Chapter 210 Heavy losses

Chapter 210 Heavy losses

Chapter 210 Heavy losses
According to the rules of "Haunted Mansion", no card fees are required to enter, and similarly, there will be no restrictions on exiting.

If you want, you can even exit immediately after entering.

As long as you can leave, no one will stop you.

But in order to be certified as having met the most basic requirements for 'clearance', one must survive in there for seven full days and nights.

Even if you survive long enough to pass the level, you still have to leave on your own.

If you are blocked by ghosts or die on the way, it will also be considered as "not meeting" the clearance conditions.

Because it was clearly stated when you entered, you had to survive for seven days and then leave alive.

In terms of survival time, An Zhiyan, Yu Xiaoru and hypnotist Kan Nan have already met the 'seven days' standard, while Luo Xi and the others who entered later actually had 'six days' at most. It can be said that they are only one day away from meeting the most basic conditions for passing the level.

The normal thinking should be to persevere. After all, we are already here and it has come to the final moment. We can't give up halfway just because of this slight break.

But Luo Xi just didn't take the usual path. He did not hesitate and led the people he could find to quickly retreat along the original route without wasting even a minute.

It was not until he reached the initial entrance and confirmed that he had left the scene that Luo Xi's serious expression gradually relaxed.

Outside the shabby house on the first floor at the entrance, the old man who was originally lying on the recliner drinking tea was gone. Only the elementary school student who served as the administrator stood there with a gloomy face, watching Luo Xi and his group.

"Go ask him for the reward." Luo Xi said to An Zhiyan, who had returned to normal.

The latter nodded and walked over with Yu Xiaoru and Kan Nan.

The administrator gave rewards according to the rules, including two [Memories] per person and one chance to draw a card.

Luo Xi walked over and sat on the recliner. He glanced at the unfinished cup of strong tea brewed in a can on the table next to him and said, "I'll come again next time."

"Unfortunately, this scene is a limited edition and is only open once. Next time I come, it won't be like this." The tone of the elementary school student's voice did not sound like that of a student of this age at all.

Anyway, it sounds annoying, and I have an urge to teach this little bastard a lesson.

"You broke the rules." Luo Xi suddenly said in a low voice.

The other party was stunned at first, then his face darkened, and he squinted his eyes and whispered, "Do you have any evidence?"

"No."

"Then shut up."

"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with me, right?" Luo Xi asked again. His voice was not loud, but even if others heard it, they would find it confusing and bewildered, and would not know what Luo Xi meant.

In fact, to understand these conversations, a prerequisite is required.

If you don’t know the preset conditions, you won’t understand at all.

"What do you think?" The elementary school student's voice was lower than Luo Xi's, almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

The next sentence the elementary school student said was, "Go away. You should be able to sense that I have murderous intentions towards you. Continuing to provoke me will do you no good. You are even more annoying than before."

"I agree with you on this point, because I have the same idea as you. It seems that we were not friends in the past."

"roll!"

Luo Xi smiled and reached out to pick up the cup of strong tea. Obviously, it had been left for so long that the tea was almost cold.

But Luo Xi still picked it up and drank it all.

Then he spat the tea leaves in his mouth.

"Just scum."

After saying that, he stood up, but seemed to remember something and turned back and said, "The company has a loophole!"

This time, he left without looking back.

The elementary school administrator behind him opened his eyes wide, and no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he couldn't suppress the fear.

"Alas, this time, we suffered heavy losses!"

Those words were said by Fatty Qian.

The scene he and Luo Xi entered together, not to mention those people from the Awakener Association who had entered before, just count those who entered with them, and how many came out?

Wu Rui, Guo Zening, Liang Qu, and seven or eight other people from the Awakener Association who retrieved their memories did not come out.

Although the specific circumstances are unknown, it is obvious that they are all in great danger.

"We can only see each other on the next cycle day." Fatty Qian sighed, "You guys, hey, this is quite strange. Obviously, we can get together on the next cycle day, but why do I still feel sad about the separation of life and death? Am I too sentimental?"

"This is an emotion that normal people have. What's so strange about it? If it's not normal, then you're not a normal person." The person who could chat with Fatty Qian was actually Ke Lan.

It is really hard to explain how a person who doesn't talk much and a chatty person can actually chat together.

"Speaking of which, I was indeed desperate before, but then I thought, I was lucky to follow Luo Ju and meet a sultry man like you, Ke Lan. Otherwise, I can't imagine how I would live this monotonous, helpless life in the future." Fatty Qian continued to sigh. "Fuck, who is sultry? I call it taste and connotation, and you fat guy don't know anything." Ke Lan sneered and rubbed his arm. When he was a 'ghost' before, his arm was broken by the power of the [Soul Walker].

But after changing back to being a 'living person', he actually recovered.

This inevitably gave him some ideas.

For example, if you master the ability of "scapegoat", then when you suffer a fatal injury or some kind of curse, can you use the rules of "scapegoat" to clear the negative state?

You know what, this possibility does exist.

However, in his opinion, the exploration of the level scene this time was too hasty and clearly not in enough time. They did not find more plot points with rewards, nor did they go through any strategies. Most importantly, they exited the scene when there was still one day left before the rotation.

If you don't complete the game, you naturally won't have the chance to draw cards.

"By the way, what cards did those people from the Awakener Association draw?" Ke Lan was very curious.

"How can they care about this? We are only missing Wu Rui and Guo Zening. They have suffered real heavy losses. I suspect that even if the Awakener Association does not collapse this time, it will be difficult for it to reach its past glory."

Ke Lan also understood what Fatty Qian meant.

Such a large organization of Memory Collectors conquered a large-scale scene, but in the end, most of its members died inside. Most importantly, they did not actually conquer the scene, which was bound to undermine the confidence of its members.

"It's a pity for Brother Qu. Such a strong man was harmed by those evil spirits. I have said it before that we can't rely on brute force alone. It's okay if the enemy can attack physically, but if we encounter ghosts, we will be at a great disadvantage." Fatty Qian complained again.

"This is the result of being poor at one subject." Ke Lan added, and then suddenly asked: "Well, we are so familiar with each other, I will call you Si Ya from now on."

"I'll beat you to death, believe it or not!" Fatty Qian immediately became anxious.

"No, no, I'm just kidding you. By the way, what did Luo Xi talk about with An Zhiyan?" Ke Lan quickly changed the subject.

"How would I know? I don't dare to go over and ask." Fatty Qian was not really angry. He looked around, then turned his eyes and ran over to chat with Zhang Ming, mainly to inquire about the situation.

"Ming girl, what is your boss and my boss talking about? They are chatting so enthusiastically, do you think they want to be friends?" Fatty Qian is best at using jokes to find out news and information.

Zhang Ming obviously didn't have as many cunning ideas as Fatty Qian, and hurriedly shook his head: "It's not about friendship, Sister An, oh, no, Chief An actually wants to discuss something with your boss."

"A man and a woman, talking behind people's backs, what could possibly happen? They must be deeply in love, sitting under the moonlight." Fatty Qian chuckled.

Zhang Ming immediately whispered, "Actually, I'm asking your boss for help."

"Help? Help to have a baby?" Fatty Qian glared.

This time Zhang Ming also reacted and glared at the fat man angrily: "I'm looking for Luo Xi to go to a high-level scene to rescue someone."

"Save people? Save who?"

"Our Chief Lin!"

"I'm busy!" Luo Xi shook his head and refused directly.

On the other side, An Zhiyan took a deep breath and said, "You can set any conditions. As long as I have it, I will definitely give it to you."

"You should know a lot of senior experts, so why bother looking for me?"

"They are not as good as you. Even Lin Yixuan is much worse than you. I really can't think of anyone else who can do this except you. In fact, Xiaoru has recommended you to me a long time ago." An Zhiyan looked at Luo Xi with a very sincere tone, but it was obvious that there was a lot of flattery in her tone.

"Are you in a hurry?" Luo Xi said.

He and An Zhiyan were actually not familiar with each other. They had only met each other at Tuntun Bookstore before. To be honest, his relationship with Yu Xiaoru was not as close.

But he is also a person who likes to understand other people very much.

Even if they have only met once, Luo Xi can understand the other person's personality and behavior.

It was obvious that if it wasn't for the urgent matter, An Zhiyan would never compliment herself in such an awkward way.

"Yes!" An Zhiyan gritted her teeth and nodded. "The Awakener Association was already in turmoil because of Lin Yixuan's disappearance, and then we encountered today's incident. It can be said that many backbones of the association have been lost here. Although they can be resurrected on the next cycle day, the blow to the association's reputation is irreversible. In addition, some people are keen on internal fighting, and there are some external forces squeezing us. It is almost impossible for me to maintain the current state alone."

"Just find that Lin Yixuan?"

"No, the problem now is not with him as a person, but with the fact that most of the wealth accumulated by the Awakener Association over such a long period of time is in his possession."

"card?"

"Yes, but to be more precise, they are numbered cards."

After listening to this, Luo Xi smiled for the first time.

If you put it that way, he is indeed a little interested.

"That is to say, the Lin Yixuan you are looking for has been missing for at least three cycles. At the last moment of the cycle, the entire confinement day will be reset, and all the people who have regained their memories will be reallocated to their respective initial positions. In theory, there is no such thing as 'missing', even if he becomes an amnesiac, unless he hides himself."

Hearing this, An Zhiyan immediately shook her head: "I can tell you with certainty that Lin Yixuan is not hiding!"
