Day of Imprisonment

【Gift of the Gods】, a special item with the effect of mental scorching. If you can endure some discomfort and place it on your head, you can gain some special powers. For example, your strength will increase by 120%, you will have level two self-repair ability, and you will be able to see and smell extraordinary things. But please note, do not become addicted to it. If you wear it for more than three minutes cumulatively in a single cycle day, you will be doomed. Also, please note that the wearer of the gift cannot remove it themselves. So, do you have teammates around you?

Luo Xi briefly described the situation of the halo.

"The way to survive the 'Angel' is to endure the pain of mental scorching and tear off the God-given halo to eliminate the Angel and earn points. This is a correct way to safely pass this stage."

"Is that so? You can play it like this." Qian Lejin, who had just escaped death, was shocked and excited at this moment.

He knew very well that relying on himself, no matter how many times he came or how many times he died, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out the gameplay.

First of all, the idea of snatching the 'Angel's' halo was completely unimaginable to him.

"It's actually like this? If you think about it carefully, shouldn't this kind of thing have been discovered by other veterans by now? No, no, I'm falling into the fallacy of survivor bias. It's because I already know the result, so I think 'snatching the halo' is easy. If you are completely unaware, especially after experiencing the previous two survival times, ask yourself, who would think of snatching the 'Angel's' halo? Moreover, it's under the known circumstances that the Angel's combat power is extremely powerful, and, that thing also has a mental scorching effect..."

"No, that's not right, things are not that simple, I understand, it's not that no one can think of it, it's because of the appearance of these Angels, because they are too strange, they have even produced a power that affects thinking and reason. Normal people cannot think under this circumstance."

"But the question is, how can this guy think of it? Isn't he affected by these strange Angels?"

Yu Xiaoru observed the man opposite her, constantly thinking in her heart.

At this time, the fourth Angel descended. Its appearance was a huge eyeball with strange fleshy wings, about the size of three basketballs. The creepy feeling was even worse than the previous Squid Brother. Staring at this Angel made it easy to lose reason and even extremely difficult to think.

So after this Angel appeared, the others immediately looked away, not daring to look.

However, after knowing how to deal with the 'Angel', no matter what kind of Angel descended, the result was the same.

A survival time with an extremely high probability of death completely became a place to farm points at this moment.

"Time's up, help me tear it off." Luo Xi said to Qian Lejin at this time. The latter hurriedly stepped forward, enduring the severe pain brought by the mental scorching. Accompanied by shouts mixed with profanity, he finally tore off the gift from Luo Xi's head.

Luo Xi instantly became listless, his body swayed, and he almost sat on the ground. But even so, he didn't sit down, but tried to stand while holding onto the wall.

Wearing the gift was obviously not that easy.

The second person to wear the 【Gift】 was Fatty Qian.

After the latter put it on and calculated the three minutes, the next thing was to follow the steps, without any suspense. Except for the Angels appearing more and more terrifying and driving people crazy, when Han Lingling was about to tear off the gift from Fatty Qian's head, she was obviously not strong enough, or rather, she couldn't muster the strength needed to tear off the gift in the midst of great pain.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yu Xiaoru helped, which resolved a potential crisis.

Fatty Qian looked terrified. At this moment, he collapsed on the ground panting, but he still raised his head and said to Yu Xiaoru: "Xiaoru, I owe you one, Grandpa Qian will remember it, there's no saying, I will definitely repay you in the future."

And on the choice of the third person to wear the 【Gift】, Yu Xiaoru volunteered, saying let her do it.

The reason she gave was also very simple.

If Han Lingling wore it, then she would definitely not be able to tear off the gift by herself later, this is the difference in gender, size, and strength. But if she wore it, Han Lingling, plus the other two, it should be easier to tear off the gift.

"Okay."

Luo Xi nodded.

The others naturally had no objections.

"This person is their brain trust and leader, and I just heard them call each other. Ma Ling, who cracked the Rubik's Cube theory, is already dead. The ugly woman is called Han Lingling, the fatty is called Qian Lejin, so, this person is Luo Xi?"

Although Yu Xiaoru is a female student, she can become a middle-level cadre in the Awakener Association, she also has some skills.

Intelligence, courage, observation, and analytical skills are all not weak.

And after she put on the 【Gift】, she immediately felt the increase in that power, and at the same time felt the great pain, like being burned by flames, it hurt very much.

In addition, everything in front of her also underwent strange changes. In her eyes, the other Memory Pickers became some kind of strange human-shaped outline, and as they breathed, they gradually became clear and illusory. The surrounding environment was also a chaotic mess, as if she was in a dense fog.

And when she looked up, she suddenly found a glowing halo appearing and slowly falling.

It's an 'Angel', but in her eyes, apart from the halo, she couldn't see the Angel's appearance, but that's okay, saving her from having her thinking confused because the Angel's appearance was too terrifying and strange.

This is a very strange and bizarre vision.

She followed what the other party said before, using the power enhanced by the 【Gift】, pounced over, reached out and grabbed the halo, and then used all her strength to pull it down.

The process was still relatively difficult.

If she hadn't had her power blessed, Yu Xiaoru could be sure that relying on her own body's strength, she definitely wouldn't be able to tear this thing off.

"Almost there!"

This was Luo Xi's voice.

Obviously, after solving this Angel, the third survival time was over.

Next, Yu Xiaoru felt someone tearing at the halo on her head. The feeling was like a part of her body being held and then torn off forcefully.

Everything returned to normal.

After Yu Xiaoru regained her normal vision and hearing, she immediately felt a sense of powerlessness. She collapsed directly on the ground, and failed several times to get up.

Only then did she recall that Luo Xi had managed to remain standing in that state, albeit swaying unsteadily. His willpower was far stronger than hers.

“Yu Xiaoru, tell me everything you know about this checkpoint scene. I need to warn you, if you conceal anything or lie, I will kill you immediately.” Luo Xi walked over, still dragging the blood-stained iron hammer, exuding a wild aura.

“Detecting lies, I understand, but how can you know if I'm hiding something?” Yu Xiaoru asked curiously.

“This is entirely based on subjective judgment,” Luo Xi said frankly.

Yu Xiaoru was stunned for a couple of seconds before she reacted. She became anxious: “You mean, if you think I'm hiding something, you'll kill me?”

“That's right!” Luo Xi nodded.

Unwilling to accept this, Yu Xiaoru looked at the other two. Han Lingling had been staring at the angels and was now mentally scattered and dazed, so she couldn't be relied on. Qian Lejin, the fatty, was still loyal. He said, “Xiaoru, if it were anything else, your big brother would gladly take a knife for you, but Luo Ju is asking you, so you better tell the truth, or he might ask me to stab you a couple of times, which would put me in a very difficult position.”

“Heh!” Yu Xiaoru sneered: “Actually, the Tun Tun Bookstore is a relatively well-known checkpoint scene among the Reminiscers. In the past cycles, many veteran Reminiscers have challenged it, and based on various pieces of information, achieving the condition one clear is extremely difficult. No one has succeeded so far. However, there is a lot of information about the three types of survival time.”

“Three types?” Luo Xi interrupted: “Evil spirits, beasts, and angels?”

“Yes?” Yu Xiaoru nodded: “Although the entire checkpoint scene lasts 90 minutes, with a total of six rest periods and six survival times, the types of survival time are only the three we've experienced before.”

“Xiaoru, are you saying that the next survival time will jump back to the evil spirit question-and-answer segment?” Qian Lejin couldn't help but ask.

Yu Xiaoru shook her head: “It's not like that. Except for the first three survival times, which follow the order of evil spirits, beasts, and angels, from the fourth time onwards, it becomes random. Any one of the three types of scenes may appear. Moreover, the fourth, fifth, and sixth survival times seem to be randomly generated each time. That is to say, if you're lucky, the remaining three times could all be evil spirits, but if you're unlucky, you might encounter three times of angels!”

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

Hearing this, the fat on Qian Lejin's face visibly trembled.

He didn't want to experience the 'angel' time again. Mainly because they could no longer use [God's Gift]. The card clearly stated that the cumulative wearing of the gift within a single cycle day cannot exceed three minutes.

Before, only Yu Xiaoru wore it for less than half a minute, but he and Luo Xi had already approached three minutes.

Even 'beasts' were risky.

Who could beat a tiger now?

Qian Lejin wasn't a newbie who didn't understand anything. Although Luo Xi had used some powerful card before to summon terrifying hair to strangle all the beasts that appeared within ten minutes, the cards within the Day of Confinement followed a principle of 'fairness'. That is, the more powerful it is, the more restrictions it has.

[Gift] can only be used for three minutes in a single cycle day. That hair was probably about the same. Anyway, Qian Lejin didn't believe Luo Xi could use it again.

Of course, this was just his guess. Only Luo Xi knew the truth.

Only the evil spirit question-and-answer was the easiest to pass. As long as the few of them were of one mind and didn't have a traitor, it was basically guaranteed.

But what was the probability of drawing the evil spirit question-and-answer all three times?

“The probability of drawing evil spirits all three times…” Qian Lejin counted on his fingers, but his brain was blank.

Yu Xiaoru had already said, “It's one in twenty-seven. The probability is too small.”

This probability was indeed too small. It was impossible to pin hopes on luck.

Qian Lejin had no solutions at all.

He looked at Luo Xi.

“I wonder what Luo Ju will choose, or rather, does he have a plan?”

“That's all I know. This scene itself is extremely difficult. Even veteran players who come in have to be prepared to die, after all, no one can guarantee that they'll have heaven-defying luck or find a way to clear it. Because even the condition two clear requires finding all the members of the opposing team during the scene game and killing them all, which is also an extremely difficult thing in itself.”

As soon as Yu Xiaoru finished speaking, Luo Xi suddenly asked, “What are the names of the other two people with you?”

She hesitated for a moment, but still said, “One is called An Zhiyan, and the other is Aunt Qin.”

“Tell me An Zhiyan's phone number.”

Before Luo Xi could finish speaking, a cell phone rang. Yu Xiaoru reached into her pocket and took out a shiny cell phone covered with various cartoon stickers.

“It's Sister An calling. Can I answer it?” She looked at Luo Xi charmingly.

“Give me the phone!” Luo Xi reached out and took it, then pressed the answer button.

“Xiaoru, where are you? What happened just now?” A woman's voice on the other end of the phone was anxious.

“An Zhiyan, Yu Xiaoru is with us. I need you to do something now.” Luo Xi interrupted her.

“Who are you? I warn you…” An Zhiyan's voice turned cold.

“If you talk nonsense again, I'll skin her alive, after taking all her cards, of course.”

“…” An Zhiyan was full of murderous intent, but she forcibly suppressed her anger: “What do you want me to do?”

“Take pictures of the room you're in and the books around that lead to the room, and send them to this phone immediately. Be quick, if you don't send them within a minute, I'll skin her alive.”

“You…”

Without waiting for her to speak, Luo Xi hung up the phone.

Then he said to the others, “Scaring her can save a lot of time.”

“Do you have another plan?” Yu Xiaoru didn't care. She could tell that Luo Xi wouldn't really skin her.

“Yes, if everything goes smoothly, we can clear this round before the survival time arrives.”

“What did you say? Clear?” Yu Xiaoru's eyes widened. Qian Lejin, and even Han Lingling, who had been dazed, came back to their senses and looked at Luo Xi.

“Yes, clear, and clear by achieving condition one!”
