Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

On Thanksgiving Day, the results of Xu Minglang's forensic report came out.

The report recorded Xu Minglang's criminal process in detail, as well as the transcript of the entire psychological appraisal, and the joint signatures of four experts, unanimously judged that Xu Minglang's various mental indicators were normal.

The first trial has ended, and the suspect cannot be visited while the results come down.So after Zhou Xuerong met him that day, he never had the chance to go.

Zhou Xuerong had already planned to rush up during the trial, telling everyone loudly that he was the murderer and Xu Minglang was just his scapegoat.

But Xu Minglang had expected that he would do this a long time ago, and told the lawyer to take good care of him and keep him from appearing in court if necessary.Before parting, Zhou Xuerong slapped the glass, saying that he would never let Xu Minglang be executed.

Xu Minglang said that he was complicating the issue.

"I have told the lawyer that there is no need to defend me, and I can be sentenced to whatever sentence I want. If it is the death penalty, it would be better, and everything can be restarted. It is better than staying in prison for decades."

Hearing this, Zhou Xuerong seemed to have gained some hope, and fell into another kind of panic. He put his hands on the glass, trying to absorb some warmth through the cold glass.

"But... Brother! Will you recognize me next time?"

Xu Minglang had already stood up, but he turned his head and put his hands on the glass, and put his hands together in the air, showing a smile.

The inquiry time was up, and Xu Minglang walked out of the room under the leadership of the prison guards, walking all the way through the gray corridor, and the sunlight shone through the railings on his way forward.

He will never tell Zhou Xuerong that this round may be the end of eternity.

Olivia chose such a special way of playing in this round, which proved that this round has special meaning to her.She might have wanted to use this round to bring the game to an end, so when they gave up the opportunity to Ye Jiawen, she intentionally or unintentionally said the phrase "there is only one chance".

Who knows what's going on in that girl's head?

Xu Minglang really didn't know if he was thinking too much, or he wasn't thinking enough.

If everything can end after his execution, as he guessed, it wouldn't be bad.

It should have stopped long ago.

For him, death is not punishment.If his death could bring Zhou Xuerong real peace, then he would gladly accept it.And his willingness to do so was not an escape.It's not that they haven't fought, it's just that they have tried all the possibilities, and they can't change the doomed ending.

He really didn't want to imagine that when Zhou Xuerong started the game again, he saw that he didn't know him at all, and all the affection in the past was nullified, leaving only one person in pain.

Looking up at the narrow fence, the sun is so good today, it is a very suitable weather for drying quilts.

I'll never see you again.

The days passed by.

Even though Xu Minglang has been hypnotizing himself, the life in the fence is not that different from the outside, it's not a matter of living there.But the shabby and narrow prison cell, the hard-to-eat food, and the grass and sunshine that can only be seen when going out to practice, every place reminds him that he is in a cage.

Every once in a while, he would receive a few books, clothes, loafers without laces, and letters.At first he was determined not to read the letter, he could probably guess what was written in it, reading it would only soften his heart and make him miss the days outside even more.

But even so, he still put those letters under his pillow. Occasionally, when he couldn't help but want to read them, he would take them out to read the words on the envelope, and imagine Zhou Xuerong writing these letters.

The originally endless waiting came to an abrupt end two months later with the "death sentence handed down".

When Xu Minglang received this news, he couldn't tell what mood he was in. The only feeling he felt was that the air was still, and something broke in his heart with a "snap".

That day, he looked at the blue sky divided by the railing for a long, long time.

The case will soon enter the second instance.Generally speaking, if there is no appeal in the second instance, there is a high probability that the original judgment will be upheld.He ushered in the opening of the second trial without any fluctuations in his heart, and went through the process that had already been staged.

When he entered the court, he glanced at the seats and saw Professor Kang sitting in the middle seat with a serious face. He nodded slightly as a signal, but he didn't see Zhou Xuerong.While letting go of my heart, I also seemed to be a little lost. The indescribable sourness in the bottom of my heart spread slowly and invisible like sugar dissolved in water.

Isn't this what he wants to see, he told himself?Slowly learn to let go of him, forget about him, and live your own life...

A hammer fell.

Because Xu Minglang only killed vulnerable groups in the society and abandoned the corpses, which caused panic and bad influence on the society, the Supreme People's Court issued an order to execute the death penalty, which will be executed seven days later.

Courtroom.

The next day, the guards said they would provide Xu Minglang with better food in the coming days, and asked him if he had any wishes or people he wanted to see, and they would try their best to satisfy them.

Xu Minglang said that he just wanted to be quiet.

Back in the cell, Xu Minglang lay there for a whole day, and he took out the letter under the pillow.Only this time, he took them apart.

Before he died, he still wanted to see what Zhou Xuerong had said to him.

There were 7 letters in total, and he read them in the order in which they were sent.

There is no reluctance or regret in the letter as imagined. Most of them wrote about their past and childhood. Some embarrassing things even made him laugh out loud. pulled away.Besides, there is not even an exhortation in the letter, and it reads without pain or worry.

He put the seven letters on the bed and traced them back and forth, trying to imprint all the contents in his mind.In this way, he read repeatedly until the sky was getting dark, so he lit the lamp, and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the letter.

He lined up the letter in order, read it for a while, and found that the words at the end were connected together to read a sentence: I will take you out.

When Xu Minglang woke up the next day, he felt uneasy.His mind was full of the sentence from the Tibetan poem.

Zhou Xuerong wants to take him out?

This is simply fantasy.

What he was most worried about was that if Zhou Xuerong really robbed the execution ground, the whole thing would only be exposed.At that time, neither of them can escape.

Xu Minglang could only pray that Zhou Xuerong would not do stupid things.

In the afternoon, the prison guard informed Xu Minglang that someone was visiting outside, but Xu Minglang refused.

The prison guard said, "Okay." Before leaving, he said lightly, "It's not that tall guy."

Xu Minglang sat up startled, asked the prison guard to wait, and said that he had changed his mind.

In the process of walking out, Xu Minglang kept thinking, who could visit him at this time except Zhou Xuerong.

When he came to the window, he was slightly taken aback.

"It's you?"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes outside the window, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, picked up the phone.

Xu Minglang picked up the phone: "What are you doing here?"

"I went to see Ye Jiawen. I believe what you said. This world may be a game." Professor Kang's eyes were tired, and he seemed not rested well. "You don't have much time left."

"You came to me to talk about this?" Xu Minglang asked.

Professor Kang shook his head: "Actually, you didn't kill people."

Xu Minglang didn't speak, and Professor Kang said: "I've thought a lot during this time, and this incident has had a huge impact on me, almost ruining my spiritual world. I mean...if this world is fake Yeah, so what am I? Then all my past efforts, struggles, laughter and tears, are they fake?"

"Your story got me into such a predicament, but now you are dying, and there is one less person in this world who knows the truth."

Professor Kang looked directly into Xu Minglang's eyes, swallowed the rest of his unspoken words, and changed the subject.

"Has Zhou Xuerong been here?"

Xu Minglang shook his head.

"Didn't he think about telling the truth to save you?"

Xu Minglang still shook his head: "I will stop him."

"Since none of you have figured out a way to crack the game, Zhou Xuerong can at least save your life by telling the truth."

Xu Minglang looked back coldly: "You don't understand anything, this is the only thing I can do for him. In this game after my death, he can at least live in a bustling world. If If luck is good enough, Olivia has lost interest in him, maybe this round will be the end of eternity."

Professor Kang was silent for a while, and said, "You young people's love is really incomprehensible." He glanced at the time and hurried to the topic.

"If there are no accidents, you should be executed by injection this time, and it won't be too painful. I have already submitted an application with the above to try to send you the last time."

"Ah."

"Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Xu Minglang pondered for a moment: "Don't tell me, there is something I really need to bother you."

Professor Kang made a "please" gesture.

"When all the dust settles, I hope you can go back to Beijing for me to visit Yingying's grave."

"no problem."

The prison guard opened the door and said it was time.

Xu Minglang was about to hang up the phone, but Professor Kang rushed to say the last sentence.

"Have you really figured it out?"

"Never changed." Xu Minglang hung up the phone, got up and left.
