Chapter 136

After Shen Yue left Building 1, she was led by an unfamiliar prison guard to the place where she would be living next - the Newcomer Building.

This was not her first time coming to the Newcomer Building, but last time she was taken away very quickly. This time she would be spending three months in the Newcomer Building.

The prison guard brought Shen Yue to Room 404. After entering Shen Yue's identity information, he pushed her in and threw her a small black booklet, explaining briefly, "Starting today you'll be living here. In three months you'll participate in the split building battle to decide your placement." He continued, "This booklet contains the rules you need to follow while living in the Newcomer Building. Take a look."

After speaking, he left without waiting for Shen Yue's response, as if she was a hot potato.

Shen Yue looked at the black booklet in her hand without much interest. She had already memorized the contents on the first day she entered prison.

It was a 6-person cell but she was the only one in it. Shen Yue was not surprised by this.

Even though she had left Building 1, people on the outside would still ensure her safety to the maximum extent possible because of the secret she held.

The inmates of Building 1 were cautious, and the inmates of the other buildings had also seen to varying extents the consequences of breaking rules. They would not court death randomly. However, the inmates of the Newcomer Building had too much uncertainty and considered few things. There was no telling if they would beat Shen Yue to death on a whim.

Considering these factors, Shen Yue ended up alone in her cell.

Although it was a 6-person room in the Newcomer Building, its area was less than a quarter of Shen Yue’s original bedroom.

This was the prison room outside Building 1, filled with the taste of hardship.

However, Shen Yue did not regret it. If she still stayed in Building 1, there would be no way for her to kill the person in power there.

What she currently possessed was the value that Shen Hui had left for her. However, the inmates of Building 1 were sorted by floors according to value. The person in power was on floor 36 while her value was only on floor 34.

That meant she could threaten to take her own life to get the chance to leave Building 1 but could not exchange her life for the life of the floor 36 power holder.

If she wanted to kill the person in power of Building 1, she first had to leave the value system of Building 1. This was just the first step. Shen Yue put down Ma Sha’s ashes, with no confusion in her eyes.

When she was in Building 1, Shen Yue did not have a concept of money, but now, money was the first thing she had to consider.

Money was needed for every aspect of prison life. The money each inmate had was converted into digital currency stored in their identity card. Shen Yue’s previous identity card had an endless amount of money, but now with her newcomer status, the card naturally only contained the initial balance.

The initial balance only allowed an inmate of Shen Yue’s appetite to barely maintain food and shelter for one month. If she did not find a way to earn money within the month, she would starve to death before even passing the protection period.

There was nothing free in prison, much less free lunches.

So Shen Yue prepared to go to Building 6 to earn some money.

Previously, Shen Yue had Number 14 bring her to Building 6 to learn for a long time. Now she could handle general injuries and illnesses with no problem.

Shen Yue walked out of her cell, intending to go to Building 6, but as soon as she stepped out, she was stopped by someone.

"Wow, you're the inmate who came from Building 1 right? You seem completely different from the other inmates. White dress, black hair, pretty like a doll, just expressionless. As expected of the high and mighty Building 1," a cheerful voice rang out, but her words were far from cheerful.

Shen Yue glanced at the woman lightly, immediately recognizing who she was based on the information she had seen.

Mo Aman.

A special assassin trained on a small island in the southeast.

She had an extremely ordinary face that could completely disappear into a crowd within a second. But paired with the smile on her face, it was enough to make people uncomfortable.

Unlike other assassins relying on their strong professional skills and various technologies to kill people, this assassin's personality traits were extremely prominent. She would often take advantage of her extremely ordinary face to get close to her target, then anger them at the fastest speed.

Once the target lost their reason, she would guide them step-by-step onto the traps she had laid out ahead of time.

She was an assassin who knew very well how to provoke others, completely different from her average face.

But at the same time, she was also good at disguising herself as anyone.

She could do it, she just didn't want to.

Shen Yue stared at Mo Aman without commenting on her malicious words. She just sincerely said, "Your expressions are exquisite." Mo Aman was slightly surprised at Shen Yue's response and was about to continue probing, but then she heard Shen Yue continue, "Whether it's your gaze or your smile, they can accurately apply pressure to arouse disgust, escalating it to anger."

Mo Aman raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat astonished that this expressionless woman could see through her tricks.

As expected, the person who voluntarily left Building 1 was very interesting.

Mo Aman gave up the idea of probing Shen Yue. Instead, she reminded, "You want to go out? I advise you not to. With your petite figure, as soon as you step out of the Newcomer Building, those burly men will rob you of all your money."

The money in every inmate's identity card could be voluntarily gifted.

Voluntarily gifted was an extremely ambiguous term. Some experienced inmates who ran out of money and didn't want to take on high-risk tasks would choose to forcibly snatch money from newcomers in the public area outside the Newcomer Building.

The Flightless Bird never lacked newcomers. To some extent, this was also considered another way to get rich.

The absolute protection of newcomers by the Newcomer Building was only limited to inside. They could not interfere with the public area outside.

The so-called newcomer protection period referred to the first three months where newcomers would not become mission targets.

That is, they were not allowed to be killed by other inmates.

However, it was not prohibited for newcomers to be harmed by other inmates in the public area.

Shen Yue nodded gently at Mo Aman. "Thank you for the reminder."

Then she walked away without looking back.

Not long after, she encountered another person, Si Chengyou.

Si Chengyou was the person in power of Building 5. Like the inmates of Building 1, his special status allowed him exemption from following some rules.

For example, ordinary inmates could not enter the Newcomer Building, otherwise they would be shot full of holes by machine guns.

But the people in power could.

It was said to facilitate the people in power of each building finding subordinates they wanted ahead of time. Of course, it might also be to conveniently find the toys they wanted.

Shen Yue did not plan to pay attention to Si Chengyou. To her, Si Chengyou was just a stranger she had seen a few times. She did not want a closer relationship with Si Chengyou herself, even though he seemed to have Ma Sha's trust.

She walked past Si Chengyou without glancing at him, but unexpectedly, Si Chengyou stopped her.

"Shen Yue, I have something to say to you."
