Day of Imprisonment

For a moment, Dou Dou didn't know what to say.

Finally, she squeezed out a sentence: "Who exactly are you?"

"Throw 18 gold coins onto the left scale pan to equalize the number of gold coins on both sides first, and see if the balance changes. Each throw consumes an opportunity, and throwing in 18 gold coins at once is quite difficult, so you can throw them in several times. I think that's why the game requires five throws."

Luo Xi directly ignored Dou Dou's previous question, but before he could finish speaking, Dou Dou had already counted out 18 gold coins at once, then clenched them in her hand and squeezed hard.

The gold coins deformed and mixed together, looking like a golden nugget egg.

This guy actually kneaded the 18 gold coins into a ball with one hand, like kneading dough, with fingerprints on it.

This is even more powerful than the Great Strength Vajra Finger.

Dou Dou smiled and said, "This way, they won't scatter when I throw them!"

After speaking, she flicked her hand and accurately threw the golden nugget into the lighter scale pan on the left.

In the next moment, the balance changed.

The originally tilted balance was now slowly righting itself.

"It's really moving!" Dou Dou stared wide-eyed as the huge balance slowly righted itself, and it looked like it would eventually return to equilibrium.

In her opinion, this was simply unbelievable.

If you only look at the result, it seems that this weight game is not a particularly difficult challenge game.

Because even if some people don't analyze the value of the gold coins, they don't know the specific exchange ratio of the three precious metals.

But just counting the number of gold coins in the two scale pans and calculating the difference, then making up the difference.

Many people could probably guess correctly.

But Dou Dou had followed along the way, and she knew very well that Luo Xi was not guessing, but was actually deducing bit by bit based on facts and clues.

"No wonder this guy led the team through the ten-person difficulty haunted house escape last time." Dou Dou felt a little helpless in her heart: "Little Fox, ah, Little Fox, some things are really beyond your control.

I let you manage the haunted house escape because this game can create real performance, but I didn't expect your personality to be too soft, and you would often help those players. In the end, you actually met this perverted guy. Perhaps, this is your fate. You are indeed not suitable for working in the 'Company'."

Crack!

After righting itself, the balance finally returned to equilibrium.

They actually cleared the game with only one throw.

A new suspension bridge appeared in front, but it led to the entrance platform behind the balance, that entered the Fairy Tale Town.

The two walked up, the suspension bridge creaked and swayed, giving the impression that it would break at any moment and everyone would fall down.

But that didn't happen.

The two arrived safely.

"I have a question I want to ask you," Dou Dou suddenly said at this moment.

Luo Xi looked down, his expression questioning.

"Before, when we entered this place, there was a fork in the road, and the other side was sealed off. What do you think that road leads to?" Dou Dou was obviously very curious about this question: "Also, since it's a fork in the road, it should be a multiple-choice question, but one of the two roads is sealed off, which obviously loses the most basic concept of a multiple-choice question."

"These two questions actually point to the same situation. First, let's talk about where that road leads. I guess it should be the exit of this game. As for why the exit is sealed off and we are allowed to take the other road, it's because we had already made the 'correct choice' before reaching the fork in the road.

That old woman said that choice is very important in this game."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, Dou Dou was stunned.

"When did we choose? I don't remember."

"It's the choice of 'whether or not to take away the Tinderbox'. I can be sure that if you choose to take away the Tinderbox, then the fork in the road entering this balance room will be sealed off.

That is to say, it is impossible for any of us to reach here while carrying that [Tinderbox] card. Also, my previous statement that the other fork in the road leads to the 'exit' is actually not rigorous, because the game designer is unlikely to let a numbered card be taken away so easily.

Therefore, in front of the 'exit', there will most likely be other challenges. The purpose is to make the players die, or give up that card, because the power of the [Tinderbox] card is too great, so great that it exceeds the limit."

Dou Dou could understand what Luo Xi said.

Although she is an administrator.

For her, who can directly obtain the company's benefits, that is, physical enhancement, she doesn't care about the power of cards, or rather, cards can only be used by Reminiscent, so they are not very attractive to her.

But she is very clear about how attractive rare cards are to Reminiscent, let alone numbered cards.

Any numbered card can be exchanged for dozens or even hundreds of [Memories] on the card market, and some are priceless. She has seen too many things in the game room where people kill each other and cause rivers of blood and corpses because of a card.

And cards like Number 019 [Tinderbox] are the most powerful she has ever seen.

It can summon the gold coin big-eyed dog that even she fears. Wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wants in the future? Who can stop her?

Judging from the previous scene flow and difficulty, the possibility of placing this card as bait is indeed possible.

Luo Xi didn't care about giving up the chance to obtain the number 019. In his opinion, obtaining 019 and entering Fairy Tale Town were two opposing things. Right now, entering Fairy Tale Town was more crucial.

He walked to the door leading to Fairy Tale Town.

It was a stone door.

The rough surface had clearly visible reliefs and纹路, outlining a winding river from bottom to top. On both sides of this dragon-like river were ‘characters’ from various fairy tales.

Luo Xi was familiar with the vast majority of them, but of course, there were also some he didn't recognize as being from any particular fairy tale.

But not recognizing them didn't mean he didn't know.

Of course, it could also be because they were too niche.

Subsequently, Luo Xi looked at the starting point of the river.

Here, there was also a pattern of a door. Interestingly, in front of the door at the starting point, there were three big-eyed dogs guarding it.

"Watchdogs," Luo Xi murmured to himself.

Incorporating the story of The Tinderbox at the entrance, constructing an entrance trial and ritual through choices, was indeed very creative.

The person who designed this level scene was clearly talented.

Because the other party must have put their heart into it.

The entire game's scene layout, the setting of the mechanisms, the various choices faced, and finally, the objects weighed on the scales were not weight, but value, which led to the amplification of the value of gold coins.

"This is someone who understands stories. The other party also likes to savor and interpret stories," Luo Xi continued to observe.

Since 'this stone door' itself appeared on this stone door, and there were also the three big-eyed dogs he had encountered before, then it was clear that the carvings on the door provided a predictive hint for the subsequent scene design.

Beyond the door was the river's starting point.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.吧!

The next pattern was a little girl carrying a handbag, walking happily. Not far opposite was a forest and a small house full of fairy tale atmosphere.

"This, although it doesn't have color, I feel like it's Little Red Riding Hood," Dou Dou came over to take a look.

Luo Xi looked up.

"On the river, a fairy tale story's character and scene will appear every certain distance, and on the corresponding river, the same small boat is engraved. The boat is the key."

He scanned the entire relief pattern on the stone door, memorizing all the details in his mind.

This was Luo Xi's special memory method.

Flash memory, or what could be called ‘picture memory.’

Memorizing the moment he saw, including all the details on it.

This was like an innate ability. No matter how many times he experienced amnesia, this ability would not be lost.

Before pushing open the door, Luo Xi turned his head to look at Dou Dou.

There were some things he wanted to say now.

"You are not a Memory Retriever. I don't know if it's against the rules for you, as a company employee, to enter another scene in this way, but you need to think clearly. This might violate some regulations. For example, if you encounter some danger, if you use your strength to help the Memory Retriever escape danger or pass the level, it may be considered cheating."

Luo Xi paused, then added: "Or I can also understand that even if you encounter danger, you don't plan to help me at all. The so-called playing along is just an excuse for you to enter Fairy Tale Town."

Dou Dou's heart skipped a beat, her expression a little unnatural.

Because she indeed had this idea, but she didn't expect that this guy would see through it at a glance.

"Don't be so nervous. Actually, I don't care. But I want to remind you that I saved you from drowning before, so you owe me a favor. This must be repaid."

After speaking, Luo Xi used force to slowly push the stone door open.

A quiet forest.

The unique smell of damp moss, mixed with the fishy smell of soil, had the freshness of vegetation, and also the smell of decaying plants. These things rushing into the nasal cavity would create a physiological impulse to want to escape immediately.

But now, An Zhiyan didn't dare to move. She could only try her best to cover her mouth and nose.

At this moment, she was hiding in a tree hole located under a tree root. The tree roots were clearly visible. In the black soil, fat and thick earthworms would crawl out from time to time.

Although the moonlight was hazy, she could still see the appearance of the earthworms. The dark flesh was wriggling, and it was only a few inches away from her face.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just an earthworm."

Before An Zhiyan's self-comfort was over, she felt something crawling over her neck. The greasy, cold touch on her skin had almost reached the limit she could endure.

But she still endured it.

She even desperately pinched her arm with her fingers, relying on the pain to offset the urge to jump up and scream.

A centipede crawled out of her hair, its antennae moving back and forth. An Zhiyan trembled, widening her eyes, looking at this little cutie.

The reason she had been hiding here without making any sound was something outside.

Da da da da!

Footsteps appeared from a distance, accompanied by a crisp and melodious female voice.

"Who is hiding in the forest? Come out and go see grandma with me."

"La la la la, I walk alone on the country lane, I bring cakes for grandma to taste, her home is in a remote and secluded place, I must be careful if there is a big bad wolf nearby."

The singing was crisp and in tune, quite pleasant to listen to.

But An Zhiyan felt like she was hearing the devil's call, and immediately held her breath, not daring to move at all.

The singing approached, accompanied by a strong smell of blood. Bang~, something stepped on the thick tree root above the tree hole where An Zhiyan was hiding, shaking down some dirt.

A shadow was reflected on the tree trunk next to her.

Looking at the shadow, it was a little girl wearing a cloak.

At this time, the dark clouds above her head dissipated, and the full moon was completely revealed. Then, a terrifying scene happened. The little girl's shadow quickly trembled, constantly changing, and finally, turned into a werewolf.
