Zhou Lin

November 21, 15:10, Linyi, Sunshine Youth Behavior Correction Center.

After a twenty-minute "preliminary treatment", Zilin said goodbye to his "parents" with "crying" and then was carried by two strong men and thrown into a single room that was probably a solitary room. inside.

This room was empty, except for the squat toilet in the corner and a roll of paper on the ground. There was not even a light bulb, and there were no windows to the outside. The only light source in the room was a small window above the door, through which Through the iron bars of the window, you can see some lights in the corridor.

Zi Lin was imprisoned in this single room for several hours without anyone noticing; he had undoubtedly missed dinner, and it was hard to say whether he had missed supper.

In short, it was not until that night when the lights in the corridor outside the door were automatically adjusted to "night light mode" that a well-fed and slightly drunk "house warden" opened the door to this room.

It was a burly man, wearing a white uniform with the name of the center printed on it. He opened the electronic door with his fingerprint without knocking or saying hello, and walked in with a swagger.

His demeanor and behavior proclaimed...he brought neither courtesy nor respect.

However, he still brought something with him.

"Change into it." The warden said as he threw a set of camouflage uniforms to the ground.

His words were undoubtedly an order, not a discussion.

Zi Lin didn't say anything after hearing this, because he currently wanted to give others the impression that he was an ordinary young man who had been electrocuted during the day. Therefore, when he finished speaking, he honestly picked up the clothes on the ground. He started to change without saying a word.

As I said, the room was empty, so there was no privacy at all. Zi Lin had no choice but to strip off to only a pair of underpants in front of the warden, and then put on the clothes he gave him.

As for the housemaster, he stared at Zi Lin without hesitation, watching him finish changing his clothes; there was a bit of disgust and impatience in his eyes.

Obviously, the housemaster is not very interested in watching boys change clothes. If it is a girl, it will be a different matter... But that is not the point; the point is that even if he doesn't want to watch, he still has to watch. Watch, because there have been more than one incident here where "someone attacked the dormitory from behind when his back was turned." For his own safety, he did not dare to take it lightly in this "one-on-one" situation.

"Give me your clothes. Come out and stand." After Zilin changed into his camouflage uniform, the warden gave the next order.

When Zi Lin heard this, he remained silent. He just lowered his head slightly, handed the other party the clothes he had changed, and then stepped out and came to the corridor.

At this point, the warden's vigilance has been slightly lowered; although their wardens will not consider the more mysterious things like "he hides something in his body" or "he hides a bunch of information on his body through tattoos" Hypothesis, but "there are sharp objects such as blades hidden in the clothes"... they will still be wary of it. The reason is naturally because similar situations have happened before.

"Your clothes will be put together with your belongings and will be returned to you when you are discharged from the hospital." After Zi Lin stood still, the housemaster stood behind him and said in a routine tone. While saying this, he shook the clothes and pants in his hands a few times to confirm whether there was anything hidden inside.

To be honest, Zi Lin was the one who felt impatient about these trivial matters; such "details that could be controlled in advance" must have been arranged perfectly by Zi Lin before taking action.

The belongings that were taken away when he was "admitted to the hospital" in the afternoon, including the set of clothes that were taken away just now, were all prepared by him two weeks ago: low-quality clothes and wallets bought at cheap online stores, new models Smartphones, low-profile I-PEN, etc...

Not only did he buy these things in advance, he also deliberately made them look "used"; he also hacked into the e-commerce platform's database through hacking methods and modified the "date of purchase" and "receipt" of those goods. Consignee" and other information.

Even the applications on that phone were carefully selected and installed with a bunch of the most popular applications and games among teenagers nowadays, and detailed usage traces were forged in each application. Even if someone cracked the password, Checked and couldn't see anything unusual.

As for the "parents" he hired, after sending him to this center, they immediately boarded a flight from Long County to Southern Cross County. They were in another "bureau" in Zilin, There are uses.

Let's put it this way, even if the dormitory in front of him were replaced by a prison guard and the environment was replaced by a high-security federal prison, Zi Lin's lurking would not be exposed...at least not in the short term.

"Oh." A second later, Zi Lin responded softly to the warden's words, in case remaining silent would anger the other party or arouse doubts.

After finishing shaking off his clothes, the warden raised his hand and motioned for Zi Lin to come in front of him: "Go forward."

"Where are you going?" Zi Lin knew the other party's work process, but he had to pretend not to know.

"Just keep going. I'll ask you to stop when you get there." The warden said coldly.

This is also one of the rules here. When there is only one housemaster present and the movement of the "patient" is not restricted, the housemaster must walk behind the patient.

In this way, Zilin walked through the corridor, went up the stairs once, passed two electronic doors that had to be opened by the dormitory, and finally came to the door of a dormitory.

After arriving at the destination, the dormitory scanned his fingerprint on the touch screen, opened the door to the room, and motioned for Zi Lin to enter. When the latter walked into the room, the warden left a message: "This is your room. Get up at six o'clock every morning, wash up and get ready to assemble within half an hour." Then he closed the door and left.

There is a light in this dormitory, but because it is past the lights-out time, the light has been turned off, and there is no switch in the room.

Fortunately, there are windows to the outside in this room. Although the inside and outside of the window glass are separated by a layer of intertwined iron mesh, this does not prevent the moonlight from coming in.

Under the moonlight, vague outlines outline the scene in this room.

This is a double room, not bunk beds. The two beds are placed parallel to each other on both sides of the room. When Zi Lin came in, there was already someone on one of the beds. Judging from the posture of that person, he must have fallen asleep before Zi Lin entered the room. But when he came in just now, he woke him up.

"He's new..." The man muttered to Zi Lin in the dark, and before Zi Lin could reply, he sighed and continued, "Oh... go to sleep quickly, we'll talk to you tomorrow if you have anything to say. "

After that, he turned over, covered himself with the quilt, and continued to sleep.

Zi Lin, in the darkness, showed a hint of a smile, but he restrained it instantly.

Two seconds later, Zi Lin moved his neck from left to right, walked to the empty bed, and lay down on it.

Then, I started thinking...

He won't sleep.

Not tonight, not tomorrow night.

For as long as he could remember, he had never slept.

He didn't need sleep, and couldn't sleep.

For ordinary people, this may be a terrifying experience that can drive people crazy, but Zi Lin feels that it is very good - compared to spending one third or more of his life sleeping. He preferred to spend this time thinking.

While others are finishing their work and life for the day and letting their brains take a moderate rest, Zilin is sorting out memories, reviewing details, classifying various information, and making assumptions and assumptions about everything that will happen or may happen in the future.

This is like the meditation training done by athletes in confrontational sports, except that Zi Lin's meditation is not aimed at "a certain game", but a larger situation.

"There are a total of six people from the hospital that I have seen during the day, and the one who sent me here just now is also among them, plus the boy next to me... The seven people I have seen so far are all recorded in known information.

"However...this doesn't prove anything...

“‘Faceless’ can disguise himself as anyone. Not only his facial features, but also his height, body shape, voice, gender, and fingerprints can change. It is impossible to identify him after a short period of contact.

"But since the intelligence of 'that person' shows that he is here, he must be here; as long as he stays in the same place as me, I will be able to find him out. Now all I need is patience, acting skills, and... A little bit of luck.”

There are "two things" that Zi Lin needs to complete this time when he sneaks into this Internet ring center. Finding "Faceless" is just one of them. Another plan will also be carried out simultaneously, but in terms of variables and difficulty, this is the first one. One thing is more troublesome.

He just closed his eyes, pretending to sleep and thinking, and an hour passed before he knew it.

An hour later, to be precise, at exactly midnight...suddenly! Zi Lin opened his eyes a crack.

At this moment, he knew very clearly that there was a figure standing beside his bed, and... staring at him.

"No way..." Since Zi Lin was lying on his side facing the wall, even if he opened his eyes at this moment, he didn't have to worry about what he would see from the other person's perspective, "Even if I don't use my eyes to see, there is nothing that could move me within a radius of ten meters." I can still know it right away...but this...can come to me quietly?"

While he was thinking, the figure had already taken action.

But he saw that the shadow slowly bent down, leaned down, and pressed his face closely to Zi Lin's head.

At this moment, black clouds covered the moon outside the window, and the room suddenly became dark to the point where you could hardly see your fingers.

In the darkness, there was a voice, a woman's voice. It was so small that only Zi Lin could hear it, and said in his ear: "He is my prey, and I found it first. If you know better, The rules are, leave tomorrow, otherwise...I will come back to you at another time and in another way..."

When the last word "you" reached Zi Lin's ears, the figure also disappeared.

Then, the moonlight came through the window again.

Zi Lin turned over and looked back... The boy on the opposite bunk was still sleeping soundly. Apart from him and himself, there was no one else in the room.

In the night sky outside the window, there are a few cold stars and a slanting moon. Looking around, are there any black clouds that can cover the moon?

Everything that happened just now seemed like just a short nightmare.

However, Zilin never dreams.

"Well..." Two seconds later, Zilin groaned, and then he lifted his nose and took a deep breath, and successfully... caught a faint scent of hair in the air, "Huh..." At this moment, He couldn't help but chuckle, "This is interesting... I thought I was here to have hot pot, but I didn't expect that as soon as I sat down, a 'dessert' was automatically delivered to my door..." He licked his lips and read, " 'That guy' must have known about this, but he deliberately didn't tell me...um...you said 'two things', isn't there at least 'four' now?"
