Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi squatted down, staring intently at the thermos, then reached out and pulled out the wooden stopper.

Glug.

It was full of viscous blood, and an extremely strong bloody smell instantly rushed out.

Looking at the blood that was overflowing, Luo Xi smiled.

"Found you!"

The next moment, from the narrow mouth of the thermos, fingers stretched out, followed by a tiny palm squeezing out, and then a pale arm. As the process continued, a large amount of blood overflowed from inside, flowing all over the ground.

It looked quite horrifying.

After the arm stretched out, it groped around, then continued to squeeze out.

Next, a wad of cloth emerged from inside, more and more, more and more.

Snap, finally, a large blood-soaked cloth and several scalp-numbing remains of limbs and arms poured out of the narrow thermos, flowing all over the ground.

At this moment, a terrifying aura and mental fluctuations enough to drive people crazy filled the surroundings.

A normal person would have been scared to death or driven insane.

But Luo Xi watched indifferently, with a hint of appraisal and impatience.

"Where's the item?"

He even urged.

The severed limbs and arms on the ground suddenly wandered around and combined with the cloth. Finally, it was as if a person, topped with this large piece of cloth, stood up from the sea of blood.

The scene was extremely shocking.

But Luo Xi felt nothing.

One person, one ghost, confronted each other.

Luo Xi reached out for the item.

The ghost was silent for about two seconds before reluctantly taking out a card and handing it over.

Luo Xi took it and glanced at it, then turned and left.

The last item, [Surgery Sheet], was in hand.

Now, all four key items had been collected, and within the allotted time.

In Luo Xi's opinion, of all four games, only the Joker's card game posed a real threat to him. The other games were not difficult at all.

After clearing the level, Wei Si would no longer be able to use the scene's mechanisms to create obstacles for him.

The female nurse's appearance looked no different from a normal person, but the contrast between her appearing in this place, between normalcy and weirdness, instead showed a sense of incongruity.

"Please come with me, the doctor is waiting for you." The female nurse said and turned to walk forward.

Luo Xi followed closely behind. Soon, they arrived at the door of the operating room.

The female nurse reached out, asking Luo Xi for the items.

After handing over all four item cards, the female nurse pushed open the door of the operating room.

Inside stood a doctor wearing a white coat.

Also looking normal.

"Congratulations on clearing the operating room. The scene reward is a free transplant surgery. You can designate a 'Job Card' as the transplant, or I can give you one for free if you don't specify." The doctor said with a smile.

He was in his forties, wearing glasses, with some white hair on his head, looking like the kind of doctor whose experience and skills were at their peak.

"Is the free Job Card randomly generated?" Luo Xi needed to confirm this.

The doctor nodded: "Actually, I don't recommend doing that, because no one knows what Job Card you'll randomly get. If it clashes with your attributes, it won't improve you, but will reduce the power of your original Job Card."

Luo Xi nodded. He didn't have many Job Cards in his hand right now.

Besides the [Gourmet] that could be placed directly in the card album, he only had the Number 034 [Magician] he had just obtained from the Joker.

Although [Magician] was not a particularly powerful Job Card, Luo Xi never judged a Job Card by its strength. For him, the one that suited him best was the best.

[Magician] paired with [Mental Patient] wouldn't be bad either.

"I have a designated Job Card!" Luo Xi took out the [Magician] card.

"That's best." The doctor nodded. He told Luo Xi to lie down in the operating room.

"Bear with it, it will hurt a bit." The doctor put on the sterilized surgical gown and held scissors and... if he wasn't mistaken, a saw...

Luo Xi stared at the doctor.

Even he needed to confirm once again whether this doctor was originally a character in the scene, whether he had the aura of Wei Si. If he did, then he would rather not have the reward for clearing this scene than have this surgery.

"By the way, doctor, do you know Wei Si?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.

"Wei Si?" The doctor was stunned.

He clearly didn't understand the question.

After confirming that the other party wasn't lying, Luo Xi said: "Forget it, don't mind the question. I can start the surgery."

Since the other party wasn't lying, there was no possibility that he was influenced by Wei Si.

And the rules of the scene, the reward was part of it, so there was no need to worry that the doctor would break the rules and plot against him.

In short, doing this surgery to increase his Job Card was still very worthwhile.

The doctor was right, the surgery did hurt.

But for Luo Xi, 'pain' was just one of many senses, and as long as it was a sense, he could control and suppress it.

So he accepted the surgery expressionlessly.

"The surgery was very successful." The doctor pretended to wipe his sweat.

Luo Xi got up. He felt the source of the pain was in the palms of his hands.

In the palm of his left hand, there was a strange mark, like the head of a dove, and the eyes could open. With a thought, Luo Xi turned his hand over, and a white dove appeared in his hand, flapping its wings and curiously looking around.

Luo Xi flicked his hand, and the dove flew away and disappeared without a trace.

Just now, he had obtained the dove's vision, seeing himself and the entire room from an almost God's-eye view.

Obviously, this was only part of the dove's abilities.

As for the palm of his right hand, it was a playing card pattern.

Luo Xi grabbed into the void with his right hand and grabbed a playing card.

Throw it away, grab again, and he could continue.

It seemed he could conjure playing cards infinitely.

Of course, this was just a manifestation and characteristic of the [Magician] profession. The true ability of this Job Card was definitely not as simple as conjuring tricks.

But rather, constructing a 'deception'.

But interestingly, Luo Xi's card album had the ability to create [Lies].

It could be said that at this moment, the [Magician] and the original [Lies] ability were completely combined.

Thinking of this, Luo Xi summoned his card album and remade a [Lie].

At this moment, the back of the Lie card had changed color and pattern.

The spider pattern on the back had turned into broken masks, some with eyes open, some with eyes closed, some crying, some laughing...

And the description of [Lie] had also changed, roughly meaning: When the [Magician] constructs a deception, in conjunction with [Lie], it can break through the duration of the lie...

The description was not a definite statement, seemingly with infinite possibilities.

It even gave people a very extreme situation, that is, it could make the [Lie] permanently effective.

This alone was already quite terrifying.

The moment he saw this new [Lie], Luo Xi's expression became very strange. He seemed to have thought of something special, first frowning, then relaxing, and revealing a smile.

"Thank you very much, doctor!" Luo Xi got up and walked out.

He had cleared the level.

After getting the reward, he could leave the scene through the door he originally entered.

But his real purpose for coming here had not yet been achieved.

Cutting off Wei Si's invasion and control of Zhou Di.

This was very important.

Otherwise, the plan to restore Zhou Di as a Recollector would inevitably be hindered.

Now that [Teacher Yan] had been obtained, according to the previous clues, as long as Zhou Di, the 'interface person', activated [Teacher Yan], it would be considered the completion of the Breaking Cocoon Plan.

Although even now, Luo Xi didn't know the real purpose and effect of the Breaking Cocoon Plan, the plan had progressed to this point, and he couldn't give up no matter what, nor was it possible to give up.

From the very beginning when he knocked on Zhou Di's door and started the Awakening Plan, to the later Breaking Cocoon Plan, the duration exceeded five thousand cyclic days.

Calculated, it was close to fourteen years.

He had planned for such a long time, so naturally, it was impossible to give up halfway.

Now was the most critical moment, so no matter how great the cost, he had to push it forward.

At this time, Luo Xi walked to the outside of the men's restroom, in front of the broken mirror.

At this moment, the mirror had a large gap, and the surroundings were full of cracks. Because the angle of refraction had shifted, there were different figures in each crack of the mirror.

"Third, did you find it?" Luo Xi asked the Hungry Ghost in the mirror.

The Third inside nodded.

From the very beginning, when Luo Xi looked in the mirror in the scene, he had already arranged things.

Luo Xi himself focused on clearing the scene. After all, if he couldn't clear the scene, he wouldn't have time to cut off Wei Si's tentacles.

As for exploring the tentacle, he left it to the Third.

Relatively speaking, clearing the scene was easier for Luo Xi, but exploring Wei Si's tentacle was obviously more difficult.

Fortunately, the Third had succeeded.

"I found it, but I can't think of a way to cut off this tentacle. Maybe you can..." The Third's voice had a hint of helplessness.

Luo Xi was a little surprised.

It should be known that the Third was the closest to himself among his many personalities.

It was precisely because of this that they could turn enemies into friends and trust each other.

Soon, Luo Xi opened the door that the Third had mentioned.

Inside was an extremely long corridor.

Luo Xi took out the mirror. The Third inside said: "The entire corridor behind the door is it, so how do you cut it off?"

This was indeed a problem.

If the tentacle was a certain line, a certain person, or just a terrifying and disgusting tentacle in the literal sense, it could be cut off.

But a corridor, how to cut it off?

"Unless you have dynamite," the Third said in the mirror.
