Chapter 48 The Awakener Association

Real fighting is not the kind that lasts for hundreds of rounds, with a draw that is hard to determine the winner, or even days of raging without a clear winner.

Instead, life or death is decided in a very short period of time, which may be a minute or even just a few seconds.

That's what this battle is like.

Among the four people, Wang Li had his head smashed in, and Wu Rui also killed one, but the price was that they both died. However, as a woman, it was quite difficult for her to do this.

One of them was severely injured by Luo Xi and no longer posed a threat.

There was only one left, Zhu Zifeng. He did not take any action from beginning to end, as if he was a passerby, completely staying out of the matter.

"Old Zhu, right? Aren't you in the same group with them?"

After hearing Luo Xi's question, Zhu Zifeng on the other side stammered and replied: "No, not really, I just joined them temporarily."

Luo Xi felt his neck was a little cold at this time, so he reached out and touched it.

A hand of blood.

It was a wound that was just cut by the knife in Wang Li's hand.

It was not a fatal injury, but Luo Xi found that the bleeding would not stop, and it was useless even if he covered the wound.

"Wang Li has a combat support card called [Bleeding]. It can be added to any blade-type weapon. During the battle, even if the opponent's skin is only scratched a little, the wound will not heal and will continue to bleed until death."

Zhu Zifeng suddenly spoke.

Luo Xi understood that the card Wang Li had just used was the [Bleeding].

According to Zhu Zifeng's description, this is indeed a very troublesome card.

As far as we know, the mysterious powers attached to the cards are real and exactly as described on the cards.

Since it is said that the wound cannot heal and will continue to bleed, it must be like this, and death will eventually occur due to bleeding.

But this also depends on the size of the wound and the amount of bleeding.

From the current perspective, he won’t die in a short period of time.

Luo Xi shook the blood off his hands, seemingly not caring about it. He walked up to the man who was not dead yet, holding a hammer. The man was hit hard in the chest by his knee, and his sternum was probably broken. He could not even get up, and could only struggle to raise his head, looking at Luo Xi with fear in his eyes.

The latter showed no mercy and squatted down to search him.

Unfortunately, the other party is a pauper and doesn't have any cards.

Luo Xi stood up, and amid the other party's terrified begging for mercy, he swung the hammer and smashed it down.

In just a moment, the screaming stopped.

Zhu Zifeng felt his scalp tingling when he saw this scene.

"Hello Luo Xi, let me introduce myself to you again. I am a member of the 'Awakener Association', an organization of memory collectors. My duties are simple. I will look for potential memory collectors and recruit them to join the organization."

"So you think I have great potential?" Luo Xi found a relatively clean piece of cloth, folded it into two layers, and covered the wound on his neck with it.

But it was useless. The wound could not heal at all due to the force of the cards. Covering it could at best slow down the bleeding, but it was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

"Yes, I've noticed you since the human body puzzle challenge. You're very strong, and I think you're very suitable to join us." Zhu Zifeng's tone was sincere, and his appearance was honest, which made him even more convincing.

Luo Xi looked at the time.

Only three minutes had passed since the fight began.

The duration of [Fighter's Cigarette] is ten minutes, which is a bit of a loss.

And even if you put out the cigarette now and leave it for the next time, it will be useless, because the 30% improvement in physical fitness takes ten minutes, that is, it starts from the first puff. The same cigarette will not have the effect of improving physical fitness if you put it out and smoke it again.

Of course this is reasonable.

Otherwise, one cigarette can last for a year. "What are the benefits of joining you?" Luo Xi asked.

"Of course there are benefits. The day of imprisonment is only now, time is limited, and there are dangers everywhere. At this time, intelligence and experience become the most important things, and the Awakener Association can provide these. Of course, all the benefits are not given for no reason, and the members of the association also need to contribute to the association."

"For example."

"Follow the arrangements and instructions, and sacrifice personal interests when necessary. However, such situations rarely happen. In essence, the Awakener Association is a mutual aid association. If everyone works together, the success rate will be higher."

What Zhu Zifeng said was indeed very sincere.

"Then what is your goal?" Luo Xi asked again.

"Of course, to escape from the days of confinement and return to normal life."

Luo Xi lowered his head, as if thinking, and quickly raised his head: "I'll think about it."

Zhu Zifeng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The Awakener Association is free to come and go. If you have thought it through, make this call."

He took out a note, walked over and handed it to Luo Xi.

There was a phone number on the note.

"Do you need help now?" Zhu Zifeng looked at the clothes covering Luo Xi's neck, half of which had been stained red.

Obviously, the effect of the card [Bleeding] is very powerful.

"Can you offset the effect of the continuous bleeding?" Luo Xi asked.

Zhu Zifeng shook his head: "No, but I heard that there are some corresponding cards that can remove the bleeding effect. I also heard that the card system in the Day of Imprisonment is very complete. If there are cards with negative effects, there must be cards that can remove the negative effects. But I don’t have such a card. Maybe other people in the association have it, but..."

"I understand, thank you."

Luo Xi knew that any request meant paying a certain price, and there was no free lunch in the world.

"Well, consider calling me. Besides, at the rate you're bleeding, you may not be able to hold out for a few more hours. If you come with me now, maybe there's still a chance."

"No need for now."

"Well, bye then!"

After Zhu Zifeng finished speaking, he turned and left.

Apparently he had been observing Wang Li and the others, and found that these people did not meet their recruitment criteria at all.

Then he discovered Luo Xi, and only after confirming that the other party did have great potential did he state his purpose.

Now that he had said everything that needed to be said, he naturally would not stay here any longer.

Because he was a little afraid of the person in front of him.

He had seen many murders, but he had no expression on his face. It was the first time he had seen someone using a hammer to hit someone's head like a watermelon. To be honest, he had a little psychological trauma.

Luo Xi didn't plan to leave.

He had to take advantage of the time he still had to continue conquering the school scene. He had to pass it three times, and then he would be able to obtain the [Card Ring] numbered 099. The card ring came with the card book and might have some special effects, which would help him play the game better during the days of confinement.

Another thing is that he needs to get some tokens from Wang Shuting, or simply record a video and let Old Wang see it. In this way, he can be regarded as having completed the other party's task and can get an extra card as a reward.

Mr. Liang, the administrator of this scene, did not explain the conditions for passing the school scene.

However, according to Luo Xi's observation, challenging all the social practice projects in the school scenario should be considered as passing the level.

He has just listed them out. In addition to 'human puzzle' and 'making mooncakes', there are also 'fire escape drills' and 'outdoor adventures'. Of course there are omissions, but you need to explore them yourself.

Teacher Liang also said that her scenes are meant to be explored by herself.

Luo Xi covered the wound on his neck, he had to hurry.
