The 3,102 inmates are now either playing with the newcomers or staying in the entertainment area. There are also a small number of people doing exercise in the fitness equipment area. No one seems to be very interested in reading.
As a result, Li Shutong, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Ye Wan seemed a little different at this time.
Lin Xiaoxiao squatted on a chair with a playful smile, his feet bare, and his shoes scattered beside him.
Ye Wan stood upright behind Li Shutong, looking around from time to time.
Lin Xiaoxiao’s pretty face and clear eyes showed him to be particularly smart at first glance, while Ye Wan was relatively stronger and had a bit more resoluteness on his face.
One is more like a book boy, while the other is more like a bodyguard.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw that Li Shutong had finished reading the news and said: "Boss, that boy didn't help the other newcomers."
Li Shutong nodded: "It's normal not to help. , He is so decisive when playing chess that he can even cut off his own arms to survive, let alone others."
"Chess is chess, and I dare to give up my pieces on the chessboard. Ah... Boss, do you want to continue playing chess with him tomorrow?" Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked.
"Let's play," Li Shutong said with a smile: "If you don't play with him, how about playing with you two stinky chess baskets?" In the reading area, Li Shutong was sitting next to the long wooden table, holding his hands He held a brand new reader inside and looked at it carefully. There were all kinds of news this morning.
The huge cat lay on the table and fell asleep again, as if the purpose of a cat's life was to sleep in different places.
This reading area is like a small library, but there are no paper books on the "bookshelf" here, but readers that are charging in the slots.
There are dozens of long tables among the bookshelves, enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people, but they are empty at this time.
Serving a sentence in the prison fortress
Ye Wan said in a thick voice beside him: "I am a little stronger than Lin Xiaoxiao."
"But I am also stronger. Not going anywhere." Li Shutong looked at Ye Wan and clicked on the news on the reader with his finger: "Do you remember the Guo Huchan captured by the Chen Group? The trial process has been completed and should be handed over to the police in the next few days. Prison No. 18, you should get in touch with him when the time comes."
Ye Wan nodded: "I have dealt with him once before. Although this person is difficult to get along with, at least we can communicate with him."
"Well," Li Shutong nodded, then turned to look at Lin Xiaoxiao: "What do you think about the boy's collapse this morning?"
"I've been observing it for a long time. , I always felt that something was wrong," Lin Xiaoxiao analyzed: "It seemed that the boy was talking nonsense after a breakdown, but when he mentioned the words Los Angeles and Wynn Group, he was very sure, as if it was indeed true. "
"His identity?" Li Shutong asked.
"After checking, he is just an ordinary social idler who dropped out of middle school. He followed the Black Tiger in City 18He organized a business in mechanical prosthetic limbs and was suspected of illegally snatching mechanical prosthetic limbs but there was no evidence. He was finally charged with tax evasion and tax evasion. All his past life experiences can be found, but the Los Angeles and Wynn Group he mentioned are really hard to find out. Arrive," Lin Xiaoxiao said.
No one saw Lin Xiaoxiao check anything, but it seemed that it only took him an hour to check out the collapsed boy.< /p>
This is the most amazing place
Li Shutong said: "Continue to pay attention, this boy must have other problems. Also, what's going on with the guy I'm playing chess with? "
Lin Xiaoxiao said: "You have just finished playing this game of chess. I haven't had time to check it yet. I will give you an answer before lunch break. ”
“Okay,” Li Shutong nodded while continuing to browse the reader.
Lin Xiaoxiao quietly looked at Li Shutong, and he suddenly realized that the boss was interested in the young man. Heartbroken.
Just when he was about to continue saying something, Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look outside the reading area. At this time, Qingchen was walking slowly, looking at the surrounding environment carefully.
Qingchen looked at Li Shutong first, then tried to gently pull out a PAD-like reader from the "bookshelf" and pressed the power button.
Qingchen stared at the screen.
If there is any way to quickly understand the world, it must be reading books about this world.
He did not expect that this world is even connected with paper. The quality books have been eliminated, and the remaining ones are electronic products.
However, when the reader is turned on, it is not an operation interface, but a login interface.
Lin Xiaoxiao on the side. He walked over and chuckled: "This is your first time in prison. If you want to use this reader, you must first register an account with your prison sentence number. After you log in, your recent reading track will be displayed, including your bookmarks, as well as your set reading habits and font size. "
Qing Chenxin said that this thing is quite user-friendly.
"By the way, it also has a built-in artificial intelligence voice. You can call it by name and it will help you find it. The content you want to find is like this." Lin Xiaoxiao also took out a reader and said: "One. "
"I'm here," a pleasant female voice sounded in the reader. Qingchen remembered this voice, which was exactly the same as the voice in the prison fortress announcing that dinner was ready.
The formulaic tone, But it doesn’t make people feel stiff.
Lin Xiaoxiao said to the reader: "Help me find the book "Brown". "
"Okay, I have found "Brown" for you," the artificial intelligence 'One' responded.
"Look," Lin Xiaoxiao turned the reader in his hand Handed to Qingchen, the brown book was already open.
Qingchen took a look at the prison uniform he was wearing, and it was numbered 010101.
After registering. , Qingchen looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Where can I watch the news? It's the one in that person's hand. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao looked back at the reader in his boss's hand, and then laughed: "Don't think about it, your reader account doesn't have access to the Internet, not even me."
Qingchen He knew clearly in his heart that it seemed that Li Shutong's status in this prison was indeed extraordinary.
Just like the other party can raise cats in prison.
He said nothing more, but thanked him and then looked down at the content in his reader.
Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Li Shutong and looked at Qingchen casually.
But he suddenly discovered that Qingchen’s reader turned pages very quickly!
Generally, one page in a reader is 800 words, and it would take at least a minute for a normal person to read it, right? However, Qingchen turned the page every two seconds!
Lin Xiaoxiao whispered to Li Shutong: "Boss, he didn't read the reader seriously at all. Maybe he just wanted to get closer and get a chance to get along with you."
"Don't be troublesome," Li Shutong said without raising his head: "Don't underestimate other people's desire to survive. If you and him were to switch roles, you would probably be more eager than him. Xiaoxiao, you must learn to think in other people's shoes. "
Lin Xiaoxiao said with a playful smile: "I know, I know."
Qingchen found a seat and sat down, and he kept writing down the contents of the reader. , and then quickly turned the pages. It lasted more than three hours without even changing the sitting position.
For others, reading may be a pastime after dinner, but for him, it is one of the ways to understand the world and survive.
The content on the reader is obviously carefully selected. There is almost no important information. 95% of the content is actually philosophy and chicken soup for the soul...
But it doesn’t matter. Now any Information is important to him.
Qingchen has always been a person who cherishes opportunities.
It was almost lunch time, and Li Shutong finally put down the reader and logged out of his account.
Ye Wanxin took the reader with understanding and put it back into the slot on the bookshelf.
Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao were like Li Shutong’s closest followers.
Li Shutong glanced at Qingchen when he stood up. He felt that something was wrong. The young man was so focused on reading that he didn't even notice that he was getting up. It didn't look like he was acting.
He suddenly asked: "What is the content of the third line on the previous page?"
The voice was as gentle as jade, and when he spoke, it was as if he was suddenly transported to an ancient place. In the teahouse, I listened to the elders’ respectful teachings.
"When order becomes chaos, you have to use chaos to maintain order and save the law," Qingchen raised his head and said.
Ye Wan took the reader from Qingchen and turned to the previous page: "Boss, that's right."
At this moment, Qingchen suddenly saw the The big cat opened his eyes, and he clearly felt that the other person's eyes were full of surprise when he looked at him.
It was as if... the other party could always understand everyone's conversations, and he was also surprised by Qingchen's memory ability.
Li Shutong was stunned for a moment after hearing Ye Wan's confirmation, then he greeted the big cat and left with a smile: "It's more interesting, let's go, it's time to start dinner."
I don't know why, Qingchen always felt that Li Shutong had a unique temperament when he walked, and his fluttering white training uniform looked like he was stepping on clouds.
