Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 25
[25. New Nightmare]
After the chaos, the prisoners slowly got up, and dozens of mechanical prison guards entered the square with the sound of neat hydraulic transmission, instructing the prisoners to clean up everything that was knocked over here.
In the dining room, Guo Huchan sat cross-legged on the ground not far away, as if the old monk had settled down.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the black rubber bullets all over the floor and sighed: “The gods fight and mortals suffer, but the people who fight are nothing. Those prisoners who didn’t fight are really unlucky. Hey, Guo Huchan, there are not all rumors outside that you are compassionate. Do you often do good deeds, how about those who are implicated by you?”
Guo Huchan said without raising his eyelids: “You told me in prison that you hurt innocents? There is one here, and none of them are innocent.”
“Hypocritical,” Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at his mouth.
“Also, let me emphasize,” Guo Huchan opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a smile: “I’m not a monk, don’t use words like compassion to describe me.”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and carefully adjusted his breath.
He didn’t seem to be injured in the battle with Li Shutong just now, but now his internal organs are really uncomfortable, and it feels like he has been burned by a fire.
When everyone saw him meditating quietly, they stopped caring. Lin Xiaoxiao gave Ye Wan a wink, and suddenly, an invisible force field spread around them.
Qingchen had just seen this ability. When the black rain fell from the steel sky, all the raindrops that fell on Ye Wan were bounced off by this force field.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw that Qingchen was a little puzzled, and explained with a smile: “Speak with confidence, your voice won’t get out.”
Li Shutong sat at the dining table and took the big cat into his arms, then said to Qingchen: “In the morning, I saw Lu Guangyi interrogating those people during the ceremony of the newcomer. Did you explain it?”
“It’s me,” Qing Chen knew that the other party already knew about his relationship with the Qing family, and that Lu Guangyi obeyed him, so he didn’t hide it.
“Why interrogate them?” Li Shutong asked.
“I want to see what other forces are competing with me for taboos,” Qing Chen lied, and he needed to find a reasonable reason to explain his behavior.
Li Shutong nodded: “I like your frankness, but I think Lu Guangyi didn’t abuse those newcomers this time, is that what you mean?”
“Yes,” Qing Chen said.
“But I remember that when you first came in, you didn’t help other newcomers,” Li Shutong said.
“As far as I can,” Qing Chen said.
Li Shutong smiled and did not comment on it.
If it is difficult for him to protect himself, then Qingchen will quietly watch other people die without helping. This is his principle.
His life has never been smooth sailing, so he learned to be selfish early on.
This is the life attitude that life has given him, not his own choice.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Guo Huchan who was not far away…
Qing Chen turned his head and saw Guo Huchan still sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, but his long arms were already hanging by his side.
I saw the other party prop up the whole body with the index and middle fingers of both hands, slightly off the ground.
Then the four fingers approached Ye Wan’s force field little by little like walking…
This guy obviously found that he couldn’t hear everyone’s conversation sitting there, so he wanted to sneak closer.
This made Qingchen a little dumbfounded, a rough man two meters tall and covered in totems, who was fighting with unparalleled might just one moment, but pretending to sit cross-legged to adjust his breath the next moment, but he actually wanted to eavesdrop on other people’s chats.
The contrast is too great.
As if feeling the eyes of everyone, Guo Huchan moved himself back to his original position with four fingers without changing his face, as if nothing had happened.
This scene made Li Shutong amused: “Let’s go, let’s go. It’s a pity that I couldn’t play chess today. I’m going to read a book.”
Before leaving, Lin Xiaoxiao squatted in front of Guo Huchan and said with a smile: “If you lose, just stay honest,
We really don’t want to have revenge with spades. We know that it’s not easy for you to suffer in the wilderness, but don’t you make trouble for us?
”
Guo Huchan raised his eyelids: “I didn’t lose to you, why are you so proud?”
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: “Do you think I can’t cure you?”
Guo Huchan said calmly: “You try to touch a hair of mine.”
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the top of the other party’s bright head: “…?”
The rumor is really just a rumor, this Guo Huchan is completely different from what he heard!
Qing Chen ignored the two of them continuing to bicker, but turned around and went to the window to grab a meal, and then devoured it.
He was poor in the world, and he ate compressed biscuits for two days after traveling back in time. There was rice, noodles and vegetables at home, but there was no meat. He couldn’t afford meat.
Although the food here is average, the synthetic meat has a meaty taste anyway.
Qingchen felt a little emotional in his heart, the prison food in this world is actually better than what he usually eats when he was in the world.
While burying his head in the meal, he raised his head inadvertently, and suddenly found that a quarter of the 210 cameras in Prison No. 18 turned towards him silently.
It seemed that he had just found a dead spot for shooting between the lightning and flint, which caught someone’s attention.
But he didn’t know who was behind the surveillance.
Lin Xiaoxiao finished fighting with Guo Huchan, stood up and put Qingchen’s plate aside, then took another plate and went to the window to pat it, and said to the robot inside: “The boss has explained it to him later. In exchange for real meat, give him as much as he wants.”
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: “Why?”
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously: “You will soon know, this may not be a good thing.”
…
At night, when UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Qingchen returned to the cell and was brushing his teeth, he suddenly felt sleepy, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.
But this time, he didn’t fall directly to the ground and fell asleep like last time. Instead, he rinsed his mouth calmly and earnestly. After he lay down on the bed in a comfortable position, he slowly closed his eyes.
The nightmare begins.
In the dream, Qingchen appeared in a desert with two people sitting on the opposite dune.
In this nightmare world, the sand is full of yellow sand and the sun is poisonous.
After just a few seconds, Qing Chen felt that his lips were dry and cracked.
One of the people on the opposite side begged him: “Qingchen, give us a drink of the water in your backpack, or we will die if you don’t drink it.”
Qing Chen took off the luggage behind him and opened it, and there was indeed a bottle of water inside.
He didn’t speak.
The person on the other side couldn’t bear it any longer: “We don’t drink yours for nothing, you can set a price yourself.”
At this time, a voice suddenly asked in Qingchen’s ear: “Facing your companion who is about to die of thirst, how would you make a bid?”
Qingchen looked at the person opposite coldly and said, “I’ll let the person next to you watch you die of thirst, and then let him make an offer.”
As soon as the voice fell, the person opposite turned into Lin Xiaoxiao’s appearance, and the other person slowly dissipated like a bubble.
Lin Xiaoxiao said speechlessly, “Are you still human?”
“I already knew that this was your nightmare, so naturally there would be no sympathy,” Qing Chen found a place to sit comfortably.
“It’s really weird,” Lin Xiaoxiao said, sitting across from him, “Now that you can stay awake and remember after entering the nightmare, you should be able to resist the nightmare’s call.”
“Well, yes,” Qing Chen replied succinctly.
