Day of Imprisonment

As the three were about to enter the supermarket entrance, a mannequin dressed in a work uniform immediately stepped forward to remind them: "Please exchange for shopping vouchers before entering the supermarket."

The voice came from a small speaker on the mannequin's chest, carrying a unique static hiss.

However, the three ignored it and walked straight in.

The mannequin didn't stop them.

Sure enough, it was just as Luo Xi had investigated before; the mannequin employee's words didn't necessarily have to be followed.

If they really did follow them, they might suffer a loss.

After entering the supermarket, the layout inside was no different from a regular large supermarket.

The only difference was the goods on the shelves.

"This... this is..." An Zhiyan widened her eyes as she looked at the goods on the shelves, then took a deep breath, lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, and looked again.

On the shelves were various cards.

Many kinds, a dazzling array.

As a Memory Holder, it was impossible not to know the importance of cards. To some extent, the purpose of constantly challenging various level scenarios every loop day was to obtain cards. Some people would go to any lengths, almost to the point of madness, in order to obtain cards.

The reason was also very simple. First of all, the prerequisite for becoming a Memory Holder was to possess [Memory], which was the key to resetting and preserving memories on the loop day.

In addition to [Memory], there were also various cards with extraordinary abilities, spells, curses, weapons, strange creatures...

Each one was an important tool for Memory Holders to challenge level scenarios and strive for survival.

No one could deny this.

So, suddenly seeing so many cards on the shelves, anyone would be stunned, followed by an uncontrollable urge to take them.

However, upon closer inspection, they realized that these cards were somewhat different.

"[Apple Juice]? Large barrel, ingredients: unknown, origin: unknown. Weight: 2.5 kg!"

"[Compressed Biscuits], ingredients: unknown, origin: unknown. Weight: 0.1 kg."

"[Tun Tun Instant Noodles], bone broth flavor, super large pack. Weight: 0.675 kg."

"[Pang Dun Dun Soda]."

"Luo Xi, these cards are all goods, and all goods have specific descriptions, but what they have in common is the weight, which is marked in 'kilograms'. This may be related to the 'shopping cart' card册 in our hands."

"Also, the price... the price of [Apple Juice] is 20 shopping vouchers, [Compressed Biscuits] 12 shopping vouchers, [Tun Tun Instant Noodles] 27 shopping vouchers..."

Right now, the three of them didn't have a single shopping voucher, and couldn't afford anything.

A Memory Holder walked past in the distance, saw Luo Xi and the others, but didn't pay any attention to them at all.

The information he had gleaned from the experienced player before was very limited, and he could only rely on gradually exploring on his own. This process was unavoidable, unless the Memory Holders here took the initiative to impart their experience, but obviously, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan both diligently executed Luo Xi's instructions, without the slightest objection.

From the moment they decided to enter 'Eternal Dove Supermarket', they had already defaulted to Luo Xi as the captain of their three-person team.

Eternal Dove Supermarket was very large, and because they already knew that Memory Holders were not allowed to attack each other here, meaning there was no 'killing mode', it was better for the three of them to explore separately, otherwise acting together would be too inefficient.

Luo Xi chose the middle aisle, while Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan went to the sides.

Both sides of the aisle were shopping shelves, displaying various cards, but they were all the unique 'product cards' here, which were ordinary products that could be found in supermarkets, including food, beverages, and daily necessities...

"The shopping cart you choose determines the weight capacity of the corresponding shopping cart card 册, and the product cards here all have weight, which means that one of the gameplay aspects of Eternal Dove Supermarket is related to weight!"

This deduction was almost certain.

But they just didn't know what the specific weight rules were.

"There are also shopping vouchers. The exchange machine at the entrance is very坑, but if you can't find other ways to obtain vouchers in the supermarket, you will eventually have to choose to exchange there. However, according to the clue inadvertently revealed by that person just now, there is a more cost-effective place to exchange shopping vouchers within the supermarket..."

At this moment, Luo Xi noticed a dog in front of him.

The dog's owner had even dressed the dog in a piece of clothing, but the dog owner was nowhere to be seen, only this dog.

The breed looked like a Labrador, cream-colored, and it was tilting its head and looking at him.

Luo Xi also looked at the dog.

The next moment, the dog pounced over.

Luo Xi didn't move. He stared at the dog, because he couldn't feel any hostility from it.

When it got close, the dog circled around Luo Xi, sniffing.

"Woof!"

It barked once, and then skillfully took out a cloth strip from the pocket of its clothes, with a rolled-up small paper tube tied to the strip.

"You want to give this to me?" Luo Xi watched the dog wag its tail and reached out to take the cloth strip.

"Woof woof!"

It barked again, and the dog ran away.

Luo Xi looked at the rolled-up paper in his hand, untied the cloth strip, and unfolded it. On it was a stack of shopping vouchers, five of them, with a face value of 100 points each!

It was actually shopping vouchers!

Luo Xi was a little baffled. Just now, a dog gave him 500 shopping vouchers?

"Anyone who comes here for the first time will receive 500 shopping vouchers as a gift from the supermarket. There's nothing strange about it. You can use them without worry." At this time, a voice sounded from the side.

There, a person was sitting on the ground, looking a little颓废, with messy hair, and a pair of eyes staring straight at Luo Xi. From the other person, you could see a kind of extremely suppressed, inexplicable emotion.

Beside him on the ground was a half-empty bottle of mineral water. The man sat casually, one hand propping himself up, as if he had been sitting there for some time. There was some stubble on his face, and the other hand was hidden behind his back. It seemed like half of his body was trembling, and it was unclear if he was sick or uncomfortable.

“Thank you!” Luo Xi nodded.

He didn't know that he could get shopping points for entering the supermarket for the first time.

“The prerequisite for getting new user points is to choose a shopping cart. The weight limit of the shopping cart means the upper limit of the weight of cards you can buy. I believe you've already figured this out. But be careful, there's a 'hunger' setting here, which means it's easy to get thirsty and hungry. But you can buy food cards to replenish it.”

This man is suspicious.

It's hard to say what his purpose is.

Every action of a person has an internal drive, especially in this kind of place. To talk to a stranger, a Memory Gatherer, there's a 100% chance there's an ulterior motive. It can't be for the sense of accomplishment he gets from helping others, right?

“So, if I choose product cards that match the weight of the shopping cart, can I check out and leave?” Luo Xi thought for a moment and asked.

“Go ahead and try!” The other party smiled, seemingly unwilling to reveal any more information.

The other party's smile was forced, and it was obvious that he didn't really want to smile.

Luo Xi nodded again and continued to walk forward. The man's voice came again.

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

“This supermarket is full of the smell of desire. Can you smell it?”

“Desire?”

Luo Xi turned his head at this time and saw that the man had already turned his back to him and stood up, walking in another direction.

His figure was hunched, with a kind of loneliness that didn't match his age.

The man walked to the shelf in front, turned the corner, stopped on the side, and his expression was no longer as indifferent as before.

Ferocious!

He couldn't help but tremble.

There were bloodstains on the flesh on his back where he had scratched himself with his fingernails.

He had just scratched himself.

That was to forcibly control the emotions that could no longer be suppressed, like a volcano about to erupt, but he forcibly suppressed it. But that could only delay it. When it should erupt, it would still erupt.

Moreover, the destructive power would be even greater.

The man reached out and grabbed his own hair, using force with his fingers, staring with his eyes, like a beast.

“Why, why are you here?”

“You didn't recognize me? You have amnesia? How is that possible? How could you have amnesia?”

“Someone explain to me, what exactly is going on?”

A mixture of panic, anger, incomprehension, and almost madness constantly collided, causing the person to feel great pain. His stomach began to cramp violently, causing him to arch his back, with veins bulging on his neck. Just looking at him, you could feel that the other party was on the verge of collapse.

At this time, his fingernails fiercely pierced into his scalp. Under the intense pain, he was not directly collapsed.

Calm and reason were also slowly returning.

“You have already left. You have 【escaped】 from this place, but you still appeared, as a 'newcomer'. That is to say, you failed. So, is there a problem with 【escape】, or did some other accident happen?”

“Or perhaps... all of this is just your 【lie】?”

He let go of the hand that was tightly grasping his hair, not caring about the blood flowing down his forehead and the even messier hair.

Ah, there is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart!

At this moment, he was like he had lost his soul, his eyes no longer had the charm they had before, like a walking corpse.

“It's meaningless. If even finding the you who 【escaped】 has failed, who else can escape? Who else can break this invisible confinement? What was everything I did before for? In the end, I will still lose my memory, lose everything, and become a pitiful bug!”

“Heh heh, heh heh heh heh!”

He began to laugh, at first just clenching his teeth, suppressing his laughter, but soon it turned into a wild laugh. His eyes regained their charm, but this time, there was only madness after despair.

And a person cannot fall into despair and change their state of mind in a short period of time.

It can only be said that the emotions of despair and confusion have been accumulating and tormenting him for a long time. This time, it was just an inducement, a spark that ignited explosives.

“Those guys from the Eternal Assembly are perhaps the truly awake ones. Here, advanced Memory Gatherers are already immortal. We have everything. Those low-level Memory Gatherers, those with amnesia, are just ants to us. We are gods. What's wrong with being a god?”

“What's wrong with it…”

“Lin Yixuan!”

At this moment, a woman's voice sounded next to him, interrupting the man's murmur.

The man turned his head and glanced at her, sneering: “An Zhiyan, why are you here?”

“I finally found you.” An Zhiyan walked over in a few steps, her expression showing joy, followed by a touch of solemnity: “You haven't shown your face for more than three cycle days. There are all kinds of rumors in the association. Now everyone is panicking. You don't know, some people in the association want to seize power, and some want to start their own business. I can't hold them down alone, but if I can find you, the problem can be solved…”

“Awakener Association?” This man was Lin Yixuan, but at this moment his appearance was very different from the leader that An Zhiyan was familiar with, who could maintain his wisdom and calmness at any time.

It was like he had become a different person.

“I remembered, that group of trash, they are just a bunch of burdens. They can do whatever they want. Why do you care what they do?” Lin Yixuan waved his hand impatiently.

An Zhiyan was shocked.

She blinked, thinking she had misheard.

“Lin Yixuan, what are you talking about?”
