Seven, one
The 3,102 prisoners are now either playing with the newcomers or staying in the entertainment area. A small number of them are 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 had a pretty face and was very 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 arm to survive, let alone others."
"Chess is chess. I dare to give up my pieces on the chessboard... So 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 can I play with you two stinky chess baskets?" In the reading area, Li Shutong was sitting next to the long wooden table, holding a brand new reading book in his hand. I looked at the device carefully, and there were all kinds of news from this morning inside.
The huge cat lay down 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 charging in the slots.
Among the bookshelves are dozens of long tables, enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people, but they are empty at this time.
Ye Wan said in a thick voice beside him: "I am a little better than Lin Xiaoxiao."
"But it's not much better." Li Shutong looked at Ye Wan and clicked on the news on the reader with his finger: "Do you still remember the Guo Huchan captured by the Chen Group? The trial process has been completed. In the past few days, it should be He will be transferred to Prison No. 18, and you can get in touch with him then."
Ye Wan nodded: "I have dealt with him once before. Although this person is difficult to get along with, at least we can communicate."
"Well," Li Shutong nodded, then turned to look at Lin Xiaoxiao: "What do you think about the boy's collapse this morning?"
"I have been observing for a long time, and I always feel that something is wrong," Lin Xiaoxiao analyzed: "It seems 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 he was sure It looks like there’s something going on.”
"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 Organization in City No. 18 to sell mechanical prosthetics. He was suspected of illegally robbing mechanical prostheses but there was no evidence. Finally, he was sent in on the charge of tax evasion. I can find out all his past life experiences, but I really can’t find out what he mentioned about Los Angeles and Wynn Group,” Lin Xiaoxiao said.
No one saw Lin Xiaoxiao check anything, but it seemed that it only took him an hour to check the collapsed boy.
This is the most amazing place.
Li Shutong said: "Continue to pay attention, this boy must have other problems. Also, what is the situation with the guy who is playing chess with me?"
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 and continued to browse the reader.
Lin Xiaoxiao quietly looked at Li Shutong, and he suddenly realized that the boss was interested in the young man.
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 and carefully.
Qingchen first looked at Li Shutong's side, 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 by reading books about the world.
He did not expect that in this world, even paper books have been eliminated, and the remaining ones are electronic products.
However, when the reader is opened, it is not an operation interface, but a login interface.
Lin Xiaoxiao on the side 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. There are your own bookmarks, as well as set reading habits and font sizes.”
Qing Chenxin said that this thing is quite humane.
"By the way, it also has a built-in artificial intelligence voice. When you call its name, it can help you find the content you are looking for, like this," Lin Xiaoxiao also took out a reader and said: "One."
"I'm here," a pleasant female voice sounded from the reader. Qingchen remembered this voice, which was exactly the same as the voice in the prison fortress announcing that dinner was ready.
The tone is formulaic, 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 handed the reader in his hand to Qingchen. The page of the brown book had already been opened.
Qingchen glanced at the prison uniform he was wearing, numbered 010101.
After registering, Qingchen looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Where can I watch the news? It's the one in that guy'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 understood clearly, it seemed that Li Shutong's status in this prison was indeed extraordinary.
Just like the other party can keep cats in prison.
He didn't say anything more, but thanked him and then looked down at the contents of his reader.
Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Li Shutong and looked at Qingchen vaguely.
But he suddenly discovered that Qingchen's reader turned pages very quickly!
Under normal circumstances, one page of the reader is 800 words, and it takes 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 look at the reader seriously at all. Maybe he just wanted to get closer to 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. He kept writing down the contents of the reader, and then quickly turned the pages. He did this for more than three hours without even changing his sitting position.
For others, reading may be a pastime after dinner, but for him, finding books at www.zhaoshuyuan.com 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, any information is important to him now.
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.
When Li Shutong stood up, he glanced at Qingchen. 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 third line on the previous page?"
The voice was as gentle as jade, and when he spoke, it was as if he were suddenly in an antique teahouse, listening to the teachings of an elder.
"When order turns into 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 big cat on the table open its 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. Come on, it's time to start dinner."
For some reason, 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.
