Click.
A metal door slowly opened.
"Mr. Xiao, please."
The square-faced man said to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at the square face, then at Shao Ping, and finally his gaze fell on the metal gate.
What's inside?
He thought about it and was about to go in.
"etc."
Shao Ping spoke.
"Xiao Chen, let me remind you that there is a camera in the upper left corner. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Sword, you can get out."
"Haha, I'd like to see it for myself."
Xiao Chen sneered a few times and strode in.
When he saw everything inside clearly, he was stunned.
Looking around, the entire room is made of silver metal, including the roof and four walls!
In addition, the entire room is closed and there is no gap except for a vent!
"Mr. Xiao, I'm waiting for your news."
As Shao Ping spoke, the metal door slowly closed.
Click.
When the sound was heard, Xiao Chen turned his head and frowned.
He already had a vague idea of what Shao Ping was planning!
According to foreign research, when people are in an absolutely closed space, have no sense of time and cannot contact the outside world, it won’t take long for their spirit to begin to collapse and become manic and restless.
In the end, they will even hit the surrounding walls hard, trying to escape from this environment!
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiao Chen sneered.
He walked slowly around in this metal space. There were almost no gaps and it was very quiet. Apart from his footsteps, there was no other sound.
After turning around a few times, he slowly sat down on the ground.
"How long do you think he will last?"
In a monitoring room, Shao Ping looked at Xiao Chen on the screen and asked.
"One day."
The square-faced man thought for a moment and said.
"One day? There's still time!"
Shao Ping smiled.
"The one that lasted the longest, how long did it last?"
"Thirty-two hours."
"Well, the capital will take two days, which is enough."
Shao Ping nodded.
"You stay here and watch. As soon as he tells you the whereabouts of the Xuanyuan Sword, immediately send someone to get the sword back! Once the sword is back, release him."
"yes."
The square-faced man nodded.
Shao Ping glanced at Xiao Chen on the screen again, then turned and walked out.
The square-faced man pulled over a chair, sat down, lit a cigarette, and watched quietly.
He was also curious about how long Xiao Chen could hold out.
He only has 24 hours!
He has been through it, so he knows the feeling of collapse!
In the metal room, Xiao Chen leaned against the metal wall and looked at his reflection on the opposite wall.
He raised his arms, and the man on the metal wall also raised his arms.
"Oh."
Xiao Chen smiled and slowly closed his eyes.
He also wanted to try whether he could really be broken down by this enclosed environment.
Time passes by every second.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
And Xiao Chen's condition was obviously not as good as when he first came in.
Mainly, in this confined space, he seemed to have lost all external senses.
He also couldn't feel the passage of time.
He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
However, the sound of my strong heartbeat was very clear.
This feeling continued, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
Even if he closed his eyes and wanted to sleep, he couldn't fall asleep in this environment.
It's quiet!
Quietly scary!
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.
What time is it now?
How long has he been here?
It should be night, right?
Xiao Chen glanced at the camera in the upper left corner, thought of something, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff.
As the thick smoke rushed into his lungs, he felt refreshed, and all the uncomfortable feelings disappeared.
In the monitoring room, the square-faced man looked at the cigarette in Xiao Chen's hand and frowned.
He didn't expect that Xiao Chen still had cigarettes in his pocket!
"Boss, do you want to go in and confiscate his cigarettes?"
A subordinate next to him asked.
The square-faced man hesitated and shook his head: "No need."
He wasn't sure if Xiao Chen would suddenly attack and hurt people if he let his men in.
Moreover, once the door is opened, all the time spent before will be wasted.
Xiao Chen finished smoking a cigarette and was about to light up another one when he noticed that there were only three cigarettes left in the box.
He thought about it and stopped smoking, but put it aside.
Then he gave a bitter smile. He never expected that one day he would end up in such a state that he couldn't even bear to smoke cigarettes.
However, because of a cigarette, his condition was much better than before.
At least, the madness coming from the depths of the soul was suppressed.
He stood up and turned around the metal room, trying to make as much noise as possible.
Just like that, more than an hour later, that manic feeling came back.
“Damn it.”
Xiao Chen cursed inwardly, but still did not touch the cigarette, instead he sat on the ground.
He tried to divert his attention and think about other things.
For example, Su Qing, Su Xiaomeng, and Tong Yan...
One woman after another appeared in his mind, trying to offset the frenzy as much as possible.
But when he finished thinking, that manic feeling came like a wave, trying to swallow him up.
This startled him and he quickly thought of something else.
From Longhai, I thought about going abroad, and went backwards a little bit, meeting one person after another, and met the old fortune teller, the Xiao family...
"ah!"
It was unknown how much time had passed before Xiao Chen raised his head and roared wildly.
His eyes were red and bloodshot.
He clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged.
"Almost twenty hours."
In the monitoring room, the square-faced man looked at the time and surprise flashed in his eyes.
You know, at the beginning, he showed signs of collapse when it was almost twenty hours, his consciousness was consumed by rage, and he punched the metal wall again and again.
And now, Xiao Chen doesn't seem to be in such a bad condition.
After a while, Xiao Chen picked up the cigarette box and lit the second cigarette.
He took a deep breath, the flame on the cigarette flickered, half of the cigarette burned out, turned into smoke, and was inhaled into his lungs.
He felt a little better.
However, it is obviously not as effective as the first cigarette.
"God, it should be light again, right?"
Xiao Chen smoked a cigarette, looked at the camera in the upper left corner, and muttered to himself.
Soon, the cigarette was gone.
Xiao Chen threw away the cigarette butt and stood up.
Although it is not of much use, at least I can hear my own footsteps when I get up and walk around, instead of the dead silence.
An hour later, he lit up his third cigarette.
He looked at the last cigarette in the box and shook his head. It would be hard to bear once he finished smoking the cigarette.
He held a cigarette between his lips as he walked up to the metal door and looked around.
He was wondering if he could break open the metal door!
If he really can't stand it anymore, he will blast open the metal door and kill his way out!
But to his disappointment, this metal door was made of steel plates thicker than two fingers and could not be opened by brute force.
At least, he doesn't have the ability!
"Damn it, Shao Ping, right? You came up with this trick to trick me. When I get out, I'll throw you in too, so you can have a taste of this!"
Xiao Chen cursed.
Just as Xiao Chen was cursing, Shao Ping also came to the monitoring room.
Xiao Chen's curse came out clearly from the speakers.
Shao Ping's eyelids twitched and he looked at Xiao Chen on the screen.
"How is he?"
"Director Shao, I'm afraid we'll have to extend the time."
The square-faced man said to Shao Ping.
"oh?"
Shao Ping was a little surprised and looked at Xiao Chen carefully.
"It seems that he is in good condition."
"Um."
The square-faced man nodded.
"He still has a cigarette, but I don't think he can hold on for long."
"cigarette?"
Shao Ping frowned slightly, looked at the screen carefully, and saw the cigarette.
"Well, he used cigarettes to distract himself, and there was also the effect of nicotine."
The square-faced man gave a brief explanation.
"So that's how it is."
Shao Ping nodded.
"No matter what, we don't have much time left."
"Well, he'll be smoking this soon."
The square-faced man said firmly.
After about half an hour, Xiao Chen lit the last one.
He held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the camera in the upper left corner, and slowly... raised his middle finger.
Seeing Xiao Chen raising his middle finger, Shao Ping's face looked a little ugly.
It's been more than twenty hours, and he's still so arrogant?
However, he didn't have any good solution. Once people were locked up, everything was out of his control.
Just let it be!
"Keep your eyes on it!"
Shao Ping said something to the square-faced man and left again.
Soon, Xiao Chen finished his last cigarette and threw the butt on the ground.
"Is there anyone here? How about we chat?"
Xiao Chen sat on the ground, looked at the camera, and spoke loudly.
“…”
The square-faced man didn't say anything. If he had spoken, he would have been fooled.
After Xiao Chen spoke for a few sentences, he became too lazy to continue when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.
But he knew that there was definitely someone watching him on the other side of the camera.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Xiao Chen became manic and restless.
He turned around the metal room twice and punched the wall.
Bang.
A dull sound was heard, and there was no damage to the wall. A pain came from Xiao Chen's fist.
He looked down and didn't care.
“Soon.”
The square-faced man looked at Xiao Chen with a hint of joy.
He looked at the time and it was already evening.
In other words, Xiao Chen has been in this confined space for more than twenty-four hours!
As time went by, Xiao Chen's condition became worse. He was like a trapped beast, making roaring sounds.
Although he wanted to control himself, he couldn't do it at all.
Bang bang.
His fists kept hitting the metal door, trying to break it open.
However, even though his fists were bleeding, the metal door was not shaken.
"Quick, go inform Director Shao and tell him that Xiao Chen can't hold on any longer."
The square-faced man said to his subordinates.
"yes."
The men nodded and hurried away.
Soon, Shao Ping came.
"Did he?"
"Not yet, but soon. He will collapse in half an hour at most."
The square-faced man said with a smile.
“Okay, great!”
Shao Ping nodded and smiled.
Just as the two were expecting Xiao Chen to tell them the whereabouts of Xuan-Yuan Sword, the smiles on their faces disappeared.
"What is he doing?"
Shao Ping stared at Xiao Chen on the screen and asked.
"I...he seems..."
The square-faced man was shocked. How could this be possible?
Chapter 3
As I was writing, I suddenly wondered, has this confined space been written about in old books? It seems familiar, but I can't remember clearly. Old friends, has this been written about in old books?
