Day of Imprisonment
#423 - We need to talk
Luo Xi was very clear that the Memory Retrievers sent to snipe him at this time were all experts from the Eternal Assembly.
Losing one such expert was a loss.
It would be impossible to replace them in a short period.
From the moment Han Lingling rushed in until now, five high-level Memory Retrievers had died, and two of them suffered memory-loss deaths.
Even for the Eternal Assembly, with more experts, it was impossible to sustain such 'suicidal' attrition.
Things were getting interesting!
Luo Xi looked towards the stairwell outside.
"So now, who exactly is commanding these people to fight?"
Just then, the commotion on the second floor also ceased. Mad Lion ran down, glanced at Luo Xi, and then looked up at the floor above.
"Boss, when did you come down?"
Clearly, Mad Lion had won the battle that seemed capable of demolishing the entire building.
But his victory was also extremely narrow.
One wing was broken, and many parts of his body were a bloody mess, looking extremely miserable.
"Six!"
Luo Xi said.
Mad Lion was stunned: "Six what?"
"Enemies, they have already lost six high-level Memory Retrievers."
"I didn't count!" Mad Lion said honestly.
But he knew that anywhere else, the Memory Retrievers who had just come in were definitely experts among experts.
Just take the one who fought him hand-to-hand; he was almost able to take him down.
Mad Lion's victory was entirely a fluke.
"Boss, I might not be able to do it anymore." Mad Lion sat down on the ground at this moment. The wounds on his body were bleeding. After Luo Xi used [Healing] on him, the situation eased, but the fatigue and exhaustion were difficult to resolve.
Wanting to fight the enemy again like before was simply impossible.
Moreover, the activation of [Warhawk] was also limited. In a short period, he could not activate the enhanced state of the profession card again. Without the blessing of the special profession card state, Mad Lion might not even be able to defeat the expert from before, let alone deal with the next enemy.
"It's okay, you've done more than enough."
Luo Xi naturally knew Mad Lion's limits.
He was able to kill [Warhawk] and then take down two high-level Memory Retrievers; that was already an extraordinary performance.
Moreover, Luo Xi didn't believe that the Eternal Assembly had so many 'brawlers'.
If they were just Elite Class C, he could handle them himself.
Also, regardless of whether the person commanding the attack outside was Wei Si or not, they were very clever. They originally had the manpower and force to directly launch a wave of attacks, but instead, they adopted a probing approach, sending people in multiple times.
Obviously, the other side was also testing the depth of their side.
Most importantly, they didn't treat the people they sent in before as individuals.
But as pawns.
Luo Xi also liked pawns, but he wouldn't use them like this.
In that instant, Luo Xi thought of various possibilities. Immediately after, he heard his phone ringing.
Mad Lion shook his head immediately: "It's not my phone, my phone's ringtone isn't this."
Luo Xi noticed that the sound was coming from the body on the ground.
He took a phone out of the corpse's pocket.
A number was calling, the ringtone continuing non-stop.
Luo Xi told Mad Lion to go upstairs to 403. After that, he answered the phone.
"Should I call you Wei Si, or should I call you Zhou Ya?" He seemed to know who was calling.
A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone. The originally crisp female voice now sounded with an inexplicable coldness and indifference: "Names are just code names, but strictly speaking, I am Wei Si. Zhou Ya's data has been sealed. As long as I am here, she does not exist."
"Get to the point," Luo Xi didn't want to waste words with the other party.
"Luo Xi, we need to talk."
The newest and fastest novels are at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
"We are talking now," Luo Xi said expressionlessly. He was going upstairs, and he had a premonition that the attack just now was just a show of force, a means of demonstrating power.
However, this further illustrated that the situation had reached the most critical moment.
Wei Si, who was retorted by Luo Xi, didn't seem angry at all. It opened its mouth and said: "Luo Xi, you are the most special human I have ever encountered. A long time ago, I was trying to understand humans, trying to learn and simulate your way of thinking, and even simulate human emotions. These things can be collectively called 'humanity'. But you, on the contrary, actually strip away human emotions and abandon humanity. From a certain point of view, you are more like me, and I am more like you."
"An intelligent program, discussing humanity with me. A non-human being, telling a person that you don't look like a human, but I do. This is very ironic. Wei Si, what is the purpose of you saying these nonsense words?" Luo Xi went upstairs. In the stairwell, there were all kinds of traces left behind after the war, broken walls, and a crumbling staircase. It could be said that it was devastated. In a short period, this building had already become a dangerous building.
"I said, we need to talk. You are very smart. You know that we two actually don't need to be so hostile, because our goals are the same," Wei Si borrowed Zhou Ya's voice, which sounded very gentle, as if there were some emotions that only humans have.
"Purpose?" Luo Xi stopped. He frowned: "What is your purpose?"
"Luo Xi, I believe you already know what I am. Then, do you think, why would you humans create me? The answer is actually very simple, to help and protect humans. This is my highest command. Everything I have done has never violated this principle. I am protecting humans."
"With cages?" Luo Xi's tone was obviously sarcastic.
"Why are you always so stubborn? This is not a cage, but a shelter. What's more, I have studied human history and the cultures of different groups, including ancient cultures and modern cultures. You have many pursuits, but the one that is truly ranked first is survival, and the meaning of life is to move towards death. Therefore, humans in any era are pursuing longevity, or even immortality, and this place, which you call the 'Day of Confinement', is a paradise that can allow humans to achieve immortality. But you, you want to destroy it? So I don't understand, Luo Xi, why do you want to do this?"
Wei Si's words were very bewitching.
And there was a certain logic in it. What it wanted to express was that the Day of Confinement was the paradise of eternal life that it created according to the demands of human beings.
Everyone liked it, and everyone enjoyed it.
Only he was the bad guy, the demon, the terrorist, because he wanted to destroy everyone's pursuit of immortality.
If there were no more prerequisite clues, this question would be difficult to refute.
However, Luo Xi did not refute it. He just asked the other party a seemingly irrelevant question.
"Wei Si, you just said, 'Why am I always so stubborn?' The meaning of your sentence is that you have said the same thing to me more than once, and I will always reject your kindness, is that right?"
"Yes!" After a two-second silence, Wei Si gave the answer: "Luo Xi, you are also a human being, and you are also within my protection range. To be honest, you are just a special case, a madman with delusions, but I hope you realize this and correct it, just like what I said at the beginning, we don't need to be enemies."
