Chapter 125

After a brief silence, the sound of ceramic and metal colliding came from Shen Yue's headphones, followed by Android No.14's familiar formulaic reply, "Okay, I'll be there in 2 minutes."

Having received No.14's reply, Shen Yue looked at Ma Sha. Her words became more justified, "I'll go with No.14."

Seeing Ma Sha still frowning, looking somewhat reluctant, Shen Yue pleaded in a low voice, "I'll just stand by and watch, I won't disturb you."

Looking at Shen Yue clinging tightly to her sleeve, Ma Sha somehow felt that in front of her was a little cat desperately acting coquettish because it didn't want its owner to leave.

There was no denying that Ma Sha's heart softened, but she was more worried about Shen Yue.

"Little Yueyue, this is Flightless Bird. The only person you can rely on is yourself, don't trust anyone easily, including me."

Shen Yue nodded, not knowing whether she had listened or not, but she was still obsessed, "I'll go with No.14."

Ma Sha looked at the sleeve she was holding and finally didn't say anything. She only said, "Stay away from me when I make my move."

Shen Yue nodded and was pulled along into the elevator by Ma Sha's sleeve.

It was only then that Ma Sha realized Shen Yue was still wearing bedroom slippers, with rather low defense stats.

However, after thinking about it, Shen Yue didn't need to get physical anyway, so she dismissed the idea of asking Shen Yue to change her shoes, only reminding her, "Remember to wear proper shoes next time when going out, don't catch a cold."

Shen Yue nodded.

She was just a merciless nodding machine.

It was quite a distance from the stair entrance to the private area outside Cell Block 1. By the time the two came out of Cell Block 1, not only were the Cell Block 2 inmates who had been following Ma Sha present, even the Cell Block 2 leader Li Feng and Android No.14 had arrived.

The two groups were clearly divided, with the Cell Block 2 people standing on the right and No.14's group on the left.

This was also unexpected for Shen Yue. Usually when she summoned No.14, he would come alone. But this time he actually brought helpers.

Noticing Shen Yue's gaze, No.14 took a step forward, bowed slightly, and explained, "To satisfy your need to kill people, I brought the prison's dedicated execution team."

Shen Yue had little interest. She averted her eyes and went to Ma Sha's side to continue pinching her sleeve.

Ma Sha noticed Shen Yue's move and took a step to the left to block half of Shen Yue's body behind her. She said loudly, "Catch all those who orchestrated and carried out the sneak attack on Leandra, and kill them on my behalf!"

If she didn't thoroughly resolve these scums who had ideas about her, they would continue to pester her endlessly afterwards. As soon as Ma Sha spoke, all the inmates in the public area looked over. Among them were inmates from other cell blocks who had come to run errands. After hearing Ma Sha's words, they revealed an expression of watching a good show.

"Yes!"

The Cell Block 2 inmates unanimously responded after hearing Ma Sha's words. Only Li Feng stood at the very front with an arrogant look. "I'm not helping you, it's just that Cell Block 2 people were sneak attacked by other cell blocks, so I have to take care of this."

Ma Sha just smiled without saying anything.

She was very assured of Li Feng, because Li Feng was neither a protector nor an assassin.

Except for the Cell Block 1 leader who was directly appointed by the prison, the leaders of other cell blocks had to move up either through cell block battles or by gaining points through completing tasks.

Li Feng was currently the only person in the prison who relied purely on cell block battles to become the leader.

He became the leader relying on his own strength and charisma, not by selling out to the prison.

This was also why when Shen Yue first entered the prison, she could see the respect for Li Feng from the eyes of other Cell Block 2 inmates.

No one in Cell Block 2 disobeyed Li Feng.

Similarly, when Cell Block 2 inmates suffered any harm outside of tasks, Li Feng would also stand up.

Like right now.

Li Feng's eyes looked towards Shen Yue hiding behind Ma Sha, feeling somewhat surprised that Shen Yue, who was also a top inmate of Cell Block 1, would appear here.

Shen Yue had caused huge waves as soon as she entered the prison, then vanished without a trace. There were no tasks related to her across the entire Flightless Bird. Even the information collected by Cell Block 3 was limited to within the prison. As for her past, it remained a mystery to this day.

Based on Shen Yue’s actions after entering the prison, Li Feng had thought she was another cautious type like the Cell Block 1 leader. He didn’t expect her to be openly involved with Ma Sha now.

From his understanding, Cell Block 1 inmates couldn't have casual contact with each other. If it aroused suspicion from outsiders, the consequences would be more frequent assassination tasks at the minimum, or they would lose their value and be kicked out of Cell Block 1 at the worst.

Once a Cell Block 1 inmate was kicked out, the outcome was often extremely miserable. But it seemed neither Ma Sha nor Shen Yue cared at all about this matter.

Either they were certain that this kind of thing wouldn’t make them lose their value, or they didn’t care about leaving Cell Block 1.

While Li Feng was having a brainstorm by himself, Shen Yue had already snapped at No.14 like Ma Sha did.

"No.14, kill whoever I tell you to kill."

Extremely simple, understandable and clear.

Although No.14 had a formulaic smile on his face, he was raging inside.

Just let him see, that damn brat interfering with his meals.

"Okay."

Seeing that even No.14 was here, Li Feng felt even more puzzled by Shen Yue. Generally speaking, no one could order the prison guards around to this extent.

The group headed towards Cell Block 6.

Cell Block 6 was in the middle of all the cell blocks, and the distance to each one was the same, about a 10-minute walk.

As Ma Sha walked, she dragged the rod on the ground, making a harsh sound. This was her demonstration of power.

Along the way, the inmates they encountered saw Ma Sha with a bad look on her face, leading a group of people walking in the public area. Hearing the shrill cry of the rod, they all lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with Ma Sha.

Some inmates even ran away instinctively from afar upon hearing the sound. This was not a habit that could be cultivated overnight, but a rule Ma Sha had established during her many years in the prison.

In the vast venue, there was only the sound of footsteps and the rod dragging across the ground, as if it was a signal telling everyone - don't mess with me.

Until a discordant voice rang out, "Ma Sha, it's so noisy dragging the rod on the ground. If you can't hold it up, you can let No.14 help you carry it."

No.14, who was already pissed:?

Me again?

Ma Sha was also dumbfounded. Throughout her domineering years in prison, this was still the first time someone had given her advice.

However, she was not angry at all. On the contrary, she was ready to tease Shen Yue a little. "Sorry, I just wanted to show off. But this rod is not that heavy, do you want to try holding it?"

Shen Yue took a look. With that authentic metallic texture and the sound it made when hitting the ground earlier, it didn't seem not heavy at all. But since Ma Sha said so, Shen Yue still reached out to try.

Maybe it was one of those props that looked heavy but actually wasn't?

Ma Sha also said one shouldn't judge things only by their appearance. For example, seemingly weak girls could still punch a sandbag to pieces with one hit.

So Shen Yue decided to give it a try.

Ma Sha placed one end of the metal rod on the ground and handed the other end to Shen Yue. As soon as she let go, Shen Yue couldn't support the weight of the rod and started falling to one side along with it.

Fortunately, Ma Sha reacted quickly to catch Shen Yue before she fell to the ground.

Ma Sha's mind somehow recalled Shen Yue's usual words that she couldn't fight anyway and her whole body was full of flaws. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This laugh was like a switch that suddenly dispersed the oppressive atmosphere that had been lingering over the few. The obscuring clouds were swept away and new light shone through.

"Silly girl, if you can't hold it then let go."

Shen Yue blinked and only said one sentence, "Liar."

Ma Sha didn't feel the slightest bit of regret. On the contrary, she acted as if it was only natural. "I told you not to trust anyone easily, including me."

Although Ma Sha said this, she still picked up the rod and rested it on her shoulder to avoid making any more noise.

The two chatted away as if no one else was around them, as if they weren't inmates inside a prison but just the most ordinary best friends who could laugh and joke together. Even bickering wouldn't affect their feelings for each other.

Li Feng followed behind the two, taking in
