Chapter 166 [Mental Patient]

Luo Xi had a psychological expectation of what he would touch in the opened grid. Touching a human face was completely within his expectations, and it was one of the least challenging possibilities he had imagined.

It's like you thought your opponent was going to prepare a big move, but you found out that he just pooped a big one.

Somewhat disappointed.

"Hello there!"

The face in the grid actually whispered, with a normal and quite polite tone.

It was a normal greeting, but in this environment, it was obviously morbid and abnormal. Fortunately, Luo Xi was not a normal person either.

"I'm fine, how about you?" It was like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time exchanging insincere greetings.

"No, I'm waiting for someone." The person in the closet said, with a hint of helplessness and complaint in his tone.

"Waiting is tormenting, so have you waited?" Luo Xi asked. He held the [Soul-Catching Bell] in his other hand, and when necessary, he would let the other person hear what Ding-ling-ling meant.

"I don't know." The person in the closet sighed.

"What does 'not knowing' mean? Not knowing whether you have waited for something or not, or you don't know who you are waiting for?"

"Do not know at all."

"Then you may never wait for that person."

"I've never seen him because I'm blind, but I remember that man's voice. Your voice is very similar, but the tone is different. You sound like a human, but that man's voice doesn't sound like a human at all."

"So, what would you do?"

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer correctly, you might be the one I'm waiting for. If you don't, hehe, you can just stay in the box next to me."

I didn't think much of what the other person said at first, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized it was very scary.

Normal people cannot enter the grid next to it, unless they cut off their heads and stuff them in.

So are all the 150 grids on this wall filled with human heads?

That scene must have been spectacular.

"Can I ask you a question?" The other party was still very polite.

"Just ask."

"what's your name?"

"Luo Xi!"

"Ha, you're right. You're the first person who can answer the first question correctly in such a long time. I can finally ask you the second question." The person in the grid sounded very excited, and his voice was a little louder.

But he seemed to realize something and quickly lowered his voice: "I almost forgot myself. You can't speak loudly here, otherwise you will be eaten by that spider."

spider?

A giant man-eating spider in the dark, well, it is indeed scary. It can basically accurately hit 99.9% of people, the most feared element in their hearts.

"The second question is, there are two gamblers, A and B, who are playing a special game. There are two boxes of different sizes on the gambling table, one of which contains a huge prize. A said, "The big prize is in the small box." B said, "A is lying." It is known that one of the two must be telling the truth and the other must be lying. So, in which box is the big prize?"

"Answer quickly, three, two, one answer!"

"The grand prize is in the big box!" Luo Xi answered almost at the same time as the other party counted down from three to one. In addition, the other party's countdown was very fast, in fact, less than one second.

"You got it right again, that's amazing, good, good, then, the last question. There are three bowls, one of which has a bean in it. A, B, and C stand in front of the three bowls respectively, and then ask them to close their eyes. After randomly putting the bean in a bowl, ask the three to open their eyes and ask them if they know whether there is a bean in the bowl in front of them. A said: I don't know. B said: I don't know either, but I know A doesn't know either. After hearing this, C immediately said: I know which bowl the bean is in. Tell me, which bowl is the bean in? Three."

"The beans are in B's bowl!" Luo Xi answered almost the moment the other party asked the question, without even waiting for this guy to count down.

At this moment, everyone in the grid fell silent.

After a while, he said, "You got it right. So, last question, did she give you the box?"

Obviously, the last question seems a bit abstract compared to the previous ones.

It didn’t say what the box was, or who she was.

But Luo Xi also responded immediately.

"I have the box."

Luo Xi believed that this "box" was No. 077 [Hradic Cube], and "she" was referring to Qiu Kui, the manager of Tun Tun Bookstore.

But strictly speaking, the box was not given by her, but was the reward for Luo Xi after he passed the level.

"The person I've been waiting for is here. You, are finally here." The voice of the person in the grid suddenly became much colder, far less cheerful than at the beginning. Now this low and cold tone is suitable for this scene and atmosphere.

The next moment, Luo Xi felt his hand reaching into the grid being suddenly grabbed by another hand.

However, after the other party grabbed it, he let go immediately.

That hand placed a card in Luo Xi's palm. Then, the person in the grid seemed to be silent, without saying a word, like an NPC that had triggered all the dialogues and had completely stopped.

Luo Xi withdrew his hand. Although it was dark, the cards in the Day of Confinement had a special feature. After touching them, one could see a strange text. This text could be seen regardless of light or not. It was obviously not information received through vision, but was directly revealed through the mind and brain.

[Mental Patient], unactivated state, occupation card, activation requires component cards [Confused Thinking] × 1, [Heartbroken] × 1, [Confused] × 3, [Pain] × 2, [Amnesia] × 1.

When you have collected all the cards, you can activate this [Psychopath] and place it in the occupation card column of your card book to obtain the corresponding ability.

[Mental Patient]'s abilities include using any card to transform it into a [Transfer] card, which can transfer negative mental effects, including [Pain], [Confused Thinking], [Confusion], [Heartbroken], [Bewitched], [Grief], [Possessed by Evil Curse], and [Amnesia]; using any card to transform it into [Extraction], absorbing the depth of field effect on the target and transforming it into the corresponding card; [Crazy Feast], when one's mental state is on the eve of collapse, a card will be automatically generated, and then one will fall into madness due to losing one's mind.

Luo Xi looked carefully at the introduction of this profession card.

"This is what you left for me?" Luo Xi was a little disappointed.

Strictly speaking, this class card is very powerful.

Especially the abilities of the professional cards after they are put into the card book. Each one is very powerful. If they are put outside, they will definitely become treasures that many memory collectors will fight for.

But Luo Xi still felt that the other party could just give it to him directly, why did they have to make it so complicated?

It can be construed as a kind of "test".

But Luo Xi believed that there must be something deeper, a kind of information that was not revealed externally, a kind of content that required careful analysis and scrutiny to know.

"If mental patients are a kind of 'setting' or ability in the Days of Imprisonment, then can my illness also be understood as a man-made setting?"

"You're going to tell me this, right?"

This was the only implicit hint Luo Xi could think of.

Then he quickly recalled the day of imprisonment, the false world, the artificially created level scenes, the card system with supernatural powers, the endless cycle of reincarnation, and the weird dream he had through the [Nightmare] card.

In the dream, he saw himself as cowardly and ordinary.

Putting these together, Luo Xi suddenly thought of a possibility.

The emergence of this possibility was accompanied by several questions that Luo Xi had never figured out.

How did the Day of Imprisonment come about, and how many times did it repeat?
How did they get trapped in the Day of Incarceration?

At the beginning, were you a schizophrenic?

Taken individually, almost each one cannot be answered, but by combining these questions together and combining them with the known information, we can draw an inference.

A timeline derived from the order of questions.

"So, you actually want to remind me, what you really want to tell me is this."

"The day of imprisonment began. I was an ordinary and common person. I was in fear and despair of an infinite cycle of reincarnation. I knew it was a false world, so I had the instinct to resist and escape. The driving force of this instinct was not just because I suddenly found myself trapped in an infinitely reincarnated false world, but because I knew why I was trapped here, and there must be a reason to escape from this place. After countless attempts, I was sure that a normal person could not escape, so I turned myself into a madman."

"He believed that only a madman could possibly escape from the days of confinement."

This is the conclusion Luo Xi came to.

If this conclusion is correct, then the number of times the days of confinement are repeated, the count of the cycle days, must be a very terrifying number.

It is definitely not what Lin Qiqi said, that experiencing a hundred cycles a day would make one a master.

What is a hundred cycle days?
Perhaps, the duration of the Day of Imprisonment is a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times longer than this.
Even for Luo Xi, as long as he thought about the fact that the cycle may have existed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times, he would feel an irrepressible despair, or even a fear that even [absolute reason] could not suppress.

This feeling made Luo Xi realize that he was still a human being.

A living person with emotions and desires is not a madman who is so sick that he is crazy, and so ruthless that he is rational.

Fortunately, Luo Xi quickly regained his composure.

【Absolute rationality】worked out at this time.

"If this is the case, then what exactly is preventing me from escaping? Is it some kind of existence? And it must be an existence with unequal power, that Dimension Four?" Luo Xi continued to sort out his thoughts.

Not many people know about the existence of Dimension 4.

Qiu Kui knew it, but she seemed to be subject to some powerful rules and didn't dare to say much. For the time being, she was on his side.

Zhou Ya, a little girl living in the Sega apartment building, is a cleaner and she also knows about Wei Si's existence.

But there were so many scenes on the day of imprisonment, why did she have the opportunity to come into contact with Wei Si?

Or other cleaners or administrators can also do it?
"So what exactly is Dimension Four? Is he a person, or some unknown existence?"

"What is the relationship between the Day of Imprisonment and Wei Si?"

Luo Xi planned to leave and find Lin Qiqi.

But at this moment, the person in the grid who he thought would not speak again suddenly whispered: "Luo Xi, do you think we can escape?"
