Day of Imprisonment

Coincidentally, just as the teddy bear was writing with its butt in the air, a few more Memory Retrievers arrived.

They seemed to have come for the name.

They probably wanted to try their luck at Doudou's Game House, but when they arrived, they found the teddy bear writing. After seeing clearly what was written, the Memory Retrievers were all dumbfounded.

"Double? What's this? A rip-off?"

"Should we still go in?"

"Forget it. According to the current situation, a game that originally cost one [Memory] now costs two. Similarly, the all-access pass must also have doubled. It used to cost three [Memories], but now it costs six. It's not cost-effective. Even if we manage to successfully challenge a few projects, we'll still lose money. Let's go."

The Memory Retrievers shook their heads and left.

Doudou's face was twitching. However, she was the one who set this situation. It was like a table full of extremely unpalatable food. She was the chef, and she had to eat it even if she had to hold her nose.

"Are you guys not leaving yet?" Doudou couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"It seems there's some misunderstanding between us. Now that you're officially open for business, of course, we have to come and support you," Luo Xi said as he walked in.

"Heh, fine," Doudou squinted. "Which project do you want to play?"

"Um, can we see the project list?"

"It's on the shelf over there. Get it yourself!" Doudou walked over and kicked the teddy bear in the butt. "What are you doing standing here? You're so slow. Stop writing and keep an eye on things for me. If anyone violates the scene rules, kill them directly."

It was obvious that Doudou was very angry.

Ke Lan turned to the side and whispered to Mao Ge and Wu Rui, "Why is she acting like a child? She's still holding a grudge about what happened last time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Doudou turned her head and glared over.

Obviously, as an administrator, and the administrator of such a medium-to-large-scale checkpoint scene, Doudou must have strengthened her physique to Elite Rank B.

She definitely had excellent hearing and eyesight.

Whispering at this distance was like speaking in her ear.

Ke Lan could see the fierceness in her eyes. If they really violated the rules, even if it was a small matter, she might use it as an excuse to punish them according to the highest standards.

In an instant, Ke Lan couldn't help but think of an old saying in his heart.

Of course, he could only say it in his heart, not out loud. Otherwise, there was a high chance that he would be beaten to death by this Doudou.

The charge would be 'insulting the administrator'.

Immediately, Ke Lan quickly picked up a project list and started reading it carefully.

It was better not to provoke this Doudou.

Luo Xi had already put down the project list and walked closer. "Doudou, do you have any projects here that aren't listed?"

"What are you talking about? All the games in this scene are listed on the project list, with clear prices and no deception. If you talk nonsense, I'll execute you for defamation," Doudou said with a gloomy face, considering whether this reason she made up could pass the 'Company's' review.

If it could, she would immediately dismember this bastard in front of her.

Everyone could see that Doudou had a lot of hostility.

As for the reason, everyone knew.

It was because they had cleared the ten-person difficulty 'Haunted House Escape' last time, which caused the employee's company's points for that game project to become negative.

Perhaps, they had already been punished.

As for what the punishment was, according to the 'Company's' style, having their memories stripped and turned into Memory Losers would be the lightest.

But they couldn't force their way in, so this matter, not to mention getting Doudou's help, at least had to get her consent.

Otherwise, this matter would not be accomplished.

After thinking about it, Luo Xi looked at Doudou, and the latter also stared back without giving in.

"Doudou, are you satisfied with this job?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.

"What?" Doudou was stunned.

She didn't quite understand what this question was for, and no one had ever asked this question before.

Even she herself had never considered 'whether she was satisfied with her current job'. Not to mention considering it, she had never even thought about it.

Because in her opinion, it was not a question at all.

A long time ago, before Doudou became an administrator, she had heard someone say something.

"Even 'administrators' are just part of the Day of Imprisonment. They are just as helpless as those Memory Retrievers. They, like those Memory Retrievers, are prisoners trapped in time and memory!"

Doudou agreed with this sentence and felt empathy. Therefore, as a 'prisoner', everything was forced. They were struggling in pain and helplessness. How could they be satisfied with this job?

"What the hell do you want?" Doudou, who was somewhat broken by the question, had an even worse expression.

This Memory Retriever in front of her was very special.

She had seen all kinds of Memory Retrievers. These Memory Retriever customers made up the daily life of countless past loop days, which also gave her the ability to observe people.

What kind of person the other party was could basically be seen at a glance.

In Doudou's own words to her employees, looking at people was like looking at a pond.

Some ponds are clear, some are turbid, some have fish in them, and some have shrimp, or lush aquatic plants, or strange rocks at the bottom. Even those ponds that are so turbid that you can't see clearly can still reveal some general things.

Whether the water ripples or remains as still as a mirror, it doesn't matter; she can use her methods to stir the pool and observe what happens.

Ultimately, a pond is just a pond.

But this Memory Retriever in front of her is different. She also seems to be a pond, but when she carefully looks at what's beneath the surface, she suddenly discovers a terrifying eye staring back at her.

Luo Xi smiled. "That girl named Xiaohu is very lucky to have a 'boss' like you. It's clear that you treat your employees very well. And this place of yours is one of the few places I've been to that's decorated like a 'home.' The paintings on the walls, the clean and tidy desks, and the decorations on the lamps all show that you've put your heart into making this place a home and treating Xiaohu and the others like family. So it's normal for you to be angry when something happens to her. It shows that you have the thoughts and feelings of a normal person and haven't devolved into one of those desperate, walking corpses."

Hearing this, Dou Dou frowned, both surprised by the other party's observational skills and very puzzled. Was this guy saying all this to beg for mercy?

The most up ⊥ to ⊥ date ⊥ novels ⊥ are ⊥ at ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ Book ⊥ Bar ⊥ First ⊥ Published!

But I won't accept it.

But Luo Xi's next sentence directly enraged her.

Luo Xi stared at her, saying each word clearly, "But what does your company punishing her have to do with me? You can't afford to offend the company, so you're so incompetent that you take your anger out on customers? Sorry, I won't accept it."

Bang~

A loud crash.

The table in front of Dou Dou was directly smashed to pieces by her punch. Her fist even broke through the layers of panels underneath, slamming heavily onto the floor.

Ke Lan, Mao Ge, and Wu Rui could feel the ground shake beneath their feet.

The three of them were dumbfounded.

"What kind of power is that?"

"Good lord, this girl is not to be trifled with."

"Is the floor going to be punched through?"

They were witnessing the full destructive power of a manager for the first time. The table was as if it had been hit by a speeding car. If that fist had landed on a person, it would probably have shattered them.

Dou Dou kept staring intently at Luo Xi, but the other party's expression didn't change in the slightest. There was no fear, no surprise, just like a mountain that had been weathered by storms. No matter how much she threatened or displayed her power, she couldn't shake the other party's state of mind.

"Interesting!" Dou Dou retracted her fist and stood up, her eyes filled with coldness. She turned her back and paced back and forth.

The teddy bear wanted to come over to劝, but didn't dare. Moreover, the commotion here had attracted more employees from the game room who were in charge of other game projects. For example, several people wearing large rhinoceros and rabbit mascot costumes ran over, but they only watched from a distance, not daring to approach.

Ke Lan couldn't help but approach a raccoon mascot who had just run over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with your Boss Dou?"

The raccoon turned its head and glanced at Ke Lan.

Realizing it was an acquaintance.

After hesitating for a moment, it replied in an even lower voice, "You guys should pray for yourselves. Boss Dou usually paces around when she's considering a problem and is hesitant. She's probably thinking about how to kill you guys and still be able to explain it to the company."

"But what Boss said is right. That girl named Xiaohu's situation is indeed worthy of sympathy, but we're not the ones who caused all this. It's the evil 'company.' You guys can't possibly not understand this, right? What, you don't dare bully the powerful, so you only know how to pick on us soft persimmons?" Ke Lan said coldly, his words filled with contempt.

"Sigh," the raccoon probably also felt that what Ke Lan said made sense, but it was powerless to do anything about it. After all, even Boss Dou couldn't violate the company's rules and regulations.

A minute later.

Dou Dou suddenly stopped, raised her head, clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then sighed, her fists loosening.

Then she turned around, revealed a smile, and said to Luo Xi, "Welcome to Dou Dou's Game Room! We have all kinds of thrilling and exciting game projects. You can buy tickets individually or buy a package deal. The package deal is more cost-effective!"

"Boss Dou..." The teddy bear next to her froze, including the other employees wearing mascot costumes, who became even more worried.

Although Dou Dou was acting very normal at the moment and didn't pursue the previous grievances.

But this was very abnormal.

Extremely abnormal.

They were all familiar with their Boss Dou. This matter had a strange feeling to it. After all, something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary.

"Everyone, go back to your respective duties. Who told you to leave your posts?" Dou Dou scolded at this time. Some of the mascots hesitated. Some thought about it and walked towards their posts, but it could be seen that they were worried and it was difficult to concentrate on their work.

Seeing this, Dou Dou could only say, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This person is right. Xiaohu's matter can't be blamed on others. It's her own fault for not being ambitious. It was clearly a very simple project, but she messed it up. She always went easy on those Memory Retrievers out of sympathy, which led to her performance being at the bottom. I, you, have helped her many times, but that's not a solution. Even if we can get through it at the time, something will still happen in the future. This is her fate. She's not suitable for surviving in this messed up world. Perhaps leaving is the best choice for her. At least I know where she is and what she's doing..."

Only then did the mascots leave.

After Dou Dou finished speaking, she looked at Luo Xi. "So, what project do you want to play? Oh, and to express my apologies, I will personally be your game guide and provide 'playmate' services for free!"
