Chapter 197: Strange Killer
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The initial amount in the prisoner’s card was only enough for a person like Yue Xin to maintain a month of food and shelter. If she could not master the way to earn money within a month, she would starve to death before she lived past the three-month newbie protection period.
There was nothing free in the prison, and of course, there was no free lunch.
Therefore, Yue Xin planned to go to Building No. 6 to earn some money. Yue Xin had studied in Building No. 6 for a long time before. With her current level, she had no problem dealing with ordinary external injuries and illnesses.
Unexpectedly, just as Yue Xin walked out of the building, she was stopped.
“Wow! Are you the prisoner from Building No. 1? You look completely different from other prisoners. You have black hair and a white dress. You look like a doll, but you don’t have any expression. As expected of the high and mighty prisoner from Building No. 1.” A light voice sounded, but it didn’t sound light.
Yue Xin glanced at the woman and immediately knew this person’s identity. She had seen this woman’s information.
Mi Aya. A peculiar killer from the small island to the southeast. She had a very ordinary face, the kind that disappeared instantly when you put it in a crowd, but it was uncomfortable when matched with her smile at the moment.
Unlike other killers who used various methods and technology to kill with professional standards, her personality was very outstanding. Usually, she would use this extremely unmemorable face to sneak around the target and anger the target as quickly as possible. After the target lost his mind, she would talk about the target and lead the target to the trap she had already set. This was a killer who was very good at agitating others. It was different from her ordinary appearance. But at the same time, she was also good at disguising herself. Anyone could do it.
Yue Xin stared at Mi Aya’s face and did not comment on her malicious words. Instead, she said seriously, “Your expression is really exquisite.”
Mi Aya was stunned. Just as she was about to continue probing, she heard Yue Xin say directly, “Whether it’s your expression or your smile, they’re very accurate in exerting pressure, causing others to hate you and escalate into anger.”
Mi Aya raised her eyebrows, a little surprised that this expressionless young woman in front of her could easily see through her tricks. Indeed, she was an interesting character to be able to come out of Building No. 1 voluntarily.
Mi Aya gave up on the idea of continuing to test Yue Xin. Instead, she reminded her, “You want to go out? I advise you not to do that. With your small body, you’ll be robbed of all your money by the burly men outside as soon as you walk out of the Newbie Building.”
The money in all the prisoners’ identity cards could be voluntarily given to others. Many experienced prisoners, who had no money to spend and did not accept dangerous missions, would guard the public area of the newcomers’ building and threaten them to give the money in their cards to newcomers.
The Land of the Fallen had never lacked newcomers. From a certain perspective, this was also a good way to make a fortune.
The Newbie Building’s protection for newbies was limited to the Newbie Building, and the prison would not interfere with the public areas outside. The so-called Newbie Protection Period referred to the fact that newbies would not be the mission target for the first three months. That was, they could not be killed by any prisoners. As long as they were not killed, everything else was allowed.
Yue Xin nodded at Mi Aya. “Thank you for your reminder.” Then, she left without looking back.
Not long after, Yue Xin met another person, Yi Chengxuan. Yi Chengxuan was the person in charge of Building No. 5. Like the prisoners in Building No. 1, there were some rules that he didn’t have to follow. For example, ordinary prisoners couldn’t enter the newcomer building casually, or they would trigger the machine gun at the door and be shot into a sieve, but the person in charge could.
It was said that this was to make it easier for those in power to find their subordinates in advance. Of course, it could also be to find playthings.
Yue Xin originally didn’t want to pay attention to Yi Chengxuan. To her, Yi Chengxuan was a stranger she had just met a few times. She didn’t want to have a deeper relationship with him, even if he seemed to have Maya’s trust.
Yue Xin walked past Yi Chengxuan without looking sideways, but she did not expect Yi Chengxuan to stop her.
“Yue Xin, I have something to tell you.”
Yue Xin stopped in her tracks. After some thought, she turned to look at Yi Chengxuan, but she was still expressionless. Yi Chengxuan was not even in her eyes, as if she was looking at something else through him.
Yi Chengxuan’s expression darkened when he saw Yue Xin’s state. “I know you want to avenge Maya, but your current ability is far from enough.”
Yue Xin didn’t refute. After all, what Yi Chengxuan said was the truth, but she still had to do something. Otherwise, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to last until the day she agreed with her sister. Hence, she wanted to leave.
Right now, she was just a vessel. Half of it was filled with the agreement with Yue Qing, and the other half was filled with the trauma caused by Maya’s death..
