All Worlds Madhouse

Chapter 18 The non-existent death row prisoner

Happy time always passes very quickly, and the night passed in the blink of an eye.

As a newcomer, on the first day he entered Arkham, he was sent to the "infirmary" and had Professor Yang personally greet him. This was almost the most befitting 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 this newcomer would become after a night of hellish torture.

In fact, not only newcomers, but everyone who has been to the infirmary will become the focus of this group of crazy criminals. Because they really have nothing to do every day, they can see their fellow inmates being harmed every now and then. The appearance of life being worse than death is a very good entertainment item for them.

However, after the prison door was opened.

There were no cheers as expected, no one was sarcastic, and even many of the obscene words that had been prepared were choked in the throat and could not be uttered at all.

Because everyone is confused.

They saw that Ziliang was fine and walked in under the escort of two prison guards.

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

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

Ziliang was on the second floor, so there were many people on the upper and lower floors who could see this scene. Most of these people had their mouths wide open and stayed there with confused expressions. A few people started to sleepwalk as if they were sleepwalking. They pinched themselves until their faces were sore. They still couldn't believe it. Some of them looked at the new prisoner dumbly. Feeling that their legs were a little weak, they slid along the iron railings and sat on the ground.

Ziliang's hands were shaking.

But of course he was not afraid. He tremblingly picked up a cigarette from the bed, put it in his mouth, and then gave the prison guard behind him a generous look.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the prison guard actually took out a lighter and lit it for him.

"Holy shit, what's going on?" People who saw this scene were not calm. For a few seconds, they even subconsciously felt that they had been deceived for so many years. In fact, Arkham Asylum was an extremely free and friendly place. Humanized nursing facility.

In fact, it is not surprising that the prisoners had such a big reaction. Over the years, these prisoners have seen countless crazy people with cruel temperaments, including themselves. However, no matter how self-righteous people are, they will die in the hands of Professor Yang. After this experience, they were all so devastated that they no longer dared to be arrogant.

So how have they ever seen a person remain so calm after a night of torture? Could it be that Professor Yang was sick and didn't come to work yesterday?

Just kidding, everyone knows this is impossible, because the sequelae of muscle twitching are obviously the reaction after torture, and it is the most cruel kind! So, what's going on with this guy? Why does it seem like nothing happened? What's the expression on his face? Why does he look so happy? The most important thing is, where does his cigarette 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. On the contrary, Professor Yang's face looked a little... No, those cigarettes, you may not believe it, were all given to this person by Professor Yang.

The two prison guards thought this man was too weird, so they quickly closed the cell door and left in a hurry.

As soon as the prison guards left, whispers began to ring out in the entire prison area. The prisoners who could not see this scene due to their position began to desperately ask others about what happened, and those who saw this scene also hesitated. It took me quite a while to figure out how to explain this. The sounds 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 all this was about.

at this time.

"Shut up."

A not too loud and lazy voice sounded.

For a moment, the noise that had just started suddenly quieted down, and even some people who had not heard anything subconsciously closed their mouths.

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

After this night, he had basically broken through Professor Yang's psychological defense. The specific method was to constantly lure him to torture himself more brutally, and then after the torture, Feng Qingyun calmly gave him some humiliating words. Comment, and by the way, make a bet. This seemingly simple method is extremely effective for some people with dark hearts, because the only thing that people like Professor Yang can do is torture people. He can only find some value in his existence in the screams and pleas of the prisoners. At this time, if you completely ignore his torture methods, the stimulation to him will be like that after he is panting and shaking in bed. The woman or man gave him an extremely contemptuous laugh.

This is something he cannot accept no matter what!

Therefore, just by using 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 method is indeed very useful. In order to maintain the little bit of dignity he has, Professor Yang finally found out who Prisoner No. 21 was for Ziliang.

However, the answer that surprised him was that there was no Prisoner No. 21 at all.

It turns out that Arkham Asylum underwent an expansion seven or eight years ago. After that, all the prisoners who came in were labeled with letters and numbers, just like license plate numbers, and there was no pattern between all the numbers. Randomly, for example, Ziliang’s prisoner number is [35A51].

The old-fashioned code name of prisoner "No. 21" 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 time period seven or eight years ago.

"What happened during that time?"

Ziliang crossed his legs and smoked a cigarette while thinking.

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

He muttered, his outline blurred by the swirling smoke.
