Chapter 58 The Power of Lies

Chapter 58 The Power of Lies

Chapter 58 The Power of Lies
As far as Luo Xi could remember, he had read all the books in the bookcase, and more than once.

It is easy to distinguish between frequently read books and new books.

"So, this is actually a fake home. Maybe, I don't live here at all. I just chose this place more than 30 days ago, before I lost my memory, and forged a home. Then, the memory of my mother may not be true. Then what is real around me? I am simply surrounded by lies."

Suddenly, Luo Xi was stunned.

"Wait, lies"

He held the "Memory" and turned to look at his card collection album.

Then, Luo Xi quickly used two [Memory] cards to combine and transform a [Lie] card numbered 041.

Looking at this card, Luo Xi murmured: "Lies are derived from reality but are higher than reality. When you master it, you can even distort reality. At this moment, it has completely been upgraded to art."

He squinted.

"According to my previous speculation, the card rings vary from person to person, and the card rings and card collection books that a person can obtain are also fixed. So, if my past self existed, then the other party must have the same card collection book and the same 'characteristic' abilities. So, is this the power of [lies]?"

"However, the effect of the [Lie] card can only last until noon. How do you explain this?"

"Unless. Ha, I understand. In the card system, there must be a card that can increase the effect of [Lie]. In other words, there is a great possibility that I, deceived myself."

When Luo Xi muttered to himself to this point, he laughed, and laughed like a complete madman.

Luo Xi's projection on the glass of the bookcase door did not dare to say a word at this moment.

In this laughter, the originally eerie figures were now trembling and shaking.

Ten minutes later, Luo Xi walked out of the room.

Downstairs, the morning light squeezed in from the gaps between the buildings and sprinkled on my body, seeming to bring some kind of vitality and vigor.

Luo Xi still ate porridge and fried cakes at the breakfast stall at the street corner not far away, then carried his bag and hailed a taxi.

"Master, go to Xiaotun East Road!"

"Young man, go to work."

"No, I'm going to buy some books."

The taxi driver turned on the radio, and the host on the radio was reporting on traffic conditions and some hot news.

Everything was normal at first, but when we were about to arrive, an emergency was reported on the radio.

".Suddenly, a bus in this city exploded while driving, causing many casualties"

"We have verified that the bus involved in the accident was No. 45, which was on Beijiang Bridge. The road involved has been completely blocked. Drivers nearby are requested to take a detour in time. We will continue to follow up and report on the follow-up situation!"

"Oh my god, this is a big deal." The driver was also shocked after hearing the broadcast: "Beijiang Bridge, I just came from Beijiang Bridge."

You can see that he looks scared.

Luo Xi scanned the code and paid with an expressionless face, then got out of the car.

He walked alone on the road with his bag on his back, crossed the overpass, and in front of him was a large bookstore.

Tun Tun Bookstore!

When he arrived at the door of the bookstore, it was five minutes to seven.

Normally, the bookstore would not be open at this time. The sign at the entrance of the bookstore stated the business hours: 10:00 a.m. to 21:00 p.m. But at this moment, there were already several people waiting in front of the bookstore.

The reason why he came here was because Luo Xi discovered that many of the books in his home bookcase were bought from a place called "Tuntun Bookstore".

Inside the book "Memory" was a receipt with the name of the bookstore on it.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but on the page with the receipt, there was a famous quote that Luo Xi liked very much.

'The things that are most firmly remembered are the things that we are most determined to forget.'

There is another sentence next to it: 'Memories are just links in the brain. The memories we recall after the fact are fragile and can be easily distorted.'

This sentence is like some kind of "warning".

Luo Xi immediately thought of the ability of the [Lie] card. Apparently, memory can be affected and distorted by lies.

Since this book was bought from Tun Tun Bookstore and was specially inserted in this book, Luo Xi had reason to believe that this was a very important "clue".

The book is in the schoolbag.

Luo Xi looked at the people waiting at the door of the bookstore. The number, gender, appearance and approximate age were like a string of data that flashed through Luo Xi's mind at an extremely fast speed.

In addition, some of these people were clearly wearing 'card rings'.

“They are all Shiyi people!”

This judgment is just speculation, but Luo Xi estimates that the result should be roughly the same.

There is no difference between those who have regained their memory and those who have lost their memory, except for the card ring. However, unless they are veterans who are truly familiar with the Day of Imprisonment, the newcomers and prospective newcomers among those who have regained their memory will have a common problem.

A condition called 'restlessness'.

There were a few people at the door, clearly showing signs of uneasiness.

It is reflected in the eyes, expressions, movements and behaviors.
However, there were also people who looked very calm, as if they were just ordinary people who were really waiting for the bookstore to open.

Three of them stood out.

All three are women.

The difference is that two of them are extremely beautiful, one is an intellectual beauty, one is a well-behaved little loli, and the other is a middle-aged woman with broad shoulders, a round waist and a fat face.

He looks just like a wrestler, a heavyweight one at that.

The old lady with a face full of flesh in Luo Xi's eyes glanced at the people at the door, shook her head, and whispered: "Stupid, they probably heard the news from somewhere else and wanted to try their luck and gain benefits, but they don't know how dangerous it is here!"

"Aunt Qin, they just want to preserve their memories and want to 'survive' in this terrible place. In essence, they are no different from us." An Zhiyan had an indifferent expression. She wore a baseball cap, a sports suit, and a small backpack. She was not wearing any makeup, but even so, her tall figure, perfect body proportions and facial features made her a top-notch beauty.

"Xiao An, has anyone told me that the tone of your voice is becoming more and more like Lin Yixuan?" Aunt Qin said at this time.

"Is there?" An Zhiyan frowned.

"Indeed, they are a little bit similar, but I feel that Sister An has become more mature and calm, which is in line with the style of the second-in-command of our Awakening Association." The girl next to her who looked like a high school student said in a low voice with a smile.

"Xiao Ru, you are getting better and better at speaking." Aunt Qin smiled with a hint of kindness in her eyes.

"Thank you Aunt Qin for the compliment!" The girl named Xiaoru smiled obediently, and then said: "But, Sister An, you used to be quite cheerful and lively. In the past few days, you have indeed changed a lot. Is it because of too much pressure?"

"How can there be no pressure here? And I always feel that Lin Yixuan has been very strange recently. Xiaoru, I can't understand why he chose to hide the thing you told me last time."

"Maybe, Sister An, you can go ask him. You are the second in command."

"I've already asked."

"Ah?" Xiaoru was obviously stunned, with a very surprised expression: "Sister An, have you asked?"

"Yes, I think there is a problem and I have to ask it out. It makes me uncomfortable to hide it." An Zhiyan said with a smile.

"Then, how did he answer?" This time, it was Xiaoru who looked curious and eager to know the answer.

"He said that man cheated him and cheated everyone!"

"???What's the meaning?"

"I don't know and I don't understand. I kept asking but he didn't explain. You know Lin Yixuan's personality. If he doesn't want to say it, no one can get anything out of him." An Zhiyan looked frustrated at this time.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Aunt Qin's big, fleshy face was full of question marks.

"Aunt Qin, please stop asking. This is a high-level secret. If it is a secret, you can't ask nonsense." Xiaoru said coquettishly. Aunt Qin suddenly realized, "Oh, then I won't ask. I don't understand those complicated things. I have a bad brain since I was a child. My dad said that I was not good at studying. I remember that when I was a child, I didn't get more than 50 points in math exams. After the exam, I was always chased and beaten in the yard."

"Auntie, you've said this eight hundred times, eight hundred times."

Jingle Bell!
At this time, the door of Tuntun Bookstore was pushed open, and a female clerk with dyed red hair walked out.

She was obviously wearing makeup, smoky eyes, flaming red lips, and a black uniform, giving off a Gothic sense of mystery and decadence.

"Welcome to Tun Tun Bookstore. I am the store manager Qiu Kui. The bookstore scene will be open at 7:00 a.m. Customers who want to enter the scene, please come and sign the contract. I suggest you read the scene rules in the contract carefully. It will be good for you. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion, you can choose to ignore it."

As she spoke, the female clerk who called herself Qiu Kui glanced at the people in front of the door. She seemed to be quickly observing each participant, with her eyes staying on each person for no more than a second. When she glanced at An Zhiyan and the other three people, she nodded.

"Hey, they look familiar. Did they come here to challenge that card?"

At the same time, she carefully observed the other people standing behind her and shook her head: "As for the others, it's no good. Why are they trying to die?"

Her eyes continued to scan quickly, and the next moment, she saw Luo Xi.

In an instant, her expression froze and she was stunned.
