Chapter 17 Administrator
Du Lei looked at Wu Rui behind Luo Xi at this time.
He was not surprised.
"At that time, you said that the seventh memory collector who was hiding was her, huh, I already felt that something was wrong with her. Luo Xi, let me tell you, she has cycled no less than me. She was killed. There are quite a few people.”
Wu Rui did not refute.
She didn't speak, just stood quietly behind Luo Xi, holding the handle of the knife with her hand behind her back, like a guard with a knife.
“Give me this cigarette.” Luo Xi said at this time.
It can be seen that Du Lei felt a little sad about this request, but he did not refuse and nodded.
"Luo Xi, you must have noticed that we have just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den. The danger has not been eliminated. At this time, we should cooperate."
"Why? Cooperation?" Luo Xi asked.
"This" Du Lei obviously didn't think about it well. He didn't have any plan.
"Mr. Du, like you, I don't understand the current situation. It's better to work separately and see what we can find. If there are any special clues, how about calling us? "Luo Xi made a very reasonable suggestion.
Du Lei thought about it carefully and nodded.
Indeed, he is not in the closed place of the company now. It can be said that he can go anywhere except the company.
Very free.
In this case, forcing them to act together would make it difficult to let go. Moreover, they had not established real trust before.
Even most of the time, we have to be wary of each other to see if the other side will stab us in the back.
"By the way, Mr. Du, please lend me your lighter. There is no need for smoke but fire." After Luo Xi finished speaking, Du Lei generously took out a lighter from his arms and handed it over.
"Luo Xi, let's keep in touch and exchange information."
"Definitely."
After Du Lei finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Rui, got in the car and left.
When the other party walked away, Wu Rui said: "In other words, the last time you broke a certain balance, causing the time anchor point of all the memory collectors to advance?"
" No, it is only limited to memory collectors who have memory cards and can still retain memories, if there is no memory card."
Before Luo Xi finished speaking, another acquaintance came over there.
Lao Gao.
Gao Shengjie.
Seeing Gao Shengjie, Wu Rui instinctively felt guilty, but Lao Gao didn't seem to remember what happened before. He gave Luo Xi and Wu Rui a warm greeting and entered directly. Waiting for the elevator in the office building.
“For example, Lao Gao, the reason why he took the risk last time and ambushed me in the toilet immediately was because he no longer had a memory card. Therefore, he was the memory collector last time, even if we completed In a sense, he cannot enjoy the rewards of "clearing the level". "
"In other words, The memory collector who has preserved his memory will never go to the company again, unless he dies externally and loses his memory. In other words, there is no memory collector in the company today. If this is the case, what will happen? Disappear? Or continue to give birth to new memory collectors?”
Wu Rui couldn’t answer any of Luo Xi’s questions.
"In addition, memory anchor points do exist."
As for the concept of 'memory anchor point', Luo Xi had already thought of it, because the last time he suddenly 'awoke', he was already sitting at work. Position.
But how did he get to the company before that?
Since the scope of the day of confinement is not limited to the twenty-third and twenty-fourth floors, it is inevitable that there will be a 'point in time' for amnesiacs to recover their memories.
Before this point in time, memory seekers were actually the same as ordinary amnesiacs.
Do what they should do according to their original memories.
The last time he recovered his memory was 7:41 in the morning, and after 'clearing' the workspace scene, the time he recovered his memory became 6:09 in the morning.
Wu Rui and the others should be about the same, and there won’t be much difference in time.
"What about cigarettes?" Wu Rui couldn't help but ask.
When Luo Xi took the cigarette just now, he said 'Sure enough'.
Luo Xi didn't waste any time and directly handed over the cigarette in his hand.
After Wu Rui took it, he immediately understood what Luo Xi meant.
Because she actually saw a blurry card floating on top of the cigarette. Look carefully, there is a picture of a cigarette on the blurry card, and the text below reads: [Fighter Cigarette], status: materialized (can be converted into a card), quantity 1/20, smoke one, and it will increase by 30 in ten minutes. % constitution, strength, speed and reaction. During the duration, you will gain fighting skills (level 1). It will disappear after the duration expires. Please note that smoking is harmful to health and easily addictive.
At this moment, Wu Rui's expression was very wonderful.
"That's it. I remembered it. No wonder Mr. Du always holds a cigarette. One time, Brother Mao went crazy killing people. There were corpses all over the ground. Where was the lighter in Mr. Du's mouth with the cigarette in his mouth?"
"It's just an ordinary lighter."
"So, you came here this time just to meet Mr. Du and ask for a cigarette?" Wu Rui felt that she had already seen Luo Xi's Intend.
With this cigarette, it is equivalent to ten minutes of 'Superman Time'. After all, all physical qualities have been improved by 30%. If she smoked, she could definitely fight a man head-on. Because it is not only strength that is improved, but also speed, reflexes, and resistance to blows
If you have another weapon, or you are a physically strong man, you can indeed kill people easily by smoking this cigarette.
This trip achieved its goal and was well worth it.
As a result, Luo Xi shook his head: "The cigarette is just a way to take it or not. It doesn't matter. It's not the purpose of my coming here this time."
"Huh?" Wu Rui was stunned. Stopped: "Then why did you come?"
Luo Xi looked at Wu Rui with a kind of helplessness: "Why? You are a veteran and have gone through this cycle many times. Have you never thought that there is a problem? "
"What problem?" Wu Rui tried her best to remember, but to be honest, her mind was empty now. , either they feel that there is no problem, or they feel that there are problems everywhere, but they cannot point out the key points.
"Well, since we are already teammates, we should make it clear to you." Luo Xi looked up at the building: "First of all, why are the 23rd and 24th floors?"
". "Wu Rui shook her head, she knew where to go.
“Wu Rui, the unknown is not scary. On the contrary, getting the answer is not the key from the unknown to the known. Discovering the unknown problem is the key. When asked about the fourth floor', if you just consider this issue In itself, it will inevitably fall into an endless loop. Because we don’t know, we have questions, but because we can’t answer the questions, we still don’t know.”
“.” Wu Rui nodded, she felt that what Luo Xi said made sense. , but she can no longer tell where it makes sense.
“This is a typical thinking trap. Cognitive bias will definitely limit the problem to known conditions. For example, a child who has only learned addition and subtraction cannot solve multiplication and division problems, but You can point out the irrationality of the question itself and force the question maker to change the question. But the problems we encountered are not like that. So simple, fortunately, we ourselves are the ones who asked the question, so we jumped out of the original question and asked a new question with another diversified thinking, that is, replaced the original question with 'Why, other floors cannot become scenes'. In this way, , the thinking of solving problems becomes diffuse.”
".Is there any?" Wu Rui still didn't respond.
“Yes, for example, you will get inferences and concepts like ‘scope limitation’ or ‘responsibility and authority’ from the two questions, or if you expand your thinking, if you combine those two If floors are regarded as 'territory', then we can make inferences based on the laws of the forest, the theory of biological evolution and the rules of territory. There are various kinds of creatures living in the forest. In order to survive and reproduce, they continue to evolve to adapt to the environment and fight against enemies. The premise for the existence of territory is competition and enemies, as well as scarce survival resources. So since there are enemies, they must have a 'territory' controlled by them."< br>
Luo Xi said expressionlessly at this time, as if there was a written manuscript in front of him, and he was just an emotionless repeater.
“That’s why there are the 23rd and 24th floors, the subway that Guo Zening takes, and the No. 45 bus.”
“Then what?” Wu Rui had given up resistance. She felt she understood, but she didn’t seem to understand.
"One of the core concepts of the territory is dominance, which can also be understood as control. I told you before about the cycle mechanism of Day of Imprisonment, restart, memory card and cleaner. Of course, looking at it now, that is just one of the aspects of Day of Imprisonment. The scene, and the mechanism that supports this scene, are indispensable. So, who designed this mechanism? You don’t think it’s nature, do you?” Luo Xi said as he walked to the lobby on the first floor of the building.
“I think there must be an existence who has management and control rights over this scene. Let’s call it a manager. Of course, the above are just my guesses, so I have to verify it.”
There is a floor distribution map on the wall here, indicating the function and belonging of each floor.
Luo Xi pointed at the sign on the first floor of the building: Building Control Room, Security Room, Logistics Center.
"Yes, Room 104!"
That's the building control room.
After speaking, Luo Xi walked over there.
“Wait, wait a minute!” Wu Rui stopped Luo Xi at this time.
“What?”
“Luo Xi, wait a moment. I roughly understand what you mean, but if your inference is correct, there really is a master, a manager. "Comrade, it will be dangerous if you go there directly." Wu Rui had a worried look on his face.
Luo Xi nodded: "Yes, but if you want to gain something, you must pay a corresponding price. This is an equal exchange. If you only see the danger and stop moving forward, it will be impossible to break the cycle mechanism last time."
“I understand, your [Ebbinghaus pen] should be able to be used again, so you have the capital to try and make mistakes, but if it is as you think, the benefits may be Very big." Wu Rui's eyes glowed at this time.
At this time, she felt that she had followed Luo Xi's footsteps.
Luo Xi did not continue to explain, but walked over to Room 104. After walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned to Wu Rui and said: "Go to the women's restroom over there, at the door of the women's restroom. , you can see Room 104, which is about seven or eight meters away, and the distance is relatively safe."
When Wu Rui heard this, he quickly grabbed Luo Xi: "What does it mean to play by ear?"
"It's limited to twenty minutes. If I don't come out, you run away; if I come out, ask me something that only you and I know and it's not the day of the last confinement. I answer wrongly or show that I don't understand." If I call Mao Ge, you rush in with a knife and help me kill people; otherwise No matter what I yell, just ignore it and leave."
After that, Luo Xi took the cigarette he asked for from Du Lei and the lighter in his other hand. , walked to the door of Room 104, opened the door and walked in, leaving behind a frightened and anxious Wu Rui.
The latter stomped his feet and could only trot all the way. When he arrived at the door of the women's toilet, he started a nervous countdown.
