Stabilizing Madness

Chapter 9: hypocrite

Views:

Xu Qingran wasn't talking nonsense.

In his previous life, he had been harassed by both the same sex and the opposite sex since he had grown into a teenager. Whether it was drugging, trickery, or traps, soft tactics, or force, he had encountered almost all of them.

Fortunately, he already had the power of thunder to protect himself at that time, and those who tried to harm him all died in his hands in the end.

Thinking of this, he looked at the interrogator named Niu in front of him again.

Therefore, if this officer really dared to touch him, he would skin him alive first, even if his tendons and bones would be pulled out.

The man on the other side of the table did not dislike or rebuke his unfriendly attitude, but simply said, "No, I'm not interested in someone like you."

The smile on his face was just the right amount of gentle, and he sat upright in a leisurely manner, fully demonstrating the words of elegance, education, and gentlemanly demeanor. With such a clear and gentle tone, it seemed that no matter what he said, no one would feel offended.

Only those deep blue eyes seemed bottomless.

Xu Qingran looked into his eyes without saying a word.

What a hypocrite who is really hard to like.

"The person in charge should have told you why you were sent in." His interrogator had only a pen in his hand, and it looked like he had just pulled out a prop to prove that he was working before coming out of the office.

Even the questions were casual: "Tell me again what you did."

Xu Qingran thought for a moment and replied calmly, "On the day of my brother's engagement, I sent a wreath of blessings to the scene. I was worried that the atmosphere would be too cold, so I hired someone to liven it up. Then I also sent a letter to my future brother-in-law, who is also my ex-boyfriend, to express my feelings and blessings."

system:"?"

"My dear host, what are you talking about? Such a good opportunity to explain yourself, you didn't do those things!"

Xu Qingran: "I have, I have done it."

system:"… "

The man smiled and asked, "Is that all?"

His tone was quite nonchalant, as if he was just saying it casually, but Xu Qingran couldn't help but think of those people in the abandoned factory in South District 13.

Then he replied calmly, "Right, so the commander also thinks that I should be let go."

The man laughed again: "Then I need to hear your current feelings first."

"What do you think?" Xu Qingran raised his eyebrows slightly, "I regret it very much."

"I regret that I only sent a letter instead of going there in person to smash the scene."

system:"… "

The handsome interrogator held his index finger and tapped the smooth desktop several times before speaking after a long while: "If you want to leave, you should say that you regret not controlling your emotions, regretting your momentary impulse, and regretting having pessimistic thoughts."

"Of course, if you don't want to leave, you can just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xu Qingran listened to the standard answer given by the man and suddenly asked, "Officer Niu, have you heard of Shen Tingyu?"

The fake name and the real name suddenly appeared in the same sentence. The man was silent for a few seconds and replied, "I think there should be few people in the empire who don't know him now."

Xu Qingran added: "I heard that he is also an E-type from this evil tower. I also heard that he is the only prisoner so far who handed in a perfect 'answer sheet' before leaving."

"I just want to ask you, sir, do you think this record can be broken this year?"

Shen Tingyu naturally understood the metaphor behind his question.

"Okay, you can go," he said, without giving a yes or no answer.

Xu Qingran was a little surprised. After all, he felt like he had only sat down for a short time.

Even compared to the average time he had just spent in the waiting room waiting for other batches to finish, it was a bit different. But he was also happy to finish early, so after the man gave his instructions, he left without any regrets.

After Xu Qingran left, Shen Tingyu sat in the room for a long time, his eyelids drooping, as if thinking. Until the young examiner at the door handed him a light board and asked him to give the evaluation results for the young man he had just interrogated.

His eyes stayed on the blank page for a few seconds, he picked up the pen and wrote a few words on it, then stood up and patted the young examiner on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, he left the small room with steady and leisurely steps, and it was unknown where in the evil tower he was going.

The young examiner looked down and saw a short sentence written in a flamboyant style.

[Need to strengthen strict discipline. ]

·

Xu Qingran never dreamed that his seemingly easy interrogation process would result in a bracelet locked on his wrist.

When the stuff was put on, he was in a cafeteria-like place with other people who had finished interrogation, waiting to fill their stomachs.

The bracelet is pure black with a red bead on it. It is said that the bead can strictly monitor the wearer's physical condition and status. If it detects that the other party is committing violence or other acts, it will immediately activate the bracelet to emit an electric current to attack.

As for the reason: "Your examiner has determined that you are a dangerous person who needs to be strictly controlled."

Xu Qingran watched the staff leave with an expressionless face.

It’s been said that the more gentle a person looks, the darker his heart is.

Perhaps because of the feeling of sympathy, the group of people who came in at the same time had become close friends in just half a day, and gathered around the dinner table to chat happily. When Xu Qingran was at the end of the line, he found a table with few people after getting his meal and sat down, and the group of people who were called away at about the same time as him finally arrived.

The brother and sister were still clinging to each other, and he didn't care much about them.

Until the two of them took their food trays and sat at the same table with him. But they didn't dare to get too close, and stayed quietly at the other end of the long table, occasionally secretly looking at him, wanting to talk but not daring to.

Xu Qingran was focused and ate the hard-earned food devoutly.

Instead, the system was beeping: "Host, your progress is good! You've already got some fans!"

"Always remember, we must work hard to complete the task of conquering the target and raise the spirit pool to the highest level! Before that, keep a low profile, work hard to whitewash, change the image in the eyes of others, and finally strike back and slap them in the face!"

Xu Qingran paused holding the spoon, as if thinking about something.

Although he was not familiar with the people in his batch, the brother and sister seemed to have made a lot of friends. As a result, the originally lonely dining table gradually filled up soon after they joined, and the chatter was very noisy.

They mentioned the reason why they were brought in.

"Hey, I was just in a bad mood that day, and I happened to meet some provocative classmates, so I couldn't help but beat them up."

"I broke the bones of the vixen who seduced my boyfriend."

"My relative is very mean. He started to ridicule our family again the other day and said bad things about my mother. I slapped him in the face until it was swollen. As a result, this disrespectful old man got angry and reported me when he got home."

While chatting and laughing, they suddenly looked at the kind-looking brother and sister and asked, "You look very well behaved, why were you brought in together?"

The younger sister pinched her little fingers nervously and answered in a low voice: "I, we killed someone..."

The table was silent for a moment.

So during the resistance, he accidentally killed his father and the man who came to arrest his sister. He was almost ambushed by the strange uncle, and it was his sister who helped him to hit the man and saved him.

But because the tool was too hard and had sharp corners, the man died instantly.

After hearing this, the expressions of everyone at the table instantly changed from shock to sympathy.

The little system also whimpered: "Master Host, they are so pitiful."

Xu Qingran ignored it and continued to eat, just wanting to leave this crowded place that made him uncomfortable.

But the boy sitting next to him was not very thoughtful. Fearing that he would feel excluded, he took the initiative to ask: "Little brother, why did you come in?"

Xu Qingran stopped eating, looked up, and everyone at the table was looking at him.

Soon he lowered his eyes again and picked up the water cup: "Killed a few people."

There was another short silence. With experience, everyone asked, "Why?"

Xu Qingran took a big sip of water and replied in a hoarse voice, "No reason, I just don't like them."

This time, the dinner table was completely quiet.

The canteen door was suddenly kicked open, and the rude boy came in with a bandage on his face, white mouth, and cursing. He also wore the same black bracelet as Xu Qingran, and his already bad mood reached its peak after the person at the window told him, "You're late, there's no food."

He threw the tray to the ground angrily and kicked the robot that was passing by him.

The noise made by the boy plunged the entire cafeteria into silence. After looking around, his eyes finally fell on an off-white figure who was eating silently with his head down and looked the easiest to bully.

He touched the scar on his cheek with a painful expression, then walked to the man and slammed the table heavily: "Get out of the way, I want your meal."

As a result, the young man not only ignored him, but even quietly moved his plate further into the table, as if he was afraid of being dirty by his hand slapping the table. This action undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for the young man who was in a very bad mood, and he threw the plate he had taken a fancy to the ground.

The unfinished food and the water cup next to the plate were all scattered on the floor.

The little sister in the corner shrank into her brother's arms, but her expression was a little angry, but she dared not speak. Others did not dare to speak out either, for fear of being dragged into the war.

The troublemaker was very satisfied with the attention focused on him.

He also noticed that the young man in front of him was wearing a bracelet exactly the same as his, which made him even happier.

Not to mention that he had rarely lost in fights for many years, he had already experienced the power of this bracelet when he first put it on. If this guy dared to fight him, he would be-

While he was congratulating himself, the young man suddenly stood up and hit him hard on the injured side of his face with the hand wearing the bracelet.

Xu Qingran grabbed the boy, whose head was not even as tall as his body, and thought, why is it so difficult for him to just have a quiet meal

The wound on the boy's face that had been treated with great difficulty was torn open again, and blood flowed down his jaw. However, Xu Qingran, who was upset about his meal and saw someone wasting food, obviously did not intend to give up. The person he caught was shouting and struggling to fight back, but was easily suppressed by his few moves.

With a calm face, he pressed the kid's face heavily onto the pile of rice crumbs on the floor, and used his other hand to pry his jaw open very hard.

His eyes were frighteningly calm: "Don't you want to eat? Then open your mouth."

The boy's injured face was pressed to the ground and rubbed by him, whether intentionally or unintentionally. His eyes were red with pain and he couldn't control his tears. He could also see the hand that forced him to open his mouth from the corner of his eye, and the red beads were flashing.

This is a signal that the bracelet is attacking.

But the other person's grip on his hand was still firm, and he finally felt a little frightened.

Because I have experienced it, I know that even the basic punishment of the evil tower is not a joke. He was shocked just now and lay on the ground for a long time in pain. This man who looks good-tempered, this kind of endurance is probably not a quasi-E-

He was still in shock of his discovery when someone lifted his collar slightly and then slammed his head onto the sticky ground.

He was hit so hard that he was dizzy and dazed, and the wounds hurt so much that he couldn't even cry out.

As a result, everyone in the cafeteria could hear the boy who just a moment ago looked like he wanted to challenge the whole world, saying in a trembling voice of humiliation: "I, I eat... I eat... "

There is no trace of his previous arrogance.

After all this incident, Xu Qingran only ate half full.

Not surprisingly, he was taken away by the staff.

At the gate of Building No. 4, Xu Qingran stretched out his hand for the staff to check his wristband, and an extra one was added to the wrist of his other hand.

"It's not broken..."

The staff member in the silver dragon uniform murmured, and after checking him, he said to him with a stern face: "You've been here for less than a day and you're already hitting others. You won't be able to leave the evil tower with such a temper."

Xu Qingran replied: "I think I have a good temper."

He wasn't even angry.

When he thought he was lying, the staff led him into the deeper level of Building 4.

The atmosphere here is obviously different from that of Building 5 at the outermost part. As soon as you go upstairs, you can hear all kinds of shouting coming from inside. Some people are banging on the cell door in anger, and some are silently going crazy.

They said that he would be made to stay alone in such an environment for a few days to reflect on his actions. If he did not repent, he would be tortured.

Xu Qingran was taken to a floor of Tower 4.

Each compartment on this floor was a single-person cell. The cell door seemed to be made of star sand, with the most common semi-hollow design, which could immediately detect the situation of the person inside. The prison railings were equipped with a mechanism to prevent escape, and he saw a person who tried to break through the cell door, suddenly fell to the ground and twitched wildly.

The staff saw it but ignored it.

The basic information of the people inside was hung on the cell door. He would take a casual look at it and found that most of them were not the Type E people he knew.

Soon, they met another guard who was in charge of patrolling this floor.

The two staff members chatted as they registered his information: "Wow, he was sent to Tower 4 after only being here for half a day. The last time I saw him was... the one who escaped from prison a while ago."

"Speaking of him, he has been confirmed as Type E, right? Has he been found?"

"No, he had already escaped from the Queen's Planet when we found him. Aren't we strictly controlling the search at checkpoints across the country now? My brothers in charge of the checkpoints are arguing every day, saying that they are very annoyed when they suddenly have to work overtime to stand guard."

"Hahaha, luckily I wasn't transferred there..."

While they were chatting, Xu Qingran casually looked around and suddenly saw a man with a Mediterranean hairstyle in a room kneeling on the ground, kowtowed to the empty wall, and muttered nervously: "Please, let me go, I really didn't mean to kill you, please let me go..."

Perhaps his gaze was too intense, and the other party seemed to sense something and turned back.

Then her eyes suddenly widened, and she screamed at him as if she had seen a ghost, and the person she kowtowed to became him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! No, don't come to me, I really didn't mean to kill you!"

"I didn't mean to drug your child. She asked me to do it. It's all her fault. Go find her..."
