Day of Imprisonment

"Luo Xi, are you... are you okay?"

In the dim, smoke-filled men's locker room, Liu Mao looked at Luo Xi as if he were a madman.

"I'm fine, Brother Mao. Did you understand what I just said? If you didn't, I can explain it again," Luo Xi said patiently.

"Damn it, I didn't understand a word you said! What nonsense are you spouting? 'Memory Collector'? 'Day of Imprisonment'? What's wrong with you? You're still in the mood for jokes?" Liu Mao wore a disappointed expression. But at that moment, he seemed to hear something and glanced at the door in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xi asked.

"Nothing." Liu Mao shook his head, looking puzzled.

At this moment, Luo Xi also noticed something was amiss.

He looked out the window.

Not long ago, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was blue with white clouds. But now, the sky seemed to change 'color' in the blink of an eye, becoming dim and gloomy, with dark clouds gathering. However, that wasn't the most important thing. Even though they were on the twenty-fourth floor, under normal circumstances, they could still hear the noisy sounds from outside when they opened the window.

But at this moment, it was as if everything had suddenly gone silent.

There was no sound from outside.

It was eerily quiet.

This was clearly abnormal, and Luo Xi remembered a similar situation had occurred before.

It was the last time Brother Mao transformed into a fierce ghost and began his killing spree. Everyone was terrified, but only Luo Xi noticed the abnormal changes outside the window. Clearly, this 'change' that seemed to isolate the outside world appeared at the same time as the killing spree.

Upon realizing this, Luo Xi's expression immediately became very interesting.

There was a hint of surprise.

And also some sense of expectation.

"What's happening?" Guo Zening clearly sensed something was wrong. He looked at Luo Xi, who, as if realizing something, reached into his pocket and took out a card.

It had the same spider web design on the back, and the front featured a glowing 'brain'.

The words below read: [Memory Card]. This card allows you to preserve one memory after death. Memories are the most precious treasure in life, carrying our past, present, and future.

Luo Xi glanced at it and put the card away.

"I see!"

He muttered to himself. The card had suddenly appeared in his pocket. Clearly, this wasn't just good luck, but a 'reward' within the rules.

It was known that there were two ways to obtain a Memory Card.

Guo Zening had been standing by the door tidying things up because he was afraid of Liu Mao, so he was closest to the door.

Hearing Luo Xi's words, although he wasn't quite sure what was happening, Guo Zening acted quickly. He immediately locked the men's locker room door.

Then, he saw Luo Xi gesturing for silence.

Even though he didn't know what was happening, it didn't stop Guo Zening from feeling scared and nervous.

How did that saying go?

The unknown is the most terrifying.

"What are you two up to?"

The silence was broken by Liu Mao's voice.

Immediately after he spoke, extremely rapid footsteps came from the door. The sound made people's hearts race, as if their heartbeats would accelerate along with it.

The footsteps suddenly started and then suddenly stopped.

But everyone knew that someone was outside the locker room.

From the shadow in the gap under the door, it was clear that someone was standing outside. However, the person didn't speak or knock, but just stood there blankly.

Guo Zening was like a statue at this moment, not daring to move behind the door, his eyes constantly looking at Luo Xi, pleading for help.

Luo Xi gestured for him to stay still and calm down, and was about to reassure Brother Mao, but the latter walked directly to the door and asked, "Who's out there?"

Just as Luo Xi cursed 'bad news' in his heart, the person outside actually left quickly after hearing Liu Mao's voice.

The rapid footsteps faded away.

The sound of something being broken outside could also be heard, a chaotic mess.

Liu Mao immediately opened the door and looked outside, only to see a series of bloody footprints on the ground, messy and disordered, as if someone with blood-soaked shoes had been breakdancing outside for half an hour.

Many workstation partitions were smashed to pieces, along with some computers.

The sound they had just heard was the sound of someone smashing those things.

"Who the hell did this?" Liu Mao exploded when he saw the scene outside. He was about to chase after them, but Luo Xi stepped forward and forcefully pulled him back.

"Brother Mao, don't get excited. Listen to me."

"What do you want to say? Luo Xi, you're acting very strangely. I've felt something was wrong with you since just now. What's going on? Do you know something?" Liu Mao looked serious.

"Brother Mao, didn't I already tell you?"

"Day of Imprisonment? Memory Collector? And what the hell is a Cleaner?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the Cleaner was just here. But I didn't expect him to be scared away... Is it because it's not the original version, so it retains some memories? Or is it that the pirated version has a natural fear of the original? Or is it another rule restriction, unable to attack?"

The last sentence was Luo Xi muttering to himself, and no one heard it except him.

Liu Mao was clearly in shock. He couldn't quite believe it, but the current situation was indeed very bizarre and unbelievable.

Guo Zening was also in shock and fear.

He was like a headless fly right now: "Luo Xi, was that the Cleaner just now? But Brother Mao is right here..."

Luo Xi knew what he was going to ask.

"That's Feng Kai."

"Feng Kai? How could it be him?"

"Don't ask, I can't explain it in a sentence or two. Let's go, let's get out of here first." Luo Xi pulled Liu Mao and walked out.

"Where to?"

"The women's restroom."

After Luo Xi and the other two walked into the women's restroom, they saw Wu Rui hugging Zhang Ya'nan and comforting her. The latter had obviously cried, her eyes were swollen, and she was shivering all over.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

On the floor of the women's restroom, there were also bloody footprints.

Even on the ceiling.

There was a strange smell coming from one of the stalls, the smell of blood was even stronger.

"Wu Rui?" Liu Mao and Guo Zening were both very surprised.

Because they hadn't seen her since just now, where did she pop out from?

Compared to their reaction, Wu Rui's reaction was even more exaggerated. At this moment, she was like a frightened cat, as if all the hairs on her body were standing on end. Swish, she took out a dagger from nowhere, her eyes staring fixedly at Liu Mao, in a fighting stance, but anyone with eyes could see that she was putting on a brave face, her calves were even starting to tremble.

"Luo Xi, did you already know that Feng Kai he..." Zhang Ya'nan asked as she stood up at this time. She had already experienced the most terrifying scene, and at this moment, she was starting to slowly adapt.

At least, her legs were not as weak as they were at the beginning.

"Of course I knew, but Feng Kai was just a possibility. Before, I was just guessing, and I wasn't sure..." Luo Xi said truthfully.

"Then you left me here alone?" Zhang Ya'nan glared, with a hint of questioning. She had a good temper, but that didn't mean she didn't have one.

"If I had stayed, I would have died. You have [Diplomat], so it could only be you who stayed... So, the card has been used?" Luo Xi asked.

"You, you bastard..."

Zhang Ya'nan was so angry that she didn't want to speak.

"How did Feng Kai change, did he say anything?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

Although she was in a very bad mood, Zhang Ya'nan still opened her mouth and said, "At first there was no movement, and then Feng Kai suddenly pushed open the door and walked out by himself. At that time, there was blood all over his feet, but his skin had no blood color, like a corpse in a funeral home... I have relatives who have passed away, I have seen that kind of skin, I am sure he was dead at that time... But he could still move, and his eyes were bleeding outwards, he he even bit off his wrist himself, using the bone as a knife."

"He did say something, he said at first, 'Where is my knife'." Zhang Ya'nan looked at Luo Xi at this time: "I remember, you took a folding knife from his pocket before."

"Anything else?" Luo Xi took out the folding knife.

"Also, he said 'Kill people... Kill them all? Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go kill'." Zhang Ya'nan tried to imitate Feng Kai's tone at the time.

"He really said that?" Luo Xi pressed.

"Yes."

"Did he say anything else?"

"No!"

Luo Xi nodded: "Ya'nan, thank you this time."

Zhang Ya'nan's anger dissipated a lot at this time. In fact, she didn't blame Luo Xi. On the contrary, she already had a kind of 'dependence' on Luo Xi. It was just because the experience was too terrifying for her, she had to vent.

The reason is very complicated. In addition to the other party's strength, it is more of a control over the situation. In short, it is a feeling of giving people 'trustworthiness'.

To put it more bluntly, following Luo Xi, maybe they can survive.

Zhang Ya'nan knew that this was the herd effect. The herd was originally very scattered, but when the leader appeared, the herd would follow the leader. Now these people do need Luo Xi as the leader.

There is another reason for the establishment of this trust.

Luo Xi accurately predicted Feng Kai's transformation into a ghost, and the sudden appearance of 'Wu Rui'.

A few minutes ago

Just when Zhang Ya'nan was watching Feng Kai, after turning into a ghost, use his bloody broken arm bone to stab over, she raised the card, and the next second, the card with a bang, turned into a cloud of smoke.

After that, Feng Kai really didn't hurt her, but turned around and left.

Just two minutes after the other party left, the stall door on the side opened, and Wu Rui walked out from inside.

But Zhang Ya'nan remembered very clearly that when she came in with Luo Xi before, she had seen that there was no one in the women's restroom, and all the stalls were empty.

So, how did Wu Rui come out? Where did she come out from? Most importantly, how did Luo Xi know that she would come out here?

Zhang Ya'nan didn't know the answer at all, she didn't even know what happened, her mind was blank.

But she understood that everything Luo Xi said had come true.

From the beginning, Luo Xi seemed to be walking in front of everyone, even Du Manager and Feng Kai, these two 'senior players', didn't have the slightest advantage in front of Luo Xi.

So, after seeing Wu Rui, Zhang Ya'nan pulled her, and without explanation, according to what Luo Xi had told her, she told the other party everything that had happened before, one by one.

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xi and the others came in.

For Zhang Ya'nan, after experiencing the previous events, she wouldn't be too surprised to encounter anything else. For example, she also saw Liu Mao, she was also afraid, after all, the shock of Brother Mao turning into a ghost last time was too great for her, but as long as Luo Xi was present, there would be a inexplicable peace of mind.

The existence of the other party, for her, is like taking a reassurance pill.

And besides these, what really made Zhang Ya'nan trust and rely on Luo Xi was that the other party didn't take away her [Diplomat] card.

If it weren't for this card, she would have died.
