The real essence of speaking the same thing to different people and speaking differently to different people is to please them.
Under the previous teachings of Bai's father and Bai Wu's own insights, he is good at using this method.
In Jiang Yimi's memory, it is obvious that the biggest problem is that she killed the masked monster, and the person she most wants to see is also the masked monster.
No matter how absurd the possibility of this scene coming true, she was looking forward to it in her heart.
So Bai Wu plucked up the courage to tell a huge lie.
There are two kinds of lies in this world.
One lie is to avoid responsibility, while another lie is to take responsibility.
Bai Wu's lie belongs to the latter.
Although the masked man gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, he did not know the masked man.
For him, the earliest meaning of the mask was just a prop used to conceal his identity during live broadcasts.
But now, just like Lin Rui took the mask from him, he also officially took over the mask from the first generation masked monster.
All kind souls deserve redemption.
Hong Yin, Bai Xiaoyu, Jiang Yimi, and Bai Wu believe that these people will be able to have a positive impact on the world in the future.
"Perhaps you still won't believe me, but it doesn't matter. My identity is not important. What's important is that we still had a lot of things to do seven hundred years ago."
Bai Wu handed the scroll to Jiang Yimi. When Jiang Yimi took the scroll, she asked in a trembling voice:
"You, are you really him... But I saw you die with my own eyes..."
"Death is just the beginning of the next journey. Remember what I told you? In a sense, my body will never really die. I have a very advanced sequence in my body. This sequence allows me to distort the rules of time and space when I die."
Whether it's that heroes never die, or that death is just the beginning of the next journey, the tone of voice in Bai Wu's voice when he spoke these words was very similar to that of a real masked monster.
Bai Wu didn't want to waste any more time on the topic of identity.
Although his contact with the masked man was very short, his indescribable familiarity with the masked man made him play the role of the masked man with ease.
He is very confident in this regard. The longer the time goes, the more Jiang Yimi will believe that he is the masked monster.
If the masked monster died, he would be the masked monster. If the masked monster is alive, it doesn’t matter. Maybe he is creating some kind of cause and effect, and in the future he may meet this human being who was already unimaginably powerful seven hundred years ago.
"Tell me about the changes that have taken place in the school."
Jiang Yimi nodded. She was still excited and couldn't calm down. She stared at the white mist, afraid that the person would disappear in the blink of an eye. After a long while, she began to talk about the changes in the school:
"My loss of control has caused the school to almost become a ghost school. Now... the school is completely different from before. The principal is hiding underground and dares not come out. Some of the teachers who help the principal are also hiding in the teaching building area..."
Bai Wu suddenly found the distribution of this school interesting:
"Are all the people in the principal's lineage in hiding?"
"Yes, they are all hiding in the teacher's office building. I haven't been out for a long time. I don't know what they are doing or planning. Anyway, they can't leave the school, and there are many people in the school who are more powerful than them."
Bai Wu nodded, this person has really become a disadvantaged group.
"So those are the ones in class?"
"For some teachers who were unaware of the disaster, it wasn't just death that was brought about. Most of them turned into monsters because of me. But these monsters seem to have different powers due to their own inner obsessions and desires. Some teachers are eager to guide their students... and thus have the ability to surpass most students."
"What do you mean by majority, or are there students who are more powerful than teachers?"
"Yes, there is a group of student forces in the teaching building of the East Campus. They are different from other students. These students were considered bad students by teachers in the past. Whether they want to be good students or hate teachers, they have power that many teachers fear."
When it comes to this, Jiang Yimi's face shows guilt again:
"But although they are powerful, they are also bound by rules. The entire school is divided into the dormitory area, the teacher building area occupied by the principal, and the nearby study area controlled by teachers who are not from the principal's power, and the bad student area in the east district. But these areas... actually have one thing in common."
Bai Wu probably guessed what this commonality was:
"I can't get what I want..."
"Yes, because of me, the whole school is in this state of wanting but not getting. Students in the learning area are afraid of exams, but they have to face exams every day, so their strength is getting weaker and weaker, and the teachers' control over them is getting stronger and stronger."
"As for the teachers, they are actually good teachers. Their obsession in life was to teach these students well... But they are unable to do so. After they became evil, they kept issuing exams, but the students' test scores only got worse and worse. They will never be able to teach good students."
"Students in the East Campus are rebellious. They want to gain recognition from adults by rebelling, but it is meaningless. They are filled with the desire to fight and can only kill each other every day. No teachers or parents will ever recognize them. The stronger they are, the further away they will be from the public."
"In the dormitory area..."
When talking about the dormitory area, Jiang Yimi sighed softly:
"The dormitory staff patrol the dormitory every day. There are both good and bad things here. The bad thing is that students are most afraid of the horror stories in the dormitory area. But now, after school, all students will be forced to experience the campus horror incidents they mentioned when they return to the dormitory area."
Bai Wu understood. No wonder there were so many resentful eyes staring at him when he left the dormitory building.
It's all resentment...
Living in a dormitory where horrible things happen every night, one would definitely want to leave.
All the faces were pressed against the windows, staring at the scene outside with wide eyes, indicating that these students who had turned evil could no longer sleep and they only wanted to escape from the dormitory area.
But the current state of the school is like a prophecy that has come true... The more you fear something, the more you will face it again and again; the more you avoid bad luck, the more likely it is to come true...
In a sense, Baichuan Middle School has become a real severe misfortune area after the outbreak of Jiang Yimi's fusion disease.
Anyone who comes here has no luck at all.
"The good thing is that those who serve the principal, they originally helped the principal transfer students, and their greed for money made them ignore the lives of students, but now they won't do that anymore. They have to patrol the dormitories day and night because of the existence of the Lantern Man..."
Bai Wu also wanted to know what the lantern man was all about.
"I've encountered it in the dormitory area before. Although I didn't see it, I felt it was an old man holding a lamp from the sound. Unlike the security guards in the dormitory, it doesn't seem to be there all the time."
"Well... the lantern bearer is a very special existence. It may be... that it comes from my desire to protect the school. Originally, the lantern bearer did not exist. After he... After your death, I was overwhelmed by sadness and pain, and bad luck burst out of my body uncontrollably, but at that time, deep in my heart, I still wanted to protect those students you and I had saved together."
So this is what the eye meant by distorting reality...
Jiang Yimi's potential is indeed terrifying. Her inner grief causes her bad luck to run out of control and the school turns into a hellish ghost school.
But the kindness in my heart also took shape as a man holding a lantern at that time.
Bai Wu looked at this kind-hearted girl with a miserable life, and he suddenly understood that all his thoughts about the lantern bearer's behavior had been answered at this moment:
"So the lantern bearer exists to ensure the safety of students... In dormitories where there are students, it will knock on the door three times. There is no student in 405, so there is no knock on the door."
"And I was in 403 at the time. Because in the mirror world, there lived many children who were rescued by the masked monster and Jiang Yimi. So when I came to 403, the lantern man kept knocking on the door. It was not because I didn't respond to it, but to make sure whether the children in the mirror were safe..."
Jiang Yimi soon confirmed Bai Wu's inner guess:
"It is a guardian. If a student leaves the dormitory or goes missing, the security guards will be punished by the Lantern Bearer. They will suffer extremely horrific mental torture and fall into a nightmare that they cannot escape from."
"But this is also a helpless thing... Because of the existence of the Security Department and the Lantern Man, the students must return to the dormitory and must experience the most terrifying ghost stories. They have been tortured every night for seven hundred years because of my loss of control."
Jiang Yimi was in great pain.
She was also the embodiment of the fact that she could not get what she wanted. Seven hundred years ago, what she wanted most was not to cause trouble to others and not to implicate others.
But now, students, teachers and staff in all areas of the school have been affected by Jiang Yimi's misfortune.
"The principal wants to control the school, but they have become the weakest group in the entire school. This is the only thing that makes me not feel guilty. They cannot leave the teaching building area. Once they leave, the students in the East District will no longer kill each other. Instead, they will act like predators sensing their prey."
This is indeed a consolation in most misfortunes.
What the principal and others want but cannot get is control of the school and hunting down students.
But now they have no control over the schools and have gone from being hunters to being hunted.
The reality in the past was completely reversed due to the outbreak of misfortune.
Basically, the mystery of the entire school has been solved, and the crux of the masked monster has also been solved, but in order for Jiang Yimi to be completely relieved, several areas of the school must be purified.
This involves a most critical issue. The school is divided into multiple areas, including blue areas, purple areas, and red areas.
Today, these areas are accessible, indicating that at least one piece of the doomsday puzzle that determines the boundaries of the areas was once used at this school.
"Do you know the pieces of the doomsday puzzle?" Bai Wu asked.
"I don't know, what is that?"
"Something that can make the school return to normal. This fragment is needed to eliminate all the strange rules of the school. Theoretically, you should have it in your hand..."
Jiang Yimi shook her head.
Bai Wu felt confused.
"Could it be that when this school completely becomes an area outside the tower, the chosen guardian is not Jiang Yimi? Then who could it be?"
Jiang Yimi thought for a moment, and indeed could not remember anything related to the fragments:
"Is there really such a thing? You mean... everything in the school can be restored?"
"Yes, the boundaries between the areas have been removed, which means someone has obtained one of the fragments. The other two crucial fragments are to purify the regional rules and gain the favorability of the evil. After obtaining these two fragments, although they will live as evil, at least there will be no more resentment and fear here."
The White Mist did not mention the purification of evil.
Because after the evil is purified, it will become a human being. Maybe it is possible to purify Jiang Yimi alone and bring her back to the tower, but not other people in the school.
The number of these people is too large. If they are not even evil, they simply cannot survive in this place.
“Where will the pieces of the doomsday puzzle be…?”
"In theory, it would be in the hands of the most powerful evil in the area, but you don't have it."
Jiang Yimi lowered his head, thought for a long time and said:
"Could it be... related to my physique?"
Bai Wu was stunned, and suddenly he had a clue.
"Yes, I overlooked this. You are indeed the most powerful being in this area, but perhaps because you are not pure evil, but half evil, you did not get the Doomsday Fragment. Apart from you, who would be the strongest evil?"
Baichuan Middle School is the area recorded by Cain in the traction wheel. Bai Wu knows that Cain might have been here.
The disappearance of the regional barriers within the campus meant that someone had obtained one of the fragments. Bai Wu also guessed that this person was most likely Cain.
But Cain did not necessarily collect all the other fragments.
Jiang Yimi said:
"There are three leaders among the bad students in the East District. It's a three-way fight, and their mutation levels are very high. There is a dean in the teaching building, and his mutation level is also very high, but it's different from the East District. In the East District, you have to defeat those students. If we join forces, there won't be any problems, but in the teaching building area... you can't use force."
"What do you need?"
"You have to take a test..."
Bai Wu was happy. He was very familiar with literary combat. Unless the world before the tower was no longer under the control of Newton and his team, he was not afraid of any student-level test.
This is the confidence that comes from the god of learning.
"Then there's the Lantern Man... Although it's a part of my good thoughts, it's already materialized and has life. In the dormitory area, the strongest one is the Lantern Man. I don't know what it's capable of... But if we join forces, we should be able to suppress it."
After a brief pause, Jiang Yimi's expression became serious:
"Finally, it's the principal."
