Chapter 58 [The Power of Lies]
In Luo Xi’s memory, he had read all the books in the bookcase, and read them more than once.
It is easy to distinguish between frequently read books and new books.
“So, this is actually a false home. Maybe, I don’t live here at all. I just chose this place more than thirty days ago, before I lost my memory, to fake it. After having a family, the memory about my mother may not be true anymore. Then what is real around me? It is simply surrounded by lies."
Suddenly, Luo Xi was stunned.
"Wait a minute, lie"
He held the "Memory" and turned to look at his card collection book.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xi quickly used two [Memory] cards to combine and transform a [Lie] card numbered 041.
Looking at this card, Luo Xi murmured: "Lie, it originates from reality and is higher than reality. When you master it skillfully, you can even distort reality. At this moment, it has completely upgraded. For art.”
He squinted.
"According to my previous speculation, card rings vary from person to person, and the card rings and card collection books that a person can obtain are also fixed. Therefore, if there was a former me, then the other person must also have the same card collection book. Have the same 'characteristic' ability. So, is this the power of [Lie]?"
"However, the effect of the [Lie] card can only last. How can we explain this before twelve o'clock at noon?"
"Unless...ha, I understand, there must be cards in the card system that can increase the effect of [Lie], that is. Said, there is a great possibility that I, deceived me."
When Luo Xi said to himself, he smiled like a complete lunatic.
On the glass of the bookcase door, Luo Xi’s projection was not daring to say a word at this moment.
Amidst this laughter, the figures that were originally so gloomy were now trembling and trembling.
Ten minutes later, Luo Xi walked out of the room.
Downstairs, the morning light squeezed through the gaps in the building and sprinkled on the body, seeming to bring some vitality and vitality.
Luo Xi still ate porridge and pancakes at a street breakfast stall not far away, and then stopped a taxi with her bag on her back.
“Master, go to Xiaodu East Road!”
"Young man, go to work."
"No, I'm going to buy a book."
The taxi driver turned on the radio, and the host on the radio was reporting traffic conditions and some hot news.
Everything was normal at first, but when we were about to arrive, an emergency was reported on the radio.
"Suddenly, a bus in this city suddenly exploded while driving, causing many casualties"
"Our station has verified that the accident was the No. 45 bus. It was located on the Beizhang Bridge. The road involved has been completely blocked. Please avoid nearby car owners in time. Our station will continue to follow up and report on the follow-up situation!"
"Good guy, this is a big deal." The driver was shocked when he heard the announcement: "Beijiang Bridge, I just came from Beijiang Bridge."
It can be seen that, The fear on his face.
Luo Xi, with an expressionless face, scanned the QR code to pay and got out of the car.
He was walking on the road alone with his bag on his back and crossed the overpass. In front of him was a large bookstore.
Dolphin Bookstore!
When he walked to the door of the bookstore, it was still five minutes before seven o'clock.
Under normal circumstances, the bookstore will not open at this time. The sign at the door of the bookstore states the business hours, from ten o'clock in the morning to twenty o'clock in the evening. But at this moment, there were actually several people waiting at the door of the bookstore.
The reason why I came here is because Luo Xi discovered that many of the books in the bookcase at home were bought from this place called 'Dolphin Bookstore'.
In the book "Memory", there is a receipt with the name of this bookstore on it.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but on the page with the receipt, there was a famous saying that Luo Xi liked very much.
‘The things that are most firmly remembered in memory are the things that one wants to forget. '
There is another sentence next to it, 'Memory is just a link in the brain. The memory we recall afterwards is fragile and can easily be distorted. ’
This sentence is like some kind of ‘warning’.
Luo Xi immediately thought of the ability of the [Lie] card. Obviously, memory can be affected and distorted by lies.
Since this book was bought from Doudou Bookstore and was specially included in this book, Luo Xi had reason to believe that this was a very important 'clue'.
The book is in the bag.
Luo Xi looked at the people waiting at the door of the bookstore at this time. Number, gender, appearance and approximate age were like a string of data, flashing through Luo Xi's mind at an extremely fast speed.
In addition, some of these people were obviously wearing ‘card rings’.
"They are all memory collectors!"
This judgment is speculation, but Luo Xi estimates that the result should be very similar.
There is no visible difference in appearance between memory pickers and amnesiacs, except for the ring. However, unless you are a veteran who is really familiar with the Day of Imprisonment, the newcomers and quasi-newcomers among the memory pickers will , there will be a common problem.
A disease called ‘uneasiness with no place to store’.
There were several people at the door, obviously showing uneasiness.
It is reflected in the eyes, expressions, movements and behaviors.
But there are also those who look very calm, as if they are ordinary people who are really waiting for the bookstore to open.
Three of them are very conspicuous.
All three are women.
The difference is that there are two extremely beautiful women, one is an intellectual beauty, the other is a cute little lolita, and the other is a big-chested aunt with a round waist and a fleshy face.
Very much like a wrestler, a heavyweight one.
In Luo Xi's eyes, the aunt with a sinister face glanced at the few people at the door, shook her head, and whispered: "Stupid, I guess I heard the news from other places. They just want to try their luck and gain benefits, but they don’t know how dangerous it is here!”
“Aunt Qin, they just want to protect themselves! They just want to "live" in this terrible place. In essence, there is no difference between them and us." An Zhiyan's expression was indifferent. She was wearing a peaked cap, a sportswear, and carrying a small child on her back. A backpack with no makeup, but even so, her tall figure, perfect body proportions and facial features make her a high-scoring beauty.
"Xiao An, have others ever said that your tone of voice is becoming more and more like Lin Yixuan?" Aunt Qin said at this time.
"Is there any?" An Zhiyan frowned.
"Indeed, there is a slight resemblance, but I feel more that Sister An has become more mature and calm, which is in line with the style of the second leader of our Awakened Association." The girl next to her who looked like a high school student whispered with a smile. .
"Xiaoru, you are getting better and better at talking." Aunt Qin smiled, with a trace of love in her eyes.
“Thank you Aunt Qin for the compliment!” The girl named Xiaoru smiled obediently, and then said: “However, Sister An, you used to be quite cheerful and lively. In the past few days, you have changed. It’s really big, is it because of too much pressure?”
“Here, How can there be no pressure, and I always feel that Lin Yixuan is very strange recently, Xiaoru, I can't understand what you told me last time, why he chose to hide it."
"Maybe. , Sister An, you can ask him, you are the second in charge.”
"I've already asked."
"Huh?" Xiaoru was obviously stunned, with a very surprised expression: "Sister An, have you asked?"
"Yes, If I have a problem, I have to ask it out and hide it to make me feel uncomfortable." An Zhiyan said with a smile.
"Then, how did he answer?" This time, Xiaoru looked curious, eager to know an answer.
“He said that man lied to him and everyone else!”
"???What do you mean?"
"I don't know, I don't understand either, and I continued to ask, but he didn't explain. You also know Lin Yixuan's character. If he doesn't want to say it, no one else can. Get words out of him. "An Zhiyan looked frustrated at this time.
"What are you talking about?" Aunt Qin's big face next to her was full of question marks.
"Oh, Aunt Qin, don't ask. This is a top-level secret. Since it is a secret, you can't ask blind questions." Xiaoru said with a coquettish look. At this time, Aunt Qin also suddenly realized: "Oh , then I won’t ask. I don’t understand those twists and turns. I have been thinking about it since I was a child. No, my dad said at that time that I wasn’t good at studying. I remember when I was a kid, I couldn’t score more than 50 points in math during the exam. When I came back from the exam, I was always chased and beaten by the whole yard.”
“Auntie, You old man has said it eight hundred times, eight hundred times"
Jingle bell bell!
At this time, the door of Doudou Bookstore was pushed open, and a female clerk with dyed red hair walked out.
She obviously wore makeup, with smoky makeup, flaming red lips, and a black uniform, giving her a sense of gothic mystery and decadence.
"Welcome to Dodo Bookstore. I am the store manager Okra. The bookstore scene will open at seven o'clock in the morning. Customers who want to enter the scene are asked to come and sign the contract. I recommend reading the scene rules in the contract carefully. , this is good for you, of course, it is just my personal suggestion, you also You can choose to ignore it."
As she said this, the female clerk who called herself Okra swept her eyes over the people in front of the door. She seemed to be observing each participant quickly, and her eyes would not stay on each person for more than 10 seconds. After a second, he glanced at An Zhiyan and the other three people and nodded.
"Ha, they look familiar. Are these people who came here before planning to challenge that card?"
At the same time, she carefully observed the other people standing behind, and then shook her head: "As for other people, it won't work. Hey, why bother coming to die?"
Her eyes continued to pass quickly, and the next moment, she saw Luo Xi.
In an instant, her expression was startled and she was stunned.
