Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

An Xiaohai was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat, but he still tried his best to control his breathing and body.

To escape tonight's predicament, we must not disturb anyone.

An Xiaohai is currently in the latrine area of ​​his cell, where a low wall has been built to preserve a pitiful amount of personal privacy. It was after lights out that Liu Jun dragged An Xiaohai here and broke two of his ribs.

An Xiaohai gripped the low wall and peered out. The cell was quiet; apart from the soft snoring, there was no other sound.

Six beds were arranged in a row in the cell:

The bed closest to the door belongs to Wu Guanhai.

Wu Guanhai was in his thirties and looked like an honest farmer, but An Xiaohai knew that Wu Guanhai was not simple at all; he was the real boss in this cell.

The second bed belongs to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun, twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, was burly and had a fierce appearance. He was rumored to be the top henchman of a man outside called Brother Yun, and the reason he was in here was because he had crippled someone outside.

The third bed belongs to Liu Jiang.

Liu Jiang is around 30 years old, cold and aloof, rarely causing trouble, but no one dares to mess with him, including prison guards; his identity is very mysterious.

The fourth bed belonged to Wang Bulai.

Wang Bulai was young and short, less than 1.6 meters tall, looking like a junior high school student. But this did not stop him from doing evil. It is said that he was the leader of a small gang outside.

The fifth bed belongs to Peng Yuangui.

Peng Yuangui, 25 years old, is from Shatoujiao Village. He is timid and cowardly, making people want to bully him. His cellmates boss him around, and he always accepts it passively.

An Xiaohai knew in his heart that Peng Yuangui was not as weak as he appeared on the surface. Only when he lowered his head would a hint of imperceptible violence flash in his eyes.

Of course, a truly weak person would not be in this cell.

An Xiaohai could see Peng Yuangui's violent gaze because he was often knocked to the ground, causing his line of sight to be lowered.

We can ignore everyone else for now. To escape this predicament tonight, the one we absolutely must deal with is Liu Jun, who is sleeping in the second bed!

An Xiaohai looked up at the moonlight outside the iron bars on the window above him and estimated that it was about one or two o'clock in the morning. He had about two more hours to go.

An Xiaohai remembers clearly that Liu Jun poked him with a toothbrush around 4:30 or 5 a.m.

This time is easy to calculate.

An Xiaohai was already on the verge of death from Liu Jun's beating. After being stabbed, he was too weak to struggle and groaned in pain for more than half an hour until he was discovered by the prison guards and sent to the hospital when he got up.

What to do?!

Many thoughts flashed through An Xiaohai's mind.

Calling the prison guards now is definitely not going to work. As soon as An Xiaohai speaks, before the guards arrive, Liu Jun will have plenty of time to deal with him.

Moreover, the incident hasn't even happened yet. Even if the prison guards arrive in time and take An Xiaohai away from the cell for medical treatment due to his rib injury, it will only delay the time of injury. He might be in even worse shape when he returns.

Even more critically, this would be tantamount to reminding the mastermind behind the scenes that he had already been discovered.

Ask his fellow inmates for help? Impossible. If they were willing to help him, they wouldn't have let him groan in agony by the toilet for so long.

A counterattack? Is it possible? It's possible, it absolutely is!

An Xiaohai's eyes flickered rapidly. As the saying goes, after the worst comes the best. When you reach the most desperate situation, there is often a kind of hope in it!

An Xiaohai's eyes narrowed quickly. He had to fight back; this was the best solution of all options!

However, if we wait until Liu Jun gets up before we fight back, we will definitely have no chance. But now, there is still a chance!

An Xiaohai withdrew his gaze from Liu Jun, moved his body to lean against the wall, closed his eyes and began to try to recover his strength, his mind also working quickly.

It won't be easy to turn the tables on Liu Jun.

Given An Xiaohai's current condition, a direct confrontation is definitely not realistic. The only chance is to take advantage of Liu Jun's current sleep to launch a counterattack and completely incapacitate him.

It won't be easy to do that either, but if we can find the toothbrush that Liu Jun used to stab us, things might turn around!

An Xiaohai began to recall everything that happened on that night 30 years ago.

Since An Xiaohai was stabbed so severely, the prison was bound to investigate. The investigation results were later released: An Xiaohai and Liu Jun had a quarrel because of snoring while sleeping, which led to a physical altercation.

During the fight, Liu Jun fell to the ground and inadvertently saw a toothbrush hidden under Wu Guanhai's bed. He grabbed it and stabbed it into An Xiaohai's body.

So that toothbrush belongs to Wu Guanhai!

As for why Wu Guanhai sharpened it so much, his explanation was that it was for self-defense.

Fighting and possessing weapons were commonplace in prisons full of serious offenders. Although Liu Jun and Wu Guanhai were both punished, their punishments were not severe, so much so that they were released much earlier than An Xiaohai.

These claims may sound absurd and ridiculous, but that's what the prison authorities believe.

In the eyes of most prison guards, since those locked up here are not good people anyway, if they don't behave, they might die, so be it. It's better to avoid trouble and close the case as soon as possible.

That toothbrush should be hidden under Wu Guanhai's bed board now!

An Xiaohai opened his eyes.

While it's impossible to confirm whether this statement is accurate, this is An Xiaohai's last chance.

An Xiaohai didn't dare waste too much time. No one could be sure of Liu Jun's current condition; this guy could suddenly attack and hurt someone at any moment.

We need to hurry.

An Xiaohai found a position that would avoid touching his right ribs as much as possible, and slowly and carefully moved out from inside the low wall of the toilet.

The extreme tension made An Xiaohai's whole body tremble slightly. The pain from his broken ribs seemed to have lessened considerably. An Xiaohai understood that this was due to the endorphins in his body taking effect.

An Xiaohai climbed out of the toilet, bypassed his and Peng Yuangui's beds, and crawled under Wang Bulai's bed.

The shadow cast by the iron bed gave An Xiaohai a strange sense of security, which calmed his tense mood a little.

No one seemed to notice An Xiaohai's actions. The cell remained deathly silent, and even the snoring that usually filled the room suddenly disappeared.

An Xiaohai felt his hair stand on end!

Peng Yuangui and Wang Bulai are the ones who snore while sleeping, and it's normal for their snoring to suddenly stop. But it's a bit abnormal when both of them suddenly stop snoring at the same time!

An Xiaohai held his breath, waiting for the snoring to start again.

It might have been just a short while, but it felt like an eternity to An Xiaohai. Peng Yuangui's snoring finally resumed, but Wang Bulai above him remained eerily quiet.

Wang Bulai must have already woken up. He also sensed that An Xiaohai had climbed under his bed. Unsure of An Xiaohai's purpose, Wang Bulai couldn't help but feel nervous.

An Xiaohai exhaled and began to crawl under Liu Jun's bed next door.

The only way to put Wang Bu at ease is to quickly tell him that you have no ill intentions towards him.

An Xiaohai is gambling that the gambling king Bu Lai is not in cahoots with Liu Jun and his group.

An Xiaohai's gamble paid off. As he entered Liu Jun's bed, Wang Bulai's soft snoring began again.

An Xiaohai closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and the first hurdle was cleared!

When An Xiaohai opened his eyes again, the toothbrush that had ruined his life was right in front of him!

It wasn't under Wu Guanhai's bed at all; it was under Liu Jun's bed! It was right near the pillow, within Liu Jun's reach!
