Day of Imprisonment

#36 - Hand of Punishment

The people in the living room relaxed a little after Luo Xi and Zhou Xinpeng left.

After all, the atmosphere had been too tense just now.

Wang Tao carefully observed everyone, pretending to sit on the bench, while Zhang the butcher walked over and whispered to Liu Mao.

Liu Mao's wife was hugging her two children, comforting them in a low voice.

That woman, Song Yan, was still unconscious.

It was unknown whether Zhou Xinpeng had drugged her.

Wang Tao didn't talk to anyone. He wasn't good at talking in the first place, especially in this situation. Moreover, he was very anxious and nervous.

"That Luo Xi must also have ill intentions, but I have no choice. If Zhou Ya initiates the killing time, I won't be able to survive. And I don't have any memory cards left. If I kill other Memory Retrievers, there are too many people in this house. If I make a move, I might not succeed and will be targeted."

Wang Tao glanced at Song Yan again.

"This woman is an easy target. If I kill her, I can get a memory card. Although there's a risk of it being snatched away, Liu Mao and that butcher Zhang shouldn't interfere... Wait a minute, I have an idea. I can kill Song Yan first, and then immediately go kill Zhou Ya. This not only gives me a way out, but if I succeed, I can clear the game and get more rewards."

"Yes, that's it. I'll kill Zhou Ya and run out. Luo Xi said earlier that the administrator can't leave this room, and because I killed Zhou Ya, even if it's twelve noon, there won't be a killing time. Haha, perfect!"

The more Wang Tao thought about it, the more he felt this plan was the best choice. Most importantly, he subjectively believed that killing Zhou Ya would bring very generous rewards.

Because Luo Xi had hinted to him earlier that killing the 'cleaner' would definitely bring more rewards, far exceeding the rewards for killing ordinary Memory Retrievers.

This theory didn't seem to have any problems on the surface.

It seemed logical.

But if you analyze it carefully, you will find that there is no correlation between killing Memory Retrievers and killing cleaners.

Desire is like a certain blue pill. It can always make people have unrealistic self-confidence and stubbornly believe 'I can do it'.

Wang Tao was like he had taken a drug at this time. He secretly stood up, then quietly walked behind Song Yan's chair, aimed, and suddenly used the fruit knife tightly held in his hand to stab the woman's neck fiercely.

Afraid that one stab wouldn't kill her, this guy stabbed several more times.

Blood immediately spurted out.

The Liu Mao family and Zhang the butcher on the opposite sofa were stunned.

Things happened so suddenly that no one expected Wang Tao, who had been honest and like a transparent person just now, to suddenly attack Song Yan, who had no power to resist.

This woman died very unjustly.

Seeing Liu Mao and Zhang the butcher getting up, Wang Tao immediately raised the fruit knife in his hand: "It's none of your business, don't fucking interfere with me."

After speaking, he immediately ran towards the bedroom inside.

It seemed that after seeing blood, the ferocity in Wang Tao's bones was also stimulated, or rather, he was bloodthirsty.

The only thought in his mind now was to kill Zhou Ya.

Because the result of Luo Xi's previous analysis was impeccable, Zhou Ya always initiated the killing time at exactly twelve noon, so before that, the other party should be an ordinary person who could be killed.

It just so happened that Zhou Xinpeng was not here, which was an excellent opportunity.

Moreover, killing Zhou Ya would definitely bring tons of rewards.

Wang Tao's mind was full of these thoughts as he rushed to the bedroom door and twisted the doorknob.

It wouldn't open.

Wang Tao immediately rammed the door, desperately ramming the door.

This kind of bedroom door was not strong, and it was actually knocked open after he rammed it three times.

Wang Tao even fell in through the opened door because he couldn't withstand the force.

He immediately got up and stared at the bedroom.

The bedroom was not big. It was obviously a little girl's bedroom, decorated with a girly feel. There was a bed with many cute dolls on it, and a girl was lying on the bed.

The little girl was wearing a white dress, and her body was covered in blood. Half of her body was stained red.

The source of the blood was the little girl's chest.

A knife was inserted there.

If you look closely, the girl is actually still alive, but her breath is very weak.

It was also because the knife was not pulled out. If it was pulled out, the blood loss would be greater, and she might die soon.

Wang Tao never thought that this would be the case. He was stunned for a moment, but he understood that the little girl on the bed who was about to die was Zhou Ya.

Because he had seen the other party.

That's right.

He remembered that every time he was strangled to death by his hair, he would see a girl in a red dress looking at him with extremely cold and resentful eyes before he died.

It's Zhou Ya!

Because that was the last scene he saw in a near-death state, the memory was deep but also very blurry, and he could only recall it under certain circumstances.

"Yes, kill her, kill her, and everything will be over." Wang Tao had already heard Zhou Xinpeng's mad roar behind him.

He knew that time was running out and he had to act immediately.

Wang Tao didn't think about anything at this time, just one thought.

Kill Zhou Ya!

He pounced on her and stabbed Zhou Ya in the neck with a knife.

However, at the same time, Wang Tao also felt like he was hit by a wild bull. He flew up and slammed into the wall over there.

After falling to the ground, Wang Tao felt pain all over his body.

His bones were broken.

And more than one was broken.

But so what?

I already have the memory card and have killed Zhou Ya. The next cycle will be the end of it all, and I can escape from this place.

Thinking of this, the pain seemed to lessen, but his throat felt very blocked. He was spitting blood, and he couldn't stop.

And because he needed to breathe, he choked on the blood, which flowed into his lungs, causing a stabbing pain.

Wang Tao felt himself being pulled up with immense brute force, and the last image he saw was Zhou Xinpeng's face, twisted like a vengeful ghost. The other party snatched two cards from him: [Memory] and [Plunder].

After that, he felt the other party slap him, and then he fell into complete darkness.

Zhou Xinpeng brutally murdered Wang Tao.

Only then did everyone realize that Zhou Xinpeng's strength and speed far exceeded those of a normal person, because no normal person could smash a person's head into pieces with just one palm, like a watermelon smashed hard against a wall.

It was truly shattered.

"Ah, die, die!" Zhou Xinpeng was abusing the corpse.

Like a madman.

Or rather, he was already mad, only maintaining the appearance of a normal person with the last shred of his sanity. Wang Tao's actions shattered that last bit of reason.

The people outside watched in stunned silence.

Only Luo Xi remained expressionless, as if he had expected this scene all along.

After killing Wang Tao, the bedroom was like a large meat grinder, a hellish scene of minced meat and blood everywhere.

Zhou Xinpeng turned his head, looking at everyone with crazy eyes.

"You will all die!"

Everyone's heart pounded wildly. Liu Mao's wife and children were so scared that they couldn't even cry.

There was no way around it. This scene was more than unsuitable for children. Any normal person would develop psychological problems. Moreover, Zhou Xinpeng was clearly driven mad by the murder of his daughter, and not only killed Wang Tao, but also wanted to vent his anger on others.

"Radish, you're breaking the rules!" Luo Xi said.

Then he looked expectant, like an audience member waiting for a play to begin, or a child waiting to open a birthday present.

Zhou Xinpeng realized something.

His eyes widened, and after a brief moment of astonishment, he roared and tried to rush over to kill people.

But as soon as he took a step, his body froze.

The feeling was like suddenly sinking into extremely viscous glue, his whole body switching between rage and stillness without any buffer.

Zhou Xinpeng tried to struggle.

But it was obviously futile. He seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand.

Immediately afterwards, he floated up in stiffness and slight trembling.

This scene had a supernatural feel that tore apart reality, especially in this environment, it had an extremely strong impact.

The people in the living room didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, Zhou Xinpeng no longer had the previous ferocity. His eyes revealed fear, as well as deep reluctance. He tried to turn his head, but the invisible force suppressed him, so even the simple action of turning his head was impossible.

Tears flowed from Zhou Xinpeng's eyes.

He stared with unwilling eyes, as if fighting against fate, but his means of resistance was only to turn his head.

What was he trying to do by turning his head?

Luo Xi realized something, but the next moment, Zhou Xinpeng was crushed into pieces.

This was not an exaggerated adjective, but the literal meaning. A living person was kneaded into minced meat by an invisible hand.

Severed limbs and head fell to the ground, followed by squeezed-out internal organs and blood, covering the floor.

The scene was so terrifying that everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe, frozen in place.

Until the telephone in the living room rang.

It was an old-fashioned landline placed on the table.

Ring, ring, ring, ringing non-stop.

No one dared to answer it, or rather, everyone had not yet recovered from the shocking, bloody, and terrifying scene just now.

Luo Xi walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello, I am the administrator, Cabbage. In view of the fact that Sega Apartment Building administrator, Radish, has violated the rules and has been punished, the Sega Apartment Building scene will be canceled in the next Day of Imprisonment cycle. However, this scene will still be carried out according to the original mechanism, including the normal distribution of clearance rewards, etc. We hereby notify you and wish you a pleasant game!"

After speaking, he hung up directly.

Beep beep beep ~ ~

Only a busy tone remained in the phone.

The next moment, the entire Sega Apartment Building shook, as if there was an earthquake. A strong smell of blood and stench permeated the air.

Outside the window, the sky instantly darkened, with an indescribable sense of oppression.

Obviously, the killing time had begun.

Luo Xi put down the phone, thought for a while, and walked into the bedroom. He squatted down and picked up two cards from the blood and pieces of corpse.

[Memory] and [Plunder].

Zhou Xinpeng had taken them from Wang Tao before killing him.

And there was a mirror in the bedroom, also stained with blood. Luo Xi looked up, and in the mirror, the 'Luo Xi' wearing glasses looked terrified.

"Damn it, what the hell is this world? Did you see it just now? Did you see it? That huge hand appeared out of thin air and crushed Zhou Xinpeng alive... It's too crazy, did you see that hand?"

The glasses-wearing Luo Xi was a little incoherent.

And behind him, several figures were also trembling, obviously frightened.

The Luo Xi outside the mirror was expressionless, raised his hand, and made a shushing gesture.

"Shh, calm down. Didn't you want to compete with me? You're afraid of this little scene? Really?"

"..."

Low curses faintly came from the mirror.

"Madman!"

"Pervert!"

"No wonder we lost to him!"
