What Lecter is passionate about and what he wants to do must not be a good thing. Verak did not speak, but after thinking about it, he felt that he now has a certain degree of decision-making power, and maybe he can try to avoid many unnecessary casualties: "...let me think about it.
."
"It has to be big enough. It's a festival and everyone should be able to participate." Lecter was just joking at first. He thought that as a member of the prisoners and knowing him so well, Verak would not let him go crazy.
Yugi was the one who made suggestions, but Verak was actually willing to help him think about it. He was curious about what advice Verak could give.
"Peace Festival..." Verak whispered to himself, recalling how this festival was usually 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.
"It must fit the theme, and don't make me look like I'm carrying personal goods." Lecter shamelessly asked Verak, trying in vain to conceal his true purpose.
Conventional celebrations were hard to please Lecter. Verak pondered over what kind of activities would satisfy Lecter while causing as little harm to other prisoners as possible.
While thinking randomly, the scene in his mind came to mind when Carmine took him to the stadium to watch a football match when he was in Lezein. Sports are such intensely competitive activities that consume a lot of physical energy, so it may not be feasible.
"How about a football game?" Verak suggested, "And the size of the square is almost the same as a football field."
"Football game?" Lecter hadn't thought about sports. "Sounds pretty interesting."
"I think it's not bad. Think about it." Verak tied the bandage and put on the prison uniform. "It's big enough, with enough people participating, and we just have a suitable venue."
Lecter sat down and began to think about how football could introduce his style of play.
"Football is now popular in Welland, and it is also becoming more and more popular in Bressy. If we can hold a football match, it would be very exciting." Verak sat on the hospital bed and advised Lecter to adopt this opinion.
"Football is indeed very interesting. The prisoners and prison guards can each form a team." Lecter nodded slightly, "There are also footballs in the prison guards' entertainment equipment room on the second floor. You can also make two ball frames at will. It is completely feasible. But
, 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 told me sternly not to plan as if you were carrying personal goods." Verak wanted to roll his eyes at Lecter, "You could have said no earlier."
"My best friend, as long as you understand me, you will know what to do." Lecter smiled brightly.
Verak thought for a while and came up with an idea that would benefit the prisoners: "Since it is a competition, it is best to have rewards, so that everyone will work harder. Therefore, you can set an attractive enough reward for the prison guards and prisoners respectively.
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 agreed with Verak's opinion, and turned around to express his thoughts, "If the prison guards can go on stage with batons and have the right to attack prisoners, then
It’s more fun.”
In this way, what was originally a fair game between both sides would turn into unilateral violence by the prison guards. Verak found it difficult to accept: "What about the prisoners? Can they fight back?"
"Of course not." Lecter said matter-of-factly, looking at Verak as if he were a fool, "How can the prisoner fight back?"
"Then there is no suspense about this game." Verak shook his head.
"That's right..." Lecter began to supplement the game system again to fill in the omissions of the new gameplay, "Then the prisoners can be replaced unlimitedly, so that's good."
Lecter's newly added rules seem to be for the sake of the prisoners, but in fact they are more beneficial to the prison guards, or to his violence. After all, according to the rules of the football game, each team can only play eleven players, and the prison guards have the right to attack prisoners with batons.
, the eleven prisoners will be knocked down soon, and the game will be suspended. The prisoners can have unlimited substitutions, which is equivalent to the prison guards. Lecter can attack unlimitedly. Anyway, if one is defeated, a new one will be replaced.
.
"It's too unfair." Verak, who was deeply influenced by "The Theory of Equality", could not accept Lecter's disrespectful game. "The prisoners are not fools. They will not come up to you with weapons, nor will they come to you."
There will be someone willing to replace the injured player."
"I think what you just said makes sense. As long as the reward I give is big enough, they will come here." Lecter immediately thought of the rewards for the prisoners to win the game. "For example, as long as they can
If they win, I can give them the opportunity to write letters to their relatives and friends outside."
After Lecter revealed 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 months and years will rush to participate in the competition.
"Will all prisoners receive this reward?" Verak asked.
Even he himself cannot refuse this reward, and other prisoners will definitely agree to it. In this case, all he can do is to win it for everyone.
"Except you and Keating, all other letters will be sent out after strict review." Lecter said, "Can you understand this? Your status is too special. If you are equal, gold or the like
If important information is passed on, I will get into trouble."
"Understood." Verak has never expected to be able to send a letter to the outside world in his own capacity, but if others have this opportunity, they may be able to take his with them. "Can you do it? This is terrible.
It’s not a trivial matter, you have to ask Adel about it, right?”
"Don't provoke me. I'm bound to get the position of warden. It's nothing. Of course, I can't let them send everything. 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 prisoners crazy, "How about it? Is this reward big enough?"
Verak nodded: "Big enough."
"Then there should be no problem. October 20th is just a few days away. I have to organize it as soon as possible." Lecter also wanted to inform his father about the new clues to Jin, so he didn't talk to Verak. "I
Let’s go now, see you tomorrow.”
"See you tomorrow." Verak followed and left together. The two of them separated at the stairs, one went upstairs and the other went downstairs.
After being escorted back to the cell, Verak couldn't wait to tell Keating about the football match and the rewards, and then talked about the implementation of the trial plan.
"Then we'll see what action Adel will take after hearing the news." Keating, on the contrary to Verak, first talked about the backup plan, "No matter what, tomorrow at the latest, there is no hope of the backup plan being carried out. It will become clear.”
"Yes, I hope Adel hasn't broken up with Lecter." Verak said.
"What do you think about sending letters?" As usual, Keating did not express his opinion first, waiting for Verak to offer his opinion first.
Verak had already thought about it a lot on the way back, so he didn't hesitate when he answered: "If the prisoners win the game, Lecter will really fulfill his promise, and it will be the best opportunity for me and the Equality Association to contact each other. Although he explained 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 I send the letter, it has to be on the 12th of the next month. On the other hand, this is also possible. It was Lecter's test of me."
"That's right." Keating did not add new opinions or refute after Verak finished speaking, which meant that Verak thought the same thing as him, "This is a reward even higher than life for other prisoners, but for We seem somewhat dispensable."
"If the jailbreak fails and we can't get out within a month, even if this is Lecter's test of me, I'm afraid I can only take the risk to contact the Peace Association." Verak sighed, this reward time The click card is very good, and it doesn't have much effect on him. It can only be used as a remedy after the jailbreak fails.
"Well, it's a helpless move. It's better not to use it." Keating took out the intelligence paper that Verak gave him during the break. "I took a rough look at the contents, including the prison guards on duty at various positions. As well as duty hours, and some simple information from some prison guards.”
Verak took the four or five pages of the intelligence paper and read it carefully one by one: "It's so detailed...it feels like all the prison guards have been included. It seems that Dawn still knows a lot, but we don't have our plan yet." For substantial progress, he is unwilling to cooperate in depth, otherwise he will be a big help to us."
"It takes time to gain his approval." Keating was very open-minded. "There is no need to contact him so deliberately to ask for cooperation. His personality will be very resistant to such people."
"Understood." Verak also figured out the general way of getting along with Dawn, so it hasn't caused any resentment from Dawn yet.
Keating is very satisfied with Verak's growth during this period. 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 improve it quickly." I can't think of anything better than what you said."
"Thank you, teacher." Verak heard that Keating was sincerely praising and approving him. This recognition was his biggest gain after being locked up here for so long.
"Think about the football match during the Peace Festival on October 20th, and see if there is anything else we can use." Giving Verak a little more confidence, Keating, who looked amiable, continued to discuss other things.
"Okay, Lecter has adopted my opinion this time, and I should be able to decide the details of this game to a certain extent." Verak also felt that this was a good opportunity.
The two energetic people talked for a whole noon. At two o'clock, Verak, who was thinking brightly and had many new ideas, was taken to the work area by the prison guard to work. Not long after working, a prison guard came down from the second floor to find him. asked him: "Is it number 8196, Thomas Cleese?"
"Yes." Verak stopped what he was doing, "What's wrong?"
"Come with me, the warden is looking for you," the prison guard said.
Verak was surprised and happy. He didn't expect Adel to take action so quickly. It seems that the golden clues reported by Noon and Lecter really started to stir up the storm: "...Okay, then I'll leave this to you Ross first.
."
"You..." Ross didn't know why the warden, who was usually invisible but had a reputation throughout the prison, suddenly wanted to see Verak, "Be careful."
"Don't worry." Verak patted Ross on the shoulder and followed the prison guard out of the work area to Adel's office on the second floor.
When the warden Adel saw him, he revealed only one signal, that is, the conflict between them was deep, and it was not an unresolved issue such as money, power, and sex. This gave them a key foundation for their backup plan.
.
When he came to the second floor of Demans Prison for the second time, Verak became somewhat familiar with it. He quickly passed through the entertainment area of the prison guards and came to the corridor of the office area. This time Lecter also learned the news.
At the door of the warden's office, he crossed his arms and waited for Verak to pass by: "Don't worry, he can't do anything to you."
"Yeah." After hearing Lecter's instructions, Verak just responded.
The purpose of his trip is to intensify the conflict between the two parties, and if he wants to intensify the conflict, he must provide some help to Adel, who currently seems to be on the weaker side, so that they can fight more and more fiercely and produce Verak, Ki
An opportunity that Ting can take advantage of.
"Waiting for your good news." After Verak passed by his eyes, Lecter said the last word and returned to the office.
After this period of cooperation, he has great confidence in Verak and knows that Adel has no means to defeat him.
"Warden, prisoner No. 8196, Thomas Chris has arrived." The prison guard knocked on the door to announce.
After hearing Adel say "come in" inside, the prison guard opened the door and let Verak in.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Adel." Having had the experience of dealing with him once, and knowing that Adel needed him in the current situation, Verak was no longer so reserved and nervous, and greeted Adel unhurriedly when he entered.
"Good afternoon, please take a seat." Adel, like last time, sat on the sofa in the living room where he had just entered, with an indifferent expression and a cold voice.
Verak sat on the sofa opposite Adel: "I was just working. I don't know why you called me over."
"There's no need to pretend to be stupid. You are a smart man and you must know the purpose of calling you, so I won't make any detours." Adel was as straightforward as ever, "I can give you better terms than Lecter.
, as long as you can give me the next golden clue."
"Tell me first what you can give me." Verak was not in a hurry to tell what Lecter had promised, and planned to listen to Adel first.
"Why don't you first tell me what you want to do that Lecter can't help you achieve." Adel did his job flawlessly, but asked about Verak.
