Shen Yue had come this far from when she blasted through the ninth floor of Building 8.
She was originally just one floor away from being able to ask the person in charge of Building 8 for something. But Shen Yue did not make a move.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but that she couldn't.
She was too conspicuous now. If she had too much overt protection, it would have the opposite effect. She had to secretly go to the tenth floor after she had everything planned out.
No one could know.
The turning point of events began with a piece of news Shen Yue got at the casino.
Every time there was a split building battle, people from Building 2 would participate as slaughterers. The most dangerous thing in the split building battles for new inmates wasn't the new building inmates themselves, but the group of brutes from Building 2.
Selling this news was prohibited, nor would any inmates kindly remind newcomers about it. As a result, the mortality rate of the annual split building battles remained high.
But Shen Yue was an exception. Shen Yue learned the true teachings of L.A. and made some friends in Building 8 using the art of language. These friends would occasionally tell her important news.
And this was one such piece.
After getting this news, Shen Yue looked for an opportunity to have No. 14 provide cover for her so she could go to the tenth floor alone and make a request to the person in charge of Building 8.
[Put Li Feng into the slaughterers team.]
This matter wasn't difficult for Building 8. After all, the split building battles were a life or death battle for newcomers, but for them in charge and outsiders, it was watching a show.
Throwing in a little surprise to make things more interesting wasn't hard at all for those in charge.
In fact, because this matter was so simple to accomplish, the person in charge of Building 8 felt bad and agreed to give her some inside information a couple days before the split building battle began.
It was through the inside information from Building 8 that Shen Yue knew everyone's starting positions.
As for why she chose Li Feng—
Li Feng was Ma Sha's true knight. After Ma Sha left, she entrusted Shen Yue's safety to Li Feng.
On the third day after Ma Sha left, Li Feng secretly entered Building 1 in the middle of the night and offered Shen Yue his self-destruct code to demonstrate his loyalty.
No. 14 had always thought Shen Yue didn't know the true meaning of "dog," but Shen Yue had actually known since when Li Feng came. What she originally said to No. 14 in Building 1 about "being her dog" was also a deliberate psychological cue.
She figured No. 14 could be used by her, so she did it.
Shen Yue had always been subconsciously doing things that were beneficial to herself, it was just that before, she wasn't aware of it. But now, she was not only aware, but also learned how to control things.
After confirming Li Feng could enter the slaughter team, Shen Yue had Li Feng take complete control of the slaughterers team and then come find her after he did.
This was the start of the plan—how to keep everyone under control in a fixed area and make them completely obey her as she waited for the slaughterers to arrive.
First, Shen Yue identified several key people to focus her control efforts on. After gaining control of them, she analyzed their personalities and strengths, then fanned outward in a web, identifying more candidates.
Twenty-seven people total. That could form a balanced team that kept each other in check. Add in the map from Building 8, and Shen Yue saw the most suitable place for trapping prey.
It was the place that could be surrounded by burning hills and forests. That would be the final battleground.
But Shen Yue's goal wasn't to win. It was to become the person in charge of Building 7. And to achieve this goal, she had to make those biased Building 7 inhabitants see absolute control—control over people's hearts, control over the situation.
So Shen Yue didn't let a single person die. She didn't wipe anyone out. She left a thread of hope for every single person.
People only want to strive for opportunities they see.
This was how Shen Yue currently was. After severely slapping everyone, she still showed them the honeydew melon.
After all, weren't Mo Aman and Danni La perfectly fine following Shen Yue without suffering any harm?
Danni La was very pretty, and she was good at showcasing her beauty. This made it so when Mo Aman introduced her to everyone yesterday, everyone remembered Danni La's description.
The woman who used her life to gain Shen Yue's trust.
As long as they could gain Shen Yue's trust, they could obtain Shen Yue's protection!
This truth—only those who lay vanquished on the ground knew it yesterday, but just now, some former hunters also understood this principle.
"Boss, I'm willing to give you my life." Someone quickly grasped the key point, but Shen Yue wasn't interested.
"Your value?"
A familiar line. Cold, heartless, yet letting people feel an unmatched sense of security.
"I know what your special privilege is. I saw it yesterday. You can make it so I absolutely won't betray you. I'm willing to accept this restraint."
Shen Yue glanced over. For this person to discover this, he did have value.
She no longer concealed it and directly stated, "Good. From now on, you're my dog."
Soon after she finished speaking, staff delivered an injection device containing microchips to Shen Yue.
Small, yet after being injected into the body, it could become the most powerful control device.
[New inmate criminal: Alex, changing identity.
You now have Alex's life usage rights. If an uncontrollable situation occurs, you can use the verbal command to have Alex destroyed.
The destruction verbal command is: 548243]
A familiar prompt sounded in Shen Yue's earpiece. And in Alex's earpiece, there was likely a prompt sound as well.
He laughed bitterly. "So this was your aim."
Shen Yue had no expression as she looked into the distance. "Yes. You have no other choice."
Shen Yue's actions were unconcealed, so everyone knew that as long as Shen Yue injected them with a microchip, they could live.
Choosing between having their lives held in someone's hand for the rest of their days versus dying now—most ordinary people would choose the latter, but in this broken-winged place, everyone would choose the former.
Time gradually flowed by. Shen Yue injected a microchip into every inmate who proved their value to her, obtaining their lives.
And No. 14 put on hunter garb and returned with over ten other hunters. Behind them were the remaining 15 people, not one missing.
As for where the remaining two wolves were—that was also clear.
At this point, Shen Yue had become the only winner. It was set in stone.
"Boss...um, I want to ask if on the first day in the tree you intentionally used your hand to catch the arrow?"
Shen Yue looked at Mo Aman. Her expression was unclear. "Yes. I had No. 14 shoot it to erase the wolf pattern."
In an instant, Mo Aman felt struck. So from the very start she had been utilized? Shen Yue really was the best executioner! ! !
After Shen Yue said this, Mo Aman stared at her, making her suddenly feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She looked away and coldly stated, "If you keep looking at me like that, I'll have No. 14 dig out your eyeballs."
No. 14 immediately responded, "It would be my pleasure."
He had long disliked Mo Aman always following behind Shen Yue. Just who did she think she was? How dare she even help Shen Yue comb her hair? He hadn't even combed her hair so what right did she have?!
Just a chess piece.
Thinking this, No. 14 stealthily came up behind Shen Yue and squeezed Mo Aman away.
