Day of Imprisonment

#331 - The second fragment

Luo Xi didn't waste any more time.

He and Wu Rui exchanged the 'curses' on their bodies at the stone pagoda shrine.

Soon, Wu Rui also integrated her own 'curse'.

Similarly, she received three card rewards.

[Memory], [Curse], and [Memory Fragment].

Luo Xi asked her for the [Memory Fragment].

Wu Rui naturally handed the card to Luo Xi without any hesitation, and said, "I didn't expect that you could retrieve your own curse, and after retrieving it, the state of being entangled by the curse would be automatically lifted."

It is known that once tainted by a curse, it is impossible to get rid of it normally.

When the curse completely invades the body, it will trigger 'suicide mode'.

This is a mechanism in the scene. No matter who it is, no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to resist.

But because of this, there must be a way to lift the curse.

Obviously, if you had died here once before, then this forest would have preserved your corresponding 'curse'. This curse would obviously become the nightmare and danger of other Scavenger players, and also the 'antidote' exclusive to yourself.

Theoretically, Wu Rui has now gained benefits. Just one [Curse] card is worth the price of admission.

She can leave and never come back.

However, Wu Rui has died here twice, so she actually has one more curse to retrieve.

Similarly, if the retrieval is successful, she will receive a second round of rewards.

The second round of rewards may be the same as the first round, or it may be better.

"Wait for me for a moment!" Luo Xi decided to use the second [Memory Fragment] immediately after obtaining it.

Because the memory fragment contained content that interested him.

Activate the card.

The card disappeared.

Luo Xi looked up, his eyes pale, and his pupils disappeared.

Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui were both startled when they saw this situation for the first time. Mao Ge, as an experienced person, quickly explained to the two of them.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, Luo Xi will recover in two minutes at most."

"Mao Ge, what's in that card called [Memory Fragment]?" Lin Qiqi asked.

Although Mao Ge said it was okay, she was still very worried because Luo Xi had never experienced a similar situation.

"I don't know exactly what's in it. The card clearly says, 'The memories of others will cause you to have a mental breakdown.' Only Luo Xi knows, but he didn't tell me," Liu Mao shook his head.

Lin Qiqi thought for a while and changed her way of asking.

"Then, after he recovered, what did he say? Or, what questions did he ask you?"

"Speaking of which, I don't know these two people. Mao Ge, you said before that Zhou Xinpeng used to be the administrator of a checkpoint scene, and his daughter Zhou Ya was a cleaner in the scene, but I always feel that this is not right. How could a father make his own daughter a cleaner?" Lin Qiqi looked at the motionless Luo Xi and began to discuss this matter with Mao Ge.

Wu Rui, who was a witness at the time, naturally also had the right to speak.

"The reason for this is actually because Zhou Xinpeng's daughter committed suicide before, so he may have been trying to continue his daughter's life," Wu Rui said, stating what she knew.

"Heh, his daughter committed suicide. Turning her into a cleaner won't bring her back to life. So, do you think this person loves his daughter?" Lin Qiqi seemed very curious about this matter.

"He should love her very much. There are many toys in his daughter's room, all kinds of dolls. Moreover, his reaction at the time, and the fact that he violated the rules to kill the Scavengers who attacked his daughter, all show that he loves his daughter very much," Wu Rui said.

Lin Qiqi frowned.

She looked back at Luo Xi, then at Wu Rui and Mao Ge.

"Luo Xi, didn't he say anything at the time?"

"Say what? No," they both shook their heads.

"This is unreasonable. Cleaners can also be reset, and after the end of the cycle, everyone except the administrator will eventually die. Since he is the administrator, he must already be immune to that kind of scene. How could he violate the company's rules because of this kind of thing, leading to being killed by a senior executive? Don't you find it strange?" Lin Qiqi immediately pointed out the unreasonableness of this matter.

This is the difference between a true veteran who has survived hundreds of cycles and a newbie.

Experience!

No matter how talented Wu Rui and Mao Ge are, they are far behind Lin Qiqi in terms of experience points.

Moreover, some things really cannot be traced back.

At that time, both Wu Rui and Mao Ge were pure newbies who had just walked out of the 'Working Man's Day' scene. For them, since they had already passed the level, even if they discovered something was wrong, they would not investigate and think about it carefully. As time passed, they completely forgot about it.

"What you said is indeed a problem, but no matter what, Zhou Xinpeng's sudden out-of-control killing at the time did bring us benefits. The administrator is dead, and our clearance has become a certainty," Wu Rui's mind was obviously much clearer after retrieving one of her curses.

Mao Ge couldn't figure it out, so he simply kept silent.

"In short, there must be something wrong with this Zhou Xinpeng and Zhou Ya that you are talking about," Lin Qiqi didn't say much more about this matter.

She could also see that Wu Rui and Mao Ge actually lacked some key information.

They didn't know, but Luo Xi must know.

The room was very quiet.

In front of him was a doll that was humming softly.

From time to time, it would turn its head to look at him.

This scene was actually very strange, and after seeing this doll as if it were 'alive', Luo Xi had some speculation.

The speculation was about the identity of the doll.

Not surprisingly, this doll is 'Wei Si', and this conclusion is not imagined out of thin air.

Luo Xi has a basis.

The basis is the [Bloodstained Diary] found under Zhou Ya's body.

Luo Xi had read the contents inside, and one of the contents was: ".I have a friend, her name is Wei Si. I don't know who gave her this strange name. I asked her, and she said that she gave it to herself. Look, how strange she is. Who would give themselves a name?"

"Hello, my name is Wei Si, I am your friend!"

At this moment, the doll said in a very nice female voice.

At this moment, everything that happened in the room was indeed Zhou Ya's memory, or rather, the process of her first acquaintance with her friend 'Wei Si' in her diary.

The memory is like an AR movie, constantly playing.

Next, the little girl Zhou Ya really became friends with this doll. They talked, they played, and they told each other their innermost thoughts.

But obviously, most of the time Zhou Ya was talking.

Last time, Luo Xi discovered a problem.

He cannot interfere with the process of this memory presentation, otherwise, the memory projection will be immediately interrupted.

So although he could forcibly control 'Zhou Ya', he would not do that again since he already had experience.

And at this moment, Luo Xi also discovered an interesting thing.

Zhou Ya is 'sick'.

It's the literal meaning. Her mind is not normal, because a normal person, even a child, would not become friends with a talking doll, and even, she didn't tell anyone else about it.

Except for one of her friends, Liu Simiao, Mao Ge's daughter, because they were the same age, Zhou Ya once introduced this special friend to her.

It's just that Wei Si didn't speak at the time.

And in Liu Simiao's eyes, it was as if Zhou Ya was talking to the air.

In fact, she was talking to the motionless doll on the bed.

Whether Zhou Ya is sick or not, Luo Xi doesn't care, and he is too lazy to explore the reason. Because strictly speaking, there is no so-called 'normal' person in the world. 'Normal' itself is a pseudo-proposition, a way of treating a certain state as a measuring standard. As long as you deviate from this standard, you will be seen as 'abnormal', as 'sick'.

In Luo Xi's case, this logic does not hold.

Therefore, Luo Xi believes that Zhou Ya is just an interesting and very special child.

That's all!

Now what Luo Xi is curious about is, Zhou Ya, this interesting and very special child, was targeted by 'Wei Si' for what reason?

This matter is very strange.

There are many amnesiacs in the Day of Imprisonment.

At least there should be millions of them. Why is it that only Zhou Ya is targeted by existences like 'Wei Si'?

In fact, Luo Xi has been trying to investigate this reason, but before, he didn't have any leverage. The only clue, the [Bloodstained Diary], only said that Zhou Ya chose to commit suicide and die, and that it was related to Wei Si's instigation.

Now, although he still doesn't know Wei Si's purpose, at least, he has a breakthrough.

[Memory Fragment].

Luo Xi believes that as long as he collects enough [Memory Fragments], he may be able to uncover this mystery.

"You are very painful, so why not die? Because here, only the so-called body dies, and the spirit will last forever. And if you die, I can take you to a more fun place..."

The doll found a knife and handed it to 'Zhou Ya'.

But just at this moment, the doll on the other side suddenly seemed to notice something, showing a fierce expression, and suddenly pushed forward.

Luo Xi felt like he was hit by something, and the memory playback was immediately interrupted, falling into a darkness.

Vaguely, Luo Xi heard some water flowing in this darkness.

In the next moment, he regained his vision, and around him were Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui.

"Luo Xi, are you awake? What's in the memory fragment?" Lin Qiqi immediately asked curiously.

"Zhou Ya's past memory. How long did my state last this time?" Luo Xi asked.

"Still less than two minutes!"

"Let's go, let's go to the lake first, it's almost time." Luo Xi had agreed with An Zhiyan and Qian Pangzi to meet at the lakeside shrine in half an hour. I don't know if the two of them have any new discoveries.
