Chapter 330 Chance Encounter
"The call came very suddenly. I really didn't expect Zhou Xinpeng to call me. You know, since we cleared the 'Sega Apartment Building' level last time, Zhou Xinpeng was executed on the spot by some force for violating the rules. On the next cycle day, he was resurrected, but became an amnesiac. Moreover, his daughter still committed suicide, which is different from the previous situation where his daughter was still hanging on. I told you about this." Liu Mao narrated seriously.

Luo Xi nodded.

When Brother Mao found out about this matter, he told me about it as soon as possible.

"After that, I didn't pay attention to this matter, because the cycle days kept repeating, so in the next few cycle days, we did our own things. I went out early in the morning, and I really didn't know the situation in the apartment building."

"It wasn't until Zhou Xinpeng called me that I found out that this guy had become a memory restorer without knowing when. He also said that his daughter was missing and wanted me to help him."

"I'm very curious, because I know the necessary conditions to become a memory collector. Either you enter a certain initial scene and are randomly given the last memory by the scene by luck; or you get a [Memory]. Just like me, you gave me a [Memory], and then I embarked on this path."

"But the scene in the Sega apartment building has been abolished. How did Zhou Xinpeng become a memory collector? And how did he know that I was one too? I asked him on the phone at the time, and he said that we should meet and discuss it in detail, and the agreed meeting place is here."

Fatty Qian and Luo Xi had said that this situation was nothing special.

"Later, we discussed it and felt that this matter needed to be investigated. However, to be on the safe side, we left Fatty Qian outside. When we came in, we did see Zhou Xinpeng, but his condition was very strange at the time."

"He doesn't remember contacting you, right?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.

Brother Mao was surprised and nodded: "Yes, we arrived at the entrance of Shuhai Park at the agreed time, but we didn't wait for Zhou Xinpeng. Ke Lan decided to go in first to investigate. As a result, we met him inside. He was a little dazed and in an abnormal state. I asked him, and he denied calling me, but he was indeed looking for his daughter."

"What did he say?"

"Lao Zhou said his daughter was missing, but he said he knew her in this forest. At the time, Lao Zhou looked like a hysterical lunatic, with disheveled hair, pale face, and bloodshot eyes."

"and then?"

"In that situation, it was impossible to communicate with him normally. He just kept repeating, 'My daughter is here' over and over again. We decided to keep him with us, but later..." Mao Ge also looked confused at this time.

"what happened?"

"We got separated."

"Zhou Xinpeng ran away?"

"It wasn't just him, it was all of us. The feeling was very strange, like a blackout from drinking, or a trance, and I found that I was the only one left in the forest, and the others were nowhere to be found. Before that, Wu Rui had opened a shrine and was contaminated by the Grudge. She ran away, and we looked for her, and finally found that she was hanged on a tree and separated from the others. Not long after that, I was also contaminated by the Grudge because I opened the shrine."

As Brother Mao told the story in detail, Luo Xi already had an understanding of the process of their first group wipeout.

"On the second day of the cycle, Zhou Xinpeng disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. It was as if they had never appeared. Do you know what the weirdest thing is?" Brother Mao's face was pale at this time, and it could be seen that this incident scared him.

Because of the unknown, we feel fear.

But Luo Xi is not afraid, he is just curious.

"What is it?"

"Except for us at Shiyi, no one else remembers Zhou Xinpeng's family. I asked my wife, children, and neighbors, and they said that Room 809 of the Sega Apartment Building had never been occupied by anyone."

"Room 809, have you checked it?" Luo Xi now knew why Brother Mao had that expression just now.

This incident was too strange and terrifying even during the days of confinement.

A neighbor who existed has disappeared.

The point is not that they disappeared, but that no one remembered them after they disappeared.

Except for the one who recalls memories.

Because the memory of the person who regains memory can be protected by [Memory].

But not others.

"Luo Xi, what are we? Why can even something like memory be rewritten and deleted at will? Two people who originally existed, a father and daughter, can be wiped out, just like pencil words on paper being erased by an eraser." Brother Mao's voice trembled when he said this.

He is afraid.

Unfortunately, Luo Xi couldn't empathize with him.

"That is to say, you checked Room 809 and found it was empty," Luo Xi guessed the answer.

"Yes!" Liu Mao raised his head and took a deep breath to calm himself. Even though two days had passed since the incident, it was obvious that he still couldn't let it go. "The room is empty, you know? I can tell the difference between a cleaned room and a room that has been idle for a long time. I'm not a fool. The house is very dusty. No one has lived there for at least a few years. I even checked the electric meter. Damn, there's no record. No one remembers them, except me."

"And me!" Luo Xi walked over and patted Brother Mao on the shoulder.

It can be seen that Brother Mao is very scared.

This incident obviously had a great impact on his psychology, like a sharp knife that cut the softest part. "What kind of hell is this world, Luo Xi, you know, I have a weird memory that almost drove me crazy at the time, and you hired a hypnotist to save me. I don't remember those memories, but I know that memories can't be trusted in this place." Mao Ge's face was full of fatigue and fear, and his eyes were bloodshot: "So, what is true and what is false? What will we become in the future? What were we like originally? Xiao Guo said that what he feared most was that after paying a huge price and working hard, everything would return to the starting point. If we lose our memory, we will forget everything before, friendship and the goals we worked hard for. Luo Xi, this is terrible. We may have experienced it countless times, but we don't know it this time."

Brother Mao is shaking.

It has nothing to do with rain.

That is the despair and fear that comes from deep within.

"It's blood rain!"

At this time Luo Xi said something.

"What?" Brother Mao was stunned.

"In addition to catalyzing and transforming the properties of certain shrines, the blood rain also has another function. In conjunction with this forest, it can trigger the emotion of despair!" Luo Xi sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't despair, so I overlooked this point before. In addition, regarding the missing Zhou Xinpeng and his daughter, I also roughly know why they did not appear in Room 809, because they were trapped here. As for the uninhabited Room 809, it is just a mechanism. In fact, you don't have to be so desperate. The real despair is that even [memory] does not exist. At that time, everyone will be amnesiac, and no one will realize that they are trapped on the same day. I think that is despair. It's not now, at least in my opinion, it is far from being achieved."

Luo Xi patted Brother Mao on the shoulder.

"Let's go, I don't have enough time."

The curse that was haunting Luo Xi had already invaded more than half of his body.

From Luo Xi's perspective, half of the other person's body was inside his body, and the remaining half was lying on his back.

And this curse is a familiar face.

Wu Rui!

"It's best to find Wu Rui first. Moreover, it's best if she is still infected by the curse and goes to the stone pagoda shrine to exchange the curse." As Luo Xi was speaking, he suddenly noticed two figures walking on the road in the woods ahead.

As they got closer, they could see each other clearly.

"Luo Xi!" Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui became excited and sped up.

"Brother Mao, look, we are lucky." Luo Xi also said.

A few minutes later, Luo Xi led them back to the stone pagoda shrine quickly. Of course, all the precautions here were also explained in advance.

The same is true in reverse. Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui also gave a concise description of their previous experiences.

"A tall, thin monster holding an umbrella? The bell on the black umbrella. With its powerful strength and strange abilities, it can easily plunder other people's memories. Everyone who encounters it will not remember encountering it. That's right!" Luo Xi nodded: "In this way, many previous questions can be explained."

"We were able to escape thanks to luck. It was already difficult for me to maintain my witch's demonic form at the time. If it weren't for other people attracting the monster, we would have never escaped." Lin Qiqi had a solemn expression. She knew very well how powerful the monster was, so when she found that Luo Xi didn't seem to care, she deliberately reminded him.

"According to the description, the black umbrella monster will not kill people, but will only plunder some memories. If you can escape from it, it will even 'return' the memories it plundered before. Wu Rui's situation illustrates this point. In this way, the design of this scene is not so boring."

It was obvious that Luo Xi didn't listen at all.

Lin Qiqi was helpless.

But she also knew that this was the way it was. Many things that seemed extremely serious to others, or even to her, seemed to be immediately downgraded to trivial matters when they came to Luo Xi.

"So, have you found the monster's weakness?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"Weakness?" Lin Qiqi was stunned.

She obviously also knew that the more powerful all the settings in the level scenes, including monsters, appeared, the greater their weaknesses would be.

She knew the rule.

But to be honest, under the circumstances at that time, her fear was aroused and she had no patience to observe.

"I don't know." Lin Qiqi told the truth.

"It's okay. I have some speculations, but I need to actually find it to be sure."

Judging from what Luo Xi said, even if the black umbrella monster didn't look for him, he would go find it.

"Sure enough, people are different." Lin Qiqi glanced at Wu Rui over there at this time.

The other party's look of despair when he discovered the black umbrella monster was so intense that he almost tried his best to fight.

As a result, when it came to Luo Xi, the terrifying monster seemed to have become his 'prey'.
