Chapter 23 Luo Xi's "Solution"

"The number you dialed has been turned off, please call again later."

“The number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later.“

In the corridor on the first floor, Luo Xi was looking at his phone. Wu Rui beside him asked, "Is it turned off?"

Luo Xi nodded.

Wu Rui asked: "What do you think happened to Brother Mao?"

"It's hard to say. The worst case scenario is that he was killed by another Memory Collector in this level, so the phone fell into his hands. But he probably didn't notice it at first. It was a child who found the phone and answered my call."

"If Brother Mao dies, is there any need for us to stay here?" Wu Rui asked.

Because they came here just to find Liu Mao.

"What I just said is the worst case scenario. Besides, the parents of the child who answered the phone should be the ones who attacked Brother Mao, otherwise they wouldn't have hung up on me. Under normal circumstances, no parent would kill someone in front of their child, so we still need to confirm it. Besides, we have already entered this level scene and signed a contract. We can only leave after passing the level."

"Okay, what should we do now? If it's a family with children, maybe we can narrow the scope." Wu Rui said halfway when she suddenly realized that even so, they still didn't know how to find the person they were looking for in this apartment building with nearly a hundred households.

Even if the occupancy rate of this apartment building is only 50%, it would still be a difficult thing to do. You can't just knock on every door and ask.

Wu Rui felt that this matter was very tricky from the very beginning.

Luo Xi was wandering around the first floor, as if looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Wu Rui couldn't help but ask.

"The meter box. Normally, the specific room number and the name of the householder would be written on the meter, but I didn't find it. That's right. If it were that easy to determine the situation of the residents in the building, then this scene would be simple."

Luo Xi was not discouraged when he failed to find the electricity meter box. He walked to the door of a house on the first floor near the elevator and started knocking on the door, while making a "hush" gesture to Wu Rui.

That means don't talk.

"In the end, I still have to knock on every door." Wu Rui muttered to herself.

At this moment she hid to the side of the door, holding the handle of the knife tightly.

The knock on the door broke the silence in the corridor.

Boom boom boom!
"Who?"

The security door opened, and an old woman who looked to be in her sixties poked her head out and looked at Luo Xi with some vigilance.

"Hello, grandma. I'm from the power supply company. This is my ID. We're going to replace all the electricity meters here. I was supposed to contact the apartment manager, but I can't contact him. Do you know how to contact him?"

Luo Xi was talking nonsense in a serious tone. The ID in his hand was his work badge, and he was obviously sure that the other party would not take a closer look.

"I don't know either. I don't contact him on weekdays." The old woman shook her head.

"Is there an owners' group? Please add me in and I will contact him." Luo Xi took out his mobile phone.

"Yes, wait a moment." The old woman didn't doubt him and turned to get her cell phone. Luo Xi was standing at the door, casually glancing at the situation in the room.

It should be a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, not very large, the furniture in the room is a bit old, and it looks messy, and you can smell a medicine smell. There are family photos hanging on the wall, two old people, and other photos of their children and grandchildren together, at least three generations living together.
Soon, the old woman came over with her cell phone and opened a group message.

"It's this group, but I don't know how to add people."

"Let me take a look."

Luo Xi took the phone and took a look. The name of the group was 'Sega Apartment Building Owners Group', with 225 members.

The group administrator is Luobo, and the contact number is marked behind him.

The names of the owners in the group are marked with room number + name + contact number, which is naturally convenient for management.

However, to join the group, you need administrator approval before you can enter.

Luo Xi was certain that if he applied to join the group, he would be rejected.

But he still scanned the code and submitted an application to join the group.

At this time, Wu Rui couldn't help but come over to take a look, and found that Luo Xi had clicked on the group member list and was swiping from top to bottom.

"Found it! He is so smart. This method can indeed locate Brother Mao's room number immediately. Why didn't I think of it?" Wu Rui said in her heart as she watched Liu Mao's name flash across the screen of her mobile phone.

At this time, the old lady opposite already had a suspicious look on her face, probably because she realized that Wu Rui's behavior was not that of a "serious person".

"Thank you, grandma. Here's your phone." Luo Xi rummaged through it briefly and then returned the phone to the old woman.

The latter nodded and immediately closed the security door.

I guess he's already on guard.

"I just saw that Brother Mao lives in 712. Let's go up and find him." Wu Rui said, and Luo Xi nodded. The two pressed the up button of the elevator. Soon, the elevator door opened and the two walked in.

In the car, Wu Rui suddenly remembered something: "If Brother Mao was arrested, we won't be able to find him even if we go to his house. Besides, someone may have set their sights on Brother Mao's house. If we go there rashly, we may alert the enemy."

Luo Xi nodded, and the elevator made a creaking sound as it went up. Soon, they arrived at the 7th floor. The door opened, and the laughter of children playing could be heard in the corridor.

The two walked out of the elevator and looked around.

Over there, a few children were chasing and playing.

Wu Rui was about to go over there, but was stopped by Luo Xi.

"What's wrong?" Wu Rui just opened her mouth and saw Luo Xi making a gesture to keep quiet. She was a little nervous and kept silent, looking around vigilantly.

Luo Xi was just around the corner, watching a few children playing in the corridor over there.

"Brother Sixin, today is Sister Zhou Ya's birthday. My brother prepared a diary. What did you prepare?" asked the youngest-looking child in a baby voice.

"Me? I didn't prepare anything, but my sister did. She and Sister Zhou Ya are in the same class. I heard there will be a big cake with cream and chocolate flavor." said the boy called Brother Sixin.

"Wow, I'm really looking forward to it."

"My dad said he would buy it for me next time it's my birthday," Liu Sixin said.

"Well, can you give me some to eat then?" the child asked hurriedly.

"Yes, we are good friends, and good friends know how to share."

The other slightly older boy did not join in the discussion, probably because he thought it was very childish. He was concentrating on skipping rope at the moment, but his eyes would occasionally glance to the other side, and no one knew what he was looking at.

"By the way, someone called your dad this morning and I answered the call." The child remembered something and mentioned it.

"You're lying. My dad went to work and I don't even have a phone. How did you get a phone when you're so young?" Liu Sixin said angrily.

"Really, but my mom said someone called the wrong number."

At this time, another child came over and joined them, doubling the excitement and happiness.
Wu Rui turned her head and whispered, "Luo Xi, could it be that the child who answered your call before is..."

Luo Xi nodded: "As far as I know, apart from the administrator, the one who knows the most about the scene information in the level scene during the imprisonment is the memory collector who has saved multiple memories. We don't have that much time to waste, so it's best to contact the memory collector here directly."

"What?" Wu Rui didn't react.

"Follow me, don't say anything, hold the knife, and if I say to do it, you do it."

Luo Xi took out the cigarette and put it in his mouth, but did not light it.

Then he took out his cell phone, dialed a number while walking forward, and Wu Rui hurriedly followed behind him.

After a few rings, the call was connected.

"Hello?" There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone.

Luo Xi said directly: "Song Yan, open the door!"

"Who are you?" The woman on the other end of the phone was obviously confused.

"I'm the one who called Liu Mao just now. Open the door, I'm at your door." At this time, Luo Xi had already walked to the door of Room 710 and stood still, then hung up the phone directly.

Not to mention the woman on the phone, even the woman next to Luo Xi was confused.

"How do you know the other person's name?" Wu Rui asked in a low voice.

Luo Xi frowned and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Wu Rui could only suppress her curiosity. She remembered that Luo Xi had just told her to follow him, not to speak, to hold the knife, and to start when he said to.
She had already hidden the dagger in her sleeve, and she was a little nervous at this moment, but looking at Luo Xi, at this moment, not only was the other party not nervous or unnatural at all, on the contrary, there was a visible confidence and momentum of controlling everything.

"I understand. When this guy was looking through the old lady's phone just now, he had already memorized the room number and name of the resident on the 7th floor. No, he may have memorized more things, even the information of the entire owner group. But how can he be so sure that it was this family that attacked Brother Mao? Oh, and another reason why Luo Xi is so anxious is precisely for Brother Mao. According to his previous inference, Brother Mao may not have been killed, but he is definitely in danger. If he can find out earlier, he may be able to disrupt the other party's plan to kill."

Thoughts surged in Wu Rui's mind, and the next moment, the door of Room 710 was opened.

The person who opened the door was a man with obvious stubble and looked haggard, but there was an inexplicable fierceness in his eyes.

"Fan Yong?" Luo Xi at the door glanced at him and said directly: "Your two sons are outside, let's go in and talk."

After saying that, he walked straight inside, and the man inside subconsciously made way.

Wu Rui followed in.

Her heart was beating fast because what had happened so far was too exciting, but at this moment all the messy thoughts in her mind had disappeared. Now holding the handle of the knife tightly, she only knew that if Luo Xi said to take action, she would kill without hesitation.
