Chapter 330 Encounter
“The call came very suddenly. I didn’t expect Zhou Xinpeng to call me at the time. You know, since we cleared the level scene of ‘Sega Apartment Building’ last time, Zhou Xinpeng Because it violated the regulations, He was executed on the spot by some force. On the next cycle day, he was resurrected, but became amnesiac, and his daughter still committed suicide. This is different from the previous situation where his daughter was still hanging on. Regarding this matter, I talked to You said it." Liu Mao said seriously.
Luo Xi nodded.
Brother Mao did tell himself about this matter as soon as he found out about it.
“After that, I didn’t pay attention to this matter, because the cycle days are repeated continuously, so in the next few cycle days, we did our things. I went out early in the morning and went to the apartment building. I really don’t know the situation.”
"I didn't know until Zhou Xinpeng called me that this guy had become a memory collector at some point. He also said that his daughter was missing and wanted me to help him."
"I'm very strange. , because I know the necessary conditions for becoming a memory picker, either entering an initial scene, and luckily being randomly assigned the last memory by the scene; or, getting a [memory]. Just like me, you gave it to me I A piece of [memory] made me embark on this path."
"But the scene in the Sega apartment building has been abolished. How did Zhou Xinpeng become a memory collector? Moreover, how did he know about me? Yes. I asked him on the phone at that time, and he said that we would discuss it in detail, and the agreed meeting address is here. "
In this case, Fatty Qian and Luo Xi said that there is nothing special about this situation. place.
“Later we discussed it and felt that it was necessary to investigate this matter, but for the sake of safety, we still left Qian Fatty outside. A few of us came in and did see Zhou Xinpeng, but at that time his The situation is very strange”
"He doesn't remember contacting you, right?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.
Brother Mao looked surprised and nodded: "Yes, we arrived at the entrance of Shuhai Park at the agreed time, but without waiting for Zhou Xinpeng, Ke Lan decided to go in first to investigate. As a result, he met him inside , he was in a trance at the time, and his state was very abnormal. When I asked him, he actually denied calling me, but he was indeed looking for him. Daughter"
"What did he say?"
"Lao Zhou said that his daughter was missing, but he said that he knew that his daughter was in this forest. He looks like a hysterical madman, with his hair scattered, his face pale, and his eyes bloodshot."
"Then what?"
"In that case, it was impossible to communicate with him normally. He just kept mumbling, 'My daughter is here,' repeatedly. We decided to take him with us, but later..." Mao Ge said at this time. Also showing confusion.
“What happened?”
“We got separated.”
“Zhou Xinpeng ran away?”
“It’s not just him, it’s all of us Man, that feeling is very strange, like drinking alcohol, like being in a trance, and realizing that I am the only one left. In the forest, the other people were missing. Before that, Wu Rui was tainted with a curse because she opened a shrine. We looked for her and finally found her hanging from a tree with others. They got separated not long after that. Later, I was also contaminated with the curse because of opening the shrine.”
With Brother Mao's detailed explanation, Luo Xi already had an understanding of the process of their first group destruction.
"On the second cycle day, Zhou Xinpeng disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. It was like they had never appeared before. Do you know what the weirdest thing is?" Brother Mao looked pale at this time, You could tell that this incident scared him.
Because of the unknown, I feel scared.
But Luo Xi will not be afraid, he will only be curious.
“What is it?”
"Except for us who collect memories, no one else remembers Zhou Xinpeng's family. I asked my wife, children, and neighbors, and they said that no one had ever lived in Room 809 of the Sega Apartment Building."
"Room 809, have you checked it?" Luo Xi knew at this time why Brother Mao had that expression just now.
This incident, even within the confinement period, was too weird and terrifying.
A neighbor who existed, disappeared.
The point is not the disappearance, but that no one remembers them after they disappeared.
Except for those who remember.
Because recalling people’s memories can be protected by [memory].
But not others.
"Luo Xi, what on earth are we? Why can even things like memory be rewritten and deleted casually, erasing two people, a father and daughter, who were originally living in the world? Erasing it is like pencil writing on paper being erased by an eraser." Brother Mao's voice was trembling when he said this.
He is scared.
Unfortunately, Luo Xi couldn't empathize with him.
"That is to say, you have checked room 809 and it is empty." Luo Xi guessed the answer.
"Yes!" Liu Mao raised his head and took a deep breath to calm down. Even though two cycle days had passed, it was obvious that he still couldn't let go: "The room is empty. Yes, you know? I can tell the difference between a room that has been cleaned and a room that has been idle for a long time. Come on, I'm not a fool. The dust in that house is very thick. No one has lived in it for at least a few years. I even checked the electric meter. There is no record. No one remembers them except me. "
"And me!" Luo Xi walked over and patted Brother Mao on the shoulder.
It can be seen that Brother Mao is very scared.
This incident obviously had a huge psychological impact on him, like a sharp knife cutting hard into the softest part. "What kind of hell is this world? Luo Xi, you know, I have a weird memory that almost drove me crazy at the time. It was you who invited a hypnotist to save me. I don't remember those memories, but I know , Memory is no longer trustworthy in this place." Brother Mao's face was full of fatigue and fear, and his eyes were bloodshot: "So, what is true and what is false? What will we become in the future? , what was it like originally? Xiao Guo said that what he fears most is that after paying a huge price and effort, everything will return to the starting point. If we lose our memory, we will forget everything before, friendship and hard work. The target, Luo Xi, this is terrible, we may have tasted it countless times, but we don’t know this time.”
Brother Mao is shaking.
It has nothing to do with rain.
That is the despair and fear from deep inside.
"It's a rain of blood!"
At this time Luo Xi said.
“What?” Brother Mao was stunned.
"In addition to catalyzing and transforming the attributes of certain shrines, blood rain also has another function. In conjunction with this forest, it can induce emotions such as despair!" Luo Xi sighed: "Sorry, I don't I would be desperate, so I ignored this before. In addition, regarding the missing Zhou Xinpeng and his daughter, I also roughly know why they did not appear in 809, because they were trapped in Here, as for the uninhabited Room 809, it is just a mechanism. In fact, there is no need for you to be so desperate. The real despair is that even [memory] does not exist. By then, everyone will be amnesiac and no one will realize it. When I was trapped on the same day, I thought, that was despair, but not now, at least in my opinion, it is far from it."
Luo Xi patted Brother Mao on the shoulder.
"Let's go, I don't have enough time."
The curse that haunted Luo Xi has invaded more than half of his body.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
From Luo Xi's perspective, half of the opponent's body was inside his body, and the remaining half of his body was lying on his back.
And this curse is still a familiar face.
Wu Rui!
"It's best to find Wu Rui first, and it's best for her to go to the stone tower shrine while she's contaminated by the curse and exchange the curse." Luo Xizheng was talking when he suddenly noticed someone walking on the road in the forest in front of him. Two figures.
As the other party gets closer, each other can see each other clearly.
"Luo Xi!" Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui became excited, and they sped up.
"Brother Mao, look, we are lucky." Luo Xi also said.
A few minutes later, Luo Xi took a few of them and quickly returned to the Stone Tower Shrine. Of course, the precautions here were also explained in advance.
The same goes for the opposite. Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui also described their previous experiences concisely.
"The tall and thin umbrella-holding monster? The bell on the black umbrella. With its powerful strength and weird abilities, it can easily plunder the memories of other people. Anyone who encounters it will not remember that they have encountered it. That's right!" Luo Xi nodded: "In this way, many of the previous problems can be explained."
"We were able to escape entirely due to luck. At that time, it was already difficult for me to maintain the demonic appearance of a witch. If someone else hadn't attracted the monster, we would not have been able to escape." Lin Qiqi looked solemn. , she knew very well how powerful that monster was, so after noticing that Luo Xi didn't seem to care, she reminded him specifically.
“According to the description, the black umbrella monster will not kill people, but will only plunder a little memory. If you can escape from it, it will even 'return' the memories it previously plundered, as Wu Rui's situation illustrates. This way, the design of this scene is not so boring.”
It was obvious that Luo Xi didn't listen at all.
Lin Qiqi was helpless.
But she also knew that this was the case. Many things that seemed serious to others, even to her, seemed to be immediately downgraded to an understatement when it came to Luo Xi.
"So, have you discovered the monster's weakness?" Luo Xi asked at this time.
“Weakness?” Lin Qiqi was stunned.
She obviously also knows that the more powerful the settings in the level scene, including the monsters, are, the greater their weaknesses will be.
She knows this rule.
But to be honest, in that situation, her fear was aroused and she couldn't patiently observe at all.
"I don't know." Lin Qiqi told the truth.
"It doesn't matter, I have some speculations, but I need to actually find it before I can be sure."
According to what Luo Xi meant, if the black umbrella monster didn't look for him, he would look for him.
"Sure enough, people are different." Lin Qiqi glanced at Wu Rui over there.
When the other party discovered the black umbrella monster, he was extremely desperate and almost desperate.
As a result, when it comes to Luo Xi, the terrifying monster seems to have become his 'prey'.
