Chapter 78: The Unknown Talk
Chapter 78 A Conversation No One Knows
Half an hour ago, Tun Tun Bookstore, Room 23.
Everyone else had left, and now only Luo Xi and Qiu Kui were left in the room.
And there is Han Lingling's body.
Luo Xi still sat in the chair without moving, and Qiu Kui had no intention of asking anyone to leave. It seemed that the two of them had reached some kind of unspoken understanding at some point in time.
Qiu Kui raised his hand and waved.
The lights in the room immediately began to dim, and in the end, it was almost so dim that one could not see the things around him.
And something weird happened.
There seemed to be some strange noises coming from the vague and dim shadows. The sound gradually grew louder, but soon disappeared.
It was as if something was just passing by.
The lights are back on.
It was still Room 23, nothing had changed, but Han Lingling's body on the floor was gone.
Even the blood on the ground disappeared completely.
Luo Xi broke the silence at this time: "Was that your employee just now?"
Qiu Kui sat next to her, crossed her long legs, and looked at Luo Xi: "I thought you didn't want to talk."
After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked around: "Such a big store, of course I can't take care of it alone, there must be employees, and you have seen quite a few."
"Demon, beast, or angel?" Luo Xi asked.
"Some are external employees and cooperative relationships. Why, you are becoming interested in these things again?" Qiu Kui's words were obviously full of some kind of "probing" and "guiding".
"I used to come here to buy books often, right?" Luo Xi tried to change the subject.
"Oh, that's so polite. Forget it before. I almost forgot that there are some things I can't tell you. After all, my status is different now. I earn more, and of course, there are more rules." Qiu Kui said something inexplicable. Maybe she realized something herself and said, "As a memory collector who participated in the bookstore level scene, you have already passed the level and it's time to leave. Why are you still hanging around?"
"I understand!" Luo Xi stood up.
Just then, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
This time it was completely extinguished, without even a trace of light left.
In an instant, the room fell into absolute darkness, and the next moment Luo Xi felt someone approaching him.
Very close.
Their bodies were almost touching and their faces were almost touching.
Rumble~
Luo Xi actually heard a strange noise coming from the surrounding, like thunder, but much smaller than thunder. It was as if the room was suddenly covered by something, as if covered by dozens of layers of quilts.
The person who was cheek to cheek with him had a scent about him.
Without a doubt, it’s okra!
"Luo Xi, why did you come back? Why did you come back?"
Qiu Kui's voice sounded. She spoke very quietly and hurriedly. Even though the two of them were close together at the moment, she still spoke in the smallest voice, as if she was afraid that someone might hear it.
Luo Xi didn't know how to answer this question.
And the key point is, the word 'come back'.
Hui corresponds to 'go'.
Only when you have been somewhere can you talk about coming back.
"Do you think I'm back? Maybe I never left at all." Luo Xi gave a response.
Qiu Kuro on the opposite side was obviously stunned.
There followed a few seconds of silence, evidently pondering the implications of this answer.
"No, it's impossible. I saw you leave with my own eyes. Also, does what you promised me no longer count?" Qiu Kui's voice was filled with anger, unwillingness, fear and despair.
You can tell that she really wants an answer.
But unfortunately, Luo Xi couldn't give any answer.
Because he was also thinking about this matter, not only what the other party said, but also the things that made him feel incredible, such as, "I saw you leave with my own eyes", "what you promised me". Unfortunately, Luo Xi didn't know these. Maybe he knew them before, but he forgot them.
He only remembered that this was his third cycle as a memory collector. In addition to these questions, Luo Xi also needed to judge the other party's intentions and the truthfulness of what they said.
At this time, he could only make assumptions.
Assume it is true, or, assume it is a lie.
The directions of the two branches are obviously completely different. At the same time, there will be other branches behind the two directions. In this way, a huge network of assumptions is formed, and eventually a maze is formed. It is easy to get stuck in a dead end during this inference process and get completely lost in it.
However, for Luo Xi, this level of mental maze does not pose any threat to him.
"If you saw me leaving, and now I'm back, it means there must be a reason for me to come back. As for the things I promised you, if they exist, the promise is still valid. If they don't exist, of course they are invalid."
Essentially, this answers, but also doesn’t answer.
To some people with poor comprehension, this is simply perfunctory.
But the strange thing is that Qiu Kui was actually very satisfied with this answer.
"I understand, Luo Xi. In the countless days of the past, I chose to believe in you unconditionally, and in the days of the future, I will still do so, as always."
Rumble~
The strange muffled thunder outside increased in volume.
Qiu Kui was obviously very nervous at this time. She doubled her speed and said, "I will wait for your next instruction. Also, Wei Si has already set his sights on you. Be careful."
Having said that, she immediately stepped back.
Two seconds later, the strange noise disappeared and the lights in the room came back on.
Qiu Kui still sat elegantly on the chair opposite. She smiled helplessly and said, "Perhaps, I should close the bookstore for a few days and inspect the circuit here. It actually broke down at this time. Why don't you leave? Are you attracted to me?"
A red-haired woman with flaming red lips and a provocative look is enough to create psychological ripples in any man.
Luo Xi looked the other person up and down and said: "I still prefer light makeup."
After saying that, he walked out.
At the door, the fat man Qian Lejin was sitting on the steps, drinking soda. He looked at the road in front of him with lifeless eyes, and it was unclear whether he was looking at the scenery or the people.
"Hey, Fatty, didn't you come out a long time ago? Why haven't you left yet? Are you waiting for someone?"
"Luo Ju, I'm sure you've seen that I'm quite capable. I'm really good at boxing. If I had worn spiked brass knuckles, that sturdy old lady would have been knocked down by me. Really. And I'm very loyal. To put it bluntly, I'm very loyal and I can definitely help you."
Qian Lejin kept promoting himself all the way.
Because before this, Luo Xizhen rejected the fat man just as Qiu Kui said.
"I'm not bragging, I just don't have any good cards. If I had a card that could increase my strength, that old lady wouldn't be able to beat me even if I let her use one hand."
"Leave me your phone number." Probably thinking of the person named Aunt Qin rushing towards him and Fatty Qian trying his best to stand in front of him, Luo Xi finally gave in and Fatty Qian hurriedly gave out his phone number.
Luo Xi also told the other party his number.
"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of attacking Tuntun Bookstore?" Luo Xi asked at this time.
Qian Lejin immediately said, "This scene is famous. I asked around and heard that if you're lucky, you can get some reward cards, so I came to try my luck."
Luo Xi had heard Yu Xiaoru mention before that the Tun Tun Bookstore level scene was very famous.
"Where did you find out?"
"Time Gathering House!" Qian Lejin said, looking at Luo Xi's expression, and suddenly asked back: "Luo Ju, you don't know about Time Gathering House, do you?"
Luo Xi shook his head: "I really don't know."
"Then let me tell you, in fact, just like the Awakener Association, it is an organization formed by a group of people who have recovered memories. Some of these organizations focus on conquering various levels and scenes to collect cards, while others just lie down and enjoy the days of confinement. Hey, don't be surprised, there are many such people. Think about it, on the cycle day, except for the cards and the preserved memories, everything else will be 'reset', even the dead can be resurrected, and the destroyed buildings will be restored, so many people start to do the things they wanted to do in the past but didn't dare to do."
"For example, jumping off a building. Really, this is not surprising. Some people are just curious about what it feels like to jump off a building, so after obtaining the [Memory] card, some people climb to the top of the tallest building and jump off."
"This is all normal. There are some people who do things that I am embarrassed to talk about, such as group sex between men and women. My God, what are they thinking? I can't understand it. There are even more perverted ones."
"Let's talk about the Time Assembly Hall!" Luo Xi corrected in time, otherwise, the fat man would talk nonsense all day.
"Oh, yes. Some organizations are for collecting cards and conquering levels and scenes, such as the Awakener Association, which is recognized as powerful. Unable to compete in this aspect, other organizations have changed their tracks, such as setting up a gathering place for the memory collectors to gather together, exchange information, trade cards, and act as guarantors. Some people will issue tasks and hire some powerful memory collectors to help them do things, including killing people. To put it bluntly, that place is a platform."
"The Time Assembly Hall is not far from here. I've been there before. There are ordinary and high-end venues. The ordinary venue is free, and you can enter by showing any card. For the high-end venue, you need to pay a [Memory] card as a ticket. Luo Ju, if you want to go, I can take you there."
