The prisoners cautiously got up after the hail of bullets. More than a dozen robot guards entered the prison and started instructing the prisoners to recover everything that was knocked over.
In the cafeteria, Guo Huchan sat like an old monk, cross-legged on the floor.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the black rubber bullets scattered all over the floor and said, "When gods fight, mortals suffer. It is a shame that the other prisoners did nothing and yet were beaten up like this, while you two fighting got away with barely a scratch. Hey, Guo Huchan, didn’t they claim you were a very charitable person? So, how can you explain the sorrow you've inflicted today?"
Guo Huchan said without even opening his eyes, “You are talking about innocence, in Prison 18? No one here can be considered innocent. "
Lin Xiaoxiao criticized, “Hypocrite.”
"Also, keep in mind that I'm not a monk, so don't use the word generous to describe me," Guo Huchan added as he finally opened his eyes.
He then went back to his recovery procedure and closed his eyes.
Just then after the battle, he appeared not to be hurt at all, but in reality, all his organs felt like they had been burned in a fire, an extremely unpleasant feeling.
As Lin Xiaoxiao saw that he wouldn’t be acknowledging others anymore, he turned his gaze to Ye Wan. Suddenly, they were both engulfed by a translucent force bubble.
When the rubber bullets started raining down, Qing Chen had noticed this surrounding Ye Wan.
Seeing Qing Chen's confusion, Lin Xiaoxiao explained, "Feel free to speak as loud as you want in here, the sound will be contained inside. "
Li Shutong grabbed the large cat on the table into his lab and said to Qing Chen, "This morning, I saw that Lu Guangyi was interrogating the newcomers while doing their newcomer ceremony. You told him to do so, right? "
"Yes," Qing Chen said, knowing that Li Shutong was well aware of his ties to the Qing Family and that Lu Guangyi was his man.
"Why interrogate them? asked Li Shutong.
"I want to see who else is after the forbidden items." Qing Chen lied. He needed a reasonable excuse to cover up his true intentions.
Li Shutong nodded, "I like your honesty, but I also saw that Lu Guangyi didn't beat up the newcomers like last time, did you ask him to do that as well?" "
"Yes," said Qing Chen.
"But I remember that when you first came here, you didn't want to help others," said Li Shutong.
"I'm just doing what I can," replied Qing Chen.
Li Shutong smiled and didn't comment on that.
If it was to protect himself, he would be willing to watch these people die and not step in to help.
His upbringing had been rough, so he learned to be selfish very early on.
This was what life had taught him, not a choice of his own.
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly faced Guo Huchan at this point…
Qing Chen turned his head and saw that Guo Huchan was still sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, but his two arms were alongside him.
He lifted his body up with his index and middle fingers.
Then with a walking motion with his fingers, he brought his body closer to Ye Wan's force bubble.
This guy must have found that they were having a conversation, so he wanted to get closer to eavesdrop on them.
Qing Chen made a wry face after seeing this. A two-meter tall man with black lines all over his body who was still fighting fearlessly a moment ago was now pretending to recover from the fight by eavesdropping on other people’s conversation.
The disparity was just too stark to be true.
As if he sensed that people were looking at him, Guo Huchan moved his body back to where he was with the four fingers and acted as if nothing had happened.
Li Shutong was also amused by this scene "It’s truly a shame we weren't able to play chess today. I'm going to read now."
Lin Xiaoxiao walked over to Guo Huchan before leaving and said, "Just admit your defeat and stay here. We don't want to fight against you just yet, and we know that life's quite hard in the wild. Just don't bring us any more trouble, alright? "
Guo Huchan raised his eyelids, "I never lost to you, so what are you here being so proud for? "
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You think I don't have a way to beat you? "
Guo Huchan calmly said, "I dare you to even touch my hair. "
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the person's shiny bald head, "……? "
Looks like this Guo Huchan was totally different from what he had heard in the rumors.
Qing Chen didn't bother to pay attention to these two arguments. He went straight to get some food and started eating.
He was so poor in the Outer World that all he had in the two days he was back were compressed biscuits. He did have rice and vegetables in his house, but he hadn't had meat of any kind for a very long time now.
The food here was not great, but at least the synthetic meat had a flavor somewhat resembling it
Qing Chen was a little saddened by the fact that even the food in this prison was better than the food he ate on a daily basis in the Outer World.
While he was eating, he looked up and noticed that of the 210 security cameras in Prison 18 almost a fourth of them had been aimed at him.
Looks like someone had noticed that he was able to find the only blind spot in the prison.
But until now, he still wasn't able to figure out who was behind these security cameras.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood up after finishing his argument with Guo Huchan and took Qing Chen's dinner dish to the side. He then got a new one and went to the food window, talking to the robot inside, "Boss said to give this kid real meat from now on. Allow him as much as he wants. "
Qing Chen was dumbfounded for a moment: "Why? "
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously, "You will know very soon. It might not be a good thing. "
……
That night, Qing Chen returned to his cell and as he was brushing his teeth, he suddenly felt a sense of drowsiness. He immediately noticed something was wrong.
But this time, he didn't fall onto the floor and pass out. He casually finished brushing his teeth and lay down on the bed in a comfortable position before he closed his eyes.
The nightmare started.
In the dream, Qing Chen emerged in the midst of a desert, facing him, two people were sitting.
Qing Chen's mouth was already dry and his lips were splitting after only a few seconds.
In an imploring tone, one of them said, "Please, Qing Chen, spare some water from your backpack and give it to us. We are on the verge of dying from thirst."
Qing Chen took off the large bags on his back and looked inside. Inside there was indeed a bottle of water.
He didn't reply.
The person in front of him couldn't hold it anymore and said, "We won't drink for nothing. Name a price and we can pay. "
"Faced with your companions dying, are you going to charge them a price for the water?" said a mystery voice beside Qing Chen's ear.
Qing Chen stared at the person closest to him coldly, "I'll let the person beside you die from thirst first, and I'll let him give me an offer. "
As he finished, the person closest to him turned into Lin Xiaoxiao and the other disappeared.
Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless and said, "Are you still a human being? "
"I knew that this was a nightmare, so why should I be kind?" said Qing Chen as he sat down at
