Day of Imprisonment

The rain outside had lessened.

It's 2:37 PM.

"Unknowingly, I've been here for over an hour. I should leave now," Luo Xi said, getting up.

He and Hao Xiuwen talked a lot, or rather, he used a special conversational technique, using very few words to extract the information he wanted to know from the other party's mouth. It can be said that Luo Xi gained a lot this time.

First of all, he has a deeper and broader understanding of the card system in the Day of Imprisonment.

Any Memory Retriever can learn it, but it takes a lot of time to familiarize and practice. First of all, you must sense 'telekinesis'. This thing actually cannot act on any object except for the cards in the Day of Imprisonment. 'Telekinesis' almost does not exist, or it is simply the delusion of a mental patient.

But this thing that seems to be a delusion can indeed act on cards.

For example, activating a card relies on the 'telekinesis' of the Memory Retriever, because you may make sounds like 'release' or 'trigger' to carry the telekinesis and trigger the card. If you are more proficient, you only need to take out the card and think about triggering or activating it to use the card.

However, the props formed by the cards can be materialized, and the process can also be reversed to restore the 'card', which is card transformation.

This is a little more difficult and belongs to an advanced skill.

But it's like a math problem that can be solved by applying a formula. Watching others do it once, or seeing the formula and studying it, you can gradually achieve proficiency after learning and understanding.

Hao Xiuwen said that a normal Memory Retriever would need most of the day to barely master it, but Luo Xi only took less than two minutes to switch the cigarette in his hand back and forth between the physical and card states, which stunned Hao Xiuwen at the time.

"Ha, Luo Xi, although you didn't say it, I think you are at least a veteran who has cleared five or six scenarios, but why don't you have a card ring?"

This is what Hao Xiuwen said when he was about to leave.

However, Luo Xi did not deny or admit this, nor did he answer, leaving the other party with room for imagination.

"Not many people can talk to me. Luo Xi, come and chat with me when you have time. If you have good cards, you can also come to me to exchange them. I will give you a discount."

"Okay, I will come again."

Walking on the street again, there was a special kind of humidity in the air after the rain, and the ground was full of rainwater. Small rivers gathered under the curb, and the turbid water squeezed and rolled into the drain, leaving only a few garbage bags and leaves that were still attached to the world.

"One of the rules of the Day of Imprisonment is that after a Memory Retriever accumulates three successful clearances of any level scenario, they can randomly obtain a [Card Ring] with the number 099. The card album to which the card ring belongs may have some special effects, which will help the Memory Retriever to play the game better in the Day of Imprisonment."

"Listen to that, what is that called? Is everything we are experiencing a game? That is even more terrifying than a nightmare, and what is the difference between it and real hell? That shop owner named Hao Xiuwen is obviously mentally unstable."

It's no wonder she said that, Hao Xiuwen did not deliberately hide his mental state that had already gone wrong, and the reason why the other party could chat with Luo Xi so speculatively, and even quickly became friends, may also be because of the other party's mental problems.

However, Luo Xi could not explain this kind of thing to Wu Rui.

He prefers to describe this ability to easily make friends with others as 'affinity'.

The two followed the road and walked back to the alley where Wu Rui parked the car. After getting in the car, Luo Xi gave an address.

"Black Pig Community, Piggy Road, Huangling District."

"It's not too far, it will take half an hour to get there."

"Drive!"

Half an hour later, Wu Rui's car stopped outside an old residential area.

It's 3:15 PM.

"The road ahead is blocked, there seems to be a fire truck," Wu Rui said at this time.

The two got out of the car and walked over, and soon walked back.

Their expressions were a little bad.

Because there was a fire in a building in this community.

The entire building was burned out of shape, burned beyond recognition, and was pitch black. Some places even collapsed. At this time, the fire was obviously extinguished, but you could still smell a burning smell from a distance. At this moment, there was a search and rescue team working inside, and it was impossible to get close within fifty meters. Moreover, this building was the home address provided by Old Wang, Building 8.

Looking at the degree of destruction now, even if there were people inside, they would have died long ago.

"Maybe that administrator's daughter is already dead," Wu Rui said a possibility in the car.

"It's not good to draw conclusions now. Piggy Elementary School is nearby, let's go take a look," Luo Xi said: "This task only needs to confirm Wang Shuting's current situation to be considered complete. If she is dead, I will pass her death back, and it will be considered complete the task."

Wu Rui didn't expect Luo Xi to say that.

Obviously, from the beginning, Luo Xi's starting point for considering the problem was very simple and direct.

Set a goal, and then complete it.

It's that simple.

Wu Rui started the car.

When leaving the community, Luo Xi said again: "Maybe the Building 8 we just saw is also some kind of level scenario."

Obviously, Wu Rui shivered.

"I wouldn't go to such a scene even if you beat me to death."

Piggy Elementary School was indeed nearby. Driving, it only took two turns, and it took less than two minutes to get there.

After arriving, they found that it was particularly lively here. A banner was hung at the school gate, which read 'Piggy Elementary School's Third Summer Vacation Campus Practice Activity'.

The roads on both sides of the gate were full of cars.

The campus was also crowded with people.

Wu Rui ran over, stopped and asked a few parents at the door, and soon came back and said: "This elementary school arranges students to visit the museum in the morning, and the afternoon is social practice. Parents can voluntarily choose to participate or not. It's just that the children play some professions in the school, such as police, doctors, vendors, etc. I asked, and the activity ends at 5:30."

"It's 3:25 now, which means there are almost two hours left."

"I guess that Wang Shuting must be inside, because this is a school-wide activity, and all grades must participate."

Wu Rui said a lot of her analysis.

Luo Xi, on the other hand, was staring at a female teacher standing at the school gate, watching intently. Wu Rui followed his gaze and frowned.

"She's pretty, and has a good figure..." she muttered.

At this time, Luo Xi had already walked over.

"Hello, I want to challenge your level scenario!"
