Chapter 137
Shen Yue stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Si Chengyou after thinking for a moment.
Although Shen Yue was looking at Si Chengyou, her face was expressionless, with no trace of Si Chengyou in her eyes, as if she was looking at something else through him.
Seeing Shen Yue's state, Si Chengyou's eyes darkened slightly, but his expression did not change. He just said, "I know you want to avenge Ma Sha, but your current abilities are far from enough."
Shen Yue did not refute. She knew Si Chengyou was right, but she had to do something, otherwise she was afraid she would not be able to wait until the day she had agreed with her sister and would want to leave early.
She was a container, half of which was the agreement with Shen Hui, and the other half was the increasingly heavy shadow caused by Ma Sha's death.
When there comes a day when Shen Yue can no longer control this part of the shadow, the so-called agreement will collapse along with her sanity.
She knew she had to do something―she had to have a goal to restrain the shadow.
That goal was to avenge Ma Sha.
Even if she was not capable enough now, she still had to find possibility from impossibility.
Seeing that Shen Yue was unmoved, Si Chengyou continued, "How about making a deal with me? I will help you achieve your goal, but you need to agree to one request from me."
Shen Yue looked at Si Chengyou. At this moment, Si Chengyou's figure was finally reflected in her eyes. This man had the same black hair and black pupils as her, and even the language was the same.
"What request?"
Si Chengyou did not answer immediately.
The earphones worn by the inmates in Flightless Bird would translate languages in real time based on whether the languages used by both parties match.
At this moment, neither Shen Yue nor Si Chengyou needed translation by the earphones. Instead, they were communicating directly with each other.
However, even without translation, as long as the earphones were on, every word spoken by the inmates would still be recorded and stored in Flightless Bird's database.
Certain information extracted from these data could be sold for money after some processing.
Si Chengyou looked at the faint blue glow from the earphones on Shen Yue and said suddenly, "Can you please not move no matter what happens next?"
Si Chengyou looked at Shen Yue. Although she had not responded yet, he could already guess Shen Yue’s answer.
Sure enough, without any movement or expression, like a machine, Shen Yue uttered, “Okay.”
As her voice fell, the earphone on her glowed blue again.
Si Chengyou's eyes fell on Shen Yue's earphone and nodded lightly. "Come to Building 6 starting tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you there."
From today onwards, I will become your new craftsman.
...
After Si Chengyou finished speaking and left, Shen Yue also returned to her cell, abandoning the idea of going to Building 6.
She originally went to Building 6 to see if she could still enter like before, and whether she could get money in there. Now that Si Chengyou had said those words, then she would not go there for the time being.
Returning to her cell, Shen Yue picked up the paper she left on the table.
The paper listed the names of those in power in each building and the probabilities of who might be the murderer.
The probability for Si Chengyou was a question mark. Shen Yue could not deduce it with her current abilities.
Although everyone around her, including Ma Sha, said Si Chengyou was a trustworthy person, it was precisely this that made Shen Yue feel Si Chengyou was dangerous enough.
When a person is not guarded against by everyone, either he truly poses no threat, or he is so powerful that he has fooled everyone.
Shen Yue would not have considered such things originally, but now she had no choice but to consider them.
She sat quietly on the bed, looking at Ma Sha's ashes, and recalled what Aipulier had told her.
"Ma Sha committed suicide, but it can also be counted as murder. If no one told her the truth, she would have kept her hopes up and lived seriously."
The truth.
Shen Yue reached out and touched her chest, where her sister had put something in. That thing was what all countries outside the prison were scrambling for now.
