“Don’t be impulsive.”
Lin Yi's voice was heard immediately afterwards. He noticed that Jiang Yiyi's mood was very stable, so he slowed down his tone. With the idea that "saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda", he advised the magician: "Let go first."
The magician glanced at him and said, "You should tell this to the doctor."
Lin Yi pulled the corner of his mouth and repeated: "Let go first."
The magician wanted to say something, but the gatekeeper reached out, grabbed the back of his neck, lifted him up, and put him aside.
The edge in Jiang Yiyi's hand flashed by and did not disappear because the magician stopped. On the contrary, the gorgeous edge outlined a dazzling arc and kept rotating in Jiang Yiyi's hand.
The magician glanced at the gatekeeper and smoothed his uniform with his hand. In the end, he didn't ask for death.
"Doctor, we need an explanation." The gatekeeper looked at the shocking scene in 1-003 and said calmly, "About the professor's death."
"I'm as surprised as you are." Jiang Yiyi turned his gaze away from the magician and looked at the corpse: "About his death."
"It seems that you had a conflict." The magician calmed down and took up the conversation again: "Is this the reason for his sudden death?"
Let’s not talk about what the lowest level of Star Prison is like. Just looking at the fearless spirit of the prison guards at the lowest level of Star Prison is enough to get a glimpse of the style of the lowest level of Star Prison.
Lin Yi expressed the above emotion because of the magician's repeated acts of seeking death. He even suspected that the other party was not afraid of death, but did not know that he was seeking death at all.
In fact, the magician knows exactly what he is doing, and even more clearly what he is facing—death, which no one knows when will come.
Before confirming Jiang Yiyi's code of conduct, no one can be sure which words would make him want to kill.
Jiang Yiyi's ability makes death unexpected.
The unknown arrival of death constantly intensifies the fear, which is why most people feel endless pressure when facing Jiang Yiyi - when you know that your life is in the hands of others, the weight of life itself is enough to make people bend down and kneel.
But the problem is that there must be someone here who asks this question.
This person couldn't be the manager of the fifth floor, nor could he be Lin Yi who stood on Jiang Yiyi's side, so it could only be him.
Fortunately, the magician had already prepared himself mentally for this - whether it was death or something else, so he could still calmly wait for Jiang Yiyi's answer in the slightly strange atmosphere.
"His death has nothing to do with me..." Jiang Yiyi stopped talking before the word "it has nothing to do with me" came out. He really couldn't say that it had nothing to do with him. At least Jiang Yiyi could be sure that the other party's death had an unclear relationship with him.
Magician: "It seems that even the doctor himself cannot completely deny the connection between the two."
"I don't deny that his death had something to do with me." Jiang Yiyi said calmly, "But this is different from me being the murderer."
Here it comes again, this familiar feeling—Jiang Yiyi's shadow looms behind the deaths, but there is no evidence to prove that those deaths are related to him.
"Then doctor, can you answer a small question of mine?" The magician turned his head to look at the professor sitting peacefully in the chair: "Why is it related to doctors?"
Jiang Yiyi did have a small guess that was not worth mentioning, from the "time is running out" that the professor said at the beginning to his special identity as a guide - the only reason why he was able to retain the memory of the previous episode and exist in the second episode was to tell Jiang Yiyi something that Jiang Yiyi should have known.
This special treatment is by no means without limits.
On the contrary, the deadline is extremely strict. Even if Jiang Yiyi does not arrive before the deadline, the professor will still die.
And after completing his mission, the other party's existence becomes even more unnecessary.
However, among the rules that only the professor himself knows, he will not do nothing and quietly wait for death to come.
On the contrary, he made some harmless arrangements, and then tricked Jiang Yiyi in the end—using his life as a price, using death as a bargaining chip, just for...
Jiang Yiyi turned his head to look at the magician. Although he didn't know the professor's purpose yet, he would soon understand.
"Because I saw him for the last time."
The gatekeeper stepped into 1-003 and checked the situation on site.
They had no intention of allowing other prison guards to enter the same building. On the contrary, the division of labor between the two of them was very clear.
The gatekeeper went in to check the body, while the magician stopped in front of Jiang Yiyi and asked about the situation in a tactful way.
The magician was somewhat surprised at Jiang Yiyi's cooperation. He noted this and continued to ask, "Did you have a conflict?"
"It's just a normal test." Jiang Yiyi said it lightly, and it didn't cause much stir in their ears - if a doctor and a professor met, it would be surprising if nothing happened.
"This tooth mark... can you tell me more about it?"
The shallow knife wound on the professor's hand might still be a normal test, but the teeth marks on his neck couldn't be considered a normal test, right
Besides, the professor has no interest in cannibalism.
Jiang Yiyi realized why the professor did this. Of course, it was not to express his love for Jiang Yiyi—Jiang Yiyi was skeptical about whether he had any human emotions—but to leave some hints to certain people.
For a person like the professor, every one of his actions must hide another purpose. When you are easily deceived, it means you have stepped into a death trap.
This is truly a profound lesson.
After Jiang Yiyi came to a conclusion that all the people with special abilities in the building were nothing special because of the Grim Reaper, the professor completely overturned this arrogant judgment after just one hour of contact.
Jiang Yiyi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she told the other party the truth frankly: "He loves me."
The atmosphere at the scene froze for about three seconds. The magician's expression paused and he turned to look at the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper was checking the professor's fatal wound - the blade that was deeply inserted into the heart. He noticed the magician's gaze and turned to look at him.
It was unknown what information the magician got from this look, but the other party quickly calmed down and accepted Jiang Yiyi's absurd reason: "So, this is him..."
The magician paused for a moment to prepare for his next description: "A manifestation of love?"
Jiang Yiyi thought for a few seconds and nodded, "That's right."
I think... this is a bit problematic, right? What happened when the doctor came in just now
Lin Yi hid his complex and turbulent thoughts deep in his heart, and used superficial calmness to disguise his indifference - in fact, he cared a lot.
Of course, it wasn't for any romantic reasons, but simply because - what kind of person would fall in love with a doctor
This question can also be replaced by - What kind of person is so fearless as to express his admiration for a doctor
Of course, the other party is indeed dead now.
It's even more terrifying when I think about it...
The magician digested this shocking news and continued to ask questions: "So, this is why his death is related to the doctor?" He tried to use common sense to infer the professor's behavior: "Because the doctor rejected him?"
Whether this happened out of the professor's despair for love or the doctor's anger and humiliation - both reasons sound absurd and blackly humorous, and there is no possibility at all.
"In fact, I didn't refuse." In the sudden stagnation, Jiang Yiyi said slowly: "He doesn't need my permission either."
He glanced at Lin Yi who had a stupid expression on his face: "Although he calls it admiration, he does not have the ability to adore someone."
The magician couldn't help but nod in agreement: "Indeed, according to the information..." Because he paused too quickly, the magician almost bit his tongue, but at least he didn't blurt out the next words - about their analysis and judgment of the professor.
Compared to Jiang Yiyi, who is full of contradictions and cannot be analyzed, the professor has stayed in Star Prison longer, and Star Prison's analysis of his qualifications is more complete, complete enough for them to determine the necessity of the professor being imprisoned at the bottom - even if he has no ability, he is extremely dangerous to ordinary people.
This is a complete antisocial personality who needs to be isolated from the crowd.
The magician closed his mouth and remained silent for two seconds. According to the training he had received and his own professional qualities, there was no possibility of him accidentally saying something he shouldn't say.
But this was the second time in front of Jiang Yiyi, the second time he almost said something he shouldn't have said - or maybe it wasn't really an almost incident.
Because even though he just interrupted this sentence, his answer itself had already given the other party enough information to confirm.
This unprofessional behavior almost makes people doubt the magician's professionalism, but in fact, the magician's professionalism is absolutely worthy of praise - the fact that he can stop the second half of the sentence that he shouldn't say at the critical moment is amazing enough.
This has nothing to do with the magician's professionalism, but with the other party in his conversation - he was influenced by Jiang Yiyi's abilities, there is no doubt about that.
After a brief silence, the magician spoke again: "From what we know about the professor, he is not someone who would rashly invite a doctor." Since he had already spoken, the magician simply said more: "According to the professor's habit, he never does anything without certainty."
"The doctor has only been living in the building for a few days. I think this short period of time is not enough for the professor to get to know the doctor well enough." The magician asked the question in a roundabout way: "Does the doctor know the professor?"
"If you still remember the conversation between me and my mentor," Jiang Yiyi reminded him, "He thinks I have lost some of my memory." He laughed softly, "He's right."
The gatekeeper pulled out the blade from the professor's body and put it into an isolation bag specially used for evidence search. He paused when he heard this.
The magician responded quickly: "Is the professor related to the man behind the scenes?"
Jiang Yiyi blinked at him: "I didn't say that."
His gaze shifted to the gatekeeper: "I just said, I don't remember if I knew him or not. But he..."
Jiang Yiyi dragged out his voice, observing their reactions with interest: "Maybe they know me."
Jiang Yiyi never lies - he only conceals some facts that don't need to be said, such as at this moment.
The magician frowned slightly, then quickly returned to his original appearance, restraining his slightly exposed emotions: "We will investigate this further."
He realized that the initiative of the conversation had fallen into Jiang Yiyi's hands at some point, so he turned his head and looked at the gatekeeper again.
The gatekeeper walked out of the room with the isolation bag and gave his verdict: "Preliminary observation shows that it was indeed suicide."
"Further investigation will take time regarding the professor's death..."
The gatekeeper said sternly: "As the last person to meet the professor, you have an unshirkable responsibility for his death."
"Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" Lin Yi, who had been silent for a long time, immediately said: "Since he committed suicide, then..."
The magician interrupted Lin Yi with a smile: "We never said we were reasonable."
His eyes passed Lin Yi and fell on Jiang Yiyi: "Because of the special nature of the bottom layer, evidence is not the main basis for conviction."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows: "Then what is the main basis for conviction?"
The magician pressed his nonexistent hat, his movements and tone as exaggerated as before: "Of course it is the judgment of the fifth floor manager, the respected gatekeeper."
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh: "His subjective evaluation?"
"If necessary, there will be others." The magician glanced at Lin Yi and said, "You should know where you stand now. It is not your turn to question the rules of the Star Prison, you little burden—"
His drawn-out words elicited no response.
Lin Yi calmed down and waited quietly for Jiang Yiyi's statement.
The calmness on Jiang Yiyi's face never changed - he had no reaction to the magician's implicit provocation.
The magician quietly added a question mark after his initial judgment of "protecting a shortcoming" - Jiang Yiyi's previous actions on the fourth floor could easily lead to some misunderstandings, such as his behavior of protecting these people, among which Lin Yi's treatment was the most special.
But the magician's simple ridicule did not elicit any response from Jiang Yiyi.
Maybe it's because the doctor doesn't show his emotions, or maybe it's because the doctor really doesn't care - this is why Jiang Yiyi's code of conduct is so difficult to infer.
The judgment of the previous moment is very likely to conflict with Jiang Yiyi's behavior in the next moment, and then be overturned - and Xingyu has repeated this process several times. The logical contradictions appear without any pattern and it is impossible to summarize the characteristics.
However, based on the magician's previous judgment that "Jiang Yiyi thinks he is a good person", he came to another conclusion - it's not that the doctor doesn't protect his shortcomings, but he feels that this level of ridicule - which is insignificant to a good person - does not require protection.
That judgment, which sounds extremely absurd, may be correct.
The magician's mind was spinning with thoughts that might shock the Star Prison, and he listened to what the gatekeeper said next.
"We will reassess your risk level." The gatekeeper said calmly, "Based on the results of the discussion, we will determine the responsibilities you should bear."
"Punishment." Jiang Yiyi translated the gatekeeper's euphemistic official description into an accurate meaning.
"Doctor?" Lin Yi looked at Jiang Yiyi inquiringly, as if he was ready to do something if Jiang Yiyi had any objections.
No? Did Lin Yi lack an accurate understanding of himself? Although the magicians did not understand Jiang Yiyi, Lin Yi was not enough to embarrass them.
A foolish idealist.
Now perhaps we have to add to this a lack of self-awareness.
Lin Yi did not get a response from Jiang Yiyi, but this did not prevent him from spontaneously and proactively protecting Jiang Yiyi's rights: "Given that the doctor only has six months left in his sentence, I have reason to suspect that you have extended the doctor's sentence through undemocratic and unprocessed subjective behavior, infringing on citizens' rights."
The magician's expression gradually became confused after hearing the other party's words.
Lin Yi ended his civilized threat with one last sentence: "Star Prison is not a place without law. I hope you will not break the law knowingly."
I... What did I just hear? The magician turned his head and looked at the gatekeeper, trying to get some support from him.
He saw the same doubts as his from the gatekeeper's unchanged expression.
Does this guy know what he is talking about? This may be the first time that the gatekeepers of the fifth-floor management have heard such a deafening sound in the territory of the fifth floor, so that they even doubt their own position.
If we remember correctly, we seem to be the righteous party, right
Jiang Yiyi didn't pay attention to the conversation between Lin Yi and the magician. He came to a conclusion after thinking about it.
He thought that he had found out the professor's purpose in paying the price with his life and using death as a bargaining chip - he was absolutely sure that his death would bring certain consequences to Jiang Yiyi, and this consequence was what he wanted.
So, the sentence is extended
Jiang Yiyi thought for two seconds and rejected this guess. Consequences of this magnitude were not worth the professor's concern.
That is, other consequences that Jiang Yiyi could not know due to lack of necessary information.
Jiang Yiyi doesn't think the professor is an enemy, but he cannot be simply classified as a friendly force - for a person like the professor, everything he does is for only one reason: he is happy to do it.
When Jiang Yiyi came to a conclusion and turned his attention back to the present, he noticed that the atmosphere in front of him was a little strange.
He briefly recalled the conversation just now, and his eyes swept over the people present, finally landing on Lin Yi.
"I don't think they are so ignorant." Jiang Yiyi showed the gatekeeper a friendly smile: "After all, Xingyu is in the calm before the storm. It is probably not a good choice to rashly attract the attention of the public."
A very shallow wrinkle appeared between the gatekeeper's brows, imprinted between his brows, and he suddenly looked a little solemn.
The magician was different from him. As soon as Jiang Yiyi finished speaking, he immediately replied in an exaggerated tone: "Doctor, you sound like you know something..." He paused and gave Jiang Yiyi an even more exaggerated smile: "Something we don't know."
Jiang Yiyi also smiled at him: "A friendly reminder."
The magician waited for a few seconds, but nothing came of it. Realizing that the other party was not going to say more, he spoke again, "What did the professor say just now?"
"He is not optimistic about the future development of Xingyu." Jiang Yiyi answered his question very honestly.
There was silence for two seconds. The magician and his companions would not believe the doctor's words just because of his one-sided opinion. In fact, Star Prison had always been in the spotlight because of its existence at the bottom of society and its special status as aloof from the rest of the world.
Star Prison has encountered enough challenges and snoopers, but the fact that it still stands here is enough to prove their strength.
"Thanks for the reminder." The gatekeeper responded to Jiang Yiyi calmly: "I think this conversation has gone on long enough."
He glanced at Lin Yi and said, "Please take your special care object back to the room."
"Regarding the questions you raised earlier, we will provide explanations if necessary." The gatekeeper's calmness showed great strength: "Of course, we support your actions in safeguarding the personal rights of citizens."
"But there is one thing I need to remind you of." The magician continued, "Before everything is settled, your speculation is of no use."
"We are the law enforcers who abide by the rules the most." The magician reminded the other party: "The judgment on whether the sentence will be extended is just your wishful thinking."
He reached out and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder: "Although I understand your reliance on doctors, at some point, you should also try to use your brain."
Jiang Yiyi's gaze stopped on the magician's hand and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
"I respect your attitude towards completing the task."
Jiang Yiyi stretched out his hand—but before he could be touched, the magician quickly withdrew his hand.
Jiang Yiyi's hand paused in the air and then was retracted.
"But I don't like your attitude." Jiang Yiyi's hand hung naturally by his side, without flashing silver light.
But this did not prevent the magician from tasting the infinite sharpness in his words. He took a step back and retreated behind the gatekeeper.
"It's just a friendly suggestion." He raised his hand, trying his best to express his harmlessness: "Doctor, after all, you can't protect him forever. He has to learn how to survive in this terrible world, right?"
The gatekeeper took a step to the side, blocking the magician behind him.
With just one sentence from Jiang Yiyi, the atmosphere on the scene changed instantly.
Lin Yi could understand this change very well - although the combined strength of the magician and the gatekeeper was enough to beat several Jiang Yiyi, this did not prevent Jiang Yiyi from instantly ending the battle before it even started before they touched him.
There is no doubt that the huge gap in fighting power between them was crushed by Jiang Yiyi's magical "psychology".
"Doctor, how about we go back first?" Lin Yi interrupted in a low-key manner, ending the confrontation before it even started.
Jiang Yiyi withdrew his gaze from the magician, turned around and walked towards the open door of 1-002.
Lin Yi followed closely behind him, and the two of them disappeared into 1-002 together.
The magician glanced at the tightly closed door of 1-002 and removed the question mark after the word "protecting".
There is no doubt that doctors do have the attribute of protecting their own people - it's just that doctors' tolerance for ridicule and provocation is much higher than that of normal lunatics (this description seems to be wrong), and is almost at the standard of normal people.
The tolerance of those people with special abilities that they are familiar with to provocation and ridicule is low enough for magicians to think twice before speaking every word - because you never know what words will make the other party suddenly explode.
Jiang Yiyi not only had a high tolerance for ridicule and provocation, but her reactions were also generally mild - there was no doubt about that, judging from the fact that the magician and the goalkeeper were standing there intact.
"The doctor is really special. At one point, I almost thought he was a really good person."
The magician sighed softly and subconsciously glanced at 1-007.
He didn't hear the familiar laughter - in the entire conversation just now.
This is somewhat unusual for the Grim Reaper.
Behind the door of 1-007, the Grim Reaper was still sitting there, maintaining the same posture as when Jiang Yiyi left, quietly listening to the conversation in the corridor - the sound insulation of a building was extremely outstanding, but for them, it did not play the role it should have.
When the corridor became completely quiet, the suppressed low laughter sounded again and did not stop for a long time.
"Love, love, love..." He repeated the word over and over again, and suddenly raised the tone: "Like, like, like..."
"I like it too..." He took a long breath, suppressing the almost uncontrollable crazy laughter back into his throat, so that the next word was almost a mumble: "Where's the doctor?"
The author has something to say: Thank you all for your comments and support.
In fact, even if I want to change, it won’t happen overnight, but I will try my best.
In fact, these chapters will try to solve the puzzles left behind, complete the story, and then start showing off happily.

Also, if you have no doubts after reading the main text, you don’t need to read it as a comment…
Because the readers are a very large group, some readers may not understand it, but some readers may have their own understanding and do not need my explanation.
However, considering the recent comments, I will gradually reduce the unnecessary explanations in my speeches.
————
Also, thank you again for your support, and thank you to every reader who has read this article even though I have so many problems in writing.
Thank you for every comment, every collection, and every click. It means a lot to me.
I will try my best to write this story well, hoping that everyone will have no regrets, and that I will have no regrets either.
————
Below are my explanations of some sentences that may cause confusion.
But the problem is that there must be someone here who asks this question.
The magician is not really fearless, nor is he stupid, he is just doing his duty.
————
The only reason why he was able to retain the memories of the previous week in the second week was to tell Jiang Yiyi something that Jiang Yiyi should have known.
So, the professor has been saying that Jiang Yiyi came too late - because if Jiang Yiyi has not met the professor before the time limit, the other party will still die.
The professor's death was inevitable - because he had super-gamed, and the rules of the game would not allow him to remain in the game after completing his mission.
————
However, among the rules that only the professor himself knows, he will not do nothing and quietly wait for death to come.
Faced with the inevitable death, the professor chose to turn passivity into initiative and use suicide to seize the only initiative.
————
Because of the bottom-level specialness, evidence is not the main basis for conviction. —The so-called bottom-level specialness is the existence of people with special abilities, whose abilities exceed the limits of human beings, allowing them to achieve their goals without leaving any evidence. So the magician said that evidence is not the main basis for conviction.
————
Jiang Yiyi: "I respect your attitude in completing the task." - All the magician's actions are based on his original mission, which is the passage in Chapter 47.
The magician is Jiang Yiyi's evaluator.
He will be responsible for the entire process of initial contact, assessment, analysis and reporting on Jiang Yiyi
