Day of Imprisonment

【Soul Walker】

A powerful individual who survived one hundred and twenty-nine cycle days of the Imprisonment Day.

At this moment, his soul, or rather, his spiritual body, was being beaten to near fragmentation by Luo Xi, pressed against the ground.

The spirit, which can also be called the soul, is a very fragile thing. In many cases, it's not as elastic and resilient as the physical body. On the contrary, the souls and spirits of most people are more like porcelain, shattering when subjected to heavy blows.

And once the spirit and soul are shattered, it's very difficult to repair them.

He thought that he had breached the other party's spiritual world and could do whatever he wanted inside.

But reality educated him.

This was more like a self-righteous guy rushing into a cage holding a tiger, a self-service, precision feeding.

Next was Luo Xi asking, and the other party answering.

If he felt that they were lying or concealing something, he would directly inflict spiritual torture. This effect was even more effective than physical torture. If you torture a person's body, they might faint under the immense pain, which is a form of self-protection by the brain.

But here, that situation doesn't exist.

A master who is skilled at directly tormenting enemies on a spiritual and soul level is now having his own methods turned against him. He can only blame himself.

"So, you're really doing this to become immortals?"

"Yes, and no."

"Is it or isn't it?"

"Stop hitting me! I'm not lying. My profession card is 【Soul Walker】. Someone told me about the scenario settings here. That Mao Daoren's theory of becoming an immortal has some merit. And I can perform soul transfer, which means only I can attach myself to that ghost fetus and be reborn. If it succeeds, it will be beneficial to me no matter what. If there really is such a thing as becoming an immortal, then I can become an immortal and perhaps escape the Imprisonment Day, which is 'ascension,' and enter a higher dimension, perhaps escaping the sea of suffering. Even if it doesn't succeed, at least I can increase my strength. Even on the Imprisonment Day, I can become one of the top-tier Scavengers, so I won't lose out either way."

Soul-level torment and attacks left the other party with no will to resist.

He said everything he knew.

Extremely honest.

That was even more terrifying than the legendary hell.

"As far as I know, this scenario was just updated, and the elementary school student outside, as the administrator, couldn't have told outsiders about the scenario's mechanics and secrets. So, who exactly told you about the situation here?" Luo Xi wanted to know this even more.

"The source of the information was a member of the Eternal Assembly, but they charged an extremely high price. This transaction was a huge loss for me, so I had my people impersonate the Eternal Assembly, thinking that if word got out or other members of the Awakened Association found out, we could shift the blame to the Eternal Assembly."

"Shifting the blame? Aren't you afraid of their retaliation?"

"Retaliation against me? If I succeed, there are only two possibilities: either I become an immortal and escape the Imprisonment Day, leaving this endless cycle of hell; or my strength greatly increases, and I won't be afraid of the Eternal Assembly coming to find trouble. It's just that I didn't expect…"

"Didn't expect you to be unlucky and fail?"

The Soul Walker didn't say anything, but it was clear that Luo Xi had spoken his mind.

"I want to ask you a few more questions," Luo Xi said at this time.

"Ask away." The other party sighed. Things had come to this point, and he had no chance to turn the tables. He could only blame himself for being self-righteous and choosing the wrong opponent. Who would have thought he would encounter such a perverted lunatic, an existence whose mental power was even more terrifying than his, a Soul Walker.

If the other party possessed the 【Soul Walker】 ability, it was unimaginable how strong and terrifying they would be.

At this moment, he only felt fear and unease.

"What's the name of the Eternal Assembly member who sold you the information?" Luo Xi continued to ask.

"I only know his alias. He's called 【Paper Man】. Generally, high-level veterans are named after their profession cards, just like me…"

"【Paper Man】…" Luo Xi muttered, then asked about the other party's appearance, but the Soul Walker said, "【Paper Man】 doesn't have a fixed appearance. He never shows himself in his true form. What you see are all paper-made puppets. Earlier today, a paper man found me and made this deal with me."

"Since it was a deal, he gave you information about this scenario, so what did you give him?"

"He said that after I succeed, he will come to collect the reward."

Clearly, the Soul Walker's knowledge was also limited. The other party was more like a pawn being manipulated by that 【Paper Man】.

There's no such thing as doing good deeds without seeking reward. 【Paper Man】 must have had an ulterior motive in telling the Soul Walker about the information here. The Soul Walker was also well aware of this. They were just using each other.

"I even guessed that the other party might have also entered the scenario and was secretly plotting…" the Soul Walker added.

"Why do you think so? Did you find any clues?" Luo Xi asked curiously.

"It's the Gen trigram!"

"The Gen trigram?"

"Yes, we can't find any trace of the Gen trigram, and we've searched almost all of Area B, whether it's day, night, or the special dimension after becoming a scapegoat, but I found some traces that can roughly confirm that the Gen trigram was taken away."

"Are you trying to say that the 【Paper Man】 took it, right?" Luo Xi saw through the Soul Walker's intention at a glance.

He was still planning to shift the blame.

"Yes, but I'm not lying. You should be able to tell," the Soul Walker said through gritted teeth.

He was now using a blatant scheme.

Because what he said was indeed the truth. The Gen trigram really couldn't be found. Otherwise, they wouldn't have wasted so much time in this Area B.

He had even realized that the whole thing might be a conspiracy by the 【Paper Man】, but he didn't know the other party's purpose. He could only try his best to collect other trigrams, but Luo Xi intercepted him, and his efforts were in vain.

At this time, he naturally had to expose this matter.

The 【Paper Man】 was indeed very powerful, but the person in front of him was not easy to deal with either.

If the two of them fought because of this matter, the Soul Walker would be happy to see it, regardless of who won or lost in the end.

"The other party told you some secrets of this scenario, but secretly came to sabotage this plan. What do you think the other party's intention is?" Luo Xi looked at the Soul Walker.

"I don't know," the Soul Walker shook his head decisively. "The people of the Eternal Society are all lunatics. No one knows what they are thinking... Wait, you... Could it be that you are also..."

"I probably am not!" Luo Xi interrupted the other party's speculation.

Just as the other party was still considering whether to say 'yes' if it was yes, and 'no' if it was no, what did 'probably not' mean, the Soul Walker suddenly screamed, and then, with a look of horror and pain, his body dissipated and disintegrated, eventually shattering into fragments on the ground, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Xi also felt someone calling him.

In a daze, he felt a hand pulling him up, or being thrown up by a huge force. He instantly opened his eyes and saw Lin Qiqi's face only a few inches away from him.

"Awake?" Lin Qiqi obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

Her face was stained with some blood, and her complexion was pale, but her eyes were very clear, like a mirror-like lake on the plateau.

Luo Xi found that he was still sitting in the wheelchair, but An Zhiyan was moved aside, lying there whimpering with her eyes darting around.

The newest novels are at 69shu.com!

Around them, several corpses were lying.

On the opposite side, Ke Lan and another Memory Retriever were covering their heads, looking dizzy. Apart from broken arms, they were probably fine.

Behind them, a person was lying.

The Soul Walker.

A knife was inserted into the top of his head, and his death was miserable.

"You and that guy were motionless. I could see that his soul had invaded your body, so I decisively pierced his head. Now, you owe me a life," Lin Qiqi said weakly, but the smile on her face was bright.

After speaking, she shook a card ring in her hand.

A skull ring.

It was obviously taken from the 【Soul Walker】.

Taking the card ring and card before the Memory Retriever dies is equivalent to taking everything from the other party.

However, in the situation just now, she single-handedly killed the two enemies who came to sneak attack from behind, and also killed the Soul Walker. It was estimated that this process was not easy.

Ke Lan staggered over at this time.

"That guy was so powerful that he could actually perform soul invasion. My head is killing me right now, ugh~"

After speaking, a disgusting feeling impacted his senses, and he immediately ran to the side to vomit.

However, after vomiting for a while, he felt much better.

From the 【Soul Walker】's card ring, he found the card rings of Ke Lan and another Memory Retriever, returning them to their original owners.

Ke Lan then led Luo Xi down a floor and found something in a certain room.

The corpse of a large rabbit.

Mao Daoren.

He was obviously killed long ago.

In addition, there was also a vertically hanging black flag in that room.

A Soul Banner!

Another important tool for the so-called 'becoming an immortal'.

Obviously, the 'Soul Walker' had already found this tool, and they were the ones who had been hiding among the ghosts and broke down the door to sneak attack earlier.

At that time, Luo Xi used the 【Soul-Seizing Bell】, risking killing a thousand enemies while harming himself eight hundred, to kill most of the scapegoats. Otherwise, Luo Xi would have already reported to the next cycle day.

"Next, as long as we find the Gen trigram, we can perfectly clear the level," Lin Qiqi said.

Luo Xi shook his head: "The Gen trigram probably can't be found."

He asked Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan to establish a soul link to ask the latter if she had heard any other movements.

"No, since just now, this area has been very quiet, without any strange movements."

At this time, the bell rang, and the time changed from day to night.

"Let's go find Fatty Qian and Brother Mao first."

Luo Xi would not stop because he hadn't figured out some things. His plan still had to be carried out, which was to find Fatty Qian and the others to ensure that they could switch identities.

When they arrived at the 5th floor of Area A, Mao Daoren's original house had been destroyed beyond recognition, and even the hidden secret room inside was not spared.

The big-bellied female corpse was gone.

Only blood was left on the ground, and a lot of soil.

However, under An Zhiyan's guidance, Luo Xi and the others found Fatty Qian and the others hidden in another room.

Including Brother Mao, Yu Xiaoru, hypnotist Kan Nan, and Zhang Ming were all safe and sound.

Luo Xi and the others also took this opportunity to switch back to the identity of 'living people'.

"What happened later? Where is that female corpse?" Luo Xi asked.
