The team was lucky. The rain stopped for almost an hour after it rained. The dark clouds scattered, revealing the bright and miserable white sky.
They can set out now.
During this period, Yu Xing accepted the information about the tomb palace and understood it. His doubts were solved and new problems were added.
That is the sense of incongruity that he can feel at any time. Now he can basically be sure that he must have forgotten something. What place can he have experienced some things after entering the mountain, and then forget it?
It was only the time I was lying in the coffin.
Although Carlos said he only went in for three minutes, it was not uncommon to vague the speed of time. Yu Xing had encountered it many times after becoming a deducer.
Yu Xing kept a secret, which could make him change his memory without any awareness. This kind of power must be very strong, and nothing happened to him now, nor did he feel malice, which means that this should be a kind of "plot need".
After all, deduction games are games. Even if NPCs are free in investigators' analogy, they are still people in the game - they can be replaced by deductions at will, and even if the world runs independently, Yu Xing does not think it is true.
Speaking of which, Yu Xing had met other real-world people before, such as Ning Feng. He has not yet contacted the abnormal research group in the personality mask template, so he is not sure what system Ning Feng belongs to.
But since his own school participated in the deduction, Yu Xinggu believed that the other party's world was a place of the same level as the world he was in, and could be called "real".
In short - in this deduction world, everything seems to be moving towards the future randomly, but Yu Xing thinks that this is just the established route is too large, resulting in no sense of coercion.
His memory should be missing in a certain way, and this belongs to the "plot", so he doesn't need to worry too much.
The team was about to set off, and Yu Xing stopped Carlos: "Where is the painting hidden?"
When Carlos heard that Yu Xing was still thinking about the painting, he pointed helplessly at the back of the tablet: "I am afraid that it will be folded and wrinkled, so I will roll it up and stuff it into the wooden box. How about it? Is the treatment good enough?"
"It's pretty good." Yu Xing nodded with satisfaction and happily packed up his painting tube.
In this case, later generations come to admire the name of the demon Tao, but they can find a painting belonging to the terrifying painter San here. This is just like the world discovering a smartphone in Sanxingdui that can also display contacts. The number on it will definitely become famous.
Even if it is not made public, some people will secretly notice him, which will affect his experience of the role... Yu Xing has discovered a preview technique for investigators to deduce. As long as he leaves clues himself, the next time he comes in, the deduction content will most likely be related to the clues left behind, and it will more or less play a prophetic role.
Familiar characters and environments can greatly improve the survival rate.
Yu Xing threw away some unused things, replaced them with items assigned by the new team, and then stepped out of the ancestral hall with the team members and headed back.
I want to go back to Living Tail Lake, and I have to pass by the bird corpse forest in the middle, and the corpse pit that even Yu Xing can't stand.
Ping An, Yu Xing, Carlos and Lin were all paying attention to whether the thing that had been infiltrated appeared. Lin was holding a wooden compass in his hand, walking in the middle of the team, muttering something in his mouth.
But no one can understand or hear clearly.
When they walked to the bird corpse forest, the wind brought the smell of rottenness. Yu Xing began to dislike him and his pace slowed down, as if there was a shit pit ahead.
"What's your expression?" Carlos was funny. He put black leather gloves on both hands and inserted them into his jacket pocket. He knocked Yu Xing teasingly with his elbow, "Cleanness? Or..."
"Don't you think it smells bad?" Yu Xing's dislike was almost overflowing. There were many people next to him listening. He held the strap with his backpack and expressed his distress. "Maybe a big guy like you has developed the ability to ignore the environment. I am different. I have been spoiled since I was a child and can't smell this."
San is indeed spoiled, and the setting is the child of a wealthy family born with a golden key in his hand.
Ash came over and said, "San, is your family rich?"
"It's just so rich that a few brothers dislike each other, thinking about hindering each other at any time, and wanting the old man to return to the west as soon as possible to compete for family property as soon as possible." Yu Xing put on a newly obtained mask while speaking, and isolated most of the scent.
"Wow!" Ash's eyes lit up, "You know, I'm not good at Chinese. If I understand correctly, you should be richer than the nobles in my hometown!"
"A great country, there are many wealthy people." Unika is very proud, just like her own country. "Ash, if you are interested in your own country's history, maybe you can come to me and I can help you get to know it well. Trust me, when you understand, you will fall in love with this place."
Yu Xing glanced at her quietly. To him, NPC began to issue prompts.
If you want to know the history of the Demonic Period, you can find the historian Unika.
Ash thanked Unika, then continued to look at Yu Xing with admiration: "You are so rich, why do you come to do such a dangerous business?"
Everyone except Carlos pricked their ears, which was what they wanted to know.
Yu Xing immediately realized that Ash seemed to be chatting, but in fact he was already leveraging his identity information. He could also judge how much he could trust based on the motivation he said.
He shook his head politely, and then sighed deeply: "That money belongs to my family, not mine. I am just one of many children. I have little hope to inherit even one-tenth of the family business, because the family will eventually choose a pillar to inherit most of the industry. As for others, it is already very good not to be killed or expelled."
"I came to rob the tomb because another team leader invited me to join me before. I was not very interested in money, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make some achievements so that my elders could see me, so I agreed."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! This reason is simply easy to write, and it is reasonable and difficult to verify.
"You are so powerful and famous, your elders are not satisfied?" Lin had already put away the compass and inserted a sentence in. Because he usually speaks stiffly, he sounds like he is questioning now.
But in fact, he didn't mean that. When Yu Xing looked at him, Lin Wei shook his head slightly, indicating that there were no ghosts following him now.
He would ask such questions purely because he saw Yu Xing's painting skills last night and was puzzled by such a strong painter not being recognized by his family.
"Painting is not worth mentioning to them. After all, I am just a painter who is popular in a niche circle and is far from reaching the level of a well-known painter in the world. The value of a painting can create is very limited, far less than that of my brothers who can make money in business." Yu Xing felt very aggrieved. When talking about his family's affairs, his fingers and knuckles turned white, as if he was bullied and endured.
"They don't like painting. I just thought about whether I could use this opportunity to integrate into the tomb robbery circle and have the ability to steal treasures from corpses and ghosts. It is also a kind of ability. If I could often bring supplies to the antique business at home, the elders would believe in my ability and courage."
Yu Xing took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Forget it... It's useless to say this now. I can't finish these slutty habits in a while, but I will overcome them slowly. I just need to wear this mask in the Bird Corpse Forest. Let's go."
Carlos's forehead twitched and despised this guy who showed off his wealth first and then showed weakness.
Yu Xing himself exposed his family affairs, and in the end, not only did the team members not feel the burden of the rich children, but also made them praise his enlightenment. It really guides people's hearts!
Mr. Magician really hopes that San will abandon his brush and learn the simplest card magic from him.
Maybe it will be popular.
Yu Xing didn't know how Carlos complained about him in his heart. In fact, a large part of what he said just now was nonsense. He made up all kinds of things based on the background when he created the character.
He didn't even know what the painter San's family did, and he was definitely not as rich as Ash said.
But the danger in his family must be greater than that in the Demon Dao Tomb Palace. The two are in different directions of danger. The tomb Palace is large and is enough to devour all living people who come here but are not careful enough. He is just one of them.
In the deduction of the Tomb Palace, if you have strong teammates, you can survive without being too strong.
But the weirdness that San's family must be small and targeted at this family. It is highly targeted and no one can escape. For the deducer, the latter is even more terrible - the boss of the investigation studio whom he had never met also said that if he made great contributions this time, he would help him handle the family affairs.
It shows that the boss thinks he can survive in the tomb palace, but he doesn't think he can handle the family. This is also proof of the horror of San's family.
The group chatted, and the smell of rot in the air became heavier and heavier. When the naked eye could see the bird corpses hanging on the tall trees, several people had already put on masks.
As soon as the rain came, not only did not wash away the rotten smell nearby, but it also became even worse.
Yu Xing suddenly felt a little strange. When he came, he only smelled a little fishy smell after entering the forest. Why did he smell it from a distance when he left?
Even if it is the wind direction, it will not be so outrageous, and something has changed quietly.
All these fragmented abnormalities were accumulated in his mind, and the team continued to move forward, and Shijiu suddenly stopped.
Shijiu urgently asked everyone not to move, and squinted his eyes and looked at the entrance of the corpse forest.
"What is that?"
Ash subconsciously answered: "What is what... Oh, God."
Everyone had no bad eyesight. After getting the prompt, they took a closer look and took a breath.
I was far away and hadn't found it. Now that I walked in, I saw a corpse that was much larger than a bird corpse hanging on the trees near the entrance of the corpse forest.
The corpse was bare with his feet and his limbs were weak. They were all wearing white mourning clothes, their hair was disguised to cover their appearance, swaying with the wind, like a bell.
It was a human corpse, both men and women, with hair that stretched to the chest and abdomen.
The human corpses were densely hung in a row, floating in the wind, as if they were doing a display, and an ominous premonition enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Grass, this beast is not satisfied with hanging bird corpses, so it's been changed to hanging people!" Mr. Li likes to speak loudly. Judging from his first reaction, he has actually seen hunchbacked people who like hanging bird corpses.
But then, everyone, including Mr. Li, was stunned for a moment.
Carlos slowly turned his head and asked Yu Xing: "Where were these corpses when you came before?"
Yu Xing was sure that there were only bird corpses here before, and no human corpses, because he had been walking in the forest for a long time in order to find a place for the hunchbacked man.
His eyes exposed outside were filled with confusion and shock, and he said nervously: "No, no, this is the body that appeared after I left."
But the problem is!
Shijiu's knife was pulled out and she looked around vigilantly.
The problem is - the hunchbacked man with the corpse is dead.
He was bitten in half by the fish monster and threw it into the underworld. The hunchbacked man could not be resurrected so quickly, because it resurrected by the black coffin, and they stayed in the ancestral hall all night, and nothing had come out of the black coffin!
What is it...
In addition to the hunchbacked people, there are other wise humanoid creatures hidden in this forest?
Carlos asked, "Who are those corpses? Are there any other team?"
No one answered him because no one was sure.
Lin immediately thought, could this be made by the ghost thing mixed among them? He immediately took out the compass again and recited the Feng Shui mantras passed down from home.
The storm in his eyes began to change. Others knew that he was looking for the reason and did not dare to disturb him. They took out weapons to warn him. Only Will hesitated for a moment and took out a folded metal plate.
Will unfolded the metal plate. This turned out to be a very exquisite psychic board with white characters on black and white, with gold-toned patterns on it embellished with mystery and nobility. There are twenty-six letters and numbers 0-9, and some symbols used to communicate with the dead that no one except the psychics can understand.
He took out the supporting tools, spread them on a barely dry land with a disposable mat, sat cross-legged, and placed the psychic board on his knees.
Will began to divine.
His choice of the psychic board as a divination tool means that he intends to communicate with the soul here. Just so there are many corpses here, the psychic board is a very useful and direct way.
Lin and Will both began to take it seriously. Carlos touched his chin and turned to whisper to Yu Xing: "Look at the corpses, are there people in the team you used to be in the team? If you can't see your face, just look at your figure."
"It seems... no." Yu Xing saw clearly that the people in Brother Sun's team were all burly, but the corpses hanging on the trees were fat and thin, but they were not strong.
This is indeed not like the hunchbacked man's work. He will not specifically change into a shroud before hiding others.
Suddenly, Yu Xing tilted his head and smiled in his voice: "I suddenly remembered the previous newcomer competition. Do you think there is anything familiar when counting the number of corpses?"
Carlos recalled for a moment, then frowned and tickled.
Corpse, twelve.
Ten men and two women.
