Day of Imprisonment

#206 - Let's make a deal

The Mist-Wreathed Sky Demon was shot down.

“I told you, as long as you give me the location, I can definitely hit it.”

At this moment, Lin Qiqi's expression and the way she held the bow, coupled with her short hair, it has to be said, was really cool.

The Sky Demon was very ugly.

After falling to the ground, it looked like a mass of flesh, like a disc, with eyes in all directions and several tentacles.

“This thing looks like a jellyfish!” Lin Qiqi observed for a while and said.

Without the soul link, An Zhiyan could only continue to 'woo woo woo'.

Luo Xi, on the other hand, looked at the arrow stuck in the Mist-Wreathed Sky Demon's body.

It could be said that the shot was very accurate. Lin Qiqi wasn't kidding when she said she had practiced.

If this thing could be cardified and taken away, it would definitely be of great use.

But unfortunately, the idea was good, but reality wasn't so good.

This thing couldn't be cardified.

Lin Qiqi was still searching.

“Found it!” At this moment, she dug out something from a sac wrapped in flesh and blood, wiped off the blood on it with her hand, and handed it to Luo Xi.

It was another trigram iron plate.

Kan Trigram ‘坎’.

“This thing was indeed on the Sky Demon.”

“In that case, we have three trigrams in our hands: Dui, Qian, and Kan.” Luo Xi substituted the current situation into his previous deduction of the entire scene: “The Zhen trigram in the east hasn't been disturbed. If we also exclude the Xun, Li, and Kun trigrams that don't have buildings to rely on, then there's only one Gen trigram left. The direction is northeast, which should be in area B of the building.”

Lin Qiqi looked at Luo Xi at this time: “It seems you know more than I do. That's good, it saves me trouble. To be honest, I only vaguely know that this place is related to the trigrams, but I'm really not sure about the specifics.”

“That's because you haven't met that big rabbit.” Luo Xi smiled.

Lin Qiqi had already helped a lot.

Without her this time, getting the Kan trigram would have been extremely difficult. Moreover, there might not have been time to find a bow and arrow. Even if they had found one, Luo Xi felt that he wouldn't have been able to shoot down that Mist-Wreathed Sky Demon in his current state.

“I also know very little. So, Luo Xi, what are you planning to do next?” Lin Qiqi looked around at this time: “The only threat here before was the Sky Demon. Now that it has been shot down, this place should be safe for the time being. If you want to be safer, you can hide here.”

Luo Xi shook his head. Lin Qiqi hadn't figured out the drawbacks of the 'Ghost' identity.

After he explained the 'Roll Call Mechanism' and the rules of the 'Ghost' identity clearly, Lin Qiqi also shook her head helplessly.

“So, if you want to clear the level, you must get rid of the 'Ghost' identity. But there is a possibility that only one person enters the scene, or all teammates are replaced. Then, how should the identity be switched? Wouldn't that be unsolvable?”

Lin Qiqi asked.

“The scene is very large, just like the cartoon walkie-talkie in your hand. The opportunity to switch identities may be hidden somewhere in the scene.” Luo Xi thought for a while, and then said: “It's unlikely that we will trigger all the plots in the scene. For example, there are more than 600 residents here, each of whom may have some unique plot settings, including each and every fierce ghost. Some are interconnected, and some are relatively independent. In short, there are many ways to clear the level, but knowing one and firmly following it is enough.”

“I understand, so your next plan is to switch your identity back?”

“Yes, but switching identities has another purpose, which is to destroy the wrong trigrams in the daytime with the identity of a 'living person', because if you do this at night, the danger will increase exponentially. Whether they are real or fake trigrams, each corresponds to a fierce ghost. Taking action during the day is equivalent to avoiding this level of risk.”

“And we must also ensure the safety of the person who switches our identities. When the collected trigrams are put back into the corresponding areas, if the Gen trigram in the northeast direction hasn't been disturbed, we are equivalent to correcting all the trigrams. If the Gen trigram is also disturbed, go to area B to investigate and correct the Gen trigram. According to my analysis, if the disturbed trigrams are corrected within the seven day-night cycles, it should be possible to achieve an elite-level clearance of this scene, which is a 'perfect' clearance.”

“OK, I'll listen to you.” Lin Qiqi nodded.

Luo Xi's plan was very reasonable and comprehensive, and he had considered all aspects. In fact, Lin Qiqi herself also had a clearance plan, but it was not as good as Luo Xi's.

Next, she carried Luo Xi and An Zhiyan down from the roof separately.

At this time, the fog had begun to gradually dissipate, and the visibility was much better than before. Distant objects, including the outlines of some buildings, could be seen standing by the fence.

An Zhiyan was like a human-shaped radar, and was the most useful of the three of them.

Along the way, if there was a situation, she could detect it at the first moment.

Currently, in this 'Scapegoat' dimension, there are at least the Zhong Kui shrine corresponding to the Dui trigram, the Mist-Wreathed Sky Demon of the Kan trigram, and the Drum-Beating Ghost with the Qian trigram. The first two have been subdued. Although the remaining one is still wandering in this dimension, with An Zhiyan present, it is not difficult to avoid it.

On the way, Luo Xi asked Lin Qiqi if she had met anyone else.

For example, Wu Rui, Ke Lan, and Guo Zening.

Just then, she suddenly remembered something and said, "I've seen those people you mentioned before. Their strength... Ha, some words might sound unpleasant, but I still have to say them."

"I know what you're going to say." Luo Xi waved her hand: "The people from the Eternal Society are entering, so if those few are unlucky enough to encounter them, it will be difficult for them to survive in the hands of those crazy advanced veterans. They might even have their card rings snatched away and then be tortured to death. I've considered this."

"As far as I'm concerned, I can accept any outcome. Even if it really happens, I won't be surprised. Relatively speaking, I'm more curious about another matter. Speaking of which, this scenario is very special. Logically speaking, a temporarily revised scenario is like a 'new product' in a cake shop. Before actually tasting it, no one knows what it tastes like. In other words, apart from the designer, no one knows the situation inside this scenario, including the rules, rewards, and plot points. But the people from the Eternal Society entered the scenario almost at the same time as us, and they clearly have a very specific purpose. They seem to know some inside information about the scenario. How did they know? Also, what exactly do they want to do?"

"I'm curious about this matter too," Lin Qiqi nodded.

She and Luo Xi were both the kind of people with a strong sense of curiosity.

In the next moment, she realized something.

"So, you want to figure out this matter?"

Luo Xi didn't answer, but Lin Qiqi already knew the answer she wanted.

With Lin Qiqi's help, Luo Xi and the others moved much faster than before. This woman pushed the wheelchair as if it were a roller coaster. Luo Xi was okay, but An Zhiyan kept whimpering.

They sped along the way.

"We're in Zone B," Lin Qiqi said with certainty, looking around at this time.

Obviously, she had wandered around in the 'Scapegoat' dimension before and should have made exclusive marks in different areas, which allowed her to recognize it at a glance.

"Woo woo woo woo!" An Zhiyan widened her eyes at this time, trying hard to make a sound.

"You heard some kind of movement, is it approaching?" Luo Xi looked at her, grabbing An Zhiyan with one hand while reaching for Lin Qiqi with the other.

The soul link was established.

The newest and most complete novels are at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Downstairs, fifteen meters straight ahead, there are other Memory Retrievers, six people," An Zhiyan said concisely: "Also, it's best to maintain this soul communication all the time. It's very tiring for me to just 'woo woo'."

Obviously, she had an opinion about only being allowed to 'woo woo' before.

"They've also discovered us." Immediately after, An Zhiyan transmitted new information.

Luo Xi glanced at Lin Qiqi, who understood.

Take out weapons, prepare for battle.

"Someone is coming up."

An Zhiyan was like a weather forecaster.

"How many people?"

"One."

At the front of the stairway, a figure quickly walked over.

However, after seeing clearly, Luo Xi frowned.

There was some surprise.

Because the person who came up was actually Ke Lan.

However, the latter was clearly controlled by some kind of force, his movements were stiff, and his expression was filled with anger and helplessness.

"Luo Xi, I'm sorry, I'm dragging you down," Ke Lan looked at Luo Xi and said.

Obviously, the person controlling Ke Lan could only control his body, but Ke Lan could still autonomously control what he wanted to say.

It was just that from the outside, one couldn't see any problems.

Ke Lan didn't have any talismans on him, nor any other obviously abnormal items or props. It was impossible to know the control principle, so there was no way to destroy it.

"They want to make a deal with you," Ke Lan said at this time, then whispered: "Ignore me, kill them, strike first."

In the next moment, with a crack, one of Ke Lan's arms was directly broken.

It was as if there were a pair of invisible hands that forcibly broke his arm.

Ke Lan groaned, and cold sweat immediately appeared on his face. The pain made his features somewhat distorted, but he was really tough and didn't utter a scream.

Luo Xi on the opposite side was expressionless.

"Just do as they say, don't act on your own. Alright, what kind of deal do they want to make?" Luo Xi said, while using soul communication to say to An Zhiyan and Lin Qiqi: "Listen to their movements, also, prepare to attack."

"They've split up, two have gone around to the stairs in the back, but it will take a little time for them to come up. The other three are standing still," An Zhiyan immediately revealed what she heard.

At this time, she would not express any subjective opinions.

She was a smart person. Giving random suggestions at this critical moment would not benefit herself or the team.

"Since they've divided their forces, it's best for us to take the initiative to attack now, catching them off guard," Lin Qiqi's idea was good, in line with Luo Xi's response strategy, but the situation was relatively special now. If all three people could move normally, then there would be no problem with this plan.

But the problem was that Luo Xi and An Zhiyan were now one disabled and one paralyzed, leaving only one combat force, Lin Qiqi. If she went to raid, then it would be difficult for the remaining two to resist the enemy's raid.

"Wait a moment," Luo Xi stopped Lin Qiqi.

Then, she shouted loudly in the direction of Ke Lan: "What kind of deal do you want to make, tell me, I will agree."

"Someone else is coming up," An Zhiyan transmitted: "This time, the three below are coming up together."

At this moment, Luo Xi could even hear the sound of footsteps coming from the stairway over there.

"If a fight breaks out later, don't worry about us," Luo Xi also transmitted to Lin Qiqi at this time.

"I have my own sense of proportion!" Lin Qiqi smiled, with a hint of ferocity in her arrogant eyes.
