The next day.

The young prison guard was dressed neatly, preparing for the morning routine inspection.

Several elderly people came over and instructed him, "You don't need to go in today. We'll go in to inspect the place. You clean the room thoroughly so we can receive our guests later."

"Oh, I see."

The young prison guard didn't think much of it; after all, the middle-aged man had insisted on returning to his cell in the middle of the night, so there was nothing to worry about.

Thinking about the other person leaving, he felt a strange mix of melancholy and joy.

Lu Yulan couldn't actually come over; it was just a holographic projection meeting.

But once the communication is turned on...

For a second, she was truly stunned, feeling as if she had left the asteroid and arrived on another planet.

If Xiaomi hadn't been constantly popping into her head, she might have taken a while to come to her senses.

I don't know when, but Xiaomi had enough energy, and it started talking in her head.

This is truly a sad thing.

The criminals on the planet didn't expect Lu Yulan to recover so quickly; some of their previous guests hadn't even calmed down by the time they left.

After all, only the military and the royal family possess the technology for interplanetary communication.

Because... it's too expensive.

The oldest-looking prison guard stepped forward.

"Hello, sir. These are all the criminals who meet the criteria. You can choose from them. The price for hiring them is in the bottom right corner."

"Thanks."

Lu Yulan looked at them one by one, and the first ones that appeared were all burly, strong men, which made Lu Yulan feel a little uncomfortable.

These people are too tall and big; she's a girl, she can't handle it.

It wasn't discrimination; after all, her former editor was a big, burly man.

But the 3D projections of these people had such fierce eyes that she chickened out.

Quickly flip over.

The prison guard, who had been smiling, lost his smile when he saw Lu Yulan quickly turn to the next page.

The group exchanged glances and then spoke tactfully.

"Sir, the men at the front are tall and strong, with excellent stamina, making them ideal for the job. Moreover, their hiring fees are very cheap. Sir, wouldn't you like to consider them?"

Lu Yulan smiled politely, "Thank you, I like people I find pleasing to the eye."

The junior prison guard was initially worried that the man wouldn't be chosen after seeing the first few people, but now it seems there's no need to worry.

Yesterday, he made sure the man took a proper bath and got him very clean.

As a result, the young prison guard was somewhat unhappy when he still didn't see the holographic projection of the middle-aged man.

What's going on?

He quickly looked at the old prison guard who handed the quantum computer to Lu Yulan.

"Senior, did you not gather all the information?"

"Is someone missing from here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You've only been here for three months, what right do you have to point fingers? How could I have missed registering people?"

The old prison guard glared fiercely at the young prison guard.

The young prison guard pursed his lips, his hands nervously clasped together.

"That's how it is."

The young prison guard instinctively puffed out his chest; he wanted to protect his friend.

But they didn't see the guilty expressions on the faces of the other prison guards when they heard those words.

"Why isn't F494 here? I clearly asked him yesterday, and he agreed. Why isn't it here?"

"Oh, you mean him."

The old prison guard breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's so old, the guests won't like him."

Lu Yulan stood to the side, touching the tip of her nose, pondering how to begin.

The old prison guards stood in a group, while the boy stood alone to one side, looking rather unpleasant.

However, she shouldn't judge a book by its cover before she knows the truth.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a way that avoided offending either side, "Since the other party has agreed, I'll take a look too. The work there isn't heavy, and being a bit older won't be a problem."

"If possible, could you please ask around for me? It's actually quite simple there, but I'd like to take a closer look."

The implication is that Lu Yulan wasn't particularly satisfied with any of these people.

If the boy hadn't spoken up, she might have just settled for him, who knows? But since she could choose someone more suitable, she naturally wanted something better.

The old prison guard didn't say much after hearing this.

After all, it was Lu Yulan herself who didn't like him, so she just gave the boy a cryptic look.

Then, smiling, he looked at Lu Yulan and said, "Guest, please wait a little longer. We'll give you an answer this afternoon, okay?"

"Can."

As soon as Lu Yulan finished answering, the other party cut off the video call.

This left her somewhat stunned.

[Host, those old men don't seem like good people.]

"How so?"

Lu Yulan did see the prison guard's last look, which really frightened her.

【What do you mean, how do I say it? I'm not human, how would I understand your intricacies? You've already seen through it all, why are you asking me?】

Lu Yulan: ...

I'm innocent, okay? It was you who insisted on cosplaying Sherlock Holmes, and I was just playing along.

"Their eyes weren't very friendly."

Who's giving me that unfriendly look?

Lu Yuanhong appeared silently in front of Lu Yulan once again.

Lu Yulan was so frightened that her legs went weak, so she avoided the embarrassing idea of ​​hiding under the table.

Lu Yulan now only wanted to kill the other person with her eyes, her expressionless face.

If I get scared twice more, my heart condition will be ruined.

"I'm sorry, your door wasn't closed. I knocked, and when I heard you talking to yourself, I thought you..."
