Day of Imprisonment

#187 - Go knock on the door

Fatty Qian guessed correctly.

Luo Xi did indeed know some information that others didn't.

However, he only obtained it the moment before entering the scene.

And the source of the information was someone he hadn't even expected.

"Fatty Qian, take a stroll with me. Remember, you are now like me, playing hide-and-seek, looking for people, and you'll die if you can't find them," Luo Xi's words once again made Fatty Qian nervous.

"Die if I can't find them?" Fatty Qian was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Could it be that the death mechanism of this hide-and-seek scenario isn't being found, but rather, not finding anyone?"

"That's right," Luo Xi replied succinctly: "After being found in hide-and-seek, you must find other people. If you can't find them within the specified time, you will die."

"That's easy. I know where others are hiding. I can just find anyone."

"That's a game trap. Because there's no limit to the number of people you can find, that little ghost found you just now, and I revealed myself at the same time, which is equivalent to finding two people. Then it can hide, and the people looking for others become you and me. By analogy, the number of people responsible for finding will continue to increase, and the number of people hiding will inevitably decrease. Furthermore, only by finding others can you become a hider again. After the game ends, those who are still finders will die."

Luo Xi walked very fast, almost running as he spoke.

Fatty Qian followed closely beside him.

"Since that's the case, then we should just go find people. Why are we strolling?"

"Because the finder has an advantage..." Luo Xi had just said this when the door of a house in front of them was suddenly pushed open, and a tall, ferocious ghost male owner walked out carrying a person.

It was like carrying a chicken.

That person was already half-dead, covered in blood, his neck being strangled, his eyes wide, barely able to breathe.

And this ghost male owner was extremely tall, estimated to be over 1.9 meters, with shoulders as wide as a door panel, having to turn sideways to go out. He wore a checkered cooking apron, which was also covered in stains and black bloodstains from long-term use.

His appearance was terrifying, with a wide mouth and fangs, and a terrifying ghostly appearance exuding an extreme danger.

In his other hand, he held a boning knife.

When he saw this ghost, Fatty Qian almost cried out.

Luo Xi seemed to have predicted this, and covered the other's mouth in advance.

The ghost turned his head, saw the two of them, looked at them for a second, then looked away.

He didn't attack.

"Get out of here and play," the ghost cursed in a sinister voice.

Then, in the corner of the wall, he squatted on the ground and grabbed a dirty, blood-stained iron basin.

The stench of blood was extremely strong in that corner, but because of the distance, Luo Xi and the others had not yet walked over there.

At this time, Luo Xi quickly walked over, looking at the Memory Gatherer who was caught by the ghost male owner.

"Hypnotist?" Luo Xi asked.

That Memory Gatherer was stunned for a moment, shook his head, wanted to speak, but couldn't, his eyes filled with pleading.

Luo Xi sighed and left before the ghost male owner went crazy.

Just hearing the sounds of this scene could cause intense discomfort.

"Holy crap, that's too intense," Fatty Qian reached out and touched his face, completely covered in sweat.

He wasn't stupid.

Luo Xi had just said that 'finders' had a special advantage, and now it seemed that they would not be attacked by the residents of this 'Haunted Building'.

But the identity of 'finder' had a time limit.

Once it expired and he hadn't found a 'hider' to replace his identity, he would die miserably.

As for the unlucky ghost who was disemboweled just now, it was estimated that he was a Memory Gatherer who had entered from the Awakened Association before.

Given this ending, what would be the fate of the other missing personnel was already foreseeable.

"According to the information they originally provided, there was no danger on the first floor, and there were no residents, but now there are. Currently, it seems that these residents are not very friendly," Luo Xi said, and Fatty Qian's expression next to him was wonderful: "Luo-ju, you're being polite. Are they not very friendly? They're simply more terrifying than fierce gods and evil spirits. And this is only the first floor."

The implication was that he didn't dare to imagine what they would encounter on the second floor, the third floor, or even higher floors.

"Scared?" Luo Xi glanced at Fatty Qian: "There's still time to quit now. You are currently in the identity of a finder and can quickly return the way you came. After leaving the scene, the identity restriction will automatically disappear."

"Luo-ju, what are you saying? I, Qian Yuejin, am not someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death, abandoning my brothers. Let me tell you, although I admire you, Luo-ju, you can't insult me."

"If you're not afraid, go knock on the doors, knock on every single door!" Luo Xi was waiting for this sentence.

Fatty Qian was stunned.

Actively knock on the doors?

And knock on every single door?

Wasn't this courting death?

But in the next second, Fatty Qian reacted, roared, and rushed over, really starting to knock on every single door.

Because in that instant, he understood Luo Xi's meaning.

Taking advantage of still having the identity of a finder, he had to maximize its use. 'Finders' would not be attacked by the building's residents for the time being. In that case, why not be bold and wild, taking this opportunity to investigate the situation of all the residents.

He could also find people along the way.

Luo Xi had just been confirming whether the Memory Gatherer who was caught was a hypnotist.

He just asked directly, and the ghost male owner didn't move them.

This showed that the plan seemed crazy, but in reality, it was quite safe and secure.

So the entire first floor of Area A was filled with the sound of knocking.

Luo Xi was behind him.

If the resident's door opened, he would look for an opportunity to observe. In fact, he would even quickly enter and exit when he determined it was safe.

This behavior was like licking blood off a knife's edge.

It could no longer be described with the word 'exciting'.

Without a willpower and rationality far beyond ordinary people, he simply couldn't do this.

An old woman with a bird-like face, holding a bloody sharp knife in one hand, and a piece of bloody human skin in the other; there was also a hostess whose neck was almost cut off, one hand holding her head that could fall off at any time, and the other hand holding a large soup spoon, it seemed that she was cooking.

As for what was being stewed in the soup pot on the stove in the house, perhaps only she herself knew.

There were several similar ghosts.

Fatty Qian knocked on seven or eight doors along the way, at least half of which were opened. Some ghosts would come out to check the situation, and some, only the door opened, and it seemed that there was no one in the house.

Luo Xi quickly observed and recorded. He seized the opportunity, entered the room of the bird-faced old woman, quickly searched, and found a skinned corpse inside. Judging from some physical characteristics, it should be a woman.

But it was completely unrecognizable.

There was a small black pair of scissors on the table over there.

Luo Xi reached out and picked it up, and immediately received a prompt for a card prop.

[Blood and Flesh Tailor's Scissors], spare parts, can be carded (materialized), this is a pair of scissors very suitable for cutting human skin, very sharp, be careful when using it, because it may accidentally cut your skin - sometimes, you will feel that it is alive.

Good stuff.

Luo Xi directly carded it and took it away.

Picking pockets was originally one of his plans.

There were more than just these good things in the house.

Luo Xi also saw an unfinished human skin vest.

Obviously, the bird-faced old woman was making this vest.

Touching it, it was also a card prop, take it away.

[Human Skin Vest], produced by the bird-faced old woman, although it has not been completed, it can also be worn, it can cover up the human breath, making you smell more like 'their' kind - please note, this vest is unisex.

In addition to these two things, Luo Xi couldn't find anything else, or rather, he didn't have time.

Running out quickly, Luo Xi almost bumped into the bird-faced old woman.

The latter was stunned, the terrifying bird face stared at Luo Xi for a while, and immediately rushed into the house, while Luo Xi ran even faster.

What would be the reaction if the other party knew that someone had stolen its things?

"Fatty, go upstairs!"

Luo Xi shouted.

Originally, he was planning to go to other rooms to take a look, but for safety's sake, it was safer to go to the second floor.

Sure enough, when Luo Xi ran to the stairwell, the terrifying roar and scolding of the bird-faced old woman came from behind.

The other party rushed out.

The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.

But Luo Xi had already reached the second floor at this time, and hid to the left and right with Fatty.

Fortunately, the bird-faced old woman didn't come up.

After confirming this, Luo Xi realized one thing.

"They can't cross floors!"
