Day of Imprisonment

As Wu Rui finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

"Beautiful Wu, this matter is no joke," Fatty Qian reminded her.

He clearly didn't believe it.

Ke Lan also looked suspicious.

However, Mao Ge and Guo Zening knew Wu Rui better, knowing that she wouldn't joke about such things. If she said she had seen it, then it was likely true.

"I have indeed seen it. To be precise, I saw Lu Ting holding something like this," Wu Rui said, taking the admission ticket from Ke Lan's hand, examining it from front to back, observing it closely, and then confirming, "It is indeed this thing. Although I only glanced at it at the time, such blood-red tickets are rare, so I remember it vividly and shouldn't be mistaken."

Lu Ting was Wu Rui's mentor, the guide who taught her many basic knowledge about the Day of Confinement in the initial level scene of 'A Day as a Working Stiff'.

Of course, Luo Xi later discovered that this Lu Ting was probably there to 'monitor' him. However, from some clues, he knew that the other party might not be an enemy, because at that time, there was more than just Lu Ting monitoring and even planning to 'attack' Luo Xi. She also killed a Memory-Picking assassin who tried to abuse and kill Luo Xi.

"Wu Rui, you said you spent three cycle days with this Lu Ting in the company. When did you see this blood-colored ticket?" Luo Xi asked.

"The last time. Actually, it was just a dozen minutes before she said she wanted to give up. I went to find her and found her staring blankly at this ticket. When I approached, she hurriedly put it away, but I still saw it clearly," Wu Rui said with certainty.

Lu Ting, this guide, was very important to her, so she remembered the details very clearly at the time.

"At that time, she wandered around the stairwell outside for a long time. I found something was wrong, so I went to call her, and then she told me that she had given up and was leaving," Wu Rui said with a strange expression.

After learning the rules of the 'Fairytale Town Admission Ticket', she naturally thought of a possibility.

Lu Ting might not have wanted to leave voluntarily at the time.

But because of some 'accident', she had to interrupt her monitoring of Luo Xi.

Thinking of this, Wu Rui only felt her scalp tingle.

The real situation might be more complicated than she imagined.

"Did you notice anything unusual at the time, or did you see a transparent person wearing clothes?" Luo Xi continued to ask.

According to Wu Rui's account, Lu Ting should have accidentally encountered the Town Chief at that time and was forcibly given an 'Admission Ticket'.

Normal Memory-Pickers cannot refuse this kind of 'gift'.

Lu Ting must have realized this problem at the time, so after careful consideration, she temporarily fabricated a lie that she was 'tired' and 'giving up'.

Logically speaking, this lie should have been very clumsy, but why didn't Wu Rui have any doubts at the time, and even afterwards, she not only firmly believed it but also remained immersed in gratitude and appreciation.

This is indeed very abnormal.

But if this speculation holds true, it will lead to many other problems, and these problems are very difficult to explain.

For example, how did the 'Town Chief' get to 'A Day as a Working Stiff'?

"In various rumors, is there any mention of the Town Chief's pattern of appearance? Or, what conditions need to be met for it to appear?" Luo Xi squinted his eyes. Although these questions were popping up one by one, various clues were also converging quickly.

Why did the Town Chief appear in the scene of 'A Day as a Working Stiff'? Was someone summoning him? Or did he go there himself?

Also, if the Town Chief had appeared in this initial scene of 'A Day as a Working Stiff', why did he only give Lu Ting an admission ticket? Did the Town Chief discriminate against newcomers?

According to the rules of this initial scene, new Memory-Pickers are generated every time. Choosing only one out of multiple Memory-Pickers, then the Town Chief's behavior is too obvious.

The Town Chief, or someone who summoned the Town Chief, clearly wanted to get rid of Lu Ting, which is why they were so targeted.

If we reverse this possibility, we can conclude that Lu Ting, this Memory-Picker, is very strong and very important.

"Interesting!"

Luo Xi had already deduced several possibilities, and no matter which one, the final result pointed to one person.

Himself.

"In that case, I must go to this Fairytale Town."

Thinking of this, Luo Xi changed into a set of clothes from the closet in the room, a brand new black suit with a white shirt, which made him look more mature and steady than usual, especially with the special temperament, making him look very different from his usual self.

"Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. You look much more handsome in this suit," Wu Rui couldn't help but swallow, staring at him intently, not hiding her thoughts at all.

"Fatty!" Luo Xi glanced at Fatty Qian, who immediately stepped forward: "Luo-ge, just give the order. I'll go through fire and water without batting an eye."

"Boss, I actually know a way. Not far from here, there is a level scene. There is a chance to obtain a card called [Undead] after clearing it. This card can transform a corpse into an undead, but it only works within one cycle day. The undead creature is similar to when it was alive, inheriting its memories and abilities."

It was Ke Lan who was speaking.

Luo Xi nodded: "Mao Ge, Wu Rui, you come with me, and follow Ke Lan to that scene first."

With the plan set, the next step was to execute it.

Fatty Qian and Guo Zening rushed to the Time Assembly together, while Luo Xi and the others took the corpse of the guard dog with Ke Lan to conquer the [Undead].

On the way, Ke Lan explained the situation of that level scene in the car.

"That level scene is open all day. The mechanism is not complicated, but it hides great dangers. A moment of carelessness may lead to losses. Moreover, the [Undead] card does not appear every time," Ke Lan said what he knew: "I tried to conquer it once before. Considering the cost, I didn't succeed. After figuring out that this level scene is actually very坑人 (tricky), I didn't go again. But it is said that some Memory-Pickers specialize in conquering this scene, probably for the [Undead]. If we can exchange information with these veterans, things will be simpler."

"If necessary, we won't refuse this method," Luo Xi said.

Ke Lan then quickly explained the challenge process of that level scene.

"It's a guessing box game, single-player participation, no one else is allowed to help. Finding the box containing the 'Grand Prize' from the nine boxes counts as clearing the level, and you can randomly obtain cards. The [Undead] may appear in the randomly obtained cards."

"The boxes are divided into three types: 'Grand Prize Box', 'Trap Box', and 'Empty Box'."

"To open a box, you need to spend a [Memory] card, but if the total number of boxes decreases, then the [Memory] spent on opening a box will double; the game allows you to buy hints, but the hints will not point to which box has the grand prize, only some general hints, such as, 'The grand prize will not be in the nth box'. Buying hints also requires spending [Memory]; you can also choose to spend [Memory] to eliminate an 'Empty Box'. Of course, the cost of eliminating an empty box will also double with the number of times. What's more troublesome here is the 'Trap Box', because once you accidentally open a 'Trap Box', there may be 'Death' inside, which means you will be killed directly. There are also other traps, such as: blindness, finger amputation, or slightly better, you can impose negative states such as 'double the cost of the next round of selection', and the result of 'immediately replenish all the boxes', that is to say, if you spend a great price to eliminate the number of boxes to only three or four, and draw this trap box, then the number of boxes will be replenished to nine. It's like going back to square one!"

Ke Lan explained the rules of that level scene as comprehensively as possible.

Luo Xi listened carefully.

In the car, the others were also carefully listening to the rules of this scene.

After Ke Lan finished speaking, Mao Ge was still digesting and understanding, but Wu Rui, with her quick mind, already understood the core of the game.

"That is to say, if we want to obtain the [Undead], just clearing the level once is not enough, because even if we clear the level, it is only possible to draw the [Undead]."

"That's right, so when the time comes, each of us will participate, so that if we clear the level, the probability of drawing the [Undead] will be higher. According to the information I have, the probability of drawing the [Undead] is about one-third."

"One-third is not a small probability. If three of us clear the level, then at least one person will have a very high chance of obtaining the [Undead]."

"However, it is not so easy to find the [Grand Prize] box at a lower cost. Even if we don't consider the cost of [Memory] cards and eliminate all the 'Empty Boxes' first, there will inevitably be a few 'Trap Boxes'. Once you choose the wrong one, you will either get a negative status, or replenish the boxes and undo all your previous efforts. In severe cases, you will lose your hands and feet, or even lose your life directly!" Ke Lan was not so optimistic about this matter.

Because he had participated in this game and had a relatively good understanding of the mechanism, he knew that this level was definitely not so easy to clear.
