Chapter 3: Day of Imprisonment

Chapter 3: Day of Imprisonment
Lao Gao's body was eventually found.

Earlier than expected.

Someone called the police.

Luo Xi felt a little guilty, after all, he was the one who dragged the body in. Wu Rui, on the other hand, looked as if it had nothing to do with her and was not worried at all.

This woman has a good mental quality.

Luo Xi secretly looked at her and found that this sweet-looking woman was observing other people.

It was not until two policemen, a man and a woman, walked in and department manager Du Lei went to receive them personally, and then the scene became chaotic, that Luo Xi realized something very important.

If all this was just an illusion, then this illusion lasted too long, and too many people had seen Lao Gao's body.

Everyone's reactions are real.

There was nothing incongruous about the reactions of fear, shock, and confusion.

If it is an illusion, you can more or less see some clues.

"Is it really true?"

Luo Xi found that he had begun to believe what he saw in the mirror.

"No!" He rubbed his face: "The me in the mirror is my illusion. How can I believe what he said? Or is it partly an illusion and partly real?"

"This is a difficult question for me. Who knows which one is real and which one is my illusion?"

"Or, let's just keep it simple and treat them all as fake, or treat them all as real."

The men's restroom was cordoned off, with two policemen maintaining order. A pretty female police officer was talking to the company manager Du Lei to understand the situation, while the other two policemen were questioning colleagues present. The scene was relatively normal and orderly.

Luo Xi saw Liu Mao, also known as Brother Mao, who looked normal and was talking to a policeman with great excitement. When he got closer, he could hear "Gao Shengjie is a good person," "He didn't have any conflicts with others," and "I went to the toilet, but I just urinated, and no one noticed it at all."

The current Liu Mao is completely different from the horrible appearance of the zombie who crawled out of the locker.

Looks perfectly normal.

what on earth is it?

Indeed, this matter needs to be clarified.

In order to figure out what was going on, Luo Xi thought of several ways.

Either he could ask Liu Mao to see if he remembered, but that was dangerous. What if he changed again? Or he could suddenly hit himself, and no one could stand it.

Moreover, Luo Xi noticed that Wu Rui had always been deliberately keeping a distance from Liu Mao.

Therefore, Liu Mao is dangerous, and it is best for me to stay away from him.

Then I can only ask Wu Rui.

This was the most reliable method in Luo Xi's opinion. After all, when Lao Gao wanted to kill him, it was Wu Rui who intervened.
But at the end of the day, she killed someone.

But he killed someone to save himself, at least that's what it seemed on the surface.

"Just ask her!"

Luo Xi walked over and dragged Wu Rui to a corner.

Everyone was in a panic right now, and they were all talking in low voices in groups of three or five, so Luo Xi's action did not seem strange.

Leaning against the window, Luo Xi looked around and found that the nearest colleague was four meters away. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "Wu Rui, what's going on?"

Wu Rui narrowed her eyes, seemingly relaxed, but actually observing her surroundings vigilantly: "What do you mean?"

"What do you think?" Luo Xi said anxiously, "Well, Brother Mao suddenly killed people like a ghost. I remember being strangled by the neck, and then suddenly everything returned to normal, as if I had started a new day. I remember the time. It was around 10 o'clock when the incident happened before, and then it went back to 7:41 in the morning. Then I went to the bathroom, and Lao Gao attacked me with a knife, trying to stab me to death. Then, you..."

Luo Xi took a pen and gestured.

Wu Rui looked at him with obvious scrutiny in her eyes. After a long while, she spoke: "Is that all you remember?"

"What do you mean?" Luo Xi was stunned, and then his heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean I only remember this much? Is there anything else?"

Wu Rui didn't say anything, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Luo Xi said anxiously, "If you don't tell me, I will report you."

"Report me? Don't forget who helped me hide the body. Do you think you can get away with it?" Wu Rui sneered with a mocking expression.

After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly moved closer, reaching out her hands to touch Luo Xi's body.

Luo Xi reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?" Luo Xi used force with his fingers, and Wu Rui tried to break free, but to no avail. This was because of the different physiological structures of men and women, which meant that men could basically crush women in terms of strength.

She frowned: "If you want to know the truth, don't move"

"Are you looking for something?"

Luo Xi let go of the other person and began to feel his pockets. Soon he took out a card from the inner pocket of his shirt.

"What is this?" Luo Xi was a little surprised. He remembered that he didn't have this kind of card on him before.

The texture of the card is very special and tough, and it is obviously a high-end product. There is a lifelike spider painted on the back, which is extremely realistic, like a 3D picture, as if it will crawl down the back of your hand from the card in the next moment.

On the front, there is a beautiful illustration of a hand holding a pen and writing.

Under the picture was written: [Ebbinghaus's pen], which can save memories twice. Please remember that the best way to fight forgetfulness is to write down important things, but it is ineffective for patients with severe amnesia. "What is this?" Luo Xi was confused, but he noticed that Wu Rui's face changed after seeing this card, and there was a hint of greed in her eyes.

As for Luo Xi, he was confused.

Now Luo Xi has too many questions in his mind, the weird Brother Mao, the crazy Lao Gao, the same day that suddenly starts over, and Wu Rui in front of him, who looks sweet but kills people without blinking.

She obviously knows a lot.

But she obviously wouldn't tell herself that easily.

"What card is this?" Luo Xi asked again.

Wu Rui sneered and said nothing. It was obvious that she was unwilling to cooperate and would not say anything.

"You seem to really want to get this card." Luo Xi continued to ask, he noticed a flash of thought in the eyes of the woman opposite him.

That's right.

She wants to.

"Let's make a deal." Luo Xi shook the card in his hand: "Tell me everything you know, and in exchange, I'll give you this card."

"Really?" Wu Rui's eyes lit up.

really.

She knows a lot of secrets and cares very much about this card.

This shows that cards are important.

Very important.

But Luo Xi still decided to make this "deal" because intelligence was more important to him at this stage.

This is just like doing a question. Luo Xi is not afraid of difficult questions. No matter how difficult the questions are, he is confident that he can solve them. The problem is that he has to know what the question is. Right now, information is more valuable to him than a card.

"How about changing it?" Luo Xi asked.

"Change, of course." Wu Rui nodded and was about to reach out to take the card, but Luo Xi moved his wrist and the card was hidden in his palm.

"Answer the question first. Brother Mao, who is like an evil ghost, suddenly wants to kill my Lao Gao, and what's going on with you?"

"No, you have to give me the card first. What if I tell you and you don't admit it then?" Wu Rui said coldly, with an extremely firm attitude.

Luo Xi did not argue with the other party about this matter.

He handed the card over, and the latter hurriedly took it, checked it carefully, and carefully put it into her underwear.

Very cautious.

"Go ahead." Luo Xi looked at her.

Wu Rui glanced around and whispered quickly, "This world is fake, and we are all trapped here. In other words, we are trapped in the same day, over and over again."

"???"

Luo Xi's eyes widened. He suspected that the woman in front of him was also a mental patient like himself, but her main symptom was delusion, and it must be a severe one.

"Oh, believe it or not." Wu Rui saw Luo Xi's distrust and sneered: "We call this day the Day of Imprisonment"

"you?"

"Yes, we, the 'Memory Collectors', didn't include you before, but now you are one of us. However, if you can't find the card that saves your memory, you will become an 'Amnesiac' again, just like most people here."

"Amnesiac?"

"I said, this day keeps repeating. Amnesiacs are people who don't remember these things at all. Every day is like a new day for them. Haha, although they don't have any worries, they live in a cage designed by others. They are like zombies, or like someone's toy."

This statement is so absurd that even a mentally ill person wouldn't be able to come up with such an idea.

However, some things that happened before were indeed very strange. If we apply Wu Rui's statement, some of them seem to be explainable.

"So, 'Memory Restorer' is the opposite of amnesiacs, someone who can preserve their memories?" Luo Xi asked back. He is a senior mental patient and is very receptive to this kind of weird idea.

"Almost, but not entirely correct, because our memory is not complete either." Wu Rui looked gloomy, not knowing what she was thinking of.

"Then, what about Brother Mao? And Lao Gao, why do they want to kill me?" Luo Xi felt that Wu Rui knew the reason.

"Brother Mao is very special. He is a 'cleaner' and very dangerous. I advise you to keep your distance from him at all times and never have too much contact with him. As for Lao Gao, he is also a 'recollector', and you must have revealed your identity because of something you said."

Luo Xi suddenly remembered that when he met Gao Shengjie in the morning, he asked him if he remembered Brother Mao in the closet.

I’m afraid it was exposed because of this sentence.

Because according to Wu Rui, except for the 'Memory Recoverer', other amnesiacs would not remember anything about the last day of imprisonment.

"But why did he want to kill me?"

"Because this is the rule of the Day of Imprisonment. The Memory Collectors can fight each other. After killing each other, you can get a 'Memory Card' as a kill reward. The Memory Card can ensure that the memory of the previous day is retained during the next Day of Imprisonment. Don't say that I don't care about friendship. During the Day of Imprisonment, you can't trust anyone, especially other Memory Collectors. Each of them is a murderer. In addition, this is essentially a game of survival. If you can survive until the last moment of the Day of Imprisonment, which is midnight, you can also get a 'Memory Card'. That's all I know."

After saying that, Wu Rui looked at Luo Xi deeply, then turned and left.
