Day of Imprisonment
#338 - Black Swan
Luo Xi's previously envisioned plans had almost all fallen through.
The idea of using the terrain, Doudou, and the firearms here to counterattack Zhou Ya seemed like a dead end.
But since he was already here, Luo Xi didn't plan to change locations.
Because if Doudou could return in time, she could still be of help.
Next, Luo Xi made a few more phone calls.
He wouldn't let go of any strong external support he could find, because this time, his collision with 'Zhou Ya,' or rather, Wei Si, made it clear to him that he could only win and couldn't afford to lose.
Because if 'Zhou Ya' retrieved all the [Memory Fragments], according to the cursed memory he left in the park, it would be equivalent to breaking some kind of balance, and the result would inevitably be that the situation would develop in an unpredictable direction.
There were many aspects that would be affected, but the most important one was that it would affect the 'Breaking Cocoon Plan.'
Luo Xi couldn't back down on that matter.
In short, the cursed memory indicated that 'Zhou Ya' had to be stopped at all costs.
Moreover, this thought had already formed some kind of extremely strong obsession; otherwise, Ke Lan, who had previously been tainted by this curse, wouldn't have become so erratic. It was because the obsession was too strong that Ke Lan was affected.
Otherwise, with Ke Lan's personality, he wouldn't have chosen to fight an unwinnable battle.
To put it bluntly, Ke Lan at that time had already been controlled by the curse left by him.
It was just that this obsession wouldn't make people commit suicide, but would make people attack Zhou Ya like crazy.
"Luo Xi, should we bring this woman into a scenario? Some scenario rules don't allow mutual attacks," Lin Qiqi said at this time.
She was talking about Xiu Ling, who had been tainted by the [Memory Fragment].
Now, the other party was acting crazy, sometimes startled, muttering incomprehensible words.
"No need, that would just be a waste of time. There's no need to delay this matter any longer," Luo Xi knew very well that once Zhou Ya arrived, the fight might begin the moment they met.
Zhou Ya's goal was to destroy him.
Conversely, he also had to destroy the other party.
"Qiqi, stay by my side. Mao Ge and Lao Qian, you guard Xiu Ling. Guo Zening, go to the entrance and find an observation point. If anyone enters the mall, call me immediately," Luo Xi arranged for his own people.
In addition, Luo Xi called Qian Pangzi aside separately and gave him a few instructions.
The content was very simple.
If the situation became very bad, immediately seize Xiu Ling's card ring and then kill her.
More than half an hour later.
Someone came.
"Luo Xi, it's an old woman, never seen her before," Guo Zening reported truthfully.
After a while, the other party appeared in the hall on the first floor, and then waved to Luo Xi above.
"It's her!" Qian Pangzi also saw it, and immediately shrank his neck.
It was Aunt Qin from the Awakened Association.
Currently, one of the few Memory Weaver experts that An Zhiyan could still mobilize.
Yu Xiaoru didn't count; that girl wasn't the combat type.
This time, Luo Xi wanted pure combat power.
"I rushed here as soon as I received your call. I'm not late, am I?" Aunt Qin was burly and stout, with a large waist. In terms of fighting skills, she was the kind of expert who could send Qian Pangzi, who claimed to be a boxing expert, into dreamland with a single punch.
Moreover, Aunt Qin's physique had also reached Elite C-grade.
Coupled with absolutely pure boxing skills, she was also the well-deserved second-best combat power in the Awakened Association.
The Awakened Association's number one combat power was Liang Qiu.
However, Luo Xi couldn't contact the other party now. The last time they contacted was two days ago, when there was no such thing as the Fairy Tale Town incident. At that time, the other party was driving, preparing to leave Tun Tun City.
Originally, Luo Xi planned to contact the other party later, but unexpected events occurred frequently, and it was delayed until now.
"I'm going to trouble you this time, Aunt Qin!" Luo Xi was very polite.
"It's no trouble. I'm relieved to hear that An girl is okay. I've been worried to death these past two days. Yu girl and I haven't been in the mood to challenge the instance scenarios. We've been waiting at home for her call. Fortunately, God bless us," Aunt Qin really made a gesture of putting her hands together, worshiping the heavens and the Buddhas.
She could fight, but she was truly superstitious.
"But I still can't contact An girl."
"She should still be in another instance scenario."
Before Luo Xi could finish speaking, Luo Xi's phone rang.
The phone number was Guo Zening's.
But Luo Xi knew that because he had lost his phone in the Fairy Tale Town, Guo Zening's phone was left to An Zhiyan.
In other words, she had come out of the Tree Sea Park.
After answering, it was indeed the case.
An Zhiyan spoke very concisely, saying only two words: "Where?"
"Rainbow City, Doudou Game Room."
"Be right there!"
Luo Xi hung up the phone.
With An Zhiyan present, his combat power could be further improved.
On his side, Mao Ge's [Skyrocketing Grievance] wouldn't be used until the very end. If necessary, he would have Mao Ge activate it immediately.
On Luo Xi's side, those who had reached Elite C-grade were An Zhiyan, Kuang Shi, and Aunt Qin, while Mao Ge in his Cleaner state was even stronger, close to Elite B-grade.
If Doudou was here, it would be equivalent to having two Elite B-grades, plus three C-grades, and the odds of winning would be greater.
But even without Doudou, these four people were enough to crush a normal Elite B-grade powerhouse.
Whether the opponent was a Memory Weaver or an Administrator, they couldn't possibly win in a head-on fight.
However, 'Zhou Ya's' current strength must have reached or even exceeded Elite B-grade. From the memory that Ke Lan left behind with the curse, Luo Xi could basically make a rough judgment.
And the current problem was that 'Zhou Ya's' strength might still increase.
Back then, after he thwarted the other party's first invasion plan, he discarded 'Zhou Ya,' Wei Si's interface, and divided it into many parts, hiding them in different places.
The 'body' in the Sega Apartment Building, the 'Memory Fragment' in the Tree Sea Park.
In addition, some 'Memory Fragments,' learned from the cursed memory, were hidden in other places, and the people who hid them were not the former Luo Xi, so even the cursed memory didn't have any information about these hiding places.
Luo Xi didn't know if 'Zhou Ya' had a way to find those places.
Currently, it seemed likely that she could find them.
After all, Zhou Ya had Wei Si behind her, and Wei Si's abilities, currently seemingly limited, were still difficult to fathom and predict.
Of course, Luo Xi himself could also find those places where the Memory Fragments were hidden.
But he had a feeling that he had made a mistake in this move.
From the discovery of Ke Lan's brutal murder, Luo Xi knew that he had suffered a loss in this move.
The other party was ahead of him.
So it was too late to go find those locations. Instead, it was easy to fall into Zhou Ya's trap.
The result was that one wrong step led to another.
Luo Xi knew very well that at this time, he had to regain the initiative and control the rhythm in his own hands.
In Tree Sea Park, many buried plastic bags could be found, containing three things: a flashlight, a compass, and a map of Tun Tun City.
The problem was that although Tree Sea Park was easy to get lost in, it wouldn't completely lose direction, so these three things, except for the flashlight, which was a tool to restrain the Black Umbrella monster, the other two things seemed useless.
But one premise must be understood: the instance scenario was artificially designed, and everything here had its meaning.
The compass and the map were actually tools used to locate the 'Memory Fragments' outside the scenario. The compass could be used as a compass, and with a slight modification, it could be placed on the map for positioning, dividing the Tianchi and the inner plate, marking the Eight Trigrams, Nine Stars, Heavenly Stars, and Twenty-Four Mountains...
Luo Xi estimated that the former him left these set tools to provide some hints to the current him.
But sometimes, plans couldn't keep up with changes.
These hints and tools were useless.
And thinking carefully, he would know that 'Zhou Ya' had actually started acting several cycle days ago. If Zhou Xinpeng hadn't called Mao Ge, the other party might have successfully acquired all the 'Memory Fragments,' and he would have been kept in the dark.
So, the Black Swan event was actually the cancellation of the 'Sega Apartment Building' scenario.
The trigger for this event was the Cleaner Zhou Ya, who was killed by the Memory Weaver Wang Tao in the Administrator's room.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing was impossible.
Wang Tao, including the other Memory Weavers in the apartment building, even if they cycled tens of thousands of cycle days, they couldn't do such an outrageous thing as entering the Administrator's room and killing the Cleaner Zhou Ya.
But because of his appearance, impossible things became possible.
Luo Xi could be sure that these things, no matter who it was, couldn't be predicted in advance. An accidental occurrence would trigger a series of other accidents...
And positioning this matter to the moment when Zhou Xinpeng called Mao Ge.
Luo Xi discovered that this matter was also unexpected by 'Zhou Ya,' because for her, secretly completing the collection of all Memory Fragments, and then making a move after completely projecting the powerful force, would mean that he wouldn't even have the power to resist at that time.
That would be in line with 'Zhou Ya's' interests.
So, Zhou Xinpeng becoming a Memory Weaver was a 'Black Swan event' in Zhou Ya's plan, but this event was by no means accidental.
"Someone made Zhou Xinpeng a Memory Weaver, and told him that he could seek help from Mao Ge," Luo Xi suddenly realized this, and this matter could be interpreted in a more concise way.
That is, someone was secretly helping him.
Otherwise, Zhou Ya could have completely and quietly completed the 'recombination of memories' this time, and then the king would return, crushing everything.
"So, who would this Black Swan be?" Luo Xi fell into deep thought, but soon, his deep thought was interrupted by Qian Pangzi's voice.
"Luo Ju, something's wrong!"
