Day of Imprisonment

Talking to Cabbage inherently carries risks.

The company's phone lines are definitely not secure. In other words, there's a high possibility that the lines are being monitored.

That's where the risk lies.

But even with the risk, this call has to be made because Luo Xi urgently needs to confirm something.

Giving Zhou Xinpeng the [Memory] to track down the person behind Zhou Ya – is that person acting according to the plan, or are they acting on their own, making decisions on the fly?

To others, this might seem insignificant, but for Luo Xi, it will allow him to see whether the entire event is within the original plan or has already spiraled out of control.

"Let's keep this short. What's your plan for Zhou Ya going forward?"

This time, Luo Xi didn't probe but asked directly.

Because there's no need for probing anymore.

Through deduction, Cabbage's identity has already been confirmed. The call is just to confirm that Zhou Ya is out of control and whether the situation is still within his original plan.

"No plan!" Cabbage naturally understood what Luo Xi was asking on the other end of the line, so his answer was equally direct.

Luo Xi frowned.

Cabbage's answer was not what Luo Xi wanted to hear.

The other party was a supervisor, and if he was an important pawn left in the company by his former self, then he would definitely know more.

However, Cabbage's answer on the phone surprised Luo Xi.

"I don't know who the administrator of Tree Sea Park is, and I'm also investigating it."

That was Cabbage's answer.

Luo Xi didn't ask further.

He didn't like talking nonsense, such as retorting with "You're a supervisor, how can you not know who the administrator of a scenario is?"

That's what Luo Xi defined as nonsense.

Knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing.

Moreover, Cabbage must have started investigating not just now, but perhaps from the moment Zhou Ya entered Tree Sea Park, he began to probe the details of the scenario.

Yet, he still hadn't found anything.

This could only mean that within the 'Company,' some scenarios were unknown, or at least, confidential.

Even Cabbage didn't have enough authority.

Clearly, the only clues that could be gleaned from Cabbage were these.

At that moment, Luo Xi didn't hesitate and hung up the phone directly.

He actually wanted to chat a little longer, but it wasn't safe on the phone.

If he had the chance to meet Cabbage, he would really like to chat with him.

But now, the time wasn't right.

Luo Xi lowered his head and pondered, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table, seemingly without any rhythm.

Han Fengtian didn't dare to disturb him. He brewed a cup of tea and brought it over, placing it beside him.

Steam rose from the teacup, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

"One link is missing!"

Luo Xi suddenly said.

This startled Han Fengtian, who was taken aback and asked, "Luo Xi, what one link is missing?"

Luo Xi didn't say much.

It was pointless to say more to Han Fengtian, who didn't know about this.

Luo Xi's style of doing things was very peculiar, even strange, and somewhat impersonal. He seemed to like breaking down plans, like different rings. Each of his pawns held one of the rings.

If only one person was found, knowing only one ring, it would be impossible to understand the truth of the entire plan.

Even if many were found, but the order between each ring was unknown, it would feel confusing and inexplicable.

Only by connecting these information rings one by one in the correct order could the truth of the entire plan be seen.

Luo Xi had already realized this when he found Han Fengtian back then.

This was indeed in line with his style.

It was a habit.

And habits, even after becoming a Recollector, would be retained.

This invisible and intangible habit and way of thinking would prompt Luo Xi to follow the clues and find all the 'rings' and string them together.

However, in the Zhou Ya incident, Luo Xi discovered a loophole.

"If there are no accidents, the person who originally designed the Sega Apartment Building was the former me. Cabbage was just like a construction team, he just followed the blueprints to set Zhou Ya as a cleaner, completing the cycle of death and rebirth of the scenario, and the last instruction he received should be to immediately revoke the entire scenario if Zhou Ya was found to have died unexpectedly. After all, the purpose of the scenario's existence was to seal Zhou Ya, because Zhou Ya cannot die, she must survive as a cleaner until the end of the scenario, and then reappear in the reset. Once the other party dies unexpectedly in the middle, it will trigger the interface of V4, so continuing to keep the scenario is meaningless."

"And the probability of this happening exists, I can't ignore this possibility, so I arranged the Tree Sea Park scenario to store Zhou Ya's memory fragments. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Ya, that is, V4, wants to retrieve these memory fragments, so she can only enter the scenario. Then, the person who finally stops the other party is the administrator of Tree Sea Park. But the other party doesn't seem to have intervened. That scenario is more like a place that only retains the scenario mechanism, but is unmanaged."

This has already happened, almost obviously.

Sega Apartment Building is the place to seal Zhou Ya, and so is Tree Sea Park.

On the apartment building side, Cabbage is watching. Luo Xi can't possibly let an irrelevant administrator be responsible for Tree Sea Park, so there must also be a pawn, a 'ring,' at the Tree Sea Park point.

But currently, this pawn and this ring have not been effective.

Therefore, it led to the Zhou Ya's out-of-control event.

Fortunately, Cabbage did something of value, that is, let Zhou Xinpeng become a Recollector to track Zhou Ya, and Zhou Xinpeng found that Mao Ge was also a Recollector, or maybe he got some kind of 'hint' from Cabbage, so he contacted Mao Ge.

Then, it involved himself.

This led to the duel in Tree Sea Park, and then the slaughter in Rainbow City.

In the end, after losing more than half of their combat power, they barely killed Zhou Ya once.

Winning valuable time.

Otherwise, Luo Xi knew very well that on this cycle day, V4 might completely descend with the help of Zhou Ya's body.

No one can predict what will happen then.

Taking the risk of calling Cabbage was to inquire about the administrator of Tree Sea Park, but this road is obviously impassable at the moment.

All the clues are interrupted here.

The missing ring has produced very serious consequences.

That is, the terrifying existence of 'Zhou Ya' has been released.

To be honest, being able to win miserably before had an element of luck in it, that is, Zhou Ya didn't know her details and was greedy enough to attack herself by devouring her spiritual body.

As a result, she backfired and was instead propped up by her more terrifying and numerous spiritual bodies, and perished herself.

But Zhou Ya is now a Recollector.

She can also save her memories.

That is to say, if they meet again on the next cycle day, the other party can't make this mistake again.

Then, how to suppress her?

Of course, Luo Xi can't put all his bets on Mao Ge.

Although he had told Mao Ge in advance to control Zhou Ya at the first time when the next cycle day started and prevent her from committing suicide.

But Luo Xi felt that the possibility of preventing suicide from succeeding was very small.

Once Zhou Ya dies, 'V4' will occupy her body and become that terrifying 'Zhou Ya'. Even if Mao Ge immediately launches [Resentment Soaring to the Sky], whether he can kill her again is really not a guaranteed thing.

Based on the strength shown by 'Zhou Ya' before, Mao Ge is very likely not to be able to kill her.

The situation is very critical!

This is almost an unsolvable situation, because 'Zhou Ya' has already died on this cycle day.

She will inevitably be resurrected on the next cycle day.

And Luo Xi didn't find the 'spare plan' he expected from Cabbage.

This is like a game of chess. Unconsciously, he was tricked by the other party, and the other party is about to checkmate.

Once checkmated, death is inevitable.

But at the moment, there may be only one step left, and wanting to reverse the situation in one step seems impossible at the moment.

At this moment, in the emotions that Luo Xi can clearly feel, a lot of things called 'despair' began to emerge.

Just like the 'adrenaline' automatically secreted by the body in critical situations, 'despair' will also be created when conditions are met. If it is a normal person, under this 'despair,' they will naturally fall into collapse.

However, Luo Xi at this moment is only feeling the emotion of despair constantly struggling under the suppression of absolute rationality, even if the number is large, it cannot cause any waves.

But to be honest, although Luo Xi is still in a state of rationality, he really can't think of a way to break the situation for a while.

After repeated deductions and calculations, he found that on the next cycle day, 'Zhou Ya' has a 90% chance of forming a crushing trend against his side.

The worst result is that he, including everyone around him, will be abused and killed by 'Zhou Ya,' and the other party will plunder the card ring and corresponding abilities.

Plundering and stealing the power of other Recollectors is actually a way for Zhou Ya to rapidly improve her strength and combat power.

"Wait a minute!"

Luo Xi suddenly realized something at this moment.

He fell into a misunderstanding.

Perhaps, it was the plan left by the 'former self' in the past, so Luo Xi ignored one thing.

Most of the dangers and problems in this world are not predictable.

In fact, many problems and dangers happen very suddenly and completely randomly.

At this time, what is needed is to block the soldiers and stop the water!
