"Change, what change?"
The young man who was asked laughed, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Chi Xin, what are you going to do?" Yu Xiang tugged at the corner of Chi Xin's clothes and whispered, "My character came in from the outside world of 'Chang'."
Chi Xin also whispered back to him: "I just want to see if the warden has deliberately deceived the whole island."
"What are you muttering about?" the young man said, "Well, since you want to know this question so much, just take a look at what it has become outside, from what I understand. It's different."
She thought about it, decided not to reveal too much, and tentatively said: "There is a monster outside, which is festering, eats people, and scares people to death."
This time, several prisoners looked at each other and laughed even more.
The young man gasped: "Did you think I've seen zombie movies all the time? It's such an obvious description. If you want to see my jokes, pick a real one!"
As he continued, he pulled up the thin collar of the prison uniform and put it over his head, making a terrifying illusion of having a head, and at the same time stretched out his arms and kept shaking, making a "woohoo" sound from his mouth. .
"Is it like this? Is it like this?" The young man stuck his head out, "I've learned more like the ones you've seen."
The corners of Chi Xin's mouth twitched, and it was hard to say.
At this time, the guard who had warned Chi Xin just now saw the situation here again. He took out his gun and shot a few prisoners, "How many of you! Do you want to go to the confinement room? "
As soon as he heard the confinement room, the smile on the young man's face disappeared, he glared at Chi Xin for a few times, then buried his head and picked up the hoe.
The guard walked over here with a cold and impatient expression on his face, "Several guests, you'll be fine, don't disturb him any more, he won't be able to complete his daily tasks, he will end up. Terrible."
"I'm your little guard—" Yu Xiang rolled up his sleeves and went up.
Chi Xin grabbed him and smiled cutely at the same time: "I'm sorry for this big brother, I don't want to talk to him anymore."
The guard looked at her twice, then glared at Yu Xiang again, and turned away without saying anything.
Chi Xin turned his back, with a solemn look on his face.
"The warden is really so bold to hide the news of the zombie outbreak from everyone on the island?"
The warden had contact with the outside world. Chi Xin didn't believe that he was beaten to death, but he just didn't know what his purpose was.
The guards didn't let him go to inquire about news with the prisoners, so he hid under a tree to enjoy the shade, and the warden forced him to work in the fields.
"At one point, I can confirm that the warden knows that I am lying." Jing Xiubai said, "If this is the case, he followed my words and went down, and it is very likely that he was fighting. What idea."
At this point, Chi Xin felt a little chilly: "Who are you, what does he know, but he deliberately makes me think that everything is under control?"
"I'm inclined to this possibility." Jing Xiubai nodded, "Don't be so frustrated, at least in the situation, I can't expect him to find a boat and let me leave."
"But he just put me among the prisoners, isn't he afraid that I will know his plot?" Jiang Congyun asked worriedly.
"He probably doesn't worry about that." Chi Xin said, "Maybe in his eyes, it doesn't matter whether I know the truth or not, because in his eyes, I can easily be controlled by him, just like these prisoners. , there is nothing to worry about at all."
"Chi Xin is right." Jing Xiubai said, "This is an advantage for me, but I can't take it lightly, because I don't know how many hole cards he has hidden."
"Just like the inexplicable drowsiness last night." Yu Xiang was brooding about his "absenteeism", "If it wasn't for Chi Xin, I would have been hypnotized. It was slaughtered so quietly."
Chi Xin was helpless: "Even if I knew that I was hypnotized, would I be able to prevent it?"
"I'll try my best." Jiang Congjun said, "This is the only way at the moment."
Even Jing Xiubai couldn't think of another way for a while, so he had to take a risk.
"I also care about that oil well." Jing Xiubai glanced vaguely at the guards around, "Canghai is the largest submarine oil storage base, this rumor is not groundless, I must go check it out, If this is true..."
He had a half-sentence, and the three of them instantly understood.
Chi Xin was stunned and looked straight at Jing Xiubai: "If it's true, what are you going to do?"
Jing Xiubai looked back at her quietly.
From Chi Xin's eyes, he can see that this problem is not as simple as it seems.
Chi Xin was persecuted and questioned, but just looking at him like this made him feel a sense of being tested.
"What's the matter?" Yu Xiang noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and looked at the two of them blankly, "What kind of riddle are you playing again?"
"It's not a riddle, it's just an ordinary question." Chi Xin said, "I just want to know, if the oil well is real and the effect it can play is also real, what are you going to do?"
"What can I do." Yu Xiang was still at a loss, "Just... tell the base that there is energy here, and let him come over and get it by himself? Isn't this a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage?"
"If the warden ceded it easily, would he still reveal that the world didn't even know that there were oil wells here?" Chi Xin was very helpless to Yu Xiang, but she also knew that this guy was always too lazy to think about things. Think deeply, and don't care about him.
Yu Xiang was stunned, and his expression became thoughtful.
Chi Xin continued: "Take an extreme situation, the warden does not agree to sell or sell oil, and all the prisoners do not agree. If the human base outside is very eager to seize this resource, it may not be possible. Take some... very tricky."
She raised her eyes to look at the three protagonists, her eyes were clear and sharp, "What do you do? Do you agree? Do you disagree?"
The three people who were questioned fell silent.
Chi Xin was not in a hurry. She looked up at the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves and waited patiently for his answer.
When she asked this question, it wasn't to test his moral bottom line, but she just wanted to know how well the world had perfected the characters.
After that shipwreck, she had some illusions about the world that she thought was real enough.
Since the consciousness of the world really exists, and these people are indeed the characters created by the movie, she has always regarded him as a partner, is it true
When she and him complete the task of saving the world, what will the world become? These characters who exist only for the show... Still like this, with ideas, goals, and going on with their lives
Just thinking about it for a little while, a chill surged up from the bottom of my heart.
"Forget it, just ask me." Chi Xin suddenly smiled, "I can't decide these things at that time..."
"The so-called extraordinary means only make sense when used at extraordinary times." Jing Xiubai said.
Chi Xin was stunned for a moment.
"I know what you are worried about. In the face of absolute interests, it is easy for people to lose themselves. I have met too many people like this." Jing Xiubai's eyes were very clear, and he calmly looked back at Chi Xin's "I'll answer you honestly, no one can guarantee me, and the situation you're worried about won't come out, because if it's like this, I can guarantee it. people."
For a person like him whose mind is always running, it's hard to have such a moment when he doesn't think about anything and just relies on his own mind to answer questions.
"If what you are worried about really happens, then what I help and insist on is not the same as the so-called market." Jing Xiubai added, "Of course, out of selfishness, I think He doesn't do that."
"Chi Xin is worried... What unconscionable things are people doing outside for the sake of energy?" Yu Xiang suddenly realized, he patted his chest, "Don't worry, Chi Xin, others don't dare to do anything about it. In terms of conscience, my dad still has it."
Chi Xin was dumbfounded, she looked at Jiang Congyun.
Jiang Congyun still smiled, and said gently: "Xinxin, something really happened that you don't like. Wouldn't it be fine if you deal with all the people who did it?"
There was silence.
Yu Xiang shuddered, "Cong, Cong Yun, did these words come out of your mouth?"
Jiang Congyun pursed his lips and smiled, looking elegant and gentle.
Chi Xin supported his forehead, feeling like he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"I see." She lowered her eyes, covering her thoughts.
She had something on her mind, and the other three could see it, but none of them were the ones who suddenly inquired about other people's thoughts. He looked at each other and kept quiet tacitly.
Chi Xin originally planned to find a machine to sneak out and find the location of the oil well, but maybe it was because he was too dazzling to chat with the prisoner before, and the guards kept staring at him for the next time. , making it impossible for him to do it.
He thought he would at least have time for lunch, but the sun went overhead and half way, until the sky started to turn orange, and the guard whistled to stop.
"It's even worse than Zhou Papi." Yu Xiang complained.
On this day, I found a machine, and Chixin had to put this idea aside for the time being.
A guard came over and motioned him to follow the army back. This time, he was sent directly back to the cell, but turned in another direction.
As he approached, Chi Xin smelled a strong smell of mashed potatoes, and guessed that he was going to a restaurant or something.
Also, as she expected, he was arranged to dine with the prisoners.
When they were in line, the four of them still received a certain amount of attention. Fortunately, they were all used to it and felt uncomfortable.
When I was bored, I heard the two prisoners in front talking: "Are those guys from the East District here again today?"
Another schadenfreude said: "Look at this, 80% have done something, and I don't know if he will be able to eat today."
"I don't know what the warden thinks. If he has to let such a group of thugs go to see the oil well, if he burns all the jade and stone, I will be finished." This man was very worried.
Oil well
When Chi Xin heard the keywords, he paid special attention to the two people in front of him.
"Wake up, big brother." Another said, "The warden doesn't allow this kind of thing to happen. He must have his own reasons for what he arranged."
Chi Xin Lala Jing Xiubai: "Sit around the two people in front."
Jing Xiubai confirmed the person and nodded slightly.
The food provided by the cafeteria really was mashed potatoes, a piece of steamed corn, and a bowl of vegetable soup with no leaves visible.
The four of them sat down, next to the two big mouths, the two of them glanced at him and turned their heads indifferently.
"The oil well life is very dangerous, I don't want to go." He talked while eating.
"It's better than farming day after day." Another said, "Although he started work earlier than me, if it's on duty, he can still see the sea."
"Then you can find a chance to sneak around and have a look." The first person said, "Climb over the wall in the middle to get there, and I'll keep it a secret for you."
Chi Xin was fascinated, and a figure suddenly appeared in her field of vision. She raised her eyes and saw that Pei Jiade was holding a tray with food and stood in front of him with a faceless face.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked.
"Where do the guards want to sit, do you still need to ask the prisoner's consent?" Yu Xiang yin and yang groaned strangely.
Pei Jiade didn't care either, and sat down next to Jing Xiubai.
The table in the cafeteria was a long table for eight people. Originally, four people in Chi Xin occupied one side, and the two prisoners with big mouths occupied the other side. As soon as he sat down, there was only one seat away from the two prisoners.
The two men immediately showed that they had swallowed flies, and he didn't care about finishing eating, he just got up and ran away with the tray in his hand.
Pei Jiade didn't care about him either, looking at the food on the plate of the four of them, "Aren't you hungry after a day?"
Chi Xin originally planned to eat, but was caught suddenly, and he took up the spoon in a pretentious manner.
The four of them were full of dishes.
Pei Jiade came to him on purpose, not to supervise his meal. He ate two tablespoons of mashed potatoes and suddenly said, "I know what you're going to look for the prisoner today."
The four of them looked at each other, Jing Xiubai said calmly, "I don't know that we can't talk to each other during work hours."
Pei Jiade shook his head and kept his eyes fixed on him: "I came here to find you, not to ask for guilt, I want to ask you."
Halfway through his words, he stopped by himself, with a look of scrutiny and evaluation in his eyes, as if he was judging whether he was credible.
Jing Xiubai: "When I'm all here, are you still afraid that I'll play some tricks?"
Maybe Pei Jiade thought this sentence made sense, he retracted his gaze, opened his mouth, and looked around nervously.
Seeing that the prisoners were concentrating on the food in front of them, when the prisoner paid attention to his side, he took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "You, there are zombies outside? Is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, Chi Xin paused for a while while stirring the mashed potatoes.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the chief of guard carefully. He had the usual indifferent expression in the past, and his cheeks were slightly red due to nervousness and excitement. He stared at Jing Xiubai, There was a faint hope in his eyes.
I just don't know if he is expecting this method to be true or false.
A gleam of light flashed across Jing Xiubai's eyes, and he was instantly covered with doubts: "Are you also interested in zombie movies?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Pei Jiade's face, he looked left and right again, got close to Jing Xiubai, lowered his voice a little lower, and had a gloomy feeling: "I'll ask again, you're in the daytime, Is it true? Don't lie to me."
Jing Xiubai's calm eyes swept across his face: "What if I am?"
As if he had gotten the answer in some guesses, Pei Jiade was suddenly discouraged, and he almost collapsed on the chair as if he had collapsed.
Chi Xin felt that this island prison was really full of surprises. Whenever she felt that there were enough secrets, a new secret always appeared.
"What's wrong with you, don't you think I'm watching you laugh?" There was sarcasm in her words.
Pei Jiade was silent for a few seconds, his pale face recovered a little, then he sat up straight and said again hesitantly, "Then you have... have you seen... that kind of...?"
"That kind?"
"It's not a zombie, and it's not a human being." Pei Jiade finished in one breath.
The core put down the spoon.
Jing Xiubai's eyes flashed: "Are you a mutant?"
"Mutant? Is that what you call him?" Pei Jiade murmured, "Yes, it is a mutant. It seems that it does exist, right?"
"I don't dare to do it anymore." Chi Xin said, "The warden should tell me to confuse the public. If he regrets it or not, I will look for a boat. what to do?"
The corners of Pei Jiade's eyes twitched, showing whether he was smiling or not: "Do you really think that he will let you out of here well?"
Jing Xiubai looked at him: "What do you mean?"
"Why do you think these prisoners are doing their duty here?" Pei Jiade whispered, "And why do you think these guards don't even want to go home and are honestly working here?"
What does this person mean, is he trying to betray the warden? He was actually brainwashed by that magical hypnotism
Chi Xin was a little interested in this man, and she showed a horrified expression: "What are you doing, if you don't obey me, the warden will kill me all Bar?"
"Killing you is just your best relief." Pei Jiade said, "Make a deal, tell me what's going on outside, and I'll help you find a boat and leave."
This unexpected development made the four quiet for a while.
"I have something to tell you." Jing Xiubai was still acting, "Just treat me as a mess, don't report on me."
But Pei Jiade showed an anxious look: "Trust me, I just want to know the whereabouts of a... mutant, and if you don't leave quickly, only..."
"Chief Guard, Chief Guard Pei, please come to the warden's office."
The sudden notification sound came from the loudspeaker on the ceiling, and the excitement on Pei Jiade's face gradually faded, and returned to his previous expressionless face.
He took a deep look at the four of them, then stood up and walked out of the cafeteria.
There were many people around, and the four of them talked too much. After eating, they were taken back to his room No. 8.
"How, do you think that person is credible?" Yu Xiang said, "I always feel that there is an ordinary person here, including that Pei."
"Whether he is or not, he is the only person here who believes in the truth." Jing Xiubai sat on the bed with his hands folded on his chin, his eyes lighted with thought, "From his words, we can tell that the prison director Definitely don't let me leave safely, if I stay here forever, I don't know what will happen."
"If he is a power user, and the power is mind control or hypnosis, then it is estimated that he will become like those prisoners." Chi Xin whispered, "I think of him as a god, and there is self."
This result is indeed worse than death.
If the warden really has this kind of ability, then among these prisoners... how many are real prisoners
Jiang Congjun looked disgusted: "No, take the risk and try to cooperate with him? I'd rather die than become a puppet and be controlled by others."
Chi Xin: "What a coincidence, I think so too."
The three of them all looked at Jing Xiubai.
"Don't be in a hurry, wait for the sky." Jing Xiubai raised his head and spoke slowly, "I have a plan."
When the four of them got together and muttered, the alarm clock pointed in the direction of eleven o'clock at midnight.
"There's no need to arrange a vigil tonight, it's okay to arrange it." Chi Xin suggested.
Others agree.
"Try to stay awake, if you really can't keep it up, then take a gamble." Jing Xiubai said, "I bet he's still watching me, so if you don't, you'll just kill me."
"I'll give everyone a layer of protection. Whether you can survive or not depends on tonight."
Jiang from Yun's hand gave off a milky white halo, and her slightly closed face looked holy and beautiful.
Chi Xin only felt that his head was wrapped in a warm mass, and then his brain lightened, all the previous negative thoughts seemed to have disappeared, and the operation of thinking became lighter and more flexible.
The four of them got into their own beds, and in the darkness, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Chi Xin opened his eyes and listened carefully to the silence around him.
Sure enough, at around one o'clock in the morning, that faint soft voice resounded in my mind again.
This time, she didn't know if it was because of Jiang Congyun's protection, but she actually heard its content.
"You are very tired, you should rest, let go of everything, and I will bring you back to your happy self."
Chi Xin raised his head and wanted to communicate with his companions, but was startled.
He did fall asleep, but his eyes were obviously no longer clear. Unlike Chi Xin, he was not affected in any way. In this bewitching voice that went against his own wishes, even Started to show a look of struggle and pain.
"Don't resist, just follow me, I will make you tired and sad, go to a better world."
"You fart!" Chi Xin couldn't help but swear, she stood up and got out of bed, shaking the three of them vigorously, "You wake up! Don't listen to him!"
However, her efforts had little effect.
When she anxiously thought about stabbed a knife into his thigh, the painful expression of the three suddenly disappeared.
His breathing began to become long and soothing, as if he had gotten rid of the state just now and entered a deep sleep.
Chi Xin was stunned, a guess floated in her mind, she tentatively called out a name: "Lou Chen?"
There is any response.
Chi Xin looked around: "Lou Chen, I know you are here, I'm not angry anymore, come out."
As soon as these words came out, the entire space instantly produced waves like water patterns, and then the three people in front of them disappeared.
Chi Xin turned around feelingly, and Lou Chen sat on her bed and looked at her with stubborn and aggrieved eyes.
"I thought you were very powerful. You came to this place in order to get rid of me, and let me find it for a while." He said dryly, "What's the result, what can that little girl in the therapy department have? use?"
