Yue Xin’s calm reaction seemed to be within Su Yu’s expectations. He continued, “My father killed my mother and thought that she was beautiful. He thought that beautiful things had to be fixed with death.”

Yue Xin nodded again.

“Three months ago, I killed my brother and sister because they wanted to kill me,” Su Yu said as she looked at the sky. For the first time, he did not observe the expressions of the people around him as he spoke. It was as if he was simply telling Yue Xin what had happened.

Yue Xin knew how to be a qualified listener. She gave feedback at the right time. “What can I do for you?”

Su Yu did not answer. Instead, he continued, “The dark night seems to be destined to be lonely. Everyone is afraid of the dark night and is afraid of being devoured by the dark night. However, if you want to keep someone in the dark night, it’s very simple. You just have to trap them in a nightmare.”

Su Yu was hinting at something. Yue Xin recalled the rumors about her that she had heard recently and immediately understood what he meant. Tomorrow was the allocation ceremony. As the only winner this time, Yue Xin knew that she would definitely enter Building No.7. The only difference was whether she could be the person in charge.

First of all, her recent actions were enough for everyone in the prison to categorize her as Su Yu’s friend. Su Yu and the prisoners in Building No.

4 were already a headache. If they placed a building under an ally of Building No. 4, it would only make everyone’s headache worse.

Based on this consideration, there would definitely be people who would secretly urge the prisoners in Building No.7 to protest against the change of power. Building No.7 was different from the other buildings. Building No.7 had to choose the powerhouse through a democratic vote. Every prisoner in Building No.7 was special. They did not submit to one another. This led to all the resources in Building No.7 to be equally distributed. Otherwise, there would be an uncontrollable conflict. Without a clear hierarchy, in the case of everyone being equal, the powerhouse could only be elected by election. There was often a situation during the election of Building No.7. Everyone voted for themselves, causing Building No 7 to be without a powerhouse for a long time. Everyone was doing their own thing. Until now, the powerhouse appeared. He became the powerhouse by relying on the advantage of two votes. There were only two votes, but it was enough.

If Yue Xin couldn’t get more votes, she wouldn’t be able to become the person in charge of Building No. 7. Although she didn’t deliberately pay attention to it, she knew that the higher-ups of Building No. 1 would definitely object to her becoming the person in charge. She knew the internal situation of Building No.l very well and had interacted with the people in Building No.l. It was too dangerous to let a person like her to become the person in charge of Building No.7.

Building No. 2 and Building No. 4 were archenemies. Of course, they did not want Building No. 4 to have more allies, so they had been sending things to Building No. 7 recently.

Building No. 3 was neutral and didn’t care about these things. Building No. 5 didn’t do anything on the surface, but it was unknown in private. Building No. 6 was obvious. They clearly objected to Yue Xin becoming the leader. They felt that having another lunatic as the leader would greatly increase their workload. Building No. 8 didn’t do anything for the time being. Yue Xin had no conflict of interest with them. It could even be said that they were tied together, so they had no reason to stop Yue Xin.

Up until now, only Building No.4 remained silent. Today, Su Yu came to tell Yue Xin this to confirm the truth.

[If the night wants to keep a person, it only needs to trap him in a nightmare.] He wanted to break Yue Xin’s wings so that she could only rely on him.

Yue Xin was not surprised at all. Su Yu had always been such a person. It should be said that he was very similar to her now. They both wanted to force someone to a dead end. They would only be at ease when there was only one choice left.

But Yue Xin wouldn’t be forced into a corner. She just made it look like she had only one choice. This was a skill Denise had taught her. Show weakness.

She turned around and looked at Su Yu. With a perfect voice and speed, she instructed, “Su Yu, look at me.”

Su Yu looked at her. The white moonlight shone on Yue Xin’s body, making Yue

Xin’s entire body emit a holy light. He saw the shadow that belonged to him in Yue Xin’s eyes. For a moment, he seemed to be forever immersed in Yue Xin’s gentle eyes, but he could not confirm the last place of her gaze.

Everything around them seemed to have frozen at the moment when the two of them looked at each other. Everything was silent. Only their intertwined breaths could confirm each other’s existence.

Su Yu didn’t know what to think for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he had already touched the warmth that made him feel comfortable. It was engraved in his palm and he couldn’t let it go easily.

He heard Yue Xin say, “The night is not only dark, but there is also moonlight.” Moonlight.

Su Yu repeated the term in his heart as he looked at Yue Xin’s face. No one knew what he was thinking..
