Until the mentor and the magician left, Lin Yi still couldn't confirm what he had heard in the conversation just now. He had some guesses about it, but he was not sure.
Jiang Yiyi was still sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book. She looked so calm and composed that it was impossible to feel nervous—even though Lin Yi had just finished listening to a conversation that contained a huge amount of information and even witnessed with his own eyes a scene where both parties reached a tacit agreement on a deal.
"Doctor?" Lin Yi hesitated again and again. In order to avoid a situation where the situation would go in an unpredictable direction due to misunderstanding the content of the previous conversation, he decided to confirm the subtext of the previous conversation with Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi raised her eyes to look at Lin Yi, taking in his expression, and closed the book: "What do you want to ask?"
"Teacher... who is he?"
At the end of the conversation just now, those two meaningful sentences, after removing the parts that made people fantasize, only left the most real temptation, which undoubtedly hinted that the mentor's true identity was related to Xingyu.
"If I'm not mistaken," Jiang Yiyi took out the blade that his mentor had put back in his hand and looked at it for a few seconds. The cold blade had no temperature at all, but its sharp edge was enough to stop people in their tracks.
Not everyone can take it from Jiang Yiyi, and not everyone can be a special NPC.
So far, Jiang Yiyi has only seen five special NPCs: Lin Yi, Madman, Lion, Jian Si, and the Mentor.
Among them, only the lion was not contacted much by Jiang Yiyi due to the agreement with King Ye, but the remaining ones were worthy of their special NPC identities. They either had complex background settings or were special existences that could not be detected.
Among them, the mentor is undoubtedly the most special one - he is the only one who is not inferior to Jiang Yiyi.
"He is the most indispensable existence in Xingyu." Jiang Yiyi looked at Lin Yi with a smile: "If he taught you, then I have to say that you are very lucky."
Is Star Prison an indispensable existence
Lin Yi had been thinking about who was the indispensable existence in the Star Prison, but he hadn't gotten the answer yet. When he caught a glimpse of Jiang Yiyi's smiling face, he was suddenly startled.
The magician's abnormality and Xingyu's exceptionally efficient reaction speed flashed through his mind at the same time, pointing him to an incredible guess.
"You mean, the mentor is..." This was such an incredible guess that Lin Yi couldn't believe it when he said it: "Star Prison Director?"
The ruler of the Hanbang Star Prison, the only one of the five commanders of the Hanbang Alliance who has an independent existence and has not left any video footage to the outside world
Although the other party is not well-known in the outside world, as one of the five commanders, the power possessed by the Star Warden can be said to be completely beyond people's imagination - commander, with his own troops, the right to mobilize starship forces under special circumstances, and veto power in parliament. When more than three commanders express no confidence in the parliament, the parliament will enter the dissolution and reorganization process.
In a nutshell, the only five commanders in the Covenant are at the top of the Covenant's power pyramid.
Lin Yi is temporarily unable to connect the mentor who once taught him kindly with the existence at the pinnacle of power - no matter how you look at it, the Star Prison that is soaked in blood and death and encompasses the darkest side of human nature is completely different from the generous, tolerant and rational mentor, right
"If my guess is correct, if there is only one indispensable person in the Star Prison." Jiang Yiyi was not surprised at all: "Then he is the legendary Star Prison Chief."
Although it is hard to accept, since this sentence came out of Jiang Yiyi's mouth, it must be correct.
Lin Yi immediately accepted his mentor's new identity and instantly understood the cryptic conversations just now: "So, the mentor and the doctor have reached a consensus?" He carefully asked, "About finding the person behind the scenes?"
“The man behind the scenes…” Jiang Yiyi repeated the word softly and couldn’t help laughing.
Lin Yi's gaze was originally wandering in the air, but after Jiang Yiyi smiled, it slowly fixed on Jiang Yiyi.
"It has nothing to do with it." Jiang Yiyi said lightly: "This is just a cover he used to confirm it."
"Confirm? Confirm what?" Lin Yi muttered to himself, then realized: "Confirm whether there is really someone behind the doctor?"
"When you hear a conversation," Jiang Yiyi glanced at Lin Yi and didn't mind saying a few more words: "First of all, you have to make sure that you can't trust the other party unconditionally."
“Second, don’t follow the other person’s line of thought.”
"In the end, even if all the answers are lies, there will be the answer you want behind the lies. What you need to think about is the other person's motive for lying."
Lin Yi was stunned by such basic thinking teaching: "Doctor, I still understand these basics..."
"From the question you asked, I doubt it." Jiang Yiyi paused for two seconds and suddenly changed the subject: "What's with your expression just now?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a second: "What?"
"Look at me." Jiang Yiyi stared at him, his eyes passing across Lin Yi's face, making the person being stared at once again have the illusion of being dissected - from the body to the soul, nothing can escape the other's sight.
Jiang Yiyi stared at the emotional anatomy diagram, and for the first time, she was a little unsure of its correctness: "Amazing?"
Just as if something hidden deep inside was suddenly exposed to the sun, Lin Yi felt awkward for the first time in a long time - this emotion was really very distant to him, and could even be traced back to the days when he was young and frivolous and had not yet hidden his identity.
Jiang Yiyi watched as an "embarrassment" faintly emerged from his emotional anatomy, frowned, and felt that the problem was not simple.
"you like me?"
“Puff—” Lin Yi coughed loudly, and was afraid that the doctor would confirm his guess because he did not answer in time, so he struggled to explain in his coughing: “No, cough cough, absolutely not!”
He first stated his innocence firmly, then he calmed down and said, "It's just..." Lin Yi never thought that one day he would need to explain this to a doctor - how fearless of death must one be to have such delusions about a doctor
Even if the doctor's appearance may give people a certain illusion, anyone who gets close to the doctor will not only dispel this unnecessary illusion, but will not even regard the doctor as an object of admiration.
Would you like the abyss? Would you like death? Would you like fear
Of course, the doctor is definitely not the abyss, death and fear, he is just an existence coexisting with these three words.
This is not an existence that mortals can approach, because even if you just stay by the other person's side for a short time, you need to have the awareness of abandoning life and death and giving up yourself.
"It's just..." Lin Yi quickly glanced at the doctor's calm expression and said, "As a visual animal, I am sometimes bewitched by doctors."
Bewitched by me
Does this word have any connection with me
Jiang Yiyi stood up, walked towards the bathroom, and stopped in front of the mirror.
He stared at himself in the mirror. He looked just like he remembered, ordinary and unworthy of mention.
Lin Yi glanced in Jiang Yiyi's direction and praised sincerely, "She is a completely different type from Jian Si, but Jian Si is totally incomparable to the doctor."
There is an insurmountable gap between the fragile herbivores and the powerful predators. People may pity the herbivores, but everyone will admire and appreciate the predators that represent strength itself.
Jane Si can't be compared with me
Jiang Yiyi began to suspect that she had not only lost a piece of memory, but also had a distorted aesthetic.
"Poor language cannot describe doctors." Lin Yi felt this from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Yiyi sat back on the sofa, doubting her own aesthetic taste.
He looked at Lin Yi deeply, and even Lin Yi began to panic, then he said, "Draw it for me."
Lin Yi didn't dare to ask why. He walked to the desk, picked up the pen, and started drawing honestly.
Jiang Yiyi changed the subject. Because of this sudden interruption, he lost interest in teasing Lin Yi and simply said, "He is interested in me."
Jiang Yiyi paused and laughed again: "Of course, everyone is interested in me."
"It's just that as the head of the Star Prison, he is particularly interested in me." Jiang Yiyi calmly summed up the conversation just now: "He is not concerned about the person behind the scenes who may not exist, but me."
"I may be the only one with a fully evolved esper."
Lin Yi paused: "He wants to win over doctors?" After saying this, Lin Yi corrected himself: "No, I should say, he wants to study doctors?"
"Didn't you say before that the magician said something?"
Jiang Yiyi calmly revealed to Lin Yi the anomaly that Lin Yi had noticed but had not found: "They have been on the road of studying the direction of human evolution for too long, so long that they don't even know where they went wrong, which led to the current predicament."
"Compared to the mentor, the magician is really not good at speaking." Jiang Yiyi analyzed the obscure existence hidden in the words, with ease, as if he had done it countless times: "He said too much, enough to expose their purpose."
"The Star Prison was established because of the ability users. Everything they do is built on this foundation."
Jiang Yiyi stared into the distance calmly, as if she had spied on the unspoken confrontation: "Maybe they have figured out something, or maybe they have gained nothing, but at least we can be sure of one thing, they are currently in trouble."
Lin Yi stopped again: "So, they want to cooperate with the doctor?" He was a little confused: "But there is one thing I can't understand. If they really want to get out of trouble, why don't they just..." take action directly
The doctors were on their turf, and they had the undoubted upper hand, even if it might cost some lives—but it would be too restrained to back down without even trying.
"Because they have learned their lessons." Jiang Yiyi had no doubt about this. From the moment he entered the building and met his mentor, he knew clearly that they had learned profound enough lessons that they were extremely restrained in dealing with matters related to people with special abilities.
If Jiang Yiyi had not learned the lesson before, she would not have seen a building like this, but a laboratory and an operating table.
If the lesson had not been profound enough, the mentor would not have come to see him in person and had the conversation he just had.
The weak who are bullied by others will not get any mercy from the strong.
The word "lesson..." carries a bloody flavor, making people feel the heavy feeling.
"Someone will tell us the answer." Compared with Lin Yi's sigh, Jiang Yiyi seemed too calm - he was like this most of the time.
As expected of a doctor, he can always look down on everything with a clear conscience.
Lin Yi put down his pen, moved by the doctor's calmness. Calmness has a kind of power - of course, Lin Yi had never noticed it before meeting Jiang Yiyi, but after meeting Jiang Yiyi, Lin Yi deeply understood this sentence.
Can a doctor’s calmness be just ordinary calmness
Jiang Yiyi didn't know what Lin Yi, who was increasingly brainwashing himself, was thinking. He stood up, walked to the desk, and took a look at Lin Yi's paintings.
As a spy, Lin Yi's abilities are obviously above normal, such as painting.
Jiang Yiyi stared at the portrait for a few seconds, which was no different from what he saw in the mirror, then turned to look at Lin Yi.
"Jane Si can't compare with me?"
Lin Yi nodded as a matter of course.
Is it my aesthetic that is wrong, or is it the aesthetic of this game that is wrong
"Don't you think it's ordinary?"
"How could that be?" Lin Yi looked at the painting, then at Jiang Yiyi, and said with a guilty tone: "I didn't draw it well..."
It seems that there is something wrong with the aesthetics of this game. Jiang Yiyi came to this conclusion and naturally interrupted this meaningless conversation: "Go open the door."
So the doctor asked me to draw this picture just to admire his own beauty
Lin Yi muttered to himself, and swiped the card to open the door naturally. Seeing the cell door slowly opening, he suddenly realized: "Doctor? Are we going out?"
"I'm not going out." Jiang Yiyi stared at the door of room "1-007" opposite and said, "I'm going to visit our neighbors."
The neighbor who always makes strange laughs? Lin Yi looked at his card, unsure if he had the authority to do so, but since the instructor had said so just now...
Even though he knew that his mentor was the Star Prison Master, Lin Yi's subconscious trust in him remained unchanged.
He walked a few steps and stood at the door of 1-007. He did not hear the laughter that was often heard. On the contrary, 1-007 seemed particularly silent.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense for some reason.
Lin Yi took out the card, looked at the electronic lock at the door, and stretched out his hand.
The electronic lock obtained the authorization in the card, and with a slight flash, the door that had been tightly closed all the time slowly opened.
Lin Yi heard something, before he could react.
With a whoosh, the sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The familiar smell of blood slowly spread in the nearby area.
Lin Yi's reaction had just been completed at this moment - he took a step back and distanced himself from the person in front of him.
It was not that the other party suddenly appeared, but that he had been standing behind the door, waiting for them to open the door.
"Ha ha ha ha"
The man who laughed crazily lowered his head and licked the blood on his palm.
His hand paused in the air.
If we restore the position where Lin Yi was standing just now, we can clearly know where the opponent's hand should have been - on Lin Yi's neck, which is enough to be a fatal blow.
But unfortunately, this action that should have taken Lin Yi's life was stopped by an unexpected presence—a blade was inserted into his palm, deeply inserted into it, almost piercing through the entire hand.
"What a warm greeting." The other person's gaze passed over Lin Yi and fell on Jiang Yiyi who was standing in room 1-002.
Almost at the same time when his eyes fell on Jiang Yiyi, a cluster of extremely bright light flashed in his eyes, and he sighed vaguely with emotion: "You are so beautiful."
Lin Yi silently took a step to the side, leaving the doctor ample space to maneuver.
Jiang Yiyi's fingertips spun silver light, and she laughed softly amid the interweaving of danger and shadow.
"Hiss." The other party took a deep breath: "Don't do this, I can't help but kill you."
He lowered his head and licked the blood that kept flowing from his hands. "It's rare to have such an interesting little guy. If he died like this, he would be angry."
Lin Yi was a little surprised that the other party didn't realize how scary the doctor was. Anyone who has seen a doctor holding a knife should feel this very clearly.
But the other party didn't seem to notice, and even... looked down on the doctor
As expected of a madman, Lin Yi moved aside a little to avoid the other party's blood splattering on himself.
"Let's try it." Jiang Yiyi was also curious about how powerful the person could be who could have a single room that ranked so high in a building with such tight defenses.
He stopped laughing and calmly said to the man who was busy licking blood: "Try to kill me."
The author has something to say: As mentioned before, the organization that Lin Yi belongs to is itself a part of Star Prison - and the mentor obviously belongs to this organization and is obviously a high-level one, because he is the one who taught Lin Yi.
And the last paragraph of Chapter 50
Lin Yi corrected him: "The doctor is very interested in him."
"It should be them." The magician muttered, showing his usual exaggerated smile: "It's rare that the doctor is interested in something, but I'm afraid this is not..."
He stopped talking and glanced at the person who walked in from behind Lin Yi: "Why are you here?"
Note the last word "no" in the magician's sentence - this means that he wanted to refuse the other party, but he stopped because someone suddenly appeared, and this person was the mentor.
And the next paragraph.
"Okay, if that's what you want, mentor..." The magician smiled and changed the subject: "Where were we talking about just now?" He recalled pretentiously: "The doctor is interested in other people?"
"It's rare for a doctor to be interested in something, so I have to apply to my superiors." The magician said sincerely: "After all, a doctor is also a psychologist, maybe it can work wonders for those crazy people?"
I always feel that the other party didn’t think so at first
Lin Yi was a little confused and glanced at his instructor subconsciously.
The magician's denial turned into affirmation, and Lin Yi's feeling that the other party didn't think so at first came from this subtle change in attitude.
And this paragraph implies that the mentor is clearly superior to the magician.
After he left, there was silence for a few seconds.
The instructor pinched the bridge of his nose lightly and said something to another person present, his tone sounding a little regretful.
"You haven't improved at all in these years."
————
Because it's at the bottom, there are more foreshadowings that need to be revealed, and I'm trying to write it more simply and straightforwardly - even if the chapter where it appears is a bit confusing, I'll try to make it clear in the subsequent conversations between the doctor and others.
Because I couldn't find the right time to say these things in other conversations - so Lin Yi, who was innocently reduced in intelligence... had to ask these questions. (Laughs) This caused the doctor's perception of his IQ to drop all the way.
But, in fact... (suddenly cut off)
Some things that involve spoilers cannot be revealed for the time being.
————
And I discovered that I really love foreshadowing.
Because some details can imply many things, but it is difficult to list them all in the narrative, so I only picked out the most critical details and had to give up the others with regret.
And some details have been buried for so long that I have forgotten them myself...
————
And even though I think it's impossible, what if there's a cutie who feels conflicted about what he said in chapter 50
The magician touched his nonexistent hat and said, "Teacher, I don't want you to interfere in the affairs of the Star Prison."
That was because the magician tried to distance the mentor from the Star Prison in front of Lin Yi, and tried to create a scenario where the mentor and the Star Prison did not have such a close relationship - after all, they did not reveal the fact that the mentor = the Star Prison Director.
Of course, having said that, in the last paragraph of Chapter 51, although the little cuties may not have felt it, the bystander Lin Yi did feel it.
At the end of the conversation just now, those two meaningful sentences, after removing the parts that made people fantasize, only left the most real temptation, which undoubtedly hinted that the mentor's true identity was related to Xingyu.
————
Therefore, the last paragraph of Chapter 51 is a test that everyone knows is a test.
"What a pity, you must be very busy..."
"If it's a doctor, I'm always available."
"But Xingyu should need you very much?"
"But compared to you, Xingyu is nothing more than that."
Jiang Yiyi guessed the mentor's identity, and the mentor knew that Jiang Yiyi guessed his identity.
————
There is an illusion that the preface is longer than the main text.
This is a summary of the important foreshadowings from the previous chapters - because they are related, they will have to wait until this chapter to be fully explained.
