Day of Imprisonment

#262 - Horror legend

The Respawner was named Liu Rong.

He believed that people and animals were the same, divided into herbivores and carnivores, or to put it more bluntly, one was the prey being hunted, and the other was the hunter.

Such people are more pragmatic.

Survival comes first, hunting enemies is second, as for fighting to the death with other hunters over trivial grudges and interests?

That's what idiots do.

A pragmatist would never care about so-called face and grudges.

Liu Rong only looked at the pros and cons, and only fought when he had the advantage.

He didn't plan to continue fighting the opponent, because the risk was too great, and there was another very important reason: at this moment, he was actually somewhat afraid of that person.

Normally, this was simply unbelievable, because the opponent had no reputation, and the hunter circle didn't know of such a person at all, and, the opponent wasn't very tall, and his strength wasn't particularly strong either.

But such an ordinary-looking guy had actually successfully killed him once just now.

As the old saying goes, once there's a first time, there will definitely be a second time.

So, being able to temporarily stabilize the opponent and then negotiate a truce was the best option. If the opponent was relentless, then he could only fight to the death.

"A pragmatist?" Luo Xi's tone on the other side was like commenting on a dish, but he still nodded: "Coincidentally, I am too."

"That's great, brother, we really became friends after a fight." Liu Rong said this, but didn't go over, still wary of the other party's underhanded tactics.

Because he himself was also considering when to give the other party a ruthless blow.

But he immediately realized that it wouldn't work.

Xiao Qi knew all of his trump cards and had told the other party, such as the fact that he could only 'Respawn' once in a short period of time.

This was crucial information.

If the other party knew, it would be like holding his weakness.

Conversely, he didn't know anything about the other party's background, methods, and abilities. Continuing to fight would only lead to more losses.

So, using underhanded tactics himself wasn't worth it, so he could only be wary of the other party not using underhanded tactics against him.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Qiqi.

"Xiao Qi, we're friends, your friend is my friend, Liu Rong. You should introduce us."

Lin Qiqi sneered: "I don't remember having a friend like you."

She clearly didn't give him any face.

After speaking, she gave An Zhiyan a look, and the two walked towards Luo Xi, while Liu Rong also retreated to the side of the hyena, squatted down to check, and found that the hyena was only paralyzed by drugs. Although it was a bit troublesome, it wouldn't die.

As for the lion, he could barely move his arm at this moment, but he still couldn't move.

His situation was much more bizarre than the hyena's.

He wasn't poisoned, nor was he blessed with some kind of magic, but he just couldn't move.

The reason was that the lion still felt that the dog that bit him had rabies. He was infected with the virus, and it had reached an incurable stage.

Even if Liu Rong told him that it was fake, he wouldn't believe it.

"Brother Rong, don't comfort me. I feel like my legs don't belong to me anymore. I really am infected with the virus. I'm done for. Why don't you just kill me? Anyway, I can't help you this cycle day."

"Shut your mouth." Liu Rong couldn't help but curse, then secretly glanced at Luo Xi over there.

This was the reason he was afraid of the other party.

The lion, this simple-minded but extremely strong subordinate, actually believed those unfounded words and even crippled himself.

No matter how he explained that it was fake, that it was a lie, he wouldn't believe it.

And the hyena actually said that the lion was infected with the rabies virus.

So tiring.

What kind of ability was this?

While Liu Rong was thinking about this question, Lin Qiqi was telling the terrifying legend about 'Fairytale Town'.

"During the Day of Imprisonment, there are actually many legends circulating, and 'Fairytale Town' is just one of them." Lin Qiqi's expression was a bit serious, even revealing a kind of helplessness and despair.

"'Fairytale Town' is a long-circulating horror legend. It is said that it is an extremely secret checkpoint scene. No one knows the exact location of Fairytale Town, only that once you are invited into Fairytale Town, you can never get out."

"Wait a minute!" Luo Xi interrupted Lin Qiqi. He turned his head and glanced at Hao Xiuwen, who was standing there, leaning against the table, looking down in a daze at the wound on his stomach.

"This seems to be a fatal wound, right? But why am I now" Hao Xiuwen muttered to himself. At this time, Luo Xi interrupted his thoughts.

"Have you heard of Fairytale Town?" Luo Xi asked.

“Because all the Reminiscent who have received invitation tickets have disappeared, do you understand? The meaning of this disappearance is that they vanished. They didn't reappear on the next cycle day, they weren't Reminiscent anymore, nor did they become Amnesiacs. They completely disappeared from the world. Therefore, we can only assume that they are trapped in Fairytale Town.”

“In other words, no one who has actually obtained an invitation ticket has said, 'I entered Fairytale Town.' No one has confirmed it, so strictly speaking, all of this is just speculation.”

“It is indeed speculation, but it's the only possibility,” Lin Qiqi sighed.

“The invitation ticket says that entering any door will lead to Fairytale Town. Conversely, if you don't open the door, you won't enter Fairytale Town,” Luo Xi added.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“That's right, but the reality is that everyone who has received an invitation ticket has eventually disappeared. They must have considered not opening the door, but they still disappeared. This shows that receiving an invitation ticket means 'disappearance'. So, Luo Xi, why did you take the initiative to ask the mayor for an invitation ticket? You could have stayed out of it and not gotten involved in this mess.”

“So, why didn't that mayor give me an invitation ticket?”

“Huh?” Lin Qiqi, interrupted, was stunned: “How would I know?”

“Among the various rumors about the mayor, has there ever been a situation where he appeared but didn't issue invitation tickets to everyone present?”

This time, not only Lin Qiqi but also An Zhiyan and Hao Xiuwen were pondering this question.

Then, all three shook their heads at the same time.

“Wait a minute, Luo Xi, I might have an interpretation. Because you are different from us, you… you used to be Lin Yixuan's idol, almost a 'god' in his eyes. So maybe… you've done something, or even, that mysterious 'mayor' might know you,” An Zhiyan said, lowering her voice.

Lin Qiqi's eyes also lit up, and she also lowered her voice: “Then, according to this, I have an even scarier guess. Maybe, Luo Xi, you've been to 'Fairytale Town' before… Only this can explain why the mayor knows you. Wait a minute, but you haven't disappeared. Then there's only one possibility: you've been there and come back! Heavens, doesn't this mean you've cleared 'Fairytale Town'?”

Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan, immersed in hypothetical reasoning, were stunned at this moment, shocked by the hypothesis they had deduced through assumptions.

It was a classic example of 'scaring oneself'.

Luo Xi smiled: “That's why I insisted on getting an invitation ticket.”

“I understand. But be careful of that Liu Rong. That guy is from the 'Hunter' circle, the most dangerous group of Reminiscent. But he deserves it, he's done too many bad things, and this is retribution, but it's implicated us,” Lin Qiqi felt that she still had to remind Luo Xi.

Although Luo Xi had successfully 'killed' Liu Rong once before, Liu Rong was by no means a pushover.

In terms of mentality, that guy was a madman.

“Qiqi, you're a Soul Peeker, so tell me, what state is the other person's soul in now?” Luo Xi asked. Lin Qiqi turned her head and looked, her expression a little strange: “That guy's soul is jumping and swaying, indicating that he's in an extremely complex mood, both angry and shocked, but mostly fearful. He's afraid of you.”

After realizing this, Lin Qiqi was relieved.

Even a madman like 'Liu Rong' among the Hunters, a 'freak' that made many veterans change color, was no match for Luo Xi. Not only did he suffer a great loss in one encounter, but the fear had already been planted in his heart.

Looking at Luo Xi's soul.

It never changed from beginning to end, like an unshakable and majestic mountain range, thick and profound, giving people a desire to explore.

“Since we can't escape, let's go and see. I'll go first,” Luo Xi said, getting up at this moment.

As soon as he moved, everyone in the room was attracted to his attention.

Especially Liu Rong, Hyena, and Mad Lion over there.

“You, you wait a minute!” Liu Rong couldn't help but shout when he saw Luo Xi seemed to be going out.

“Something wrong?” Luo Xi stopped, turned his head to look over, which made Liu Rong, who was originally very imposing, instantly sober up a lot. He originally wanted to question the other party about what he had done to his two subordinates.

But the words came to his lips and became: “Brother, I hope you can spare my two useless subordinates. I, Liu Rong, will definitely repay you!”

Damn, cowardly, cowardly to the extreme!

Liu Rong cursed himself.

But his face carried a hint of pleading.

“Drinking milk can detoxify, but you have to keep drinking it!”

With that, Luo Xi walked to the door and opened it.
