Day of Imprisonment

Although we won, the losses were significant.

Fortunately, none of those lost this time lost their card rings.

This means we can see each other again on the next cycle day.

But the trouble is that while Zhou Xinpeng's body remained, Zhou Ya's body disappeared like the others'.

"This means she has indeed become a Memory Gatherer, and, moreover, retained her memories."

Luo Xi sighed.

In the end, he was only able to defeat Zhou Ya because she underestimated him.

If Zhou Ya had transformed herself into a monster like Zhou Xinpeng, relying on pure violence and strength, Luo Xi and the others wouldn't have been able to win this time.

But instead, Zhou Ya chose a different path of enhancement, using her mental power to devour others.

This is like a big fish eating small fish.

Zhou Ya wanted to devour Luo Xi with her seemingly powerful mental body, but she didn't know that Luo Xi's mental state was different from normal people.

When she devoured others, she was devouring individual mental bodies; but Luo Xi's mental body wasn't just one, and even Luo Xi himself didn't know how many 'mental individuals' he had.

A big fish can eat small fish, but there's a limit.

If it exceeds that limit and you still force yourself to swallow, the result is that you'll burst yourself.

Zhou Ya made this mistake.

However, one should always think positively. Although Zhou Ya wasn't completely eliminated, she suffered a great loss. Some of the memory fragments she had collected were fused by Luo Xi, greatly weakening her strength. In addition, she lost her strongest combat force.

Zhou Xinpeng.

It was truly a case of losing both the wife and the army.

At this moment, Luo Xi had many blood-stained card rings in front of him.

Each card ring represents a Memory Gatherer.

One can imagine how many Memory Gatherers Zhou Ya had to kill to create this monster, Zhou Xinpeng.

Although not yet appraised, these card rings are most likely the kind that can enhance physique and strength.

Memory Gatherers can wear multiple card rings.

But not all card rings can be used by other Memory Gatherers. In fact, most card rings have a 'binding' state, meaning that only the corresponding Memory Gatherer can use them.

Even if you seize them, you can only plunder some cards. It's extremely difficult to use the 'abilities' that come with the card ring.

In addition, some card rings have attribute conflicts, and even if you want to wear multiple card rings, you need to have that many fingers.

From these card rings, Luo Xi found Ke Lan's card ring.

"I'll keep it for you for now!"

After saying that, Luo Xi collected all the card rings and got up to examine Zhou Xinpeng's body.

Even in death, this monster still looked shocking.

How did Zhou Ya transplant different people's arms onto Zhou Xinpeng's body?

This violated the normal human body structure and wasn't within the scope of known medicine. Of course, there are many supernatural settings within the Day of Imprisonment, but most settings still follow normal rules, unless special abilities are used.

At this moment, Zhou Xinpeng's body was a bloody mess. Luo Xi expressionlessly cut through the skin with a knife to examine the internal tissues and identify the sutures of the transplanted arms.

"Hair?"

The positions where the arms were sewn together weren't using ordinary thread, but hair.

"She didn't transplant the arms to create a multi-armed monster, but because she needed these arms to drive those card rings!" Luo Xi now understood Zhou Ya's thinking.

Her way of thinking was result-oriented.

The best way to improve physical fitness is to wear corresponding card rings that can improve physical fitness, but card rings have ownership and attribute conflicts. Therefore, she specifically looked for the corresponding Memory Gatherers, cut off their arms, and transplanted them onto Zhou Xinpeng's body. This solved many previous problems.

In addition, Luo Xi discovered that Zhou Ya had also modified the interior when dissecting Zhou Xinpeng's body.

The ribs in the chest cavity were all broken, creating a space twice as large as an ordinary person's chest cavity. Then, she used hair as sutures and stuffed two hearts inside.

Powerful cardiopulmonary function can drive more limbs.

In addition, this transplantation surgery was very professional. Although Luo Xi hadn't specifically studied this knowledge, he could tell.

But even so, Luo Xi didn't think Zhou Ya could create a second 'Zhou Xinpeng'.

Even if she had the ability, Luo Xi wouldn't give her the chance.

Now Zhou Ya's identity is a Memory Gatherer.

And she must have the [Memory] card.

Then she must also follow the rules of the Day of Imprisonment, which means that she will wake up in the Sega Apartment building on the next cycle day.

Including Zhou Xinpeng.

However, Zhou Xinpeng will become an amnesiac again.

Luo Xi had predicted this possibility before, so he had already spoken to Brother Mao.

On the next cycle day, Brother Mao will go to 809 as soon as he wakes up to prevent Zhou Ya from committing suicide.

Because Zhou Ya's suicide is actually allowing 'Wei Si' to descend to this place through Zhou Ya's body as an interface by killing the real Zhou Ya.

So according to this logic, as long as the real Zhou Ya doesn't die, the descent of 'Wei Si' can be prevented.

However, this matter is difficult.

The real Zhou Ya had already been brainwashed by Wei Si. The records in those [Memory Fragments] were of the process of the real Zhou Ya gradually being invaded and brainwashed by Wei Si.

Using the child's aversion to school, they catalyze that sense of oppression and lure them to suicide.

Therefore, it's best to prevent the suicide. If not, Mao Ge must use [Resentful Fury] to kill Wei Si who has descended. Ideally, he should seize the opponent's card ring, turning them into an amnesiac.

Even so, Luo Xi understood that the 'Zhou Ya' possessed by Wei Si was unlikely to be eliminated so easily.

If turning her into an amnesiac could solve the problem once and for all, then the past me wouldn't have chosen to use the 'scene' and 'cleaner' mechanisms to seal her away in the cursed memories I left behind.

From this perspective, Zhou Ya is likely an unsolvable problem.

It's possible that she won't become an amnesiac at all.

But if he can kill her the first moment of every loop day, at least it can buy some time.

“But this matter will be a bit of a burden for Mao Ge. Moreover, if we can't prevent the real Zhou Ya from committing suicide and directly confront Wei Si, we can't guarantee that we'll be successful in killing them every time.”

Clearly, for Luo Xi, Zhou Ya had become a big problem.

Predictably, every loop day, she would greatly divert his energy.

If not handled well, or even if he fails just once, it would trigger a chain reaction, and today's situation would inevitably repeat itself. The worst outcome would be a complete loss for his side.

Luo Xi fell into thought.

“If it were me, realizing this threat existed, I would definitely think of a way to deal with it, dismembering Zhou Ya, this interface of Wei Si, using the scene mechanism to seal it, hiding the memory fragments in the Tree Sea Park. These methods aren't foolproof, and the facts prove it. So, I should... No, I must have left a backup plan...”

Just then, Luo Xi thought of something.

“That Black Swan!”

That is, the existence that allowed Zhou Xinpeng, who was originally an amnesiac, to become a Memory Retriever.

Currently, it seems that the other party should be on his side.

However, the other party hasn't revealed their identity yet, so naturally Luo Xi can't contact them for help.

But Luo Xi urgently needs the help of this 'Black Swan' right now.

With Dou Dou gone, there's no point in continuing to stay at the entrance of the game room. The battle just now clearly frightened the doll employees in the game room enough.

Luo Xi walked over and called the big bear doll over.

“Y-you, what are you going to do?” The big bear trembled in front of Luo Xi.

He had been working diligently in the game room for dozens of loop days. It could be said that his current life was much better than when he was a Memory Retriever in the past. At least, he didn't have to be constantly worried, didn't have to think about killing others all the time, and didn't have to guard against being killed by others.

Most importantly, they followed a good leader.

Boss Dou!

Boss Dou really treated them as one of their own.

Therefore, they didn't want anything to affect this peaceful life.

But this time, Boss Dou had been missing for two days.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a disappearance, because the big bear doll knew that Boss Dou had entered that 'inaccessible game scene' with this person. However, these two days were very tormenting for them.

The scene administrator must be on duty in the scene, and absenteeism is strictly prohibited. Leaving the post without permission is a very serious 'crime' in the company.

Moreover, this kind of thing can't be hidden.

Because before the start of each loop day, the company's supervisors would call the corresponding administrators for 'inspection', and the phone couldn't be taken away. So, if the administrator wasn't there, they definitely wouldn't be able to answer the call.

This time, Boss Dou would most likely be punished by the company.

“I forgot to ask you just now, did your Boss Dou explain anything before going to the meeting?” Luo Xi also asked tentatively.

According to his understanding of Dou Dou, the other party didn't consider things comprehensively and mostly acted impulsively.

So, in all likelihood, she didn't explain anything.

However, the big bear doll was stunned after hearing this.

Did she really explain something?

“What did she say?” Luo Xi asked directly.

“This, Boss Dou said, let us pay attention to the telephone, saying that if there is anything, she will call us.”

The telephone that the big bear doll mentioned was the kind of telephone dedicated to scene administrators.

Almost every administrator of a checkpoint scene has one.

“Wu Rui!” Luo Xi called out at this time.

Wu Rui walked over from the other side. She injured her arm this time, but it could be seen that her emotions were even worse. After all, she had personally witnessed many familiar friends die in battle. She wasn't afraid, but hated that her strength was too weak to help at critical moments.

Luo Xi saw her thoughts, but there was no need to persuade her about this kind of thing.

“You stay here and guard the phone with them. If Dou Dou calls back, tell her about the situation here. Also, have her contact me as soon as possible.”

Wu Rui nodded: “Leave this to me!”

The big bear doll wanted to express disagreement, but the words came to his lips, and after seeing Luo Xi's eyes, he swallowed them directly.

This person is not to be trifled with.

Moreover, he obviously has an unusual relationship with Boss Dou, so it's better not to provoke this bad luck.
