Chapter 42: The fallen residential building
Chapter 42: The fallen residential building
The rain outside has eased.
It is now 2:37 pm.
"I haven't realized that I've been here for over an hour. It's time to go." Luo Xi stood up at this time.
He chatted a lot with Hao Xiuwen, or rather, he used a special chatting skill to get the information he wanted to know from the other party with very few words. It can be said that Luo Xi gained a lot this time.
First of all, he has a deeper and broader understanding of the card system in Forbidden Day.
For example, the types of cards, in addition to their attributes, such as creatures, spells, incantations, rules, spaces, etc., the biggest difference is whether they have a "number".
The number of [Duck Prophet] is 079.
This is also the reason why Hao Xiuwen was so interested after hearing about this card.
According to him, numbered cards are more valuable, and not only in terms of the role and effect of the cards, but also in their deeper value.
In addition, Luo Xi also mastered the technique of 'carding' card props.
This is a skill that only a 'memory collector' can master.
Anyone who can regain memory can learn it, but it takes a lot of time to become familiar with and practice. First of all, one must first sense the "telekinesis", which cannot actually act on any object. Except for the cards in the Day of Imprisonment, "telekinesis" is almost non-existent, or it is simply the imagination of a psychopath.
But this seemingly imaginary thing can indeed work on cards.
For example, to activate a card, you rely on the "telekinesis" of the memory collector, because you may make sounds like "release" and "trigger" to carry telekinesis and trigger the card. If you are more skilled, you only need to take out the card and think about triggering or activating, and you can use the card.
However, the props formed by the cards can be materialized, and the process can also be reversed to restore the 'cards', that is, cardization.
This is a bit more difficult and is an advanced skill.
But just like a math problem that can be solved by applying a formula, by watching someone else do it once, or studying the formula and applying it, you can slowly learn and understand it and become proficient at it.
Hao Xiuwen said that a normal amnesiac would need most of the day to barely master it, but Luo Xi, in less than two minutes, was able to switch the cigarette in his hand between the physical and card states, which stunned Hao Xiuwen at the time.
"Ha, Luo Xi, even though you didn't say it, I think you are at least a veteran who has cleared five or six scenes, but why don't you have a card ring?"
This is what Hao Xiuwen said before leaving.
However, Luo Xi did not deny or admit it, nor did he answer, which left the other party room for imagination.
"There aren't many people who can talk to me. Luo Xi, come and chat with me when you have time. If you have good cards, you can also come and exchange with me. I will give you a discount."
"Okay, I'll come again."
Walking on the street again, there was a kind of dampness in the air that was unique to after the rain. The ground was covered with rainwater, which gathered into small rivers under the curbs. The dirty water was crowded and rolled into the drain, leaving only a few garbage bags and leaves still lingering in the world.
"One of the rules of the Day of Imprisonment is that after the Memory Collector has cleared any three levels, he or she can randomly obtain a [Card Ring] numbered 099. The card book to which the card ring belongs may have some special effects, which will help the Memory Collector to play the game better during the Day of Imprisonment."
"Listen, what kind of nonsense is that? Is everything we've experienced a game? It's more terrifying than a nightmare. How is it different from the real hell? The shop owner named Hao Xiuwen is obviously mentally ill."
Wu Rui chattered all the way.
It's not her fault. Hao Xiuwen did not deliberately hide his problematic mental state. The reason why he could chat so well with Luo Xi and even quickly became friends with her might be because of his mental problems.
However, Luo Xi couldn't explain this kind of thing to Wu Rui.
He prefers to call this ability to make friends with others easily "affinity".
The two of them followed the road back to the alley where Wu Rui had parked her car before. After getting in the car, Luo Xi gave an address.
“Black Pig Community, Zhuzhu Road, Huangling District.”
"It's not too far, we can get there in half an hour." "Let's drive!"
Half an hour later, Wu Rui's car stopped outside an old residential area.
It is 3:15 in the afternoon.
"The road ahead is blocked, and there seems to be a fire truck." Wu Rui said at this time.
The two got out of the car and walked over, then quickly walked back.
The expressions are a little bad.
Because there was a fire in a building in this community.
The whole building was deformed and burnt beyond recognition. It was pitch black and some parts even collapsed. The fire was obviously out, but a burning smell could be smelled from a distance. There was a search and rescue team working inside, and they could not get close within 8 meters. And this building was the home address provided by Lao Wang, Building .
Judging from the current level of destruction, even if there were people inside, they would have died long ago.
"Maybe the administrator's daughter is already dead." Wu Rui said a possibility in the car.
"It's hard to draw a conclusion now. Tuntun Primary School is nearby, let's go check it out." Luo Xi said, "This mission only needs to confirm Wang Shuting's current situation. If she is dead, I will pass on the news of her death, which will also be considered as completing the mission."
Wu Rui didn't expect Luo Xi to say that.
Obviously, from the very beginning, Luo Xi's starting point for considering the problem was very simple and direct.
Set a goal and accomplish it.
It's that simple.
Wu Rui started the car.
When leaving the community, Luo Xi said again: "Maybe, the building No. 8 we saw just now is also a scene of a certain level."
Obviously, Wu Rui shivered.
"I would never go to such a scene, even if I am beaten to death."
As expected, Tuntun Primary School was nearby. It only took less than two minutes to drive there after turning two corners.
After arriving at the place, I found it extremely lively. There was a banner hanging at the school gate that read "The Third Summer Campus Practice Activity of Tuntun Primary School."
There were cars parked on both sides of the road in front of the door.
The campus is also crowded with people.
Wu Rui ran over, stopped and asked a few parents at the door, and quickly came back and said, "This primary school arranges students to visit the museum in the morning, and social practice in the afternoon. Parents can voluntarily choose whether to participate. It means that the children play some professions in school, such as police, doctors, vendors, etc. I asked, and the activity ends at 5:30."
"It's 3:25 now, which means there are still about two hours."
"I guess that Wang Shuting must be there too, because this is a school-wide event and all grades have to participate."
Wu Rui gave a lot of her analysis.
Luo Xi, on the other hand, was staring at a female teacher standing at the school gate, without blinking. Wu Rui followed her gaze and frowned.
"She's pretty and has a good figure," she muttered.
At this time, Luo Xi had already walked over.
"Hello, I want to challenge your level scene!"
