Chapter 53 [Sunset]
Chapter 53 [Sunset]
The setting sun in the sky is already at its last gasp, and the remaining ray of light is about to sink.
Then, night will fall.
On the rooftop of the tallest building in the city, several people were watching the last ray of sunset disappear in the wind.
"It's getting dark again!"
"Yes."
"I have seen the same beautiful sunset many times, and every time I see it, it is exactly the same, including the shape of the clouds and the pigeons flying below. I even counted how many pigeons there were, a total of 37, and it is the same every time."
"Lin Yixuan, is there something wrong with those pigeons? I don't think they have anything to do with our business, so... what are your plans next?"
One woman clearly lost her patience.
In fact, anyone who has lost his memory will have some psychological problems, the most common of which are impatience and irritability.
It has to do with what they have been through.
The man called Lin Yixuan did not look back. He was still looking at the disappearing afterglow, like an infatuated and resentful person who watched his lover leave and could not bear to miss any last moment of seeing his lover.
"What plan do you mean?" But he still replied.
"What could it be? Of course, it's to find the card numbered 000." The woman frowned. She was obviously trying hard to hold back, but her tone was already a little serious.
The man didn't say anything, as if he didn't want to disturb the scenery before him.
Or maybe, he just doesn't want to respond.
The other people present looked at each other. Due to Lin Yixuan's status as their leader, they couldn't say anything at this time.
"Lin Yixuan, what on earth are you doing?"
Faced with such disregard, the woman finally couldn't help but get angry.
On her slender finger, a green ring emitted a faint light, and the atmosphere on the rooftop seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.
"Xiao An, don't be anxious. Let's talk it over nicely. Yixuan might be under a lot of pressure recently, so he's a little depressed. But this is normal. After all, during the days of confinement, no one can guarantee that they can maintain a good attitude all the time." A middle-aged man next to him advised.
"Yeah, calm down first. Besides, there's no point in rushing some things." A burly middle-aged woman also tried to persuade him. It was obvious that she was helpless as well.
An Zhiyan took a deep breath, "I'm not anxious, it's just that Lin Yixuan's attitude has been too negative in recent rounds, and his behavior has been too weird. He is the president of the Awakener Association, the leader, and the brain. He is responsible for all our actions, exploring different levels and scenes, and collecting cards. I know it's hard to break the day of confinement, but no matter how hard it is, we can't eat, drink, and have fun for several consecutive cycles, or run here to enjoy the scenery. It's been like this for five consecutive cycles. Lin Yixuan, if you want to give up, please make it clear, but I won't give up. I will lead the Awakener Association to continue."
"Shh!"
The man named Lin Yixuan still didn't look back. From the beginning, he had been staring at the sunset over there for more than thirty minutes, and he had been doing similar things for five days in prison.
During these five days of confinement, he would arrive here on time before the sun set, and watch the sunset from the same location.
No one knows why he did that.
And he not only came to see it himself, but also brought three other people with him.
Seeing the other party's attitude and reaction, An Zhiyan became even angrier.
Just as she was about to speak, Lin Yixuan said, "The wind has stopped!"
wind?
The other three were stunned.
But soon, I reacted.
Something is wrong!
You have to know that this is their fifth day, and they have come to the same place at the same time. It can be said that they can recite the situation here from sunset to nightfall by heart.
Because it is on a high floor, the wind never stops here.
Especially after the sun sets, the wind will increase.
But at this moment, the wind stopped.
There was no wind at all and it felt like being indoors.
The situation was obviously different from the previous four days of confinement.
This kind of thing often means that some special "event" is about to be triggered during the day of confinement.
They were all memory restorers, and they were all senior ones. Even the worst one had survived more than twelve days of confinement and retained twelve memories. Therefore, they were very clear about these rules and details.
The next moment, they saw a scene that made their scalps tingle.
At the moment when the afterglow was about to disappear, the time around seemed to stop. Even the large flock of birds in the distance stood still, as if everything around had turned into a still painting.
This strange anomaly only lasted for a few seconds.
Then everything returned to normal.
An Zhiyan was in a trance, and so were the other two. They looked at each other and saw extreme shock in each other's eyes.
"What just happened?"
"It seems that time has stopped?"
"How can this be?"
The sky darkened, the afterglow disappeared, and Lin Yixuan, who had been staring at the distance, turned his eyes away for the first time and walked over. In his empty hand, there was a special card. In the already dim scene, there was a very unique light.
He walked up to the other three people and shook the cards in his hand.
"In the five cycles of Imprisonment, the four of us spent a total of twenty [Memories], and finally, we got this card."
He showed the cards.
[Sunset], number 007, is an extremely rare card with huge value and carries many things. For example, the most beautiful scenery often exists in an ordinary moment that is missed inadvertently. The world is never short of beautiful scenery, but what is lacking is the eyes to discover the beauty - perhaps, you can use it to exchange with someone, believe me, you will exchange what you want!
After seeing the introduction of this card, An Zhiyan and the other two were stunned.
"This is this"
"Card number 007? How did you know?"
"Tou Lin, I admit that I had some doubts about you before, but now, I am convinced. I am really convinced. From now on, whatever you say is the truth. No, you are our eternal leader, you...you are so awesome." The aunt was stuttering at this time.
This card really gave her a huge shock.
"So, you came here to watch the sunset these few days just for this card numbered 007. This is the first time we have found a card numbered in the top ten. Lin Yixuan, I apologize to you. I was too anxious before. I didn't know you..."
An Zhiyan has a straightforward personality. Even though it is embarrassing, she still feels wrong and is willing to admit her mistake and apologize.
"It's okay, An Zhiyan. I didn't tell you before because obtaining this card needs to be kept secret. It's like a very sensitive bird. You have to be extra careful to capture it. Fortunately, I succeeded!" Lin Yixuan waved his hand, as if he didn't care about the other party's attitude before.
"An Zhiyan, we have experienced twenty-seven days of imprisonment together. You should know very well who I am. If fighting the days of imprisonment is a war, then it must be a difficult and protracted war. Those with weak minds are destined to not make it to the end. You are the second leader of the Awakener Association. I hope you will not be so impatient in the future."
"Yes, I understand." An Zhiyan is proud and arrogant. She joined the Awakener Association and became the second leader because of her own abilities.
She is very strong, not only in her brain, but also in her means and abilities.
This is also the basis for her arrogance.
But this time, her fighting spirit was dampened, and for the first time she felt ashamed to lift her head in front of Lin Yixuan.
Lin Yixuan didn't say much.
For a proud woman, conquering the other person is also an interesting challenge and process. For him, this is a rare spice in the boring and desperate days of confinement.
At night, in the base of the Awakener Association, a high-end club.
An Zhiyan frowned. She was obviously hit hard today.
She never thought that she was worse than others. Even though Lin Yixuan was indeed very strong, and some even said that he had survived more than two hundred cycles of confinement and had mastered a lot of information that others did not know, An Zhiyan still believed that she was no worse than him.
But today, she was a little shaken.
"How did Lin Yixuan know how to obtain card number 007? Did he discover it himself, or..."
"Sister An!" A woman walked over. She looked younger than An Zhiyan and more like a schoolgirl.
"Xiao Ru, you're here!"
"Sister An, I heard about what happened today. I know that you are not convinced by Lin Yixuan and have always wanted to compete with him. This time, he got the card numbered 007, and his reputation soared. The Shiyi people in the association are also proud of it, and they are all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. But I know that Lin Yixuan may not rely on his own abilities this time." Xiaoru said in a low voice. She was quirky and had the youthful aura unique to girls of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Do you know something?" An Zhiyan turned her head and asked.
She knew the characteristics of Xiaoru's card book, which could be used to bless some exploration cards. After collecting this kind of cards, she would give them to this girl first.
So when it comes to intelligence, Xiaoru is definitely one of the people who knows the most in the Awakener Association.
"Yes, I know Lin Yixuan has a diary." Yu Xiaoru's voice became even lower. Her eyes were bright, and at this moment she looked like a thief squatting at the entrance of the village, preparing to steal a chicken.
"Journal?"
"Yes, but it's not an ordinary diary. It seems to be a diary left by a very powerful person. This person may be the only one who has ever escaped from the day of confinement."
"What?" An Zhiyan was extremely surprised. She couldn't believe what she heard. She suppressed her shock and said, "Xiao Ru, are you saying that someone escaped from the day of confinement?"
"Yes, I also overheard this. You know my card book ability, the Wind in the Ear, using the card [Eavesdrop], can increase the effect to 430% at most. So, I heard Lin Yixuan's conversation. He mentioned this diary and the person who had escaped from the day of imprisonment."
"Do you know who it is?" An Zhiyan looked anxious. She felt her heart beating very fast, as if it was going to jump out of her chest at the next moment. This matter was really very important to her.
Everyone in the Awakener Association is working towards the goal of "escaping from confinement", but this goal seems very vague and empty because there are no actual cases.
But now she knew that someone had really escaped.
But this raises another question.
Since Lin Yixuan knew, why didn’t he say it?
This is obviously a huge incentive for all members of the association.
"I don't know. Lin Yixuan didn't say anything, but he seemed to be talking to himself at the time, muttering someone's name."
"Name? What name?"
"Luo Xi!"
"Luo Xi?" An Zhiyan was also muttering this name and kept it deeply in her heart.
