Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi nodded.

She was referring to Jia Shen leading the Ghost Mother in a rebellion, which destroyed the scenes inside the supermarket and killed Ding Si. This attracted the 'Company Executives,' who opened a door suspended in the air, but clearly, the 'Company Executives' underestimated their opponent.

The Ghost Mother's power exceeded their expectations, resulting in the executive being killed. Jia Shen and the Ghost Mother used that door to enter an unknown place.

That might be connected to 'Company Headquarters'.

"The main point is that Lin Yixuan also went in, and his behavior at the time was very abnormal, as if he had gone mad, trapped in some kind of obsessive thought." An Zhiyan's face was filled with worry. She couldn't help but sigh at this moment, looking at Luo Xi: "Besides, Lin Yixuan said that he does know you, and even the establishment of the Awakened Association was inspired by you."

Luo Xi smiled: "I don't remember this."

"I know, you have amnesia, Lin Yixuan also knows you have amnesia, but he seems to care very much about this matter. I even suspect that it was because he discovered you had amnesia that he became like that, hysterical, crazy, as if he had suffered some kind of huge blow..."

Luo Xi didn't comment on this.

He was thinking, could Lin Yixuan be a 'pawn'?

"Then, what else did he say?" Luo Xi felt it was necessary to figure this out.

"He said he was very disappointed. It seemed that in the past, he admired you very much, trusted you deeply, and even believed that you were a god. Yes, that's right. I once learned from Xiaoru that she had heard Lin Yixuan talk about card number 000 [Escape], saying that someone had found this card and escaped. Now I can almost be sure that the person Lin Yixuan was talking about is you."

"But you didn't escape, which means you might have deceived him at the time. He must think so," An Zhiyan felt she had found the truth of the matter.

Luo Xi didn't refute. He was considering this possibility.

There was indeed a possibility, but there was also another possibility: that the past him did not deceive Lin Yixuan, and did indeed find card number 000 [Escape], but this card might not really be able to take people out.

Or, he came back for some reason.

Even, 'going out' and then 'coming back' was originally part of the plan.

These were all possible.

And from the first time he preserved his memory, knowing about the Memory Retrievers and the Day of Imprisonment, his first reaction was that he could not become an amnesiac.

Luo Xi had great confidence in himself.

This confidence did not come from nowhere, but from the fact that he could stand out from the many terrifying personalities. To put it bluntly, his confidence was fought for, beaten out, killed out...

So if he had amnesia, there was only one possibility.

This was intentional by him, or it was a link within one of his plans.

"Luo Xi, do you know that when that guy left, he actually wanted me to go with him. At that time, he looked like a 'god' waiting for believers to worship him. Haha, who does he think he is? He's just a madman. If An Zhiyan hadn't been there, I would have killed him on the spot," Lin Qiqi said at this moment.

"Oh?" Luo Xi was a little surprised this time: "He thinks he's a god?"

"No, it's not like that. It's that he believes he can become a god in the future. I understand it as because his idol, which is you, failed and re-entered reincarnation, so he collapsed. But he doesn't think that road is impassable, but because you didn't succeed. He stubbornly believes that he can, so..." An Zhiyan, as the person who knew Lin Yixuan best here, gave a substitutive analysis at this moment.

"Then he's not bad." Luo Xi thought for a while and added: "Perhaps, he can really succeed."

An Zhiyan sighed.

"Luo Xi, the Awakened Association can't be saved. But, I think, if you're willing..."

"I'm not willing. I haven't met or understood Lin Yixuan, but he can be considered a talent if he can let go of things. He should go far. And you also need to be clear about one thing: if an organization and team are about to fall apart, it is definitely not formed overnight, and similarly, it is not something you can save just because you think you can. In addition, as compensation for the previous failed transaction, I will give you a word: remember, any organization and team are just tools for superiors to achieve their goals. As a leader, your goal is the first priority. If you put the cart before the horse and put your energy into a useless and soon-to-be-extinct tool, you will eventually be dragged down by those tools and fall into the abyss."

After speaking, Luo Xi was too lazy to waste any more words.

He had already said enough.

This place was very close to 'Sunshine Internet Cafe.' Luo Xi came this time to take another look at the internet cafe.

Since the starting point last time was Sunshine Internet Cafe and Yongge Supermarket, it was inevitable to come here to investigate.

Lin Qiqi followed beside him, while An Zhiyan followed thoughtfully behind. It could be seen that she was a little absent-minded and might need some time to understand and accept Luo Xi's words.

"Where's the internet cafe?" An Zhiyan raised her head and asked subconsciously.

The two-story building that used to house the Sunshine Internet Cafe was now empty.

It wasn't that the building had changed its sign; it was that the entire building was gone.

The original location had become an empty space.

It had become an outdoor activity area, paved with ordinary bricks like those on pedestrian walkways, and some cheap exercise equipment. Several old men and women were exercising there at the moment. If you looked closely, you could see old damage on the ground, and the exercise equipment had paint peeling and a greasy sheen from long-term contact.

"Did we come to the wrong place?" Lin Qiqi subconsciously looked around.

She realized they hadn't. The environment around the Sunshine Internet Cafe hadn't changed. The shops across the street, the telephone poles on the roadside, and the entrance to a residential area at the fork in the road, along with the signs above, were all the same.

There was no mistaking any of that.

But the Sunshine Internet Cafe, along with the two-story building, had disappeared.

Vanished into thin air.

"Someone erased the traces of the Internet Cafe!" An Zhiyan seemed to have emerged from her previous worries. She quickly added, "The association has records of similar events. It seems that about fifty cycle days ago, a similar thing happened to a church scene."

"I think I heard about that. Was it the one on Wowo Road?" Lin Qiqi asked.

"Yes, the original church scene suddenly turned into the Second Master Temple after a cycle day. But it's still a checkpoint scene, with yin and yang attributes, level three, very dangerous..." An Zhiyan glanced at Luo Xi.

She could only provide some information now.

But that was a scene transformation, while the Sunshine Internet Cafe had completely disappeared.

It was as if a god had erased it with an eraser, then casually drew a stroke, outlining a rough open space.

Luo Xi didn't say anything.

He was thinking about a question: if the Sunshine Internet Cafe had been erased for some reason, what about the people inside?

If the Remnants who were originally trapped inside had also left and been reset, would they know anything?

Also, what about Yongge Supermarket?

And Jia Chen, Ding Wei, Ding Mao, and Old Wang inside?

The next second, Luo Xi turned and left.

"Where are you going?" Lin Qiqi hurried a few steps to catch up.

"The Haunted Building!"

A few minutes later, An Zhiyan was driving Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi in her car, speeding down the road.

Luo Xi was silent, and Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan didn't speak either.

Although every Remnant knew the phrase 'this world is fake,' and had even experienced many bizarre things, the situation of an entire building being directly erased still gave people an extremely grotesque sense of horror.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was too oppressive, Lin Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there are many strange things happening on the Day of Confinement. For example, it rained early this morning, but I haven't encountered anything similar in the past hundred cycle days. It doesn't rain at six o'clock at all. The weather is fixed every cycle day. So, I think, perhaps this cycle day has undergone some changes because of that mysterious explosion last time..."

The topic was interesting and in-depth, making it easy to attract discussion.

An Zhiyan immediately took the bait: "The sudden rainfall just now was indeed extremely abnormal, and I believe that the secrets behind the weather changes may be even greater than the disappearance of a building."

The two women immediately began a heated discussion on this issue.

The discussion included, but was not limited to, speculation about the reasons for the sudden change in weather and the resulting impact.

Luo Xi listened for a few minutes and finally couldn't help but interrupt, "Could it be just because someone was in a bad mood?"

"..." The two women were stunned.

They both immediately responded in their minds: "How is that possible? He's joking. How could it be related to someone's mood?"

"Luo Xi's joke is actually quite cold, but I can't say it out loud, or he'll be embarrassed."

The two women looked at each other and decided to change the subject.

A dozen minutes later, the car stopped in an old alley. The three walked in, winding around.

"Fortunately, this building hasn't disappeared." An Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ahead was the 'Haunted Building.' From the outside, the '凹'-shaped building just looked a little old, but there was nothing particularly special about it.

"You two wait here, don't come over." Luo Xi suddenly instructed at this time.

"Wait?" An Zhiyan was stunned. Just as she was about to ask, she was pulled back by Lin Qiqi next to her.

The former turned her head and asked, "Aren't you curious?"

The latter nodded: "I'm curious, but let's not interfere with him. If he can tell us, he will."

An Zhiyan was a little speechless.

"I thought you were very maverick, a person with personality..."

"Heh, no matter how maverick I am, I'm still a woman. Besides, there are some things that are not good for us to know. An Zhiyan, you can't not understand this principle, but you clearly know it, but you still stubbornly do it. Do you know that this is actually very stupid?"

An Zhiyan thought for a moment, and wanted to refute a few words unconvinced, but in the end, she helplessly nodded.

Lin Qiqi was right.

She really was that kind of person.
