Chapter 128 Preparation for Release from Prison
At 8:30 in the morning, Hua Si held Gou San in her arms, carried a backpack, picked up her eldest brother’s cage and eldest brother, put on the new black prison uniform issued by the prison, and walked out of the former residence of the human hero.

At this time, prisoners were sitting in groups of three or four on the benches under the plane trees at the entrance of Prison Block No. 8.

Look up.

Hey!
Aren’t these her colleagues in the library, whose average age is 60?

If it weren’t for the black prison uniforms they were wearing, they would look like a group of old men and women chatting and enjoying the cool air in a residential area.

And when Hua Si walked towards them, someone with a sharp eye recognized her at a glance.

“Little Seven?”

The person who spoke was a prisoner who had once given Hua Si soy milk.

As soon as he opened his mouth, several pairs of eyes that were much sharper than their age were all cast towards Hua Si.

There’s no way around it. In a place like Ward 8, even if a rat ran out, people would take a second look.

What’s more, the person who came out now was Hua Si, who was rumored to be under close investigation.

“Xiao Qi, are you ready to come back to work?”

The old man was about to walk towards Hua Si, but was stopped by the old prisoner lady next to him, who thought she was hiding from him.

This pull made the old man react immediately:
“Look, I almost forgot, Xiao Qi, you are an Evolver now, so you won’t be working with us, right?”

Hua Si did not answer the old man’s question immediately.

Instead, he walked up to the group of people who were having breakfast and glanced at the old prisoner lady who had just grabbed the old man.

If I remember correctly, this old lady was not only very kind to her in the past, but also treated her to steamed buns.

But now, under the flower-like gaze, her whole body tensed up.

Looking at her eyes, there was no longer the joy that he had in the past when he appreciated her excellent work ability. Instead, there was vigilance and defensiveness in her eyes.

And this look seemed familiar to Hua.

This is the way these elderly colleagues look at the prisoners in Ward 9.

The prisoner was about to say something to ease the atmosphere.

Hua seemed not to notice the attitudes of others. She smiled innocently as always and greeted the group of elderly colleagues:
“Good morning, seniors!”

Looking at the little girl in front of them, who had two shallow dimples and was smiling sweetly and softly at them.

The people who had just felt alienated and wary of Hua Si, saw this smile that was no different from the past and thought of their past interactions with Hua Si.

They all couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed, and the old lady who had just held the prisoner even felt a little guilty.

What a nice girl!

He is capable, but never takes advantage of his talent and is very caring towards these old guys.

If Hua Si hadn’t helped them and allowed them to leave work early that day the alarm sounded, they wouldn’t know if they would be able to stand here safely now.

How can you look at her with tinted glasses just because she became an evolver?

If the little girl knew this, she would be so sad!

The old prisoner lady who had just been pulling the old man immediately broke into a smile.

The smile seemed a little unnatural at first, but gradually the old lady’s kindness almost bloomed from every wrinkle of her face.

“Xiao Qi, can you come back? If you’re not around, I’m afraid we’ll have to go back to the old ways.”

It’s not that life was bad in the past. Three hours of work could earn you a pretty comfortable life.

Not only can you eat in the cafeteria frequently, but you can also occasionally have a meal of source beast meat, which even evolvers find too expensive.

No social worries, no intrigue, no troubles with unpleasant leaders. This life is almost better than 70% of the people out there.

But people are lazy. Once we get used to punching in and out easily and living a life without having to do anything, we always feel like we are losing out if we go to work in a disciplined manner.

After hearing what the old lady said, everyone became very enthusiastic and came forward to gather the flowers, just like a small press conference.

“Xiao Qi, today is our first day back to work. Are you coming back to work too?”

“Xiao Qi, you’re carrying and lifting all the time, do you have a new job in there?”

“Xiao Qi, with you here, we have finally experienced what it means to live out our lives in peace and contentment. We really don’t want to let you go. If the prison allows, can you stay?”

“Yes, you look like a simple-minded girl. The people in the villa of prison block 8 are of noble character and will not embarrass you. But as the saying goes, little devils are difficult to deal with. If you work there, you will inevitably have to deal with the evolvers from prison block 9. Why don’t you stay with us in the library?”

“Yes, yes, yes! This is a stable job in the prison. The salary is better than your part-time job in Ward 8. If there is no problem with the prison, you should stay with us!”

Facing those pairs of eager and expectant eyes, she seemed to be the light of hope for everyone.

The flower seemed to droop its head slightly, revealing a forced smile that was two parts sad, three parts guilty, and four parts reluctant:
“My dear seniors, if possible, I would like to continue working with you, but…”

Before Hua Si could finish her words, an elderly colleague clapped excitedly:
“Okay! As long as you have this intention, we will work together to fight for you. Since you are so favored by the Spirit Book, even if you become an Evolver, the Spirit Book should accept it. As long as we get the permission from the prison, this matter will not be difficult to do!”

“But.”

As soon as Hua Si opened her mouth, an old lady raised her hand to block her words.

“No buts! You don’t have to worry about Director Xia. The library was just repaired yesterday, and Director Xia urged us to resume work. Today, she also issued a notice to recruit new people. She also offered three times the labor points for us old people, hoping that we can increase our working hours. You are a talent who can do the work of seven people. She will definitely be happy to have you stay!”

“If I could stay”

She will definitely stay!
But before Hua Si could share the news that he would be released from prison today with his elderly former colleagues who already felt that fate was in their hands and the outcome was decided.

She was interrupted again:

“No ifs! You are so outstanding, you must believe in yourself! You just need to muster up the courage to fight for yourself.”

Thinking that Hua was just a shy girl who was too embarrassed to try to break the convention, everyone started to stop persuading her to stay and started to praise her for her excellence and encourage her to fight for herself.

In order to avoid the situation like before where he was interrupted by a group of excited old men and women before he could finish his words.

Hua Si immediately expressed her high agreement with everyone’s words:
“Yes, it’s a shame to lose such a good job! I also think I should work hard for myself, so, seniors, can I ask you how to extend my sentence in prison immediately?”

Everyone was confused by the flowery questions.

Then someone asked Hua Si for confirmation: “Xiao Qi, did you say something wrong? You probably want to know how to reduce your sentence, right?”

Huasi shook her head vigorously, her tone serious and earnest:

“No, I just want to know how to extend my sentence, because I can’t bear to leave you and this place! The food here is delicious, the people are kind, and I don’t have to work eight hours. My colleagues talk nicely. I have never been encouraged like I am today. If possible, I want to stay here forever!”

A group of elderly prisoners: “…” If it weren’t for the little girl in front of them, tears would have welled up in her eyes. Every time her beautiful eyes blinked, it seemed as if she was trying to squeeze the tears out. She would hold hands with them and look into their tearful eyes.

They had to poke her forehead and curse at her a few times to wake the young girl up.

No matter how good it is here, there is no freedom after all. Unless there is something wrong with your brain, how can you be so young and unable to think positively and want to stay here forever?

But Huasi was still trying to fight for staying, and her little mouth didn’t stop:
“Life here is so good, I was planning to bring my dad in as well, so that we could be reunited, but the bad news came too suddenly. I was notified of my release from prison last night, and the prison kicked me out today. If there is any shortcut to increase my sentence, please be sure to teach me everything you know! If I stay, I will repay you!”

silence!

Dead silence.

Everyone was confused and in a complicated mood after hearing the news that Hua Si was going to be released from prison today and her resistance to being released.

Until the old man who first spoke to Huasi, with an expression that was hard to describe, praised with great difficulty:
“Xiao Qi, you are a good and filial child, but for your father’s sake, I think he would rather you get out than let you in. How can the prison’s decision be changed? We also don’t have any way to make you stay. Since the prison wants you out, you should get out.”

The old lady who had eaten the buns finally came to her senses and immediately agreed:
“Yes, Xiao Qi, if you miss your dad, just go out and accompany her by yourself, but don’t even think about bringing anyone in!”

Normal parents can’t stand this unconventional way of filial piety!

If the girl hadn’t spoken clearly and was not so young, she would have been sure that there was something wrong with her brain.

At this time, the old prisoner who had led the other prisoners in the interview and had basically no contact with them because of the shift change suddenly spoke:
“Your life here is certainly good, but here, whether you are an ordinary person or an evolver, we are all just a string of numbers without even our own names. Only when you leave here can you have your own name.”

After the oldest prisoner said this, the others came to their senses and joined the ranks of those who were trying to persuade the prisoners.

Everyone was afraid that she would become unhappy and stay here forever.

Something like she is still young and has unlimited possibilities, something like the world is big and you should see more while you are young, it will not be too late to come in when you are older.

From dreams to philosophy, from family to love, this group of old men and women who felt that their experience was much richer than flowers, said a lot of good and bad things, and finally sent away the little girl who was in tears because she was reluctant to leave this place.

Watching her leaving, someone suddenly sighed:

“Alas, such a well-behaved girl, if she becomes troublesome, can also make people worry. No matter how hard life is outside, you can breathe the air of freedom. Who among the prisoners here with a sentence of less than 50 years does not want to have his sentence reduced?”

When these words came out, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Coming out of the atmosphere of comforting the little girl, many questions emerged in everyone’s mind at this moment. What crime did the little girl commit before, and how could she be released immediately after serving her sentence?
Since she didn’t work in Ward 8, how did she get out of there so early in the morning?

Why should she be allowed to go today if she was notified of her release yesterday?

She was released from prison. Was there really any so-called thorough investigation?

……

……

A farewell social event designed to build her reputation as a good person left Hua Si with a series of questions for her former colleagues.

And she extracted a useful piece of information from the conversation just now——

Zhazhashu has already started to make great efforts to take advantage of the book club.

Moreover, Zhazhashu’s way of making money should be the same as her nanny fee, which is calculated on a daily basis.

Otherwise, Charlotte wouldn’t be so anxious. He would issue a notice to recruit new employees and offer three times the labor points to the old employees in order to increase their working hours.

Hua Si also decided to take advantage of the prison.

Exchange all her labor points into Alliance Coins, and don’t leave a single labor point behind to let the prison that kicked her out take advantage of her!
This service can be handled at any electronic service desk in the ordinary prison area, so Hua Si planned to do this when he returned to Prison Area No. 7 to collect his things.

After this period of renovation, the main building of Prison Block No. 7 that was previously destroyed by the snow beast has been repaired and reinforced and restored to its former appearance.

It was not yet time for Prison Block No. 7 to move to the labor reform area, and the small square of Huizi Building was full of life.

Small groups chatting in twos and threes were scattered in various corners, while the badminton court in the middle was occupied by people who loved this sport and attracted a lot of onlookers.

Although no one was making loud noises, it still seemed lively.

If the female prisoners weren’t wearing the same black prison uniform, this place would look like a high school campus.

And her flower-like entrance, like the sudden appearance of the dean, instantly froze the lively atmosphere.

Her appearance attracted almost everyone’s attention.

This scene was very similar to when she had just returned from graduate school.

But at that time, people looked at her with contempt, but now they look at her with fear.

The female prisoner in Ward No. 7 who had witnessed Hua Shi squatting beside the snow beast’s corpse with a cold face and prying off its nails without paying attention to the blood splattering had already spread the matter.

And the rumors are getting more and more outrageous.

The flower in their eyes now is no longer the frail newbie who fainted easily.

He is a psychopath, possibly a necrophiliac.

In addition, she recently awakened on her own and became rumored to be an evolver.

This immediately made Hua Shi’s dangerousness level jump to the number one dangerous element in Ward 7 in everyone’s mind.

Of course, the flowers themselves are unaware of this.

I just thought that the fear in everyone’s eyes was because of her excellence.

After all, destroying the snow beast’s corpse is also for the purpose of having a handy weapon in hand. As for prying a few more, they can sell them at a high price.

Isn’t it also to increase the combat effectiveness of evacuating prisoners?
If she knew that her reputation was damaged despite her good deeds, Hua Sigao would have to shut herself in for two minutes, and then try hard to restore her precarious reputation.

But she didn’t know anything.

Go directly to the electronic service desk on the 2nd floor to complete the labor point conversion procedures.

Looking at the bank account linked to her citizen ID number and the extra six-digit deposit, Hua smiled brightly with her teeth bared.

I didn’t expect that as the adopted daughter of the Fu family, I didn’t have a savings of more than ten thousand yuan, but going to jail once could be accomplished so easily.

I don’t know whether to say that the Fu family is stingy or to praise the Yancheng Prison for its arrogance.

She really doesn’t want to leave!

But she knew that since Xiaobai thought she was asleep last night and deliberately notified her in the middle of the night, nothing was up to her anymore.

Hua Si put away the prisoner ID card. Even though there was an extra six figures in the account, she knew that compared with the rich people in this world, she was still a poor man.

Therefore, she decided to visit Qiao Yi and Chu Yina before she was released from prison.

These two are both big money sponsors.
