Day of Imprisonment

On the way, Luo Xi thought about it. The disappearance of 'Sunshine Internet Cafe' must be related to the 'driver' who suddenly came to talk to him. According to logic, the 'Haunted Building,' which is also related to Sunshine Internet Cafe and Yongge Supermarket, should also have been eliminated.

Doing so would be the most efficient way to solve the problem once and for all.

But that didn't happen.

Then there are several possibilities. One of them is that the 'Haunted Building' ahead is already a trap.

The reason for not letting Lin Qiqi and the others follow was also because of this consideration.

Getting closer, Luo Xi saw a 'Closed for Business' sign hanging outside the room at the entrance. It was obviously written temporarily, and the paint hadn't even dried yet.

The door was also closed, and it seemed like no one was inside.

If there wasn't that sign, Luo Xi might have thought so, but the sign betrayed the people inside.

He observed the surroundings, then walked over and knocked on the door.

No one responded.

So he continued to knock.

After knocking for a few minutes, he finally heard movement inside, the sound of someone walking in slippers.

After a while, the door opened.

It was Old Yao's wrinkled face.

His face was gloomy, as if he knew that Luo Xi was the one who came. He didn't open the door all the way, but only halfway, and then pointed to the sign outside.

"Are you blind? Closed for business. Go harass another place."

After saying that, he was about to close the door.

Luo Xi didn't say anything, just looked at him.

In the end, the door didn't close.

"Sigh, damn it, come in."

"That's right, one 'Memory' card per game. If you win, I'll return two to you. You can also raise the stakes, using function cards instead of 'Memory' cards. Similarly, I'll also return function cards. In short, you give me 'Spells,' I give you 'Spells,' you give me 'Curses,' I give you 'Curses'."

"Okay, let's play a game first." Luo Xi also sat on a small stool and took out a 'Memory' card to hand over.

Now, Luo Xi had quite a few 'Memory' cards. In his card album, he had nearly thirty 'Memory' cards, enough for him to use.

So they each set up the chess pieces, soldiers facing each other, horses and cannons in place, ready for battle.

"Central Cannon!"

"Jump the Horse!"

"I move the Right Horse!"

"I also move the Right Horse!"

"I move the Elephant!"

"I also move the Elephant!"

"Advance the Pawn!"

"Advance the Soldier!"

"Move the Chariot!"

"Reinforce the Advisor."

The wooden chess pieces hit the wooden chessboard, making cracking sounds, making one wonder if the pieces would be cracked next time.

The two attacked each other fiercely, and in the end, Luo Xi was defeated by the continuous horse tactic.

"Haha, it's still my two old horses that can checkmate you." Old Yao was extremely proud. "You kid doesn't know how to use horses. You don't know that real experts can use horses with divine skill."

"Again!" Luo Xi calmly rearranged the chess pieces and gave Old Yao another card, but this time, it was a functional spell card.

"Even if we play a few more games, you'll still lose." Old Yao stared at the chessboard, very focused.

"Old Yao, you..." Luo Xi tried to ask a question in the middle of the game, but Old Yao interrupted him before he could finish: "Luo Xi, I'm not familiar with you. If you ask, I won't say anything. Playing chess is fine, but forget about chatting."

Luo Xi nodded.

It seemed that this place was already under surveillance.

That was normal.

This matched Luo Xi's previous deduction of a 'trap'.

Old Yao hadn't been purged, he must have found a way. Moreover, Old Yao knew he would come, and the 'driver' must have known too.

This was like another chess game.

The difference was that in this chess game with Old Yao, he could lose, but in this game where he put himself at risk, he couldn't lose.

"Ha, you lost again!" This move is called sacrificing a piece to gain the initiative. You're not good at chess, you don't understand what it means to rather lose a horse than lose the initiative. This is called gaining a piece to gain the initiative is victory, losing a piece to lose the initiative is defeat. You're still inexperienced."

"The river boundary is three points wide, but the wisdom is ten thousand feet deep. One more game." Luo Xi continued to arrange the chess pieces and hand over the card, this time giving a biological card.

It was very precious.

During the Day of Imprisonment, biological cards were obviously the most difficult to obtain among the several types of cards, and because they were difficult to obtain, they were precious and rare.

In the third game, Luo Xi thought hard, and Old Yao also put in his best effort. The two didn't even speak again, except for the crisp sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard, and words like 'cannon fodder', 'checkmate'.

More than ten minutes later.

"Checkmate, you lost again!" Old Yao roared triumphantly, slamming the chess pieces on the board.

Luo Xi looked at it, threw the chess piece in his hand and said: "I'm not playing anymore!"

After speaking, he got up and walked out, seemingly suppressing a kind of displeasure. But when he reached the door, he turned his head and asked: "Do you really have nothing to say?"

"No, it's still the same sentence, I won't say anything." Old Yao drank a sip of tea triumphantly.

Luo Xi snorted coldly and slammed the door and left.

"Ah, bah ~" Old Yao spat out a mouthful of tea leaves behind him, and without cleaning up the chess stall, he walked straight back to the recliner, lay down, and started rocking.

In the shadows of the room, a figure suddenly walked out at this time.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ Is ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Release!

Silently.

It seemed that from the beginning, this figure was there, but it was perfectly integrated with the shadows.

This figure was holding a notebook in his hand, writing on it with a pen.

A few o'clock, Luo Xi arrived, no problems were found in the content of the conversation, playing chess, steps one to one hundred and thirty-seven, no abnormalities were found, administrator Yao Shan, employee level: Elite C level, no association with Luo Xi's collusion behavior was found, but given his past relationship with Luo Xi, continuous monitoring and observation is required; Before this, Yao Shan reported Jia Shen and Jia Zi, confirming that the report was effective. If no behavior violating the company's regulations is found, consider promoting and promoting him.

After writing, this figure tore off this page of paper, and then this page of paper was swallowed by the darkness, disappearing as if sinking into the water.

And the figure re-concealed in the shadows, as if it had never appeared.

"How was it?" Seeing Luo Xi walking over, Lin Qiqi immediately greeted him.

"I lost three cards." Luo Xi smiled, then looked at An Zhiyan: "Your association, that Liang Qiu, give me his phone number."

The latter nodded.

"No need to give it, use your phone to call him, call him now."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, An Zhiyan had already handed over the phone.

The phone rang a few times, and then it was picked up.

"Liang Qiu, have you left the city?"

"Hello, who are you? How do you know me..."

"I am Luo Xi."

"It's you, damn it, why are you like the fortune teller in my hometown, it's a bit scary. Qian Pangzi was right, you are really different from others... Yes, I have indeed left the city, and this time I didn't die, I'm still alive."

"Are there any cars on the road?"

"Yes, quite a few."

"I need to ask you for a favor."

"Tell me, we are considered friends, I will definitely help if I can."

"If you successfully reach your destination, help me take a look at the checkpoint scene there, contact the Remnants there, and see if there is anything different from our side."

"I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will do it even if you don't say it."

Luo Xi returned the phone to An Zhiyan.

Turning his head and glancing at the gloomy Haunted Building, Luo Xi knew that he couldn't come here again for at least a while.

Otherwise, it would harm Old Yao.

Just now, Old Yao had exchanged some information with him through some hints.

Including but not limited to, Jia Wu, that is, Old Ma has a problem; Old Yao is being monitored, but the problem is not big, because he not only reported Jia Shen, the monkey, but also betrayed Jia Zi, the big mouse.

Old Yao was very helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do.

Because, he was still acting according to the previous instructions.

From another perspective, Jia Zi was indeed on his side, but unfortunately, his mental state was not good, and like Ding Mao, he was already a bit crazy, but his condition was not as serious as Ding Mao's. Originally, after Luo Xi obtained all the components of the [Mental Patient] profession card, unlocking [Mental Capture] and [Mental Transfer], he could cure the crazy Ding Mao and Jia Zi, but some things cannot be completely carried out according to plan.

The actual operation and the plan will still produce some deviations.

Luo Xi believed that, perhaps when 'the former self' made the plan, he must have hoped that he would have already unlocked [Mental Patient] when he encountered Jia Zi and Ding Mao.

But things don't always go as planned. A slight deviation can lead to completely different results.

Ding Mao is dead.

But the plan should have considered this extreme possibility, so he must have specifically instructed Old Yao that in this situation, he must protect himself and betray Jia Zi or Ding Mao.

This is called 'sacrificing the pawn to save the general'.

So, it is almost impossible to obtain anything from these two people again.

Conversely, Luo Xi was not worried that 'the driver' could obtain any key information from Ding Mao and Jia Zi. Even if the two somewhat confused 'madmen' possessed any information, it was 'encrypted', and the 'key' to decrypt it was in his hands.

Essentially, the appearance of 'the driver' was definitely a failure on the other side.

Just like Luo Xi said, when a person gazes into the abyss, the abyss will also gaze at that person.

Contact is relative.

There is no question of who is superior and who is inferior.

The self-explosion of 'the driver' was more like an invisible ring, a key piece of information that Luo Xi's side was missing, helping him to connect some originally unrelated clues together.
