When the person in charge of recording left, Chu Shici could no longer hold back his curiosity.

He poked the male lead's calf with a plug, "Brother Zhe, why do you order the c set meal every day? Is there anything special about that set meal?"

Shen Xiuzhe said coldly, "There are cards in the package c."

"?"

"There's a box under my bed, you can go and see for yourself."

Chu Shici quickly ran under the bed, and sure enough, he found an inconspicuous small black iron box near the bed.

The tin box is the size of a palm, somewhat like an old-fashioned candy box.

The lid is engraved with four cartoon animal silhouettes.

They are chicken, dog, monkey and mouse.

The small speaker couldn't open the box, so Chu Shici clung to the iron box and ran back to the hero.

Brother Zhe ignored him, so he shook the iron box back and forth, making it rattle.

Shen Xiuzhe was annoyed, and reached out to open the box.

There are two cards in the iron box, the shape and size of which are similar to playing cards, and the lively and lovely cartoon puppies are printed on the cards.

Chu Shici tilted his head and looked at it for a while, but he didn't see any tricks.

"What's the use of collecting this?"

Shen Xiuzhe rubbed the card back and forth with his fingertips, "Collect all the four animals on the cover, and you can make a request to them. Any request, including leaving."

"?Who told you that?"

"Those who imprisoned me, after everyone came in, they would get an iron box for cards."

Chu Shici understood in seconds.

Before the vitality value was negative, Brother Zhe ordered the c set meal, probably because he wanted to see what tricks they were playing.

Now the vitality value is too low, Shen Xiuzhe wants to commit suicide.Conditions do not permit, he wants to die, he can only exchange the chance of suicide by collecting cards.

In his impression, Brother Zhe values ​​reality more, and he doesn't have a fluke mentality.It is impossible for Shen Xiuzhe to believe that he can escape by collecting all the cards.

But other people don't necessarily think so, and the c package will always be in short supply.

Chu Shici quickly realized a problem.

He hissed, "It's not fair. The number of c-set meals provided daily is fixed, and the room number is also fixed. If you order according to the order of the room every day, the people behind in line will never be able to order c-set meals."

After speaking, he was stunned again.

That's not right, there are two cards in Brother Zhe's box, which means he clicked twice.

Shen Xiuzhe fiddled with the card, and said coldly, "As long as there is an empty room in front, the people behind can click on it."

"If the room is empty, does it mean that the people inside are dead?"

"do not know."

Seeing that the male lead couldn't ask anything, Chu Shici stared at the card to study again.

The puppy pattern has no obvious characteristics, coupled with the overly anthropomorphic cartoon, it is impossible to tell what breed it is.

He is so confused now.

Why did the people who imprisoned them come up with such a collection game, do they want to add some fun to the boring life?

Remembering that the fat man in charge mentioned 'abc three sets', Chu Shici continued to ask, "Don't you order b set?"

"There is no b package."

"But the fat Liu brother said..."

"I ordered it, set b is an empty lunch box."

Chu Shici's head was full of small question marks, he was stunned for a while, and then let out a huff.

Shen Xiuzhe put the card back into the box, "The three sets of abc and c are all fixed in quantity. After ordering c, you can only order a if you want to eat. After ordering a, people after that can only choose b."

Chu Shici looked at him in surprise, "You mean that some of them will be hungry every day, and they may not be able to eat for a few days? Wouldn't they starve to death?"

"No, there will be more empty rooms in front every few days, and they will be able to eat then."

"When will the room be vacant? What is the rule for them to select people, and will they take you away someday?"

Shen Xiuzhe shook his head, it could be seen that he had been locked in the room, but he didn't know.

Actually, Chu Shici has a problem.

According to Brother Zhe's mind, it is impossible not to think of going on a hunger strike and waiting to die.He ordered set meal b every day, and he would starve himself to death in a short time.

The Vitality column in the background read '-31' brightly. Shen Xiuzhe really wanted to die.

Then why he insisted on choosing a, Chu Shici didn't understand.

But the man opposite was his lover, and he felt distressed when he thought about this kind of thing, and he couldn't ask it at all.

As if guessing his doubts, Shen Xiuzhe handed him the box, "I have tried a hunger strike, and they will take corresponding measures if I don't eat for more than three days. Take it and put it back."

Shen Xiuzhe's skin was already fair, but against the backdrop of the black iron box, his fingers looked even paler.It looks beautiful, but also morbid.

Chu Shici looked at the iron box and at the collar around Brother Zhe's neck. He felt that this place was full of weirdness, which was abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

He put the box back in place and pulled the system out to confer.

'Brother Tong, what do you think is going on. '

【Ha... haha... I think I'm just a fool. 】

'Don't make trouble, let's talk about business. '

[It's useless to ask me, I've used my brain too much, and now my computer is dead. 】

Chu Shici: ...

Coincidentally, he didn't think of anything.

…………

Shen Xiuzhe's life is very regular.

Get up and draw, order c set meal.Knowing that the c package is gone, continue to click a.

Three meals a day, this ordering process is repeated every day.

The person responsible for recording the package should work in shifts.[-] is a middle-aged man with a thick accent, and [-] is a young man with a hoarse voice.

What they say is different every time, but the meaning is basically the same.

During this time, Chu Shici has been exchanging feelings with Brother Zhe.

Listen to songs, play cross talk, tell jokes, stick to him every day, and stick close to him.Let him know that he is no longer alone, and the little speaker will always be with him.

After a few days, the vitality value rose from -31 to -25.

Although it is still a negative number, it has risen by 6 points, indicating that this method is feasible in the short term.

It was past eleven o'clock on Saturday night, and the harsh bell rang outside again.

This time, no one came to them with a wheelie cot to arrest people, but at noon the next day, Shen Xiuzhe successfully ordered the c set meal.

Only when the front room is vacant, the people behind will have the opportunity to order the c set meal.

It seems that there were people in the front room last night who were taken away by those people.

I don't know how many were taken away.

The person who delivered the meal pushed a small dining cart, which was full of lunch boxes.

He put one of the lunch boxes in front of Shen Xiuzhe, turned around and was about to leave, when he saw a blurry white shadow on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

He stopped in doubt, and bent down to see clearly.

Shen Xiuzhe, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly turned his head and said coldly: "What are you still doing here?"

The man chuckled mockingly, "The great painter is quite hypocritical, what are you hiding behind our backs?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched it, and pulled out a small white speaker from it.

The speaker was dusty and dented at one corner.

The man plugged in the power and pressed the switch vigorously, but the speaker did not respond at all.

Finding out it's a waste, the man loses interest.He casually threw the small speaker on the ground, and pushed the small dining cart out of the room.

The door closed again, and Chu Shici lay on the ground, silently letting out a sigh of relief.

He was about to say something, but Shen Xiuzhe turned his back to the door and made a shush gesture.

Chu Shici subconsciously looked towards the door.

The small window on the iron gate was opened by someone at some unknown time.

The man who had just left was quietly watching the room through the window.

The room is very quiet, the man's sight is like a poisonous snake, wandering between the painter and the small speaker.

He watched for a full 2 ​​minutes before slowly closing the small window.

This time Chu Shici was smarter.

He held his breath and listened carefully to the movement outside.

There was no sound of footsteps or wheels rolling, and the man hadn't left yet, and he was lying on the door to eavesdrop.

The corridor was quiet for a few seconds, and the man finally put away his suspicions.

He walked next door to them, opened the door and went in to deliver the food.

When the middle-aged man was ordering food, Chu Shici heard him call the person next door 'Mr. Wang. '

The sound insulation of the room is very good, and the neighbors did not shout.Chu Shici couldn't hear Mr. Wang's voice, he could only hear the middle-aged man's shout.

What he shouted was, 'Room 10 plus a package c!Scrambled eggs with tomatoes were replaced with scrambled eggs with zucchini. '

But Chu Shici remembered that Shen Xiuzhe lived in room 3, why is room 10 next door.

After the man delivered the food on this floor, he took the elevator and left.

Chu Shici was still thinking about the room number when he was suddenly picked up by a pair of cold hands.

He was held in Shen Xiuzhe's arms, and he wiped it repeatedly with a wet tissue.

Chu Shici shook the charging cable and tried to call out, "Brother Zhe?"

"Is something wrong?"

"What are you rubbing me for?"

Shen Xiuzhe pursed his thin lips, "He touched you, their hands are dirty."

Chu Shici discovered very early on that Brother Zhe is a bit of a cleanliness freak, but the cleanliness is very special.

He can tolerate dirty conditions, eating spoiled food, and drinking water with flotsam.

But he can't stand disgusting people.

Every time he had close contact with those people, he had to take a shower and clean up everything they touched.

Every world is like this, this is the attribute of his brother Zhe's soul.

When Shen Xiuzhe put down his hand, the small speaker had already been polished to a shiny finish by him.

He put the small speaker on the table, wiped his hands and opened today's lunch box.

One layer of cumin sausage slices, two layers of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, three layers of hot and sour potato shreds.There is also a piece of rice that he asked Brother Liu, the fat steward, to add to him.

Chu Shici was thinking about one thing.

Brother Zhe's meals are specially arranged, but the style of the dishes is the same as the set meal.His lunch box is placed in a fixed area of ​​the dining car, not randomly distributed to him.

Will those people take the opportunity to replace the cards in the c package, so that he will never be able to collect all four small animals.

Chu Shici asked out his doubts. The hero was very cold and ignored him with a cold face.

After all the food was taken out, Shen Xiuzhe reached out and groped inside the lunch box for a while, and took out a card.

He handed the card to the small speaker, "What's on it."

Chu Shici looked at it, "It's a cartoon monkey."

"Except for monkeys."

"Nothing else, just a blank card plus a small animal, the same as the previous puppy card."

Shen Xiuzhe nodded slightly.

Chu Shici thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Brother Zhe, why did you ask me? Is there no way for you to know what pattern is on the card?"

Shen Xiuzhe hummed lightly.

"Then this collection game is unfair to you. You are the only one in the room, and you can't see it. The pattern is printed on it, and you can't touch it. You don't know what card you got. Even if you ask others, they don't know." Will definitely tell the truth."

"So those people don't need to give you repeated cards on purpose. Even if you really collect all of them, they can tell lies with their eyes open. I won't lie to you, but if you tell them firmly, you With four critters, they must know you have people in the house."

Chu Shici raised the plug, lovingly touched the finger in front of him, "Brother Zhe, they are bugging you. The collection card matter was originally led by them, and we will not admit it if we want to. Let's find other ways to escape. Go out, don't worry about the c package anymore."

He knew that Zhe Gejika didn't want to escape, he wanted to commit suicide.But when it was mentioned that Lao Gong was about to commit suicide, his heart ached.

Shen Xiuzhe was obviously taken aback, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head without saying a word.

At the same time, a new message prompt popped up in the background of the system.

[The vitality value is reduced by 3 points, and the current vitality value is -28/100. 】

Chu Shici: ...

Fuck, the timing of his speech was wrong, he said it too early!

Chu Shici leaned over and saw tears sliding down Shen Xiuzhe's pale and handsome cheeks, dripping silently onto the table.

When Brother Zhe was crying, he had no obvious expression and didn't make a sound.If it weren't for the tear stains on his face, no one would have seen that he had cried.

The male protagonist's mental state was unstable, he didn't tense up for a while, and was forced to cry in anger.

Chu Shici entangled his fingertips with the charging cable, "Those people can do such things as illegal imprisonment, how can they keep their promises. Collecting cards to exchange for any reward is a empty promise for everyone. Zhe Brother, we don’t collect cards anymore.”

Shen Xiuzhe didn't say a word, he fell on the table.It was as if he hadn't shed tears and was just taking a nap.

Chu Shici was so distressed that he almost cried.

He suppressed tears, took a deep breath and comforted softly, "It's okay, Brother Zhe, don't be afraid. You can fight, and your mind is good. If we persist, we will be able to escape."

Shen Xiuzhe hugged him into his arms, his cheek pressed against the small speaker.

The room fell into deathly silence. After a long time, Chu Shici heard a slightly choked voice coming from his ear.

"Stay with me."

The thin white thread gently rubbed against his hair, and Chu Shici said seriously, "I will, Brother Zhe, I will always be with you."

In the next second, Chu Shici heard the system beep.

[Add 4 points to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is -24/100. 】

…………

Crying while holding the small speaker, the negative emotions that have been suppressed in my heart for a long time also dissipated a lot.

After venting, Shen Xiuzhe regained his former composure.

He may have realized that the road of collecting cards will not work, but he is just deluding himself and unwilling to admit it.

The c set meal not only has cards, but also the dishes are much better than the a set meal.

The three dishes all go well with the meal, and Shen Xiuzhe ate a lot today.

The small speaker is plugged in next to it and charges itself.

Shen Xiuzhe was halfway through eating when he suddenly heard a strange sizzle.

He tilted his head slightly, "What's ringing?"

Chu Shici checked for a while, "It's nothing, I'm the one ringing."

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I got into the water, and it will be fine after drying."

"..."

Shen Xiuzhe, who had an exceptionally keen hearing, seemed not to have heard his words, and continued to eat quietly with his head down.

Today he was in a bad mood, Shen Xiuzhe didn't want to draw pictures for those trash, so he gave himself an afternoon off.

He took out a piece of paper and colored and drew pictures on the table based on his feeling.

Chu Shici lay on the table and watched.

Looking at the painted pink paper and the gaudy patterns on it, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Shen Xiuzhe dried the paper and wrote a square 'Shen' in the center.

He applied glue to the paper, grabbed the small stereo that was about to run, and groped to stick it to his body.

Forced to put on a new skin, Chu Shici let out a long sigh.

Brother Zhe has become a great artist, and his aesthetics have not changed at all.

Seeing that Shen Xiuzhe was about to speak, Chu Shici quickly blocked his mouth with a plug, "That's enough Brother Zhe, don't call me Xiaobai Xiaofen or Fang Fang, I'm A Ci!"

Shen Xiuzhe: ...?

Why do you say that, he knows.
