Shen Yue originally thought that the task Si Chengyou mentioned was just a task she wanted to participate in and could participate in, but she did not expect that when she went to take on the task, the warden only told her that she did not have the qualifications to accept it.
"Sister, my big sister from Cell Block 7, take a closer look at the requirements for the task, military expertise! Expertise! Expertise! Do you know what war is? Do you know how to fight? Do you know military strategy? You dare to take on this task? Letting you take on this task is damaging Flightless Bird's reputation!"
"What reputation does Flightless Bird have?" Shen Yue asked honestly.
Hearing this, the warden lightly rolled his eyes, "Any power with a little status knows about Flightless Bird."
Shen Yue oh-ed, and left.
But halfway, the warden called her back, "Are you just going to give up like that?"
Shen Yue nodded, "Yes."
What Danni La said was that people should be good at giving up things that did not belong to them in the first place.
After Shen Yue left, she went to Cell Block 5 to find Si Chengyou. Now it seemed she did not need to notify him to go up to the 36th floor where Si Chengyou was, she could go straight there.
Si Chengyou was really a strange man.
When Shen Yue arrived on the 36th floor, Si Chengyou was reading a book, but he was not enjoying it with leisurely ease half-lying in the window position as usual. Instead, he sat upright at the desk, lightly turning the pages with his slender fingers, while recording something on paper with a pen.
Hearing the movement, Si Chengyou looked up, calmly closed the book in his hand, and looked at Shen Yue. There was not the slightest hint of surprise in his eyes, "You came."
Shen Yue's gaze first fell on the book Si Chengyou was reading. The large words of Zhang Yang made Shen Yue particularly concerned.
Physics... Grade 8... Second Semester?
Why would Si Chengyou read this kind of thing? Shen Yue had always thought Si Chengyou would only read some abstruse and difficult books. Seeing him now sitting upright at the desk and earnestly "studying" Grade 8 Physics Second Semester, it felt like a hundred-year-old man watching Baby Bus.
Shen Yue thought for a moment, then walked over to Si Chengyou and raised her hand to feel his forehead.
Hmm, no fever.
Although Shen Yue did not say anything, he already understood what she meant. He chuckled lightly as he brushed away Shen Yue's hand, "Laka Yili and Jay Ryan wanted to learn physics, but they couldn't understand it themselves, so they brought it to me."
Only then did Shen Yue come closer to see the manuscript paper Si Chengyou was writing before. There was a physics question on it.
There is a boat floating on the lake with many stones on the boat. Now take the stones out and throw them into the water. What changes will the water surface of the lake have? A. No change B. Rise C. Drop
On answer C there was a mark by Si Chengyou in red pen. Below in the blank space was an analysis written in French.
Shen Yue could barely understand some of it.
Seeing Shen Yue staring at it, Si Chengyou asked, "Are you interested? Shouldn't you have studied this before?"
Shen Yue recalled her foolish behavior of deliberately not studying in order to avoid being first in the past, and nodded, "Studied before, but I didn't study then."
Si Chengyou was silent for a moment, then took out two more books from the other side.
One was the xx Army Combat Manual.
One was Tactics for x Soldier Squad Platoon Company.
The usual smile without difference appeared on Si Chengyou's face again, "Then when you get tired of studying military knowledge, I'll teach you physics to adjust."
Shen Yue: ?
From that day on, Shen Yue lived a life of constant learning in Cell Block 5. Not only did she have to memorize the functions of various arms and tactics, she even had to listen to Si Chengyou talk about Grade 8 physics questions while eating.
Don't ask why it was Grade 8 physics questions. Ask, and you'll be told that was just the teaching material Si Chengyou happened to pick up.
However, Shen Yue had been trained in Cell Block 8 before, so Si Chengyou's level was not difficult to accept now.
After all, in Cell Block 5, Shen Yue only needed to passively accept the knowledge Si Chengyou taught her, while in Cell Block 8 back then, she had to constantly analyze, judge, summarize, and update herself at all times.
"Shen Yue, look at this map and tell me how to attack and completely clear the enemy's stronghold."
Shen Yue leaned over and glanced at the map, then quickly matched it with a section from the book and began to recite the answer from there.
Si Chengyou naturally knew that what Shen Yue said was all content from the textbook without any of her own thinking, but this was enough. He never thought of training Shen Yue into any kind of expert. As long as Shen Yue could bluff her way past the warden and get that quota to go out, that was fine.
Si Chengyou did not tell Shen Yue that the Flightless Bird mission this time was a think tank and there was no need to personally go to war, just to have an overall view from the base.
But without knowing whether it was safe or not, Shen Yue still agreed to him without hesitation.
"Si Chengyou, I've also read that x Battalion Firepower Organization Chart, is there anything else I need to remember?"
Shen Yue was now a ruthless memory machine.
Si Chengyou was pulled back to his thoughts by Shen Yue's words. He gently shook his head, "Don't look at anything else for now. I'll take you somewhere in the afternoon..."
"Do you want a snack now?"
"Eat 30-year aged Wujiang pickled vegetable. That kind that's fermented for 30 years."
Si Chengyou's steps faltered and he responded, "There's no Wujiang anymore. How about royal milk tea?"
"......Drink."
Shen Yue had not tasted anything familiar for a long time. She drank a whole large pot in one breath and successfully ate nothing for lunch.
In order not to let Shen Yue see and drool, Si Chengyou also accompanied Shen Yue in not eating lunch.
At 1 pm, Si Chengyou took Shen Yue out of Cell Block 5 and walked all the way to the prison gate.
Shen Yue did not know what Si Chengyou wanted to do, but she knew that the guard at the prison gate now was no longer the one she saw when she first entered the prison.
Si Chengyou said something to the guard that Shen Yue did not know. The guard then stood up and walked to the gate. After inserting the key, he started entering the password.
This password was the same as the one Tang You had entered at the beginning.
After the password was entered, the pitch-black gate slowly opened, revealing the endless blue sea and genuinely bright sunny sky outside Shen Yue’s vision.
Si Chengyou stepped out of the gate. The guard at the entrance did not stop him either, as if Si Chengyou was not a prisoner here but the master of this place.
Shen Yue caught up with Si Chengyou in two or three steps and asked, "Can prisoners just walk out of prison casually?"
Si Chengyou turned around and looked into Shen Yue's eyes seriously. "As long as you don't feel like a prisoner yourself, no one can lock you up."
Shen Yue tilted her head and directly exposed Si Chengyou's evasion, "You're changing the subject again."
Si Chengyou just smiled without answering. He walked all the way to the end of the land, to a distance where he was only one step away from jumping into the sea, before waving to Shen Yue, "I have something I want to show you."
Shen Yue looked at the guard not far away behind them, then at Si Chengyou, before going over.
The prison gate behind them was still open, as if waiting for them to return.
