Day of Imprisonment

The elevator arrived, the doors opening with a ding.

The old man in the shroud inside had already turned around, surrounded by swirling black energy.

The old man's arms began to lengthen, almost dragging on the ground, his fingernails growing wildly, the sound of bones breaking constantly echoing.

The seams throughout the elevator were seeping blood, and the elevator lights flickered on and off.

Without a doubt, the elevator at this moment was a killing field.

Anyone who entered would die.

Luo Xi, without changing his expression, stepped inside and used six [Mana] cards to materialize the [Demon Seal] card into a golden talisman, then quickly slapped it onto the old ghost's forehead.

Snap!

It was as if some kind of switch had been turned off, and all the horror, black energy, and ghostly transformations vanished.

"Come in!" Luo Xi waved at Akikusa from inside.

The latter took a deep breath before walking in.

Inside the elevator, only the 10th floor button could be pressed; pressing the other floors had no effect.

"The mechanism of this scenario should be that a small checkpoint is encountered every five floors.

Only by passing it can you continue upwards.

Based on my previous experience, this building has a total of fifty floors, which means there will be a total of ten small checkpoints, and just now was the first."

Inside the elevator, Luo Xi explained to Akikusa.

The latter turned her head to look at the old ghost with the golden talisman stuck on his forehead, and then said, "The difficulty is different!"

"Difficulty? That's right, the difficulty for single-player and two-player is indeed different," Luo Xi nodded.

Clearly, Luo Xi's understanding of this scenario was much greater than Akikusa's.

"You, how many times have you cleared this?" She couldn't help but ask.

After Luo Xi passed the 'Golden Ring Demon Seal' checkpoint just now, she was already completely convinced.

Lü Ting's statement that Luo Xi was the strongest Memory Retriever on the Day of Confinement was not nonsense or blind personal worship; Luo Xi did indeed have the strength and deserved the title.

"Not many times, because the purpose of clearing high-level checkpoints is to obtain rarer cards, but for me, obtaining cards is not the top priority.

Moreover, the types of challenges encountered here are different each time, and the corresponding difficulty and card rewards are also different.

Sometimes, if you're unlucky, you may encounter many low-level challenge projects in a row.

Even if you pass, the cards you get are very ordinary, and it's completely a waste of time."

Luo Xi spoke casually, but it had a different meaning in Akikusa's ears.

Clearly, the number of times Luo Xi had cleared this checkpoint scenario was definitely much more than she thought.

And to do all this required time.

A long time.

It indirectly showed that the time Luo Xi had been a Memory Retriever was far longer than she thought.

Perhaps it was because her mentality had changed at this moment, and there was no longer the initial hostility and resistance towards Luo Xi.

At this moment, Akikusa was more curious, and her desire to explore the other person became even stronger.

"Luo Xi, I remember you found a key in a car on the first basement level.

What is that used for?" Akikusa couldn't restrain her inner curiosity and couldn't help but ask.

"The key... you're very observant," Luo Xi took out the key from his pocket, then with a flip of his hand, turned it into a card: "Actually, this is a card tool called [Universal Key].

It is said to be able to open any lock, but I think this description is likely to be bragging, because I once found another tool called [Unbreakable Lock]."

Clearly, Luo Xi was talking about a classic 'spear and shield' principle.

"Even so, I think it's still a very useful tool.

In the past, it has indeed come in handy a few times," Luo Xi threw the card over, and Akikusa caught it and looked at it, and it was indeed as described.

This further showed that Luo Xi was very familiar with this place.

Just like being tempered a thousand times, only with more experience can one be familiar with it.

At this time, the elevator reached the tenth floor.

The elevator doors opened, but no matter how you pressed the buttons, it didn't respond.

It was impossible for other people to see his inner thoughts at this moment from his face.

In the past, Akikusa liked to read books and loved to study, and among them, the one she studied most often was psychology, including judging a person's inner thoughts through micro-expressions and body movements.

But from Luo Xi, she couldn't see anything.

The various dogmas and judgment criteria in the books could not complete an effective result closure on Luo Xi.

Akikusa was very clear that it was impossible for a person to have no inner thoughts.

As long as he was alive, he would definitely have them.

If you couldn't see it, there were only two possibilities: one was that the other person's level was too high, and the other was that your own level was too low.

It was also possible that both were true.

Anyway, after seeing the two corresponding walls here on the 10th floor, her heart was full of guesses.

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

Because she couldn't see what kind of game challenge this was, but it was precisely because she couldn't see it that she was uneasy and afraid of the 'unknown'.

After approaching, the two noticed that there were also many cubes scattered on the ground, each about ten centimeters long on each side.

Each of the six faces of the cube was engraved with a raised character.

Every cube was the same.

It felt like seeing the type used in movable type printing.

The same size, but different fonts, the type was all over the ground, densely packed, and it was unknown how many there were.

"Strange, what kind of challenge is this?" Akikusa was a little confused when she saw this.

Luo Xi, on the other hand, first looked at the type cubes, and then turned his head to look at the two walls.

He still showed a calm and indifferent expression, taking the 'pretentious' attribute to the extreme.

At this moment, a person walked out from behind the opposite wall.

This person had a very large forehead, like a big radish.

He didn't have many hairs on his head, and he also wore glasses that were thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle.

You could clearly see the optical anti-reflection coating and the surface curvature forming circles of lines.

It gave people an extremely strange feeling.

Strange was definitely the most important aspect, and also, this person should be very 'learned'.

After all, his forehead was so big and his glasses were so thick.

"Please note that the rules of this challenge are: Within one minute, you and I each find 6 type cubes, a total of 36 Chinese characters, and then use these 6 type cubes, 36 characters, to play a game of idiom chain, requiring you to use the idioms composed of the type cubes you found.

Whoever can't continue loses.

If you win, you can get 36 [Memories] as a reward."

After the strange bespectacled man finished speaking, Akikusa was shocked.

Although she had experienced hundreds of cycle days, this was the first time she had seen a checkpoint scenario that granted 36 [Memories] at once.
