Day of Imprisonment

"Luo Xi, how... how are you feeling now?" Yu Xiaoru couldn't help but ask, "Because once the [Headphones] are activated, they can't be disabled for at least this entire cycle day. Logically, you should be hearing it constantly..."

"I'm fine!" Luo Xi knew what Yu Xiaoru was worried about. Because after a normal person uses the [Headphones], as long as they don't die, they will keep hearing those terrifying, deadly sounds throughout this cycle day.

But Luo Xi wasn't afraid.

He just needed to pass the effects of the [Headphones] to those personalities.

People are different, and so are mental worlds.

An ordinary person's mental world might just be a small room of a dozen square meters, so no matter where they hide in that room, they can't avoid the resounding sounds.

But Luo Xi's mental world is a huge and dark city.

"Really, I'm fine. But, I have something I want to ask you. Those [Eavesdroppers] that were released, will you be collecting them?"

"Ah, that matter, yes, of course, we need to collect them."

"Is it because after the [Headphones] are manufactured, they only exist within one cycle day, but the [Eavesdroppers] will always exist, right?"

Hearing Luo Xi ask this, Yu Xiaoru was immediately stunned.

The fact that the [Eavesdroppers] manufactured by [Artisan] can always exist was only known to her.

Even An Zhiyan didn't know.

So, when using the [Eavesdroppers], Yu Xiaoru was very careful and didn't release too many at once. Moreover, she would collect each [Eavesdropper] afterward.

As for why the [Eavesdroppers] made by [Artisan] wouldn't disappear due to the cycle day reset, she herself didn't know.

It was also because of this that she focused on researching profession cards.

However, even after a long time, she still hadn't discovered the secret of why the [Eavesdroppers] continued to exist without being refreshed.

But she didn't expect Luo Xi to know.

"How do you know about this?" Yu Xiaoru couldn't help but ask at this time.

The existence of the [Eavesdroppers] was only known to her and An Zhiyan, but the fact that this type of card wouldn't disappear with the cycle day restart was only known to her herself.

So, it was impossible for An Zhiyan to have revealed it. Therefore, she found it very unbelievable that Luo Xi actually knew about this.

Luo Xi thought for a moment and asked her a question in return: "Then how did you know that the [Eavesdroppers] wouldn't be reset by the cycle day?"

"Isn't it obvious? Of course, I discovered it when I first learned to make [Eavesdroppers]. I didn't collect an eavesdropper I placed in a certain place, and as a result, when I used the card book to eavesdrop on the next cycle day, I found that I could still hear it."

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaoru suddenly froze.

She looked at Luo Xi.

The latter nodded.

This girl wasn't completely stupid.

In an instant, Yu Xiaoru's face became very ugly.

"You, what did you hear just now?"

"Heard a lot, but what can be confirmed is that it's not that there's a problem with the [Headphones] you made, but that the [Headphones] can hear the sounds of all [Eavesdroppers]. Even some [Eavesdroppers] are located in some unimaginable places, which is why there are those noises," Luo Xi simply stated the reason.

If some [Eavesdroppers] were placed in certain places a long time ago, in some unknown cycle day, because this kind of thing is not reset by the cycle day, it will be uniformly received by the [Headphones].

However, there is a way to avoid this.

That is to not use the [Headphones] and directly use the [Artisan]'s card ring.

The reason for Yu Xiaoru's change in expression was also because she realized this. Moreover, Luo Xi had previously guessed that what could be heard directly with the card ring could only be the [Eavesdroppers] made by Yu Xiaoru herself, so the [Headphones] were listening to the full amount.

But this would produce a result.

Who made the other [Eavesdroppers]? Where were they placed? Why did they transmit that kind of deadly sound?

"That's impossible!"

Yu Xiaoru immediately said.

She frowned and couldn't help but subconsciously nibble on her scallion-like fingers.

"I told you just now that I have a deep understanding of profession cards, and even some research that even Sister An doesn't know... Many people only know that as long as you acquire all the components of a profession card, you can obtain the corresponding ability. This is indeed correct, but profession cards are actually assigned!"

"Assigned?" Luo Xi asked.

"Or rather, profession cards are actually bound!" Yu Xiaoru knew that what she was saying was a bit vague, so she immediately corrected herself: "I discovered that profession cards actually recognize their owner, do you understand? It's like a door lock, the lock and the key are paired, unique..."

At this moment, it seemed that Yu Xiaoru was talking about a field she was good at and cared about, so her eyes lit up, and she spoke with gestures.

Luo Xi retorted: "As far as I know, profession cards belong to whoever finds them... There is no such thing as mandatory binding. Type A profession cards can only be used by A. In reality, B can also use them."

“I didn’t say it wasn’t possible.” Yu Xiaoru immediately said, “Your analogy just now was very appropriate. Type A profession cards can be used by both A and B, that’s right, but if you want to truly unleash the power and ability of a Type A profession card, it can only be A, B can’t do it.”

“Is there any basis for that?” Luo Xi was also hearing this theory for the first time.

Speaking of which, among the Reminiscents, there aren't many who can truly calm down and study profession cards.

More people pursue power and profit.

“Of course I have a basis. Do you know why I joined the Awakened Association?” Yu Xiaoru smiled, and before Luo Xi could speak, she continued, “It’s because there are many people in the Awakened Association, and many people obtain profession cards. I contact them, investigate their abilities, and moreover, I’ve done experiments.”

As she spoke, Yu Xiaoru summoned her exquisite card album, opened it, and took out the profession card [Artisan] that had already been assembled.

The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

“I once let others use [Artisan], but the other party couldn’t unleash the true ability of this profession card at all. At most, they could only unleash about 20% to 30% of its ability, but if the same profession card is placed in my card album, the situation is different, it can unleash 100%.”

Luo Xi glanced at her. To be honest, judging from her appearance, you really couldn't tell that she had the temperament of a researcher.

“The same goes for the Reminiscents I’ve contacted who possess profession cards. Some can unleash 100% of the profession card, but some are very weak. So I can be sure that profession cards themselves are picky about people. They have an owner. Only when they encounter their true master can they be fully compatible, otherwise, it’s like a donkey’s lips not matching a horse’s mouth.”

Looking at the talkative Yu Xiaoru, Luo Xi knew what she meant.

“So, are you saying that even if others obtain [Artisan], they can’t create [Eavesdroppers], and the only person who can create [Eavesdroppers] is you!”

“That’s what I mean, but I haven’t placed [Eavesdroppers] anywhere else at all. Basically, the [Eavesdroppers] I release are always retrieved.” Yu Xiaoru finished speaking, then spread her hands: “So, it wasn’t me who placed the [Eavesdroppers], that’s why I said it’s impossible.”

Luo Xi understood this time.

However, after thinking for a moment, he looked at Yu Xiaoru and asked, “You don’t remember because you don’t remember this time, so how can you be sure that those [Eavesdroppers] weren’t left outside by the former you?”

“…” Yu Xiaoru was stunned: “The former me? You mean…”

She naturally understood.

Before, she had indeed not considered this possibility.

Yu Xiaoru isn't stupid, in fact, she possesses far more focus and comprehension than others. After all, she has developed the [Artisan] profession card quite deeply. There are many things she can create, even now, what she tells Luo Xi is only a part of it.

But people like her tend to be too focused on a certain problem and ignore other directions and angles.

To put it bluntly, it’s not easy for her to turn her head around.

When she heard Luo Xi's words just now, her first reaction was, 'I didn't make the [Eavesdroppers]', and also 'Others can't possibly make them', so under the premise of satisfying these two conditions, she said that it was impossible.

But if you change the angle, those [Eavesdroppers] scattered in some unknown areas that Luo Xi mentioned were made by her. This does not violate her already drawn conclusion that profession cards are bound, but it is not the current her.

But the former her.

The possibility of Reminiscents experiencing repeated amnesia is not a secret at all within the Day of Confinement.

Many people can think of this.

So the possibility Luo Xi said, is that the former her, through the [Artisan] profession card, made the [Eavesdroppers] and put them in some key locations to eavesdrop, which can be said to be very likely.

Even the only explanation.

This directly caused Yu Xiaoru to fall into deep thought.

She seemed to want to try to recall, 'the previous life' of herself, why she made the [Eavesdroppers], and where she put these [Eavesdroppers]?

“So, you don’t have the ability to sense the location of the [Eavesdroppers]?” Luo Xi broke the silence.

Yu Xiaoru nodded.

She can only make [Eavesdroppers], and if there are no carriers like some [Mechanical Bee Swarms] to control and bring the [Eavesdroppers] back, then once the released eavesdroppers are forgotten where they are, it is impossible to retrieve them.

It's like a kite with a broken string, no one knows where it will float.

“In this case, things are not easy to handle.” Luo Xi sighed.

This matter cannot be explored for the time being, but it can be confirmed that Yu Xiaoru is definitely not an ordinary person. If the deductions about her are all correct, she has lost her memory more than once, and at some point in the past, she also obtained [Artisan], and then, made [Eavesdroppers] and placed them in some key locations.

Those voices are very mixed, which means that she placed more than one [Eavesdropper].

Most of these voices carry the power to kill people, but among them are also mixed some interesting information.
