Chapter 168

Tang Yi heard Shen Yue's cold words, and his originally bright smile immediately collapsed. He ignored Number 14 behind him, as if unaware of the impending danger, and just looked at Shen Yue and asked in a low voice, “You don’t want to see me? Are you still angry?”

Shen Yue shook her head and began to change the subject, “I just didn't sleep well.”

In fact, Shen Yue slept quite soundly. Expensive mattresses are worth the money for good reason. Only after experiencing a hard board bed can one know that a soft mattress is one of the greatest inventions in human history.

But Shen Yue would not tell others that she slept well. The night was originally the best time for some people in the prison to complete tasks. If she told others that she slept very soundly, it would be tantamount to letting them come to take her life in the middle of the night.

When Tang Yi heard that Shen Yue hadn't slept well, he became even more nervous, "How could you not sleep well? Did you have nightmares? Or are you afraid and can't fall asleep?"

"I don't know, I just didn't sleep well and woke up easily."

Nonsense.

Tang Yi believed it and seriously exclaimed, "I also had a period of time when I couldn't fall asleep easily. Later, every time I couldn't fall asleep, I would go kill a few people, and I could slowly fall asleep. Especially when planning to kill those important figures, I often had to think more, which also made it easier to fall asleep."

As Tang Yi spoke, he stared at Shen Yue thoughtfully, "Do you want to try my method? Not being able to sleep well is quite painful. I know how this feels."

Shen Yue was just thinking of finding an excuse to get rid of Tang Yi, but what Tang Yi said gave her another possibility.

Shen Yue decided to test the waters.

She pretended to be lost in thought. After a while, she looked at Tang Yi again with some confusion in her eyes, but her words revealed cruel innocence, "But I don't know how to kill anyone, so I can't use your method."

As soon as Tang Yi heard this, it was clear Shen Yue was actually interested. The corners of his mouth that had sagged earlier curved up again. He began to encourage Shen Yue, "It's okay. I didn't know how to kill anyone at first either. I was even afraid of the sight of blood. But no matter what, everything can be learned slowly. I heard you don't need to go to Building 8 recently. I’ve also completed my shifts this month. I can be with you all the time to teach you!"

Shen Yue's drooping eyelids trembled slightly. What Tang Yi had just said revealed some information to her.

Sure enough, just as Si Chengyou had said, there were no secrets in this prison.

Number 14, who had been standing quietly on the side, frowned heavily when he heard this. He was about to interrupt Tang Yi when he heard Shen Yue agree, "Okay." Number 14 opened his mouth to say something but didn't say anything after all.

He seemed to have no right to interfere with the path Shen Yue chose. All he could do was accompany Shen Yue so that she wouldn't be alone.

After hearing Shen Yue's answer, Tang Yi smiled as purely as a child. Although the simulated weather in the prison today was cloudy, Tang Yi's presence could only make people feel warm sunshine.

But the more so, the more vigilant Shen Yue was. She instinctively felt that Tang Yi was not as he seemed.

"You do have talent to be able to feel the things I hide. That must be why you can't sleep, fearing too many things while being powerless yourself." Tang Yi seemed to be talking about Shen Yue, but also didn't seem to be talking only about Shen Yue.

"If you can make your body get used to danger and react, you may be able to sleep well. Believing in your body's power to relax is also the secret to falling asleep at ease." Tang Yi muttered to himself while looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.

Shen Yue didn't say anything either, waiting for Tang Yi to continue.

After a while, Tang Yi clapped his hands and turned to ask Shen Yue, "The people in Building 4 each give off different killing intent. If you get used to them, you definitely won't be afraid anymore."

Shen Yue didn't comment on this. She just asked, "Can you go into Building 4 whenever you want?"

She remembered the rules said different buildings' private areas could not be entered casually.

Except for the inmates and guards of Building 1.

"No." Tang Yi answered very quickly, "Entering Building 4 casually means death."

He had the same bright smile on his face as before. But this time, Shen Yue felt that the maliciousness mixed in was gone, leaving only pure joy, "But Building 4 is my territory. I can let in whoever I want."

"So, are you willing to come?" At this point, Tang Yi was like a child who had gotten a new toy, eager to invite his playmate to his house to play together.

Shen Yue didn't hesitate or fear. It was as if Tang Yi was talking not about going to Building 4, but just an ordinary place.

She nodded slightly, "I'm willing to go."

"Then let's go now. I'll have them gather right away!" Tang Yi looked very excited, and Shen Yue could feel that his excitement was very pure at this moment.

But that didn't mean Tang Yi was safe. The danger with Tang Yi was his volatile mood swings. Shen Yue had experienced Tang Yi's sudden maliciousness more than once.

Often his words would be perfectly fine one moment, then the next moment a careless remark could get you stabbed.

Nevertheless, Shen Yue still felt she wanted to understand the mentality of Building 4's people, so she was willing to follow Tang Yi.

After all, dealing with Tang Yi was quite simple. Just going along with him would do.

Shen Yue started walking to Building 4 with Tang Yi, but Number 14 grabbed her hand. Shen Yue looked back at him puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

When Number 14 met Shen Yue's indifferent eyes, he suddenly felt as if something was blocking his heart.

He worried about Shen Yue's safety, yet she didn't seem to care about her life at all.

"Building 4 is very dangerous." Number 14 used to be an inmate. He knew best what kind of people were in Building 4.

And naturally Shen Yue knew too. Otherwise, when she was in Building 1, she wouldn't have made the rule forbidding Building 4 inmates from appearing before her. That was exactly why Number 14 was angry. He was angry Shen Yue didn't cherish herself and put herself in danger.

Shen Yue also felt Number 14's abnormal mood. She tiptoed and stroked Number 14's head with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, "I know, but I have you."

Number 14 was instantly stunned, not even knowing when Shen Yue had struggled free from his hand.

By the time he came back to his senses, Shen Yue and Tang Yi were already walking ahead, chatting.

"You stroked his head just now. I want that too!"

Shen Yue's voice was flat. She didn't seem very interested in Tang Yi's coquetry, "You'll have to crouch down a bit. I can't reach otherwise."

"Number 14 didn't have to crouch down!"

"....Whatever you want."

"Okay, I crouched down. Stroke me too."

"Done."

Number 14 quickly caught up with Shen Yue. His expression had returned to normal, but a careful look would reveal his ear tips slightly flushed red.

After the three of them left, Danni La walked out from not far away and slowly slumped down against the wall to sit on the ground.

Just now she had accidentally met the eyes of Building 4's person in charge. That feeling was like being entangled by a poisonous snake, unable to breathe at all.

Why did Shen Yue always like playing with such dangerous people? Too scary.

Danni La felt she had endured too much that a great beauty like her at her age should not have had to endure today and needed to rest well.

But...Shen Yue was so powerful.

She could actually stroke that kind of person's head.
