Day of Imprisonment

Zhou Di woke up again.

But this time, it was different from before.

His eyes were wide open, his mind seemingly still filled with the bloody scene.

His own people had betrayed him, plotting against him and Zhao Shi Lei with Chu Yu.

The two of them had overlooked the greed and scheming of some people.

They thought that by being a little cautious, they could prevent trouble before it happened, but he never expected that Chu Yu would be so ruthless and cunning, having colluded with the people around him long ago.

This time, he had failed utterly.

Zhou Di wasn't actually afraid of death, nor was he afraid of failure.

He was already used to these things.

His weakness was Zhao Shi Lei.

This girl he met on the bus had become a part of his life, even, in Zhou Di's eyes, more important than his own life.

But he had watched helplessly as Zhao Shi Lei's hand, wearing the card ring, was chopped off, and then she was brutally killed.

In the end, he didn't even have time to say a word to Zhao Shi Lei.

At this moment, Zhou Di's whole body was numb, his heart was beating extremely fast, because he knew the consequences of death after losing the card ring.

Amnesia~

Zhao Shi Lei was different from him.

Zhou Di didn't need [Memory]. Even if he died after the loop, he could still retain his memories.

But Zhao Shi Lei couldn't.

That is to say, although Zhao Shi Lei could be resurrected in this loop, the girl who had been with him for more than a hundred loops, laughing and crying together, experiencing life and death together, and making wishes for the future together, was gone.

Thinking of this, fear was like countless sharp knives, cutting Zhou Di's flesh, and a kind of restlessness was like countless ants, crawling all over his body.

He rushed out like a madman.

At this moment, he wanted to see Zhao Shi Lei more than ever.

But when he got outside, on the silent street, Zhou Di ran and ran, but knelt on the ground and cried.

He knew very well that his 'Zhao Shi Lei' was dead.

No matter what he did, it would be of no avail.

Soon, the phone was answered, and the voice he was very familiar with came from the receiver, but at this moment, it sounded full of strangeness.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Zhou Di wanted to speak several times, but with his mouth open, he couldn't say a word.

"Hello, hello." The other side said hello a few more times, and finally said, "You must have dialed the wrong number?"

Hung up.

At this moment, Zhou Di's whole person was like his soul had been taken away, sitting on the ground decadently, his eyes dull, like he was dead.

He sat here until dawn.

The tears on his face had been dried by the wind several times, and the despair tormented him, while also being full of regret.

"I should have killed Chu Yu earlier, no, I shouldn't have established the Memory Retriever team, they all deserve to die."

Hatred, like a flood breaking through a dam.

Drowned many things.

Memories, and, a certain kindness

He wanted revenge.

And Zhou Di decided that he would kill those people in the most cruel way.

At this moment, only hatred remained in Zhou Di's eyes.

The trump card that Zhou Di didn't need to rely on [Memory] to save memories, except for Zhao Shi Lei, no one else knew.

So strictly speaking, Zhou Di is now already in the worst possible situation.

Moreover, he knows the loop better than others, and he also knows the cards better.

When a man has no attachments and only hatred in his heart, he is the most dangerous creature in this world.

As for Zhao Shi Lei, Zhou Di just found a chance to take a look at her from a distance.

Looking at her familiar smile, thinking of the bits and pieces of the past between the two.

Remember, Zhao Shi Lei once said that she didn't want to fall into that kind of terrible event again, she just wanted to live a peaceful life.

So Zhou Di decided not to disturb her anymore, and would not turn her into a 'Memory Retriever' again.

Perhaps, living happily every day as she thinks, she can be happier.

Even if she encounters misfortune, she will forget everything in the next loop.

This may be a kind of 'happiness' in a sense.

On the contrary, becoming a Memory Retriever is not a good thing for Zhao Shi Lei.

After knowing the truth, wanting to continue moving forward will inevitably be difficult and dangerous, full of pain and danger.

"This is also very good!"

After Zhou Di made his decision, he officially started his revenge plan.

He is in the dark, and the enemies are in the open.

With calculation against carelessness, this matter can be accomplished sooner or later.

Zhou Di was not too eager to achieve success, he knew that this matter must be planned, must be patient, and must consider various unexpected situations, and choose the best route.

So he was secretly monitoring and lurking for a period of time.

The Memory Retriever organization that he and Zhao Shi Lei had established was now controlled by Chu Yu and the others.

There has never been a shortage of ambitious people in this world, but after all, Zhou Di and Zhao Shi Lei were too inexperienced in guarding against people, and naturally, the lessons were extremely heavy.

But after all, this organization was created by the two of them, and not all of the Memory Retrievers in it were traitors.

Among them, there are many who still have their hearts set on Zhou Di.

After observing for a period of time, Zhou Di found an opportunity to find one of them.

The newest and fastest novels are on 69shu.com!

This person is called He Liang, and he was among the first batch of Reminiscents to join the team.

Moreover, he was saved by Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei, but not many people know about this.

This guy is like a silent gourd, maintaining a sense of distance from everyone. Even with people he's very familiar with, he doesn't say much.

Perhaps it was because of this that he avoided the internal purges by Chu Yu and others.

Those Reminiscents who were clearly associated with Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei were hunted down one by one, their card rings and all their cards were seized, and then they were killed.

The methods were cruel.

The remaining people mostly stood with Chu Yu and the others.

As for He Liang, because of his strength and the fact that he usually didn't communicate with anyone, Chu Yu and the others regarded him as a 'lone wolf,' so he was spared.

When He Liang saw Zhou Di, his eyes lit up, and he simply nodded.

The two found an opportunity to meet.

"I knew you would definitely come back," He Liang said calmly, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and handing it over.

Zhou Di took it, lit it, and took a puff.

"I want to kill them!"

The request was very simple and direct. He Liang nodded: "I'll help you!"

Zhou Di wasn't surprised by this answer at all. If others knew how he and He Liang had met, they wouldn't be surprised at all. Some people may not like to talk and keep a straight face to everyone, but they have a scale in their hearts and know what gratitude is.

"Although that guy Chu Yu is vicious and cunning, he's afraid of death. Since seizing power, he hasn't entered any instance scenarios. However, he holds almost all the card resources in his hands. In addition, he only trusts his subordinates and is always surrounded by a group of lackeys. If we want to make a move, a head-on confrontation is not feasible. It's best to outsmart him."

He Liang offered a suggestion.

Zhou Di frowned.

In that case, things were indeed difficult.

Originally, the most suitable opportunity to strike would be when the other party entered a scenario, using the scenario's mechanics to launch a sneak attack.

But if the other party turtled up and refused to come out, this path would be impossible.

Moreover, even if he counted He Liang, there were only two of them.

A direct confrontation was definitely not possible.

What's more, his and Zhao Shilei's card rings, as well as all the cards they had accumulated before, had been seized by Chu Yu. Among these cards, there were many spells, curses, and creatures. If the other party used the cards, they would have no chance of winning.

"What about drugging him, using sleeping pills, or other anesthetics?"

"It's difficult. Chu Yu is very careful about what he eats. Everything is done by his closest subordinates, and under normal circumstances, no one else is allowed to approach his location," He Liang revealed the actual situation.

He was different from the others.

Although Zhou Di hadn't mentioned the fact that he could retain memories without [Memory] to anyone other than Zhao Shilei, he sometimes let it slip.

So He Liang was very clear that Zhou Di would definitely come back for revenge.

Therefore, he had already been investigating information, observing the behavior of Chu Yu's group for several cycle days in a row, looking for loopholes that could be exploited.

However, so far, he hadn't found any opportunities to strike, or any easy opportunities to strike.

"What if we lure the other party into an instance scenario?"

"I just said that Chu Yu will not enter any instance scenarios now," He Liang shook his head.

As a result, Zhou Di sneered: "Then let's cut off Chu Yu's wings first. I can't let him and his subordinates go."

He Liang immediately understood Zhou Di's meaning. He thought for a moment and nodded: "What I can help you with is to lure some people over. The rest is up to you. Basically, our people have been almost killed by Chu Yu and the others. The rest are fence-sitters and can't be relied on at all. But the good thing is that they are not too satisfied with Chu Yu. If we make a move, these people may not help Chu Yu."

Zhou Di nodded, agreed on the next plan with He Liang, and then quietly left.

He Liang also walked back. He lit another cigarette and returned to their stronghold.

At the entrance, Chu Yu's subordinates were watching. Strangers could not be let in. He Liang was naturally a familiar face, but someone still came up and asked coldly: "Where did you go alone?"

"Went to smoke," He Liang didn't give a good look either. His temperament was originally like this, indifferent, with a sense of aloofness.

"You have been assigned an exploration mission. You will be assigned a task later." The man didn't ask any more questions, but his attitude was still bossy. He Liang naturally ignored the other party.

The strategy group still existed. Although Chu Yu was vicious, he also knew that the corresponding treatment must be given to those below as scouts and investigators, otherwise who would go to investigate the scenario?

He Liang was assigned the job of 'scout'.

The scenario was arranged by Chu Yu, and now the [Treasure Map] card was in his hands.

After receiving the [Memory] card, He Liang began the scenario exploration. On the third cycle day, he found the person in charge of arranging scout missions and said that he had completed the exploration of this instance scenario.

The general mechanics of the scenario, the danger points, and the way to clear the level were all recorded and analyzed.

Chu Yu's people were also very efficient. They immediately sent a strategy group to follow He Liang into this instance scenario called 'Archaeological Team'.
