Fifty percent of the euonymus is obviously not 50 percent in the mathematical sense, either life or death, it is completely a fight for character.

In addition to the explanatory text, there is no mention of the test items that volunteers need to conduct, which adds a bit of fear of the unknown to the mystery.

After all, there are still very few people who can reach the realm of "life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown", how can people in a place like the detention center have such a lofty faith, "it is better to die than to live" is the only criterion in their lives.

Many people have retreated, for them, staying is only a sentence of ten or twenty years, and there is still half a life to live after being released from prison, and there is no need to risk their lives to fight for this chance.

But there is no shortage of gamblers in this world.

Cell No. 28 was originally a prison for felons, and at least half of the people in it were murder suspects waiting to go to trial.

Rather than waiting for death in a dark prison, it is better to fight for the freedom of the rest of your life with this rotten life.

The prisoners who chose to give up this opportunity all left silently after returning the text, and in the end only six people remained.

Li Mengnan, Guo Debiao, Tian Laogen, Hei Qiang, Yue Laosan, and a bearded fat man nicknamed lard.

The outlaws of Hei Qiang have nothing to say.

Tian Laogen is 60 years old this year, and if he can't survive the sentence, he will have to die in prison, and it is normal for him to want to fight.

However, Guo Debiao also came over, which made Li Mengnan feel very surprised.

Guo Debiao replied to this like this: "My old Guo has no father, no mother, no wife and no children, and he has nothing to worry about, and if he wins the bet, he will go back to my car repair shop and go to the brothers happily, and if he loses the bet, he will donate my property to the primary school in the poor mountainous area, which is also considered a good deed in my life......

Unexpectedly, after entering the detention center, the soul of this black fat man was sublimated, and the shining brilliance of human nature made Li Mengnan almost unable to open his eyes.

As for Li Mengnan himself, he really wasn't gambling on luck, since Wei Mao was desperately trying to recruit him to join the HX Research Institute, then he had reason to believe that the other party would not let him die in the so-called research test.

Less than two hours after the volunteer applied for the bookmark, a minibus with the word HX printed on it drove into the courtyard of the detention center and picked up Li Mengnan and six others, who had changed into civilian clothes.

Looking at the gray buildings that gradually disappeared from view behind him, Li Mengnan couldn't help but sigh a little, and he was even more frightened by the energy of this HX research institute.

Fishing out six murder suspects from the detention center at one time is probably difficult for even the governor of a province to do, right?

If this HX Institute is really just a non-governmental organization, as introduced by Euonymus, then how powerful and large is this organization?

Because of the particularity of the identity of Li Mengnan and others, this minibus has obviously undergone some modifications before coming, and a layer of steel plates has been installed between the front cab and the rear compartment as an isolation, and the glass windows on both sides are obviously much thicker than ordinary windows, and it is estimated that there is no problem in resisting a small-caliber rifle bullet.

Soon after the car drove out of the detention center, the window glass on both sides and behind suddenly turned a pitch-black color, completely blocking the outside light, and the roof lights turned on, and the angular face of the euonymus appeared in the LCD display in front of the car.

"Don't panic, everyone, the closure of the carriage is only due to the secrecy of the Institute...... Our next trip will take about five hours, in order to alleviate the loneliness of your journey, we HX Institute has specially prepared communication services for you, now as long as you open the seat back panel in front of you, you can access the Internet through our car network system, you can also make Internet calls to family and friends, and finally I wish you all a happy trip. ”

The people in the carriage were still a little commotion because of the sudden isolation, but after receiving timely clarification from Euonymus, they quickly quieted down, opened the back panel in front of them according to the prompts, put on headphones and began to contact their families.

Li Mengnan also dialed Xiao Hui's mobile phone as soon as possible.

"Hey, Mom."

"Xiao Nan? Is it really Xiao Nan? How can you make a call? I went to the detention center several times, but they didn't allow me to go in and visit...... Xiao Nan, mom is sorry for you, if mom hadn't gone to identify the body, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened......"

"Mom, don't cry, you see I'm fine!"

"Okay, it's okay, where are you now? Mom is going to pick you up. ”

"Mom, this is a long story, and I can't go back for the time being."

"Why? Xiao Nan, you ...... Escaped from prison? ”

"Uh...... I signed a confidentiality agreement, and it's inconvenient to disclose this matter to the public, but don't worry, Mom, I'm not escaping from prison, and I'll be going home soon. ”

"That'...... Okay, Xiao Nan, you are out by yourself, remember to take care of yourself, and call home if it is convenient. ”

"Well, got it, Mom...... By the way, I told Minnie Mouse and Boa that they shouldn't worry, and now that they are both in class, I won't call them. ”

After ending the call with his mother, Li Mengnan dialed Wu Ansu's mobile phone again.

"Monam?"

"Uh...... Susu, how do you know it's me? Li Mengnan didn't expect that before he could say anything, Wu Ansu directly called out his name.

"That euonymus sent me a text message just now, saying that the matter had been done, so as soon as I saw that there was a call from an unknown number, I guessed that it must be you...... Monnan, have you really been released? ”

Li Mengnan finally understood, he said how could this euonymus be so well-informed, he came to fish for him not long after he was imprisoned, it turned out that Wu Ansu sent a plea for help to the other party.

"Anyway, strictly speaking, I can't be considered to be released, but only conditionally and temporarily granted partial freedom......"

So, Li Mengnan briefly told Wu Ansu about the whole process of signing a volunteer agreement with the HX Institute.

Of course, he didn't mention anything about the non-disclosure agreement.

"I see...... Anyway, it's good that you can come out, and since the HX Institute can bring you out of the detention center, it can suppress your case, so that we police will have plenty of time to find other evidence to prove your innocence. ”

Although the two are already dating, Wu Ansu still doesn't seem to be able to adapt to this sudden change in the relationship, except for talking more about the case, he doesn't know what to say at all at other times, and he doesn't have the kind of intimacy that couples should have.

After chatting with Wu Ansu for more than ten minutes like an intellectual quiz, Li Mengnan really couldn't squeeze out any more topics, so he had to find an excuse and hang up the phone.

He suddenly regretted agreeing to have a relationship with Wu Ansu, this girl was so boring, talking on the phone with her was simply a kind of torture, often he said ten words, and only one or two words popped out on the other side, and maybe when suddenly there was nothing to say on both sides, followed by a long silence.

Perhaps when this incident is resolved and he regains his freedom, it is time to reconsider this relationship, which started a little hastily.

Hanging up the phone, Li Mengnan suddenly didn't know what to do in the remaining four hours.

Click on a domestic costume drama recommended by a video website at will, and after watching less than half an episode, I was almost thundered to the point of vomiting blood, so I had no choice but to close the page and open QQ.

Li Mengnan rarely chats about QQ, and applying for this thing is just to keep in touch with his past junior and senior high school classmates, occasionally going online to bubble up in the group of classmates, and most of the time he is hiding behind the screen to watch other people's nonsense.

However, it is class time at this moment, and the avatars of dozens of classmates and friends on QQ are all gray, and none of them are online.

Li Mengnan was about to turn off QQ offline, but a small speaker suddenly jumped in the lower right corner of the screen, prompting that a friend application had been received.

Clicking on the verification information, seeing that it said "Guess who I am", Li Mengnan couldn't help but let out a sneer.

He has seen a lot of this kind of specious verification information, and once he is added as a friend, he will either send a Trojan horse or send all kinds of advertisements, which is very disturbing.

He was about to turn it off directly, but suddenly found that the other party's QQ avatar seemed to be a little familiar, and when he clicked on the big picture, he saw that it was a beautiful girl with a delicate appearance.

Leyouyou? Wrong......

Li Mengnan suddenly remembered, Le Youyou said that she also has a sister who is two years younger than her, called Le Taotao, obviously the girl on the QQ avatar!

As soon as Li Mengnan added the other party as a friend, the other party sent a message.

"Li Mengnan? My sister's classmates? ”

Now Li Mengnan can be completely sure that this girl is Le Youyou's sister Le Taotao.

In fact, it can also be seen from the screen name that Leyouyou's screen name is "big foodie", and this Letaotao's is "snack goods".

"Are you Letaotao? How do you have my QQ number? ”

"You're an idiot! Of course, my sister gave it to me, and she said that you are a very interesting person, and I will talk to you when I am upset, and it is said that it will prevent depression. ”

"Oh? That's what your sister told you? But that's not what she told me. ”

"Huh? What did my sister tell you? ”

"She said she was going to introduce you to me as a girlfriend."

"Hmph, if you want to be beautiful and want to be my boyfriend, then come and chase me...... Well, for my sister's sake, I can give you a queue priority. ”

"Isn't it? That's your own sister, face is worth a queue priority? I've taken a screenshot, I'll go back and sue! ”

Li Mengnan's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised upward.

This girl named Le Taotao is completely different from Le Youyou, compared to her sister, she is really like a wealthy lady, as elegant and proud as a white swan.

But in the end, it's still a sister, this Le Taotao is very similar to Le Youyou, that is, she is very talkative, and she is also very knowledgeable, no matter what topic she talks about, she can go along with it, and there will never be a cold situation.

Among all the girls Li Mengnan knows, the most talkative friend is Le Youyou, and now it is obvious that this Le Taotao will be added.

Time slipped away little by little between the fingers and the keyboard, and the sound of euonymus prompting to get out of the car came from the speaker in the car, and Li Mengnan noticed that he had unconsciously chatted with this Le Taotao for more than four hours.

"Okay, snack goods, it's time for me to go offline, let's talk when I have a chance later...... I don't want the priority of queuing or something, and if you can't get married when you turn around, I can reluctantly help you out. ”

"Then I guess you won't have a chance in your life...... Forget it, today I see that you are chatting happily with this girl, and this girl will make an exception to give you some benefits. ”

While talking, a selfie of a girl was swiped in the QQ dialog box, pink cartoon one-piece velvet pajamas, two rabbit earlobes on both sides, and her face was as delicate as the person in the painting.

Even if he is used to seeing a beauty of Minnie Wu Ansu's level, Li Mengnan can't help but marvel at the beauty of the girl in the photo.

Maybe at first glance, this Le Taotao has no personal characteristics, it looks like a random search of a lot of pictures of beautiful women on the Internet, but Li Mengnan knows very well that those pictures on the Internet are the kind of PS that they don't even know their own mothers, and the delicacy of this Le Taotao is the real natural beauty.

It's no wonder that Le Youyou always shows pride when she talks about her younger sister.

"Cut, what kind of benefit is this, what about the good career line?" Li Mengnan replied with a smile.

"Humph! Don't get an inch! This girl is not one of those random girls on the Internet, who squeezes a career line to share at every turn...... If you want welfare, come and chase me, I became my boyfriend, not to mention the career line, even if it is erotic underwear, I can also wear it to you. ”

"Forget it, I can't afford to be a poor lady like you, I don't want to be tied up by your father's bodyguards and chopped up and fed to sharks......"

"Hmph, coward...... Okay, so be it, let's talk next time. ”

After saving the chat history to the cloud, Li Mengnan grabbed his personal belongings and got out of the car last.

The bus was parked in an underground parking lot, and Li Mengnan's desire to see the whole picture of the HX Institute was directly frustrated.

However, judging from the area and number of parking lots in this parking lot, the scale of this HX research institute is not very large, and it should be about the size of a five-star hotel.

Although Li Mengnan also knew that it was not appropriate to use a hotel to measure the architecture of a research institute, he really couldn't find a more appropriate reference.

Probably because the location is not a sensitive area, Li Mengnan did not see many security personnel along the way, but the surveillance cameras are scattered.

He probably mentally estimated the angle of these cameras, and found that it was almost completely blind spot surveillance, and it was simply impossible for anyone to get in and out of the place without breaking the cameras without being detected.

And a lot of the places here don't look like anything, but they give him a sense of extreme danger and death, and it's clear that the security measures here are not as lax as they seem.

In front of an elevator door, an underground corridor of several tens of meters through Guò, Euonymus opened a lockbox placed at the doorway, which was neatly stacked with dozens of watches of different styles.

"Come and come, those who see have a share, one for each person."

Although there were doubts about the use of these watches, after all, the contract had been signed, and no one questioned it, and they came forward to choose the style in the photo and carry it with their hands.

"You are very conscious of being a volunteer, and I am very pleased with that." Euonymus nodded, obviously satisfied with everyone's watch, "As a bonus, I'll explain to you the purpose of this watch - in addition to timing you, the built-in chip inside this watch is also your passport to the institute, and if you don't have this watch, the internal defense system will beat you into a sieve every minute."

By the way, if your watch beeps, it means that the direction you are going in is a forbidden area, that is, a place that you cannot enter with your permission, so please turn around and leave immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

In addition, the watch can also detect your physical condition, and the number jù will be automatically sent to the main computer of the institute, and we will have someone to adjust the recipe and training plan for you according to these numbers. ”

Li Mengnan chose a black and gray sports watch, and after taking it on, he took it off several times, and suddenly smiled: "I thought I wouldn't be able to take it off......

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the same group immediately changed, if it weren't for Li Mengnan's reminder, they wouldn't have thought of this possibility at all.

Euonymus also smiled, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to everyone, saying, "You think too much...... If someone escapes, unless he escapes to Mars, it will be the end of the world, and our HX Research Institute has a way to get him back, there is no need to engage in such a small trick that cannot be put on the table, it will only affect the trust of both parties. ”

Euonymus sent everyone to their quarters and left, before leaving, he just told everyone to rest and not leave this level, the first test will be conducted in a week, and someone will come to help them prepare.

However, for the test content that everyone cares about, Euonymus is still tight-lipped as a bottle.

The accommodation conditions arranged by the HX Institute for them are quite good, each of them has an independent bedroom of more than 20 square meters, all kinds of basic facilities are readily available, and there are many public places such as libraries, gyms, entertainment rooms, and small supermarkets on the floor, which are quite complete in terms of life.

At first, Li Mengnan thought that there were only six of them in the so-called test volunteers, but in the following week, many people came to the floor one after another, both men and women, and the ratio was about one to one.

According to Guo Debiao's inquiry, these people were also inmates who were brought up by the HX Institute from detention centers and prisons in several nearby cities after signing the same volunteer agreement.

Now even Li Mengnan can't figure out whether it was Euonymus who made such a big move in order to save him, or whether the HX Research Institute originally had this plan, and Euonymus just took advantage of the situation to fish him out of the detention center.
