Chapter 153: Prison Chapter (Memory) 42: Everything will hurt you

Chapter 153

Shen Yue felt even more broken as the words of Prisoner No.14 faded.

Yes, broken.

Most people could express a sense of brokenness by adjusting the light and composition of a photo. Such fragile beauty often evoked the most pity and affection from the strong.

However, something easily achieved in a photo was hard to orchestrate in real life.

Yet the woman before her seemed able to control the lighting around her. Every move, every expression was exquisitely beautiful.

After Si Chengyou, she was the second person Shen Yue found frightening.

But unlike Si Chengyou, this woman had power but no ability to protect herself.

Though logical analysis failed to explain it, Shen Yue broadly sensed what the woman was trying to do.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. All my money was just stolen. Could you please lend me some? I'll definitely pay you back." After being rejected by Prisoner No.14, the beautiful prisoner stopped pestering him and made another request instead.

No one would reject such a pretty woman, except Prisoner No.14.

"I have no money. Go ask someone else," he said. With a sigh, he glanced at Shen Yue, who was watching the drama unfold from afar, then ignored the ill-intentioned woman and walked over to Shen Yue.

The beautiful prisoner was left behind Prisoner No.14, looking utterly pitiful.

Soon after No.14 left, other prisoners approached the beauty and offered to lend her money.

Seeing this, Shen Yue hatched an idea.

I want to learn how she does it.

Shen Yue always believed the best way to gain true knowledge was through practice.

After No.14 returned to her side, she took the initiative to approach the beauty and extended an invitation. "Would you like to make a deal with me? I'll protect you."

When Shen Yue uttered those words, Prisoner No.14's left eye started twitching uncontrollably for some reason.

He put his hand over his left eye, gripped by a sense of impending doom.

The left eye jumping signifies wealth, the right eye jumping signifies disaster. His left eye was jumping, so...his wealth was about to disappear.

Daniela Goetz looked from No.14 to Shen Yue and asked softly, "What kind of deal?"

With money in hand, the tension finally left Dani's furrowed brows, revealing a radiant beauty. Her breath was fragrant as orchids. "Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Watching Shen Yue's actions, No.14 didn't understand, but he also didn't ask.

Too much knowledge wasn't always a good thing. All he needed to do was step in when Shen Yue needed him.

Shen Yue headed towards her cell, exhausted. Upon reaching her cell door, she realized No.14 was still following her.

"No.14, which cell are you in?"

"The one right next to yours."

Shen Yue nodded. "That works nicely."

"If you need anything, just call me like before."

Shen Yue touched her earpiece. "I can't communicate with you over the earpieces anymore."

No.14 paused briefly before saying, "Please wait a moment."

He then entered the cell next to Shen Yue's, shutting the door behind him.

Shortly after, No.14 emerged. Shen Yue's nose twitched as a faint bloody scent wafted her way on the breeze.

Before Shen Yue could ask, No.14 brought something close to her earpiece.

With a beep, a mechanical voice sounded in Shen Yue's ear.

【Su Yun'an, Inmate No. 2. Identity changed.

You now hold Su Yun'an's life rights. If an uncontrollable situation occurs, you may terminate Su Yun'an with the destruct code.

Destruct Code: 487521】

Shen Yue looked up at No.14, backlit so she couldn't make out his expression. But his voice was gentle to the point of disquiet.

"I used to be Inmate No. 2 before I was made a prison guard since so many feared me."

"Did you hear the prompt? My life now belongs to you."

"That is the true meaning of my status as your 'dog'."
