Day of Imprisonment

#361 - Let me tell you a story

Zhou Di's state was very relaxed.

Luo Xi's observation of a person was meticulous, and he naturally captured these details.

Generally speaking, when meeting under such circumstances, if one of them is very relaxed, there are only two possibilities: one is absolute confidence, and at the same time, being a person with a very confident personality; the other is meeting someone very familiar.

Judging from Zhou Di's appearance, he doesn't seem like a very confident person. On the contrary, from the design style of the scene and the layout of this ward, it can be seen that this person is not only not confident, but also very introverted, belonging to the type of person who likes to be self-enclosed and cautious.

Then, it can only mean that the other party is very familiar with him.

"We've met before!" Luo Xi didn't follow the other party's topic, because how the scene was designed was not the point at all.

The result was that this sentence actually shocked Zhou Di to stand up from the hospital bed, but there was no panic on his face, but a certain joy.

"Luo Xi, you, you haven't lost your memory?"

As expected!

Zhou Di's identity is definitely not ordinary.

Moreover, he doesn't seem to have much hostility towards him.

Also, his mental state is not very normal.

Thanks to the sensitivity of the [Mental Patient] career card, Luo Xi can accurately identify any fellow patients at a glance.

He could have pretended to say that he hadn't lost his memory, and then used this to get information out of him. After all, Luo Xi was also very good at acting, and the other party would definitely not be able to tell.

However, Luo Xi didn't do that.

"Then you said we've met before?" Zhou Di was stunned, with disappointment written all over his face.

"Last time, in the second ward, in the innermost room, I saw you, but at that time I was terminally ill."

Hearing this, Zhou Di remembered.

"Sure enough, it was you last time. I said, I didn't see it wrong. But, in theory, no one can enter that place..."

"There are exceptions to everything, aren't there?" Luo Xi looked around, then pulled the only chair over and sat opposite the hospital bed.

The two were less than two meters apart.

"That's right, you are always so unexpected." Zhou Di muttered to himself, sitting back on the hospital bed, this time crossing his legs. After saying that, he didn't say anything else, just staring at Luo Xi, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he wasn't thinking about anything at all, just spacing out.

Luo Xi didn't speak either.

He was more patient than anyone else. Moreover, this meeting seemed like Luo Xi had cleared this unknown maze-like scene and arrived here, but in reality, Luo Xi knew that the other party was deliberately letting him off, so he had the opportunity to sit in this room.

Putting aside the state of mind, in terms of absolute strength, the other party is now an elephant, while he is just an ant.

So it was the other party who allowed him to come to this room. Then, this Zhou Di must have something to say.

Sure enough, after a few minutes of silence, Zhou Di couldn't bear it anymore.

He spoke.

But it was still that same sentence: "Luo Xi, why did you come back?"

This was the sentence Luo Xi was waiting for.

"I remember, I told you just now that I lost my memory. The so-called 'coming back', I don't even know where to start."

This was Luo Xi's answer.

In reality, he was just trying to get information out of him.

"Of course it's 'outside'. You've already gone out, why did you come back?" Zhou Di seemed to have a special obsession with this question, or rather, the answer hidden in this question could easily stir up his emotions.

So it seemed that Zhou Di was a little agitated.

"Are you referring to the outside of the Day of Imprisonment?" Luo Xi needed to confirm his guess.

"Nonsense, otherwise, where do you think it is?" Zhou Di was furious, and then said: "You promised me that you would end all of this, but you didn't. Do you know what I went through after you left? You have no idea. The reason I could hold on until now was because you went out. You were our hope, but you came back. Moreover, nothing has changed. If you haven't been deceiving me all along, then it means you failed."

"How do you know?" Luo Xi asked back.

He actually didn't know what Zhou Di was referring to.

But Luo Xi also knew that the former self was planning something, a big thing.

Project Metamorphosis!

This matter was very difficult.

Even from a certain point of view, it was simply impossible to achieve.

But Luo Xi also believed that the former self could not have planned something with zero possibility of success.

This rhetorical question made Zhou Di silent for a while again.

He didn't speak anymore.

Luo Xi could see various strange emotions on the other party, including entanglement, despair, pain, and confusion.

So Luo Xi changed the topic again.

"Was this trap your idea, or Zhou Ya's idea? Or, Wei Si's idea?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Di immediately looked up, with a look of fear in his eyes.

It seemed that the names Zhou Ya and Wei Si were the source of fear.

"Luo Xi, give up. We are no match for Wei Si at all. Zhou Ya is just an interface of Wei Si, but even an interface can easily kill the most powerful Memory Retrievers and Administrators within the Day of Imprisonment. Moreover, Wei Si, to some extent, can be called an omnipotent God. No, it is a God. How can you win against a God?"

When Zhou Di spoke, his eyes showed a hint of fear as he looked around, as if he had suddenly fallen ill. He seemed worried that someone was watching him.

"I don't think there are any gods in this world," Luo Xi said. Zhou Di immediately glared at him and retorted, "Not in the real world, but there are here."

Luo Xi roughly understood what was going on.

"You defected?" he asked tentatively.

As a result, Zhou Di immediately flew into a rage, like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

"Do you think I wanted to? I had no choice. You're back, which means either you lied to me, or you failed. If even you failed, what's the point of me continuing to resist? So when Zhou Ya came to find me, I had no other choice!"

After saying that, he changed the subject: "Besides, the reason I agreed to help Zhou Ya modify the interface, apart from leaving myself a way out, was also to see you. You can see my current situation... it's not good."

He pointed to the hospital bed beneath him.

"Fortunately, you passed my test, which means your strength hasn't declined. So, I was actually waiting for you..."

Luo Xi wasn't surprised at all: "I could tell!"

From the moment he entered the ward, Zhou Di looked like he was waiting for someone.

In other words, the other party had never considered using this scenario to kill him or trap him here.

"Luo Xi, let me tell you a story," Zhou Di said at this moment.

After that, without waiting for Luo Xi's agreement, he began to tell the story on his own.

"The beginning of this story starts with an accidental knock on the door. One day, a certain unlucky guy heard someone knocking on his door. He went to open it, and as a result, he embarked on a path of no return..."

"Oh, by the way, let me mention that the unlucky guy is me, and the one who knocked on the door was you, you bastard... Luo Xi!"

"Who are you looking for?" Zhou Di held a book in his hand, the 'Collection of Past Exam Questions for Postgraduate Entrance Examination'. He was a senior in college, preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam.

Standing at the door was a young man with a detached expression and a somewhat gloomy look.

"Zhou Di!"

"That's me, who are you?"

"My name is Luo Xi."

"I don't know you. Hey, hey, what are you doing..."

The person at the door who called himself Luo Xi barged directly into the room, then sat on the chair in the rented apartment, pulled open the drawer under the desk, flipped through a stack of books underneath, and pulled out one of them.

"Damn, what are you doing?" Zhou Di became anxious and wanted to step forward to snatch it, but the person named Luo Xi grabbed his wrist. It seemed like he didn't use much force, but Zhou Di felt like his wrist was about to be crushed.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

He begged for mercy.

"Between pages 187 and 188 of this book, there's a love letter you wrote to the school beauty in high school."

"What? You, how do you know?" Zhou Di looked astonished.

"The first sentence in the love letter is: 'I remember the first time I met you, it was on that sunny afternoon. You were wearing a white dress, with a scholarly air, gently walking across the playground. At that moment, time seemed to stand still...'"

As he spoke, the person named Luo Xi opened the book in his hand. Sure enough, between pages 187 and 188, he took out a letter.

But he didn't open it.

Zhou Di was more than just shocked, he was completely stunned.

"You are confused, surprised, and puzzled, because you have never met me, and I have never been to this room. How would I know that you hid the love letter here, and even know the content of the love letter... In fact, I know much more than you can imagine. I can give you many more examples, because we will be spending a long time together, and after that, you will believe everything I say, because I can let you witness the collapse and annihilation of this false world."

After being silent for two seconds, Zhou Di, looking at the person named Luo Xi who was talking nonsense in a serious manner, said a classic Chinese curse.

"Idiot!"

After saying that, he started shouting for help, saying that there was a thief in the house, his voice very loud.

Luo Xi didn't stop him, but sighed.

Soon, the shouts attracted the neighbors.

This place was close to the school, and the rows of apartments were all single rooms, with affordable rent. Because the living environment was better than in the dormitory, many students chose to rent here.

The neighbor was an older brother who owned a dog, surnamed Jia. He drove a sports car and was quite enthusiastic. He usually only went out in the afternoon.

He poked his head in at the door and saw the two people in the room.

"Little Zhou, what's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing that he had attracted the neighbors, Zhou Di hurriedly shouted: "Brother Jia, quickly call the police. This person is crazy. I suspect he sneaked into my house before and stole things..."

Obviously, he thought that Luo Xi had sneaked in before and looked at his hidden love letter.

Otherwise, how could he recite it word for word?

Moreover, the other party must be mentally unstable, otherwise, why would he recite someone else's love letter?

Definitely sick.

He thought that with neighbor Brother Jia coming, either he could scare this person away, or he could call the police and make a big deal out of it, but he didn't expect that what happened next was completely beyond his expectations.
