"I know, it's the nine-square grid!" Lin Qiqi's reaction was quite quick.

Luo Xi nodded.

However, Lin Qiqi soon had new questions.

"Without any hint, how do you know to use the numbers in the nine-square grid to mark the numbers?"

"There is a clue!" Luo Xi was very sure.

"How could that be?" Lin Qiqi recalled all the details. As a bystander, she should have observed more comprehensively and carefully.

"Side dish!" Luo Xi only gave these two words.

Lin Qiqi recalled it and suddenly understood.

"Although Old Wang only took a small piece of meat to cook, these pieces of meat can't even be seen from the outside. You can only taste the subtle differences when you chew them or cut them. If you are a real gourmet, you may be able to distinguish them by this method, but I am not a gourmet." Luo Xi said: "Old Wang also knows this, so he used another hint!"

“Different side dishes?”

"Yes!" Luo Xi nodded. "Although the diced meat is the same, the side dishes in each plate are different. Some are bay leaves, some are chopped green onions, some are lemons, and some are garlic slices. These side dishes are all in the fresh food area, and they have their own numbers. If you go and see it yourself, you will know that I just put them one by one according to the number of the side dishes. It is actually very simple."

"." Lin Qiqi had never expected that when Luo Xi tasted the meat before, he was really eating it and was not trying to figure out which part of the meat it was. The other party just marked the corresponding numbers based on the side dishes.

"This, this is cheating!"

"Yes, but cheating is the norm in life. There is only relative fairness in this world. Where is absolute fairness?"

"."Lin Qiqi is a smart person, she naturally knows what Luo Xi means.

She took a deep breath at this time: "Now you have accumulated a lot of shopping coupons, I am afraid it is close to 7000?"

Luo Xi nodded.

“Perhaps, if I challenge all the shopping games here a few times, I can use the shopping coupons I earn to buy cards numbered 003 or 002.” Lin Qiqi’s eyes lit up when she mentioned these two numbered cards. She knew that this feeling, which was almost like the eve of climax, was caused by the diseases [desire] and [greed].

But even though we know it, it is difficult to control it.

Luo Xi glanced at Lin Qiqi and said, "I never planned to buy those two cards. I need to find another card here, then communicate with Lao Wang again, and finally find An Zhiyan and Lin Yixuan, hypnotize the latter, and take her away."

Lin Qiqi was stunned.

"No, those are cards numbered 003 and 002. Even the card on the golden shelf is numbered 000. This is almost our ultimate goal. Now that the goal is right in front of us, you want to leave? What do you think?"

Obviously, Lin Qiqi's idea is very simple. As long as they are not like those pure lunatics in the "Eternal Society", then any normal person who recalls memories has a common goal, which is to escape from the day of confinement.

Back to the real reality.

Here, death, fear and despair are challenges that one must face on almost every day of the cycle.

The most important thing is that this torture is an infinite cycle.

Endless repetition, there is no escape.

Everyone wants to escape from this almost endless torture and pain, so number 000 becomes the ultimate goal of all those who restore their memories.

Now the target may be in the supermarket.

Then you should stay here, try every possible way to get shopping coupons, and then buy the cards to free yourself from the days of confinement that are almost like a curse.

This is what should be done.

Luo Xi heard Lin Qiqi's words and glanced at her.

“Although what you hear may not be what you see, sometimes what you see may not be true.”

These words made Lin Qiqi's heart skip a beat.

"Luo Xi, are you saying that those two numbered cards are fake?"

"Not necessarily, but what is certain is that the cards are not prizes, but bait! They are baits used to stimulate desire and greed, and are also the most important part of the mechanism for consuming the card resources of the Memory Collector in this scene."

"I, I understand." Lin Qiqi figured out the truth and let out a long sigh: "So, cheating is the norm in life. By the way, is the card you are looking for related to the professional card?"

Luo Xi nodded. Most of the time he had a clear purpose, which was to set goals and achieve them; and continue to set goals and achieve them.

In psychology, this is called "ladder motivation". People are very realistic and timid. If they see a mountain towering into the clouds, their first reaction is that the mountain is so high that they will never be able to climb it. But if it is a flight of steps leading up the mountain, they can go up in one step, which is very easy. Then they can do small easy things one by one, which is equivalent to climbing up one step at a time, and eventually they can climb the mountain that they originally thought was unclimbable.

The checkout counter of Yongge Supermarket, with the exit behind it.

A dark passage, no one knows where it leads to.

There are several checkout counters, each with a dummy staff standing next to it. Occasionally, some people would come here to check out, but few would leave directly. Most of them would just buy some food to fill their stomachs when they were too hungry, and then return to wander around the supermarket with eyes wide open like gamblers, looking for opportunities to earn shopping coupons.

It's like a birdcage that is always open, but the bird inside rarely leaves on its own initiative.

At that time, there were a few people who were paying their bills there.

They compared the food and drinking water cards they had already selected, weighed them, put down some of them, and only chose a small amount of the cheapest food and drinking water to pay.

The mannequins were meticulous in their operations. "Three rat crackers, a 3-liter bottle of Dolphin drinking water, a total of 2 shopping points." A sweet female voice came from the badge on the chest of the mannequin wearing a short skirt and the small speaker.

The few people who recalled their past paid the bill with crumpled shopping coupons.

Then he materialized the cards with trembling hands, tore open the packaging bag, and greedily ate the cheap and tasteless crackers. As for the bottle of water, he shared it among several people, and even drank the water on the bottle cap.

After eating, the few people returned to the supermarket and disappeared among the rows of shelves.

"You said, if someone materializes the card without paying and then uses it, will they be discovered?" Lin Qiqi asked in a low voice. At this time, she discovered that Luo Xi seemed to have hidden something in the gap between the shelves.

She was stunned and wanted to ask, but when she saw Luo Xi's gaze, she immediately shut up.

Luo Xi, what did you put there just now?

A sense of curiosity arose in Lin Qiqi's heart.

"It must be, otherwise someone would have done it a long time ago." Luo Xi indicated that in addition to the mannequins wandering around like ghosts, there were also many surveillance cameras in the supermarket.

Luo Xi had carefully observed these surveillance cameras and found that inside the light ink-colored glass covers were bloody eyeballs.

If you look at it, it will also look at you.

After saying that, Luo Xi walked over and handed the card of the product he had selected earlier to a dummy at the checkout counter.

"Hello, I'll pay the bill!"

"Okay, three guinea pig chocolates, two bottles of cow and horse multivitamins, a box of sheep calcium milk, and one stupid cow dumbbell, a total of 3 shopping coupons." The sweet voice of the mannequin combined with its stiff appearance gave people an extremely strong sense of tearing.

What is torn apart is naturally reason.

Luo Xi paid the bill, took out his shopping cart card book, and put the product cards in it.

His shopping cart can bear 30 kilograms.

The weight of these goods just reaches this value.

"Your shopping cart is full and you can leave through the exit. Happy shopping!" The dummy cashier seemed to be triggered by some mechanism at this moment and bowed to Luo Xi, which maximized the service experience.

At this time, Luo Xi walked to the cashier counter, waited for a while, and looked around.

"That's it?"

He muttered to himself.

Obviously this is another practical activity. For many things, observation alone is obviously not enough and actual operation is required.

According to what Luo Xi had discovered, as long as they selected the items that the shopping cart could bear and checked out, they could leave the supermarket. In theory, this was considered as passing a level.

But isn't there any reward for clearing the level?
Or, this doesn't count as a clearance at all.

"Qiqi, remember what I said, go to the entrance and wait for me!" Luo Xi said, turning his head, then walked towards the exit.

Lin Qiqi just watched the other person disappear into the darkness on the other side of the exit passage.

She was naturally worried, but she also knew that even if anything happened, Luo Xi would be able to handle it. After all, Luo Xi had already told her about the plan of shopping and leaving through the soul link.

The reason why I tried to leave Yongge Supermarket in this way was not only to verify whether this method was feasible, but also to figure out another thing.

Rumors about Yongge Supermarket's 'amnesia'.

In other words, every person who leaves the supermarket will not remember their experience in the supermarket.

If we regard it as a kind of ability and turn it into a card, it will correspond to the last missing component card in Luo Xi's professional card, [Amnesia].

This is purely due to the association of the name.

However, because there are no more clues and evidence to support it, Luo Xi has to verify it personally.

Of course, there are more benefits to leaving the supermarket. For example, Luo Xi has noticed that no matter where he goes, there will be dummies around him, either tidying up the shelves or pretending to pass by.

Even though the eyeballs in the monitor were blocked by an inky glass cover, their sights were mostly on themselves.

In other words, I have already been targeted by 'someone'.

At least for now, this is not a good thing.

Therefore, Luo Xi needs to actively undergo a "reset", which is also a way to verify how to obtain the [Amnesia Method].

The passage was very dark, I couldn't see where the real exit was, and it was eerily quiet.

Faintly, Luo Xi seemed to hear some sound, but he stopped and listened carefully, and then he could no longer hear it.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, as if rolling up a cloud of dust. Luo Xi subconsciously closed his eyes. Almost the next second, he opened his eyes and found himself sitting in an Internet cafe. A line of words was written on the screen: You have left Yongge Supermarket, welcome back next time!
"Yongge Supermarket? Haha, when have I ever been in there?" A trace of confusion appeared on Luo Xi's face.
