Day of Imprisonment

#329 - Rewards for recovering the soul

"Brother Mao, I still have a question. You are always so cautious, and Ke Lan's observation and analysis skills are not weak. Plus Wu Rui, logically speaking, with the cooperation of you few, even if this scene is very dangerous, you shouldn't be so easily tainted by the curse. Even if you are tainted, you wouldn't be wiped out twice in a row. No, in fact, if we hadn't come this time, today would have been the day of your third wipeout. Don't you find it strange?"

Luo Xi voiced a question he had discovered.

He felt that something was very wrong with this matter.

"I, I don't remember. It seems like I was just accidentally tainted by the curse, and then couldn't find a solution. After being completely invaded by the curse, I would lose consciousness, commit suicide, and then wake up on the next loop day." Mao Ge thought carefully for a moment and shook his head: "Without you here, with just the few of us, it really might not work."

"That's not right!" Luo Xi shook his head: "You guys are being too self-deprecating. I don't know about others, but I know you very well. In critical moments, you will definitely activate [Resentful Aura Soaring to the Sky] without hesitation, but the process you told me before didn't mention it at all."

Upon hearing this, Mao Ge frowned and thought about it.

"I, I really don't remember activating [Resentful Aura Soaring to the Sky]."

"So this is very abnormal."

"Luo Xi, have you discovered something else?"

Luo Xi shook his head: "No, I'm just deducing the results based on the actual situation. I feel that there are missing parts in the entire chain of events, which leads to a possibility."

"What possibility?" Liu Mao asked curiously.

"That there are other unknown threats in this place, that is, even if the people who come here don't open the shrine, they will be subjected to some kind of 'attack'."

"Really?" Liu Mao scratched his head: "I've been here, this is the third time, but I don't remember any other dangers."

"Perhaps, I'm mistaken."

At this time, Liu Mao looked around and said, "We're here, it's right here. I remember, the last time I was entangled by the curse, the last time I was conscious was in this place. There's a grove of ginkgo trees over there, I remember it very clearly."

The two walked over.

They easily found the shrine under a tree.

It was a wooden shrine, with an apricot-yellow texture.

"Do you have any impression?" Luo Xi asked.

Liu Mao shook his head.

"This place is not easy to be discovered. Let's try offering incense first to see if it's a Curse Shrine. Maybe we can hit the jackpot." Luo Xi said honestly, after wandering around this way, he had hardly seen the existence of other Remnants.

Except for the few people they encountered by the lake before, they hadn't encountered any other Remnants along the way.

So, from the last loop day until now, Mao Ge might be the only one who died around this shrine.

If this shrine is a 'Curse Shrine', then there is a high probability that he can draw his own curse.

At least 70-80%.

"I'll open it." With Luo Xi sitting here, Mao Ge's confidence also increased a lot. He stepped forward to light the incense and offer it to the altar. His hand was very steady. At the moment he stuck it in, the small wooden door of the shrine opened.

Inside was a black hole.

It really was a Curse Shrine!

This was what he and Luo Xi had agreed upon beforehand. If his own 'Curse' crawled out of the Curse Shrine, then he would nod, otherwise he would shake his head.

"Good heavens, I didn't expect... I could look so scary." In Mao Ge's eyes, a curse that looked exactly like him squeezed out of the shrine's narrow black hole. This curse was covered in blood, its bones were broken, and its skin was torn. Not to mention others, even he himself was terrified when he saw it.

But his curse was very strong.

It easily devoured another curse under his feet, and then crawled towards him.

The next moment, it drilled into his body.

Liu Mao only felt as if he had suddenly been thrown into ice water. Bone-chilling cold instantly erupted in his body, followed by a sense of suffocation. He tried to speak, but his body was no longer under his control, and his eyes went black, unable to see anything.

However, just as Liu Mao thought he would die inexplicably this time and then wake up on the next loop day, he suddenly saw many images.

It was a memory.

It was the entire process of his second entry into the Tree Sea Park, including many details he had forgotten before, and how he had died the second time.

The memory recall seemed long, but in reality, it was only in the blink of an eye.

Liu Mao regained sensation in his body. He took a few deep breaths, and then felt that he had something in his hand.

Looking down.

It was three cards.

In addition to a [Memory], a [Curse], there was also a [Memory Fragment].

"Are these... rewards?" Liu Mao immediately told Luo Xi the process and the three cards.

Luo Xi nodded in agreement.

The [Memory] one doesn't need much explanation.

[Curse] is a summoning card, which reads: Can use the [Resentment] card to summon one's own curse to appear for battle, lasting for fifteen minutes - Please note that this is a one-time product.

Even if it can only be used once, the value of this [Curse] is beyond doubt.

Very powerful.

But the difficulty of obtaining it is not small. You need to die in the hands of the curse in the previous loop day, and then find your own curse on the next loop day.

Its value can be considered worthy of its difficulty to obtain.

As for the last 【Memory Shard】, the card's description reads: From an unknown target, please choose carefully whether to activate it - — — Others' memories can drive you to schizophrenia!

“Can I have this card?” Luo Xi asked.

“Of course, if you need it.” Mao Ge was very generous, especially towards Luo Xi. He wouldn't hesitate to give him all the cards in his card ring, let alone just one card: “But I think the description of this card seems very dangerous, Luo Xi. You wouldn't be thinking of activating this card, would you?”

“It's a good option.” Luo Xi didn't deny his thoughts.

Moreover, after seeing this card, Luo Xi had a new discovery.

He found an extra 'number' on this 【Memory Shard】.

It can be determined that this is not a numbered card. It should be another kind of identification, and its meaning can be inferred from the word 'shard' in the card's name.

“In other words, there is more than one of these memory shards. Perhaps, every Cursed Shrine has a similar 【Memory Shard】, and the way to obtain it is as a reward for someone retrieving their Curse.”

These are all Luo Xi's speculations.

Not guaranteed to be true.

To explore this secret, besides taking Mao Ge to find the other party's second Curse, he can also activate this 【Memory Shard】.

Of course, there are risks, but Luo Xi thought about it and didn't seem to have anything to fear.

The description on the card is 'Others' memories can drive you to schizophrenia'.

It sounds scary.

“But I already have schizophrenia. I'm a severely mentally ill person. As the saying goes, when there are too many lice, they don't bite. Does one more or one less make a difference?” Luo Xi smiled, a very happy smile, and he knew that some foreign personalities had actually been mixed into his personality.

For example, when using 【Copper Mirror of Memory】, he was invaded by the young lady's resentment.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Didn't anything happen?

Among a hundred black cats, mixing in a red cat seems a bit eye-catching, but in the final analysis, they are all cats.

Most importantly, Luo Xi was very curious about the content of this 【Memory Shard】.

Because he already had some guesses.

“Mao Ge, wait for me for a few minutes.” After Luo Xi finished speaking, he directly activated the 【Memory Shard】 in his hand.

Mao Ge didn't even have time to stop him.

After activating the card, this thing immediately disappeared, like a cloud of smoke, instantly drilling into Luo Xi's mouth and nose.

His body shook, and the black pupils in his eyes immediately disappeared.

As if covered with a layer of turbid milky white.

From Luo Xi's perspective, he saw a strange memory.

“Am I crying?”

“Why?”

In front of him was a desk, the light of the desk lamp was soft, but it gave people an extremely annoying restlessness. There were many books and workbooks on the desk.

“Am I doing homework?”

“That's right, I've finished my homework. What I'm writing now is extracurricular enrichment, it's a workbook, but I don't want to write. I want to go out and play... or watch cartoons, or even play with the cartoon cards in the drawer.”

“I like cards. My classmates are all collecting them. If they are rare, they can be exchanged for snacks, or even pocket money...”

Many memories were impacting his consciousness, like a pool of black water, suddenly a thick pipe was quickly pouring clean water into it, and soon, the original black water was quickly diluted.

The pool was still the same pool, but the water was no longer the same water.

In a room, a girl holding a pencil and writing homework looked up and looked around at this time.

Her expression changed, sometimes frowning, sometimes helpless, sometimes horrified, and sometimes showing a look of wanting to cry.

It was as if several different thoughts had emerged in a short period of time.

But in the end, these thoughts stabilized into a kind of indifference, a kind of blank expression that could not be seen on the face of a girl of this age.

She looked up at the room.

Then she got off the chair and walked to the mirror.

At this time, a strange scene appeared. It was clearly a girl, but in the mirror, it was a man.

They stared at each other for a long time.

At this time, there seemed to be a quarrel coming from outside the room.

It sounded like an ordinary family quarrel.

But soon, the quarrel escalated.

There was the sound of a cup breaking.

But even so, everything up to now was still very normal, until a doll placed on the bed suddenly moved, got up, and crawled down...

In the next moment, the doll seemed to have discovered something and suddenly pounced on it.

The screen went black.

“Luo Xi, are you, are you okay?”
