Chapter 4 She hid a lot of information
Luo Xi couldn’t find Wu Rui.
I saw her go to the women's locker room before. Luo Xi couldn't go in there. He waited at the door for a long time without seeing her come out. He asked other female colleagues and was told that there was nothing in the locker room. No one.
A living person just disappeared?
What a ghost.
But today, there are far more bizarre things than this.
Lao Gao's body was taken away, but the police responsible for the investigation were still investigating. This obviously affected the normal operation and work of the company. The manager Du Lei summoned several team leaders and temporarily brought the staff to The twenty-fourth floor is another customer service area.
The company rents the 23rd and 24th floors of this office building.
There were still some empty workstations on the twenty-fourth floor, but now, they were all occupied.
“Let’s make do with it for now, wait until the police have completed the investigation, and then return to our original positions. In addition, everyone remains on duty at this stage. If the police comrades need to know the situation, everyone must cooperate fully.”
Lao Du is still very capable.
As the person in charge of the company, a murder case occurred in his three-thirds of an acre of land, which obviously made this bald and pot-bellied middle-aged man feel the pressure.
Since just now, the sweat on Lao Du's forehead has not stopped.
Everyone was in panic and talked about anything in private, while Luo Xi was observing and thinking about the information provided by Wu Rui.
About the day of confinement, about the person who picks up memories
'Luo Xi' in the mirror at the workstation was complaining like crazy at the moment.
"Sha Bi, you retarded person, you let a woman fool you. She must have hidden a lot of things from you. She used that junk information to get the card from you. That card must be very special and valuable. Huge, didn't you see the expression on her face when she took the card? What's the difference between it and a hungry dog who sees fat? Also, she didn't say how many memory pickers there were. I think she did it on purpose. You tricked me.”
“One more thing, she killed Lao Gao not to save you, but to get the memory card reward, because the rule in the Day of Imprisonment is that if the memory collectors fight each other, they can get the memory card reward. , obviously, the rules encourage killing. Therefore, that woman will definitely kill you, just like she stabbed Lao Gao to death, because this will gain the greatest benefit for her."
Luo Xi is He rolled his eyes at himself in the mirror.
"Can you please stop beeping? You are always cursing me to death. What good will it do you if I die?"
"It's no good. I just can't get used to seeing a stupid donkey like you occupying the latrine and not shitting. This kind of situation should be left to me."
"Do you think you can do it?"
"Nonsense, I must be better than you "
Luo Xi snorted, rubbed his face with both hands, and when he looked at the mirror again, there was already a kind of indifference in his eyes. The sudden change of face made Luo Xi in the mirror so cold. 'I realized something and immediately shut up.
"Ha, if you are better than me, then you are not in the mirror and I am outside."
After saying that, Luo Xi stared at himself in the mirror, with a hint of mockery on his face.
In the mirror, behind that 'Luo Xi', there were several similar shadows ready to move, with evil intentions.
And Luo Xi's cold eyes directly made the other party and the shadow behind him retreat, and then retreat again.
He did not take any medicine and had no medicine to take, so the mirror and other hallucinations were unavoidable, but for Luo Xi, this was not an unacceptable thing. On the contrary, he had long been accustomed to it. .
The doctor said that one of his symptoms is severe schizophrenia, which means he has multiple personalities, such as the uneducated guy in the mirror who spits shit all over his mouth.
In fact, the personality in the mirror is not just this one.
And Luo Xi knows very well that he is still himself, and the reason why he is still himself is because he is the winner among many personalities.
Only the winner will not stay in the mirror and be helpless and furious, or hide in the dark and behave like a mouse.
“You think I don’t know those things?”
Luo Xi seemed to be talking to himself.
"Of course Wu Rui has something to hide. She is very smart and very cautious. Assuming that the information she has disclosed is true, there are only two top priorities for me right now. One is to figure out the so-called imprisonment as soon as possible. All the information about the day, including the rules here, the number of memory collectors, and the existence of cleaners, what does it mean? Why did she use the word 'danger' to specifically explain it? Another thing, at least one must be obtained. a 'memory card' because Assuming that the existence of the day of confinement is real, then, without a memory card, I cannot save the memory of this time. Once I become an amnesiac, I will not remember anything before. When the time comes, it will be the same as Wu Rui said , to become a 'toy'. But why does she use the word 'toy'? What's the special meaning?"
Luo Xi actually smiled at this time, what did 'he' in the mirror want to say? , but still held back.
"Wu Rui is a smart person. She hid because she was afraid that I would attack her and take back the card. Of course, there may be other reasons. In fact, she was right. Any If a person is placed in my position, once he believes what she said, the first person to deal with can only be her, because there are currently three known memory collectors, me, her, and the old man. Gao Laogao has been killed by her, so she already has at least one 'memory card' in her hand. If she kills her, it is conservatively estimated that she can get two memory cards. Plus my card, it is equivalent to It’s a crime to have two memory cards.”
“But, does she really think she can hide forever?”
Luo Xi looked at the time on the computer. 9:17 am.
Less than forty minutes had passed since Lao Gao's body was discovered.
"If all this is assumed to be true, then on the last day of confinement, Brother Mao turned into a monster at ten o'clock, uh, it should be a little after ten o'clock. This time, the time will change. If it were still that time, Wu Rui's hiding could be regarded as a coup, avoiding both me and Mao. Brother."
"She shouldn't hide anything, because the rule of the transaction is to tell all the information she knows. From this point of view, she breached the contract first. So, find her first and ask her. All the information you know is the top priority."
At this moment, Luo Xi's cell phone vibrated.
Due to the requirements of the work site, it must be in vibration mode.
When I picked it up, I saw an unfamiliar number on it, but it was labeled 'Express Delivery'. Connected.
"Hey, I'm bringing you some medicine. I'm at the elevator entrance on the 23rd floor. You're not allowed inside. The police have blocked it."
"Sorry. "Please send it to the 24th floor. I'll find you at the elevator entrance."
Luo Xi knew that this was the courier man arranged by her mother to deliver the medicine.
The other party also sent medicine at this time last time.
As I walked out, I passed by a corridor with glass rooms on both sides. Luo Xi's figure was reflected in the smooth and clean glass.
As his shadow walked with him, he whispered: "There is a question, haven't you thought about it?"
"If you have something to say, you have to fart!" Luo Xi said coldly. road.
"If the day of confinement exists, then there is actually no yesterday, no tomorrow, only today, so mom."
"Shut up, these two things have nothing to do with each other. At least, there is no connection at present. Any seemingly circular and infinite theory actually has a starting point. If there is a starting point, there is the previous one. So, what do you want to express?"
"No, I just want to remind you, you know, I won't say anything else." The blurry shadow on the glass returned to normal at this time.
Luo Xi also walked to the door, pressed the door access switch, opened the door and walked out.
Outside is the fire escape, connected to the fire stairway and the elevator room. A delivery boy is waiting there with a small plastic bag.
"It's mine." Luo Xi pointed to the plastic bag in the other person's hand, and the tanned boy handed the things over: "Here you go, that's all, that's it."< br>
"Thank you!"
"Don't forget to give me a good review!"
"Definitely!"
Back in the office area, Luo Xi called her mother and said The medicine was received, which reassured her.
"That's fine, remember to take your medicine."
"Don't worry, Mom!"
After hanging up the phone, Luo Xi looked at the pills in the bottle, was silent for a while, thought about it, and finally screwed on the cap and put it in his pocket.
I won’t take any medicine for the time being.
Luo Xi thought that maybe all of this, including those strange things, the day of confinement and so on, were just fantasies when he was ill.
But to be honest, I am in very good shape now.
My brain has never been clearer and my thinking is sharp. If I take the medicine, let's take another look. If I am sure that all this is fake and is my own delusion, then it will not be too late to take it again. If not, Taking medicine is equivalent to killing the possibility of revealing the truth.
Some things must be tried first.
For Luo Xi, ten o'clock is a node.
He wanted to find Wu Rui who was hiding before that and dig out what she knew.
The office area on the 24th floor is similar to the 23rd floor. There are nearly a hundred partitions for handling traffic. They are basically all occupied at the moment. There are many people, some of whom are even very familiar. So Among these people, who is the 'Memory Picker'?
Everyone looks normal.
Luo Xi sat at his workstation. He answered two customers, then temporarily signed out of the system, and whispered to himself in the mirror: "According to Wu Rui, people who pick up memories can communicate with each other. If they fight each other, the murderer will be rewarded with a memory card. The result of this rule is that once the memory collector's identity is exposed, Then this person will be in great danger, Lao Gao, may be just the first person to die today"
"You are right, this is obvious" in the mirror. Luo Xi' seemed to have noticed some changes in the man outside the mirror, so he didn't dare to mock him anymore and became much more polite.
"Actually, as long as you think about it for a moment, you will be able to figure out the answer to many things. Wu Rui may not seem to have said much, but in fact we can get far more information than what she said."
“Oh? For example.”
"For example, I probably know the meaning of the existence of cleaners"
"What do you mean?"
"The last information Wu Rui provided at that time, she said that this place is essentially a survival game. The game, if it can survive to the last moment of the day of confinement, which is twelve o'clock at midnight, whether it is the memory collector or the Anyone with amnesia can get a 'memory card'. If it were that simple, everyone here should be a memory collector, but the actual situation is exactly the opposite. The number of memory collectors should be very small, at least less than the total number of memory collectors here. The number of people is much smaller."
"I am Cao!" 'Luo Xi' in the mirror immediately figured it out.
“Yes, the purpose of the cleaner’s existence is to kill everyone here before midnight, or in other words, to ensure that no one will get a memory card just because he survived past midnight. Reward, no matter the memory collector or the amnesiac, because of this The purpose is to ensure that a memory card is consumed by the memory collector. As for the amnesiac, he is still an amnesiac. That's why Wu Rui said that Brother Mao is dangerous, and she must have seen it, and even experienced it personally. There are corpses everywhere here, and there are rivers of blood. ”
'Luo Xi' in the mirror was silent for a moment and asked an irrelevant question: "Um, you don't want to take medicine anymore?" , there is a 'clearance' setting. If I take medicine, it will be difficult to clear the level!"
