Chapter 175 Alice Hell (8) Dinner

Chapter 175 Alice's Hell (8) - Dinner

This request surprised Yi Qing a little. He asked, "Oh? Why?"

Yu Xing handed the small wooden box over. Yi Qing took it with his hands, picked it up and looked at it for a while: "What are you planning?"

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Nothing, just put it there. Wait until Zeng Lai leaves before putting it there. Don't let him see it."

Obviously, Yu Xing had his own plans. She Qinggui was happy to watch the fun and nodded in agreement. It was not until a few minutes later that Yu Xing opened the door and Zeng Lai left that Yi Qing floated out of the window.

In the eyes of others, his current state was just a wisp of green smoke wrapped around a vague object. Nothing could be seen clearly. After floating out of Yu Xing's room, the green smoke squeezed into the gap of the window closed by the gambler Zeng Lai, and the small wooden box was transported in as if it had no substance.

After entering, Yiqing looked at the layout of Zeng Lai's room. This bedroom was no different from Yu Xing's bedroom. He wandered around for a while and put the box on the top of the wardrobe, which was not easy to reach, at the innermost place.

At this location, normal people can't touch it even if they stand on tiptoe and stretch their hands. It is a convenience for Yiqing as a ghost.

After putting the box away, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he floated in the room for a while, trying to find out if the gambler had left any interesting things.

The result disappointed Yiqing very much. There was nothing in the whole room that did not belong to Alice Castle.

"Humph... As expected, Yu Xing is the most interesting person. Others are too boring. Not good." Muttering, Yiqing left Zeng Lai's room and chased after Yu Xing.

He followed the induction with [Sheqing Dream] and chased all the way to the hall.

Yu Xing and Zeng Lai walked, much slower than Yiqing. At this time, as soon as he stepped into the hall, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing, and a cool breeze penetrated the hem of his clothes and hovered near the dagger buckled on his belt.

He knew Yiqing was back. With such a convenient and easy-to-use plug-in, his action plan would be much easier.

Zeng Lai seemed to have some feelings. He looked to the side, but didn't find anything, so he gave up.

After silently praising Sheqing Gui, Yu Xing continued what he had just said to Zeng Lai: "The staircase leading to the third floor is the second from the left. Let's go up the first one and take a look."

"I think it's okay. It doesn't matter which of the remaining three stairs we choose. We just take a general look and don't take a detailed look." Zeng Lai agreed.

Yu Xing returned to the first area he arrived at after entering the castle. At this time, the lobby on the first floor was very quiet. There was no one except them. Only the butler in a tuxedo stood next to the golden bell, looking straight ahead, as if he didn't notice the two people coming up and down the stairs.

The long table was no different from before. The chairs were lonely and placed in their original places. The crystal chandelier lit up with just enough light to see things, making the luxurious lobby look not so bright.

Zeng Lai suddenly stopped Yu Xing and said, "Hey, wait a minute, I'll go talk to the housekeeper."

The housekeeper and the nun guide are like NPCs in the game. Since they can advance the process and have their own roles, they may reveal some information.

As an experienced righteous line deduceor, Zeng Lai is best at finding ways to pass the level and strategies.

He walked to the housekeeper in two or three steps. At this time, the housekeeper finally responded, bowed slightly, and said politely: "Hello, dear tourist, how can I help you?"

"Housekeeper, I want to ask, can we take dinner to the room?"

The housekeeper replied expressionlessly: "No, Alice doesn't like tourists who don't fit in, and doing so will miss Alice's speech. She hates others ignoring her the most."

Yu Xing slowly followed Zeng Lai's steps, and then leaned on the golden bell to listen.

Zeng Lai asked again: "Then...besides the scheduled meal time, do we have snacks, afternoon tea, etc.?"

Butler: "No, meals are only a free service of the Alice Castle theme ride, not including afternoon tea."

Zeng Lai: "Can I go to the kitchen to get some water if I'm thirsty?"

Butler: "...probably not."

"This is not okay, that is not okay, your amusement park service ability is too poor." Zeng Lai was unhappy.

Butler: "..."

Zeng Lai crossed his arms and raised his voice: "Hey, I have to give some advice to your Alice, where is she?"

Yu Xing listened to the key questions with interest, looking forward to the butler's answer.

"Alice will appear in the hall before every meal, you can give your opinions at that time." The butler was not panicked at all, and said slowly, "Or at night, when Alice is wandering in the castle, you can also find her."

"I want to give my opinions now! Now!" Zeng Lai played the role of a unreasonable guy, forcing the butler to tell Alice's residence.

There is no reason for Alice not to live in the castle. If you know her location, you can find a way to find out her movements. Whether it is to find clues or avoid Alice in the ghost camp at night, it will be much easier.

The butler glanced at him, his eyes were cold and chilling.

"Please understand our work. If you are dissatisfied with the service of Alice Castle Theme Park, please give us feedback after the two-day experience. If you have a strong intention to complain at this time, you should be able to add an extra dish to dinner tonight."

The threat in the words is self-evident. I don’t know if the butler is scaring people or saying that this is the rule. If Zeng Lai asks about Alice’s location again, the butler seems to be going to attack Zeng Lai.

Zeng Lai shut up: "Then give us feedback after the experience is over."

He turned away angrily and walked towards the first staircase on the left.

After he left, the housekeeper returned to his expressionless work state and looked at Yu Xing: "Does this tourist have anything else to do? You can come to me if there are any problems such as damaged room facilities or injuries."

Yu Xing stood up from the golden bell, waved his hand, and smiled perfunctorily: "Not for now, keep working hard."

After that, he followed Zeng Lai.

The left staircase is not long, winding upwards, and it seems to lead to the second floor. After Yu Xing went up, he saw Zeng Lai waiting for him at the staircase on the second floor.

"What is the conclusion of the test?" He walked forward and asked casually.

Zeng Lai chuckled: "It's OK. At least we know that the staff can attack us if they are irritated. Also, the time and eating are strictly controlled. There must be some reason. We must pay attention to it in the future."

Yu Xing added: "Well, the tour guide said that Alice will wear a bell at night, which belongs to the ghost camp. Let's see how Alice treats us in normal times. If there are traces of reaction, it means that this deduction should have a plot, not just the surface prescribed game content."

"That's right!" Zeng Lai is getting more and more satisfied with Yu Xing. With this logical thinking, at least it proves that Xing has strength, and not just relying on others to rise.

He had only heard Ren Yi mention Xing before. Because Xing was obviously not on the right line and could not enter their guild, he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he personally contacted her, he felt that Ren Yi's evaluation was not exaggerated.

The space on the second floor is generally relatively empty, mostly functional rooms, such as toilets, gyms, utility rooms, control rooms, etc.

These rooms are piled up in the same corridor, which seems a bit irregular. The two opened a few doors and retreated, and went up two other stairs through the hall to check.

The third staircase leads to the fourth floor, which leads directly to a vast library with too many books. Yu Xing is sure that some key information must be hidden in it, but it is not within the scope of exploration for the time being.

The fourth staircase leads to the fifth floor, but the entrance is blocked by a rusty iron door. When he pushed the door, he was also prompted that he lacked a key and could not break it violently.

In other words, the lobby on the first floor connects the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors at the same time. Putting aside the fact that the door on the fifth floor cannot be opened, Yu Xing discovered that there are actually very few ways to other places on the first floor.

Until now, the only area on the first floor he has seen other than the lobby is the weird sculpture hall outside the bedroom window, and the atmosphere is indescribably uncomfortable.

The first and fifth floors are the two floors he thinks are the strangest.

When he walked back from the iron door on the fifth floor and returned to the lobby again, the other deducers had already arrived. In fact, not long after Yu Xing and Zeng Lai arrived at the lobby, other people came in one after another and did similar things as them.

At this moment, the deducers have not yet taken their seats, and are wandering around the hall. Yu Xing relieved the chest tightness caused by climbing the stairs continuously and looked at the golden clock.

This exquisite dark golden clock is heavy and gorgeous, and the pointer points to 18:25.

Dinner is about to begin.

The lights in the hall are still ambiguous, at a critical point between transparency and obscurity. Things that are a little farther away are blurry, which makes the deducers who know that they are in a dangerous absurdity feel a little uneasy.

"You are here." Hysterical waved his hand, walked over slowly, glanced at the two of them, and his voice was a little melancholy, "Why don't you take me with you when you go to explore? I just acted alone..."

"Hahaha, I'm actually more used to acting alone. Isn't it because Xiaoxing is too new, so I took him in." Zeng Lai is indeed rough but delicate, and his words are flawless, perfectly blocking Hysterical's possible requests later.

"Well, the seniors can survive alone, so I can only cling to the thigh of the gambler senior." When Yu Xing said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. He was as sincere as he could be.

Hysteria had to laugh twice: "Okay, I hope that when I am in danger, you can save me. Thank you very much."

Zeng Lai patted his shoulder: "I will definitely save you when I see you, hehe, as long as you are not an opponent."

Yu Xing always felt that Zeng Lai had an inexplicable hostility towards Hysteria, and hinted that Hysteria seemed to have bad intentions.

Although from the name, Hysteria does not look like a good person, but the name of Gambler does not look like a righteous line deducer, right? Judging a person by his name is not something that the experienced Zeng Lai would do.

So, Hysteria must have been seen by Zeng Lai.

Yu Xing's eyes behind the mask showed a hint of interest in watching the fun. No matter what Hysteria's attitude was, it was basically certain that it was against the gambler, and he only had two things to do-complete the deduction and kill Han Xinyi and Han Zhiyong.

He asked Qu Xianqing, what would happen in reality if he died in the simulation?

Qu Xianqing's answer at the time was that he would not die immediately, but would die in a reasonable way, such as suicide or accident, because of the shattering of the personality mask and all his abilities would disappear.

He could only protect Yu Jiaming and Gao Changan by letting the two murderers die in the simulation, so that these two sharp criminal police would not die in the frustration of unequal strength.

Thinking of this, Yu Xing's eyes shifted and looked at Han Xinyi in the corner.

Han Xinyi stood there alone, looking a little lonely. Han Zhiyong actually separated from her and stood on the other side.

At this time, she was looking at a stone sculpture with a human body and a snake tail in the hall, keeping a distance from everyone else, and not looking at Yu Xing, wondering what she was thinking.

After Yu Xing confirmed that Han Xinyi was the murderer of the throat-cutting case and a member of the Single Prism, she went to find videos related to her.

However, her information was too clean, and even if Qu Xianqing was asked to check together, no useful video information could be found. First of all, she herself had never uploaded any paid videos, and even in other people's videos, she was just a passerby character.

These videos have one thing in common... At the beginning, Han Xinyi always quickly found a teammate, and then separated from the main force, but in the end, that teammate never survived.

This is extremely consistent with the characteristics of the Single Prism members who are good at hiding themselves, but this kind of hiding is harmful to other people's lives.

"If I wasn't there, her deduction style should be to pretend to be weak and deceive others' trust, and finally kill the deduction teammates who left her traces to prevent related videos from being leaked. However, this time there is someone who can expose her tricks. In order to continue not to be exposed to others, she can only achieve this by being taciturn and alienated from the group." Yu Xing thought to herself, and then followed Han Xinyi's line of sight to look at the stone sculpture.

This is a man with a human body and a snake tail. His upper body is naked, and the scales on his lower body are carved lifelike. The statue is the same height as humans, but there is a platform about half a meter under the tail, which causes humans to look up to see it.

"Please take a seat and prepare to eat."

Just as Yu Xing's face became increasingly strange, the butler walked past the golden bell and came to the dining table, announcing to the deducers who were not in the mood to eat because they were about to see the legendary Alice.

Yu Xing came back to his senses, took a closer look at the statue, and then walked to the long table with Zeng Lai and Hysteria.

Others also came over. There were eighteen seats on both sides of the long table, so there was a wide range of choices. No one sat near the head seat, because it was obvious that the head seat belonged to Alice.

Alice was the big boss of deduction, so who would want to sit with the boss?

Yu Xing was the same. He chose a seat on the right side, far away from Alice.

If it was another boss, he would definitely be happy to sit near Alice to make trouble, but he couldn't let Alice find out his identity now.

The gambler sat next to him, and Hysteria sat on the other side of the gambler, one seat away.

When Yu Xing sat down, Han Xinyi smiled and sat next to him.

"Let's eat together, Xing~"

The girl's sweet voice made everyone look over. Yu Xing calmly turned his head to look at her and smiled, "Of course, this is your freedom."

"Dong-"

"Dong-"

"Dong-"

At this moment, the golden clock hand pointed to half past eighteen and rang solemnly.

At the same time, the chandelier on the ceiling went out without any warning!

The entire hall was suddenly pitch dark. Yu Xing heard someone seemed to be startled and couldn't help but let out a half-scream, and then stopped immediately.

"Gululu..."

In the darkness, there was the sound of wheels rolling.
