Day of Imprisonment

Liang Qiu spent a cycle day investigating valuable clues in Gugu County.

Although the number and scale of checkpoint scenes here are not as good as Tun Tun City, it is definitely not something he can investigate clearly in a single cycle day.

Liang Qiu himself was aware of this.

Therefore, he chose to inquire about information at the local Gatherer gathering place.

There, there is also an organization similar to the Awakened Association, although it is not large in scale, it has been deeply rooted in the local area for a long time, so it knows many key clues.

First of all, he can now be sure that the fire in his home was indeed caused by a checkpoint scene.

After all, in this artificial and false world of the Day of Confinement, there is no such thing as an 'accident'. All accidental situations here are artificially designed.

Moreover, this news is not a secret at all.

Because this fire involves a very famous checkpoint scene here.

Calamity Game!

Liang Qiu didn't spend much effort to find out the details of the 'Calamity Game'.

The Calamity Game is very special.

The special feature is that this game is related to disasters, including but not limited to fire, gas leaks, car accidents, building collapses...

In Gugu County, all kinds of seemingly accidental disasters in this cycle day can be found in the Calamity Game, and used as game scenes for participation and completion.

Different disasters have different rewards after clearing the level.

After Liang Qiu found out these clues, he participated in the Calamity Game as soon as possible.

Moreover, in the Calamity Game, he also found the fire that killed his wife and children.

At that time, he was very excited, thinking that he could finally save his family, because in his opinion, there is no checkpoint scene that cannot be cleared.

If once doesn't work, then twice, if twice doesn't work, then three times...

However, Liang Qiu ignored one point.

When he really passed the Calamity Game and entered the corresponding disaster site, he realized that what he had to bear was definitely not just the threat brought by the disaster.

There is also the pressure of facing the constant death of family members in the same disaster.

In the first game, he failed without exception, and then watched his wife and children burn to death.

Of course, he himself was also burned to death.

But the pain on his body was far less intense than watching his family die in front of him.

At that moment, Liang Qiu truly realized what despair and fear are.

In the following cycle day, he tried to contact Luo Xi, because that disaster game could not be cleared by brute force, it required some brainpower, but this was exactly what he lacked.

In this regard, the strongest person Liang Qiu could think of was Luo Xi.

After all, he had cleared checkpoint scenes with Luo Xi, and Liang Qiu really admired Luo Xi's ability.

But that cycle day, he didn't contact Luo Xi.

At that time, he didn't know where Luo Xi was. In desperation, he could only ask other veterans for help, but the result still didn't change anything.

The second time he challenged the disaster game, he still failed. Then, he once again watched his wife and children burn to death. At that time, he hugged his family and watched them wail in pain under the flames. That feeling was simply driving Liang Qiu crazy.

He cried.

He really didn't want to endure these anymore, but he couldn't give up, but the problem was obvious.

If he couldn't clear this game, he could only watch his wife and children die tragically in front of him again and again.

Liang Qiu couldn't stand it.

Even an iron heart couldn't bear it.

He could only pin his hopes on Luo Xi.

In Liang Qiu's opinion, only by finding Luo Xi could there be a possibility of clearing this matter.

"So, you are on your way to Gugu County now?" Luo Xi had already gone downstairs at this time.

Since the last time he cleared Tun Tun Bookstore and obtained the [Horadric Cube], Luo Xi had not seen the other party again. This time, Luo Xi hoped to obtain something he wanted from Okra.

On the phone, Liang Qiu said that he could arrive in Gugu County in just over an hour.

Because the starting point after waking up is in Tun Tun City, every cycle day, Liang Qiu has to drive more than 200 kilometers to another place.

"Tell me about the Calamity Game in detail." Luo Xi obviously couldn't go to Gugu County with Liang Qiu. What he could do was to analyze the checkpoint scene through Liang Qiu's description and give the other party some methods to clear the level.

It's a bit difficult, after all, without seeing it with his own eyes and experiencing it personally, some information may be biased.

But there's no way, Luo Xi has more important things to do.

Liang Qiu also understood this.

So he carefully explained the process and rules of the Calamity Game in detail.

"The Calamity Game is different from the checkpoint scenes we encountered in the past." Liang Qiu is not the kind of person who is good at telling stories, he can even be said to be a bit clumsy, so when describing some things, there will be some inconsistencies and even logical contradictions.

Fortunately, Luo Xi can help him sort it out.

"This game can see the records of more than a dozen large and small disasters that happened in Gugu County, just like some kind of game cartridge. The fire in my home is one of them. I chose this Calamity Game, and then, I can pass through a door and directly enter the scene of the crime at that time..."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that you can directly enter the scene of the crime?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"Yes, that's exactly how it is." Liang Qiu's tone was very firm.

"So, you said before that you watched your family die every time... Then, you must have tried to use violence to take your family away from the scene, right?" Luo Xi knows Liang Qiu very well. This guy has the [Giant] professional card. Generally, when doing things, he uses brute force if he can, and he will never use his brain.

If he uses his brain, it must be a last resort.

"I tried, but all the doors and windows in the building were sealed off. Of course, this is not the point. Even the most secure anti-theft door, I can blast open. The point is that the scene has already been sprinkled with gasoline, and those people will immediately cause a fire with just a touch of their finger..."

"Those people?"

"Yes, I feel they are managers or employees in the scene."

The scene had already been arranged.

A small flame will cause it to burn.

The 'those people' in Liang Qiu's mouth cannot be seen, because these people are wearing strange hoods, like those made of linen. In front of the hood, there is a piece of white cloth, and on the white cloth, there is a word 'calamity'.

A treasure cover with a fire underneath.

It's very unlucky, and ordinary people wouldn't put the word 'calamity' on their faces.

These people are very strong. Liang Qiu tried to fight them directly. In a one-on-one fight, Liang Qiu is not afraid. Even if he explodes with all his strength, he has a chance of winning even in a two-on-one fight.

But the problem is that there are more than a dozen of these people. When they attack together, no matter how hard he tries, he is no match.

But these 'calamity people' will not take the initiative to attack.

They will force the Gatherers to participate in their games.

If they win, they will leave immediately and will not cause a disaster. If they lose, sorry, all the Gatherers who participated in the game, including everyone in these two buildings, will be reduced to ashes.

The game is divided into three parts.

One is a ring fight.

One-on-one.

Liang Qiu has no problem with this, he can win.

The problem lies in the other two games.

The second game is threading a needle, threading 100 needles in a given time. To be honest, this challenge that requires focus and dexterity is difficult for Liang Qiu, but after practice, with patience, he can complete it.

The biggest problem lies in the third game.

"The first test is strength and physics, the second is focus and dexterity, the third... is it intelligence?" Luo Xi asked.

"Yes." Liang Qiu sighed.

This is actually very easy to guess. The only challenge that can force Liang Qiu into this state is this type of challenge.

"The other party will ask me three questions. The first two questions are fixed, and the third question is random, but I can't answer any of the questions..." Liang Qiu's tone was full of helplessness.

"Let's talk about the fixed questions first."

"Okay, the first question is, there are 100 people in total, men and women. Men tell the truth and women lie. If you want to ask how many women there are? The first person says 1, the second person says 2... and so on, the hundredth person says 100. So how many women are there?"

A normal person can know this question with a little thought, but to be honest, for Liang Qiu, a guy with a brain full of muscles, it is indeed beyond the syllabus.

Luo Xi probably understood.

This Calamity Game is indeed very cunning. The three challenges are almost selecting a 'perfect person', that is, someone who has both strength and physics, can also focus and be dexterous, and at the same time, has a high IQ.

It is easy to find someone who meets one of the three conditions, but it is not easy to find someone who meets all three at the same time.

No wonder Liang Qiu was forced into this state.

Moreover, Luo Xi can be sure that in the third challenge game, even if the first two fixed questions are difficult, they can be completed with help. The key is the third random question.

Only the specific challenger can hear it and answer it on the spot.

This is the real key.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the third so-called random question can be 'derived', that is, it can be predicted.

But how exactly, it depends on what the first two fixed questions are.

Now Luo Xi already knows the first question.

He can naturally answer it immediately.

"Liang Qiu, this question is very simple. The first person is a woman, she is lying. The second person is the same, and so on... Until the 99th person, he is a man telling the truth, so there are 99 women and 1 man in these 100 people."
