Day of Imprisonment
#418 - The moment of truth
Facing the accusation from the cleaver-wielding man, a fierce look flashed across Han Lingling's fleshy face.
"Shen Jiang, what right do you have to talk about me? Luo Xi is someone that Division Four wants to deal with. You should have heard his name. He's not an ordinary Memory Gatherer. If he were that easy to deal with, Division Four wouldn't have arranged for us to act together."
It was clear that Han Lingling was still very restrained.
This wasn't the first time she had dealt with Luo Xi.
Several loop days ago, she had encountered Luo Xi in the Tun Tun Bookstore checkpoint scene. That time, she recognized Luo Xi. As a Memory Gatherer who had survived in the Eternal Assembly for a long time, she retained memories from a long time ago.
Naturally, she had also heard of the name Luo Xi.
The once most powerful Memory Gatherer.
It's just that the last time in Tun Tun Bookstore, she failed and was forcibly killed by another, even stronger, close-combat expert Memory Gatherer.
After that, she lost track of Luo Xi.
The city was very big, and finding a Memory Gatherer was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
But this time, she received an order from Division Four.
This order could be considered long overdue.
She was a 'sleeper' for 'Division Four'.
Not everyone in the Eternal Assembly is a madman. Some people just think that the 'Day of Confinement' might be more suitable for them, in line with their values, because it gives them true 'eternal life'.
As long as the Day of Confinement is regarded as a game, as long as they can constantly acquire [Memories], then even a constantly repeating day can be seen by Memory Gatherers as a long corridor of time.
[Memories] are their passes to walk on this corridor.
As for those truly extreme and paranoid madmen in the Eternal Assembly, they are another branch.
They believe that the Day of Confinement is the masterpiece of a 'God'.
To gain greater power and authority, they must believe in this God.
Thus, this 'God' who gave them infinite life naturally became their faith, their spiritual totem.
They just don't know that in fact, some beings have stolen the identity of this 'God' and are using this identity to achieve their goals.
These Memory Gatherers who believe in 'God' call themselves the 'Eternal God Sect'. Although they are also members of the Eternal Assembly, they are more like an independent organization and force.
Ideological extremism and extreme behavior have become their labels.
It's just that even they themselves don't know that the 'God' in their hearts is not omnipotent. There was even a time when Luo Xi cut off his 'tentacles' several times in a row, causing him to lose contact with the entire Day of Confinement.
Otherwise, Luo Xi would have been relentlessly pursued by these madmen of the 'Eternal God Sect', and there would have been no time to plan and strategize.
And this time, those madmen within the Eternal God Sect almost all experienced a 'phantom realm' that they considered a miracle before the start of the same loop day.
Their 'God' once again established contact with them.
Contact in terms of spirit and soul.
The 'God' told them all to kill Luo Xi at all costs, starting from the next loop day.
It would be best to sever his memories. If they couldn't do that, they should keep killing him, again and again.
Regarding Luo Xi, this 'ancient level' Memory Gatherer, some people in the Eternal God Sect had heard of him, even seen him, while others were hearing about him for the first time.
But this did not prevent them from following the will of 'God'.
Especially since Luo Xi had been shaped into a 'demon' who destroys the Land of Confinement and eternal life.
In short, killing Luo Xi was a righteous and sacred thing that had to be carried out no matter the cost.
In addition, their 'God' also informed them of some clues to find Luo Xi, and that some of Luo Xi's henchmen also needed to be eliminated.
So from this loop day onwards, what seemed like calm on the surface was actually a turbulent undercurrent.
Luo Xi was currently hiding in a room on the second floor.
There was no one in this room. As for the door lock, Luo Xi had already pried it open.
How could someone like him ignore the exploration and layout of the living environment?
Even if this arrangement ultimately didn't come in handy, it was still better than not being prepared when needed.
The missed calls from Xu Lin earlier indicated that she was likely in an accident.
But this was originally a trap deliberately set by Luo Xi.
He specifically met Xu Lin at his residence to lure the snake out of its hole. Because of Division Four's failure in the previous loop day, Luo Xi believed that the other party would definitely arrange other backup plans.
So, instead of passively waiting for the attack, it would be better to find a way to lure the other party out.
In this way, the two sides could openly fight each other and also cut off Division Four's sleeper agents and henchmen along the way.
Luo Xi was certain that Division Four also knew that he now held the key to changing the occupation.
One was [Teacher Yan], and the other was Zhou Di.
Luo Xi had already cut off Division Four's henchmen who invaded Zhou Di's side in the previous loop day; as for [Teacher Yan], Luo Xi had used unimaginable planning and effort to protect her and successfully retrieve her.
It can be said that now is the moment for a general offensive, a bayonet-to-bayonet fight, so neither side will give up.
What they are comparing now is whose fist is harder and whose methods are stronger.
Division Four wants to delay time, and Luo Xi is actually the same.
Han Lingling and the person named Shen Jiang on the first floor were arguing in low voices.
Obviously, these two people were not on good terms.
Luo Xi didn't understand Shen Jiang, but he had seen Han Lingling.
Last time at Tun Tun Bookstore, he saw through the other party's intentions and, before Han Lingling could attack him, used Aunt Qin's hand to kill her.
And Han Lingling was a member of the Eternal Assembly, which meant that Division Four's tentacles had also invaded the Eternal Assembly.
This was not surprising.
Because in Luo Xi's plan, the 'Eternal Assembly' was likely to be the most powerful blade. Whether the person who wanted to create the Eternal Assembly was himself or Division Four, both sides had already inserted their 'sleeper agents' into the Eternal Assembly's interior.
The past thousands of loop days have been spent planning, and now is the moment to compete and fight head-on.
Another reason why Luo Xi chose to directly overturn the table and fight openly was that he discovered that he no longer had time to actively investigate the whereabouts of Lu Ting.
Division Four's invasion of the Land of Confinement through the interface of Zhou Ya obviously seized the initiative advantage, leading to his side being at a disadvantage in many things afterward.
Now, he doesn't have a sharp enough 'knife' in his hand. Although he has Mao Ge's [Resentful Qi Soaring to the Sky], the berserker Kuang Shi, Lin Qiqi, and a portion of the Awakened Association's Memory Gatherers controlled by An Zhiyan, these are obviously not enough.
These forces are still too fragile compared to those true madmen of the Eternal Assembly.
Luo Xi needs a sharper knife.
And Lu Ting is very likely the knife he left behind. If so, then it's better to stir up the situation and overturn the table. As long as the commotion is big enough, as long as this knife of Lu Ting is still there, then she can't possibly not notice it.
As long as she notices it, this knife will definitely be unsheathed, showing its cold light and sharpness.
