Chapter 299 I've been waiting for you for a long time
Following the corridor, Luo Xi saw a staircase going down.
This place is not far from the tavern hall, but because you have to pass through a fork and a door, the outside sounds are almost completely isolated.
Very quiet.
The soles of the shoes stepped on the wooden floor, and even if the speed was deliberately slowed down, the sound could still be heard.
Sometimes, there is even a creaking sound.
Go down the stairs and walk a few meters further. You will see another wooden door, which is obviously more shabby than the other doors in the bar. It feels like you are coming from a dilapidated old house with decades of history. It's like the door panels removed from inside were installed here.
Luo Xi approached and looked at the door panel carefully.
There are many traces of time on it, with wear and scratches all over it, and there are even some random carvings mixed in, such as some numbers and letters with unknown meanings, and some are completely unrecognizable. symbol.
It's a bit like what several children carved into it with knives at different times.
Luo Xi did not knock on the door, but stared at the door carefully.
He knew that during the days of confinement, things that looked very 'chronological' might hide some secrets, especially things that were obviously inconsistent with the surrounding environment.
There is a 'reset' mechanism whether in Fairy Tale Town or outside.
Most things don’t survive.
And what can be preserved must not be ordinary things.
The door in front of us is obviously something that can be 'preserved', and it is very obvious.
The next moment Luo Xi's pupils shrank.
He seemed to have seen something that surprised him so much that even he, who possessed [absolute sanity], was momentarily distracted.
The old door panel, covered with all kinds of messy scratches, hides some information.
This is not surprising.
The key point is the content of these messages and the person who wrote them. After interpreting them, Luo Xi was surprised.
But if you associate some of the previous things together and connect them in series, you will find that the information on the door panel is not so abrupt and surprising.
On the contrary, it has become a necessity.
There are several numbers on the door panel, which are engraved in different positions in a messy manner, hidden among various messy scratches. Even if you look carefully, you may not be able to detect the problem.
But for Luo Xi, the combination of these numbers immediately awakened some kind of memory in him.
From top to bottom and from left to right on the door panel, you can find '0', '4', '6', '2', and '6'.
If the five numbers are arranged in combination, there are a total of 120 possibilities.
But Luo Xi instantly locked onto one of the arrangements.
64206!
‘Cocoon Breaking Plan’.
This is what Luo Xi heard when he had auditory hallucinations after becoming a memory seeker.
For Luo Xi in 'this life', this number and the four words 'Cocoon Breaking Plan' can be said to be the beginning of everything.
And this number is more like a 'signature'.
Your own signature.
"So the previous analysis was correct. The mayor deliberately refused to give me a ticket because I had been to Fairy Tale Town before. They really shouldn't treat old customers like this." Luo Xi muttered. One sentence.
However, it is not yet 100% certain whether the numbers on the door were left by him.
This requires further investigation.
Besides numbers, there are other things on the door.
Luo Xi saw a familiar name.
Cinderella!
It is carved on the lower right side of the door. You can't really see it unless you squat down.
In addition, Luo Xi also saw another word that should be a name, which was 'Addaperle'.
Other than that, there are some unknown carvings, or things that look like some kind of runes.
It’s very messy anyway.
Luo Xi looked at it for five minutes and wrote down everything on the door that he thought was valuable and that he thought was worthless.
This kind of thing can take pictures, but the phone and the photos cannot escape the 'reset'. Only the 'memory' protected by [Memory] can be retained.
After doing all this, Luo Xi started knocking on the door.
Speaking of which, because of this door, he was already looking forward to meeting the tavern owner.
The knock on the door spread far away, and there was movement inside the door almost immediately.
Someone opened the door.
An expressionless middle-aged man with a beard and scars on his face. His pupils were glowing with turbid white light. It seemed that there was some kind of force that shattered his pupils and merged them with the surrounding tissue into a chaotic thing. .
With just one glance, Luo Xi knew that the thing in front of him was a 'puppet' possessed by some kind of spiritual power.
A similar, living corpse.
After seeing Luo Xi, the middle-aged man made a strange sound. "You you."
The turbid white in the pupils seemed to be beating, or as if some kind of soul attached to them was affected by some force and became unstable.
The next moment, the turbidity in this 'puppet''s eyes instantly dissipated, and then, this 'puppet' fell to the ground with a thud.
Luo Xi knelt down and took a look.
This is indeed a corpse.
However, this corpse does not look like a 'local' on the Node 2 side, but more like an Arab with Persian ancestry. In terms of race, it is definitely not white on the Node 2 side. kind of person, and besides, he doesn’t look like a memory-collecting person either.
One thing is that there is no card ring. In addition, the other party has a lot of weird tattoos on his body, and most people who pick up memories don't have such things.
“Did it come from other nodes?”
Luo Xi gave a possible guess.
At this time, he remembered the information about Node 6 that he bought from the female receptionist.
Node 6, the plot background there is based on "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves".
This corpse is in line with the people in that world background.
"This tavern owner is also a powerful person." Luo Xi walked into the room and asked, "Is there anyone else inside?"
This 'puppet' saw him , I just said two words 'you', and it just clicked.
Luo Xi didn't understand what it meant, so he hoped to find another person, which could be a puppet, or preferably the tavern owner himself.
The same moment.
The dance scene in the palace is still very lively at this moment. The palace band is playing and singing, and distinguished and distinguished people gather together in twos and threes to talk. There will be a glass of unfinished wine in their hands, and the crystal wine glass is in Under the reflection of the lights, various brilliant lights are emitted.
Also radiating light are the ladies here.
All are beautiful long dresses, carefully dressed and equipped with various jewelry to show your best side.
Because this dance is a place for the upper class to expand their social circles and connections.
In addition, they know that the prince of the royal family will also attend and may find his significant other at the dance.
Of course, a married lady would not dream of having anything to do with a prince, but getting to know some handsome, rich, status and powerful men is also a way to relieve the boredom of a noble lady's life. Especially the kind of widowed lady whose partner died, her eyes were hungry
At this time, a handsome young man looked pale and lost his original composure and sophistication. Faced with the loss of his spouse and The Duchess, who was still beautiful and charming, did not continue talking to the other party at all, but immediately stood up and walked outside.
In fact, he seemed to be in some kind of chaotic, excited and slightly lost state, and he collided with a waiter carrying a wine tray, breaking all the wine glasses on the tray.
But even so, he still didn't care. At this moment, he seemed to have discovered Cinderella when the clock struck midnight, and ran out in a panic, with the Duchess chasing after her. , also like the prince, there is no 'prince' (Cinderella) who catches up with her (him).
But the difference is that at least the young man did not lose his shoes.
"Who is he? Why is he so reckless and rude?" someone at the dance asked dissatisfiedly.
"I heard that he is a down-and-out nobleman with a title and seems to have opened a bar."
"Oh, he is indeed down and out."
The young man is almost He rushed out of the dance venue like a bolt and got into his carriage.
"Go back immediately!" he told the coachman in an almost trembling voice.
"Boss, are you okay?" The coachman is also a memory collector. He has been with the boss for a long time and has never seen the boss so lost.
"Shut up and go back to the tavern as fast as possible." The boss roared.
The driver did not dare to talk nonsense at this time and immediately drove his horse. The crisp sound of horse hooves and wheels soon came from the stone road, and then quickly went away.
Civilians are not allowed to run around in the city, but for wealthy families, especially nobles with titles, this rule is in vain. The carriage returned to the Dark Hearth Tavern as quickly as possible, and the guards patrolling along the road were watching. After showing the badge on the carriage, he did not choose to stop him, but would just curse behind his back.
Bang~
The people in the carriage jumped out and pushed the door of the tavern open almost like a collision.
The gatekeepers inside were startled.
I was about to call someone, but after seeing who it was, I swallowed the rest of the words and hurriedly lowered my head and saluted.
“Boss!”
The few people who chose to stay here for the night also stopped talking in an instant. You must know that the owner of the tavern is rarely seen.
In Fairy Tale Town, at least at node 2, the tavern owner is definitely the top-notch type of memory collector.
But the tavern owner ignored anyone. He walked quickly towards the inside of the tavern. Someone came over and reported in a low voice that the bodies of the female receptionist and the rough man were found in Private Room 4, but the boss looked like He waved his hand indifferently.
"Leave me alone, and no one is allowed to follow me."
Here, the tavern owner's words are the edict.
No one dares to violate it.
Soon, the tavern owner walked to the wooden door that only he could enter on weekdays. At this moment, he stopped, took a deep breath, and even appeared a little uneasy.
But before he could open the door, someone pushed the door open from inside.
Seeing the tavern owner, the man smiled: "Tavern owner?"
The latter's eyes tightened and he nodded nervously.
“Come in, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
