Day of Imprisonment

“I have some advice, no… more precisely, a warning. Do not interfere with my employees again, or I will directly judge you as violating the scene rules and can legally and reasonably kill you. Before that, I will take all the cards on you,” Liang Yunshi warned Luo Xi.

She looked very angry.

Luo Xi's expression at this moment was still like seeing a ghost, extremely shocked.

If Wu Rui saw Luo Xi's current appearance, she would definitely be shocked because Luo Xi had never been so失态 since the first scene.

Because, this Teacher Liang can actually leave her 'workplace'?

Or is it that she can freely roam within the scene without having to abide by the 'range rules' like other administrators?

However, in just a few seconds, he returned to normal.

“Teacher Liang, you said that your scene has a high degree of freedom and there are not many rules, have you forgotten?” Luo Xi, who had recovered his composure, did not back down. He chose to confront her head-on.

“I made a mistake before, Luo Xi. I didn’t expect you to be as difficult as the rumors say. Okay, let’s not talk about the past. Now, I want to announce the scene rules.” Liang Yunshi suddenly smiled again. She looked beautiful when she smiled.

“The rules are still very simple: You cannot harm the amnesiacs here; you cannot interfere with the work of the mini-game employees; you cannot ask irrelevant questions, including but not limited to questions unrelated to the game project, and you cannot ask or imply their identities and things other than the current game; abide by the game rules, no cheating is allowed, otherwise, the participation qualification will be canceled and the suicide bug will be directly activated; the clearance requirement is to win at least three games in the scene, and an extra card will be randomly drawn as a reward for clearance. That’s all, then I wish you a pleasant game.”

“Do you know me?” Luo Xi didn’t care about the rules, but was concerned about the sentence ‘I didn’t expect you to be as difficult as the rumors say’ that the other party said at the beginning, so he asked back.

“I don’t know you, I’ve only heard your name.” Liang Yunshi was very elegant. She should have received higher education. Her standing posture, the position of her arms hanging down, the angle of her chin when speaking, her eyes, tone, and speech speed were obviously trained.

Or rather, it was a habit formed over a long period of time.

It would make people feel very elegant and advanced, as if it had been rehearsed.

“Was I a Memory Retriever before?” Luo Xi could only think of this possibility.

The other party smiled first.

“You said, why are there two roles, amnesiac and Memory Retriever, in the Days of Confinement? Amnesiacs, first of all, must have memories before they can talk about losing them. Strictly speaking, all amnesiacs may have been Memory Retrievers.” Liang Yunshi answered in an indirect way.

“That’s impossible!” Luo Xi shook his head.

“What’s impossible?” Liang Yunshi frowned. She had a feeling that the person opposite her didn’t seem to be on the same line of thought as her, and this guy’s brain seemed to be abnormal.

“If I had been a Memory Retriever, I couldn’t have become an amnesiac…” Luo Xi’s tone was very firm.

“Unless… I understand.” Luo Xi’s brows relaxed, which in turn stunned Liang Yunshi on the opposite side.

Obviously, the other party didn’t listen to her at all.

“What are you talking about? What unless? What do you understand?”

“Sorry, these seem to be irrelevant to the game in the scene. Due to the rules, I won’t say much. Teacher Liang, I’m going to challenge the game project.” Luo Xi turned his head and said to the dummy: “I’ve already given you a [Memory] before. I’m challenging the expert mode, so can we start now?”

The dummy was stunned for a moment. It scratched its head and took out a [Memory] from somewhere to take a look.

“Yes, there is indeed an extra [Memory]. It seems to be the one you gave me. You can start the game now.” The dummy pointed to the entrance in front: “You can go in from here.”

Luo Xi did not hesitate and stepped in.

Outside, Liang Yunshi had a strange expression, looking at the entrance Luo Xi entered, her expression was very solemn.

Smoke, everywhere is smoke. Besides the thick smoke, there are some cries for help and screams from nowhere.

“The Yin-Yang level checkpoint scene, is the effect so good?”

Luo Xi was bending over and lowering his head at this time, judging his current position and the direction of the safe passage.

Before he came in, he noticed the fire escape plan of this building on the wall behind the dummy, including the location of the entrance he entered and the location of the exit. He had already memorized them, but after coming in, Luo Xi found that the situation was different from what he thought.

The location he was in was not the first floor, but a higher floor.

At least the second floor, maybe the third floor, or even the fourth floor.

Because just now he glanced at the window in the distance that was almost blackened, and he saw the treetops outside.

“The trees planted on this campus are ginkgo trees. The height of ginkgo trees varies depending on their growing environment and conditions. Generally speaking, ginkgo trees can grow to a height of 10 to 30 meters. Taking the median value, it is about 20 meters. The height of each floor of the school building here is about four meters, which is about three to four floors high.”

Luo Xi's brain quickly flashed his deduction.

“In other words, entering from the entrance will be randomly teleported to a certain position upstairs. Heh, it’s quite fun, but this will increase the difficulty.”

The smoke here is obviously increasing, and he must escape as soon as possible.

And there are two escape routes.

If the fire point is on the lower floor and the escape passage has been blocked, you can only run upwards; if you have a fire emergency mask and a fire blanket, you may also be able to run down the corridor. As for just covering your mouth and nose with a wet towel, trying to rush all the way down from the smoky third or fourth floor

"I'm sorry, that's an unrealistic fantasy."

"It's not that it can't succeed, it's that the probability is very low."

One principle in a fire is to never overestimate yourself.

Luo Xi made a judgment almost immediately.

He first stuck to the wall, lowered his head, and tried to avoid the poisonous and pungent smoke. He found the stairwell and first touched the doorknob.

It wasn't hot.

He pushed it open and found it was full of smoke.

He immediately closed the door.

Going down without any protection is simply suicide.

At this time, footsteps came from behind, very chaotic.

Luo Xi looked back and saw a teacher leading several students running over. I have to say, the challenge of this game project was too realistic. These people covered their mouths and noses with wet towels or clothes, some with their faces blackened and their eyes filled with fear.

Just like the real thing.

Or perhaps, it is real.

"You can't get through ahead." Seeing these people wanting to open the fire escape and run down, Luo Xi kindly reminded them.

"We have to get through even if we can't. Staying here is just waiting for death. Come with us, there is strength in numbers." The male teacher looked anxious. The students behind him obviously didn't have any opinions of their own. They would go wherever the teacher went, like chicks following a hen.

You could tell they were all panicked, but at least none of the children were crying.

They were all still relatively strong.

However, he didn't intend to stop them. His purpose was to escape, not to save people.

Of course, he wouldn't follow them to their deaths.

Just as the male teacher was about to lead the students to charge down, Luo Xi suddenly narrowed his eyes and suddenly reached out to grab one of the little boys.

"What are you doing? Let me go." The little boy was startled and immediately began to struggle.

"What are you doing? Let go, what are you joking about at this time?" The male teacher, hearing the commotion, also turned around and reprimanded him.

Luo Xi remained unmoved. He grabbed the little boy's wrist and stared intently at the phone watch he was wearing.

"I told you to let go." The male teacher immediately stepped forward, trying to push Luo Xi away, but Luo Xi preemptively punched him in the face.

Sometimes, fists are more convincing than words.

The male teacher was intimidated. He covered his face and wanted to say something, but after seeing Luo Xi's eyes, he held back.

"Yang Minghao?"

Luo Xi then looked at the little boy and asked.

The other party was obviously stunned.

"I am Yang Minghao, who are you, uncle?" the little boy said.

"Why are you here?" Luo Xi asked a question that sounded very incomprehensible to the other party.

"I..." The little boy obviously didn't know how to answer. At this time, the male teacher seized the opportunity, suddenly grabbed the little boy, and quickly moved away from Luo Xi.

Luo Xi didn't chase after them either.

Soon, the male teacher led the group of students into the smoke-filled stairwell and quickly disappeared from sight.

The smoke was getting thicker.

Luo Xi could only look for another exit, but obviously, there wasn't much safe time left for him. Under normal circumstances, the first three to five minutes after a fire breaks out are the golden escape time, but obviously, he had already passed this time period when he came in.

With the remaining time, every second that passed would add to the danger.

At another stairwell, thick smoke surged upwards, and just one glance was enough to know that there was no way to go down.

It seemed that he could only go upstairs.

But Luo Xi discovered that this was the top floor, and there was no passage to the roof.

The corridors on both sides were classrooms, and further ahead was the teachers' office.

Luo Xi quickly walked over, trying to open the door to the teachers' office, but he retracted his hand as soon as he touched the doorknob.

The metal doorknob was very hot.

This showed that it was already a sea of fire inside.

Luo Xi thought for a moment and entered a classroom.

There was no one here anymore. There was an open window, but you could see thick smoke quickly 'flowing' out along the ceiling.

He closed the classroom door and used the towels and clothes he could find to seal the door seams to prevent smoke from seeping in.

But even so, this place wouldn't last long.

Luo Xi had already started coughing violently. Even though he was very careful, he still inhaled a lot of smoke, causing intense discomfort.

He picked up the desks and chairs in the classroom and smashed all the windows.

Luo Xi reached the window and looked out.

Sure enough, he was on the fourth floor of the teaching building.

It was more than ten meters from the ground here, so jumping down directly was definitely not an option.

Moreover, before this, Luo Xi had already confirmed that he could not use his cards in almost every small game challenge.

So he couldn't use the power of any cards.

There were no curtains in the classroom, so he couldn't rely on the curtains to climb down and jump to a safe height.

In addition, the fire was burning up from the first floor. Now the flames on the first floor were already coming out of the windows below, so even if there were ropes, the mortality rate of going down would be too high.

The amount of smoke increased, and the entire classroom was filled with black smoke, which began to pour out of the windows frantically.

Even though half of his body was sticking out, Luo Xi still felt a strong sense of suffocation. The stinging pain of the smoke entering his mouth, nose, and lungs made him feel death.

Fortunately, he covered his mouth and nose with wet clothes, which had some effect.

As for why the clothes were wet.

It was because Luo Xi's neck was constantly bleeding.

Death was approaching, the heat behind him was getting hotter, and the smoke was also high temperature, said to reach up to 700 degrees, which was quite exaggerated, and a single breath could cook the lungs.

Now that there was no way out, Luo Xi looked up at this time, looked up, and then immediately held his breath and plunged back into the smoke.

Soon, he climbed out of the window with two broken chair legs.

He began to climb upwards, using the 'T' angle of the chair legs to jam the edge of the roof above. Finally, after trying twice, he climbed up.
