Chapter 118 Occupational Card
Chapter 118 Occupational Card
The people in the mirror are all 'Luo Xi'.
In other words, his various personalities.
There were so many of them that Luo Xi himself didn't know how many there were. Moreover, among these personalities, he only remembered a few, and had no impression of many of the others.
But one thing is certain, any personality in the mirror will be defeated by him.
"Long time no see, let's chat." Luo Xi, who was wearing glasses, was still gentle and refined, just like a gentleman.
In addition to the glasses Luo Xi, there is also the strong and swearing Luo Xi, the skinny Luo Xi, the shaved Luo Xi, the Luo Xi in a skirt and smoky makeup.
For some people, if you don’t see them, you can’t even remember that such a personality exists.
"I'm busy!"
Luo Xi refused directly.
The glasses-wearing Luo Xi on the other side immediately said, "Wait a minute, aren't you curious why that guy ran away in fear without even competing?"
Luo Xi raised his eyes and glanced at the glasses Luo Xi in the mirror.
"Do you know why?"
"Of course I know. After all, we are all in the mirror, and you can't get in here."
Hearing this, Luo Xi frowned.
Glasses Luo Xi suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately said: "We can help you catch that guy back!"
"No need!"
After Luo Xi finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked out without any hesitation.
This obviously surprised the 'Luo Xi' in the mirror.
"He found out?"
"Impossible, how could he know?"
"It must have been discovered. What a pity. What a good opportunity."
"It doesn't matter. Stay calm. There will be opportunities again as long as we are patient enough!"
In the mirror, calm returned, all the figures disappeared, the desk lamp on the table stopped flickering, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
Luo Xi went down to the first floor.
He glanced at the old man, and the old man looked at him as well.
"Haha, it seems that you didn't pass the second level." The old man smiled.
Luo Xi said nothing and walked out of the chess club.
Fatty Qian followed immediately.
"Luo Ju, is the chess piece above a bit difficult?"
Apparently Fatty Qian didn't know what was going on upstairs. He just noticed that Luo Xi didn't seem to have passed this scene.
Luo Xi did not answer this question, but asked: "What is the professional deck you told me about before?"
"This!" Fatty Qian suddenly became excited. "Speaking of which, I've heard of professional card decks before, but I didn't know the ropes. In fact, there are also levels in the circle of memory collectors. Those who have never obtained a card ring are collectively called newcomers, also called rookies. This kind of memory collector is very likely to lose their memory again, and there are the most of them. The next level is those who have cleared three scenes cumulatively and obtained card rings and card books. There is also an even higher level, which is to prepare a professional card deck. To put it simply, it's a bit like collecting different cards according to a fixed formula, and then you can combine them into a professional card, and the professional card can be placed in the card book, which is equivalent to allowing the memory collector to obtain certain special extraordinary abilities!"
Fatty Qian was very excited when he heard this.
Luo Xi understood.
"Where did the deck recipe come from?"
"You can get it in certain levels. Of course, you can also go to the Time Assembly Hall, or exchange it in large organizations like the Awakener Association, as long as you can afford the 'price'."
"So, you know the combination formula of a certain professional card?" Luo Xi saw why Fatty Qian was so happy.
"Nothing can be hidden from Luo Ju. The big guy over there, Liang Qu, and I hit it off right away. I learned a formula from him, and it matches me very well. It's a career card called [Boxer]. The formula is two [Strengthen Physical Fitness] cards, a weapon item [Boxing Gloves], and the biological card [Mr. Kangaroo] can be synthesized. The method of synthesis is to enter the 'Tuntun Boxing Gym' before 13 o'clock in the morning on each cycle day, put the card on the formula in locker No. , close the door, and then open it, and you can get the [Boxer] career card."
Fatty Qian really didn't guard against Luo Xi and basically told him everything he knew.
After listening to this, Luo Xi pondered for a while.
"So, it is almost impossible to find the career card formula you need by your own strength. This is the key. Moreover, it is not easy to obtain the cards required for the formula by your own strength."
Luo Xi understood.
Why did this fat guy Qian call me over?
This guy really cares about himself.
Firstly, he intended to win over Liang Qiu, and secondly, it was also to help himself expand his circle of friends and connections, because in order to collect suitable professional card formulas and the cards required for the formulas, having more people is definitely more advantageous than having fewer people.
In short, the Day of Imprisonment is not a place where you can truly "pass" it by fighting alone.
"Let's talk about Liang Qu." Luo Xi said.
Fatty Qian said quickly: "Brother Qu is a good man. I am not being sarcastic. This is an absolute compliment. He is really loyal and doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve."
A construction worker with little education relies on his hard work to support his family, pay for his children's schooling, and provide medical care for his elderly parents. He carries the weight of an ordinary family on his shoulders.
However, although he does not have a high level of education, he is gifted and has a strong physique.
Coupled with years of training on the construction site, he is extremely strong.
According to Fatty Qian, Liang Qu passed the initial level scene entirely because of his great strength and powerful combat power. Moreover, he did not pass the level by his own strength, but because other Memory Pickers wanted to kill him, so he killed them in return and took the [Memory] card. In this way, in the initial level scene, he relied entirely on his almost overwhelming strength to kill other Memory Pickers who wanted to harm him and seize the card.
Finally, I completed the game after understanding the mechanism of the Day of Imprisonment.
"Ball brother is a tough guy!" Fatty Qian said seriously, as if he was explaining his dream: "Luo Ju, in terms of intelligence, you are No. 1 in my mind. If anyone can think of how to escape from the Day of Confinement, who can find the almost non-existent number 000, I think there is no one else but you, not even that Lin Yixuan. But when it comes to force, I have never been convinced by others, but Ball brother is really amazing. He may be the ceiling of human combat power during the Day of Confinement, so I want to bring the two of them together, with the strongest brain plus the strongest force. Only in this way can we escape."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "Because I know myself, it won't work if I rely on myself, so I knew from the beginning that if I want to escape, I have to cling to someone, but I can't cling blindly."
"Let's talk business!" Luo Xi interrupted the other party's sigh.
"Oh, yes, Brother Qiu joined the Awakener Association. He actually had the same idea as me, that is, to rely on the big tree and contribute his own strength. Only in this way can he escape from the days of confinement. However, he said that dozens of cycles have passed, but he can't see any hope at all. In addition, their leader, Lin Yixuan, doesn't seem to care about this matter, especially recently. He doesn't care about the affairs of the association at all. It's all supported by An Zhiyan. You have seen her. She was at Tuntun Bookstore this morning."
"Her, I remember!"
"Then let me continue. Lin Yixuan promised Ball Brother something, but he never did it, which made Ball Brother very disappointed. After I knew about it, I thought, if you, Luo Ju, can help Ball Brother with this, maybe he will work hard for you!"
"what's up?"
"Save his wife and children!"
Liang Qu smiled and handed the phone to Luo Xi. He said, "Actually, I've let it go. Some things are not what I want them to be, that is... Fatty Qian said you are amazing and praised you to the skies. Actually, I admire you scholars. I'm not smart, not that type of person. My daughter is good at studying, that is... Oh, it's okay, don't worry. It doesn't matter if I can't help you. Just take a look first."
For some people, the more they say they don’t care or that it doesn’t matter, the more it actually shows that they care.
In fact, this Liang Qu is just like what Fatty Qian said, he can't even lie.
Luo Xi looked at the chat history on his phone. It said "Wife".
The previous chat records took place outside the days of confinement, that is, the real "yesterday", and the content was some simple care, greetings, and sent videos and photos.
And in the early morning, around four o'clock, two voice messages came in.
One is thirteen seconds, the other is only five seconds.
Luo Xi clicked on the thirteen-second voice message.
"Dad, help, where are you, there is a fire here, Dad, wuwuwuwu, please come and save us"
The background sound is noisy and chaotic.
Moreover, the sound of the child crying occupied a large part of the time, and it could be heard that it was the voice of a little girl.
She should be Liang Qu's daughter.
Luo Xi glanced at the other person, whose eyes were red, but he still said, "It's okay, I've heard it countless times, and I'm used to it."
So Luo Xi clicked on the second voice message.
This time, there was no sound, and the place was still chaotic and noisy.
Then it was gone.
It seemed like he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
After that, there was a series of failed call notifications. It was estimated that Liang Qu found the voice message and called back anxiously, but the other party did not answer.
"Every day, I wake up at 6:11 in the morning. There is no way to wake up earlier. No matter what I do, I can't wake up earlier. Every time, I can only watch this voice message coming to me, and every time, I try to call back."
Liang Qu couldn't continue speaking.
He looked up at the sky and said nothing.
Fatty Qian next to him also had a serious expression. This guy was laughing and scolding most of the time and was very frivolous. But when it came time to be serious, he was more serious than anyone else.
Luo Xi was looking through the chat records.
He has no empathy and will not feel any sympathy. The [Absolute Rationality] card is placed in the card book. The power of the card is affecting him, so that he can focus on extracting clues and ignore all factors that can affect his emotions.
Judging from the chat records, Liang Qu and his wife have a very good relationship. They contact each other almost every day in the past, and they also send each other some pictures, videos, and various emoticons.
The child will use his mother's mobile phone to send voice messages to his father, and he enjoys it very much. Sometimes he will send more than ten messages in a row, with contents such as 'What is Dad doing', 'When will you come back to see us', 'The teacher praised me today' and so on.
A few minutes later, Luo Xi looked up: "Find a map."
Fatty Qian went to look for it immediately and quickly got one. It was very worn out. Luo Xi remembered having seen it on the wall of the chess club before.
Fatty, he actually got the map from someone else’s wall.
"We are in Tuntun City, and your wife and children are in Gugu County, which is 430 kilometers away and only takes half a day to drive there. Have you tried to get there?"
Luo Xi looked at Liang Qu.
The latter nodded: "The one with the surname Lin is Lin Yixuan, the leader of the Awakener Association, known as the most powerful brain among the Memory Retrievers. Hehe, he asked me to drive to look for him, but..."
When Liang Qu said this, a look of fear appeared on his face.
You have to know that before this, this rough man has always been careless. He might suddenly become emotional because of certain things, but he has never been afraid of anything.
But at this time, the fear on his face was hard to conceal.
"What happened to you?" Luo Xi asked.
"I'm dead!" Liang Qu replied.
"What? Dead?"
"Yes, I died. Actually, I don't know how I died. I drove to the edge of the city, but the next moment I suddenly woke up."
"Woke up?" Luo Xi immediately understood what the other party meant: "Have you entered the next cycle day?"
"Yes!" Liang Qu nodded.
"How many times?" Luo Xi asked immediately.
"Many times, they discovered my abnormality and stopped me. Otherwise, I might have continued to try. At that time, I seemed to be trapped in some unclear state. I was like a madman, constantly trying again and again, and each time I would consume a [Memory]. If Lao Pu hadn't discovered and stopped me, I would have lost my memory."
Liang Qu didn't actually encounter anything terrible, he just couldn't leave the city. Every time he entered a certain location, he would enter the next cycle day.
But if you just think about this kind of thing, you will feel terrified.
Moreover, the more I think about it, the more scared I become.
"I tried many ways, many directions, but all failed. No matter how I tried, the result was the same. We couldn't even get out of the city."
"So, you think that if you leave this city, you will die?"
"That's the only explanation, and that's what Lin said." Liang Qu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "After that, Lin told me that maybe my wife and children didn't exist at all, or that they were not trapped in the Day of Confinement. But I don't think that's right, because my girl did send me a voice message on her phone, and I could tell it was her, my daughter."
"So, you started to hate Lin Yixuan because of this incident?" Luo Xi asked.
"No, I'm not that petty. I understand that we should be reasonable." Liang Qu said, and his tone suddenly rose a few degrees: "But, Mr. Lin killed Old Pu. I can't forgive him for this."
Luo Xi didn't care about Lao Pu's death.
Because they don't know each other at all.
"But people from other cities do exist." Luo Xi remembered that he had watched the news, which contained reports about other cities and even the international situation.
"But, we have indeed not found any memory restorers in other cities. The Awakener Association has investigated this matter specifically, and it is still ongoing. We can see news from other cities, and we can contact them, but they are all amnesiacs, not memory restorers. We have not found any. The person in charge of this matter in the Awakener Association is Mr. Gu, he is a scholar. If you have a chance, you can ask him, you will definitely get along well."
"Well, you should have contacted your acquaintances there, but to no avail, right?" Luo Xi asked.
"Yes, I tried everything I could think of, but strangely enough, I couldn't get in touch with any of the people I knew there." Liang Qu was puzzled by this matter: "I even called the radio station and newspapers there to ask them to help find someone and call the police, but even though they accepted the case, there was no result. By the next cycle day, everything was in vain."
"In that case, let's give up for now." Luo Xi said at this time.
He stood up and clapped his hands.
Liang Qu frowned: "Give up? You want me to give up? They are my wife and children, they are my family, how can I give up?"
"But you can only give up. And as I said, it's only temporary. I guess Lin Yixuan would have the same suggestion. Instead of dwelling on an outcome that cannot be changed, it's better to think of a way to break the Day of Confinement. In addition, sometimes you need to change your perspective when considering a problem. For example, if your wife and children are not on the Day of Confinement, then everything you hear and see is false. On the other hand, if your wife and children are also on the Day of Confinement, then they, like us, will inevitably follow this almost endless cycle and reincarnation. As long as they still exist, there is still hope for a reunion."
Liang Qu looked solemn and said nothing.
Just like he said before, he understood the logic, but it was difficult for him to accept the result.
Luo Xi thought about it and turned back and said, "Of course, this is the best choice. If you are still obsessed with this, then you can try not to carry your [memory] and try to leave this city and go to Gugu County. Of course, you will become an amnesiac, because I guess that in order to reach another city, you must become an 'amnesiac'."
