The research institute was still calm, as if even if the whole world was in turmoil, it could not affect it in the slightest.
Cang Wendong came out to receive him, or to be more precise, only Cang Wendong could communicate normally with Jiang Yiyi and the others. After all, other researchers didn't care about anything other than research.
The three of them walked in silence on the familiar corridor. The doors on both sides of the corridor were closed, and they could occasionally see the busy scene in the laboratory through the glass.
Jiang Yiyi broke the silence: "The collector is in the research institute?"
Cang Wendong said in a muffled voice: "He is here for examination."
Bai Cang looked around the research institute and said, "If he just came to get checked, he wouldn't be so self-conscious."
He looked at Cang Wendong: "He is interested in abnormal people?"
Cang Wendong glanced at the end of the corridor and said, "You can ask him yourself."
Jiang Yiyi was not obsessed with getting an answer from the other party. Compared to the question that would be solved sooner or later, he was more concerned about another point: "Have you made any progress in your research on the direction of human evolution?"
Cang Wendong paused.
"You are much busier now than the last time we came."
He glanced at the laboratories on both sides of the corridor. Occasionally, he could see busy figures in the laboratories through the glass. They were immersed in data analysis and did not notice the figures outside the corridor at all.
"Apart from the direction of human evolution, there shouldn't be any other discoveries that can make the institute run so efficiently, right?"
Cang Wendong retracted his gaze and led Jiang Yiyi forward: "A few days ago, the data of the ability users showed some changes..."
He rambled on with a bunch of hypnotic terms, and before Jiang Yiyi lost her patience, he changed the subject and said in words that normal people could understand: "The door that had been closed for a long time suddenly had the possibility of opening."
Cang Wendong's gaze paused on Jiang Yiyi for a few seconds, and when he found that she was not moved at all, he retracted his gaze and said as he walked away, "The current data analysis mainly focuses on the two factors of abnormalities of the group of people with special abilities and changes in the external environment."
Before Jiang Yiyi could react to the true meaning of this sentence, Bai Cang had already taken over the conversation: "Evolution due to internal selection and evolution due to external factors... It seems that after a few years, you have once again begun to doubt the conclusion that human evolution is the result of self-selection."
Talking about this, Cang Wendong's calm tone gradually became excited: "After all, you can't choose to blind yourself just because another guess means a more powerful existence. Things that exist will not disappear just because you choose not to see them."
"What's more..." Cang Wendong glanced at Jiang Yiyi, who was calm and unperturbed: "The doctor's appearance proves this."
Jiang Yiyi looked at him and clearly sensed the other person's uncontrollable excitement at the moment - just like a long journey is about to reach the end, and the passengers who have been waiting for a long time are excited about the scenery at the end.
"The process from an incomplete form to a complete form is too short, too short to conform to the laws of nature." Cang Wendong said incessantly: "If this is the choice made by humans themselves, then it was wrong from the beginning."
"Under this premise, perhaps we can turn our attention to another speculation?"
"It is not that humans choose to evolve, but there is another external factor that is driving human evolution."
Jiang Yiyi added: "It sounds like there is no difference."
"No, no, no, the difference is obvious," Cang Wendong raised his voice slightly and refuted Jiang Yiyi: "The former is the choice of humans, and the latter is the choice of an unknown existence."
"This is also the reason why there are incomplete evolutions." Cang Wendong: "Because they are failed products that were forced to evolve, and why there are complete evolutions..."
Cang Wendong looked at Jiang Yiyi and brought up the old matter again: "Doctor, are you interested in taking the test?"
"We've discussed this before." Bai Cang took over the conversation: "You can't detect any abnormalities, so there's no need to do this."
"But there is also a one in ten thousand chance of a miracle..." Cang Wendong took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement: "As a special being chosen, the doctor should have the answer to evolution."
Bai Cang agreed with this: "Indeed, he does have the answer..." Glancing at Cang Wendong's focused gaze, Bai Cang changed the subject: "But it's not an answer you can come up with."
For the research institute, or for the Star Alliance, the secrets surrounding Jiang Yiyi are not something they can get involved in.
Jiang Yiyi changed the subject: "What did you research?"
“A brand new world…”
Cang Wendong paused for two seconds and calmed down: "It just takes time. Too many places have changed. Too many new things have suddenly appeared before our eyes. The special micromolecules in the air and the special energy in the bodies of people with special abilities are suddenly active. It's like a new world is suddenly coming towards us."
They walked to the end of the corridor. The last door at the end was closed. It was different from the other rooms. Even with the door closed, it still exuded a bone-chilling coldness.
It seems that they have arrived at their destination. Jiang Yiyi stopped and asked casually, "What is Kong Yueze busy with recently?"
Cang Wendong recalled for two seconds and said in a businesslike manner: "Star Prison Director did not report the movements to me, so I don't know."
Sora Yueze is not the kind of person who would just leave things to others and do nothing.
On the contrary, when his presence is extremely low due to his absence, everyone should be wary of him. After all, past reality has proved how serious the consequences of ignoring him are.
Cang Wendong continued in a businesslike manner: "If the doctor wants to see him, I can submit an application for the doctor."
Jiang Yiyi paused for two seconds and rejected his proposal: "No, not yet."
The proposal was rejected, but Cang Wendong didn't care. He swiped his card to open the closed door.
The already cold air suddenly felt really chilly as the door opened, and the familiar scent that permeated the air was also felt by everyone.
It smells of blood and corpses.
Jiang Yiyi looked into the room. Apart from the mysterious scientific research equipment, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the white bed placed in the center of the room, and the collector who was tilting his head to look at the corpse beside the bed.
The collector looked exactly the same as when Jiang Yiyi first saw him.
Gentle and elegant, he obviously received a good education, and one could even easily tell from his behavior that he had a happy childhood.
This distinguishes him from other people with special abilities and makes him look less dangerous.
After all, people always subconsciously think that children who grow up in two different environments, heaven and hell, will naturally become two completely different people.
In other words, the collector looks more like a good guy.
Of course, many people with special abilities are good at disguise, but most of the time, they would not choose to disguise themselves as good people - because there is no need.
For them, showing their strength in Star Prison is a matter of course, but pretending to be weak may lead to death at any time.
But collectors are different from them.
He clearly doesn't fit in with Xingyu, but he's ranked 1-008? Even ranked before Kamen
These people with special abilities really cannot be judged by their appearance.
The Collector heard the door open but did not react.
He maintained the posture of staring at the corpse with his back to the door, making it difficult for Jiang Yiyi and the others to discern his expression at the moment, but they could see the collector's concentration from his back.
He stared at the corpse with extreme concentration, facing him with a much more focused attitude than he would look at a living person.
"Collector," Cang Wendong broke the silence: "The doctor is looking for you."
The collector turned his head and gave Jiang Yiyi a side profile. His expression was cold, but he did not seem excited. He was still as distant and polite as usual.
"The doctor wants to see me..." His gaze paused on Jiang Yiyi's eyes, and his tone became a little warmer: "What's the matter?"
Although he looks no different from usual, anyone can tell that he is not normal now.
"Next, it's your turn." Jiang Yiyi realized that this sounded more like a death threat, and added: "Let's talk?"
"I'm a little busy right now..." The Collector rejected him: "I'll go find a doctor when I'm done."
Bai Cang raised his eyes when he heard that and strode forward.
The collector turned sideways and stretched out his hand to block Bai Cang.
Bai Cang stopped and glanced at the abnormal person's body: "Are you interested in his body?" He frowned slightly: "Your aesthetic standards have dropped so quickly?"
"I don't think he has anything worth collecting."
"Abnormal..."
The Collector's gaze returned to the abnormal person. His expression calmed down as he stared intently at the lifeless, even hideous corpse. "This fragile body holds so much malice, and even supports a soul on the verge of collapse."
The collector spoke calmly, with a hint of a sigh: "He is just an ordinary person, but he has worked very hard."
"He tried hard to live, tried hard to find the meaning of life, but in the end he still chose death." The Collector's tone gradually became strange: "He made the right choice. For him, living is meaningless."
"I want to collect his heart." The collector ended the long paragraph with this sentence: "To commemorate the pure evil of mankind."
Bai Cang got the answer, took a step back, and distanced himself from the collector: "Your habit is getting worse and worse. Pure evil, this kind of thing is everywhere. The abnormal person is just one of them who is driven. What is the value of being collected?"
The collector thought for two seconds: "Maybe it's because the rabbit dies and the fox mourns." He turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Yiyi: "The abnormal person is the first to die, but he may not be the last."
"I think you have some misunderstandings about me." Jiang Yiyi has become accustomed to these accusations. After all, he has been encountering these things from the beginning to now. There are always people who are keen to portray him as some kind of villain bss, as if all the deaths were caused by Jiang Yiyi, who was particularly stupid because of his weakness.
"I guess the doctor guessed wrong." The Collector looked into those eyes and his tone softened. "The abnormal person's death was a choice of his own. It had nothing to do with the doctor."
Jiang Yiyi became interested after hearing this. He was used to being blamed, and he never expected that one day someone would say "it has nothing to do with the doctor" so confidently.
"In fact, I believe that everyone who saw the surveillance video thought so."
The Collector was calm and gentle, like any polite, ordinary person one would meet outside of the Star Prison, with nothing to do with killing and death.
"After all, the purpose of the abnormal person's last words was too superficial." The collector felt a little regretful: "It doesn't match his previous level."
"It seems that the doctor has had a very huge impact on him."
The Collector smiled, even showing a dimple, which made him look even gentler. "To be precise, the doctor completely defeated him."
The Collector continued: "Doctors have a special attraction for us, just like those eyes..."
The collector's voice trembled uncontrollably: "No one can ignore its existence."
He took a deep breath and restrained his emotions a little: "For me, what attracts me is the doctor's eyes, but for the abnormal person, what attracts him should be the doctor's 'hypocrisy', and for the origin, what attracts him is the doctor's 'broken soul posture when he is on the verge of despair'..."
"In other words, because we have different interests and hobbies, what attracts us to doctors is also very different."
"This means that we will keep our eyes on the doctor for a long time in order to fulfill those little quirks, or even try to get it."
"That's how the Abnormal Man collapsed." The Collector said calmly, "He couldn't uncover the Doctor's 'hypocrisy'. He could never achieve it in the Doctor."
The collector was calm when talking about the anomaly. It didn't seem like he was talking about an "acquaintance" but more like he was mentioning an "irrelevant person". He had no feelings about the other person's death.
This made the harmless aura on him slightly less, revealing an aura that was somewhat consistent with that of Star Prison.
"Being completely defeated just because it cannot be achieved?" That's too fragile.
"For us, it is more important than living. No, it should be said that we live because of these things."
The collector expressed his understanding of Jiang Yiyi's inability to comprehend this: "Doctors have no hobbies, no desires, no obsessions, and no weaknesses. It is indeed difficult for them to understand this kind of despair."
Cang Wendong listened for a long time, looked at the time, and finally chose to interrupt them: "If you want to chat, you can go back and chat. I don't have much time to spare..."
The collector instantly shifted his attention and said to Cang Wendong: "Can I take it away now?"
Cang Wendong checked the time again: "We haven't completed the detection of abnormal people yet. Destroying the integrity of the corpse will cause some damage to the data. I'm afraid it will take some time."
Cang Wendong said: "Besides, you haven't completed the remaining regular retests, so you can't be considered to have fulfilled the agreement."
The Collector withdrew his gaze and refocused on the abnormal person.
The abnormal person had been sorted out, and all traces of bad things had been cleaned up, leaving only the smile frozen on his face. Death took away his life, and also took away the malice that lingered around him.
The abnormal person who turned into a corpse now looks like an ordinary person, a weak and ordinary person.
The silence did not last long, and Cang Wendong urged the collector again: "If you need it, we can give you high-definition videos and photos for you to enjoy."
"I don't have any special fetish for corpses." The collector looked away and looked at Cang Wendong and said, "You should be clear about this."
Cang Wendong nodded and said, "So, you should be able to hear the subtext of my sending you away."
"Let's go, doctor, it's time for us to talk." The collector smiled gently at Jiang Yiyi: "Although I have anticipated the difficulty of the conversation, the doctor's eyes..."
"They are truly the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in my life."
"It encompasses evil and good, indifference and objectivity, tolerance and judgment..." The collector stared into Jiang Yiyi's dark eyes and said, "It encompasses everything that humans have, and it calmly watches the world."
"Because it covers too many things, it completely obscures the personality that doctors should have as human beings."
The Collector glanced at Bai Cang and said, "A doctor with no hobbies, no desires, no obsessions, no weaknesses, and nothing, is looking at the world with a pair of eyes like this."
“It’s like God is looking down on His world.”
“But there is no God in this world.”
The collector said slowly, "So, what kind of thoughts does a doctor with such eyes have when he looks at the world?"
"Look at this terrible, fragile and ridiculous world."
