Day of Imprisonment

Dou Dou Game House is easy to find.

It's on the fourth floor, with lights on in front and a banner hanging over the entrance.

Grand Opening - Trial Run!

The inside is very large, divided into different areas. To the right of the entrance is a place filled with claw machines, brightly lit because the ceiling, walls, and floor are all glass, making it seem bright, like a dream castle.

To the left of the entrance is a counter, where a young girl in a black professional uniform stands neatly, along with a large plush doll more than a meter tall.

That plush doll is actually someone dressed up, wearing a large plush costume, shaped like a very cute bear.

"Welcome to Dou Dou Game House."

The young girl at the counter said.

Luo Xi and the others walked over.

"What would you like to play? We recommend the all-access pass, which can be purchased with only three [Memory] cards. It's currently 50% off. Normally, it would cost six [Memory] cards. The all-access pass allows you to play more than a dozen projects, big and small, within the game house. It's a great deal!"

"What if we just want to play a single project?" Luo Xi asked.

"That depends on which project you want to play. Generally speaking, it's one or two [Memory] cards. Actually, playing that way isn't cost-effective," the counter girl explained.

"We'll play the claw machines first," Luo Xi said, his purpose clear.

"How many people are playing?"

"Four!"

"Please provide four [Memory] cards."

After the young girl finished speaking, Wu Rui was fine. Luo Xi had given her a [Memory] card before, and she also received a [Memory] card as a reward after clearing the Sega Apartment scenario, so she still had some to spare. But Mao Ge and Guo Zening were both looking at Luo Xi at this moment.

The reason was simple: they didn't have any extra cards.

Luo Xi didn't hesitate or show any reluctance. He directly took out three [Memory] cards, and Wu Rui paid for her own.

"Okay, you can go play now. By the way, a reminder: one [Memory] card gets you five minutes of play, unlimited attempts. Have fun!"

The young girl gave a professional smile.

The four of them walked into the claw machine area.

Naturally, there were also normal claw machines here, with extremely cute little plush toys in the glass cabinets, but it was clear that the Remnants were not going to play those.

Towards the back, there were shouts coming from one of the machines.

"Left, a little to the left, damn it, too far, come back a little, yes, yes... right there, get ready, grab it, grab it quick!"

The voice was shouting very loudly.

Clearly in some kind of excitement.

"Good, grabbed it, hold on tight, don't let go, what are you doing, you should hold on tight, why did you let go, damn it, didn't we agree just now, even if you see something scary, you have to overcome it for me!"

Soon, the excitement turned into furious cursing.

At this time, Luo Xi and the others also walked over and saw a very special claw machine. At this moment, there were two people, one concentrating on operating the machine, and the other shouting at a huge glass window next to him.

He was spewing out all kinds of dirty words.

Looking closely, inside the window-like glass was a huge room. At this moment, a person with his feet tied to a rope was being transported back to the starting point. It could be seen that he was looking dejected, and also had a lingering fear of having just experienced terror.

Soon, the other person pushed the door open and came out from a door next to him.

"You little brat, why did you let go at the last moment?" The person who was cursing rushed over and slapped him.

The person who was hit covered his cheek, looking aggrieved.

"Brother Rong, it's... it's not my fault, you don't know how scary what I saw just now was, I felt like I would die if I didn't let go... and that kind of fear, there's no way to overcome it, it's strange."

"Strange your mom! You're a useless piece of trash, still scared, your guts are as small as that thing in your pants, damn it! Five minutes, and you only grabbed one doll, wasting one [Memory] card just like that, I'm relying on your grandma, go die... hurry up and get out of my way, I'll show you what it means to grab dolls."

The man called Brother Rong cursed and pushed the other person aside. He walked directly into the room.

Soon, it could be seen from the glass window that Brother Rong was standing on a platform. He put on a set of safety gear, and his feet were locked with a safety rope. The next moment, he was hoisted up, and the person outside was operating the joystick, controlling the direction, while Brother Rong, who was hanging on the rope, was swinging back and forth.

It could be seen that the other person was also cursing inside, but the room was well soundproofed, and it was impossible to hear what he was cursing.

As for what he was grabbing.

The bottom of this huge room was filled with plush toys, hundreds of them.

All very cute.

Wu Rui and the others had strange expressions. Obviously, what they were thinking was, is this difficult to grab?

But it was clear that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Guo Zening walked over at this time and said to the person who was being scolded by Brother Rong: "Brother, we're also new here. Logically speaking, these plush dolls are easy to grab, right? You only grabbed one after such a long time, no wonder your boss is scolding you."

The other person glared and cursed: "What the hell do you know, what you see outside is completely different from what's inside... Damn it, who are you, why should I tell you? Get out of here."

Presumably, the other person also realized that Guo Zening was trying to gather information, and hurriedly cursed.

But the other person had actually already said it.

His face was changing color.

Time passed second by second.

Outside, Rong-ge's two companions were also shouting, telling Rong-ge to quickly grab one and not let go.

The latter also tried to grab a plush toy, but after rising only a meter or two, he let go again, as if wearing a mask of pain, cold sweat streaming down.

"Still talking about me? Damn, aren't you also a waste?" The buddy who was scolded earlier immediately retorted.

Satisfying!

And at this time, what those outside saw was that sturdy-looking Rong-ge was wrestling with a pile of plush toys below, the whole person looking like a fat fish hung on a fishhook. Several minutes passed, his face turning red, his shouting seemingly making his throat hoarse, flailing his arms and legs, but he couldn't grab a single one.

This made Wu Rui and the others' curiosity reach its peak.

Luo Xi didn't pay too much attention to these people. He walked to a corner and said to someone also wearing a mascot costume: "Are there other venues?"

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

"Do you want to play?" the mascot said, opening its mouth. Earlier, it was standing against the wall without saying a word, and everyone really thought it was just a mascot.

"Yes."

"Yes, please come this way." This mascot was shaped like a large fox, with a big head and a big tail.

It beckoned to Luo Xi and the others, and walked to another location. Here, there was also a claw machine like that.

After collecting the tickets.

The big fox said: "Catching dolls requires two people to cooperate. Of course, the person actually operating outside is not counted as a user, which means that the person actually playing is the one inside catching the dolls. Five minutes per session. Who wants to go first?"

"May I ask, what are the rules for this scene?"

"Oh, the rules are all written on the wall. It's very simple. Each person has five minutes. If you can grab five dolls within the specified time, it counts as passing the level. Of course, you can also grab more, and there will be extra rewards. Passing the level will reward you with two [Memory] cards. If you grab more than five dolls, you can get an extra [Memory] card for each additional one. Whether you earn more or less depends entirely on your ability."

Indeed, the rules were very simple.

Luo Xi really wanted to try it first, but at this time Guo Zening stepped forward: "Why don't you let me go first, and you control the joystick."

After speaking, he looked around and found some plush hairpin hanging on the wall.

He took one over.

Obviously planning to use this thing to block his eyes.

Luo Xi shook his head: "Your goal is to pass the level, and you only have five minutes. I'll go and investigate the situation first. Even if I don't pass the level, it doesn't matter. At least I can provide you with some on-site experience."

When Guo Zening heard this, he also felt it made sense.

"Then I'll control the joystick!"

"Okay!"

Luo Xi walked to the door over there.

"After putting on the safety vest inside, you will be prompted to start the timer. When the time is up, you will be automatically sent out. Well, I wish you a happy game."

After the big fox finished speaking, he opened the door.

Luo Xi walked in, and Wu Rui and Liu Mao also leaned on the window with nervous expressions to watch.

The inside looked the same as the other three people were playing, with no difference.

Soon, Luo Xi appeared on the high platform. Similarly, he was wearing a safety vest and had a seat belt tied to his feet.

"Why didn't he cover his eyes?" At this time, Mao-ge said.

Luo Xi inside indeed didn't cover his eyes. Not only didn't he cover them, but he also looked down below, revealing a strange smile.

"Start the timer!"

The five-minute countdown began.

At this time, Luo Xi jumped down directly, and then gestured towards Guo Zening's control panel, meaning to let him down.

Guo Zening did as he was told.

The control stick was very easy, just like other normal claw machine controls, but there were two additional 'down' and 'up' buttons.

It was also easy to understand, anyone could quickly master it.

"Luo Xi said that catching dolls requires overcoming fear, and everyone's source of fear is actually different. I suspect that there should be a special influence on Reminiscent inside, which can cause people to hallucinate, and there may also be a sense of touch. What the people inside see must be very scary things. That's why Luo Xi said before that he wanted to cover his eyes. To some extent, covering his eyes can indeed overcome some fear," Wu Rui said at this time.

This was what she had come up with after careful consideration.

"That is to say, what looks like cute toys on the outside may actually be terrifying ghosts or giant, hairy insects with many legs when seen from the inside..." Guo Zening's face turned pale at this time. For him, whether it was ghosts or insects, those were untouchable things.

"I don't think it's that simple." Liu Mao also expressed his opinion at this time: "You have to know that this is not pure entertainment, not playing a game, but a matter of life and death. You know how important the [Memory] card is. Even if it is a terrible ghost, compared to losing memory without [Memory], it becomes less scary. As the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over a wall, oh no, it's a desperate gamble. If you're really forced, you'll definitely grab what you should grab, kill what you should kill, and then talk about it. If it's just a hallucination, it means it's just scary to the senses, and there won't really be any danger. In theory, most people should be able to overcome this psychological obstacle, right?"

"But the strange thing is, they didn't overcome it," Wu Rui turned her head and said, her expression strange and serious.

On the other side, Rong-ge's face was pale, and he almost walked out of the room trembling.

New week, asking for monthly tickets!
