Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 143 Football Match Prison Situation

What Lecter is passionate about and wants to do must not be a good thing. Verak didn't say anything, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he now has a certain right to make decisions, and maybe he can try to avoid many unnecessary casualties: "...Let me think about it. "

"It must be big enough. For festivals, everyone should participate." Lecter was just joking. He thought that Veraker, as a member of the prisoner, knew him so well, so he wouldn't be mad at him. The game made suggestions, but Veraker was willing to help him think about it. He was curious about what advice Veracer could give.

   "Peace Festival..." Verak murmured softly to himself, recalling how this festival would usually be celebrated, but since he had never experienced it before, he didn't have a deep impression. He only remembered that there would be some celebrations organized in the city.

   "To fit the theme, don't make me look like I'm carrying private goods." Lecter made a request to Verak with a cheeky face, trying to conceal his real purpose without doing anything.

   Routine celebrations are difficult to catch Lecter's eyes. Verak pondered, what kind of activities can satisfy Lecter while doing as little harm as possible to other prisoners.

   While thinking wildly, the scene of Carmine taking him to the stadium to watch a football match when he was in Laizein appeared in his mind. Sports, which are intensely confrontational and consume a lot of physical energy, may not be feasible.

   "How about a football game?" Verak suggested, "And the size of the square is almost equal to a football field."

   "Football game?" Lecter didn't think about sports, "It sounds interesting."

   "I think it's not bad. Think about it." Verak tied the bandage and put on the prison uniform. "It's big enough, enough people participate, and we happen to have a suitable venue."

  Lecter sat down and began to think about how the game of football could bring his play into it.

   "Football is popular in Welland now, and it is becoming more and more popular in Brexi. If a football match can really be held, it should be very exciting." Verak sat on the hospital bed and persuaded Lecter to adopt this opinion.

"Football is indeed very interesting. Prisoners and prison guards can be on the same team." Lecter nodded slightly, "There are also footballs in the prison guards' entertainment equipment room on the second floor, and you can make two ball frames at will, which is completely feasible. Just , Just playing football always feels like something is missing.”

"what do you want?"

   Lecter smiled meaningfully: "I already regard you as a confidant, don't you know what I want? Of course it is something interesting to me, otherwise why would I bother to organize it?"

   "Then you just sternly told me not to plan as if you were carrying private goods." Verak wanted to roll his eyes at Lecter, "It's fine to say no."

   "Boss, as long as you understand me, what do you say if you understand me." Lecter smiled brightly.

Verak thought for a while and came up with an idea that would benefit the prisoners: "Since it's a competition, it's best to have rewards, so that everyone will work harder. Therefore, you can set a sufficiently attractive reward for the prison guards and prisoners. I can guarantee that as long as your reward is big enough, this game will satisfy you."

"Well, this is a point, but it's still not enough." Lecter quite agreed with Veraker's opinion, turned around and said his own thoughts, "If the prison guards can go on stage with batons and have the right to attack prisoners It's more fun."

   In this way, the originally fair game between the two sides will turn into unilateral violence by the prison guards. Verac finds it hard to accept: "What about the prisoners? Can they fight back?"

   "Of course not." Lecter said as it should be, looking at Verak as if he wanted to see a fool for a while, "How can the prisoner fight back?"

   "Then there is no suspense in this game." Verak shook his head.

   "Also..." Lecter began to supplement the competition system again, filling in the omissions of the new gameplay, "The prisoner can be changed indefinitely, so that's fine."

  Lecter's newly added rules seem to be for the sake of the prisoner, but they are actually more beneficial to the prison guards, or to facilitate his violence. After all, according to the regulations of the football game, each team can only have eleven players on the field. If the prison guards have the right to attack the prisoners with batons, the eleven prisoners will be knocked down soon, and the game will be forced to stop. Prisoners can change indefinitely, which is also equivalent to prison guards and Lecter can attack indefinitely. Anyway, if one is defeated, a new one will be replaced.

"It's so unfair." Verac, who was deeply influenced by "Theory of Equality", couldn't accept Lecter's game of disrespecting others, "The prisoners are not fools, they won't join you with weapons, and they won't There will be someone willing to replace the injured."

"I think what you just said is very reasonable. As long as the reward I give is large enough, they will catch up." Lecter immediately thought of the reward for the prisoners to win the game, "For example, as long as they can If you win, I can give them a chance to write letters to their relatives and friends outside."

   After Lecter showed the reward, Verak was speechless.

   It is foreseeable that as long as Lecter proposes this reward, most of the prisoners who have lost contact with their relatives and friends outside for several months or years will rush to participate in the competition.

   "Will all prisoners receive this reward?" Verak asked.

  Even he himself couldn't refuse this reward, and the other prisoners would definitely agree. In this case, all he can do is to win it for everyone.

"Excluding you and Keating, all other letters will be sent out after strict review." Lecter said, "You can understand this, right? Your identities are too special. If you give away the equal rights, gold, etc. Pass important information out and I'll get in trouble."

"Understood." Verak did not expect to be able to send a letter to the outside world in his own capacity, but if others had this opportunity, they might be able to take him out together, "Can you do it? It's not a trivial matter, you have to ask Adel about it?"

"Don't provoke me, I'm bound to win the position of warden, it's nothing. Of course, it's impossible for them to send everything, and I also have the right to refuse the sending of certain letters." Lecter was moved when he saw Verak , Knowing that this reward is enough to make all the prisoners crazy, "How? Is this reward big enough?"

  Verak nodded: "Big enough."

"Then there shouldn't be any problem. October 20th is only a few days away. I have to hurry up and organize it." Lecter also went to inform his father about Jin Jin's new clues, and didn't talk to Virac, "I Let's go first, see you tomorrow."

   "See you tomorrow." Verak left together, and the two parted at the stairs, one went upstairs and the other went up and down.

  After being escorted back to the prison cell, Verac couldn't wait to tell Keating about the football match and rewards first, and then talked about the implementation of the trial plan.

"The next step is to see what Adel will do when he hears the news." Keating, contrary to Veraker, first talked about the backup plan, "In any case, tomorrow at the latest, is there any hope for the backup plan? It will become clear."

   "Yes, I hope Adel and Lecter are not at odds," Veraker said.

   "About sending the letter, what do you think?" Keating did not express his opinion first as usual, waiting for Verac to express his opinion first.

Verak had considered a lot on the way back, so he didn't hesitate to answer: "If the prisoners win the game, Lecter will really fulfill his promise, and it will be the best chance for me to contact the Equality Society. Although he stated I can't send letters, and other people's letters will be checked before they can be sent out, but there is always a way. But, on the one hand, even if you send a letter, it has to be on the twelfth of the next month. On the other hand, this is also possible It was Lecter's temptation to me."

"That's right." Keating didn't add new opinions after Verak finished speaking, nor did he refute, which meant that Verak thought the same as him, "This is a reward even higher than life for other prisoners, but for We seem somewhat dispensable."

"If the prison escape fails and we don't get out within a month, even if this is Lecter's temptation to me, I'm afraid I can only take the risk of contacting the Equality Association." Verak sighed, the reward time The point card is very good, and it doesn't have a great effect on him. It can only be used as a remedy after the jailbreak fails.

"Well, it's a helpless move, and it's best not to use it." Keating took out the intelligence paper Velakse gave him during the briefing, "I took a rough look at the contents, including the prison guards on duty at various positions. As well as on-duty hours, as well as simple information about some prison guards."

Verak took four or five pages of intelligence papers and read them carefully one by one: "It's so detailed... It feels like it has included all the prison guards. It seems that Dawn still knows a lot, but our plan has not yet been substantiated. He is not willing to cooperate deeply, otherwise he will become a great help for us.”

   "It will take time to gain his approval." Keating looked at it very openly, "You don't need to contact him so deliberately to ask for cooperation. Judging by his personality, he will be very resistant to such a person."

   "Understood." Verak also touched the general way of getting along with Dawn, so Dawn has not aroused any resentment so far.

Keating is very satisfied with Verak's growth during this period of time. Whether it is dealing with people, thinking about problems or cognition, Verak has made great progress: "You have made great progress and learned quickly. I will mention it soon. I can't think of any better advice than what you have to say."

   "Thank you, teacher." Verac heard that Keating sincerely praised and recognized him. This recognition is his biggest gain after being locked up here for so long.

   "Think about the football match on Peace Day on October 20. Is there anything else we can use?" Adding some confidence to Veraker, Keating, who seemed amiable, continued to discuss other things.

   "Okay, Lecter accepted my opinion this time, and I should be able to decide the details of this game to a certain extent." Verak also thought it was a good opportunity.

The energetic two talked for a whole noon. At two o'clock, Vilak, who was full of new ideas, was taken to the work area by the prison guards. After working for a long time, a prison guard who came down from the second floor found He said: "Is it number 8196, Thomas Chris?"

   "Yes." Verak stopped his work, "What's wrong?"

   "Come with me, the warden is looking for you." The prison guard said.

Veraker was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect Adel to make a move so soon, it seems that the report of the golden clue with Lecter at noon really started to stir up the situation: "...Okay, then I will leave it to you Ross first. "

   "You..." Rose didn't know why the warden, who was usually invisible but whose reputation resounded throughout the prison, suddenly wanted to meet Veraker, "Be careful."

   "Don't worry." Verak patted Rose on the shoulder, followed the prison guards out of the work area, and went to Adel's office on the second floor.

When the warden Adel saw him, there was only one signal, that is, the conflict between them was very deep, and it was not an issue of money, power, sex, etc., so that their backup plan would have a key basis for progress. .

  The second time he came to the second floor of Damans Prison, Veraker was more or less familiar, and soon passed through the entertainment area of ​​the prison guards and came to the corridor of the office area. Lecter also got the news this time, and crossed his arms at the door of the deputy warden's office, waiting for Verak to pass by: "Don't worry, he can't do anything to you."

   "Hmm." Hearing Lecter's exhortation, Verak just responded.

The purpose of his trip is to intensify the conflict between the two sides, and if he wants to intensify the conflict, he must provide some help to Adel, who seems to be on the weak side at present, so that they can fight more and more fiercely, resulting in Verak, Kid Ting can take advantage of the opportunity.

   "Waiting for your good news." After Verak glanced at him, Lecter said one last sentence and returned to the office.

  After working together for a period of time, he has great confidence in Veraker, and he also knows that Adel has no means superior to him.

   "The warden, prisoner No. 8196, Thomas Chris has arrived." The prison guard knocked on the door to inform.

  After hearing Adel's "Come in", the prison guard opened the door and let Verak in.

   "Good afternoon, Mr. Adel." With the experience of dealing with him once, and knowing that Adel needs him in the current situation, Veraker was no longer so stiff and nervous, and he greeted Adel unhurriedly first when he entered.

   "Good afternoon, please take a seat." Adel was sitting on the sofa in the living room just after entering the door, just like last time, with an indifferent expression and a cold voice.

  Villac sat on the sofa opposite Adel: "I was just at work, I don't know why you called me over."

"There's no need to pretend to be stupid, you are a smart person, you must know the purpose of my calling you, so I won't make any detours." Adel went straight as usual, "I can offer better conditions than Lecter , as long as you can only report to me the next gold clues."

   "Tell me first, what can you give me." Verak was not in a hurry to say what Lecter had promised, and planned to listen to Adel first.

   "Why don't you tell me what you want to do, but Lecter can't help you achieve it." Adel did not leak anything, but asked Veraker instead.
