Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi saw Yu Xiaoru, and she also saw him.

One could tell the surprise on the girl's face.

She probably didn't expect to meet Luo Xi here.

Immediately afterwards, she became a little agitated, wanting to break free from the little girl ghost's hand, but that little hand seemed to have the strength of ten thousand catties, like iron pliers, impossible to break free from.

"You are Sun Guoguo's mother, ah, we've finally waited for you, this托管 fee, you have to pay..." Sure enough, Teacher Liang was still thinking about the 托管 fee. In addition, the matter of owing 托管 fees was obviously not just the parent of that Zhang Hao.

"Ghosts are objects of obsession!"

Luo Xi suddenly had such a thought.

He looked at the time, then got up and walked to the door.

Ignoring Yu Xiaoru, he looked at the little girl ghost holding her.

"You are Sun Guoguo, ah?" Luo Xi asked with a smile.

"I am Sun Guoguo, you are..." The little girl ghost looked at Luo Xi with two completely asymmetrical eyes, her eyes carrying a hint of ferocity.

"Zhang Hao said you always bully him. Is it fun for a girl to bully others?" Luo Xi directly splashed a pot of dirty water over.

He was a professional at framing children.

"Ah? I didn't..." Sun Guoguo was obviously caught off guard.

"Children can't lie. If you did it, you did it. Moreover, I just hope you apologize to Zhang Hao. After all, uncle also knows you didn't mean to bully him. Children should get along well together, right?" Luo Xi's main tactic was an attitude of 'If I say you are, you are, don't explain'.

You can't refuse the bully label.

Next, Luo Xi didn't listen to the little girl ghost's explanation at all, but raised his head, reached out and grabbed Yu Xiaoru's collar: "Your child is young and doesn't understand things, but you as a parent don't understand things either? Come, come, let's go out and reason. I'm telling you, this matter is not over..."

Saying that, he almost forcibly pulled Yu Xiaoru from the little girl ghost's hand and dragged her outside the door.

"I..." Sun Guoguo still wanted to say something.

"You shut up!" Luo Xi turned his head and roared, then said to Teacher Liang: "This matter has nothing to do with Teacher Liang, and it has nothing to do with the small canteen. It's a problem between me and this parent. Teacher Liang, don't get involved."

After speaking, he closed the door directly.

A complete success.

Outside the door, the two immediately ran away.

They squatted down in the corner by the wall.

Yu Xiaoru grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth, and gave Luo Xi a thumbs up.

"Luo Xi, I knew there was hope the first time I saw you."

Last time at the Tun Tun Bookstore, she had witnessed Luo Xi's methods and abilities. She had seen many self-proclaimed Memory Retrievers, but without exception, none of them could compare to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi went straight to the point: "Where is the hypnotist?"

"Ah?" Yu Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You're here to find Kan Nan? Do you know her?"

"I don't know her, but I do have something to find her for. Is this Kan Nan still alive?" Luo Xi asked.

"I don't know. I and Kan Nan didn't come in the same wave. By the way, can you help me save Sister An? She..."

"I won't. I'm only here for the hypnotist this time. Other people are none of my business." Luo Xi refused directly.

"Hey, why are you so heartless? How should I put it, we are old acquaintances. I even have a little interest in you..." Yu Xiaoru tried to use the same tricks she used on ordinary men on Luo Xi, but Luo Xi turned around and left.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Yu Xiaoru didn't expect the other party to be serious, and quickly lowered her posture: "I'm begging you, okay? Can you help me? Aunt Qin is already dead. This place is too terrifying. Sister An has to go through another cycle day... In short, can you please help me?"

Luo Xi then said: "It's not that I'm heartless, it's because I also have very important things to do, and I really don't have time."

"Are you looking for our hypnotist Kan Nan?" Yu Xiaoru asked.

Luo Xi looked at the passage at this time. Ghosts were walking over there, and there were more behind them, but he didn't see Brother Mao and Fatty Qian.

But there were many places to hide here.

For example, the cardboard boxes behind, and some messy stacked woven bags, and the wardrobe in front.

He didn't know what the residents here were thinking, always liking to put old wardrobes outside.

It seemed like they didn't want them anymore.

But they didn't throw them in the trash either.

Maybe they felt they could still be used?

Luo Xi guessed that Brother Mao and Fatty Qian were hiding in the wardrobe.

Otherwise, there was no other place to hide.

Now he wasn't in the identity of a 'seeker', so he couldn't barge in like before. Moreover, this time, the 'Night' time period had obviously more ghosts running around than last time.

It was currently unknown if there was any pattern.

Right now, it was like a hundred ghosts walking at night. It was impossible to run around in this situation, so he could only wait for the 'Day' shift.

Taking advantage of the time, Luo Xi took out a few things and began to observe them.

They were brought out from the Worry-Free Small Canteen just now.

One was a thread-bound book on the bookshelf that clearly didn't belong to 'children's reading'.

It had no cover and was very old, the pages already yellowed.

The other was an imprint that Luo Xi had taken down on a desk with a pencil and paper.

First, the old thread-bound book. After opening it, Luo Xi knew what it was.

"《Taoist Canon》. How could there be such a book on the bookshelf of the small canteen? Which child would like to read it?" Luo Xi was a little surprised. One explanation he could think of was that the little child ghosts in those small canteens were very naughty and liked to wander around the entire Haunted Building, playing games. Besides hide-and-seek, they must have other forms of entertainment.

For example, picking up things, or even stealing things.

This book was probably stolen (picked up) by a naughty little child ghost and then put back on the bookshelf.

In addition, the thread-bound book was handwritten.

Handwritten in brush calligraphy, specifically in the official script. Luo Xi wasn't a calligraphy expert, but he could tell the writing was strong and powerful, showing considerable skill.

On the back of the page, there were four small characters.

They read: 'White Rabbit Taoist'.

It seemed like a signature, and a Taoist's religious name.

"A handwritten 'Daozang'. There are Taoists here!" Luo Xi reacted quickly: "That's right, in a place with such rampant fierce ghosts, if there weren't some beings capable of restraining them, the Memory Retrievers would have no chance of survival. That would clearly violate the principle of fairness in the scenario design."

Luo Xi opened it and took a look.

It was similar to the 'Daozang' in his memory, but this version in his hands had some unique characteristics.

It was more like a commentary on the 'Daozang', a summary of personal understanding.

To put it bluntly, it was like study notes.

Yu Xiaoru leaned over to look, but she clearly didn't understand; this was a blind spot in her knowledge.

As for the imprint Luo Xi had made on the desk with a pencil and paper, some parts were easily recognizable.

It was a '☳'.

A trigram from the Eight Trigrams.

Luo Xi muttered to himself at this moment: "The Zhen trigram (☳), with one yang line below and two yin lines above, represents thunder, movement, vigor, and motivation. Its direction is due east."

The newest novels are first published on 69shuba!

He then looked up at the Worry-Free Dining Table and then at other places, his expression strange, clearly having some ideas.

"What is this?" Yu Xiaoru clearly didn't know about this.

"The Eight Trigrams!"

Luo Xi thought for a moment and immediately took a risk, running towards the stairwell.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Don't come over; too many people will easily get us exposed." Luo Xi left those words behind and dashed down the stairs.

He went down to the second floor.

There were some things Luo Xi needed to figure out.

He had been to the second floor before, so he immediately saw a child ghost looking for something.

Further away, there was also a wardrobe.

He didn't know if the child ghost in the drawer was still there.

Luo Xi then picked up something and threw it in one direction, distracting the little ghost searching for people in the stairwell. Then, he quickly ran to the wardrobe, opened it, and sure enough, saw the child ghost with all its bones broken, pitifully huddled inside.

Seeing Luo Xi, it was stunned.

"Zhang Hao?" Luo Xi asked.

The little ghost nodded: "It's me. Where did you go just now?"

"I had something to do just now. By the way, have you seen this before?" Luo Xi picked up the imprinted paper with the Zhen trigram (☳) and showed it to him.

It was clear that Zhang Hao was stunned.

"Did you see the teacher?" the child ghost immediately asked.

Luo Xi wasn't sure if the 'teacher' the other party was talking about was Teacher Liang at the dining table or someone else.

But what he was best at was lying.

So he nodded.

"I disappointed the teacher. I didn't do what he asked me to do, and now I've become like this, unable to even crawl." Zhang Hao seemed very sad; after all, he was just a child. As he spoke, he was about to cry.

"I'll take you to complete it." Luo Xi was completely gambling. He didn't know what Zhang Hao meant by 'what he asked me to do,' but he was sure that the 'teacher' Zhang Hao was talking about was definitely not the female ghost Teacher Liang.

Because someone who didn't even care much when a child was bullied couldn't possibly be someone this child would be so concerned about?

"Or, I can go tell him about your situation and have him come find you?" This was Luo Xi's real goal.

From the expression on Zhang Hao's face, it was clear that he was tempted.

"Then, that would be great. If you help me, I will repay you."

"Let's not talk about that for now. We just met on the road. Tell me where he lives, and I'll go find him now."

"Fifth floor, Rabbit Gate," Zhang Hao had just finished speaking when the piercing bell rang again.

Ring Ring Ring ~

Like a sudden storm.

"Please note, the night is over, entering daytime!"

"Please note, the night is over, entering daytime!"

"Please note, the night is over, entering daytime!"

Almost simultaneously, Zhang Hao's figure was rapidly dissipating, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Luo Xi knew that in this building, daytime and nighttime were like two completely identical but also very different dimensions overlapping each other. Ghosts only existed in the night, while the daytime, for now, seemed relatively safe.

He closed the wardrobe door.

Luo Xi went upstairs.

Yu Xiaoru ran out from behind a nearby cardboard box, her expression somewhat resentful.

"You just left a beauty like me behind?" She probably was scared, but Luo Xi could tell that this little girl was actually very brave. Her current state was just an act to gain sympathy.

He ignored her.

He walked over and opened the wardrobe door on the third floor.

Sure enough, Fatty Qian and Brother Mao were hiding inside.

"Brother Luo, is it daytime?" Fatty Qian poked his head out and looked around, discovering that those terrifying fierce ghosts had disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, they said a lot in the phone group, but I feel like there's something wrong with their messages." Fatty Qian immediately said. Before, he and Brother Mao had been hiding in the wardrobe, taking out their phones to look, and they found that many people were sending messages in the previously created group.

First, Lin Qiqi was asking what Luo Xi was doing and why he wasn't talking.

Wu Rui was also speaking.

Others, including Liang Qiu, said they had encountered terrifying fierce ghosts and lost a person.

He also said that if they encountered someone holding a black umbrella, they must run and not be caught.

Someone asked why, but Liang Qiu didn't say anything else.

Besides these, some people were asking for help, and some even sent some blurry photos.

"The strangest thing is Ke Lan. This guy sent the number 1, and he sent many of them in a row. I asked him if his phone was broken, but he didn't respond to me. Brother Luo, do you think Ke Lan is possessed by a ghost?" Fatty Qian asked.
