Day of Imprisonment

"What? What did you say? Who... who died?" Teacher Han's voice was loud at first, but quickly, he lowered it. You could hear a tremor in his voice, and it was a violent one.

Luo Xi didn't say much. He carried Teacher Han, who only had half a body, rushed to the second floor, first let Teacher Han take a look at Liang Yunshi's corpse, and then went up to the third floor and entered the administrator's office.

"How did you do it?" Teacher Han took a while to recover. When he saw Liang Yunshi's body just now, his expression could only be described as wonderful.

Mixed with shock, fear, suspicion, and doubt.

It's hard to imagine how these complex expressions could appear on a dead man's face at the same time.

"I used a card!"

"Card? I understand, I understand. As expected, you are Luo Xi. Many people didn't believe you could be so awesome after losing your memory, but I never doubted it. I never doubted you. I knew you would come to me and that you would have a way to help me escape this sea of ​​suffering."

Teacher Han was very excited at this time. He was like a prisoner who had been locked up for a long time and suddenly gained freedom. His whole person had changed.

Even the intestines that were exposed from his stomach were shaking non-stop.

"I'm sorry, I'm indeed a little embarrassed in this state right now, but it doesn't matter. You said that a person's appearance is not important, what matters is what they do. Some people may be beautiful and radiant, but they just loaf around, waiting for death, or do some meaningless or even harmful things; but some people, even if they are disabled, can do great things that are admirable and will be remembered in history. That is a giant in personality."

"I said that?"

"Said it, oh, I'm sorry, I forgot again, you have amnesia and can't remember the past, but it doesn't matter, I will tell you some things, so that's like you remember... You said that a real Memory Retriever doesn't rely on a [Card] to eke out an existence, but is brave enough to explore, and even if they become an amnesiac, they can regain their truly lost memories!"

"So, we did know each other before."

"We knew each other. To be honest, when I saw you on the last cycle day, I don't know how excited I was, but I could only bear it and find a chance to secretly ask you for help."

Perhaps because the mountain that was pressing on his head was gone, Teacher Han's performance at this time was completely different from before.

He was a little garrulous, chattering endlessly.

Luo Xi didn't interrupt him, just occasionally guided a word or two, and then listened to Teacher Han's one-sided narration.

"Luo Xi, listen carefully, the following words are what you asked me to say to you. You said, if you meet you on a certain cycle day in the future, you must secretly find a chance to ask you for help. If you successfully save me, tell you that the 'Tide of Awakening' has ended and the 'Breaking Cocoon Plan' has begun..."

Teacher Han said in a low voice.

"Tide of Awakening... Just this one sentence?" Luo Xi thought for a moment and asked.

To him, the words 'Breaking Cocoon Plan' were very familiar, because he had heard these four words in the toilet when he first became a Memory Retriever.

If you continue to speculate, you will know that these plans must have come from 'yourself'. One is the naming method, which gives Luo Xi a very familiar feeling, that is, if he were to name it, he would do the same.

Secondly, this is the only possibility, otherwise, he wouldn't have heard that phantom sound in the toilet in the first place.

Or rather, that was not a hallucination at all, but a special awakening mechanism, similar to a set 'alarm clock', triggered at a specific time.

To be honest, this does fit Luo Xi's own style.

It's just that the perception is very strange, because the previous 'self' before he became an amnesiac, although they are the same person, but if amnesia is regarded as a death, then they are actually two people.

Two identical people with different memories, but the same way of thinking and doing things.

"There's one more sentence!" Han Fengtian added at this time, but his expression was a little strange, as if this sentence was not a good thing.

"Say it."

"At the time, you said that you were far inferior to me, but I still hope you don't be too useless and don't mess up the whole plan... That's it!" Han Fengtian finished speaking.

"Just that?" Luo Xi calculated that what the former self had asked Han Fengtian to tell him was actually only two sentences, one of which was a nagging of 'disdain and contempt'.

Obviously, things were definitely not that simple.

Moreover, Luo Xi almost immediately understood the meaning of these two messages.

The message itself has no value. It is more like a 'verification', or rather, an authentication, to make the current self believe what Han Fengtian said.

Because a person who can say 'Breaking Cocoon Plan' is definitely the kind of person who is trustworthy.

So the key is, what memories does Han Fengtian have of the former self?

That's the key.

"Tell me about that person." After Luo Xi figured this out, he had a feeling of mutual appreciation.

"Tell me about who?" Han Fengtian didn't understand for a moment.

"What do you think?" Luo Xi asked back.

This time Han Fengtian understood: "Where should I start?"

"How did you meet?"

"This matter is very early. There was a time when my memory was very chaotic, and I was confused. I didn't even know who I was. That day, I felt like I was being pulled out of muddy water. The whole person suddenly became clear. At that time, you were the one who pulled me up, from a sea of ​​blood full of broken limbs." A trace of fear appeared in Han Fengtian's eyes. It could be seen that he had done psychological construction before, but he still couldn't suppress the fear of this memory.

"You gave me a new life. Although you never said that, I know it, and I also know that I am different from others. Later, I slowly remembered many things, and then I realized that I should already be dead, maybe a ghost, a dead spirit, or something else... Later, you told me that we, who have already died, are called 'Witherers' on the Day of Confinement."

After knowing that he was actually a person who had died once, Han Fengtian also fell into a period of confusion, confusion, and pain.

But in the end, he walked out of that self-woven predicament.

At that time, Luo Xi, in Han Fengtian's eyes, was already an extremely powerful existence, with a strong sense of mystery, perseverance, and almost nothing could affect Luo Xi's emotions. The other party not only rescued him from a place like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, but also rescued many people. Han Fengtian didn't know the specific number, but there must be many.

And he was just one of them, so to some extent, Luo Xi was a savior to 'Witherers' like him, even exaggeratedly speaking, almost a god-like existence.

It's not because Luo Xi saved him that he said this, but mainly because of Luo Xi's character and the way he did things that he saw and heard later.

Han Fengtian later discovered that not all 'Witherers' could maintain clarity and rationality like him, including memory.

Other Witherers would change in the continuous reincarnation of the cycle day, either becoming crazy, or becoming demented, and more often forgetting their memories. Han Fengtian had seen too much of this in the past cycle days. It was also because of this that Han Fengtian knew that he was very special. At least, he had never experienced that kind of mania, or the situation of being neurologically disordered by resentment and obsession.

In the beginning, Han Fengtian lived in a very special building.

There were many rooms in the building, and many other Witherers lived there as well. He would even become good friends with some Witherers, but not many could always maintain reason and normalcy, so Han Fengtian's friends would often change.

For him, the days in the building were quite comfortable. Although he felt very bored or even boring at the time, after experiencing many things, Han Fengtian would miss that time very much.

Luo Xi would come to the building relatively regularly. Sometimes he would bring some new Witherers, and at the same time, he would take some away when he left.

And each time, Luo Xi would take the time to chat with Han Fengtian.

"How are you feeling lately, Teacher Han?"

"Teacher Han, this building is my private space. Do you ever feel like it's a box, a perfect cube?"

"Teacher Han, I know some of the Withering Ones here aren't doing so well, or rather, they're doing very badly. Some of them are even quite aggressive. But don't worry, I'll take the problematic ones away. Also, you don't have to worry about them escaping or outsiders intruding. I've installed a combination lock on the building. Only those who know the code can get in. Oh, no, I can't tell you the code, otherwise, it wouldn't be a code."

"Do you remember what I taught you before about the Day of Imprisonment? If you do, I need to test you now."

"Teacher Han, you're the most special Withering One I've ever met. Today is your last day living in this building. On the next cycle day, I'll take you away and arrange some things for you to do. Don't you always feel bored here? But to be honest, after I take you out, you might secretly curse me."

"Teacher Han, this is the checkpoint scene in the Day of Imprisonment that I told you about. You'll live here and work as the administrator. Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Just remember the precautions I taught you. Also, I won't be coming to see you for a very, very long time because I'm going to a place, a very important place, at a great cost, but it's all worth it."

"If you see me again, no matter how many cycle days have passed, as long as you see me again, it means I've lost my memory. Yes, you don't need to panic so much. For me, losing my memory isn't a bad thing. It's a necessary process. Besides, I have experience in this area. As for you, just remember that if you see me again and you're in a dangerous situation, you must remember to ask me for help. I'll tell you a few words that you must remember, and only when I, in that state, successfully rescue you, can you say the words I told you."

Han Fengtian paused when he got to this point.

He felt that this matter was very strange.

Because the things Luo Xi said back then had actually all happened now.

If Luo Xi's amnesia was planned and arranged by himself, then how did Luo Xi know that he would be in a dangerous environment?

You should know that he was in the Tun Tun Elementary School checkpoint scene at that time, and the administrator of that scene was also very kind.

A hundred times better than Liang Yunshi.

But later, the administrator of that checkpoint scene suddenly changed. He never met the previous administrator again, and after that, they changed two more administrators before they met Liang Yunshi.

And compared to the previous administrator, Liang Yunshi seemed very fierce and extremely mean.

"Her attitude towards us isn't even as good as the cat she keeps!"

Han Fengtian couldn't help but curse.

Clearly, he didn't have a good impression of Liang Yunshi at all.

Because he saw the cat in this management office, and even hamsters! This woman is a hypocrite!

He babbled on and on, but towards the end, he was basically repeating the same things over and over again. It can be said that Teacher Han's memory can be roughly divided into three stages: the initial chaotic stage, wallowing in the sea of flesh and blood of fear, hatred, resentment, and madness; then being rescued by Luo Xi with some mysterious and great means, and then being arranged to recuperate in a place called 'The Building'. At the same time, there were other Withering Ones here. Some people went crazy, some people went mad, and some even chose self-destruction. Teacher Han was the most stable one among these Withering Ones; after that, there was the third stage, Luo Xi 'introduced' Teacher Han to a job in the checkpoint scene, and told him two sentences, asking him to tell Luo Xi in a specific environment.

This is the information on Teacher Han.

It sounds very simple, nothing special, at least, Teacher Han himself thinks that neither his experience nor the two sentences he conveyed have any practical significance.

But Luo Xi still fell into deep thought for about a few minutes after listening.

Teacher Han seemed very familiar with Luo Xi's state of thinking about problems, at least, he knew that he shouldn't disturb Luo Xi at this time.

So he stopped talking and propped up half of his body with his hands, touring this management office.

In Teacher Han's own words, it was that although he had been working here for a very, very long time, this was the first time he had entered the management office in this checkpoint scene.

"This is where the administrator lives? Not bad. Wait a minute, that woman Liang raises flowers, plants, and small animals here. Could it be that this place is not affected by the reset of the cycle day scene? It must be so. Wow, in this way, many things can be preserved. The most troublesome thing on the Day of Imprisonment is to preserve things. Outside, except for myself, nothing can be left behind. For example, my small handicrafts, every time they are made, they will turn back into raw materials on the next cycle day."

Han Fengtian muttered to himself.

This seemed to be a way for him to regulate himself. Maybe this is also why he is a relatively unique one among many Withering Ones, able to not go crazy, not be stupid, and not fall into some kind of terrifying madness.

Just as Han Fengtian began to open the closet and rummage through many women's clothes inside, Luo Xi completed his thinking about this problem and clearly had a result.

"Teacher Han!" Luo Xi called out, and Han Fengtian immediately shouted, "I'm here, Luo Xi, what arrangements do you have? Just say it, you know, you brought me out, I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Luo Xi smiled: "I do have something I need to ask you to do. It might be a little challenging for you."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can help you, I'll do anything." Han Fengtian didn't care. As he spoke, the kidney in his stomach fell down. He glanced at it, quickly picked it up, and stuffed it back in.

At this time, Luo Xi took out the administrator contract from the drawer, and at the same time took a pen, and then crossed out a few strokes on Liang Yunshi's signature that was faintly visible.

"Teacher Han, I plan to let you replace Liang Yunshi and become the administrator of Tun Tun Elementary School. Come, sign your name!"

Saying that, Luo Xi handed the pen to Han Fengtian, who was already dumbfounded.

The latter's eyes widened, so much so that one eyeball fell out with a thud.

So he hurriedly went to find his eye. After finally finding it, he put it back in, looking like a 'big smarty' with one eye squinting.

"You want me to be the administrator? Is this... is this going to work?"

He rubbed his hands as he spoke.

"Liang Yunshi can do it, so can you. Besides, as long as you can successfully replace her position, then she will lose her status as administrator, which is good for both you and me. The only uncertainty is whether changing the name on the contract can complete the replacement operation, but I think the possibility is still very high, because the contract is hidden by her in a locked drawer, obviously this thing is very important. In addition, the name on the contract is indeed in a virtual state, which seems to be a kind of hint. Anyway, there's no harm in trying."

Hearing Luo Xi say this, Han Fengtian also nodded: "That's true!"

He stepped forward, took the pen, and then very seriously signed his name on the contract.

Han Fengtian!

In the next moment, the three words Liang Yunshi that were originally crossed out on the contract began to return to normal from the previous virtual state, as if it was a truly crossed out name, while Han Fengtian's name was glowing with a faint light.

Ring ring ring ~

At this time, the ringing of a telephone broke the silence in the room.

Han Fengtian was obviously startled. He looked around in some horror, even with a guilty conscience, and found that there was an old telephone on the table over there.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Luo Xi walk over and answer the phone nonchalantly.
