Chapter 183 The Terrifying Confidentiality Mechanism
Chapter 183 The Terrifying Confidentiality Mechanism
"The Day of Confinement is not a place where you can speak freely. Some things can be said, and some cannot. Brother Mao, do you understand?" Luo Xi said at this time.
He felt that Brother Mao could understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Brother Mao was stunned for a moment, his expression changed, his lips moved, but he still resisted and nodded.
However, it can be seen that the other party has an urgent desire to communicate.
In fact, the same is true for Luo Xi.
This time, relying on Lin Qiqi's ability to connect the nightmares of three people, there were obviously many unexpected discoveries.
However, for safety reasons, Luo Xi does not intend to communicate this information directly with Brother Mao.
Even if you are worrying too much, you still have to ensure safety. As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, some things cannot tolerate the slightest negligence.
Because Luo Xi already knew something.
For example, this is not the first time for him to become a person with memory restoration, that is to say, this is not the first time for him to become a person with amnesia. The number of times he switches between the two identities may be more and more frequent than he imagined.
Although Luo Xi is very confident in himself, he cannot rule out the possibility of capsizing in the ditch.
If some previous plans failed, one of the possible reasons was 'leakage'.
And I have always been a very careful person.
So, is there some kind of power that can monitor the conversations between people who have recovered their memories?
It's not impossible.
Luo Xi discovered this when he was in the Sega apartment building.
At that time, Zhou Xinpeng, the administrator of the Sega Apartment Building, was discovered by some force almost the moment he committed the foul, and Luo Xi witnessed with his own eyes an administrator being executed by the "company".
This is one of them.
There is another more obvious 'hint'.
It is the missing 'Old Wang'.
As the administrator of the "Working Day" scene at the customer service outsourcing company, when Lao Wang was found by himself during a surprise attack, he clearly showed a fear and dread of the unknown.
The other party is not afraid of doing something wrong, but is very concerned about saying the wrong thing.
There were even some words that Old Wang said that sounded as if he was deliberately saying them to someone else.
Because of this, Luo Xi knew that during the days of confinement, there might be someone who could monitor the conversations of the Memory Collector, and it was very likely that the person belonged to the "Company".
As for what Brother Mao is going to say, it is most likely related to his nightmare.
However, there is a premise here. Brother Mao fell into a coma due to other reasons, and even his soul was damaged. It was just that Lin Qiqi borrowed [Nightmare] and forcibly connected the souls of the three people together in the form of a dream.
There is only one purpose for doing this, to wake up Brother Mao.
If he doesn't do this, Brother Mao might lose all his memories, or even go completely crazy, and even the restart mechanism on the day of imprisonment will not be able to restore him.
Ke Lan talked about a similar situation. There was a man who recovered his memories and his situation was almost the same as Brother Mao's. He suddenly seemed to remember something, and then he started bleeding from all seven orifices. Finally, he became a complete lunatic. Even after the day of imprisonment was restarted, he was unable to recover.
Since there are precedents, it doesn't hurt to be careful.
Because Luo Xi suspected that the person who recalled memories that Ke Lan mentioned might be like Brother Mao, and might recall memories that he shouldn't recall due to some accident.
These memories were "taboo" during the days of imprisonment.
Making people's souls damaged and drive them crazy is a confidentiality mechanism.
Based on this, Luo Xi decided to adopt another way of communication.
"Qiqi, how are you?" He glanced at Lin Qiqi beside him.
Although the latter looked pale and very tired, he still shook his head: "I'm fine!"
"So, how much do you remember about your dream?" Luo Xi continued to ask.
Lin Qiqi smiled: "All!"
"Very good, I want to talk to Brother Mao, can your card ring ability help us?" Luo Xi knew that Lin Qiqi could use the ability of Soul Peeping to communicate with him directly through thoughts, but he was not sure if the other party could allow him to communicate with a third party in the same way.
"Let me try!" Lin Qiqi is very efficient and never talks nonsense.
Especially regarding Luo Xi's request, she would definitely do it if she could, and if she couldn't, she would find a way to do it.
Lin Qiqi first summoned the card book, took out two cards and activated them, then placed two fingers on the forehead of Luo Xi and Mao Ge respectively.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Okay, three-way call, but don't exceed two minutes." After Lin Qiqi finished speaking, Luo Xi immediately heard Lin Qiqi's voice in his mind.
"Let's get started. The three of us can hear each other's thoughts and words."
Luo Xi didn't ask why it couldn't be more than two minutes. Since Lin Qiqi said so, he just had to follow her rules.
"Brother Mao, I went to your dream. It should be a nightmare formed by your memory. But I suspect that it really happened. In 2049, maybe before March, in Tunjing City, Fusheng Residential Building, 3th Floor, Room 14, the city was in chaos, and you were talking to a woman, probably your wife. The content of the conversation was that you were applying for some kind of qualification, but you had to wait in line. Later, you applied for a digital card. In addition, I also heard about the disaster and the Earth."
Luo Xi quickly threw out the key words he knew.
These still need to be answered and integrated by Brother Mao, the owner of the memory.
"Let me interject. I seem to recall some things, but it was like I was in a strange room. I seemed to see the starry sky through the glass, and the time was..." Lin Qiqi said at this time, but before she finished, Luo Xi interrupted: "Was the time before 2057, or after?"
Lin Qiqi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then her voice rang out: "It was 2050. It seems that such a year flashed by, but my memory of this is very vague. I can't even tell whether it was a dream or something that really happened."
"Luo Xi, Luo Xi is so magical. You can hear voices without saying anything. Wait a minute, why do voices appear whenever I think of something? Hey, I seem to be a little hungry. I should go eat with Fatty Qian. No, should I say whatever I think? This is so embarrassing. It's bad. Why is this happening? Luo Xi, where did you find such a beautiful girl? It's over. My inner voice is all out. I have to calm down, calm down, calm down, and don't think about anything." Brother Mao's voice sounded, but he was obviously not used to communicating with his soul. The voice came out all of a sudden, chattering endlessly.
"Brother Mao, focus on my problem." Luo Xi had to interrupt the other party's random thoughts loudly.
"It's fine!" Brother Mao took a deep breath. "You're right. I don't know how these weird memories came up. It should be when I watched Xiao Guo playing games that it reminded me of some memories. Because I remember when I was in school, I also played the game "Four Clans Battle". The memory fragments that appeared at the same time were like water gushing out of a burst faucet. It couldn't be blocked. In fact, I thought the blood vessels in my head burst because I had a terrible headache at the time."
"So, you are not sure whether those memories are real?" Luo Xi once again stopped the other party from having wild thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm not sure, but it does seem real."
"So as far as I can remember, what place did you rank in the application for that qualification? Please be more precise."
"1513, I think it should be."
"It is indeed 1513!" Luo Xi's voice was very certain this time.
"How can you be sure?" Brother Mao was a little puzzled.
"If it was just pure fantasy or dreaming, you wouldn't be so sensitive to numbers, but you care a lot about your position in the queue, and even develop some kind of subconscious obsession. After the memory was transformed into a nightmare, there were exactly 1513 of your bodies from your doorstep to the street, and they were always queuing, but the line never moved. That's why you applied for something called a number card. What is that?"
This time it was Brother Mao who was confused. He himself didn't remember any of this because he didn't see the human-shaped bodies he was queuing up outside the door.
As for digital cards.
"I remember it was about giving up the body. Yes, giving up the body. Because the number of places on the ship was limited, or in other words, it was impossible for everyone to get on board. The so-called queuing was just a way to delay and to calm people's hearts. But it was a naked deception."
It was obvious that under Luo Xi's guidance, Brother Mao integrated these memory fragments.
"A digital card is a digital backup of a person's life, a high-tech thing. By the way, our development has been very fast in those years, so fast that it is unimaginable." Brother Mao's tone changed, and he seemed to be constantly digging out those memories.
"The disaster has come. The only way to escape is to get on the boat. However, only a very small number of people can get on the boat. I have waited for three years. Although I know that I will never get on the boat, I still hold on to a glimmer of unrealistic hope. Ah..." Brother Mao covered his head with his hands again at this time.
Something was wrong with him again.
Blood began to seep out of the nostrils and ears again.
Luo Xi reacted very quickly. He interrupted the soul conversation, walked forward, and hit Brother Mao's neck hard with his hand.
The latter fainted immediately.
"That's enough for now!" Luo Xi said. Obviously, this kind of excavation of forbidden memories is a very dangerous thing.
If you are not careful, your soul will be damaged and you will become an idiot.
Mao Ge’s case once again proves that this is a special confidentiality mechanism.
Although Luo Xi knew these memories, he was able to remain unscathed because these memories were not his, and he was unable to extract the corresponding content from his own memories. It was like an insignificant person listening to another person telling some stories that he didn't know were true or false.
Therefore, the confidentiality mechanism of the day of confinement is ineffective for him.
So, is this a coincidence or something deliberate?
As for Lin Qiqi, her situation is even more special.
Although Mao Ge's memory also resonated with her in some way, it was obvious that Lin Qiqi was not affected either. Perhaps it was because she was a "Soul Peeper" and had a strong defense against souls.
This defensive capability may offset part of the confidentiality mechanism of forbidden memories.
"Don't think about this for now. Just treat it as a nightmare." Luo Xi warned.
Lin Qiqi nodded. It was obvious that she also realized the deep-seated horror of this matter, so her expression was very solemn.
"As for Brother Mao, I have to think of another way." Luo Xi had a headache. Lin Qiqi was a soul peeper. She had some means of self-protection and defense, but Brother Mao did not.
If he continues to dig into those forbidden memories after waking up, he will most likely be turned into a complete madman by the confidentiality mechanism of the day of imprisonment.
