Bai Wu walked on the way to the mental hospital, looking at the people in suits or driving vehicles to work in office buildings, and felt like he had returned to his previous life.
It was as if he was in a neighborhood seven hundred years ago, nearby there was a fresh coffee shop that he often went to. He would sit by the window and read a random magazine, but he preferred to analyze the passers-by coming and going.
The most tense issue at doomsday is resource allocation.
However, there are actually big problems with the resource allocation of the tower.
It's like sharing a cake among five people. The best way is to share it equally among the five people so that everyone is full. At worst, the five people will get different amounts according to their different abilities.
But the way the cake is distributed in the tower is that the first person to take it can eat as much as he wants. He can finish the whole cake, or give it to the dog Doodle if he doesn't want to eat it.
The cake will be passed to the next person only after he is satisfied and has ruined it enough.
Then, the second person does what the first person did based on the work of the first person.
The order is the hierarchy, and the bottom layer is the one who eats the cake last.
They didn't have any supplies, and the supplies they had left were all unwanted waste.
This kind of social system has actually had riots over the past seven hundred years, but the reason why it has been able to exist for so long is very simple—absolute force to suppress it.
If you want to survive, you must live according to its rules.
Bai Wu suspected that this "it" came from the sixth floor.
So although it seems the same as my previous life, the third level is completely different from my previous life.
Passersby come and go in a hurry to go to work in the companies of the fourth-level managers, and when they see the people on the second bottom level, they will show off their identity cards.
To Bai Wu, all this seemed absurd and ridiculous.
Especially when you think about it, if the sixth layer has the terrifying power to crush the five lower layers, then the so-called people on the layer are nothing more than livestock locked up in different levels of sophistication.
Of course, Bai Wu didn't know what was on the sixth floor.
He hadn't even been to the fourth floor. It just crossed his mind for a while, but he wasn't going to question it or feel indignant about it.
The security outside the asylum has been strengthened. Most of them are from the Survey Corps, and there are also a few members of the Suppression Army.
Bai Wu has now brought honor to the Investigation Corps, and everything went smoothly when he went to the asylum to handle the formalities.
What surprised Bai Wu was that the staff members of those hospitals actually belonged to the Zhenyu Army, but they were also quite polite to Bai Wu.
This made Bai Wu guess that Ming Mengde probably still valued talents and wanted to show his spirit.
The inside of the asylum remained the same as before.
Two old men playing chess sat seriously at the two ends of the chessboard. This time the chessboard became Go. One of them was playing Gobang and the other was playing Go.
The two of them could actually kill each other...
The doctor, Zheng Daxi, put on his doctor's clothes again, but the nurse did not hold him back, as if the two had reached an agreement.
Bai Wu felt that there were actually secrets hidden in the mental asylum, but after taking a quick look with the Eye of Prell, he didn't find any important secrets. They were just some absurd things done by crazy people.
He came to the sixth floor.
The time traveler from 6-17 is using his slippers as a phone to call the Space-Time Association because Miss Ma Lin has returned.
The sound coming from 6-19 is still Aba Aba Aba.
When Bai Wu opened door 6-18, the first scene was actually a bit scary.
Because Yan Jiu was smiling at the mirror, and that smile... was very stiff, and his eyes were empty and dull, very similar to when the cesarean section woman fell into the peaceful and quiet mode.
But Yan Jiu is indeed as good-looking as the captain said. Even if he has no expression on his face and is just a vase, he is still a pleasing vase.
Yan Jiu turned his head and when he saw the white fog, he suddenly let out a cry. His body, which was sitting on the stool, unconsciously tilted backwards and fell down.
"oops."
She rubbed the back of her head where it had hit the ground, then stared at the white mist again.
As the offspring of the child of the evil spirit, she does not have many advantages like the combination of humans and gods, humans and demons, or gods and demons in myths. However, she still has some merits. She can paint in a very short time, relying on her unparalleled talent, and ~ her paintings will be very valuable in the future.
Bai Wu thought about it and it was true. If the arc left by Yan Jiu on the mirror was slightly off, he might not have been able to find the clue.
This girl, at least, has a very high IQ.
The atmosphere was too weird, so he got straight to the point:
"I'm here to ask something, as requested by the captain."
"Oh, okay. I've drawn them all. I'll give them to you."
Bai Wu was stunned, and then saw Yan Jiu took out a stack of drawings.
The content of the painting is Yan Jiu's experience with Cain during these days. There is a large blank space in the painting, which Yan Jiu uses to write down the conversation between him and Cain.
The content is very detailed, and it can be said that Yan Jiu is a human camera.
So much so that Bai Wu thought that he could take these drawings back and analyze them, and there was no need to ask Yan Jiu again.
It can be said that the speed at which Yan Jiu betrayed Cain was comparable to the speed at which he confessed to Ding Taisheng.
"Okay, very detailed. Thank you very much for your cooperation, Miss Yan. I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."
Bai Wu decisively prepared to turn around and leave. Yan Jiu looked at Bai Wu in confusion. Of course, she would not let Bai Wu leave like this. She suddenly said:
"Wait a minute, Bai Wu, you said you loved me, is this true?"
There was a hint of uneasiness in Yan Jiu's voice. In fact, she had seen some images and heard some voices through that heart before.
But she still hopes for a miracle.
Bai Wu stopped and looked back. He saw that the fingers of Yan Jiu's left and right hands were intertwined, and his two thumbs were spinning in circles.
He was obviously very nervous, but his eyes were wide open and he stared at himself with a dull expression.
After thinking about the captain's words, Bai Wu realized that this was indeed a problem that needed to be solved. He shook his head and said:
"Of course it's not true. It was just an emergency at that time, and I was trying to get information. I'm really sorry if Miss Yan misunderstood me."
Yan Jiu shuddered slightly, tilted his neck slightly, and thought about something:
"Oh, that's because... Don't you like the gift I gave you? I have a lot of Tass too, I can give them to you. Or you can tell me what you like?"
"Gifts? Oh, you mean those paintings. They are great paintings. Even if they were made seven hundred years ago, they are still masterpieces. I like them very much and I will keep them."
Bai Wu didn't dare to accept Ta Si under such surveillance.
Although he likes money very much, the money in this world cannot buy delicious food. In Bai Wu's needs, it is directly downgraded to a lower level.
"So you like the gift I gave you, but you don't like me?"
"What does this have to do with gifts?" Bai Wu felt strange.
Yan Jiu’s face was pale and his eyes were confused.
Bai Wu's words made her feel uncomfortable and confused.
Since childhood, Yan Jiu felt that there was only one way to make people like him, and that was to give them gifts.
When she was a child, the servants were afraid of her and basically avoided her. Her father and brother didn't know why, but they always refused to let her leave the manor.
She quietly observed what the servants liked, and later found that they liked tats. Yan Jiu would secretly bring a stack of tats and ask the servants to play with her.
The charm of money is much greater than that of people. For the sake of Tasi, more and more servants play with Yan Jiu.
Yan Jiu thought she had finally found a way to make people like her, even though the evil woman told her through intuition that this was wrong and that true love doesn't care about what you have.
But she was too young to understand.
The servants gradually grew bolder and asked young Yan Jiu for more tasting notes, to which Yan Jiu agreed at first.
But later, when she found that she couldn't give the servant more tasting notes, the servant's face changed.
At that time, Yan Jiu was thinking that he must always have gifts. He must give people what they want in order to always be liked by them.
Later... the servants were disposed of, she was scolded by her father, and she gradually realized that the servants were just deceiving her.
No matter how many things you give to people who don't like you, they will still not like you.
But every time he met someone who was willing to talk to him, Yan Jiu would still prepare a gift, because he was afraid that without a gift, no one would be willing to talk to him.
She prepared gifts for the time traveler next door and the injured veteran. She even did the same when Cain kidnapped her.
When Bai Wu said those words on the plane, Yan Jiu thought that he had finally waited for the person in the evil woman's mouth who didn't care about what he had.
But now Bai Wu said clearly that he didn't like him. Everything was just his wishful thinking.
So subconsciously, she thought of gifts.
But now even the gifts were useless. She looked at the white fog in a daze, as if she had encountered a problem that she couldn't solve.
Bai Wu was also a little confused. He felt a headache about dealing with this kind of problem.
But looking at Yan Jiu's expression, he felt that it was inappropriate to leave like that.
He gradually caught up with Yan Jiu's train of thought and was even able to infer some of her past experiences.
"Trouble, this must be Shorty's revenge."
Bai Wu still stopped, then walked into the house and sat opposite Yan Jiu.
"I don't think you have the ability to like someone right now, Miss Yan. I don't even think you can understand what it means to like someone correctly."
A beautiful and lovely young girl painter suddenly fell in love with him just because of a confession. In Bai Wu's opinion, combined with Yan Jiu's lonely past, this logic was valid, but it also had huge problems.
Yan Jiu's love for herself only comes from her lack of love. Given the situation on the plane at that time, in Bai Wu's opinion, even if any random person jumped out and shouted that they loved her, she would fall in love with these people.
But this is morbid.
The remedy for this morbid problem is not to accept her love, but to make more people like her and love her.
Let her believe deep down that she can make many friends in this world.
She doesn't need to be humble and pour all her feelings into one person.
People all want to be loved madly, but there are many cases in history where madness has turned into horror.
Bai Wu thinks that the twisted feeling of "you only lost an arm, but she lost her love" is very wrong.
He had no doubt that if he accepted Yan Jiu's love today, if he were Cain, he could create another female version of Elijah with a little persuasion.
"I don't quite understand. I think being with you, if you like me too, is what I want to do most right now. Isn't that love?"
Bai Wu said:
"Do you have any friends?"
"No… "
"It's a pity, and I guess the person who has been most willing to pay attention to you since you were a child is the woman on the plane, right? You have a brother and a father, but they don't like you either, right?"
Yan Jiu nodded.
Bai Wu concluded:
"So normal emotions are something you have never experienced before, Miss Yan. Love, as an advanced course in it, is even more beyond the scope."
Yan Jiu lowered his head and thought seriously about Bai Wu's words.
"The order of people's emotions is usually to experience family affection first, then friendship, and finally love. Moreover, among all the emotions, love is not a necessity, it is a spiritual luxury. In fact, when the pressure of survival comes, there are many people without love."
"I don't understand."
"What I mean is, you can't skip classes. Family and friendship can be transformed to some extent, so before you experience love, let's take the elementary courses first and lay a solid foundation."
Bai Wu's smile was very gentle:
"You haven't experienced family and friendship, so maybe the feelings you desire are these two, not love. We should take it step by step and regain our family and friendship first."
If a person has friendship and family but no love, this is very normal in Bai Wu's opinion, at least according to the standards of his previous life.
But if the opposite is true, problems often arise.
Yan Jiu felt that Bai Wu's words seemed to make sense, but she suddenly thought of something and lowered her head even lower:
"But who will come to see me? Who will listen to me except the patients in the hospital..."
"Someone will come to visit you tomorrow. She will become your good friend and she doesn't need you to give her a gift. Of course, you can give her a gift and she will definitely be very happy."
"Really?"
"Of course, making friends is not a very difficult thing. You are no longer on the fifth floor. You will have many friends to confide in in the future. These friends are also very cute and interesting. At least in terms of emotional intelligence, they are more interesting than me."
In fact, Yan Jiu is a likable girl with a kind heart, but her childhood made her sick and inferior.
Fortunately, this morbidity was not too exaggerated and everything could be corrected. Bai Wu also thought of a good candidate.
If Yan Jiu is the representative of lack of love and a novice in dealing with emotional problems, then Liu Chengzi is definitely loved too much and a master in dealing with emotional problems.
A true master is someone who can easily transform love into family affection and friendship.
In the eyes of the Queen, friendship is much more valuable than love. She is the perfect person to correct Yan Jiu.
However, some chemical reactions between people are difficult to predict. One of the things humans are best at is digging holes for themselves, and even someone as smart as Bai Wu is no exception.
Yan Jiu nodded and said:
"I'm looking forward to meeting her... but I have one question."
"Go ahead."
"What if after I have good friends, I still feel that Bai Wu is different from them?"
Bai Wu thought about this question seriously for a few seconds, then shook his head and said:
"Don't be too ambitious. Be down-to-earth and take one step at a time. First learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then we can talk about calculus."
"Oh, okay, will you come visit me then?"
"Of course, because from now on, we are friends."
Yan Jiu, who was originally feeling a little uncomfortable due to the white fog, smiled again after hearing these words.
…
…
After leaving the insane asylum, Bai Wu felt a sense of relief. There were many tragedies among the disciples, and during the time when the end of the world was approaching, there were tragedies everywhere outside the tower.
The system in the tower also destined some people to live distorted lives. He could not save everyone, but he was always happy if he could help one person.
After returning to the Survey Corps branch, Bai Wu brought the drawings and prepared to report some information about Cain to Wu Jiu.
There isn’t actually much content there. To find Cain, you have to go to the area inside the traction wheel.
When Wujiu saw Bai Wu, he did not rush to talk about Cain, but said:
“This time things were done well.”
Since Yanjiu was in charge of the Seventh Team of the Investigation Corps, Wujiu naturally had the authority to observe the surveillance and monitoring of the sixth floor.
Bai Wu's behavior is to make Yan Jiu no longer lonely from the root. It seems that his words are very straight, but they also see through the essence.
Wujiu had already determined that Bai Wu was lustful, so he considered Bai Wu's performance this time to be an extraordinary performance because Bai Wu was unexpectedly decent.
"Captain, don't let me do this kind of work next time."
"I'm curious about what kind of woman you like. What if Yan Jiu still thinks you are more important than everyone else after having friends?"
"I repeat again, Captain, love will only limit my performance. Is it that exploring outside the tower is not fun, or that the soul-sending items are not fun? Or that the collection sequence is not interesting? Why do I have to like someone?"
Wujiu was not surprised by this answer:
"Speaking of leaving the tower, once your injury is healed, we can leave the tower."
Bai Wu was surprised that the captain would arrange for him to leave the tower on his own initiative, especially since his injuries had not yet healed.
"Any mission?"
