Chapter 167 Released from Prison
But Jack then thought about it, if he had been himself before time travel, his performance might not be any better than him.
It is said that people's thinking and personality will be fixed in middle age. Now it seems that after experiencing countless setbacks, they finally realized that they are not the protagonist of this world, and they have no choice but to accept their fate.
No wonder so many people in the past life like to read rebirth novels, putting themselves into the role of the reborn protagonist, killing everyone, doing whatever they want, hugging each other, every day
Think about when you first came here When I arrived in this world, I could be said to be extremely cautious. When bullied by gangsters, I could only resist the urge to fight back. As my strength gradually increased, my interactions with the protagonists in this world deepened, and my personality began to show off. .
At least in the previous life, I couldn't do anything like going to the toilet to compete with others
Could this be the legendary old man's teenage madness?
A song with a tingling electric sound sounded in the room, waking up Jack who was immersed in his own thoughts. When he looked up, Paul was playing with an old-fashioned radio on the wall.
Seeing Rachel lying on the bed and Jack looking down at him, Paul subconsciously shrank back and explained weakly.
“I just wanted to try to hear a Beatles song. Their songs can bring me comfort. When I had a cold in the past, my mother would always sing to me the Beatles’ " Rocky Raccoon"
Jack smiled and sat next to him, put a hand on his shoulder, and comforted, "You should try to sleep for a while. You look very bad. I know you were so scared last night that you didn't sleep all night."< br>
He has also heard the song "Loki Raccoon", which tells an absurd western story. The foul-mouthed Rocket Raccoon in Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a tribute to this song.
"That's because I saw you beat out one man's bones, and he also gouged out another man's eyes." Paul still looked frightened.
Rachel stood up from the bed nonchalantly, "They were the ones who started it."
"As soon as I go out, they might kill me." Paul continued to talk about being raped before. interrupted the topic, but was immediately interrupted by the guard's knock on the door.
Rachel walked to the door and took three dinner plates from the small window under the door. There wasn't much in them, just a sandwich and a little beans as a side dish.
Passing the plates to Jack and Paul respectively, Reacher devoured them with big mouthfuls. Jack ate not too slowly. He didn't eat anything last night, and with the warm-up exercise just now, he had already eaten. So hungry.
Paul had no appetite and indicated that he could give up his share to them.
Reacher unceremoniously cut his sandwich in half and handed half of it to Jack.
"Are you important to them?" Reacher asked while eating. He seemed to finally be interested in this matter.
Paul hesitated and nodded solemnly, "Very important."
"Then you will be fine, but now someone is dead, which means those people are starting to get nervous. Once the situation continues to deteriorate, That’s when the real disaster is imminent.”
Feeling that there was something wrong with Reacher’s reasoning, Jack, who was sitting with Paul, shook his head.
"No, he is already in trouble. Those people are not here for you or me. The person they want to kill is Paul."
Seeing that both of them looked at him in surprise, Jack continued to explain.
"The instructions they received should be to deal with people wearing glasses. Originally, only Paul wore glasses, but then you snatched a pair of punk sunglasses, so they were a little confused in the shower room just now."
"The fat pig at the beginning might just be preparing to give him a warning, but for some reason, the people behind him were instructed to kill Paul. Probably because of what happened outside. Change, I guess, you will probably be out soon."
Feeling that what Jack said makes sense, Reacher nodded, "I don't care about this, I will leave here when I get out of prison, Ma. There are undercurrents and dangers in Grave, and I don't want to be implicated. "Jack said in his heart that this is not up to you. Your only relative in this world is in my hands. I will ask you to come to me to repay your kindness later.
Seeing that Paul was still silent and timid, Jack did not think about what he said anymore. After all, they had only known each other for less than a day, so he expected him to tell everything to him right away. It was unrealistic for the two of them to ask for help.
Fortunately, just as he had guessed, prison guards came less than an hour after lunch, and all three were acquitted.
Although he only stayed in prison for less than a day, when Jack stood outside the high wall and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, he still felt relaxed from the inside out.
Even though he entered the prison on his own initiative, the feeling of being deprived of his freedom was still not wonderful. He never wanted to experience this depressing atmosphere again.
“My wife is here to pick me up.” Paul pointed to a luxury car with a Jaguar logo not far away.
"Thank you for protecting me inside. I urgently need to deal with some things now. If it is convenient, I would like to treat you to a meal later."
After saying that, he looked at the two of them expectantly.
Reacher looked indifferent, "Don't look at me, I never use a cell phone."
Jack reported a series of numbers. This was the prepaid cell phone he threw to Finlay. number.
Watching Paul get in the car and leave, Jack turned to Reacher and asked, "Do you have any plans?"
Reacher touched the stubble on his chin, "Find a place to tidy up. , a bastard said that I was too sloppy, and then I would rest in the town for one night and find a car to leave here tomorrow.”
"Then let's come together. I have a car. You can give me a ride tomorrow."
Rachel was noncommittal. The two of them were planning to find a means of transportation back to the town when a police car slowly drove over and stopped at the In front of the two of them.
“I think a person with no money, no identity, and no car should need a lift.”
A delicate little face poked out from the open car window. The female police officer named Rosko also had a plastic file bag containing the money and belongings that were confiscated when Reacher entered the police station.
"This is a video from two days ago, sent by the long-distance bus company." Rosko took out his mobile phone and showed Reacher the video above.
"Since you have a sufficient alibi, you are acquitted."
Seeing Reacher's gaze turned to Jack, Rosko rolled her eyes, "This guy's wanted warrant was Withdrawn, saying that the plaintiff could not bear the pain of the little baby in prison, so she withdrew the lawsuit."
As she said this, she made a vomiting expression to show her disdain for a certain scumbag.
Jack was almost so angry that he smoked, and he had to continue to put on a playful expression on his face. He really had nothing to do with Justin’s eldest sister, and he had to coax him back. After all, he would use it later There's still more to come when it comes to this computer expert.
