Day of Imprisonment
#257 - Taxi Driver
The sky was already bright at six in the morning, but it was still dim due to the overcast weather.
Luo Xi looked at his tattered clothes.
“Advance massive feeding, ingesting energy for storage, can release these energies when needed, allowing the body to briefly reach the Elite C level (-), while increasing self-healing ability by 300% when injured, and reducing pain. This is the special ability of No. 078 [Gourmet].”
The [Level One Severance] used by Liu Baosheng earlier was not without effect.
It's just that Luo Xi predicted it in advance and used the [Gourmet]'s ability to offset it.
This can be considered exploiting a loophole in the scene rules.
Luo Xi had been feasting in the scene before, just to slowly accumulate the [Gourmet]'s ability.
The effect was obvious.
It had stopped bleeding long ago, and it was estimated that scabs would slowly form after a while.
But he couldn't make big movements or exercise vigorously, otherwise, it would easily break open again.
“I should find a needle and thread to sew up the wound.” He muttered, then stopped a taxi that happened to be passing by.
“Hello, where are you going?”
“Dalong Ring Road and Shushu West Road intersection.”
“Okay!”
The vehicle started steadily.
The phone vibrated.
Luo Xi looked at it and answered.
“Qiqi, where are you? Yes, I was in the scene before. Oh, she contacted you? I see, I also plan to go there. Let's talk when we meet at the place.” After a few short sentences, Luo Xi hung up the phone.
Soon, there was another phone call.
“Wu Rui, it's good that you picked up the person. You and Brother Mao should meet up. Let's talk about anything in the group... Can't contact Ke Lan? That's normal, he should still be working.”
After hanging up, Luo Xi opened their group chat and looked at it. Qian Pangzi was the most active, saying that he had encountered a certain checkpoint scene on the road, but after thinking about it, he didn't participate.
“I always seek stability, so I'm waiting outside that checkpoint scene. If someone comes out, I can inquire about information.”
This, indeed, fits Qian Pangzi's style.
From time to time, Luo Xi would look out the window, looking at the city shrouded in the overcast clouds.
Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles on the road.
The road was not congested at this time, and the vehicle quickly got on the overpass, moving very fast.
And at this moment, the sound of the radio in the vehicle was suddenly affected by a burst of harsh noise, emitting a buzzing electrical sound. Originally, it was thought to be just some kind of occasional interference, which would soon disappear, but the electrical noise increased instead of decreasing, continuing non-stop.
Luo Xi raised his eyelids and looked at the driver.
And the driver was also looking at him through the rearview mirror.
Originally, this driver was an amiable middle-aged man, but at this moment, he was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and his pupils emitted a faint light.
The silence in the car, apart from the electrical noise, was terrifying.
“Why do you always cause trouble every time? I really don't understand.”
The driver's voice changed.
It was like a shell had been stuffed with another soul.
“What should I call you?” Luo Xi was not surprised, he changed his sitting posture.
“The name is not important, anyway, you will eventually lose your memory and won't remember it.” The driver's tone carried a kind of condescension, a sense of superiority of a higher being looking down on a lower being.
“If you don't say, then I'll make one up for you, let's call you Driver. So, Mr. Driver, is there anything you need by coming in this way?”
“Heh, you are really annoying, I get annoyed whenever I see that calm and composed look of yours. You are like a stink bug, no matter how you crush you to death, you will still appear.” The driver did not hide his disgust for someone.
Luo Xi then crossed his legs, stretching his whole body on the back seat: “So, you came here specifically to scold me?”
“Put away your self-righteousness, you and I are not on the same dimension at all, nor are we beings of the same level. In my eyes, you are just a stink bug, I only need a finger to kill you.” After the driver finished speaking, he laughed again: “It is indeed a waste of time to talk to you about this, so, let's get straight to the point, Luo Xi, what exactly are you going to do?”
Luo Xi was stunned: “What?”
“What exactly is your plan?” The driver continued to ask: “Don't tell me you don't know what happened in the last cycle day, or to be more direct, does that matter have anything to do with you? This shouldn't be, no, it shouldn't be, it must be, it must be you who did it. What exactly is your purpose?”
In the end, the driver's face was ferocious, and it could be seen that he was in a very bad mood. Even the weather outside changed drastically in an instant, and there were even bursts of thunder. A few seconds later, raindrops fell, like beans scattered from the sky.
Luo Xi showed a surprised expression, first looking at the sudden change in the weather outside the car window, and then looking at the driver in front.
The other party had already turned his head, but the vehicle was still driving steadily on the road.
It seemed that the other party didn't need to specifically control it at all.
“Are you talking about the cycle day that was suddenly interrupted and restarted last time? And that explosion...”
“Nonsense.”
“To be honest, I also really want to know. Even the destination I'm going to now is to try to figure out the secrets of this matter.” Luo Xi spread out his hands: “I want to figure out what happened even more than you do, Mr. Driver.”
“You're lying.” The driver frowned.
“No, although I can lie, I didn't. Oh, I understand.” Luo Xi thought for a while, and looked over very seriously: “Mr. Driver, you think this matter is related to me, and even mentioned some kind of plan... But you should be very clear that even if the hypothesis you said is true, that is my plan, it was done by me, but not by the current me. I have lost my memory. This time, I became a Memory Retriever, and I have only gone through single-digit reincarnations. To be precise, this is only my fourth cycle day.”
It could be seen that there was a kind of helplessness and grievance on Luo Xi's face.
He was very sure that the other party must know what he said very well.
The latest novel is at Six 9 Books Bar first!
Because this is the truth.
In addition, this guy who can arbitrarily 'possess' a certain amnesiac must be very special. He may be a high-level executive within the company, or an existence of the same level. Moreover, the other party and some high-level guys have been monitoring him.
So even if he didn't say it, the other party would know this information.
After all, this time he became a Memory Retriever, from the moment he knew that Xu Lin, who was impersonating his mother, was by his side, Luo Xi knew that someone was 'monitoring' him.
Some of this was arranged by himself, and some was not arranged by himself.
This moment can be regarded as completely confirmed.
Wait a minute, could the arrival of this 'driver' also be part of the plan?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Luo Xi's mind.
“What are you thinking about?” the driver suddenly asked at this time.
“I'm very curious.” Luo Xi did not show any abnormality. At this moment, following the momentary thought just now, he smoothly transitioned to a kind of confusion.
“Curious? What are you curious about?” The driver stared at Luo Xi, there was a faint halo in the other party's eyes, because the sky was darker, it seemed particularly bright.
It was as if tiny light rings were installed in his eyes.
“Why do you think those things are related to me? As far as I know, there are tens of thousands of Memory Retrievers within the Day of Confinement, and there are many real experts among them. Some people have even preserved their memories for over a thousand times. They have not interrupted their memories, and have not become amnesiacs. Compared to me, who has only experienced four cycle days now, why do you think it was me who did it, and not them?” Luo Xi asked in a serious manner, and then added: “This is what I'm curious about. To be honest, I'm very strange about what I used to do, or, who was I before? If you know, you can tell me.”
“Haha, hahahaha!” Who knew that the driver on the opposite side couldn't help but laugh wildly after hearing this, as if he had heard a very funny joke: “Luo Xi, you are like a cunning fox, are you planning to extract information in this way? Do you think I'm a fool? I will never tell you those things. I won't let you know who you are or what you have done. I will eliminate all the clues. You can't find anything, and it's impossible to get back your past memories. Yes, that's right, that's the normal reaction. Even if this matter is indeed related to you, it was something that the past you did. And now, you are just a Memory Retriever who has experienced four cycle days, that's all.”
Along with the laughter, the weather outside the car window turned better again. Although it was still overcast, there were no strong winds and heavy rain, no lightning and thunder.
If it weren't for the traces of rainwater still remaining on the car window, everything just now would have seemed like just a dream.
Looking at the driver again, he had already returned to his normal driving posture.
The electrical noise in the car radio also disappeared, and the original morning broadcast resumed.
As if noticing that Luo Xi was looking at him, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror.
“Is there something wrong?” His voice became normal, including his expression and eyes.
“No!” Luo Xi shook his head, then slowly lowered the car window a little.
The slightly cool and humid wind poured in, instantly dispelling the stuffiness in the car.
“Nietzsche said, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you!”
Luo Xi murmured in a barely audible voice.
A few minutes later, the vehicle arrived at the location, and Luo Xi paid the fare and got out of the car.
There was residual rainwater on the ground, not much, and in a few hours, according to the habit of the cycle day, there would be another rain.
It's just that the thunderstorm just now had never appeared before.
At the front of the intersection, the figures of Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan were like two beautiful scenic lines.
In terms of women, they are definitely outstanding in all aspects. When standing at the intersection waiting for someone, the rate of turning heads and attention is extremely high.
Seeing Luo Xi, the two immediately greeted him. A takeaway deliveryman riding an electric car passed by and cursed in his mouth, his teeth almost breaking.
Luo Xi first nodded at Lin Qiqi, then looked at An Zhiyan: “I'm sorry, I didn't bring the person out, so our previous transaction is cancelled, and I don't want your two cards anymore.”
An Zhiyan was stunned, then shook her head: “Luo Xi, that's not important anymore. Qiqi has told you everything that happened in Yongge Supermarket after you left, right?”
