Becoming stronger in the empire (2)

Shen Moyan did not resist and followed the management staff to see Shen Jing’s body.

She finally did not smirk all day long, lying there quietly, showing the traces of beatings on her body, the deepest part is the neck, which had a very conspicuous blue purple. It was strangled to death.

How could anyone be willing to treat her this way.

Shen Moyan thought he would be extremely angry when he saw his sister’s body, and would lose his mind and try his best to attack everyone around him to vent his anger, but he was far calmer than he thought.

He wants to kill that person, so he can’t act rashly now.

Even if that person is right in front of him.

Shen Moyan at this moment felt that he was particularly funny. His sister was bullied. He couldn’t kill that person on the spot. He needed to swallow his breath here. Is he still a big brother like this?

Shen Moyan knows that with his current physique, he can’t beat the opponent at all. In the end, it iwas possible that the management would only have to deal with one more body. He needed to wait patiently for the opportunity to kill that person.   

But he was not reconciled. He felt that he was too useless. He hated himself so much for the first time. He would rather be more impulsive. Now, even if he was beaten to death, he would not appear as indifferent to his sister’s death as he was now.    

He was sad, as if his heart was about to stop, but he couldn’t show it. The silent prison life had consumed too much of his exposed feelings, and at the moment he saw his sister’s body, his eyes darkened completely, like a pool of dead water.

To outsiders, he seemed indifferent to his sister’s death.    

“Okay, you have seen it, you can go back.” The management wanted to give him a push, but when he saw his dirty prison uniform after working in the mining area, he finally took his hand away and said, “Go ahead. You have to prepare for the next work.”

Shen Moyan’s gaze fell on the murderer, the other party was also wearing a prison uniform, standing there in a haughty manner, and when receiving Shen Moyan’s gaze, he provocatively smiled at him.

Remembering the other person’s face, he asked the manager “What will happen to him?”

“As usual, two bottles of nutrient solution will be deducted next month. He should also be taken away from the farm area.”

It was only worth two bottles of nutrient solution, but the management did not feel that anything was wrong, “You better pray that he will not be transferred to the mining area, you are in the mining area, right? You can’t beat him.”

Shen Moyan said nothing.

He glanced at Shen Jing for the last time, and then was driven out by the impatient management staff.

He didn’t know how many times he had walked back to the cell, only this time the empty road made him feel suffocated. There was one less person in the world who he needed to care about, and it was the only person he needed to care about.

The news in the prison spread very quickly, from the mouth of one criminal to the mouth of another criminal, soon all the criminals living in the same area as Shen Moyan knew about the younger sister of the Shen family being choked to death.   

They laughed constantly as Shen Moyan walked back to his cell alone, speaking unscrupulous swear words, even if they were criminals themselves, in their opinion, the Shen family, who was immediately sentenced to death for treason, was more serious. The sin is unforgivable, they are all alive and well, but the Shen family is dead, and now there is only one Shen left, they began to discuss what kind of death young master Shen would have.

Keeping silent in a prison environment is indeed a very effective method. Shen Moyan didn´t respond to their insulting and irritating words, they couldn’t see his expression. So, they got bored more and more, and finally yelled about other topics across the wall.

The imperial prison was like this. There were no patrols in the cell area where the criminals were held. The surveillance depended on cameras. This brings the criminals freedom of speech. No matter how loud they were, no one would come to look after them.   

Until late at night.

Shen Moyan only barely fell asleep for two or three hours the previous night but did not feel sleepy. He sat on the floor of the cell against the wall, looked at the opposite wall in a daze through the light from the iron windows on the wall, with this action, only he himself knew what he was thinking.

The cell area in the middle of the night is actually very quiet. Everyone needs to work the next day. No one will spend their energy on staying up and chatting. This is when everyone is asleep.

But in this area that should have been quiet, footsteps sounded.

It wasn´t a loud sound, but the still awake Shen Moyan heard it, and it wasn’t until the footsteps stopped at the door of his cell that Shen Moyan looked in the direction of the iron gate.

There was a small window on the iron door of the cell, only for the person to reveal a pair of eyes. At this time, the small window was opened, but Shen Moyan did not see the person from the window. He only saw the person throwing something along the small window.

A key card and a note.

Shen Moyan quickly stood up. He had been numb after sitting for so long. He stood up suddenly and fell to the ground. He fell heavily, but he didn’t feel any pain.

He picked up the key card and opened the note.

 Only one sentence was written on the note.

[The monitoring and sensing will fail at two o’clock tomorrow morning.]

The note also contained a bottle of high-quality nutrient solution.

At this time, there were still people who wanted to save him.

Shen Moyan, who had always thought that he had forgotten how to laugh, laughed at this moment. He couldn’t stop laughing. Even the cursing of the person next door awakened by him could not stop him.

That person only thought that the young master Shen was completely crazy by his sister´s death.

But the next day he looked at the young master Shen, only to find that he was still the same as before, with a cold face, no matter what words he faced, he did his daily work as usual.

Shen Moyan knows that among the criminals working in the mining area, there is a very well-informed person. He needs to know the area and specific location of the cell of the person who killed his sister. The best way is to ask him.    

The man is not suitable for physical work. He just started to work for less than an hour before stopped wprking. He leaned to the side to rest. He seemed surprised when he saw Shen Moyan talking to him. He heard his needs. After that, he lazily asked, “I can find out where he lives, but why should I help you? Your name is Shen, who dares to help you?”    

“Of course, I will pay you.” Shen Moyan didn’t get angry after hearing it, words of this kind didn’t make him angry at all. He said, and took out the bottle of nutrient solution that was wrapped in paper and thrown into his cell that night.   

The high-quality nutrient solution is completely different from the inferior nutrient solution that criminals drink. A good high-quality nutrient solution can supplement the nutritional needs of at least one month, and this month will gradually help the user to recuperate the body, which is said to be a tonic.

Shen Moyan handed the bottle of nutrient solution directly to the opponent’s hand. Since he chose to expose the existence of this bottle of nutrient solution, then this bottle of nutrient solution must not be left in his hand.    

If the other person is a slightly credible person, then he will tell him what he wants to know by taking his nutrient solution, and if he is a despicable person, then he will not trust other people.

The man’s gaze never moved away from the nutrient solution from the moment he took it out. When the bottle of nutrient solution reached his hand, he instantly covered it with his sleeve. After he was finished, he didn’t forget to look up and see if anyone found this place.    

“Okay, I’ll give you the news tomorrow.” Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the man heaved a sigh of relief and agreed.    

“I need to get the result today.” Taking that person’s social circle in prison, he only needs to go around the mining area to ask casually, and he will soon get the answer, “If you can tell me today, I’ll give you another bottle tomorrow.”

The man was very surprised when he heard that, “You still have?”

“You said it, my last name is Shen.”

“Oh ……” Everyone knew he was surnamed Shen, after listening to his words he seemed to understand something, did not ask more, he just nodded his head “You wait.”

As expected, he asked the exact location of the man’s cell before the end of the working hours.

Shen Moyan´s attitude seemed to make him mistakenly believe that he had more high-quality nutrient solutions, even if the other party concealed it better. Shen Moyan was surrounded by malicious sight a lot and can clearly feel that the man wants more from him.

“Remember to bring the bottle you said tomorrow.” The man waved to him, and then followed the crowd to leave the mining area.

As long as others are still in the imperial prison, he is not afraid that he will fall behind. no one can escape from the imperial prison.

Shen Moyan also returned to his cell.

If he hadn’t had to act tonight, he wouldn’t use this risky method, but now he didn’t even think about how that person and his accomplices would plan to take away those high-quality nutrient solutions that did not exist from him. As time got closer and closer to the night, his heartbeat accelerated more and more.

Each imperial citizen’s wrist is inlaid with a miniature terminal representing citizenship (TN: like a chip inserted in the skin). In addition to identity recognition, this terminal is more often used for communication and to know the time.

The communication function of the terminal in Shen Moyan’s hand has been disabled, but he can still use it to confirm the specific time.

At two o’clock in the morning, Shen Moyan opened the prison door.

Sure enough, as it was written on the note, he opened the prison door and did not trigger any alarm. The monitor was still lit and seemed to be operating normally, but even if he was standing in front of the monitor, no one pressed the alarm in front of the monitor.

He realized that someone really planned to rescue him, and that that person had a higher identity than he thought. This idea flashed through Shen Moyan’s mind, and no more waves appeared.

Shen Moyan walked in the opposite direction from the escape route from the prison. He walked deeper into the cell area. Every cell in the imperial prison was closed. The steel walls and solid iron doors sealed off the entire cell. So even if he just walked through the cells like this, no one would know that it was him who walked past.

The person who came to give him the key card that day also walked upright to his cell door. No prisoner who was awakened by footsteps dared to speak out without knowing the identity of the outsider, so it was also possible for Shen Moyan.

Finally, Shen Moyan stood in front of a cell and opened the small window.

The man in the cell was laying on his back on the iron bed and snored. His blanket was put on the bed. There was nothing else covering him, Shen Moyan easily recognized this man as the one who killed his sister.

He used the key card to open the iron door of this cell. His movements were extremely gentle. The Imperial Prison did a good job in terms of hardware. The iron door was pushed open almost without any sound.

Shen Moyan walked in, closed the iron door again, took out the key card and locked the iron door from the inside.

The door locks of all cells have the same set of supervision system. There is no doubt that since this card can open his cell door, it can open all cell doors in this area.

This was Shen Moyan’s first thought when he saw this key card that night, and then he saw the note that said, “Monitoring and sensing will fail at two o’clock in the morning.”

He didn’t thought about escaping from prison and looking for evidence to clear the grievances of his family.

What he thought was that he could kill this person.

Then he got this person’s cell location as he wished, for only a bottle of nutrient solution that was meaningless to him.

Perhaps it was because he had been awake and in a dark environment until two o’clock in the morning, so now he could see very clearly even with a little moonlight.

He walked to the bed and picked up the shackles attached to the iron bed.

The imperial cell is actually a small interrogation room in disguise. Every iron bed inside is connected with shackles that can fix the prisoner’s limbs. Shen Moyan was locked in that iron bed for three days when he first arrived in this prison. Just because he insisted that the Shen family was innocent.

There was a slight noise when the chains collided, and the man wrinkled his nose, as if he wanted to turn over. He suddenly noticed something wrong as soon as he moved. When he suddenly wanted to jump out of the bed, his neck was silenced long ago. The heaviest shackles were firmly fastened.

“Fuck!” The man reacted. He stretched out his hand and wanted to punch him, but his neck was restrained and his arm was unable to swing, so he grabbed it halfway.

His hand grabbed Shen Moyan’s collar. Shen Moyan’s age was still young, and his physique is naturally not as good as an adult man. He almost lost his balance by pulling his whole person. He tightly grabbed the man’s arm and held it. Balanced, he caught a shackle on the man’s other hand unpreparedly.

The shackles linked to the iron bed were very short, and the man can’t even sit up from the bed after being tied around his neck. Now his left hand is also locked, and it was easy to buckle the right hand and two legs again.    

“What the hell do you want to do!?” After almost losing all his ability to act, the man suddenly realized that it was unreasonable for Shen Moyan to appear in his cell, “How did you get in?! What about the prison surveillance? Why didn’t they grab you!?”    

Shen Moyan didn’t intend to answer his question at all. When he saw his face, his whole person had lost his mind, not to mention that he was now handcuffed by him, he had no ability to move.    

He slammed a punch in the man’s face, no matter how bad his physical fitness was, none of the criminals who had worked in the mining area were truly powerless. After this punch, the man suddenly saw blood, the hand holding Shen Moyan´s collar couldn’t help but let go.    

The man realized that Shen Moyan was not good. At this moment, his situation made him have no time to curse at the young man in front of him. He hurriedly shouted outside with his throat, “Damn! The surname Shen has escaped from prison! Here comes– “

He didn’t shout the rest of the words at all, because the fierce young man slammed his hand into his mouth at the moment he opened it. The man didn’t expect this behavior at all, and he subconsciously wanted to punch him. But now his hands and feet are buckled and he couldn’t move.

He hadn’t even figured out what the boy was going to do, he just felt a sudden pain, his tongue was torn out and cut off in half.

Shen Moyan had blood on his hands, and he stared at the man who was cuffed on the iron bed and wailed in pain and wanted to curse but couldn’t say a whole word. Seeing him so painful and helpless, he felt that it was still not enough.

“Don’t disturb other people,” said Shen Moyan.

He wiped his hands with the man’s blanket, revealing the metal iron pieces he was holding in his hands. This kind of iron pieces, which are only two fingers wide, can be seen everywhere in the mining area. Stones on the ground will hurt when hitting people, and the iron pieces will be scratched. No one thinks they can really have any lethality.

But that’s because no one would use it like him.

“Which hand did you use to hit her?” He asked, and the replied “I forgot that you can’t speak.”

The hatred on the man’s expression from the beginning gradually became frightened. Even if the pain in his mouth made him want to faint, he still desperately wanted to rely on his throat to survive. Create a movement, just want someone from the prison management to find him from the surveillance.

He really wanted him to die! But will he give him a clean way to die? of course not! Didn’t you see that he only had the piece of iron in his hand?!

Thinking of what Shen Moyan wanted to do, the man’s goose bumps suddenly stood up. He had never feared a teenager who was younger than him. The man thought this man was crazy! Only a madman would do this!

All the elders of the Shen family died. It can be said that Shen Jing was the only pillar of Shen Moyan. Now that the pillar has collapsed, Shen Moyan has become more like a lunatic than anyone else.

The soundproofing of the cell was not good. The painful wailing quickly awakened the people in the nearby cells. They thought it was another criminal who was interrogated by the upper class. Although it was a bit rare at this time, it was nothing strange.

People with poor sleep quality hoped that the interrogation would end sooner, so that their ears can be quiet, but they didn’t expect that the prisoner being interrogated this time will be very firm. After an hour, they didn’t hear the man yelling ‘I say everything!’

They heard the person’s voice getting weaker and weaker. In the end, it seemed that he was almost out of breath, and it sounded horribly, and there seemed to be a layer of chill in the cell that was thought to be cold enough.

Anyway, the sound seemed to be almost gone, and everyone decided to close their eyes and go to sleep.

Weren´t there afew people dead in this prison? No one takes it seriously.

“System?”

Shen Moyan stood in the cell, tentatively speaking softly to the room where there was no second living person except him.

[Are you ready to leave?]

Just like the sound that suddenly appeared in his ears that day, the existence of this self-proclaimed system was silent and invisible to the naked eye, and he was not even sure if what he heard that day was an illusion caused by his sadness.

[Happy to serve you]
