Day of Imprisonment

No one stopped me when I left the school.

And at the school gate, Luo Xi didn't see that Teacher Liang either.

"She really isn't an ordinary administrator."

Luo Xi opened Wu Rui's car door, found a piece of clothing in the car, and tightly covered the wound on his neck.

The car keys were searched from Wu Rui's body.

Although it's not a good car, just the kind of basic transportation car worth thirty to fifty thousand yuan, it drives pretty well.

Luo Xi started the car and drove towards the company's location.

The journey was smooth, the traffic around five o'clock in the afternoon wasn't congested, and when he stopped at a red light, Luo Xi saw a ride-hailing car in the next lane. The driver's arms and face were tanned dark, and although he looked tired, it was clear he was still working hard.

"I'll be back late tonight, don't save me any food, I'll just grab a bite myself. There are a lot of orders today, much better than yesterday, so I want to drive a little longer."

The driver had his window open, wearing headphones and talking on the phone.

At this moment, the driver seemed to sense someone's gaze. He turned his head and saw in the car next to him, a pale-faced driver with a blood-stained piece of clothing wrapped around his neck, was looking at him.

"Hey, are you okay? Holy crap, you're bleeding."

The driver was startled.

But at this moment, the green light turned on, Luo Xi withdrew his gaze, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.

Luo Xi muttered to himself.

The car drove to the company.

In the distance, the setting sun reflected off the tall buildings. Luo Xi didn't delay, he went straight into the building and quickly walked into Room 104.

Old Wang inside was startled.

The old man was eating instant noodles, and this startle caused him to spill some soup on his clothes.

After seeing that it was Luo Xi, Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you know how to knock?"

"Then why don't you lock the door?"

Luo Xi retorted.

Old Wang then noticed Luo Xi's pale face, and the blood-stained clothing he was holding to his neck.

"You're injured?"

Luo Xi didn't answer, he unlocked his phone, opened a video, and handed it over.

Old Wang was stunned, then immediately reacted, realizing something. He put down the instant noodle bucket, casually wiped his hands on his clothes, and immediately took it and clicked on the video.

His expression was quite wonderful.

An emotion called 'love' filled Old Wang's face. The old man was instantly immersed in this video, as if he could be there in person through the video.

Even, looking at Wang Shuting on the screen, Old Wang unconsciously showed a smile, and even tried to reach out, wanting to touch his precious daughter.

But he was destined not to be able to touch her.

The video was about thirty seconds long, Old Wang watched it over and over again, seemingly never getting enough.

Luo Xi then took out something else.

A clay ashtray.

If you didn't subjectively believe it was an ashtray, most people who saw it wouldn't know what it was for.

Luo Xi handed the thing to Old Wang.

"It should have been fired and turned into porcelain, but you know, maybe this ashtray will never see the day it's fired."

Old Wang excitedly took it.

"Shuting made it?"

"Yes, she said you like to smoke, so she made this."

Old Wang couldn't stop the tears from falling.

What he held in his hands didn't seem to be a lump of clay, but a priceless treasure.

"Send me the video, and I'll consider the task I gave you completed."

Old Wang said at this time.

Add friends, send the video.

Old Wang took out the three cards.

"Choose one!"

Luo Xi looked at the three cards: [Mana], [Curse Removal], [Reason].

First of all, [Mana] was already excluded by him.

He already had two Mana cards, and having one more wouldn't make much difference. Moreover, in terms of practical value, it was definitely impossible to compare with the latter two cards.

Luo Xi wasn't in a hurry to choose, but said: "Old Wang, the building you live in caught fire, it should have been around noon today, the building is almost burned down."

It could be seen that Old Wang's eyelids twitched.

"Your daughter is lucky, their school just happened to have a social practice activity today, so they were able to escape this disaster. She is very cute, possessing the innocence and romance that children of this age have. She doesn't know what kind of terrible, fucked up world she is in."

"Luo Xi, what exactly do you want to say?" Old Wang narrowed his eyes, his face gloomy, with a hint of beast-like ferocity.

Luo Xi waved his hand: "Old Wang, don't misunderstand, I'm not threatening you, I'm just very curious. Is this world really fake?"

"What do you mean?" Old Wang was stunned.

"A fake world, but everyone I meet is incredibly real. In other words, the world is fake, but the people are real, but that in itself is very contradictory. Without land, where would the crops come from? In a fake environment, how could real humans be born?"

"..." Old Wang thought for a while, and then shook his head after a long time: "I can't answer this question, because I don't know either."

"Then are we real?" Luo Xi looked at Old Wang, because of blood loss, his face was terribly pale, and his eyes still had a kind of confusion, which made him look in very bad shape.

"I am real, and so is my daughter." Old Wang obviously couldn't produce evidence, but he still insisted on what he insisted on.

Even if there was no reason.

"I will find the answer to this question, whether the answer is what we expect or not." At this time, Luo Xi's confused eyes suddenly had focus again, becoming extremely firm: "So, within the scope allowed by the rules, Old Wang, I hope you can tell me everything you know, can you do it?"

"I..."

"Think clearly, are you going to be forever imprisoned in this room, watching your daughter's photos and videos to relieve your longing, but never see her, unable to hear her cry, hear her laugh, unable to hold her, stroke her hair? Oh right, as far as I know, the day of imprisonment is not immutable, and your daughter may not be able to escape the disaster every time. Perhaps now, she is in some kind of danger because she has nowhere to go, maybe she will be run over by a car while crossing the road... or maybe she will be targeted by human traffickers... or..."

"Shut your mouth!" Old Wang was furious, he almost rushed over like a madman, grabbed Luo Xi's neck, because of anger, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person looked like a hungry wolf about to eat people.

Luo Xi couldn't resist.

Although he was almost suffocated, he was still smiling.

Because he knew that Old Wang wouldn't dare to kill him.

Finally, Old Wang let go of Luo Xi.

He was angry, because he hadn't completely lost his mind yet.

"Let's get straight to the point, I need the [Curse Removal] and [Reason] cards, think of a way, how can you give me both of these cards within the scope allowed by the rules."

Luo Xi went around in a circle, and returned to the matter of the task reward.

At this time, Old Wang was close to collapse.

In a mirror in the room, the figure of Luo Xi was reflected, and among the several figures hidden in the darkness behind him, one couldn't help but applaud.

"Amazing, amazing, as expected of this guy, he wants more, but he makes others help you think of a way, what is this? Selling people, and still making them help you count the money, the most fucked up thing is that the other party is still willing."

"This is normal, just basic operations, don't forget, this guy is best at manipulating people's hearts, he is a devil."

"I can't stand it anymore, this poor father, may be played to death by this guy, according to the rules, if the other party says information that shouldn't be said, I'm afraid he will bear extremely serious consequences."

"Obviously, this guy is doing it on purpose, how could he care about the life and death of this poor father? As long as he can achieve his goal, he can abandon all pity."

"Brother, you are wrong, this guy doesn't know what pity is from the day he was born!"
