You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 65
Chapter 65: Doesn’t He Sleep?!
In the eyes of the death row prisoners, it was as if a light had suddenly been extinguished.
At this moment, they would rather return to the dark and gloomy prison than stay in this bright and spacious laboratory!
Soldiers put life and death on their belts, they hang life and death on their beds and in their pots, and place them in the laboratory.
It sounds wonderful, but really… it’s hard to accept!
“Alright, everyone, don’t panic. Coming to me, you don’t have to get up at six every day for morning exercises, you don’t have to attend classes every day, and you don’t have to accept a fixed schedule. Sleep until whenever you want, tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll get it! ”
Su Qin’an clapped his hands and said to the death row prisoners, “Of course, here, you don’t need to eat cauliflower every day, just occasionally. ”
The more amiable Su Qin’an was, the more the death row prisoners felt that the entire laboratory was filled with gloom.
Each of them committed arson, engaged in smuggling and drug trafficking, violated laws and disciplines, and did all kinds of evil; their greatest achievement in life was to establish a notorious reputation in the martial world, and anyone who saw them would give them some face.
Some had even been active in both the legal and illegal worlds, once causing significant headaches for the Nation.
Now, seeing Su Qin’an, they realized that what they had done before was still too humane…
What is the most terrifying thing?
It’s not knowing that you will die, but having someone tell you that you will die, yet you don’t know when you will be killed.
They cast pleading glances at the Police Officer, hoping that the handsome, debonair, talented, and martial arts-proficient People’s Police Officers could be lenient and allow them to return to the dark and gloomy… no, to the beautiful and livable prison.
Even if it means going back to operate sewing machines!
They discovered for the first time that there was a place in the world that was even “better” than prison.
The Police Officers directly ignored the death row prisoners’ gazes.
There’s nothing to sympathize with; if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.
The Police Officers turned around in a well-trained manner and left the laboratory, leaving behind the death row prisoners’ increasingly dim gazes.
Along with them left the death row prisoners’ hope.
Su Qin’an ignored them and continued observing the display screen.
“Ah! I’ll fight you! ”
A death row prisoner suddenly roared, jumped off the bed, rushed towards Su Qin’an, and punched him in the back of the head.
Although the other death row prisoners showed no expression on their faces, their gazes were all focused on Su Qin’an and that death row prisoner.
Hearing the wind behind him, Su Qin’an sneered, turned around, extended his left hand, easily grabbed his fist, then punched the death row prisoner in the abdomen with his right hand, sending him flying backward; he slid about five meters before stopping.
The death row prisoner finally lay on the ground. The hand he had used to hit Su Qin’an was fractured the moment Su Qin’an blocked it; bl00d flowed from his mouth, his abdomen was slightly dented, and he had fainted.
The remaining death row prisoners looked at Su Qin’an with fear; even the few who had been about to attack him were completely silent.
“You’re pretty bold, didn’t you see my arson skills just now? ”
Su Qin’an rubbed his eyes: “Still fighting me… don’t act so righteous; it’s just a desperate last gasp! ”
He made a phone call, and after a while, two Police Officers came in and carried the death row prisoner out.
After the Police Officers left, a death row prisoner finally spoke.
“You… ”
“What? Do you think I’m breaking the law? Do you think I’m inhumane? Do you think China would have a degenerate like me? ”
Looking at the death row prisoners’ approving yet fearful eyes, Su Qin’an sneered, “I tell you, everyone has the right to say that about me except you!
One by one, don’t you know how you ended up in prison, how you became death row prisoners? Have you selectively forgotten what you did before? I don’t believe that you didn’t go to prison before becoming death row prisoners, and I don’t believe that the Nation didn’t give you opportunities before.
You’ve already done what you’ve done, and now you’re afraid of the consequences? I give you a chance to contribute, and you’re still picky? Because of you, how many people have died? Now, let you experience their suffering firsthand, and you’re still afraid?
Those you killed have lost their families, their homes were destroyed, and there are even things more terrifying than death. What are you so afraid of? ”
Someone shouted, “Even if we broke the law, there’s the law to sanction us. It’s not your turn to meddle! ”
Hearing this, Su Qin’an smiled, “Then guess how you were sent here? ”
The death row prisoners fell into thought.
“Instead of thinking about this, you’d better be honest and cherish the days you can live. ”
Su Qin’an said, “Also, as far as I know, most of your sentences are in the next few days, right? Do you want to go back to die, or stay here and live a little longer? You choose. ”
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
“Speak up, or I’ll assume you’re staying! ”
Su Qin’an leaned against the wall beside him, impatiently said, “Let me say this in advance, I’ll be staying in the lab for a while. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to go out, nor are you allowed to touch anything inside. If anyone violates this, the consequences will be the same as the guy just now. ”
Seeing that they still didn’t speak, Su Qin’an said, “If you don’t speak, I’ll assume you’re not leaving! ”
They continued to remain silent.
“Okay, that’s it. Today’s work is done. You can go… do whatever you want, as long as you don’t violate what I said. ”
Su Qin’an said, taking the record sheet and preparing to go to the experimental table to make improvements. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and took out his cell phone: “You’re bored, right…? Come on, I’ll find something for you to pass the time, don’t thank me! ”
Ten minutes later, the death row prisoners watched as a team of Police Officers carried books in, placing them neatly on the floor, falling into silence.
Forget it, let’s just read. It’s better than doing nothing!
Upon seeing the book titles…
《Ideological and Political Studies Course 4, Philosophy and Culture》
《Elective Ideological and Political Studies Course 1, Basic Knowledge of Scientific Socialism》
《Civic Morality and Ethics》
《Ten Characteristics and Eight Elements of Socialism》
《Basic Knowledge of Law in Life》
《Our Century》
The types were varied, even including high school textbooks.
The only commonality was that they all revolved around Socialism and the Rule of Law Society.
The death row prisoners took a deep breath, telling themselves that they couldn’t afford to offend, and then silently picked up a copy of 《Civic Morality and Ethics》 and began to read.
The day passed quickly, and it was already eleven o’clock at night.
The death row prisoners were preparing to go to sleep when Scarface cautiously approached Su Qin’an.
Seeing that Su Qin’an didn’t react, he simply lay down on the ground next to Su Qin’an’s workbench.
Su Qin’an glanced at him, ignored him, and continued working.
It was late, the moon was rising in the east.
The next afternoon, Scarface, with dark circles under his eyes, slept until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Why?
Last night, he had already thought it over; this might be his only chance to regain his freedom.
Su Qin’an was very strong, but even if a person was strong, they couldn’t be strong all the time.
At the very least, he’d have to sleep, right?
And there were no beds in the laboratory, so Su Qin’an would most likely sleep on the table.
Someone once said, no matter how strong a person is, once they fall asleep, they are lambs to be slaughtered.
Similarly, Scarface once said that as long as Su Qin’an fell asleep, he could directly kill him, leave the laboratory, and be reborn!
But…
The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Su Qin’an didn’t sleep! He didn’t sleep!
Scarface watched from eleven-thirty at night until six o’clock the next morning, but he couldn’t see that Su Qin’an had any desire to sleep.
There were many who had the same idea as Scarface, but Scarface was very persistent.
Everyone else had fallen asleep, but he was still observing Su Qin’an.
In the end, Scarface successfully slept until three o’clock in the afternoon and was kicked awake by Su Qin’an.
As a result, Scarface looked at Su Qin’an with a resentful expression, beneath which was the listless look of a salted fish.
