40, inmate(1/2)
On the day he came out of the solitary room, Chen Ran's eyes were exposed to the long-lost sunlight, and he almost burst into tears. Xia Ziheng next to him covered his face: "I'll go, it's too bright."
Just as he covered his eyes, there was movement from the last solitary room.
Xu Yinian is here.
Probably due to the lingering remnants of the commotion in the restaurant a few days ago, two prison guards escorted him. Xu Yinian's eyes were red and tearful, but his expression was worse than anyone else's. Xia Ziheng looked at him and smiled.
made a sound, causing Xu Yinian to glare at him with tears in his eyes.
Seeing one of the prison guards escorting him, Xu Yinian paused and made eye contact with him.
The prison guard had an ordinary appearance, and it would be difficult to find him if he was thrown into a crowd. But he had only seen this face in the solitary room a few nights ago.
Yu Huai pretended to be a prison guard and took the handcuffs. Xu Yinian stretched out his hand and acted very cooperative.
"Oh, what a big change." Another prison guard was quite satisfied, "If you ask me, these newcomers should be sent to the solitary confinement room for a month, otherwise none of them will know who they are!"
"Yes," Yu Huai locked the handcuffs with a click and said with some words, "It's good like this now."
Xu Yinian was escorted all the way back to the 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 cursing and pulling his cellmate off the bed.
Pulled off roughly.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the pretty young man looked even more embarrassed. Not only did he have pinch marks of varying depths on his body, but there were even traces of slaps on his face. The prisoner originally planned to deal with it on the spot.
His hands were placed 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? Stop minding your own business!"
The young man also looked at Xu Yinian. His eyes were extremely tired, and his whole person seemed to have lost his life. He did not resist even if he tore his prison uniform.
Xu Yinian suddenly asked: "Are you willing?"
"Is there any difference?" The young man laughed at himself.
"Yes." After Xu Yinian finished speaking, he grabbed the prisoner's collar from behind and pulled him away from the young man. The prisoner staggered and couldn't react in time. Xu Yinian pushed him up against the wall with a bang.
Yu Huai raised his eyebrows and held the cell door ajar with his backhand.
Most of the prisoners' faces were squeezed against the wall. Seeing the uniform on Yu Huai's body, it was like seeing a savior. He hurriedly said with slurred teeth: "...prison guard! Stop him quickly!"
Yu Huai didn't care about himself and glanced at him casually. The prisoner was so moved when he saw him that he thought he didn't know him: "Brother Yin, you always know him, right? I'm with him - uh!!
"
Xu Yinian pushed him further into the wall, as if he was embedded in a cell: "I let go, stop forcing me here, get out of here."
The prisoner was in disbelief, and his voice raised an octave: "Are you crazy? Brat! Who are you telling to get out!"
"It's so noisy." Xu Yinian said angrily, even worse than him, "Try to curse again?"
The fingers pressing on his neck seemed to be worth a thousand pieces of gold. Although this guy looked very thin, he didn't know where he could get such terrifying strength. The prisoner was frightened and softened his tone slightly: "You just came here, right? You can't
"You still don't know, but he is a bitch that can be ridden by thousands of people. Most of the prisoners in the Black Tower have slept with him. Are you guilty of offending other people for him?"
The young man who was kneeling on the ground clenched his teeth and closed his eyes in silence.
"Really?" Xu Yinian suddenly let go of his hand on his neck. The prisoner felt happy, but someone suddenly grabbed him on the back of his head. Xu Yinian knocked his head hard against the wall, "
Then he belongs to me now."
The prisoner came to his senses and cursed: "You're... crazy! You're finished!..."
Xu Yinian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly grabbed the prisoner's hair, forced him to raise his head, and bumped him again.
"Fuck you!...Stop hitting me! Stop! I told you to stop!...Isn't it right? Is it okay? Is that okay? I'm wrong, I'm wrong! I'm wrong!" The prisoner said.
His head was bruised and bloody, and he struggled desperately but could not break free from his grasp. In the end, he had to apologize repeatedly. Xu Yinian let go of his hand, and the freed prisoner turned to look at the room, full of hatred.
I didn't dare to look at this lunatic again, so I vented my grievances on the prison guard who was watching the show from beginning to end: "I told you that I'm Brother Yin's man! Don't you fucking understand?"
"Don't look for him." Yu Huai raised his eyes.
His voice was cold and flat, obviously without any emotion, but it made the prisoner feel terrified.
The prisoner swallowed the water and felt that the prison guard in front of him was so frightening that the curses reached his throat and he pushed back. Yu Huai kicked open the half-open cell door and rushed to the prisoner: "
Go back to your cell."
"..." The prisoner was so aggrieved that he covered his bleeding head and cursed while closing the door. Yu Huai was about to escort him back to the cell, but before leaving, he thought about something and turned around to glance at the messy young man.
, and then turned his attention to Xu Yinian, who had beaten someone - the boy shook the blood stained on his hands, and almost had the word "Shuang" on his face.
"Don't be too ostentatious." Yu Huai said to him.
It's like a warning and a reminder.
Xu Yinian looked at him, nodded slightly at the end, and gave a rare obedient oh.
After they left, the young man walked up to Xu Yinian, took the initiative to extend his hand to him, and introduced himself: "Pei Su."
"Xu Yinian."
"Thank you." Pei Su looked more energetic than before, and there was light in Pei Su's eyes again, "I can't even remember the last time someone helped me."
Xu Yinian looked at his slightly swollen cheeks and the bruises that had not dispersed. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
Pei Su noticed his gaze and said calmly: "What that guy just said was the truth."
Xu Yinian snorted and hesitated. All his thoughts were reflected on his face. Pei Su, who was used to seeing the ugliness of human nature, was quite surprised. His seductive fox eyes slowly widened.
"You helped me, and I have nothing to thank you for." He deliberately blew into Xu Yinian's ear with an ambiguous tone, "How about we take a nap?"
Xu Yinian's face was full of shock: "No, you're welcome."
Pei Su couldn't hold it back any longer, he laughed with his belly in his hands, and even burst into tears at the end of the laugh: "...No, you are too deceptive."
After laughing enough, Pei Su straightened his face and said seriously: "You just made a move, and they will come to trouble you. If you need my help, just ask."
Xu Yinian thought for a while: "Have you stayed in the Black Tower for a long time?"
"It's been three or four years." Pei Su counted the time and sighed when he thought about his changes, "My sentence was originally only two years, but some prisoners were unwilling to let me go, so the Black Tower directly increased my sentence.
When I first came here, I got goosebumps whenever I touched it, but now... just don’t kill me."
Xu Yinian was extremely surprised: “Additional punishment without authorization??”
"This place is under the control of monsters, and they don't care so much about the verdict of the trial court." Pei Su's eyes quickly flashed with disgust.
The heavy topic made the cramped cell silent. After a while, Xu Yinian suddenly said: "Do you want to go?"
Pei Su was lazily leaning on the bed, and when he heard what he was about to say, when he met Xu Yinian's eyes and looked over at him, the joke on his lips finally stopped.
He calmed down his undisciplined look and nodded slowly: "Of course I want to."
"Then tell me everything you know." Xu Yinian said, "I'll help you go there."
"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 took the information he got from Pei Su one by one.
During dinner time, three people from different cells finally gathered together. They hid in the corner of the restaurant, and Chen Ran nodded: "Jiang Xiao's kind are special prisoners. These people are used to being imprisoned.
Gangs form gangs and run amok. The prison guards take good care of them, and no matter what happens, Black Tower will always be on their side."
Xia Ziheng: "Indeed, everyone lives like an uncle. I passed by the cell next door a few days ago, and guess what I saw? A mattress! I even doubted whether these people were here to go to jail."
Xu Yinian: "Pei Su doesn't know why the Black Tower takes care of them. In his impression, these prisoners have always enjoyed privileges."
"It's impossible to say that they are already 'dead'." Facing the two pairs of eyes looking at him at the same time, Chen Ran speculated, "Brother Xia Yan said that the Black Tower faked the death of some prisoners and took it for his own use. Jiang
What they have is a prisoner who is pretending to be dead."
"!" Xu Yinian's eyes lit up, "It makes sense."
Xia Ziheng suddenly realized it and patted Chen Ran on the back: "You are smart, Chen Ran!"
Chen Ran muttered: "But what exactly to use them for is still a question..."
"What else are you doing? They are probably all shady people who kill people and steal goods. Isn't that what the killers in the White Deer Mansion are like."
"There's one more thing," Xu Yinian slowed down when talking about this, "Pei Su asked me to try not to conflict with the special prisoners."
Hearing that he was the newcomer who caused a stir on the 100th floor a few days ago, Pei Su raised his thumb in awe and said something from the bottom of his heart, Pei Su restrained his joking expression and said, "Next time I meet someone like this.
If the situation is not excessive, you should try your best to tolerate it. You didn’t know it when you first arrived, but prisoners in the Black Tower disappear every year. These missing prisoners are either alive or dead, and the most important thing is..."
"——The ones who disappeared are all ordinary prisoners." Xu Yinian pointed at himself, "Those who have offended special prisoners like me are more likely to disappear."
So over the years, no matter how excessive the privileged prisoners were, Pei Su tolerated them one by one.
He will always remember that the few people who came with him at the same time disappeared into the night of the Black Tower without any warning, like being swallowed by monsters lurking in the abyss, and all traces of their existence were wiped away.
"Missing?" Xia Ziheng repeated the word "" and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to scratch his neck. "Is he sure he's not dead? For example, he was disposed of secretly."
Xu Yinian shrugged, saying that he didn't know. Chen Ran murmured: "He's not dead...the laboratory, those people were sent to the laboratory."
Xu Yinian suddenly realized: "What you mean is...!"
"The research content of the laboratory is very special. I'm afraid there are many people vying for funding. 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 always
Send the missing prisoner to ." After sorting out the cause and effect, Chen Ran's brows gradually furrowed, "If you want to find clues to the laboratory in the Black Tower, you will have to work hard."
"I have a way." Xu Yinian said at this moment.
He briefly told his plan. After listening to the whole plan, Chen Ran had a strange expression: "It's feasible, it's feasible, but... you don't want to avenge your personal revenge, do you?"
"Am I that person? This is called reasonable." Seeing Chen Ran's face revealed, Xu Yinian was a little angry, "Just tell me whether you want to do it or not."
