“Is this world fake?”
Jiang Yiyi was not at all surprised to hear these words from the other party. After all, he knew too well what kind of existence a person with special abilities was.
They are lunatics and geniuses, true failures who are at the forefront of human evolution.
Any act of underestimating them will result in heavy consequences.
Li Yihe is the most eye-catching among them, but that doesn't mean others can be ignored.
Jiang Yiyi paused for a few seconds and continued to ask: "So, the new world means that the world changes from false to real?"
Mask denied his guess: "The point is not whether it can become a real world... because that is another definition."
"It's all about the difference between what's fake and what's real."
Jiang Yiyi thought about the difference between the two. After a brief moment of confusion, she suddenly realized that the existence of the game system was the biggest difference.
In the real world, there is no system that can grant skills or start a second round of the game after failure. Everyone must face the cruel life where they cannot load the saved game.
This is also why virtual games have always been so popular - because the game itself is enough for players to experience the joy of cheating.
The masked man continued slowly, "After hundreds of years of exploration in the field of evolution, we have found nothing even though incomplete evolution has already appeared. If humans are not too stupid, then there is only one explanation."
He turned his head to look at Jiang Yiyi: "Some existence that we are not aware of has wiped out our possibility of further advancement in the field of evolution, resulting in Xingyu gaining nothing."
Jiang Yiyi raised her eyebrows, realizing something: "So, you went to the research institute to verify this idea?"
Mask likes Jiang Yiyi's sharpness. After all, talking to a fool and talking to a smart person are two completely different experiences.
"That's right."
Mask approached Jiang Yiyi and whispered, "After all, I know very well the extent to which psychological suggestion and mental distortion can be achieved, so even if the scene I saw is shocking enough, I still need more evidence to prove it."
They are too sane to be crazy, and too crazy to be sane.
Being able to combine madness and sanity, and jump seamlessly between them, is, in a sense, very tricky.
Jiang Yiyi sorted out her thoughts and continued to ask: "Does the data from the research institute prove this?"
"Yes, although the workload of reading it is huge, I don't need to read it all. So, I picked out some key points and browsed through the data of Xingyu's exploration of the direction of evolution at that time."
“An interesting discovery.”
Mask shook his head and lowered his voice, "Several decades ago, when Xingyu was still conducting experiments to explore the mysteries of the human body, the data they could obtain had already begun to repeat themselves."
Jiang Yiyi showed some doubts.
"This means..." The masked man lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by someone, and showed his vigilance towards someone: "Before Kong Yueze stopped these terrible experiments, they had already confirmed one thing."
"Their physical exploration of people with special abilities has reached its end."
Mask paused for two seconds and added the qualifier: "Under the circumstances at the time."
After considering the context, Jiang Yiyi reacted: "So, Kong Yueze appeared, and under his leadership, Xingyu embarked on another more restrained, peaceful, and humane path of exploration and evolution?"
"That's right." Masked Man snapped his fingers: "The appearance of Kong Yueze, and even his subsequent changes to the series of policies of Xingyu, were not out of so-called humanitarianism, but..."
Jiang Yiyi frowned and took over the conversation: "It's a planned scam."
"How can it be called a scam?" Masked Weikong Yueze said indignantly: "It can only be said to be an optimal solution. It achieved several goals at once, eased the relationship with the ability user, and started another way of research..."
"There is no doubt that this is Sora Yueze."
The masked man continued quickly, "But unfortunately, I found the data before the doctor appeared. Apparently, the other way of research did not bring any progress."
"But things are different after the doctor shows up."
"The data has changed. There are dozens of academic reports discussing this point alone. Doctor, you can listen to the titles. "The deeper influence of people with special abilities on the thinking field - further analysis of Jiang Yiyi and the Lone Wolf incident", "Possibility of evolution - further analysis based on Jiang Yiyi's genetic response", "Analysis of the composition of the perfect evolution", etc. It's simply an academic carnival, just like the locked door that suddenly has the possibility of being opened."
Therefore, Kong Yueze cooperated with Jiang Yiyi's behavior without any bottom line, and retreated again and again - because the data would not lie, it had already told him who held the key.
"It's quite interesting." This was Jiang Yiyi's only comment. It was interesting, but not unexpected.
Jiang Yiyi's focus was on the point where the mask had once again deviated: "If you still remember, we were talking about the new world?"
"New world..." The excitement in the mask's tone faded a little, and he seemed a little listless: "Didn't I say that just now?"
He had no intention of getting an answer, and as soon as he finished speaking, he continued, "Those were suspicions combined with reality, but as for what I saw..."
Mask pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds. The remaining strong impression emerged and quickly occupied his mind, popping up the scene he saw when he looked into Jiang Yiyi's eyes that time.
The angle of overlooking the universe keeps getting higher and higher, and the universe becomes extremely small, until it completely becomes a bright spot in the endless void.
A hand stretched out from the endless void and took away that piece of endless void. The bright spot merged into the white background behind it and disappeared.
Jiang Yiyi had all kinds of strange guesses about the scene that the mask saw, but he didn't expect it to be such a stream of consciousness.
The stream of consciousness is so confusing that it even makes people wonder how the other party can come to the conclusion that "the world is fake" from such a scenario
Mask knew what he was thinking, and he showed an exaggerated distressed expression: "If the doctor didn't see the scene with his own eyes, he might not understand what I saw just by describing it."
“The false world is freed from its limitations, and the existence we are unaware of disappears. This is the new world.”
This was different from Lin Yi's previous description of him. Lin Yi's description was that everyone could become a fully evolved form and possess abilities; but what the mask saw was a further existence, the truest core of this world.
Mask turned his head to look at Jiang Yiyi and repeated what he had said before: "Everyone who knows what the new world represents will make the same choice as me, whether they are people with special abilities or humans."
"After all, this manipulated world does not belong to us."
Mask stared at Jiang Yiyi meaningfully: "We can choose to die, but the premise is that this is our own choice, not someone..."
"No one knows what kind of ghost thing is there, manipulating the world to become what it wants."
"Doctor..." Mask came very close, so close that Jiang Yiyi could smell the lingering smell of blood on him: "You should think so, right?"
Jiang Yiyi moved back slightly, putting some distance between them: "I don't think this should be a question. You should be very clear about my position."
The mask returned to its original position, shook his head and said, "Of course, of course, I know it very well."
"It's just..." He stopped shaking his head and looked at Jiang Yiyi: "The doctor's connection with this mysterious existence is a little too close."
"Doctor's little secret, why don't you tell us?"
Mask said in a puzzled tone: "If the doctor only trusts Li Yihe, he may not even know that he has been betrayed."
He licked his lips, a little excited: "Li Yihe is not a trustworthy think tank."
"That guy is a madman." Mask, who is a madman, described another madman as: "A madman with reason."
“Because it’s too complicated to explain.”
Jiang Yiyi didn't deliberately exclude them from this secret - and certainly didn't have the intention of telling them proactively. After all, this wasn't something that was worth telling everyone about.
"You just need to know that..." Jiang Yiyi paused subtly: "Thing is my enemy."
Mask applauded Jiang Yiyi happily: "And the doctor has no living enemies."
There was an irrepressible sigh in his tone: "Why is the key to the new world the doctor?"
…
Before Jiang Yiyi's doubts were revealed, Mask revealed the answer himself: "Doctors always linger within the bottom line that we cannot restrain..."
He glanced at Jiang Yiyi, unable to hide his regret: "If it weren't for the New World, I really want to have a good chat with the doctor about life and ideals."
I always feel that what the other person said was not "chatting about life and ideals", but a sticky malice could be seen in the words.
Jiang Yiyi calmly retracted his gaze and brought the topic back to his original arrangement: "Then we can talk now."
"The phase of getting to know each other?"
The mask sat upright, very serious: "I am the mask, maybe I have a real name, but that is not important. My hobbies are very wide-ranging, whether it is psychology or anatomy, they are all involved..."
I think his best skill is acting.
Jiang Yiyi interrupted the other person who was talking more and more excitedly: "I noticed that you are very passionate about life and ideals?"
"There are always lost sheep, lost on the road of life." Masked man immediately changed his tone and said earnestly: "They need a teacher to guide them on the right track of life."
Jiang Yiyi stared at the mask for a few seconds and saw a strong sense of déjà vu from him: "Professor?"
"Did you find out?" The masked man slapped his head in a boastful tone, "I almost forgot that the doctor was the last person the professor saw before he died."
The mask changed his posture, his eyebrows drooped, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he let out a familiar strange laugh: "Life is such a boring thing..."
"grim Reaper."
Jiang Yiyi figured out why the mask was called a mask—he switched between countless false shells, hiding the real part deep in a place where it could not be seen.
"It seems that you don't like talking about yourself." Jiang Yiyi concluded.
The mask returned to his serious and serious appearance: "It's hard to change a little habit. So, why don't we skip this meaningless communication and understanding and get straight to the point?"
He leaned forward a few degrees, leading the conversation: "What on earth does the doctor want?"
Jiang Yiyi readily gave up the idea of having a deep conversation with the other party. In fact, until now, Jiang Yiyi was not sure whether she had ever seen the real mask.
Those exaggerated tones and the performance under the spotlight outline a fragmented image that is difficult to piece together.
However, since I am not a regular psychologist - Jiang Yiyi, who was imprisoned for practicing medicine without a license, thought very calmly, it is natural for the patient to refuse to cooperate with treatment.
Jiang Yiyi decided to try the other party's hidden ending—if he had a hidden ending.
"What's your obsession?"
"This question is as cliché as asking, what are your ideals?" Mask muttered, "I don't have that."
"Or rather, does the doctor think I should have it?"
Mask threw the question back to Jiang Yiyi. Obviously, although he didn't like to reveal his true self, he was very interested in spying on others.
Jiang Yiyi changed his approach: "New world?"
The mask once again showed an exaggerated expression of surprise: "Indeed, if obsession refers to something that must be accomplished, then the new world can indeed be called my obsession."
Jiang Yiyi continued to ask: "So, we have reached a consensus? About the new world."
If possible, Jiang Yiyi did not want to insist on exploring the false mask and spying on the other party's true existence just to get a hidden ending.
So, he picked up a previous topic and tried it in a very perfunctory manner.
Mask noticed Jiang Yiyi's perfunctory attitude - it was too obvious, they "reached a consensus" without even discussing other ideas about the new world in depth.
But he didn't mind this perfunctory attitude. To be precise, he admired Jiang Yiyi's approach very much.
There are always people who are curious about his hidden secrets, but most of them end up dying because of it.
The bad nature of human beings makes them repeat stupid mistakes one after another.
But the doctor was different from everyone else. He had no interest in these secrets.
If this was really a love game, Jiang Yiyi should have seen the constant reminders of affection floating above the mask's head.
"+10" "+10" "-10" "-5" "+10"
It keeps increasing and decreasing, alternating over and over again, sometimes suddenly jumping to the highest point, and sometimes suddenly falling back to the lowest point. It is as exciting as a roller coaster, giving you a heart-pounding experience anytime and anywhere.
"Of course, we have reached a consensus." Mask shook his head and agreed with Jiang Yiyi: "Who wouldn't look forward to the new world?"
A notification slowly popped up in front of Jiang Yiyi.
"The hidden ending has been unlocked, the current progress is 3/7."
This is in line with Jiang Yiyi's original imagination of how to play the hidden ending, the true meaning of "one step away", the perfunctory dialogue but a completely feasible result - rather than the obsession with death that is linked to blood like the Grim Reaper.
The masked man noticed Jiang Yiyi's pause. He glanced at the point where Jiang Yiyi's gaze was directed - that is, himself, but did not find anyone worthy of the doctor's sudden distraction.
Oh, there's that little secret again.
Mask was ready to make another attempt, but when Jiang Yiyi looked at him, he forced himself to change his words: "It seems that the purpose of this conversation has been achieved?"
Jiang Yiyi nodded and stood up without hesitation, clearly showing that he was ready to end this conversation that had not even really begun.
Mask stood up and said slowly: "I suddenly feel that I made a wrong choice."
Jiang Yiyi walked out and replied perfunctorily: "Hmm?"
“Although I don’t like in-depth communication, I am very interested in chatting with the doctor.”
Mask followed Jiang Yiyi and said casually, "There aren't many opportunities to chat with the doctor alone. Is it too late for me to change my words now?"
"Unfortunately, I have already gotten the result I wanted." Jiang Yiyi rejected the other party and comforted him perfunctorily: "But at least this guarantees your privacy."
"Besides, if there's an easier way to fix all this, why not?"
Mask agreed with Jiang Yiyi: "Indeed..."
His words suddenly stopped. Some familiar sounds vibrated in the air and reached his ears, making him realize what was happening in front of him.
Mask's expression instantly changed to excitement. He quickened his pace, walked past Jiang Yiyi, and headed in the direction where the voice came from.
"Doctor, a fight has broken out."
Jiang Yiyi subconsciously quickened his pace and followed Mask to the stairs leading to the second floor.
Bai Cang stood at the top of the stairs, overlooking the Grim Reaper, who was half-crouching on the steps and slowly stood up.
As soon as Jiang Yiyi appeared, they all turned their heads to look at him.
Bai Cang lowered his head and buttoned his sleeves, saying in a relaxed tone: "Has the doctor finished talking?"
Death stood up and laughed to himself.
Although the scene was a bit weird, this was the norm for people with special abilities.
As soon as Jiang Yiyi had this thought, she saw the people with special abilities watching with great interest at the top of the stairs.
"They just started fighting." Yuan Qi ruthlessly exposed Bai Cang and his men's disguise and complained to Jiang Yiyi: "It was almost a fight..."
The Collector added regretfully: "It's a pity that the doctor is here."
Jiang Yiyi's gaze fell on Bai Cang and the Grim Reaper again, turned around, and paused on the long sword that shouldn't appear - no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be placed here.
Jiang Yiyi recalled his memory and confirmed that he had not seen the sword when he last walked up the stairs - that is, before he talked to the Grim Reaper.
His gaze fell back on the people with special abilities gathered at the stairs. He first glanced over Li Yihe and the Collector, then moved back and forth between the Origin and the Anomaly, and finally stopped on the Anomaly.
"Did you place this long sword?"
The abnormal person seemed to be frightened. He glanced at Jiang Yiyi quickly, and then lowered his eyes even faster. The whole process was so fast that it made people doubt whether he could see Jiang Yiyi's expression clearly in the brief glance just now.
The abnormal person whispered: "Why, do you think it's me?"
Origin and Collector glanced at the abnormal person and took two steps to the side, leaving him suddenly empty.
It's really obvious body language.
"I've always thought that since every person with special abilities has his or her own little quirks," Jiang Yiyi walked forward and stopped in front of the abnormal person, which was on the next step, looking up at the other person.
"So what's your little habit?" Jiang Yiyi slowly read out the other person's nickname: "Abnormal?"
There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames.
This nickname, combined with the opponent's ranking of 1-005, is enough to teach anyone who underestimates his madness a profound lesson.
When Jiang Yiyi went to the first floor to talk with the Grim Reaper, the purpose of the man who placed the □□ at the stairs was clear enough to be seen at a glance.
He laid the foreshadowing casually and waited for the show to begin. He didn't care who the two parties in the conflict were.
Jiang Yiyi was even certain that this little conflict was just a precursor—a tiny test that would not attract any attention.
But as long as the other party finds an opportunity, they will continue to lay such foreshadowing until the good show keeps going on and everything is completely out of control. Only then will the other party reap the rewards.
A really bad little habit.
The author has something to say: The reason why the hidden ending of the Mask is so easy to get is because the Mask had been influenced by the "new world" before and "made a choice" - in other words, Jiang Yiyi cheated.
Jiang Yiyi's initial judgment was not wrong. He was indeed only one step away from getting the hidden ending - if he used the "New World" skill on all NPCs, then he would be literally just one step away.
Mask turned his head to look at Jiang Yiyi and repeated what he had said before: "Everyone who knows what the new world represents will make the same choice as me, whether they are people with special abilities or humans."
