Lin Xiaoxiao is a smart person, but he doesn't have much knowledge.

When the other party returned to the restaurant but remained silent about the results of the interrogation, Qingchen already had the answer in his mind.

Because there is nothing unspeakable in that information, sooner or later everyone in the other world will know about the time traveler.

Unless... the results of the interrogation reveal a secret involving someone present.

Qingchen was thinking, how do people in the inner world view the outer world?

Not to mention others, Li Shutong is a powerful person with strong control. How could such a person let things go out of control?

No matter how much goodwill you have accumulated before, it is not worth mentioning in front of those in power.

Qingchen was not certain that Li Shutong would kill him, but was prepared for the worst.

However, Li Shutong was also a very smart person. Lin Xiaoxiao understood it without saying anything.

"Xiaoxiao, take our spade friends to other places," Li Shutong ordered.

"I'm not going anywhere," Guo Huchan suddenly realized that there might be a big secret here.

However, Ye Wan suddenly opened a transparent force field, covering Li Shutong and Qingchen.

Guo Huchan, who was trying to eavesdrop, was caught off guard and was knocked out by the force field.

When the bald man wanted to rush back, he found that Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao were already standing in front of him.

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "If you still want to stay here to find the forbidden object ACE-005, don't go any further."

"If you don't listen, don't listen!" Guo Huchan said angrily.

At this time, Li Shutong looked at Qingchen calmly and asked: "So, you are looking for them when you give way to Guangyi to interrogate the new prisoners these days, right?"

Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "That's right."

"You are calmer than I thought," Li Shutong said with emotion: "I was not as good as you when I was your age."

"It's not calmness, but panic is useless," Qingchen said.

"Although Xiaoxiao hasn't told me the result of the interrogation, I know it must be a big secret," Li Shutong said, "I have always been ruthless when facing uncontrollable things. Have you ever thought that you might not survive tomorrow?

"

"I've thought about it," Qingchen raised his head and looked at everything around him.

The novel steel dome, the shiny black metal storm that reflects the light, and the mechanical prison guards scattered around the prison stand blankly with guns in hand.

There are also prisoners with playful and smiling faces, and newcomers who are limping and grinning.

Qingchen wasn't sure if he could still see all this, so he wanted to take a few more looks.

He suddenly lowered his head and smiled at Li Shutong and said: "It's actually quite pleasant to get along with each other these days. If possible, I hope we can get to know each other again."

"You beat me when we played chess on the first day, so actually I still owe you a request. If you have any requests, you can make them now," Li Shutong said.

Qingchen thought for a while: "Can you say goodbye again?"

"Why don't you give up your life in exchange?" Li Shutong smiled.

"I don't need to change my life, and I can't change it," Qingchen said.

"Okay, I have always liked your courage. This piece of music is a gift from me. You can make any request at any time." Li Shutong asked Ye Wan to get the harmonica.

The farewell song was like Qingchen's song for himself. The melodious song made the atmosphere in the prison calmer.

"Thank you," Qingchen said.

After saying that, he returned to the cell alone, lying on the cold bed and waiting quietly.

Time passed little by little.

From day to night.

Qingchen heard the radio in the prison reminding all the prisoners to file back to their cells, and then the alloy gates closed one after another, and the sound of hydraulic transmission ended the day's bustle in Prison No. 18.

Isolate everything.

The next moment, the entire prison suddenly fell into complete darkness.

Then, the alloy gate of Qingchen's cell reopened.

In the darkness, someone put a black hood on him and carried him to an unknown location.

A few minutes later, the two men holding him placed him somewhere and then left one after another.

The hydraulic sound sounded again, as if something had been closed or blocked.

Qingchen lay silently in the darkness, he didn't even get up to see where he was.

There was only his breathing, and the only thing that was lit was the countdown that he could see, and it couldn't light up anywhere.

Time is slow and heavy.

Qingchen knows how a person will react when he is in a closed and dark environment.

You don't know where you are and you can't talk to anyone. At this time, loneliness and fear will completely engulf a person.

and lose the concept of time.

Not having time is the scariest thing.

Many people can't even resist 24 hours. There was an experiment that offered a reward of 1 million to people to stay inside for five days, but no one could get the one million.

Money is indeed tempting, but 99% of people fall before 72 hours.

However.

I'm afraid Li Shutong and others didn't expect that Qingchen has never been afraid of loneliness.

Since his parents divorced, he has been living with loneliness.

Qingchen clearly realized that lack of water would be his biggest enemy.

Return countdown 146:09:02.

The countdown timer on this arm can help him calculate time.

first day.

Qingchen slowed down his breathing rate and began to recall movies in his mind. He first watched "The Shawshank Redemption" and then "Papillon", both of which were about prison escape and faith.

Those were all videos he had memorized in his mind, but he didn't need a device to replay them.

Without water, his neurons confuse the need for food and water, and he begins to feel exhausted.

Return countdown 122:09:02.

the next day.

Qingchen took a nap and rewatched eight movies in his mind.

He lay silently on the floor with his eyes closed, enjoying the darkness.

Hunger and thirst began to attack him, but he remained unmoved as if he had abandoned his external senses.

Return countdown 98:09:02.

The third day

The feeling of hunger began to burn his will and erode his spirit.

Qingchen watched 12 movies this time and didn't sleep for a minute.

He suffered from the loss of water in his body. Due to the loss of water, his body began to cool and heat suddenly, and his skin began to dry out.

His memory began to fail, and the movie in his mind turned into a staccato slideshow.

Memories from the old days began to come together.

Qingchen couldn't sleep.

Return countdown: 74:09:02.

Day four.

Qingchen's hunger began to subside. He opened his eyes and looked at the endless nothingness and darkness, not knowing what he was thinking.

He hadn't looked at the time for a long time, and it seemed that looking at the time had become meaningless.

However, Qingchen never said a word or shouted from the beginning to the end.

In the darkness, the world is always silent.

He hadn't calculated how long he hadn't slept, but it didn't seem to matter.

Qingchen used his silence to fight against the silence and darkness of the world.

…

It was already dark night in Prison No. 18, and the lights inside the fortress turned into dim light.

Even the drones on the hive seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Li Shutong sat at the end of the long table in the dark reading area with his eyes closed and concentrating. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the time at the side: "Boss, it's been four days."
