Chapter 14: The Broken Cycle
Chapter 14: The Broken Cycle
Luo Xi ignored the stunned Liu Mao and continued to talk about his theory. In fact, he was a little bit showing off, just like the mentality of finishing a difficult soul-like game and can't wait to show off to his friends.
"Cleaner, scene reset and memory card, these are the three legs that support the imprisoned day. I don't know how the scene is reset and how to return to the way it was when I went to work in the morning. The memory card is the key to retaining memory. The above two points cannot be broken, especially the memory card. If you don't have it, you will still fall into the imprisoned day, and you will never be able to turn over, that is, you will become an amnesiac."
"Then, the only person who might have changed is Brother Mao, the cleaner, so he is the focus of my observation from the beginning."
Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Mao at this moment, making the latter feel a little embarrassed.
"Brother Mao doesn't know that he is a cleaner, and he has never saved any memory." Luo Xi's words surprised Wu Rui. She had always thought that cleaners, like memory collectors, could save the memory of every day of confinement.
"Wait a minute, that's not right. You're not right." Wu Rui said at this time: "If Brother Mao doesn't know that he is a cleaner, then how does the killing time start every time?"
"That's because someone set up a mechanism." Luo Xi took out a medicine bottle from his pocket.
"My stomach medicine?" Liu Mao said at this time.
"This is not stomach medicine, but poison that turns people into cleaners." Luo Xi's words made everyone's heart skip a beat. Then, Guo Zening over there seemed to realize something and glanced at the partition where Feng Kai had been placed before. Then, his hair stood up and his scalp went numb.
He realized that Feng Kai was secretly fed drugs by Luo Xi.
At this moment, there seemed to be movement outside the door, and footsteps came closer and closer.
"he came!"
Luo Xi spoke faster at this time: "Time is running out, listen carefully, I just said that clearing the level is the best result, but unfortunately, the probability of other situations is higher. For example, we will find that we are still trapped in this day of confinement. At that time, I need you to find me as soon as possible. Remember, it is impossible to escape by relying on personal strength alone, but I can take you out; there is also a possibility that we will escape from this scene, but will fall into another day of confinement. If this is the case, contact me as soon as possible, by phone, email or any other means."
Boom.
Something outside started banging on the door. In just one hit, the door panel cracked, and a bloody bone spur stretched out from the broken door hole, accompanied by an extremely strong smell of blood.
"Kill, haha, kill them all."
Feng Kai's voice was filled with madness.
The people in the women's restroom retreated in fear. Luo Xi then calmly walked up to Wu Rui, took out a memory card, and handed it over together with the other party's "hiding place behind the door".
The latter was surprised and happy, looking at Luo Xi with confusion in his eyes.
"Remember what I just said, if you want to escape, you can only rely on me."
Snapped!
The door was completely destroyed, and Feng Kai, like a ghost, rushed in at an incredible speed.
Luo Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
The process of being killed by Feng Kai was scary and painful, which made his head a little dizzy. Then Luo Xi looked around with surprise in his eyes.
It was not the cramped workstation in the company, but a bedroom.
His bedroom.
At this moment, Luo Xi was lying on the bed. He reached out and picked up the fully charged mobile phone next to him and looked at the time. It was July 29th, Monday, 6:09 in the morning.
"The time has been advanced. This means that the cycle of the Day of Imprisonment has been broken. Have we cleared it?"
Luo Xi remembered that the last time he entered confinement, his initial test time was 7:41 in the morning. At that time, he had already arrived at the company and was ready to go to work.
This time, the time was advanced. This change meant "clearance". Of course, it could not be ruled out that he was still in confinement, but the time of waking up was advanced.
But as long as I don't go to the company today, maybe I can avoid that terrible scene in the company.
next moment.
Luo Xi's phone vibrated.
There is an incoming call.
There are only numbers, that's because Luo Xi doesn't like to use the "Contacts" function. The main reason is not because he has a good memory and can remember the numbers of almost all acquaintances, but because he is lazy.
This number is unfamiliar, I have never seen it before.
connected.
"Hello, Luo Xi, it's me, Zhang Yanan"
A female voice came from the phone, and it could be heard that she was very excited.
"Zhang Yanan, where are you?" Luo Xi asked.
"At home. I'm at home. According to what you said, have we escaped from the days of confinement?" Zhang Yanan's voice was filled with joy of surviving a calamity.
"I don't know, but as long as I don't go to work today, I shouldn't be caught up in that scene."
"I see. I won't go today. So what should I do now? Do you need me to come find you?"
"Not necessary for now, do what needs to be done, but watch carefully and stay alert."
"If I get into trouble, can I call you?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, thank you Luo Xi!"
Beep!
There was another call coming in, so Luo Xi hung up Zhang Yanan and answered another one.
This time it was Guo Zening who called. Like Zhang Yanan, the two exchanged a few words and Luo Xi hung up.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Mao also called.
This is the critical call.
Luo Xi picked up the phone immediately.
"Brother Mao, where are you?"
"I'm at home, Luo Xi. It's exactly as you said, Monday, July 29th, but it's already past six in the morning. What's going on? Is what you said before true?"
"I never said it was fake."
"So, what do we do now? Did you say that we have cleared the level?"
"I don't know either. What are you going to do later, Brother Mao?"
"Work, what else can I do?"
"Can you not go to work?"
"If you don't work, you can support my two babies. Hahaha, Luo Xi, you feed the whole family. I have children and a mortgage. I'm under a lot of pressure. I can't not work."
"Then take a day off. Anyway, you can't go to the company today. Also, don't take your stomach medicine for now."
"By the way, speaking of this, you said before that this medicine is poison, what did you mean?"
"It's a long story. Anyway, don't eat yet, Brother Mao, listen to me. I'll treat your whole family to a big meal next time."
"You said this, don't forget it."
hang up the phone.
Luo Xi got up and opened the curtains.
It's already bright outside.
“Maybe, I really got through it.”
Luo Xi muttered to himself, and at this moment, his cell phone rang again. He looked at the number and remembered that it was Wu Rui's cell phone number.
If we just look at it from the perspective of colleagues, he and Wu Rui actually have a very good relationship, which goes beyond the average relationship between colleagues.
After pressing the answer button, Wu Rui's voice came from the phone.
"Luo Xi, I remember your home is at No. XX, Wangwang Road, right?"
"Are you coming to see me?" Luo Xi noticed that in addition to Wu Rui's voice, there were also a lot of noisy ambient sounds and car horns on the phone. She was obviously on the road.
"Didn't you say so? Let us find you as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute. You mean..." Luo Xi was stunned, then immediately looked around. The next moment his pupils shrank, and under a book he liked to read on the bedside table, there were three cards.
Luo Xi picked them up and took a look. The three cards were [Ebbinghaus's Pen], [Exorcism] taken from Feng Kai, and [Mana Power] obtained from Wu Rui.
"No. XX, Wangwang Road. I'll wait for you downstairs." Luo Xi hung up the phone without any nonsense.
Since the card is still there, the day of imprisonment must also exist.
There is a causal relationship between the two.
"Trouble." Luo Xi realized that the current situation was the possibility he least wanted to see.
That is, they did escape from the scene in the company, but in fact, the day of confinement was not over. The evidence was the card, because in real reality, it was impossible for such a card that was obviously a supernatural power to exist.
Soon, Guo Zening called and told Luo Xi in a hurried voice that he had also found his card, the one called [Greedy Survivor]. Obviously Guo Zening was not stupid and he had figured out the key.
Luo Xi told Guo Zening his address and asked him to come over immediately.
Afterwards, Luo Xi called Zhang Yanan and Liu Mao separately and told them the situation.
Shock, fear, suspicion, Luo Xi had no time to resolve these emotions. He just told them to come to him immediately.
Wash and dress quickly.
The time is 6:20.
Mom hadn't gotten up yet. Luo Xi looked at her at the bedroom door and saw that she was sleeping very soundly.
"Could it be that my mother is also trapped in the Day of Imprisonment? If not, then who am I seeing now? Or, what unknown existence is it?"
Luo Xi frowned.
He did not hesitate, but slowed down his movements, opened the security door and walked out as quietly as possible, and before leaving, he also took the garbage bag with him.
A new week, a new beginning. Please collect, recommend and read!
