Nomenclature of Night

After the chaos, the prisoners slowly got up, dozens of mechanical guards entered the square amid the sound of neat hydraulic transmissions, instructing the prisoners to clean up everything that was knocked over here.

In the dining room, Guo Huchan was sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away, as if an old monk had settled down.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the black rubber bullets all over the floor and said with emotion: "The gods are suffering from fights with mortals, but those who fight are not shit. Those prisoners who did not fight are really unlucky. Hey, Guo Huchan, there are not all rumors that you are compassionate. Do you often do good deeds, then how do you count these people who are troubled by you?"

Without lifting his eyes, Guo Huchan said, "You told me that you hurt the innocent in prison? There are one here, and none of them are innocent."

"Hypocrisy," Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her mouth.

"Also, let me emphasize it." Guo Huchan opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiao and smiled: "I am not a monk. Don't use words like compassion to describe me."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again and carefully adjusted his breath.

He didn't seem to be injured in the fight with Li Shutong just now, but now his internal organs are really a little uncomfortable, as if he was burned by a fire.

When everyone saw him meditating quietly, they stopped paying attention. Lin Xiaoxiao gave Ye Wan a wink. Suddenly, an invisible force field around them suddenly opened up.

Qing Chen had seen this ability just now. When the black rain began to fall on the steel firmament, all the raindrops falling towards Yewan were bounced off by this force field.

Lin Xiaoxiao saw that Qing Chen was a little bit confused, so he explained with a smile: "Speak with confidence, the voice can't be heard."

Li Shutong sat at the dining table and took the big cat into his arms, and then said to Qing Chen: "In the morning, I saw Lu Guangyi interrogating those people during the newcomer ceremony. Did you account for it?"

"It's me," Qing Chen knew that the other party already knew about his relationship with Qing, and also knew that Lu Guangyi was taking orders from him, so he didn't hide it.

"Why interrogate them?" Li Shutong asked.

"I want to see what other forces are vying with me for taboos," Qing Chen lied. He needs to find a reasonable reason to explain his behavior.

Li Shutong nodded: "I like your frankness, but I think Lu Guangyi didn't abuse those newcomers this time. Is that what you meant?"

"Yes," Qing Chen said.

"But I remember when you first came in, you didn't help other newcomers," Li Shutong said.

"As much as possible," Qing Chen said.

Li Shutong smiled and did not comment on this.

If it is difficult to protect himself, then Qing Chen will quietly watch other people die without helping. This is his principle.

His life has never been smooth sailing, so he learned to be selfish early on.

This is the attitude given to him by life, not his own choice.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Guo Huchan who was not far away...

Qing Chen turned his head and saw Guo Huchan still sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, but his long arms were already hanging down beside him.

I saw the other party propped up the whole body with the index and middle fingers of both hands, slightly off the ground.

Then the four fingers approached Ye Wan’s force field little by little like walking...

This guy obviously found that he couldn't hear the conversation while sitting there, so he wanted to sneak closer.

This made Qing Chen a little dumbfounded. A rough man with a height of two meters and a full body of totems, who fought fiercely in the first moment, but pretended to sit side-by-side to adjust his breath the next moment, but actually wanted to eavesdrop on other people's chats.

The contrast is too big.

As if feeling the eyes of everyone, Guo Huchan moved himself back to the original position with his four fingers without changing his face, as if nothing had happened.

This scene made Li Shutong amused: "Let's go away. It's a pity that I couldn't play chess today. I'm going to read a book."

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoxiao squatted in front of Guo Huchan and laughed: "If we lose, we will stay honestly. We really don't want to fight against the spades. We know that it's not easy for you to suffer in the wilderness, but you don't give it to us. Is it okay to add chaos?"

Guo Huchan raised his eyelids: "I didn't lose to you, why are you so proud?"

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Do you think I can't cure you?"

Guo Huchan said calmly, "Try moving one of my hair."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the bright top of each other's head: "...?"

The rumors are really just rumors, this Guo Huchan is completely different from what he heard!

Qing Chen ignored the two people's continued quarrel, but turned around to go to the window to have a meal, and then gobbled it up.

He clinked poorly in the watch world. He ate compressed biscuits for two days after traveling back home. There were rice, noodles and vegetables at home, but without meat, he couldn't afford it.

The food here is average, but the synthetic meat has a meaty taste.

Qing Chen felt a little bit emotional in his heart, the prison food in the world here was actually better than what he ate daily when he was in the world.

He inadvertently raised his head while immersed in the meal, and suddenly found that a quarter of the 210 cameras in the 18th prison silently turned to him.

It seems that just now he found a dead spot between the sparks and flints, which caught someone's attention.

But he doesn't know who is behind these surveillance.

Lin Xiaoxiao finished fighting with Guo Huchan, stood up and put Qingchen's dinner plate aside, then took another dinner plate to the window and patted it, and said to the robot inside: "The boss has explained it to him later. For real meat, give him as much as you want."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously: "You will know soon, this may not be a good thing."

…

At night, when Qing Chen returned to the cell to brush his teeth, he suddenly felt a burst of sleepiness, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

But this time, instead of falling to the ground and fainting like the last time, he gargles his mouth calmly and earnestly. After he lay down on the bed in a comfortable position, he slowly closed his eyes.

The nightmare begins.

In the dream, Qing Chen appeared in a desert with two people sitting on the opposite sand dune.

In this nightmare world, the sky is full of yellow sand and the sun is venomous.

Only a few seconds later, Qing Chen felt his lips were dry and cracked.

One of the people on the opposite side begged him: "Qing Chen, give us a sip of the water in your backpack. If you don't drink it, we will die."

Qing Chen went and opened the bag behind her back, and there was a bottle of water inside.

He didn't speak.

The person on the opposite side couldn't bear it anymore: "We don't drink you for nothing. You can make a price yourself."

At this time, Qing Chen suddenly heard a voice asking: "Facing your fellow travelers are about to die of thirst, what would you offer?"

Qing Chen looked at the opposite person coldly and said, "I will let the person next to you watch you die of thirst, and then let him make the price himself."

As soon as the voice fell, the person opposite turned into Lin Xiaoxiao's appearance, and the other person slowly disappeared like bubbles.

Lin Xiaoxiao said speechlessly: "Are you still a human?"

"I knew this was your nightmare. Naturally, no sympathy would arise," Qing Chen found a place to sit down comfortably.

"It's really weird," Lin Xiaoxiao said while sitting opposite: "You can still stay awake and remembered after entering the nightmare, then you should be able to resist the nightmare's call."

"Yeah, yes," Qing Chen replied succinctly.
