
A little strange, but not unexplainable.
"What are you talking about? It seems that you are having a lot of fun?" Suddenly, Ye Ming's voice came from behind. Ye Ming stood behind the two of them at some point, but he didn't make any footsteps when he walked.
Yu Wan's face changed uncontrollably, and then she laughed dryly: "It's nothing, I'm talking about the exam. I have many questions that are not sure about. I just asked Ye Qin, and it seems that I'm half wrong."
"Yeah." Yu Xing answered lightly, not wanting to squeeze into the door, walked into the living room and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
It's five o'clock.
If he was the one who cooked, would he be able to go into the kitchen now?
He put down his backpack and walked towards the kitchen under the gaze of the other two people. There was no sound of stopping the two people, indicating that his actions were not abnormal.
It was not until the moment he entered the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door that he heard Yu Wan ask excitedly:
"What should I eat today?"
After looking at the ingredients, Yu Xing pulled the corner of his mouth and replied: "Eat meat, didn't my brother say he wanted to eat meat?"
"What kind of meat?" Yu Wan asked again, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Yu Xing looked in the refrigerator, the middle-aged man's head and eyes widened, and he looked at him with his eyes open. His arms and legs and feet were piled up under the head.
"Xiao Qin..." Before the head and mouth moved, he seemed to hear a call.
Yu Xing didn't show any signs on his face, so he decisively turned off the refrigeration layer on it and turned on the frozen layer...
What's going on with this deduction? Surprises always appear suddenly when everything seems normal.
He did not answer Yu Wan again, but asked loudly: "Brother, come and see what you want to eat? Thank you for your hard work in the exam today, I will reward you."
"So good? Then I'm not polite." Ye Ming's voice smiled. It was obvious that this brother was quite gentle to his younger brother.
He had just put his schoolbag in his arms. Like Yu Xing, they both temporarily threw the schoolbag on the sofa. The tall and thin boy walked over in slippers, and Yu Xing gave up his position.
Since he stepped aside, his vision of looking at the inside of the refrigerator was blocked by the refrigerator door, and he focused on carefully observing the expression after Ye Ming looked at the refrigerator.
"There are many ingredients left? They were all bought by Xiaoting?" Ye Ming's tone was not abnormal, and he could even hear a little happy.
Xiaoting?
Yu Xing quickly realized that Xiaoting was probably his sister, so she should be named Ye Ting.
This family is amazing. The eldest brother in the third year of high school is responsible for studying, the younger brother in the second year of high school is responsible for cooking, the younger sister is responsible for buying vegetables, the mother is missing, and the father is 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 in the cold, but he also retained his appearance when he was alive. He looked about forty, which was very suitable for their father's age.
Does this mean that dad is the first to die?
Yu Xing lowered his eyes and denied this idea.
Yu Xing lowered his eyes...
Not necessarily. Ye Ming doesn't look like a normal living person, and his mother is invisible to judge her status. She also has a sister named Xiaoting, and she doesn't know what she looks like now.
What's more, the world view of this world has not been solved yet. If it is a world view similar to "Ye Qin's Nightmare", the order of death in the dream cannot be counted. The true clues that can represent the truth must be found from clues.
"Since Xiaoting has bought so many dishes and is on holiday tomorrow, how about making beef stewed with potatoes today?" Ye Ming reached out and searched in the refrigerator, then took out a bag of raw beef.
Yu Xing was very sure that there was only the broken body in the refrigerator just now, as well as some packaged vegetables, and there was no such bag of things in Ye Ming's hand now.
He leaned over, which was also a height difference that he hadn't felt for a long time. As a second-year student, he now seems to be only 1.7 meters shorter than his taller brother.
When he got close to Ye Ming, the scene in the refrigerator he saw was completely different from what he had just seen. 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 trace of interest flashed in Yu Xing's eyes. Yes, this is fun. It is only when an abnormal event occurs to meet the tone of deduction. If he didn't call Ye Ming over here just now, he would probably face the situation where he couldn't cook. I don't know if he would die because of this.
He also felt that the horror tone of this deduction is roughly a mixture of Chinese and Japanese. Generally speaking, these two horror plots are the most difficult to deal with because they will not give the deducer room for force to resist.
For example, Sadako is terrible. It follows a law of unsolvable curse. As long as the person who watches the videotape does not send the videotape to others, he will receive a midnight bell that cannot be hung. Sadako will crawl out of the TV. No matter how hard the person struggles, he 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 horror will be greatly reduced.
Now, Yu Xing is in a state of inability to resist.
Facing Ye Ming's anticipated gaze, he shook his head and said, "It's too late to stew beef today. This must be made in advance. I'll be able to prepare it during the day tomorrow. I can eat beef stewed with potatoes tonight."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He took the beef from Ye Ming's hand and put it back in the refrigerator, then took out the chicken: "Together with edamame, make Kung Pao chicken?"
"I'll add more chicken diced rice, then stir-fry a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a plate of small vegetables."
"Okay." Ye Ming didn't pick on it, and happily returned to the living room and sat on the dining table.
He didn't start sitting and waiting for food at this time, but instead opened his schoolbag, took out the homework in his bag, and started writing it up every minute.
"Is Xiaoting upstairs?" Yu Wan sat opposite Ye Ming. Even though she saw the supernatural incident on the glass window, she did not say that it was because Ye Ming had any problems, but suspected that Ye Ming was affected by the old lady's ghost, which shows that she still has a strong sense of trust in Ye Ming.
——Maybe it is because the two ghosts don’t want to create internal conflict?
"Well, she should be reading a book and call her down later when she eats." Ye Ming said.
Yu Wan said oh, and looked at the time and took out his homework to start writing.
During this period, the landline on the coffee table rang once. Yu Wan answered the phone as if she had expected it, and replied to the other person on the phone: "Yes, yes, mom, don't you know me yet? If I don't go home on time, I will definitely go to Ye Qin's house. Hey, clean it? Okay, I'll go back after dinner."
After the phone call, the living room suddenly became quiet. Yu Xing took back his attention from listening to the wall and began to process the ingredients.
He has always been very good at cooking. After paying a little attention to whether there is any mess in the seasonings, he easily made the dishes.
By the way, he still has a leisurely mind. In this pre-exam, I heard that all the deducers’ test questions are the same. What should people who can’t cook do? Will they play Ye Ming?
Who will be the female deducer play? Was it Yu Wan or Xiaoting?
Nothing happened next. When Yu Xing brought the prepared dishes and braised rice to the table, Ye Ming stood up and headed to the second floor along the stairs, saying that he wanted to call Xiaoting down to have a meal.
Soon, two figures came down the stairs. Walking in front was a petite figure. She looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her hair was loosely covered with her head, her face was a little pale, and her body was as thin as Ye Ming. She only wore a pink one-piece nightgown at home, with her sleeves a little wide, making her arms look very slender.
Ye Ming followed her as if she was protecting her.
"Ye Ting, long time no see!" Yu Wan waved to Ye Ting.
Ye Ting's personality was a little cheerful than both of her brothers. Although she was quieter, she had a smile on her face. After seeing Yu Wan, she first greeted Yu Wan: "Hello Sister Yu."
Yu Xing remained calm. At Ye Ting's age, she should be in the second or third grade of junior high school. But today is obviously Friday, Ye Ting seems to have not gone to school. She is wearing a nightgown and even bought vegetables in the morning.
And both Ye Ming and Yu Wan seemed quite used to this.
Didn't Ye Ting go to school? Yu Xing noticed that Ye Ming was vaguely guarding Ye Ting when he was going down the stairs, and he had a guess in his heart, and he was afraid that Ye Ting's body was not so healthy.
The two of them walked to the dining table and Ye Ting was a little surprised: "Second brother, there are a lot of diced Kung Pao chicken today."
"Puff." Yu Wan couldn't help laughing, because Ye Ming said he wanted to eat meat, "Ye Qin" really fried a large pot of Gongbao chicken. It looked quite spectacular and must have been eaten today.
Ye Ming: “…”
The atmosphere of everyone was quite harmonious. Yu Xing could tell that the three siblings of the Ye family were relatively restrained, but Yu Wan was very cheerful, like an energetic little sun, and talked a lot. Yu Wan had dinner together, and even Ye Ming and Ye Ting said a little more.
After dinner, Yu Wan said that her family wanted her to clean up together, so she patted her butt and left first, leaving only three brothers and sisters to clean up their dishes.
As the eldest brother, although Ye Ming was promoted to the senior year, his studies were heavy, but he didn't let his younger brothers and sisters do all the work. He washed dishes alone, and asked Yu Xing and Ye Ting to go upstairs to do their own things first.
Yu Xing finally had the opportunity to go up the second floor to take a look. He didn't look too carefully at the lobby on the first floor. There were always people around him, so it was not convenient for him to observe. In addition to the living room, there was a kitchen, a bathroom, and a very small activity room on the first floor.
In the bookcase where books are placed in the hall, a framed photo was placed. Yu Xing took a rough look and found that it was a photo of the three of them, and there was still no trace of their parents.
I hope there are clues about this family’s father and mother on the second floor...
The time of the exam on the test paper is definitely different from the deduction he has experienced now. Yu Xing felt that he would probably have to stay in this world for two or three days, and even if the system wanted them to adapt to the long-term deduction in advance, he might have to stay longer.
Yu Xing has no idea about the three questions yet. The most important thing is to solve the world view. It is necessary to distinguish whether the timeline he is now in is the relative reality of this world, or someone's dream, or a recurrence of fear, or even the rebirth of the soul of a family after death.
This is the benefit of understanding all kinds of horror novels, horror games, and supernatural events. At least you won’t be confused, but you will soon have a rough worldview category based on the tone.
"Second brother, what are you thinking?" Ye Ting asked a little strangely when she saw Yu Xing's steps slowing down slightly.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking about a question for today's exam." Yu Xing's excuse is really useful. Tsk, it's so good to be a top student.
"Second brother, you must have done a good exam, right?" Ye Ting's tone was a little envious, "When will I go to school to take the exam..."
"You can definitely go, soon." Yu Xing, although he didn't know what the specific problem was about Ye Ting, he gave encouragement very firmly.
Ye Ting shook her head and smiled, "Second brother, don't make me happy. I'm afraid I can't go to school in this situation in the past few years."
Yu Xing showed a slight unbearable expression.
Ye Ting quickly comforted her: "But you don't have to worry. I will study hard with you. When I go to the college entrance examination, I will definitely get into a good university."
"Okay, with me here, you can definitely do it." Yu Xing touched Ye Ting's head.
Ye Ting looked at Yu Xing with more lively eyes: "Second brother, have you finished your homework? When will I make up for the lessons today?"
Yu Xing thought about it and said that "Ye Qin" had the habit of recording homework in a notebook. He had read it. Because he had just passed the exam, there were not many homework recorded in the notebook this time, and it was convenient for deduction. He had checked the homework recorded in the notebook and had finished writing it, so he didn't need to do it at all.
So he said, "I can give you a tutoring now."
Ye Ting was a little happy.
At this time, the two of them had already climbed the stairs on the second floor. The layout of the second floor was relatively simple. In addition to the toilet at the end, there were four rooms. At the door of each room, there were some things that allowed Yu Xing to identify the identity of the owner of the room.
Ye Ming's room is closest to the stairs, with a door closed, with a piece of paper posted on it, saying "Sprint for the college entrance examination, come on", Ye Qin's room is opposite Ye Ming, with "Don't disturb when studying", Ye Ting's room is close to inside, and a small pink skirt teddy bear doll was stuck on the door.
The remaining room was sealed by several layers of chains, and a huge and old lock was hung there, which was difficult for Yu Xing to not pay attention.
