Views:

Except for the first day he came to this space, Xu Zhen never met him on his way to work in the morning. At first Xu Zhen thought that there were too many people, even if he met him, he couldn't see it, but later found out that he was Because Xiao Shen is always the last one to come.

When he stayed at the entrance for a while in the morning, he realized that Xiao Shen was waiting for his sister.

Xu Zhen had never seen such a blatant coldness on Shen Si Yan's face as before, nor had he ever seen such a gentle expression at this moment.

He was talking to her patiently, almost all the tenderness that he had gathered in the rest of the time was delivered in just a few minutes. This tenderness was not an expression. He slowed down his voice and coaxed her to let her She should not worry about the future, and reminded her to pay attention to safety today. This kind of cautious attitude is something Xu Zhen has never seen before.

At the end, the girl said goodbye to her brother in a tender voice full of vigor, and made an appointment to see you tomorrow morning.

How can she be truly optimistic in such a place? Although she is still young, the girl has obviously matured early. What she has done is to let her only family members not worry about herself.

The teenager naturally understood this. When the girl's figure disappeared into the corner and was completely invisible, the gentleness he released was completely taken away, and his cold appearance did not look like a human being, but like some kind of weapon.

In the past, as long as he met Xu Zhen, he must have followed him, but this time he couldn't move.

"What are you still doing here?" Xiao Shen, who should have walked away without turning his head, didn't leave. He stood at the entrance to the mining area and looked back at him.

These gates are closed for a limited time. Although the prison has no requirements for individual labor performance, it is mandatory to enter their respective labor areas during labor.

Xu Zhen later realized that this was the first time that Xiao Shen had taken the initiative to speak to him. There was no one in the passage now, and it was indeed the last time when the door was about to be closed.

"Here comes."

A reminder was enough, but the boy still waited until he came over before turning around and entering the mining area.

Xu Zhen followed behind with a complicated mood.

When he first came to this space, he would definitely be very happy now. This is a big progress in getting closer. A good relationship means that he can get more information, and with more information, he can find the one who left here. breakthrough.

But things are different now.

His heart is somewhat shaken, shaken by his previous speculation.

For example, is this really a fictional space? Is the person in front of him really an NC who simply looks like someone he knows? If that's the case then why not pick someone else

They look the same, and even have the same sister, so why not just copy the personality? However, he built a young man who closed himself up and did nothing to protect himself rather than actively contacting others, thinking that survival was the most important thing.

Will Silent Yan refuse to contact others for his own safety? No, he is a guy who doesn't care about his own safety at all. That young man can't even hide his emotions well. You must know that Silent Yan is a person who will not easily reveal any emotions.

At least this is by no means the silent words in Xu Zhen's memory.

It shows that this boy may not have been constructed with his memory as a reference.

Xu Zhen has been thinking about this issue for the past two days. He doesn't have much time to think about it, because he found that after the official start of work time in the morning, as long as Xiao Shen is not near him, the time in this world will pass. Extraordinarily fast.

It is obvious that everyone around is still acting normally, but it is often time to return to the cell at night in the blink of an eye.

So what he had to do was to ask directly when he met classmate Xiao Shen in the morning, and then he walked around the mining area by himself, and it was almost time to end his work.

But now his question has not been answered, and he has no intention to do anything else.

Xu Zhen sat down beside him, and didn't talk to disturb Xiao Shen's daily work, he frowned and thought alone.

The other prisoners in the surrounding area have long been used to this combination. Not many children can enter this prison. It is not surprising that these two children joined together. What is surprising is that the child named He Yi beat him up a few days ago. A prisoner twice as strong as him, his temper and temperament are quite pleasing to them.

It's that boy from the Shen family...

The people in this prison have no noble background. The system of the empire has drawn a huge gap between the nobles and the commoners. The two are one day and one. To make ordinary people like those guys sitting in high positions, then But it's harder than getting to the sky.

To be honest, they didn't care at all whether the Shen family had really colluded with a different race. This prison was originally filled with criminals who had no sense of justice. What they did was no better than the Shen family's nominal charges.

What they hate is an existence like the Shen family who will never worry about their livelihood, so when the Shen family is defeated and the two children of the Shen family are imprisoned in the imperial prison, no one can be more gloating than them. .

It's a pity that no matter how ridiculed or abused, the boy with the surname Shen never reacted at all. On the first day of his arrival, he would refute them, saying that one day he would prove the Shen family's innocence, but I don't know when. From then on, the kid stopped arguing at all, even if he insulted him with dirty words, he would not respond.

Who wants to waste their emotions on a wood that doesn't speak and has no expressions all day long. After a long time, they found that it's meaningless, but after wasting time, they stopped wasting time on that little brat.

But that doesn't mean they think he looks pleasing to the eye.

The teenager has long been accustomed to the malicious gazes around him. Since he came here, he has learned to go from caring to indifference. Of course, it is impossible to completely indifferent, but he knows that this is something he must bear, and he cannot avoid it.

Compared with the maliciousness, what made him a little unaccustomed to was the young man named He Yi next to him.

Why is he so quiet today.

Of course he didn't like him saying unexplainable things to himself all day long, but when the other party really quieted down, he became the one who didn't get used to it.

Maybe it's because he hasn't communicated with others for too long, or maybe it's because this person is really weird and a little too caring.

Naturally, such a little mental activity of the teenager could not enter Xu Zhen's line of sight.

Xu Zhen saw that Xiao Shen still ignored him, and tried to compare him with the person he knew.

But in fact, there is no need to compare at all. Xu Zhen knows in his heart that they are completely similar, but they feel very similar to him.

Once the thought came to it, it couldn't go away.

"Let me help you." He stood up abruptly and lifted the pickaxe in his hand.

He knew that this idea was too illusory. Whether it was the reality presented to him by the system or his reason, he told him that this was a fictional space, and that he was still in a world full of ghosts.

In order to strengthen this point of view, Xu Zhen decided to find something to do for himself whenever he had such thoughts.

The teenager didn't quite understand his words, but after watching Xu Zhen, who had been lazy for several days, finally picked up the pick and prepared to work, he didn't make a sound to stop it, but just settled his own first step at the time of settlement. , leaving behind Xu Zhen, who originally planned to give him his achievements.

So Xu Zhen had the first point credited on his terminal, but it was still far from being able to exchange nutrient solution.

Xu Zhen soon learned that Xiao Shen did not refuse his help, but he was the first to settle the settlement by himself. It is estimated that he had not worked for so many days, and he was afraid that he would not be able to replace the last bottle of nutrient solution and starved to death in prison. .

Speaking of which, he has not worked in fishing for so many days, and Xiao Shen has never asked him why, and he has never worried about him once.

This time, he used such a bewildering method to add an "income" to him. Of course, he paid for the labor himself.

But this kind of kindness that doesn't remind you at all is exactly the same as someone in his memory.

Finding ways to divert attention is not working.

Xu Zhen would always inadvertently overlap the two, and then they became more and more like each other, and he couldn't help but let down his guard in front of each other, and couldn't help but want to be nice to him, even if he knew it was possible. is a psychological effect.

In order to put this thought aside, he simply didn't find Xiao Shen for a few days, and let the time pass quickly.

It was only half a day for him, but in fact, many days have passed in this space.

When he thought that he had not been in contact for so long, the other party would definitely be more indifferent to him, and he would no longer feel that the two were like each other, but he did not consider that during this period of time, some people's injuries are also unknown. sleep recovery.

Just a few steps out of the cell, he was pulled into another cell by a huge force.
