Day of Imprisonment

Inside the ward, Zhou Di stopped his narration.

He seemed to be caught in some kind of self-blame and regret.

But in the end, it turned into a sigh.

“Luo Xi, I wasted a good hand.” Zhou Di's tone was full of helplessness.

The content he narrated spanned a very long time, and some of it was vague, even full of confusion and contradictions, but Luo Xi did not point out these problems. He listened very carefully, and did not interrupt during the whole process.

“I don’t know how Han Guo and the others did it, imprisoning me in this ward. Even my body has been ruined into a useless person, but I am still alive, and my extraordinary B-level physique almost gives me immortality. But sometimes, immortality is also a kind of torment…”

“So, after that, you began to explore the improvement of the mental aspect, creating a mental domain?” Luo Xi asked at this time.

Zhou Di nodded: “That originated from a phone call.”

“Tell me in detail.” Luo Xi changed his posture and listened attentively.

Zhou Di said: “After I found myself imprisoned in the ward and unable to move, I fell into anger and madness for a while. After I calmed down, I began to look for ways to break the situation, but unfortunately, I couldn’t do anything. You know, when hope is shattered, what follows is despair… But just as I was falling into terrifying despair, I heard the phone ringing.”

“This voice seemed to exist only in my mind, but I still couldn’t do anything. I could only listen to the ringing. After a long time, I suddenly entered a certain domain, that is, another space created by mental power.”

“At first, there was nothing in this space. I searched for a long time and finally found a house. There was a telephone on the table inside. The phone seemed to have been ringing for a century. I walked over and picked up the phone with trepidation!”

“Was it Wei Si?” Luo Xi interjected at this time.

Zhou Di glanced at Luo Xi and nodded: “That’s right. The person on the other end of the phone claimed to be ‘Wei Si’. He said that he could help me, but he needed me to do some things. What happened after that was logical. Through the power of Wei Si, I obtained the improvement of the mental domain. Even if my body is imprisoned in the ward, my mental power can create another scene, even a world. The Second Ward of the First Hospital is a test product I created.”

“I understand!” Luo Xi nodded. His originally serious expression relaxed a lot at this moment, as if he had solved some doubts in his heart and found an answer he needed.

“What are you thinking?” Zhou Di noticed this change in Luo Xi.

“The answer to some questions. Zhou Di, you are indeed a crucial link. Before this, I was confused by some conflicting clues, including some things I did in the past. For example, on a certain cycle day, I also became an administrator and entered the company. Now that I think about it, I must have discovered your disappearance at that time, so I entered the company to find out the truth.”

“But you didn’t find me then.” Zhou Di’s tone was a little resentful.

“Or maybe, I deliberately didn’t contact you.” Luo Xi’s answer directly angered Zhou Di.

The latter said angrily: “If that’s the case, then why didn’t you come to me and rescue me from this state?”

“I don’t know, because I have amnesia and don’t know what the previous me who saved the memory was thinking.” Luo Xi explained, and then immediately asked a new question: “After you saw me before, you said why I wanted to come back. That is to say, you once obtained some information about me. Do you think I went somewhere?”

Zhou Di thought for a while and nodded.

“I think you left and returned to reality from the Imprisonment Day.”

“Who told you that? Wei Si?”

“Yes.” Zhou Di nodded.

Compared to Wei Si, Zhou Di clearly chose to stand on Luo Xi’s side again at this moment, or rather, from the beginning, he had never thought of betraying him.

“Then do you think Wei Si is telling the truth?” Luo Xi was obviously very concerned about this question.

“I think it’s the truth. Moreover, I myself have a lot of confidence in you. In addition, when Wei Si mentioned this matter at the time, his tone was rarely filled with some kind of anger and fear. I have talked to it many times. Like you said, it’s like an emotionless robot, an intelligent program that always maintains rationality, but that time, its tone was mixed with emotions that only humans have. At that time, I even suspected that the other party was a person, not an artificial intelligence.”

“You mean, it showed fear?” Luo Xi was obviously more concerned about this matter.

Zhou Di nodded without hesitation: “Yes, it was fear. Judging from the tone, it was even furious. Because of this, I firmly believed that I even thought you had succeeded at that time.”

Luo Xi fell into deep thought again.

But this time, he seemed to have figured something out and raised his head again.

He slowly said: “The door has been found, the password has been passed, and Teacher Yan has not been triggered.”

This means that Luo Xi is still pushing forward the original plan.

Even if the other party has amnesia, and not just once, this plan has not been interrupted.

“Luo Xi, how did you do it?” Zhou Di couldn’t help but ask.

He really couldn’t understand.

Also, because he had already contacted Wei Si, Zhou Di knew very well that Wei Si could actually influence the Imprisonment Day in various ways, and Wei Si could never have amnesia. Luo Xi was facing such a terrifying opponent, but he was able to continue to push the plan forward.

Is this guy still human?

“Actually, it’s very simple. After setting goals and plans, and confirming that you will definitely have amnesia, split the plan and arrange it for different people. Anchor some plans to certain things as a basis for judgment. At the same time, shape yourself into an absolutely paranoid madman…”

Luo Xi stopped halfway through his words.

“About Zhou Ya, what else do you know?”

Zhou Di shook his head: “What I know is very limited. Wei Si only contacted me through phone calls. He also didn’t tell me many details, only said that he would control an interface that met its invasion of the Imprisonment Day to find me, and I needed to use special means to help him complete some strengthening surgeries. Luo Xi, with the help of Wei Si, I used mental power to construct a scene called ‘Operating Room’, which can achieve an effect similar to ‘Company Strengthening Benefits’ through body modification. Luo Xi, are you going to deal with her?”

Luo Xi did not deny it.

The latest novel is at Six 9 Books Bar!

“I’ll help you. You can come here, which means you have defeated Zhou Ya once. But she is now a Memory Retriever. The most important thing is that she is Wei Si’s projection and interface and will not be affected by amnesia. In a sense, she is like me. It will be difficult for you to deal with her alone.”

Zhou Di did not hesitate and directly stated his position.

This is also the reason why Luo Xi came to Zhou Di.

Originally, it was to investigate and cut off Zhou Ya’s channels for transforming her body, but he did not expect to meet Zhou Di here, a very important link in his entire plan.

For Luo Xi, this was a pleasant surprise, but also inevitable.

Because of Zhou Di’s attributes, he could not have amnesia and must exist, so finding him was only a matter of time.

“Zhou Di, are you planning to also use the mechanism of the scene to imprison Zhou Ya in a certain scene?” Luo Xi asked. Zhou Di nodded: “Yes, this is the only way.”

“Not necessarily!” Luo Xi suddenly said: “Zhou Di, to be honest, meeting you here is indeed beyond my expectations. You should be the most important link in the Cocoon Breaking Plan. Many questions that I need to figure out have been answered here. Perhaps, we don’t need to think of ways to deal with Zhou Ya anymore.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Di was stunned. He didn’t understand what Luo Xi was saying.

Luo Xi then said: “Do you remember the things I told you to do? Three very important things, the door, the password, and Teacher Yan.”

“I remember. The second time you came to me, it seemed that none of these three things were available.” Zhou Di nodded. He seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly became wonderful, with light in his eyes: “Could it be…”

“Yes, but this time, through you, I know the three elements of the Cocoon Breaking Plan, and if my guess is correct, I have already completed two of the three elements, the door and the password. Now, only Teacher Yan is left.”

Zhou Di immediately asked: “So, what is Teacher Yan?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xi had already taken out a card.

The card was written with the number 001 [Teacher Yan].

This card was found by Luo Xi in the Fairy Tale Town after activating the number 077 [Horadric Cube] and entering another lower level similar to the headquarters building.

This card cannot be activated normally.

According to Luo Xi’s deduction, [Teacher Yan] is the most important link in the Cocoon Breaking Plan.

Therefore, before figuring out what the Cocoon Breaking Plan is actually doing, Luo Xi will not eagerly think of ways to use [Teacher Yan].

But now, after meeting Zhou Di, Luo Xi can basically confirm that the Cocoon Breaking Plan has actually reached a critical step. Two of the three elements have been achieved, and the reason why he can confirm this is also very simple.

Zhou Di said that the second time he visited, he had instructed some key information, and these information included the content about ‘door’ and ‘password’. At that time, it was said that ‘door’ had not been found, but ‘password’ had been obtained, but it had not been passed on.

Also, the previous self had instructed Zhou Di that ‘door’ should be hidden in the ‘Company Headquarters Building’. In addition, Luo Xi already knew that he had entered the company and had become an administrator, with the highest position reaching the manager level, but later he voluntarily violated the company’s regulations and was ‘fired’.

Why enter the company and then get promoted?

It may be to enter that building, and the purpose is most likely to find the door.
