Mysterious country

"What did you hear?"

Xia Qi signaled Wang Chang not to beat him, and asked him to sit down and talk.

"While I was working in the afternoon, I heard two new prisoners chatting there. One of them said that at midnight last night, he heard someone walking back and forth in the corridor outside the cell.

The newcomers don't know, but the old people know very well that the prison guards here don't come back to patrol after midnight unless they gather in the morning.

So this is a bit strange, if it's not a prison guard, then who is it? "

"Tomorrow you will bring me two new prisoners, and I will question them carefully."

Seeing Xia Qi's face suddenly turn gloomy, Wang Chang felt his scalp numb and asked with an ugly smile:

"Is this prison haunted?"

"Oh? Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"If you want to say I'm afraid, I'm not afraid. But if I'm not afraid, I'm definitely a little afraid. However, the possibility of being haunted here shouldn't be too high. After all, the people locked up here are not good people. Don't they say ghosts are afraid of evil people? .”

Xia Xia Qi didn't say anything else. At this time, he yawned and lay down on the bed. Then he ordered Wang Chang:

"Ask them to keep their voices down, clean up and rest. Don't sleep too hard at night, and listen to what's going on outside."

Putting the strange-smelling quilt over his head, Xia Qi thought about what Wang Chang had just told him. If the noise outside the cell last night really came from that evil ghost, wouldn't it mean that, Compared to the medicine garden where Silly Dabiao and others were, the prison was the most dangerous place.

He was somewhat worried in his heart, but when he thought that there wasn't much noise in the prison last night, he quickly felt relieved, but he just didn't know if he would be so lucky tonight.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the noise that previously filled the prison gradually dissipated, replaced by the snoring of the prisoners one after another.

Chang Sheng still knelt in front of the toilet. This was the rule of their cell. Newcomers had to kneel in front of the toilet for three days before they were allowed to go to bed.

To put it bluntly, this kind of rule is bullying. The purpose is to let the newcomers understand what this place is and give them authority.

Chang Sheng didn't sleep much yesterday. Not only did he do a lot of work today, but he also didn't even eat well the two meals he had in the morning and evening. Together, he only ate one hard bun, and the rest were eaten by the same prisoner. The people in the room were divided.

He was in trouble and didn't dare to resist. Fortunately, the two newcomers he met while working in the factory today were not much better off than him. They were bullied to death by the old prisoners. , which actually made him feel a little more balanced.

Even so, Xia Qi, who is also a newcomer, is treated completely differently from them. Not only is he not bullied, but he is bullying others here, calling himself brothers and sisters with those prison chiefs who can make all the difference. He really lives up to that sentence. The talker is more infuriating than the person.

Before he came to Black Iron Prison, he was in an ordinary prison, where he was the boss in the cell. Because he was a death row prisoner, he didn't want to get out at all, so the prisoners in the same cell were afraid of him, because compared to When he comes, the remaining prisoners are either petty thieves or deceived and tricked into the prison, and then leave after a few years.

If he finds someone, smooths the relationship, and behaves better during this period, he may be able to see the light of day again in a year and a half, so he won't have a head-on confrontation with him, a death row prisoner.

It can be said that in ordinary prisons, the competition is about who has killed someone, but in this black iron prison, the competition is about whose killing method is more insane.

What he had seen and heard throughout the day had given him a deeper impression of this place. Yesterday, he had thought of resisting, and in the worst case, they would both die, but today he figured out that it was better to live and die.

After I stay here for a long time and get to know more people, I think my life will not be too miserable in the future.

After kneeling on the cold ground for almost 2 hours, Chang Sheng finally couldn't hold on anymore. He stood up slowly while holding on to the wall. After his legs were numb for a while, he carefully walked past the prisoners. Their beds were in front of the iron railing that separated them from the corridor.

Because the light was very dim, he could only see a section of the corridor and the edge of the cell opposite.

He grabbed the iron railing with both hands and looked at the corridor stretched by light and shadow, and suddenly felt a strong palpitating feeling in his heart.

Then, he suddenly heard the sound of someone getting out of bed in the cell next door. Although it was very soft, he heard it very clearly because he was right next to the iron bars.

Then, the man lost his voice after getting out of bed.

He neither went to the toilet nor returned to the bed. He seemed to stand there motionless since he got off the bed.

The fear in Chang Sheng's heart became more and more intense. It was an indescribable feeling. In short, his body instinctively did not want to stand in front of the iron bars for too long and wanted to hide in the toilet.

He quickly returned to the toilet. Because the weak light outside the corridor could not penetrate into the depths of the cell, Chang Sheng was completely hidden in the darkness.

Next door, the continuous snoring suddenly disappeared completely, but in his cell, the snoring of several people became louder.

About five or six minutes had passed. Just when Chang Sheng was about to kneel down again, he suddenly heard a series of subtle footsteps coming from outside the cell.

The footsteps appeared very briefly and suddenly, and then disappeared again.

Chang Sheng looked towards the outside of the iron fence. At this time, he suddenly saw something vaguely like a human face. The face was pressed against the iron fence, as if he was observing those who were in the situation. The prisoner in his sleep looked more like... staring at him again!

But just like the sound of footsteps, in just an instant, the thing attached to the iron railing disappeared, which even made Chang Sheng think he was dazzled.

In fact, just now, he didn't see clearly what was stuck to the iron railing at that moment.

Maybe it was an illusion he saw in his panic.

But just when he thought this was the case, he suddenly saw a prisoner sleeping on the bed near the iron bars who was snoring loudly. He suddenly sat up and in the next moment, the whole person disappeared without a trace. .

Chang Sheng opened his mouth and his face was filled with disbelief. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, fearing that he was dazzled. But when he rubbed his eyes and looked towards the cell again, those who were originally sleeping One by one of the prisoners on the bed, they all disappeared!

After standing there for a while with a look of confusion and horror on his face, he quickly came to the bed closest to him. As he saw, the bed was empty and the person who originally slept on it was nowhere to be seen.
