The heat kept rising on the teacup, and Ran Zhi quietly watched some recent news, and the city became more and more stable.

There are a lot of desserts on the table in the living room, small and exquisite, Ran Zhi has eaten some of each, it is close to 11 o'clock, but Ran Zhi has told the people of the 11 department that he wants to eat again at 12:30 today, and today's lunch is black pepper fried chicken nuggets with good black tea.

After Ran Zhi turned off the light and shadow screen, he came to the window full of fences, looking at the prisoners who had just returned from work in the wind field below, he smiled and shook his head, the two-year prison life was fleeting, and Ran Zhi even almost forgot that he was in prison for a while.

Everything is fine in prison, just at 8 o'clock this morning, Ran Zhi just met his son and daughter, and they sent 1 million this year.

In this prison, there are many businessmen like Ran Zhi who have been involved in commercial crimes because of the black gold problem, Ran Zhi will chat with some businessmen and prison friends next to him from time to time, and the 11th section is also trustworthy, and the price of the cell under the auction did not increase at the beginning.

Now a cell has been auctioned for a high price of 1.5 million, but there is still a demand, and there are now 30 such rooms.

In this kind of unattended place, no matter how the prisoners are treated, no one will take care of them, and the merchants who went out are also tight-lipped and do not say anything about the problems here, and even some merchants take the initiative to help hide the problems here.

After all, everyone knows that one day it will come in again, and it will be over at that time.

Today Ran Zhi wanted to go to the wind field below, he pressed an emergency notification button on a light and shadow screen next to the door, and soon two people from 11 departments came over, opened the door, and as soon as Ran Zhi went out, the two of them respectfully guarded Ran Zhi left and right, all the way down.

"Mr. Ran Zhi, it's great to believe in you."

"Yes, thanks to you, we've made a lot of money in the stock market."

Ran Zhi smiled and nodded.

"Small."

Sitting in the elevator dedicated to the members of the bureau, he came all the way to the cafeteria at the bottom, at this time, many prisoners seemed to be extremely hungry, waiting to eat, and many people's eyes looked at Ran Zhi's neck, without a collar.

Soon Ran Zhi encountered a lot of hateful eyes, and there were many privileged prisoners in the prison, all of whom did not need to wear collars, and this kind of prisoner usually did not have any intersection with other ordinary prisoners.

A large number of prisoners who were playing basketball or football on the wind field noticed Ran Zhi at this time, and many people gathered together and pointed at Ran Zhi, but they didn't dare to say anything, no prisoner dared to do anything to these special prisoners, because once they did, the result would be miserable, they were like guests of the 11th Division, and they were escorted by people from the Acting Division.

Ran Zhi tilted his head and looked at the somewhat dazzling sun, in these days in prison, Ran Zhi knew better what kind of benefits money could bring to him.

People are deteriorating, Ran Zhi knows this very well, no matter how good a person is in the past, after constantly being contaminated with some colors, the accumulation of quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes, and recently Ran Zhi often dreams of his young self.

Ran Zhi used to think about a question, whether he was a good person or a bad person, but now he no longer thinks about these problems, when he was young, he was ridiculed by the so-called fate again and again, and pushed to the point of almost collapse again and again, but Ran Zhi never collapsed, he felt that he should have survived.

Ran Zhi smiled and glanced at the prisoners in the wind field, and at this time he noticed that in a corner, there was a man squatting without a collar, with a clean face, pale skin, skinny, expressionless face, and the whole person looked a little gloomy.

"That's ......."

"Hydra."

Ran Zhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the person in the Hydra case who had been written into various textbooks in the city was here.

Ran Zhi walked over slowly, the picture of himself picking up the gun flashed in his mind from time to time, a smile appeared on his face, at this time Ran Zhi slowed down, he could feel that Hydra huddled in the corner, his whole body was releasing a dangerous signal to the outside world.

Looking at Hydra's appearance, the wise man couldn't help but think of an incident from the past, a long time ago, before he picked up the gun.

One day, on the way to help Ran Zhi on the construction site, his father forgot to bring tools, so Ran Zhi volunteered to help his father go back to get tools, and then that day Ran Zhi still remembered that the light was really dazzling, dazzling to a little dazzling, and his own dilapidated house looked a little different in the sun.

The blood-stained floor, the messy room, the mother fell naked in a pool of blood, and the sunlight sprinkled on the blood, a little dazzling, even more dazzling than usual.

The father's weeping, the gossip of the neighbors, because the mother was unable to do heavy physical labor before her death, the father worked hard to take care of the mother, wanted to give the mother a good living environment, and gave the best things to himself and his mother.

Mother will do some fine work at home every day, will dress up a little, because she wants to greet the father and son who have come home after a hard day with a beautiful and gentle attitude, people nearby often say behind their backs that the mother dresses up beautifully every day to hook the rich, and the father just smiles, because he knows very well that everything his mother does just wants to add a touch of beauty to this seemingly bleak home.

The local administrators, knowing who did it, but no one came forward, after the father and son were tied up in a room after dealing with their mother's funeral, they threatened the father to stop talking nonsense, and then gave the father a sum of money.

Ran Zhi still remembers that when his father returned home at that time, he began to pack up his things, obviously very painful, and he knew who it was, but even if he chose to move out, his father still did not do anything out of the ordinary, but taught himself every day that he must be honest and must have his own bottom line and principles.

Although Ran Zhi didn't know, he lived in anger and pain every day, but then he gradually understood that his father was because of himself, and his father never wanted to let himself be contaminated with hatred and anger, and he always just followed what his mother said, to cultivate himself into an excellent person.

In the end, Ran Zhi grew up, and gradually understood what was behind his father's cowardice and patience, and he also understood that cowardice was not a strong manifestation at some times.

However, fate is still constantly at work, Ran Zhi lost his father, and his father made a choice at the moment when his legs were amputated, not wanting to cause any burden to Ran Zhi.

After the death of his father, a series of tragedies struck again, and the only girl Ran Zhi loved chose to endure humiliation for herself.

Ran Zhi knew very well that he should have died that night, or that Ran Zhi had already died that night.

After his wife faced the evil again and again, Ran Zhi still chose cowardice, just like many people at the bottom, only cowardice can protect himself and everything that needs to be carried behind him.

Ran Zhi did it and succeeded, and finally got happiness and reaped the ransom he had paid to fate.

"Are you Hydra? My name is Ran Zhi. ”

Ran Zhi smiled and squatted in front of Hydra, his head began to roar in an instant, and the surrounding voices began to fade away, he felt that this man was also a cowardly man, and his years of prison life had probably wiped out the last trace of his mind.

A pair of dazed and empty eyes, there was nothing left in his body, he should have died a long time ago, just a walking corpse.

"I'd like to invite you to lunch!"

Ran Zhi smiled and stretched out a hand, but Hydra didn't respond, looking at Ran Zhi with a vacant look.

Ran Zhi didn't plan to leave, his outstretched hand didn't retract, he knew very well that if he didn't do something, this cowardly person, who was as cowardly as his past self, would die, and the moment he was released from prison, he would choose to die, because he had nowhere to go, and there was no way out.

As the minutes passed, many people in the prison looked strangely at the man who had been squatting beside Hydra in the corner of the courtyard wall, many people had seen this man, a wealthy businessman, who was arrested for participating in money laundering.

"What are you thinking!"

Hydra finally spoke, her voice dry and gloomy.

"What do you think?"

The four eyes met, and for a while Hydra's expression changed slightly, Ran Zhi smiled and nodded, the hand that was originally stretched out pressed on Hydra's shoulder, and the other hand was also put up, for a while, Hydra's eyes widened, his expression began to move, and his originally cold face like frost recovered some temperature.

Ran Zhi had understanding in his eyes, smiled inclusively, hugged Hydra, the sun shone behind the two little by little, and Hydra looked at the light behind Ran Zhi in a daze.

"Let's have lunch, Mr. Hydra!"

For a while, Hydra's head nodded involuntarily, and his eyes, which were originally a little dry, moistened, and he felt Ran Zhi's kind invitation, as well as the understanding in his eye expression, including the warm embrace that made his body feel cold for more than ten years.

Ran Zhi was very happy today, he smiled and tilted his head, under the strange eyes of the two staff members, he opened his arms and bathed in the sun.

"You two, can you please help me get a good lunch? And dinner, and I hope to be able to spend the New Year with Mr. Hydra tonight. ”

Hydra shuddered and looked at the man in front of him, who was neither tall nor tall, he was the first person who truly understood himself.

In the past, many people comforted him, and Perrystein and Tamaii would come to him every day, but Hydra never felt the slightest warmth, because they sympathized with him, including many people in the prison who sympathized with him in the past.

and the current Operations Section, which prescribes the conditions for itself, can directly choose the department you like after being released from prison and become a Level 3 official.

Hydra didn't need any mercy, he didn't need any good conditions, his heart immersed in a damp and dark corner, just a little respect, an understanding smile, a warm hug, and a gesture of kindness were enough.

And the man in front of him did it, but it was very simple, Hydra brushed away his tears, and looked at the light at his feet, his cowardly eyes were full of fear.

"Let's go, Mr. Hydra! The application is down. ”

Ran Zhi smiled and made a gesture of please, Hydra hesitated, but the confusion in his eyes was constantly disappearing.

"You can't catch it, Mr. Hydra!"

Ran Zhi raised a hand, raised it above his head, blocked it in front of him, looked at the reddened fingers, and then laughed, with a slightly bitter smile in his smile.

Ran Zhi knew very well what was going on in Hydra's heart, and he had gradually become a case, a symbol, and the end result of the justice that some people had paid for and believed in.

There have been countless discussions about Hydra in the city, and within the department, especially Alpha, she has constantly spoken up for Hydra, and she has a strong sense of justice in her heart, and this rational sense of justice drives her to zero out the trial that was unjust because of public opinion.

And among them, there is a famous cartoonist, Perry Stein, he keeps speaking for Hydra, this voice is even stronger, in Ran Zhi's view, Perry Stein's voice is strong, as strong as a beam of light, but the light will not stop, and even will not notice the shadows, this kind of partial justice comes from the people, because of the imbalance of social justice caused by the deterioration of the city's environment, just at that point in time, Hydra hit the muzzle.

However, this matter has been debated all these years, and everyone wants to restore justice in the Hydra case, and Ran Zhi does not see anything wrong with their approach.

The light was too strong enough to cover everything, enough to drown out all the darkness, but the darkness did not disappear, but remained.

No one noticed what Hydra really needed, everyone just took him as a symbol, a case, but in fact Hydra was a person, a person who was alive, had a heartbeat, and could breathe.

Whether he is guilty or not, in Ran Zhi's opinion, is no longer very important, because this is meaningless to Hydra, whether he is guilty or not guilty in the real debate, all he really needs in his heart is an ordinary and warm sunshine.

Ran Zhi stretched out a hand and looked at Hydra still hesitating, he didn't turn around, but looked at Hydra seriously.

"Thank you!"

A trembling hand stretched out, a little by little from the shadows, Ran Zhi pulled Hydra and pulled him out of the shadows, Hydra's eyes widened for a moment, and for the first time he felt the light shining on his body, extremely warm.

"If you want to catch the light, you have to learn how to get the light on you, Hydra!"

Ran Zhi smiled, and Hydra followed.

"If you don't know, I can teach you!"

Some memories began to pop up again, Ran Zhi taught a low-level one-eyed gourd something a few years ago, he should be living a good life now, that little fox is also a cowardly person like Hydra next to him, Ran Zhi pulled him out of the abyss of cowardice.

In his memory, only Eddie understands everything about himself, and Ran Zhi naturally knows everything about Eddie, so Ran Zhi decided to help Eddie and pull up those who are desperate because of cowardice.

After all, there are very few geniuses, so few that they are pitiful, no one is a genius like Alpha, who can control his own destiny and can become the existence that everyone advertises, but Ran Zhi knows very well that the light that is too strong will not dispel the shadows on the ground, but may continue to enlarge the shadows, so big that the light can no longer reach the place.

12 o'clock in the morning

With a furious roar, a young doctor angrily kicked a scrawny man, spilling food on the floor, and the man hugged his head and cried, his expression perverse and his speech a little confused.

The young doctor gasped, he looked at the patient who had been kicked and broken in the head, he himself was going crazy, he couldn't stand it anymore, everything in this Frye mental hospital.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what the hell did I do!"

The young doctor looked at the agonized patient, the emaciated man, a slave.

Most of the slaves who entered the hospital, with the help of all walks of life, some of them returned to normal and went to work in some factories, and many people who were slaves from birth continued to stay here to study and help manage some seriously ill people, and more and more slaves returned to society, but there were often mentally ill people who were sent in.

A hand was pressed on the young doctor's shoulder, and Frye walked in with a smile, and the young doctor looked at Frye in a daze, and Frye smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, it's okay, you go to dinner, just let me come here."

Frye walked up to the patient, crouched on the ground, looked at his broken head, and carefully reached out to deal with it, but the patient suddenly hugged Frye like crazy and tore up, while Frye just smiled, grinning slightly because of the pain.

The young doctor watched dumbfounded, trying to stop it, only to find that the patient's strength seemed to be decreasing.

"If you don't eat, you won't get better, Mr. 2059!"

The patient kept shaking his head and continued to curl up in the corner, looking in pain, most of the people who came here didn't even remember their names, only their work numbers.

Frye looked at the food on the floor, began to organize it with his hands, and put it in the box.

"Get me a clean one."

A moment later, the young doctor brought a meal, only to see that Frye was already eating, the meal that had just fallen on the floor.

"Dr. Fry, you ......."

"I'm still in good health, after all, food is tight and can't be wasted."

Frye brought the meal to 2059, he trembled, his eyes flashed, and Frye took out the spoon and held it in his hand.

"Trust me! I'll heal you all. ”

After a while, 2059 quieted down, obediently ate, and fell asleep.

"Dr. Fry, I'm really sorry, he won't eat, if he continues like this, he'll starve to death, so I'm a little emotional......."

Frye smiled and patted the young doctor on the shoulder.

"Once you start to feel that you are doing this for his good, you might as well think about it, coax him to eat like a child, it's okay, the work pressure here is really high, you can persevere, I am very relieved, thank you!"

Frye said as he walked up and stepped into a room with a smile.

"Miss 1391, the weather seems to be pretty good today, I heard that you planted a seed today, can you let me see it?"

The young doctor looked at Frye quietly, many of the doctors who came here to help in the past were enthusiastic at first, but many of them couldn't hold on for three months, but Frye was different, every day as if he was greeting his neighbors, every day he would make rounds until the evening, he would chat with patients from time to time, even if they were crazy, he would still take every patient seriously.

There are still 11 doctors left in the entire Frye Mental Hospital, but half of them are already planning to leave, they can't stand it anymore, and the passion and enthusiasm of the past have been tormented by this group of madmen and are about to disappear.

At this point, Frye smiled and nodded, looking at the black stone that 1391 was holding in his hand, the woman was smiling silly, but the smile was very innocent.

"Very good, Miss 1391 will grow, when the seeds grow, you will be fine!"

At this time, there was a roar of machinery outside the hospital, some doctors ran out, Frye walked out quickly, it was a 4-section take-off and landing plane, and a new batch of medicines was delivered, and many doctors began to help with the medicines.

Frye walked over gratefully, and Hua Shen had already carried a light and shadow surgery bag and walked over.

"It's always bothering you."

"Just take me there, just call me if someone needs surgery."

Frye snorted, he looked at the tired doctors next to him, and knew that they had done their best, they had really done their best, and now there were more than 100 patients who needed surgery, such a large amount, the number of doctors was a little scarce, and many of them had been delayed for a long time, and they couldn't be delayed any longer, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

Every time, the only person Huashen can rely on is Huashen, and he will come to the hospital to help without hesitation, and he never complains.

"You've become your ideal doctor, Fry!"

Frye was a little surprised, the two were in a large room, preparing to operate on a patient, Hua Shen smiled, raised a hand, and green particles floated in the air.

"Remember, we used to talk about what a doctor is! I'm glad to see you on your own path as a healer. ”

Frye choked up and snorted, he was able to walk on this road in the true sense of the word, all thanks to Huashen, thanks to the fact that he has always been like a lighthouse on the pitch black sea level, as long as you look at the lighthouse, you can find the sea route.

There are still 13,023 people in the psychiatric hospital, and most of the hospitals don't want to take in the mentally ill who don't have money, so basically the mentally ill people in the city are rushing here.

With the donation of the city association, the basic house is basically complete, and there are all those old household appliances, and there are some cars to pass through the area near the hospital, and the most scarce thing is food.

The food society donates some food every month, but now that the amount of food is getting smaller and smaller, the only thing Frye can do is distribute it to people in different situations.

Most of the high-quality food is distributed to some children who are still growing, as well as some seriously ill patients, although those who are sent by the hospital, their families and some hospitals will give some money, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

Some of the teachers who teach here are free of charge, and some have donated their salaries, and the punitive fines of the original family can solve most of the problems, but this compensation is not a one-time payment, but a phased payment.

Frye couldn't accept this, he had run the general affairs department many times, and Locke only told him that because he still needed to be convicted by the Law Department, Frye only knew that this huge amount of punitive damages had been filled in the construction.

Choosing the majority over the minority has left Frye with no longer able to keep his composure, and he had a fight with Locke in the General Services section last year.

But in the end, Fry chose not to say anything, he could only grit his teeth and carry it on, he thought of Alpha at first, but in the end he didn't say anything to Alpha, because Frye knew very well that the Angus family's predicament, if Congress didn't save the Angus family, they would be finished, and once it was finished, this construction project related to the lives of the whole city would be difficult to implement, and the city would collapse.

Frye quietly looked at Huashen, who had already started to operate, he didn't care about power as always, he was only immersed in his own medical world, and Frye couldn't do it to the extent of Huashen.

The land under their feet belonged to the Angus family, and it was also because the Angus family gave this place to Frye, and also paid for Frye to build a mental hospital, and now these slaves have a place to live.

Locke also said that he could only wait for the tax revenue to increase slowly, and then slowly use the money to rebuild the lives of the slaves here, and now there are more than 7,000 slaves working in the factory, but the remaining more than 130 million, this amount is extremely large, plus there are a large number of mentally ill people.

"Have faith in yourself and be fry, you can do it."

Hua Shen, who was undergoing surgery, looked at Frye with a tired face, he smiled and nodded, he couldn't trouble Alpha anymore, she had helped herself too much, she had helped the city too much, and she also needed to have her own life.

Even Alpha's own family, in front of her, she did not leave any affection, which is difficult for many people to do, and at this time, the Angus family can no longer have too big problems, otherwise the construction of the city will be difficult to complete.

In more than 20 years of working with the couple, Frye knew that the couple really wanted to do something for the city and make it a better place.

Smack

A small bag was still in front of Frye, and the banknotes inside were revealed, and Frye was a little surprised, looking at Hua Shen, who was still undergoing surgery.

"Although the money is not much, part of it is my salary, and part of it is that after I helped some rich people have surgery, they forced it into me, and I put it away, there are more than 300,000 yuan."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Frye said, and Huashen smiled and nodded.

"At least this money is enough for the people here to eat for more than ten days, come on!"

Frye snorted, his emotions were a little uncontrollable for a while, he wiped his tears, picked up the money on the ground, turned around and left, and hurriedly called a liquid food supply company, at the price of 5 cents a can, he spent all the more than 300,000 yuan in his hand, and they said that the food would be delivered in the afternoon at most.

Frye leaned back against the wall, there was a lot of noise outside, a lot of crazy talk, he was a little tired, so he curled up in his chair and closed his eyes.
