Day of Imprisonment

The burly man outside saw the female receptionist come out and immediately stepped forward: "What did the boss say?"

The female receptionist glanced at him: "First, find out that person's plan and thoughts, then get rid of him, lest he cause us trouble."

"Leave this to me," the burly man volunteered.

The female receptionist thought for a moment: "Whether that person has real skills or not, since he dares to say so, we'll assume he does have some tricks up his sleeve. So, you can't go alone. I'll go with you. Let's go to Room 4. You go prepare first, and I'll bring him over. We'll question him first, then take action."

"Alright, that's safer," the burly man nodded.

"Also, have Old Dai keep an eye on the entrance. That person might have accomplices."

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time we've done something like this," the burly man chuckled.

"Also, also, after this matter is resolved, you personally go find Gray Shadow and ask if there's been any trouble on his end. The boss said that Cinderella didn't attend the ball at this time!"

The burly man nodded repeatedly before turning and walking out.

The female receptionist took a deep breath and shook her head.

She had a feeling that something was off about today's matter.

Gray Shadow's matter, and also, the look in that person's eyes. She felt like she had seen that person's eyes somewhere before.

She had a very good memory. If she had seen someone recently, she couldn't possibly forget them.

And to identify a person's features, besides their appearance, there are their eyes.

In her opinion, everyone's eyes are different, and everyone's eyes have their own unique characteristics.

But suddenly, she couldn't remember at all.

But this couldn't delay the plan.

"Please sit down. I think it's more private to talk here, after all, the matter we're going to discuss is extraordinary," the female receptionist's reason was impeccable: "Normally, this is a place exclusively for VIP customers to play cards."

The implication was, today, you are our VIP customer.

"Not bad, but it's a little small," Luo Xi looked around.

"If it's just the two of us, it's not small at all," the female receptionist smiled: "So, you can talk about the plan to dismantle the Witch Alliance now. But before that, I don't know what to call you."

As soon as the other party spoke, she would signal, and the burly man outside the door would rush in to attack.

Luo Xi shook his head: "Where's your boss?"

"The boss isn't here right now, but he has entrusted this matter entirely to me." Before the female receptionist could finish speaking, Luo Xi suddenly took a step forward and stabbed her in the neck with a knife, while simultaneously embracing her, controlling her body and arms.

"It's okay, the place I stabbed won't kill you immediately. Relax, take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy." Hearing the voice in her ear, the female receptionist's eyes were filled with horror. She really couldn't believe that this guy would attack directly.

Was he crazy?

Didn't he know this was the Dark Furnace Tavern? Doing this was completely declaring war.

Anger and fear washed over her. She wanted to fight back, but she couldn't break free at all.

In terms of strength, the other party could suppress her. Maybe he used some kind of card that enhanced strength, or maybe the other party's profession card belonged to the type that enhanced physique.

It must be, because this guy didn't die even after suffering such severe burns, it must be because of his extraordinary physique.

Soon, she felt like she had no strength left.

"Your eyes are very beautiful, yes, look at me, what's the code to contact that big guy? Shouting, slapping the table, smashing a cup, or clapping? I see, it's clapping; how many times? 1, 2, 3. Got it, 3 times."

Hearing this, the female receptionist was as if she had seen a ghost.

She thought, does this guy have mind-reading abilities?

No.

He's observing my pupil reaction.

Telling the truth and lying, if the person knows in advance, there will definitely be different reactions.

The other party can capture and observe these subtle reactions.

The female receptionist had heard people say that someone could do this, but she didn't quite believe it, but today she believed it.

Wait a minute, so, he already saw that this was a trap, so he chose to strike first?

Immediately afterwards, she was placed on a chair. Because of blood loss, the female receptionist felt weak all over, and her consciousness gradually blurred.

Soon she saw the other party hiding at the door, and then, clapping three times.

She wanted to warn, but she couldn't shout at all.

The burly man broke in, and then was ambushed by the other party.

The female receptionist knew very well that her ability was not combat, but 'language'.

Similar to a witch's spell, she could use the power of some 'language' to influence the enemy, but the knife that the other party stabbed into her neck had already pierced her vocal cords. Was this a coincidence?

However, the burly man was a true battle maniac. In terms of strength, speed, and recovery ability, he was already at the standard of an elite C-rank. Ordinary Memory Retrievers were not his opponents at all.

Now she could only hope that the burly man would win.

However, even so, she was going to die.

Although she could be resurrected, she would lose a lot of memories, and she could only be reborn in the graveyard of Node 0. Then, everything she had accumulated for so long would be reduced to ashes. At that time, she would forget a lot of things, and the Dark Furnace Tavern would most likely not accept her again.

Thinking of this, fear was like icy bugs, crawling all over her body in an instant.

She no longer had the courage to do it again.

But this kind of thing was beyond her control.

“Fortunately, that bastard will be buried with me.” This was the female receptionist's only hope now. She held onto this last breath, wanting to see the other party killed by the burly man.

Ideally, a torturous death!

The burly man seemed to have activated some kind of card, but he was caught off guard at the beginning. Although he landed several heavy blows on the opponent, he soon began to sway. Finally, his eyes rolled back, and he vomited green foam, collapsing onto the ground like a mountain.

“Damn it, that guy is too vicious. He must have used some kind of poison-type card. But that's not right, the burly man has strong poison resistance. He wouldn't die even if he ate rat poison.” The female receptionist's vision was already starting to blur.

She was fortunate that the other party had also been punched a few times by the burly man, and she knew that the burly man's fists could easily break internal organs and ribs.

The female receptionist thought that the ugly freak was finished too.

It's just that the loss this time is heavy. I hope the burly man can survive.

However, the next moment, the person who had originally fallen on the ground in the female receptionist's vision stood up again.

She widened her eyes again, as if in a final burst of energy, her brain filled with doubt, fear, and shock.

“He... he didn't die? That's impossible. The burly man would never show mercy.” The female receptionist quickly saw a scene that filled her with fear and anger. The other party was holding a knife, stabbing the burly man, who was trying to stand up, several times in the neck.

Very professional, without the slightest hesitation or delay.

The burly man stopped moving completely.

Afterward, that person got up.

Snap, something fell down.

It was a piece of skin from a scar.

That person touched the missing piece of scar on his neck, then reached out and peeled off all the scars that looked like dried human skin along his neck. Unbelievably, under the scars was not a bloody face, but a normal-looking face, like a cicada shedding its skin.

“It's him.” The female receptionist remembered that this person had come around seven o'clock in the evening. At that time, he had given her a very good impression, and she had even planned to spend the night with him if he was willing. But she didn't expect that meeting him again would be without any romance.

The next moment, the other party walked over and pulled up a chair to sit down.

“We don't have any deep grudges. Leave a line for others, so we can meet again in the future. I won't take your and his card rings. Now tell me, where is your boss?”

The female receptionist thought carefully. Although the other party was particularly ruthless, he did indeed abide by the rules.

He didn't even glance at her and the burly man's card rings.

She could no longer speak. With her last strength, she pointed to the ground, then shook her head. Immediately afterward, her head tilted, and she died.

Luo Xi reached out and closed her eyelids.

Originally, if the other party hadn't wanted to attack, Luo Xi wouldn't have wanted to create extra trouble. But for him, nipping danger in the bud was his consistent style.

It was obvious that asking about himself and then killing him was the order given by the tavern owner.

It wasn't the female receptionist and the burly man's fault, but they had to bear the consequences.

This is reality.

Luo Xi then searched the bodies. Even if the Rememberers who died in Fairytale Town retained their card rings, their corpses would not disappear. However, like outside, once a Rememberer died, they could no longer seize the card ring, but other things besides card tools would be retained.

The female receptionist didn't have anything good on her, only small dolls that looked like she had made herself.

Hidden in her pocket was a small bag with needles and thread.

This may have been one of her few hobbies here.

A little bear. Luo Xi liked it very much and took it away.

The burly man had a knife and wine on him.

The half-foot-long short knife was more like a delicate dagger. As for the metal flask of wine, it was very strong. Luo Xi took a sip and felt a malty aroma, feeling warm all over.

Let's take it away too.

【Gourmand】, the characteristic of this card is that it is not picky about food. Wine is brewed from grain, so it is of course also a kind of gourmet food.

Through eating, the wounds were repaired. Although the process was relatively slow, it took nearly three hours to peel off the burned skin on his body in the form of scars, and then grow new skin. But it must be said that even this slow recovery ability was an absolutely rare card ability within the Day of Imprisonment.

Luo Xi changed into a set of clothes.

His original clothes were already covered in blood and could not be worn. Fortunately, he had taken off the Shadow Moon Cloth Shirt before, otherwise, he would have suffered a great loss if this set of clothes was damaged.

Pushing the door open and walking out, then slowly closing the door, Luo Xi walked towards the corridor inside the bar.

Before she died, the female receptionist pointed below, meaning that the boss might be below, or that the tavern owner could be contacted below.

In addition, her shaking her head also had several meanings.

The boss is not here.

It's dangerous below, don't go.

Luo Xi's main focus was on not listening to advice. Moreover, since he had already killed someone from the tavern, this feud could not be resolved. If he walked outside, he would definitely be stopped by the gatekeepers and other employees of the tavern. If they mobilized other guests on the scene to besiege him, he would definitely have to report to the cemetery.

Therefore, seeing what was inside the tavern and continuing to talk to their boss was the best choice.
