The doll merchant is an immoral but very polite man.
After being rejected, the businessman said nothing and gave Yu Xing his hotel room number tonight as agreed. He didn't bother anymore and continued to wait where he was.
There were already several Yu Xing dolls on his cart. Yu Xing counted them and found that the deadline was almost here, but two people still failed to submit their dolls.
It seems that some people cannot finish today's game and are going to sleep on the street.
His eyes flashed and he silently glanced at Hua Subai, who seemed to know nothing.
Yu Xing was not sure for a while whether the other party collected more than 80 dolls because of some kind of psychotic brain circuit and collecting habit, or because he wanted to trick others into sleeping on the street and try to avoid the consequences of being picked up by residents as sacrifices tomorrow.
"What are you looking at me for? Let's go." Hua Subai rolled up his sleeves and smiled. Just looking at this very deceptive face, no one would have thought about the color of his heart under this skin.
The four of them returned to the hotel.
The journey was very smooth and no accidents occurred.
Pushing open the door of the hotel again, with the hotel mission last night as a basis, several people saw the old hotel owner sitting gloomily in the lobby this time, and they were only filled with regret.
The shopkeeper showed kindness when he was young, but became lonely when he got old.
The hotel was still dimly lit, but to them, it was no longer scary.
Zhang Yu stepped forward and knocked on the counter. When the old shopkeeper turned his eyes from the storybook, his voice became softer: "Old man, stay in the shop."
The old man stared at them with his turbid eyes for a moment, and seemed to recognize them: "It's still you."
After getting familiar with each other, the old man took their notes, read them closely under the candlelight for a long time, and threw them a few room keys.
They walked towards the back corridor, and when they passed the corner, they suddenly felt that there were a lot of people alive today.
The deducers who got the room gathered in the room in twos and threes, most of them with the door open, discussing the safety of the hotel.
Yu Xing came to his newly assigned room and opened the door with the key, only to find that the layout inside was completely different from last night.
According to his impression, this room should be the room of the "two pharmacist brothers" last night. At that time, there was a strong sense of separation in the room. On one side, it had the most generous living conditions in a difficult environment, and on the other side, it had the smell of medicine that lingered all year round.
and a bed of despair.
But now, this room is just like the original room that no one has ever lived in. Everything has been cleared away, leaving only the simplest furnishings such as a bed and a desk.
In the emptiness, the papers on the bed stood out.
Yu Xing picked up the piece of paper that had not appeared last night and glanced down at it.
【Hotel check-in rules】
【1. You must wear red clothes to sleep at night.】
[Two, you must go to bed after ten o'clock. No matter what sound you hear, do not open your eyes. 】
[Three, if you hear someone talking at night, no matter what the content is, don’t believe it, you just need to sleep.]
[Four, don’t visit after nine o’clock.]
[Five, when the bell rings seven times, please open your eyes to welcome the arrival of the Auspicious Snow Festival! Celebrate! 】
There are five rules in total, except for the fifth, the first four are like unquestionable orders.
Yu Xing chuckled lightly.
If this is a copy of a rules-based ghost story, or if the [book] is very powerful, you can still listen to the content on the paper.
But he already understood the world view and analyzed the curse of the sacred tree in advance. Looking at these rules, he felt that the intention was too easy to understand.
The first one is to let the deducers sleep wearing the ritual clothes they made. If they are not sure about the harm of doing this and want to avoid the trap, they can only dye the clothes red with blood. No matter whose blood it is, it will be
Conducive to creating chaos.
Articles 2, 3, and 4 are to divide the deducers, block the communication channels between the deducers, and create opportunities for the curse of the sacred tree.
If a person who does not know the curse of the sacred tree obeys these rules, he may think it is a trick of a ghost if his teammates try to wake him up from his cognitively distorted dream.
Thanks to Yu Xing's warning in advance, no one will fall victim to this trick.
Yu Xing folded the paper and threw it on the table. Nine o'clock came soon, and the deducers who were discussing the rules in other people's rooms rushed back to their own rooms at the last minute, closed the door, and made preparations.
Yu Xing also closed the door, and then took a good look at the blood mark on the back of his hand.
This is Zhang Yu's blood.
The curse in the blood became more and more noisy, showing a kind of excitement that it was about to come.
A cold feeling covered the skin, a temperature that would make ordinary people shiver.
Yu Xing just moved his fingers, and the meridians bulged and then subsided. He sat on the bed and closed his eyes to feel the presence of the wooden sign.
Since Zhang Yu's curse was transferred, the connection with the wooden tablet was naturally transferred to him. He immediately understood Zhang Yu's wishes written on the wooden tablet, and had a certain understanding of the false memories that the sacred tree might create.
prediction.
Come early, sacred tree.
If he comes earlier, he can solve it earlier, go to bed earlier, and then face the ending tomorrow.
With this thought in mind, Yu Xinggan simply put on the festival clothes - this was the only rule he planned to abide by, because it was related to tomorrow's festival, and there might be other weird rules involved.
After changing his clothes, he lay down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep, all at once, achieving the achievement of going to bed one hour earlier than the rule.
…
In the middle of the night, Yu Xing was awakened by a cold feeling on the back of his hand.
He didn't open his eyes for a while, knowing that the curse was coming.
Did any of his wishes come true?
He must immediately find the false part in his memory, otherwise, the sacred tree will come to him to collect the "price".
Of course, as he said himself, there is no need for him to suffer from cognitive distortion. As long as he uses his own curse power to directly suppress the piracy curse of the sacred tree, everything will be solved.
But Yu Xing just wanted to have fun in a boring night.
Moreover, Qianjie's cognitive ability will have to be faced when entering Yin Yang City, so let's give it a try.
Memories were quickly filtered out of Yu Xing's mind, focusing on the emotional aspects.
Hmm... He does have a good impression of some people, but the memories of every time they get together are consistent and should not be distorted.
He is single.
He has no marriage partner.
He doesn't have a kid or a mother he has to take responsibility for.
Um……
In this way, in his memory, his life is as happy as ever, his teammates are all his friends, his scripts are bought and made into movies, his paintings are worth a lot of money, his sculptures are full of agility, and his life is as free as
flying birds.
etc.
What about his hatred?
Yu Xing's temples jumped, and within five seconds of being addicted, he found the point of contradiction.
wrong.
He is not a happy man.
He can only avoid hurting his teammates by controlling himself. His script is to achieve the goal of getting closer to the investigation target. His paintings are dark and grotesque, and his sculptures are shattered by every dangerous and sad memory.
His life was blessed with "eternal life".
Struggling like a prisoner.
False memories were full of flaws, and Yu Xing opened his eyes in the dark night.
In the shadows, it seemed as if a snake's shadow suddenly jumped out and hid itself.
It turns out that cognitive distortion likes to completely change a person, and will also find a tricky angle to avoid the defense of the target's brain after the target becomes defensive.
understood.
Fortunately, Yu has gained knowledge.
The goal has been achieved, and the "price" has not had time to be collected from him, and it has been directly invalidated from the destruction of the "wishes".
The hidden shadow is about to leave, the silent black color is like a snake and a twisted braid.
Yu Xing rolled his eyes leisurely, and black lines suddenly appeared.
A voice with a smile sounded faintly: "Don't leave once you're here, little braided girl."
