Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi also took out his phone to check the chat history in the group.

"Right? I didn't say anything wrong. Ke Lan definitely has a problem. Also, that kid Guo Zening is also acting strange. Look at what he sent, saying he got separated from the others and asking us to hurry and save him. Isn't he with Ke Lan and Wu Rui? Wait a minute, if Ke Lan has a problem, then he definitely wouldn't say Guo Zening is lost, but why don't Wu Rui and the others mention it either?"

Fatty Qian looked completely puzzled.

The chat content in the group was chaotic, with some messages being completely disjointed.

Just then, a group member named 'Ming Ming' sent a message.

"Be careful, there's a ghost in the group!"

It was a new message, with only that one line.

Someone asked what it meant, but the other party didn't continue to speak.

"Fatty, stop looking at your phone. There really is a ghost in there," Luo Xi said at this moment.

For him, the other group members were actually just pawns for him to test the scenario.

Encountering the current situation hadn't deviated from Luo Xi's predictions.

"A ghost in the phone?" Fatty Qian was stunned for a moment, then he reacted: "You mean I understand, I understand!"

Only then did Fatty Qian notice Yu Xiaoru next to Luo Xi.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Isn't this the beautiful Yu Xiao? Long time no see! Why are you alone? Where's the beautiful An? Oh right, and that aunt of yours-"

"It's Aunt Qin, but she's dead. If you want to see her, you'll have to wait for the next cycle day," Yu Xiaoru said indifferently.

Luo Xi looked at her: "What did you encounter after you came in? Why didn't you try to leave?"

"Leave? Don't even mention whether it's possible. Even if it were, we didn't have that intention at the time. Oh, right, there's one thing I want to remind you. I guess you've already noticed it. In this building, some ghosts can silently replace some of us without being noticed at all," Yu Xiaoru reminded him.

"Oh, Luo-ge already figured that out, so he separated the people who might be problematic. The ones who are left are all trustworthy," Fatty Qian said smugly, showing off a little.

"What will these ghosts do later? Also, where do the replaced people go? I guess it's not death," Luo Xi said at this moment.

Yu Xiaoru nodded: "You guessed right, but it's not hard to guess, because that kind of replacement is too unbelievable, almost imperceptible. So, correspondingly, the replaced person won't die, because if they die, the mechanism itself would be problematic. We all know that the instance scenario won't completely block all paths to survival, there will always be one left."

Luo Xi smiled: "Could you be one of the people who was replaced?"

Yu Xiaoru blushed instantly.

"You even saw that?"

"You said it yourself, because I'm guessing, I'm speculating, but your tone is stating a definite conclusion, which means you can confirm this matter. So, the possibility of you being the replaced person is the highest. Otherwise, how would you know?"

"Right, right, right, you're right. I didn't know what was going on at the time. I just felt a daze, and then I was in another place. Guess where I went?" Yu Xiaoru said provocatively, implying that if you can guess, I'll kowtow to you.

"A room in the building?" Luo Xi asked.

"." Yu Xiaoru stared wide-eyed: "Have you been here before?"

"No, this is my first time. So, you might have another identity, which is why Sun Guoguo thinks you're her mother. Then, the ghost that replaced you is likely Sun Guoguo's mother!"

"Uh? That, that's really possible." Yu Xiaoru recalled, then suddenly realized, probably connecting some of the things she had encountered before.

Luo Xi was able to make this judgment not only because of his observation and analysis, but also because of a piece of paper that someone secretly gave him at the beginning, which read 'Be careful, ghost, identity, hide-and-seek'.

The word 'identity' happened to confirm Yu Xiaoru's experience.

Here, 'identity' can be temporarily replaced.

It's just that I don't know what the replacement mechanism is.

It may be touching certain specific items, or being secretly marked by certain ghosts, or it may be a simple 'roll call mechanism', without any preset conditions. Whoever is called is purely because of bad luck.

It's not impossible, on the contrary, Luo Xi thinks it's very likely.

Because only if this possibility holds true can it explain the actual situation that so many Memory Retrievers came in before, but no one could get out.

No matter how much experience or ability they have, they will be replaced under the influence of the forced 'roll call mechanism'.

"If this roll call mechanism is in the 'night', then every night, several spots will be generated, until everyone has been rolled once. In this way, even Fatty Qian and Brother Mao may be replaced."

Luo Xi looked up at the two of them at this moment.

He couldn't see any problems at first glance.

But just because he couldn't see it for the time being doesn't mean there were no problems.

But the problem is, if the replacer and the replaced look the same, and even have the same memories, unless there were things like scars, birthmarks, or tattoos on the body that could be used to distinguish them, what else could be used to distinguish them?

It might even lead to elimination due to exceeding the time limit.

"Wait a minute, timed hide-and-seek... This seems to be another form of 'hide-and-seek'. What happens if the replaced person finds the replacer? If we follow the rules of hide-and-seek, will they exchange identities? Could it be that the hint on the note that person gave me, the so-called 'hide-and-seek', actually refers to this?"

"In other words, if you are replaced, the replaced person needs to find the other version of themselves as soon as possible, so that they can switch their identities back!"

Luo Xi finally understood the true meaning of 'hide-and-seek' here.

At the same time, it proves another thing: the Yu Xiaoru in front of him is real.

Because if we assume she is an 'imposter', then she has absolutely no need to tell herself the sentence 'Some ghosts in the building can replace us'.

Saying this sentence is of no benefit to her. On the contrary, it will increase my suspicion of her.

"Also, the replaced person is the same as the hide-and-seek rules played by children, because after being replaced, the ghosts here can't distinguish them either. The best evidence is when Sun Guoguo previously mistook Yu Xiaoru for her mother."

These clues are now linked together by Luo Xi.

"Every word on the note is important."

"Careful, ghosts, identity, hide-and-seek..."

"Among these four words, the last three almost all point to the same thing, which happens to indicate that the first 'careful' also refers to the same as the other three, indicating that there will definitely be danger if the replacement is overtime, so it reminds you to be careful."

These thoughts flashed through Luo Xi's mind.

"I have to hurry!"

Luo Xi immediately walked upstairs.

If, as he speculated, being replaced by a ghost is a 'roll call mechanism', then no matter who it is, they will inevitably be called, whether it's bad luck and you're called in the first round, or good luck and you're called in the last round.

The latest novels are available at 69shu.com!

But in reality, whether luck is good or bad cannot be defined in this way, because if Luo Xi is called in the first round, then he can understand the rules of this matter as soon as possible, but if he is called in the last round, and at the same time, he does not receive any prior prompts and clues, it may be too late when he reacts.

Currently, Yu Xiaoru doesn't know the whereabouts of the 'hypnotist', and can't find anyone else for the time being. This direction has reached a stalemate, so let's find another way.

That is, to figure out the rules of this level scene.

The more, the better.

Only in this way can we understand all the mechanisms.

Luo Xi is going to the fifth floor to find the 'Mao Gate' that the child ghost Zhang Hao said.

However, although he was in a hurry, Luo Xi did not forget to observe the situation on each floor.

For example, the graffiti on the walls, and even some posted small advertisements, are also within his observation range.

Memory, comparison, is like a computer with super high computing power, constantly analyzing.

As a result, Luo Xi had no time to speak. At this moment, he was particularly silent, with no expression on his face. Except for a pair of bright and deep eyes, the whole person looked like a piece of ice.

With his aura, Yu Xiaoru didn't dare to say anything, Qian Pangzi also remained silent, and Mao Ge was a man of few words in the first place.

The four of them went up to the fifth floor.

Luo Xi started looking at each household one by one.

Zhang Hao said that 'Mao Gate' is a kind of sign, because most of the house numbers in this broken place have fallen off, so that thing is equivalent to nothing. You can only pass some other characteristics, just like the Worry-Free Small Dining Table before, which had a sign on the door, which was very eye-catching.

There is also here.

Luo Xi saw a sign saying 'Haircut 10 Yuan'.

But after searching around, I couldn't find any portals with the word 'Mao' written on them.

"Mao is a rabbit, look for the rabbit logo!"

Luo Xi continued to look.

Still nothing.

However, he finally found it, but not based on the word and the rabbit pattern.

But the material of the door.

Almost all of this floor is iron security doors, only one household is a wooden door.

And 'Mao', the attribute is 'wood'.

"It's that simple!" Luo Xi himself felt a little unbelievable. It was also because the person who said 'Mao Gate' was a child. If it was an old man or something, Luo Xi might have thought of the five elements attributes long ago.

Knock on the door.

At the same time, Luo Xi turned to look at Qian Pangzi.

He suddenly thought of something.

Can a fierce ghost impersonator use card rings and card books?

In theory, it is not possible.

That thing belongs to the power of cards. A fierce ghost can disguise its appearance and read memories, but it should not be possible to copy the abilities of card rings and card books.

So, this should be one of the ways to distinguish whether it is an imposter.

The reason I thought of this is because if the door cannot be pried open later, I have to ask Qian Pangzi if he has a [Lock Picking] card.

But the next moment, the wooden door opened.

The room was quite bright, and a smell of incense wafted out. At the same time, a white rabbit wearing a Taoist robe appeared.

Luo Xi thought he was seeing things.

The first reaction was, has this rabbit become a精(Jing: spirit/essence)? How can it be so big?

It is estimated to be 1.4 meters tall, completely a bipedal white rabbit, wearing a Taoist robe and wearing glasses that look like severe nearsightedness. At this moment, he is tilting his head and looking at Luo Xi as well.
