The weather on the fourth floor is always terrible and the sun rarely appears.
Jiang Yiyi walked under the cloudy sky. The prison guards coming and going ignored him, like two non-intersecting parallel lines, almost giving people the illusion of freedom.
But the reason an illusion is an illusion is that it is wrong.
The smell of blood mixed with damp water vapor was everywhere, like a creature rotting in a corner, emitting the unique breath of death, adding a layer of silent weight to the Star Prison, pulling back all those who wanted to escape from here.
Jiang Yiyi walked casually back the way he came. Jian Si followed behind him, unusually silent.
This silence lasted until they returned to Jiang Yiyi's cell and was never broken.
Lin Yi, who was being stared at by the madman, paused his gaze on Jian Si for a few seconds, a little surprised - what Jiang Yiyi said when he left just now almost made him think that he would bring back something extraordinary when he came back, but the result... was just this
Jiang Yiyi sat down on the sofa and gestured towards the opposite side of the sofa.
Jian Si sat down opposite him obediently.
"Is this your answer to me?"
Jian Si sat up straight and answered his question in a serious tone: "I have completed your request. I killed Black Gloves and stood in front of you with my own ability."
Jiang Yiyi clasped her hands together, leaned forward, and a sense of oppression suddenly spread, sweeping away all the emotions floating in the room.
"Did you kill Black Glove?"
Jian Si's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he glanced at Jiang Yiyi. The feeling of that moment came over him again - Jiang Yiyi had clearly not only threatened him with death, but the only person who had truly made him feel death, and even felt that the other person could really kill him, was Jiang Yiyi.
So, in all this, although there was fear and temptation, he had nowhere to escape.
Jiang Yiyi is the only choice.
Jian Si retracted his gaze and answered Jiang Yiyi's question: "No."
Jiang Yiyi was surprised by his honesty and looked at him again.
As the immortal protagonist of this game, the other party has undergone tremendous changes in these days - the kind of complete transformation, which even makes people feel that if he was like this at the beginning of the game, perhaps the players would not have died miserably with 108 different endings.
So, what happened to him
Jiang Yiyi thought about why the other person had become what he was now without any self-awareness. Not finding a reasonable explanation, she simply asked, of course, in an imperative sentence: "You have changed a lot."
The topic suddenly changed, but Jian Si continued Jiang Yiyi's question without any hindrance.
"Because I have to complete what I promised the doctor."
Jian Si looked directly at Jiang Yiyi for the first time - Jiang Yiyi was good-looking, but what caught people's attention more than his appearance was his aura. The abyss was towering and as still as a mountain. Death and despair were by his side. Ordinary people could only glimpse a tiny crack in the endless abyss, as more surging existences were hidden underneath and could not be seen.
The more you experience death, the more clearly you can recognize the appearance of that black streak.
At this time, no one would care about Jiang Yiyi's appearance. For Jiang Yiyi's existence itself, beauty or ugliness had no meaning.
Jian Si took a deep breath, swept away all the unnecessary emotions, and continued calmly and firmly: "I have to rely on my own abilities to stand in front of the doctor, so I have to let myself..." Cross the mountains and obstacles, be reborn, and become completely another person.
The smell of blood still lingered on his hands, and the image of the dead black gloves was still before his eyes, but the madness that had lingered around him fell back into the abyss and disappeared the moment he saw Jiang Yiyi.
"So that I won't die easily."
This is too modest. What does it mean to die easily? He will not die at all.
I have to admit that Jiang Yiyi was a little concerned about this - when he was about to gradually accept the fact that he was awesome, he discovered that there was someone here who was far more awesome than him. The protagonist had the special plug-in - immortality, and was much more awesome than him no matter how you looked at it.
Before Jiang Yiyi had the chance to accept the reality that she was awesome, she was shattered to pieces.
Jiang Yiyi lost interest in exploring the other party's changes, and the topic suddenly jumped again: "What is your mission?"
Jian Si was stunned for two seconds before he realized from Jiang Yiyi's gaze towards Lin Yi that this question was not directed at him, but at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was stunned for two seconds, not understanding the meaning of his question.
Considering Lin Yi's intelligence, Jiang Yiyi kindly helped him translate the question: "What can you give to complete your mission?"
Lin Yi's expression seemed even more confused.
You don't understand this? This shouldn't be the case. Is Lin Yi's IQ so low
Jiang Yiyi was a little confused and revised her question again, turning it back into an imperative sentence: "Exchange your mission for your life."
For some reason, after the question became an imperative sentence, Lin Yi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment...
"Why?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.
Jiang Yiyi thought, "This guy might really have a problem with his brain." "I have answered this question twice."
Lin Yi corrected his question: "I mean, is it just because you feel it will be regretful?"
He tried to understand Jiang Yiyi using common sense: "This is not equivalent. This little regret is not worth spending so much to redeem it."
He was even a little flattered: "I'm surprised that I'm so important to you."
Lin Yi was deeply impressed by the expression Jiang Yiyi gave him at that time—he once again felt that his intelligence was doubted by the other party.
"Such a huge price..." Jiang Yiyi repeated the word, but since he had done nothing, he decided not to comment on it.
He turned his head and looked at Jian Si, who had been silent for a long time: "Have you reached a cooperation with Black Gloves?"
Jane Si nodded.
Lin Yi subconsciously widened his eyes, and if the wound had not been still aching, he would have almost climbed out of bed.
Although he didn't get up from the bed, he still stubbornly made his presence felt: "What cooperation? Why would he cooperate with you?" Even he didn't gain the trust of the Black Gloves, so how could the Black Gloves trust a complete stranger
Jian Si ignored him and waited quietly for Jiang Yiyi's next question.
Jiang Yiyi didn't ask, he simply deduced: "Black Glove's fatal wound was caused by him himself, and the remaining twelve wounds were caused by you."
"He committed suicide because he had to die, but if there was no special reason, he wouldn't have called you over just to have you slash him a dozen times." Jiang Yiyi spoke as if he had seen the scene with his own eyes: "So it's very simple, no matter what the reason, he chose you."
As for the reason, Jiang Yiyi suspected it was due to the protagonist's halo.
"Then what they want will not be in the hands of others, but in your hands."
Lin Yi suddenly realized... No, his doubts were not explained at all. Jiang Yiyi lightly ignored the most critical question - why did Black Glove not even believe him, but believed Jian Si
If it was so easy to gain the trust of Black Glove, then he was too incompetent to fail in his mission and even nearly die because of it.
"But now that I mention it, I am a little curious..."
Lin Yi focused his attention. Here it comes. He is going to ask...
"Why did you agree to him?"
What's the problem? Lin Yi frowned, thinking naturally, of course it's because Jian Si also wants that information - who on the fourth floor doesn't want that information? - Except for the doctor.
"Because I want to prove my ability to the doctor." Jian Si glanced at Lin Yi and said, "The doctor will use it."
Feeling a bit strange, Lin Yi put away those exaggerated expressions he had deliberately shown - but it didn't work anyway, and the people at the scene were not moved by his performance at all.
What's strange
Lin Yi quickly reviewed the relationship between Jian Si and Jiang Yiyi and found the problem.
The first time they met, Jiang Yiyi almost attacked Jian Si directly. The second time they talked alone, he threatened Jian Si with his life. The third time they met - that is, now, Jian Si is doing everything he can to express his loyalty.
Did he miss any key plot points
How did their relationship suddenly change like this
Is this the legendary Stockholm syndrome
Lin Yi glanced at Jian Si and crossed out the last line.
There may be many crazy people on the fourth floor of the Star Prison, but those suffering from Stockholm syndrome are definitely not among them - because those who are weak enough to have a liking for the murderer who hurt them will not live long.
In the layers below the Star Prison, there is one thing that is so important that it is even important enough for everyone to remember: exposing your weaknesses means you may die at any time.
Although Jiang Yiyi’s experience in Star Prison may give some people the illusion that “Star Prison is actually nothing,” the fact is that not everyone is Jiang Yiyi. For ordinary people, threats, fear, and death are their normal state in Star Prison.
Making themselves stronger so that they can live longer in Star Prison is a more common thought among prisoners.
Instead of just going through the motions, like a sightseeing tour, walking through these floors leaves behind a legend.
Lin Yi's thoughts were distracted for a moment by Jiang Yiyi, but he quickly returned to the point. So was Jian Si's current behavior due to something Jiang Yiyi had done? Or was it because Jian Si... had other intentions
If it is the former, why does Jiang Yiyi look at Jian Si differently
If it is the latter, what is Jian Si planning
Countless conspiracy theories flashed through Lin Yi's mind in an instant - this was most of his normal thinking pattern. As an undercover agent lurking in the shadows, thinking ten steps ahead, if he didn't think carefully enough, he would have died countless times already.
Lin Yi was idle and making random guesses, but the conversation with Jiang Yiyi was still going on.
Jiang Yiyi's only reaction to Jian Si's efforts to express her loyalty was to raise her eyebrows.
"So you have no intention of fulfilling your agreement with the Black Gloves?"
Jian Si hesitated. He couldn't figure out Jiang Yiyi's thoughts, especially asking this question at this time.
But for Jian Si, the answer is simple: "I listen to you."
"He's really trying his best to prove himself." Jiang Yiyi muttered softly, and everyone heard it clearly.
Jiang Yiyi hesitated for a few seconds, which was rare. Then, an inconspicuous silver light flashed between her fingers again.
Almost in an instant, everyone's eyes fell on his hand - except for the madman, who was still staring at Jiang Yiyi as usual, ignoring the silver light in his hand.
The blade flew up and down in Jiang Yiyi's hand, spinning in a beautiful arc, which was truly pleasing to the eye.
But in the eyes of bystanders, there was nothing worth appreciating except the sudden smell of blood and death.
Jiang Yiyi hesitated for a few seconds - should she try to kill Jian Si again to see how many times the other party could be resurrected.
Is it infinite resurrection, or is there a limit on the number of times you can reload the game
But considering the previous agreement with Jian Si, he took back the blade with some regret. After all, he never broke his promise.
Overly high moral standards do sometimes cause trouble for Jiang Yiyi.
"Then continue to do your best to prove yourself." The silver light disappeared in Jiang Yiyi's hands, and the slightly tense atmosphere began to flow again.
Jiang Yiyi continued calmly: "If you don't work hard enough, I will take back what belongs to me."
What belongs to you... is it his life
He said something very scary with a calm face.
Lin Yi was used to this. Otherwise, did anyone think that everyone was afraid of doctors just because they looked scary
Of course, it’s because he’s really scary.
Jian Si's reaction to this was also very normal - those more intense emotions had already appeared in the long period of time after their first meeting, and the fact that he could stand calmly in front of Jiang Yiyi at this moment proved that those emotions no longer affected him.
Fear, anger, panic, worry, fear, hesitation...
That's all.
Jiang Yiyi casually informed the other party that his fate depended on his life or death—or more accurately, after threatening the other party, he changed the subject again: "There is paper on the table."
Jian understood, stood up, walked to the table, and calmly started writing.
Lin Yi paused for a moment on Jian Si, then turned back to look at Jiang Yiyi and asked a question that he could no longer understand: "Compared to him, you are really too…" Lin Yi paused and searched for the right adjective: "Tolerant."
"Why?" Lin Yi remembered what Ye Wang had reminded him - maybe you should think about why he wanted to keep you - and couldn't help but want an answer.
"Tolerance? You haven't made any mistakes. You don't need to use this word."
Lin Yi was silent for two seconds, then changed the adjective: "You are a little too good to me, so good that it makes me feel weird."
He stared at Jiang Yiyi. The pressure he was used to didn't bother him much. He desperately wanted an answer: "If all the things before were just for fun, but in order to keep me alive, you did this..."
Jiang Yiyi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she interrupted him: "What do you mean by doing this?"
Lin Yi looked at Jian Si who was writing furiously, and the meaning was self-evident.
Laying out the plan at the very beginning, intervening at the very end, and completely changing the entire chessboard - such a large-scale manipulation can be called "going to this extent".
"I think you misunderstood something." Jiang Yiyi sighed: "To be honest, have you really never considered improving your IQ?"
A legendary undercover agent who thinks things through, looks ten steps ahead at one step, and maneuvers between the Star Monitoring Association and the Nianluo Association. Lin Yi was silent for a few seconds: "Doctor, most people in the world are not you." So my IQ is really not low at all.
"I admire you."
Lin Yi was slightly stunned.
“I admire those who go to the path of death for a noble purpose.”
Jiang Yiyi clasped her hands together, resting them on her chin, and stared at Lin Yi: "No matter whether this noble goal is noble or not to others, the evaluation of outsiders is meaningless, isn't it?"
Jian Si put down his pen and turned his head to look at Jiang Yiyi.
Lin Yi's expression returned to being calm again, eliminating all unnecessary expressions and reactions, leaving no room for being spied on.
"So, if you died like this, I would feel a little regretful." Jiang Yiyi stretched out his hand and paused in the air.
Jian Si handed the paper covered with words to Jiang Yiyi.
"Since they want you to die, then..." Jiang Yiyi handed the paper covered with words to Lin Yi: "Give me your life."
This is the devil's whisper, an invitation to the abyss, a bait for death.
Lin Yi was very clear about this. He even knew which one was more terrifying, death or Jiang Yiyi.
He had no reason to accept this invitation - this was his fate, so why should he embark on a path more painful than death just to survive
But at this moment, he fell silent.
What made him hesitate was not death or fear, but Jiang Yiyi herself.
The extreme aura that Jiang Yiyi carries makes his danger clear, but if you get closer, if you are able to accept this little bit of oppression, or even... if you know him well enough, you will find that, in a sense, his danger is enough to be transformed into a more extreme attraction.
He is special, no doubt about it.
Lin Yi felt a little dry in the mouth. He knew he had remained silent for too long. He should have refused without hesitation so as not to expose the fact that he was hesitating about it.
But it seemed too late to refuse now, because his hesitation had been exposed.
Jiang Yiyi waited patiently for some time, but the person in front of her didn't speak.
He put down the paper and pushed it in front of Lin Yi.
"answer me."
"I have no reason to agree to your request."
Jiang Yiyi laughed: "So, you are asking me for a reason? So that you can betray me with a clear conscience?"
Lin Yi raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yiyi, feeling a little helpless that the other party was always right. He admitted it frankly: "That's right."
Jiang Yiyi readily gave him a reason: "Because I was the one who invited you."
Lin Yi sighed deeply: "Doctor, are you always so narcissistic?"
Jiang Yiyi's doubtful tone was very sincere: "Isn't this the reason for your hesitation?"
Jiang Yiyi is never narcissistic, he just repeats the facts.
