Chapter 34 White Hole Prison (11)
byChapter 34: White Hole Prison (Part 11)
A soot-gray human silhouette appeared on the wall.
The outline of the figure was bizarre, looking as if it had been bent at a right angle and forcibly plastered onto the surface.
The facial features were indistinct, though most had already charred and peeled away. Yet, the face still carried an indescribable, inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Shi Wu narrowed his eyes, enduring the pungent smell of ammonia and cleaner. He tilted his head and bent halfway, trying to observe more closely—
The nose bridge was slightly sunken, there was a mole at the corner of the mouth, and the eyes slanted upward. An exaggerated smile stretched almost to the ears, but the hollow eye sockets seemed brimming with vacant confusion.
Shi Wu’s breath hitched for a few seconds. Wasn’t this the prisoner who had just been taken away during the morning assembly—902-3?
"I... I want to get out."
"I really... want to go home."
902-2 looked up at him, eyes red-rimmed, the tip of his nose also flushed.
"I miss my mom."
"If I could see her right now... I, I wouldn’t make her sad anymore. I definitely, definitely wouldn’t..."
Shi Wu fell silent for a long moment. Just as he opened his mouth to respond, the broadcast suddenly crackled to life again.
