Day of Imprisonment

For a B-rank Transcendent expert, once an opponent reveals a flaw, she can immediately seize the opportunity and expand her advantage.

Having experienced countless battles, Aoi would naturally not miss this opportunity.

After she killed one of the C-rank Transcendent enemies, she immediately swayed, suddenly changing direction, and under circumstances the opponent hadn't anticipated at all, she launched a surprise attack on the C-rank Transcendent expert who was fighting Shirana.

This sudden change of attack direction was extremely sudden and caught the opponent completely off guard, resulting in a very successful surprise attack.

The area director who was fighting Shirana didn't expect an attack from behind at all, and was directly stabbed through the heart by Aoi's blade, dying tragically on the spot.

"Be careful, retreat first!"

Deputy General Manager Li on the other side also reacted extremely quickly, shouting loudly.

At the same time, he rushed forward.

He was very clear that once his side suffered continuous casualties, it would inevitably lead to panic, and panic would easily lead to mistakes, and mistakes would be seized upon by the opponent.

Moreover, Aoi, like him, was a Deputy General Manager, and her individual strength clearly surpassed the others. This sudden sneak attack, no matter who it targeted, would be a sure thing.

Fortunately, his subordinates were not bad either. Once they were on guard, the opponent would not be able to use the same method to sneak attack again.

Coupled with Deputy General Manager Li's order, they immediately retreated, disengaging from the battle. This time, the opponent had no chance to take advantage.

Aoi didn't pursue either.

She had already gained a great advantage. The opponent had 1 Deputy General Manager and only 4 area directors left. Aoi's strength was already very close to the opponent's.

Deputy General Manager Li's eyes were gloomy, filled with murderous intent.

The opponent had actually seized an opportunity, suddenly using 'Shadow' to launch a sneak attack, continuously killing two of his subordinates, resulting in the opponent closing the gap in strength between the two sides.

The originally sure victory had now become somewhat unpredictable.

"General Manager Aoi, you're really insidious enough." Deputy General Manager Li cursed, his eyes as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Enough nonsense, today either you die, or I perish." Aoi tightly gripped the dagger in her hand, looking like a god of death.

Anyone could see that she was completely going all out.

Deputy General Manager Li narrowed his eyes at this moment, thinking of something. He suddenly smiled: "General Manager Aoi, it's not worth risking your life for such a small matter. Why don't we take a break for a while, and I'll have someone discuss your previous conditions? Please wait a moment."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to agree, he actually walked to the side and used a landline in the corner to make a call.

His four C-rank Transcendent subordinates immediately stood ready.

Aoi's eyelids twitched, stopping Shirana and the others who were preparing to take the opportunity to step forward.

The other party actually really went to make a phone call.

Deputy General Manager Li said something in a low voice into the phone at this time.

It could be faintly heard over here.

What he said was 'As you expected'.

The next sentence was 'Understood!'

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

Very quickly.

The next moment, Deputy General Manager Li walked over and said to Aoi: "General Manager Aoi, it's not worth fighting to the death for two checkpoint scenes. How about this, I admit defeat. Your previous request, I agree to it. The management rights of those two checkpoint scenes can be returned to you."

His attitude was a complete 180-degree turn from just now.

Aoi was stunned.

Of course, this expression wasn't feigned.

But her surprise wasn't that the other party had actually agreed to the previous conditions after making a phone call, but that Luo Xi had accurately predicted the other party's reaction and actions.

It was more than just amazing.

However, because it was Luo Xi, Aoi felt it was only natural after being surprised.

So, she pretended to consider it for a moment and put forward one of her conditions.

"You want to see those intruders first?"

Deputy General Manager Li also pretended to be stunned.

In reality, he was overjoyed.

Just now, he was calling Wei Si, and the reason for making this call was also what Wei Si had instructed beforehand.

Then, Wei Si told him that he could feign agreement with the other party and not fight to the death, unless he was 100% sure of killing all of the opponents. Otherwise, he only needed to stall for time.

In addition, he had to reopen the previously locked and transferred scenes as soon as possible.

"Okay, I agree to your conditions."

Deputy General Manager Li pretended to make a decision after thinking.

"A Kun, come here, I have something to tell you."

He beckoned, calling over an area director and whispering to him.

The matter he instructed was to reopen the two scenes that had been locked and transferred previously.

A Kun left immediately.

"General Manager Aoi, the situation of those intruders is rather special, you'll have to wait a moment."

"Okay, but you can't leave my sight. Who knows if you'll do something sneaky." Aoi said.

"Heh, now the downstairs of the building is full of your people, my people can't come up at all. To be honest, I should be the one who's worried." Deputy General Manager Li said with a fake smile.

The two people who were fighting to the death just now were actually chatting peacefully at this moment.

Deputy General Manager Li really didn't have a chance of winning. Otherwise, he would have wanted to skin Aoi and the others alive right now.

But he was also clear that as long as he temporarily stabilized the other party, then his side would definitely be able to obtain the final victory.

The reason was very simple.

Wei Si asked him to seal off and transfer those two key scenes, and the most important reason was the matter of 'Immortality'.

Prior to this, there had long been rumors about the enhancement levels within the Day of Confinement.

Basically, there were three major levels: Elite, Transcendent, and Immortal.

It was just that the highest enhancement level that a Memory Retriever could reach was unable to exceed Elite B-rank at all, not even reaching the threshold of Transcendent.

And within the company, even if one was promoted to general manager, according to the gradual increase in levels, the most one could reach was Transcendent A-rank.

Therefore, whether the 'Immortal' level actually existed had always been an unresolved matter.

Some people believed it existed. After all, there was no smoke without fire. If there was no Immortal level, how could there be corresponding level divisions?

Others believed that Transcendent A was the ceiling of the enhancement level, the 'summit'. The so-called 'Immortal' level was just a lie spread by someone.

It simply didn't exist.

Because even the Memory Retrievers with the longest-preserved memories, or the administrators who joined the company the earliest, had never seen a true 'Immortal' level.

Until the occurrence of that 'intrusion incident'.

He truly witnessed what was called an 'Immortal' level.

That monster, which resembled a female ghost, was truly invincible. Even if all the deputy general managers at the time besieged it together, they couldn't defeat it. They couldn't even hurt it. Afterwards, several deputy general managers were counter-killed by that Immortal-level monster.

Fortunately, these intruders didn't understand the company's situation. After paying a certain price, they were trapped in the internal scene on the 17th floor.

They didn't know how long they could be trapped.

This 'Immortal' level was simply a sword hanging over their heads.

It made people uneasy.

However, although these intruders caused them great trouble, they also proved the existence of the 'Immortal' level.

Now that there was an Immortal level, exploring where this Immortal level came from naturally became the key.
