Mysterious country

"How is this going?"

Chang Sheng suspected that he was dreaming, but after giving himself two hard slaps and feeling the burning pain on his cheeks, he believed that this was not a dream, but a living reality.

Just when he was panicking and didn't know what to do, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. Just when he was about to raise his hand to touch it, his vision suddenly turned into darkness, and then, the deathly silent cell There was a sound of an object falling to the ground.

Leng Yue lay on the bed, staring at the darkness above with her eyes open, holding her breath and listening to the sounds from the corridor outside.

Although the snoring still existed, he was sensitive to the fact that the snoring suddenly disappeared in several cells, probably around five in number.

Although he was very sure in his heart that all this was definitely related to the evil ghost, he could not react in any way, because even if he got out of the cell now, he would not have a chance of winning because his mana was frozen.

In the past, Leng Yue never wanted anything to happen to the innocent victims in the incident, and was anxious to get rid of the ghosts as soon as possible and give them a peaceful life.

But this time, he didn't feel much in his heart. After all, death is not entirely a bad thing for the people in this prison. It is much better than being tortured to death here.

While working during the day, he heard a few prisoners chatting not long after they came in, and the topic of prisoner mortality came up. There are usually several reasons for the death of prisoners, including fighting between prisoners, illness, punishment by prison guards, and suicide.

Among them, suicide accounts for 60% of all prisoner deaths, followed by those beaten to death by prison guards, and then by fights between prisoners and illness.

On average, one person dies in prison every day.

And the vast majority of them are newcomers who have just entered the prison. However, those who have stayed here for more than a year will rarely commit suicide unless they are seriously ill or have angered the prison guards.

Because those who can stay here for a year will undoubtedly be able to adapt to the living environment here.

Leng Yue didn't understand why these prisoners who had lost their freedom, direction, and even principles were still so eager to live. He couldn't figure out why, but in his mind, Xia Qi must know the reason.

Compared to Leng Yue's sleeplessness, Xia Qi slept soundly, but being able to sleep did not mean that he slept well. The whole night, he had some garbled dreams.

Either he dreamed that his grandfather was holding him and crying, or he dreamed that his father was smoking with his head down and frowning, and there were many strange people arguing in his house.

Although the dream was very messy, it felt very real. However, when Xia Qi woke up from this dream, she could not remember what those people in the dream had said at all.

Except for remembering his grandfather and his parents, he even completely forgot about the appearance of other people in the dream.

The whistle of the gathering woke up everyone in the prison. Xia Tian Qi rubbed his temples with a headache, and then got out of bed in a daze.

After going to the toilet and washing his face with cold water, Xia Qi regained some energy.

Before the prison guard came to open the door, Xia Qi sat on the bed and looked at the honor list. The time on it was still being consumed second by second. However, compared to yesterday, there is more information on the dial today.

The location of the reward and the amount of the reward appear above.

Not a rating, but an honor point. There are 20 honor points in total. Judging from the location marked above, it should be in the area where prison guards rest.

Although the reward has already appeared, he is not in a hurry to get there. After all, the reward is there and cannot be escaped. He can wait until he recovers his ability or gets a chance to get it.

But just when he was planning this in his heart, the numbers below the reward were beating and changing. Obviously, the existence of this reward also has a time limit.

A total of 15 hours.

"Fuck, even the rewards have a time limit!"

Although 15 hours is not short, even if it is extended to 20 hours, he and Leng Yue will not be able to recover their abilities.

Xia Tian Qi suddenly became irritable. At this time, the prison guards also began to open the cells one by one, letting the people locked in them out to have breakfast, and then continue working.

"What's wrong, boss? Didn't you sleep yesterday? You look very bad."

Seeing Xia Qi's dark face and looking unhappy, Wang Chang couldn't help but asked cautiously.

"It's nothing. I had a lot of nightmares yesterday. By the way, do you know how many guards there are in this prison?"

"More than 50, maybe more, but probably less than 100, because I have seen most of the prison guards."

Wang Chang answered matter-of-factly. He wanted to ask Xia Qi why he suddenly asked him this, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to ask, for fear of being lectured by Xia Qi for asking too many questions.

Just when Xia Qi was about to walk out of the cell, he suddenly heard a prison guard yelling. Then, the soldiers holding weapons suddenly became alert:

"Those who come out immediately go back to their respective cells!"

Xia Qi knew that something must have happened, because the prison guard had already opened the door before, so Xia Qi easily pushed it open and stuck his head out to look at one end. In the process, he saw Zhang who was also looking for him. When he saw him looking over, he opened his head and slowly opened his mouth, as if to tell him:

"problem occurs."

Xia Qi nodded understandingly, then took his head back, and said to some prisoners in the cell who wanted to watch the fun:

"There's nothing to see. Just go back and sit down. Don't wait until the prison guards find trouble."

I thought the prison guards would resolve the matter quickly and let them go out to eat and work, but it turned out that the wait lasted a full two hours. It wasn't until after 5 o'clock that the prison guards who had left before came back and let them out with ugly faces.

This time, there were no longer two or three prison guards, but eight or nine, and the number of soldiers was no longer two, but five.

This battle was the first time for several prison chiefs, and the prisoners were not stupid. They all guessed that something big had happened in the prison, so the prison guards began to prepare for it.

After entering the cafeteria, Zhang Tou, Da Biao and the other six prisoners found Xia Qi together. Apparently, Zhang Tou and the other two had achieved good results in persuading the other prisoners.

"What's going on? Have you found out?"

As soon as Zhang and the others sat down, Xia Qi asked immediately.

“There were 6 cells in total, and in one night, only 6 heads were left.

Each cell holds about 10 people, and 6 means 60 people. If 60 people disappeared in one night, can those prison guards not go crazy? "

"Is there any movement from the prison guards?"

When Xia Qi heard this number, he felt very heavy in his heart. On this night, 60 people were missing. If it were tonight, there would be even more. This is not a good sign.

"The prison guards are still investigating the matter and have kept all the people in the cells close to the cell where the incident occurred."

"Those people should have disappeared after 12 o'clock in the evening, within a few minutes."

After listening to Zhang Tou's terrifying words, Leng Yue added:

"I didn't hear any strange noises, no screams or anything."
