Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

New Year's Day, or New Year.

This day of chronological change is quite important and worth commemorating, no matter which civilization it is.

Fontaine is no exception.

Most schools, and even a few companies that follow the Fontaine Labor Law, will use the bridge holiday method (that is, if two holidays are interspersed with a working day, the working day will also be treated as a holiday), starting from the Thousand Spirits Festival on December 12th to January 26nd or January 1rd of the following year.

Therefore, in Fontaine on the ground, people had just finished cleaning up the decorations for the Thousand Spirits Festival and were about to start preparing for the New Year.

Fortunately, although the people of Fontaine have little enthusiasm for work, they are very motivated and enthusiastic about activities outside of work, especially those during holidays.

......

Chao Ke walked out of Leosley's office.

When he came out, he had an extra slip of free entry and exit specially approved by the [Warden], as well as two work badges for restaurant members. With these badges, restaurant prisoners and employees can go out within the reporting time.

He put the two work badges into his trouser pockets and walked straight towards the [cell area].

There is no rush to select a site and build the [Jia Ziwei Restaurant, Mello Petersburg Branch].

After all, with the building props provided by the system, decorating the restaurant is just a matter of a moment.

There was still a lot of time left on his sentence. Moreover, after Chao Ke finished serving his sentence in [Mello Petersburg], he would be able to apply for a permanent free entry and exit document from Leosli, which would be issued to collaborators.

Chao Ke walked towards the elevator for a while, then turned back helplessly and looked at the security lady who had been following him.

"I say, Miss Guard."

"Mr. Leosley is suspicious of the new collaborator and has someone keep an eye on me."

"I can understand that."

"But Miss, could you please stay a little further away from me? Or, could you hide a little? It's impossible to follow the target closely when someone is following you."

"Hmm~ yeah~"

The young guard following behind Chao Ke nodded subconsciously, responding to Chao Ke's words, but then she reacted and shook her head quickly.

"No... You can't."

"Mr. Leosley specifically instructed me to follow closely behind you when I'm following you."

"The commander said, 'Even if we follow him from a distance, he will find us. It's better to follow him closely so we don't lose him.'"

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Leosley also said that if you feel uncomfortable with being followed, you can get rid of me at any time."

"have to."

Chao Ke sighed, this guy Leosli...his guess was really accurate.

As long as this girl chooses to follow him quietly, Chao Ke guarantees that it will only take one second to get out of her surveillance field of view and make her lose her target.

but...

The frank way of tracking, coupled with the fact that the guard looked a bit innocent, actually made Chao Ke hesitate for a moment, wondering whether he should abandon her...

Forget it, since this question is not easy to choose, just throw it to someone else.

So, Chao Ke looked into the eyes of the guard and asked, "Miss, do you want to get off work early?"

"I've been thinking about it for a long time. I really like leaving get off work early!"

"Oh, that's not right! I can't leave work too early..."

"Sir, can you let me work for a while and leave early..."

"If the monitoring time is too short, Mr. Leosley will be disappointed; but if the monitoring time is too long, then it will be overtime again."

Chao Ke: ...

Are all the guards in [Mello Petersburg] working in this way?

However, with the caretaker's words in mind, Chao Ke suddenly wanted her to work overtime.

So, Chao Ke controlled his speed so that the guard could keep up with him, and they walked towards the elevator leading to the [prison area] together.

While waiting for the elevator to come down, Chao Ke looked at the huge direction sign made of metal frame and cedar wood, and asked the security lady beside him.

“Is it necessary to make the directional sign so large and so conspicuous?”

"Leaving aside left and right, it shouldn't be difficult to tell up and down, right?" "Well, hehe."

Faced with Chao Ke's question, the guard scratched her head first, then answered.

"In fact, many newcomers to [Mello Petersburg] have the same questions as you."

"The fundamental purpose of this [directional sign] design is not to provide directions, or in other words, its main purpose is not to provide directions."

"Hmm? [Directional signs] aren't designed to give directions? Then what are they for?"

The guard paused, as if thinking for a while, and then told Chao Ke the real purpose of designing these [directional signs].

"Because when there are [signs], all the 'getting lost' is intentional by the prisoners."

Chao Ke's mouth twitched.

Well, that’s a useful design purpose.

"But the prisoners like it."

The guard lady continued, pointing to the [direction sign] pointing upwards next to the two of them.

"Many prisoners, especially those with limited sentences, actually like this positive sign."

“Because they understand that their upward journey will eventually come to an end.”

"One day, they will have gone through all the roads [upward] and will return to the ground."

After the guard finished her statement, she murmured something softly.

“I hope that these gentlemen who have completed the [upward] path will not have to go through the [downward] path again.”

Chao Ke glanced at the caretaker lady.

This girl is quite kind-hearted.
