The repeat offender in Qingcheng Prison has too rich or dark past experiences, and now spends too much time in these four walls, not to mention seeing life and death, at least he is underestimated. So, for them, the easiest way to distinguish between them is the level of importance that the Federation places on this prisoner, apart from the combat power or brains they have shown in the long and desperate years. .
The initial shock gradually faded from the eyes of the repeat offenders. They quietly looked at the young prisoners who were struggling to walk on the passage at the end of the transparent partition, and invariably put down the plastic cutlery in their hands.
Some of them are extremely vicious and have also been bound with regional remote control electric devices, but such a dangerous device of instant explosion has only been seen in prison studies.
Coupled with the exaggerated shape of the handcuffs and shackles, the repeat offenders in the cafeteria could easily tell that the federal government attached great importance to this new prisoner, even more than everyone in the room put together.
It is because of this judgment that they know that this young prisoner, who looks a little thin, must have done a lot of terrifying things outside to receive this kind of treatment.
The class division in Qingcheng Prison is so simple, they naturally have a feeling of awe for the young prisoner, but after all, it is very difficult for the young prisoner to walk through the transparent material, so they slowly feel this feeling. suppressed.
The plastic cutlery is also specially made, and even if the felons quietly take it away, no matter how broken and polished it is, it will not be able to repair a sharp angle. A man with gray hair and glasses who looked like a professor turned back to his body, listened to the heavy metal banging sound behind his head, shook his head, put the spoon beside the lunch box, and said quietly, "Look at that. The color of a person's facial skin and lips, I'm afraid I haven't seen the sun for three months."
The felon was a professor of the Third Department of the Federal Academy of Military Sciences before he was imprisoned. Because of a trivial matter in the family, he poured samples of the federal imitation imperial gas into the villa where his wife and his father-in-law lived. This excellent biochemistry expert has already obtained the collective approval of the felons in Qingcheng Prison for his judgment in this regard, so after hearing this, the felons in the cafeteria started to talk softly.
"Three months in solitary confinement? It's inhumane," a burly man with a shaved head sighed. "I almost went mad after a month."
Everyone in the cafeteria knows that this stupid-looking big guy used to be aggressive in the boot camp and shot seven recruits in a row. , or put Xilin to act as a death squad, I am afraid that the military court has already ordered him to be shot.
Hearing the words "inhumane" from the mouths of such ruthless repeat offenders should have caused a lot of laughter, but none of these repeat offenders laughed, just quietly looked at the young prisoner who was struggling to move on the transparent material with complex eyes. .
Because they have all been imprisoned in isolation before, and know how hard it is to see the sun, no one speaks, the surrounding is silent, and it is like an absolute death experience.
That new young prisoner was in solitary confinement for three months? These murderous or treacherous repeat offenders could not help but shudder in their hearts. The importance the federation attaches to this young prisoner has indirectly proved how dangerous this person is. If he is locked up for three months, he will become a lunatic. Live with you all in the future...
"No one should provoke this new gentleman in the future."
There was a voice in the middle of the dining table, the voice was hoarse and slightly old, and the owner of the voice obviously had a very high status among the felons in the military prison. When he said this, the thirty or so prisoners nodded slightly at the same time.
These heinous prisoners know better than anyone that a person cannot be seen. A gentle professor can kill his own family, and a simple and honest man can slaughter a boot camp. Although this young prisoner has just arrived, although he is thin and pale, he can only Looking at the opening action today, I know that he is an absolutely dangerous character, and since he has been claustrophobic alone for three months, I am afraid he has already gone crazy.
The sound of the heavy metal crashing in the dullness finally stopped, and the people in the cafeteria no longer needed to endure this torture, and let out a light sigh of relief.
The young prisoner passed through three security doors and came to the inner room of the prison. The four black nooses were loosened, but the heavy magnetic shackles and handcuffs were still on his body. The prison did not arrange for him to enter the cafeteria to eat, but placed a separate table and chairs for him on the magnetic floor of the isolation area, which was filled with food and fruit.
This special treatment did not make the repeat prisoners staring at him feel jealous, but more cold, they are more and more sure that this new prisoner is very dangerous.
At this moment, the young prisoner, who was sitting on the chair with difficulty, fiddled with his messy hair again, then turned around and smiled at the group of serious prisoners in the cafeteria.
On the pale and thin face, the smile is actually extremely clean and natural, sunny, sincere and sincere. It looks like a dangerous person with madness in the calm, and looks like an ordinary boy next door.
The gloomy and coldness of the young prisoners walking all the way is in stark contrast with this smile. Those repeat offenders are shocked and speechless, even the vigilant guards around the young prisoners and those on the second and third floors who are focused on aiming The guards, all felt a sense of relaxation they shouldn't have felt.
Xu Le didn't know that when he looked back and smiled, he almost threw a fortune in Qingcheng Prison, and shocked the guards and prisoners who were facing the enemy. He just followed his usual routine in his life. When you come to a strange place, you will have a sincere smile on your face, which will make the people around you happy and make yourself less troublesome, but he obviously did not expect that he is now guarding a strict military prison. Here, the objects of his smile are not a group of normal people.
After eating his first meal in Qingcheng Military Prison, he was sent back to his own cell. Xu Le touched the neat quilt on the bed, then went inside to test the toilet seat, and smiled happily.
It was only when he saw the pale, messy-haired self in the mirror that his smile gradually faded. He was held in solitary confinement for four months, unable to see the sun, and those hair roots grew wildly like they were unsupervised. , it was already over the shoulder.
"I hope the government can let me cut my hair." He looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Donglin a few years ago, after he deceived Bao Longtao, he once looked at his face in a daze in the mirror. It's just that at that time he would be extremely nervous about such a thing, and now he is in the most terrifying secret military prison in the Federation, but he is as calm as at home.
He narrowed his eyes, but he didn't understand why the government suddenly released him from that dark cell, and why he was transferred from Fox Fortress to Qingcheng Prison.
He washed his face with hot water and sat back on the bed in the cell. Xu Le lowered his head and recalled those more than 100 days. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Loneliness is indeed the most unbearable thing in the world. In comparison, although this military prison is also in solitary confinement, at least there is light, and being able to see people while eating is a rare enjoyment for him.
He lowered his head and pondered the hard moments of the past, then lay back on the soft bed, squinting, staring at the monotonous ceiling above his head, always feeling that the ceiling was painted pale yellow. His eyes gradually turned into pitch blackness, except for a few meteorites that occasionally drifted by in the distance, there was nothing there.
After being arrested in the Peace Foundation building more than four months ago, he and Shi Qinghai were detained separately by the federal government. He was taken away by the Second Military Region overnight, and after undergoing the necessary medical treatment and related procedures, he was detained in the Fox Fortress Special Prison.
Fox Fortress is a space prison. It is located on the outer edge of the S2 galaxy, facing the direction of the dark sky. Outside the alloy surface of the prison, there is a cold vacuum. In that environment, it is basically wishful thinking to escape.
Xu Le, who was imprisoned in the space prison, was a felon under strict supervision, but he had no urge to escape. He actually just wanted someone to come and try him.
However, there was no interrogation, no questioning, no cockroaches, no ants, not even the most hated mice in spaceships in the single dark cell. There was only silence, and food was delivered automatically at regular intervals.
For a full one hundred and forty-one days, he was alone in the dark, there was no sound in the room, only the dark sky of the endless universe outside the small window was watching him, and in that sky, the stars that never blinked. Hard to find one.
In addition to darkness, it is still dark, in addition to quietness, it is still quiet. It was so dark that he thought his teeth were all black. When he was quiet, he could often hear his heartbeat, and he always felt that it was beating a drum.
Staying in that dark, silent and lonely environment for more than four months is not a mental torture that human beings can endure.
During these long days, his injuries were almost healed, but his face began to pale, and his body, which lacked the light of the stars, also became a little weak.
As judged by the felons in Qingcheng Prison, a few months of solitary confinement can drive anyone crazy, but it is clear that Xu Le is not crazy, he is still alive and healthy, which is really unbelievable, even if His nerves are thick and different from ordinary people. Even if he is a famous stinky stone in Donglin, how did he survive
"Young Master Shi doesn't know if he can make it through."
Far away from darkness and loneliness, he, who was comfortably lying on the soft bed in Qingcheng Prison, thought worriedly.
After lying down for a long time, maybe he felt too bored. He rubbed his eyes and said softly to himself, "Old man, come and watch two love movies."
A young man came to the Qingcheng Military Prison, and the security level was immediately upgraded, but other than that, the forbidden area on this wasteland did not seem to have changed much. , reading, exercising, studying federal law, and going to bed, just as they used to.
Probably the only difference is that every day when eating, you can always hear the dull sound of metal crashing, and the new prisoner wearing a heavy magnetic shackle with a remote-controlled explosive device will pass through a special passage accompanied by this noise. , head to your own small dining table for a meal.
Xu Le and the rest of the felons were separated by a layer of transparent material, but it was like two worlds. Except for those voices and his existence, they did not interfere with each other, but when he had three meals a day, he was always used to it. He nodded to the felons with various poetic qualities over there, smiled and said a silent greeting.
This kind of day lasted for a week. Among the repeat offenders who ate in the cafeteria, someone finally responded to his kindness and smiled at him. As a result, this unfortunate gentleman was locked in a solitary cell for three days.
Although the repeat offender still scolded the heavily armed soldiers upstairs after he came out, he never looked at Xu Le over there again.
The federal government allowed Xu Le to see the sun through the transparent dome, but it still strongly prevented him from having any contact with the outside world. prisoner.
At night, when alone in a solitary cell in Qingcheng Prison, Xu Le would often stand by the window, watching the wildly growing green grass downstairs.
He sometimes thinks of his grass-like head, and sometimes thinks that it's already late spring, and he's been alone in the dark room of the Fox Fortress for too long, and he feels like he doesn't know the years.
The prison authorities refused his request to shave his head. To be more precise, no soldier in charge of guards dared to speak to him.
Good thing he still has old stuff.
The architectural structure diagram of the Foundation Building and the real-time positioning cursor in his left eye have long since disappeared, and his left eye can really see ghosts. At the beginning of the dark days of the fox fortress space prison, Xu Le recalled the data stored in his mind and reviewed it, and also read the pictures of various beauties in his mind, but he was still bored. In the case of boredom, he tried to ask the existence on the other side of the black dream, and once again issued a request for active contact.
For Xu Le, this kind of request is already very skilled. It is roughly equivalent to a mental patient constantly shouting at the mountains and seas in his mind, and then expecting to hear an echo.
So in the dark and lonely days that can make people mad, Xu Le contacted the charter brilliance all over the universe, and began to watch TV news or soap operas on the Federation with his left eye, and also watched many literary movies that he usually had no time to watch. …
It was through this extraordinary and miraculous way that no one could find out, Xu Le saw the consequences of Medellin's death in the federation from the news of the federation. Those demonstrations, strikes and riots continued until After a few months, it gradually subsided.
Therefore, Xu Le has never understood why the federal government is not in a hurry to judge itself, to quell the anger and revenge of those George Carlin fanatics, but to forget himself in the corner of the universe. What he didn't understand even more was why the government had sent itself back to the ground at this time.
This doubt persisted until the arrival of the prison's first visitor.
This morning, Xu Le sat down on the cold metal chair in the reception room, looking at the heavy magnetic shackles on his ankles, and heard the sound of the door opening. Not on familiar people.
In an instant, he smiled and frowned, feeling as if he had traveled back in time, back to a year ago.
