The doctor subconsciously dodged and hid in a dark corner.
He hid in the dark, silently observing the thief who passed by him.
Look how arrogant this guy is now.
Even through the thick mask, it was not difficult to see the arrogant expression on his shameful face.
The doctor followed behind Baili Xin quietly, secretly watching his every move.
It was not until Baili Xin left the fifth floor that the doctor came out from the corner and came to the window where he had been for a long time.
Dr. Garner looked out the window through the glass with a thoughtful expression.
…
Baili Xin walked from the fifth floor to the first floor. Time passed quietly as he walked, and two hours went by before he knew it.
It was not until Baili Xin stepped onto the corridor on the first floor again that s419m asked: "My Lord Host, there seems to be no problem from the first to the fifth floors. They look no different from ordinary prisons."
The sun sets particularly early in winter. When Baili Xin returned to the first floor, the corridor was already shrouded in a faint, dull gloom. It did not seem like the intoxication of dusk, but more like the secret darkness deep in the jungle.
Under the window at the end of the corridor, a figure stood there against the light, and it was unknown how long he had been standing there.
Seeing Baili Xin coming down, the figure shook twice, and a striking red dot and a thin wisp of white smoke swayed in the air with the movement, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. X."
Baili Xin silently watched the man approach through the narrow slit left for his eyes on the mask. When the man walked up to him, he replied, "As far as I know, Mr. X has been taken away by Her Majesty the Queen. If Dr. Garner wants to see Mr. X so much, it should be in time for him to catch up now."
"You don't want to stay here," the other party threw the cigarette on the ground. Baili Xin looked down and saw the red light gradually disappearing under the other party's toes. "I'm right, right?"
Baili Xin: “.”
As the man approached, the doctor's angular face gradually became clearer. "I saw you on the fifth floor just now. You were standing by the window. That's the highest point where you can see outside. From there, you can see about half of the terrain."
Baili Xin: "I'm just visiting."
"Even if you stay with the warden, your safety is only temporary."
"Her Majesty will not allow someone like you to be around the warden."
The doctor grasped Baili Xin's hand in the dark and shook the heavy metal ring. "Even if you have this ring, it won't change anything. Aren't you curious about why Her Majesty the Queen attaches so much importance to the Warden?"
The lights above the corridor turned on at the same time without any warning, and the suddenly bright light slanted down, making the two people who had almost merged into the darkness become abrupt and distinct again.
The doctor slowly let go of Baili Xin's hand and raised his chin behind him, "Look, beautiful canary, your master has started looking for you."
Baili Xin looked back following the doctor's gaze and saw that the man wrapped in dark clothes was standing at the other end of the corridor at some point.
The doctor's voice rang softly in Baili Xin's ears: "I can help you. Come to me if you have figured it out."
After saying that, the doctor avoided Baili Xin, bowed to the man at the other end from a distance, and then turned and left.
It was not until Baili Xin walked up to the man that the expressionless man asked, "Are you enjoying your shopping?"
The voice was a little dark, and I didn't know if it was because of anger.
Baili Xin silently looked around at the man's absolutely standard poker face. It was really difficult to judge what the other person was thinking from his facial expression.
He hesitated for two seconds and said tentatively: "Happy, but I haven't had enough shopping."
"..." The man stared at Baili Xin with his eyes like silver spears and ice cones for two seconds before he spoke reluctantly, "Don't go around all at once, it will lose the fun. Go again when you have time. You should come back for dinner."
Baili Xin's mouth twitched twice, but fortunately the mask hid his expression. He hesitated and asked, "You are standing here, are you waiting for me to have dinner together?"
The man was noncommittal: "What else?"
Apart from waiting for you to eat, is there anything else that requires me to stand in the corridor and act like an embarrassing scarecrow
You said you wanted freedom.
I gave you freedom within the limits of my tolerance.
You said you haven't visited enough.
I also allow you time to continue.
amazing.
There is no one in this world who can make concessions to this extent.
Dijia felt a little annoyed, "What did the doctor tell you just now?"
"...", a very strange picture emerged in Baili Xin's mind at an inopportune time.
The playful husband was late to come home, and the considerate wife stood silently at the door after the sun went down, waiting for his return. However, she happened to see her husband standing not far away and talking with someone else in an intimate posture. When the husband came to his wife, the wife pinched her waist and pointed at her husband and asked who that person was.
The scene in my mind changed, and the considerate wife suddenly turned into the terrifying warden...
The picture is indescribably weird and strange.
Baili Xin shook the strange image out of his head and said seriously, "He still suspects that I am Mr. X."
Dijia examined Baili Xin for two seconds before concluding: "Very good, you didn't lie."
Baili Xin: "How could I lie to you?"
I just concealed part of the conversation content, it's not a lie.
Dijia: "I said before that I can easily see through the other party's lies. This is not bragging, but stating the facts. So in the future, just like today, never lie to me. I don't like the feeling of being deceived."
Baili Xin: "So you knew I didn't steal anything when I first said I wasn't the thief?"
Dijia's expression was very calm: "Yes."
Baili Xin: "Then why did you bring me to the interrogation room to scare me? What if I get scared and become ill?"
"..." A calm expression flashed across Dijia's face, "Dinner is getting cold, let's go back quickly."

On how blunt and awkward the boss's ability to change the subject is.
Boss: Just when I was about to show off in front of my wife, I was scolded the next second.
Boss, to be honest, you have gradually changed from a arrogant ice cube to a henpecked husband. You must be alert to the worsening of your condition.
It will definitely get worse, exponentially.
______________________
Prisoners usually go outdoors during the day, and at night there is no one else in the corridor except patrol officers.
After dinner, Baili Xin sat on the sofa, silently flipping through a book he found on the bookshelf, while listening to the noise outside the door.
This room is Diga's office and also Diga's bedroom.
Although he was the warden of the prison, he did not seek more luxurious treatment and kept everything simple.
This place is some distance away from the area where prisoners are held, and the sounds from over there cannot be heard here.
It was quiet outside, and it seemed as if they were the only ones left in the room.
Baili Xin focused his attention on the book in front of him.
This is a biography of the queen of this country. Baili Xin found it in the most inconspicuous edge of the bookcase. When I took it out, there was a thick layer of dust on the spine and the seams of the book. I don’t know how long it has been since I last read it.
This queen is also a legendary figure.
According to her age and background, she was undoubtedly the first heir to the throne.
But during her childhood, there was turmoil in the royal family, she was torn down from the position of first in line to the throne by her brothers, and she herself was under house arrest for several years.
After she came of age, the country gradually declined, and the king wanted to use her in marriage to consolidate his royal power, so he released her from house arrest.
In the vortex of power, if you don’t have strong enough power, you will be swept away by power.
Even if you are a princess, this is no exception.
Just when everyone thought that the princess would obediently agree to the marriage, the king and the prince all died suddenly, and she naturally became the queen from a princess.
The book does not elaborate on the reasons for the sudden deaths of the king and princes, but only mentions them briefly.
The queen acted decisively. After she ascended the throne, she quickly established a new power vortex centered on herself and brought the declining country back on track.
This is a historical biography, and the evaluation of the queen is positive throughout the book.
Baili Xin quickly finished flipping through the pages and then picked up a book about "National Treasures".
This book contains treasures that are very precious to this country. The reason why Baili Xin read this book is because he saw the words "Kiss of the Sun" in the catalog.
He opened the book and turned to the page of "Kiss of the Sun", and what he saw was a photo of a noble and gorgeous crown.
The entire body of Sun Kiss is light gold in color, and the crown presents a perfectly curved mountain shape when viewed from the front.
In addition to a huge red gem in the front, the entire crown is dotted with many diamonds.
When light shines on the crown, the diamonds that reflect the light from all angles will instantly light up the crown, making it emit a dazzling light like sunlight, hence the name "Kiss of the Sun".
This crown was specially made for Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century. Before her death, Queen Elizabeth said that her achievements and the crown should be exhibited in a museum for future generations to view and evaluate, so this crown appears in a place like the Imperial Capital Museum.
Now the queen is Elizabeth III. When she ascended the throne, in order to emulate and pay tribute to her grandmother, she once wore the "Kiss of the Sun" at her coronation palace. Afterwards, the "Kiss of the Sun" returned to the museum. This is the only record of the "Kiss of the Sun" leaving the museum.
After reading the introduction to "Kiss of the Sun", Baili Xin looked through the other treasures in the book before putting it aside.
The pile of books I had finished reading grew higher and higher, and before I knew it, it was already late at night.
A cup of steaming milk was pushed in front of Baili Xin.
Baili Xin's hand that was turning the pages of the book paused slightly, and when he raised his eyes, there was still a daze in his eyes as if he was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
The man tapped the table with the back of his fingers. "It's already eleven o'clock. Drink your milk and go to bed. The book won't run away here. It won't be too late to read it tomorrow."
Baili Xin blinked his eyes, then realized that Dijia had put on a felt coat without him noticing.
"It's almost eleven o'clock. Are you going out for a tryst, dressed so handsomely?" he asked puzzledly.
The man's fingers on the table slipped.
Nonsense, that's how he usually dresses.
But was the young man just praising his good looks
He cleared his throat and said, "There is a difficult serial killer to be tried. He has admitted to killing five people, but I have a feeling there may be hidden victims who have not been confessed. I probably won't be back tonight. You should lock the door and go to bed by yourself. It's cold and dirty outside at night, so it's best not to go out."
Baili Xin turned his head to look at the man in front of him with a cold look, "Do you always interrogate prisoners at night? Last time, you ran to my cell door in the middle of the night and took me to the interrogation room and tied me up all night."
Dijia: "Generally speaking, the early morning hours are when people's mental will is the weakest. As for tying you up... let it go."
The man pointed to the hot milk in the cup and said, "Drink it quickly and go to bed early."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room.
It wasn't until the footsteps outside the corridor disappeared that Baili Xin took out a note from his pocket.
There was only one sentence on the creased note:
One o'clock in the morning, at the entrance to the basement floor.
The note was slipped into his hand by Dr. Garner when he grabbed his wrist in the corridor.
It seems that Dr. Ghana knew Diga's schedule very well, so he set the time at "1 a.m."
s419m: Host, are you going? This doctor Ghana is not a good person. He hid and spied on you for a long time on the fifth floor. He said he would make you pay for it one second, and the next second he said he would help you. I don't know what he is up to.
Baili Xin: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Although I knew he must be up to something, there was one thing he said that was right.
s419m: Which sentence
Baili Xin: I am really curious about the past between the queen and my man. I guess no one else can tell me this except him. I have read all the biographies, but I can't find any clues.
s419m:…
Lord God, it’s best if you have nothing to do with the Queen.
Someone has started investigating you!
s419m: Um, Tongmei, you don’t know either
The escape system's voice sounded apologetic: Sorry, I can't find any past information about the two people here.
Baili Xin changed the subject: Tongmei, can you find any relevant information about the sudden death of the king and prince that year
Escape System: Please wait, I will check... Sorry, Lord Baili Xin, no relevant information was found.
The young man pursed his lips into a sharp line and said, "Okay, I got it. Thank you."
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the authority of the escape system seemed to be shrinking little by little.
At the beginning, the only thing bound to him was the escape system. It was the escape system that issued the tasks and the escape system that issued the rewards.
Starting from the first few copies, he found that the system for issuing tasks had been changed to something else.
Although the escape system was still following him, the release system was originally within its authority.
So is the survey data.
In the past, the escape system could retrieve more information, but now the information it can provide to me seems to be only superficial.
Am I thinking too much, or have they been targeted by the mastermind
In order not to make the two presidents anxious, I will tell them about this matter when I am more clear about it.
…
At one o'clock in the morning, Baili Xin arrived at the entrance of the underground floor as scheduled, and Doctor Ghana was already waiting there.
Garner was wearing his standard white coat, and he hurried over to him before Baili Xin even reached him, "I was worried you wouldn't come."
Baili Xin: "Didn't you ask me to come? Why are you worried?"
The doctor patted Bailixin's shoulder in a pretentious manner, "So you are standing here now and have decided to let me help you?"
Baili Xin: "Before that, you should at least let me know what you can do to help me and how you will help me."
The doctor patted Baili Xin's shoulder again and said, "Follow me to a place where no one will disturb us. Guards may appear here at any time."
He kindly led Baili Xin underground, saying as he walked: "You should take off this mask. I know who you are."
The young man hidden under the mask shook his head and said, "No, the warden won't let me show my face outside. He will find out and punish me."
The doctor walked down the dark stairs with ease. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood, so good that he was not angry even when Baili Xin refuted him: "You are an obedient dog, so it's up to you. I heard that the warden brought you here today. That's great, so I don't have to introduce you again."
s419m said secretly: See, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. I said this brat was holding it in for bad luck.
Escape System: So he was planning to kill our lovely and charming Lord Baili Xin in a deserted corner underground
Blissin: …
What weird adjectives? What ridiculous TV series has Tongmei watched recently
The underground space is actually very large. During the day, Dijia took him through the passage leading to the monsters, but the doctor is now taking him through another passage.
This passage is more hidden and narrower. It is not part of the main road and is long and rugged.
They walked forward until they reached a dead end. The doctor stood in front of the uneven wall and felt around for a while. He pressed down on the originally solid wall and made a square dent.
The sound of "crackling" was heard when the rock track collided. The road ahead, which had seemed to be at a dead end, suddenly became clear and a deeper and darker passage appeared.
Doctor: "This passage is a secret passage that the Queen opened when she built this prison. Only Her Majesty the Queen and a few of her confidants know about this passage. Even the warden himself doesn't know about it. This passage extends outward for dozens of miles. As long as you walk out of here, you will be free."
"Don't come back after you leave here. The warden is always cruel to those who betray him."
s419m: Does he really want to help
Escape System: I just extended this passage outwards, and this passage really leads to the outside of the prison. He didn’t lie.
s419m: So why did you suddenly change your personality
After the doctor finished speaking, he waited for Baili Xin's reply, but he did not receive the expected tears of gratitude or the exaggerated voice of the other party. The young man just asked a question that he had long forgotten in an inquiring tone: "Why does Her Majesty the Queen care so much about the warden? She even built a secret passage here."
"Hahaha, so this is what you want to know." The doctor laughed wildly twice, and the sound bounced off the narrow tunnel, expanding into an echo and returning to their surroundings. "No wonder you are still hesitating whether to leave. It turns out you have fallen in love with the warden."
"What a pitiful little thing, even more pitiful than me. For love, he even wants to give up his freedom."
"But your love is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the warden. You are just a substitute. No one can replace the position of the warden's white moonlight."
Baili Xin: “???”
Black question mark face.
Who? Emperor Jia? There is white moonlight
Doctor: "Mr. Warden doesn't look his age, but he is actually not much older than Her Majesty the Queen."
"Because of his youthful appearance, many people secretly call the warden a monster."
"When the Queen first ascended the throne, she was weak and alone. He stood by her side and cleared the way for her. A large part of the Queen's current glory comes from the warden's bloody battles on the battlefield."
"Just think about it, if an eighteen-year-old girl doesn't have such a mad dog by her side, how can she sit firmly on the throne?"
"There are secret rumors in the palace that the warden and the queen have an unusual relationship, but the warden's humble origins make him unworthy of the noble queen, so the two did not end up together. But even so, the warden never had any rebellious thoughts. He has always been loyal to protect the queen, supporting her from a young girl to a queen who looks down on all the ministers. He watched her get married and have children, and finally buried the unfulfilled love in his heart."
"Because of this love, he always obeyed the queen's orders. Even when the civil strife was over and there was no need for war, he still obeyed the queen's orders and came to such a remote place, willingly becoming the owner of a prison."
"Although I admire the warden, I have to say that his epic love story really makes me sick." The doctor said sarcastically, "A hero who is so decisive in killing on the battlefield has become a slave to love."
"But what did the Queen do?"
"She herself didn't want the warden anymore, and as a result, she didn't allow anyone else to be around the warden."
"If anyone has a close relationship with the warden, the queen will intervene immediately."
"Do you think the warden favors you now? He is just using you to provoke the queen and gain her attention."
Baili Xin: "..."
The story is well told, don’t tell it next time.
If Baili Xin didn't know Dijia so well, he would have been fooled by the doctor.
It turns out that unofficial history and anecdotes cannot be trusted, they are too ridiculous.
Although it was not credible, at least he got some useful information from the doctor's story.
Diga has been here since the queen first ascended the throne.
The queen seems to have an incomprehensible desire to control Dijia.
Although what the doctor said was nonsense, maybe he knew the cause of death of the king and the prince
"It was because the king and the prince died suddenly that the queen was crowned. Since you know so many secrets, do you know the reason for their sudden death?"
"Then you really asked the right person. It was the warden, the loyal dog, who killed them for the queen." The doctor pulled a cruel smile on his face. "See clearly, this is the real warden, an executioner who can easily kill for love, not a decent savior at all. The queen should have noticed you during this visit. If you don't leave now, the queen will definitely order the warden to kill you personally. Don't regret it then."
Baili Xin: "You also like the warden, aren't you afraid that the queen will order the warden to kill you?"
"I'm different from you," the doctor said with an arrogant look. "I know my limits. Although I admire the warden, I won't get close to him. I'll just watch him from a distance. Besides, I'm the queen's confidant. It was the queen who placed me next to the warden, and the warden knew this from the beginning. From time to time, I will report to Her Majesty the Queen about what happened to the warden here. I'm useful and sensible, and the queen won't kill me."
"You are different. As soon as you came, you wanted to monopolize him. That's why I can live, but your fate is death."
Baili Xin: "..."
He seemed to have heard some comments from the fan circle
The doctor spoke for a long time, swallowed with a dry mouth, patted Baili Xin's shoulder and said earnestly: "I am doing this for your own good, don't hesitate, leave quickly. There will be no gap like tonight for a long time, this is your only chance to escape."
s419m: Master Host, although it is a bit aggrieved to be led by the nose, it seems that it will not be a loss for us if we can leave here. We are not abandoning or betraying the Lord God by doing this. He will follow us out after we leave this instance. You can explain it to him properly at that time. He will understand you.
Escape System: I agree with the dual CPU! More than two days have passed since the game started. If you can't complete the mission, you're done. This time you won't even have the chance to go to Eternal Diamond Mountain!
Baili Xin looked into the deep tunnel. It was dark and damp inside, and cold and damp air continued to emanate out.
Seeing that the young man just stood at the door and didn't go in after he had said so much, the doctor became anxious.
The hand he placed on Baili Xin's shoulder suddenly changed from patting to pushing, and he used all his strength to push the other person inside.
He saw the young man stagger a few steps, standing in the dark tunnel and looking back at him.
Because it was too dark around him and the other person was wearing a mask, he couldn't see the expression on the young man's face at the moment.
But who cares.
Just go in.
"I've helped you a bit, you have to walk the rest of the way on your own!" The doctor clenched his fist and raised his arm to encourage the young man, "Come on, there's no turning back for me now, but you can too! Take my share of freedom and leave here to start a new life!"
…
Baili Xin watched the doctor happily close the stone door: Does he think he is a good actor
s419m: Maybe it’s because I’m too narcissistic.
Baili Xin looked at the dark tunnel in front of him, then looked at the stone door behind him, turned around and walked to the stone door.
The escape system was a little confused: Lord Baili Xin, aren’t you going to leave
Baili Xin raised his arm and groped and pressed on the wall. It was all my fault for being too soft-hearted and unable to bear to see others suffer.
Escape System:? I don’t understand, but what are you doing now
Baili Xin: Since this tunnel was left by the queen at that time, it was for the convenience of entering and exiting. Since it is for entering and exiting, there should be mechanisms inside and outside.
As soon as he finished speaking, his fingertips pressed on a groove.
As the square stones sank into the stone wall, the originally closed stone door slowly opened again with a "click".
The doctor was humming a song and walking happily outside.
He is in a very good mood now.
The tunnel was indeed originally built to allow for covert travel to and from the prison, but problems arose after its completion.
For some unknown reason, the souls of those extremely vicious murderers who were executed underground were all gathered in this tunnel. Although they could not leave the tunnel, they carried with them the cruelty and bloodthirstiness of their human days.
Once someone enters the tunnel, they will go crazy and will not stop until they tear that person into pieces.
That despicable thief would not be able to leave here at all, he would be devoured silently by the evil spirits.
Doctor Garner felt happy for no reason when he thought that the bedbugs that had troubled him for days were finally solved. "You want to compete with me for the warden? Are you worthy? Go feed the evil spirits in the tunnel! Hahahahaha!"
Just when he took two steps away, the wall behind him suddenly made a familiar "crack" sound.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Doctor Garner stopped walking. He stared at the young man who had returned with wide eyes in surprise: "You, you, you, how could you open this door? No, now is not the time to talk about this, why are you back again! "
The young man walked up to the doctor with a smile and took the doctor's arm, "How can I be happy alone?"
"You have helped me so much, I cannot be ungrateful, and I cannot bear to see others suffer. Let us go together, sharing the good and the bad."
The doctor was dragged into the tunnel by the young man. He struggled hard, but found that the young man was incredibly strong. He was like a chick caught in the claws of an eagle, and let the other party drag him to the entrance of the tunnel.
The doctor's pupils trembled, his face was full of fear, and he screamed: "Let me go, I don't want to go in! Let me go!"
Don't come over here!

Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Mr. Xin, how can you be so cruel? You take other people's paths and leave them with no way to go. I'm going to die of laughter, my family members.
