Day of Imprisonment

“I almost died, just a little bit more.” Luo Xi said.

“A little bit more isn't dead, and it doesn't matter how little.” Ke Lan was clearly a stickler for rules. Suddenly, he frowned and looked at Luo Xi: “Wait a minute, although we haven't known each other for long, I can tell that you are even more stubborn and meticulous than I am. Since you know that the condition for obtaining the bronze mirror is that someone must die, but you didn't die, then how can you act like you don't care, and how can you be sure that you can turn the bronze mirror into a card? That's not right, that's not right, you must already know the reason, that's why you were so confident to go and collect it!”

Obviously, Ke Lan is a smart person.

No wonder this guy can survive on his own, no wonder he dares to buy a season pass for Dou Dou's Game Room.

He definitely has strength.

He was indeed hiding his abilities before.

His abilities in all aspects are stronger than what he actually shows.

Luo Xi still shook his head: “I really don't know, I just simply think that 'once a trap is triggered, it no longer has the ability to be triggered again'. The ghost in the mirror has already made a move, but it was interrupted for some reason, or rather, it failed. It can be understood as a crossbow that has already fired its arrow. Then, the deterrent power of this crossbow no longer exists. As for whether the arrow hit someone or not, it will not affect the result that the crossbow has become ineffective.”

“…” Ke Lan obviously didn't believe this explanation, but he could also tell that he wouldn't get anything out of asking again.

To some extent, he knew that Luo Xi was very similar to him.

Whether it was in dealing with problems or responding to crises, it's just that Luo Xi was even more 'paranoid' and 'extreme' than him in some aspects, and also more cunning.

This kind of person is either a complete madman or a supremely intelligent genius.

Of course, it is possible to have both qualities at the same time.

Also, Ke Lan just heard the female ghost in the mirror say, 'Who are you?'

So, who exactly is the 'you' that the female ghost was talking about?

He wanted to ask.

But in the end, he held back.

Because asking would be useless. If the other party didn't know, they definitely wouldn't be able to give an answer; conversely, if they knew but didn't want to say, the result would still be that he wouldn't be able to find out anything.

“This guy is unusual, very difficult to deal with, he's simply an old fox!” Ke Lan thought to himself.

Before this, he already had an evaluation of Luo Xi in his mind, but now, some more labels have been added to this evaluation, some good and some bad.

As for Luo Xi's act of collecting this 'bronze mirror' card, everyone, including Ke Lan, had no objections.

After all, it wasn't them who were almost strangled to death just now.

At this time, Luo Xi glanced at the scholar who was covered in blood, looking pained, and already somewhat listless.

Wu Rui's two slashes just now were not merciful.

He had to quickly hand the scholar over to the 'young mistress', otherwise it would be troublesome if he died.

“Let's go, to the mourning hall!”

Luo Xi immediately made a decision. Although there were still some places in the entire level scene that had not been explored, and some clues might be missed, and these clues might even be very important, there was not enough time now.

He didn't tell anyone about this description.

There was a sentence about the young mistress on it.

“She is, after all, a woman, and the life she yearns for is to be a good wife and mother, with her family living happily together.”

‘Good wife and mother’, ‘family together’, were actually the greatest wishes of that female ghost.

So the 'scholar' guy couldn't die, at least, the one who decided his life or death could only be that young mistress.

On the way, Ke Lan couldn't help but say: “This time, handing over the person is extremely dangerous, but in fact, I still discovered an important thing.”

“Are you saying, who to choose to hand over the person?” Luo Xi seemed to see what the other party was going to say, which surprised Ke Lan and also made him feel a little打击.

In the past, he considered himself to be stronger than others in all aspects.

Essentially, Ke Lan is a very conceited and arrogant person. He is taciturn, not only because of his personality, but also because he thinks that talking or cooperating with some 'idiots' in his eyes is a pure waste of time.

It's better to be efficient on his own.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't have friends. Obviously, the people who can get into Ke Lan's eyes must be the same as him, the kind who can talk to him.

Luo Xi completely meets his requirements.

And in all aspects, he completely crushes him.

This made Ke Lan frustrated, but also gave him a strong impulse to compete.

Several people first gave the scholar's wound a simple bandage, and then rushed to the location of the mourning hall.

Because the distance was not far, it only took a few minutes to reach the outside of the original mourning hall.

At this moment, this mourning hall looked even more terrifying, because there were actually candles inside.

In front of the door, there were white lanterns hanging.

The white window paper reflected the shadow of a woman.

This shadow had no head.

She was carrying a big belly.

The next moment, a woman's voice came faintly.

“Affection misplaced, hatred hard to rest, tears shed in lovesickness, night even more desolate. Remembering the past under the moon and flowers in vain, heartbroken and resigned, vowing to become enemies.”

As she spoke, the woman cried.

Miserable and desolate, sad and mournful, just from that voice, there was a kind of resentment.

“Wu Rui, you go!”

Luo Xi said at this time.

At this time, everyone except Ke Lan was stunned.

You want a girl to do this kind of dangerous thing? Isn't that a bit too much?

Wu Rui was also a little surprised.

But she still nodded and did not refuse.

“Being deceived by men, the young mistress must hate men to the core, so if we go in, she might kill people because of her hatred. Wu Rui, you are a woman, you have to speak from her perspective. This young mistress shouldn't kill you. Also, when you go in later, just say this…”

Luo Xi leaned over at this time and whispered in Wu Rui's ear.

The others couldn't hear it and were very curious.

“Do you have something similar to…”

“Yes, I have it…”

“Very good. Then, do you know what to do?” Luo Xi smiled.

Wu Rui nodded: “I understand!”

At this moment, there was actually a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“Based on the clues currently available, I have tried my best to deduce multiple possibilities. To be honest, you still might die inside, and the possibility is not small. If that's the case, I can only see you on the next cycle day.” Luo Xi also said the worst possibility.

“I understand.” Wu Rui took a deep breath. She was not afraid of death.

After all, it wasn't the first time she had died.

But actively walking into the room of a resentful ghost was still a challenge that she needed to overcome.

As for the scholar, after being slashed twice, he was already listless at this time. Hearing the voice inside, his face was full of fear.

“Let's go, your wife is waiting for you inside!” Wu Rui grabbed the scholar and walked over.

At this time, the young mistress's tone rose again: “The tenderness of the past has gone like water, today's hatred burns like fire. May you have more tribulations in this life, so that you know that affection was misplaced. Time is ruthless, urging people to grow old, beauty fades easily, dreams are hard to find. I only hope to meet again in the next life, to not fail the good times, to not fail the heart.”

The scholar was almost paralyzed. Wu Rui gritted her teeth, pushed open the door, and forcibly dragged him in.

After Wu Rui went in, the door closed on its own.

The people outside were nervously staring, waiting for the judgment of 'fate'.

The next moment, the candlelight in the house suddenly went out.

It was quiet inside, without a single sound.

Mao Ge and Guo Zening were both extremely nervous.

“Could something have happened?”

“Shh, watch, don't make a sound.”

At present, the final result is still unknown. All they can do is wait patiently.

It's just that this kind of waiting can definitely be called an ordeal, the kind where every second feels like a year.

Luo Xi stood still, looking at the silent mourning hall without any expression.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Everyone's mood was also gradually sinking.

About a dozen minutes later, even Ke Lan's face showed anxiety and confusion.

“Could it be that it failed?”

Luo Xi still didn't react. At this time, he was like a statue. If he wasn't still opening his eyes, others might have thought he was asleep.

Just at this moment, the tightly closed door of the mourning hall creaked open.

Everyone's hearts immediately jumped, and they nervously looked over.

They saw the door only open a crack, and then Wu Rui showed her head, looked outside, and waved to Luo Xi.

The meaning was to let him go over.

“Damn, brother, I think you'd better not go over. This girl might be possessed by a fierce ghost. If you go in, I'm afraid it will be ominous.” Hou Cheng couldn't help but whisper, and at the same time, he stretched one foot behind him.

Ready to run away at any time.

This scene was really too scary.

Isn't there anything you can't say directly? Just waving is too easy to make people think too much.

At this time, Luo Xi naturally needed to make a judgment, to go or to run.

He didn't think much and walked over directly.

Mao Ge and Guo Zening were about to follow immediately, but Luo Xi waved his hand and told them to go back.

So, everyone watched Luo Xi walk to the door and then squeeze in through the open crack.

The door closed again.

It was still silent.

“This brother is so smart, how could he be so rash? Anyone with eyes can see that there is a problem in the house.” Hou Cheng couldn't help but say: “Or, let's run away.”

No one paid attention to him.

Liu Mao and Guo Zening go without saying, they were originally on the same team as Luo Xi. No matter what choice Luo Xi made, they would not interfere, let alone run away before there was a result.

Ke Lan wouldn't either.

In fact, he knew very well that the woman just now was not controlled at all.

When she waved, her thumb was tucked in, which was obviously a special gesture.

It was 'sign language'.

The kind that was pre-agreed and set up.

The newest novels are first released on 69shu吧!

That must have been part of what Luo Xi whispered to the other party just now.

"What exactly is he trying to do?" Ke Lan was very anxious. He was extremely curious now, but he didn't have the courage to barge in.

Inside the mourning hall, it was extremely dim.

But with the moonlight shining through the doors and windows, it wasn't completely dark.

One could vaguely see a woman standing in front, with four heads neatly placed on a table to the side.

Arranged like a fruit platter.

It was the Madam, the Madam's maid, the monk, and Zhang Lin.

These four people were the first to be killed by the female ghost in the mourning hall.

And the female ghost was holding a head in her hands.

It was her own.

The flesh and blood at the neck of the body were blurred. This scene was indeed very terrifying, enough to drive people crazy with extreme fear.

This one was naturally the Eldest Miss.

On the other side, there was a person kneeling at this moment.

The scholar.

At this moment, the scholar was so frightened that he was paralyzed, somewhat delirious, muttering something in his mouth, but his voice was very low, probably begging for mercy and forgiveness.

Seeing that the scholar was not dead yet, Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected!"

Old Cao said that if you want to escape from here, you must make the Eldest Miss 'satisfied'. One way is to sacrifice the lives of other teammates besides yourself, but in Luo Xi's opinion, this method is not particularly reliable, because the criteria for 'satisfaction' is too subjective.

Killing one person might satisfy her, killing a hundred might not.

It all depends on her mood.

Therefore, the key is the word 'satisfied'.

The premise of satisfying a woman, no, a female ghost, is to first make her happy.

First of all, this question is easy to understand, but when incorporated into the current level scene, it immediately becomes very magical.

After exploring this level scene, normal people will gradually discover the truth of the Eldest Miss's death and know the root of her pain. Naturally, to satisfy her will involuntarily point to the concept of 'helping her take revenge'.

This is definitely a correct answer.

But what Luo Xi considered was that the question was not initially 'help the Eldest Miss take revenge', but 'make her satisfied'.

In that case, the previous understanding of revenge was completely a preconceived idea, a presumption.

In this way, in addition to sending the unfaithful scholar back to the Eldest Miss for disposal, some 'extra' attempts can also be made.

For example, Luo Xi asked Wu Rui to inadvertently 'compliment' the Eldest Miss in her words, praising her for being beautiful, talented, and praising the poems and lyrics she had just made, which could be called eternal masterpieces, and to use empathy to win the female ghost's favor.

Then say something similar to how men are all big trotters and always make mistakes. When it's time to forgive, you still have to be tolerant, after all, 'harmony brings wealth'.

There is essentially a problem with this statement, but it depends on who you are talking to.

The memory retained in the bronze mirror, as well as the hints in the written descriptions, showed that the Eldest Miss was still a little woman who longed for happiness and hoped to live a life of husband and child.

Even if she becomes a ghost, as long as she still has past memories, she may be able to awaken her 'rationality'.

And because the female ghost did not kill the scholar in the first place, it shows that although her resentment is great, she does retain a trace of 'rationality' as a human being.

To put it more bluntly, this is a fierce ghost who can control her own behavior.

Just like Old Cao.

Old Cao said that the Eldest Miss is more powerful than him, so even Old Cao can maintain 'rationality', it is not impossible for the Eldest Miss to maintain rationality.

Luo Xi taught Wu Rui to tell the Eldest Miss a fictional story in the style of 'A song of broken liver and intestines, where in the world can you find a soulmate; Two lines of sad tears, how can you forget the person at the end of the world', and also package Wu Rui herself as a poor person who was cheated of money and sex by a 'scumbag'.

This is 'empathy', this is 'sympathy'.

In addition to these, you can also win the female ghost's favor by giving gifts.

Wu Rui had a lipstick on her, and Luo Xi asked her to give it to the Eldest Miss as soon as possible.

Although the operation of giving gifts to fierce ghosts sounds a bit unbelievable, even a crazy idea that is not reliable, but in Luo Xi's opinion, as long as it is a method that can be tried, even if it is unbelievable, it is worth a try.

And the result was that Wu Rui didn't die.

This at least shows that Luo Xi's tentative move has initially taken effect.

As for why she called herself in, Luo Xi had said this to Wu Rui before.

"The Eldest Miss's resentment is soaring to the sky because she died suddenly and violently, and because someone has let her down. Therefore, to resolve her resentment, we can only start from these two aspects. Someone has let her down, so bring the other party here and say that the scholar has reformed and is begging for forgiveness, even willing to give up his life and stay with the Eldest Miss forever. As for the matter of death, of course, it is irreversible, but you can give her hope. She is pregnant, so you tell her that I am a doctor and can help her deliver the baby."

"If the plan really progresses to this point, you call me in, but in order to avoid being possessed or controlled by the ghost, remember, don't call me out loud, just wave your hand, but hide your thumb in your palm. In this way, I will know that our plan has succeeded."

At this point, everything Luo Xi asked Wu Rui to do has been completed.

She completed it very well.

Even beyond Luo Xi's expectations.

At this moment, in the weird room, the Eldest Miss walked over with a huge sense of oppression.

"Doctor, this little woman is being polite." The female ghost actually held her own head and bowed to Luo Xi.

In the weird mourning hall, a headless, big-bellied female ghost saluting, ordinary people really can't bear it.

But Luo Xi faced it calmly.

"No need to be polite."

"I heard that the doctor is good at gynecology and knows the way to deliver babies?"

"Yes, I am proficient in this, a family heirloom of craftsmanship..." Nonsense, Luo Xi is professional, his voice does not tremble, and he speaks as if it were true.

The female ghost touched her bulging belly with one hand, and with the other hand, the eyes on the head she was holding stared straight at Luo Xi: "Can you please help me deliver my child into the world, so that our family of three can be reunited?"

"It's my duty!"

At this moment, Wu Rui, who was standing next to her, felt absurd when she heard the tiger and wolf conversation between one person and one ghost, and then her scalp went numb.

Luo Xi, is he really going to deliver this female ghost?

Can this work?

The baby in the female ghost's belly should have died long ago. Even if it is taken out at that time, it will be a stillbirth, and the female ghost will inevitably be furious.

"Oh my god, I don't care anymore, let him do whatever he wants." Wu Rui closed her eyes and watched Luo Xi's performance next.

Wu Rui felt that her sanity was on the verge of collapse at any time.

Anyway, if it were her, she would definitely be scared to death.

But Luo Xi behaved calmly and calmly. The other party actually carefully checked the female ghost's bulging belly, not only touching it with his hands, but also putting his ear close to listen carefully.

How much courage does it take to maintain a poker face when doing this kind of thing?

The Oscars should give Luo Xi an award.

This acting is amazing!

Wu Rui was at least three meters away, just watching, but even so, she had to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead from time to time. Her neck and back were already soaked.

"Lie down." Luo Xi smiled and said, "In your situation, you have to have surgery. Wu Rui, give me the knife."

Oh my god!

Wu Rui felt like she was about to explode. She didn't even know how she walked over and handed the dagger in her hand to Luo Xi.

And at this moment, Wu Rui saw that in addition to holding the knife in his hand, Luo Xi was also holding something else.

It was the scripture of the 'Rebirth Mantra'.

"He wouldn't be..." Wu Rui thought of a possibility, and her first reaction was that Luo Xi was crazy.

But Wu Rui didn't dare to say anything more at this time. Still, Luo Xi can do whatever he wants, and she will accept it.

At this moment, the female ghost was standing there straight. Luo Xi squatted down and directly used the knife to make a horizontal cut on the female ghost's belly downward, opened the belly, and reached in to touch it.

Wu Rui could see clearly that when he reached in, Luo Xi was holding the 'Rebirth Mantra' in his hand. When he struggled to pull out a fetus, the Rebirth Mantra was gone.

No need to ask, it was left inside.

"Giving birth will hurt, and you will feel uncomfortable. Anyway, any discomfort is normal. You have to bear with it." Luo Xi used the knife to cut the umbilical cord, tied a knot, and then took off his coat and wrapped the fetus in his hand.

The fetus was covered in cyanosis and lifeless, more like a pile of human-shaped rotten flesh.

"Congratulations, it's a big fat boy!" Luo Xi handed the stillborn baby to the female ghost: "The family is reunited, how lucky, congratulations, congratulations!"

"My son, my son..." The female ghost took the stillborn baby, but was extremely excited, with an unprecedented tenderness in her tone.

"Hush, the little prince is asleep, don't wake him up!" Luo Xi instructed, and the female ghost really lowered her voice. She put her own head aside and carefully held the stillborn baby in both hands, as if holding a peerless treasure.

"Thank you, doctor. If it weren't for your help, our family would not be able to reunite!" From the head next to her, the female ghost's voice was much softer. At this moment, if you listened with your eyes closed, you would really think it was a gentle and virtuous woman thanking her softly.

"Helping others is the source of happiness, it's not worth mentioning. I have other important things to do, so I'll leave now!"

"The doctor can leave through the Red Gate. It's inconvenient for me to see you off here. I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, no need to see me off, no need to see me off!"

After Luo Xi finished speaking, he pulled Wu Rui and walked out.
