After the cat got angry, it would usually pop out its claws and scratch people.

Just like that, Yu Xing was caught off guard and played by the cat. The cat's fur stood on end as it agilely jumped back onto Yu Xing's leg. The pads on its paws took two steps on his jeans before pushing forward.

Yu Xing watched as the black cat almost jumped onto a sensitive area that he couldn't casually touch. Ignoring the increasingly intense black aura emanating from its eyes and body, he reached out and grabbed the back of the cat's neck, throwing it casually towards the witch: "It's not afraid of me. But with such a fierce ability, why did it transform into such a useless form?"

"I don't know." The witch caught the cat and agreed with Yu Xing's description of the black cat's abilities.

Indeed, misfortune possessed a fierce power.

She smoothed the cat's fur and her eyes flickered: "Why a cat? Perhaps its owner would know."

"Aren't you its owner?" Yu Xing glanced at the witch casually, completely ignoring her beauty. "Forget it, I don't care. Ask your three questions."

"Alright, I'll start." The witch placed her hand on the rotating star track and stared at Yu Xing. "First question."

"Do you remember how old you are?"

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow, smiling ambiguously. "Of course I do."

The witch continued, "Second question, can you still feel the despair of being deceived 'back then' when you think about it now?"

"I remember." Yu Xing crossed his legs.

"Third question. How many years have passed since you decided to seek revenge until now?"

Yu Xing tilted his head and thought, "It should be... seventy years."

"...So you're an old monster." The witch said seriously.

"Yeah, much older than you~" Yu Xing smiled brightly. "Come on, call me ancestor~"

"Witch: Ancestor."

Yu Xing: This child is so honest.

...

After a short conversation with the witch, Yu Xing walked out of the inner room, followed by the witch.

"You have completed this project." The witch nodded to the two people waiting on the sofa. "The clue is that the murderer was not present when the body was found in reality."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jue was the happiest.

Because he had already explained that he was next to the sports equipment room at that time, so he definitely counted as someone present.

At least now, his suspicion as the murderer was completely eliminated.

Zhao Yijiu's expression remained unchanged. This clue... was useless to him.

Yu Xing, on the other hand, felt bored.

Even though he was a suspect, his perspective was not as broad as the detective's or the killer's. But with these three clues, he was almost close to achieving his victory condition.

After releasing the clues, the witch added, "You all respect time, so I am willing to give you some small gifts in my personal capacity."

Under the gaze of the three, she walked confidently to the display table, touching the edge of the table with her fingers. "You can each choose one thing from here."

Perhaps Zhao Yijiu's indifference was too obvious, so the witch added, "They are not completely useless."

Hearing this, Yu Xing leaned over and picked up a black pen with a blue bird engraved on the black shaft and a white wolf hair brush at the end.

"I like this one." As soon as he finished speaking, the witch took the brush from his hand and carefully placed it in a black gift box that appeared out of nowhere, then handed it to him with a serious expression.

"Gifts should be properly packaged."

"Oh, you're quite filial." Yu Xing muttered.

Zhao Yijiu looked at him, making sure he didn't mishear. Did he just say "filial"?

He shook his head and casually picked up an ordinary-looking black pearl. Wang Jue chose a small model of a big clock. The witch wrapped them both nicely.

As they walked out of the Time Cabin with their small gifts, they took a few steps and turned back to find that the entire cabin had disappeared from where it was, as if it had never appeared before.

"Wow, so magical. This project turned out to be so easy." Wang Jue patted his chest, feeling relieved, then became happy. "We're lucky!"

"Is that so?" Yu Xing looked around, yawning. "I lied."

Zhao Yijiu: ?

"In the three questions, I lied about one of them." Yu Xing said matter-of-factly, which took Wang Jue a while to confirm that Yu Xing meant he would be plagued by misfortune, not that breakfast was really delicious.

"Then..."

"So let's split up. If you stay with me, you might be implicated. Well... neither of you are the people I'm looking for. We've wasted enough time, I'm going to find those three." Yu Xing turned around with his hands in his pockets and smiled at Zhao Yijiu and Wang Jue, his tone more of an announcement than a discussion.

"Goodbye~"

"Then you are...!" Wang Jue stared at his unrelenting figure, a sentence stuck in his throat.

Feeling uncomfortable for a moment, he realized that Zhao Yijiu was still beside him. So he decisively changed his target and directed his longing gaze at Zhao Yijiu. "Then he must be the detective, right!"

Zhao Yijiu nodded.

Wang Jue felt affirmed and said to himself, "Among the murderer, the victim, and the detective, only the latter doesn't need to care if others have guessed his identity. If he is the detective, then neither of us can be the murderer. But I'm curious, who is the victim?"His gaze shifted to Zhao Yijiu: "The detective has been with you from the beginning. I don't think you are the victim's card. Otherwise, the killer who knows the detective's identity will definitely notice you. Yu Xing shouldn't be that foolish."

Zhao Yijiu nodded again.

"For the protection of the victim, the detective won't directly mention the victim's name. Even if everyone knows who the victim is, protecting the victim will make the identity known to three or more people, and the game will ultimately fail. Well... our best choice is to find out the identities of the detective and the killer. This way, we can punish the killer without harming the victim." Wang Jue's eyes sparkled.

Zhao Yijiu nodded once again.

The young man arranged his identity by himself. What else does he need to say?

"So what do we do now?" Wang Jue asked.

"Since Yu Xing is the detective, it is risky for him to go and find those three people. If the killer finds an opportunity to kill him, they will directly obtain the victim's identity. We should gather the four clues that need to be completed. If he is still alive at that time, we can go find him." Zhao Yijiu finally spoke, then walked in the opposite direction.

What he didn't see was that as he turned around, Wang Jue's expression became much colder, and he glanced in the direction Yu Xing had left.

"Am I really that easy to deceive?" Wang Jue murmured silently, his smile appearing, and he followed.

...

Yu Xing walked towards the direction of the big revolving chair, hoping to encounter the other three.

Among the information he currently obtained, the closed projects were:

Bungee jumping, with himself and Zhao Yijiu as participants.

Claw machine, with Wang Jue added on top of the bungee jumping.

Time cabin, same as above.

Carousel, with Wang Jue and Xie Ze.

Ferris wheel, with Ling Heng and Chen Jiu.

Big revolving chair, with Ling Heng, Chen Jiu, and Xie Ze.

When they entered the time cabin, the other three must have also entered another project. In other words, there should only be five open projects left in the amusement park.

He walked through half of the park, and Alice's face was everywhere, even on the sign of the public restroom.

When passing through Alice Square in the center, Yu Xing looked up at the time.

1:20.

In other words, it had been one hour and twenty minutes since the game officially started and entered the four-hour period to find identities and complete tasks.

He pondered for a moment, feeling no sense of urgency at all. He walked for a while, rested for a while, and finally encountered Ling Heng, Chen Jiu, and Xie Ze coming down from the roller coaster.

So the roller coaster had also been closed, and the remaining projects were the mirror house, specter, spinning coffee chair, bumper cars, and children's playground.

However... he raised an eyebrow. The three of them seemed to have unpleasant expressions~

Seeing the three of them standing together with their hands on their hips from a distance, Yu Xing found it amusing and walked over. When he realized someone was coming, he saw Xie Ze glance at him with a pale face and couldn't help but say, "Damn it..."

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow. "Damn it?"

I just arrived, did I do something wrong for you to say that?

Chen Jiu also glanced at him, eager to try. "Damn it..."

Ling Heng frowned and coughed as a warning.

Chen Jiu immediately changed his words. "He... tomato."

"Tomato my ass, I'm still a potato." Ling Heng breathed evenly, reaching out to tap Chen Jiu's head. Yu Xing could tell that something was off with his breath, as if some internal organ was injured. "Didn't I tell you that it's not good to curse?"

"I didn't curse, I stopped myself." Chen Jiu emphasized, covering his head with one hand, while blood continued to flow from his other arm.

Ling Heng shook his head helplessly, then apologized to Yu Xing with a hint of guilt. "Sorry, are you a bit confused?"

"Yeah, I'm eating dog food while being confused." Yu Xing nodded with certainty.

Chen Jiu said, "Ah, this."

Next, Ling Heng explained to Yu Xing what had happened.

When the three of them got off the big revolving chair, Ling Heng and Xie Ze had something in their stomachs that constantly disturbed them, some kind of specter.

Their condition had declined, and they originally wanted to play the spinning coffee chair, but it required four people to start, while the mirror house required two people. They had just sent Wang Jue to Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu's side, so they couldn't gather enough people.

Ling Heng and Chen Jiu also didn't feel good about driving Xie Ze away again. Their temper as a couple was quite good, so the nearest project to them became the roller coaster.

Then another problem arose—Xie Ze was afraid of heights.

At this moment, Xie Ze really missed Wang Jue. If Wang Jue was here, he wouldn't have to experience this kind of project... So when he saw Yu Xing coming after finishing the roller coaster, Xie Ze couldn't help but curse.

He wasn't targeting anyone, maybe... he was targeting himself.

And the reason for the bad expressions of the couple was that Chen Jiu was injured on the roller coaster and couldn't lift his right arm now.

Naturally, they wouldn't share the clues, and they had doubts about Yu Xing's arrival.

Yu Xing forced a smile. "Among the clues I obtained, there is one about the killer. I feel that I can't exclude Zhao Yijiu as a suspect. He is usually cold at work, and I have always been a little afraid of him."

Seeing the change in the three people's expressions, Yu Xing hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm not saying he is the killer. I just can't rule out his suspicion, and it makes me uncomfortable. So, I came to find you and see how things are on your side.""Sure, now that you're here, we can go to the coffee chairs." Xie Ze clutched his stomach, looking like he was about to vomit. He wanted to say something else, but in the end, he waved his hand, "...Sorry, I feel nauseous, I need to find a place to throw up."

With that, he ran into the bushes.

"He looks so pitiful." Chen Jiu sighed.

Ling Heng immediately responded, "I also have something in my stomach, am I not pitiful?"

Yu Xing glanced at them.

A minute later, Xie Ze returned, tidying up his appearance as he walked. He looked much weaker than before.

The coffee chairs were close to the mirror house, almost next to each other. When the four of them headed to the coffee chairs, they didn't discuss what the next activity would be.

It seemed that they all wanted to pretend to be the suspects who needed four clues.

The sign for the coffee chairs was nothing special. It mentioned that if they spun in pairs for five minutes, they could get a clue. It required four people to start.

When they were dividing into groups, Xie Ze grabbed Yu Xing's arm and looked at Chen Jiu and Ling Heng, who were sticking together the whole time, with an exaggerated "Damn, why are there couples in this deduction game" expression. He then looked at Yu Xing, his expression full of resentment.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

"Alright, I get it." Yu Xing willingly sat in the same coffee chair as Xie Ze.

The atmosphere at the coffee chairs was quite romantic. The macaron-colored decorations were the only pure land in the entire amusement park. Alice's avatar was only printed on the sign.

The coffee chairs were shaped like large cups, and the seats inside were cushioned. As soon as Yu Xing sat down, he felt so comfortable that he wanted to doze off.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to be able to doze off at this moment. He watched as the facility slowly started up, and the coffee chairs began to rotate at a comfortable speed.

Danger could strike at any moment.

"Wow, this is the first time I've found a deduction game to be so fun. It feels like a paid vacation." A few seconds later, Chen Jiu's joyful voice came from the cup next door.

"Be careful, don't get hurt again." Ling Heng advised with concern.

Yu Xing's ears twitched, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Xie Ze was very close to Yu Xing. He rubbed his stomach and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Yu Xing asked cheerfully, "I guess you must have a girlfriend, just can't see her during the deduction game, it's not that serious."

Xie Ze ruffled his hair, looking distressed: "I did have one, but not anymore. She complained that I was too busy with work and didn't spend time with her, so she broke up with me."

Yu Xing: "And you agreed?"

"Of course I didn't want to agree, we've been together for several years. But she was very persistent, so I..." Xie Ze looked like he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

But Yu Xing wasn't that kind. After hearing Xie Ze's answer, his smile grew brighter.

Lowering his voice, he leaned into Xie Ze's ear, his rising tone filled with an ambiguous danger: "So, did you kill her?"
