Day of Imprisonment

#62 - Psychological Game

At this moment, Qian Lejin resembled a furious brown bear.

He was practically gnashing his teeth, completely convinced that Liu Hao, Han Lingling, and Zhang Hengzhong, or perhaps all of them together, had taken the bullets from the hunting rifle and selfishly hidden them.

"Brother Qian, I... I really don't know. I was over there just now, with my back to the drawer. I really don't know. It definitely wasn't me," Liu Hao hurriedly said, directly shifting the suspicion onto the other two.

"Damn it, it wasn't me either! Who the hell did I offend? Sure, I usually like to brag and act tough, but I would never do anything that harms others for my own benefit. Besides, everyone knows that having bullets right now would benefit our team. Would I be crazy enough to hide them?" Zhang Heng also shouted, his eyes wide, looking angry and aggrieved.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't take them either. I really don't know," Han Lingling was on the verge of tears.

She was probably introverted due to her looks since she was young, and at this moment, she clenched her fists anxiously.

"Damn it, are you all pretending to be innocent here? I just want to ask, if you didn't take them, who did? Did the bullets grow legs and run away on their own? Or did I take them and deliberately not tell you? Deliberately frame you?" Qian Lejin was practically roaring, spitting everywhere.

It was normal for him to be agitated.

After all, the hunting rifle in his hand was a genuine weapon of mass destruction. If there were bullets, their attack power and survivability would directly jump to a higher level.

You should know that in the checkpoint scenes of the Day of Imprisonment, you could lose your life with the slightest carelessness.

Therefore, small bullets could be a matter of life and death.

How could he not be anxious?

"No, are you just assuming we took them?" Zhang Heng frowned, feeling equally indignant.

"Dare you say you didn't take them?"

The loud noise just now was from the hammer breaking the bookshelf.

And under the bookshelf, there was a strange device.

A metal wheel with a handle.

Instantly, everyone was stunned.

"The hunting rifle is a trap set by the scene administrator, a kind of psychological game. Qian Lejin, stop looking. There are no bullets in this room at all. The administrator is using this trap to sow discord, causing rifts within the team or even infighting. Even if they don't achieve their goal, they can waste our time."

Luo Xi stared at the wheel, his brow furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

The others reacted.

After thinking carefully, they all suddenly understood.

"Sowing discord, there really is such a possibility."

"So, that woman is so insidious."

Qian Lejin looked at the hunting rifle in his hand. Even without bullets, he planned to carry the gun with him.

Who knows when he might find bullets? When that time comes, hehe~

As for Zhang Heng, that old fox, he also had a grudge in his heart, guessing that the other party had the same idea, because the way the other party looked at him was also unkind.

Qian Lejin walked over, looked at the wheel hidden in a bookshelf, and asked curiously, "Luo Ju, what is this?"

"Something that can get us through."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, he stood up and started to stretch his body.

"Get ready, the first round of survival time is about to begin."

"Xiao An, that woman named Qiu Kui is really insidious. She actually thought of using a gun without bullets to scheme against the Reminiscers who enter the scene. If we hadn't been here before, we might have been tricked by her," Aunt Qin said, looking at the gun in her hand, then throwing it aside.

A gun without bullets is just a stick, and the kind that is not easy to use.

Beside her, An Zhiyan smiled: "That's just a trick. For us, this kind of thought trap and sowing discord is meaningless. But I have to say, Qiu Kui's checkpoint scene is very high-level and very difficult. Someone has cleared the level before, but they can only meet condition two. So far, no one has been able to achieve condition one and obtain that number 077 card."

Behind her, the petite Xiao Ru smiled: "This time, we are here for that number 077. And I believe in you, Sister An, you will definitely be able to lead us to achieve condition one."

"I will try my best." An Zhiyan said, but her thoughts returned to the last cycle day when Lin Yixuan suddenly found her and asked her to challenge the Tun Tun Bookstore checkpoint scene at the beginning of the next cycle day.

"Lin Yixuan, so you already know how to攻略that scene?" An Zhiyan's expression was a little excited when she heard the other party's words.

As long as they are Reminiscers in this city, they all know the 'Tun Tun Bookstore' checkpoint scene.

And the reason why that place is famous is that completing condition one can obtain the number 077 card [Horadric Cube]

"Almost, but at least it's worth a try." Lin Yixuan still showed a calm expression, as if he had everything under control.

"Why don't you go?" An Zhiyan asked with a hint of suspicion.

"I have more important things to do, and I don't want to let others go for this kind of key numbered card. After all, my analysis can only be used as a reference, and I still need to improvise on the spot based on the actual situation. I guess in the association, besides me, only you can do it." Lin Yixuan looked sincere.

"That more important thing, can you talk about it?" An Zhiyan had her own focus.

"I won't tell others if they ask, but if you ask, I can. I'm going to Diyuan Siyong Pigeon Supermarket to buy some... useful things!" Lin Yixuan smiled, but his words made An Zhiyan's pupils shrink.

She obviously knew what the Diyuan Siyongge Supermarket was.

She had only heard of that place, but had never been there. There were very few rumors about it, only that it was extremely dangerous.

"I understand. On the next cycle day, I will bring people to攻略 'Tun Tun Bookstore' as soon as possible. So, what is your analysis result?"

"The Turntable!" Lin Yixuan smiled, reaching out to draw a circle: "The Turntable is the key to achieving Condition One for clearing the level. I know that sometimes the Turntable can be turned, sometimes it can't be turned, and sometimes it's completely irregular. Moreover, turning the Turntable doesn't seem to do anything, but if I haven't deduced it incorrectly, turning the Turntable will change the room number!"

"What?" An Zhiyan's eyes widened.

"Come and see!" Lin Yixuan then took out something.

"A Rubik's Cube?" An Zhiyan recognized this thing.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

"Yes, a Rubik's Cube. I believe that the rooms in Tun Tun Bookstore are essentially a Rubik's Cube. Or rather, the room where the Reminiscence Players are located is a block of this Rubik's Cube. The Turntable is a device used to move the rooms."

"But, how does this count as clearing Condition One?" An Zhiyan couldn't figure it out.

"Tell me, how many blocks are there in a Rubik's Cube?"

"Three by three, three layers in total, so 27."

"No, it's 26, because the middle axis is not a face and will never be seen. However, the rooms in Tun Tun Bookstore cannot be completely copied according to the operation mode of a Rubik's Cube, so it can also be understood as 27. Then, numbering the 27 rooms, there will of course be room number 23!"

"Ah, so that's how it is!" An Zhiyan was shocked, with disbelief in her eyes, but soon after thinking about it, she became pleasantly surprised: "Yes, that's the only way to explain it. So, as long as you enter room 23, you can clear the level."

"But in reality, the rooms are changing, so I can't say for sure now whether the numbering refers to the room or the location. If it's the room, it's simple. Just keep marking the rooms you've entered in the six cycles, and then enter the rooms you haven't entered. Even if it's a gamble, you should be able to find it. But I don't think it's that simple, so number 23 should refer to a specific location, which means that you must move the room you are in to that 23rd location to clear the level."

Hearing this, An Zhiyan's scalp tingled, but she was extremely excited.

Because she felt that Lin Yixuan's speculation was very likely to be true. If this was the case, then she wouldn't need to rush around like a headless fly anymore. She only needed to find a way to move the rooms and locate the position, and find a way to decipher the room number, to achieve the clearing of Condition One.

"Although I know this, I still need to observe in practice and adapt to the situation. So, I'll leave this matter to you." Lin Yixuan was still very calm, even though he had almost solved the clearing method of Tun Tun Bookstore with his own ability, he was still calm and composed.

"I understand, Lin Yixuan, this is the you I know. Calm, powerful, the strongest person here who is most likely to break the confinement." An Zhiyan said very sincerely, obviously this is what she thought in her heart.

Lin Yixuan didn't react to An Zhiyan's praise. He just said lightly: "Then, I look forward to your good news!"

Xiaoru and Aunt Qin were still talking back and forth.

In another part of the room, three corpses were lying there, each with wide eyes, their expressions terrifying.

They were the other three Reminiscence Players in the Blue Team.

The moment the room door closed and they were about to start, they were directly killed by Aunt Qin.

Obviously, this was something they had discussed long ago.

No matter who joins their team, it means death.

Rather than teaming up with untrustworthy Reminiscence Players, it is better to nip any potential dangers in the bud as soon as possible.

"They are so pitiful. If it weren't for the special mechanism of this instance scene that generates monsters at a certain stage, there would be no need to kill them." Xiaoru sighed.

"Girl, stop pretending to be compassionate. Who was cheering me on just now? But we have our rules. Before killing anyone, I made it clear to them. And I didn't take the cards from them. At most, I just used a [Memory] card. Actually, I didn't want to kill them either."

"Ha, I remember that one of them cried and begged, saying that he didn't have any [Memory] cards left, but Aunt Qin, you still killed him."

"So I gave him a quick death. For people like them, retaining their memories would only increase their pain. I'm doing a good deed." Aunt Qin was very serious.

An Zhiyan didn't say anything at this time. She squatted in the corner, looking at the Turntable hidden in the special bookshelf that Aunt Qin had smashed open, her expression very solemn.

"The rotation rule of the room numbering encoding turntable. If we regard this place as a third-order Rubik's Cube, first, we must determine the initial position here."

At this moment, the electronic clock on the wall counted down the last ten seconds of the five-minute countdown.

At the same time, a broadcast sounded.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"Aunt Qin, then I'll leave it to you!" Xiaoru gave Aunt Qin, who was tall and muscular, a very elegant Western-style curtsy, and then she whispered: "Magic!"

A beautiful card album appeared in her hand.

Like an expensive commodity displayed in the window of a luxury store, it had exquisite embroidery and seemingly priceless gems on it.

Then she took out a card from it and materialized a pink umbrella, covering herself and An Zhiyan under the umbrella.
