I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 257 Speculation
During dinner time, the "roommate" mentioned by Zhao Sicheng arrived as scheduled.

He looked to be in his early fifties, with dark skin, of medium build, with a slightly protruding lower abdomen, and a pair of shrewd eyes on a square face.

"I'm Wang Hengjun, you can just call me Old Wang." He smiled at everyone, and sat next to Zhao Sicheng with a plate.He picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Is the food in our prison not bad?"

"Well, the chef's skills are not bad, and it's more delicious than some restaurants outside." Wei Chongming, who was nervous, didn't think too much, and answered casually.

Ling Yun and the others didn't make a sound. Seeing this scene, Lao Wang smiled and shook his head: "At first, I thought so too, and I thought the treatment here was not bad. But it's been a long time, one month, two months, one year, two months Years, five years... I found out that there are only a few dishes every time, and I eat them back and forth. After all these years, I would get tired of changing it to anyone..."

Hearing what the other party said, Shen Tinglan smiled, took a sip of the soup and said: "For people like us, it's good to have a mouthful of hot food and soup, there's no need to be so picky."

As Zhao Sicheng said, Wang Hengjun is a fine individual.

He didn't answer Shen Tinglan's question directly, but sighed repeatedly: "I used to be young and ignorant, fooling around outside, and only wanted to go home when I had no money. I just remember that one year I was hungry outside for three or four times. God, when I walked in, I happened to catch up with the old lady making dumplings. Cabbage and pork stuffing, dipped in vinegar and Laba garlic, that is a fragrance... More than 30 years have passed, and the taste... I still can't forget it. "

Wang Hengjun smacked his lips, showing an expression of unfinished content.

"So, what you miss is your mother's craftsmanship?" Ling Yun said with a smile: "Let her do it for you again and never finish."

"My old lady died a long time ago, so I just want to have another dumpling." Wang Hengjun chuckled, "It's a pity, I can't even eat instant noodles in this poor place. Where are you guys? Don't you want to try it?"

"There must be a chance. We want to try it, but it's just a thought. Whether we can eat it or not is still a matter." Zhao Sicheng said calmly.

Wang Hengjun looked around and confirmed that the prison guards were not nearby, then lowered his voice and said, "That's right. I knew I was right."

Hearing what the other party said, Kong Xiang was a little puzzled: "But how did you see that we have that idea?"

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the prison guards, from yesterday to now, everyone has been very cautious in all their words and deeds. Unexpectedly, they still showed their flaws.

"Some birds have been locked in a cage for a long time, even if you open the door for it, it will not fly out. Only those who have just been caught and have not been domesticated will think of resisting."

Wang Hengjun smiled complacently: "I have stayed in this place for more than ten years, and I have seen all kinds of prisoners. Those of you who can hide from those slips (prison guards) can't fool me—because we all have the same goal."

"Since that's the case, I won't go around in circles about some things."

Shen Tinglan said: "That's right, we do have a way to escape from the cell, but if we want to leave here, we have to go through the East District. I want to ask you if you know anything about it."

Wang Hengjun snapped his fingers: "You should have found out, the prisoners here are very honest."

Everyone nodded. Just like Wang Hengjun said, when they first learned that the scene of the mission dungeon was a notorious prison, everyone was worried about similar problems.As a newcomer, when he first entered the prison, he would definitely be bullied miserably.

But now it seems that, apart from the occasional booing, no one has ever taken the initiative to find fault with them.You know, those locked up here are all vicious criminals? !

"Of course they're not afraid of those slippery people, but they can't stand it. This place is haunted." Wang Hengjun lowered his voice: "But in fact, when I first came here 30 years ago, there were no such taboos at all, and everything was still there." good."

The news of Wang Hengjun was undoubtedly a blockbuster, causing waves in the hearts of Ling Yun and the others.

He told everyone that the Kata Prison back then was not only famous for its special geographical conditions, surrounded by the sea, and almost impossible to escape from the prison, but also had such a terrible title as "hell on earth".

Because the detainees are all serious criminals, the warden and prison guards here are very strict.

The special confinement room in D area is used to punish those disobedient prisoners.They call it the "burrow" and lock the prisoners in a narrow and dark environment. Except for delivering meals, there will be no light in the room at other times.

Although this kind of punishment sounds like there is no need to suffer physical pain, the damage to the prisoner's body and mind is far more terrifying than imagined.

"This is sensory deprivation." Ling Yun said: "Under the condition of not being able to perceive the passage of time, people's psychology will collapse rapidly, and there will be auditory hallucinations, emotional anxiety, and lax thinking. In severe cases, it will form sensitive and extreme delusions. It eventually evolved into paranoid schizophrenia."

"Yes." Wang Hengjun said: "This perverted method was invented by the warden at the time. When I first came in 30 years ago, I was still a young boy. Because I was a newcomer, many old prisoners usually bullied me. .The group of guys did everything they could to find fault with the newcomers. They almost beat me to death several times. I found out later that they were using the newcomers to spread the flames! When the warden was here, there was no Stop torturing these prisoners."

Wang Hengjun said that although he only stayed in Kata Prison for three months, during this time, he witnessed with his own eyes the horror of more than a dozen prisoners being tortured to the point of collapse and madness.

"I have done a lot of things like licking blood with the tip of a knife. Although it has been so long, every time I recall the look in the eyes of that perverted warden, I still feel trembling in my heart." Wang Hengjun said: "Everyone in his Under the nose, you must be honest, and if he finds out that you don't obey the rules, even if you haven't eaten clean food or been lazy while working, you will be beaten severely."

For him, those three months in prison were more painful than three years.

"After I was released from prison, I felt that I had finally escaped from that hell on earth. A few years later, by chance, I heard from my brothers in the church that there was a large-scale riot in Kata Prison. Dozens of prisoners attacked the prison guards, and then from them He snatched weapons from his body and shot the warden and others. Although the outside world said that the prisoners wanted to escape, only I know that this is not the case at all.”

"How do you know?" Shen Tinglan asked back.

"Because of the time and the number of people." Wang Hengjun affirmed: "This is an island. If there is no ferry, it is impossible to leave. A long time ago, some prisoners tried to escape from the prison, but in the end their bodies were found at sea. Every three On the 15th day of the month, the ferry outside will sail to this island. If the prisoners really want to riot and flee collectively, they should choose that day."

"Then you mean that these prisoners didn't want to escape?" Kong Xiang couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"But in fact, there is no hope of escaping from here. Even if all the prisoners are assembled and the ferry is held hostage, even if they board the boat, they will not be able to escape the follow-up pursuit. The fewer people involved in prison escape, the more difficult it is to escape." Safety. The reason why they launched a large-scale riot is probably just to kill the warden and his party." Ling Yun said suddenly.
