Day of Imprisonment

#426 - Skeleton

The once normal city had suddenly become abnormal.

Murder cases emerged one after another.

Even the departments maintaining law and order were greatly impacted by these events, which seemed incredibly bizarre to ordinary people, and they were powerless to stop them.

People didn't understand why such terrible things would suddenly happen in their stable lives.

For example, while walking on the street, a car would suddenly crash into several people on the roadside, and then several people would get out of the car, wielding knives, and chop off the fingers of those on the ground.

Ordinary people living normal lives simply couldn't accept such scenes.

And fear and chaos could never be spread by a single event. When rumors of various terrible events appeared, and even when people personally witnessed horrifying and bloody moments, no one could remain calm.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"

In this city, there were many Memory Retrievers, but no one knew exactly how many.

After all, one couldn't tell from appearances whether a person was an Amnesiac or a Memory Retriever.

However, there were some details.

For example, the card ring on their finger.

But ordinary Amnesiacs also wore these, especially women, who always wore rings to decorate themselves.

"Just now, in the shopping mall across the street, someone with a knife chopped off the fingers of more than a dozen people. The ground was covered in severed fingers. It's obvious they're coming for us," one Memory Retriever said, his face filled with fear.

These Memory Retrievers knew better than anyone how important card rings were to them.

"Who are those murderers?"

"I don't recognize them, and I've never seen them before, but it's certain that they're extremely strong. Their speed and physique far exceed ordinary people. I think they're at least Elite C-rank."

"That powerful?"

"Could it be a feud between two Memory Retriever factions, or a struggle for benefits?"

"We can't rule out that possibility, but I don't think so. They seem to be targeting all Memory Retrievers."

"That's unlikely, isn't it?"

"Who knows? Anyway, for safety's sake, let's hide our card rings first. If we don't have card rings, no one will know we're Memory Retrievers."

Several people immediately took off their rings.

At that moment, they felt a sense of relief on their faces.

As if they suddenly felt much safer.

But just then, the glass door was pushed open, and two people carrying knives walked in.

One guarded the door, while the other walked straight towards them.

These Memory Retrievers immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Without any unnecessary words, the person with the knife directly attacked.

Like a tiger descending from the mountain, his speed, strength, and explosiveness were obviously several times stronger than those Memory Retrievers.

The result was naturally no surprise.

These Memory Retrievers were all knocked down, and the card rings they had hidden were also searched out.

Originally, after wearing the card ring, Memory Retrievers could more or less gain some physical enhancement, but these few chose to hide their card rings, so they lost the card ring's enhancement, and as a result, they were no match for their opponents and had no power to resist.

After that, there was a terrifying and despairing massacre.

The normal customers in the coffee shop were all frightened and ran out screaming. After all, who could stand this?

Beheading someone in front of their faces, that bloody scene, the timid might faint directly from fright, and even the brave would scramble and crawl, wishing they had two more legs.

Before their deaths, the Memory Retrievers felt more confusion than fear.

They had already hidden their card rings, so how did these two people know they were Memory Retrievers?

"The Memory Retrievers on the Riviera Business Center side have all been killed. Let [Hawkeye] announce the target of the next area," the Eternal Society member carrying the machete wiped the blood off the knife on the corpse. He was holding a very strange phone in his hand.

It looked like a conch shell.

If you looked closely, it really was a conch shell.

Soon, a voice came from the conch shell.

"You go to the nearby Nanrui residential area. There are some Memory Retrievers hiding there, but you need to identify them yourself. [Hawkeye] is also very busy!"

"Understood."

This Eternal Society member didn't waste any words and put away the conch shell.

They were all elites of the Eternal Society, each of whom had collected a complete set of professional cards as Memory Retrievers.

The physical benefits brought by the card rings alone were incomparable to ordinary Memory Retrievers. Coupled with the abilities granted by the professional cards, they could definitely crush other Memory Retrievers in terms of combat power.

Just two people could form a killing squad.

"We should have done this a long time ago. Robbing and killing are the fastest ways to strengthen ourselves," the Memory Retriever held several card rings in his hand, and then took out several cards from his own card ring.

[Violent Unlock].

This kind of card was quite rare, and its effect was also very simple, which was to violently crack the card rings of other Memory Retrievers. However, after using this card, the card ring would be destroyed, but all the cards inside could be taken out.

The two Memory Retrievers walked and divided the spoils.

"A bunch of poor ghosts, they're all garbage cards, not many good things," one person couldn't help but curse while checking the spoils.

"It doesn't matter, we can earn some more or less. If we're lucky, we can also get some rare cards. Even if it's just one, we'll make a big profit." The two walked on the road as if no one else was there. A car came over behind them, and because the two were blocking the way, they couldn't pass, so they honked their horns wildly.

The sound kept ringing.

The two frowned, then walked over, smashed the car window, dragged the driver out, and stabbed him to death several times.

"Cool ~"

"This feeling of arbitrarily dominating other people's fate is very addictive."

"However, we still have to focus on the main task. Wei Si's order is to kill all Memory Retrievers, so don't put your energy on ordinary Amnesiacs. After our Eternal Society cleans up the entire city, we will be the ones standing at the top of the pyramid."

"Wait a minute!" One of the two noticed something at this time and turned to look at an alley next to them. Over there, a person was walking over.

Obviously, it was a Memory Retriever.

The card ring on the other person's finger had no intention of being concealed or hidden.

"Memory Retriever, hehe, he's offering himself up." One person carrying a knife was about to go over.

The companion next to him immediately pulled him back.

"Are you crazy from killing people? Look carefully, that's someone from the Society."

"Someone from our Eternal Society?" The one who was about to attack was stunned for a moment. After taking a closer look, he noticed that next to the finger wearing the card ring, the other person was also wearing a skull ring. He immediately smiled and said, "It really is!"

This kind of skull ring is a kind of identity verification for members of the Eternal Society.

This ring was made by [Jeweler], an elder-level member of the Eternal Society. It is a card tool, and after obtaining it, it will not disappear with the reset of the cycle day.

Some members of the Eternal Society know each other, and some have never met at all.

But after joining the Eternal Society, they will all be given such a [Skull Ring] by the person who developed them.

The meaning of the skull ring is 'death', and to some extent, death is eternal.

This is very in line with the philosophy of the Eternal Society.

Moreover, it is said that this authentication method was collectively agreed upon by the elders who founded the Eternal Society.

Members of the Eternal Society who do not know each other can use this [Skull Ring] to confirm each other's identity.

As for whether this [Skull Ring] will fall into the hands of non-Eternal Society members, this possibility also exists, but it is unlikely, because the Eternal Society is the most powerful of the many Memory Retriever organizations, without exception. Joining the Eternal Society requires layers of assessment, and can only be joined after meeting the standards in all aspects.

The simplest example is that a mandatory standard for the Eternal Society to recruit new members is that they must be Memory Retrievers who have already obtained a set of professional cards.

This alone can keep 80 to 90 percent of Memory Retrievers out.
