“I really don’t know. A person like you…” Maya didn’t ask the second half of the question. Instead, she explained to Yue Xin, “I originally wanted to avenge him, so I looked for the person in charge of Building 3 to buy information. In the end, I found out that the information about the person who did it and the person behind it was bought. One piece of information can only be sold to one person. As for the information about yesterday’s incident, no one knows except the person in charge of Building 3. At this point, my preliminary guess is that the person in charge of Building 3 targeted my assassination. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so little information.
“But it’s hard to tell which building holds the power, so I have to use myself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole and wait for someone to kill me. It’s not my style.”
Yue Xin listened to Maya’s words as she listened to the translation of the earpiece. She silently remembered Maya’s words about luring the snake out of its hole. Great, she had learned another foreign language in prison.
After a short daze, Yue Xin asked, “The person in charge is very dangerous, but why did you call Yi Chengxuan and Leng Chen over?”
Maya looked at Yue Xin and smiled. “Of all the people in power, only Yi Chengxuan doesn’t participate in these things. He’s not interested in money and is the only nosy powerhouse in prison.”
Yue Xin seemed to understand and asked, “What about Leng Chen?”
“Little Xinxin, do you know about the hero effect?” Maya asked.
Yue Xin shook her head.
“When someone is supported and protected by another person, they will also feel, be heard, seen, taken care of, and connected. Building No. 2 is filled with outlaws. When they have absolute protection, they will instinctively want to rely on one another. They might even turn away from their original intentions and become slaves driven by emotions. Loyal outlaws are even more terrifying than ordinary people.”
“Leng Chen is a pawn that can easily turn the identity of the assassin and protector into nothing,” Maya said. She looked into Yue Xin’s clear and stupid eyes and immediately pulled herself away from the serious topic. “Hahaha, I’m sorry. I was too vague just now. In fact, after we fought yesterday, the power structure of the prison will change. The assassin and protector will only exist in name. Don’t go out for the next few days. Stay with me obediently, understand?”
Yue Xin nodded. She was good at accompanying. Previously, when she was doing experiments with her sister, she was just like this. Maya’s bed was very big. Even if there were three more Yue Xin, she could still live there.
Yue Xin was originally sitting opposite Maya. She suddenly got tired of sitting, so she lay down beside Maya. She felt that this position was uncomfortable, so she turned around and lay down.
Yue Xin lay beside Maya and could clearly smell the sunlight coming from Maya’s body. She had only smelled this smell from the blanket that had been sunbathed at home when she was very young. After the auntie at home was changed, the blanket only smelled of detergent.
“Maya, you smell so good.”
A chuckle came from above Yue Xin’s head. “My brothers always said the same thing in the past…” After saying this, Maya was silent for a long time, but Yue Xin, who was greedily inhaling this smell, did not notice Maya’s abnormality.
The room was very quiet. Only the soft breathing of the two of them could be heard, as well as a small piece of blue sky through the window.
Yue Xin was sleepy and felt uncomfortable with her earphones on, so she took off her earphones and threw them aside.
A moment later, a gentle voice sounded in her ears. Yue Xin seemed to have experienced the warmth when she was hugged by Yue Qing for the first time.
When Yue Xin woke up, she didn’t know how long she had slept. She touched her flat stomach and was hungry. She was about to ask Maya what she wanted to eat when she realized that Maya’s expression wasn’t right. She reached out and touched Maya’s body. Maya’s body was very hot. She had a fever.
Normally, Yue Xin wouldn’t panic, but Maya was injured yesterday and her bones were broken. No matter how stupid Yue Xin was, she knew that this wasn’t an ordinary fever. She should take Maya to Building No. 6 now or get someone from Building No. 6 to come here to treat Maya, but Maya’s words still echoed in Yue Xin’s mind. Someone in power wanted to kill her. They couldn’t go out, and it wasn’t safe to let people from outside in.
Yue Xin still remembered Maya’s assassination that day. She couldn’t bring an unidentified person to Maya’s weak side. No. 12 was also injured yesterday and couldn’t recover well in just a day. It was fine to send food, but it would definitely be very difficult for him to fight the assassin. Besides, Yue Xin was sure that No. 12 couldn’t protect Maya as desperately as he protected her. Because from the value of the prison, she was worthless if she died, but if Maya died, she could create huge value for some people..
