Day of Imprisonment

Half an hour ago, at the Tun Tun Bookstore, Room 23.

Everyone else had left, and at this moment, only Luo Xi and Qiu Kui remained in the room.

And Han Lingling's corpse.

Luo Xi was still sitting in the chair, unmoved, and Qiu Kui had no intention of asking him to leave.

The two of them seemed to have reached a tacit understanding at some point.

Qiu Kui raised her hand and waved.

The lights in the room immediately began to dim, and eventually, it became so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything around.

Then, a strange thing happened.

In the blurred, dim shadows, some strange noises seemed to emanate, gradually increasing in volume, but quickly disappearing.

It was as if something had simply passed by.

The lights returned.

It was still Room 23, nothing had changed, but Han Lingling's body on the floor was gone.

Even the blood on the floor had vanished without a trace.

Luo Xi broke the silence at this moment: "Was that your employee just now?"

Qiu Kui sat beside him, crossing her long, beautiful legs, and looked at Luo Xi: "I thought you didn't want to talk."

After speaking, she smiled and glanced around: "Such a big store, I can't possibly take care of it all by myself, of course I have employees, and you've seen quite a few."

"Evil spirits, beasts, or angels?" Luo Xi asked.

"Some are external hires, cooperative relationships… What, are you starting to get interested in these things again?" Qiu Kui's words were clearly filled with a certain 'probing' and 'guidance'.

"I used to come here often to buy books, right?" Luo Xi intended to steer the conversation.

"Heh, that's a very formal way of putting it. You used to… Oh, I almost forgot, there are some things I can't tell you, after all, my status is different now. I earn more, so of course, there are more rules," Qiu Kui said something inexplicable, perhaps realizing something herself, she said: "As a Memory Retriever participating in the bookstore's checkpoint scene, you've already cleared it, you should leave, why are you still lingering?"

"Understood!" Luo Xi stood up.

Just then, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

This time, they were completely extinguished, not even a glimmer of light remained.

Instantly, the room was plunged into absolute darkness, and the next moment, Luo Xi felt someone approaching him.

Very close.

Almost body to body, face to face.

Rumbling~

Luo Xi actually heard a strange noise coming from around him, like thunder, but much quieter than thunder, as if the room was suddenly covered by something, like being covered with dozens of layers of cotton blankets.

The person face-to-face with him had a fragrance.

Without a doubt, it was Qiu Kui!

"Luo Xi, why did you come back, why did you have to come back?"

Qiu Kui's voice sounded, her voice was very small and urgent, even though the two of them were so close together at the moment, she still spoke in the smallest voice, as if afraid of being heard by some existence.

Luo Xi didn't know how to answer this question.

Moreover, the focus was on the word 'come back'.

'Back' corresponds to 'go'.

Only after going to a certain place can one talk about coming back.

"You think I came back? Perhaps, I never left," Luo Xi responded.

Qiu Kui on the opposite side was obviously stunned.

Then there was a few seconds of silence, obviously thinking about the meaning of this answer.

But unfortunately, Luo Xi couldn't give any answers.

Because he was also thinking about this matter, not only what the other party said, but also the things that made him feel incredible, such as, 'I saw you leave with my own eyes', 'The things you promised me', unfortunately, Luo Xi didn't know these things, perhaps he once knew, but he forgot.

He only remembered that this was his third cycle day as a Memory Retriever.

In addition, besides these questions themselves, Luo Xi also needed to judge the other party's intentions and the truth of what they said.

At this time, he could only make assumptions about the matter.

Assume it's true, or assume it's a lie.

The two branches of direction are obviously completely different, and at the same time, there will be other branches behind the two directions, so a huge network of assumptions is formed, and eventually, a maze is formed, and it is easy to fall into a dead end in this inference process and be completely lost in it.

But for Luo Xi, this level of thought maze did not pose any threat to him.

"If you saw me leave, and now I'm back, it means there must be a reason to come back… As for the things I promised you, if they exist, the promise is still valid, if they don't exist, of course it's invalid."

In essence, this answered, but it also didn't answer.

In the ears of some people with poor comprehension, this is a thorough 'perfunctory'.

But strangely, Qiu Kui was actually very satisfied with this answer.

"I understand, Luo Xi, in the countless cycle days in the past, I chose to unconditionally believe you, and in the future cycle days, I will still do so, as always."

The newest novels are at Six 9 Books Bar!

Rumbling~

The strange muffled thunder outside increased.

Qiu Kui was obviously extremely nervous at this time, and she doubled her speed: "I will wait for your next instruction, and, Wei Si has already set his sights on you, be careful."

After speaking, she immediately retreated.

Two seconds later, the strange noise disappeared, and the lights in the room came back on.

Qiu Kui was still sitting elegantly in the chair opposite, she smiled helplessly: "Perhaps, I should close the bookstore for a few days to properly inspect the wiring here, it actually broke down at this time, hey, why aren't you leaving yet? Don't tell me you've taken a liking to me?"

Red-haired woman, fiery red lips, with teasing eyes, these are enough to make any man have psychological ripples.

Luo Xi looked the other person up and down: "I still prefer, light makeup."

After speaking, he stepped out.

At the door, Qian Lejin, the fatty, was sitting on the steps, drinking soda, this guy was looking blankly at the road in front, not knowing if he was looking at the scenery or people.

"Hey, Fatty, didn't you come out a long time ago? Why didn't you leave? Waiting for someone?"

"Luo-bro, I think you've seen that I'm still capable. My boxing is really good. If I had been wearing spiked brass knuckles at the time, that sturdy aunt would have been knocked down by me long ago, really… Moreover, I'm very loyal, and frankly speaking, I'm very loyal and can definitely help you."

Qian Lejin kept touting himself along the way.

Because before this, Luo Xi had really rejected this fatty, just as Qiu Kui said.

"It's not bragging, I just don't have good cards. If I had a card that could enhance my strength, I could take on that aunt with one hand, she couldn't beat me…"

"Leave a phone number." Guessing that Qian Fatty had desperately stood in front of him when the person named Aunt Qin rushed towards him, Luo Xi finally relented, and Qian Fatty hurriedly reported his phone number.

Luo Xi also told the other party his number.

"By the way, how did you think of coming to conquer the Tun Tun Bookstore?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

Qian Lejin immediately said: "This scene is famous, I heard that if you're lucky, you can get some reward cards, so I came to try my luck."

Luo Xi had also heard Yu Xiaoru mention before that the Tun Tun Bookstore checkpoint scene was very famous.

"Where did you hear that?"

"The Time Assembly Hall!" After Qian Lejin finished speaking, looking at Luo Xi's appearance, he suddenly asked: "Luo-bro, you don't know about the Time Assembly Hall, do you?"

Luo Xi shook his head: "I really don't know."

"Then let me tell you, actually, it's the same as the Awakened Association, it was set up by a group of Memory Retrievers who formed an organization. Some of these organizations focus on conquering various checkpoint scenes to collect cards, while others completely lie flat and enjoy the Day of Confinement, hey, don't be surprised, there are quite a few people like this, you think, on the cycle day, besides the cards and the memories that are saved, everything else will be 'reset', even dead people can be resurrected, and destroyed buildings will be restored, so many people start doing things they wanted to do in the past but didn't dare to do."

"For example, jumping off a building… Really, it's not strange, some people are just curious about what it feels like to jump off a building, so on the premise of obtaining the [Memory] card, some people climb to the top of the highest building and jump down."

"This is all normal, and there are some people who do things that I'm too embarrassed to say, such as what kind of multi-person sports for men and women, oh my god, what are they thinking? I can't understand it, and there are even more perverted things…"

"Talk about the Time Assembly Hall!" Luo Xi corrected in time, otherwise, this fatty could talk all day.

"Oh, right, some organizations are for collecting cards and conquering checkpoint scenes, such as the Awakened Association, which is recognized as powerful… If they can't beat them in this regard, other organizations change to other tracks, such as setting up an assembly hall, so that Memory Retrievers can gather together, exchange information, trade cards, provide guarantees, and some people will issue tasks and hire some powerful Memory Retrievers to do things for them, including killing people… Frankly speaking, that place is a platform."

"The Time Assembly Hall is not far from here, I went there once before, there are ordinary venues and high-end venues, the ordinary venues are free, as long as you show any card, you can enter, the high-end venues require paying a [Memory] card as a ticket… Luo-bro, if you want to go, I can take you there."

Midnight update seeking monthly tickets!
