Day of Imprisonment

#360 - Avoid the hour

In the silent and dim corridor, Luo Xi was walking quickly.

He was like a ghost moving through the darkness.

Soon, he found a fork in the road.

But he seemed to have no hesitation, choosing a corridor leading to the left instead of a door on the right.

He was very fast, even without hesitation.

After discovering a collapsed pit, he even sped up a few steps, rushed over, and jumped straight down.

This pit seemed bottomless, like jumping from a tall building, falling rapidly, but soon, Luo Xi landed back in another corridor, and the original downward fall shifted ninety degrees in angle and center of gravity.

He stretched his hands and feet forward, and the whole person slid on a smooth surface for a few meters, then used a roll to remove the inertia and stood up again.

The structure of the entire maze was chaotic in area, and the gravity was also chaotic.

Here, there was an eye clock, but Luo Xi only glanced at it, and as the eyes closed, he rushed in another direction, and before the next vibration came, he opened a door next to him and walked in.

Almost the moment he stepped in, the vibration occurred.

Luo Xi was expressionless, and after the vibration ended, he continued to move forward quickly.

After discovering that the eye clock here had closed, Luo Xi only paused for two seconds, and then noticed the code and numbers engraved below the closed eyes.

"It's An Zhiyan!"

Luo Xi wasn't surprised at all by this discovery.

Among the people who came this time, only An Zhiyan and Wu Rui might have such tacit understanding with him.

The brain of Kuang Shi (Mad Lion) can't be relied on at all.

He wasn't very familiar with the others, and besides, no code had been agreed upon. Moreover, this time entering the scene, all of them were passive, and they suddenly entered a scene where everything was unknown. Normal people would still be dazed at this time, let alone understand the mechanism and gameplay of the scene, they might not even notice some obvious hints.

After seeing the mark left by An Zhiyan, Luo Xi left immediately, making a choice at the fork in advance.

From the code left by An Zhiyan, he could see the time of the already closed eye clock. In addition, there was also a 'route' left by An Zhiyan.

Of course, this route has nothing to do with clearing the level, it's just her personal choice of forks. There are naturally benefits to doing so. If her route is safe, then these code marks will continue. If it is interrupted in a certain place, it means that the route is not safe.

Thus, this kind of hint became a warning.

Luo Xi followed the route left by An Zhiyan for several 'vibration conversions', and then chose another direction halfway.

The reason was simple.

"An Zhiyan is dead!"

Obviously, Luo Xi had already understood the mechanism of this scene.

"This scene combines time and space together, and binds them with certain rules. In addition to the time on the eye clock, more important is the choice of 'forks' in each small environment. An Zhiyan should not have noticed that there are emergency instructions near all the passages and forks, indicating the direction. Therefore, in this scene, in addition to time and space, there is also the element of direction. Once the direction is added, the direction can correspond to the 'Eight Gates'. In this way, you should try to avoid the 'Death Gate', as well as the 'Alarm Gate' and the 'Injury Gate'."

"From the current point of view, the 'Death Gate' in the scene's forks, judged by azimuth and direction, should correspond to the time of 'on the hour', while the 'Alarm Gate' and 'Injury Gate' are time nodes with a trailing 0. However, relatively speaking, you only need to avoid the 'Death Gate' on the hour to continue. An Zhiyan didn't notice this, so she died."

Luo Xi estimated that as long as one accidentally stepped into an area at a certain 'on the hour' time, he would immediately suffer a fatal attack.

Although An Zhiyan had the [Werewolf's Curse], it was impossible to resist it.

In fact, if a person is careful and doesn't run around, the possibility of encountering the 'Death Gate' on the hour is very small, but that is equivalent to self-imposed restrictions. Although he won't die temporarily, he will be trapped in this place.

For Luo Xi, neither death nor being trapped was the result he wanted.

What he wanted was to clear the level and find the truth.

Before that, he had already determined that this was 'Zhou Ya', that is, a trap set for himself by Wei Si.

The other party had an accomplice.

That is, 'Zhou Di', who was lying on the hospital bed unconscious, like a living dead person.

This scene was designed and triggered by Zhou Di.

The other party waited for him to step into the trap and immediately triggered the mechanism.

However, Luo Xi was also very curious about that Zhou Di.

At that time, after being swept into the scene, Zhou Di obviously evolved a concrete body in the scene.

That young man in black clothes.

At that time, Luo Xi was thrown into the darkness, but before that, the other party said a word.

"Luo Xi, why did you come back?"

This sentence was very problematic.

But this definitely did not include himself.

If the previous judgment that Zhou Di and himself were acquaintances was true, then Zhou Di couldn't possibly not know his abilities. This place would not be able to trap and kill him at all. In Luo Xi's opinion, this was more like a very 'perfunctory' behavior.

But no matter what the truth was, he needed to find the exit of this 'maze' scene. Zhou Di was most likely hiding in that exit.

Luo Xi needed to talk to the other party.

As for this scene, for the time being, it could be understood as a kind of 'test'.

Only by passing it could he see the other party. If he couldn't pass it, perhaps finding this Zhou Di again would be as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Therefore, Luo Xi needed to clear the level in the shortest possible time.

In this way, he would not be able to take care of others.

Luo Xi could tell which was more important.

Neither An Zhiyan, Wu Rui, nor Yu Xiaoru could become something that would restrict and contain him.

And to clear the level, he still needed to combine the three elements of time, space, and azimuth.

Luo Xi needed to find a safe space where the azimuth was the 'Life Gate'. Of course, he also needed to look at the time.

For someone who had completely understood the rules of the scene, clearing the level was not difficult at all.

If it weren't necessary to wait for the 'vibration' to switch scenes, Luo Xi's speed would be even faster.

Half an hour later.

Luo Xi entered a scene. In front of him was actually a three-way intersection with different azimuths, and the 'Life Gate' azimuth he had been looking for also appeared.

However, at this intersection, Luo Xi stopped and fell into a brief thought.

The reason was simple. Although the 'Life Gate' fork was found, according to the rules of time, the time corresponding to this 'Life Gate' fork was an 'on the hour' time.

That is, twelve o'clock sharp.

If it was placed at night, it could also be seen as zero o'clock.

You should know that before this, all the 'on the hour' forks corresponded to the 'Death Gate', without exception.

Now, the first exception he encountered was actually the 'Life Gate' that Luo Xi had previously identified as the 'exit'.

Obviously, the mechanism that had been clearly investigated had a conflict and opposition with the actual situation. After rethinking the previous reasoning process, no loopholes were found, that is, the scene mechanism was like this.

But the position that should be the Life Gate was the 'on the hour' space representing death.

Luo Xi thought about it and knew what was going on.

It should be the last test in this scene.

Was it to leave from this 'on the hour' Life Gate, or to be on the safe side and choose other time nodes and areas to continue to detour.

What could be determined was that this choice was very crucial. If he chose wrongly, he might immediately suffer a fatal attack in the instant the scene switched after the vibration.

And if he chose to detour, it would also produce two other possibilities.

The 'Life Gate' might only appear once in this scene, and it would be impossible to encounter it again next time; or, he could still encounter it, but it would still be the same situation, and he would still need to judge, and, he would also waste time.

Luo Xi didn't consider this matter for too long.

In fact, just a few seconds later, Luo Xi made a judgment.

He walked to the 'Life Gate' fork and entered directly.

Waiting for the vibration.

A few minutes later, the vibration came as scheduled. Amid the rumbling loud noise, mixed with the scalp-numbing sound of metal twisting, after the vibration and the loud noise in his ears disappeared, looking again, Luo Xi found that he had actually returned to the intensive care unit again.

But this time, the scene was a little different.

Zhou Di on the bed was wearing black clothes and was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him.

In addition, next to this intensive care unit, there was an extra desk, piled with mountain-like piles of paper. If nothing unexpected happened, that special telephone should be hidden under the many piles of paper.

"Sure enough, you are worthy of it. You cleared my original scene in such a short time."

Zhou Di actually sighed.

This was a young man who looked very thin. The black clothes made his pale skin even more obvious. He was more like the vampire described in novels, haunting horror scenes.

"To be honest, this scene is not difficult." Luo Xi's tone seemed to have a bit of disdain. He was observing Zhou Di.

The other party was very special.

This specialty was reflected in the identity of the manager, that is, from the perspective of the 'company', Zhou Di was very special, because the other party was a living dead person within the day of imprisonment, even this ward was not actually exist.

It was some kind of mental realm.

Or rather, they were still in the virtual scene that was being created.

"Half of the people around you are already dead. The reason why the rest haven't died is because they are too mediocre. You should be able to see this. In fact, at this time, you should praise me, not anger me."

Zhou Di said weakly, his tone low, as if he couldn't catch his breath.

After speaking, he also reached out and scratched his scalp.
