Chapter 7 Remembering Time
Li Xiu’s words and deeds are a bit strange.
As soon as he was resurrected, he bit his finger and wrote a series of numbers on the ground with blood.
The series of numbers are [39, 8, 15, 14]
Not only that.
While writing down the numbers, he kept mumbling in a low voice.
Although the voice was low, Xie Shen could barely hear it clearly with his concentration.
“50”
“51”
“52”
The man seemed to be counting.
After about three to five minutes of this, the electronic display in the room suddenly lit up and displayed the value [60%].
At this point, Li Xiu just stopped talking in a low voice.
He used blood again to add the two numbers [22, 50] to the end of the previous series of numbers.
After all this was done, a mechanical arm stretched out from the ceiling and easily restrained Li Xiu to the wall.
in the room.
Seeing that Li Xiu, who was restrained by the mechanical arm, was always staring at the numbers on the ground, Xie Shen said thoughtfully: "Are you recording these numbers?"
Li Xiu did not speak. Just still looking at the ground and concentrating.
Nearly another minute passed like this.
Perhaps he had already memorized those numbers firmly in his mind. Li Xiu said to Xie Shen as if he was relieved: "I was afraid that you would erase all those numbers, so I have been taking the time to memorize them."< br>
Xie Shen said: "The problem is that I didn't do what you said."
"Yeah."
Li Xiu continued: "This means that you should have just come to the Tower Prison. How long will it take for you to be mentally healthy?"
At the end, he added: "This can be seen from the tone and demeanor when you talk to me, as well as your attitude towards me."
Xie Shen took advantage of the situation and asked: " So what’s the use of memorizing these numbers?”
"It's a quirk!" Li Xiu said expressionlessly: "I am naturally sensitive to numbers. When I am tortured, in order to make time pass faster, I will use counting to divert my attention." < br>
Is it really just a quirk?
Xie Shen stared at the numbers on the ground for a long time and looked at what Li Xiu said. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not continue to ask further questions.
Compared to his previous inmate Deng Bin, Li Xiu is obviously much more taciturn.
Seeing that Xie Shen stopped speaking, he also remained silent.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Soon, the value on the electronic display dropped from [60%] to [50%].
According to the regulations in the 'Tower' prison:
The value on the electronic display must always remain above [50%].
This value only increases when someone is tortured.
This means that in order to complete the task, Xie Shen needs to torture Li Xiu for at least 15 hours a day.
Otherwise, Xie Shen will be punished by the "Tower" prison - being electrocuted alive by a robot.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu finally couldn't help but say: "Aren't you going to do something? If you don't torture me, those robot hands will shock you."
Xie Shen did not respond. He just stared at the series of numbers on the ground, trying to figure out the mystery.
Such an indifferent attitude only made Li Xiu feel confused.
in the room.
As Li Xiu watched, countless robotic arms pushed Xie Shen to the ground and quickly released electricity.
Although these currents are not large enough to cause death instantly, they can cause the victim to suffer a lot before death. Li Xiu originally thought that Xie Shen would scream and beg for mercy.
But what surprised him was:
Xie Shen, who was pushed to the ground by the robot hand, acted as if nothing had happened and kept an expressionless face from beginning to end.
Until he was electrocuted to death by a robot hand, Xie Shen never let out a single scream.
I didn’t even frown.
——Due to Xie Shen’s electrocution, the value on the electronic display has increased from [49%] to [70%].
At the same time.
A burst of electronic synthesized sound also sounded from the alloy room:
[The resurrected person, surname: Xie, born at 1:13 on February 23, 1999. 】
Immediately afterwards, Xie Shenyi came back to life on top of the weird geometric pattern.
The scene in front of him made Li Xiu feel a little incredible.
He looked at Xie Shen and said, "Don't you feel the pain? How did you do this?"
"Hey"
Facing Li Xiu, Xie Shen also just chuckled and did not respond.
He asked: "What is the purpose of the series of numbers you wrote before?"
This time, Li Xiu did not use 'quirks' as an excuse to excuse himself.
After thinking for a long time, he replied: "At first, I was afraid that your mental health was just an act, so I didn't dare to tell you the truth."
"But now I'm relieved, you do not have any mental problems."
"Whether it's the tone and demeanor of your words, or your ability to feel no pain, these can be proved."
< br>"So?" Xie Shen followed.
"So I plan to cooperate with you."
Li Xiu continued: "I don't know if you have guessed it: actually, I remembered those numbers before, it was me who came to the tower 'The specific time of the prison, accurate to the second. ”
"It's exactly what I thought!" Xie Shen showed a clear look on his face: "You wrote a total of 6 sets of numbers before."
Xie Shen analyzed: "If it is to record time, then these numbers It corresponds to the year, month, day, as well as hours, minutes and seconds!”
“Not bad”
Li Xiu’s eyes showed admiration.
He explained: "According to the rules I summed up: the length of each reincarnation in the 'Tower' prison is always fixed."
"In other words, this length of time will always be an integer and will only vary between 10 and 20 years."
"It can be 11 years, 12 years, 19 years or 20 years .But it is definitely not a number like 11 years and 3 months.”
“Can you understand?”
“Yes.” Xie Shenchong encouraged Li Xiu: “You continue. "
Li Xiu nodded and said: "With these conditions in place, it will be very simple to push the start time of the next reincarnation. "
"For example, the number I just wrote is [39, 8, 15, 14, 22, 50]."
"Then the corresponding time: the time when our reincarnation begins is August 15, 39 14 hours, 22 minutes and 50 seconds. "
"Assuming that there is a total interval of 15 years between this reincarnation and the next reincarnation, the time when the next reincarnation will start can be easily deduced. "
"That is, 14:22:50 on August 15, 1954."
This man is not simple.
After listening to Li Xiu's analysis, Xie Shen's eyes lit up and he said, "So what's the point of spending so much time remembering the reincarnation time?"
Li Xiu stared at Xie Shen and said word by word. : "If I said that I could escape from the 'Tower' prison in this time, would you believe it?"
!
This.
In the room.
After hearing what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen couldn't help but even breathe a little faster.
