Chapter 18 The Death Sentence That Does Not Exist
Happy times always pass very quickly, and the night passes in a blink of an eye.
......
......
As a newcomer, he was sent to the "infirm" on the first day he entered Arkham, allowing Professor Yang to personally welcome him. This was almost the most suitable welcome ceremony in recent years. So early the next morning, people in the entire prison were looking forward to what the newcomer would become after experiencing a night of hellish torture.
In fact, not only newcomers, but everyone who has been to the infirmary will become the focus of this group of crazy criminals, because they do not have anything to do every day, so they can see their inmates being harmed by disasters, and even a very good entertainment event for them.
However, after the gate of the prison area was opened.
The expected cheers did not sound, and no one sneered. Even many filthy words that had been prepared long ago were held in their throats and could not say them at all.
Because everyone was confused.
They saw that Ziliang was fine and walked in under the escort of two prison guards.
He walked into his cell staggeringly, and after the prison guard unlocked his handcuffs... he handed him a pack of cigarettes.
Yes, it’s just a pack of cigarettes, a whole pack, and what’s more accurate is one pack and four, because after that, the prison guard took out four cigarettes and put them on Ziliang’s bed.
Ziliang is on the second floor, so many people on the upper and lower floors can see this scene. Most of these people opened their mouths wide and stayed in the same spot with a confused look on their faces. A few people began to pinch themselves like sleepwalking, and they kept pinching until their faces were thrusting. They were still a little unbelievable. Some even looked at the new prisoner stupidly, feeling that their legs were a little out of strength, and they slid down the iron railing to the ground.
......
Ziliang's hands were shaking.
But of course this is not a fear, but a muscle spasm caused by a long period of electric shock. He trembledly picked up a cigarette from the bed, held it in his mouth, and then gave the prison guard behind him a look...
Immediately afterwards, what made everyone feel furious was that the prison guard really took out the lighter and lit it for him.
"Damn, what's the situation?" The people who saw this scene were no longer calm. For a few seconds, they even subconsciously felt that they had been deceived for so many years. In fact, Arkham Asylum is an extremely free, friendly and humane care institution.
In fact, it is not their fault for the prisoners to react so much. Over the years, these prisoners have seen countless cruel and crazy people, including themselves. However, no matter how self-righteous people are, they are destroyed after walking in Professor Yang's hands and never dare to be arrogant again.
So they have never seen a person who can still be so calm after a night of torture? Could it be that Professor Yang was sick yesterday and didn’t come to work?
Just kidding, everyone knows that this is impossible, because the sequelae of this muscle twitch is obviously the reaction after torture, or the cruelest one! So...what is going on this person? Why does it seem like nothing has happened, and what expression is on his face? Why does it seem like he looks very happy? The most important thing is, where does his cigarette come from?
No one knew what happened this night, and even the prison guards didn't know. Anyway, when they went to pick up the prisoner, they were surprised to find that he didn't seem to have changed much. Instead, Professor Yang's face looked a little bad... And you may not believe that those cigarettes were given to this person by Professor Yang.
The two prison guards thought this person was too weird, so they quickly closed the prison door and left in a hurry.
As soon as the prison guards left, the whispers in the entire prison area began to sound. The prisoners who could not see this scene due to location began to try hard to inquire with others about what happened. The people who saw this scene were hesitant and couldn't figure out how to explain it for a long time. The sound began to get louder and louder, one after another, but no one dared to take the initiative to talk to the new prisoner and ask what was going on.
Just then.
"Shut up."
A not too loud and lazy sound rang.
For a moment, the ignited noise suddenly became quiet, and even some people who hadn't heard it at all subconsciously closed their mouths.
And this voice, of course, came from Ziliang. He leaned against the bed with a sloppy face, and his mood suddenly seemed to have become very bad.
After this night, he had basically broken through Professor Yang's psychological defense line. The specific method was to constantly lure him to torture himself even more violently. Then, after using torture, Feng Qingyun gave some comments with a faint sense of humiliation, and then made a bet... This seemingly simple method is extremely effective in some people with dark hearts, because the only thing that people like Professor Yang can do is to torture people. Only by the prisoner's screams and begging can he find some of the value of his existence slightly. If you completely ignore his torture method, the stimulation to him would be like the woman or man who gave him an extremely contemptuous mockery after being panting on the bed.
This is something he can't accept no matter what!
So, just by using this simple method, the bet can be made bigger and bigger, from one cigarette, to two, to a whole pack, and finally...even the name of "Prisoner No. 21".
In fact, this method is indeed very useful. In order to maintain his only little dignity, Professor Yang finally checked for Ziliang who the No. 21 prisoner was.
However, the answer was beyond his expectations...there was no Prisoner No. 21 at all.
......
It turned out that seven or eight years ago, the Arkham Asylum was expanded. After that, all the prisoners who came in were marked with letters and numbers, just like license plate numbers, and there was no rule between all numbers, which was completely random. For example, Ziliang's prisoner number was [35A51].
The old-fashioned code name of prisoner "No. 21" has long been banned.
This news made Ziliang very depressed.
At the same time, he naturally noticed that almost all the changes in this city pointed to a certain period of time seven or eight years ago.
"What happened during that time...?"
Ziliang crossed his legs, thinking while smoking a cigarette.
"Oh, it would be great if the 'compass' was there. I haven't used it to it for a long time to think about things myself, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
