Chapter 84 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster
Hao Xiuwen is actually still an idealist.
As for Luo Xi, his self-positioning is that of a realist disguised as an idealist.
Hao Xiuwen did know a little about the administrator and the 'company', but not much. He could not give Luo Xi more information or help.
"Almost!" Luo Xi stood up.
"Are you leaving?" Hao Xiuwen was not surprised. Except for him, who had some [memory] cards and liked to display them comfortably, the other memory collectors were very busy, such as exploring the day of confinement and discovering Scenes, conquer the scenes to obtain cards, or even enjoy life or do bad things. In short, every day is busy, and it also comes with danger.
"Well." Luo Xi glanced at the other party at this time and asked: "Before I leave, I want to ask you a question."
"Ask, if I know, I will definitely Tell you.”
“Do you still remember how many times you have experienced cycle days?”
“This. Of course I remember it, and I remember it very clearly," Hao Xiuwen said: "Including this time, there are 43 cycle days. I still remember that I decided to open this store on the eighth cycle day, so I can't do this. Said, because I already had this store, but later joined the spider card business.”
"43 times. Have you heard my name?" Luo Xi asked again.
"Yes!" As expected, Hao Xiuwen picked up the "Player's World" on the table and pointed to the 'author' on it: "Luo Xi, the author of this book."
Luo Xi shook his head.
This was obviously not the answer he expected to hear.
So, I said: "Goodbye!"
Opened the door and walked out.
It's still cloudy outside. It's not far from Sega Apartments. You can go around the intersection in front and walk just one street away.
The alley below Sega Apartment was still under construction, and the pedestrians on the road were also in a hurry. Luo Xi saw the car parked at the intersection in front of him. It was Wu Rui's car.
He walked into the apartment building.
The difference from the last time I came here is that this time, the table in the hall was empty, with no phone or pen.
Of course, there will be no weird winds, blowing contracts for level scenes, or phone reminders from administrators.
This is the characteristic of circular days.
The same day keeps repeating, but every day seems to be different from the previous one.
Occasionally I meet residents here who go out, some make phone calls, and some take out the trash. Among them, there are some familiar faces. These people who died tragically in the last round of cycle days have been resurrected and have completely forgotten about them. the previous memory.
For them, this is a new and normal day.
Luo Xi heard someone in the elevator discussing the death of a little girl in the apartment building.
But obviously, they are just hearsay, but often people will believe these hearsays, and then add their own understanding and embellishment, even distorting the facts with the kind of development they hope for, and then spread these changed and polished disinformation, and never tire of it.
In Luo Xi's opinion, these people are really strange.
At the seventh floor, Luo Xi walked out and heard the sound of children playing. A group of children were playing, including those from Mao Ge's family, and two children from Song Yan and Fan Yong's families. Of course, Wang Shuting was also among them. .
Luo Xi walked to door 712 and was about to knock on the door when the door of room 710 opened and Song Yan walked out tiredly.
She has lost her memory.
However, her nature will not change. She is still a calculating, cruel and vicious woman.
She raised her head and glanced at Luo Xi, then asked her children to go back and do their homework.
Click!
The door opened, Liu Mao saw Luo Xi and said hurriedly: "You are finally here!"
He ducked in. In the room, Wu Rui and Guo Zening both stood up from the sofa and looked at Luo Xi excitedly.
I didn’t see Liu Mao’s wife, so she must have been taken away.
After all, what they are discussing now cannot be known to ordinary ‘amnesiacs’.
“We just talked about Kia Yanan, it’s a pity for her.” Wu Rui said at this time.
"What's a pity?" Luo Xi asked. "If Yanan had not taken that bus, she might not have encountered a level scene and lost her memory. Her initial cards are very practical and can be used in most scenes." Obviously, Wu Rui and Guo Zening just said What we are talking about is about the initial cards.
Luo Xi mentioned the card system to Wu Rui before, and since Wu Rui followed him to Hao Xiuwen's place, she naturally knew a lot about it.
Currently, there seem to be only two ways to generate cards. One is to obtain rewards by completing certain tasks in the scene, including [memories] obtained by killing other memory collectors and random draws after clearing levels. cards, and the other is that every newly born memory collector will produce an initial card.
For example, Wu Rui herself is a [hideout inside the door]; Guo Zening is a [greedy survivor]; Zhang Yanan is a [diplomat].
"Every stage of life is a There is a choice. Some people describe it as a fork in the road in life, and this choice is sometimes made proactively. Sometimes it is passive, and even without realizing its existence, it has been missed. Most of the time, the development of things does not depend on human will. Zhang Yanan's amnesia itself is a high probability event, even if it is not a bus, it is possible. Encountered the same thing after falling into another scene.”
Luo Xi paused and then said: "The same principle applies to you, including me, of course, but fortunately, amnesia is not the end, maybe, it is a new beginning!"
Those words , no one in the room understood it.
And Luo Xi will not explain further.
"Let's sit down and talk." Luo Xi sat on a chair: "We used to be colleagues. Although it may be some kind of false setting, at least we are familiar with each other, and we are We came out of the same initial scene, so we have a natural affinity and trust each other more. It can be understood that we are already a team."
Hear the word 'team' , Wu Rui and Guo Zening were both a little excited.
This thing is very exciting to talk about. Of course, as Luo Xi said just now, if they have a choice, of course they choose a safer and more comfortable life, but there are many things where they often have no choice.
For example, becoming a ‘Memory Picker’.
Now that they know that they are in a false world, now that they know the infinite cycle of days and infinite death, any normal person will try to solve this dilemma, for example, find a way to escape from this terrible place. , at least, to preserve hard-won memories.
“I already have a preliminary understanding of the Day of Imprisonment. A lot of information can be shared. This is one of the benefits of the existence of this team structure. Of course, if any of you have new discoveries, you can also It needs to be said, my request is very simple, do not hide any possible important clues and information, and fully trust the team members."
Luo Xi spoke, and everyone else nodded.
Guo Zening obviously had the desire to speak, and he couldn't hold it back at this time: "Well, Luo Xi, I have a lot to say. I have a lot of things to share with you about the subway checkpoint scene I experienced last time."< br>
“Wait a moment.” Luo Xi pressed the button and prepared to talk. Guo Zening, who was talking so loudly, stood up and said: "Brother Mao, take me upstairs to have a look, the others stay here."
The reason why Sega Apartment was chosen as a 'stronghold' is not only because Luo Xi passed the level, but the scene was canceled because the administrator here was punished for a foul.
This logic seems to have no problem, but if you understand the situation of other level scenes, you will find the problem.
Taking Lao Wang's scene as an example, according to the young security guard, Lao Wang was fired for violating 'company regulations'. This is similar in nature to Zhou Xinpeng's case, but that scene was dismissed by the 'company' 'A new administrator was dispatched and operations continued.
Why was the scene in the Sega apartment building cancelled?
If you look at this problem based on the 'cost effect' rule, it is obvious that the 'working as a worker for a day' scenario is more in line with normal situations. If an administrator commits a foul and is fired, he will be replaced by another one. The only loss is one manager. member, but the scene is still there and can still continue to operate.
The ‘Sega Apartment Building’ is completely different. The administrator is gone and the scene is canceled directly?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
So this incident also successfully aroused Luo Xi's curiosity.
Another point is that Luo Xi also wants to visit Zhou Ya's room. This is related to a clue he currently has. A name was mentioned in Zhou Ya's diary.
‘Dimension Four’.
Coincidentally, Qiu Kui also mentioned this name, and she said that ‘Wei Si’ had already targeted her.
Possibly an enemy.
But no matter what it is, you must find out the identity of the other party.
Brother Mao didn't say anything and took Luo Xi upstairs. On the way, Brother Mao hesitated to speak.
"Brother Mao, do you have anything to say to me?" Luo Xi asked proactively. He knew that Brother Mao was a very honest person and rarely troubled others. He usually took the initiative to help others solve problems. question.
That kind of big brother character.
“There is one thing, but let’s go to 809 first.”
“Before, Zhou Ya’s girl was taken away by the funeral parlor, and Old Zhou also went there. However, when Lao Zhou left, he left me the key to his house. On weekdays, I still have a good relationship with him. I went to help him in the morning, and Lao Zhou cried so hard that he didn’t even have any tears left."
"Where is his wife?"
"I heard that he was on a business trip. I should have heard the news, but I won't be back for a while."
At this time, the two of them were already Arrive at the door of room 809.
Liu Mao stepped forward and opened the door with the key.
