Text Prologue Chapter 21 Captivity
I saw a circle of small heads around Bai Yujie's body, and the dim light reflected it, which was very scary.
Seeing that he woke up, the crowd next to him began to chatter, still in a language he didn't understand.
After a while, perhaps seeing that he didn't react, the voice of the discussion gradually became quieter, and a person who seemed to be the leader approached.
When he got closer, Bai Yujie realized that this was not just a child?
Unkempt, but you can see that the foundation is still very good, and the face should be quite white, thinking of the long-haired man before, it seems that there is really a lot of fresh meat in this world.
According to the previous life, the child in front of him was about seventeen or eighteen years old, Bai Yujie had a bad culture during his lifetime, and he didn't know how to describe the appearance of the little white face in front of him, but he only knew that if he got a haircut and took a bath, he should be very handsome if he cleaned up.
The only thing worth caring about is his eyes, which are very sharp, and there is a faint feeling of contempt for the world, which is very unusual.
"This is a man with a story. ”
Bai Yujie has a judgment at the moment, and he can read a lot of things from a person's eyes, this is the experience that Bai Yujie summed up in society in his previous life, people's expressions and behaviors can lie, but the eyes can't be faked. The things in the eyes of the child in front of him are very deep, and it is not something that ordinary people can have.
I saw what the child said to Bai Yujie, as if he was asking, and surprisingly Bai Yujie seemed to hear that he was asking his name, so he tried to communicate in Chinese, but found that the other side still couldn't understand what he said.
He simply stretched out his finger and pointed to his mouth, and then waved his hand, and his body language believed that no matter which world and which language was universal, sure enough, as soon as he made such a gesture, the people around him showed an expression of sudden understanding, and then began to talk again.
The child in front of him said something to him, seeing that he still left without any reaction, and after a while, the people around him also dispersed, Bai Yujie sat up, looked around, and found that he seemed to be deep in a cave.
At the same time, he was surprised to find that the injuries on his body had healed, and the holes in his left hand and chest that had been pierced before were gone, and his skin seemed to be intact.
It was too dark for him to see anything clearly, so he walked towards the light, and did not stop until he came to a shimmering wall of light, for he could not walk.
The wall of light in front of me is rippling, but it is like a real wall, and it can't be penetrated.
"Can't get out?"
Bai Yujie only had time to look around, and only through the dim light did he see that there were many people sitting around in this space, and when he looked at it, he was surprised and found that they were all a bunch of young children.
He was younger than the child who was talking to him just now, and he was unkempt and dirty, and he was looking at him with blank eyes at the moment.
Looking at these pair of immature little eyes, and looking at the wall of light in front of him blocking his way out, Bai Yujie suddenly realized something, and quickly ran towards the place where he woke up behind him.
Sure enough, there is also a dead end in the back.
As soon as my mind turned, I realized that this was a "prison", and I was a prisoner here!
For a young man in the 21st century in his previous life, "prison" is very unfamiliar to him, he used to only see it in film and television works, but he didn't expect to be in such a place now.
Just now, I was glad that I was alive again, and at this moment, this joy was gone, and it became a completely unacceptable fact.
Freedom is restricted, which is completely unacceptable for Bai Yujie, who grew up in the 21st century, in that world, as long as you don't make mistakes, no one will restrict your personal freedom, and you can do whatever you want in a small world.
It's just that the people in that world are trapped in a cage called "reality", there is no great freedom, you can only go against the grain and do whatever you want, the law has nothing to do with you, today the public says this is like this, the public tomorrow says that it is like that and it becomes like that again, the system changes three times a year, and as a common person, he can only endure it silently.
In the previous world, people were only in a big cage all their lives, seemingly free and easy, but in fact bound by a rule that could not be seen or touched.
Some people may not be aware of it, and some people have already noticed it but are also disheartened, and the most important thing is that even if you encounter injustice, what can you do? It is a world that you can't resist, either you can adapt to the rules of the world, or you can find a place to die quickly, and stay where it is cool.
Bai Yujie inadvertently crossed into this world, he was very dissatisfied at first, and he is still dissatisfied now, but the only thing he thinks is good about this world is that this world can be resisted.
Although he will be imprisoned like this because of his low strength, it is only because he is not good at learning, and it is useless to beat what others say, although his body is restricted, but he can't feel the big cage, and there is no such invisible and untouchable rule in this world.
It is precisely because of this that in the previous life, so many people were fascinated by the world depicted in the online novel, perhaps it was a kind of free-will yearning, imagining that they could be as unrestrained as the protagonist in the novel, do whatever they wanted, and be happy with grievances.
Thinking so, it's another thing to really get trapped, Bai Yujie doesn't care what is written in the novel, those protagonists don't say that they are imprisoned, they can be cultivated for decades in a deep mountain and old forest.
Anyway, he Bai Yujie can't stand it, he grew up in an environment with many entertainment projects, and he will be imprisoned before he has time to see the mountains and rivers, how can he stand it?
Then he picked up his hands and smashed wildly against the wall of light, smashing his fist on the wall, the wall of light did not change except for a trace of ripples, and there was no expected shock force on his hands.
It was like a punch in the air, without the slightest feeling, Bai Yujie didn't believe in evil, and smashed the light wall several times with all his strength, and finally smashed himself out of breath and had no effect.
I was tired of smashing, so I just did it with my ass, and I thought it was right, after all, this is a prison, how could he get out so easily.
After looking up at the children around him for a while, he noticed that the children were looking at him with a look like a fool. Bai Yujie is not angry.
Immediately stood up again and worked frantically against the light wall, but unfortunately the result was still in vain.
Bai Yujie, who sat down again, also calmed down at the moment, just now he just couldn't accept it for a while, that feeling was as if he was innocent but was arrested in prison, how can people accept it?
Bai Yujie, who calmed down, glanced around and found that there were about twenty children in this small cave, but fortunately, the area in the cave was not small, and there was still more than enough to accommodate these people.
Looking at the calm looks in the eyes of those children, he was also in a trance for a while, it seems that in this world, it is not surprising to become a prisoner.
Even such a young child can accept it calmly, and that feeling is extremely strange for Bai Yujie, who came from his previous life, as if it is a very common thing for people to be arrested and put in prison.
"I am different from you, you may have accepted everything in front of you, but I am different, I am dignified, my self-esteem, my will to survive all drive me to work for freedom!"
Thinking of this, Bai Yujie stood up again, but this time he didn't smash the wall indiscriminately, after all, after a few attempts just now, he also understood that this could not be solved by force.
Obviously, the wall of light in front of you cannot be explained by the physics or science of the previous life, this should be a kind of exercise, like the "prohibition" described in the novels of the previous life, which is often written in the novel, locking people in one place and placing a ban on them, so that they cannot resist or escape.
The wall of light in front of me should be a kind of prohibition.
Since brute force can't get out, then Bai Yujie began to think of other ways again, maybe he can get out by digging three feet into the ground? If the size of the prohibition is fixed, then this method may work, but what is the key to digging with his bare hands?
In this way, more than 20 children in the darkness gathered behind Bai Yujie at the entrance of the cave, staring at him like a strange animal, watching him tinker there alone.
Just when Bai Yujie was at a loss, the wall of light suddenly faded, and three people walked in head-on.
