Day of Imprisonment

“So, ‘daytime’ here means safety, while ‘night’ means danger!” Luo Xi called everyone on his side over to quickly discuss and share information.

During the twelve minutes of ‘night’ just now, Luo Xi’s performance remained consistently stable.

This kind of performance isn't anything special to those familiar with him, but it definitely caused a huge stir among those who teamed up with Luo Xi for the first time.

“Hide-and-seek plot, two different identities of seeker and hider, the alternating rules of day and night... He even figured out the residents of the first floor of Area A. If our strategy team were to do this, it would take at least one entire cycle day, or even two, to figure it out.”

Zhang Ming and Feng Kai’s mindsets had already begun to change.

Strength is the ultimate truth, and the cornerstone of ‘respect.’

Especially on the Day of Confinement, only with strength can one gain the respect of others.

Moreover, there was a comparison.

When they were hiding in the cardboard boxes earlier, they personally witnessed how Zhao Sen and the others who came in later fled in a panic, and several people died.

But these people of theirs suffered no losses because they were hiding in the cardboard boxes.

“Brother Qiu didn’t misjudge. This guy is indeed an expert.” Feng Kai also lost his initial arrogance, and the way he looked at Luo Xi at this time also carried a complex emotion.

“I need to record this new information. Heavens, we obtained the information of the first floor of Area A without any losses. This has never happened before.” Zhang Ming was also suppressing her excitement.

“But how exactly did he do it? I still can’t figure it out.” The more Feng Kai thought about it, the more horrified he felt.

He was from the strategy team, a scene analyst. It could be said that he belonged to the ‘professionals’ among the Reminiscents, a genuine expert.

But precisely because he was an expert, he was even clearer about the value of what Luo Xi had done in those ten-odd minutes just now.

Taking a wrong step in this kind of place could lead to eternal damnation.

“You can’t see it, but I have a little discovery.” Zhang Ming suddenly said.

Feng Kai was stunned and quickly asked for details.

“First of all, after we entered the scene, there were many graffiti on the walls, many of which were drawn with chalk. This shows that there may be children or child-like monsters in the scene. Also, there are pictures of children playing hide-and-seek on the wall.”

“Where? How come I didn’t see it?”

“In the corner of that wall, but it’s mixed in with all sorts of messy debris and various small advertisements. If you don’t observe carefully, you can’t see it at all. I noticed it because the position where I was hiding just now was very close.”

“So, he noticed it from the beginning and then associated it? But the night and day…”

“On that wall, the children drew the sun and the moon, a circle radiating light, a crescent moon, and below them are all corpses.”

“Really, damn, then his observation skills are too strong. I didn’t notice it at all at first.”

“That’s why Brother Qiu is so respectful to him. I knew it, Brother Qiu is the kind of person who usually doesn’t admire anyone, not even Leader Lin.”

“Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me that this Luo Xi is stronger than Leader Lin?”

“No, I don’t mean that. Although he is strong, he is definitely not as good as Leader Lin. There is no doubt about this.”

The two lowered their heads to communicate.

At this time, Luo Xi had already begun to arrange the next step.

“. Here, identity is very important, but I don’t know the specific situation, and it’s difficult to predict. Also, I’ve calculated that, according to the current time, it’s not enough time to explore the entire building in seven day-night cycles. Moreover, the danger when night falls is definitely not as simple as what we just encountered. If it were that easy, the people who came in before wouldn’t have disappeared without a trace. So please note that during the next night, or even during the day, people may die.”

Luo Xi was saying the unpleasant things first.

The necessary precautions must be taken.

“I just tried it. Mobile phones in the scene can communicate with each other, but they can’t communicate with the outside of the scene. So this gives us a condition to explore the four areas separately.”

“Wait a minute, are we going to act separately?” Fatty Qian asked.

He was very clear about the danger and weirdness of this place. Honestly, if Luo Xi wasn’t here, he would rather quit the scene immediately.

His pants, which he had wet just now, were not yet dry.

And this kind of peeping was not just in one place.

There was also one point.

“You need to pay attention to one thing, the graffiti and advertisements on the wall,” Luo Xi reminded at this time.

“As expected, the reason why he can deduce all this lies in his observation of details.” Zhang Ming and Feng Kai looked at each other, especially Zhang Ming. She was very excited and proud, because regarding the graffiti on the wall, not only Luo Xi noticed it, but she did too.

This shows that her observation and control of scene details are also very high-level.

Maybe if she performs well this time, in addition to being a recorder, she can also serve as a scene analyst.

“I am strong and have great potential!” Zhang Ming clenched her fist to cheer herself up.

But Luo Xi’s next sentence made her dumbfounded.

"I don't know if you guys noticed, but those graffiti and advertisements are different from when we first came in. They've changed. Some of the changes are very subtle, and even with careful observation, you might miss them. This suggests that some of the clues within the scene that we think are valuable might actually be misleading."

"What?" Zhang Ming asked, extremely surprised. She immediately looked at the graffiti on the wall.

There was a sun, a moon, and children playing hide-and-seek.

And all sorts of messy advertisements.

Wasn't it like this from the start?

Could it be that these graffiti have changed?

She began to recall carefully, and slowly, a look of horror appeared in her eyes.

"Indeed, some details have changed." She then looked at a graffiti of a child on the wall.

The drawing was very simple, a circle for the head, and the body made up of horizontal and vertical lines, like a stick figure.

Among them, the number of hiders in the graffiti seemed to have increased, with a few more.

As for other differences, Zhang Ming couldn't remember them, and naturally couldn't find them.

"But, what is the significance of these changes? Is it just to mislead us? But in reality, very few people even notice these graffiti," Zhang Ming couldn't help but ask.

She especially wanted to know how Luo Xi would analyze this matter.

But Luo Xi's answer was very simple.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

Luo Xi was telling the truth.

No one is omniscient or omnipotent. He is not a god, and even during the Day of Imprisonment, gods may not know everything.

At this time, he looked at everyone, and then thought for a moment: "Now we split into groups and go to areas A, B, C, and D to find people. When you find someone, post it in the group. I will create a temporary communication chat group, and everyone join it."

Taking out his phone, Luo Xi began to operate it.

Then he announced the group QR code, and soon, he received successive group entry requests.

"Fatty, you and I are in a group. Brother Mao, you come too, let's explore Area A. Ke Lan, you and Qi Qi, Wu Rui, and Guo Zening are in a group, you go to Area D. Liang Qiu, you and your people, divide yourselves into two groups, and Areas B and C are entrusted to you."

Although many people had opinions about the grouping, feeling that people should not be scattered.

Especially in such a dangerous place.

But Luo Xi obviously didn't intend to discuss it with them, and also because of the powerful ability he had shown earlier, no one could raise objections.

You can have opinions, but you have to keep them to yourself.

"Ke Lan, come here for a moment." At this time, Luo Xi called Ke Lan aside alone, and then whispered a few words.

During this process, Ke Lan looked at Luo Xi several times, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to control his emotions.

"I understand."

"Don't force yourself. If it really doesn't work, just quit," Luo Xi didn't say much.

"Then, let's start moving. There are still five minutes before the night shift. Everyone, hurry up and enter the areas you want to explore within five minutes!"

With Luo Xi's order, everyone could only separate immediately and run forward.

Especially Ke Lan and the others going to Area D, because they had to pass through Areas B and C, so they had to run, otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to pass within five minutes.

Soon, in Area A, the original large group of people, now only Luo Xi, Fatty Qian, and Brother Mao remained.

"No, Brother Luo, don't you think there are too few people in our group?" Fatty Qian couldn't help but say. He wanted to say it earlier, but he felt that it might affect Luo Xi's authority, so he kept it to himself until now.

"If I told you that among these people, the only ones I can be sure are okay right now are you and Brother Mao, would you still think we have too few people?" Luo Xi asked back with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Instantly, Fatty Qian was no longer calm, his eyes widened, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Holy crap, no, no way?" He naturally understood what Luo Xi meant.

Wanting to ask more, Luo Xi had already made a 'shh' gesture to silence him.

"Let's take care of business first."

"Wait, wait a minute, uh, I, I still don't understand. Brother Luo, no, how do you know?"

He prided himself on being bold and capable, but at this moment, goosebumps rose on his body, layer upon layer.

If he hadn't made big talk with Luo Xi before, saying that he would never retreat, he might have already left this scene.

"Brother Luo means that someone in the team has a problem? Holy crap, that is to say, they, may not be them, then what are they now? This is too scary." At this moment, Fatty Qian couldn't help but shudder. At this moment, except for Luo Xi, he found everyone suspicious.

In accepting the change in the situation, Fatty Qian was obviously faster. He quickly accepted this setting and began to actively report.

"Then if that's the case, I, I want to say, I feel that Brother Mao seems a little off right now. Look at him, he's a little confused and doesn't talk much. This is too abnormal. You say, could he be "

Fatty Qian said almost in the smallest voice possible.

"Brother Mao is fine!" Luo Xi's response was only five words.

Fatty Qian didn't dare to ask any more questions, but his expression carried a kind of horror that was difficult to eliminate.

What Luo Xi had told him just now was too terrifying.
