Chapter 11: Seeing each other late
After experiencing an unprecedented long period of darkness and experiencing what it means to live a real life, Wei Chiliang had to admit that he underestimated the horror of confinement at the beginning.
From the calm face on the first day, to the restlessness on the second day, and then to the restlessness on the third day, Yu Chiliang felt that his spirit was being destroyed little by little by loneliness and darkness.
Zhong Xin hadn't bothered him since that morning, and no one had told him how long the confinement would last. This confusion and panic as if abandoned undoubtedly exacerbates the psychological pressure of the punished. It wasn't until noon on the fourth day that the door to the confinement chamber was suddenly opened, and the lunch that didn't arrive as scheduled was delivered, replaced by an order to "release the people".
Happiness and suffering also came too fast, and Wei Chiliang felt that his life was like a roller coaster, sometimes with ups and downs, sometimes the world was spinning, and everything was so unexpected.
There is no need to ask why, the two crimes of beating a prisoner and assaulting the police can be released in three and a half days, and someone must have done something to do it. Wei Chiliang has no intention of guessing the identity of that person anymore, as long as the facts show that he is safe for the time being and is sheltered by others, no matter whether that person's purpose is good or evil, he will always find a way to find out all this.
Out of the confinement room, just in time for the morning break. At this time, groups of prisoners were swarming from the processing plant on the upper floor towards the canteen on the fourth floor. Wei Chiliang touched his shriveled stomach, recalling the meals that had already been cold in the confinement room in the past few days, and couldn't help but be full of anticipation for the newly cooked food. He took a deep breath and took a few steps to blend in with the crowd, completely oblivious to the strange glances cast at him by the people around him.
When he walked to the cafeteria, he still lined up to eat as before, but as soon as he stood in the line, the person in front of him automatically gave him a place. He looked at the people suspiciously, and didn't understand what was going on for a while, when he heard the person in front of him say to him with a smile: "Boss, you come first." ”
Yu Chiliang was made to cry and laugh by this sudden scene, and said in his heart that it would not be so, Lao Tzu was forced to be helpless when he was mad that day! Although he shouted that he wanted to be the boss of the prison, in fact, as long as no one dared to trouble him anymore, he was already satisfied.
It's a good thing, it's estimated that most of the people in the prison regard him as a veritable madman. Not to mention that no one will dare to trouble him in the future, even if he walks sideways in prison, no one will dare to come up and stop him.
For a while, he couldn't describe whether he felt proud or helpless in his heart, but if he continued like this, it seemed that his life would be a little more peaceful.
After preparing the meal, Wei Chiliang did not deliberately look for his cellmate in cell No. 4 in the crowd, but Xiao Shi still spotted him at a glance and shouted not far away, "Brother Liang, come here." "No way, no matter where he goes now, the return rate can reach more than 90%, such a conspicuous existence, it is difficult to ignore him. He followed the prestige and saw that Liu Jinpeng and Qian Heng were sitting nearby, so he walked over there without hesitation.
"Brother Liang, you came out so soon? I thought you had committed such a big crime that you would be locked up for at least a week. Liu Jinpeng asked curiously while putting rice in his mouth, with a puzzled expression on his face.
Wei Chiliang showed a look of indifference. He put down the tray full of food, sat next to Liu Jinpeng, and replied pretending to be relaxed: "Good performance, let it out in advance!" ”
"Damn, that's okay?" Liu Jinpeng almost didn't choke, he hurriedly drank a big mouthful of soup, turned his head sideways, looked at Wei Chiliang with great admiration and said, "Brother Liang, you teach me, and I will try it next time I am confined." ”
"Yes, teach me too." Xiao Shi hurriedly chimed in.
Seeing the two little ghosts believing it to be true, Wei Chiliang secretly felt funny, thought for a while and then casually said: "Actually, they didn't let me out, I injured him when the prison guards brought me food, and ran out secretly." I locked him in the iron bed of the confinement cell, and I guess no one has found him yet. ”
"Really?" Xiao Shi asked innocently with a star, as if he didn't think it was strange that such a thing happened to Yu Chiliang.
Wei Chiliang laughed when he heard this, and a few seconds later, Liu Jinpeng also laughed, and even Qian Heng, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but pat Xiaoshi's head and said, "Silly boy, you are too easy to be fooled." Little Stone felt that his IQ had been insulted, and he blushed a little in embarrassment.
While a few people were talking and laughing, Liu Jinpeng suddenly caught a glimpse of a white-faced scholar-like man walking towards them calmly. He vigilantly nudged Wei Chiliang, who was bowing his head and picking up vegetables, and the latter raised his head in surprise, and his gaze just met the man walking opposite.
"Let's go to the activity room after dinner, I'd like to talk to you." Shen Hang said unhurriedly, still with that indifferent expression on his face.
Wei Chiliang looked at the other party in a daze, a little puzzled in his heart, wondering if this person would secretly plot against him in order to avenge that night. Shen Hang seemed to see through his thoughts, and without waiting for him to reply, he said to himself: "Don't worry, it's not what you think." After saying that, he left quietly.
Several people were silent for a moment, and Yu Chiliang suddenly remembered something, looked around and asked Liu Jinpeng, "How is Master Bao?" Why didn't I see him coming for lunch? ”
Liu Jinpeng shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Bao Ye can be repaired by you this time." The beaters have been released, and the victim is still lying on the hospital bed. ”
"Really?" Wei Chiliang showed a guilty expression, which may seem a little hypocritical to others, but he really felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Ten minutes later, the four of them finished lunch one after another. Xiaoshi rushed ahead and put away Yu Chiliang's dinner plate. The latter just smiled with satisfaction, didn't say anything, got up and walked out of the cafeteria.
As soon as he took a few steps, Liu Jinpeng caught up and asked, "Brother Liang, go to the activity room?" ”
"Hmm." Wei Chi nodded absentmindedly. Liu Jinpeng saw that Wei Chiliang didn't seem to be interested in talking, so he closed his mouth in amusement.
The activity room was not as lively as expected. Shen Hang sat alone in an inconspicuous corner, surrounded by empty surroundings. When Wei Chiliang just walked to him and sat down, he pointed to Liu Jinpeng, who came with him, and said to Yu Chiliang: "Let's talk about it alone." ”
Wei Chiliang glanced at Liu Jinpeng, who understood, smiled awkwardly and walked away. Wei Chiliang said straight to the point: "It's so mysterious, I guess you must have nothing good to do with me." ”
"It's good or bad, depending on what you think." Shen Hang smiled slightly, and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes, which rarely showed true feelings. "Do you want to leave this place?" He asked softly.
"Of course." Wei Chiliang replied immediately without thinking about it. Although he was full of curiosity and doubts about the place, he was willing to try it if he had the opportunity to regain his freedom.
"Do you think you have a way to get out of here?" Shen Hang then asked.
Wei Chiliang was slightly stunned, as if he had guessed what Shen Hang wanted to talk to him about. He looked back at the prison guards who were maintaining order in the activity room, there was still some distance from him, and he looked up at several surveillance cameras above, but he couldn't capture his mouth when he spoke, so he frowned and asked in a low voice: "You want to escape from prison, and you want to take me with you, right?" ”
"You're really smart, and I like to deal with people like you." Shen Hang nodded approvingly and said, "I'm sure you can also see that this ghost place is very strange." I don't know what they're trying to do by keeping us here, but it's certainly not going to end well for prisoners like you and me who can be shot several times when they pull us out. ”
Wei Chiliang pursed his lips in agreement, and then asked curiously, "How long have you been locked in?" ”
"It's almost half a year." Shen Hang sighed softly.
"Have you been looking for an escape?"
"I've thought about it many times, but ......"
"You never thought of a good idea, did you?" Wei Chiliang helped Shen Hang complete the words, and then said, "The escape of this underground prison is very difficult, the design of the ventilation ducts and drainage pipes is different from that of conventional buildings, except for digging a tunnel to escape, you can only escape through the entrance and exit connected to the ground. As far as I know so far, I only know of two exits to the outside world. One is the entrance when we are sent to prison, but that opening is in the deepest part of Sector X, and there is no theoretical chance of approaching it. So ......"
Yu Chiliang paused, "The only opportunity to try it is the warehouse on the negative floor." However, it is only open to a small number of prisoners at certain times, and it is guarded all year round, so it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of the loopholes. So to sum up, it's almost impossible to escape from this underground prison by outwitting me, which is why you're looking for me, am I right? ”
Shen Hang listened to Wei Chiliang's narration in surprise, and his indifferent face finally couldn't contain a happy expression. "I knew I wasn't looking for the wrong person." He said frankly, "Actually, before I was imprisoned, I often heard rumors about you. Although the outside world describes you as terrible, I have always felt that you are just a psychopathic rich second generation. Maybe it's because of the hatred of the rich, I don't have a good impression of people like you who are born superior. But through your performance in prison, I recognize your abilities and believe that with your help, we can escape from this hellish place. ”
"In terms of skill, there are not a few prisoners in prison who can dare to fight. You are more familiar with Xu Sanbao than with me, why didn't you cooperate with him, but chose me? ”
"No, I don't want to run for my life with that brave guy." Shen Hang replied disdainfully, then looked at Wei Chiliang seriously and said, "I fancy your skills on the one hand, and on the other hand, I chose you to plan for the future." I don't want to live my life in hiding as an escaped prisoner, I want to find a new place and start over. Although I no longer have the same power as before, I still have a way to get the two of us abroad through my old connections. I believe in my ability, and I believe in your ability, as long as the two of us are together, we will definitely be able to make a comeback and achieve a great cause. ”
Wei Chiliang didn't rush to answer, nor did he rush to ask Shen Hang if he already had a specific plan, but just looked at him incredulously and said, "I really don't understand, why does a person with brains like you have to do such a bad thing of abducting women and children?" ”
Shen Hang laughed, then shook his head helplessly, didn't know how to answer for a while, and asked Wei Chiliang instead, "What about you?" Why did you, a promising young man with a bright future, become a serial killer? ”
"This ......" Wei Chiliang was also asked all of a sudden. Yes, the motive for a crime is sometimes not something that can be explained in a few words.
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and then they were silent.
