Chapter 240 Only a madman would think so
Luo Xi answered the phone while walking on the quiet streets.
This place is more than two kilometers away from his residence. He did not deliberately choose a certain street or road, but walked completely based on his feeling.
The time came to five twenty-seven in the morning.
On the phone, Lin Qiqi was still talking.
Her speaking speed was not slow, but she was able to speak very clearly and concisely enough.
Luo Xi likes this way of expression.
Simple, clear, and never verbose.
This is in line with Lin Qiqi's capable and straightforward personality.
During the whole process, Luo Xi did not interrupt Lin Qiqi, which is something that Lin Qiqi appreciates about Luo Xi.
Never ask stupid questions.
Both parties can clearly understand what the other party wants to express, and at the same time understand the other party’s thoughts that are not expressed but exist in their hearts.
This is a tacit understanding.
If you can meet someone who truly understands you in your life, even if it is only one, you will be luckier than most people.
". This is what happened. After Lin Yixuan walked in and closed the strange door, the six Dings and six Jias in the supermarket started arguing with each other, and even quarreled for some reason. Not long after, the whole supermarket fell into darkness, and then there seemed to be a violent explosion in the sky."
"Wait a minute!" Luo Xi interrupted Lin Qiqi's story for the first time, "Did you see the explosion clearly?"
this point is very important.
Luo Xi was on the second floor of Sunshine Internet Cafe at the time, but he did not see the explosion. He just felt the violent vibration and heard a loud noise.
"No, but... from the window of Yongge Supermarket, I saw a bright light coming from above, as if something exploded. The dazzling white light was enough to blind a person, and this light only existed for a moment. I fell into darkness, and then entered this cycle of days!" Lin Qiqi described every detail of what she saw and experienced as accurately as possible.
She knew very well that Luo Xi was several dimensions better than her in terms of detail analysis and reasoning.
"So Luo Xi, what do you think about all this?" Lin Qiqi was actually very curious. Something extremely bizarre and unusual must have happened in the last cycle day, because all of them were forced to 'die' and enter the next cycle day.
This was the first time such a thing had happened in Lin Qiqi's memory, which had been preserved for more than a hundred cycles.
"Rather than saying that we were forced to die, it would be better to say that someone forcibly restarted the cycle!" Luo Xi's answer stunned Lin Qiqi.
She thought about it and asked, "Is there any difference between restarting after death and restarting after force?"
“Yes, and the difference is huge.”
"Wait a minute, you mean that someone restarted it. Then who is this person?" Lin Qiqi suddenly realized something, she felt cold all over, even her scalp was numb.
Luo Xi's words just now were based on a precondition.
That is, the entire day of confinement was controlled by a certain 'existence'.
this is too scary.
Although Lin Qiqi herself, as well as many senior memory-collectors, have thought of this possibility, it is generally recognized as just a rather crazy guess.
Many people think that only crazy people would think that way.
Because if this speculation is true, then wouldn't everyone become a plaything of some "existence"?
So, where exactly is the day of confinement?
Is there really a god in this world?
"They are not the same person. They may even be enemies," Luo Xi suddenly said again, but Lin Qiqi didn't understand at all.
"What? Luo Xi, what are you talking about, who?"
"Qiqi, let's meet and talk." Luo Xi didn't say much, and Lin Qiqi immediately realized that Luo Xi meant that the subsequent conversation needed to be kept absolutely confidential, so she didn't ask any more questions, but replied: "Okay, then I'll go find you? Where are you?"
"I'm here." When Luo Xi looked up and was about to look at the road sign, he suddenly heard a burst of music.
Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick~tick-tick-tick~~~
It's "Für Alice"!
Luo Xi was stunned.
He was very familiar with this tune. In fact, anyone who had a little knowledge of music, or even an ordinary person, would often hear this piece of music or its variations, because this tune was so classic.
Luo Xi looked around and found that the sound came from an alley at the corner in front, and the sound was very small.
"Qiqi, I'm hanging up first!" Luo Xi hung up the phone.
He followed the sound and entered the alley, then found a shop with lights on next to the fourth street lamp in front of him. When he got closer, he found that the music was coming from the shop.
"Mystery Story Interpretation Hall".
The sign was very eye-catching and the store was very simple. Luo Xi walked up and looked through the glass, then pushed the door and walked in.
Jingle bell bell~
There was a bell on the door.
There was incense and thick carpets inside. There were many photos on the wall opposite, but most of them were blurry and distorted, as if overexposed. On the right was a not very spacious hall, where many people were already present.
Either standing or sitting on the few sofas, drinking coffee in hand.
By the way, apart from the smell of incense, the rest of the room is just a faint smell of coffee.
Luo Xi's arrival naturally made everyone in the room turn their heads to take a look, but it was just a casual glance before they went back to their own business.
As for Luo Xi, his eyes swept across everyone in the room, and then looked at a tall figure at the bar over there.
Just one glance and he was stunned.
The tall figure behind the bar was wearing a neat and well-fitting suit and a horse's head on his head. It was not a hood, nor a mask.
They are completely flesh and blood. A similar situation has been encountered in "The Haunted Mansion". Of course, I have seen it more often in the Liu Ding and Liu Jia in Yongge Supermarket.
Coincidentally, including the Ghost Building and Yongge Supermarket, there are only three things among the Six Dings and Six Jias that Luo Xi has not seen.
Ding Chou, Jia Wu and Jia Yin.
Noon is opposite to the horse.
Isn’t this the centaur we see now?
The people here did not show any surprise towards the horsemen, which only shows that they are all people of Shiyi and know where this place is.
A level scene that is open at a specific time.
Hey~
At this moment, the centaur at the bar raised his hand and pressed the bar bell on the table, then said: "The last game will start soon. Participants, please follow me."
After saying that, he reached out and turned off the light at the door and the leisurely music.
The lights at the entrance over there went out.
Obviously from this moment on, even if someone passed by outside or wanted to come in again, it would not be possible.
This place is undoubtedly one of those level scenes with specific 'business hours'.
Luo Xi looked at the current time.
Five thirty-seven.
Under normal circumstances, many people who have regained their memories during the days of confinement, including myself, have not yet "woken up" at this time.
But there must be people who can wake up early and regain their memories.
Just like the people in this room.
For example, Xu Lin, who came early in the morning to make noodle soup for herself.
Luo Xi and the others followed the horseman, or Jiawu, into a door at the back.
Surprisingly, there was a very spacious hall inside.
The small hall before seemed very crowded, but here it suddenly became spacious. At a rough glance, the hall alone is more than 60 square meters.
The centaur stood in the middle at this time, looked around and said: "Remind you, if you don't want to participate in the game, you can leave now. If you stay, it is assumed that you all participate in the game."
While speaking, he pointed to the small door over there.
Luo Xi took a look.
There is obviously something wrong with this matter. If you want to leave, why don't you leave through the original entrance, but have to go through that small door?
The career card of [Continuously Excited] seems to conflict with [Absolute Rationality], and a problem that arises from this is suspicion.
Even after seeing the small door, Luo Xi had a picture in his mind.
If you go through that small door, you will die.
Even the ways of dying, he had already imagined no less than ten ways in just a few tenths of a second.
Anyway, if he were to design this level scene, he would start the game from the moment he stepped through the door, rather than starting it at the so-called "announcement of start".
Therefore, if one regards what the centaur is saying now as part of a game, the other party can completely add an element of 'deception' into the explanation.
It is said that you can leave, but in reality, leaving means death and early elimination.
This is a good level scene and a good game.
Of course, no one left.
"Very good, then I will announce the game content now. Of course, I need to remind everyone that, just like other scene games, your personal communication devices will be blocked after entering the scene until you finish the game content and leave the scene."
The centaur then pulled a stack of cards from his pocket.
"I will choose a memory collector and randomly draw one of these plot cards as the theme of this mystery plot performance. You can all witness it. It is absolutely fair and just."
After saying this, the Centaur began to shuffle the cards, but from beginning to end, he did not reveal the cards.
Then he placed a stack of cards on the table, spread them out, and looked at the memory collector in the room.
"Everyone, I have actually seen many of you before, and some of you have been here more than once. After all, as a scene manager, I can save my memories even without using [Memory]. And this time, I want a new face to draw the cards."
After saying that, he looked towards Luo Xi.
"Sir, are you willing to draw the theme card for this plot?"
Everyone looked over.
But the expressions are normal.
Luo Xi nodded, walked to the table where the stack of cards was spread out, and picked up one at random.
The centaur took it and showed it to everyone.
"The theme this gentleman has drawn is the chaotic killing type of "Roll Call". This is a very rare theme here. It has rarely been drawn in the past, and most people have never experienced it. This will definitely give you a very novel experience."
The horse man's words sounded like boasting.
"I can't wait any longer." The centaur laughed. "Then I'll briefly explain the process."
