Day of Imprisonment

Just now, Luo Xi saw a figure.

It was right there, amidst the abandoned carousel facilities.

The other party was clearly waiting there, and after confirming that Luo Xi had discovered it, it immediately hid.

The intention was obvious.

As for this 'figure', Luo Xi had long been curious about its identity. The other party's deliberate appearance was to lure him over.

In that case, he would go and take a look.

Coincidentally, there were some things Luo Xi also wanted to find out from the other party.

The others had already reached the outside, while Luo Xi walked alone towards the abandoned carousel.

The amusement facilities were completely deserted, overgrown with weeds, and the floor was cracked in many places. The original dazzling colors had also become mottled under the wind and rain. At this moment, the amusement facilities had completely lost their original splendor, leaving only the horror and eeriness after the erosion of time.

Because it was a cloudy day, it looked even more frightening here.

The wind carried a dampness, and it was clear that it was about to rain.

Luo Xi didn't go in, but stood on the periphery, looked for a while, and said, "If you don't come out, I'm leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed out from behind a very strange-looking wooden horse that had completely lost its paint.

A礼服, 礼帽, and white gloves.

But a transparent person with only clothes and no body.

It was the 'Town Chief'.

Regarding this guy, Luo Xi had always suspected what his identity was.

When he met Zhang Zhe, the other party said that the Town Chief was a minion of the Witch Alliance, specializing in forcibly bringing Outsiders into the Fairytale Town.

So why did Zhang Zhe lie about the Town Chief?

He could have just said that he didn't know.

There was only one explanation.

He knew who the 'Town Chief' was.

Lying was just to cover up, and deliberately mixing lies into the truth, trying to muddle through.

But this just shows that the 'Town Chief' is not ordinary, otherwise, Zhang Zhe would not have needed to tell such a deliberate lie about the other party's identity.

Afterwards, Luo Xi analyzed and had a guess about the identity of the 'Town Chief'.

That existence that truly invaded 'Fairytale Town', the one who induced Zhang Zhe to betray.

"Wei Si, what's the matter?" Luo Xi asked, staring at the Town Chief over there.

The transparent person had no facial features and no expression, so it was impossible to tell the other party's reaction after hearing this sentence, whether it was expressionless or shocked.

Immediately afterwards, the 'Town Chief' took out a erasable whiteboard and wrote on it with a pen.

Then he picked it up and showed it to Luo Xi.

It said: why?

Why?

If you didn't know the cause and effect, and only saw the other party writing a word like this, you would definitely find it very abstract.

You wouldn't understand what the other party's intention was.

But Luo Xi understood instantly.

"I'll return this question to you as it is," Luo Xi said.

The other party didn't admit whether it was 'Wei Si' or not, but sometimes, there was no need to admit it.

Whether the other party was that 'existence' or not, it didn't matter. What mattered was the other party's position, which must be the same as 'Wei Si'.

That was enough.

And a 'why' represented a kind of test.

This was a bit like a primer, a hook and bait.

Trying to exchange the largest clue with the smallest price.

It can be understood as you being in the interrogation room, with an experienced interrogator with a gloomy face slamming a stack of files of unknown content heavily on the table, and at the same time, scolding: "Speak!"

Speak!

As for what to say, you fill in the blanks yourself.

Anything guilty you've done, anything sneaky or unscrupulous you've done, anything conscienceless, may have gone through your mind at this moment.

Even those with weak minds may say something.

A typical interrogation technique, but to be honest, using it on Luo Xi, this behavior itself was very childish.

So Luo Xi used his own method to return the favor, returning the question as it was.

Both of them knew what the other was asking why, what it meant, it just depended on who would say it.

You could not say it, Luo Xi would just leave, the other party should not have the ability to stop him, if they did, they would have already locked Luo Xi in a small dark room, and would not have chosen this kind of secretive meeting method.

The Town Chief erased the previous letters and wrote a line on the whiteboard again.

"I'm doing it for your own good, you shouldn't do this."

Another very abstract sentence.

Unknowing people would find it inexplicable, but precisely, Luo Xi could understand, and the other party was clearly observing Luo Xi's expression. Some questions didn't need to be answered, let alone answered, as long as they were asked, they could gain an advantage and instantly obtain the answer the questioner needed.

And Luo Xi's answer was: "Prove it to me!"

At this moment, the Town Chief behind the dilapidated wooden horse obviously paused.

The answer 'Prove it to me' was also abstract.

And only by putting it together with what the other party said before could it be better understood.

"I'm doing it for your own good, you shouldn't do this!"

"Prove it to me!"

What does 'do' refer to here?

The other party didn't say, and Luo Xi didn't point it out, and 'Prove it to me' was forcing the other party to provide more information.

Because I tacitly know what you are referring to as 'do', then in order not to let me 'do' this, you need to prove it.

How to prove it?

You can only provide some key information.

In the next moment, the Town Chief seemed to be in anger, and slapped the support pillar next to him. Although the thing was wrapped with something on the outside, it was metal on the inside. As a result, this directly broke it, and the roof of the carousel facility collapsed with a bang.

Footsteps approached quickly from behind, and An Zhiyan had already rushed up immediately, protecting Luo Xi behind her.

Her speed was extremely fast, and the distance of fifty meters only took less than three seconds.

"Let's go."

Luo Xi waved his hand, stopping Lin Qiqi, who was rushing over from behind.

The three of them walked out of the abandoned park one after another, and when they reached the street, raindrops had already fallen, and soon turned into a torrential downpour.

Under the awning outside a shopping mall on the street, the three of them took shelter from the rain.

"What was that thing just now?" Lin Qiqi asked.

"The existence that created this place," Luo Xi responded.

An Zhiyan and Lin Qiqi both had their eyes light up.

"So, it was very dangerous just now!" An Zhiyan felt that she had done a meritorious service in rescuing him.

"There is no danger for the time being. This is exactly the key information I obtained from the other party. Of course, vice versa, it also obtained what it wanted, so the real danger may be coming soon."

Luo Xi sighed.

Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan couldn't understand these words.

So Luo Xi told a story to help them understand.

"You are the master of a martial arts gym. You have absolute authority in the martial arts gym. For a long time, you have relied on the advantage of being the best at martial arts to enjoy the power and status of dominating everything, and the satisfaction it brings. Until one day, you find that there are students in the martial arts gym who may threaten you. This threat, you can understand as the challenge of a rising star to the old master. You are worried, you are afraid, so you decide to test the student's thoughts."

This metaphor was not appropriate.

But the core principle was similar.

It was 'both afraid that you have the ability, and afraid that you have ideas'.

"The other party will definitely take action," An Zhiyan thought carefully and came to a conclusion.

"They have already taken action, but failed," Luo Xi was talking about Fairytale Town. The other party was very smart. They started to take action when Hao Xiuwen used [Unknown Creature], which indirectly shows that every move here may be under some kind of surveillance.

It felt like it was terrifying to think about, but in fact, it also exposed a problem.

The seemingly powerful enemy cannot act without any scruples, otherwise, there is no need to do these things at all. The most effective way to eliminate threats is always direct physical destruction.

Not doing it is not because they are unwilling, let alone because the enemy is merciful, but because they cannot do it.

At this time, Luo Xi looked at the torrential rain outside, the cloudy sky, the constantly existing cycle days, and the 'Land of Imprisonment' where the sun could never be seen.

This was indeed a cage.

But sometimes when looking at problems, you have to look at them from different angles. For example, people inside the cage don't know how dangerous the outside world is. They only think that the cage imprisons their freedom. They are eager to break the cage and breathe the free air outside.

But if there is a bloodthirsty tiger outside, staring at the people in the cage, it will think, if it weren't for the protection of this cage, I would have eaten you long ago.

So, is it imprisonment or protection?

While thinking about this question, Luo Xi fell into a daze.

So much so that Lin Qiqi called him several times, but Luo Xi didn't respond at all. Helpless, she reached out and patted him, and Luo Xi came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?"

"Qian Fatty is here."

"Luo Bro, I missed you so much!" Qian Fatty pounced on him, like a large wild boar.

This guy was actually crying.

"Luo Bro, you've been missing for two cycle days. I... I thought you wouldn't be able to come out, sob sob ~" Fatty was really crying.

You could see that his hands were shaking, obviously very excited.

"Didn't we come out? Where are the others?" Luo Xi saw that only Fatty had come.

Brother Mao, Ke Lan, Wu Rui and Guo Zening and the others didn't come.

"The few of them have been clearing the same scenario for these two cycle days, but that scenario is very difficult and very strange. Last time, they all lost in it. This time I guess it's also hanging. I originally planned to go in and help them, but they asked me to stay outside, saying that if Luo Bro you come out, there will be someone to respond..."

Luo Xi was very curious.

The scenario that could make Brother Mao and Ke Lan work together so hard, even if they died once, they would continue to clear it, must be very special.

"What exactly is going on?"

Luo Xi asked Qian Fatty to explain in detail.

"The matter has to start two days ago when you disappeared..."
