Chapter 84 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster

Hao Xiuwen is actually an idealist.

Luo Xi, on the other hand, defines himself as a realist masquerading as an idealist.

Hao Xiuwen did know something about the administrator and the "company", but not much, so he couldn't give Luo Xi more information and help.

"Almost done!" Luo Xi stood up.

"Are you leaving?" Hao Xiuwen was not surprised. Except for him, who had some [Memory] cards and liked to live a comfortable life, the other Memory Pickers were very busy. For example, they explored the Day of Confinement, discovered scenes, conquered scenes to obtain cards, or even enjoyed life or did bad things. In short, every day was busy and accompanied by danger.

"Yeah." Luo Xi glanced at the other person and asked, "Before I leave, I want to ask you a question."

"Ask me. If I know, I will definitely tell you."

"Do you remember how many cycles you've experienced?"

"Of course I remember this, and I remember it very clearly." Hao Xiuwen said, "Including this time, it's a total of 43 cycles. I still remember that I decided to open this store on the eighth cycle. I can't say that because I already had this store, but I added the Spider Card business later."

"43 times. Have you heard of my name?" Luo Xi asked again.

"Yes!" As expected, Hao Xiuwen picked up the book "Player's World" on the table and pointed to the word "Author" on it: "Luo Xi, the author of this book."

Luo Xi shook his head.

This was obviously not the answer he expected to hear.

So, I said, "Goodbye!"

Opened the door and walked out.

It was still cloudy outside. This place was not far from Sega Apartment. Just go around the intersection in front and walk down one street to get there.

The alley below Sega Apartments was still under construction, and pedestrians on the road were hurrying. Luo Xi saw a car parked at the intersection ahead. It was Wu Rui's car.

He walked into the apartment building.

What was different from the last time I came was that this time, the table in the hall was empty, there was no telephone or pen.

Of course, there will be no weird winds blowing in contracts for level scenes, or phone reminders from administrators.

This is the characteristic of the cycle day.

The same day repeats over and over again, but every day seems to be different from the previous one.

Occasionally, you would encounter residents here going out, some making phone calls, some taking out the trash. Among them, there were some familiar faces. These people who had died tragically in the previous cycle had been resurrected and had completely forgotten their previous memories.

For them, this was just another new and normal day.

Luo Xi heard someone in the elevator discussing the death of a little girl in the apartment building.

However, it is obvious that they are just hearsay, but people often believe these hearsays as true, and then add their own understanding and polishing, and even distort the facts with the development they hope for, and then spread these changed and polished false information, and they enjoy doing it.

In Luo Xi's opinion, these people are really weird.

When they reached the seventh floor, Luo Xi walked out and heard the sound of children playing. A group of children were playing, including those from Mao Ge's family, Song Yan's family, and Fan Yong's two children. Of course, Wang Shuting was also among them.

Luo Xi walked to the door of Room 712 and was about to knock when the door of Room 710 opened and Song Yan walked out, looking a little tired.

She has lost her memory.

However, her nature will not change. She is still a calculating, cruel and vicious woman.

She looked up at Luo Xi, then told her child to go back and do his homework.

Click!

The door opened, Liu Mao saw Luo Xi and said hurriedly: "You are finally here!"

He slipped into the room and saw Wu Rui and Guo Zening standing up from the sofa, looking at Luo Xi with some excitement.

I didn't see Liu Mao's wife, I guess she was sent out.

After all, what they are discussing now really cannot be known to ordinary "amnesiacs".

"We were just talking about Yanan. It's a pity for her." Wu Rui said at this time.

"What's a pity?" Luo Xi asked. "If Yanan hadn't taken that bus, she might not have encountered the level scene and lost her memory. Her initial card is very practical and can be used in most scenes." Obviously, Wu Rui and Guo Zening were talking about the initial card just now.

Luo Xi had mentioned the card system to Wu Rui before, and Wu Rui had followed him to Hao Xiuwen's place, so naturally she knew a lot.

At present, there seem to be only two ways to produce cards. One is to complete certain tasks in the scene to obtain rewards, including [Memory] obtained by killing other Memory Collectors and randomly drawn cards after passing the level. The other is that every new Memory Collector will generate an initial card.

For example, Wu Rui herself is a [Hidden Place Inside the Door]; Guo Zening is a [Greedy Survivor]; and Zhang Yanan is a [Diplomat].
"There are choices at every stage of life. Some people describe it as a fork in the road of life. Sometimes this choice is active, sometimes it is passive, and even before you realize it exists, you have already missed it. Most of the time, the development of things is not subject to human will. Zhang Yanan's amnesia itself is a high-probability event. Even if it is not a bus, he may encounter the same thing after being trapped in other scenes."

Luo Xi paused and said, "The same principle applies to you, including me, of course. But fortunately, amnesia is not the end. Maybe it is a new beginning!"

No one in the room understood what was said.

And Luo Xi would not explain further.

"Let's sit down and talk." Luo Xi sat on a chair: "We were colleagues before. Although this may be some kind of false setting, at least we are familiar with each other and we started out in the same scene, so we have a natural affinity and trust each other more. It can be understood that we are already a team."

When they heard the word "team", Wu Rui and Guo Zening were both a little excited.

This is an exciting thing to talk about. Of course, as Luo Xi said just now, if they had a choice, they would of course choose a safer and more comfortable life, but in many things there is often no choice.

For example, becoming a 'memory collector'.

Since they knew that this was a fake world they were in, and that there would be endless cycles of days and endless death, any normal person would try to solve this dilemma, for example, find a way to escape from this terrible place, or at least preserve their hard-earned memories.

"I have a preliminary understanding of the Day of Imprisonment. A lot of information can be shared. This is one of the benefits of the team structure. Of course, if any of you have new discoveries, you need to speak up. My request is simple. Do not conceal any possible important clues and intelligence. Also, fully trust the team members."

Luo Xi spoke and everyone else nodded.

Guo Zening clearly wanted to speak, and he could no longer hold back: "Well, Luo Xi, I have a lot to say. I have a lot to share with you about the subway checkpoint scene I experienced last time."

"Wait a moment." Luo Xi stopped Guo Zening who was about to talk nonstop and stood up: "Brother Mao, take me upstairs to take a look. The others stay here."

The reason why Sega Apartment was chosen as a "base" is not only because Luo Xi cleared the level here, but also because the administrator here was punished for a foul and the scene was cancelled.

This logic seems to be fine, but if you understand the situations in other levels and scenes, you will find the problem.

Taking Lao Wang's scenario as an example, according to the young security guard, Lao Wang was fired for violating "company regulations", which is similar to Zhou Xinpeng's case, but in that scenario, the "company" sent a new administrator to continue operating.

Why was the Sega apartment building scene cancelled?
If we look at this issue from the perspective of the "cost-effect" rule, it is obvious that the "one-day worker" scenario is more in line with normal circumstances. The administrator is fired for breaking the rules and is replaced with another one. The only loss is an administrator, but the scenario is still there and can continue to operate.

The situation on 'Sega Apartment Building' is completely different. The administrator is gone, so the scene is directly cancelled?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

So this incident also successfully aroused Luo Xi's curiosity.

Another thing is that Luo Xi also wants to go to Zhou Ya's room to take a look. This is related to a clue he currently has, a name that was mentioned in Zhou Ya's diary.

'Dimension Four'.

Coincidentally, Qiu Kui also mentioned this name, and she said that "Wei Si" had set his sights on her.

Could be an enemy.

But no matter what it is, we must find out the other party's identity.

Without saying a word, Mao Ge took Luo Xi upstairs. On the way, Mao Ge seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Brother Mao, do you have anything to say to me?" Luo Xi asked proactively. He knew that Brother Mao was a very honest person who seldom troubled others. He was usually the one who took the initiative to help others solve problems.

That kind of Big Brother character.

"Yes, there is one thing, but let's go to 809 first."

"Before, Zhou Ya had been taken away by the funeral home, and Lao Zhou also went there. However, when Lao Zhou left, he left the key to his house to me. On weekdays, I had a good relationship with him. In the morning, I went to help, and Lao Zhou cried until he had no tears left. Alas..."

"Where's his wife?"

"I heard he was on a business trip out of town. He should have heard the news, but he certainly won't be back for a while."

At this time, the two had already arrived at the door of Room 809.

Liu Mao stepped forward and opened the door with the key.
