It is strictly forbidden to pay for the ticket after getting on the bus

After hearing these words, the old woman raised her drooping eyelids, and there was a glimmer of gleam in her eyes, which had been immaculate all the time. She smiled sadly, and repeated, "What's the difference between the living and the dead?"

Bai Luochuan was inexplicably amused, and leaned forward to answer the question: "Of course there is a difference between the dead and the living, because they fear different things, don't you think so?"

The old woman glanced at him, and her eyes returned to the unwavering look before. She ignored them and whispered to herself while packing the dinner plate: "The dead and the living are all the same, all the same..."

"Did I say she doesn't understand human language?" Si Qi muttered in a low voice, looking like this, she couldn't ask anything. They packed up and walked out of the cafeteria.

"These prisoners are all going upstairs, maybe upstairs is the cell?" Lin Jiu stared at a prisoner in front of him who came out after eating. He was wearing an obvious prison uniform, and his leg shackles were dragging on the ground, and his fingers were exposed. Seems a bit distorted.

"The discipline is so good, why don't you consciously go back to your room?" Si Qi teased.

"That's right," Bai Luochuan suddenly said, "The discipline is so good... don't you need prison guards to guard it? Are you afraid that someone will cause trouble?"

"Perhaps in this kind of icy and snowy place, there won't be any big troubles if you make trouble?"

"But it's not completely zero supervision, right?" Bai Luochuan stroked his chin and thought about it carefully, "Since eating just now, have you seen any prison guards here?"

"I don't think I've seen it before, except for the prisoner, it's the old lady, it doesn't make sense..." Bai Jue also felt something was wrong.

"What's even more inconceivable is that even if there were no prison guards, these prisoners would obediently eat, go upstairs, and maybe even lock themselves obediently." Bai Luochuan thought about that scene, and he was also happy while talking. It took a long time to realize that the other three people didn't speak, they just stared at him fixedly.

Bai Luochuan spread his hands speechlessly: "You don't think they will really lock you, do you?"

"That's not sure, let's go up and have a look."

They first walked around the first floor. There should be only the cafeteria and some administrative offices on this floor. After going up the stairs to the second floor, there are prison cells on the entire floor.

At a glance, there are quite a few rooms, about thirty or forty rooms, each about six or seven square meters, with bunk beds, washstands and toilets inside, which are clear at a glance.

At the moment, there are people in most of the rooms, and through an iron fence, the people inside can see the outside, and the people outside can also see the inside clearly.

Among those people, several Bai Jue saw it in the cafeteria just now, that is to say, they came back here by themselves after eating, and seeing the lock on the iron fence, it was still locked .

"This is really weird..." Si Qi whispered, "Shouldn't all the prisoners shown on TV be dragged into lawlessness? Three days a small riot, five days a big row, why are everyone here so obedient?"

They went up to the third floor again, where there was also a prison room, the number of prisoners was not as large as downstairs, but they were all in the same state, staying quietly in the room, not caring about Bai Jue's arrival at all.

After half a day, nothing happened. The possible prison riot that Bai Jue imagined last night did not appear at all. The prisoners didn't even make loud noises. For me, it's pretty peaceful.

Unexpectedly, something happened in the afternoon.

Because Bai Luochuan was a little afraid of the cold, and he hadn't seen all the places in the main building, Bai Jue and the others kept wandering around in the building without going out, but when it was three or four o'clock, they suddenly heard a mournful sound coming from outside. scream.

They were startled, and when they left the main building and walked around to the big playground, they realized that there were already several people surrounded there.

"What happened?" Bai Jue pushed aside the crowd and walked inside.

After the crowd dispersed to both sides, they saw the man lying on the hard mud floor, to be precise, it should be the skin.

"Ugh—" Lin Jiu retched and took two steps back.

That appearance was too miserable, as if all the flesh and bones on his body had been pulverized by a blender, and then all the fillings were sucked out of it, leaving only an empty skin bag that fell crookedly on the ground.

Surrounded by his scattered bones and flesh and pools of blood, it makes people sick to watch.Even though the weather was so cold and the cold wind was blowing, there was still a strong smell of blood.

"How did he get this look?" Bai Jue asked, "Did anyone see it?"

"I...I don't know!" said a person named Wu Xuan.

"You don't know, so who the hell knows?" The other person was a little grumpy, "You two lived together last night, and you acted together just now, and you were the one who screamed beside him when he died, except you, Who else can see clearly!?"

Bai Jue cast his eyes on Wu Xuan, he looked like he was about to cry, and his speech was a bit incoherent.

"He... he just kept crying out for pain. The wound was scratched by a wooden thorn when we burned wood last night. It was a big wound. The bleeding had stopped last night, but since the afternoon he started to I kept screaming for pain, and the wound was still open. At that time, I thought he was making a big fuss. Although the wound was not small, it didn't hurt so badly, but as he walked...he suddenly fell apart— —”

"Break up?" Si Qi was terrified by his description.

"Yes! It's just gone!" Wu Xuan stared straight at his companion's skin, as if he was about to be dazed, "First, blood spurted out quickly, then flesh and bones... ..."

"Are you talking shit!?" Someone next to him sneered.

After hearing this, Lin Jiu's mind associates images too quickly, and his stomach, which has just calmed down, shows some signs of churning.

"So, this person was killed by the wood in the room? What kind of strange way of death is this?" Someone sneered absurdly.

"It's really like this...it's really like this, I'm not lying..." Wu Xuan defended feebly, but obviously, the people around him didn't quite believe what he said.

----------------

The night in Xueyuan came early, so dinner was eaten early, but after seeing the fragmented scene in the afternoon, there were obviously very few people with appetite.

"Do you believe what Wu Xuan said?" Si Qi gnawed on a meat bun while drinking pumpkin soup, seemingly unaffected at all.

"It's only the first day, and I haven't seen any clues about the ticket, so there's no need for him to lie." Bai Jue also ate the food on his plate calmly.

"That's also..."

"Luo Chuan, what are you doing? Can't eat?" Bai Jue fiddled with Bai Luo Chuan's hair on the side. The food on his plate was messed up by himself with chopsticks, but the total amount did not decrease much. "Stomach sick? Eat less than Erjiu."

Lin Jiu: "...I've tried my best to adapt, and the next step is to reach the level where Si Qi eats normally!"

Si Qi: "Oh, it's terrible. You must strengthen your husband!"

"......Neuropathy."

"I'm wondering how that person died," Bai Luochuan poked at the food on the plate, "was it because he was injured by wood, or just because of the wound, or because of other reasons..."

"Then did you come up with a reason?" Bai Jue helped him put the cold food aside.

"No," Bai Luochuan spread his hands, "But if it's just because of the wound, then it's not easy."

"Why is it difficult? Are you afraid that you will cut your wrists in a hurry?" Si Qi asked, and Bai Jue's movements also stopped.

"No." Bai Luochuan looked around their faces in confusion, and sighed, "Do you see anyone among us who has no cleft lips? Everyone has them, and they all have wounds."

Si Qi: "..."

Lin Jiu: "..."

Bai Jue: "...Honey, your focus is really peculiar."

"Oh, I don't want to either," Bai Luochuan sighed, "The main thing is that I can't justify dying if I get scratched by wood, why don't you give me a kiss, it might be good to kiss the crack."

"Then there should be other conditions," Bai Jue nodded calmly, "The wound is one of the reasons, otherwise that person wouldn't have kept screaming for pain, but no matter what the reason is, you have to finish my meal first!"

At the end, I added a sentence: "I won't give you a kiss until I finish eating."

"Okay!" Bai Luochuan contentedly began to grill the rice.

Not long after the meal, the sky had gradually darkened. The old lady who had disappeared appeared at the door of the main building at this time, looking at these 'outsiders' with a blank expression.

"What does this mean?" Si Qi was a little puzzled, "See off the guests?"

The old woman said politely at this time: "Everyone, please go back to rest in the tower after eating. It's windy at night, so please don't walk around outside."

"Yeah, this is a chase away." Bai Luochuan said.

"Do you really think they treat you as a guest?" Bai Jue ruthlessly exposed him.

"At least the superficial skills must be done well."

Walking out of the gate of the main building one after another, Bai Jue looked at the sky, pulled Lin Jiu's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Two nine forty-seven, you put up cover, and Luo Chuan and I walked around to the playground to have a look."

"Why do you need to cover? The old lady didn't say that she must go back to the lighthouse immediately."

"In my intuition, it's better for us not to get her attention." After Bai Jue explained, he and Bai Luochuan turned to the side of the prison playground in a blind spot on the road.

In the afternoon, the place where the person died was close to the edge of the barbed wire fence. Bai Jue and Bai Luochuan saw the place without going in. The skin on the ground had disappeared. It snowed during dinner, and the broken bones and meat were roughly covered. It was covered up, leaving no traces, and even the smell of blood was almost gone.
