The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 18 The Nonexistent Death Row
Happy time always flies by very fast, and this night passed in a blink of an eye.

As a newcomer, he was sent to the "infirmary" on the first day he entered Arkham, and Professor Yang personally greeted him. This was almost the most worthy welcome ceremony in recent years.So in the early morning of the next day, people in the entire prison area were looking forward to what the newcomer would look like after a night of hellish torture.

In fact, not only newcomers, everyone who has been to the infirmary will become the focus of attention of these crazy criminals, because they really have nothing to do every day, so they can see their inmates being harmed every now and then. The appearance that life is worse than death is considered a very good entertainment project for them.

However, after the gate of the prison area was opened.

The expected cheers did not resound, and no one sneered or ridiculed. Even a lot of obscenities that had been prepared long ago were suppressed in their throats, and they could not be uttered at all.

Because everyone is dumbfounded.

Seeing that Ziliang was fine, they walked in by themselves under the escort of two prison guards.

He staggered into his cell, and handed him a pack of cigarettes after the prison guard unlocked his handcuffs.

Yes, it was one pack of cigarettes, a whole pack, in fact, it was more accurate to say one pack and four, because after that, the prison guard took out four more cigarettes and put them on Ziliang's bed.

Ziliang is located on the second floor, so many people on the upper and lower floors could see this scene. Most of these people opened their mouths wide and stayed where they were in a daze. A few people started sleepwalking. I pinched myself until my face was twitched, still a little unbelievable, and a few more foolishly looked at the new prisoner, feeling a little weak in their legs, and slid along the iron railing to sit on the ground.

Ziliang's hands were shaking.

But of course it was not because of fear, he tremblingly picked up a cigarette on the bed, put it in his mouth, and gave the prison guard behind him a big look.
Immediately afterwards, to the horror of everyone, the prison guard really took out the lighter and lit it for him.

"Fuck, what's the situation?" People who saw this scene were not calm. For a few seconds, they even subconsciously felt that they had been cheated for so many years. In fact, Arkham Asylum is an extremely free, friendly, A humane sanitation facility.

In fact, the prisoners can have such a big reaction and they are not to blame. Over the years, these prisoners have seen countless cruel and crazy people, including themselves, but no matter how self-righteous people are, they will walk away under the hands of Professor Yang. After one experience, they were all devastated and no longer dared to be arrogant.

So how have they seen a person who can be so calm after a night of torture?Could it be that Professor Yang was sick yesterday and didn't come to work?
Just kidding, everyone knows that this is impossible, because the sequelae of muscle twitching are obviously the reaction after torture, and it is the cruelest kind!So... what's going on with this guy?Why does it seem like nothing happened, and what kind of expression is on his face, why does he look so cool?Most importantly, where did his smoke come from?

No one knew what happened that night, not even the prison guards. Anyway, when they went to pick up the prisoner, they were surprised to find that he didn't seem to have changed much. Not good, and those cigarettes, you may not believe it, were all given to this person by Professor Yang.

The two prison guards felt that this person was really weird, so they quickly closed the cell door and left in a hurry.

As soon as the prison guards left, the whispers of the entire prison area began to sound. Those prisoners who could not see this scene due to their position began to desperately ask others what happened, and those who saw this scene also hesitated. It took me a long time to sort out how to explain this matter.The voices began to get louder and louder, one after another, but no one dared to take the initiative to talk to the new prisoner and ask what was going on.

at this time.

"To shut up."

A not too big and lazy voice sounded.

All of a sudden, the noise that had just ignited was instantly quieted down, and even some people who hadn't heard at all shut their mouths subconsciously.

And this voice, of course, came from Ziliang. He leaned back on the bed with a slumped face, and his mood seemed to suddenly become very bad.

After this night, he has basically broken through Professor Yang's psychological defense. The specific method is to constantly lure him to torture himself more brutally, and then after the torture, he calmly gives some humiliating words. Comments, by the way, let me make a bet that this seemingly simple method is extremely effective on some people with dark hearts, because the only thing people like Professor Yang can do is to torture people. He can only find some value of his own existence in the screams and pleadings of the prisoners, and if you completely ignore his torture methods at this time, the stimulation to him will be like panting after turning clouds and rain on the bed, that A woman or a man gave him a very contemptuous ridicule.

This is something he cannot accept no matter what!
So, as long as you use this simple method, you can make the bet bigger and bigger, from one cigarette, to two, to a whole pack, and finally...even the name of "Prisoner No. 21".

In fact, this set of methods is indeed very useful. In order to maintain his little bit of dignity, Professor Yang finally found out who the No. 21 prisoner is for Ziliang.

However, the answer was beyond his expectation. There is no prisoner No. 21 at all.

It turned out that seven or eight years ago, the Arkham Asylum was expanded, and all the prisoners who came in after that were marked with letters and numbers, just like license plate numbers, and there was no regularity between all the numbers. Random, for example, Ziliang's prisoner number is [35A51].

The old-fashioned code name "No. 21" prisoner has long been banned.

This news made Ziliang very depressed.

At the same time, he naturally noticed that almost all the changes in this city pointed to a certain period of time seven or eight years ago.

"During that time...what happened?"

Ziliang crossed Erlang's legs, smoking a cigarette while thinking.

"Hey, it would be great if 'Compass' was here. I haven't used my brain to think about things for a long time, and I'm not used to it."

He muttered, his outline blurred by the swirling smoke.
