Chapter 290 Let’s Talk
Faced with this sudden situation, Luo Xi remained extremely calm, with no change in his actions or expression, and asked very naturally, "What's your number?"

"Me? I'm No. 79." The man saw that Luo Xi's aura was more ferocious than his, and he couldn't figure out where he came from. His aura was not as strong as before, and he looked suspicious.

"I'm number 79 too." When Luo Xi lied, even without using the word "lie", it looked no different from the truth.

"Impossible! Could those guys in the Darkfurnace Tavern have made a mistake?" The other party seemed to have come up with a possibility on his own.

"That's possible, but don't worry, you came here first, so I'll let you go first." Luo Xi was very generous.

"Well, brother, you are easy to talk to."

At this moment, there was a sound of something breaking downstairs, and then the mean stepmother began to scream and curse.

"Cinderella, where have you been? Come and clean it up quickly. Also, clean the stains on the floor immediately. If you wait too long, they won't be able to be washed off."

"Hurry up, you are stalling for time on purpose, right? You are so lazy."

"Seeing you, I have lost my appetite."

In the attic.

Luo Xi glanced at the man opposite him and whispered, "I can't go down for now. I'll find a place to hide for a while. Don't worry, I won't disturb you."

The man nodded, and suddenly thought of something. He stared at Luo Xi and said, "Wait a minute, let me see your license plate."

Luo Xi didn't know what the license plate number was.

But he didn't ask, but took out the things naturally.

Then he threw something over.

"then!"

"Hey~"

The next moment, Luo Xi activated a card, and almost the next second after he activated the card, the other party also activated a card in his hand.

Then, Luo Xi felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

Nothing can be seen.

But only the vision is impaired, and other body functions are intact.

The opponent used [Blindness], while Luo Xi used [Paralysis].

Neither card effect will kill someone immediately, but it can give you the absolute initiative in subsequent attacks.

However, [Paralysis] means that the whole person is temporarily unable to move, and [Blindness] means that the eyes cannot see.

Luo Xi can still move.

At this moment, in the other party's eyes, Luo Xi's eyes were dim and he had become a blind man, but this blind man rushed over quickly, covered his mouth very accurately, and stabbed him five times in the limbs and chest with a knife.

This way, even if the [Paralysis] effect wears off, the opponent won't be able to counterattack.

"Hush, your tendons are all broken, and now the knife is stuck in your chest, less than an inch away from your heart. If I use a little force, you will die. I know you are not afraid of death, but you must know very well what death in Fairy Tale Town means. It's like a game that requires one life to pass. If you reach the second level, the third level, and die, you have to start from the first level again."

"Who are you?" the man asked coldly, "If you kill me, you will break the rules of the Darkforge Tavern and you will not survive. Not only will you not survive, but you will also suffer a very miserable fate in Storybrooke."

"So, the Darkforge Tavern is very powerful?"

"Have you just arrived?" The man was stunned, then sneered: "Then you are quite impressive. You can find this place without buying information from the Darkforge Tavern. You..."

puff~
Before the other party could finish speaking, Luo Xi pierced the other party's heart with force.

Immediately afterwards, the person who was controlled collapsed.

The reason why he suddenly took action was because Luo Xi felt someone coming up.

Although the other party's movements were very light, Luo Xi still noticed it.

Maybe he's an accomplice of this person.

It could have been someone else.

In this situation, Luo Xi could only make a decision immediately.

Obviously, those who can continue to explore the scenes in the fairy tale town are not simple. After all, it is a place where the strong survive and the weak have been eliminated long ago.

But now Luo Xi's eyes are affected by [blindness], and it seems that he cannot recover in a short time. Facing another experienced memory restorer, it can be said that he has no chance of winning.

As for the idea of ​​'acting' and 'disguising', Luo Xi would never think about it.

The reason is very simple. Crazy Lion was guarding at the back, which was the only entrance to the building besides the main entrance. Since Crazy Lion didn't find it, it meant that the 'second person' had been in the building from the beginning.

It should be hidden in some inconspicuous corner.

But no matter where I hid before, the other party knew that I entered later.

So forget about acting or anything like that, you’ll get killed faster that way.

But now it is too late even if we call the mad lion up.

At this moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Luo Xi's mind, but he did not show any panic. On the contrary, he was very calm. According to his memory, he adjusted the angle of his body and face to the entrance of the attic.

It was quiet in the attic.

Luo Xi couldn't see the other person, but he knew that someone was standing at the door of the attic, staring at him.

[Blindness] There are many types of this type of card in the Day of Imprisonment.

Belongs to the category of spells.

It needs to be used in conjunction with [Mana] or [Resentment], but there is almost no permanent blindness. The duration is generally three seconds, six seconds, ten seconds, one minute and ten minutes.

The value of [blindness] at different times is naturally different.

Luo Xi estimated that the one he was hit by would cause him to be blind for at least one minute.

This guy who died definitely suffered a big loss this time.

And only twenty-seven seconds had passed from the time I was hit to now. I calculated the remaining time silently in my mind. It can be said that it was too long.

But the other party did not attack.

This is a good thing. It means there is something to talk about.

But blindly waiting is not advisable, as it is tantamount to giving up the decision-making power.

"I am No. 79. Doing this is good for me and you too." Luo Xi threw out a bait.

Although he couldn't see it, Luo Xi already roughly knew the other person's identity.

In the large scene of Node 2, it is not easy to figure out which fairy tale this is.

Luo Xi also accidentally heard the name Cinderella "Cinderella" while watching the hanging of criminals.

In fact, many people only know Cinderella but not her name. Even if they know it, it is easy to overlook it. It was because of this accident that Luo Xi was able to find Cinderella’s residence in this vast crowd, thus determining the fairy tale prototype of Node No. 2.

It is conceivable that if it were any other memory collector, they might wander here for a long time without being able to confirm, let alone find, the residence of Cinderella Cinderella.

But someone can still find it.

After all, there are not many people who remember memories in the fairy tale town, but after a long time, there are hundreds of them.

Because it is hard to find, this can actually become a business.

This business is now controlled by the Darkforge Tavern.

From the few words revealed by the person before, Luo Xi could be sure of this, so since it was a business, it could be "negotiated".

Darkfurnace Tavern, there must be someone special watching here.

The person who came up later should be this kind of 'stalker'.

They killed their clients themselves, and no matter what the result was, the stalkers were derelict in their duty. The foundation for an organization to grow and develop is 'clear rewards and punishments', which is reasonable and inevitable.

However, no matter how good a system is, it has its drawbacks and limitations.

This is an objective law, because there is no such thing as perfection in the world.

This is true for people and for systems as well.

So, when circumstances permit, turning a blind eye can avoid the punishment for dereliction of duty, which is a great temptation for any "individual".

Those with weak minds are more likely to fall into it.

Then, Luo Xi took out two gold coins from his arms and threw them forward.

No sound of gold coins falling to the ground was heard.

The other party caught it.

Bribing others with money was originally a joke during the days of imprisonment, but here, at Node 2, Luo Xi understood that money still had a certain value, because since he could not escape, he could only live in Fairy Tale Town.

And here money can make people live more comfortably.

"make a deal!"

The voice came from behind Luo Xi.

Then, there was the sound of something being dragged, and ten seconds later, Luo Xi's [blindness] was lifted.

The first thing he did when he regained his sight was to look behind him.

no one.

The body on the ground was gone.

In addition to the bloodstains, there was also a copper coin with the letters 'AL' engraved on the front and the number 79 on the back.

This should be the so-called 'number plate'.

AL, probably stands for 'Darkforge Tavern'.

The other party accepted this secret deal. Of course, this does not mean that everything is fine. It may just be a means for the other party to do something. It is also possible that the other party will suddenly regret it at some point. It is also possible that this is some kind of conspiracy.
But for Luo Xi, his goal was achieved.

Although the process is very dangerous.

Luo Xi put the copper coin away and began to look for something to wipe the blood off the ground.

Handle the scene in an orderly manner.

During this process, Luo Xi was still thinking.

"The Darkforge Tavern treats contact with Cinderella as a business, and there is a brand name, which means that this should be a way to obtain a certain 'digital ticket' in the current scene, but how should it be done specifically? Just hide here and stare at Cinderella?"

Luo Xi felt that this matter was not that simple.

Although he guessed several possibilities, they were just guesses after all, and the specific situation needed to be confirmed.

Thinking of this, Luo Xi looked around, then summoned the card book and took out a few cards from it.

In the past, Luo Xi did not rely particularly on the power of cards.

In his opinion, the best way to solve the problem is to defeat the enemy without bloodshed.

Taking action is considered "attacking the city below", and it is only used when it is a last resort.

This also led to a large accumulation of various spell cards in Luo Xi's card book.

Although there were many cards, Luo Xi knew exactly what they were, how many there were, and what their specific functions were. At this moment, he took out a [Broken Bone], a [Battlefield Infantry], a [Counter Curse], and several [Mana], [Food], and a stack of [Gold Coins] cards.

"almost!"

He quickly came down from the attic, then opened the window at the end of the corridor on the second floor and climbed out.

Somewhere on the roof, Luo Xi saw a tightly wrapped corpse.

And here, there is more than one corpse.

"Let's talk!" Luo Xi said to the air over there.

After a long time, a figure slowly appeared.
