Day of Imprisonment

Zhou Di didn't sleep at all during this bizarre night.

He couldn't sleep anyway.

Everything in the room had returned to normal, exactly as it was before.

Zhou Di stood at the door in a daze for a long time, feeling the night breeze was a bit cold before returning to the room, but he didn't believe in evil, put on his coat, ran out, and bought some things at the convenience store downstairs.

The clerk was dozing off, his eyelids almost unable to stay open.

After paying, Zhou Di couldn't wait to tear open a bag of potato chips and stuff them into his mouth, the familiar taste and texture, but he felt like he was chewing wax.

He ran back to the room like a madman, looking at everything inside.

"Was everything before real, or was it just my imagination?"

Zhou Di was a little dazed.

The things he had experienced before were unbelievable, even crazy and exaggerated, to anyone.

Because everything was normal now, and he couldn't see any problems, he was a little dazed again.

Compared to the 'false world,' the process of restarting, and the giant tentacles, the possibility and explanation that he was experiencing a mental breakdown due to excessive pressure from preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, seeing hallucinations, and having delusions seemed more reasonable.

Until he saw the baseball bat he bought for 9.9 yuan on the ground, the opened love letter on the table, and the computer.

Zhou Di rushed over and searched for files on the computer, and finally, he found a program that was running.

'Mr. D'.

When he opened it with trepidation, a dialog box popped up on the screen.

It said, 'Game initialization settings, after confirmation, the game will automatically perform the initial scene release and card rewards.'

Zhou Di could confirm that this was not his graduation design.

But Luo Xi also said that this was a card game based on his graduation design.

He clicked confirm.

In the next moment, windows popped up quickly on the screen, code rolling up and down.

"System initialization... Card library initialization... Company system initialization... Initial scene initialization..."

Zhou Di watched the flashing information on the screen, wondering what would happen next.

Interestingly, he was actually a little expectant.

Because after seeing these, he could finally confirm that everything he encountered before was not delusion or hallucination.

Luo Xi, this person, also really existed.

"System initialization completed... Card library initialization completed... Company system initialization completed... Initial scene initialization completed..."

After waiting for a long time, seeing the prompt pop up on the screen, Zhou Di was on high alert at this moment.

He didn't know what would happen next.

In addition to bringing expectation, the unknown also brings apprehension.

As a result, the next moment, the screen went black.

Immediately afterward, a puff of smoke came out of the computer case.

Zhou Di was dumbfounded, a little confused, he couldn't figure it out, in this situation, was 'Mr. D' installed successfully, or did it fail?

So he tried to see if he could fix the computer, and after tinkering until dawn, he finally determined that it couldn't be fixed.

Looking at the disassembled computer case, Zhou Di was too lazy to put it back together.

He slumped in his chair, a little lost, not knowing what to do now.

At this time, there was a dog barking outside the door.

Zhou Di remembered that Jia Ge next door would come out to walk the dog every morning.

It seemed that today was no different from yesterday.

Zhou Di was a little hungry, he was going to boil water to cook a pack of instant noodles, there were eggs and sausages in the refrigerator, and bread.

The water boiled.

The dog outside the door was still barking.

"Didn't Jia Ge come downstairs?" Zhou Di muttered.

Usually, he would have gone downstairs to walk the dog long ago.

Usually, it would take more than ten minutes to come back.

But from just now, the dog had been barking at the door.

But at the next moment, the dog suddenly let out a scream, and then there was no sound.

Something's wrong!

Zhou Di immediately turned his head to look at the door.

The dog's barking disappeared too suddenly, and what was the matter with the last scream?

Immediately, Zhou Di walked over, opened the door, and prepared to find out.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

A person wearing a black raincoat, holding a dripping sharp knife in his hand, was standing at the door, the corridor was full of blood, and also, this person was carrying a bloody dog head in his hand.

It was Jia Ge's dog!

"Holy crap..."

Zhou Di was about to close the door immediately, but the person in the black raincoat moved faster, actually rushed over directly, slammed the door open, and broke into the house.

Stab!

Stab~

Zhou Di stared with bloodshot eyes, his heart was extremely terrified, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound at all, he could only watch the other person stab his stomach again and again.

It hurts.

It really hurts.

I want to resist, but why don't I have the strength?

Why can't my eyes see anything?

Strange.

Why doesn't it hurt anymore?

Ah~

Zhou Di suddenly opened his eyes.

His heart was beating very fast, thump, thump, thump, his mind was full of the scene of being stabbed to death alive before, and the pain and the numbing feeling of powerlessness.

In the next moment, as if he had come back to his senses, he hurriedly reached out and touched his body.

No injuries?

"What's going on?"

Zhou Di was stunned, he found that he was still in his room, the computer screen was black, wait, what's that smell?

Seeing the smoke coming from the computer case, Zhou Di hurriedly unplugged the power cord.

Then he grabbed the plug and froze.

"I've experienced this before, what exactly is this..."

He got up and looked out the window, the sky outside was still dark.

The time was a little after four in the morning.

It would be dawn in a little over an hour.

"Was I dreaming before? Or did time rewind?" Zhou Di was somewhat dazed, but he was very certain that his previous experience was very real, especially when he tried to fight the murderer who broke in, but was easily suppressed by the other party, and then directly stabbed.

Once a person is stabbed the first time and injured, it is difficult to fight back.

Then came the second knife, the third knife...

"Every knife hit a vital point. Logically, I should be dead..."

This was what Zhou Di couldn't understand.

A normal person encountering such an unbelievable thing might be directly stunned, or would assume that they were dreaming before.

But Zhou Di had experienced even more incredible and bizarre things.

The annihilation of the world!

Although he couldn't find the answer for the time being, he decided to verify it.

"If there really is a murderer, the time they strike is around six o'clock in the morning, which is when Brother Jia walks his dog."

Thinking of this, Zhou Di breathed a sigh of relief.

It's still early.

The murderer shouldn't have come yet.

"Leave here first!"

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

Avoiding danger is human nature.

Moreover, Zhou Di had already thought it through. He would call the police in a while.

"But this is a fake world, so what am I doing?" Zhou Di's mind was a bit chaotic, but whether it was real or illusory, being killed was definitely not okay.

Packing his things, Zhou Di pushed the door and walked out.

It was very quiet outside.

And there was no one.

After all, it was only a little after four o'clock, and most people were sleeping at this time.

While walking, Zhou Di took out his phone, preparing to call the police.

But at this moment, he hesitated again.

"What if it's really a dream?"

And what would he say when calling the police?

Could he tell them that a murderer would come here to kill someone later? Last time, I was stabbed to death by him.

Most likely, he would be arrested for making a false report.

Zhou Di sighed. He ultimately didn't call the police, mainly because he couldn't be sure himself.

In the dark stairwell, the night wind was cold.

Pressing the elevator button, Zhou Di shrank his neck and tightened his collar.

"I'm hungry. I might as well go to the convenience store downstairs to get something to eat. That's right, I'll keep an eye on things from below. If something really happens, it won't be too late to call the police."

Thinking of this, Zhou Di felt a lot more relaxed.

The elevator slowly ascended, finally reaching his floor.

Ding~

The elevator door opened.

And the moment it opened, Zhou Di's pupils contracted.

There was someone inside.

Only one person, it wasn't raining, but they were wearing a raincoat, with the raincoat hood on, head lowered, making it impossible to see their face.

But Zhou Di had seen this person before.

It was the murderer from before.

In that instant, his hair stood on end. His first reaction was to run, but he immediately realized that if he ran, the other party would definitely notice.

Stay calm first.

But he didn't dare to enter the elevator, nor did he dare to run. He just froze there.

At this moment, Zhou Di's mind was in chaos, his brain a blank.

Now he only hoped that the elevator would close quickly, and at the same time, he pondered that this murderer really existed, which meant that everything before was not a dream or an illusion...

Moreover, this murderer had arrived long ago.

The other party seemed to have bloodstains on them.

Had this guy already started killing people?

Could it be that he had already entered the building and was killing each household one by one?

Several thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to be moving, and the elevator door began to close automatically. At this moment, Zhou Di finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had decided that he would go downstairs via the stairs in a while.

That's right, he had to call the police quickly.

As a result, just as the elevator door was about to close, a hand reached out, grabbing the door, and the elevator door reopened.

Zhou Di's head buzzed, and without saying a word, he turned and ran.

At this time, only an idiot wouldn't run.

But when people are anxious and flustered, they don't have time to consider the route. He almost habitually ran back to his own doorstep.

He began to take out his keys, frantically trying to open the door.

But the more nervous he was, the more he couldn't open the door. It was hard to find the key, and he couldn't insert it into the keyhole. It was hard to insert it in, and Zhou Di felt a pain in his lower back.

Damn it~

The knife had also been inserted.

He wanted to shout, but in the next moment, his neck was pinched, and then a knife to the neck, a knife to the chest.

Zhou Di, like a deflated ball, couldn't shout and collapsed to the ground.

Ah~

Zhou Di sat up with a start, covered in sweat.

It was still his room, the smoking computer. This time, he didn't unplug it, but instead remained silent, calming his emotions while thinking about this matter.

"I understand now. This is a freaking cycle, starting from when I wake up and ending when I'm killed."

Zhou Di wasn't stupid.

After being stabbed twice in a row, he had also reacted.

In the next moment, he took out his phone and directly dialed the police.

"Hello, hello, I want to report a crime~"

"Don't worry, what's the situation over there?"

Zhou Di was about to tell the truth, but in the next second, he realized.

If he told the truth, the other side definitely wouldn't believe him.

After all, he was stuck in some kind of cycle, being constantly killed. Unless someone experienced it firsthand, no one would believe it.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and only said that he had discovered a murder.

The other side immediately asked for the specific location and asked if anyone was injured now.

He could only make up the details, saying that he heard someone shouting for help, saying that someone was killing people.

"Okay, the report has been recorded. We will arrange for someone to go over there immediately. Please try to hide and protect yourself, and keep your phone line open."

After saying that, they hung up the phone.
