Chapter 174 The Bearer of Memory

Chapter 174 The Bearer of Memory

It's raining outside.

The weather during the cycle seems to be fixed, cloudy, rainy, and then cloudy again.

Just like the mood of all those who recall their memories, there is never a moment when they can see the sunshine.

Perhaps, there was no sunlight at all during the days of confinement.

The weather forecast says it will be sunny tomorrow, but no one can see tomorrow's sun. We can only look at the weather forecast and imagine the sunny weather and warm feeling.

There was nothing special about Wu Rui and the others' situation. They had originally agreed on a meeting place with Luo Xi, but Luo Xi accidentally entered the Youzuo Temple and they could not be contacted.

So Wu Rui and the others could only wait. They came to this large shopping mall because it was said that there was a place similar to the "Time Gathering Hall" here, where the Memory Collectors gathered to exchange information and trade cards.

Guo Zening discovered a level scene related to games here. In order to prove himself, Guo Zening chose to challenge it.

That was when the incident with Brother Mao happened.

He was bleeding all over and fell into an inexplicable state of unconsciousness. The situation was very serious, but Ke Lan said that this was not a disease, but some kind of "accidental" situation.

"I've seen something similar in the past. There was a person who was regaining his memories and seemed to be in some weird confusion. He was bleeding from all seven orifices and was acting crazy," Ke Lan said at this time.

"What happened to that person later?" Luo Xi asked.

"Crazy, that means literally. But this is what's weird. That person seems to have forgotten that he is a memory restorer. His cards were either cheated or robbed, so he should have become an amnesiac. As you know, the memory of an amnesiac will be reset, including his mental state. But after becoming an amnesiac, that person is still crazy. This doesn't conform to the rules of the day of confinement." Ke Lan glanced at Luo Xi. Obviously, he couldn't come to a satisfactory conclusion on this issue.

"Perhaps, there are not so many rules on the Day of Confinement. Or maybe, that person becoming a madman is a rule within the Day of Confinement." No one could understand what Luo Xi said.

Except for himself.

At a certain moment, Luo Xi thought of his own personalities and thought of himself as a madman.

"Can you still find that madman?" Luo Xi asked Ke Lan.

The latter shook his head: "I haven't seen him for a long time. He seems to have deviated from his previous routine."

Luo Xi fell into deep thought.

He glanced at the unconscious Mao Ge, his fingers tapping the tabletop at an irregular pace.

No one spoke at this moment.

Before Luo Xi came, they would express their opinions and have many ideas and plans, but after Luo Xi came, all these messy things disappeared.

From now on, there is only one voice, only one plan.

"Customer service outsourcing companies are mostly staffed by women, including managers. Besides, Brother Mao is not good at intrigue. He is honest and loyal, and treats people sincerely. He doesn't look like a supervisor at all. At least, with his personality, he can't manage people. So it's not reasonable for him to become our team leader." Luo Xi suddenly said to Wu Rui at this time.

The latter was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

"Brother Mao and I are the same. He may have been planted here specifically." Luo Xi suddenly said.

He looked down at Brother Mao and said, "He violated certain rules and regulations, so he was punished."

Thinking of this, Luo Xi was glad that he used the [Anesthetic Toxin] at a good time. If it was a little later, Brother Mao's condition might have been worse, or even impossible to save.

Of course there is another possibility that Luo Xi did not mention.

That is Brother Mao. Maybe, like Teacher Han, the Withered One, he is a "memory carrier" arranged by himself, carrying a certain memory of his own and belonging to a part of the "memory puzzle".

There is also a lot of evidence for this idea.

For example, as I said just now, Brother Mao is just like me. He is obviously not suitable and is unlikely to actively apply for a job in a customer service outsourcing company, but they happen to be in an unreasonable place.

This in itself is the greatest unreasonableness.

Reasoning from this perspective, Brother Mao may have discovered memories that originally belonged to him.

That's why they were hit hard by the crazy content inside.

This possibility is certainly not absolute, but at least it exists.

"Brother Mao is out of danger for now, but he should not be moved in the short term. We should stay here for now. We can't waste time waiting. Is there any scene we can conquer here?"

Luo Xi looked up and asked.

Wu Rui shook her head. She had been taking care of Brother Mao, but the other people had obviously made a lot of discoveries.

"I found several game-like scenes here," Guo Zening said first.

He seemed to have gained a lot of confidence.

I heard that it was because he had previously independently challenged a real-time strategy game scenario and won.

Indeed, some people have said that "success" is the best aphrodisiac for men. Only with it can a man be called a man.

Anyway, Guo Zening now looks like a completely different person than before.

"Tell me about it." Luo Xi encouraged.

"One is a real-time strategy game that I have already challenged. In fact, it is just a game. You can choose to play against the computer or other memory collectors. To participate, you need to pay a [Memory], but you can bet based on the handicap generated by the on-the-spot battle. If you play well, you can get a lot of rewards. In the last game, I got two [Memories] and a biological [Card]."

Speaking of this, Guo Zening was obviously very excited. He took out the card and handed it to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi took a look and saw that Guo Zening had obtained a biological card called [Battlefield Infantry], which was roughly similar to [Duck Prophet] and could be summoned into the field through [Gold] cards and [Food] cards.

There is a time limit, and basically you can help the Memory Picker do a lot of things, such as fighting, defense, exploration, etc.

Good stuff. Biological type cards are rare. If the [Battlefield Infantry] card is used well, it will be extremely useful.

"Good stuff!" Luo Xi exclaimed.

"Unfortunately, I don't know where to get [Gold Coins] and [Food]!" Guo Zening sighed again. Without these two auxiliary cards, he would not be able to summon this creature card into the field.

Additionally, creature cards have restrictions.

It can only be used within the level scene. For example, if you want to summon it from outside, it won't work.

"Perhaps, we can look for clues from other game projects in the same scene." Luo Xi gave a suggestion.

Guo Zening's eyes lit up and he nodded.

He found his field.

play games.

This is what Guo Zening is best at, and he is definitely a master at playing games, especially competitive games.

"In terms of games, in addition to "Four Clans Battle", there are also "Little Wars" and "League of Mastermind." Guo Zening told the results of his investigation.

In fact, there are far more level scenes here than just these.

Fatty Qian came over and said, "There is a big stomach challenge on the first floor, in the food court. There are four types in total: noodles, hamburgers, cakes, and braised pork rice."

Several people looked over.

"Why don't I know?" Ke Lan asked.

"Of course you don't know. I asked you guys who wanted to eat, and you all said you weren't hungry. I was hungry, so I went down to take a look. You should thank me for this, otherwise you definitely wouldn't know."

While Fatty Qian was talking, his stomach rumbled.

"So, you are saving your stomach for the challenge later?" Ke Lan saw it, Fatty Qian laughed and nodded.

Ke Lan said, "I didn't find the level scene, but I know that there is a small anime exhibition on the seventh-floor starry sky balcony. It is a place similar to the Time Gathering Hall, but compared to the Time Gathering Hall, the level is a little lower and there is no threshold. In addition, it is safer."

"What do you mean by safer?" Fatty Qian didn't understand.

"You can wear all kinds of fancy masks openly, and you won't be treated as an outsider." Ke Lan took out a mask from his backpack. It seemed to be a character from an anime.

"Very good!" Luo Xi checked the time and said, "Guo Zening chose to challenge scenes that he was confident of winning. This is worthy of encouragement. This is a world where only the fittest survive. Everyone must find a way of survival that they are good at and try to get as many card rewards as possible. At present, cards are the key props to maintain the memory and abilities of the Memory Collector. More is better, not less."

"So, from now on until noon, everyone should go their separate ways and conquer as many scenes as possible to get more card rewards. As for Brother Mao, I will guard this place."

Luo Xi entered the 'Di Yuan Yi' level scene early in the morning and reached the elite level, then rushed all the way here.

I'm tired and want to take a break.

Of course, the real reason was that Brother Mao’s condition was very dangerous, and it was far from what Luo Xi had just said, that it could be solved by just taking a short rest.

But other people can't help with this kind of thing.

It would be better to let them act on their own.

The one who can help is Lin Qiqi. She is a Soul Peeper and can see many things that she herself cannot see.

For example, we need to determine the strength of Mao Ge's soul, or whether there is something else hidden in Mao Ge's soul.

This can only be done by Lin Qiqi.

So Luo Xi had already sent the message and location to Lin Qiqi, and the other party's reply consisted of only three words.

Coming Soon!
This woman is really reliable!
"I'll stay and help you take care of Brother Mao." Wu Rui came over at this time.

Luo Xi shook his head. He glanced at Wu Rui and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Ah? No, what's wrong?" Wu Rui was stunned.

"Follow Fatty Qian and challenge the big eater. With your strength, you can at least win one round." Luo Xi instructed.

"And I guess that the [Food] card that Guo Zening obtained to enter the game with the creature card was obtained from the Big Eater Challenge."

After saying that, Guo Zening became excited first.

"Really? Then I'll go too."

"Forget about it. You can't eat as much in three meals as I do in one. It's a waste of cards to go." Fatty Qian poured a bucket of cold water on the other party.

"In short, do what you are good at. There is no one who is balanced in all aspects. Only by taking advantage of each other's strengths and avoiding weaknesses can we go further." Luo Xi gave a summary speech.
