Day of Imprisonment

"It really came out?" Ke Lan was shocked.

Although he knew that Luo Xi was powerful, he didn't expect that he could actually calculate that Wu Rui would come out in a short time, and it seemed that Wu Rui successfully obtained the card in this terrifying plot.

Several people gathered around.

Upon closer inspection, it really was [Ghost Walls].

[Ghost Walls], one of the ghost path spells, can be activated in a small space to create a ghost realm space that lasts for ten minutes, confusing others' senses and preventing them from leaving. Activation requires two [Grievances] - Please note that if you have other ghost cards, you can activate them together. In this way, your enemies will not only be trapped inside, but it is also a double-edged sword. You trap others, and you will definitely trap yourself.

Without a doubt, this is a very useful card.

It can be used in many scenarios, to delay enemies, or even attack enemies.

Of course, the upper and lower limits of this kind of functional card are very high, and the extent to which it can be achieved depends entirely on the user's strategy.

However, compared to the card, everyone is more concerned and curious about how Wu Rui managed to pass this terrifying plot and obtain the card in just over a minute.

Wu Rui herself was actually a little confused.

She just followed what Luo Xi said. After entering, she found that the ghost wall scene happened. Immediately afterwards, terrifying things happened. There were figures of female ghosts walking in the mirror, and pale palms stretched out on the toilet partitions.

And she just called a name and said something.

The female ghost stopped attacking, leaving behind the card and a line of words written on the mirror.

"I just called a name 'Yuan Meili' when the fierce ghost appeared, and then said that I would tell your father about your situation. That's it, that ghost left the card and let me out."

This is too simple.

So simple that it's a little unreal.

But the question is, who is 'Yuan Meili'?

The name of the female ghost?

Then how did Wu Rui know what the female ghost's name was?

You should know that even Liang Qiu, who knew the strategy of the terrifying plot in the women's toilet, didn't know.

However, everyone knew that Wu Rui couldn't answer this question, so they had to ask Luo Xi.

Just now, Luo Xi kept chattering in Wu Rui's ear, so he must have told Wu Rui.

Everyone's eyes locked on Luo Xi.

The latter said: "I also heard it from a ghost. I just felt that there were many coincidences and guessed that they could be connected, so I asked Wu Rui to try it. In fact, it was also very risky. If I judged wrongly, Wu Rui would definitely die."

Suicide in the women's toilet.

This is indeed easy to associate with.

But the question is, who would have thought that Luo Xi just did something that normal people wouldn't dare to do, and actually got so much information.

For example, the patient complaint rules posted on the wall in front of the wall-facing ghosts, and for example, he was actually in the mood to listen, and even understood what a ghost was muttering in a low voice.

This is not a question of courage, it is a question of brains, because none of these things can be thought of by normal people.

Avoiding harm and seeking advantage is human nature.

Knowing that there are ghosts, but still running over to face the wall together, only a madman can do this kind of outrageous thing.

But soon, Ke Lan realized something.

"Wait a minute, so to speak, the different small scenes in the entire First Hospital, including some terrifying plots, are not actually independent. Are they also connected to each other? Yes, it must be like this. The entire First Hospital is a scene, a whole, but all the Memory Retrievers who come here dare not hope to clear this place. They only regard this place as a place to obtain cards, so they only pay attention to the strategies of individual terrifying plots, but ignore the connections between them, and the connections with the First Hospital scene."

Ke Lan's mind turned quickly and he thought a lot. The expression on his face was already quite wonderful.

It was as if he had the four words 'So that's how it is' written on his forehead.

"Let's not talk about anything else, can other people go in and say what the little girl said just now and safely obtain the card?" Liang Qiu asked.

Mao Ge, Guo Zening, and Qian Pangzi were all eager to try.

If this is the case, then the [Ghost Walls] card is simply within reach.

"It won't work anymore," Luo Xi shook his head.

Everyone was shocked and puzzled.

"Just follow what you taught Wu Rui just now. We'll go in and have a good chat with that female ghost. Is it not possible?" Qian Pangzi was a little anxious. If he couldn't go for such a good opportunity, he felt like he had missed a billion.

"The female ghost is not a fool either, and the toilet is just a plot point, but it is not another scene that can be nested in a single loop day scene. That is to say, within the same loop day, she will remember what you say to the female ghost. Wu Rui has already said it just now. If you go in again and say the same thing, guess whether that female ghost will skin you alive?" Luo Xi looked at Qian Pangzi and raised the corner of his mouth.

Qian Pangzi thought about it and it was true.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.

"Does anyone know what is written on the love letter in the toilet horror plot?" Luo Xi asked.

Only Liang Qiu could answer this question.

However, the latter scratched his head: "I seem to have heard others say it, but I don't remember."

Luo Xi didn't spend too much thought on this matter.

"After entering, don't look for the love letter. If I guessed correctly, only the first person to enter and find the love letter on a single loop day can succeed. The others are just being abused and killed by the female ghost to vent her anger. Occasionally, she will release one or two people. The purpose of doing this is to attract more people to go in and let her kill you on a single loop day. You are too immersed in the play. Don't forget that this is ultimately a checkpoint scene under the Day of Imprisonment."

Luo Xi sighed: "As long as it is a checkpoint scene, it must be artificially designed. There are managers and there may be employees. They also talk about revenue and performance. Of course, not all employees understand the situation. They themselves may not even know that this is a scene. They may think that this is real. But whether it is acting or a self-forgetful person who is too immersed in the play, don't use the so-called strategy to limit it. Otherwise, if the seven of us go in, it would be lucky if one of us can come out alive."

Some people understood these words, and some people didn't.

But whether they understood or not, they were all waiting for Luo Xi's next instructions.

This was surprisingly consistent.

"Next, I'll go. Wait for me to come out and listen to my arrangements," Luo Xi also needed to actually go in to confirm some things.

Immediately, he stepped into the women's toilet.

It's strange to say that everything was normal when he went in, but suddenly the lights flickered twice, and the surrounding environment changed.

The original clean environment suddenly became dirty and unbearable. The entrance he came in from behind also turned into a locked wooden door with rusty iron bars on it. It can be said that normal people can't rush out by brute force.

But if it was Liang Qiu, maybe...

"So, Liang Qiu didn't trigger the fear plot when he came in, or his strength exceeded the limits here, so he is not allowed to participate? In this case, it is actually possible to solve the problem with force," Luo Xi muttered in his heart.

The situation here is roughly the same as what Wu Rui described just now. The feeling presented by the entire set is to make people feel fear and discomfort.

The lights are still flickering from time to time.

Moreover, the lampshade seems to be covered with a layer of dirt, which leads to extremely poor lighting, and the toilet is also very dim.

"Here it comes!"

Luo Xi vaguely saw a figure flashing in the mirror over there.

Soon, it almost flashed by.

Under normal circumstances, people who enter here have already been affected by the environment and have a fear psychology. If they don't know the strategy, they may try to get out. If they know the strategy or are careful, they will definitely seize the time to investigate the scene and look for useful clues and props that may help to pass this fear plot.

Luo Xi didn't do these two things. He didn't go to investigate the compartment, but went to the washstand.

He turned on the faucet, and thick, dirty blood flowed out.

Looking up, the mirror was also covered in grime, but at least I could clearly see my own face.

At this moment, Luo Xi began to speak.

"Everyone, come out! I have something to discuss with you!"

His voice echoed in the women's restroom.

The mirror vibrated slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Wooo...wooo...

A woman was crying.

At the same time, from the mirror, I could see a pale hand extending from the top of the adjacent stall, its sharp fingernails scratching at the composite board.

But at the same time, hair seemed to be visible from the bottom.

The space was at least two meters high; it was impossible for a person to have a hand at the top and their head at the bottom.

Without a doubt, it was another scene that could trigger terrifying thoughts.

Luo Xi glanced at it and didn't bother to look any further.

"Old Three, come out!"

Luo Xi said again.

Suddenly, a female ghost crawled out from the top of the adjacent stall.

This female ghost had deformed limbs and a bizarre face. Her jaw was stretched extremely long, and her eyes, like black holes, radiated malice that could drive a person to complete insanity.

She began to approach Luo Xi.

The lights flickered even more violently.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

It made one wonder if they would suddenly go out the next second.

And the next second, the lights really did go out.

The restroom was instantly plunged into darkness.

Immediately following, strange sounds arose: bizarre weeping, sneering, and scraping noises that were impossible to identify all rang out almost simultaneously, followed by a 'smash' – the sound of glass breaking.

Swish!

Light appeared, but not from the restroom lights, but from the light on Luo Xi's phone.

It was very glaring, especially when shining on the mirror.

And at this moment, the restroom had become extremely eerie and unbelievable; everything around seemed to be corroded by countless blood threads, as if someone had splattered dozens of basins of extremely viscous blood-red paint here.

The female ghost was less than half a meter behind Luo Xi, but at this moment, the terrifying her was having her throat choked by an even more terrifying person, and she was struggling desperately.

Looking at Luo Xi, he held a phone in one hand, and in the other, he had already grabbed three cards.

These three cards were one [Exorcism] and two [Mana].

Luo Xi looked at 'Hungry Ghost' Old Three, who was choking the ghost's neck in the mirror, and muttered, "Why are you so slow? I almost activated this card."

Obviously, the three cards in Luo Xi's hand were his backup plan.

If the situation became so dangerous that he was about to die the next second, Luo Xi would not hesitate to activate this card.

But looking at it now, this [Exorcism] card has been saved.

As a functional card similar to the [Sword of Restriction], it's best not to use it unless necessary. This thing is like money; it must be used where it counts.

The 'Old Three' that Luo Xi mentioned was the 'Hungry Ghost Luo Xi' who had appeared once before in Old Wang's management office.

This was one of the very few powerful personalities who had a relatively good relationship with Luo Xi and could obey his commands.

Luo Xi was still holding the cards. He was always cautious, especially at critical moments, and would never allow failure due to a slight mistake.

In his opinion, that kind of thing could be called 'stupid'.

"Old Three, you really can subdue fierce ghosts," Luo Xi praised to the mirror.

"Only those ghosts whose resentment has seeped into the mirror. If not, I can't do anything," Hungry Ghost Luo Xi tilted his head. His withered arms seemed fragile, yet seemed to possess immense power that the female ghost could not shake.

No matter how she struggled, it was useless.

Crack!

The cracks on the mirror were increasing.

It might shatter completely soon.

"What the hell do you want to say? Say it quickly! If the mirror breaks, I'm screwed!" Hungry Ghost Luo Xi cursed at this time.

And Luo Xi nodded. He turned his head and looked at the female ghost behind him.

Outside the mirror, there was no 'Old Three'; there was only him and the female ghost. And the female ghost, at this moment, seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force, unable to move. Her terrifying face was filled with slow hatred, as if she would devour Luo Xi alive once she recovered.

"Yuan Meili, I'm here to help you," Luo Xi said, and then he looked around, bent down, and felt under the sink. Soon, he pulled out an old envelope from below. Inside was a letter.

The key prop, a love letter!

"I'm guessing you change the location of the hidden love letter every time, so the idea that finding the love letter will get you a card and allow you to leave safely is just something you deliberately make others believe. This way, you can continue hunting, and all you need to do is calculate the expenditures and income to ensure you're making a profit. That way, you'll definitely pass the employee assessment, right?"

Luo Xi didn't mind the female ghost's terrifying appearance at all.

With [Absolute Rationality], Luo Xi's sanity value was like having a lock-on cheat; it wouldn't decrease even a little bit.

It could be regarded as a constant value.

So, whether someone looked good or bad, terrifying or normal, made no difference to Luo Xi.

The female ghost stopped struggling, and her ferocious and terrifying features began to change, eventually turning into a normal-looking woman. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she was still somewhat attractive, at least much better-looking than her previous fierce ghost appearance.

At this moment, she looked at Luo Xi and asked, "You... who exactly are you?"

"I suggest you follow the plot. It's for your own good," Luo Xi kindly reminded her.

The female ghost reacted and returned to her ferocious appearance, but the words she spoke sounded like begging for mercy.

"I'll give you a card. Please leave, okay?"

"I told you, I'm here to help you, Yuan Meili," Luo Xi still looked serious, and then turned to 'Old Three' in the mirror and said, "Alright, Old Three, you go back first. We'll chat in detail when we have time."

"Do you really believe that crap? I was hoping she would eat you. Damn it," Hungry Ghost Old Three cursed, then retreated and disappeared. In the mirror, only the female ghost remained.

Then the female ghost discovered, 'Damn it, why doesn't this guy have a shadow?'

"Let's continue!" Luo Xi looked at the female ghost again, and then warned, "Don't mess around, I have [Exorcism] in my hand. If you mess around, I'll exorcise you."

"You're the one who shouldn't mess around, damn it!" The female ghost's features became even more ferocious.

But she was now very clear that the person standing in front of her was a 'big shot'. The other party seemed to know the employees' secrets, and even knew some of the 'company's' rules, knowing rules that someone of her identity shouldn't know.

These things alone made the female ghost Yuan Meili feel somewhat terrified.

She had been working here for a long time.

At least several hundred cycle days.

But this was the first time she had felt 'terror'.

"Yuan Meili, you died unjustly. You resent that scumbag who abandoned you. I plan to help you get revenge. As long as you let me out and give me a [Ghost Wall]... Wait a minute, do you only have [Ghost Wall] here? Do you have any other cards?"

Luo Xi spoke the last sentence in a lowered voice.

"..." The female ghost had no idea what reaction she should make now. Should she continue acting according to her role, or should she quickly send this person who made her feel fear away and put him on the blacklist, never letting him trigger the 'plot' here again?

Just like that strong man who had come before, who had clearly exceeded the upper limit of this horror plot, so she refused to accept him.

"Understood. Some things are inconvenient for you to say. No rules, no order. I understand... You can't say the scumbag's name because there's a puzzle-solving element here. So, that counts as a hidden quest line. Then I'll go find him and bring him here, right? If so, nod your head. You're not saying anything and not nodding. That's not in accordance with the rules. Do you believe I'll complain about you?"

Luo Xi began to bluff.

The female ghost could only nod.

"Alright, I'll take the love letter. Do you have any other requests?" Luo Xi carefully put away the love letter, looking at her with anticipation.

The female ghost immediately took out a card and handed it over, then personally walked over and opened the restroom door.

The meaning was, 'Leave quickly, goodbye!'

"Wait for me!" Luo Xi took the card and walked out.

Behind him was the sound of the door being slammed shut with great force.

Turning back, Luo Xi found that he had already come out of the women's restroom, and the women's restroom behind him had changed, returning to its previous normal appearance.

Seeing Luo Xi come out, the people waiting outside all gathered around.
