Day of Imprisonment

Judging from his words and actions, Brother Rong seemed like a very tough guy, and he was also very stubborn at the beginning. It felt like he should be a real tough guy, but what was the result?

Five minutes, and he didn't catch a single doll.

He wasn't even as good as his little brother.

Moreover, when he came out, he was covered in sweat, weak and powerless, and it took him more than ten seconds to recover.

It felt like his soul had just returned to his body.

"Brother Rong, I didn't lie to you, this place is really evil, very strange, really scary, I can't use any strength at all, and that thing... is so heavy!" The guy from the trio who went down to catch dolls first said at this time.

"Brother, I oversimplified things. Damn, everyone says it's safe to catch dolls. It's pretty safe, even if you fail to clear the level, you won't die, but it's a waste of a [Memory] card."

You could tell he was very distressed.

They didn't continue to challenge. Obviously, the three of them only bought two tickets. Without clearing the level, they naturally wouldn't get any rewards.

"Brother Rong, the four people over there are also catching."

"Let's go take a look!"

Brother Rong and his group of three walked over.

Wu Rui held the knife handle, and Mao Ge held the screwdriver. Of course, both of these things were easy to hide. If they weren't drawn out, everyone would still be friendly.

"Catching dolls is simply impossible to succeed. Listen to my advice, those who haven't played yet, hurry up and get a refund. Don't even think about catching five in five minutes, it's impossible to catch even one in ten minutes," Brother Rong said at this time, looking like someone who had been there, done that.

"Big brother, I saw you go down to catch them just now. What exactly do you encounter inside? Why do you say you can't catch even one in ten minutes?" Wu Rui asked with a smile.

Brother Rong and his group of three had actually noticed Wu Rui a long time ago.

This girl...

She was so lovely!

The kind who could be seductive in a uniform and cute in cartoon clothes. She wasn't tall, but her body proportions were really top-notch.

Brother Rong was big and burly, but he just liked this kind of style.

He had already started planning in his heart.

Under the Day of Imprisonment, Recollectors struggle in the threat of reincarnation, amnesia, and death. Naturally, traditional laws, regulations, and morals are difficult to restrain Recollectors here.

It was the same as robbery. Anyway, everything would start again in the next cycle day.

He was so perverted that he even spent several cycle days specifically finding a family and torturing and killing them, over and over again.

Of course, before he vented his perverted desires, he needed to get at least one [Memory], because that way, he would have no worries and could go all out.

He came to Rainbow City this time to get cards.

He just didn't expect that he hadn't gotten any yet, but instead lost one.

He had to find another way to get Memory cards.

For example, rob!

The few people over there, and especially that lovely girl he really liked at first sight, naturally made him start planning in his heart, thinking about how to do it later and how to snatch the other party's cards.

But not here. In the doll-catching area, there are special scene-responsible doll people. These guys are not easy to mess with either.

Although it's not forbidden for Recollectors to kill each other here, it's always good to be careful.

Good food isn't afraid of being late.

You have to be patient.

"Girl, you're so lovely, what did you eat to grow so big? Hehe, what's your name?" Brother Rong ignored the other party's inquiry and instead looked Wu Rui up and down, especially staring at her chest.

He couldn't get enough of it.

He really couldn't get enough of it.

"Brother, my name is Wu Rui. Can you tell me what you see down there? Why can't you catch a doll in ten minutes?" Wu Rui didn't seem to care about the other party's almost invasive gaze, and even took a step forward.

"This, I can tell you, but you have to play with me for two hours, how about it?" Brother Rong leaned over, almost touching Wu Rui, took a few deep breaths with his big nostrils, and directly made an extremely excessive request.

What was there to be afraid of?

There was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Bad men are attractive to women. Maybe this woman just likes his bad side.

"This, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Or, let's forget it, I won't ask." Wu Rui shook her head, looking pitiful on the surface, but cursing inwardly.

She secretly thought that this Brother Rong wasn't the kind of fool who could be tricked into telling the truth with just a few words.

"Forget it? You've stirred up my lust, and you say forget it?" Brother Rong directly turned hostile. He was already thinking about whether to do it now.

The other party had four people, but one was catching dolls below, and one was controlling the remote control. If the three of them attacked, they should be able to quickly kill one. The remaining man and woman would be easy to deal with. When the time came, they could play however they wanted.

Opportunity.

At that moment, he looked at the big fox doll person over there: "I say, is fighting forbidden in your place?"

The big fox was stunned for a moment, then shook his head seriously: "Not forbidden, but you can't attack people who are playing the game. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want."

"Beautiful!" Brother Rong was already preparing to call his two brothers to attack.

But at this moment, Wu Rui took a step forward, stabbed a knife into Brother Rong's eye socket, then pulled it out, took three steps back, and looked at the other party with her head tilted.

Her attack was too sudden, and it was clean and neat, done in one go.

Like a lark catching a worm, it was as fast as lightning.

Because it was too fast and too sudden, no one present reacted.

Even Mao Ge was stunned.

He thought to himself, 'Big sister, you scared me. But, that stab was really accurate, and really fast.'

Brother Rong's eyeball shattered, and blood spurted out. He twitched and trembled twice. Before he could figure out what was going on, he fell to the ground and died.

The blade entered the eye socket, pierced the brain, and then was pulled out. This kind of injury was fatal, so he died on the spot.

"Damn, you little bitch actually killed Brother Rong." The two people on the opposite side came back to their senses at this time, cursing and pulling out their daggers.

This thing was easy to carry and had strong lethality.

Recollectors liked this kind of weapon.

Wu Rui shook off the blood on the dagger at this time, quickly switched from a forward grip to a reverse grip, and then said: "He's dead, but it's just another [Memory] card wasted. Come on, unless you don't have [Memory] anymore. If that's the case, be careful, don't accidentally die, or you'll lose big."

Beside her, Liu Mao was also holding a screwdriver, not saying a word, but you could tell that if he really fought, he was the kind of person who was ruthless, didn't talk much, and would stab you to death.

Maybe he was originally a cleaner, so even if he didn't trigger the cleaner's state, he still had a kind of deterrent force.

Anyway, the two people on the opposite side hesitated.

Wu Rui's words hit their weak spot.

They didn't have any [Memory] cards anymore.

Not a single one.

They came to catch dolls this time because this scene had extremely low danger, and they would almost never die. And if they successfully cleared the level, they could get at least 2 [Memory], so they came.

But they didn't expect that in a non-dangerous scene, it would be even more difficult to clear the level.

At this moment, Guo Zening suddenly said: "Luo Xi, what are you doing?"

This shout diluted the originally tense atmosphere, and everyone's eyes turned to Luo Xi in the big glass room.

Then everyone was dumbfounded.

They saw that Luo Xi had already descended among the many dolls below, and then, he unbuckled the safety buckle on his feet and jumped down.

"He's crazy. Is he crazy? That's all 'fear' down there. Doesn't he have anything he's afraid of?" The man who had been scolded and slapped by Brother Rong earlier widened his eyes at this time. He had just entered inside to catch dolls a few minutes ago.

No one knew the situation inside better than him.

From the outside, they were all cute plush toys, but in reality, after the person catching the dolls went in, they would be affected by some invisible force.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but this illusion was extremely real.

What he saw were all kinds of terrifying insects, as well as human remains, broken bodies, and human heads with eyeballs flowing out. These things filled the entire room.

It can be said that fear is not something that can be endured with a strong will.

Just being afraid was one thing.

He knew very well that in addition to being so scared that his toes cramped, his body would also produce sweating, trembling, and weakness due to fear.

The most troublesome thing was 'weakness', which could also be understood as frailty.

Even if someone overcomes the fear in their heart, if they don't have the strength in their hands, they won't be able to firmly grasp those terrifying insects, corpses, or even vengeful ghosts.

It can be understood as someone being weakened by fear to the point of having the strength of a child, needing to overcome that fear and lift heavy objects exceeding twenty, or even thirty kilograms.

Extremely difficult.

Moreover, they need to grab five within five minutes to pass the level.

So, while it seems like just a scare with no real danger, the difficulty of passing the level is definitely no less than other level scenarios, and may even surpass them.

In this burly man's mind, 'clawing dolls' is simply impossible to pass, just a 'pig butchering scam' to swindle Reclaimers of their [Memory] cards, a deeply layered trap.

Anyway, he doesn't think anyone else can pass, but conversely, when he sees the person in that large glass room actually untying the safety rope and dropping directly into the numerous stuffed dolls below, his first reaction is that the person is crazy, and then, it's an extremely strong sense of curiosity.

"Why is he doing this?"

Soon, he knew the answer.

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

The person inside currently has no expression, and other than being able to tell they are somewhat weak, they don't show any fear.

Or perhaps, they are forcibly suppressing it.

And the next moment, the person did something he never expected.

They actually grabbed the rope that was originally suspending them and started looping it around the neck of a doll below, one loop, two loops, tying a knot, and then dragging over another doll, continuing with one loop, two loops, tying a knot...

The people outside were silent, just blankly watching Luo Xi inside looping the necks of the dolls, including the Great Fox.

Clearly, this 'employee' managing the 'clawing dolls' scene had never seen this kind of gameplay before.

"Why... why isn't he playing by the rules?"

After holding it in for a minute, the Great Fox finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Wu Rui immediately retorted: "What? Is it against the rules?"

"That's not the case!"

"If it's not against the rules, then it complies with the gameplay." At this time, Wu Rui's heart was also pounding nervously, feeling even more stimulated than when she ambushed Brother Rong just now.

Even, her scalp and toes were tingling.

"So, that's how you play 'clawing dolls'? But Luo Xi didn't say that before... Right, I understand now, this is completely a method he came up with on the spot, not something written in other people's walkthroughs."

Wu Rui's speculation was correct, this was indeed something Luo Xi came up with on the spot.

At this moment, what Luo Xi saw were terrifying corpses, and these corpses were all acquaintances.

But to be honest, Luo Xi wasn't afraid of these.

At most, he just felt a little uncomfortable.

For example, among these corpses, there was his mother's appearance, Mao Ge, Wu Rui... and even himself.

You should know that the vast majority of people would feel fear and dread after seeing their own corpse.

Because that would lead to associations with 'death', and the most fundamental fear of humans is imagination. Scientists explain it as a 'fear gene,' but frankly, it's still a psychological effect.

However, Luo Xi's psychological perception of himself is different from normal people.

In addition, he has the [Absolute Rationality] card effect buffing him, so the first obstacle set up in the clawing dolls game is almost ineffective for him.

The troublesome thing is the second obstacle, [Weakness].

Luo Xi could confirm that this place was not only buffed with [Fear], but also with [Weakness], because he couldn't even lift things weighing a dozen kilograms now, or rather, he could barely lift them, but couldn't hold on for long.

According to this situation, unless someone originally had a physique that surpassed ordinary people, they could offset the effect of [Weakness] to a certain extent, and perhaps grab five dolls in five minutes.

But the proportion of such people is less than one in ten.

So, for the 'clawing dolls' scene, nine out of ten Reclaimers who try it will lose money. Perhaps the only good thing here is that [Fear] and [Weakness] won't kill people.

That is, it's relatively safe.

That's why Luo Xi untied his own safety buckle, and then used the rope to tie up the 'corpses' he was very familiar with, one after another, because although he was weak and powerless, the mechanical arm here was incredibly strong.

Lifting seven or eight corpse dolls at once was not a problem.

He calculated the time, and after looping the eighth corpse doll, he signaled Guo Zening outside to lift it up.

The latter reacted quickly and immediately operated it.

Thus, a large string of suspended dolls was grabbed.

"Time's up. This time, a total of eight dolls were grabbed. Congratulations on passing the level. The reward is a total of 5 [Memory] cards!"

These words were spoken through gritted teeth by the Great Fox.

It probably hurt him to death.

The most infuriating thing was that Luo Xi was only the first, and there were three more people eager to try.

At this time, Luo Xi walked out of the room. His face was a little pale, but he didn't sit down to rest, but looked at Brother Rong and his two accomplices, who were already completely dead on the ground.

"Wu Rui did it, right?"

From the one eye that had been pierced on Brother Rong, Luo Xi could tell whose handiwork it was.

The latter nodded and ran over to support Luo Xi.

Luo Xi waved his hand.

He looked at the two people, his gaze calm, but giving people a rather frightening feeling.

The two of them were already frightened silly.

Not to mention that Brother Rong had already been killed by that woman, even if he hadn't, seeing Luo Xi's operation inside, they wouldn't dare to have any other thoughts.

Someone who could even think of using this method to pass the level, and even didn't show the slightest appearance of fear and dread, could he be an ordinary person?

This time they had kicked a steel plate.

They quickly admitted their mistake, hoping to save their lives.

Immediately, the two people exchanged a glance, and with a plop, knelt on the ground.

"Big brother, we were wrong!"

"We were blind, please just treat us like farts and let us go."

"Yes, yes, we were actually forced by Brother Rong. The two of us are not in cahoots with him at all. He coerced us, so we are more than grateful that Big Sister killed him."

Everyone looked at Luo Xi.

Kill, or let go.

This had to listen to Luo Xi.

"I think it's better to kill them. A man's mouth is a deceiving ghost. Of course, I'm not talking about you, you're not included." Wu Rui showed her fierce side at this time.

She knew the principle of cutting weeds and eliminating roots.

"You leave all your cards behind, or, you can also choose not to leave them, and gamble on fighting us. After all, who wins and who loses, who can say for sure?" Luo Xi was very satisfied with Wu Rui's reaction.

The two people were obviously a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, there were four of them now, fighting two, the difficulty was extremely high, and these four people were not easy to mess with, especially that one who had just clawed the dolls, that kind of power was many levels stronger than Brother Rong. Compared to him, Brother Rong was simply like a naive elementary school student.

"Big brother, Big Sister, we don't have [Memory] anymore, but we do have two other cards that we can give you, as long as you can let us go." At this time, a burly man made a decision and said through gritted teeth.

He had a plan in his mind. Although he was admitting defeat this time and had his cards robbed, it didn't matter.

They knew the most correct way to pass the 'clawing dolls' level.

Then, as long as they went to rob a [Memory] next, they could come back and make a comeback.

When that time came, they would definitely turn the tables.

And if they didn't admit defeat and fought, because they didn't have [Memory] anymore, once they died, the cards on their bodies wouldn't be kept, and they would also become Amnesiacs.

Weighing the two evils, choose the lesser; weighing the two benefits, choose the greater. Even a fool would know what to choose.

"Good!" Luo Xi nodded.

Immediately, the two people took out the cards on their bodies and placed them on the ground.

On the other side, Wu Rui also searched Brother Rong's corpse and found two cards as well.

These cards were all handed over to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi looked at them. There were a total of four cards, namely [Mana], [Resentment], [Counter Curse], and [Precognition of Danger].

[Mana] and [Resentment] were similar, both consumables for activating and releasing certain cards, while [Counter Curse] and [Precognition of Danger], the former required a [Mana] card plus a [Resentment] card to release. As for [Precognition of Danger], there were no additional consumption release conditions, but there was a prerequisite, which was that it must be used in a level scenario with the 'Yin-Yang' attribute.
