Day of Imprisonment

Some things are easier to destroy from the outside than from within.

Especially a passage made of reinforced concrete.

It's harder to destroy than a literal 'tentacle'.

Lao San is right; to cut off this 'tentacle' in front of us, we can only use explosives.

But we don't have any.

"Also, the other side won't just sit and wait for death; they might arrange something to invade through this passage, which would be even more troublesome," Lao San warned.

Indeed, that possibility can't be ruled out.

In fact, Wei Si's previous alterations to the scene, as well as the succubus, clown, and ghost, all came through this passage.

"Perhaps we could retreat and try to temporarily seal off this passage," Lao San suggested.

But Luo Xi rejected it directly.

The reason is simple: sealing the passage is meaningless. As long as this 'tentacle' exists, Zhou Di won't be safe.

"Then I'm out of ideas," Lao San said, retreating into the shadows deep within the mirror.

Luo Xi didn't press him.

Finding the location of this tentacle was already difficult for Lao San. He knew that most of his personalities were useless, and only a few were truly reliable. Fortunately, Lao San was one of them.

Luo Xi looked at the seemingly endless passage in front of him.

Vaguely, he felt the passage swaying, even twisting like intestines. He could also hear many strange sounds.

Like echoes within the body of some giant monster in the void.

Luo Xi watched.

In short, crossing the passage was definitely out of the question; the risk was too great, and it was almost certainly a trap.

However, not crossing it didn't mean not exploring it.

Especially since Luo Xi now had a means of exploration.

He flipped his left hand, and a white pigeon appeared with a cooing sound.

Instantly, Luo Xi gained the pigeon's perspective.

From this perspective, he could see himself.

He flicked his wrist, and the pigeon flapped its wings, flying towards the passage. Soon, it disappeared into the distance.

But in Luo Xi's vision, he *was* the pigeon.

The pigeon kept flying forward, at least several hundred meters, but the corridor seemed endless, with no end in sight.

Luo Xi didn't just wait. He had to find a way to destroy this passage.

"Lao San is right; to destroy this place, we can only use explosives."

After feeling the texture of the surrounding walls, Luo Xi retreated.

He closed the door and, while watching the pigeon's perspective, walked towards the toilet.

Speaking of which, this scene really had experienced an 'explosion' once.

A human body explosion.

It was the previous 'doctor'.

Luo Xi first checked the men's toilet.

It was severely damaged. Some walls had collapsed, and the floor had been blasted into a pit, at least a foot deep. However, because the men's toilet wasn't small, the room's structure hadn't completely collapsed.

Of course, it was also possible that there were some protective mechanisms within the scene, such as the room not actually collapsing and disappearing no matter how strong the explosion was.

However, Luo Xi was certain that the passage Wei Si invaded through wasn't part of the scene.

Therefore, it wouldn't be protected by the scene's rules.

At this moment, there were no body parts or flesh to be found in the men's toilet.

In other words, the monster doctor who 'self-destructed' here was the doctor from the scene, and some physical characteristics confirmed this.

Such as hair color.

The truth was that Wei Si had indeed used some means to modify the original scene's 'doctor'. This self-destruct attribute was a means of attacking himself, but not the only means. After the doctor self-destructed and he had collected the four key props, the scene's rules directly resurrected the self-destructed doctor, restoring him to his original appearance, and giving him a surgical reward.

That was the actual process.

But if that was the case, the current 'doctor' must still retain the 'self-destruct' attribute.

This thing could only be deleted after the scene was reset and updated.

So even if Wei Si wanted to eliminate this loophole, he couldn't do it now.

This was a flaw left by Wei Si, and it was also an opportunity for Luo Xi.

So, Luo Xi found the doctor again.

However, just as he found the doctor, the pigeon's perspective made a terrifying discovery.

On the other side of the passage, more than tens of kilometers away, something was coming.

Very fast.

And it instantly killed the pigeon Luo Xi sent out.

The pigeon didn't even see what it was.

"Is the moment of truth here?"

Luo Xi knew that things had reached a critical point.

Wei Si also needed time to invade and control Zhou Di, and building that passage was definitely not a one-day job.

Perhaps it had taken thousands of loop days.

Clearly, Wei Si was also a master of planning and strategy, and he was heading straight for Luo Xi's vital point, which was Zhou Di.

Because Wei Si knew very well that as long as he completely controlled or killed Zhou Di, then no matter what Luo Xi did, it would be useless.

Fortunately, Luo Xi had discovered Zhou Di, and Zhou Di himself had never truly sided with Wei Si, but had been pretending to betray him, successfully delaying time.

Now was the moment of the decisive battle.

After passing the level, the doctor seemed to have nothing to do and stayed in the operating room. When Luo Xi found him, the doctor looked puzzled.

Luo Xi didn't have time to explain. He rushed over and grabbed the doctor's hand.

Before this, he had never had any physical contact with the doctor.

This was the first time.

And after touching the doctor, Luo Xi saw what he wanted.

No. 096 [Doctor] [Flesh Bomb], this is a card distorted by some evil force. Under certain conditions, he will explode - be careful to be blown to death!

Indeed!

Wei Si had modified the doctor in some way.

This was just one of Wei Si's many methods and designs, but he would never have imagined that this [Flesh Bomb], originally intended for himself, would ultimately become the key to breaking the game.

"What are you doing?" the doctor asked at this time, his expression very serious, even angry.

But at this time, how could Luo Xi care about the other party's thoughts?

He first tried to turn the doctor into a card using the card transformation method.

But he failed.

The doctor's current state cannot be carded.

Luo Xi could only settle for the next best thing, using force to lift the doctor onto his shoulders and sprint towards the passage.

The [Flesh Bomb] on the doctor's body would self-destruct under certain conditions. Luo Xi didn't know what the specific conditions were, but it was always right to take the doctor over there sooner rather than later.

Ahead, blood was gathering. It was the female ghost who kept the [Surgery Order].

Obviously, Wei Si had sensed the danger and was starting to control these characters to stop Luo Xi.

But how could Luo Xi be afraid of a mere female ghost without the blessing of the scene rules?

"Luo Xi, let's talk," the female ghost said in Wei Si's voice.

But Luo Xi's response was a [Exorcism] card.

"Get out!"

The card was activated with the blessing of two [Mana] cards, releasing a dazzling white light. Vaguely, there was a murmur of a god. The female ghost screamed and collapsed directly. Luo Xi took the opportunity to cross over, turned again, ran a dozen meters, reached the entrance of the passage, opened the door, and rushed in.

Rapid sprinting was extremely exhausting, but fortunately, Luo Xi now had the blessing of three career cards, and his physique had completely reached the standard of an elite C-level.

"Sorry, Doctor!"

Luo Xi put the doctor down.

As a result, he found that the doctor's expression was now ferocious, as if he was on the verge of losing control.

Luo Xi didn't know the conditions for triggering the [Flesh Bomb], but he could suspect them one by one and try them one by one.

"The previous doctor triggered the self-destruction in a monster state, looking completely irrational. In other words, suppressing reason is the first step in self-destruction."

Luo Xi didn't know if this guess was correct.

But like his previous thoughts.

Continuously trying various possibilities, each time the probability of activating the flesh bomb would increase.

Luo Xi inflicted some mental illnesses on the doctor, and the reason in the doctor's eyes was like a candle in a storm, only lasting a few seconds before it went out.

The doctor's body began to swell, accompanied by crazy roars and attacks.

Luo Xi endured this attack, but he smiled.

The taste was right.

Before the doctor in the men's toilet self-destructed, he had emitted some very strange smells.

Like a mixture of fermented taste, and a bit like marsh gas.

Very smelly.

But not enough, further probing was needed.

Luo Xi had to make the doctor explode in this position, only in this way could he completely cut off Wei Si's tentacles.

The current doctor had completely turned into a monster, and the smell of marsh gas in the passage was getting stronger and stronger.

The doctor's body had undergone tremendous changes from just now, and those tiny, honeycomb-like holes had reappeared on his body, each one like an exhaust vent, spewing out marsh gas.

Luo Xi suddenly realized.

Perhaps, there was no need to wait for the doctor to self-destruct. At the current concentration of marsh gas, a spark could directly ignite it.

And he had sparks.

Thinking of this, Luo Xi immediately retreated, and at the same time took out a card.

[Scorch].

Requires two [Mana] to activate.

However, before Luo Xi could activate the card, a very small flame suddenly appeared on the doctor's body.

The next moment, the marsh gas, which was already at an extremely high concentration in the passage, was instantly ignited. Luo Xi only heard a deafening roar before falling into darkness.
