Chapter 38 Zhou Ya
"Contract for the Level Scenario Manager of the Forbidden Days"

1. Contract Overview

The purpose of this contract is to clarify the responsibilities, obligations, assessment standards and reward and punishment rules of the level scene administrator of the Day of Confinement (hereinafter referred to as the "Administrator") to ensure that the level scene is dangerous, orderly and interesting.

II. Responsibilities and Obligations
Scene management: The administrator is fully responsible for the normal operation of the Forbidden Day level scene, including but not limited to designing and maintaining the operating mechanism within the scene, reasonably arranging cleaning work, and setting specific "killing time" and its triggering mechanism.

Content creation: Design and set up a variety of "puzzle" and "mini-game" links, ensure rich content and reasonable logic, and set clear clearance standards. Administrators need to continuously innovate and improve the gaming experience.

Rule guidance: Without interfering with the free actions of the players, it is obligatory to provide clear rule instructions and guidance to ensure that all participants understand the rules of the game.

Memory inheritance: If all members lose their memory, the administrator must immediately inform the next round of new memory restorers of the current game rules and progress to ensure game continuity.

Non-attack principle: Administrators are strictly prohibited from attacking or killing people without reason. Violators will bear serious consequences.

3. Assessment criteria
KPI indicators: mainly assess the efficiency and quality of the administrator's use of game rules to kill the memory collector, with "number of kills" and "total score" as the specific measurement criteria.

Number of kills: records the number of times the administrator successfully kills the Memory Collector through reasonable design of rules.

Total score: The Memory Collector has different scores based on the number of cycles and difficulty level. The administrator needs to guide the rules to maximize the total score.

Bonus points: Innovative puzzles and mini-games that are widely praised or significantly enhance the gaming experience will receive additional points.

IV. Reward and Penalty Rules

bonus system:

Administrators who perform well in the assessment will have the opportunity for promotion or special rewards, which will be decided by their superiors based on KPI performance and comprehensive evaluation.

punishment:

Violations of the contract, including but not limited to failure to perform duties, interfering with the actions of the Shiyiren, attacking the Shiyiren or designing unreasonable mechanisms, disclosing relevant information such as the company structure and administrators to the Shiyiren, etc., will be punished with warnings, card confiscation, demotion, and even termination of the contract depending on the severity of the circumstances.

Serious violators, such as intentionally killing Shiyiren or intentionally leaking company secrets, such as telling Shiyiren the company structure, superiors, and implicit rules of the scene, will be subject to the most severe punishment, including but not limited to being directly killed by their superiors.

5. Supplementary Provisions

This contract will take effect from the date of signing by both parties and will be valid until the specified date or the two parties agree to terminate it. The administrator must strictly abide by the terms of this contract to ensure the danger and excitement of the scene in the Day of Imprisonment.

Luo Xi looked at the contract and fell into deep thought.

There is a pen on the table, obviously. If he picks up the pen and signs his name below, will the contract become effective?

And he will become the manager of Sega Apartment Building?
Replace Zhou Xinpeng's position?

"Luo Xi."

Liu Mao's voice interrupted Luo Xi's thoughts.

At this moment, the other party was standing behind and obviously had something to say, but when Liu Mao saw the contract and other documents on the table, he was also stunned.

"Strange, apart from this contract, why are all the other papers filled with garbled characters?"

Liu Mao said something.

Then he looked at the contract, obviously in disbelief.

Now, Liu Mao has believed in the things that sound incredible, such as the 'Day of Confinement' and the 'Man Who Collects Memories'.

Facts speak louder than words.

You have no choice but to believe it.

However, what followed was a strong sense of worry. Liu Mao was not afraid of suffering himself, but he was afraid that his family would suffer.

"Luo Xi, what should we do?"

Liu Mao looked back at his wife and children who were huddled together. The worry on their faces was obvious. The most important thing was that he was only worried but had no idea what to do about the future. He felt powerless and desperate.

"Brother Mao, just do what you have to do."

Luo Xi's answer was very simple.

He even said some perfunctory nonsense as if he was impatient.

But it was obvious that Luo Xi didn't mean that, and Liu Mao could also see that he didn't mean that.

However, Luo Xi found that Liu Mao was still confused, so he thought for a while and said, "According to the currently known rules of the imprisonment day, as long as you don't enter the level scene, then life is still quite normal. In fact, if you are more optimistic and look at it from a different perspective, it may be even more exciting."

“???” The question mark on Liu Mao’s face was clearly visible.

"Look, let me give you an analogy. As long as you don't enter the level scene, you won't actually experience death."

"Moreover, once it's past midnight, everything will be reset, including memories. It seems hopeless, but if you look at it from another angle, there is some fun in it. For example, you can spend all your money on this day and do whatever you want. You can buy luxury goods that you didn't dare to buy in the past, eat big meals that you couldn't afford to eat, and do things that you wanted to do in the past but couldn't afford to do or didn't dare to do, because at this time, there is nothing that can restrain desires. When you spend everything at night and become a pauper, everything will be reset the next day, and your cleared bank card will be filled with lovely numbers again. Then, another wonderful day begins."

"But in that case, the memory must be retained, and to retain the memory, you must enter the level and obtain the memory card. Well, this is indeed a very interesting mechanism, like a sophisticated instrument. Even those who are at the top and do not need to enter the level scene in person to obtain the memory card, they also need to obtain the memory card from the memory collector who can enter the level scene. But, this is definitely not a long-term solution, because no one wants to be exploited, and there are more than just memory cards in the scene. Haha, interesting!" Luo Xi was talking to himself at first, but as he spoke, he seemed to start a conversation with himself and fell into some interesting chatting enthusiasm.

And I never get tired of it.

Beside him, Liu Mao stared with his eyes wide open, unable to get a word in, mainly because his brain couldn't keep up.

"So, who designed all this?"

"Naturally formed? No, that's impossible. How could a fake world be formed naturally? Someone must have designed this. But why did he, or they, design this fake world? What's the purpose?"

"This needs to be explored. Perhaps exploration itself is one of their purposes. Assuming that the person behind the scenes is a mental patient, then I happen to be a mental patient. I understand this group better than anyone else, but mental patients are also human beings. It's just that the ideas of this group are different from those of most people, so they are labeled as 'sick' and 'alternative'. If you think about the problem according to their way of thinking, you will find that everything they do is also based on the logic that information guides, knowledge forms opinions, opinions guide behavior, and behavior produces consequences."

"So there's an interesting answer hidden in the Day of Incarceration, and I have to find out."

At this time, Luo Xi looked up at Liu Mao who looked confused.

"I'm sorry, it's like this, Brother Mao. My advice is to let nature take its course, especially for children. There's no need to remember those bad things, right? Look, there's fear in the eyes of the two children. Obviously, everything they saw before was too stimulating for them. This kind of memory is not good for the growth of children. If no one else takes over the position of administrator of the Sega apartment building scene, this scene will be abolished, and I will take the administrator contract away. This should ensure that this place will become a normal place. In short, after today, tomorrow will still be a beautiful day."

"And you can choose to stay with your family, or you can choose to help me."

"Why me?" Liu Mao understood this time. He was very curious and very confused.

Luo Xi looked up at the hair moving on the ceiling.

"I think you and Zhou Ya are cleaners at the same level. It's also possible that she is a little better than you. The existence of cleaners is very special. I haven't figured it out yet."

"I understand. I will help you as long as you need me. Although I don't know how I can help you, I will try my best. Luo Xi, you are my team member and I trust you."

Liu Mao didn't seem to give it too much thought, nor did he get stuck in indecision.

He is a good man who cares about his family and is willing to take responsibility, but he is also a loyal, moral and decisive man.

"Okay." Luo Xi took out a memory card and handed it to Liu Mao.

"The killing time will be over in a little while. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone else in the apartment building will be dead. Brother Mao, take your family away for the time being. You can stay in a hotel or go to the amusement park. In short, stay with them and call me when the next round comes."

Luo Xi looked at the time at this time.

Zhou Ya's killing time had unknowingly lasted for forty minutes. In fact, from the beginning, no screams could be heard in the entire Sega apartment building. Except for the sound of hair moving, it was terrifyingly quiet.

This means that except for Room 809, everyone in the entire building is dead.

"Amazing!"

Luo Xi could imagine that this little girl Zhou Ya was amazing, but when he actually saw it with his own eyes and experienced it personally, he was still very surprised.

"She is probably the most powerful cleaner I have ever seen. Her hair can cover the entire building and kill everyone in the building. She is extremely powerful. It's a pity that the price she pays for triggering the killing time is death. In other words, she is already dead and a corpse. When the killing time is over, she will be worthless."

Luo Xi stood up and walked into the bedroom at this time. He was obviously not afraid of Zhou Ya.

Even though Zhou Ya looked extremely terrifying at this moment.

The massive amount of hair connected to the ceiling, so densely packed that even someone without trypophobia would get goose bumps when seeing this scene.

However, if we ignore her hair and skin that is as pale and cold as a corpse, strictly speaking, Zhou Ya is still a very beautiful and cute girl.

"Why did Zhou Xinpeng make his daughter a cleaner?"

Luo Xi talked to himself at this time.

In the bedroom, he stood by the bed and looked at Zhou Ya, then walked over and put his hand on the girl's neck.

"He is indeed dead!"

There was a dagger stuck in his chest and a sharp weapon pierced his neck. He was indeed deader than dead.

Luo Xi saw clearly just now that the fatal wound on the neck was stabbed by Wang Tao, but the dagger on the chest was not.

"She had been injured nearly to death before. Her dress was almost stained red, and the bed was also covered in blood. Who had injured her before?"

Luo Xi tentatively reached out and touched Zhou Ya at this time. After finding nothing else unusual, he directly pulled Zhou Ya aside.

Under the body was a blood-stained diary.

"There are unexpected discoveries?"

Luo Xi sat down beside the bed and picked up the diary. Before he had time to open it, he saw a paragraph of text appear on the diary.

[Bloody Diary], special item, status: materialized (can be converted into a card). Please note that there is an extremely powerful curse on the diary. If you don't want to be cursed, don't read it - of course, you can also disobey me.
