Day of Imprisonment

Wu Rui's card album ability, obtained after clearing three scenarios, upgraded the effects of her original initial cards.

Or rather, the cards still had their original effects, but because of the card album, the effects received a huge 'boost'.

This situation coincided with Luo Xi's initial speculation about the relationship between the card album and the Memory Gatherer. Although Wu Rui's ability doesn't possess powerful attack attributes and isn't a combat-type skill, if used properly, this enhanced version of 'Hideout' might be able to attack in addition to hiding and defending.

This is also why Luo Xi wanted to help Wu Rui and Brother Mao clear the scenarios this time.

Next was Brother Mao.

Luo Xi pulled him aside as well.

However, Brother Mao was a little embarrassed at this time. He did obtain his card ring, but he lacked experience, so he didn't know how to materialize or cardify it.

"Don't worry, it's like riding a bicycle, just a simple skill. Come on, follow me."

Luo Xi was teaching him hands-on at this moment.

First, feel the psychic power.

Memory Gatherers feel 'psychic power' when holding any Spider Card, but some people just aren't aware of it.

But with a little guidance, it's actually quite easy.

Feeling the psychic power is the first step, and the second step is to use the psychic power to switch.

"Brother Mao, you can imagine a coin."

"A coin?"

"Yes, a one-yuan coin. Now, do you have a concrete image of this one-yuan coin in your mind?"

"Yes, I'm very familiar with coins. I even have one in my pocket."

"Great, take it out, look at it, heads, tails, and remember the patterns of the flower and the words, remember the luster and weight, and then imagine it, gradually strengthening the image of the coin in your mind."

The method Luo Xi taught was the most common way for Memory Gatherers to train 'psychic power'.

Hao Xiuwen said this was called the 'Coin Training Method'.

No one knows who created it, but without a doubt, it is currently recognized by all Memory Gatherers as the best, fastest, and most effective training method.

"I've imagined it!"

"Close your eyes!"

"Okay."

"Is the coin still there?"

"Yes, it is!"

"Then, flip the coin over."

"Okay, flipped it."

"Is the coin still there?"

"Yes."

"Okay!"

So, Brother Mao closed his eyes, focusing intently on flipping the coin he imagined in his mind.

"Thirty flips are done, the coin is still there."

"Good, take your card, close your eyes as well, imagine that you're holding the coin in your mind, and then flip it. But be careful, slowly replace the coin with the image of the card. If you don't remember the look of the card, open your eyes and memorize it carefully. Once you've memorized it, flip the card in your mind like you flipped the coin..."

Luo Xi told Brother Mao the precautions and techniques for controlling the card. At the same time, he called Guo Zening to practice together.

Practice takes time.

Wu Rui must have done similar exercises in private, so she could easily switch between cardification and materialization.

Although, in Luo Xi's opinion, her switching was still not very skilled.

Just then, Bean's Game Room welcomed other 'customers'.

A person with a backpack.

The person was wearing a hooded jacket and a mask, making it impossible to see their face, but judging from the figure, it was a man, not too old.

After this person came in, they directly bought a pass from Bean.

The one with 3 [Memory] cards.

A big spender.

These people who are in a hurry and buy tickets directly without asking about the content must have been here before and are veterans.

Luo Xi looked at the person, and the person seemed to notice it, turned his head and glanced at him, but was quickly attracted by Brother Mao and Guo Zening who were concentrating on practicing materialization and cardification.

Then, this person 'heh'ed, shook his head, and walked into the game room.

Clearly, there was a meaning of contempt and disdain.

Soon, a few more people walked into the game room.

Because of the possibility of 'robbing', Memory Gatherers who expose their identities easily become targets for others, so when acting outside, especially when entering a certain scenario, those with companions will form gangs, at least to be safer.

However, if viewed from another perspective, people who form gangs show that they are not confident in themselves, and the source of their lack of confidence is their poor strength.

Thus, it can be concluded that it is highly likely that there are no experts among those Memory Gatherers who travel in groups.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Some people like to hide their strength, while others love to play the pig to eat the tiger.

After these people came in, they naturally noticed Luo Xi and the others.

"It's quite lively here today." Among those people, the leader said a sentence, and then directly walked over and asked: "Who is the leader among you?"

Whenever there is a team, there will definitely be a leader, simply put, the person in charge.

"What can I do for you, brother?" Luo Xi asked.

That person looked Luo Xi up and down, and smiled: "Don't misunderstand, brother, we don't mean anything else, we just want to ask if you want to play a project together. Oh, right, my name is Hou Cheng. The reason I took the liberty to ask is because there is a scenario in this Bean's Game Room that requires more than a certain number of people to unlock the hidden reward. We don't have enough people, but if we add you few, it will be enough."

"Do you come here often, brother? Do you know so much about this place?"

"I come here often. To be honest, I have challenged most of the scenarios in this Bean's Game Room. Oh, right, don't go to the claw machine, it's purely a rip-off. It seems to have no danger, but the difficulty of clearing it is extremely high. In my opinion, it's almost impossible for ordinary people unless they have a particularly good physique."

The other party clearly took the initiative to provide information.

It was a kind of 'showing goodwill'.

"The claw machine is indeed a rip-off, but you said it a bit late, brother. We just tried it... As for the project you mentioned, forget it, we can't afford to play it." Luo Xi smiled.

As the saying goes, there is no free lunch. Regardless of the other party's purpose in actively inviting them to challenge the scenario, they must be careful, but the response is very simple.

No matter how wonderful you say it, just don't take the bait.

At this moment, Wu Rui stared at one of the people with a serious expression, hesitant to speak.

Seeing her strange appearance, Luo Xi went over to ask. Wu Rui whispered: "I've seen one of them before."

"Where?"

"At the company... Actually, the previous loop day was my first loop day. I saw him. Many people died that time!" Wu Rui's face was not very good.

"Oh, which one?"

"The one wearing the plaid shirt and gray pants!"

"Got it!" Luo Xi suddenly asked at this time: "I remember you told me about a person, who was your 'mentor', who told you about the Day of Confinement, about the cards, about survival skills... But you said she gave up later and voluntarily became an amnesiac."

"Yes!" Wu Rui's expression dimmed. This memory was very important to her.

"But in fact, your 'confession' to me at the company was actually a lie. You said that only three people died on your first loop day, the delivery guy, President Du, and Zhao Xiaolei. Did I remember it wrong?" Luo Xi looked at her.

Wu Rui reacted, looking embarrassed: "Luo Xi, I was wrong. I didn't trust you as much as I do now at that time, and lying was the first lesson I learned from Sister Lü. She said, unless it's necessary, never treat people sincerely."

"Your Sister Lü is really interesting!" Luo Xi smiled: "So the things that happened on your first loop day were far more complicated than what you described, right?"

"Yes, actually, seven people died in the company that loop day!"

"Is this the truth or a lie?"

"Luo Xi, from the moment you took me out of the company, I have trusted you unconditionally. I swear on my sister's name, this time I'm telling the truth."

"No need to swear. Whether you're lying or not, I could tell from the beginning." Luo Xi naturally knew that Wu Rui had concealed things from him before, but at that time, whether she told the truth or not had no impact on clearing the scenario, so Luo Xi didn't bother to pursue it.

But now, he can 'pursue' it a bit.

"What's his name?" Luo Xi continued to ask.

"I don't know. At that time, he seemed to have come as an applicant. The personnel department received him. I just saw him and remember his appearance." Wu Rui said with a serious face: "Moreover, there is another reason why I remember this person. He was actually the last person to die at that time..."

"Before Brother Mao launched the killing time?"

"Yes!"

"Understood!"
