Chapter 360 Avoiding the Hour
In the silent and dim corridor, Luo Xi was walking quickly.

Like a ghost walking in the darkness.

Soon, he found a fork in the road.

But he didn't seem to hesitate at all and chose a corridor to the left instead of a door to the right.

He was fast, even, without hesitation.

After discovering a collapsed deep pit, he would even quicken his pace, rush over and jump down directly.

The pit seemed to be bottomless, and it was as if Luo Xi had jumped from a tall building, falling rapidly. However, soon, he landed in another corridor again, and the angle and center of gravity of the original downward fall also shifted by 90 degrees.

He stretched out his hands and feet forward, and slid for a few meters on a smooth ground. Then he rolled over to get rid of the inertia and stood up again.

The structure of the entire maze, the areas are chaotic, and the gravity is also chaotic.

There is an eye clock here, but Luo Xi just took a look at it. After closing his eyes, he rushed to another direction. On the eve of the next vibration, he opened a door next to him and walked in.

Almost the moment he stepped in, a vibration occurred.

Luo Xi had a blank expression on his face. After the vibration ended, he continued to move forward quickly.

After discovering that the eye clock here was closed, Luo Xi only paused for two seconds before noticing the secret codes and numbers engraved under the closed eyes.

"It's An Zhiyan!"

Luo Xi was not surprised at this discovery.

Among the people who came this time, only An Zhiyan and Wu Rui might have this kind of tacit understanding with him.

You can never rely on the brain of a mad lion.

The others were not very familiar with the scene, and they had not agreed on any secret codes. What's more, this time, they all entered the scene passively, and suddenly entered a scene where everything was unknown. A normal person would still be confused at this time, let alone understand the mechanism and gameplay of the scene, and I'm afraid they wouldn't even pay attention to some obvious clues.

After seeing the mark left by An Zhiyan, Luo Xi left immediately and made a choice of the fork in the road in advance.

From the secret code left by An Zhiyan, one can tell the time on the clock when his eyes are closed. In addition, there is also the "route" left by An Zhiyan.

Of course, this route has nothing to do with passing the level. It is just her personal choice of the fork in the road. Doing so naturally has its benefits. If her route is safe, then these secret code marks will continue. If they are interrupted somewhere, it means that the route is not safe.

So, this reminder becomes a warning.

Luo Xi performed several 'vibration conversions' along the route left by An Zhiyan, and then chose another direction halfway.

the reason is simple.

"An Zhiyan is dead!"

Obviously, Luo Xi has already understood the mechanism of this scene.

"This scene combines time and space together and binds them with certain rules. In addition to the time on the clock, the more important one is the choice of 'fork in the road' in each small environment. An Zhiyan probably didn't notice that there are emergency signs near all the passages and forks in the road, indicating the direction. So, in this scene, in addition to time and space, there is also the element of direction. Once the direction is added, the direction can be matched with the 'eight gates'. In this way, we must try to avoid the 'death gate', as well as the 'startling gate' and the 'injury gate'."

"At present, the 'death gate' at the fork in the road in the scene, which is determined by the position and direction, should correspond to the 'hour' time, while the 'shock gate' and 'injury gate' are time nodes with a 0 at the end. However, relatively speaking, you only need to avoid the 'death gate' at the hour to continue. An Zhiyan did not discover this, so she died."

Luo Xi estimated that if he accidentally stepped into a certain "hourly" time zone, he would immediately suffer a fatal attack.

Although An Zhiyan has the [Werewolf Curse], she cannot resist it.

In fact, if a person is careful and does not rush in, the possibility of encountering a 'death door' is very small. However, that is equivalent to restraining one's own hands and feet. Although one will not die temporarily, one will be trapped in this place.

For Luo Xi, neither death nor being trapped was the result he wanted.

What he wants is to pass the level and find the truth.

Before this, he had already determined that this was 'Zhou Ya', a trap set by Wei Si for himself.

The other party has an accomplice.

That was the 'Zhou Di' who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, like a living dead.

This scene was designed and triggered by Zhou Di.

The other party waited until he stepped into the trap and immediately triggered the mechanism.

However, Luo Xi was also very curious about Zhou Di.

After being drawn into the scene, Zhou Di clearly evolved into a concrete body in the scene.

The young man in black.

At that time, Luo Xi was thrown into darkness, but before that, the other party said something.

"Luo Xi, why did you come back?"

This sentence is very problematic.

It was obvious that the other person knew him, and might even have been someone he was very familiar with.

"Why do you want to come back?" This means that in the other person's eyes, you have gone somewhere, and in the other person's eyes, you should not come back.

Luo Xi naturally had many speculations about this matter, but in his opinion, none of them was as good as actually finding Zhou Di and asking him again.

As for this scene, it is very creative and can definitely trap and kill most of the people who have recalled their past.

But this does not include myself.

If the previous judgment that Zhou Di and himself were acquaintances was true, then Zhou Di could not be unaware of his own abilities. In this place, it was impossible for him to trap and kill himself. In Luo Xi's opinion, this was more like a very "perfunctory" behavior. But no matter what the truth was, they needed to find the exit of this "maze" scene, and Zhou Di was most likely hiding at that exit.

Luo Xi needs to talk to the other party.

As for this scene, for the time being, it can be understood as a kind of "test".

Only if you pass it can you see the other person. If you fail, it may be extremely difficult to find Zhou Di again.

So Luo Xi needs to pass the level in the shortest time possible.

This way, he won't be able to take care of other people.

Luo Xi can tell what is important and what is not.

Be it An Zhiyan, Wu Rui, or Yu Xiaoru, none of them could become something that restricted or restrained him.

To pass the level, you still need to combine the three elements of time, space and direction.

Luo Xi needs to find a safe space, a place that is the "gate of life", and of course, he also needs to look at the time.

For those who have thoroughly understood the rules of the scene, passing the level is not difficult at all.

If Luo Xi didn't need to wait for the 'vibration' to change the scene, his speed would be even faster.

After half an hour.

Luo Xi entered a scene, and there was actually a three-way intersection in front of him. The direction was different, and the direction of the 'life gate' that he had been looking for also appeared.

However, at this intersection, Luo Xi stopped and fell into a brief thought.

The reason is very simple. Although the "life gate" fork has been found, according to the rules of time, the time corresponding to this "life gate" fork is an "hour".

That is, exactly twelve o'clock.

If it is placed at night, it can also be regarded as midnight.

You should know that before this, all the "hourly" intersections corresponded to "dead ends", without exception.

Now, the first exception encountered was actually the 'life gate' that Luo Xi had previously identified as the 'exit'.

It is obvious that the mechanism that has been clearly explored is in conflict and opposition with the actual situation. After rethinking the previous reasoning process, no loopholes were found. In other words, this is the scene mechanism.

But the location that should be the door to life actually represents the 'whole point' space of death.

Luo Xi thought about it and knew what was going on.

This should be the last test in this scene.

Should I leave from this 'life gate' at this hour, or should I choose other time nodes and areas to be on the safe side and continue to detour?

What is certain is that this choice is extremely critical. If you make a wrong choice, you may be immediately attacked with certain death at the moment of scene change after the vibration.

If you choose to take a detour, two other possibilities will arise.

The "life gate" may only appear once in this scene, and it will never be encountered again next time; or, it may still be encountered, but the same situation will still require judgment, and time will be wasted.

Luo Xi didn't think about this matter for too long.

In fact, it only took a few seconds for Luo Xi to make a judgment.

He walked to the 'Life Gate' fork and went straight in.

Wait for the vibration.

A few minutes later, the vibration came as expected. Amid the loud rumbling sound, the sound of metal twisting was mixed with a sound that made people's scalp numb. When the vibration and the loud noise in the ears disappeared, Luo Xi found that he was back in the intensive care unit.

But this time, the scene was a little different.

Zhou Di was lying on the bed, wearing black clothes, and was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at himself.

In addition, there is an office desk next to the intensive care unit, which is piled with a mountain of manuscript papers. If nothing unexpected happens, the special telephone should be hidden under the pile of manuscript papers.

"As expected, you are worthy of me. You completed my original scene in such a short time."

Zhou Di actually sighed.

This was a thin-looking young man, and his black clothes made his pale skin stand out more clearly. He looked more like the vampire described in novels, appearing in horror scenes.

"To be honest, this scene is not difficult." Luo Xi's tone seemed a little disdainful as he observed Zhou Di.

The other party is very special.

This specialness is reflected in his identity as an administrator, that is, from the perspective of the "company", Zhou Di is very special because he is a living dead during the days of confinement, and even this ward does not actually exist.

It's some kind of spiritual realm.

Or they are still in the virtual scene that is being created.

"Half of the people around you are already dead. The reason why the rest are alive is because they are too mediocre. You should be able to see this. In fact, at this time, you should praise me instead of angering me."

Zhou Di said weakly, his voice low and as if he was out of breath.

After saying that, he reached out and scratched his scalp.
