Chapter 6 Compromise
November 24, 1:00 pm.
This is the fourth day after Zilin entered the correction center. In the previous two days, he did not do anything special, but was just observing and waiting.
Waiting for some things to be confirmed...
This matter was handled by his accomplices; and his accomplices were named Zhang San, Zhang San's Zhang, and Zhang San's San.
This is a real name, but the person who uses this name has his personal information not registered in the federal citizen database.
More than two months ago, Mr. Zhang San met Professor Tang with a fake identity; Uncle Tang is also a half-public figure, and it is also a local snake in Linyi, so it is not new to be "recognized" by others, so there is nothing suspicious about "knowing" this time.
A few days later, Zhang San found an opportunity to send a red envelope to Uncle Tang, and took the opportunity to obtain the contract rights of the Sunshine Youth Behavior Correction Center canteen.
This matter is no big deal either.
The correction center is originally a one-man show of Uncle Tang. No matter what adjustment he wants to make, it is just a matter of talking. Over the past decade, almost every once in a while, he will change suppliers of equipment, clothing and other various miscellaneous items. To put it bluntly... whoever gives more kickbacks will use whoever is. As for the quality of the things he provides, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not him who uses them himself.
In short, Zhang San easily controlled the food in this center without arousing anyone's suspicion.
From that day on, he began to carry out long-term preparations for a plan... and this work, this morning, was finally completed.
…………
"You're here just right."
When the "dessert lady" suddenly appeared in the room, Zilin was lying on his bed and closed his eyes to rest.
However, he didn't have to open his eyes, and he knew who was coming.
"I warned you to let you go." The other party did not mean to greet him, and spoke in a cold tone, "I have been waiting for you for two days. Today is the third day. It seems that you don't plan to leave."
At this moment, it was lunch break, and Wang Yong ran to the dormitory, so there was only one person in the room; and "she" also saw this and chose to come at this time.
"Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow." Zilin replied, "But... you'd better leave today."
"What?" she sneered, "You still want me to leave?"
"Yes, not only do you want to leave, Xian Xiaoxiao also wants to leave." Zilin continued.
His words changed the other person's expression.
"Hmph... Sure enough, were you here for her too?" Her murderous intent was already shrouded in reality.
"No." Zilin is telling the truth, "Of course, I'm not here for you."
"Do you think I will believe this?" she said again.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Zilin said, "Your hostile attitude, or... bluffing, cannot solve any problem, and will only waste your and my time." He paused, opened his eyes, and was completely unafraid of the other party's murderous intent, and stared at him, "If you have enough wisdom or ability, you don't have to waste your time in this center, but you have already taken Xian Xiaoxiao away; if you have enough strength and determination, you don't have to slander me here, and it is the most efficient way to attack directly... Now, since you have nothing, then shut up and listen carefully to me. When I finish speaking, you think about it and then express your opinion."
Zilin's words and words pointed out the essence of the matter, which made the other party very angry, but while annoyed, there was no room for refutation. He could only suppress his anger and wait for him to continue.
"It seems that you agree, so I will start talking." Zilin looked at the other party for a few seconds and continued, "Two days ago, when I was having breakfast in the cafeteria, I locked up Xian Xiaoxiao. A person like her who could not control her abilities well was as eye-catching as the high beam in front of me... Combined with your previous "warning" to me, I immediately inferred that your "target" was her.
"No wonder her information says, "I took the initiative to ask for treatment in the center" which seems like a fabricated message; after seeing her, I realized that her motivation is reasonable - she is confused and afraid of her ability. She thought it was a disease or a curse, but she dared not tell others, so she took the mentality of being a dead horse and looked forward to the institution that could enter as long as she spent money to 'curse' herself.
"Of course, I have said that I was not for her; I don't care about her thoughts and actions, but... I feel quite comfortable after unraveling this doubt."
He paused for a few seconds and changed the subject: "I have more interest in you than Xian Xiaoxiao...
"After confirming your 'prey', it is not difficult to find you, the 'hunter'. Just look around her.
"So, at noon that day, I saw you; although you were wearing a very expensive semi-implanted fiber mask, and your figure was indeed petite, your expression, gait and some minor actions were definitely not something that a teenage girl would have...
"As a cautious and thoughtful person, I immediately sent a message to my outside companions and asked them to help me check your identity.
"Although the contact with you was short, that minute was enough to let me know a lot of things. For example, you know the so-called "rules on Tao' and... your ability should be related to "shadow". These two points alone can narrow the scope of investigation and screening to a very small extent.
"At dinner last night, my companions completed the investigation and passed on the information of several suspects with unknown abilities related to shadows and whose current whereabouts were unknown. After simple reasoning, I confirmed that you are the federally wanted second-level abilities criminal, codenamed "Shadow Weaver."
"Hmph..." After the identity was exposed, Kageori did not make any unnecessary quibbling. She just snorted coldly and asked, "Who are you? Mr. Zhou Ming, who is also pretending to be young here."
She read Zilin's false name in a sarcastic tone, and the implication was obvious.
"Well, Zhou Ming is indeed a fake name. My real name is Zilin. I'm sorry to know you in this situation." Zilin responded. A second later, he added, "Oh, by the way, I'm not pretending to be young, my face is real."
"Okay, I will remember this face...and your name." Kageori said viciously.
"Do you like to remember?" Zilin continued, "Stop interrupting and listen to me and continue." He continued, "I can understand why you didn't take Xian Xiaoxiao away. Her ability is really tricky for you. Even if you want to knock her out and imprison her, she may kill you unconsciously.
"So, you can only try to lurk by her, get along with her, gain trust, and become friends...
"But now you don't have to worry, I'll help you solve this problem."
After saying that, Zilin took out something from his pants pocket.
Those are five capsules, each with a transparent isolation shell wrapped around the outside to prevent staining or accidental dissolution.
"What is this?" Kageori's gaze quickly moved to the capsule in the other party's hand and asked.
"You don't have to worry about what it is..." Zilin replied, "What I can tell you is that this is a drug that can inhibit the special abilities of those who are capable of suppressing the special abilities of those who are capable of using half a pill for her, and the effect can last for five days; and there are five pills here, which is equivalent to fifty days of inhibition... During these fifty days, as long as you let her take medicine on time, she will not be able to use her abilities. Whether you want to sell her or whatever... this should be enough for you to operate, right?"
"Ha..." Kageori sneered, "How do I know if this medicine is real? What if this is your plan..."
"I want to harm you or kill you, and you don't need to be so sloppy." Zilin said, "In the past two days, I just had someone give you a little poison that could not be detected in your meals, and you are already in the morgue."
This sentence made Yingori's expression suddenly change because she suddenly realized a very serious problem: "The person in the cafeteria is yours..."
"That's right, otherwise why would I always pass information at meal times?" Zilin interrupted her, "It's great that you can think of this yourself, saving me time to explain... and also leads to the next thing I want to say..." As he said, he got up from the bed, walked to Kageori, pulled up her hand, who was still afraid of, and stuffed the capsules into her hand. "In the past two months, all the people who eat in the cafeteria, every day and every meal... have been added to them."
"What!" Kageori was shocked at the time, and her expression became very subtle, as if there was something dirty on her body, and she looked disgusted.
"It is a special nanomechanical virus, very small and almost invisible to the naked eye." Zilin continued, "After entering the human body, these inorganic substances will be adsorbed on the stomach wall and standby, and will attract each other when there are the same machinery nearby, and combine them." His tone of this sentence was very relaxed, and he did not care about the listener's feelings at all. "When the total mass of this machine virus gradually accumulates to a certain value, it can be activated with a supporting remote control device to attack the human brain.
"It's a pity that when this 'value' will arrive, it's hard to accurately calculate; after all, everyone's dietary habits, appetite and other factors have certain differences... So, I had to get into this center a few days in advance; I thought I might have to stay here for a week or even ten days, but at present, I can leave tomorrow."
"Who are you...?" Kageori asked this question again, but this time, her tone was completely different from the one just now, and the meaning of this question was completely different.
"I said, my name is Zilin. You just need to know this." Zilin replied, "More, I'm afraid I can't tell you, right?"
Kageori took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and give him time to think about the situation.
After a while, she spoke again, "You just said, let me 'leave today', and, 'not only do I want to leave, Xian Xiaoxiao also wants to leave'?"
"Look, you finally learned how to communicate with others." Zilin smiled jokingly and continued, "My suggestion is, before midnight today, you can pick a time, take half a dose of powder from the capsule I gave you, try to swallow Xian Xiaoxiao, and then take her away with your ability in the night... At this point, you and I will not overturn the river."
"What about the mechanical virus in my body?" Kageori asked.
"Drinking coffee can eliminate it." Zilin replied.
"Ha?" The auxiliary word of Kageori is to confirm whether he heard it wrong.
"Not only coffee, but also mint, fried food, super spicy dishes, tobacco and alcohol, etc. Basically, things that have a greater irritation to the stomach can cause mechanical viruses to escape from the stomach wall to a certain extent. Once they are separated, they will soon be naturally metabolized by your body." Zilin continued, "In short, if you are very anxious, even if you eat barbecue and hot pot for half a month, it will definitely be cleaned, and maybe you will get gout."
"Your virus... isn't it too casual?" Kageori continued.
"Because this time I used the 'mass production type', the effect will naturally be worse." Zilin continued, "If you use a more mature model, the implantation cycle will be shorter and will not be affected by eating habits... The most important thing is that the distance of the remote control can be stretched very long."
"But there are nearly 200 people here, all of whom use advanced nanorobots, and the cost is a little uncontrollable." He said, shrugging helplessly, "Fortunately... in the 'Sunshine Youth Behavior Correction Center', mass production is enough."
He is right, this method that requires long-term accumulation and will be affected by eating habits can only be effectively implemented in this correction center, and even in prison, it may not be successful.
In this little kingdom of Uncle Tang, many things that seem absurd to the outside world and violate humanity are all explicitly stipulated.
For example: "I don't get serious about catching my chore", "I don't eat seriously", "I don't hold my hands tightly in the queue", "Eat chocolate", "Drink drinks, tea and water, coffee", "Listen to music without permission", "Touch the computer and log in to the external network without permission", "Enter Uncle Tang and the doctor's office privately", "Speak loudly in the corridor in a laughing and playing", "Speak loudly in the toilet after the lights are turned off", "Touch RMB without permission", etc.
In our opinion, these things are not a problem at all. If they are committed in the correction center, they will be electrocuted.
There are even more outrageous things, such as "excited", "self-pretentious", "fooling parents to want to go home", "talking about treatment", "strong vanity", "going clever", "lack of thinking about speaking", "cognitive bias", "not being at ease to receive treatment", "insufficient execution" and so on... It cannot be defined by objective facts, or simply threatening the interests of the hospital, and can also be used as a reason for electric shock.
In short, it is to try every means to keep the patient here for longer, treat a disease they fabricated, and to keep the patient's family paying expensive treatment costs.
The patients' will torture can be controlled by electrocution. As for the family members... Uncle Tang will "brainwash" in the weekly review class.
In such a place, "patients" cannot even contact with chocolate or beverages, not only tobacco or alcohol, but also to eat lighter food, and they can be cheaper and cheaper, which is called cultivating the spirit of hard work and endurance.
In this way, the implantation of the mechanical virus can naturally proceed smoothly.
"Although I don't know what you are going to do, I don't understand..." Kageori could hear that Zilin had finished saying everything she wanted to say, and was just chatting with herself now; words that sound false and real... may not be believed. Therefore, she took the initiative to change the topic, wanting to see if she could test out more useful information, "... Since you have that kind of resources on hand, why not use a simpler and more direct method? Drug, find mercenaries, or... just let you do it yourself." She looked at Zilin with a slightly moving expression, "You must be a capable person, and... they are the kind that is much better than me."
At this point, she had no doubts at all. Whether in terms of wisdom, combat power, or other resources, Zilin was above her, and she could not imagine how big the gap between her and the other party was.
"You're over the award. I'm just a 'paper-level' newbie." Zilin lay back on the bed and closed his eyes. "And... I think we've talked enough. As a lady, I'm stuck in a man's room for too long, but I'm a little unprotective."
"Tsk... pretend." Seeing that the other party not only did not take the bait, but also gave the order to expel guests, Yingori immediately spat and changed into a look of displeasure again, saying, "Okay, I'll take your medicine, I'll take it away tonight, and then, we won't break the river."
Chapter completed!
