Day of Imprisonment

#67 - The Power of Cards

Luo Xi had read a portion of this diary before.

And he stopped at the most crucial page.

Because the conditions at the time were not suitable for him to continue reading this terrifying diary; the timing wasn't right, and he didn't have the ability to resist any 'curse'.

Originally, Luo Xi planned to find another opportunity to read it when he went to Mao Ge's house this time, which is Sega Apartment.

But plans can't keep up with changes. In this situation, if he can't get through the second survival time, he will also die in this level scene. This would cause many of his originally set plans to be postponed to the next cycle day.

Since he's going to use this diary sooner or later, why not do it now?

The diary was found on the blood-stained bed of Zhou Xinpeng's daughter, Zhou Ya, the Sega Apartment manager.

At the time, the diary was pressed under Zhou Ya's body.

You really couldn't find it without moving her.

This is a card tool, characterized by being able to be cardized or materialized.

It's just a pity that it's not a numbered card.

But in terms of efficacy, it shouldn't be bad.

"Today's mood is like the weather outside, gloomy. This morning, I accidentally broke Mom's favorite vase. At that moment, my heart also shattered into millions of pieces with a 'bang'. The fragments of the vase were scattered on the ground, just like my mood at the moment, chaotic and disorderly. When Dad came back and saw this scene, his face became very serious. He first asked me what happened, and I stammered, my voice as small as a mosquito. Dad criticized me very angrily.

Listening, tears welled up in my eyes. I know I was wrong, but I still feel so sad, as if a large stone is pressing on me, making it hard to breathe. I lowered my head, not daring to look into Dad's eyes, only feeling a sour feeling in my heart, so sad."

"Today after school, I should have started my homework immediately, but the temptation of cartoons was too great, and I couldn't help but secretly take out my tablet and hide in my room to watch. Time passed minute by minute, and I completely forgot about my homework.

It wasn't until Dad knocked on the door and came in that I hurriedly hid the tablet, pretending to be looking for something. But Dad's eyes already told me that he knew everything. He questioned me sternly, and I couldn't hear what he was saying at all, only feeling scared and guilty.

I was severely scolded, and I felt extremely sad. I returned to my room, looking at the blank homework book, feeling like the whole world had collapsed. I knew I had done wrong again, not only did I not finish my homework, but I also lied to Dad. Tears streamed down uncontrollably, and I hugged my knees and cried."

"I have a friend, her name is Wei Si. I don't know who gave her this strange name. I asked her, and she said she gave it to herself. Look, how strange she is. Who names themselves?"

"When I'm in pain, Wei Si is always with me, playing with me, talking to me. I told her that I'm very depressed and in pain, and she said, then you can go die. If you die, you won't have so many worries."

"I don't know why, but I think Wei Si is right. Maybe if I die, Dad won't be so angry, and I won't be scolded anymore."

Many pages behind are blank, with only bloodstains of varying depths. Turning to the back, there are suddenly words, but unlike the neat writing before, the writing here is messy and clearly scratched with some kind of resentment and hatred.

"She's right, death is a good thing, so die with me."

Seeing this page, Luo Xi clearly felt a chill, as if many cold, slippery insects suddenly appeared in his clothes, crawling all over his back and neck.

In addition, he felt like he was carrying some kind of heavy burden, and his whole body sank down.

Then there was a stinging sensation.

Like something sharp piercing the skin, very painful.

"This is the curse?"

Luo Xi felt a little breathless, accompanied by pain and an indescribable oppression. Various crazy sounds seemed to ring in his ears. It felt like several madmen were laughing and talking nonsense next to your ears.

The temperature in the room also seemed to drop a lot at this moment.

Some kind of eerie power began to spread.

A cry of surprise broke the brief silence.

"Damn it, Luo Ju, what happened to your hair?"

Qian Lejin suddenly shouted like a frightened little girl.

He was really scared.

Because when he suddenly turned his head, he saw that Luo Xi, who originally had short hair, now had long, black hair draped over his shoulders.

The scariest thing was that the black hair was still growing wildly.

The others also noticed this situation and were equally stunned. Luo Xi bent over and lowered his head, without any reaction. His hair continued to grow wildly, already dragging on the ground, and then began to spread around.

The two beasts, the wolf and the tiger, had never seen this before, and were equally terrified. They both tried to hide as far back as possible, but the room area was limited. When they retreated to the corner and had nowhere to retreat, they could only roar louder, showing their fangs to warn.

But, the hair was not afraid of them.

The next second, the hair split into two directions and wrapped around the wolf and the tiger.

These two beasts couldn't dodge at all, and there was nowhere to dodge. In the blink of an eye, they were wrapped up by the hair, and then more hair submerged them.

Only a few strange cracking sounds were heard.

The struggles and low roars ceased. From the outside, the two beasts had become twisted braids.

Anyone who saw this scene knew that both the tiger and the wolf were dead.

Moreover, they must have died very miserably.

Plop.

Qian Lejin knelt on the ground and began to kowtow for mercy: "Luo Ju, I'm your man, please spare me. I'll do whatever you want me to do in the future, really. I, Qian Lejin, swear that from now on, Luo Ju, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to kill a dog, I will never slaughter a chicken."

He kowtowed and swore.

He was obviously scared shitless.

There was no way, the room was already full of hair, the floor, the walls, and the ceiling. There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.

The other few people also followed suit, all kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

There was no way, it was too scary.

At this time, the door over there opened again, but because it was all hair, the others couldn't see if anything came in.

There should be.

They heard the roar of some kind of beast.

Very scary.

But what was even scarier was that the hair directly dragged the beast that came in at the door in, and then twisted it frantically. Finally, it seemed to be torn apart, and a large amount of blood flowed out of the dense hair, constantly dripping down. Even if the guys who dared to dance on graves saw this scene, they would piss their pants.

Time passed, but no one paid attention to what kind of beast would come in.

No, even man-eating tigers seemed more 'cute' than these black hairs that induced trypophobia.

A few minutes was like years.

Until a light appeared from the hair, the feeling of fear miraculously began to dissipate.

The dense black hair also began to wither. Touching it slightly would turn it into flying ash.

Qian Lejin mustered up the courage to look up and suddenly, his eyes widened.

He saw this scene.

The source of the light was a card in Luo Xi's hand. The card began to disintegrate in the light, and so did the surrounding hair. At this time, Qian Lejin vaguely saw a little girl lying on Luo Xi's back.

And the source of those hairs was actually this little girl. The little girl was very terrifying at first, like a vengeful ghost, with a chillingly vicious look on her face, but under the light of the disintegrating card, she seemed to return to normal.

Becoming a very cute and beautiful little girl.

"She should just be an elementary school student."

This scene only flashed by. Immediately afterwards, the hair disappeared, and the little girl was gone.

Only Luo Xi was still standing in place, and the room was filled with incomplete corpses of various beasts.

Tigers, wolves, brown bears, tigers...

Probably these, because most of them were crushed and torn into dozens of pieces by the hair. They were all bloody chunks of meat and limbs, so it was really hard to distinguish.

Luo Xi's body swayed at this time, obviously in very bad condition.

"[Curse Removal] wasn't used immediately because I needed to use the power brought by the curse to get through the second survival time. However, the side effects are too great. Unless necessary, I shouldn't read that diary again."

Luo Xi shook his head.

The power of the curse is to directly attract the terrifying vengeful ghost 'Zhou Ya'. The other party's resentment will kill the person who is cursed for reading the diary.

But Luo Xi controlled the time, using 'Absolute Rationality' to borrow the power of the curse to clean up those beasts. At the near tipping point, he used the [Curse Removal] he won from Lao Wang.

If he didn't have this card, Luo Xi knew he would definitely die.

"Ma Ling, ahead is the second floor room. There should be a door leading to the third floor room. Go and take a look, according to the previous method, mainly check the book catalog and the roulette. Qian Lejin, you go too, go in another direction." Luo Xi staggered and sat on the chair at this time. His face was pale, his lips were purple, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The after-effects of the curse were too strong.

He was very weak now, like he had just finished a marathon and hadn't had any water.

Fortunately, it was just physical fatigue and would not affect the brain's thinking and analysis.

This time, whether it was Qian Lejin or Ma Ling, or Han Lingling and Zhang Heng, who had luckily survived, they no longer had any objections to Luo Xi's words. It could be said that they did whatever Luo Xi said. It was as if in just a few minutes, they had all grown up, become sensible, and reasonable.
