Day of Imprisonment

"The Day of Confinement isn't a place where you can speak freely. Some things can be said, some can't, Brother Mao, do you understand?" Luo Xi said at this moment.

He felt that Brother Mao could understand his meaning.

Sure enough, Brother Mao was stunned, his expression changed, his lips moved, but he still held back and nodded.

However, it could be seen that he had a kind of urgent desire to communicate.

In fact, Luo Xi felt the same way.

This time, relying on Lin Qiqi's ability to connect the three people's nightmare dreams, there were obviously many unexpected discoveries.

However, for safety's sake, Luo Xi didn't plan to directly communicate this information with Brother Mao.

Even if he was being overly cautious, he had to ensure safety. As the saying goes, 'A little caution steers a ship for ten thousand years,' not to mention that some things cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness.

Because Luo Xi already knew some things.

For example, he himself wasn't the first time he had become a Memory Retriever, which meant that he wasn't the first time he had become an amnesiac. The number of times the two identities had been switched might be more than he imagined, and more frequent.

Although Luo Xi had a lot of confidence in himself, he couldn't rule out the possibility of a mishap.

Luo Xi had already discovered a clue when he was in the Sega Apartment building.

At that time, Zhou Xinpeng, the manager of the Sega Apartment building, was almost detected by some kind of power the moment he violated the rules. Then Luo Xi personally saw a manager being 'executed' by the 'Company'.

That was one thing.

There was also a more obvious 'hint'.

That was the already missing 'Old Wang'.

The manager of the customer service outsourcing company 'A Day for the Working Class' scene, when Old Wang was suddenly attacked and found by him, he clearly showed a kind of fear and dread of the unknown existence during the conversation.

The other party wasn't afraid of doing wrong things, but was very concerned about 'saying the wrong things'.

Some words, Old Wang even seemed to be deliberately saying them to someone.

Because of this, Luo Xi knew that there might be someone within the Day of Confinement who could eavesdrop on the conversations of the Memory Retrievers, and it was very likely that they belonged to the 'Company' side.

As for what Brother Mao wanted to say, it was very likely related to his nightmare.

However, there was a premise here: Brother Mao fell into a coma for other reasons, even causing damage to his soul. It was just that Lin Qiqi used [Nightmare] to forcibly connect the souls of the three people together in a dreamlike way.

The only purpose of doing this was to awaken Brother Mao.

Because if they didn't do this, Brother Mao might lose all his memories, or even go completely insane, and even the reboot mechanism of the Day of Confinement wouldn't be able to restore him.

Ke Lan had said something similar. There was a Memory Retriever whose situation was almost the same as Brother Mao's. He suddenly seemed to recall something, and then bled from all seven orifices. In the end, he became a complete madman, and even after the Day of Confinement was restarted, he couldn't be restored.

Since there was a precedent, it wouldn't hurt to be careful.

Because Luo Xi suspected that the Memory Retriever Ke Lan mentioned, like Brother Mao, might have recalled memories that shouldn't be recalled due to some accident.

These memories were 'taboo' within the Day of Confinement.

Causing damage to the soul and driving people mad was a kind of confidentiality mechanism.

Based on this, Luo Xi decided to adopt another way of communicating.

"Qiqi, how are you?" He glanced at Lin Qiqi next to him.

The latter, although pale and looking very tired, still shook her head: "I'm fine!"

"Then, how much do you remember about what happened in the dream?" Luo Xi continued to ask.

Lin Qiqi smiled: "Everything!"

"Very good, I want to talk to Brother Mao, can your card ring ability help us?" Luo Xi knew that Lin Qiqi could use the Soul窥er's ability to communicate directly with him through thoughts, but he wasn't sure if she could allow him and a third party to communicate in the same way.

"I'll try!" Lin Qiqi was extremely efficient and never talked nonsense.

Especially Luo Xi's requests, she would definitely do what she could, and if she couldn't do it, she would try to find a way to do it.

Lin Qiqi first summoned the card book, took out two cards and activated them, then used two fingers to press on Luo Xi and Brother Mao's foreheads respectively.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"It's done, a three-way call, but don't exceed two minutes."

After Lin Qiqi finished speaking, Luo Xi immediately heard Lin Qiqi's voice in his mind.

"Let's start, think about what you want, say what you want, the three of us can hear each other."

Luo Xi didn't ask why it couldn't exceed two minutes. Since Lin Qiqi said so, then he would follow her rules.

"Brother Mao, I went to your dream. That should be a nightmare formed by your memories, but I suspect that it was something that really happened. 2049, probably before March, Whale Swallowing City, Fusheng Residential Building, 14th floor, Room 1404. At that time, the city fell into chaos, and you were talking to a woman, who should be your wife. The content of the conversation was that you were applying for some kind of qualification, but you needed to queue up. Later, you applied for a digital card. Also, I heard about the disaster and the Earth Ark."

Luo Xi quickly threw out the keywords he had grasped.

These still needed Brother Mao, the owner of the memory, to answer and integrate.

"Let me interject," Lin Qiqi said at this moment, "I seem to recall some things as well, but it's like being in a strange room. I seem to see the starry sky through the glass, and the time is..."

Before she could finish, Luo Xi interrupted, "Is the time before or after 2057?"

Lin Qiqi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she said, "It's 2050. There seems to be such a year flashing by, but this memory is very vague. I can't even tell whether it was a dream or something that really happened."

"Luo Xi, Luo Xi is so magical. He can hear voices without speaking... Wait, why does the voice of whatever I'm thinking appear? Alas, I seem to be a little hungry. I should go eat something with Fatty Qian... No, am I thinking whatever I'm saying? This is so embarrassing. Damn it, why is it like this? Luo Xi, where did you find such a beautiful girl? It's over, my inner thoughts are coming out. I have to calm down, calm down, calm down, and not think about anything!" Mao Ge's voice sounded, but he was obviously not very used to soul communication. The voice burst out all at once, rambling on and on.

"Mao Ge, focus on my question," Luo Xi had to interrupt his wild thoughts loudly.

"Okay, okay!" Mao Ge took a deep breath: "You're right. I don't know why these strange memories popped up. It must be that when I saw Xiao Guo playing games, it triggered some of my memories, because I remember when I was in school, I also played the game 'Four Clans War'. At that time, the memory fragments that appeared together were like water spraying out of a burst water pipe. I couldn't stop it even if I tried. Actually, I thought the blood vessels in my head had burst, because my head hurt so badly at the time..."

The latest novels are available at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"So, you are not sure whether those memories are real?" Luo Xi once again stopped him from rambling in time.

"Yes, I'm not sure, but it does seem real."

"Then, in your memory, what was your ranking in the qualification application? Be precise."

"1513, I think it should be..."

"It is indeed 1513!" This time Luo Xi's voice was very certain.

"How are you so sure?" Mao Ge was a little puzzled instead.

"If it were just a simple fantasy or dream, you wouldn't be so sensitive to numbers, but you care about this ranking position very much. You even formed a subconscious obsession. After the memory was transformed into a nightmare, there were exactly 1513 of your shells from your door to the street. They were always queuing, but the queue never moved... That's why you applied for another thing called a digital card. What is that?"

This time it was Mao Ge's turn to be dumbfounded. He himself didn't remember these things, because he didn't see those human-shaped shells of himself queuing up outside the door.

As for the digital card...

"I remember it was... abandoning the physical body, yes, abandoning the physical body, because the number of places on the ship was limited, or rather, it was impossible for everyone to get on. The so-called queuing was just a method of delaying, in order to stabilize people's hearts, but it was a blatant deception."

Mao Ge obviously integrated these memory fragments under Luo Xi's guidance.

"The digital card is a digital life backup of a person, a kind of high technology. That's right, our development in those years was very fast, unimaginably fast..." Mao Ge's tone changed. He seemed to be constantly digging out those memories.

"Disaster is coming, we have to escape. The only way out is to get on the ship, but only a very few people can get on the ship. I waited for three years. Although I knew I would never get it, I still held on to a glimmer of unrealistic hope, ah..." Mao Ge covered his head with his hands again at this time.

His condition was not right again.

Blood seeped out of his nostrils and ears again.

Luo Xi reacted extremely quickly. He interrupted the soul dialogue and went straight forward, slamming his hand **** on Mao Ge's neck.

The latter fainted directly.

"That's it for now!" Luo Xi said. Obviously, digging into these forbidden memories was a very dangerous thing.

A slight carelessness would damage the soul and turn one into an idiot.

Mao Ge's situation once again proved that this was a special confidentiality mechanism.

Although Luo Xi knew these memories, the reason why he was unharmed was that these memories were not his, and he could not extract the corresponding content from his own memory. It was like an irrelevant person listening to another person telling some stories of unknown truth.

So, the confidentiality mechanism of the Day of Imprisonment was invalid for him.

Then, is this a coincidence, or a deliberate setting?

As for Lin Qiqi, her situation was even more special.

Although Mao Ge's memory also resonated with her to some extent, it was obvious that Lin Qiqi was not affected either, perhaps because she was a 'Soul窥者' and had a strong defense against the soul itself.

This defense ability may have offset part of the confidentiality mechanism for forbidden memories.

"Don't think about this matter for now. Just treat it as a nightmare," Luo Xi instructed.

Lin Qiqi nodded. It could be seen that she also realized the deep-seated horror of this matter, so her expression was very solemn.

"As for Mao Ge... I have to think of another way," Luo Xi had a headache. Lin Qiqi was a Soul窥者, and she had some self-protection and defense methods, but Mao Ge didn't.

If he woke up and continued to dig into those forbidden memories, he would most likely be turned into a complete madman by the confidentiality mechanism of the Day of Imprisonment.
