【The following lists the information for this deduction game】
The deduction prompts on the panel continue to refresh, familiar deep red in color, with a font thicker than that of the previous Alice Park, more like semi-coagulated blood.
【Medium Deduction: Alice Park】
【Level: Struggle】
【Type: Comprehensive deduction game】
【Combat ratio 40%, role-playing ratio 40%, mapping ratio 20%】
【This deduction game is for eight players】
【Analysis: This deduction is the second generation of "Alice Park". The previous Alice Park opened the newly built park to six guilty or innocent visitors, but due to insufficient park planning at the time, it failed to bring the visitors the most perfect gaming experience. The park manager, Alice, who was deeply hurt, learned from the experience and re-planned the game projects. This time, she is full of confidence and is sure to make the visitors happy!】
【In order to reveal the most real side of the visitors, Alice prepared peripheral masks for them. She said, this is how humans are, when their identity is concealed, they can act recklessly and do evil!】
As the prompts appeared one by one, the scenery in front of Yu Xing changed, and he felt the surrounding air heating up. The torrential rain quietly evaporated in the heat, rising up in waves of white mist, making a sizzling sound.
In the mist, the world in his eyes changed quietly. A large fire ignited from the sky, and countless unextinguished sparks and ashes floated down from the sky, covering the ruins and debris.
Blood clouds, ash rain.
A burnt smell permeated the air, a bit choking.
Yu Xing coughed a few times, and the sudden apocalyptic scene was reflected in his black pupils. Not because his dark side was triggered, but purely because the scene was too shocking. In the face of such a miraculous backdrop, humans would feel as small as dust.
Everything burnt by the sparks was like the paper money burned for the deceased during the Qingming Festival, silently burning, curling and withering between light and darkness, all burned to ashes.
Fortunately, this terrifying heat and the spreading sparks did not directly reach him, as if there was an invisible wall of air that allowed him to see but not touch.
Of course, this was not real, because from the moment Yu Xing triggered the ruby, reality and absurdity were separated, and the current scene belonged to the absurd world, while the time of reality had stagnated.
Han Xinyi and Yu Jiaming's figures disappeared, and all that was visible was a red and gray color, which was seven points similar to the scene Yu Xing saw when he exited the Alice Park deduction game, but it was more broken and desolate.
【Alice has distributed entry tickets to the amusement park to the persona masks. Please put on the materialized masks and proceed for ticket inspection】
Yu Xing reached out, and the template for his persona mask condensed into a transparent mask shadow. The surrounding ashes gathered and adhered to it, solidifying the mask into a gray, slightly exaggerated smiling face mask.
The eyes of the mask were two crescent-shaped holes, not obstructing the line of sight, with a black teardrop pattern underneath the eyes, and the lips were bright red, making it as terrifying as some specters.
Yu Xing didn't mind, he found any style of existence interesting, and put it on directly.
Not only his face, but in a daze, he changed into a set of black clothes all over, with a hooded sweatshirt on top, printed with the words "Alice Hell Tour" on the chest, slightly tight pants, and a pair of black sneakers.
Not bad, although his body shape and hairstyle hadn't changed, this outfit was more convenient for movement, and also conducive to concealing and hiding his identity.
【Alice's reminder: You can take off the mask at any time after entering the park, but you may encounter unknown events~ Also, at certain times, not taking off the mask may also lead to unknown events~】
Isn't that just choosing whether to take off the mask based on the events... Yu Xing muttered.
The next moment, a gust of wind swept through, and the accumulated ashes on the ground rose lightly, obscuring the view. After the dust dissolved and disappeared in the air, the ruins had turned into a castle.
The black castle was Gothic in style, with connected walls and a strange and sharp beauty between the concave and convex areas. The entire castle was huge, although not particularly tall, it was impossible to tell how many floors it had at a glance.
The outer perimeter of the castle was surrounded by a circle of exquisitely made medieval iron railings, with blood-like roses and dark green vines climbing on them. Inside the railings was luxurious and magnificent, while outside the railings, where Yu Xing was standing now, there was only an endless expanse of sandy ground, desolate.
The sky suddenly turned pitch black, with no moon or stars, but a small area above the castle was surrounded by layers of burning red clouds, forming a precious and distorted light, which was currently the only source of light.
The red clouds emitted a fiery light, illuminating the castle and the surrounding sky. The brief white and the eternal black connected without any buffer, and in the middle of the burning red clouds, there was an eyeball larger than the castle embedded in the sky, overlooking the ground with a sense of oppression.Yu Xing sighed again. This was by far the most magnificent transition he had ever seen. It was truly a deduction at the differentiation level, and the stakes were high. If he hadn't lost everything he had on him, he would have taken out his phone and taken a picture to use as wallpaper.
And... it had been a while since he had seen Alice, and it seemed like her taste had improved a lot. Although a castle never looked like an amusement park, at least the grotesque Alice dolls were no longer visible everywhere. It was a cause for celebration.
At that moment, unfamiliar information flooded his mind. This time, it wasn't the system providing role-playing information in written form, but rather a more direct transfer of memories.
Yu Xing sorted through the extra information in his mind and gained an understanding of his "identity."
He and seven other people were a temporary tour group, all of whom had been lucky enough to win free admission to the "amusement park."
The winning notice stated that they could enjoy two days and two nights in the castle park for free, with meals and accommodations included. There was also a guide sent by the park to receive them at the park gate.
It was said that there would be various activities during the visit, as well as enticing mysterious rewards, which the visitors were looking forward to.
So, in a mix of nervousness and excitement, the eight lucky tourists arrived near the park in their own ways, and the deduction began from there.
Yu Xing regained his ability to move, adjusted his mask, pulled up the hood of his hoodie, and looked around.
The ashes had completely disappeared, and the sky had returned to calm, with no more falling sparks. This place had completely broken free from the framework of reality and belonged to an independent deduction scene.
He was now outside the castle, a distance away from the iron railing. At different points within his line of sight, there were several figures standing, all wearing the park tour hoodies. To his right was a woman with a ponytail, about 1.7 meters tall. When Yu Xing looked over, she seemed to have seen him and waved to him in a lively manner.
Yu Xing looked at the list of eight people involved in this deduction. There was no doubt that the Throat Cutter was Han Xinyi. If he guessed correctly, the Evil Ghost was probably Han Xinyi's uncle, Han Zhiyong.
Apart from these two, the rest were all unfamiliar names. He didn't know the proportions of the Righteous Path, the Differentiation Line, and the Fallen Line. In any case, in this deduction, he had to deal with Han Zhiyong and Han Xinyi as a newly promoted member of the Differentiation Line.
Yes, both of them were members of the Differentiation Line, but Han Xinyi was probably stronger than Han Zhiyong, and was the kind of person who could be promoted to the Mourning Level at any time - this was Qu Xianqing's judgment.
Qu Xianqing herself was a big shot who could be promoted to the Despair Level at any time, and Yu Xing trusted her judgment of others' abilities.

Of course, Qu Xianqing wasn't here this time, because the difficulty of the deduction was calculated based on the participants' abilities using an algorithm that was not publicly disclosed.
In general, the system would randomly match deductionists of similar strengths to the same deduction, and if they formed teams, the teams would also be matched with similar strengths. However, if a very strong deductionist joined a team, the overall difficulty of the game would increase, and for weaker individuals, the death rate would double.
So, anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't team up with someone much stronger than themselves, as they would end up being the ones to suffer.
To avoid this situation, Yu Xing didn't plan to team up with Qu Xianqing too early in the game. Right now, he needed to hide the fact that he couldn't die. If the difficulty suddenly increased, he, a person whose strength had not yet recovered and who hadn't accumulated many trump cards in this absurd world, would easily crash.
Moreover, even if he couldn't die, at least he had a guarantee. But if Qu Xianqing's arrival caused other well-meaning deductionists to face unexpected difficulties, leading to an increase in the death rate, this was also something Yu Xing didn't want to see.
He had anticipated the situation today, so several days ago, Qu Xianqing, who was already at the time limit, had conducted a deduction, deliberately avoiding the summoning conditions of Alice's Hell.
Hmm... he was going to take on two members of the Prism alone. Just thinking about it... was very exciting.
So far, the system hadn't given any more hints, similar to the previous deductions. It always triggered the mission when a certain condition was met.
Yu Xing didn't know if the differentiation-level deduction was the same, so he walked in the direction of the castle gate, deciding to take it one step at a time.
The others were also gathering together, seemingly planning to meet up before heading to the gate to meet the guide.
Yu Xing walked relatively slowly, and after seeing the others' intentions, he also cooperated and headed towards the crowded area. Soon, the deductionists gathered about a hundred meters from the gate of the amusement park.
From their figures, it was clear that there were six men and two women, and aside from the woman with the ponytail, the smallest figure was undoubtedly Han Xinyi.Han Xinyi stood next to a robust man, and even though the man was wearing a mask and a hood, Yu Xing could tell that this was Han Zhiyong.
The others seemed unfamiliar with each other, standing apart. Yu Xing knew he couldn't disguise his identity in front of Han Xinyi; after all, he was taller than most people here. There was one person of similar height, but he didn't wear a hood, his black hair with slightly curled ends was exposed, clearly different from Yu Xing.
Of the other three men, two were around 1.75 meters tall and had no distinguishing features at first glance, while another was about 1.8 meters tall with well-defined muscles.
Just then, a 1.7-meter-tall woman exclaimed "Eh" and looked at the chest of the only man without a hood.
Over his hoodie, the man with the curled hair ends wore a highly recognizable mithril pendant of an indescribable, bizarre shape that seemed to be of the Cthulhu style. In several hollowed-out parts of the pendant, a small green snake carved from jade was coiled.
"Wow, you're Huai!" The woman's voice sounded lively and youthful. She seemed quite relaxed, even boldly approaching the man despite his aloof demeanor. "A living Huai, eh? I've only seen you in the case video viewing area before. Hey, I really like your Deduction style! Hello, I'm Huangbai, pleased to meet you, big shot~"
"Huai?"
Hearing this name, everyone showed a bit of a reaction, even Han Xinyi shifted her gaze from Yu Xing for a moment, tilting her head.
Yu Xing raised an eyebrow in secret, judging by their reactions, "Huai" seemed to be a famous Deductionist, perhaps even a star Deductionist?
Moreover, this was the first time he had seen someone's identity revealed before the Deduction officially started, with everyone wearing masks, and no one seemed to find it inappropriate, not even Huai himself.
Just by observing the man's unguarded behavior, Yu Xing could sense his confidence. Among the Deductionists who had advanced to the differentiation level, such an attitude often indicated self-assurance in one's abilities.
However, Huai merely nodded at Huangbai, showing neither enthusiasm nor dislike. After looking around, he touched his mithril pendant and said calmly to the 1.8-meter-tall man, "This gathering is quite interesting, even bringing in the gambler. I didn't expect that Zeng Lai, the gambler from the research institute, would be so close to me in reality."
Huangbai followed his gaze, hands in her pockets, innocently: "Ah, Gambler Zeng Lai is here too? Then this Deduction won't be easy."
"What's the matter, little brother, how did you recognize me?" To everyone's surprise, the gambler spoke with a Northeastern accent, unexpectedly friendly.
Yu Xing let out a soft chuckle.
"..."
While some were revealing each other's identities, others felt bitter.
This summoning was mandatory, not to mention Huangbai's remark "won't be easy," which brought a hint of sadness to those less skilled.
At that moment, a man interrupted their casual conversation, his tone tinged with gloom: "Alright, you two big shots, thanks for your outstanding contributions to the game's difficulty... I'm Yì, and I want to say, can we go in and start the Deduction task before catching up?"
