Bizarre Detainment Facility: You're Containing a Human Like Me?

The deputy commander said as he walked out.

When he walked to the door, he grabbed the door handle with one hand and turned to the guard who was still in the room and said:

"He will stay here tonight and strengthen the defense here, so be sure to keep an eye on him."

"I don't want any more accidents to happen, do you understand what I mean?"

After receiving the order, the guards saluted in response.

After the deputy commander's footsteps went away, the guard glanced viciously at Yi Hao, who was still sitting on the seat.

He said in a cold tone:

"Be honest with me!"

"The deputy commander is easy to talk to, but I am not so easy to talk to!"

Hearing this, Yi Hao raised his head and rolled his eyes at him, then said jokingly:

"Why do you say that I am still a brigadier general now? It seems inappropriate for you to talk to me like this, right?"

The guard narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Although Yi Hao was joking, what he said was also true.

So he could only snort and leave.

Yi Hao didn't care what was happening outside.

He leaned back in his chair and fell into thought.

…………

And the other side.

He also noticed something was wrong through the shadows of soldiers passing by outside the window.

So he picked up the office communicator placed on the desktop.

"Guard, bring me a pack of cigarettes."

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

A heavily armed soldier walked in.

He first gave a military salute to the shadow, and then took out the cigarette he kept in his tactical pocket.

As Shadow took the cigarette, the soldier saluted again, then turned to leave.

At this time, the shadow stopped him.

"Wait a minute, sit down and have a cigarette before leaving."

The soldier turned around and saw the smile on Shadow's face, as well as Lu Xiao, who was sitting in the office chair with his eyes closed and concentrating.

He hesitated, but finally chose to follow Shadow's orders.

Shadow picked up the cigarette and patted it on the back of his hand, then took out one and handed it to the guard first.

The guard felt a little flattered, and he quickly took the cigarette with both hands.

Then Shadow picked up a lighter and lit the other party's fire.

This set up gave the guard soldier an unreal feeling.

Shadow smiled, and then lit one for himself.

Neither of them spoke, they just smoked cigarettes one after another.

After a while, a cigarette burned out.

When the soldier was about to leave, Shadow patted him on the shoulder and said:

"I remember your last name is Li, right?"

Although the guard soldier was a little surprised, he still nodded.

Because Shadow is not here all year round, there are no guards specially assigned to him here.

So he was temporarily assigned to act as a guard.

Logically speaking, Shadow shouldn't know him.

Before he could react, Shadow pointed to the nearest seat with a smile and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, sit down and take a rest."

"You can smoke two more with me."

Guard: "Chief...me."

Shadow interrupted him, still with a smile on his face and said:

"Take it as an order from me."

Hearing this, the guard had no choice but to sit down.

Shadow handed him a cigarette again.

This time, before Shadow could light a fire for him, the guard took out a lighter from somewhere.

With a soft "click" sound.

Shadow's eyes fell on the flame, and he said with a strange expression:

"Good boy, it seems that you usually smoke less."

The guard smiled awkwardly and said:

"Chief, let me give you some."

Shadow smiled and pointed at the other party, but he didn't mean to refuse.

After taking a long puff of smoke, Shadow continued to smile and said:

"Xiao Li, actually you don't have to be so reserved."

"I believe you can see that I'm here to ask you something."

Hearing this, the guard hurriedly responded:

"Chief, just tell me. If I know anything, I will definitely tell you."

Shadow patted his trouser legs with the hand holding the cigarette, then smiled and said to the guard:

"I just woke up to the alarm and didn't know what was going on outside."

"Can you tell me in detail?"

Hearing this, the guard sounded a little sad.

"A whole security team had their necks wiped clean."

"It should be their officer in charge of guarding who is planning to desert."

After hearing what the guard said, Shadow was just stunned for half a second.

He immediately connected this matter with Yi Hao.

He groaned and said with doubt in his tone:

"Did that officer do this?"

The guard slowly took out a puff of cigarette and said in a somewhat puzzled tone:

"Who else but him."

"Now that the man has been caught, the deputy commander is interrogating him."

Shadow nodded, and then his expression turned sad.

"Why do you think he's a deserter?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, then turned to glance at Lu Xiao, who had his legs crossed on the desk.

He lowered his voice and said:

"Some people say that he lied about military information and was exposed."

"So I guess he is preparing to abscond in fear of crime."

Upon hearing this, Shadow smiled dumbly and said:

"Okay, I probably understand what's going on."

After saying that, he put the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.

Then he handed the remaining half of the pack of cigarettes to the guard and said:

"Take this and save yourself the trouble."

"If you are discovered, don't say I gave it to you."

"Otherwise, Lao Zhang will come and nag me in my ear again, saying that I took the lead in disrupting military discipline."

The guard smiled and nodded, then hid the cigarette close to his body.

After doing all this, he saluted the shadow.

"Then chief, I will return to my post first."

"If anything happens, just give me your orders at any time!"

Shadow nodded and waved: "Go."

After the guards left, Lu Xiao, who had been lying on the chair with his eyes closed to rest, opened his eyes.

After he put his legs down, he looked at the shadow and said:

"Why did the victim run?"

Shadow did not answer immediately, but held his chin and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said in a solemn voice:

"He probably didn't do this."

"I guess who killed the guard and then wanted to take him away from here."

Lu Xiao blinked and said:

"Who could that be?"

The shadow began to pace back and forth in the room.

After a while.

The noise coming from the window became much quieter.

It seems that the matter has been resolved.

At this moment, Shadow seemed to have thought of something.

He said in a deep voice:

"I just deduced the direction of things."

"Since he is preparing to escape from here, as a qualified victim, the possibility of being caught is not too great."

"So the victim should have been taken away by someone."

"But at the last moment, he chose to be caught on purpose."

"You should be trying to convey some information to me through this move."

"I guess he was doubting the identity of the man who took him away."
