Day of Imprisonment

Zhang Ming turned her head to look at the young man walking beside her.

To be honest, she felt a little unconvinced.

In terms of age, they were about the same, but it was obvious that their status was unequal. It would be one thing if the other party was a member of the Awakened Association's management, but he wasn't.

An unknown, insignificant person!

So why was Qiu-ge so 'polite' to this person?

Moreover, listening to everything he said.

This was unreasonable and did not conform to the rules of the Awakened Association.

But she trusted Liang Qiu, so she would execute whatever Liang Qiu said, only with reservations.

"According to the scene rules before the revision, the first floors of areas ABCD are all safe zones, and there will be no danger."

Zhang Ming continued to perform her duties, because she belonged to the clerical staff in the Awakened Association, working as a recorder.

Specializing in recording information about various scenarios, including strategies, rules, structures, and summarized experiences.

This work was very cumbersome, requiring her to deal with a lot of text and data. First of all, her memory had to be better than ordinary people, and she also had to have a strong ability to organize and summarize.

In this regard, Zhang Ming was confident that she was definitely among the top three recorders in the Awakened Association.

"Which area did we enter from just now?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"Area A. The only entrance to this scene is in Area A, but the first floors of the four areas are interconnected, but not all floors are interconnected in the four areas. Only the first, fifth, and ninth floors have passages. Other floors cannot cross areas."

Zhang Ming spoke very quickly.

She had already memorized this information.

"Please continue!" Luo Xi said.

"Okay, the previous scene's rule was also survival, requiring you to find triggerable plot points among the 660 households. After hundreds of attempts by the Awakened Association, a very complete walkthrough strategy has been summarized, including plot points with little danger and ways to obtain some special cards."

Zhang Ming reeled off these pieces of information like a treasure, rattling off dozens of plot points and detailed information in one breath.

Plus, she spoke quickly, so many people heard it, but most people could only remember a small part of it.

It was like when a teacher on the podium bowed his head and read from a book, instilling dozens of knowledge points in a short period of time. Who could hear and remember everything?

Zhang Ming also knew that others could not remember it all.

Moreover, she deliberately spoke very quickly, firstly to show her professional ability, and secondly to give this young man a little show of strength.

The implication was that even before the revision, this scene was extremely complex and cumbersome, with hundreds of pieces of information. A little carelessness could lead to a mistake. Therefore, no matter what decision you make, it is best to discuss it with us.

"Thank you, you explained it very well," Luo Xi said at this time, expressing his gratitude.

"You're welcome," Zhang Ming took it as mere politeness from the other party.

The next moment, she spoke again: "Next, you can listen to our scene analyst's predictions and analysis of the scene revision, which will be beneficial to ."

"No need!" Luo Xi waved his hand.

Zhang Ming was stunned, and behind her, a young man who was ready to step forward to speak also frowned.

He was the scene analyst.

Just now, he had quickly made at least three possible analyses of the scene revision. The three analyses contained many different variables. He was ready to show his talent, but the other party didn't plan to listen at all.

He glanced at Zhang Ming, and the latter immediately said: "Scene analysis is very important for clearing a revised scene. I think you'd better listen to it, which will be beneficial to ."

"No need, thank you!"

Luo Xi refused again.

Zhang Ming sighed, and the scene analyst was even more dissatisfied.

But they didn't say anything.

The two walked to the back and talked in a low voice.

"What does this person do? He's so arrogant."

"I don't know. I'm afraid he didn't listen to anything I said just now. I really don't know why Qiu-ge listens to him."

"Heh, haven't you noticed that this person's way of speaking and posture are very familiar?"

"Ah, yes, I also think it's very similar to Chief Lin."

"Yes, he may be a fanboy of our chief, so he imitates him everywhere. I understand him, because I also admire the chief very much, but I know my limits. I can't reach the chief's level. Similarly, this person can't either. He's just pretending to be very similar."

"What are you two whispering about?" Liang Qiu turned his head and asked at this time.

Just then, a bell suddenly rang.

It was too sudden and too harsh, causing everyone to be stunned.

Some people even shivered.

After the bell, a broadcast sounded.

"Please note, the day is over, entering the night!"

"Please note, the day is over, entering the night!"

"Please note, the day is over, entering the night!"

The same broadcast, three times in a row.

Obviously, this broadcast was very important.

Luo Xi looked at Zhang Ming, who was already dumbfounded.

"Judging by your expression, I know this isn't a mechanism from the previous scene. It seems it's a new addition after the revision."

"Everyone, listen to my orders, hide in the cardboard boxes around, immediately!"

Luo Xi then issued the order.

"Cardboard boxes?"

Everyone was stunned, but then each person reacted differently.

Wu Rui, Mao-ge, and Qian Fatty didn't hesitate at all, and immediately found nearby cardboard boxes to hide in, very quickly.

But Liang Qiu's people couldn't do it.

"The original intelligence didn't include any plot where we could hide in cardboard boxes," the young scene analyst said.

Obviously, in his eyes, Luo Xi's order was unfounded and inexplicable.

It was just a broadcast saying that the day was over and entering the night. How could you tell from that sentence that it had anything to do with cardboard boxes?

It was simply incomprehensible.

"Execute the order!"

However, Liang Qiu's next sentence made these people react.

Now, Luo Xi was the 'commander'.

Therefore, no matter what the order was, it had to be executed without discount.

It must be said that Liang Qiu's people were indeed the elite of the Awakened Association, and they were also loyal. Although they were unwilling or even somewhat resistant, they all executed Luo Xi's orders meticulously.

Hiding in the cardboard boxes.

Including Zhang Ming and the scene analyst.

There were many cardboard boxes in the corridor on the first floor, so there were enough for them to hide. Even Liang Qiu, the big guy, put a cardboard box on his body, squatted down, and hid among the other cardboard boxes.

From the outside, you couldn't see anyone hiding if you didn't look carefully.

The way they looked now was like children playing hide-and-seek, a little childish.

At this moment, in a large cardboard box against the wall, Luo Xi looked at Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui, who were almost stuck to him, and was a little speechless.

"There are still many boxes. Is it interesting for you two to fight with me for one?"

Of course, he said it in a low voice.

"Actually, it's not crowded at all for two people, it's just that there's one more person now." In the dark box, only a few small round holes could let in a little light, illuminating her dark and bright eyes, and you could see that she was staring at Wu Rui, like a snake staring at its prey.

"Sister, I weigh 47 kilograms, what about you?" Although Wu Rui was petite, the coldness in her eyes was no less than Lin Qiqi's.

She stared at the other person as well, and her verbal attacks were just as sharp.

Luo Xi even suspected that Wu Rui might be holding a pen in her hand at that moment.

"You two keep chatting, I'm going to move somewhere else!"

Luo Xi quickly crawled out of the cardboard box and moved to the side.

Just as he had hidden himself, strange footsteps came from the distance.

Crackle, crackle, it sounded like a group of children running over, and they weren't wearing shoes, they were barefoot.

"Are you all hidden well?"

A child's voice came from the distance.

The voice was clear and crisp, sounding like a seven or eight-year-old boy.

Simple and honest with a hint of innocence, and a bit of mischief hidden beneath the innocence.

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

Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned.

Scene recorder Zhang Ming and scene analyst Feng Kai almost simultaneously changed their expressions. The former knew all the details of the previous version of this scene, but he was certain that there was absolutely no hide-and-seek segment.

There was also no division between day and night.

More importantly, any unexpected situation in the level scene foreshadowed danger, and hide-and-seek was undoubtedly one, but according to past information, the first floor of the building, whether it was zone A, B, C, or D, was safe.

But now, the first floor seemed to be unsafe as well.

As for scene analyst Feng Kai, he was thinking even more.

"From entering the scene to now, it's only been seven or eight minutes. How did he know to hide after nightfall? The question is, the act of hiding clearly corresponds to hide-and-seek. So, he knew the content of hide-and-seek in advance?"

"That's impossible. I carefully observed along the way, and there were no clues pointing to the hide-and-seek setting."

"Also, why hide in cardboard boxes during hide-and-seek?"

"If those children find us, what will happen?"

At this moment, various questions filled Feng Kai's mind, like many ants crawling in his chest, making him unbearably itchy.

He now urgently wanted to figure out these questions.

Just then, a sense of invisible danger and oppression struck.

Accompanied by the sound of bare feet walking on the cold floor.

Slap, slap, slap~

At this moment, without anyone reminding them, everyone hiding in the cardboard boxes knew to hold their breath and remain motionless.

The bolder ones would secretly peek out from the gaps in the cardboard boxes.

Then they would see a child with a purplish-blue body and a terrifying face, tilting his head, staring around with eyes so black that there was not a trace of white.

Without a doubt, this was a ghost.

It exuded a terrifying malice and resentment.

To the extent that visible black gas could be seen spreading and rising from its purplish-blue skin.

"Where are they hiding?"

The child mumbled to himself at this moment.

The voice was clear and pure.

But combined with the current situation and his appearance, the sense of eeriness and horror reached its peak.

There were lights in the building.

They were the old罩 lights hanging from the ceiling, one every seven or eight meters.

At this moment, the dim light bulbs flickered.

Bringing a primitive sense of unease and restlessness.

Everyone knew that if they were found by this child ghost, they would definitely die.

So everyone hiding in the cardboard boxes held their hearts in their throats, motionless, hoping that this little ghost would not rummage through the boxes.

But hope, after all, was just hope.

The child ghost seemed to hear some movement at this time. It approached a cardboard box, looking closely.

The person hiding inside was already extremely nervous.

The next moment, the child ghost suddenly opened the box.

"Found you!"

The child ghost stared at the dumbfounded Retriever with a grin, clapping his hands excitedly.

This unlucky Retriever was Qian Fatty.

At this moment, Fatty's face was as white as paper, sweating profusely, so frightened that he couldn't speak. His usual glib tongue was like a mute at this moment, unable to say a word.

Just when everyone thought this fatty was doomed, another cardboard box next to him was actively opened.

"Ha, now that you've been found, quickly switch roles. This time it's your turn to find us, Fatty. Quick, quick, quick, let's hide quickly, don't let Fatty find us." Luo Xi walked over, grabbed the little ghost, and then quickly ran into the distance, turned a corner, and disappeared.

At this moment, Qian Fatty, including the others still hiding in the cardboard boxes, were stunned.

To the extent that in the next few seconds, no one moved, no one spoke, and the silence was so profound that a pin could be heard dropping.

"What's the situation?" Mao Ge was still confused. Of course, others also had this question.

Compared to the few of them who were still relatively familiar with Luo Xi, the people on Liang Qiu's side were completely dumbfounded.

"This doesn't conform to the norms of crisis management. He actually dares to contact the ghosts in the scene without any intelligence support. Is he crazy?" Feng Kai slapped himself twice at this moment.

He probably thought he was dreaming.

"What should we do now?" Zhang Ming asked.

She was also in the process of being at a loss. Of course, she truthfully recorded the plot about this hide-and-seek, as that was her duty.

It's just that the recorded information was very messy.

The new version of 《Haunted Mansion》 has two time states, day and night. The danger during the day is unknown. During the night, it is known that the hide-and-seek plot will occur. You can use the cardboard boxes in the corridor to hide. If you are found, you can leave together holding the little ghost's hand?

Why?

And based on what?

"What is all this?"

Zhang Ming had never recorded such bizarre information.

As for what to do now, no one knew.

"Feng Kai, you are a scene analyst. Tell me, what should we do now?" Liang Qiu asked at this time.

Feng Kai was indeed a scene analyst from the Awakened Association. Although all of this was extremely bizarre, he suppressed his curiosity and incomprehension, and only gave a suggestion based on the current situation.

"Luo Xi just said that it's Fatty's turn to find us this time. So, let's do it according to this setting. Everyone hide. That, Fatty, you come find us..." After Feng Kai finished speaking, he quickly put the cardboard box on his body, squatted down, and stopped moving.

The others were silent for a second, and followed suit.

"Hey, no, I'm finding? How do I find you? Hey, say something." Qian Fatty was both shocked and scared at this moment, confused, his brain empty. However, everyone at this time tacitly hid again.

He could only muster his courage to stand up, thought for a moment, and said, "If I'm finding, then I'm coming."

Looking at the row of cardboard boxes in the corridor that obviously had people hiding in them, Qian Fatty didn't know if he should go over. Just as he was hesitating, Luo Xi poked his head out from the corner of the wall and waved at him.

At this moment, Qian Fatty was as if he had been granted amnesty, and was about to cry. He hurriedly ran over.

"Brother Luo, wuwuwu, I thought you didn't want us anymore."

Fatty was really crying.

In that scene just now, he had already wet his pants, and his crotch was cold at this moment.

"Stop crying, let's go, take a walk with me." Luo Xi said at this time.

"Take a walk? Now?" Qian Fatty was even more confused. Was this the time to take a walk?

His mind was full of questions now.

"Wait, Brother Luo, do you know something?" Qian Fatty wasn't stupid either. He reacted at this time and hurriedly asked.
