Day of Imprisonment

Whether it was Zhou Di or Luo Xi, they both looked very young, like students.

But Brother Jia considered himself a man of the world.

He glanced at the people in the room.

The other person was sitting in a chair, holding an envelope in his hand, seemingly without any threat, and he wasn't holding any weapons either.

"Little Zhou, don't be anxious. Young man, what do you do? Let me tell you, talk things over nicely. Don't do anything illegal. Your parents raised you with such difficulty."

"Zhou Di and I are classmates. We had some conflicts before, but don't worry, I'm just here to have a good talk with him."

"You—" Zhou Di was about to speak when he heard Luo Xi whisper, "This person is called Jia Wei, forty-one years old. He has two daughters to raise. If he dies, wouldn't his family fall apart?"

Hearing this and seeing the indifference and coldness in Luo Xi's eyes, Zhou Di felt a chill down his spine.

He could only swallow the words he wanted to say.

Because he suddenly remembered that this person was very strong. Just now, his hand gripped his wrist like an iron clamp.

If they fought, even with Brother Jia, they might not be able to beat him.

Moreover, this person might be carrying a weapon.

"Why bother others with our affairs? Why trouble innocent people?" Luo Xi added.

Zhou Di fell silent, feeling uneasy. Brother Jia at the door seemed to have noticed that these two were whispering, guessing they really knew each other.

"Little Zhou, if he's a classmate, have a good chat with him. Young people, don't be impulsive. I'll go back first. Call me if anything happens. I can hear you." Brother Jia said goodbye and went back.

The room fell silent. Luo Xi didn't speak, just stared at Zhou Di, who couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want?"

"Zhou Di, I know what you're thinking, but some things you can't avoid. This is somewhat similar to 'fate'." Zhou Di noticed that the other person glanced at the time while speaking.

"I don't understand what you're saying?" Zhou Di observed the other person, looking for any place where he might be hiding a weapon.

At the same time, his eyes inadvertently swept to the side, because under his desk, he had a wooden stick hidden.

For self-defense.

He even started thinking about rushing over in a moment, grabbing the wooden stick, and making the first move.

"You want to grab that baseball bat you bought online for 9.9 yuan with free shipping? If that thing can bring you some sense of security, it's okay. Take it. It doesn't affect our conversation." Luo Xi actually knew, and the next moment, he got up, walked to the desk, and accurately pulled out the wooden stick hidden underneath, handing it over.

Zhou Di was now both surprised and scared, and his mind was full of questions.

"Why are you standing there? Take it." Luo Xi stuffed the wooden stick into the other person's hand.

Zhou Di then gripped the wooden stick tightly, staring at Luo Xi with a wary expression.

"I suggest you don't hit me with that thing, because it's pointless. And, I will definitely fight back, which might hurt you. That doesn't align with your and my interests, it's not good for either of us," Luo Xi earnestly advised.

Zhou Di didn't dare to act now.

He felt that the person in front of him was truly abnormal, but the other person seemed to know a lot about him, knew many things. And, if he thought about it carefully, he would discover incredible things. The other person couldn't have read his love letter, because the love letter was sealed with stickers and had never been opened.

Also, his neighbor Brother Jia's name and family situation, and this baseball bat he bought for 9.9 yuan with free shipping...

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand it even more.

"Sit down, let me talk to you." Luo Xi pointed to the bed over there.

Zhou Di thought for a moment, then walked over and sat down.

"I know you're very confused and perplexed, but I need you to listen carefully to every word I'm about to say. You can think of this as listening to a story..."

"It's 10:31 AM now. In one hour and twenty-nine minutes, at 12:00 PM, this false world will undergo its first collapse and annihilation. To be honest, I haven't seen it before, so I'm also very curious about what this false world will look like then, what will happen."

Zhou Di: "..."

"So, what do you think, what can be done to achieve this 'awakening'?" Luo Xi looked at Zhou Di and suddenly asked a question.

The latter trembled nervously.

He felt the lunatic in front of him was about to have an episode. If he didn't answer, who knew what that madman would do to him.

Just as he was racking his brains, preparing to speak, Luo Xi across from him said to himself, "You answered correctly. It's about letting them see the cage itself, which is to let them understand the very thing: 'This world is fake.'"

Zhou Di was dumbfounded.

He thought, 'I didn't say anything at all.'

"So, the first step is to destroy this false world, forcing that traitor to activate the backup plan we set up. And this is just the first step of the entire plan. After success, it's about truly breaking the cage, which I call the 'Breaking the Cocoon Plan.'"

"This step is very difficult, and the time span will be very long, but it's worth it. However, one person can't handle this, so I came to find you."

The impassioned Luo Xi now turned his gaze to Zhou Di.

This made the latter's scalp tingle and tremble.

"They, or I, implanted something in you, something very crucial. Oh, right, to prevent me from losing my memory in the future… No, not prevent, I will definitely lose my memory in the future. So, please remember this story and tell it to me again when you have the chance."

"I'll continue. You have some crucial things implanted in you. I call it 'Mr. D.' This is also the fate I mentioned before. This thing is mandatory; you can't escape it. And the truly crucial things are actually two: besides Mr. D, there's also 'Teacher Yan.' I know you don't know what these two things are. To be honest, I don't really understand either. You just need to remember this and then relay it to me in the future."

Next, Luo Xi began to talk about that 'cage,' that 'cocoon' that bound everyone, that false world.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"This is a world that has been fabricated and pieced together, including memories. I don't know about others, but I know about you and me, Zhou Di. You are very special. What you are experiencing now is actually the most beautiful period in your memory: university life, sweet first love. It's like a dream you voluntarily chose to have. I guess others are the same; they hope to savor it when they wake up from the dream. But none of you expected that this dream you voluntarily entered would become the cage that binds you."

Luo Xi talked a lot about the false world, about cocoons and cages.

At first, Zhou Di listened in a daze, completely treating these words as the ravings of a madman.

But gradually, he understood a little.

A virtual world that can be customized, where memories can be customized, just like a person who wants to relive a very happy and memorable moment in their life can achieve it through this false world.

As if to personally experience it again.

Perhaps because he realized that this Luo Xi didn't really intend to harm him, or perhaps because, after listening to so much of this nonsense, he developed a slight desire to understand, Zhou Di asked a question for the first time.

"Are you saying that I am now in this false world, experiencing a certain unforgettable memory? Is it a kind of…reminiscing?"

"Looks like you understood."

Understood my ass, Zhou Di roared in his heart. He didn't dare to say it out loud, afraid that the other party would suddenly have an episode.

"Then, according to what you said, since it's about experiencing a dream, then there will eventually be a day to wake up?" Zhou Di said the question in his heart at this time, while comforting himself, he did this only to appease this delusional madman.

"You can't wake up. That traitor tampered with it, so in order to make everyone realize that this is a false world, I came here to let you, to let many people witness the annihilation of this world."

"Wait a minute, how do you know this world is going to be annihilated?"

"Because I did it."

"."

Zhou Di couldn't help but laugh.

He really didn't want to waste any more time. He should call the police and have this lunatic arrested and sent to where he should be.

"Heh, then I might as well call you the World Destroyer. After you destroy the world, what's your plan?" Zhou Di had decided that he would take the opportunity to run out when the other party wasn't paying attention and then call the police.

"World Destroyer? No, you're mistaken. I'm only destroying a false world. Besides, I'm not really destroying it, because this place can't be truly destroyed; it will automatically 'reboot.'"

While the other party was speaking, Zhou Di finally found an opportunity.

This Luo Xi seemed to be thinking.

And he also looked at the time on his watch.

When the other party's attention was not focused, it was his chance to escape.

Immediately, Zhou Di didn't hesitate. He suddenly got up and ran towards the door, but just at this moment, he heard Luo Xi behind him say, "It's time!"

Zhou Di was stunned, but he still ran to the door without hesitation. He quickened his pace, preparing to go directly to the fire escape to go downstairs, and just right, the large window here could see the scenery outside.

The next moment, he saw a scene he would never forget.

In the distance, the edge of the city began to disappear, like a long corridor, the lights on that side were turning off one by one.

Falling into absolute darkness.

This process was very fast, as if a monster too large to imagine was swallowing the world, because it wasn't just the ground that was disappearing, but also the sky.

It was as if the world was collapsing, dying.

"He, he was telling the truth!" At this moment, Zhou Di only had this sentence in his mind.
