The two got on the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
Shen Yue thought about it, pressed the number for the 4th floor, and found that the elevator could reach the floor.
But she couldn't press the 35th floor.
Martha saw Shen Yue's actions and explained, "There is no restriction on the elevator going from the upper floors to the lower floors, but from the lower floors to the upper floors, iris recognition is required, or someone from the upper floors must give temporary access. However, all temporary access permissions will be recorded and passed to the prison guards."
Shen Yue asked, "Can the prison guards reach every floor?"
Martha shook her head. "A prison guard can only reach the floor where the prisoners he is responsible for are. By the way, what is your prison guard's name?"
When Shen Yue heard this question, she realized that the prison guard who had just sent her here had never reported his name, but only said that he was number 14.
14, which means death, is such an unlucky number.
"He said his name was Guard No. 14."
Martha didn't seem surprised by this title. "My name is prison guard No. 4. We are really destined to be together. Even our prison guard numbers are similar."
Shen Yue remained silent.
According to superstition, neither 4 nor 14 are lucky numbers.
As the two were talking, the elevator stopped on the 4th floor. When the elevator opened, the people outside saw someone in the elevator was visibly stunned, and then he made a gesture of invitation.
Martha understood what she meant and closed the elevator door directly. She also explained to Shen Yue, "People on different floors generally cannot move together, otherwise they will be reported to the outside by the prison guards."
“What will happen if it is passed to the outside world?”
"You should have seen the manual. The criterion for living in Building No. 1 is value. Your value is determined by those outside. If you do something you shouldn't do and make those outside unhappy, your value will be reduced."
Shen Yue vaguely understood something, but this was only one side of the story, and she still had to look into the specific situation herself.
"If they couldn't act together, why would someone from the first floor come up to use the toilet?"
When Martha heard Shen Yue's question, she was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "I don't care about that. The people in Building 1 have a hard time. If you mind, I won't let them up in the future."
Shen Yue nodded, "Well, don't put it up then, I don't like it."
Martha, who originally thought that Shen Yue would at least understand her on the surface, was blocked from saying the next words. She looked shocked and said, "You are really honest."
Shen Yue said as a matter of course, "There is no need to lie."
If she doesn't like something, she just doesn't like it. She doesn't want to cater to anyone anymore.
Martha smiled and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch Shen Yue's head, but after meeting Shen Yue's eyes, she silently withdrew her hand, "It feels like you are still a child... Come to the restaurant with me, so I can protect you."
It is no exaggeration to describe Martha's figure as slender. Although she has a curvy figure, she does not look strong. Now wearing a large T-shirt, she looks even more fragile. The word "protect" seems particularly unconvincing when she says it.
But after the two of them left the private area of Building No. 1, Shen Yue understood what Martha meant by protection.
Outside the private area of Building 1, six people were standing side by side. There were both men and women among them, with different body shapes, looks and skin colors. The only thing was that they were all wearing the same prison uniform with the number 2 written on the front and the back.
