Chapter 259 I Won’t Say Anything
On the way, Luo Xi thought that the disappeared "Sunshine Internet Cafe" must be related to the "driver" who suddenly came to talk to him. And according to logic, the "Ghost Building" related to the Sunshine Internet Cafe and Yongge Supermarket should also be eliminated.

This is the best way to solve the problem once and for all.

But the result was not.

Then there are several possibilities, one of which is that the "haunted building" in front is already a trap.

The reason why Lin Qiqi and the others were not allowed to follow was because of this consideration.

As he got closer, Luo Xi saw a "Temporarily Closed" sign hanging outside the room at the entrance. It was obviously written temporarily, and the paint hadn't even dried yet.

The door was also closed and there seemed to be no one there.

If there wasn't that sign, Luo Xi might have thought so, but the sign betrayed the person inside.

Observe along the way, then walk over and knock on the door.

No one responded.

Then keep knocking.

After knocking for a few minutes, I heard some movement inside, the sound of someone walking in slippers.

After a while, the door opened.

It was Old Yao’s wrinkled old face.

The other person had a gloomy expression on his face, as if he knew the person coming was Luo Xi. He did not open the door completely, but only opened it halfway, then pointed at the sign outside.

"You are blind. Close your business and go find another troublemaker."

After that, close the door.

Luo Xi said nothing, just looked at the other person.

In the end, the door was not closed.

"Hey, damn, come in."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked back. Luo Xi followed him in and then closed the door.

The room was not big and was a mess inside, with a style similar to Lao Wang's security duty room. Starched socks were placed on the table, next to them were leftover steamed buns and a bucket of instant noodles, and on the other side was half a plate of fermented bean curd, so it was not surprising to smell some strange mixed odors here.

"The scene is under maintenance and will not be open recently. But I have a new game. You can try it if you are not afraid." Lao Yao said.

He picked up a tattered box from the side and placed it on the small table. Then he sat on the stool next to it and opened the paper box.

Inside was an old chess set.

There is a chessboard on the table. It is a large wooden board painted with paint. The boundary between Chu and Han is very clear. The thing itself is not very good, but the words are nice.

"Want to play chess?" Luo Xi asked.

"Yes, one [Memory] in the next round. If you win, I will return you two. You can also raise the bet and use a functional card instead of [Memory]. Similarly, I will return the functional card. To put it bluntly, you give me a [Spell], I give you a [Spell], you give me a [Curse], I give you a [Curse]."

"Okay, let's play the next game first." Luo Xi also sat on a small stool and took out a [Memory] and handed it over.

Now, Luo Xi has quite a few [Memory] cards. In the card book, there are nearly thirty [Memory] cards, which are enough for him to use.

So each of them placed their chess pieces, with pawns facing each other and horses and cannons in place, and they were ready to fight.

"Headshot!"

"Jump the horse!"

"I'll go right!"

"I'll also go right!"

"I'm photogenic!"

“I’m photogenic too!”

"Arm your pawn!"

"Advance troops!"

"Get out of the car!"

"The assistant."

The wooden chess pieces hit the wooden chessboard with a snapping sound, making people wonder if the pieces would break next time.

The two men attacked fiercely, but in the end Luo Xi was defeated by the chain horse routine.

"Haha, it's still my two old horses that will kill you." Old Yao was extremely proud: "You kid don't know how to use horses, but you don't know that real masters can use horses to perfection."

"Again!" Luo Xi calmly rearranged the chess pieces and gave Lao Yao another card, but this time it was a functional spell card.

"You will lose again if we play a few more games." Old Yao stared at the chessboard with great concentration.

"Lao Yao, you..." In the middle game, both sides suffered losses. Luo Xi tried to ask, but was interrupted by Lao Yao on the other side before he could finish: "Luo Xi, I don't know you well. If you ask, I won't tell you anything. We can play chess, but forget about chatting."

Luo Xi nodded.

It looks like this place is under surveillance.

Also normal.

This is consistent with Luo Xi's previous inference of "trap".

The reason why Lao Yao was not liquidated was that he must have thought of a way. Moreover, Lao Yao knew that he would come, and the "driver" must have known it as well.

It's like another chess game.

The difference is that at this moment, he can lose the chess game between him and Lao Yao, but he cannot lose the game in which he has entered the game himself.

"Ha, you lost again. This move is called sacrificing a piece to gain the upper hand. You are not good at playing chess. You don't know what it means to rather lose a horse than lose the upper hand. This means that you win when you get the piece first, and lose when you get the piece but lose the upper hand. You are so naive."

"The river is three feet wide, and the wisdom is ten thousand feet deep. Let's play another game." Luo Xi continued to place the chess pieces and handed over the card. This time he gave a creature card. It was very precious.

During the Days of Imprisonment, creature cards are obviously the most difficult to obtain among the several types of cards. Because they are difficult to obtain, they are precious and rare.

In the third game, Luo Xi was thinking hard, while Lao Yao was also very focused. The two of them didn't even talk to each other. Apart from the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the board, the only words left were "stepping on the cannon" and "checkmate".

Ten minutes later.

"General, you lost again!" Old Yao roared triumphantly, and the chess pieces made a loud clapping sound.

Luo Xi took a look and threw away the chess piece in his hand: "I don't want to play anymore!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out, as if he was suppressing a feeling of unhappiness. However, when he reached the door, he turned his head and asked again: "You really don't have anything to say?"

"No, I still say the same thing, I won't say anything." Old Yao took a sip of tea proudly.

Luo Xi snorted coldly, slammed the door and left.

"Ah, bah~" Old Yao spat out a mouthful of tea leaves behind him. Without even cleaning up his chess stall, he just walked back to the recliner, lay down, and started rocking with a creaking sound.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out from the shadows in the room.

quietly.

It seemed that the figure had been there from the very beginning, but it was perfectly integrated with the shadow.

The figure was holding a notepad and writing on it with a pen.

At what time did Luo Xi arrive? No problems were found during the conversation. Playing chess. Step 1, step 137. No abnormalities were found. Administrator Yao Shan, employee level: elite C level. No collusion with Luo Xi was found. However, given his past relationship with Luo Xi, he needs to be continuously monitored and observed. Prior to this, Yao Shan reported Jiashen and Jiazi. The reports were proven to be effective. If no violations of company regulations are found, he will be considered for promotion.
After writing, the figure tore off the page of paper, and then the page was swallowed by the darkness and disappeared as if it had sunk to the bottom of the water.

The figure disappeared into the shadows again, as if it had never appeared.

"How is it?" Seeing Luo Xi coming over, Lin Qiqi immediately went to greet him.

"I lost three cards." Luo Xi smiled, then looked at An Zhiyan: "The guy named Liang Qu from your association, give me his phone number."

The latter nodded.

"No need to give it to him, just use your phone and call him now."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, An Zhiyan had already handed him the phone.

The phone rang a few times and then was picked up.

"Liang Qu, have you left the city?"

"Hey, who are you? How do you know me?"

"I'm Luo Xi."

"It's you. Damn it. How come you are the same as the fortune teller from my hometown? It's a bit scary. Fatty Qian is right. You are really different from others. Yes, I did leave the city, and I didn't die this time. I'm still alive."

“Are there any cars on the road?”

"Yes, quite a lot."

"I need to ask you a favor."

"Go ahead, we are friends, I will help you if I can."

"If you reach your destination successfully, please help me take a look at the level scene over there, and get in touch with the memory collectors over there to see what's different from ours."

"I know what you mean. Don't worry. I would do the same even if you didn't tell me."

Luo Xi returned the phone to An Zhiyan.

Turning his head to take a look at the eerie haunted building, Luo Xi knew that he couldn't come here again for at least a while.

Otherwise, it would harm Old Yao.

Just now, Lao Yao had exchanged some information with him through some hints.

Including but not limited to, Jiawu, that is, Lao Ma has a problem; Lao Yao is under surveillance, but it is not a big problem because he not only reported the monkey in Jiashen, but also betrayed the big rat in Jiazi.

Lao Yao was helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Because he is still following the instructions he gave before.

On the other hand, Jiazi is indeed one of his own, but unfortunately, his mental state is not good. Like Dingmao, he is already a little bit crazy, but his condition is not as serious as Dingmao. Originally, after Luo Xi obtained all the components of the [Mental Patient] occupation card, he unlocked [Mental Capture] and [Mental Transfer], which could cure the crazy Dingmao and Jiazi, but some things can't go completely according to plan.

There will still be some deviations between actual operations and plans.

Luo Xi believed that when his 'past self' was making plans, he must have hoped that he would have unlocked [Mental Patient] when he encountered Jiazi and Dingmao.

But things don't always go as planned. One wrong move or the slightest deviation can lead to a completely different result.

Ding Mao died.

But the plan should have taken this extreme possibility into account, so Lao Yao must have been specifically instructed that if he encountered such a situation, he must protect himself and sell out Jiazi or Dingmao.

This is called 'sacrificing the rook to save the king'.

So it is almost impossible to get anything from these two people.

But on the other hand, Luo Xi was not worried that the "driver" could obtain any key information from Ding Mao and Jia Zi. Even if these two "crazy people" with confused minds had some information, it was "encrypted", and the "key" to decrypt it was in his hands.

Essentially, the appearance of the ‘driver’ is definitely a failure for the other party.

Just as Luo Xi said, when a person stares into the abyss, the abyss will also stare into this person.

Contact is relative.

There is no question of who is superior and who is inferior.

The driver's self-explosion was more like an invisible circle, a key piece of information that Luo Xi was missing, which helped him connect some originally unrelated clues together.
