Chapter 93 - Shower (1/2)

To be honest, Su Min found the skeleton hands rather cute.

If the others knew about it, they would probably be pleased to death but they couldn’t see it and could only glare at him with jealousy.

The weeding task went on for two hours.

This time Su Min didn’t do too much but his job was still completed better than the others. Once again, he was looked on enviously.

There wasn’t anyone missing when they counted the heads and Fang Shu Juan’s roommate was still safe and sound.

Su Min didn’t seem to see anything dangerous.

After returning back, they lined up for lunch. Fang Shu Juan stood beside them and said: “I thought something would happen by now, but I guess I was wrong.”

Last time it happened while they were working.

Su Min said: “Hair was found in the room so maybe it’ll happen in the room, not outside.”

The situation this time was similar to the scissor incident and no specific location was given.

“That makes sense.” Fang Shu Juan rubbed his chin, “Then I should pay more attention to his behaviour in the room later today.”

Fortunately, the room was small so he could easily keep his eye on his roommate.

Yin Ze asked: “Does the appearance of hair mean that he’s going to die from hair?”

Fang Shu Juan glanced at him, “It probably is the case.”

They could only make guesses at this point and they didn’t know what the hair meant.

There was more food at the cafeteria today.

Su Min was in a good mood, so he cleared his plate rather quickly. Yin Ze on the other hand, contrary to his usually good appetite, only finished half.

Yin Ze lowered his hand.

Fang Shu Juan asked: “Feeling sick?”

Yin Ze said: “None of your fucking business.”

Fang Shu Juan said: “Yes, it’s none of my business. It doesn’t matter even if you starve to death.”

“You’re the one who’s going to starve to death.” Yin Ze snorted. He used his chopstick to poke around his rice a little and he quickly took a few more bites.

Su Min who was originally going to persuade him to eat a little more kept silent.

Seeing how Yin Ze was acting, he looked like he could eat a bit more.

They returned to their room at noon for an afternoon nap. Fang Shu Juan reassured them that he would keep watch over his roommate.

Afterall, it was something that was going to happen close to them and it would be a chance for them to witness what was happening. If it was to happen in another room, it would be difficult for them to even notice.

Let’s take the current situation as an example. If that hair appeared on another person, they definitely wouldn’t have noticed it.

They would probably only find out after everything had already happened and wouldn’t know about the existence of the hair even until the very end.

Afterwards, they weren’t given another job and was instead taken to the same room where they watched the news broadcast the other day to watch a video about labour reformation.

It also included prison quizzes.

The video even included some examples of prisoners successfully reducing their sentences after performing well and behaving during their stay in prison.

Su Min watched on with interest.

The director didn’t make up the contents here and they all existed in reality. You could easily find similar cases with a simple web search.

Brother Hao’s younger brother whispered to him: “What’s the point of watching this? It’s not like it’ll appear in the quiz.”

“It’s on par to watching a news broadcast.”

“Might as well go to sleep.”

“Brother Hao, why haven’t you looked for 488?”

As soon as he heard that number, Brother Hao glared at him, “What’s there to look for? I want to work hard so you must also work hard.”

The younger brothers: “………….”

Their voices weren’t small, so Su Min heard everything. His impression of Brother Hao had also changed slightly.

When he looked over, Brother Hao also just happened to be looking at him.

He didn’t expect the other party to be so terrified of him. Brother Hao immediately dragged his chair back to move away from the light above him in fear of the lights suddenly falling and smashing him in the head.

Su Min: “………..”

He’s not a monster.

After watching the video, it was already evening. Everyone took a break before heading over to the cafeteria for dinner.

In fact, life in prison was very monotonous. It was probably because there was nothing entertaining in this unknown prison.

The only big form of entertainment that they have here was on certain festive days.

It was very unlike the prisons overseas which even have libraries, sport stadiums and even amusement parks.

After dinner, Su Min and the others returned to their rooms.

Yin Ze said: “Something will happen tonight?”

Su Min glanced at the room on the opposite end of the corridor, “Probably.”

Nothing had happened yet today and that was already rather unusual. He was almost 80% certain that something would happen tonight.

…………

Fang Shu Juan’s roommate was called Chen Xu. He had stayed in this prison for three years and had not run into too much trouble. At most, he was just bullied a little by Brother Hao.

This was information Fang Shu Juan managed to elicit or guess.

Chen Xu laid in bed, “You wash up first. I want to sleep a bit.”

Fang Shu Juan was the first to wash. Afterall, the later it was, the more unsafe. This was especially the case in a place like this.

When he left the bathroom, he was greeted by Chen Xu’s snoring.

The other roommate was a little more familiar with Chen Xu. After he was done washing up, he woke him: “Hurry and take a shower. It’s almost time for lights out.”

Chen Xu clumsily stumbled up.

The bathroom here was basically made up of a few walls and a curtain blocking the doorway.

There was also a light inside.

Chen Xu murmured: “Why is it so dark?”

The bathroom was originally quite small. After turning on the lights, it was much better. Without any delay, he turned on the tap and started washing himself.

Because the showerhead was rather dirty, they usually just drench themselves in water without using their hands.

When Chen Xu was halfway through his shower, he noticed that the water was getting smaller and smaller. They weren’t living on the fifth floor or using a secondary water supply so why would there not be enough water?

He twisted the tap to its highest only to see that it was useless.

Chen Zu originally thought that it was because they had run out of water but when he looked at the showerhead above, he was met with a shocking scene.

The showerhead was completely wrapped in hair and water seeped through several small gaps.

He was using the water that was coming out through those gaps to shower earlier. That explained why the water would suddenly get so small.

Chen Xu cursed silently: “Who the hell wrapped their hair around this?”

He reached out to remove it. He had originally thought that it would have been a rather easy feat.

But contrary to his expectations, that hair had instead moved to wrap around his wrist. It was as if it had suddenly came to life.

Chen Xu couldn’t even make a sound.

………….

The roommate staying on the upper bunk grumbled: “Why is Chen Xu taking so long? Don’t tell me he’s self-relieving?”

At this moment, Fang Shu Juan realised that something wasn’t right.

He could still hear the sound of water in the bathroom. Because he was in the room and it was only separated by a curtain, he could hear it very clearly.
