Chapter 4 She Hid a Lot of Information

Chapter 4 She Hid a Lot of Information
Luo Xi couldn't find Wu Rui.

He had clearly seen her go to the women's locker room before, a place that Luo Xi couldn't enter. He waited at the door for a long time but she didn't come out. He asked other female colleagues, but they said there was no one in the locker room at all.

A living person, just disappeared like that?
Damn it.

But today, there are far more strange things than just this one.

Lao Gao's body was taken away, but the police in charge of the investigation were still investigating. This obviously affected the normal operation and work of the company. Manager Du Lei summoned several team leaders and temporarily took the staff to the 24th floor, which is another customer service area.

The company rents the 23rd and 24th floors in this office building.

There were still some empty workstations on the 24th floor, but now they are all occupied.

"Everyone, please stay put for now. Wait until the police have finished their investigation and then return to your original positions. Also, everyone should stay at their posts at this stage. If the police need to understand the situation, everyone must fully cooperate."

Lao Du is still very capable.

As the head of the company, a murder case happened in his own small business, which obviously made this bald, pot-bellied middle-aged man feel pressured.

Since a while ago, sweat has been pouring down Lao Du's forehead.

Everyone was in a panic and said all kinds of things in private, while Luo Xi was observing and thinking about the information provided by Wu Rui.

About the Day of Imprisonment, About the Recollection of Memory
The 'Luo Xi' in the mirror at the workstation was complaining crazily at this moment.

"You idiot, you're mentally retarded. You were fooled by a woman. She must have hidden a lot of things from you. She used that garbage information to exchange the card from you. That card must be very special and valuable. Didn't you see her expression when she took the card? What's the difference between her expression and that of a hungry dog ​​seeing fat meat? In addition, she didn't tell me how many people who have recalled memories are here. I think she did it on purpose. She is setting a trap for you."

"Another point is that she killed Lao Gao not to save you, but to get the memory card reward, because the rule of the Day of Imprisonment is that the memory collectors can get memory card rewards by killing each other. Obviously, the rules encourage killing. Therefore, that woman will definitely kill you, just like she stabbed Lao Gao to death, because this can gain the greatest benefit for her."

Luo Xi rolled his eyes at himself in the mirror.

"Can you please stop talking? You always curse me to death. What good will it do you if I die?"

"It's no good. I just can't stand you, a stupid ass, occupying the toilet without doing anything. I should be the one doing it on this occasion."

"You think you can do it?"

"Nonsense, I'm definitely better than you."

Luo Xi snorted coldly, rubbed his face with his hands, and when he looked at the mirror again, there was already a kind of indifference in his eyes. The sudden change of his expression made the 'Luo Xi' in the mirror realize something, and he immediately shut up.

"Ha, if you're better than me, then it's not you two in the mirror and I'm outside."

After saying that, Luo Xi stared at himself in the mirror with a hint of mockery on his face.

In the mirror, behind that 'Luo Xi', there are several similar shadows ready to move with bad intentions.

Luo Xi's cold eyes made the other party and the shadow behind him retreat again and again.

He didn't take any medicine, and there was no medicine to take, so the mirror and some other hallucinations were unavoidable, but for Luo Xi, this was not something unacceptable. On the contrary, he had long been accustomed to it.

The doctor said that one of his symptoms was severe schizophrenia, which means he had multiple personalities, like the uneducated, shit-mouthed guy in the mirror.

In fact, there is more than one personality in the mirror.

Luo Xi knew very well that he was still himself, and the reason why he was still himself was because he was the winner among many personalities.

Only winners will not stay in the mirror, helpless and furious, or hide in the dark, living like a rat.

"You think I don't know those things?"

Luo Xi seemed to be talking to himself.

"Of course Wu Rui is hiding something. She is very smart and very cautious. Assuming that the few pieces of information she has revealed are true, there are only two urgent things for me right now. One is to find out all the information about the so-called Day of Imprisonment as soon as possible, including the rules here, the number of people who have recovered memories, and the existence of cleaners. What does that mean? Why did she use the word "dangerous" to explain it specifically? The other thing is to at least get a "memory card", because if the existence of the Day of Imprisonment is real, then without a memory card, I will not be able to save my memory this time. Once I become an amnesiac, I will not remember anything before. At that time, I will become a "toy" just like Wu Rui said. But why did she use the word "toy"? What is the special meaning?"

Luo Xi actually smiled at this time. The 'he' in the mirror wanted to say something, but held back.

"Wu Rui is a smart person. She hid because she was afraid that I would attack her and take back the card. Of course, there could be other reasons. Actually, she was right. If anyone in my position believed what she said, the first person to deal with would be her. There are currently three people who know how to recover memories. She, me, and Lao Gao have all been killed by her. Therefore, she already has at least one 'memory card' in her hand. If I kill her, conservatively speaking, I can get two memory cards. Adding my card, it is equivalent to two memory cards. It is a crime to possess a treasure."

"But, does she really think she can keep hiding forever?"

Luo Xi checked the time on the computer. It was 9:17 in the morning.

Less than forty minutes had passed since Lao Gao’s body was discovered.

"If all this is assumed to be true, then the last time we were imprisoned, Brother Mao turned into a monster at 10 o'clock, uh, it should be a little after 10 o'clock. Will the time be different this time? If it is still the same time, Wu Rui's hiding is a clever move. She avoided both me and Brother Mao."

"She shouldn't have concealed anything, because the rule of the deal is to tell all the information you know. From this point of view, she violated the contract first. Therefore, it is urgent to find her and ask her for all the information she knows."

At this moment, Luo Xi's cell phone vibrated.

Because of the requirements of the work site, it must be in vibration mode.

I picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number, but it was labeled 'Express Meal Delivery'. I answered it.

"Hey, I have medicine for you. I'm at the elevator entrance on the 23rd floor. You're not allowed in. The police have sealed it off."

"Sorry, please take me to the 24th floor. I'll meet you at the elevator entrance."

Luo Xi knew that this was the courier arranged by his mother to deliver the medicine.

The last time the other party sent the medicine was also at this time.

When walking out, he passed a corridor with glass rooms on both sides. The smooth and clean glass reflected Luo Xi's figure.

His shadow walked with him and whispered, "There's a question. Haven't you thought about it?"

"If you have something to say, just fart!" Luo Xi said coldly.

"If the day of confinement exists, then there is actually no yesterday, no tomorrow, only today, so my mother..."

"Shut the fuck up, these two things are unrelated. At least, at present, there is no connection. Any theory that seems to be cyclical and infinite actually has a starting point. Where there is a starting point, there are things that happened before. So, what do you want to say?"

"No, I'm just reminding you. You know, I won't say anything." The blurry shadow on the glass returned to normal at this time.

Luo Xi also walked to the door, pressed the access switch, pushed the door open and walked out.

Outside was the fire escape, connected to the fire stairs and the elevator. A delivery boy was waiting there carrying a small plastic bag.

"It's mine." Luo Xi pointed at the plastic bag in the other person's hand, and the tanned young man handed the things over: "Here you go, that's all, that's it."

"Thanks!"

“Don’t forget to give good reviews!”

"must!"

After returning to the office, Luo Xi called his mother and told her that he had received the medicine and asked her not to worry.

"That's fine. Remember to take your medicine."

"Don't worry, Mom!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xi looked at the bottle full of pills, was silent for a while, thought about it, and finally screwed the lid on and put it in his pocket.

I won’t take the medicine for now.

Luo Xi thought that perhaps all of this, including those strange things and the days of confinement, were just his fantasies when he was ill.

But to be honest, I am in very good condition now.

My brain has never been clearer, and my thinking is quicker. If I take the medicine, I'll wait and see. If I'm sure that all this is fake and I'm just imagining it, then it won't be too late to take the medicine then. If not, then taking the medicine is equivalent to killing the possibility of revealing the truth.

Some things you have to try first.

For Luo Xi, ten o'clock is a turning point.

He had to find the hidden Wu Rui before that and dig out what she knew.

The office area on the twenty-fourth floor is similar to that on the twenty-third floor. There are nearly a hundred partitions for answering calls, which are basically all occupied at the moment. There are a lot of people, some of whom are very familiar. So who among these people is the "Recollector"?
Everyone looks normal.

Luo Xi sat at his workstation. He took care of two clients, then temporarily signed out of the system and whispered to himself in the mirror, "According to Wu Rui, people who have recovered their memories can kill each other, and the killer will be rewarded with a memory card. The result of this rule is that once the identity of a person who has recovered his memories is exposed, that person will be in great danger. Lao Gao may just be the first person to die today."

"You're right, it's obvious." The 'Luo Xi' in the mirror seemed to have noticed some changes in the person outside the mirror, so he didn't dare to mock him and became much more polite.

"In fact, if you think about many things for a while, you can figure out the answers. Wu Rui may not have said much, but in fact, we can get much more information than she said."

"Oh? For example."

"For example, I roughly understand the purpose of cleaners' existence."

"What do you mean?"

"The last information Wu Rui provided was that this was essentially a game of survival. If you could survive until the last moment of the imprisonment, which was midnight, you could get a 'memory card' regardless of whether you have regained your memory or lost it. If it were that simple, everyone here should be a person who has regained their memory. But the actual situation is exactly the opposite. The number of people who have regained their memory should be very small, at least much smaller than the total number of people here."

"Fuck!" Luo Xi in the mirror immediately figured it out.

"Yes, the purpose of the cleaner's existence is to kill everyone here before midnight, or to make sure that no one gets a memory card reward for surviving past midnight, no matter if they are people who have regained their memory or people who have lost their memory, because the purpose of doing so is to ensure that a memory card is consumed by people who have regained their memory, while people who have lost their memory will still be people who have lost their memory. That's why Wu Rui said that Brother Mao is very dangerous, and she must have seen or even experienced the scene of corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river."

Luo Xi in the mirror was silent for a moment, then asked an irrelevant question: "Um, aren't you taking your medicine anymore?"

"No, since this is a game, there must be a way to play it. If there is a way to play it, there must be a setting for 'clearing the game'. If I take the medicine, it will be difficult for me to clear the game!"
