Day of Imprisonment
#129 - The women's restroom where you can't get out once you enter
Ke Lan seemed very excited at this moment.
It was like a top student who, after consulting materials and thinking hard about a problem they couldn't solve, finally solved it with their own ability, experiencing that sense of accomplishment and excitement.
"Although Zhao Xiaojuan's appearance is no different from other faceless nurses, in terms of her clothes, dress, and even her tone of voice, there's a cartoon sticker on a pen placed on her desk, no, to be precise, next to her desk."
Ke Lan's memory is indeed extraordinary.
He might have seen it at the time, but he only glanced at it and didn't think much about it, or rather, he lacked a kind of keenness, an ability to immediately make a judgment once he discovered something unusual.
But Luo Xi has this ability.
"That's not right, if you only discover that Zhao Xiaojuan, this faceless nurse, is using a ballpoint pen with a sticker on it, while other nurses' pens don't have stickers, then you can only judge that the pens are different. How did Luo Xi judge from this that Zhao Xiaojuan could be communicated with?"
Ke Lan discovered that he seemed to have found an answer and a clue.
However, with his ability and knowledge reserves, he couldn't go any further with the analysis.
He would still be stuck in place, unable to move forward.
"Luo Xi must know the details of these employees, at least, know where they came from. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sure. What seems like an adventure is actually, for Luo Xi, a very high probability of a successful conversation."
After realizing this, Ke Lan understood the gap between him and Luo Xi.
To be honest, many things are understood only after the fact. When you know the result and trace back the cause, you feel a 'that's all there is to it' or 'it's that simple' illusion, thinking that if others can do it, you can do it too, and you'll be able to do it next time.
But this is definitely an illusion.
Next time, it won't work, it still won't work.
Inside the elevator.
Luo Xi and Wu Rui looked at the few people who walked in from the second floor and leaned back. At this time, the two of them leaned against the wall of the elevator car, and neither of them spoke.
Just then, Wu Rui suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Xi's hand.
Luo Xi turned his head and looked over, his eyes questioning.
Wu Rui then winked.
Luo Xi squeezed Wu Rui's delicate palm, signaling her not to make a sound and not to look around.
Wu Rui discovered a suspicious place, but if she could discover it, how could Luo Xi possibly ignore it?
The suspicious place was the few people who had just walked in from the second floor.
There shouldn't be any Memory Retrievers among these people.
Mainly because Memory Retrievers generally don't dare to take the elevator.
But Luo Xi believed that there might be some other discoveries and clues in the elevator, so he resolutely brought Wu Rui in.
There were clues, and quite a few, and besides, the people who came in from the second floor just now were all medical staff.
There were three people in total.
But among these three people, there was a beautiful nurse.
This was the strange thing.
The nurses in the First Hospital all have no facial features, their faces are like whiteboards, very strange and creepy, so when a person with facial features and who looks pretty good suddenly appears, it will immediately form a contrast.
The car was quiet, with only the sound of the elevator running.
Wu Rui wanted to talk to that 'Liu Yao' several times, but Luo Xi forcibly held her back.
Wu Rui was puzzled.
But Luo Xi couldn't explain it at this time, and besides, he didn't know how to explain it, because in his judgment, this nurse 'Liu Yao' with a face was definitely not a good person.
In addition to the control and judgment of details, there is also intuition.
Or rather, at this moment, intuition took the lead, and intuition told Luo Xi that this female nurse should not be provoked for the time being.
Finally, the fourth floor arrived.
Luo Xi pulled Wu Rui out of the elevator, he didn't even look back.
When the elevator doors closed again, Wu Rui whispered, "A nurse with a face might be a clue."
"Yes, but don't you think this clue is too obvious?" Luo Xi gave an answer.
Wu Rui thought carefully, with a look of fear.
Obvious clues are often accompanied by great dangers. It's okay if the danger is visible, but the most troublesome thing is when there seems to be no danger.
Because if you can't see the source of the danger, you can't defend in advance, you can't prepare in advance, and once you trigger a certain mechanism, the result may be an irresistible death.
Wu Rui looked at Luo Xi with a curious face. She leaned closer and looked carefully: "Luo Xi, sometimes you act rashly, but sometimes you are very careful and cautious. Can you tell me why this is?"
She really didn't understand.
And she was indeed very curious about this matter.
Luo Xi looked at the pretty face close at hand and said, "I have never been reckless. If you think I'm reckless, it can only be said that it's because I've seen something and have the confidence to control it."
"Is that so?" Although Wu Rui asked a question, she still believed what Luo Xi said.
Because so far, whether it was a cautious or seemingly reckless move, the results have been good, and indeed under the other party's control.
"We should be the first ones up here, let's go to the toilet entrance first." Luo Xi lowered his head and found that Wu Rui was still holding his hand.
The latter reacted and quickly let go.
There were not many people on the fourth floor. Occasionally, a faceless nurse would walk by, holding medical equipment or documents, in a hurry.
There are two toilets on each floor. The one on the south side has a problem. When Luo Xi and Wu Rui approached, there were already a few people whispering at the toilet entrance. First of all, they had facial features and were not medical staff here.
They are Memory Retrievers!
Even Wu Rui noticed the different styles of rings on their fingers.
These people also noticed Wu Rui and Luo Xi approaching.
One of them stepped forward.
"Are you here for the cards too?"
The man asked in a low voice.
Luo Xi nodded.
"Then you line up, we were here first."
"Okay!"
The rules of first come, first served still apply, and Luo Xi also wanted to see what would happen to these people after entering the women's restroom.
According to the information Liang Qiu provided, in the women's restroom on the fourth floor, men have a certain chance of encountering a 'ghost wall' after entering, meaning they can get in, but find they can't get out, and the environment inside will change. In addition, there will be a ghost attacking intruders.
To obtain that [Ghost Wall] card, you must find the love letter hidden inside while alive and give it to the female ghost. However, even then, success is not guaranteed, and there is still a nearly 50% chance of failure, resulting in death at the hands of the female ghost.
It can be said that even with a strategy, acquiring this [Ghost Wall] card is extremely dangerous. Even if everything goes smoothly, there is still a 50% chance of dying inside.
Clearly, these Memory Holders who came first also have a strategy for this place and know what to do.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
While waiting, Qian Fatty and Liang Qiu arrived. Less than a minute later, Ke Lan, Guo Zening, and Brother Mao also came.
The seven of them standing there exuded a terrifying aura.
Mainly because Liang Qiu was too imposing. With that physique and height, he would definitely be a general in ancient times.
The Memory Holders who had arrived earlier immediately felt immense pressure.
The person who had come to communicate earlier walked over again.
"Why don't you go first?"
They chickened out.
"No need, you go first. Anyway, in this scenario, what difference does it make who goes first?" Luo Xi said. Only then did that person walk back, glancing at Liang Qiu from time to time.
This man is too fierce.
Moreover, he looks a bit familiar.
Like that War God from the Awakened Association.
Thus, it was observed that two groups of people stood in front of the restroom door, one after the other, waiting in line to enter.
The reason they couldn't enter together was that the 'Ghost Wall' plot wouldn't be triggered unless a single person entered the women's restroom.
But interestingly, a single person didn't need to wait for the previous one to come out. They only needed to enter one minute apart, which undoubtedly greatly increased efficiency. Of course, all of this was experience gleaned by predecessors.
So, every minute, someone would go in.
"Because there is a 50% mortality rate, it's generally better to have more people come to this place to increase the chances of obtaining the card," Liang Qiu said. "But I won't be going in later because I won't trigger the plot if I go in."
Everyone looked at him.
This was quite strange. Liang Qiu was clearly not lying. He said he had been here twice before, and each time he tried to enter the women's restroom, but while others could trigger the plot, he couldn't.
As for the reason, he himself was not clear.
The group in front went in one after another. As a result, out of the five people, only one came out.
The only person who came out had an extremely unsightly expression, as if he had been subjected to some kind of intense stimulation. After he came out, he couldn't see their people, but he didn't dare to stay here, so he covered the card ring on his finger and left cautiously.
"This person, I haven't seen him before," Wu Rui said.
She and Luo Xi were the first to arrive, and when she came, this person should have already gone in, probably staying inside for at least a dozen minutes.
What he experienced, perhaps only he himself knows.
"How about I catch up and ask?" Qian Fatty was a little eager to try.
What he meant by 'ask' was definitely not just the literal meaning.
"According to Liang Qiu, everyone encounters different situations, so it's not very meaningful," Luo Xi said, then took the lead and walked over: "Liang Qiu has been in, but hasn't triggered the plot. Ke Lan hasn't been in either, so for the first time, let's all go in together and see what the situation is inside."
No one objected to this suggestion.
Although the scene after triggering the plot might be different from a normal women's restroom, it wouldn't hurt to learn more and prepare more.
So, seven people entered the women's restroom together.
Unsurprisingly, the lights inside were bright, clean, and tidy, with no problems visible.
The washbasin and large mirror were wiped very clean. Inside were toilet stalls, a total of three rows. There was no one there at the moment. Although it was quiet, it was definitely not eerie.
It was just what a normal restroom should look like.
Luo Xi looked around, then led everyone out.
"Why don't I go in first? If I can come out alive, I'll tell you about the situation inside," Wu Rui was the first to stand up and say.
"Okay!" Luo Xi didn't stop her. However, Ke Lan and Qian Fatty said that they should go first, otherwise, it would be a shame to let a girl take the risk first.
"It's okay, let Wu Rui go."
After Luo Xi finished speaking, the matter was settled.
Wu Rui nodded, took a deep breath, and was about to enter the women's restroom alone.
"Wait a moment!" Luo Xi called out to Wu Rui at this time, walked over, and whispered something in her ear. Wu Rui's expression turned strange, she glanced at Luo Xi, and nodded: "Okay, I've memorized it."
"Go ahead, be careful. If it doesn't work, fight the female ghost," Luo Xi said, watching Wu Rui walk in.
"I'll go in second," Ke Lan stepped forward at this time.
Luo Xi shook his head: "Wait for Wu Rui to come out."
"Wait for her to come out?" Ke Lan was stunned. Not to mention whether Wu Rui could come out alive, even if she could, she would have to stay inside for at least a dozen minutes. Waiting like this would be a waste of time.
"Don't worry, if everything goes smoothly, it won't take that long," Luo Xi looked at the time on his watch.
He bought a watch on the way today, a brand name, very expensive.
Of course, for Luo Xi, he was just curious about what was special about brand-name watches, but his main purpose was to check the time.
In less than two minutes, footsteps came from the women's restroom. Everyone quickly looked and found Wu Rui walking out.
In her hand, she was holding a card!
