Day of Imprisonment

"Something must have happened inside!"

Zhao Shi Lei was very certain.

Because Zhou Di had said that there would definitely be danger in the checkpoint scene.

Some dangers are even beyond imagination.

Before entering, Zhou Di also said that if he didn't come out or send any reply after half an hour, then Zhao Shi Lei could just leave and wait to see him on the next cycle day.

Because that would mean Zhou Di's exploration plan had failed.

The reason for letting Zhao Shi Lei leave was that there was nothing she could do alone.

It was better to plan again on the next cycle day.

And Zhao Shi Lei was originally going to leave, but she turned around and took a few steps, thought about it, and looked back again.

Finally, she walked back.

She had other ideas, and this idea was very simple and pragmatic.

That is, she can't rely on others for everything. If she relies on others for everything, and can't do anything without them, then what's the difference between her and a useless person?

Although Zhao Shi Lei looked weak, she was very strong inside.

She thought about it and analyzed a result. First of all, Zhou Di may not be dead yet, and she should go in to investigate, maybe there is still a chance. Even if there isn't, at least she can explore some new information, because Zhou Di said very clearly that cards can only be obtained in the checkpoint scene, and cards, in addition to saving memories, can also be used to obtain all kinds of incredible abilities, which is equivalent to a kind of strengthening method.

Since entering different checkpoint scenes is an unavoidable node, then there is no point in escaping regardless.

She has two [Memory] cards given by Zhou Di, so she is not afraid of amnesia.

This is her trump card.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shi Lei made a decision.

However, she didn't plan to knock on the door directly. Zhou Di knocked on the door directly before, and now there is no movement.

It is possible that the old man is a bad person.

Zhao Shi Lei began to observe, and then went around to the back of this row of buildings, and sure enough, she found something.

This chess and card room has a window in the back.

It is a two-story storefront facing the street, and the window in the back should be in the stairwell, and most importantly, it is not locked.

It can be opened to a gap of about twenty centimeters.

This width is not a big problem for her to squeeze in.

So, after sending a message to the bottom of the table again and getting no reply, she mustered up her courage and climbed in through the window in the back.

In fact, she regretted it a little from the moment she climbed in.

Mainly because she was scared.

But as a female college student with the simple values of 'since I'm here', she gritted her teeth and endured the fear to investigate.

Fortunately, there was no one in the stairwell.

She poked her head out and looked at the first floor. There were several tables in the area like a hall, all mahjong tables, but it seemed that only one table had people, and the other two tables were empty.

There was someone sitting on a chair next to the empty table sleeping.

But the problem is, it's very quiet, even at the table with four people sitting, you can't hear the sound that should be made when playing mahjong.

Very strange.

But you can see that there is smoke billowing over there, and the smell of smoke is very strong, it should be someone smoking.

But the problem is that it's too quiet here on the first floor. Four people are playing mahjong, but they are all sitting stiffly and motionless, not drawing cards or playing cards. This is really strange.

After getting close to a certain distance, Zhao Shi Lei saw clearly, but in the next moment, she widened her eyes and reached out to cover her mouth.

Because she almost screamed.

On the mahjong table surrounded by four people, there was a palm-width wooden board standing behind each of them. Each person was tightly strangled by iron wire around their necks and tied to the wooden board, so that they could maintain an upright posture.

But even Zhao Shi Lei, who hadn't seen many corpses, could be sure at this time that the four people were dead.

And they died very thoroughly.

The eyelids of these four people were cut off, staring at their bloody eyeballs. Their mouths seemed to be cut open as well, with the lips and facial skin missing, and the teeth could be seen clearly.

This scene was too scary.

Zhao Shi Lei is not a very courageous person. Although she has experienced an explosion, explosions are the kind of thing that kills you in a bang.

To be honest, there is no pain.

She didn't even have time to be afraid, and there was no similar bloody and terrifying visual impact.

So Zhao Shi Lei was stunned on the spot, and didn't even dare to move.

Her mind was blank.

At this time, the sudden sound of footsteps brought Zhao Shi Lei back to her senses. She immediately took advantage of her petite figure and squatted on the ground. Immediately afterwards, a person walked out from the first floor, which should be the kitchen.

The fat old man who opened the door.

The other party was carrying a kitchen knife in his hand, holding a plate, humming some kind of opera tune, and walking over with his head shaking.

Zhao Shi Lei suddenly realized that the other party was going upstairs.

In this case, the other party will definitely find her.

People can always unleash some potential in emergency situations.

At this moment, Zhao Shi Lei is like this. When she realizes that danger is coming, although she is still scared to death, her mind is exceptionally clear. Obviously, if she doesn't do anything and just squats here, she will definitely be discovered.

Because this is the other party's only way to go.

Immediately, she bent down and crawled forward slowly on her hands and feet, trying to use the mahjong table and the four corpses sitting around to play Qin Wang's column trick with this fat old man.

As long as she controls the angle well and doesn't make any noise, the chances of success are still very high.

The reality was just as she expected. She observed the opponent's route, slowly moving around the table from the other side. Fortunately, the light in the room wasn't particularly bright. There was only an old chandelier above the mahjong table, illuminating it, but the surrounding environment remained very dim.

This made it easier for her to play this thrilling game of hiding in plain sight.

As the fat old man walked upstairs carrying the plate, Zhao Shi Lei seemed to have escaped this calamity.

But unexpectedly, the other party suddenly turned his head and returned.

Zhao Shi Lei's heart, which had just settled, leaped again.

She also made a decisive decision, quickly diving between the two corpses and hiding under the mahjong table.

From the angle below, all four corpses were tightly bound to the chairs.

Not only were their necks strangled by several loops of wire, but their feet and legs were also bound.

Because they were strangled so tightly, they looked extremely swollen, their skin was already purplish-blue, and their toes were swollen like radishes, making them look very scary.

But at this time, Zhao Shi Lei couldn't care about so much.

The space under this table was the only place she could hide.

Just a step away outside, the fat old man walked back and forth, obviously noticing something.

But Zhao Shi Lei felt that her movements were very light, so she shouldn't have been discovered.

With a侥幸心理, she hid underneath, not daring to move.

At the same time, she wondered why Zhou Di said there were no problems after entering. She knew that this table of corpses was very conspicuous and impossible not to see.

"Could it be that Zhou Di was attacked after entering? Was the person who sent me the message actually someone else?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Shi Lei got goosebumps again.

At this moment, the footsteps outside stopped.

She could see that the other party was standing next to the table, not moving.

At this moment, Zhao Shi Lei's heart was in her throat.

Suddenly, she realized a problem.

"I've been discovered."

Zhao Shi Lei suddenly thought of the scent.

She was a girl, and girls more or less would spray some perfume.

And the scent of perfume was definitely very obvious in this environment.

This was undoubtedly her biggest flaw.

Almost at the instant she realized this, the fat old man also bent down, lowered his head, and looked at her dumbfounded under the table, revealing a smile that was extremely frightening.

"That's how it is!" Zhao Shi Lei's face was a little pale.

Next to her was Zhou Di, who was somewhat accustomed to it.

After all, he had more experience than Zhao Shi Lei in being killed.

"Don't keep a straight face. You'll get used to it. The first time is indeed more painful. I understand," Zhou Di comforted her.

Zhao Shi Lei rolled her eyes at him. Obviously, she didn't need this kind of comfort.

"What I mean is, let's not go to that scene, or just call the police directly," Zhao Shi Lei hadn't finished speaking when Zhou Di shook his head: "Don't forget what kind of world this is. Even if we call the police and catch the serial killer, the scene disappears. What good is it for us?"

Zhao Shi Lei's mouth moved.

She didn't speak.

Of course, she knew what Zhou Di meant.

They needed more cards, and cards could only be obtained from the instance scenes. If they didn't go because the instance scene was dangerous, they would completely lose the original intention of improving their own entity.

"I understand!" Zhao Shi Lei sighed. However, the memory of being killed in that terrifying card room was too clear, as if it had just happened. For her, it was still a bit too stimulating.

She needed to soothe this stimulation.

Otherwise, she suspected she might go crazy directly.

"But knowing there was danger, you still came in to find me. I'm actually very happy," Zhou Di said at this time.

Trust is built up little by little.

This was the case with Zhou Di and Zhao Shi Lei.

Even after a long, long time, he had not forgotten the scene of this timid girl deciding to enter the scene to find him.

"Xiao Shi!"

"What did you call me?"

"Isn't your name Zhao Shi Lei? Xiao Zhao is too formal, and Xiao Lei doesn't sound good."

"Okay."

"You can actually treat the instance scene as a game. We have the advantage of memory and experience. Even if the scene is difficult, as long as we try it again and again, we can clear it."

Zhou Di's words were true.

Because next, the two of them had a way to clear the instance.

After knowing that the fat old serial killer had a keen nose, Zhao Shi Lei naturally wouldn't spray perfume again. In addition, she noticed that the fat old man was carrying a plate to prepare food at the time, so the two bought sleeping pills and then used a feint to lure the fat old man away, while the other person drugged the food.

Using this method, they easily cleared the instance, and the rewards obtained this time were very generous.

In addition to one [Memory] card each, they also each received a chance to draw a card.

What Zhao Shi Lei drew was a [Lucky Dice], which could be used to roll the dice. The number that appeared would be the number of additional card draws that could be added next time.

Undoubtedly, this was a very powerful prop.

So, she immediately gave it to Zhou Di, letting him use it in this card draw.

And Zhou Di rolled a 6.

In this way, the original 1 card draw chance directly became 6 chances.
