Chapter 139

The next day, Shen Yue prepared to go to Building 6 as agreed with Si Chengyou, just as the killer said yesterday. Many prisoners who were not newcomers were stationed at the entrance of the Newcomer Building, and their purpose was self-evident. When they saw Shen Yue, they surrounded her like wolves seeing meat, just waiting for Shen Yue to step out of the Newcomer Building's protected area before making their move.

Shen Yue thought for a while without taking any rash actions. Instead, she stood still in the safe zone and waited quietly.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Si Chengyou walked over from not far away and finally stopped five steps away from her. "I'm here to pick you up," he said.

Shen Yue didn't speak and just nodded, looking very aloof.

Si Chengyou didn't mind. On the contrary, he praised Shen Yue, "Your judgment just now was very correct. You didn't leave the Newcomer Building casually. Did Ma Sha teach you that? Or Shen Hui?"

Shen Yue hadn't intended to answer, but Si Chengyou's question happened to touch her heart. So she said softly, "It was Ma Sha. She said that if you determine something is dangerous, don't rush to do it and wait for a while. Who knows, there might be a turning point."

Si Chengyou nodded and affirmed Shen Yue's words. Then he asked, "That's indeed what Ma Sha would say. Did she tell you what to do if no turning point appeared?"

Shen Yue answered without any hesitation, "Then run away."

Si Chengyou was not surprised to hear this answer. Ma Sha had regarded Shen Yue completely as a child who needed to be protected under her wings. Naturally, she would only teach her how to protect herself rather than how to take the initiative to attack.

"Do you think Ma Sha's words are right?" By now, Si Chengyou had already brought Shen Yue out of the Newcomer Building. The prisoners who had eyed Shen Yue ferociously earlier withdrew their gazes when they saw Si Chengyou guarding her side. They became extremely docile. "What would you have done if I hadn't come?"

Shen Yue looked at the group of prisoners far away and started thinking. If she had listened to Ma Sha's words and escaped just now, how could she have achieved her goal?

"Ma Sha is right, just not suitable for me now," Shen Yue came up with an answer after thinking for a while.

She could escape, but she couldn't escape now. Si Chengyou's mouth curled up slightly, seemingly happy that Shen Yue had made the right choice. "If there is no turning point, you need to go create one. Every piece of information you got from Aipulier can become a knife in your hand."

Shen Yue was not surprised that Si Chengyou knew she had obtained information from Aipulier. She couldn't see through the man before her, so she didn't bother thinking about why Si Chengyou would know these things. Instead, she followed Si Chengyou's words and began to think about the records of those prisoners in the prison records, trying to find a turning point from them.

Si Chengyou did not disturb Shen Yue. The two walked quietly to Building 6 like this.

Under Si Chengyou's lead, Shen Yue obtained the white coat she had worn during her time studying here in Building 6 as easily as before. Then she was arranged at a workstation to treat patients.

This job was not difficult for Shen Yue. During that time at Building 6, her mind had already memorized how to use and treat various external injuries. As long as she matched with her memory, she would know what to do.

Si Chengyou watched Shen Yue's actions all the time, and his eyes gradually showed astonishment.

As far as he knew, Shen Yue had been completely ignorant about medicine before. It was only after Ma Sha was injured that time that she started learning at Building 6, not even a full year. Could she reach this level in such a short time?

But after observing for a while longer, Si Chengyou realized Shen Yue's problem. Her way of making judgments seemed to be slightly different from that of ordinary doctors.

Combining with the information he had bought, Si Chengyou picked up a book that Shen Yue had studied during her time at Building 6. Suddenly he asked, "What is the content on page 284 of the NJ Medical Manual?"

Without much thought, Shen Yue quickly found that section in her memory and recited it from the first word to the last, without missing anything. What's more, she recited it in the original language.

Only then did Si Chengyou realize why Shen Yue looked like she had no self and why Ma Sha had specifically asked him to pay attention to Shen Yue. With such an ability, she was indeed dangerous.

Under Ma Sha's influence, Shen Yue could still be a harmless girl. But after Ma Sha left, once Shen Yue encountered someone with impure intentions, she would be cultivated into something terrible.

Si Chengyou closed the book in his hand and looked at Shen Yue, who seemed to be waiting for his next words after finishing reciting the content. He let out a soft sigh. "Have you ever used that passage you just recited in real life?"

Shen Yue honestly shook her head. "No."

"You're like a machine right now that mechanically memorizes the knowledge, experience and even the method you just used to bandage the prisoners you've encountered. Have you ever thought about why you should do it that way?"

Shen Yue shook her head again.

"You have to understand why first before you can better utilize this knowledge and experience. Some things can be memorized while some don't need to be memorized." Shen Yue didn't respond to these words. Si Chengyou had strong observational skills. If not necessary, she didn't want to talk too much in front of this person in case she got seen through.

Although now she had been seen through pretty thoroughly already.

"Do you know why I asked you to sit here?" Si Chengyou raised another question, making Shen Yue suddenly feel like she was back in elementary school, being called up by the teacher to answer questions. If she answered incorrectly, she would have to stand.

Shen Yue had wanted to answer that she didn't know, but Si Chengyou had just told her to think. So Shen Yue thought about it for a while and came up with an answer that sounded quite plausible. "You want to find out my bottom line."

Si Chengyou: ......

At this moment, Si Chengyou had very complicated feelings. Although that was indeed part of his intention, he didn't expect Shen Yue to just blurt it out so bluntly.

Should he say Shen Yue was indeed worthy of being Shen Hui's most trusted younger sister? Their social skills were exactly the same explosive style.

However, Si Chengyou was someone who had seen a lot. He didn't show too much emotion towards Shen Yue's words, only replied, "What you said is one reason, but I have an even more important purpose for bringing you to Building 6."

Si Chengyou paused and went to close the door before continuing, "The prisoners who come to Building 6 all have incurable wounds. You must remember where their injuries are. That will become one of your weapons."

Originally, Si Chengyou had only planned to let Shen Yue remember the weaknesses of the Newcomer Building prisoners as a bargaining chip during the building battle. But since she had such an outstanding memory, she might as well remember them all.

After hearing this, it took Shen Yue a while before she nodded slowly.

Then the two didn't interact anymore. Si Chengyou sat not far from Shen Yue, reading a book, while Shen Yue sat at the door, meticulously remembering the locations of all the wounds on the prisoners who appeared before her, without missing anyone.

When it was dinner time, work at Building 6 also ended temporarily. As Si Chengyou got up to leave directly, he heard an unexpected sentence from Shen Yue when he passed by her.

"Thank you."

Shen Yue's tone was still flat, but Si Chengyou knew Shen Yue was indeed thanking him.

Si Chengyou, who had originally wanted to leave Shen Yue alone to test the results of today's teaching, suddenly changed his mind. He turned and asked Shen Yue, "Want to go eat dinner together?"

Shen Yue weighed her current situation and didn't hesitate for long. "Yes."

Si Chengyou had probed her today, so she also needed to obtain more information to keep things fair.
