Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi guessed that this was a 'plot game' existing in the Second Ward.

Because he had encountered similar situations before, it was easy to judge.

Luo Xi said he wanted to see it, so Li Quansheng said he would let him see it.

So, he pushed the solitary corpse in the room into the opened morgue cabinet.

"See clearly, it's pushed in, close the door, latch the bolt..." Li Quansheng said while demonstrating.

Then he pulled Luo Xi out of the door, and then immediately opened the door.

"Look!"

Sure enough, the corpse that had been pushed into the morgue cabinet a second ago actually reappeared on the wheeled bed in the room that had been empty.

It was indeed strange.

If someone who didn't know the situation suddenly encountered this, they would definitely be startled, or even think about it in horror, and then imagine all kinds of terrifying scenes, scaring themselves.

Luo Xi didn't have those messy thoughts, he went in and observed carefully, then turned to Li Quansheng and said, "It's quite amazing."

"Amazing? It should be weird, so in this morgue, the cabinet in the lower right corner simply can't be used, so we can only do this."

"Then if you put the corpse in, you leave, and I stay here, what will happen? Will I be able to see how the corpse is taken out?" Luo Xi proposed a hypothesis at this time.

As a result, Li Quansheng immediately shook his head when he heard it.

"Brother Luo, don't joke, people will die."

"Die? How do you mean?" Luo Xi appeared very curious.

"Before, I heard other security guards also used the method you said, two people, one stayed in the morgue, one went out, then closed the door, and then came in, but do you know what happened later?" Li Quansheng's voice carried a kind of fear.

Or rather, a deliberate tone, indicating that the content to be said next would be very alarming and very scary.

"Could it be that the person inside died?" Luo Xi said a possibility that seemed very serious to him.

"That's right, but that's not the most terrifying thing. Actually, it only took a few seconds to close and open the door. The last time that colleague opened the door again, he found that the other colleague who was just inside was gone, and the cabinet door in the lower right corner was rarely locked, but when it was opened, the corpse of the other colleague who stayed in this room was found inside, and it was said that it was completely cold."

Obviously, if what Li Quansheng said was true, then this matter was indeed very terrifying.

Otherwise, they will die?

If that's the case, then it's too difficult.

Even, it's simply an impossible task.

At this time, Luo Xi glanced at a clock hanging on the wall of the morgue.

The time on it was wrong.

Instantly, Luo Xi seemed to realize something, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Brother Li."

"What's wrong?"

"I want to try."

"Try what?" Li Quansheng was stunned, his dense eyes looked at Luo Xi again, with a look of incomprehension.

"That is, in a while, you go out and close the door, and I'll stay in the room!"

"Brother, do you think I'm talking nonsense about what I just said to you? No way, it's just a joke."

"Brother, I just want to try."

"No, no, this is a matter of life and death, I can't let you do whatever you want. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to others?" Li Quansheng waved his hands repeatedly.

And Luo Xi thought for a while, pushed the corpse outside into the morgue cabinet opened in the lower right corner, and then walked to the door: "Brother, then I'll try closing the door outside and then opening the door."

"Oh, that's okay, as long as you don't stay in this morgue." Li Quansheng nodded, then walked out, Luo Xi was behind him, but the latter didn't go out, but directly closed the door.

"Damn, brother, you..."

With a bang, the sound from outside was cut off.

At the same time, some kind of strange change immediately occurred in the entire morgue.

The clock on the wall began to move.

But before that, the clock was stopped.

The first time he entered this morgue, Luo Xi carefully observed the details here, including the clock on the wall, including the position of the pulley bed where the corpse was placed, and the markings on the corpse's wrist, and as for the details of the corpse, it was naturally impossible to miss.

Men, women, old, young, tall, short, fat, thin, whether they have leg hair, whether they have tattoos, the length of their nails, the size of their joints...

These were all within Luo Xi's observation range.

There was also the information hanging on the corpse's feet.

Name, age, date of birth, date of death...

For Luo Xi, these were routine operations. Not only in this place, but even when he went to any new environment, he would observe and record.

Only in this way can he compare details and discover clues.

So when Li Quansheng demonstrated and they entered the morgue for the second time, Luo Xi compared the differences.

First of all, the clock on the wall, the minute hand was originally still, but after comparing it after entering the room twice, it had moved for five minutes.

That is to say, don't look at just closing the door and then opening the door, this action is so fast that it only takes a few seconds, but in fact, this room will pass five minutes inside the moment the door is closed.

Luo Xi speculated that these five minutes were the time limit for 'conquering' this place.

In addition, the corpse was also different from the one that was pushed in before.

Although it looked very similar, from the details on the corpse, including the content on the deceased's information card, it could be clearly seen that it was not the same corpse.

This was very interesting.

Pushing the corpse in, closing the door, and then opening the door, it was found that the corpse that was pushed in had been taken out again, but it was not the original corpse.

There must be a problem here.

Of course, this also belonged to one of the elements that needed to be clarified and conquered in this 'plot level'.

At this moment, Luo Xi looked at the deceased's information card.

The deceased's name, date of birth, and date of death were different, but the gender remained the same.

Looking at the clock, Luo Xi knew that there was not much time left for him to solve this mystery plot.

If the five minutes were not enough to solve it, then he would also be killed by some terrifying force and stuffed into the morgue cabinet.

Others would be afraid of this, but Luo Xi didn't consider the horror of this matter at all.

He immediately began to act.

The first step was to pull out all the corpses.

The morgue cabinet was well designed. Open the cabinet door, and then you can pull the metal bed with rollers, so that the corpses inside will be pulled out, like large metal drawers.

Luo Xi pulled out the other eleven morgue cabinets, and then quickly checked the death information cards of all the corpses.

"So that's how it is, the same as my previous speculation."

A minute and a half had already passed.

This was simply racing against death. A slight hesitation, or delay, would lead to a tragic death here due to insufficient time.

If that were the case, to solve this place, he would have to wait until the next cycle day.

Luo Xi sped up, he began to exchange the positions of some corpses, just like disassembling a puzzle that was already randomly placed, and then putting the correct puzzle in the correct position.

But how to define 'correct' was the key to this morgue grid game.

Fortunately, Luo Xi had already solved this problem.

He moved the positions of about seven corpses, which was equivalent to exchanging positions with each other. If he didn't know the inside story of this puzzle, he wouldn't be able to see what Luo Xi was doing at all, just like a master at solving Rubik's cubes in the process of restoring the Rubik's cube, most people who don't understand restoring the Rubik's cube would think that the other party was randomly dialing the Rubik's cube.

Only at the moment when the Rubik's Cube was restored would surprise and shock appear.

Unfortunately, at this moment, there was only Luo Xi alone, and no audience saw this amazing restoration performance.

After putting the last corpse back in 'its place', Luo Xi closed the morgue cabinet door.

At this moment, he was covered in sweat, and the wound on his abdomen was bleeding again, looking somewhat serious.

It was also because Luo Xi was no longer able to take care of his own wound.

Let it worsen then; in any case, it couldn't affect his decryption.

For Luo Xi, 'decryption' was far more important than taking care of the wound.

He glanced at the clock at this moment.

Less than thirty seconds remained.

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

Luo Xi leaned against the wall at this time, recovering his strength, while starting the countdown.

Ten. Nine.

Three. Two. One.

With a click, followed by a series of sounds, as if some kind of mechanical mechanism had been triggered, the sound of metal gears meshing and turning, some sounds deep, as if coming from a very deep place.

Immediately afterward, the dial on the wall suddenly moved, and then actually popped forward, and behind it was a terrifying tentacle, covered in bloody flesh, and even facial features like human faces constantly moving, opening their mouths as if making silent screams.

And it wasn't silent.

Because Luo Xi seemed to really hear screams like hellish howls, one after another, like rusty needles, constantly piercing into the brain and remaining there.

Fortunately, this feeling seemed to only last for a moment.

Looking again, that terrifying tentacle had already fallen, reaching Luo Xi's face, and then the head split open, like a large flower of flesh, and the stamens inside were things like human arms, even with five fingers.

One of them was holding a card and handing it over.

"Is this a reward?"

Luo Xi thought to himself as he reached out and took the card.

The next moment, the flower of flesh closed, and then the tentacle retracted back into the hole, and that thing blocking the hole returned to the wall.

Everything seemed to return to normal.

Almost the next second, the door behind him opened.

Li Quansheng's anxious voice came.

"Damn, what are you joking about, old buddy? Get out here quickly."

Li Quansheng, who opened the door again, saw Luo Xi standing there as if nothing had happened, and the corpse that couldn't be stuffed into the morgue cabinet was also gone, and the lower right corner of the morgue cabinet was now normally closed. After discovering these things, Li Quansheng was directly stunned for three seconds.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing, I pushed the corpse into the morgue cabinet," Luo Xi said as he stuffed the card in his hand into his pocket.

Obviously, he had already cracked the 'grid game' in this morgue.

This grid game was not difficult; if Luo Xi were to summarize it, it would be one sentence: death year and month correspond to the zodiac sign, arranging different deceased according to the order of the twelve zodiac animals.

Luo Xi didn't think it was difficult, and not only him, but if Ke Lan came, he could also crack it.

The only difficulty was time.

Five minutes was too short, so the cracking process absolutely couldn't be done within these five minutes; this time was for you to use to change the positions of the corpses, so you had to crack the puzzle and the gameplay before this plot game started.

Successful cracking earns a reward; if you fail, you will definitely die.

Li Quansheng was obviously very angry, mainly because he was startled. Looking at it from another angle, it was also because he was afraid that something would happen to Luo Xi.

So, this was a security guard brother who liked to brag but was conscientious.

"Old brother, I was wrong; I shouldn't have messed around," Luo Xi apologized, trying his best to appease the other party.

Just then, Han Xiaoyan also walked out of the locker room.

"Xiaoyan, long time no see. When did you come back?" Li Quansheng said with a smile at this time. It could be seen that his eyes, which were of different sizes, were staring at Han Xiaoyan's long legs, seemingly very infatuated.

For men, looking at legs is eternal happiness.

"I just came back to pick up something, Luo, let's go!" Han Xiaoyan waved the work card in her hand and called out to Luo Xi.

"Then, Old Brother Li, see you later. I'll treat you and Old Liu to drinks when I have time," Luo Xi walked towards Han Xiaoyan. Naturally, he had already carded the security guard's baton and flashlight in advance. Li Quansheng had forgotten about this because he was worried about something going wrong.

So, Luo Xi had to leave quickly, lest the other party remember.

"It's a deal. You have to call me when you drink," Li Quansheng also waved his hand. Only after Luo Xi and Han Xiaoyan left did he feel that something was wrong.

Looking back at the wall and seeing that a piece of equipment was missing, he realized it.

"Damn it, why are a baton and a flashlight missing? Where did I put them?" He immediately began to search anxiously.

Han Xiaoyan, who found her work card, looked very happy. She asked Luo Xi if he wanted to go to the cafeteria for a snack and said that it was her treat.

Luo Xi shook his head.

He looked at the time. More than twenty minutes had passed since Brother Mao launched the killing.

He had to go and see what was happening on the emergency room side.

Of course, the result was nothing more than two possibilities: one was that the medical staff there were no match and were slaughtered by Brother Mao, and the other was that Brother Mao was suppressed and counter-killed by the monster medical staff here.

Regardless of which one it was, Luo Xi needed to do something.

What Luo Xi didn't know was that not long after he and Han Xiaoyan left the underground morgue, a nursing assistant pushed a cleaning cart into the morgue.

This nursing assistant was wearing a mask and a hat, and looked no different from the other nursing assistants in the Second Ward.

Of course, if you observed carefully, you would find that this nursing assistant was actually disguised as a Memory Weaver.

He had been cautious since entering the morgue.

"This time, the reward for entering the Second Ward can only be used to draw one card. That is to say, at least two people came to the Second Ward before me. Heh, this is really rare. I didn't expect that someone would be able to discover how to enter the Second Ward."

This Memory Weaver, disguised as, or rather, who was already in as a nursing assistant, muttered.

He was a senior Memory Weaver, and belonged to the experts among the seniors. In the past, some people had entered the Second Ward, but relatively few could enter before him, because a key to entering the Second Ward was to apply and become a nursing assistant in the Second Ward.

This process was relatively troublesome and dangerous. Even if he was already very familiar with it, it would still take time and process to pass the screening.

So, discovering that someone, and more than one, had entered the Second Ward before him, made him feel a very strong sense of crisis.

"Don't let me find out, otherwise, I will definitely kill you."

This senior lowered his head and swept the morgue with a cleaning cart. He naturally noticed the somewhat abnormal security guard today.

The other party seemed to be annoyed and searching for something, and was even cursing in his mouth, saying something about having his salary deducted.

"So, should I strike up a conversation? Maybe it can trigger a certain plot task?" This senior struggled for a while, but ultimately did not choose to take the risk, because for him, there was a more important thing to do.

That was to攻略 the grid game in the morgue over there.

"I died inside on the last cycle day, but it also allowed me to figure out the rules inside. Hehe, who would have thought that the twelve grids were actually related to the year and month of the deceased's death, and could correspond to the twelve zodiac animals. So, the twelve grids can correspond to Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao respectively. Haha, I'm so smart. This time, I will definitely conquer this grid game. I believe the reward in the Second Ward will definitely be top-notch."

"Moreover, a contagious event will occur in the entire Second Ward in a while. Hiding here is the safest!"

This senior suppressed his excited mood, lowered his head, and pushed the cleaning cart over. When he arrived at the door, he happily pushed it open.

The next moment, he was stunned.

Where's the corpse?

Where's the open cabinet door?

It seems... something's not right!
