in a box

Chapter 11

Li Jing's illness gradually improved.But his body was still heavy and weak.It should not be accidental.Li Jing had some ideas in mind, and he was fed by the man every day.

If the man doesn't come to feed, then he will enter the dark box again, where the time cannot be counted.

He remembered that when he was a child, he thought that animals would be fine if they were kept in small boxes and they would starve to death if they were not fed for a few meals.Then one summer, he caught a grasshopper and didn't have a transparent container at hand, so he took the small plastic cup that his mother used to make jelly and put the grasshopper in it.The small cup has a rubber lid that is looped around and can be sealed.

Li Jing put the small cup on the table and went to eat.It was two days before he remembered the grasshopper in the cup.He shook the cup, and there was a crackling sound from inside.He instinctively didn't want to open it.But he opened the lid with all his might.On the inner wall of the lid, on the wall of the cup, there are molds growing one by one.

The big grasshopper curled up into a thin strip and didn't move.Mold grew on both eyes.Cyan and black.

Li Jing was very scared, extremely scared.Scared to death.

He didn't want to be a grasshopper and die with mold and maggots on his body.He would rather be burned to death, or be smashed to pieces, than his own body become a breeding ground for billions and trillions of bacteria.

He is not stupid.

"Well, can you rub my back for me, please?"

While taking a shower, Li Jing spoke.He didn't look up when he said that, but just raised the towel.The other party did not respond.Ten seconds later, Li Jing raised his head, held up the towel and said it again.About ten seconds later, Li Jing said it again.

Li Jing said it about twenty times before the man moved his feet and walked over.

The man put the gloves in the pocket of his white coat and rolled up his sleeves.Li Jing handed him the towel, then turned his back to the man.After a while, I felt the rough feel of the towel on my back.The man doesn't know how to take a bath, and when he strikes lightly and sometimes hard, Li Jing can't help grinning.The man seemed to have heard Li Jing's breath, and the strength in his hands became lighter.

A little too light.Li Jing thought.

"I like to rub my back very much," Li Jing said again, "It's very comfortable."

The man didn't respond.Li Jing raised his eyebrows facing the wall.

In the next few days, Li Jing asked the man to rub his back.Because the strength is not strong, Li Jing thought it was rubbing water, which had little effect on the skin.

Later, even if Li Jing didn't say anything, the man would come to help Li Jing clean up.Li Jing did not resist him at all.

Li Jing is not stupid.He saw that this man was nourishing himself, wanted to use his heart, but had no experience.He is not a grasshopper, and to be honest, he doesn't want to die, so since a man can't, he can teach him.Teach slowly.

Li Jing has never studied psychology, and he doesn't know much about "Stay Holmes Syndrome"[Note 2]. He only knows that when he was a pet when he was a child, the clingy cat ate the best and lived the best. Long.

Gain goodwill by interacting with the owner, so that the owner will have a sense of responsibility and love, so as to get more rights and interests.

This man is simply...too stupid.Does he not know how to connect with people?

Li Jing felt that this idea jumped into his mind like a grasshopper.The metaphor made him feel sick.He couldn't help retching when the man was feeding.

The man stopped the spoon.Li Jing shook his head, then leaned his head towards the spoon and opened his mouth.

The man took a spoonful of fried rice and stuffed it into Li Jing's mouth.

[Note]: Stockholm Syndrome.Li Jing didn't remember the name clearly.

Sometimes there is a knife hanging on the top of the head, and the end is tied with a ponytail. I know it is firmly tied and will not fall off, but I am afraid.I am afraid that the buckle will slip open suddenly, or that a lunatic will run over and cut the rope and the sharp knife will fall.

What should we do?

Li Jing said that it is enough to think of the knife as a ceiling-mounted chandelier.

The man felt that his ability to communicate with people became worse after being in contact with the experimental subjects.Although he knew that being transferred to conduct such a large-scale experiment was the best development opportunity given to him by his direct superior, the third academician of the National Academy of Sciences, he always felt that he was abandoned.The mouth became more and more unscrupulous.Finally, in a recent quarrel, I finally said such naive words as "If I don't succeed this time, I will leave the Academy of Sciences".

The third academician was stunned by himself, so he didn't stop any longer, but went home directly.Now that he said it, he could only spend more energy on his experiment.

But without knowing when it started, his subject had already started to speed up the progress of his experiment.

Li Jing was lying on the mat, the shackles were still on his left foot, the difference was that he was wearing socks on his left and right feet.In the narrow room with unknown time and season, there seems to be some equipment placed, which will hum every time.If you don't listen carefully, you'll think a newly aborted baby is crying feebly in the corner.

He was thinking about one thing, something that he would never have thought about a month ago, maybe half a month ago.

Recently the man has reduced the number of times he enters the room, but he will definitely appear once every 10 hours.

I don't know when it started, maybe before three meals, or before thirty baths.

Li Jing looked at the back of the masked man's scrupulously combed head, and began to tell himself slowly in his heart.

This masked man is a handsome boy who has a good impression of him, perhaps because he is willing to eat with him every day after class, and is willing to buy drinks for him.The student who reacted blankly, a little slow, likes science and engineering books, and is interested in tinkering with his major.

He likes himself but he doesn't realize it, and he pretends not to see it, and he still eats with him after class every day, sings K, and even socializes with him.

Thinking about it this way, it seems acceptable to be locked up by him.

So what now?What's the situation now……

Li Jing shivered and woke up.Once in self-hypnosis, people will be unable to extricate themselves.Like a junior high school boy who just got a taste of masturbation.Can die.

Wearing rubber gloves, the man brought a bowl of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers and rice to Li Jing.Li Jing had long stopped taking the medicine that could make his limbs weak. He raised his finger, but didn't do the next thing.He looked up at the mask.The masked man paused for two seconds, picked up the spoon and started feeding him.

During the fourth mouthful, some rice accidentally leaked onto Li Jing's chest and thighs.Li Jing looked at the rice grains, then raised his head again.

The masked man reached over and picked up the rice grains on his thigh. "Ah." Li Jing opened his mouth.The hand holding the rice grains hesitated for a moment, and stuffed the rice grains into his mouth.

When he took the few pills on his chest, the masked man seemed to shake his hands a little, and he took three attempts to get it.

Li Jing felt that there was something wrong with him.Unsteady mind.

He silently gave himself a mouthful of "lower embryos" in his heart, and then ate the rice leisurely.

This strange and immoral pleasure and self-loathing caused by hatred made his bowels twist.At this time, he could only keep scolding himself in his heart, but his eyes did not move away from the two glass holes of the mask.

As if sensing Li Jing's uneasiness, the masked man put down the bowl and chopsticks and sat beside him.Li Jing lowered his head, trying to ignore him, but his throat was itchy.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!" Li Jing couldn't hold back, and coughed out.He wiped the corners of his mouth and continued to cough a few times, but the last one was choked in his throat.

The masked man stretched out his hand and patted his back.

Patting him on the back! ! !

In the dim light, Li Jing couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The masked man quickly withdrew his hand, then stood up with the bowl in his hand, and walked out.

Li Jing watched him go out and closed the door.

After a day's work, the masked man returned to the chair in front of the monitor.Holding a bowl of burnt vegetables and rice, he called up the record and prepared to read it slowly.

Just use the fast-forward method to watch it, and it is no different from watching movies in ordinary times.With a spoon in his mouth, he unhurriedly picked up the mineral water on the side.Just when he was about to put down the spoon to drink, the action of the person under surveillance on the surveillance screen caught his attention.

He lay half-lying with his back to the light, with his hands between his crotch.

The masked man's hand trembled and fell to the ground with a "Kang Dang".He didn't plan to pick it up either, but dialed the video forward.

He stared at the picture, his face was reflected on the slightly blue screen, and there was a very subtle atmosphere from behind.In our terms, pornography.

This solitary pornography, however, only serves to overwhelm.But it also lures out the deepest mess and excitement.This feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling of suddenly getting excited when seeing a pair of stockings discarded in the suburbs.I don't know what went wrong, but the whole person is a ghost.Calm, curious, excited, terrified, relieved, and at ease.

Fast-forwarding the whole set of actions, it ended in less than 5 minutes, and then Li Jing took off his socks and wiped his hands.

The man dumped the vegetables and rice into the trash can in the kitchen, looked at his watch, put on a white coat, rubber gloves and a mask, picked up a box of tissues and walked to the basement.
