Chapter 12 The Second Killing Time
Chapter 12 The Second Killing Time
"Luo Xi, are you okay?"
In the blackened men's locker room, Liu Mao looked at Luo Xi as if he were a madman.
"I'm fine, Brother Mao. Did you understand what I just said? If you didn't, I'll say it to you again." Luo Xi was very patient.
"Fuck, I don't understand a damn thing about you. What nonsense are you talking about? What memory collector, what day of confinement? It's already this time and you still have the mind to make jokes." Liu Mao had a look of disappointment on his face, but at this moment, he seemed to hear some sound and looked towards the door with some surprise.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xi asked.
"Nothing." Liu Mao shook his head in confusion.
At this time, Luo Xi also noticed some unusual situations.
He looked out the window.
I don't know when, the sun was shining brightly with blue sky and white clouds, but the sky seemed to change its "face" in the blink of an eye, becoming dim and covered with dark clouds. This is not the most important thing. Although they are on the 24th floor, under normal circumstances, they can still hear the noisy sounds from the outside after opening the windows.
But at this moment, it was as if all of a sudden, there was no sound.
Outside, there was no sound at all.
It was eerily quiet.
This was obviously abnormal, and Luo Xi remembered that similar situations had happened before.
It was the last time when Brother Mao turned into a ghost and started the killing time. Everyone was terrified at that time, and only Luo Xi noticed the abnormal changes outside the window. It was obvious that this "change" of isolating the outside world appeared at the same time as the killing time.
After discovering this, Luo Xi's expression immediately became very interesting.
There was also a little bit of surprise.
Some of it was expected.
"What happened?" Guo Zening obviously noticed something was wrong. He looked at Luo Xi, and the latter seemed to have noticed something and reached out to take out a card from his pocket.
The same Spider card back, with a glowing 'brain' on the front.
The text below reads: [Memory Card]. This card allows you to save a memory after death. Memory is the most precious treasure in life, carrying our past, present and future.
Luo Xi just took a look at it and put the card away.
"I see!"
He muttered something, and the card suddenly appeared in his pocket. It was obvious that this was not a stroke of luck, but a "reward" within the rules.
It is known that there are two ways to obtain memory cards.
One is to survive until midnight and enter the next day of confinement; the other is to kill other memory collectors and get a memory card as a reward.
Luo Xi's situation is obviously the second one.
"Feng Kai is dead!"
that means
"Guo Zening, lock the door!"
Luo Xi said immediately.
Because Guo Zening was afraid of Liu Mao, he stood at the door and packed his things. He was closest to the door.
After hearing Luo Xi's words, although he was not quite clear about what had happened, Guo Zening acted quickly and immediately locked the door of the men's locker room.
Then, I saw Luo Xi making a move to keep quiet.
Even though he didn't know what was going on, it didn't affect Guo Zening's fear and nervousness at all.
What is there to say?
The unknown is the scariest thing.
"What are you two doing?"
The silent environment was broken by Liu Mao's voice.
Just after he spoke, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door. The footsteps made people's hearts beat wildly, and even their heartbeats seemed to speed up.
The footsteps suddenly sounded and then stopped suddenly.
But everyone knew that there was someone outside the locker room at that moment.
From the shadow of the gap under the door, it can be seen that there is a person standing outside the door at this moment, but the other party did not speak or knock on the door. It seems that he is just standing outside.
Guo Zening was like a sculpture at this moment, not daring to move behind the door, his eyes were always looking at Luo Xi, asking for help.
Luo Xi made a hand gesture to keep still and was about to comfort Brother Mao next to him, but the latter walked directly to the door and asked, "Who's outside?"
Just when Luo Xi was saying "Oh no" in his heart, the person outside the door actually left quickly after hearing Liu Mao's voice.
The sound of hurried footsteps spread far away.
I could also hear something being broken outside, it made a huge mess.
Liu Mao opened the door directly and looked out. He saw a series of bloody footprints on the ground at the door. They were disorganized, as if someone with blood on his shoes had danced street dance outside for half an hour.
We can see that many workstation partitions were smashed to pieces, and some computers were also damaged.
The sound I just heard was the sound of someone breaking these things.
"Who the hell did this?" Liu Mao was furious when he saw the situation outside. He was about to chase after them, but Luo Xi stepped forward and pulled him back.
"Brother Mao, don't get excited, just listen to me."
"What do you want to say? Luo Xi, there is something wrong with you. I felt that there was something wrong with you from the beginning. What's going on? Do you know something?" Liu Mao looked serious.
"Brother Mao, didn't I just tell you this?"
"The Day of Imprisonment? The Recollector of Memory? And what the hell is that cleaning lady?"
"Yes, if I guessed correctly, it was the cleaner who came, but I didn't expect that he was scared away. Is it because it is not authentic, so some memories remain? Or is it that pirated products are naturally afraid of authentic products? Or is it another kind of rule restriction that makes it impossible to attack?" The last sentence was Luo Xi muttered to himself, and no one could hear it except himself.
Liu Mao was obviously in shock, he couldn't quite believe it, but the current situation was indeed very strange and unbelievable.
Guo Zening was also in shock and fear.
He was like a headless fly: "Luo Xi, was that a cleaner just now? But isn't Brother Mao right here?"
Luo Xi knew what he was going to ask.
"That's Feng Kai."
"Feng Kai? How could it be him?"
"Don't ask anymore. It can't be explained in just a few words. Let's go, let's leave here first." Luo Xi pulled Liu Mao out.
"where to?"
"The women's room."
After Luo Xi and the other three walked into the women's restroom, they saw Wu Rui hugging Zhang Yanan to comfort her. The latter had obviously been crying, her eyes were swollen, and her whole body was shaking.
There were also bloody footprints on the floor of the women's restroom.
There are even some on the ceiling.
There was a partition that emitted a strange smell, and the smell of blood was even stronger.
"Wu Rui?" Liu Mao and Guo Zening were both surprised.
Because I haven't seen her since just now, where did she come from?
Compared to their reactions, Wu Rui's reaction at this moment was more exaggerated. She was like a frightened cat, as if all the hair on her body exploded. Swish, she took out a dagger from somewhere, stared at Liu Mao with her eyes, in a fighting posture, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was timid inside and her calves began to tremble.
"Luo Xi, have you known Feng Kai for a long time?" Zhang Yanan stood up and asked. She had already experienced the most terrifying scene, and now she was beginning to slowly adapt to it.
At least my legs aren't as weak as they were at the beginning.
"Of course I know, but Feng Kai is just a possibility. Before, I was just guessing and not sure." Luo Xi told the truth.
"Then why are you leaving me here alone?" Zhang Yanan stared at him with a questioning look. She has a good temper, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper.
"If I stayed, I would be dead. You have the [Diplomat], so only you can stay. So, has the card been used?" Luo Xi asked.
"You, you bastard."
Zhang Yanan was so angry that she didn't want to talk.
"How did Feng Kai change? Did he say anything?" Luo Xi asked at this time.
Although he was in a very bad mood, Zhang Yanan still spoke: "At first there was no movement, and then Feng Kai suddenly opened the door and walked out. At that time, there was blood under his feet, but his skin was bloodless, just like the corpses in the funeral home. I have relatives who have passed away, and I have seen that kind of skin. I am sure he was dead at the time. But he was still able to move, and his two eyes were bleeding. He even bit off his wrist and used the bone as a knife."
"He did speak. He started by saying, 'Where's my knife?'" Zhang Yanan looked at Luo Xi at this time: "I remember that you took a folding knife from his pocket before."
"What else?" Luo Xi took out the folding knife.
"Also, he said, 'Kill people. Kill them all? OK, OK, I'll listen to you. I'll go and kill them right away.'" Zhang Yanan tried his best to imitate Feng Kai's tone of voice at that time.
"Did he really say that?" Luo Xi asked.
"Correct."
"Did you say anything else?"
"Gone!"
Luo Xi nodded: "Yanan, thank you very much this time."
Zhang Yanan's anger had subsided a lot at this time. In fact, she did not blame Luo Xi. On the contrary, she had developed a kind of "dependence" on Luo Xi. It was just because the experience was too terrifying for her and she had to vent.
The reasons are complicated. In addition to the other party's strength, it is more of a control over the situation. In short, it gives people a feeling of "trustworthiness".
To put it more bluntly, if you follow Luo Xi, you may be able to survive.
Zhang Yanan knew that this was the herd effect. The flock was originally scattered, but when a leader appeared, the flock would follow the leader. Now, they really needed Luo Xi as a leader.
There is another reason for building this trust.
Luo Xi accurately predicted Feng Kai's transformation into a ghost and the sudden appearance of 'Wu Rui'.
a few minutes ago
Just as Zhang Yanan was watching Feng Kai, who had turned into a ghost, trying to stab her with his bloody broken arm bone, she raised the card, and the next second, the card popped and turned into a cloud of smoke.
After that, Feng Kaizhen did not hurt her, but turned and left.
Less than two minutes after the other party left, the partition door on one side opened and Wu Rui walked out.
But Zhang Yanan remembered it very clearly. When she came in before, she and Luo Xi looked at the women's restroom. There was no one in it and all the partitions were empty.
So, how did Wu Rui come out? Where did she come out from? Most importantly, how did Luo Xi know that she would come out here?
Zhang Yanan had no idea the answer, and she had no idea what was going on. Her mind was completely blank.
But she understood that everything Luo Xi said had come true.
So Luo Xi must know the answer.
From the very beginning, Luo Xi seemed to be ahead of everyone. Even Manager Du and Feng Kai, the two "veterans", did not have the slightest advantage over Luo Xi.
So, after seeing Wu Rui, Zhang Yanan pulled her aside and told her everything that had happened before, according to Luo Xi's instructions.
Just as he finished speaking, Luo Xi and the others came in.
For Zhang Yanan, after what happened before, she would not be too surprised by anything that happened next time. For example, she also saw Liu Mao. She was also afraid. After all, the last time Mao Ge turned into a ghost, she was shocked too much. But as long as Luo Xi was present, she would feel inexplicably at ease.
The other person's existence was like a reassurance to her.
In addition to these, what really made Zhang Yanan trust and rely on Luo Xi was that the other party did not take away her [Diplomat] card.
Without this card, she would have died.
