The cell was sparsely populated, except for Maya’s urn sitting on a cold stone altar-
Yue Xin recalled Su Yu’s words and actions. She sat on the bed and said to
Maya’s urn, “Maya, it’s so difficult to analyze others and think, but I’ll learn.”
The next day, Yue Xin thought that her life was the same as the day before. She would first meet Yi Chengxuan, then go to Building No. 6 to memorize the weaknesses of every prisoner before returning to the Newbie Building.
However, as soon as she left the Newbie Building today, she realized that things were not simple. The criminals who had gathered at the entrance of the Newbie Building to look for prey yesterday were gone. In their place stood two big Buddhas, Yi Chengxuan and Su Yu.
The two of them were confronting each other at the entrance of the newbie building. Although Yue Xin was far away and could not hear what they were talking about for the time being, from the atmosphere between the two of them, she could guess that they were not getting along well. Otherwise, there would be a prisoner around them.
Yue Xin raised her leg and was about to walk in the direction of the two of them when someone suddenly pulled her back and reminded her softly, “Hey, don’t go over now. Those two are the people in charge of Buildings No. 4 and 5. They’re fighting over a woman. You’ll be implicated if you go.”
Yue Xin turned around and saw that the person holding her back was a young man with black hair and eyes like her. Although this young man was of the same race as Yue Xin, they were not from the same country. Yue Xin searched her memories. The young man in front of her was just 16 years old. He was born in the slums of Country M and was sold to prison by his biological father.
There were a total of three types of people who could enter the Land of the
Fallen. The first type was the money-making machine in the Land of the Fallen, a valuable prisoner in Building No. 1. The second type comprised talented prisoners who could revolve around Building No. 1 and profit from different channels. The third type was ordinary prisoners, or even not criminals at all. They did not need talent, but their appearance must be very outstanding. Such people would either be noticed by the higher-ups of the other buildings when they were in the newbie building, or they would attract the attention of some investors at the cost of their lives during the battle in the branch building, making them invest more money into the prison.
Not only could the branch battle be used to distribute powerful newcomers, but it could also be broadcasted live to enable the prison to earn a huge sum of money from the big shots around the world. Many newcomers with no background and no ability would be bought by outsiders if they were targeted during the branch battle and leave the Land of the Fallen.
Yue Xin looked at the young man in front of her who seemed to have good intentions. She sensed that his intentions were not limited to this, but Yue Xin did not say anything and only replied, “Thank you.”
Perhaps it was because Yue Xin looked very easy to talk to, the young man smiled and continued the topic just now. “You should be new here. I’ve been here for five days and know a little about the prison.”
“The black-haired man outside is the person in charge of Building No. 5. His name is Yi Chengxuan. I heard that he has a good temper and often helps criminals who are not bad by nature. He’s the one who treats criminals the best among all the people in charge of Building No. 5. He even protects his subordinates. He’s always very powerful.”
“The one with golden hair is the person in charge of Building No. 4. His name is Su Yu. His methods of killing are very cruel. He usually likes to torture people. The people in the prison are afraid of him.” The young man said a lot of things by himself, as if he was very innocent.
“By the way, my name is Hall. I don’t have a surname. What about you? What’s your name?”
“Yue Xin.” Yue Xin said her name directly like before.
Hall suddenly said excitedly, “You, you’re Yue Xin from Building No. 1 who came to the Newbie Building? I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know. Please forgive me if I offended you.”
Yue Xin didn’t care about Hall’s attitude and nodded gently. “It’s okay.” With that, she walked straight to Yi Chengxuan.
Hall looked at Yue Xin’s back and clicked his tongue softly. So she didn’t like the simple type? But today was only the first time they had interacted. There would be another chance in the future. His sixth sense told him that if he wanted to survive here, he had to cozy up to Yue Xin. Looking at Yue Xin who had already walked away, Hall left his previous position and returned to the cell.
After Yue Xin approached Yi Chengxuan and Su Yu, she also heard their conversation.
Su Yu demanded, “Are you trying to trick Yue Xin into going to Building No. 5?”
Yi Chengxuan said, “No, I respect all her choices.”
Su Yu said,”You’re saying this again. It’s disgusting. Yue Xin is mine. Don’t move.”
Yi Chengxuan maintained, “She doesn’t belong to anyone. She has the right to choose.”
Su Yu replied, “Weaklings don’t have the right to choose.”
Yi Chengxuan asked, “How can you be sure that she’s weak?”
Yi Chengxuan seemed to have blind confidence in Yue Xin, which made Su Yu, who had just put Yue Xin on her side yesterday, very unhappy. Just as he was about to continue retorting, he suddenly saw Yue Xin’s figure from the corner of his eye. Hence, he said to Yi Chengxuan, “Are you trying to win Yue Xin’s heart and use her casually? That’s what you do to the people in Building No.. 5, right?”
