Chapter 57: A Strange New Book

Luo Xi opened his eyes suddenly. He reached out and picked up the fully charged mobile phone next to him and checked the time. It was July 29th, Monday, 6:09 in the morning.

The third cycle of the Day of Imprisonment.

it has started.

The room was silent.

Luo Xi got up and went to take a look at his mother's room next door.

The house was empty.

Obviously, Xu Lin left and started to carry out another task assigned by him or his past.

"Why would I arrange a hidden person to monitor myself?"

After getting rid of the crazy and chaotic state of the cleaner, Luo Xi finally began to really think about the problem. It was obvious that there were more problems that needed to be explored and solved.

"It may also be to lure out the people from the Eternal Society. If this is the case, the people from the Eternal Society have actually been eyeing me for a long time. Maybe not only here, but also in the company, there are people watching me. Of course, it may not be the Memory Collector who has always been in the scene, but it may be an outsider."

Luo Xi immediately located several people.

The delivery guy who brought him medicine, and Officer Song who was investigating the death.

These are outsiders.

However, there is no need to investigate along this line now. Luo Xi has already passed the initial level scene. So, if there is really someone monitoring him, he would have known the fact that he has become a memory collector.

As for why they wanted to 'monitor' him, Luo Xi didn't know now.

But he was quite sure that it wouldn't be long before he figured this out.

Buzz, buzz~
The phone vibrated; there was an incoming call.

Luo Xi picked it up and took a look.

connected.

"Luo Xi, I'm coming to see you."

It’s Wu Rui.

"Go to Tuntun Primary School first to pick up Wang Shuting. Uh, if it's too early, then don't go to school, go to her home, Building 8 in the community, the one that burned down. If you go at this time, the scene should not be activated yet, so there will be no danger. Pick up Wang Shuting and don't hesitate, send her to Brother Mao's home immediately." Luo Xi ordered.

"Okay." Wu Rui didn't ask any more questions.

Just hung up the phone.

Guo Zening called.

After Luo Xi answered the call, he heard the other party's anxious voice.

"Luo Xi, Luo Xi, I want to look for you, but I don't dare to take the subway. I might as well take a taxi. Are you still at home? Listen to me, I'm really f**king him. You don't know what happened to me on the subway before. I'm going crazy. Damn it, wuwuwu, wuwuwuwu~"

As he was talking, he actually started crying.

And she cried so hard that she lost her voice, and while crying, she cursed and shouted hysterically.

Guo Zening is obviously the type of person who has experienced an outburst of fear and repressed emotions after experiencing something that makes him collapse and go crazy. He needs to release them, and shouting, crying and swearing are very effective means of venting.

So Luo Xi did not interrupt the other party's venting, but when Brother Mao called, Luo Xi simply answered Brother Mao's call temporarily and told Brother Mao to go to 809 immediately to see the situation over there. He also reminded him to be careful and said that Wu Rui would bring a girl to his house in a while and asked him to treat her well. Then he hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, on the phone, Guo Zening was obviously much calmer after venting his anger.

"We can talk about what happened on the subway when we meet. After you hang up, call Brother Mao and ask for his address. Then take a taxi to his place. We will meet at Brother Mao's house later. Right now, Brother Mao's house is a safe zone."

After Luo Xi gave some instructions, he hung up the phone.

Among the people who came out of the first level scene, Zhang Yanan was the only one who did not call.

This means that she did die in the bus explosion.

Then I lost my memory.

On a new cycle day, the other party will forget everything that happened before, and then get up happily, go to work and experience the level scenes designed by Lao Wang, and then be killed by the cleaner Feng Kai.
It goes on and on, like a death loop that there is no escape.

Perhaps on a certain day in the cycle, Zhang Yanan will once again become a person who regains memory in that level scene, but for most people, becoming a person who regains memory only doubles the pain and despair they endure.

Luo Xi flipped his hand, took out his [Card Ring], materialized it, and put it on his finger. Bang~
After a snap of his fingers, the strange card album with six crowded faces on the cover appeared in his hands.

I opened it and took a look. There were already quite a few cards stored in it, but in fact, compared with the 999 capacity of the card book, it was still far from enough.

Luo Xi obviously has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He stores the cards in pages completely according to their types, so that he can ensure that he can find the cards he needs at the first time.

First I looked at [Memory].

This type of card is the most numerous one he currently owns.

During the days of confinement, this is also the currency recognized by the Memory Collectors. [Memory] can be exchanged with other Memory Collectors for different types of cards.

Flip through the card book.

Luo Xi touched the two pieces of [Mana] with his fingers, and behind the Mana was a piece of [Exorcism].

The reason why these three cards are put together is because the [Exorcism] card requires two [Mana] to activate. Although Luo Xi has not used it yet, he estimates that the effect and power of this card should not be bad.

Next is the rookie gift pack card that Luo Xi received after becoming a Memory Collector, [Ebbinghaus's Pen]. This card can be seen as two [Memories].

"As far as we know, every amnesiac who randomly obtains the identity of a memory restorer in their initial scene due to insufficient number of memory restorers in the scene will receive a newcomer gift pack, that is, a card. However, it seems that some people have received two cards. This initial card varies from person to person. Therefore, there are two possibilities. One is randomly generated, and the other is fixed. In other words, a person will obtain a fixed type of card after passively becoming a memory restorer."

Luo Xi talked to himself. There was a small mirror on his desk. In the mirror, there were several eerie figures.

"When a new player clears a scene three times, they will receive their own exclusive [Card Ring] numbered 099. The card ring can be materialized into a card book. There are different types of card books, and basically all of them have their own 'features'. For example, my card book currently has two features. One is to combine two random cards into a card numbered 041, [Lie]; the other is an invisible card directly existing in the card book, numbered 016, [Absolute Reason]."

"So, these are the two known ways to 'create' cards. During the days of imprisonment, will there be other ways to 'give birth' to cards? If so, what will they be? If not, will the card numbered 000 that Hao Xiuwen mentioned also only be produced through these two ways?"

Luo Xi rubbed his face.

This action seemed to give him a sense of relaxation.

"But if that's the case, then other than the corresponding person and the corresponding card book, it's almost impossible for anyone else to obtain the [Escape] card numbered 000. If this card is the key to escaping from confinement, then most people have no chance of escaping this place at all."

"According to the rules we knew on the day of imprisonment, fairness, equal exchange, etc., this possibility definitely does not exist, because in that case, unless you are extremely lucky, it is impossible to get 000."

"So, there must be other ways to get cards. This makes sense. At least, there must be other ways to get the card numbered 000."

Luo Xi was flipping through his card book at this time. At this moment, the card book was floating in the air, as if it had some kind of anti-gravity device. Luo Xi tried it and found that after summoning the card book, even if he ran, jumped, and moved quickly, the card book would move with him at a relative speed.

Fantastic.

His fingers passed over [Remove Curse], [Reason], [Kurapika's Sword of Control], [Bloody Hammer], and finally landed on his [Ebbinghaus Pen], pulled out the card, and examined it carefully.

"Hermann Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist, was born in Barmen, Germany. In 1890, he co-founded the Journal of Psychology and Sensory Physiology with others. He devoted his life to experimental psychology research on memory and published the book On Memory in 1885."

"So, is this a coincidence? Why is my initial card [Ebbinghaus's Pen] named after a psychologist?"

Luo Xi looked at the cards in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Suppose this is not a coincidence, but a pre-written 'script', or 'program'. In other words, after I become a Memory Collector, I will definitely get this card. Then, this card must have a special meaning."

At this time, Luo Xi turned his head, stood up and walked towards the bookcase in his room.

Modern people like to build a bookcase when decorating their homes, and fill it with all kinds of books, even if they never read them.

It is a symbol, a decoration.

But Luo Xi is different.

He really has read all the books in it.

At least that's how he remembered it. He could even pick up a random book and open any page and memorize it.

His bookcase is of old style, with doors inlaid with glass, which are wiped very clean. When you open the door, a unique smell of book pages will come out.

Luo Xi likes this taste very much.

The bookcase was very deep, and the books inside seemed like some kind of precious collections. Luo Xi reached out and pulled out the book "Memory".

But when Luo Xi took the book, he was stunned.

The expression was extremely strange.

Because the book "Memory" in his hand is very new, the kind of new book that has never been flipped through since it was bought.
