Chapter 13: Cornered

Looking at the sky-high tower in front of him, Zhen Xiang didn't know how much food this thing could transport, but judging from the width of this building, it was at least the size of a football field, right? There will certainly be no shortage of food transported by such a huge building, after all, it can be eaten by the people of a city.

But Zhen Xiang felt as if something was wrong, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

She looked silently at the building in front of her, and then said to Valolet, "How can we get into the boxes of food then?" There's no way they can't send the box back without checking it, right? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, we can just close the box when we go in." "After all, they will only make sure that the box is closed, and they won't check if there is anything inside, and since the person in charge of moving the food out has closed the box, it means that there is nothing in the box, and their thinking won't make them think about anything else." ”

Zhen Xiang didn't know whether to be happy or helpless for the people in this dungeon.

The two of them left the place after determining the location of the night's action, wanting to go somewhere else to rest and wait for the time to pass.

"By the way, since you're a rebel...... You've done a lot of things they haven't, right? Zhen Xiang felt a little interested in this Waolet thing, so she said to Waolet: "For example, what have you done?" Secretly peeing on the street? Or go steal the sewer manhole cover? ”

"I don't know what a sewer manhole cover is, but I don't pee on the street." "I haven't really done much of a thing," replied Valolet, "and it has only been a few months since I had developed my own will, and I have been on the run for a few months...... I'm not originally from this city, I'm in the city of the 9th arrondissement. Later, I fled here to avoid pursuit, and it didn't take long for me to settle down here, just over ten days, right? ”

As soon as he heard that Valolet was actually from another city, Zhen Xiang became even more curious: "How did you come to this city from another city?" What kind of transportation do you use in this dungeon? ”

"Transportation?" Vaolet still didn't understand what Zhen Xiang was talking about, but he still replied truthfully: "In our dungeon, there is a passage between each city and the adjacent cities that is specially used to transport goods, which is prepared in case the upper base is unable to replenish food due to accidents. That's how I got here from the city next door. ”

"Can I go check it out?" Zhen Xiang felt that being idle now was idle, so he went around to take a look, anyway, it was boring.

But Valolet shook his head and said, "No, that passage is far from here, and it would take several days to walk just to walk." ”

Walk for days? But come to think of it, how big does a normal city have to be? It is basically difficult to walk a city according to the human footsteps.

"Don't have a car or anything like that?" Zhen Xiang asked Wolet Wattlet: "Do you all go by yourself?" ”

"Car?" Valolet was still the same puzzled look.

Zhen Xiang then explained in his own poor vocabulary: "It's the kind of big box that you sit in and the circle below rolls, and you can send you to your destination or something." ”

Valolet looked suddenly enlightened and said, "I understand! You mean the one you use to transport food, right? I didn't know how to call a car, because if it wasn't for the people who were in contact with that part of the work, it would not be possible to see it, so we didn't have the concept of a so-called 'car' in the education we received from childhood. ”

Educate...... When it comes to education, Zhen Xiang wants to ask how the children in the dungeon of Vaolet learn knowledge, but even if he asks, it is useless. After all, those children are nothing more than some kind of brainwashing, as if they have been thrown into a mold and printed in the same appearance as others, unable to produce their own independent thinking.

But Zhen Xiang didn't ask, but Valolet, who mentioned it himself, remembered, and he stood quietly in place as if thinking about something.

Zhen Xiang asked Valolet, "What's wrong with you?" It doesn't look like he's happy. ”

Waolet shook her head and said, "I probably ...... I guess I was a little concerned about the past...... The children in our dungeon will be taken away by the low-level administrators from birth, and then sent to a fixed location to be raised and educated...... Since I have a memory, my daily routine is to do things, speak, and live according to the requirements of the manager...... If the administrators are not satisfied at all, they will arrest us children and send them to ward 13 for correction......"

Ward 13? Zhen Xiang had heard of it, and it was the place that the screen in the sky said when he was wanted just now.

"What's that?"

was asked by Zhen Xiang like this, but Valolet covered his head and squatted down and said, "I don't want to remember, I don't want to remember...... There's only pain, there's only fear......"

It seems like a place where you can't ask...... Zhen Xiang then kept silent, she squatted with Valolet, and said: "Since you don't want to remember, you don't have to force yourself to think about those things, now that you have escaped from that place, you don't have to go back now." ”

Valolet was still covering her head, and she didn't know how long it took for Valolet to speak: "It's a terrible place...... When I was young, I didn't go to bed on time, I didn't wake up on time, I didn't eat properly, and I didn't play well...... That's why the administrator often took me to Ward 13 for correction...... And just like that, I gradually broke down, and the physical pain made it impossible for my heart to hold on...... As a child, I can only do things according to their rules, and I can only do things according to their will. And so it went on until I finally grew up, got permission, and got out of there...... I thought I didn't have to go back anymore......"

"But it turned out that I was wrong, and when I entered the city, I had my own room. I woke up a few minutes late that day, and suddenly my neighbor broke into my room, grabbed me, and took me to Ward 13......"

"I once again experienced the pain of my childhood, and I once again understood that I could not escape from there......"

"All rebels will be taken away at the slightest sign of abnormality and sent to Ward 13 for correction. In this way, after giving ** enough pain, no one dares to resist anymore, and no one dares to think about anything else...... I, perhaps, am the first and only rebel in this dungeon to escape......"

Listening to Valolet finish telling all this, Zhen Xiang sat next to Valolet and scratched his finger on the ground.

Originally, Zhen Xiang thought that this kind of use of such a tragic means to control people's behavior as in science fiction works did not exist in the real world, but he didn't expect that there would really be a ...... on this Blummiwa continent

Zhen Xiang was thinking, this world is real, right? In other words, it is a big joke that such a mysterious thing happened in this real world.

While Zhen Xiang was living leisurely on the continent below, the children on this continent were suffering what they shouldn't have endured, and their hearts were slowly dug out by the claws of the devil and installed satisfying, beautiful, and unchanging decorations.

"Is there such a thing happening in my world......" Zhen Xiang suddenly began to talk to himself: "If there is also the existence of the Blummiwa Continent in my original world, then who will save those poor children......

Zhen Xiang feels very sorry for the people in this world, but what can she do? She couldn't do anything, and she couldn't undo the brainwashing of those people...... Because it is simply the thought that has been ingrained in them, which has been tightly imprinted into their brains.

Not all of them are Vaolet, and not all of them are lucky enough to crawl out of hell.

Vaolet is lying at the gates of hell trying to breathe in the air, but if he takes the slightest wrong step, he will be immediately caught back in hell, and he will face even more terrible "corrections" than before.

"It feels like I've said something useless...... Zhen Xiang looked at Valolet, who was also staring at Zhen Xiang.

"What kind of world is your world?" "The people there," said Valolet, "are ......doing well Happy? ”

Happy? It's a word that has always been difficult for Wattlet to understand, and he doesn't know what true happiness is.

He was told since he was a child that as long as he "played" on the road, he was happy, as long as he ate, he was happy, and as long as he went to bed on time, he was happy. As long as you don't think about anything else, it's fun.

But now Valolet knows that everything was wrong before, and he wants to know what real happiness is.

"Of course I'm happy...... I work to make a living, buy what I want to eat when I earn money, and hang out with friends I know. Even people who are more homely create a small world in their own home, immerse themselves in their own world and do not need to communicate with others, but can play happily with strangers on the other side of the world through the Internet, all of which are the reality of living alone in our world, and it is the happiest thing for them. ”
