Day of Imprisonment

The rain was still falling.

The dense branches and leaves blocked a large portion of it, but those below without umbrellas would still get wet.

“According to past experience, the rain on a loop day will fall from a little after nine in the morning until twelve noon,” Liu Mao said, looking at the time. It was now eleven in the morning.

The group re-opened their umbrellas.

People like Liu Mao and Wu Rui, being here for the third time, had experience and not only had umbrellas, but also wore raincoats.

“I wonder how the others are doing!” Wu Rui looked at the surrounding dense forest. Because of the misty rain, there was always fog in the forest, making it difficult to see very far.

It was easy to get lost here, but Luo Xi seemed very familiar with the roads, never stopping to think about the route as he led the way.

Lin Qiqi was talking with the two of them.

“Did you guys also find the compass, map, and flashlight?”

“Yes, Ke Lan found them. He noticed that some Curses would give hints in subtle ways. At the time, he deduced that only by being tainted by Curses could one truly clear this scenario.”

“But, come to think of it, of the three items, only the compass is somewhat useful. The other two are completely useless. One is broken, and the other is a city-level map.”

“Where’s the map?”

“Ke Lan has it. He said that this kind of obviously problematic prop usually doesn’t appear in the scenario. Maybe the map hides other information.”

“I don’t know where he and Guo Zening are. It would be troublesome if we encounter that black umbrella monster again.”

“Luo Xi said that the more powerful the monster mechanism in a scenario, the greater its weakness must be. What do you think that monster’s weakness is?”

“I don’t know. Mainly, I completely forgot about encountering the monster you guys are talking about,” Brother Mao shook his head.

Lin Qiqi was lost in thought.

She was the one who truly faced the black umbrella monster. From her observation, that monster had almost no weaknesses.

Its speed was like a ghost, and even her [Soul Shock], which mixed witch spells, only barely repelled it.

At the time, it seemed more like the other party wasn’t sure about her methods and took the initiative to retreat. If someone hadn’t happened to attract the other party’s attention, then Lin Qiqi was sure that the black umbrella monster would have instantly moved over.

“Wait a minute, although it can instantly move, it didn’t continue to chase me and Wu Rui later. Why?” Lin Qiqi realized a key issue.

Because according to the other party’s speed, even if she and Wu Rui had run more than a hundred meters away, it would only take a few seconds to catch up.

What’s more, she and Wu Rui weren’t in good condition at the time.

“It seems to only attack people it encounters, that is, targets within its line of sight. If it exceeds the line of sight, it won’t chase.” Lin Qiqi thought of a possibility, which made her a little excited.

Don’t underestimate such an insignificant discovery, but the more you understand your opponent, the more advantage you will have when you encounter that monster again.

However, Luo Xi said that he already had some ideas about the black umbrella monster’s weakness. Lin Qiqi was quite looking forward to that.

What method would Luo Xi use to deal with the black umbrella monster?

Just then, Luo Xi, who was leading the way, stopped.

The reason was simple.

Someone was walking over there.

The person was wearing a raincoat, looked very young, but seemed a little confused, even dispirited, as if he hadn’t noticed Luo Xi’s group.

Luo Xi stopped him.

The person was stunned, as if waking up from a dream.

“You, who are you people?” The person’s raincoat was damaged in many places, and his face and head were soaked with blood-colored rain. He was covered in mud, as if he had fallen, and looked very embarrassed.

At that time, someone among these people jumped into the lake.

Hearing Luo Xi’s words, the person seemed to wake up, his eyes lighting up: “You are also here to find souls? Me too, no, we, we are too. Xiu Ling is crazy, because she has been here, lost her soul, we must help her get it back.”

The person muttered.

As he spoke, he suddenly froze, looking around.

“Where are Lao San and the others? Strange, did we get separated? Why, what happened, why can’t I remember?” The person scratched his head.

Wu Rui and Lin Qiqi exchanged glances.

Obviously, this person had encountered the black umbrella monster before.

This symptom was already very obvious.

“Maybe, they were the ones who attracted the black umbrella monster before,” Lin Qiqi was certain in her heart.

“My name is Luo Xi, what’s your name?” Luo Xi continued to probe.

However, in the eyes of Brother Mao and the others, this Reminiscent was actually not worth investigating.

He was just an ordinary Reminiscent with average strength and experience.

“I, my name is Zhu Ning.” The other person’s eyes were filled with confusion. Obviously, he still couldn’t figure out how he had become separated from his companions in a daze.

“He is Brother Mao, he has been here before, and he also lost his soul, so he came here to find his soul. The Xiu Ling you mentioned, did she go crazy because she came here?” Luo Xi changed the subject.

Lin Qiqi already knew the purpose of Luo Xi’s conversation with the other party.

He was inquiring about the person named ‘Xiu Ling’.

The reason was simple.

This Zhu Ning said, ‘Xiu Ling is crazy,’ but here, even if you are killed by a Curse, or encounter a black umbrella monster, it will only produce corresponding Curses and lost memories.

It won’t drive people crazy.

And there is only one possibility that can drive people crazy.

[Memory Shards], ‘Other people’s memories will make you schizophrenic’.

From the other party’s words, Luo Xi noticed the key.

“Yes, Xiu Ling has been here, she told us, and then, her condition was not right!” Zhu Ning’s expression was a little solemn, as if he didn’t want to say more about this matter.

But Luo Xi wouldn’t let it go so easily.

“Did she say herself that she was crazy? Sorry, I am a doctor, a mental doctor, maybe it has something to do with my profession, so I am more curious.”

“No, no, she didn’t say it, we found something wrong, she said she had another person in her mind and often talked to that person.” Maybe thinking of something strange, Zhu Ning’s expression was a little scared.

Now, Luo Xi, and even Lin Qiqi, could be sure that the ‘Xiu Ling’ in the other party’s mouth must have used [Memory Shards] after obtaining them. Because of other people’s memories, it caused her mental disorder.

To be honest, no one can solve this kind of problem.

Except for Luo Xi.

The [Psychopath] occupation card’s unique ability [Mental Capture] can perfectly solve this problem.

“After we get out of here, I want to see the Xiu Ling you mentioned. I am a mental doctor, I can definitely help you.” Luo Xi looked sincere.

It is not yet known whether [Memory Shards] can be reset in the scenario. If a part of [Memory Shards] has been taken away, then even if all the remaining [Memory Shards] in the scenario are obtained, there may still be key memory loss.

Already knowing that this memory is related to ‘Zhou Ya’ and ‘Wei Si,’ Luo Xi certainly couldn’t let go of any [Memory Shards].

“Okay, sure, if we can get out, to be honest, if you can cure Xiu Ling, we can go out now,” Zhu Ning said at this time.

He seemed to have become afraid of this scenario.

“Don’t you have companions too? Find them first, find them, and go out together.” Luo Xi’s reason was something the other party couldn’t refuse.

“Okay, then I’ll follow you.” Zhu Ning didn’t completely trust Luo Xi, but to be honest, in this strange place, more people meant more courage. Weighing the pros and cons, it was better than him acting alone.

Next, they walked and chatted briefly.

Obtaining information through conversation was something Luo Xi was good at, so when he saw that suicide lake, Luo Xi had already grasped the situation on Zhu Ning’s side.

The other party was considered a small Reminiscent team.

There were seven or eight people.

The most powerful, the leader-level Reminiscent, was a woman named ‘Xiu Ling’.

Xiu Ling not only possessed a card ring, but also had obtained an ‘occupation card’ and had some very special abilities.

Among Zhu Ning’s people, only half had obtained card rings, and none had obtained occupation cards.

Before, ‘Xiu Ling’ entered the Sea of Trees Park, and then failed.

Failing in a certain scenario and entering the next loop day was not uncommon.

That was the norm in the Reminiscent circle.

But this time, Xiu Ling’s condition was not right.

She was like a different person, hiding most of the time, saying things that people couldn’t understand, occasionally waking up, and then showing a terrified expression, calling Zhu Ning and the others to explain the situation, saying that her soul was lost in the ‘Sea of Trees Park’ and asking them to find a way to get it back.

And before she finished speaking, she would be possessed again, and start muttering again.

Even hugging a toy and singing.

At that time, that scene, that appearance, was as strange as it could be.

Because Xiu Ling was the core of this small Reminiscent team, if something happened to her, the small team would inevitably disintegrate.

So Zhu Ning and the others ventured over to enter this scenario to investigate.

“This lake, I remember, before, Lao Er was like he was possessed, staring at the lake and laughing strangely twice, and then jumped down. We couldn’t stop him, we wanted to save him, but there seemed to be something in the lake that dragged him into the water.” Zhu Ning looked at the lake, his face suddenly turning ugly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a tall figure standing by the lake, holding a huge black umbrella.
