Day of Imprisonment

Accompanying the broadcast, the outside environment visibly changed.

Fatty Qian leaned over and whispered, "Hey, logically, you shouldn't be able to see ghosts during the day, so why are those who have been replaced able to move around?"

"Because their identity is no longer that of a ghost, but a human."

"But how do you explain the big-bellied ghost in the house? We saw it just now in broad daylight!"

"Idiot, that's because of Daoist Mao's talisman magic," Daoist Mao interjected.

Fatty Qian slapped him on the head: "You're the idiot, get it straight, we're the ones helping you now, why are you acting tough? What makes you think you can?"

Daoist Mao immediately quieted down.

He probably realized that Fatty Qian was a reckless hothead, and if he continued to argue, this guy might do something outrageous.

But at that moment, Fatty Qian suddenly realized something and turned to look at Yu Xiaoru.

"Hey, wait a minute, something's not right. Luo Ju, wasn't Yu girl replaced? So her current identity is that of a 'ghost,' so why can she appear during the day and not disappear? She didn't have this rabbit's talisman before."

Hearing this, Brother Mao also became nervous.

He was closest to Yu Xiaoru, and he shuddered, instinctively turning his head to look, his body stiffening, unsure whether to run or not.

"So, after being replaced by a ghost, you can only appear at night? No wonder I always felt something was wrong. During the daytime, you can't see a single person in the entire building, and it's all foggy," Yu Xiaoru said.

"No, that rule does hold up," Luo Xi corrected, "The fact that we, including Ke Lan's group, haven't encountered other replaced companions proves this. Also, the Memory Retrievers who entered the scene before probably didn't realize the rule of being replaced during roll call, so they all fell for it. Even if they realized it, it was too late to react. And if they could appear during the day, the scene wouldn't be so silent. And when night falls, the situation of a hundred ghosts walking at night is very dangerous, so they can only hide and dare not mess around, which is why we can't find them. In addition, ghosts can not only kill people, but also kill ghosts, so we can't rule out the possibility that some of them have already died."

Speaking of this, Luo Xi looked at Daoist Mao.

"Daoist, am I right?"

"Uh, I'm not too sure," Daoist Mao's eyes darted around, not daring to meet Luo Xi's gaze.

"Don't deny it. I know that you not only know, but also understand the rules very well. Don't forget, you just said that those substitute ghosts could help us find them all, and that you could bring back the people who were replaced by ghosts!"

"Heh, did I say that?" Daoist Mao's eyes showed cunning, and he simply denied it.

He probably still wanted to use this as a bargaining chip.

"Do you know why I don't want to hear you say it?" Luo Xi walked over and looked at Daoist Mao up close. As a result, the rabbit's short tail trembled: "Because even if you don't say it, I'll know."

"This person is more terrifying than a ghost," this was what Daoist Mao thought at that moment.

Luo Xi then walked to Yu Xiaoru.

The latter was extremely nervous for some reason, looking at Luo Xi with a pretty face.

She believed that as long as Luo Xi gave an order, Fatty Qian and Brother Mao next to her could immediately turn against her and kill her.

"I've already talked about the random roll call rule for transforming into a ghost. Because this mechanism is unsolvable, you won't die after becoming a ghost, you'll just bear the identity of a 'ghost.' At the same time, you'll also passively follow the scene's restrictions on 'ghosts,' that is, you can only appear at night, and you can't see them during the day. This explains why we couldn't find those who entered the scene before during the day."

"And at night, when ghosts appear, it's also difficult to find them because of the special environment, which is chaotic and dangerous. In addition, only the 'ghosts' that replaced them appear during the day, but these ghosts act cautiously, sometimes deliberately hiding from other people, perhaps looking for an opportunity. Perhaps before, the ghost that replaced Yu Xiaoru was also active in a certain area, but we just didn't know it."

"As for this Yu Xiaoru, she actually hadn't appeared during the day before she met me."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoru hurriedly nodded: "Yes, that's true. During the daytime before this, I felt like I was in a building shrouded in a thick fog, with almost no one around. Even if I occasionally heard some noise, I didn't dare to go over. How should I put it, that place was too terrifying, even more terrifying than a hundred ghosts coming out at night."

"Luo Ju, I don't understand, why can Yu girl appear during the day this time?" Fatty Qian couldn't help but ask.

"I said, because she met me, or rather, she met a living person during the nighttime who could 'prove' that she was Yu Xiaoru. This should be one of the ways that those replaced by ghosts in the scene can 'change back,' just like being replaced by a ghost without any symptoms."

“I understand!” Fatty Qian suddenly realized, “Black Night, that little ghost treated Yu Xiaoru as her mother, happened to pull her to the small dining table, and happened to meet you. And you proved that she was Yu Xiaoru, so the identities were switched back. But her clothes and phone didn't come back.”

“That's because the ghost that replaced her is still there. If she can kill that ghost and clear the level, the lost things will come back. At the same time, she should be able to get a higher level of reward. Although these are all guesses, the possibility is very high.” Luo Xi's guesses are all based on valid evidence chains.

So it's very convincing.

Yu Xiaoru, Mao Ge, and Fatty Qian, at this moment, finally understood and figured out the mechanism of 'identity replacement' in this scenario.

“Damn, the administrator of this scenario didn't say anything before we came in. We have to figure it out ourselves. This is too difficult. Every step is dangerous. One wrong step and it's over.” Fatty Qian muttered, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

“So, that guy didn't ask for our tickets.” Luo Xi didn't care about this matter.

The preset rules for each level scenario are different.

Although some general rules can be referenced, you absolutely cannot directly apply one scenario to another.

Doing so will only be detrimental to yourself.

“Also, even if those ghosts replace someone, they cannot use the card册, so you can use this to judge authenticity.” After Luo Xi finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Mao Daoren. This big rabbit looked shocked, with an expression like he had swallowed a fly, disbelief mixed with annoyance.

The other party must know this rule, but it didn't use this as a bargaining chip to gain any benefits.

Just then, a copper bell hanging on the door of Mao Daoren suddenly rang.

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

As if pulled by an invisible thread, it swayed from side to side at this moment.

“Something wants to break in. You guys quickly let me go. Only I can control the formations in the house. If it's too late, don't regret it.” Mao Daoren shouted.

It shouldn't be lying.

From the gaps in the windows sealed by wooden boards and railings, you can see many figures moving outside, but all are silent. You can only tell the severity of the situation outside from the frantically swaying copper bell.

However, Luo Xi wouldn't let it go.

He walked to the door, opened it, walked out, and then casually closed the door.

The newest ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

The actions were done in one go.

“Madman, he's purely a madman. He's a madman, didn't you see?!” Mao Daoren jumped up anxiously. At the moment the door opened, everyone in the house could see the door full of ghosts.

The number was extremely large.

How dare he go out in this situation? If he's not crazy, what is he?

“Shut your mouth. I'll slap you to death if you keep yelling.” Fatty Qian came over and scolded, “No matter what Luo Ju does, I will support him one hundred percent, and without reservation.”

Outside the door, Luo Xi, alone, looked at the few familiar faces at the door, and the more unfamiliar and terrifying ghosts. At this moment, he was like attending a meeting alone.

But he didn't have a knife in his hand, only a card.

[Soul-Seizing Bell].

This thing is engraved with the Six-Syllable Mantra. When shaken, evil spirits and evil spirits will retreat. Dense shaking can kill evil spirits. It is an advanced magic weapon. Of course, each use will be contaminated with a 'curse'.

But the flaws do not detract from the jade. At critical times, it must be used.

Hesitation will only lead to failure.

The brave wins when enemies meet on a narrow road!

“Brought the person?” Luo Xi glanced around. He saw Lin Qiqi, saw Wu Rui, saw Guo Zening, and saw An Zhiyan. He also saw the other few Scavengers who had followed Liang Qiu before. There were quite a few.

But now, they have all been replaced by ghosts, imposters.

Behind these people, there are many unfamiliar faces, but without exception, they are all people replaced by ghosts. The number is no less than fifteen or sixteen. They should be the Scavengers who entered the scenario before.

These 'imposters' crowded the corridor in front of the door, each with a gloomy face and full of malice.

“Luo Xi, just like the description in these people's memories, you are indeed a very strange person.” The 'ghost' playing An Zhiyan said at this time, her tone full of danger, her eyes staring unblinkingly at Luo Xi.

“Thank you for your comment, but I don't need it. I'll ask one last time, did you bring the person?” Luo Xi obviously knew how to negotiate, especially in this situation.

These ghosts have their advantages.

That is their understanding of the entire building, and also, they have a division of power.

Roughly, it can be judged as: obsession ghosts with low degree of freedom and muddleheadedness, and cunning smart ghosts with high degree of freedom.

The so-called 'scapegoat' also belongs to the latter.

Then, to find someone in this 'Haunted Building', relying on yourself or the power of living people is obviously not as good as letting these ghosts find them.

The efficiency must be the highest.

Sure enough, in the back, a tall 'imposter' wearing something like a black curtain smiled sinisterly and lifted up its clothes.

The body of this ghost is almost empty, like a large wardrobe, and inside there is a woman.

The other party is very scared.

But she still gritted her teeth and persisted. There are some injuries on her body, but they don't seem to be a problem.

Luo Xi looked at her, and she was also looking at Luo Xi.

This woman also wears a card ring on her finger, with a simple style.

“Hypnotist, Kan Nan?”
