Chapter 172
From that day on, Shen Yue entered Building No.4 every day for two consecutive weeks.
Even though she knew her actions had already caught the attention of those with ulterior motives, and that there was more or less some scheme behind this orchestrated by Tang You, she didn't care.
She needed to know more, to get more weapons, so that she could get closer to the truth she wanted.
After spending two weeks with Tang You, L·A specially sent someone to the Newcomer Building to tell Shen Yue that she could continue going over. So Shen Yue's daily schedule became 9:00-14:00 training her so-called ability to deal with killing intent by conditioning her physical reflexes in Building No.4.
:00-20:00 continuing to train her observation skills in Building No.8.
However, Shen Yue was no longer on the first floor of the Building No.8 casino.
Building No.8 was divided into two areas, one was the private area of the Building No.8 prisoners, where the cells of Building No.8 were located, and entering the private area without permission would result in being shot dead.
The other area was the public area, which was also where the prisoners usually gambled and enjoyed themselves, with a total of ten floors.
Access to different floors of Building No.8 depended on the customer's spending power, risk tolerance, danger level, and exchange value. Customers who were allowed onto the tenth floor could make one request per month to the person in charge of Building No.8.
The premise was that it had to be a feasible request. Those were the rules, but Inmate No.14 did not recommend casually making requests as one pleased. Previously, a prisoner relied on his gambling skills to reach the tenth floor, and pestered the person in charge of Building No.8 every month. As a result, he was assigned an assassination mission and killed.
Shen Yue was originally in the casino supervised by L·A, the simplest first floor.
After staying on the first floor for a month, L·A let Shen Yue go to the second floor.
The first floor consisted of some ordinary and vulgar gamblers who mostly pursued low-level interests and desires. But from the second floor, there were more people with ulterior motives.
You might think every step forward you take could be a trap set up by your opponent from the start.
This was not difficult for Shen Yue. No matter what kind of scheme it was, as long as she knew its purpose beforehand, it would not seem mysterious to her. Shen Yue easily obtained the qualification for the second floor and entered the third floor.
On the third floor, there were not only people's schemes in gambling, but also all kinds of insidious little tricks. But perhaps it was Tang You's effective training, Shen Yue relied on her body's subconscious reactions several times to dodge some dangers, physical dangers.
After all, some people's way of cheating was to carry poison needles with them, and some deliberately broke their opponent's fingers when in contact.
From the fourth floor, chips were no longer limited to money.
People, feelings, power, could all be bargaining chips, it just depended on how much your psyche could withstand.
From the second floor onwards, Shen Yue used the remaining two months to climb to the ninth floor, only one step away from the tenth floor.
The administrator of the ninth floor also said that as long as Shen Yue was willing, he could immediately give her a recommendation for the tenth floor, not only because she was trained by L·A, but more because of Shen Yue’s own terrible strength.
But Shen Yue did not go to the tenth floor, and no one knew what she was planning.
One day, the announcement of the split building battle finally resounded throughout the entire Newcomer Building.
Regardless of when they were admitted, or whether the three-month newcomer protection period had ended, all the prisoners who were currently in the Newcomer Building had to participate in the split building battle: Werewolf Game.
There were currently more than 300 prisoners in the Newcomer Building. Among these prisoners, there were ordinary people who were sold to make up numbers, as well as extremely vicious criminals.
Of course, there were also some special identities, such as Shen Yue, Inmate No.14, assassins and mercenaries.
Among these 300 people, 10 would become werewolves.
For the werewolves, they had special weapons and marks to catch ordinary people and exchange them for money. As long as they succeeded in catching someone, regardless of life or death.
For ordinary people, killing a werewolf would yield an amount equal to submitting 300 people, which was the foundation for them to live well in prison afterwards.
At the same time, any prisoner who killed a werewolf would gain the right to choose which building to be assigned to.
That is, the person in charge could not refuse a prisoner with the right to choose.
The rules of the game were already very clear at this point. It was nothing more than dividing the prisoners in the Newcomer Building into two groups and have them kill each other to create a spectacle.
But Shen Yue always felt that this game was not as simple as it looked.
In theory, there were only 10 werewolves, and because killing werewolves could bring huge benefits, the werewolves could not cooperate with each other, and might even kill each other.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, did not seem to have any conflicts of interest. As long as they could prove to each other that they were ordinary people, they could establish a temporary cooperation to jointly hunt down werewolves.
Even if they could not win, there would not be too many casualties.
But in fact, according to the data Shen Yue had learned, the survival rate in each split building battle was less than 5%.
Of the 300 people this time, at most only 15 could survive. If it was just a simple skirmish between werewolves and ordinary people, such an effect could obviously not be achieved.
The specifics of the anomalies could only be explored after everything started.
On the night before the split building battle began, Danni La insisted on sleeping with Shen Yue because she was afraid. Shen Yue agreed.
The reason for agreeing was not because she trusted Danni La that much, but because Shen Yue was sure that with Danni La's current ability, she could not harm her.
Ever since witnessing those dirty things in Building No. 8, it seemed that every time Shen Yue saw Danni La, she could understand why Si Chengyou always looked so relaxed and confident.
That kind of confidence stemmed from one’s own strength and control over the weak.
"Xiaoyue, you won't abandon me tomorrow, right? What if you're a werewolf, or what if I'm a werewolf... What if we're not on the same side, will you... kill me?" The two lay together, unlike the initial tentative inquiries, Danni La spoke very directly.
Shen Yue learned a lot from Danni La, and perhaps it was because of this that Danni La gradually stopped using those little tricks on her. After all, Shen Yue also knew her techniques now, tricking her was useless.
Her conversations with Shen Yue became more straightforward, and their relationship grew much closer as a result.
Hearing Danni La's words, Shen Yue reached out and held her hand as if to reassure her, "No matter what your identity is, I won't hurt you, as long as you don't betray me."
【No matter what your identity is, I won't hurt you.】
How arrogant words.
It was as if she ignored the identities of werewolves and ordinary people, and regarded herself as the hunter.
Danni La paused, understanding the meaning in Shen Yue’s words, “You know very well that I won’t betray you, I have no other way to go now.”
"Well, from tomorrow onwards, if we get separated, you and your younger siblings will wait for me to come get you guys at some safe place in the east. Don't run around."
Danni La held Shen Yue’s hand in return, as if demonstrating her determination, “Okay.”
For Danni La, this was a gamble, a gamble on whether Shen Yue would actually come to find her.
If Shen Yue didn't come, relying on her own abilities, she could only cling to someone else to preserve herself, but not the people she cared about.
And if Shen Yue came but she left, it would signify her betrayal. Shen Yue would not let her go again, and neither would Si Chengyou.
She had no choice.
She could only choose to believe.
The next day, the 300 prisoners were thrown into the prison's restricted area, and the Werewolf Game officially began.
