Day of Imprisonment

#200 - Ringing

The woman nodded when she heard Luo Xi's question.

“Come here!”

Luo Xi beckoned.

Kan Nan took a deep breath and walked forward. She almost brushed against the many fierce ghosts on both sides as she walked. Most women really couldn't do that.

Seeing her come over, Luo Xi stepped aside, reached out to open the door, and pushed the woman inside.

“Wait!” Luo Xi said, about to go in as well.

“Stop. You brought the person. Kill the rabbit.” A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the 'Lin Qiqi' outside. “This is what we agreed on. If you go back on your word, you will die miserably.”

“I need to confirm if this is the right person first. Wait!” Luo Xi opened the door and went inside.

Inside the room, Yu Xiaoru was already talking to the woman named Kan Nan. Seeing Luo Xi enter, she nodded.

Indicating that the person was correct.

“Can you do it?” Luo Xi asked.

“I'm not sure, but I will do my best.” Kan Nan didn't give a definite answer.

Cautious and steady, she was a reliable person.

“Thank you. Go to the room inside, and as soon as possible.” Luo Xi knew that hypnosis required an undisturbed environment, and things were bound to happen outside soon.

Although Mao Ge knew that Luo Xi was looking for a hypnotist, he really didn't know that it was for him.

So he was a little confused when he was pulled into the room.

“Mao Ge, go inside and chat with her for a while.” Luo Xi reassured him.

“Chat about what? I don't know her.” Mao Ge vaguely felt that something was wrong. He had actually felt that Luo Xi was hiding something from him for a while, but out of trust, he didn't ask. But now, being asked to be alone with an unknown woman, especially a hypnotist, he couldn't help but wonder.

“You have some memories that need to be temporarily suppressed. This is beneficial for you and for us. Only a hypnotist can do this.” Luo Xi didn't hide anything.

Mao Ge trusted him, and he wouldn't deceive him.

“Understood!” Mao Ge thought for a moment, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

Again, he had many shortcomings, which he was aware of. He was a bit slow and not very sharp. He wasn't good at running, strength, or fighting, but he trusted Luo Xi and knew his own limitations.

And trust was just one of Mao Ge's many virtues.

He was calm, didn't rush, provided a very real emotional value, and was a mature older brother in the team.

“I need ten minutes.” Kan Nan had already summoned her card book.

The hypnotist's card book was very dreamy.

The cover of the card book had rich lines, like some kind of plant. A perfect geometric triangle had an open eye in the middle.

“Be careful not to touch my Immortal Embryo.” Mao Daoren couldn't help but remind them when he saw the two entering the inner room.

Luo Xi looked at it.

The big rabbit immediately felt a chill descend and couldn't help but shiver.

“Those ghosts keep their word. I can't go back on mine. I have to skin you later, so bear with it.” Luo Xi walked over, continuing to apply maximum pressure. He wanted to see if he could pry more clues from Mao Daoren's mouth. Now was the best time to apply pressure.

“No, wait, don't kill me. I'll teach you magic, I'll teach you the way to become an immortal, I'll do whatever you want.” The big rabbit was terrified and begged for mercy.

Qian Pangzi looked around and began to whisper, “Luo Ju, if we really kill this rabbit, will the ghosts outside rush in all at once? Then…”

This kind of worry was obviously necessary.

Those fierce ghosts were single-mindedly trying to kill Mao Daoren, and there must be a reason.

“I feel that we should at least figure out the intentions of those fierce ghosts, otherwise we'll easily suffer losses. As for credibility, that doesn't matter. We just won't keep our word. Can they sue us?” Qian Pangzi, carrying Mao Daoren on his back, winked at Luo Xi secretly.

This fatty clearly wanted to cooperate with Luo Xi.

Luo Xi understood.

“No, a person cannot stand without credibility. We said we'd skin the rabbit, so we have to skin it. As for the intentions of the fierce ghosts, I can ask them. The main thing is that this rabbit is no longer valuable.”

While saying this, he took out skinning scissors and gestured.

Mao Daoren was so frightened that his eyes became much clearer. He hurriedly said, “I have value, don't kill me. I know why they want me dead. They also want that Immortal Embryo. If I die prematurely, the Immortal Embryo will be ownerless, and they will have the opportunity to take it over. I'm not lying to you. If I die, it won't do you any good. Then a Ghost King that no one can suppress will inevitably be born. That's a true Ghost Immortal. Tell me, how will you survive then?”

“Moreover, if I'm alive, if I'm here, I can deter those fierce ghosts. If I die, if I no longer exist, they will have no more fear. Most importantly, some terrifying fierce ghosts that I sealed in the building before will also break the seals and escape.”

At this point, Mao Daoren dared not hide anything and revealed the truth, no longer hiding anything.

Luo Xi smiled.

For him, the current situation was a hidden plot being triggered, and it had reached an important fork in the road, requiring a choice to be made.

To kill or not to kill.

The results of the two choices would inevitably be different.

But Luo Xi had actually made a decision long ago. Whether the fierce ghosts brought the hypnotist or not, it would not change the result he had already decided.

His initial goal was only one thing.

Find the hypnotist and suppress Mao Ge's forbidden memories.

Now that the goal was about to be achieved, the current balance could not be broken.

Therefore, as long as I hide here and don't go out, passing the next few days and nights is almost a certainty.

Since that's the case, why kill Mao Daoren and create trouble for myself?

So, Mao Daoren cannot die.

But he still needs to be warned.

"The rampant evil spirits outside are the result, and you are disrupting Yin and Yang, reversing Qian and Kun, and confusing the Four Symbols, this matter is caused by you, so you have to take responsibility for correcting this matter." Luo Xi hadn't finished speaking when the door suddenly exploded with a bang, as if it had been blown open by a cannon, shattering directly.

Splinters of wood flew everywhere.

Almost at the same time, an extremely powerful gust of Yin wind rushed in.

Like several mad bulls charging wildly, for a moment, talismans flew around the room, copper mirrors fell, and even the statue of the god on the platform fell to the ground.

Instantly, chaos reigned.

Luo Xi and the others were also staggered by this force. The next moment, the evil spirits invaded, and the lights in the house immediately went out. Just as Luo Xi was about to make a move, he felt a cold hand grip his neck.

Not only his neck, but other parts of his body were also grabbed by ghostly hands.

The ghostly hands were incredibly strong. If they pulled against each other and tore violently, a person would be dismembered into eight pieces, torn into minced meat.

At the critical moment, the card that Luo Xi had been holding in his hand materialized. The next moment, a burst of ringing sounds echoed.

【Soul-Seizing Bell】was rung.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

As soon as the bell rang, the ghostly hands that were grabbing Luo Xi retracted instantly, as if they had been electrocuted, and the coldness in the room also disappeared at once.

Looking again, the room was already a mess. Qian Pangzi was lying there moaning, his clothes torn, and his back covered in bloody claw marks; Yu Xiaoru was also covering her arm, her face pale.

It was clear that her right arm was fractured.

And Mao Daoren, the big rabbit, was gone.

He had been captured!

"Luo Ju, the ghosts outside don't keep their word, they attacked first," Qian Pangzi cursed, reacting at this moment.

Obviously, the many evil spirits outside had taken action first.

However, Luo Xi had doubts about this matter.

If those evil spirits could break through Mao Daoren's door, they wouldn't have waited until now. The ghostly hands that attacked them belonged to the evil spirit side, but the one who broke open the door was most likely someone else.

In Luo Xi's opinion, the door being broken open just now was more like the ability of some kind of card.

"Ke Lan mentioned a card called 【Door Breaker】 before. His description is very similar to the situation just now. Did a Memory Keeper help those ghosts break open the door? Who is it?" Luo Xi shook the bell, driving away the evil spirits, but also became entangled in some kind of curse because of using the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】.

This time, he felt an extremely cold thing crawling onto his skin.

He reached out and looked.

On his fingers, there seemed to be a kind of strange black writing, beginning to spread upwards, like black ants, crawling up his fingers, onto his palms, and up his arms.

Obviously, these black characters that looked like rapid tattoos were not good things.

However, apart from the coldness and some discomfort, there were no other sensations.

Now there was a sudden situation. Mao Daoren was captured by evil spirits, and it was likely to be a bad omen. And those evil spirits obviously wouldn't let them off in the house.

The attack just now was resolved by the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】, but the other side wouldn't give up so easily.

Sure enough, one terrifying evil spirit after another began to squeeze in through the door that had lost its talisman protection. Those crowded heads and limbs,狰狞 faces and vicious eyes, were filled with maddening resentment.

Without a doubt, these evil spirits had only one purpose.

To kill.

To kill everyone, leaving no one behind.

At the moment when those terrifying evil spirits rushed in, about to pounce, Luo Xi shook the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】 again.

Ding-ling-ling~

On the ancient copper bell, one could even see visible sound waves rippling out. Those rushing evil spirits screamed again and retreated like a receding tide, instantly retreating outside the door.

Correspondingly, Luo Xi was once again tainted with a curse.

His hair began to fall out.

Soon, all his hair fell out.

However, this kind of curse was the same as nothing to Luo Xi.

Hair loss?

This is called a curse?

He had repelled many evil spirits twice, but obviously, this wasn't a solution. There were still eight minutes until the day-night transition, and now, they probably couldn't even last two minutes.

The evil spirits charged again.

This time, Yu Xiaoru used a 【Exorcism】.

A dazzling light flashed, but it could only provide temporary safety.

"I only have one 【Exorcism】, other cards have no effect on ghosts," Yu Xiaoru said at this time, the pain of the fracture making her forehead covered with sweat.

Qian Pangzi was anxiously rummaging through his card book, but it was obvious that he didn't have any cards to deal with this kind of situation, and he seemed a little at a loss.

"Go inside," Luo Xi knew that they would inevitably collapse if this continued, so they could only hide in the room inside.

The three retreated in turn, but just as Luo Xi was about to enter, several ghostly hands suddenly stretched out from the shadows on the ground, grabbed his clothes, and dragged him out violently.

The force was so great that it was like being tied to the tow rope behind a car. Once the car started, the whole person was thrown over.

Luo Xi felt dizzy from the fall.

Fortunately, the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】 was still in his hand.

Just before the evil spirits swallowed him, he shook the copper bell in his hand violently.

The bell rang continuously, and the screams of the surrounding evil spirits also continued.

"You can withstand more, it can give you more!"

This sentence was the last introduction in the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】 card description.

If this copper bell is shaken continuously, it can not only repel evil, but also destroy them, but the price is also very high.

But at this moment, Luo Xi had no choice.

He shook the copper bell frantically, watching the terrifying humanoid evil spirits collapse and rot in the sound of the bell, the screams and howls, like dense thunder, echoing incessantly with the rapid ringing of the bell.

Until the unbearable pain overwhelmed him, and he could no longer see or hear those evil spirits and their screams, he stopped.
