Chapter 22 Chapter 22 (Catching Bugs) For Ren Xiaoyue,...
For Ren Xiaoyue, this wave of gains was fruitful. For Kevin, it was completely different.
"The boss's target is Sophia, and I am the one who is blind."
After reviewing the whole thing, Kevin grinned and muttered to himself.
He sat in the corner of the cell, hiding in the shadows. No one could see his expression, and naturally no one could know the pain in Kevin's heart.
When everything was settled and all the lost clues were connected, Kevin finally saw the truth hidden in the fog.
The unknown boss, or Molly, came for Sophia from the beginning.
Molly knew clearly everything in the prison, including the infighting among the prisoners and the betrayal of the companion who delivered the message to him. However, she was like a oriole hiding behind a mantis, waiting for the mantis to catch the cicada chirping without knowing it before taking action.
And he, Kaven, was the unlucky guy who suddenly jumped out and blocked the knife for Mantis!
After spending so much time with Sophia, Kevin has more or less understood Sophia's personality. If Molly was really beaten seriously by the prisoners, she would definitely attract Sophia's attention.
This plan was originally set up for Sophia, but he meddled in other people's business and ended up falling into the hands of the boss.
Kevin felt a lump in his throat when he thought of how Molly took out a supernatural item that could modify other people's memories as easily as taking up grass that could be found anywhere, and modified the memory of the prisoner lying on the ground in just two or three strokes.
Who could have thought that helping with a screw would end up like this?
Kevin didn't expect this.
Thinking of the task Molly assigned to him, Kevin couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Although I don't know why the boss is interested in you, I would rather die than have a friend die. I'm sorry, Sophia.

People do not share the same joys and sorrows. After resting for half a month, Ren Xiaoyue just felt happy.
There are still many good people in the world, and there are people everywhere who will give her a holiday.
She ended her leave and reported to her supervisor. Terence, her boss, looked at her with both relief and regret, and said with emotion: "You are my most promising employee. I didn't expect you would still be willing to stay on this floor after something like this happened."
Terence pinched the bridge of her nose. “Sometimes I feel like you could be more flexible.”
"But isn't it my stubbornness that you like, sir?" Ren Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Terence was infected by Ren Xiaoyue's smile. She put away her regrets and patted Ren Xiaoyue's shoulder kindly: "Okay, it's your first day back, so I won't assign you any tasks."
"There will be a group of interns coming this afternoon. You can help them get familiar with the environment. After they are familiar with the environment, you can go and have a rest."
Intern...Ren Xiaoyue's heart moved. On the surface, she still showed the demeanor that this character should have, and answered energetically, "Yes, sir."
Ren Xiaoyue didn't chat with Terence for too long. She left before her leader showed his intention to kick her out. On the first day after the holiday, many colleagues came to greet me. Ren Xiaoyue basically spends her morning dealing with colleagues.
In the afternoon, when the time Terence instructed came, Ren Xiaoyue couldn't wait to leave the office and walked towards the door.
If she's lucky enough, she might run into some acquaintances.
Ren Xiaoyue walked up the stairs briskly. She showed her ID, walked out of the gate, and saw the interns gathered together not far from the gate.
At a glance, Ren Xiaoyue recognized Lu Ze, Asther and Bertram in the crowd. The temperaments of these three people are obviously different from those of other students.
I actually encountered it. While slacking off on vacation, Ren Xiaoyue had already seen from the comics that Lu Ze and the others were preparing for their internship. I didn't expect to have such good luck on my first day. Ren Xiaoyue curved her brows and walked towards them.
"Are you the new interns on the 3rd floor?" Ren Xiaoyue asked loudly.
"Yes!" "It's us!" "Right!"
The students answered in a flurry.
Ren Xiaoyue nodded to the students and led them into their future workplace. On the way, she briefly introduced the prison structure and chatted with the students. After about ten minutes, Ren Xiaoyue brought the students to Terence.
After bringing the person there, Ren Xiaoyue left without any reluctance.
I hope taking them to prison today will be photogenic. She thought.

Since Lu Ze and others came to the prison, Ren Xiaoyue appeared in front of the readers again.
Ren Xiaoyue relied on her baby face and height to successfully join the group of protagonists. Fortunately, she now looks like a newly graduated student, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Ren Xiaoyue’s current position is a kind-hearted colleague who (looks) to be about the same age. Usually when she meets Lu Ze and others on the road, if she can go the same way with them, Ren Xiaoyue will definitely go with them.
Just like now, it happened to be her turn and Asthe's turn to be on duty at the same time, so Ren Xiaoyue naturally had lunch with Asthe.
Ren Xiaoyue held the food tray and sat opposite Aster. There were people coming and going in the cafeteria, and they sat in the corner, which was relatively quiet. Ren Xiaoyue ate a piece of crispy fried potato wedges and asked Aster casually, "Have you heard a rumor here?"
Astra was struggling with the pasta on her plate. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Ah? What rumor?"
Okay, I've taken the bait.
Ren Xiaoyue picked at the steak on the plate and said slowly, "I heard that there are unclean things in this prison. A colleague once walked into the elevator after get off work in the middle of the night, and he found that all the elevator buttons had changed to the 6th floor."
Asther uttered a surprised "Ah" and even rolled the pasta more slowly.
Ren Xiaoyue continued, "But those were rumors from a long time ago. Later, I heard that this colleague reported the matter, but the final investigation results showed that the colleague was influenced by the superpower prisoners during his inspection, so this problem occurred."
She paused and ate a piece of steak. "Well... but you know, all the superpowers in the prison are wearing suppressors. Anyone who can patrol this floor must also be a superpower, so this reason is not very tenable."
"It's not uncommon. Every once in a while, similar rumors appear in the prison. For example, there is someone outside, but no one answers when you knock on the door, or someone suddenly walks down the street and everyone treats him as invisible."
Ren Xiaoyue's topic aroused Asthe's interest, and Asthe asked, "Is there such a thing here?"
Seeing her curious look, Ren Xiaoyue didn't keep her in suspense. She sneered and said, "I heard it from Kevin."
Asthe was no longer curious.
"That guy..." There was obvious complaint in Aster's tone, "You should have told me from the beginning that you heard it from him. He claimed to know everything about prison, but in the end he did it just to avoid working!"
That's because the plot hasn't unfolded yet. You don't know that although Kevin talks a lot of nonsense, he does know a lot of things, Ren Xiaoyue complained in her heart.
Ren Xiaoyue herself doesn't have any feelings about Kaven, but the character she plays, Molly, is a person who believes in rules, so she will act like she doesn't like Kaven.
After listening to Aster's words, Ren Xiaoyue asked curiously, "It seems that you have also been harassed by him?"
"No, how could that be!" Aster said stubbornly, "I definitely won't listen to his nonsense."
It's been a long time since we last met, and you're still as proud as ever. Ren Xiaoyue pretended not to realize anything and complained to Aster like pouring beans: "Really? I was deceived by him several times. Once when I was carving an amulet, he told me that there were prisoners who wanted to fight, so he and I went there in vain. But he didn't get anything good either, and he was put in solitary confinement in the end."
"Another time, he told me mysteriously that Sophia was going to beat him up. He said it in a very serious way, so I went to Sophia's place several times during those few days, but nothing happened."
Ren Xiaoyue sighed, her voice became much quieter, as if she was talking to herself: "No, it can't be said that it didn't happen. Something did happen around Sophia, but it wasn't that she wanted to do something to others, but that someone wanted to target her."
"Also, this time," Ren Xiaoyue said, "I specifically asked Terence, and she said the rumor was not wrong."
"That's right?" Asthe frowned and repeated Ren Xiaoyue's words.
Ren Xiaoyue waved her hand, motioning Aster to come closer. She lowered her voice and whispered in Aster's ear: "She said these things really happened, but they are not supernatural events. It's because there is a very powerful supernatural item in the prison. By the way, Terence said that it's okay to tell us this, but don't tell the prisoners."
"It is because of this supernatural item that this prison has been able to prevent any prisoners from escaping."
In this world, not only humans have evolved superpowers, but plants and animals also have superpowers. The so-called supernatural items are items made from plants and animals with supernatural powers as raw materials.
Of course, as primates, humans can also be used as materials for supernatural items...but this has not been made public, and people who use supernatural people to make supernatural items will also be wanted.
"So that's how it is... You are really well-informed!" said Asther.
After hearing all the gossip, Asthe couldn't help but feel that her decision to have dinner with her colleagues was the right one. At the same time, she felt a little embarrassed.
Alas, Molly didn't know that I came here not for an internship, but to find someone.
Ren Xiaoyue didn't notice Asthea's sudden sentimentality, and then said indirectly: "I first heard this news from Kevin, so I think he might have something, but he just tells more lies."
Astra was thoughtful. She rolled up the last bite of pasta with her fork and said, "I remember that he came here for stealing, but he is such a liar."
At this point, Ren Xiaoyue sneered: "He still says every day that he only does things like robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Aster exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't he in here for robbing a bank?"
Ren Xiaoyue looked like she was too lazy to talk about it anymore, so she changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. Are you guys going to the party this week?"
Some things are better left alone. The seeds of doubt have been planted, and Asthe will always find something wrong.
Ren Xiaoyue mentioned the writer's block a few times, but was not prepared to reveal too much to Asthea directly. This is just an attempt. Perhaps her action this time will be serialized into the comics as a plot to introduce the character of Kaven.
As the saying goes, since you are here, it won’t hurt to give it a try.
Ren Xiaoyue thought so, and after finishing her meal, she parted ways with Asthe and walked towards the dormitory. She had nothing to do in the afternoon patrol, so she planned to go back to the dormitory. Ren Xiaoyue turned a corner and stared blankly.
"You don't go every time. Don't you give me face?"
Someone was talking not far away. Ren Xiaoyue heard an arrogant female voice.
"Sorry, I don't like going to crowded places." Another female voice replied calmly.
This is such a pleasant surprise that she happened to run into a plot that could be filmed on camera. Ren Xiaoyue stopped when she recognized the two men's voices.
