On the day he came out of the confinement room, Chen Ran's eyes were exposed to the long-lost sunlight, and he was almost stimulated to tears. Xia Ziheng next to him covered his face: "I'll go, it's too bright."
As soon as he covered his eyes, there was movement in the last confinement room.
Xu Yinian came out.
Probably because Yu Wei, who caused the disturbance in the restaurant a few days ago, was still there, and two prison guards who escorted him came. Xu Yinian's eyes were red and teary, but his expression was uglier than anyone else's. Xia Ziheng laughed when he saw him, causing Xu Yinian to stare at him with tears in his eyes.
Seeing one of the prison guards escorting him, Xu Yinian paused and met his eyes.
Prison guards are ordinary-looking, and it is difficult to find them if they are thrown into the crowd. But he had only seen this face in the confinement room a few nights ago.
Yu Huai pretended to be a prison guard and took out the handcuffs, Xu Yinian stretched out his hand and acted cooperatively.
"Yo, the change is really big." Another prison guard was quite satisfied, "If you want me to say, these newcomers should be sent to the confinement room for a month, otherwise they won't know who they are!"
"Yeah," Yu Huai locked the handcuffs with a click, and there was something in his words, "It's fine as it is now."
Xu Yinian was taken all the way back to his cell, another prison guard left first, and Yu Huai opened the cell door for him. As soon as Xu Yinian entered, he saw a strange prisoner swearing and rudely dragging his cellmate off the bed.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and the handsome young man looked even more embarrassed. Not only did he have bruises of various shades on his body, but he even had slap marks on his face. The prisoner was planning to do business on the spot, so he put his hands on the waistband of his trousers. Seeing Xu Yinian staring at him without saying a word, he turned his head fiercely: "What are you looking at? Mind your own business!"
The young man also looked at Xu Yinian, his eyes were extremely tired, his whole body seemed to have lost all vitality, even if his prison uniform was torn off, he did not resist.
Xu Yinian suddenly asked: "You voluntarily?"
"Is there a difference?" The young man laughed at himself.
"Yes." After Xu Yinian finished speaking, he grabbed the prisoner's collar from behind and pulled him up from the young man. The prisoner staggered and couldn't react in time, and Xu Yinian pushed him against the wall with a bang.
Yu Huai raised his eyebrows, and closed the prison door with his backhand.
Most of the prisoner's face was squeezed against the wall. When he saw the uniform on Yu Huai's body, he seemed to see a savior. He hurriedly mumbled: "...prison guard! Stop him!"
Yu Huai had nothing to do with him, so he glanced at him leisurely. Seeing him indifferent, the prisoner thought he didn't know him: "Brother Yin, you always know him? I followed him—uh!!"
Xu Yinian pushed him further into the wall, as if he was embedded in a cell: "I'll let go, don't force him here, get out of here."
The prisoner couldn't believe it, and his voice raised an octave: "Are you crazy? Brat! Who are you letting go!"
"It's so noisy." Xu Yinian said viciously, even more rascal than him, "Try to curse again?"
The fingers pressed on the neck seemed to be as heavy as a thousand gold. This guy looked thin, but he didn't know where such terrifying strength came from. The prisoner was frightened, and his tone slowed down slightly: "You just came here, right? You may not be clear, but he is a bitch who is ridden by thousands of people. Most of the prisoners in the Black Tower have slept with him. You don't have to offend him. other people!"
The young man kneeling on the ground clenched his teeth and closed his eyes silently.
"Really?" Xu Yinian suddenly let go of his hand on his neck. The prisoner was overjoyed, but someone grabbed the back of his head. Xu Yinian slammed his head against the wall, "Then He's mine now."
The prisoner reacted and yelled: "You fucking...crazy! You are finished!..."
Xu Yinian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly grabbed the prisoner's hair to force him to look up, and hit him again.
"Fuck you!... Don't hit it! Stop! I tell you to stop!... I'm sorry! I'm sorry head office, right? I was wrong, I was wrong! I'm sorry!" Breaking free from his hands, he could only apologize again and again in the end. Xu Yinian let go of his hand, and the liberated prisoner turned his head to look at the room. Even though he was full of hatred, he didn't dare to look at the lunatic again, so he could only vent his resentment on the prison guard who watched the show from beginning to end: "I said I'm Brother Yin's man! Don't you fucking understand?"
"Don't look for trouble." Yu Huai raised his eyes.
His voice was cold and flat. He was obviously not emotional, but it made the prisoners shudder.
The prisoner swallowed, only to feel that the prison guard in front of him was terrified, and the curse that reached his throat was suppressed. Yu Huai kicked open the half-closed cell door, and said to the prisoner, "Go back to your own cell."
"..." The prisoner was aggrieved, and he went out the door while cursing while covering his bleeding head. Yu Huai was going to escort him back to the cell, but before he left, he remembered something, turned his head and glanced at the messy young man, and then turned his gaze to Xu Yinian who had beaten him—the boy shook off the blood stained on his hand, and almost The word cool is written on the face.
"Don't be too ostentatious." Yu Huai said to him.
Both like a warning and a reminder.
Xu Yinian looked at him, and finally nodded slightly, giving a rare obedient oh.
After they left, the young man walked up to Xu Yinian, reached out to him, and introduced himself, "Pei Su."
"Xu Yinian."
"Thank you." Compared with the lifeless look before, Pei Su's eyes were bright again, "I don't even remember the last time someone helped me."
Xu Yinian looked at his slightly swollen cheeks and the bruised blood, and wanted to say something, but couldn't speak.
Pei Su noticed his gaze, and said calmly: "What that guy said just now is the truth."
Xu Yinian let out an uh, but stopped talking. All his thoughts were written on his face, and Pei Su, who was used to the ugliness of human nature, was quite novel, his seductive fox eyes slowly curled up.
"You helped me, and I have nothing to thank you for." He purposely blew into Xu Yinian's ear with an ambiguous tone, "How about we sleep?"
Xu Yinian was shocked: "No, you're welcome."
Pei Su couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed out loud with her stomach in her hands, until tears came out at the end of the laugh: "... No, you are too easy to deceive."
After laughing enough, Pei Su straightened his face, and said seriously: "If you made a move just now, they will come to trouble you. If you need my help, just ask."
Xu Yinian thought for a while: "Have you been in the Black Tower for a long time?"
"Three or four years." Pei Su counted the time, thinking of his own changes, he felt emotional, "My sentence was originally only two years, and some prisoners didn't want me to go out, so the black tower directly increased my sentence. I just came in At that time, I could get goose bumps when I was touched, but now... just don't kill me."
Xu Yinian was extremely surprised: "Additional punishment without authorization??"
"This place is under the control of monsters, they don't care so much about the judgment of the trial platform." A trace of disgust flashed across Pei Su's eyes.
The heavy topic made the cramped cell silent. After a while, Xu Yinian suddenly said, "Do you want to go out?"
Pei Su was lazily propping himself up on the bed, but when he heard what he was going to say here, he met Xu Yinian's eyes looking over him, and finally couldn't say the joke that was on his lips.
He restrained his sloppy expression and nodded slowly: "Of course I want to."
"Then tell me everything you know." Xu Yinian said, "I'll help you out."
"The prisoners in the Black Tower can be roughly divided into two categories, ordinary prisoners and special prisoners who receive preferential treatment." Xu Yinian faced Chen Ran and Xia Ziheng, and shared the information he got from Pei Suna.
Taking advantage of dinner time, the three people who were divided into different cells finally got together. They hid in the corner of the restaurant, and Chen Ran nodded: "Jiang Xiao is a special prisoner. These people are used to ganging up and running rampant. The prison guards take good care of them. No matter what happens, the Black Tower will stand on the sidelines." Over there."
Xia Ziheng: "Indeed, they all live like uncles. A few days ago, I passed by the cell next door. Guess what I saw? Mattresses! I wonder if these people are here to go to prison."
Xu Yinian: "Pei Su doesn't know why the Black Tower takes care of them. In his impression, these prisoners have always enjoyed privileges."
"Maybe they're already 'dead'." Facing the two pairs of eyes looking over at the same time, Chen Ran speculated, "Brother Xia Yan said that the black tower faked the death of some prisoners for their own use, and Jiang Xiao and the others may have faked their deaths prisoners."
"!" Xu Yinian's eyes lit up, "It makes sense."
Xia Ziheng suddenly realized, and immediately patted Chen Ran on the back: "You are smart, Chen Ran!"
Chen Ran pondered: "However, it is still a question of what to use them for..."
"What else can I do? Killing people for money is probably something shameful. Isn't that what the killers in the White Deer Mansion are like?"
"One more thing," Xu Yinian slowed down when talking about this, "Pei Su asked me not to conflict with special prisoners."
Hearing that he was the newcomer who made trouble on the 100th floor a few days ago, Pei Su gave a thumbs up in awe, and after a heartfelt awesomeness, Pei Su restrained his joking look: "Next time you encounter a similar situation, it's not too much You try to bear it. You didn't know it when you first came here. Every year, prisoners from the Black Tower disappear. These missing prisoners are neither alive nor dead. The most important thing is... "
"—All the missing prisoners are ordinary prisoners." Xu Yinian pointed to himself, "Those who have offended special prisoners like me are more likely to disappear."
So over the years, no matter how much the privileged prisoners went too far, Pei Su endured them one by one.
He will always remember that the few people who came in at the same time with him disappeared into the night of the Black Tower without warning, as if they were swallowed by monsters lurking in the abyss, and all traces of their existence were completely wiped out.
"Missing?" Xia Ziheng repeated these two words, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to stroke his neck, "Are you sure you're not dead? For example, secretly dispose of it."
Xu Yinian shrugged, expressing that he didn't know either. Chen Ran murmured: "Not dead... the laboratory, those people were sent to the laboratory."
Xu Yinian suddenly realized: "You mean...!"
"The research content of the laboratory is very special. I am afraid that many people are rushing to fund it. It is easy for the Black Tower to provide a few living bodies to the laboratory. Maybe the laboratory is hidden under our feet. Even if they are not in the Black Tower, they will definitely be able to Send the missing prisoners in." After clarifying the cause and effect, Chen Ran's brows gradually frowned, "It may take a lot of effort to find clues to the laboratory in the Black Tower."
"I have an idea." Xu Yinian said at this moment.
He briefly described his plan, and after hearing the whole plan, Chen Ran had a strange expression: "It's feasible, it's feasible, but... you don't want to avenge yourself, do you?"
"I'm that kind of person? That's reasonable." Seeing Chen Ran's expression clear, Xu Yinian was a little annoyed, "You just say whether you want to do it or not."
"Although it's a little risky, it's the most likely way to work." Chen Ran looked at the last person in the group, "I have no objection, what about Xia Ziheng?"
"Both of you agree, of course I have to keep up with the rhythm." Xia Ziheng responded casually, and suddenly said without thinking, "But the prison food in Heita is really bad, which makes me miss the one in the city center. Grilled fish."
Chen Ran heard his subtext, recalled the dinner party that was forced to end due to an accident, and said to Xia Ziheng: "If you want to eat, bring Ye Qian back."
"The first meal after leaving prison is to eat fish." Xu Yinian said lightly, "That's the deal."
The bottom floor of the Black Tower, the laboratory.
Ye Qiao walked forward along the snow-white corridor. He is the only experimental subject that is allowed to come and go freely, and has the same permissions as a senior researcher. Eyes from all directions fell on him vaguely, but Ye Qiao ignored him with an indifferent expression.
At the end of the corridor, the researcher guarding the door said to him, "The doctor told you to go in."
Ye Qiao didn't say a word. This defiant appearance made the researcher frowned, but the doctor had a preference for this experimental subject... The researcher was dissatisfied and opened the door for him.
"You're here." The doctor motioned to the seat next to him without turning his head when he heard the footsteps, "Come and sit here."
The snow demon was flipping through the information on the table. There were several plates of delicate pastries beside the table, and the black tea was steaming. He closed the file: "Stayed in the room all day again? Come out for a walk more, don't hold back."
After the incident at the White Deer Mansion, Ye Qiao was disheartened. Although she obeyed his request, she also acted extremely cold. The doctor thought that he was too stimulated, and was afraid that Ye Qiao would get sick, so he specially allowed him to enter and leave the laboratory freely.
Ye Qiao didn't speak, but sat down beside him as she said. The doctor smiled when he saw this, and said in an intimate tone, "Eat something with me."
Ye Qiao lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions: "Didn't it mean that the experiment didn't go well?"
Half an hour ago, the doctor said that the experiment was not going well and asked him to come over. Even though Ye Qiao has gradually gotten used to the doctor calling him around for various reasons these days, she still feels disgusted uncontrollably,
"It's not going well, but... maybe there will be a turning point soon."
Thinking of something, Xue Yao's smile deepened. His fingers were as cold and slippery as snakes, they moved down Ye Qiao's wrist, and finally squeezed his hand tightly: "And you are back, you can bear some small troubles."
Ye Qiao resisted the discomfort, and didn't get rid of him immediately.
Not yet.
After calming down, Ye Qiao always felt that something strange happened in the White Deer Mansion. Just showing him a surveillance video is not like a doctor's style. If everything is as the other party said, the doctor should wish to put Xu Yinian's body on the ground. In front of him.
Maybe Xu Yinian didn't die at all.
After confirming Xu Yinian's situation and finding out what the doctor is planning...
He wants to make a thorough conclusion at the right time.
