Chapter XVIII: The Non-Existent Death Row Prisoner

Happy times always pass very quickly, and the night passes in the blink of an eye.

......

......

As a newcomer, on the first day he entered Arkham, he was sent to the "infirmary" and asked Professor Yang to personally wash the dust for him, which was almost the most worthy welcome ceremony in recent years. So the next morning, the entire prison was waiting to see what the newcomer would become after a night of hellish torture.

In fact, not only newcomers, but everyone who has been to the infirmary will become the focus of attention of this group of crazy criminals, because they really don't have anything to do every day, so it is a very good entertainment for them to see their fellow inmates being harmed by the scourge of life and death.

However, after the door to the prison was opened.

The expected cheers did not sound, no one sneered, and even many of the foul words that had been prepared for a long time were held in their throats and could not be spoken at all.

Because everyone was confused.

Seeing that Ziliang was fine, they walked in by themselves under the escort of two prison guards.

He staggered into his cell, waiting until the guards unlocked his handcuffs....... He was handed a pack of cigarettes.

Yes, it's a pack of cigarettes, a whole pack, in fact, it is more accurate to be a pack of four cigarettes, because after that, the prison guard took out four more cigarettes and put them on Ziliang's bed.

Ziliang's location is on the second floor, so there are many people on the upper and lower floors who can see this scene, most of these people have opened their mouths wide, and they stayed in place with a confused face, and a few people began to sleepwalk and began to pinch themselves, until their faces were pumped, they still couldn't believe it, and a few of them looked at the new prisoner stupidly, feeling that their legs were a little weak, and they slid to the ground along the iron railing.

......

Ziliang's hands were trembling.

But of course, this was not fear, but after a long period of muscle spasms caused by electric shocks, he trembled and picked up a cigarette on the bed, put it to his mouth, and then gave the prison guard behind him a generous look......

Immediately afterward, what made everyone's hearts furious was that the prison guard really took out the lighter...... I ordered it for him.

"Damn, what's the situation?" The people who saw this scene were not 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 sanatorium.

In fact, it is not to blame that the prisoners can have such a big reaction, over the years, these prisoners have seen countless crazy people with brutal temperaments, including themselves, but no matter how self-righteous people are, after going through the hands of Professor Yang, they have been destroyed and no longer dare to be arrogant.

So how could they ever see a person 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 it's impossible, because the sequelae of this muscle twitch is obviously the reaction after torture, or the most cruel one! So...... What the hell is going on with this man? Why is it as if nothing has happened, and what is the expression on his face, how does it seem to be very cool? And most importantly, where did his cigarettes come from?

No one knew what happened that night, not even the prison guards, but when they went to pick up the prisoner, they were surprised to find that he didn't seem to have changed much, but Professor Yang's face was a little bad...... And those cigarettes, you may not believe it, were all given to this person by Professor Yang.

The two prison guards thought that this man was too weird, so they quickly closed the cell door and left in a hurry.

As soon as the prison guards left, the whispers of the entire prison area began to sound, and those prisoners who could not see this scene due to their location began to desperately ask others what was going on, and the people who saw this scene were also distracted, and they did not understand how to explain this matter for a long time. The voices began to grow 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.

That's when it happened.

"Shut up."

A voice that wasn't too big, and lazy sounded.

For a while, the noise that had just been ignited was instantly quiet, and even some people who hadn't heard it at all subconsciously shut their mouths.

And this voice, of course, came from Ziliang, he leaned on the bed with a slumped face, and his mood seemed to suddenly become very bad.

After this night, he has basically broken through Professor Yang's psychological defense, and the specific method is to constantly lure him to torture himself more ferociously, and then after the torture, he gave some comments with a faint taste of humiliation, and made another bet by the way...... This seemingly simple method is extremely effective for some people with dark hearts, because the only thing a person like Professor Yang can do is to torture people, and he can only find some value of his own existence in the screams and pleading of prisoners, and at this time, if you completely ignore his torture methods, the stimulation to him is like the woman or man who gave him an extremely contemptuous ridicule after panting in the clouds and rain on the bed.

This is something he can't accept no matter what!

So, with this simple method, you can make the stakes bigger and bigger, from one cigarette, to two, to a whole pack, and finally ...... And even the name of "Prisoner No. 21".

In fact, this set of practices is indeed very useful, in order to maintain what little dignity he has, Professor Yang finally really checked for Ziliang who the No. 21 prisoner was.

However, the answer came to his surprise...... There was no prisoner number 21 at all.

......

It turned out that seven or eight years ago, the Arkham Asylum underwent an expansion, and after that, all the prisoners who came in were marked with letters and numbers, just like license plate numbers, and there was no pattern between all the numbers, completely random, for example, Ziliang's prisoner number was [35A51].

And the old-fashioned code name of "No. 21" prisoner has long been outlawed.

This news made Ziliang very depressed.

At the same time, he naturally noticed that almost all the changes in the city pointed to a certain time period seven or eight years ago.

"During that time...... What the hell is going on? ”

Ziliang crossed Erlang's legs, smoking a cigarette while thinking.

"Hey, it would be nice if the 'compass' was here, I haven't used my mind to think about things for a long time, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

He muttered, the smoke blurring his outline.
