Day of Imprisonment
#379 - Just one step away
The reason I became an administrator back then was probably because Zhou Di had already ‘disappeared,’ leaving me with no choice but to become an administrator. So, joining the company was most likely a forced decision.
However, after being promoted to supervisor, one day I deliberately violated company rules and left the company at the cost of ‘memory loss.’
Here, the word ‘deliberately’ is very important.
It’s key!
Luo Xi understood himself well. He planned every step before acting. Therefore, the fact that he could leave the company voluntarily could only mean one possibility.
The door is very likely the medium.
Two of the three elements have already been achieved.
Only the last one, ‘Teacher Yan,’ remains.
Before this, although I had obtained the card, Luo Xi didn't know what ‘Teacher Yan’ actually was. However, after Zhou Di recounted the past and mentioned Mr. D, Luo Xi had a guess.
Because back then, in the rhetoric I used to inform Zhou Di, I put ‘Mr. D’ and ‘Teacher Yan’ together. Moreover, the naming rules of these two things were similar. They both sounded like a certain ‘person.’
But in reality, Mr. D is not a person, but a card game system.
Therefore, ‘Teacher Yan’ is also not a person.
It might be another kind of thing, like some kind of ‘program.’ The reason for this deduction is not only because of Mr. D, but also because when I obtained the [Teacher Yan] card, the course taught by the old professor in the top-floor classroom was ‘Basic Computer Theory.’
This is definitely not a coincidence.
The clues I left behind cannot be coincidences.
Combining these factors together naturally leads to some conclusions.
Zhou Di’s description made it very clear that he himself was also an ‘interface’ representing Mr. D. Therefore, to activate [Teacher Yan], it might only be possible through an ‘interface.’
Of the three elements of the Chrysalis Project, only [Teacher Yan] remains, and the interface is Zhou Di.
In other words, the conditions to activate [Teacher Yan] should already be met.
So, what are we waiting for?
Luo Xi connected all the memories and the many clues he had found at this moment, outlining a long and arduous plan.
Originally, this plan encountered some unexpected problems. For example, the sudden ‘disappearance’ of Zhou Di, a key link, led to some detours. However, due to some unexpected circumstances, he happened to meet Zhou Di again.
Equivalent to, the plan can be accelerated and completed ahead of schedule.
He handed [Teacher Yan] to Zhou Di, who also looked excited.
“So, you’ve already found Teacher Yan. Good, good, then let’s begin.” Zhou Di intended to hand the card back.
Then, he saw the somewhat stunned Luo Xi.
The two looked at each other without saying a word.
After a while, Luo Xi took the card back and sighed, “So, you don’t know how to activate [Teacher Yan]?”
“Isn’t that obvious? You never told me.” Zhou Di looked aggrieved and somewhat agitated, “Besides, you were the one who started Mr. D back then. I basically didn’t do anything. Now you want me to activate [Teacher Yan]? This joke is a bit too big, right?”
“I know, it’s that computer.” Zhou Di suddenly reacted. He used his computer to activate Mr. D back then. Now, to activate Teacher Yan, it’s probably the same method.
But Luo Xi shook his head.
“It’s not that computer. Since I said you are the interface of Mr. D, then the only person who can activate [Teacher Yan] is you. Most importantly, [Teacher Yan] is a card. A computer can’t activate a card. Only a Memory Retriever can activate a card, but you are still affiliated with the company, and company employees cannot use cards.”
This time, Zhou Di understood.
So, the problem lies here.
Just because of the identity issue?
This feeling is very bad, like overcoming obstacles and making tireless efforts, finally about to reach the end. Just one more step to achieve the goal, but that one step just can't be taken.
He thought for a while and sighed, “My current situation is very special. Han Guo and the others are at the same level as me and can’t fire me, so they can only use this method to trap me, unless someone among them is promoted to the general manager level of the company…”
But Luo Xi shook his head, “You better not count on them.”
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Di was puzzled.
In his opinion, if Han Guo and the others were promoted to general manager, they would definitely fire him from the company.
After all, keeping him is meaningless and may become a hidden danger.
But being promoted to general manager is definitely not an easy task. The ‘performance’ to accumulate is an astronomical figure and requires a long time.
“If you mean I need to wait a long time, that’s okay. I can wait. After all, I’ve already waited this long…”
“It’s not a matter of time. If I’m not mistaken, Han Guo and those people have already been taken care of.”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Di completely didn't understand what Luo Xi was saying: "Got killed? Who could kill a company's vice president level? Do you know what enhancement levels are? Vice president level, those are all Transcendent B-level existences, no one can kill them."
"Immortals can," Luo Xi sighed.
Zhou Di laughed: "Where would immortals come from?"
He suddenly froze.
His smile stiffened.
He looked at Luo Xi, his mind raced, and he suddenly said: "What exactly did you do last time?"
Luo Xi thought for a moment and said: "Based on the clues I've gathered and what actually happened, it can be inferred that last time, after discovering they couldn't find you, they had to temporarily change their plan and choose to become an administrator."
This information was obtained by Luo Xi from different places, including Old Yao from the Haunted Building, the Six Dings and Six Jias from Yongge Supermarket, Zhang Zhe from Fairytale Town, and also Supervisor Baicai.
Information obtained from different channels can be mutually verified to arrive at a result that is closest to the truth.
"With my ability, obtaining an administrator agreement wasn't difficult, and the level scenarios were also carefully selected so I could advance according to the company's rules as quickly as possible, because I needed to enter the headquarters building, and to enter the headquarters building, the level of an ordinary administrator is not enough, at least I had to advance to the level of a chief supervisor."
This content already corresponded to the descriptions of the Six Dings and Six Jias, and Baicai back then.
In addition, Luo Xi could confirm that he, at that time, besides planning to enter the 'Company' headquarters building to find the door used to transmit the password, also did many other things.
For example, creating the Six Dings and Six Jias, creating Yongge Supermarket, and the subsequent Fairytale Town.
Most importantly, he left behind a method for 'becoming an immortal', and may have even deliberately set a trap, hinting and scheming for someone to borrow this immortal formation, creating a terrifying Immortal-level being.
And that Jia Shen among the Six Dings and Six Jias, not only fell for the trap, but also rebelled, staging an epic drama in Yongge Supermarket.
From that cycle day onward, the 'awakening' time of all Reminiscents was moved forward by one hour.
Different people have different guesses about this matter, and perhaps each Reminiscent's understanding and interpretation is different.
But in Luo Xi's view, besides being a change in mechanism, it is also a kind of 'mark' and 'symbol'.
Or to put it more bluntly, it's a 'password'.
A very unique password.
Before meeting Zhou Di, Luo Xi didn't know about the existence of the 'Door', nor did he know that the 'Door' was in the Company headquarters building.
Now that he knew, he connected this matter with Jia Shen's rebellion and his own time as an administrator, and as a result, he had a new speculation.
Luo Xi could be certain that the former self had found that door.
But this time's self doesn't know where the 'Door' is, which only means that it was placed in a very safe place by the former self, and similarly, the so-called 'password' must also be left there.
Because Luo Xi has amnesia this time and doesn't remember the previous things at all.
If every instance of amnesia is within the plan, then the previous speculations must all be true.
That's why Luo Xi is certain that the door was found and the password was transmitted.
Similarly, Jia Shen creating an Immortal-level Ghost Mother and entering the high-rise area of the Company headquarters building, followed by the explosion of Yongge Supermarket, which led to the restart of the entire Confinement Day, and then the awakening time of all Reminiscents was moved forward by one hour.
This is the 'password' representing the success of the previous plan.
Luo Xi was only certain of this at this moment.
Similarly, using Jia Shen to create an 'Immortal level' to slaughter the 'Company's' highest level was also part of the plan, but Luo Xi at that time didn't know that he could coincidentally meet Zhou Di later, so the plan at that time led to the current inability to change 'Zhou Di's' identity in a short time.
Because once you join the Company, there is only one way to leave and lift the restrictions and limitations of the agreement.
That is to violate the Company's regulations and have a superior exercise their power to fire you.
"Wait a minute, if you just killed Han Guo and the other vice presidents, they will still be resurrected with the restart of the cycle day," Zhou Di said at this time, but Luo Xi shook his head: "Do you think the me back then didn't think of this? Since I arranged this step at that time, it means there is a way to solve it. I can confirm that Han Guo and the others can no longer continue to perform the duties of vice president, and the current 'Company', above the regional director, is already in a vacuum state."
"Then what do you say we should do?" Zhou Di was completely out of ideas.
Victory was only one step away, but he just couldn't take that step, and it was because of him, this 'interface'. Now he doesn't have the identity of a Reminiscent, so he can't use cards, and Luo Xi hadn't anticipated this situation, so he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.
A few minutes later, Luo Xi sighed.
"In everything, haste makes waste, and in fact, my meeting you in this state here was not originally in the plan, so, Zhou Di, I still have to trouble you to wait a little longer."
Zhou Di grinned when he heard this: "It's okay, counting from the day you knocked on the door, I've already waited a long, long time, so I don't mind waiting a little longer."
