Chapter 24 What’s so special about him
Wu Rui’s life was very bumpy.
A girl with only a college diploma is not tall, has no background, and has no backing. She comes from an ordinary rural family. The only thing that counts as capital in the eyes of others is her very well-proportioned figure and sweet appearance.
My best friends who are familiar with her call her sweet girl.
Priority for boys over girls is a common phenomenon in the village. She lived a very depressed childhood and girlhood. Only by going to school and coming to the city did she get a chance to breathe. Here, she doesn’t have to worry about it every day. Bearing the disgusting looks from her parents, there was a time when she felt she was free.
And in that family that made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart, the only person who made her feel nostalgic was her little sister.
She is the eldest of three children in her family. She has a younger brother and a younger sister.
Her parents only had eyes for her younger brother. Not only did she and her younger sister often get cold looks, they also had a nickname that was exclusive to them.
Loss money!
Relying on her own efforts to work in a big city means that she has escaped from the prison of her original family, but the price is that she needs to hand over half of her income to her parents every month to enjoy her life. The name is, save a gift for your brother.
Therefore, Wu Rui has put in more effort than others. For her, the customer service job is the only formal job she can find at present that is relatively good and decent in all aspects.
She also has several part-time jobs, otherwise, it would be impossible to buy her own private car.
Of course, like all young people of this age group, they have unrealistic fantasies and a little ambition. They think that the current bad job is just a stepping stone and a temporary step on the road to success. They are a transfer station used to accumulate living expenses and social experience. In the future, they will definitely live a better life than now and find a better job than now.
Wu Rui also has similar thoughts. In addition, she has her goals.
That is to rely on her own efforts to buy a house in this city. Even if the house is small, it still belongs to her. When the time comes, she can take over her little sister, raise her, and provide for her. She went to school and no longer had to live in that oppressive and impersonal family.
This is Wu Rui’s motivation and life goal.
She thought that life would be as she imagined. As long as she went in the right direction and worked hard, she would be able to reap the 'fruit' she wanted. But reality made a joke to her. One day , she experienced what she thought was an inexplicable massacre while at work.
Yes, in her eyes, that is massacre.
Like a nightmare and a scene from hell.
The terrifying 'Mao Ge' used almost incomprehensible means to kill everyone she knew one after another. Some had their necks broken, and some had their heads shaped like watermelons. Shot to pieces.
Also beaten to pieces was the beautiful life she longed for.
From the moment she remembered this, the world changed.
She was so frightened at the time that after Brother Mao knocked her down, she peed her pants, opened her mouth wide, trembled, and shed tears, but she couldn't scream.
It’s shameful, but when death is imminent, who cares about face?
Fear, confusion and the pain that lingered in the memory, the moment the neck was broken, all appeared in Wu Rui's mind along with the memories.
When she came to her senses, she realized that she was standing in the elevator.
Still alive.
Time seemed to go back to earlier that day, when she first arrived at the company to work.
But the memory was so real and terrifying that even the pain of broken bones still remained in her body. She was so frightened that the accumulated depression and fear made her scream hysterically, causing the elevator to tremble. Others inside looked at him sideways.
Only one person looked at her with a different expression.
Later, this person became the "guide" for Wu Rui to survive. She was the one who told Wu Rui everything about the day of imprisonment, telling her what she could and couldn't do, and it was the other person who taught her step by step how to kill people.
"The most unexpected murder weapon is a pen. Poke it in the eye. It has to be unexpected and fast. It can penetrate directly into the brain and kill people instantly." The man said this in a gentle tone. , Wu Rui was still a little reluctant to accept it at the time, but soon she learned that humans can do anything in order to survive.
After realizing the situation she was in, Wu Rui said she must escape.
She also wants to take her little sister to escape from another 'hell'.
She promised.
But the 'guide' smiled, shook his head, and said a desperate fact in a gentle tone: "Wu Rui, although I don't want to admit it, in fact, no one can escape from the day of confinement. Go."
"How do you know?" Wu Rui was very unconvinced, and there was a surge of anger in her heart, mainly because she didn't want to extinguish the fire of hope in her heart that kept her going.
The other party didn't answer, he just smiled and shook his head, as if he was answering in this way.
The two of them spent two days of confinement together. Once, they really persisted until the end. It was already dark, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening. According to the rules mentioned by the guide, they only needed to survive You can clear the level at midnight.
You can leave this scene.
At that time, Wu Rui didn't know the deeper meaning of "this scene" mentioned by the guide. She always thought that "this scene" refers to the day of imprisonment, but later she realized that the scope of the day of imprisonment was wider than she imagined. big.
"This world is false."
She only understood the meaning of this sentence later.
Unfortunately, they still failed that time. Even with the very rare initial card of 'Hideout', they still could not escape Brother Mao's killing time. At 11:49 At that time, the success fell short.
Even though he failed to clear the level, Wu Rui still retained his memory and became a 'senior' memory collector.
Of course, she followed the advice of the 'guide' and was cautious, never showing any abnormality or letting others take advantage of her, because there must be other 'senior memory collectors' in this scene. Whoever is exposed first will be naturally at a disadvantage.
Be on guard against others.
It’s just that she gradually forgot one thing. It seemed that clearing the scene should be the main goal, but in the end, it unknowingly turned into a mutual killing between the Memories, because the only way to kill Memories was to kill each other. Only people can obtain the 'memory card' reward, so that they will not become amnesiacs on the next day of confinement.
After many cycles, the relationship between Wu Rui and the 'guide' naturally became closer and closer. Sometimes, she would reveal her heart and tell some of her own secrets, such as her origins and family. , and her little sister.
The 'guide' just smiled and said nothing, and it was impossible to tell what the other person was thinking from his appearance.
Of course, the guide must also have her secret, but unlike Wu Rui, the other party has never revealed it, but Wu Rui can still see some clues.
The 'guide' seems to have a different 'concern' for one of her colleagues than others. Although this kind of 'concern' has almost no appearance, Wu Rui can still detect it.
Wu Rui is also very familiar with that colleague, and he is 100% amnesiac. He does the same thing every day, just like the NPC in the game.
Once, Wu Rui couldn't help but ask the 'guide' why you felt that you particularly cared about that male colleague named Luo Xi.
The guide's answer was very strange.
"You know, if you give a memory card to an amnesiac, the amnesiac will retain his memory in the next round and become a memory collector. Wu Rui, promise me never, never give him a memory. Card, okay?”
“Why should I give it to him?”
“Just promise me,” the guide interrupted Wu Rui.
"Okay, I promise you." Maybe she saw that the guide's expression had never been more serious, so although Wu Rui was curious, she still nodded, but Wu Rui didn't know at that time, what would happen next The other party did something that she regretted for the rest of her life, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Wu Rui, I'm tired!" The guide's tone was low. Although he still had that smile on his face, what was hidden behind the smile was despair and numbness.
“What?” Wu Rui was stunned.
Then the guide walked out, and Wu Rui hurriedly chased after him. Without attracting the attention of others as much as possible, they arrived at the elevator door one after another.
The guide pressed the down button of the elevator.
"What are you going to do?" Wu Rui felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
The guide said: "As I said just now, I am tired and I choose to give up. Wu Rui, remember the scene rules I told you. The memory collector cannot leave the scene before clearing the level. Otherwise, he will be washed away directly. To lose memory and become an amnesiac.”
Wu Rui's eyes immediately widened: "No. Why? You want to go downstairs? What do you mean by giving up?"
"Yes, I am really tired. After all, even he was trapped in the day of confinement." .Xiao Rui, I am desperate because I can’t see the direction. Even, even I am I'm a little confused about where I came from. I want to clear away the fog, but the fog still persists. When did it all start? Where is the initial starting point? How many times have I gone through this cycle? How many times have I become lost? I don’t dare to think about these questions, but I can’t help but I think, every cycle is a torture for me, I am tired. Please forgive me for becoming a deserter, Xiaorui, you have to work hard!”
At this time, the elevator door opened, and the guide opened. I walked in without hesitation and pressed the button for the first floor.
Wu Rui was stunned. She tried to stop him, but the elevator door was closed at this time.
She watched helplessly as the elevator floor instructions went from the twenty-third floor to the first floor.
In my mind, I could only see the relief on the face of the guide inside the moment the elevator door closed.
She cried.
Hiding in the bathroom, covering her mouth, crying silently.
She felt an extremely strong loneliness, and even had the urge to follow along and become an amnesiac, because amnesiacs can forget all this unhappiness and despair.
But that was equivalent to giving up. She had to escape from this false world and find her little sister.
At that time, she felt that she was no different from the walking dead. If she didn't have extra memory cards on hand, she might not be able to survive.
Later, as the sadness gradually subsided, she began to carefully recall what the 'Guide' had said and done. Then she was surprised to discover one thing. It seemed that the 'Guide' had always , just for someone.
The other party has also been observing that person.
Reincarnation after reincarnation, cycle after cycle, if you recall carefully, the other party is secretly paying attention to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi!
"Could it be that when she entered the elevator and said, 'After all, even he is trapped in the day of confinement,' she was talking about Luo Xi? Does she know Luo Xi?"
" But there’s nothing special about Luo Xi!”
Although my heart is Li disagreed, but from that day on, Wu Rui also began to secretly observe Luo Xi, until the killing time suddenly opened, she subconsciously pulled Luo Xi to run, although she did not escape, of course it was impossible to escape, because no one could escape from Survive Liu Mao's killing time.
But in the next cycle, she discovered that Luo Xi had become a memory collector.
"I didn't give him a memory card. This is a randomly generated memory collector. Well, a guide. I want to see what's so special about him."
