There may be many reasons for the sudden disappearance of the sound of dripping water. Maybe it is a water outage caused by the limited supply here, or maybe it is cold in the middle of the night and the copper water pipes are frozen - but if it happens to catch up with the hour of the night, something is a little unusual.

He slowed down his breathing and listened. Maybe it was not just the sound of dripping water, but also many subtle sounds inside and outside the house had disappeared. The night was already completely silent.

Yu Feichen sat up against the wall and took out his lighter. It was a high-quality product. According to the weight, there was still about a third of the kerosene. There was a "hiss" sound, and the firelight illuminated a corner of the barracks. Yu Feichen

Fei Chen looked at the other people in the barracks one by one - they were breathing evenly and were all asleep. Bai Song frowned slightly, the chemistry teacher was lying on the ground, his hands clasped in front of his chest as if praying, and the monk eating the frog was huddled in the corner.

The darkness was as solid as the lighter, which could only illuminate a limited area. Yu Feichen got up and went to the other side of the barracks - the remaining three people slept in different positions, but fortunately their bodies all rose and fell slightly.

Sleep and live.

He raised the lighter higher. There was nothing on the ceiling. Looking out the small window, he could see the outline of the building in the night.

Then, he turned to the iron door and looked across - a huge dark hole was cracked in the gray cement wall. There was no light inside, which was the door of the bathroom. Looking outside, the barracks outside the bathroom were completely engulfed in darkness.

, can’t see clearly.

After turning off the lighter, Yu Feichen felt that something had happened. He was not a neurotic person and never had hallucinations.

In the silent barracks, he suddenly said: "Is anyone awake?"

Echoes filled every corner, but there was still silence in those barracks.

He spoke again: "Is anyone there?"

——The only answer to him was dead silence. Only three seconds later, Bai Song seemed to be disturbed by him and turned over.

Yu Feichen's eyes stared straight at the base of the wall exposed after Bai Song turned over.

He patted Bai Song on the shoulder.

The child was not sleeping deeply. After being tapped on the shoulder, he opened his eyes with excitement.

Yu Feichen said nothing, pressed the lighter, and brought the firelight closer to that place.

"I——" Bai Song stopped swearing in time.

On the gray cement wall, there were three long dark streaks - varying in depth and length, heavier on the upper right, and lighter and lighter on the lower left, like a painting without enough paint.

Yu Feichen asked in a low voice: "Has it happened before?"

"I don't know." Bai Song said.

After a pause, he added: "I didn't pay attention, there shouldn't be anything."

Yu Feichen didn't say anything. Before going to bed, he carefully observed the environment of the barracks. There was no such thing.

In silence, Bai Song took a few breaths, then suddenly stretched out his right hand and made signs with his fingers. The middle finger was thick and the little finger was thin, which matched the characteristics of the marks on the wall.

"What the hell." Bai Song lay back down in frustration, a little further away from the wall, and said, "They were captured by human hands. Will they really treat the prisoners well?"

At this moment, there was another movement in the barracks. It was the chemistry teacher named Glod who was awakened by their conversation.

"What happened?" he asked.

"It's okay." Yu Feichen stretched out his hand, passed his fingers through the iron door, and twisted the old-fashioned iron lock that locked the iron door in a different direction, from hanging flat in front of the door to hanging on its side.

After he was done, he said, "Go to sleep."

The chemistry teacher prayed a few words in a low voice, and then he and Bai Song fell asleep one after another. Yu Feichen did not lie down again, but sat against the wall and fell asleep in a position that made it easy to get up at any time. The night was still as quiet as a cemetery until about five

An hour later, when a pale ray of skylight shone in through the small window, the sound of dripping water started again.

Yu Feichen first looked at the wall next to Bai Song. The trace disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Look at the iron gate again——

The iron lock hung quietly outside the door.

He took a deep breath, ignored them, and began to clean himself up.

Of course, there was nothing that could be done except to trim my hair and then use a sharp knife to scrape off the slightly sprouting stubble.

He's not a man who cares about appearances, but some things have to be in order.

People in the barracks woke up one after another, most of them bleary-eyed and haggard. The monks began to pray in the morning. From the sporadic prayers, it could be heard that they believed in a figure or god called "Yor Yalla", chemistry teacher

Facing the wall in a daze, another middle-aged man with a big nose sighed, and a strong man with blond hair was talking to another small man.

"My mother got on another train," he said. "I wonder how she is doing now."

Bai Song is still sleeping.

The monk's lengthy prayer ended.

Bai Song is still sleeping. Indeed, if you wake up from a light sleep in the first half of the night, your sleep will become extremely groggy in the second half of the night.

Yu Feichen stared at Bai Song's sleeping form with an expressionless face. Three seconds later, he planned to kick him awake.

——The barracks door creaked loudly.

The cold winter wind suddenly rushed in, diluting the humidity and popularity in the entire room. Although it was chilly to the bone, it made people think clearly.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor. Several people were standing beside them. Two people were clustered in the center. Listening to the footsteps, one was heavy and the other was light. The distance between the heavy ones was short, and the distance between the light ones was long.

Obviously, one person is heavy and the other is light; one person has short legs and one person has long legs.

"Get up for ward rounds, frogs." The manager's shrill voice rang out, "The people of God of Truth are already at work, but the Corosha bastards are still lying in bed. When the door is opened, you must line up and stand in line. I want to reward you.

Give each of you a whip."

Undoubtedly, the one with the heavier weight and shorter legs is the general manager.

And the other——

Yu Feichen leaned against the side wall of the barracks with his arms folded. He was originally looking at Bai Song, who slept like a corpse on the ground, but raised his eyes slightly after hearing the sound.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of black boots with silver buckles.

"Sir, this is where the two cinder-eating bastards disappeared."

The young officer leaned over to look at the iron lock on the door. His military uniform was the type with a long cape, and a tasseled silver chain was embellished from his shoulders to his chest, half blocked by his long platinum hair, shining brightly.

.All in all, he has an unusual uprightness and is incompatible with others.

Perhaps because he had just walked in from outside, he felt as cold as snow.

"What else happened that day?" he asked the supervisor.

"Nothing else, sir." The steward said, "When I locked them in the night before, the number of people was still right. When I checked the ward the next morning, I couldn't find the people, and the locks were hung properly."

"Where are the others?" He said with a cold gaze as he glanced across the barracks.

"The colonel felt it was a great shame that the Korosarapi snake could escape. He questioned the few remaining people. Those people said they saw the two of them before going to bed, but heard nothing after falling asleep, and nothing after waking up.

"The steward smiled and said, "They harbored the fugitives and wanted to distance themselves from themselves, so the colonel killed them all."

The manager then said: "However, two scammers who escaped are not worthy of Xiyun sending people to investigate like this, sir."

His commander only said two words: "Open the door."

The manager opened the door, and two soldiers dressed differently from the local guards entered the house to search.

"Our barracks have iron walls and there is no way to escape. This is just an accident -" the general manager kept talking, until the soldiers dug out a bent wire under an unused straw mat.

The soldier handed the wire to the commander.

I saw this man fasten the iron lock again and push the iron wire into the keyhole. Within a few minutes, the lock cylinder popped open with a click.

The manager stood outside: "Well... we still have a door outside. Even if he..."

Yu Feichen just looked at the scene in front of him. Not only was this young officer far better at cleaning guns than others, but he was also very skilled at picking locks. However, there are many talented people in the world, so this is nothing worth pondering.

The current situation is a little clearer. Two prisoners are missing from the Oak Valley Asylum. The officers at the asylum thought this was a trivial matter, but their superiors took it seriously and sent someone to investigate - that is, this man from Xiyun

Captain of the military academy.

This is why the senior colonel cursed "Xiyun bitch who is looking for trouble" yesterday.

However, after what happened last night, this disappearance case may not be that simple, Yu Feichen thought. And his mission goal from the Gate of Eternal Night also needs to be discussed again.

"It is a virtue to treat prisoners well, Chief. Although I still don't know what you did in Oak Valley," the young officer said in a cold tone, speaking softly, but very clearly, in an ancient and noble tone, "If you can't restrain yourself, at least

Keep it a secret."

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "We will strengthen the guard and will not let the third person escape."

"People who can pick locks won't leave their tools under the bed." Those ice-green eyes suddenly looked directly at Yu Feichen, "Did anything unusual happen last night?"

A brief moment of silence.

"No." Yu Feichen said.

They stared at each other like that for several seconds, until the officer looked away.

From beginning to end, those eyes were as calm and transparent as a frozen lake in winter.

"Go and search Oak Mountain." The officer turned around, his cloak flipping up due to his movement, and left the barracks with a cold feeling.

The sound of footsteps faded away, and Bai Song woke up long ago.

He looked at the officer's leaving figure, then at Yu Feichen, and finally at the corner where blood stains remained from last night but were now as clean as a wash, his pupils slightly dilated.

"You...he...I...this..."
