The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Xie Xuan'an sat upright at the table, his eyes firm and focused, trying to make some sense of this seemingly absurd situation.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door without warning. Xie Xuan'an was startled and raised his voice to ask vigilantly, "Who?"

A low and suppressed voice came from the other side of the door: "It's me, I'm here to bring you food."

Xie Xuan walked to the door cautiously and peeked out through the peephole. He saw a fully armed man, whose face was covered tightly by a mask and a hat, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally opened the door slowly.

The man walked into the room quickly, put down the food hurriedly, and spoke very quickly.

"Don't ask too many questions, just eat quickly. This place is not safe. Something big might happen at night."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Xie Xuanan was full of suspicion, staring at the food in front of him, and fell into deep thought. At this time, his body was extremely weak, and the desire for food was like a surging tide, hitting his heart wave after wave.

His stomach cramped from time to time due to long-term hunger, and his dry lips cracked due to lack of water.

That small piece of stale-looking bread and slightly turbid water were far from enough for him who was in urgent need of nutrition and water.

However, his reason reminded him that this food might have hidden secrets. He knew that he was in danger at the moment, and every seemingly well-intentioned action might hide an unknown conspiracy.

"Eat? Maybe it can temporarily relieve this unbearable hunger and give me some strength to resist, but if the food is poisonous, then there will be no hope at all.

Don't eat? With my weak body condition now, how long can I hold on? "Xie Xuan'an was in extreme entanglement and painful struggle.

His eyes moved back and forth between the food and the closed door, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead without him noticing.

The feeling of hunger continued to torment him, causing his hands to reach out for food involuntarily several times, but he would shrink back every time just before touching it.

"No, I can't take such a risk. But if I don't eat, I'm afraid I really won't have the strength to resist..."

Xie Xuan'an's thoughts were in a tangled mess, and the entanglement in his heart made him feel extremely tormented.

Just when Xie Xuan'an was in extreme confusion, the pinhole camera suddenly flashed. His heart skipped a beat and he instantly realized that his every move was under close surveillance by others.

Then, there was another rapid knock on the door. Xie Xuanan once again became alert and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, the butler." A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Xie Xuanan opened the door, and the housekeeper said expressionlessly: "If you are worried, you can cook by yourself, and we will provide you with ingredients."

Xie Xuan'an walked towards the kitchen with a nervous mood. The kitchen was spacious and luxurious, and all kinds of cooking utensils were available.

He picked up the knife, and an idea flashed through his mind: "Why not rush out with this cutlery and fight?"

But he quickly rejected this idea.

"How can I break through all the obstacles with just this small knife? It's too unrealistic."

While he was cooking, he was always paying attention to the movements around him. Even the slightest sound would make his nerves tense instantly.

Xie Xuan'an was washing vegetables carefully, thinking about how to deal with this complicated situation next.

Suddenly, the kitchen faucet burst without warning, and the strong water pressure caused water to splash out like a fountain.

In an instant, Xie Xuan'an was drenched by the water. His clothes, which had been soaked in sea water all night and were not very dry, were now soaked again, making him look very embarrassed.

The housekeeper and the maintenance worker came quickly and said, "You'd better change your clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Xie Xuan kept his body steady and remained unmoved.

The housekeeper had no choice but to turn on all the surveillance cameras in the room and show Xie Xuan'an that except for the fitting room, all other places were under surveillance. He also solemnly promised that he would keep a close eye on the surveillance cameras and would not let anyone approach the fitting room while he was changing clothes.

Xie Xuan'an thought to himself: "Although he promised me this, I am worried that someone will take advantage of me changing clothes and suddenly attack me.

However, if they really wanted to kill me, they would have done it long ago, instead of letting me stay here seemingly safe and sound."

Although full of doubts in his heart, Xie Xuan'an still decided to change his clothes with hesitation.

After all, if you catch a cold after wearing wet clothes for so long, it would be terrible.

He went to the fitting room and changed as quickly as possible, remaining extremely nervous the entire time and listening carefully to any movement around him.

After changing, he looked around very vigilantly, clenched his hands tightly, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door of the fitting room.

He first carefully stuck his head out to observe, making sure there was nothing unusual, and then walked out cautiously.

After the worker repaired the water pipe and left, Xie Xuan continued to cook. During this time, the housekeeper wanted to intervene and help, but Xie Xuan quickly refused:

"No need." His eyes were fixed on the butler, full of vigilance.

The housekeeper felt a little guilty when he looked at her, and turned his head away. Xie Xuan'an ignored him and continued to cook, but he was still thinking about the housekeeper's strange behavior.

Xie Xuanan casually cooked a simple dish and began to eat it voraciously. Although he was not sure whether there was any problem with the seasoning, he always felt that the food he cooked was relatively more reassuring.

Just as he was enjoying his meal, the butler came in again, seeming to say something but stopping himself.

Xie Xuanan stopped what he was doing and stared at the housekeeper with a vigilant look in his eyes:

"What's the matter?"

The butler hesitated for a moment and said:

"My master asked me to ask you, what have you considered?"

Xie Xuan'an frowned and asked in confusion, "What are you considering? I don't know anything, how can I consider it?"

The butler sighed helplessly.

"You should think about it again." After saying that, he turned and left.

Xie Xuan'an's doubts grew stronger. What kind of unknown secrets were hidden in this mysterious place, these strange people, and these incoherent words?

But at this moment, he decided to fill his stomach first, recover some strength, and then think about countermeasures.

Xie Xuan'an ate two more dishes. After finishing his meal, he finally felt a little relaxed.

The butler took him back to his original room and gave him some strange clothes, similar in style to those worn by others.

The housekeeper looked serious, handed him a schedule, and said stiffly: "From today on, you must strictly abide by our schedule here."

The schedule clearly stipulates that we must get up on time at 7 o'clock every day, go to see the "sun" at 8 o'clock, and praise the "sun" at 10 o'clock. After that, we can go back to the room and move freely.

12 o'clock is lunch time. You can choose to have the chef deliver meals to your room, or you can cook by yourself. This is a special treatment given to Xie Xuan'an.

At 2pm the meeting and praise of the "Sun" continued until 4:pm.

Sometimes there will be random small activities from 7 to 8 pm. You can arrange your bedtime freely every night, but you need to recite scriptures to praise the "sun" and you can't make mistakes, otherwise you will be deducted points.

Everyone’s initial score is 0 points. Good performance will result in 1 to 2 extra points. When the accumulated score reaches 50 points, the salary can be increased.

The house is very large and can accommodate nearly a thousand people, each with a room.

The 6th floor is the residence of the "Sun", and the place to praise the "Sun" is located in the independently developed church on the 1st floor.

Xie Xuan'an held the schedule, frowned, full of doubts and resistance, and asked:

"What on earth is going on? Why would I do such a thing?"

The butler responded expressionlessly: "This is the rule here, you cannot disobey it."

Although Xie Xuan'an was indignant, he also knew that it was not appropriate to act impulsively at this time. He decided to pretend to be obedient and then look for an opportunity to escape.

That night, Xie Xuan'an lay on the bed, his mind in a mess. He looked at the five thick books and only remembered some of the contents in one book for the time being.

All of them are some difficult-to-understand ancient poems and verses praising the sun.

The man with golden eyes,

The power is so great.

But he was always curious.

What is the purpose of the sun?
