The two of them stood there in the public area in front of the newcors' building, chatting away without a care in the world. About 5 minutes later, just as Li Feng and Shen Yue were discussing what materials should be used to make axe handles, another person wearing a prison guard's uniform walked over from not too far away.
He had a slender figure and walked hurriedly, with five guns hanging from his waist. As he walked, he brought the wind with him, blowing his slightly long gray hair.
Upon seeing that Shen Yue was still standing safely outside the newcors' building, this new prison guard who had appeared seed to heave a huge sigh of relief.
Hearing the sound, Li Feng looked over. Upon seeing the newcor, his muscles, which had been relatively relaxed up to now, imdiately tensed up.
Shen Yue noticed Li Feng's actions. He seed to be very wary of this prison guard, completely different from his attitude when facing Lei Mien earlier.
She brought her gaze back. That prison guard, who Li Feng was very wary of, had already walked over to stand in front of her, and then... bowed deeply over 90 degrees.
"I'm terribly sorry, Ma'am! Because of Lei Mien's negligence, he actually brought you, who belongs in Building 1, to this lowly building. This is gross negligence in our managent! Lei Mien has now been fired and awaits your punishnt!"
Next to him, Li Feng's gaze changed instantly upon hearing the three words Building 1, no longer the sort of affectionate look at a future subordinate from earlier, but sothing more complicated.
Shen Yue blinked. "Any kind of punishnt is fine?"
"Yes! You can punish him however you want!"
Shen Yue thought for a mont, then said in all seriousness, "Let him die."
Upon hearing Shen Yue's answer, the prison guard's expression did not change at all. He remained extrely respectful. "Of course. To help you vent your anger, we will execute Lei Mien. May I ask if you'd like to do it yourself or if we should arrange a death performance? Also, do you have any preferred execution tools? Or specified thod of death?"
Hearing the prison guard rattling off a whole string of very detailed and earnest questions, Shen Yue realized that this person was not joking around.
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Li Feng, who had been very wary ever since earlier. She realized her sister must have done sothing when bringing her here.
That's right, her sister always kept her promises. Since she said she wouldn't let anyone bully her, she must have made full preparations, even though she was no longer here now.
Shen Yue's mood suddenly improved a little. She said to the prison guard still waiting for her reply, "I don't want to kill him anymore, just kick him in the stomach."
Upon hearing Shen Yue change her tune, the prison guard did not get angry. On the contrary, he smiled flatteringly. "Your kindness will bring you good fortune."
Then he made a "please" gesture in the direction he had co from earlier. "Please allow to take you to your place."
Shen Yue stood in place without moving. During the period of silence, the prison guard maintained that pose as if he had no awareness.
Not until Shen Yue took a step in the direction he was pointing did he stand up, maintaining a distance of three steps behind Shen Yue, reminding her from ti to ti, "Please turn left ahead."
"Watch your step."
"Do you need any servants brought in, Ma'am? I can arrange your servants in Building 2 or Building 5."
Servants?
Shen Yue shook her head.
The prison guard smiled again. "If you need servants, I can accompany you at any ti to select them from other buildings."
Now Shen Yue understood. So the unequal status between the 8 buildings that Lei Mien had told her about earlier was what he ant.
Lei Mien had also said one more thing - after the formal division of buildings, the contents of the handbook she held must not be made known to people from other buildings under any circumstances.
Shen Yue looked at the black cover handbook in her hand and casually opened it to read while walking.
Seeing Shen Yue's actions, the prison guard behind her reminded, "As a resident of Building 1, you are unlike ordinary prisoners and need not abide by the contents of the newcor handbook."
Shen Yue ignored him and continued to read the newcor handbook independently. However, she flipped through it very quickly - in the eyes of the prison guard, it just looked like she was casually taking a peek out of curiosity.
After quickly skimming through every page at an extrely fast speed, Shen Yue threw the newcor handbook to the prison guard behind her and asked, "Are there any other rules I need to follow?"
The corner of the prison guard's mouth curved into a perfect smile. "As a resident of Building 1, you don't need to follow any rules. You can even make rules."
"Building 1 can kill people at will?"
"Of course. Building 1 has no restraints."
Shen Yue nodded. "I want to see the rules for the other seven buildings."
"Of course. I'll prepare them for you right away."
As they continued walking, Shen Yue recalled the casual ntion of a building division battle by Li Feng earlier and asked, "How does Building 1 select its people?"
From the information Li Feng had provided, it seed newcors should stay in the newcors' building and go through a 3-month protection period, after which there would be a building division battle. Those with good performances in the battle would be picked by the various buildings, while those with poor performances seed destined for miserable lives.
But Building 1 didn't seem to need to follow this rule.
"The esteed guests of Building 1 are the providers of food and shelter for the Flightless Bird. During your stay in Building 1, no matter what you want, we will try our best to satisfy you."
From the prison guard's words, Building 1 was clearly not like the treatnt of regular prisoners, but the emphasis of this sentence was obvious as well: During your stay in Building 1.
Once you leave Building 1, all those privileges belonging to Building 1 will no longer belong to you, and no one will know what fate awaits you. However, Shen Yue did not ask under what circumstances the inmates of Building 1 would leave Building 1. She did not need to know because she had absolute faith in her sister.
All along the way, the prison guard followed behind Shen Yue, also attracting the gazes of prisoners they passed. But unlike the unbridled ridicule from earlier, this ti, wherever Shen Yue walked past, no sound could be heard.
Such was the treatnt for the inmates of Building 1.
After walking a bit longer, they finally arrived at their destination. Even though Shen Yue had never been to Building 1, she could still easily discern it.
The reason was simple. Compared to the rectangular prison buildings they had passed along the way, Building 1 possessed an air of romance and nobility with its high entrance hall, majestic front door, circular bay windows and stone corner layouts, exuding luxury and extravagance.
This did not look like a prison. Instead, it was more like a high-class hotel.
"Your assigned floor is on the 34th floor. The lady sharing it with you is the princess of Musa Helite. This is your identity card. Once recognized by the elevator, it will take you directly to the 34th floor. My number is 14. You can call through the call function on your earpiece if you need anything."
Shen Yue took the card and got on the elevator, then directly closed the door and left.
How long would she have to stay in this prison to see the outco? She was already eager to go find her sister.
Shen Yue still clearly rembered that on the day Shen Hui had died, she had shed tears for the first ti in her life. "In my whole life, there has only been pain. Why didn't you co sooner?" Pain... She too had had her share of it.
The elevator slowly rose and finally stopped on the 34th floor.
As the elevator door opened, what appeared before Shen Yue was... a sexy bombshell beauty whose upper body was only covered by a strapless bra, whose bottom wore a towel, and whose feet donned a pair of slippers.
Showing no surprise when seeing Shen Yue appear, the beauty casually waved in greeting, "Looking for the bathroom, right? It’s on the left side of the 34th floor."
After speaking, she scratched her chest while shuffling away with her slippers to the room to the front right.
Shen Yue had spent 3 years picking up trash on Kunlun Mountain and 3 years killing fish at Great China. She had thought her heart was as cold as the mountain snow and her knife. But up to now, when she saw that princess, her mind slowly raised a question mark.
Princess?
Do foreign princesses wear slippers?
