Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi abruptly opened his eyes, reached for his fully charged phone beside him, and checked the time: July 29th, Monday, 6:09 AM.

The cycle of the third Day of Confinement had begun.

The room was quiet.

Luo Xi got out of bed and went to check on his mom in the next room.

The room was empty.

Clearly, Xu Lin had left to carry out another task that he, or his past self, had arranged.

"Why would I, myself, arrange a hidden agent to monitor myself?"

Having shaken off the madness and chaos of the Cleaner, Luo Xi finally began to truly think about the problem; it was clear that there were more problems to investigate and solve.

"It's also possible it's to lure out the people from 'Eternal Assembly'. If that's the case, then the people from Eternal Assembly have actually been watching me for a long time... perhaps not just here, but also at the company. There might be people watching me there too. Of course, it might not be a Reminiscent already present in the scene, but an outsider."

Luo Xi immediately identified a few people.

Luo Xi picked it up and looked.

He answered.

"Luo Xi, I'm coming to find you."

It was Wu Rui.

"First, go to Tun Tun Elementary School and pick up Wang Shuting. Uh, if it's too early, then don't go to the school, go to her home, Building 8 in that residential area, the one that burned down. If you go at this time, that scene shouldn't be active yet, so there won't be any danger. Pick up Wang Shuting without hesitation and immediately take her to Mao Ge's house," Luo Xi instructed.

"Okay," Wu Rui didn't ask any further questions.

Just as he hung up the phone.

Guo Zening's phone call came in.

Luo Xi answered and immediately heard the other's anxious voice.

"Luo Xi, Luo Xi, I want to come find you, but I don't dare to take the subway anymore. I might as well take a taxi. Are you still home? Listen to me, ah, I'm so fed up with it all, you don't know what I encountered on the subway before, it's driving me crazy, damn it, damn, sob sob, sob sob sob sob~"

As he spoke, he actually started crying.

And it was the kind of crying that was loud and unrestrained, while crying, he cursed and shouted hysterically.

Guo Zening clearly belonged to the type who, after experiencing something that caused him to break down and go crazy, was experiencing an outburst of fear and suppressed emotions. He needed to release it, and shouting, crying, and cursing were all very effective means of venting.

So Luo Xi didn't interrupt the other's venting, but Mao Ge called, Luo Xi simply answered Mao Ge's call, instructed Mao Ge to immediately go to 809 to check on the situation there, and also told him to be careful. He also said that Wu Rui would be bringing a girl to his house later, and asked him to treat her well. After that, he hung up the phone.

And over here on the phone, Guo Zening, having finished venting, was obviously much calmer.

"Let's talk about what happened on the subway when we meet. After you hang up the phone, call Mao Ge, ask for the address, and take a taxi to his place. Let's meet at Mao Ge's house later. Right now, Mao Ge's house is a safe zone."

After Luo Xi gave some instructions, he hung up the phone.

Of the people who came out of the first level scene, only Zhang Yanan hadn't called.

This meant that she had indeed died in the bus explosion.

And then lost her memory.

On the new cycle day, the other party would forget everything that had happened before, and then happily get up, go to work, experience the level scene designed by Lao Wang, and then be killed by the Cleaner Feng Kai...

Again and again, it was like a death cycle that couldn't be escaped at all.

Perhaps on a certain cycle day, Zhang Yanan would once again become a Reminiscent in that level scene, but for most people, becoming a Reminiscent only doubled the pain and despair they endured.

With a flip of his hand, Luo Xi took out his [Card Ring], materialized it, and wore it on his finger.

Bang~

After a snap of his fingers, that bizarre card book with six crowded faces on the cover appeared in his hand.

He opened it and looked. There were already quite a few cards stored inside, but in reality, it was still far from the card book's capacity of 999.

Luo Xi clearly had OCD. He completely stored the cards by category and page, so he could make sure that he could find the card he needed as soon as possible.

First, he looked at [Memory].

This type of card was the most numerous that he currently possessed.

And in the Day of Confinement, this was also the commonly recognized currency among Reminiscent, which could be used to exchange different types of cards with other Reminiscent.

Flipping through the card book.

Luo Xi's finger touched two [Mana] cards, and behind the Mana, there was a [Exorcism].

The reason for putting these three cards together was because the [Exorcism] card required two [Mana] to activate. Although Luo Xi hadn't used it yet, he estimated that the effect and power of this card shouldn't be bad.

Further back was the newbie gift pack card that Luo Xi had obtained after becoming a Reminiscent, [Ebbinghaus's Pen]. This card could be seen as two [Memory].

"As far as I know, every Amnesiac, after randomly obtaining the identity of a Reminiscent in their initial scene due to an insufficient number of Reminiscent in the scene, will receive a newbie gift pack, which is to obtain a card. However, it seems that some people have obtained two. And this initial card is different for each person. Then, there are two possibilities, one is randomly generated, and the other is fixed, that is to say, a person will obtain a fixed type of card after passively becoming a Reminiscent..."

The latest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Luo Xi muttered to himself. There was a small mirror on his table, and at this moment, in the mirror, there were several sinister figures.

"And after reaching the initial clearance scene three times, they will obtain their exclusive [Card Ring] numbered 099. The card ring can be materialized into a card book, the types of card books vary, and basically, they all have 'characteristics' exclusive to the card book. For example, my card book currently has two characteristics, one is to combine and transform any two cards into a card numbered 041, [Lie]; and the other is an invisible card that exists directly in the card book, numbered 016, [Absolute Reason]."

"Then, these are the two known ways to 'create' cards. In the Day of Confinement, are there other ways to 'create' cards? If so, what are they? If not, can that card numbered 000 that Hao Xiuwen mentioned also only be produced from these two ways?"

Luo Xi rubbed his face.

This action seemed to give him some sense of relaxation.

"But if that's the case, other than the corresponding person and the corresponding card book, it's almost impossible for others to obtain the [Escape] card numbered 000. If this card is the key to escaping the Day of Confinement, then the vast majority of people have no chance to escape this place."

"And according to the known rules of the Day of Confinement, fairness, equivalent exchange, etc., this possibility definitely doesn't exist, because in that case, unless you have heaven-defying luck, it's absolutely impossible to obtain 000."

"So, there must be other ways to obtain cards, this is the only logical thing to think, at least, there are definitely other ways to obtain the card numbered 000..."

Luo Xi was flipping through his card book at this time. At this moment, the card book was floating in the air, as if it had some kind of anti-gravity device. Luo Xi had tried it, after summoning the card book, even if he ran, jumped, or moved quickly, the card book would move with him at a relative speed.

Very magical.

His finger brushed past [Remove Curse], [Reason], [Kurapika's Chain Sword], [Bloodstained Iron Hammer], and finally landed on his [Ebbinghaus's Pen], drawing out the card and carefully examining it.

"Hermann Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist, born in Barmen, Germany. In 1890, he co-founded the Journal of Psychology and Physiology of the Senses. He devoted his life to experimental psychological research on memory and published the book On Memory in 1885."

"So, is this a coincidence? Why is my initial card [Ebbinghaus's Pen]? Why is it named after a psychologist?"

Luo Xi looked at the card in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Assuming this isn't a coincidence, but a written 'script', or a 'program', that is to say, after I become a Reminiscent, I will inevitably obtain this card, then this card must have a special meaning."

At this time, Luo Xi turned his head, got up, and walked towards the bookcase in his room.

Modern people like to have a bookcase when decorating, filled with all kinds of books, even if they never look at them.

This is a symbol, a decoration.

But Luo Xi was different.

He had really read the books inside.

At least that's how he remembers it, he can even take out any book and open to any page and recite it.

His bookcase was very old, with cabinet doors and inlaid with glass, wiped very clean. After opening the bookcase door, a special smell of book pages would come out.

Luo Xi liked this smell very much.

The bookcase was very deep, and the books inside were like some kind of precious collection. Luo Xi reached out and probed, pulling out the book Memory.

But after Luo Xi took the book, he was stunned.

His expression was extremely strange.

Because the Memory in his hand was very new, it was the kind of new book that hadn't even been opened since it was bought.
