Prisoners of death (2)

Instead of being shot down on Earth, in space. I found no motivation within myself to die for some unknown reason in some unknown environment. I sat quietly for a while and asked, how long is this expedition?

About a year, six months to go, another six months to come back.

I was a little encouraged the first time. A year or six months is a long time for someone who dies in two weeks, even though it is the lonely, friendless, lonely atmosphere of space. But my enthusiasm was completely extinguished when I heard the man's next words. He said, you will be put to sleep at the beginning of the journey, and you will wake up at the destination. I don't know what will happen to you there, but for some reason, you will die, and your body will be brought back to earth.

I had no curiosity about what to do with my dead body, the man fell silent when he saw my face. I said that means although I will die after about six months, there is no point in me not being alive after I am put to sleep. So my survival will end as soon as the campaign starts.

can say

When will the campaign begin?

Exactly one week later.

Hearing this makes me moody for a very natural reason. With a lot of difficulties, I kept my voice normal and said, You may not know how precious time becomes to someone after ordering a death sentence. I still have two weeks, why should I half it?

The man glanced around the room and said slowly, "The way you live, there shouldn't be much difference between a week and two weeks."

I looked at him coldly without saying a word. How can people say such heartless things? I hate to say anything to the man. Hall, I spat loudly on the floor and moved to the corner. The man took a step forward and said, although your life will be reduced, your quality of life will be greatly increased.

mean?

If you agree, you will be allowed to stay out of jail for a week as you wish.

The blood in my chest rose, can I live like a free person for a whole week? Not a single sky within the four walls of the prison, outside, the vast sky on the long seashore? People, their joys and sorrows, laughter and tears are close to seven-seven days?

Let me know now if you agree.

right now?

yes

These seven days I can live like a completely free person.

yes

What if I ran away? And if I never come back to you?

This was the first time I saw the man smile, and to be honest, he looked like a very kind man with a smile. "You'll be back," the man said, not attempting to hide his smile.

If not come?

Traction applied to your body will bring you back.

Traction is a type of miniature electronic pulse generator. It is injected into the body. Mixing with the blood, it can settle in any part of the body. If one knows the vibrational spectrum of a person's brain, it is possible to completely control it with this traction. I had heard the name Trakyoshan, but never heard it used on anyone. The news that it would be used on me terrifies me, I said dryly. I will always be watched.

No, that's not true. The man nodded and said, you will be allowed to live freely. Only six hours before the spacecraft's departure will the shuttle be launched to bring you back. You don't have to do that if you come by yourself.

What guarantees does he have?

No, there is no guarantee. But I'm telling you, you have to take my word for it.

I believed him.

I was weighed, every part of my body was photographed, and blood pressure and breathing stability were measured. Blood circulation speed, brain waves and the relationship of those waves to emotions were discovered. Measurements of vision and hearing were taken. All parts of the body liver, lungs, heart and kidneys were taken by the reflection of sound waves. The body's rate of metabolism was determined by mixing the radioactive material with the blood. My blood type and neuron count were measured.

Finally, a tiny tracheostomy was inserted into my body.
