Day of Imprisonment

Misty rain is a special meteorological phenomenon. In rainy or foggy weather, the density of raindrops or fog droplets is high, forming a thin mist like smoke filling the air.

Lin Qiqi walked in the misty rain with an umbrella, her figure tall and graceful, like a fairy in the clouds.

"There's someone down there!"

She passed several shrines along the way, but her duty was to find people, so she only observed the style of the shrines and noted their locations before continuing forward. While crossing a small river along a wooden bridge, she found someone standing under the bridge.

Taking a closer look, her eyes lit up, and she immediately called out, "Wu Rui!"

However, Wu Rui under the bridge remained motionless.

This made Lin Qiqi's heart skip a beat.

"Could it be, she's dead again?"

She didn't plan to take a detour, so she directly climbed over the railing and slowly climbed down along the protrusions beside the wooden bridge.

Getting closer, she saw that Wu Rui seemed to be staring at the river.

Somewhat absent-minded.

Her body swayed, as if she would fall headfirst if she wasn't careful.

Lin Qiqi rushed over and pulled her back.

Wu Rui also seemed to be awakened, stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look.

"Lin Qiqi?"

Her relationship with Lin Qiqi was strange. Although they were in the same camp because of Luo Xi, they seemed to have some competition with each other.

Of course, in Lin Qiqi's eyes, Wu Rui, this 'demure girl,' was not a threat, so she didn't really care about some of her past 'provocative' behaviors.

"I finally found you. Where are the others?" Lin Qiqi asked while checking her over.

Wu Rui was fine, except for being soaked, there were no other problems.

Of course, judging from her appearance, she was probably entangled by some kind of curse again.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked like that just now.

Sure enough, Wu Rui would occasionally turn her head to look to one side, but in Lin Qiqi's eyes, there was no one there.

Lin Qiqi asked again, and Wu Rui came back to her senses.

"I, I don't know. Things are a bit strange. I seem to be... not quite right," Wu Rui said after recalling for a while, discovering the problem.

She actually forgot how she got separated from the others.

Brother Mao, Ke Lan, and Guo Zening, they were clearly still acting together before, but it seemed that in a daze, she was the only one left.

And she didn't remember when that terrifying curse beside her had caught up with her.

At this moment, the female ghost covered in blood was tightly holding her hand, twisting her head, grinning strangely, and staring at her with a gaze that made people emotionally collapse and go crazy.

Even if it wasn't the first time being contaminated by a curse, it was difficult to adapt and get used to it to the point of completely ignoring it.

"If you can't remember, don't think about it. Your soul is very weak now, and it's flickering on and off. But don't worry, we're here. Luo Xi is here," Lin Qiqi said.

"Luo Xi?" Wu Rui was stunned for a moment, then widened her eyes. Her originally dazed eyes seemed to regain their light: "Where is Luo Xi?"

"He is exploring this scenario and asked me to find people. Come with me, and in a while, I'll take you to see Luo Xi," Lin Qiqi looked at the time.

There were less than twenty minutes left until their agreed meeting time.

She planned to take another walk around. If she didn't find anything, she would return to the shrine by Suicide Lake.

Wu Rui nodded.

Suddenly, she frowned and touched her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiqi was really afraid that something would happen to her at this time.

"I seem to have forgotten something very important," Wu Rui's face was pale, her lips were also white, without any blood, and her hair and body were covered in blood-colored rain.

Lin Qiqi immediately hugged her, and the two shared an umbrella. Seeing that Wu Rui was shaking badly, she simply took off her coat and put it on Wu Rui.

"Luo Xi has already discerned some of the rules of this place. One of them is that if you are killed by a curse, that is, the so-called suicide, a part of your remnant soul will be left here, and the remnant soul will become a new curse. He is sure that these remnant souls contain some memories, so it's normal for you to forget some things. After all, you have died here twice."

After listening, Wu Rui thought for a while and immediately shook her head: "No, that's not right. What I mean is that I seem to have forgotten something very important about today. According to what you said, even if I lost my remnant soul, it would be the memory from before, not today. I remember something very important that happened today, but I can't remember it."

At this moment, Wu Rui's mental state was very bad.

It was obviously abnormal.

This wasn't really Lin Qiqi lying.

She was probably one of the most admiring people of Luo Xi among these people.

She was also one of the people who unconditionally trusted Luo Xi.

In Lin Qiqi's eyes, Luo Xi could solve any problem, no matter how difficult.

Interestingly, she was a very rational person, but when it came to Luo Xi, she could switch to being a sentimental person in a second. Her trust in Luo Xi was often unreasonable and blind.

Supporting the obviously weak Wu Rui, Lin Qiqi walked to the road, preparing to return along the original path.

But after only a few steps, they heard the sound of a bell ringing in the distance.

Wu Rui was stunned, and then, as if she remembered something, her expression changed drastically.

"Lin Qiqi, run!"

"What's wrong?"

"I remember now, run, don't worry about me, and don't look back." Wu Rui's tone was hurried, but at this moment, she seemed to have lost her original dazedness and weakness. She pushed Lin Qiqi away and took out a dagger.

She was in a state of readiness.

"Lin Qiqi, I don't want you to end up here too, turn around and run!" Wu Rui was anxious when she realized Lin Qiqi wasn't planning to listen to her. She almost roared.

It was clear that Wu Rui was really anxious.

Although Lin Qiqi didn't understand what was happening, she knew that Wu Rui wouldn't say such things for no reason.

So, she restrained her curiosity, turned around, but she didn't run. Instead, she took a few steps forward, took out her card book, took out her [Magic Ring] and [Wand], put them on, held them in her hand, and began to silently chant a spell.

Ding-a-ling~

It sounded like the opponent was still far away.

The latest novel is first published at Six Nine Book Bar!

Then, another 'ding-a-ling'.

But this time, the sound of the bell suddenly appeared behind her.

Lin Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. She turned around almost without hesitation and released the prepared spell.

She was actually very strong in the witch talent. However, in Fairy Tale Town, because there was Cinderella, a witch seedling who cheated, her super talent didn't show much.

But in fact, Lin Qiqi was able to pass the ancient castle witch's assessment smoothly, which shows that she really had some skills.

Lin Qiqi is very smart.

She knew very well how to use her advantages.

So her spells were released in conjunction with her professional cards, which she called the enhanced version of [Soul Shock].

This method is especially effective in yin and yang attribute scenarios.

The spell attracted a little lightning power. Her figure changed in an instant, her hair fluttered, her eyes shone, and her whispers sounded like thunder, rumbling loudly.

And opposite her stood a very tall figure, dressed in black, holding a black umbrella.

The fingers holding the umbrella handle were extremely long and large, and the nails were black, thick, and sharp, several times larger than those of normal people, definitely not the size of normal people. And on the black umbrella, there were some small bells tied.

The sound heard before should have come from these bells.

The moment she saw this thing, Lin Qiqi immediately felt an unspeakable palpitation, and she found that the other party's other hand had already grabbed over. If she moved slower, she would be caught.

That palm was not like a human's.

However, the other party also seemed to have been impacted by the [Soul Shock].

The thunder roared, the bells rang sharply, and in the next moment, the other party's figure had appeared dozens of meters away.

Not walking over, not running over, but like teleporting.

The fear in Lin Qiqi's heart immediately surged out, but she immediately suppressed it, biting her lip tightly, even though she felt like her heart was about to jump out, she remained motionless, maintaining the witch state under the magic blessing.

This made her body like a black hole, absorbing the surrounding light, her hair fluttering, and her eyes shining with dazzling light.

The few seconds of eye contact felt like centuries of torment to her.

It seemed that the other party was also afraid.

They were in a stalemate.

Just then, footsteps and voices came from the distance.

Someone was coming.

The bell rang again, and the tall monster holding the black umbrella disappeared instantly. Then, from the jungle over there, came the screams of some unlucky ghosts.

Lin Qiqi解除了女巫的状态，她脸色苍白，难以想象刚才撑着黑伞的东西究竟是什么，而旁边的吴蕊已经咬着牙跑过来，两人对视一眼，互相搀扶，急忙离开了这个恐怖的区域。

After running hundreds of meters away, they slowed down.

"What was that?"

"I remember now, I encountered that thing every time I came here, but the strange thing is that I forgot about it afterwards... But this time was an exception. It didn't attack successfully, and we escaped." Wu Rui gasped for breath. At first, her face was pale, but now it was flushed.

Lin Qiqi noticed this. She looked at Wu Rui and said with some surprise, "Your soul is more stable than before."

After thinking for a while, she continued, "So that thing, as long as you encounter it, will it cause temporary amnesia, or a state similar to soul weakness?"

"But this time, I feel very good." Wu Rui took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

"Because that thing didn't succeed. It was scared by my [Soul Shock] and then distracted by other people... No, this thing is too dangerous. I have to tell Luo Xi immediately..." Lin Qiqi reacted.

Obviously, all the previous information about the Tree Sea Park did not contain a single word about this black umbrella monster.

Either they were infected by the curse and committed suicide before encountering it.

Or, they were attacked immediately after encountering it, losing a part of their soul and memory.

If this is the case, it can only mean that this black umbrella monster is too terrifying. As long as you encounter it, unless you have a means similar to [Soul Shock], otherwise, you cannot escape.
