ex-husband high energy

silence.

Levi sat quietly on the interrogation chair, bringing Yin's indifference to the extreme.

Hawke waited for a while, and said with a little regret: "Well, assuming that the chip is really the "Armor Warrior" you said, then you have to at least tell me how to decode it."

Levi moved his fingers that were about to go numb, and asked mockingly, "Why, are you interested in Chinese animation?"

Hawke shook his head and said: "No, no, I just kindly remind you, AS18, in Gabrin Prison, no one can have secrets in front of me, because I am your God, before God you must Be [-] percent religious, or... trust me, you're going to hell."

His tone was flat, almost gentle, but Levi's heart tightened when he heard it. Hawke seemed to carry some kind of invisible savage arrogance, which made people shudder.

"I'm not a Christian." Reeves calmed down and said lightly, "I believe in communism. In my world, there is no god, and there is no God. There are only molecules made of atoms, flesh and blood made of molecules, and people made of flesh and blood. You Have you ever heard of Darwin? He said that all people are the same, walking from the sea to the land, walking into the woods, climbing down from the trees, from apes to humans. You are, and so am I."

"Ha!" Hawke couldn't help laughing, and immediately clapped his palms twice, saying, "Interesting, sure enough that fat man is right, you are very good at telling cold jokes about communism."

Levi's bowed as much as possible and said, "I'm so proud."

Hawk smiled and shook his head, the smile slowly disappeared from the corners of his mouth, his gray-blue eyes looked at Levi playfully, and said: "For the sake of a bad joke, I am willing to give you another chance, AS18, if you Tell me how to decode the chip from China, and I promise you can live a peaceful and safe life in Gabrin for the rest of your life."

"This is not what I want." Levi's hesitated for a moment, restrained his joking look, and said seriously, "If you are really interested in the Chinese intelligence in my hand, I can consider making a deal with you-I request to disclose Trial, and transfer to a prison with a lower security level. During this period, the US government must absolutely guarantee my personal safety."

Hawke shook his finger and said: "It seems that you don't have a rational understanding of your situation, AS18, from the moment you enter Gabriel, it is impossible to enjoy the luxury of a public trial. What you can exchange here—or to be precise, what you can pray for—is that life will be better for the rest of your life, roommates will be gentler, meals will be fresher, that’s all. As for personal safety, you don’t have to worry about it, I believe it doesn’t matter. Neither the North Koreans nor the Chinese could sneak into this underwater prison and murder you."

His attitude is cold and tough, like bottomless stagnant water, ready to drown the lives of rebels at all times.Levi's heart beat faster, but his face still remained proud and calm. He looked him up and down with mocking eyes, and said, "It's not that I don't believe your guarantee, Mr. Hawke, it's just...how old are you? Forty? Forty-five? You Are you sure you can live the rest of my life? Even if you live long enough, don’t you think about being promoted? If you plan to be the warden in Gabrin for the rest of your life, what’s the difference between you and me, a prisoner?”

Hawke's pale face showed a tinge of anger, but it quickly disappeared. He exhaled heavily from his nostrils, and said, "You will know the difference, AS18, and you will soon know that even if you are a prisoner, you will be in prison. There are many, many different ways.”

After all, he stopped continuing this boring interrogation and rang the bell on the table.

Two prison guards wearing masks pushed the door in. Hawke closed the folder and said to them: "Take the newcomer to the confinement room. He needs a proper environment to reflect on the crimes he has committed."

The guards released Levi's from the chair.Hawke stopped at the door, turned his head, and gave him a smile: "Actually, it's all the same, AS18, as I said, there are no secrets here, within three days you will beg me to listen to your confession. You don't Know yourself, the human need for communication is actually stronger than food, especially in an isolated place like Gablin, as time goes by, the big secrets will become meaningless to you .”

Levi's was locked in an extremely small confinement room.

This is a small cabin with a length and width of less than 1.2 meters and a height of less than 1.5 meters. Except for a small toilet in the corner, the rest is empty.

In other words, no matter whether Levi's is standing or lying down, he can't fully stretch his body, he can only choose to sit or curl up and lie on the ground.

The door closed, the last faint light disappeared, and the surroundings fell into absolute darkness.Levi groped and sat down against the wall, and found that the walls and floor here were made of plastic, even the toilet, which should be to prevent the prisoner from committing suicide or self-harm.

There is no light, no sound, and even the sense of touch is blurred as much as possible. This is a typical sensory deprivation confinement.

Levi's heart sank slowly. This was the punishment he was most afraid of encountering. It was even more terrifying than electrocution water type, because some scientists had done sensory deprivation experiments, and almost no one could escape unscathed in this cruel experiment. , the highest record can only last ten days.

Moreover, the experimenter who created the highest record also suffered from serious mental illness in the end. He could hardly communicate normally in the second half of his life, and he could no longer engage in his previous job.

So, how long is Hawk going to keep him?

Thinking of Hawke's indifferent blue eyes, Levi's shuddered.

The only thing we can pray for now is that Sang Guoting can start the criminal exchange plan as soon as possible, and force the DHS to protect his health and safety with blood.

The senses of people in the dark are infinitely magnified, and Levi can hear his rapid breathing, and even the sound of his blood surging.He curled up on his knees, rubbed his fingers against the bruises of his ankle shackles, let the pain pull him away from the fear, and tried to calmly think about how to survive this potentially very long confinement.

Zong Ming once told him that the most terrifying thing about sensory deprivation is losing the sense of time. Once the time is out of order, people's physiological functions will also be in disorder, eventually leading to mental breakdown.Therefore, to resist this kind of confinement, we must use the remaining instincts of the body at the beginning, keep a regular schedule as much as possible, and artificially create a sense of time for ourselves.

Levi took a few deep breaths, straightened his legs and closed his eyes, and began to recall the first half of his life in his mind, summarizing his life in a regular and planned way in units of one year.

He once did a test at Stone Lake Farm. If he recalled in a fixed format, it would take about an hour to sum up every year.

He was a little nervous at the beginning, after all, the psychological pressure in his own home was completely different from that in Gabrin’s confinement room, but maybe he was optimistic by nature, maybe Zong Ming was well educated, and he forced himself to enter the prison in a short time. Smooth memories.

Kindergarten party, [-]th birthday... Mom sold the house and took him back to Texas to take over from Grandpa's restaurant... Eden came to visit him and took him to Disney... The man wore Tigger hairpins, back view So tall, with a pink marshmallow sticking out of Buzz Lightyear's backpack...

and many more!

Levi's eyes widened suddenly, and he realized that he had recalled Eden, the man who was abandoned by his biological father when he was a child.

Eden took him to Disney?Bought him cotton candy?

is it?

Levi wiped his forehead in the dark, completely unable to determine whether the memory was real, or an illusion created in his subconscious because of his longing for fatherly love.There was a time when he longed for the attention of older men and envied boys who could play baseball with their father on weekends. During that time, he had many dreams of Eden taking him to climb mountains, take him to swim, and take him to school carnivals. ...

But never seem to dream of them going to Disney together.

Levi was thinking in a daze, and inexplicably recalled some fragmented dreams - surging waves, three-yoke sailboats, crowded refugees... It seems that since returning to the United States, to be sure, since he was persecuted by the police, his brain began to randomize. produce some unexplainable images.

Those pictures are both real and false, which confused him and confused him.

But for a moment, it gave him the illusion of "approaching some truth".

Levi's sat blankly in the dark confinement room, and it took a long time to realize that he was in prison and in confinement, so he pinched his swollen ankle severely, and continued the previous fixed-format memory.

Thinking is the most effective weapon against loneliness, but at the same time, it may also be a shortcut to unintentional collapse, because excessive indulging in the spiritual world can easily cause hallucinations and make people unable to distinguish between reality and emptiness.Levi's kept Zong Ming's warning in mind, and every time he recalled a year, he would do a set of strength training in a narrow confinement room to make his body extremely tired and pull himself out of the mud of consciousness.

Due to the limited space, he can only do some movements like crunches and Russian twists. At this time, he regrets why he didn't learn yoga, or learn some Taoist meditation.

In fact, there is another activity that can make people relax and feel the presence of the body, and that is masturbation. Masturbation can make a man experience the mystery of the body to the maximum, but Levi's dare not use this nirvana easily because He had just gone through four days of starvation, cold and lack of sleep, and he really didn't dare to waste his limited physical strength.

What if Hawke is also a fan of hungry meals?

In order to make up for this shortcoming, he can only recall his shameless newlywed life in the gap between exercise and thinking.

Having said that, the two of them were really lecherous back then...

Fortunately, when he felt hunger more and more clearly, the door of the confinement room rang, the small lattice on the door was opened, and a beam of dim light came in, and then someone handed him a hot dog from outside, A bottle of cold water.

It should have been about ten hours since he was locked in, and Levi's subconsciously rushed towards the beam of light, with a longing that he didn't even realize.However, within a second, the light disappeared, the small grid was closed, the prison guard's footsteps left slowly, and the surroundings returned to deathly silence again.

Although the short-lived light was extremely weak, it made the darkness look so cruel and terrifying. Levi's leaned against the door and breathed heavily, hearing the sound of himself swallowing saliva, and the sound of eyelashes blinking... He groped for the hot dog slowly biting Then, even the sound of teeth biting through the casing was as clear as thunder.

It's only been ten hours, and there's still a long way to go.

Levi kept repeating this sentence in his heart, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or making himself despair.

He grabbed his ankle and gently stroked the location of the ear of wheat tattoo, which Zong Ming had personally tattooed for him, and promised him that if he couldn't wash it off in the future, he would accompany him to get an identical tattoo on the same location.

Yes, he is not alone, although he is in hell, everyone in UMBRA is with him.

They are all with him.

Levi counted silently from one to ten in his heart, adjusted his breathing, and continued the previous fixed-format memory.
