Chapter 264: Clues from all sides gather
As soon as Wu Rui finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

"Miss Wu, this is not a joke." Fatty Qian reminded her.

He clearly didn't believe it.

Ke Lan also looked suspicious.

On the other hand, Brother Mao and Guo Zening knew Wu Rui better and knew that she would not joke about such things. If she said she had seen it, it was most likely true.

"I have indeed seen it. To be more precise, I have seen this kind of thing in Lu Ting's hand." Wu Rui took the admission ticket from Ke Lan's hand, checked it front and back, and observed it carefully. Then she confirmed: "It is indeed this thing. Although I only glanced at it at the time, this kind of blood-red ticket is rare, so I remember it clearly. I should not be mistaken."

Lu Ting is Wu Rui's mentor and the guide who taught her many basic knowledge about the Day of Confinement in the initial level scene of "A Day as a Worker".

Of course, Luo Xi later discovered that this Lv Ting was the one who came to "monitor" him, but from some clues, he knew that the other party might not be an enemy, because at that time, there was more than just Lv Ting who was monitoring and even planning to "take action" against Luo Xi. She also killed a killer from the Shiyi people who tried to torture Luo Xi.

"Wu Rui, you said that you spent three consecutive days in the company with Lu Ting. Then which time did you see the bloody bill?" Luo Xi asked.

"The last time, in fact, was about ten minutes before she said she was going to give up. I went to find her and discovered that she was staring blankly at the receipt. When I approached, she hurriedly put the thing away, but I still saw it clearly." Wu Rui was very sure.

Lu Ting, the guide, was very important to her, so she remembered all the details of that time very clearly.

"At that time, she wandered at the entrance of the corridor outside for a long time. I realized something was wrong, so I went to call her. Then she told me that she had given up and wanted to leave." Wu Rui had a strange expression on her face.

After knowing the rules of the 'Fairy Tale Town Admission Ticket', she naturally thought of a possibility.

Lu Ting, maybe she didn't want to leave on her own initiative at that time.

But because of some "accident", he had to interrupt the surveillance of Luo Xi.

Thinking of this, Wu Rui felt her scalp tingling.

The real situation may be much more complicated than she imagined.

"Did you notice anything unusual at that time? Or in other words, have you ever seen a transparent person wearing clothes?" Luo Xi continued to ask.

According to Wu Rui's account, Lu Ting must have met the mayor by chance at that time, and was then forced to give her the "admission ticket".

A normal person who has recovered his memories cannot refuse this kind of "gift".

Lu Ting must have been aware of this problem at the time, so after careful consideration, she made up a lie that she 'gave up' because she was 'tired'.

Logically speaking, this lie should have been very clumsy, but why didn't Wu Rui have any doubts at the time, and even believed it afterwards, and was immersed in emotion and gratitude.

This is indeed very abnormal.

But if this speculation is true, it will lead to many other questions, and these questions are very difficult to explain.

For example, how did the 'mayor of the town' end up in 'a day as a worker'?

"The whereabouts of the mayor, are there any mentions of the pattern of his appearance in the various rumors? Or, what conditions need to be met for him to appear?" Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. Although these questions popped up one by one, various clues were also converging quickly.

Why did the mayor appear in the "Working Day" scene? Was he summoned by someone? Or did he go there on his own?

Also, if the mayor had appeared in the initial scene of "Working Day", why did he only give Lv Ting the admission ticket? Could it be that the mayor discriminated against newcomers?
According to the rules of this initial scene, a new memory collector will be generated every time. If there are multiple memory collectors but only one of them is chosen, then the mayor's behavior is too obvious.

The mayor, or someone who summoned the mayor, obviously wanted to get rid of Lu Ting, which is why he was so targeted.

If we work backwards based on this possibility, we can come to the conclusion that Lu Ting, the memory restorer, is very powerful and very important.

"interesting!"

Luo Xi has already calculated several possibilities, and no matter which one it is, the final result points to one person.

It's him.

"In this case, I must go to Fairy Tale Town." Thinking of this, Luo Xi changed into a set of clothes in the closet in this room, a very new black suit and white shirt, which made him look more mature and stable than usual, especially with his special temperament, making him look very different from usual.

"Clothes make the man, and you look much more handsome in this suit." Wu Rui couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She stared straight at him, not hiding her thoughts at all.

"Fatty!" Luo Xi glanced at Fatty Qian, who immediately stepped forward and said, "Luo Ju, if you order me, I will not blink an eye, even if I have to go through fire and water."

"Go to the Time Gathering House and find out as much information as possible about 'Fairy Tale Town', no matter how big or small. Regardless of whether it is true or false, synchronize the situation to our discussion group. When necessary, you can exchange information with cards." Luo Xi took out a stack of cards and handed them over.

Quite a few.

"I understand. Leave it to me." Fatty Qian nodded, looking eager to try.

"You may not be able to handle it alone, Guo Zening, you and Fatty should go together." Luo Xi added.

"Okay." Guo Zening nodded immediately.

"Also, think about it, is there any way to bring this dog back to life? Or, it may not be a strict 'resurrection'." Luo Xi pointed to the guard dog corpse he brought back.

"Boss, I actually know a way. There is a level scene not far from here. After clearing the level, there is a chance to get a card called [Undead]. This card can transform corpses into undead, but it can only be effective within one cycle day. Undead creatures are almost the same as when they were alive, and their memories and abilities can be inherited."

The one who spoke was Ke Lan.

Luo Xi nodded: "Brother Mao, Wu Rui, come with me and follow Ke Lan to that scene first."

Once the plan is made, the next step is execution.

Fatty Qian and Guo Zening rushed to the Time Assembly Hall together, while Luo Xi and Ke Lan took the guard dog's corpse to attack the [Undead].

On the way, Ke Lan explained the situation of that level scene in the car.

"That level is open all day long. The mechanism is not complicated, but it hides great dangers. If you are not careful, you may be killed in it. Moreover, the card [Undead] does not appear every time." Ke Lan said what he knew: "I tried to conquer it once before, but I did not succeed in the challenge due to the cost. After I figured out that this level is actually very tricky, I did not go there again. But it is said that some people who collect memories are specifically conquering this scene. I guess they also go there for [Undead]. If I can exchange information with these veterans, things will be simpler."

"If necessary, we don't reject this method." Luo Xi said.

Ke Lan then quickly recounted the challenge process of that level scene.

"It's a box guessing game. One player participates alone, and no one else is allowed to help. Finding the box containing the 'grand prize' from the nine boxes is considered a clearance. You can then get a random card, and among the randomly obtained cards, there may be a [Undead]."

"There are three types of boxes: 'jackpot box', 'trap box' and 'empty box'."

"To open a box, you need to spend a [Memory]. However, if the total number of boxes decreases, the [Memory] spent on opening a box will double. You can buy hints in the game, but the hints will not point to which box has the grand prize. They will only give some rough hints, such as 'the grand prize will not be in which box'. To buy hints, you also need to spend [Memory]. You can also choose to spend [Memory] to exclude an 'empty box'. Of course, the cost of excluding empty boxes will double with the number of times. The more troublesome thing here is the 'trap box', because once you accidentally open the 'trap box', you may find 'death' inside, which means you will be killed directly. There are also other traps, such as: blindness, finger amputation, or slightly better ones, which can impose negative states such as 'double the cost of the next round of selections' and the result of 'complete all boxes immediately'. In other words, if you spend a lot of money to exclude the number of boxes to only three or four, and then draw this trap box, the number of boxes will be replenished to nine. It's like going back to the days before liberation overnight!"

Ke Lan explained the rules of that level scene as comprehensively as possible.

Luo Xi was listening carefully.

In the car, others were also listening carefully to the rules of this scene.

When Ke Lan finished speaking, Brother Mao was still digesting and understanding, but Wu Rui was quick-witted and had already understood the core of the game.

"That is to say, if we want to obtain [Undead], it is not enough to just clear the level once, because even if we clear the level, we only have a chance of drawing [Undead]."

"That's right. So when the time comes, if everyone of us participates, then if we pass the level, the chance of drawing a [Undead] will be higher. According to the information I know, the chance of drawing a [Undead] is about one in three."

"One third is not a small number. If three of us clear the level, then the possibility of at least one of us obtaining [Undead] is very high."

"However, it is not so easy to find the [Big Prize] box at a relatively low cost. Even if we do not consider the cost of the [Memory] card and eliminate all the 'empty boxes' first, there will inevitably be a few 'trap boxes'. Once you make a wrong choice, at best you will be incurring a negative state, or all your efforts to complete the box will be wasted. At worst, you will lose your limbs, or even die!" Ke Lan was not so optimistic about this matter.

Because he had participated in this game and had a relatively good understanding of the mechanics, he knew that this level was definitely not that easy to pass.
