Chapter 142: Prison Chapter (Memories) 31: The Gift
Chapter 142
Si Chengyou had not actually gone far. He just took the opportunity when Shen Yue was caught by the restaurant manager auntie to retreat to a blind spot outside the restaurant where he could not be seen, so he could continue observing.
During the day of interacting with Shen Yue, Si Chengyou felt that Shen Yue was behaving far too calm, and seemed to be completely fearless of the dangers around her.
Si Chengyou wanted to confirm whether Shen Yue indeed had a card up her sleeve that allowed her to be so fearless, or whether she was fearless out of ignorance.
There was also another possibility - that Shen Yue understood everything, but she did not care. To put it bluntly, she was not afraid to die.
And after Shen Yue and Tang Yi's brief confrontation just now, Si Chengyou had already seen clearly that Shen Yue did not care.
When Tang Yi first approached Shen Yue, Si Chengyou noticed Shen Yue's body unconsciously showed signs of wariness, but this reaction was quickly suppressed. Then when Tang Yi put his hand on her, she completely presented an undefended state.
And during Tang Yi's conversation with Shen Yue just now, one of his sentences also contained malice, though deeply hidden, that even some seasoned killers would have difficulty detecting.
Shen Yue evidently did not notice it either, but she still defused it.
With just one sentence, she easily defused it.
So Si Chengyou realized that, to a certain extent, being able to temporarily pacify a dangerous individual like Tang Yi, Shen Yue also had talent.
After Tang Yi said something similar to words of encouragement to Shen Yue, his tone suddenly changed. He pointed towards the dining crowds not far from the restaurant and said, "But the split building battle is not easy to win. For you to get into our building, you'd at least need the ability to defeat all the currently injured people in the restaurant by yourself. Do you want to try today to see if you can do it? They are injured so they are very easy to deal with."
Tang Yi said these hair-raising words with the same smile as before. Although his face looked like an angel's, but his interior was a bona fide devil's.
Even when dealing with toys he liked, he would not show the slightest mercy.
He only ever acts based on his own interest, as long as he has determined the matter has absolutely no danger to himself.
And right now to Tang Yi, Shen Yue posed no threat at all.
Shen Yue only answered Tang Yi with one sentence, "I can't do it, I'm useless."
Tang Yi: ?
Before Tang Yi could react, Shen Yue spoke again, "Can I leave now?"
Tang Yi's spell was interrupted, and the madman aura around him couldn't connect for a moment. He subconsciously went along with what Shen Yue said, and somehow responded with the next sentence, "You can, I'll send you off."
Shen Yue neither nodded nor shook her head, she just left the restaurant like that.
Tang Yi hurriedly followed in three or two steps, with none of the terrifying aura from before left, only resembling a clueless little follower.
But everyone knew Tang Yi was not such a simple person.
After following behind Shen Yue for a while, it seemed that Tang Yi finally reacted to what he had done. He touched his earrings, suddenly jumped in front of Shen Yue blocking her path, deep in thought, "You, can you hypnotize people?"
"No."
"You must have planted a subliminal message in me just now."
"I didn't."
"Then why am I here?"
"You followed me yourself."
"Really?"
"Really."
The two went back and forth with questions and answers, terribly discordant. Tang Yi went from initial probing to taking delight in it. He had never met such an interesting person like Shen Yue in prison before. "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?"
"Everyone else is afraid of me."
Shen Yue originally wanted to reply she didn't know, but remembering Si Chengyou said she doesn't think before she speaks, she swallowed her words back down and started pondering.
During Shen Yue's contemplation, Tang Yi also kept silent waiting for her answer, without the previously horrifying demeanor, obediently like a little puppy.
Soon after, Shen Yue came up with an answer. "Nothing to be afraid of. Your earrings look nice."
Tang Yi's pupils sharply contracted for a second, but soon returned to normal. He touched his earrings, smiling at Shen Yue, "I also think my earrings look good, but you're the first person here to discover that."
Si Chengyou followed not far behind, listening to their conversation, feeling complicated.
