Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 109 Fighting for the power to change the world

   "If you can really do what you say, you might be able to stay here forever." Keating showed a satisfied smile, lifted his legs onto the bed and lay down on his own, "It's lunch break time, let's rest."

   The prisoners were all taken to work, and now it was rare and clean. Keating planned to use this time to take a good rest.

  Verak was still standing at the door, clutching the railing.

   "If you don't rest now, you won't be able to sleep when they come back." Keating closed his eyes and reminded Veraker, "Although they should fall asleep after a day of work, there are always a group of lunatics who can always be active."

   "Mr. Keating, don't we have time to relax?" Verak let go of the hand holding the railing, and looked at Keating, who was resting with his eyes closed.

  The prison guard clearly said that there is a fixed time for release every day, but Verak did not see the column for release in the work and rest schedule of this cell. There is only time for washing and eating every day above, and there is no chance to leave the basement floor to get some fresh air.

   "No." Keating said, "I haven't left here for two years."

"Why? I remember that the prison guards said that there are people who let out the wind." Verac lives with Keating, so it is impossible to have time for the wind to take care of Keating, and if there is no chance for the wind, he will not be able to check the terrain. , Lay a solid intelligence foundation for your escape plan.

   Keating snorted softly, very disdainful: "It's just a small trick like blurring the purpose of time."

  This is not exactly the same as the fuzzy time. Not letting go is obviously aimed at Keating personally.

  Verak had a guess, but before he said his guess, he asked a question first: "I'm staying with you in cell 208, can't I go to release it?"

   "Who will take care of me after you leave?"

   Guessing seems to be somewhat certain, Verak said: "Is it because the others are too panicked that they can't stay here?"

  The prisoners in this cell can only use reasons such as bathing and going to the toilet to move around the lifeless basement floor for a short time, and they can't even get out of the small cell for more time.

   There is no chance of stepping on the first floor and being exposed to the sun. There is no opportunity to communicate with other people and share knowledge with each other to pass the time.

  Desperate just thinking about it.

  Even Verak felt that this place was not good enough. Staying here could provide a moment of comfort, but it would also cut off his hope of escaping from prison.

   "Probably because of this." Keating admitted, but saying this also means that the matter is not just that.

   "What else?" Verak smiled bitterly and helplessly.

"You will know soon, that will be your first test." Keating was very calm, and did not reveal the most important thing at all, letting Verak rack his brains and think wildly, "rest , I can see that you are also very tired."

  Verak let out a long sigh of relief, calmed down, and returned to the upper berth.

  During this period of time, he was exhausted by boats and cars, and he was indeed very tired. On the way of escorting, his eyes darkened several times, and he almost fell over. But since he took a cold shower, he became sober again, and with all the troubles coming, he didn't give him a chance to breathe, so he didn't have the heart to rest now.

   Having no idea about the prison break or Keating's secret, Veraker's mind jumped to another matter.

   I don’t know what will happen to the equality in Laizein.

  He was very worried about everyone in the Equality Society.

  Although Boyin was sent out safely by defrauding Locke Shriver's trust, this did not accumulate any advantages for the Equality Society. Brecy's Ministry of Security and the intelligence organization "Reef" are still so difficult to deal with, and the situation of the Equality Society is still grim.

  On September 25th, the World Expo officially opened.

   There are still thirteen days left.

   On September 23, delegations from various countries arrived one after another.

   There are still eleven days left.

   "Hold on."

  Verak said in his heart to Boyin and comrades from the Equality Society in the distance.

  This action is of great significance to the Equality Association. On the one hand, it has been emphasized countless times that it can use the World Expo and delegations from other countries to spread the ideology of the Equality Association and spread the seeds of awakening to the world. On the other hand, this is the first time that the Equality Society has fought back forcefully against the government.

  It means that equality will stop the naive delusion that governments can change.

  Under the leadership of a group of forward-thinking and ambitious young people, the Equality Association is about to embark on a new path.

  Since it is impossible for the government to adopt their opinions, then take the power to change the world from them!

   This road is more difficult, so difficult that every step forward will step on bright red footprints. But this is the path that must be taken, the most hopeless, and the only hopeful path.

Thinking about the next direction of the Equality Society, Veraker felt a lingering feeling of fear. He was very glad that he, as a leader who knew nothing, not only did not hinder the Equality Society, but also pushed them to the the right path.

  He still doesn't know what the future holds, but what he has done in the new two months, he thinks it is very valuable-even though his end is not satisfactory in the end.

   "Heh..." Verak chuckled faintly, and in the darkness, those eyes became brighter.

  Thinking of the Equality Council, which was also struggling, the heaviness in his heart was swept away, and he inexplicably had the strength to persevere.

  No one has ever successfully changed the world to achieve complete peace, beauty, unity, and equality.

   But he believed that equality would succeed.

  Similarly, no prisoner ever made it out of Daymans Prison alive.

   But he believed he would be the first to get out alive.

   The drowsiness came back, and Verak didn't think about it anymore. He wanted to take a good rest and regain his physical and mental strength.

   Stretched his body a little, Verak closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

  —

   "Chris."

   "Chris."

  Verak has always been a light sleeper. This is a habit developed in Laizein. As long as he hears the slightest movement, he can immediately wake up and check the situation.

  However, he was so tired the past few days, and he suffered tremendous physical and mental damage, so that Keating called him several times before breaking him out of sleep.

   "Mm...Mr. Keating..." Verak blinked quickly, got up subconsciously, and slammed his head on the ceiling directly, "Hiss..."

   "It's almost time for dinner, come down." Keating said.

   "...Okay..." Verak held his dizzy head and waited for nearly half a minute before climbing down from the upper bunk.

  Keating heard the noise just now, saw that Veraker was still rubbing his forehead, and asked with concern: "Are you all right?"

   "It's okay... I'm still not used to it, the space is too small..." Verak came to the door and looked outside. There was no movement outside, and the other prisoners should still be working. "Are we going to the cafeteria to eat?"

   "The prison guard will send it to the door of the cell, and you are responsible for bringing the meal to me."
