14. The Inhuman (4)
Let's get out together.
Sinking his voice, the extremely cautious Jian yì invited to sound in the iron box, and then disappeared quickly
With the same situation, similar experiences, and almost the same desire to become stronger, there seems to be no reason why the two boys should not collaborate.
"Are you stupid? or are you taking me for a fool?"
Richer social experiences allow mixed-race people to have no extravagant hopes for the so-called "humanity" and "goodwill", and unthinking irony puts forward the unrealistic and utopian Roland.
Adequate security, thoughtful incarceration and restraint measures, and the sheer disparity in numbers and physical fitness between children and adult guards - ignoring the above insurmountable limitations, the guy who proposes to "escape together" is either brain-soaked or has ulterior motives.
The half-breed boy has tried to escape from prison three times, the closest to success is only 5 meters away from the gate of freedom, and with his jumping power, he can reach the distance that can be reached by a single leap, and he can only get out of this prison by a fraction of a millimeter.
An arm about his age, reaching out from the cage fence on which he was standing, grabbed the ankle that was ready for the final jump.
The slight hope of a short delay was dashed, and the closest escape to success was dashed by a human child who was also a prisoner or a commodity, out of reluctance or grasping for hope.
Every child in the cage longs to be able to escape, but if the person who escapes from this [storehouse] is not himself, when the back of freedom fades from the eyes, hope will become the worst loss. Actions such as dragging their feet and framing will immediately follow the outburst of jealousy.
In a desperate situation where there is no hope in sight. This kind of thing is very normal.
With a sense of justice, compassion, and kindness, Roland's Tiyì is only ridiculed in a small iron box.
"I'm serious, anyway. If two people cooperate with each other and act together, they will be more able to disperse the guard, and the possibility of escape will be greater. β
"You ......"
The little surprise came from the bottom of my heart, and I was not angry or discouraged when I was treated like a fool, and I continued to prove myself with reasonable mentions. The half-breed readjusts his inner evaluation of Roland.
[This guy. It's not simple. γ
"The chances do increase, but that's just better for me, right? You can't be as fast as me whether it's running or jumping. It won't be long before you get caught. Is it okay to make a proposal that doesn't do you any good?"
He is 2 years older than Roland and has seen all kinds of tricks of fraudsters and gangsters. The half-breed knew that "things that don't cost money are the most dangerous", and the triangular pointed ears that had been half-drooping stood up. A not-so-subtle vigilance and threat came out of the mouth of the boy who calmed the astonishment.
"If I was to be the bait......
People are able to lie, and those who have been deceived once will not only be more vigilant, but also have a dark psychological component of deceiving others to compensate for their loss and resentment.
"Do you have a better choice? All the previous prison escapes on your own have failed, right?"
The obvious fact made him fall into the dilemma of not being able to speak again, but Roland's mood became even worse.
Clear facts as a shield, unquestionable logic as a sword, finding the slightest hole in the other person's words and striking at them - these are not things that the stupid Roland, who has always lost to Chloe in terms of eloquence, can do.
Imitating the language skills that a guy who is good at [persuading others] in the cognitive range may use under such conditions, what is rummaging in his mind is sometimes gushing, sometimes sneering in a nutshell, and more importantly, he can't forget the embarrassing appearance of being severely reprimanded after being punched by that guy to the point where he can only yell and scream to resist. ...,
It's embarrassing to be taught that way. But he had to imitate Li Lin's high-pressure posture to persuade others to be even more humiliating than that.
"Don't talk big! I could still find a way to break the lock to get out of that little cage before, but now this iron box can only be opened from the outside, and you don't have any chance!"
The fact that the whole body is carefully tied and can only squirm like a taro worm is very wrong for a child. The two boys huddled side by side in the iron box, unable to move, which was even more exaggerated and terrifying. Even adults are not confident that they can survive such treatment. No matter how bold a person is, he will gradually become mentally abnormal in the extremely poor light and unable to move in the iron box, and these two children would have collapsed and deranged if they had not experienced a hellish and tragic incident.
There is no possibility that ZΓ i will succeed in escaping from prison, and their strength is not enough to change their tragic fate of being sold as a commodity or plaything.
"My name is Roland!
"What's the name of a girl? No matter what it's called, your brain must be flooded, and Uncle Ben is helpless. What can you do like a fool who has been cheated out of and sold here......?
"It's just that you can't do anything for the time being, you don't give up and run away. β
β......οΌοΌβ
"There are things that you have to run away and live to do. β
"Your ......"
"Me too. β
I don't want to die, I don't want to be sold, I have to live no matter what, and I want to live with integrity.
Until you get past that guy - you must not die.
The stirring mood quickened the pace and intonation of his voice, and the small sound filtered by the bars disrupted Vince's coarse snoring, and the storehouse was immediately silent as it should be at midnight. The cell boss flipped over with the key at his waist, and after a creepy crunch, Vince smacked his lips a few times, and his muffled and noisy snoring went from low to high again.
"Your name is Roland...... Right. β
The beastly boy moved his lips and stripped his protective color of contempt and arrogance, and the thirsty voice, so faint that the air could barely vibrate, was not missed by Roland.
"Aren't you worried that I'll sell you?"
β...... Lose sleep over something. β
It is impossible not to worry, and it is impossible not to be vigilant and aware of this.
There is no hiding and evasion, and he is frank about his answers.
Pressing on what may be a lifetime of gambling chips, you must be surrounded by a trusted companion who can be trusted behind you with peace of mind, otherwise even the last bit of expectation and hope will disappear when you are crazy about betting.
"But it's useless to worry, what has been said and promised, you will always be worried about being betrayed by others, right?"
Even if they have only been betrayed once, after feeling the piercing pain of the cone, people will no longer trust others lightly, and learn to look at and speculate with suspicion what people close to them say, do, and what kind of calculations are behind them.
