Chapter 106 Narrating the Cage (3)
Li Sheng pressed his knuckles and reset his thumb, then picked up the handcuffs and tried to put them into the backpack rail.
[Cannot be picked up]
A system prompt popped up in front of him, informing him that the property rights of this item did not belong to him alone.
"Okay, that makes sense." Li Sheng threw the handcuffs on the bed and looked down at the shackles. The principle is similar to handcuffs, but because the gap is smaller, there is no way to break free by dislocating the bones. Unless you use a knife to cut off the base of your foot, then apply anti-wound gel to the wound.
"The cell door is made of alloy like the handcuffs and cannot be destroyed. The door lock cylinder is an 8-track C-level lock cylinder, which takes at least two or three hours to pry.
Considering that the system is set up to allow a single person to escape The mission goal of the cell means that if the inmate in the next cell refuses to help, the cell should have everything I need to escape."
Li Sheng rubbed his palms and explored the room inch by inch. .
The cell was not large, and there were only a few furnishings. He first picked up the pillow. Its texture was brand new. No hair, dandruff, or the smell of scalp oil was found on the surface. The same goes for sheets and mattresses.
It's quite clean.
We must know that in France, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries in the real world, bed bug infestation has become a serious public health problem. Bed bugs (bed bugs) are everywhere in theaters, hospitals, subways, apartments and other places, among which nursing homes and prisons are the most serious. There are often news stories of old men and women with limited mobility and prison inmates being bitten to death by bed bugs in their mattresses.
"Considering that the inmate in the next cell said that there are no prison guards here. At the same time, there was a resident in this single cell before me. The question is, how can the pillows and quilts be kept so clean? "
Li Sheng tore open the pillow and checked the cotton inside, while thinking, "Hypothesis 1, the prisoner has regular activity time and can go out to relax. At this time, the prison will send someone to replace daily necessities.
Hypothesis 2: Prisoners need to do their own daily labor, such as cleaning quilts and clothes. This is quite common in some prisons."
Li Sheng muttered and suddenly noticed something. Things, "Huh? Why is this mattress so far forward?"
The size of the mattress is ten centimeters shorter than the bed, and it is squeezed into the corner of the bed. If a man of standard height like Li Sheng lies on it, his heels will fall outside the mattress, which will definitely make it uncomfortable to lie down.
"Could it be that..."
He squinted his eyes, moved the pillow away, squeezed his body to the corner of the bed, and sure enough he discovered something unusual.
Just below the bedside railing, facing the head, there are a large number of fine scratches.
Li Sheng stretched out his fingers and carefully touched the scratches, and found that they were very regular, as if some unknown text had been repeated many times.
[I am Isaac Lord][I am Isaac Lord][I am Isaac Lord]
The system translation function is online, translating unknown text to Li Sheng.
"Uh..."
Li Sheng blinked. There were subtle differences in the depth of these carvings and the curvature of the handwriting. It was obvious that they were carved regularly over a long period of time.
"It is estimated that it is a certain prisoner in this single cell, maybe the previous one. Because of the psychological shadow caused by being detained for a long time, I have to use this method to remind myself of my identity. To avoid mental disorder .”
Of course, it's also possible that it's just a matter of idleness.
Just like when someone is about to graduate, they will carve "ABC I love you!" on their dormitory bed. "Come on, juniors, seniors are waiting for you in college." "Young Bin's high school grades are not ideal." Same.
“On the Mohs hardness scale, the hardness of human nails is about 2-3, slightly higher than talc and plaster, lower than 4.5 for steel and 6 for glass. Unless this Isaac Lord actually It's some kind of alien with super-hard nails. He must use some kind of tool to carve words. "What could it be...
Li Sheng brought himself to that person. The inmate groped around with his hands for a while, "Found it!"
He turned over and took out a thin needle from the outside of the metal bed leg.
"It's so insidious."
Li Sheng rolled his eyes. The needle was located exactly in the corner of the room, using magnetism to attach to the metal bed leg. If you are not careful and use violent methods to dismantle the bed, you may knock off the thin needles and cause them to fall into a corner where the light cannot reach. If you find it, it will be a long way off.
He took out the thin needle and looked at it carefully. The tip was almost flat, and a thin brown thread hung from the tail, which seemed to have the function of sewing clothes.
"The brown thread..."
Li Sheng looked around the room. The prison uniform he was wearing was blue and white, the sheets were black and white, and the only thing brown was...the sheets and the mattress.
I took the mattress off the bed and rummaged through it, and sure enough I found secondary stitching marks on the inside.
Tear and pull.
He pulled open the sutures to reveal the coconut palm inside the mattress. And buried on the side of the coconut palm is a large hard-cover book.
“bingo.”
Li Sheng whistled, took out the book, brushed off the coconut palm debris on it, and put it under the light to examine it.
Then he couldn't hold himself any longer.
The book is hardcover and has a complicated and gorgeous black and gold two-color pattern on the surface. In the middle is a portrait of a saint with a blurred face. He was wearing a robe, with his hands spread out, his head slightly lowered, and his eyes looking down at all living beings lovingly.
The book is called "Chai Jing". It looks like a serious religious-themed scripture, but the book girdle underneath is particularly informal.
[Ten years of revision, billions of sales, one of the best-selling religious books in the universe, giving readers amazing wisdom! 】
【A treasure book for governing the country, managing the family, cultivating oneself, and studying. Understand the wisdom of the sages in popular interpretations, and practice the words of the saints in daily applications]
[This book is dedicated to all carbon-based organisms/silicon-based organisms/sulfur-based organisms/boron-based organisms that are in confusion Basic organisms/atmospheric life/planetary will/spiritual body/conceptual body/structured organism, may you have fire in your heart and light in your eyes]
The background of the waistband is a vast number of portraits of readers. They look like There are all kinds of strange things, all of which are obviously alien beings. Each one holds a book, has a twisted and sickly smile, and his eyes emit a ray of light comparable to Spaceium rays.
There is light in my eyes in a literal sense.
“What’s going on? Is this book some kind of MLM brainwashing Bible from the era of the big universe? I always feel like something bad will happen when I open it”
The corners of Li Sheng's eyes twitched wildly. There was a three-digit digital lock on the side of the book, and the back was stained with some kind of tar-like black viscous substance.
This substance is extremely difficult to remove, and there is some kind of writing underneath it. Like the password for a digital lock.
Li Sheng tried to turn the digital lock and entered 000. As expected, it failed, and there was some not-so-subtle clicking sound in the lock cylinder. There is a way that if you don’t enter the correct password within a certain number of times, you will lose it. An ominous premonition of self-destruction.
