Chapter 24 What's so special about him?

Wu Rui's life was very bumpy.

A girl with only a college diploma, not tall, no background, no backing, born in an ordinary rural family. The only asset that others see as her is her well-proportioned figure and sweet looks.

Her close friends who are familiar with her call her sweet girl.

It is a common phenomenon in the village to favor boys over girls. She lived a very depressed childhood and adolescence. Only by going to school and coming to the city did she get a chance to breathe. Here, she no longer has to live in fear every day and endure the disdainful looks of her parents. There was a time when she felt she had gained freedom.

In that home that made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart, the only person who made her feel nostalgic was her little sister.

There are three children in her family. She is the eldest and has a younger brother and a younger sister.

Her parents only had eyes for her younger brother. Not only did she and her younger sister often receive cold stares, they also had a nickname all their own.

Losing money!
Relying on her own efforts and coming to a big city to work was like escaping from the cage of her original family. The only price she paid was that she had to give half of her income to her parents every month, under the pretext of saving up for her younger brother's dowry.

So Wu Rui put in more effort than others. For her, customer service job was the only formal job she could find that was relatively good and decent in all aspects.

She has several part-time jobs, otherwise, she would not be able to buy her own car.

Of course, like all young people of this age group, they have unrealistic fantasies and a little ambition. They think that their current crappy job is just a stepping stone on the road to success, a temporary stopover for saving living expenses and social experience. In the future, they will definitely live better and find a better job.

Wu Rui also had similar ideas, and besides, she had her goals.

That is to rely on her own efforts to buy a house in this city. Even if the house is small, it will belong to her. Then she can bring her younger sister over, support her, and send her to school, and she will no longer have to live in that depressing and inhumane family.

This is Wu Rui's motivation and life goal.

She thought that life would go as she imagined. As long as she was heading in the right direction and worked hard, she would be able to reap the "fruits" she wanted. However, reality played a joke on her. One day, while at work, she experienced a massacre that seemed inexplicable to her.

Yes, in her eyes, that was a massacre.

It was like a scene from a nightmare or hell.

The terrifying 'Brother Mao' killed everyone she knew one after another in an almost incomprehensible way. Some had their necks broken, and some had their heads smashed like watermelons.
Also shattered was the beautiful life she had longed for.

From the moment she could remember this, the world had changed.

She was so frightened at the time that she even wet her pants after Brother Mao knocked her to the ground. She opened her mouth, trembled, and cried, but she couldn't scream.

It's very shameful, but when death is imminent, who the hell still cares about face?
Fear, confusion, and the pain that lingered in her memory when her neck was broken all came to Wu Rui's mind all at once, along with the memory.

When she came to her senses, she found herself standing in the elevator.

still alive.

Time seemed to go back to earlier that day, when she had just arrived at work.

But the memory was so real that it was terrifying, even the pain of broken bones still remained in her body. She was terrified, and the accumulated depression and fear made her unable to help but scream hysterically, attracting the attention of others in the elevator.

There was only one person who looked at her with a different expression.

Later, this person became Wu Rui's 'guide' to survive. It was she who told Wu Rui everything about the days of imprisonment, told her what she could do and what she could not do, and it was also she who taught her how to kill people step by step.

"The most unexpected killing weapon is a pen. Stab the eyes. It must be done unexpectedly and quickly. This way it can penetrate the brain directly and kill the person instantly." The man said this in a gentle tone. Wu Rui was a little reluctant to accept it at the time, but she soon realized that humans can do anything to survive.

After realizing the environment she was in, Wu Rui said she must escape.

She also wants to take her younger sister out of another 'hell'.

She promised.

But the 'guide' smiled, shook his head, and said a despairing fact in a gentle tone: "Wu Rui, although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that no one can escape from the day of imprisonment."

"How do you know?" Wu Rui was very unconvinced, and anger surged in her heart. Mainly because she didn't want to extinguish the glimmer of hope in her heart that kept her going.

The other party did not answer, but just smiled and shook his head, as if answering in this way.

The two of them went through two days of confinement together. On one occasion, they really held on to the end. It was already night, past ten o'clock in the evening. According to the rules told by the guide, they only had to survive until midnight to pass the level.

You can leave this scene.

At that time, Wu Rui did not know the deeper meaning of the "this scene" mentioned by the guide. She always thought that "this scene" referred to the day of confinement, but later she found out that the scope of the day of confinement was larger than she imagined.

"This world is false."

It was only later that she understood the meaning of this sentence.

Unfortunately, they still failed that time. Even with the extremely rare initial card "Hideout", they still couldn't escape Mao Ge's killing time. At 11:49, they failed.

Even though she didn't pass the level, Wu Rui still retained her memory and became a 'senior' memory collector.

Of course, she followed the advice of the 'guide' and was careful and cautious, never showing any abnormality and not letting anyone catch her, because there must be other 'experienced memory collectors' in this scene. Whoever was exposed first would naturally be at a disadvantage.

Defenses can not do without.

But she gradually forgot one thing. It seemed that clearing the scene should have been the main goal, but it turned into a mutual slaughter among the people who regained their memories. Because only by killing the people who regained their memories could she get the "memory card" reward, so as not to become amnesiacs on the next day of confinement.

After many cycles, Wu Rui's relationship with her 'guide' naturally became closer and closer. Sometimes, she would open her heart and tell some of her own secrets, such as her background, family, and her younger sister.

The 'guide' just smiled and said nothing, and it was impossible to tell what the other person was thinking from his appearance.

Of course, the guide must have her own secrets, but unlike Wu Rui, she has never revealed them. However, Wu Rui can still see some clues.

The 'guide' seemed to have a different 'attention' to one of her colleagues than to others. Although this 'attention' had almost no appearance, Wu Rui could still sense it.

Wu Rui was also very familiar with that colleague, and he was 100% amnesiac. He did the same thing every day, just like an NPC in the game.

Once, Wu Rui couldn't help but ask the 'guide' why she felt that you were particularly concerned about that male colleague named Luo Xi.

The guide's answer was very strange.

"You know, if you give a memory card to a person with amnesia, then the person with amnesia will retain his memory in the next round and become a person who regains his memory. Wu Rui, you promise me that you will never, ever give him a memory card, okay?"

“Why should I give it to him?”

"Just promise me." The guide interrupted Wu Rui.

"Okay, I promise you." Perhaps seeing that the guide's expression was more serious than ever, Wu Rui nodded even though she was curious. However, Wu Rui didn't know at that time that the other party would do something that would make her regret for the rest of her life, but she could do nothing about it.

"Wu Rui, I'm tired!" The guide said in a low voice. Although he still had that smile on his face, hidden behind the smile was despair and numbness.

"What?" Wu Rui was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the guide walked out and Wu Rui hurriedly followed. Trying not to attract other people's attention as much as possible, they arrived at the elevator door one after another.

The guide pressed the down button of the elevator.

"What are you going to do?" Wu Rui felt ominous.

The guide said, "Like I said just now, I'm tired, and I choose to give up. Wu Rui, remember the scene rules I told you. The Memory Collector cannot leave the scene before he has cleared the level. Otherwise, his memory will be erased and he will become an amnesiac."

Wu Rui's eyes widened immediately: "No. Why? You want to go downstairs? When you say give up, what do you mean..."

"Yes, I'm really tired. After all, even he was trapped in the Day of Imprisonment. Xiao Rui, I'm desperate because I can't see the direction. I'm even confused about where I came from. I want to clear the fog, but the fog never dissipates. When did all this begin? Where is the initial starting point? How many times have I cycled through this? And how many times have I become a memory collector? I dare not think about these questions, but I can't help thinking about them. Every cycle is a torture for me. I'm tired. Please forgive me for being a deserter. Xiao Rui, you have to cheer up!"

At this time, the elevator door opened, the guide walked in without hesitation, and pressed the button for the first floor.

Wu Rui was stunned. She tried to step forward to stop it, but the elevator door closed at this time.

She watched the elevator floor indicators go all the way down from the 23rd floor to the first floor.

In my mind, the only thing is the moment when the elevator door closed and the look of relief on the face of the person inside.

she cried.

Hiding in the bathroom, covering my mouth, crying silently.

She felt an extremely strong sense of loneliness and even had the impulse to follow them down and become an amnesiac, because people with amnesia can forget all the unhappiness and despair.

But that would be tantamount to giving up. She had to escape from this false world and go find her younger sister.

During that period, she felt like she was no different from a zombie. If she hadn't had extra memory cards on hand, she might not have been able to hold on.

Later, the sadness gradually faded away, and she began to carefully recall what the 'Guide' had said and done. Then she was surprised to discover one thing, it seemed that the 'Guide' had come for someone from the very beginning.

The other party has also been observing that person.

Reincarnation after reincarnation, cycle after cycle, if you recall carefully, the other party has been secretly paying attention to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi!

"Could it be that when she entered the elevator, she said 'After all, even he was trapped in the Day of Imprisonment', was she referring to Luo Xi? Does she know Luo Xi?"

"But Luo Xi, there's nothing special about it!"

Although she didn't agree with it in her heart, from that day on, Wu Rui began to secretly observe Luo Xi, until the killing time suddenly began. She subconsciously pulled Luo Xi to run, although they did not escape and of course it was impossible for them to escape because no one could survive Liu Mao's killing time.

But in the next cycle, she discovered that Luo Xi had become a memory collector.

"I didn't give him a memory card. This is a randomly generated memory collector. Okay, guide, I want to see what's so special about him."
