Day of Imprisonment

Okra knew she had failed the challenge.

But she was not convinced.

Afterward, she immediately found Luo Xi and questioned him with a slightly accusatory tone.

"Has anyone cleared it?"

"No."

"Then what's the point of you doing this? To mock us? Or perhaps, even you yourself haven't truly cleared that scene."

Okra bluntly said what she wanted to say.

She believed that Luo Xi was creating a false personal hero image through this method, thereby subtly forming an almost superstitious personal worship of him among others.

"Is that what you think?" Luo Xi was not angry at being questioned, but instead asked with a calm expression.

"Perhaps, that's the truth."

Okra was also tit-for-tat at this moment; she didn't want to endure it anymore.

Admittedly, she knew Luo Xi was extremely capable, but perhaps he was relying on this method to create a 'savior' image, deceiving Reclaimers like Lü Ting to work for him.

Because until now, Luo Xi hadn't explained his 'plan' in detail.

How to break the Day of Imprisonment.

He was just constantly issuing orders, doing things that seemed very strange to Okra, and, possibly, without any meaning at all.

Like a large-scale scam.

Of course, the main reason why Okra still felt distrustful of Luo Xi was that she had discovered a secret in the previous few cycle days.

A certain card used by Luo Xi.

Okra possessed the unique ability of [Shadow], which allowed her to obtain the 'vision' and 'hearing' of shadows within a certain range and time, which was the main ability to monitor others through shadows.

The other party just thought for a moment, and then said, "Come with me."

"I'm very much looking forward to how you will explain this matter." Okra was not afraid at all; she had already secretly controlled Luo Xi's shadow, so even if the other party wanted to take her to some deserted corner, wanting to do something, the other party would not succeed.

As a result, Luo Xi took her to the entrance of the 'Beginning and End' checkpoint scene.

"What is he planning to do? Take me to clear it together?" Okra thought.

At this time, Luo Xi opened his mouth and said, "In terms of difficulty, this is the most difficult one among all the checkpoint scenes so far, possessing all four attributes, each of which is the highest difficulty. In fact, I do know that none of you should be able to clear this scene at this stage, so this scene is the best touchstone. I do need to use this scene to check and evaluate everyone's abilities and methods, and then place them in the most suitable positions."

"Some things, I don't want to explain too much. The matter of breaking the Day of Imprisonment is originally a two-way pursuit between me and other companions. We are partners walking together under the same thoughts and goals, not a mob forcibly pieced together by my [Lie], so I will answer you one question, that is, whether I can clear this scene. As for whether you are willing to continue following us, continue to execute the plan, I will not force these things."

Okra understood this.

That is, the other party will only prove the truth of clearing the 'Beginning and End' scene; as for the others, the other party is too lazy to explain. To put it more bluntly, when the time comes, if you want to stay, stay; if you want to leave, no one will stop you.

"Give me your hand!" Luo Xi reached out, and Okra was stunned. The former said, "This door will separate all individual challengers. Only by holding hands and entering together can we be assigned to the same place."

Okra understood and then reached out to grab Luo Xi's hand.

The two walked into the door frame.

Sure enough, the two of them entered the first-floor lobby of the building together.

Okra didn't say a word at this time, with an expression of 'I'm watching how you clear it'.

The first floor was the same as when she came in the last cycle day. Normally, there was no upward passage at all. Only by breaking the glass and using the terrifying flesh and blood outside could it be possible to climb to the second floor.

Here, it was like a complex maze. Each floor upward required thinking, and each floor upward was like a separate scene.

So, this was called the most difficult checkpoint scene.

When she saw Luo Xi breaking the glass window, Okra looked disdainful.

"Isn't it the same method? I had already reached the fifteenth floor before. What he used was just the same method as me." Okra followed, but the next moment, she was stunned.

Because after breaking the glass, Luo Xi didn't climb upward from the flesh and blood gap she thought, but instead used a knife to stab a mass of flesh and blood in another position.

That flesh and blood was like a sarcoma, spread on the ground, looking like a pancake.

As a result, when this knife stabbed down, the mass of flesh and blood seemed to feel the pain, and it shrank back with a whoosh, like a mimosa closing its leaves, shrinking from the previous pancake shape into a ball like a walnut.

As a result, an entrance to the ground was revealed.

The entrance to the basement.

Okra was stunned.

She didn't expect that there would be another passage here on the first floor, but this was leading to the underground, which was relatively farther away from the top floor.

What's more, she had already determined that the elevators and stairs on this side of the first floor were blocked, so even if she went down to the first basement floor, it would be useless. After all, no matter which one she chose, she had to pass through this area on the first floor.

So, she was just surprised that there was an underground entrance, but she didn't think it could change anything.

In the end, the result was the same, both from the first floor to the second floor.

And she had already done these things.

Luo Xi didn't explain to her, but instead walked down, and Okra also followed closely behind.

Below was the underground parking lot. Luo Xi found a car, broke the glass, took out a key from the glove compartment in the passenger seat, and then found another elevator in the underground parking lot.

Only at this moment did Okra react.

"There's actually more than one elevator in this building?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Has anyone told you that there is only one elevator here?" Luo Xi asked rhetorically.

Okra was speechless.

No one had said it; it was all her own assumption.

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ Is ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Post!

Luo Xi pressed the elevator button. Soon, the elevator opened, but along with the opening of the elevator door, a cold aura surged out.

Okra's eyelids twitched.

In the elevator, with his back to the door, stood an old man wearing a shroud.

The old man lowered his head, his hands hanging down, but he was standing on tiptoe, in an extremely strange posture.

Even a fool could see that this was a 'ghost'.

There weren't many of these things. There might only be two or three in ten scenes, but in terms of danger, they were much more terrifying than murderers.

If you were lucky with a murderer, or fought back with the mentality of not wanting your life, it was still possible to kill them, but 'ghosts' were not.

Once encountered, unless you had a card like [Exorcism] that restrained ghosts in your hand, or you were lucky enough to encounter a ghost that killed people only when triggering the rules, otherwise, you should prepare to wake up on the next cycle day.

Moreover, compared to the quick and decisive killing methods of murderers, 'ghosts' killed people sometimes even more terrifyingly, leaving greater psychological and mental trauma to the Reclaimers.

Okra had encountered one before, and even now when she thought about it, it could give her goosebumps all over her body.

The next scene that surprised her happened. Luo Xi actually walked into this elevator with a ghost without any care, and then almost stuck to the ghost, waving to Okra outside.

The meaning was, hurry up and come in, don't waste time.

"He's not afraid, which means there's no problem for now." Okra's reaction was also very quick, and in this situation, even if she was afraid, she couldn't show it.

So, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to walk into the elevator.

At this time, Luo Xi spoke, but didn't say anything, just made a mouth shape.

It seemed to be saying 'don't breathe'.

Okra immediately reacted. She held her breath the moment she stepped into the elevator.

She knew that the wall-facing ghost in the elevator was a rule-based ghost. The mechanism that triggered it to kill people was breathing. As long as you held your breath, you could safely ride the elevator.

But why didn't that guy Luo Xi say it earlier?

If he had said it earlier, she would have taken a deep breath.

As a result, she only had half a breath now, and after a dozen seconds, her face was already a little red from holding it in.

On the other hand, Luo Xi looked calm, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Okra quickly calculated. She could hold on for another twenty seconds at most, which was already the limit. When the time came, she would either suffocate to death or die at the hands of the ghost.

The hatred in her heart.

But she had no choice but to tense her body, clench her fists, and hold her breath like her life depended on it.

The elevator went up.

Okra found that Luo Xi had pressed the 5th floor.

Why not go directly to the top floor?

Okra was puzzled. Could it be because he knew she couldn't hold it in, so he let her go to the 5th floor to catch her breath first?

It's also possible.

Soon, the 5th floor arrived.

After the elevator door opened, Okra immediately walked out, and only when she got outside did she exhale. It could be seen that her originally fair neck was red from holding it in, and her veins were bulging, which was very scary.

Luo Xi also walked out of the elevator.

He glanced back. The moment the elevator door closed, the body of the wall-facing ghost inside began to emit some strange changes and sounds.

However, these were all isolated outside the moment the elevator door closed.

Okra also noticed it, and she immediately understood the key to it.

"In other words, the elevator can only go up to the fifth floor, because continuing upward, the ghost inside will kill people immediately... Wait a minute, doesn't that mean that the mechanism of breathing to kill people before was a lie?"
