The noisy footsteps disappeared and the corridor returned to silence.
Jiang Yiyi glanced towards the door.
Lin Yi was looking around the room idly, his sight fell on the innermost closed room. He stood up, looked into the room, and noticed that it was closed tightly.
"Doctor?" Lin Yi didn't notice Jiang Yiyi's subtle movement towards the door just now. He stared at the door and asked, "What is that room used for? I don't think I've seen it opened?"
Jiang Yiyi followed his gaze and said, "Curious?"
"Not particularly curious..."
Lin Yi said with a different mind: "That's it..." He paused and suddenly changed the subject: "Doctor, the professor's death..."
The suspect Jiang Yiyi waited patiently for his next words.
Instead, Lin Yi, who asked the question, seemed a little nervous: "Did you do this?"
Jiang Yiyi closed the book, curious about his mentality in asking this question: "Do you care?"
Lin Yi licked his lips and his voice suddenly became softer: "I don't care."
"So what answer do you want to get from asking me?"
"I need to confirm what I should do next."
Lin Yi knew what he was saying, but every word that came out of his mouth made him feel dazed.
It was like I was watching myself speaking with cold eyes, or like I was looking at another me with a strange look.
"If it was done by a doctor, then I might need to deal with some people and things next." Lin Yi's tone was the same as usual: "If it was not done by a doctor, then I might need to do something else next."
Jiang Yiyi paused for two seconds to confirm what she heard, put the book in her hand on the coffee table, and gestured towards the sofa opposite her.
Lin Yi sat opposite him obediently.
Jiang Yiyi looked at Lin Yi once again, trying to figure out what made him so casually hint at the subtext of murder and silencing someone despite his usual appearance - this was too different from his previous personality.
The word "calm" appeared on the emotional anatomy chart, and the anatomical plane remained the same - there was no possibility that a different person had changed.
"You don't have to do anything." Unable to see the problem, Jiang Yiyi said directly: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Lin Yi smiled shyly: "This matter is related to the doctor, how can it have nothing to do with me?"
He leaned forward a little, then restrained himself, kept his distance, and whispered softly, "I'm the doctor's man."
“It is only natural to share the worries of doctors.”
I feel like something is not right.
Jiang Yiyi looked at Lin Yi and suspected that his mental state was not normal - of course this suspicion never disappeared. In Jiang Yiyi's eyes, Lin Yi's mental state had always been very bad.
"I don't have anything to worry about." Jiang Yiyi said calmly: "I didn't bring you here to let you do this."
Lin Yi was slightly stunned at first, then he suddenly realized, restrained his shy smile, and said seriously: "I think too much."
Why would a doctor who doesn't leave any loopholes need him to go to such lengths
Lin Yi thought calmly that he shouldn't have asked this question in the first place.
The doctor had already taught him what to do.
I don’t know why, but I feel that there is something creepy in his sudden realization.
Jiang Yiyi thought in silence for a few seconds and asked, "How is your mental state recently?"
As if acknowledging that the dangerous topic just now was over, Lin Yi smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Very good, I haven't been so relaxed in a long time."
Lin Yi stood up and wandered in front of the bookshelf, saying in a relaxed tone: "I feel very safe around the doctor. I even laugh at the heavy burden I carried before..."
He put the book on the coffee table back on the bookshelf and turned to look at Jiang Yiyi: "After all, there are far more important things in the world than those."
This sentence sounded fine. Jiang Yiyi retracted his gaze and asked casually, "Something more important?"
"Loyalty." Lin Yi strolled to the closed room, and his curious look was no different from before, although the words he said were like thunder out of the blue.
“There is a new world.”
What? Jiang Yiyi was puzzled by these two words that had no connection at all, and asked Lin Yi for confirmation: "New world?"
"Doctor, can I open the door and take a look?" Lin Yi pointed at the door in front of him: "I always feel that it is very strange."
You're much weirder than that.
Jiang Yiyi, who knew what was behind the door, nodded and agreed to his request.
With permission, Lin Yi pushed open the door and faced a room full of brand new medical equipment.
Jiang Yiyi clearly heard him gasp, and like any ordinary person who was shocked by this, he had an incredible expression - but it was so inconsistent with his previous behavior that the other party's reaction at this moment became unbelievable.
But in fact, if it was Lin Yi - although most people would always be confused by Lin Yi's performance, subconsciously thinking that he was shallow, ignorant and incompetent - but if they remembered the profession he had been engaged in, they should be clear about the gap between him and shallowness and ignorance.
It's just that this former multi-spy is so good at disguising himself that people are subconsciously deceived by his appearances.
"Xingyu always crosses the line." Putting these things within the doctor's reach is extremely irresponsible.
Jiang Yiyi was not interested in Xingyu's bottom line. He reminded Lin Yi: "Answer my question."
Lin Yi was only shocked for a very short time. After hearing Jiang Yiyi's words, he reached out to close the door again and sat back in front of Jiang Yiyi.
"I believe it." He pursed his lips and smiled shyly again: "If a new world is going to appear, only doctors can do it."
Sure enough, his mental state was very abnormal.
Lin Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with his mental state. On the contrary, he felt that his mental state had never been so normal—no anxiety, no loss of control, no pressure, no burden, and he was in better condition than most people in the world.
"It doesn't matter whether the Star Alliance is bad or not. Because in front of the new world, everything will be on track and move in a better direction."
Lin Yi is an idealist, and this has never changed from the beginning to now.
He once longed to protect the Star Alliance, to keep everything on the normal track, and to ensure that the Star Alliance, which was in a troubled time, could still shine brightly in the universe even in the midst of storms.
Trying to protect the world by one's own strength - that's why he is called an idealist.
Idealists are often difficult to change and extremely stubborn. Their ideals transcend the weight of life and give them the courage to face death calmly - this is their shortcoming, and at times, it will also turn into their weakness.
For example, when he confirms that his ideal can be realized in another way, his position changes in an instant.
But for Jiang Yiyi, he only had one doubt.
“What I’m asking is, what is the new world?”
Lin Yi winked at Jiang Yiyi: "I will keep this secret for you."
You call something you don't even know a "secret kept for me"
"I sincerely hope that you will end all this, leave the prison that shackles you, and go to a new world."
The professor's words suddenly emerged in Jiang Yiyi's mind, and the last three words suddenly became prominent.
The professor had hinted to him that this meant the "new world" was not insignificant.
Jiang Yiyi recalled the memories related to Lin Yi and eliminated all impossibilities. There was only one answer - the only existence beyond Jiang Yiyi's control.
Jiang Yiyi's gaze fell on the character panel at the side. The words "Psychology (Hall of Fame)" were located in the first column of skills, followed by "Dissection and Reconstruction (Hall of Fame)".
The latter is the Professor's ability—or rather, the ability he gained by playing the Professor's hidden ending.
So whose ability is the former - or, who can be sure that he only got a hidden ending last week
Jiang Yiyi is still unsure of the specific effect of the psychology skill—because it is almost omnipotent.
Then could it be related to the "new world" that suddenly popped up from Lin Yi's mouth
Which person could have this ability, which is far stronger than that of the professor
Without much thought, Jiang Yiyi turned her head and looked in another direction - the direction of room 1-001.
He has never met the other party, nor has he heard any information about the 1-001 ability user from anyone.
Could it be him? This mysterious being
Will he be the answer to all problems? Or will he be the key to change everything
Jiang Yiyi rarely feels confused—because he can get the answers directly from the details.
Just like at this moment, almost the next second after he began to doubt, those obvious conclusions came to Jiang Yiyi one after another.
Just as Jiang Yiyi had told the professor before, most of the time, Jiang Yiyi put those unimportant little issues aside.
"The fact that I put it aside means that it cannot pose any threat to me at all."
However, for Jiang Yiyi, there is currently a simpler way to confirm what this so-called "new world" means.
Jiang Yiyi turned her gaze towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had no reason to refuse the answer: "A new world where everyone can become a person with special abilities, a new world where everyone can surpass human limits and reach the other side of special abilities."
"Do you think this is a better world?" Jiang Yiyi expressed doubt.
Almost as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, he quickly realized the bleak future that this so-called new world represented.
"If everyone has abilities, order will only get further out of control." Jiang Yiyi said firmly: "This is not a good thing. Inflated abilities and backward constraints will only lead to self-destruction."
"So, we need an orderly new world." Lin Yi stared at Jiang Yiyi, with a shy smile that Jiang Yiyi was familiar with on his face: "An ideal new world."
“Only you can bring it.” Lin Yi’s voice gradually became softer, as if he was afraid that if he spoke a little louder, he would wake up something that shouldn’t be awakened: “A new world.”
"As far as I know." Jiang Yiyi clasped her hands together and looked at Lin Yi: "I have never told you this."
Where did Lin Yi get such accurate information and such firm ideas
Lin Yi never showed any surprise when answering Jiang Yiyi's questions. It was as if in his eyes, it was natural for Jiang Yiyi to ask these questions, and there was no logical contradiction or conflict in his character.
"Because I know doctors." Having said that, Lin Yi slightly turned his head to look at the door.
Jiang Yiyi's gaze also fell on the door.
The next second, there was a dull knock on the door.
Lin Yi looked away, pretending he hadn't heard anything, and said with a smile: "I will take care of those little problems for the doctor..."
"Don't do unnecessary things." Jiang Yiyi interrupted him. He admired people who were willing to die for a noble purpose, but that didn't mean he admired people who let others die for a noble purpose.
"Before I get disappointed in you."
The knocking on the door never stopped, sounding rhythmically.
Jiang Yiyi glanced at the closed door again: "Maintain the only thing about you that I admire."
"Although it's a little difficult," Lin Yi stood up and walked towards the door: "But I will try my best."
He swiped his card to open the door, glanced at the acquaintance standing at the door, revealed a distressed expression, and his tone instantly changed from calm to helpless: "Magician? What's the matter?"
"Obviously." The magician glanced at the burdensome Lin Yi, then looked past him at Jiang Yiyi who was sitting on the sofa: "Doctor, can we talk?"
"Lin Yi, go check on Jian Si." Jiang Yiyi casually arranged for Lin Yi: "If the situation is really bad..."
Thinking of Lin Yi's words "deal with the little trouble", Jiang Yiyi became interested: "Just help me deal with it."
If it can be dealt with.
"Doctor." The magician raised his voice to remind the other party that he was still there.
Lin Yi curled his lips at the magician, dodged the magician sideways, and left the room.
"Doctor," the magician glanced at his departing back, then turned to look at Jiang Yiyi: "That's not something you would say."
"Then what would I say?" Jiang Yiyi gestured to the sofa opposite him: "If the situation is very bad, help them?"
The magician hesitated for a second, but still closed the door - the sound insulation between the corridor and the room was ineffective, but after closing the door, the sound insulation between the rooms was still guaranteed.
After all, here, there is no privacy at all, which is too dangerous.
"After all, the doctor is a good person." The magician sat down opposite Jiang Yiyi and cautiously threw out the first test.
After talking to the strange Lin Yi, talking to the magician was a little fun way to relieve stress.
Jiang Yiyi's mood improved a bit, and he was interested in teasing the magician: "So, this is the result of your judgment?"
Using rhetorical questions instead of answering is an extremely effective way to take the initiative.
"Are you a doctor?" The magician also asked back.
Jiang Yiyi nodded and said, "I have told you this before, so there is no doubt that I am."
Jiang Yiyi took a step back, but the magician did not feel the joy of victory at all. On the contrary, the fact of being alone with Jiang Yiyi was enough to make him feel stressed.
"If that's the case, why did the doctor say that to Lin Yi?"
"Because I never break a promise." Jiang Yiyi looked at him calmly: "Jian Si and I have made a promise."
Make an appointment with the doctor... I didn't expect Jiansi to be so brave
Completely unaware that Jian Si was making a choice between life and death, the magician looked at Jian Si with admiration and continued to ask: "So, for doctors, keeping their promises takes precedence over being a good person?"
"No, the two never conflict." Jiang Yiyi looked at him calmly: "Because he won't die."
Although he didn't know why the doctor was so sure, the magician really didn't think that Jian Si would not die.
Thinking of this, the magician paused. Because all his attention was focused on Jiang Yiyi, the magician did not pay attention to Jian Si's situation. But since there was no news, she was probably still alive... right
"I really want to know how the doctor determined this, but instead of talking about Jane Si, let's talk about the professor." The magician, who had no idea what he had missed, naturally brought the topic back to the purpose of his visit.
"I want to know, why did the professor commit suicide?"
"Maybe because he has to die?"
The magician paused and said, "Because you met with the doctor?"
Jiang Yiyi thought for a few seconds: "If you understand it this way, it's not wrong." Because he met Jiang Yiyi, he lost the meaning of continuing to exist, so he had to die.
"So, the doctor killed him?"
"I don't kill people."
The magician paused for two seconds and said, "What are those people who died because of doctors to doctors?"
Jiang Yiyi looked at the magician, once again.
"You want to know the answer?"
The magician nodded: "I am very curious about the answer to this question."
“No one died because of me.”
The magician asked reflexively: "Lone wolf?"
“He chose death.”
"The prisoner?"
"He chose revenge."
The magician paused and found the answer from Jiang Yiyi's answer: "The doctor's ability is..."
He looked at Jiang Yiyi.
"Amplify? Induce? Others' deepest desires?"
“It sounds interesting.” But it’s too limited and underestimates the skill of psychology.
Jiang Yiyi smiled at the magician: "But I said, I'm not a person with special abilities."
There was a tiny light at the end of Jiang Yiyi's dark eyes. The magician looked at the light inquiringly: "But everyone knows that this is impossible."
Magic: "I don't understand why the doctor would deny it."
What is the end of light
Jiang Yiyi: "Because I'm definitely not a person with special abilities."
Magician: "The new humans are of great significance to Xingyu."
It’s almost the end of this beam of light…
"People with special abilities cannot be copied or chosen, and they carry strong side effects. If there are other beings..." The magician's heartbeat slowly accelerated unconsciously: "Maybe they can save the Star Alliance."
"Ding—" a soft sound suddenly rang out, followed by a flashing red light.
Jiang Yiyi leaned back, keeping a distance from the magician, and stared at the whole set of flashing red lights on his body, from the communicator on his ear to the unknown device on his heart, to the unknown devices on his waist and legs - before they lit up, these tiny devices would not even be noticeable to others.
The magician didn't seem to hear the sound, nor did he notice the flashing red light. He spoke faster and said, "The situation of the Star Prison is not good. Of course, its situation has always been bad, but recently, they have been too active."
"This gives me a bad feeling." He said in a heavy tone.
"Doctor, maybe you can tell me..." He looked at Jiang Yiyi, stared into her eyes and said, "What should we do?"
"Why do you think I can tell you the answer?"
There is no doubt that the magician's current abnormality is related to this skill.
Skills are getting out of control—or, they’re upgrading.
Of course, it is also possible that the magician crossed the line, causing this skill to take effect.
Who is the master of this skill? Jiang Yiyi once again showed some curiosity about the other party.
With one skill so powerful, could this be the ultimate boss of this game
"Because you are a doctor..." The magician muttered to himself: "You..."
There was a noise at the door and the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.
The gatekeeper looked around the room with a sullen face, walked into the room in two or three steps, and pulled up the magician who was glowing red. The magician was about to move, but when he saw it was the gatekeeper, he suppressed his body's instinctive reaction.
The gatekeeper's hand gently squeezed the back of his neck, and the magician fell into coma instantly.
"Doc, you've crossed the line."
"I didn't do anything." Jiang Yiyi, who really did nothing, said calmly: "Instead of blaming me, you should blame your people."
"I reminded you, twice."
"You can't push your luck just because I'm so easy to talk to."
Jiang Yiyi warned the other party calmly: "If I really want to do something..." The other party had no chance to stop her at all.
The gatekeeper interrupted him: "Doctor, what you mean is that you can't control your own abilities?"
“It’s dangerous.”
Jiang Yiyi agreed with him: "For you, it is true."
"However, loss of control is not uncommon, and we have our own methods." The gatekeeper pulled the unconscious magician and made a formal invitation: "The doctor has not been to the North District, right?"
"Maybe there's something there that can help the doctor end his out-of-control situation."
"Is this why the magician suddenly crossed the line and had an in-depth conversation with me?" Jiang Yiyi came up with the correct answer: "He disagrees with your proposal? Why?"
The gatekeeper's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he had no intention of having a long conversation with Jiang Yiyi - the example of the magician was before him, and Jiang Yiyi's previous warning was still ringing in his ears. The longer he was in contact with the doctor, the greater the danger or impact he would face.
"Maybe he felt it was too dangerous for doctors there."
Jiang Yiyi raised his eyebrows, and the gatekeeper pulled the magician towards the door.
"In view of the situation just now, the magician will not appear in front of the doctor again until it is safe." The gatekeeper stopped at the door and looked at Jiang Yiyi from a distance: "In view of the professor's death, Lin Yi's permission to enter other cells will be locked for a short period of time."
In other words, he restricted Jiang Yiyi's contact with other people.
"So, instead of staying in the boring interior, why don't the doctor go to the North District?"
Jiang Yiyi: "The instructor's thoughts change a little quickly."
Gatekeeper: “It’s the doctor’s behavior that’s changing fast.”
The gatekeeper gave a final warning: "The professor is not someone who can die easily."
Jiang Yiyi got the answer to the previous question, what was the purpose the professor wanted to achieve with his death - the North District.
The gatekeeper swiped his card and closed the door of 1-002.
The door blocked Jiang Yiyi's calm expression, as well as her strong sense of uneasiness.
The gatekeeper turned his head to glance at the magician who was held in his hands. After he fell unconscious, the red light flashing on the magician's body gradually dimmed, and he was not as urgent as before.
[Look what I heard, that guy is going to the North Side.]
Behind a door, someone turned his head and looked in the direction of 1-002.
[Want to join in the fun? I can’t wait to meet him.]
Behind the other door, someone suddenly laughed.
[The person who killed the professor, I really want to see what he looks like.]
[I want to collect him, I must collect him! ]
[North District, that guy is also in the North District, interesting, really interesting.]
Behind countless silent doors, countless thoughts arising from this conversation were floating like the tide.
Only in 1-007, the Grim Reaper laughed suddenly again.
At first the laughter was suppressed very quietly, but soon it became extremely loud, spreading through the door and walls, and into the corridor, arrogantly showing its presence.
The author has something to say: Lin Yi thought calmly that he shouldn't have asked this question from the beginning.
The doctor had already taught him what to do.
One thing that needs to be reminded is that as Lin Yi, who has followed Jiang Yiyi from the first level to the lowest level, he is the person who has been with Jiang Yiyi the longest and has been most influenced by Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi looked at Lin Yi and suspected that his mental state was not normal - of course this suspicion never disappeared. In Jiang Yiyi's eyes, Lin Yi's mental state had always been very bad.
Just click on this sentence. In Jiang Yiyi's eyes, Lin Yi's mental state has never been better. This appeared in more than ten chapters, about the conversation in which Jiang Yiyi asked Lin Yi to see a doctor.
————
Jiang Yiyi: "The instructor's thoughts change a little quickly."
Gatekeeper: “It’s the doctor’s behavior that’s changing fast.”
The gatekeeper is not qualified to make this decision. Whether it is the special rights that were previously given to Jiang Yiyi to contact other prisoners, or the re-restriction of Jiang Yiyi's special rights to contact other prisoners now, these are not decisions that the gatekeeper can make.
Only one person has this right, so Jiang Yiyi's mentor's ideas change quickly.
The gatekeeper's answer showed that it was not just the instructor's thoughts that changed quickly, the main reason was the professor's death.
————
The words in brackets are the thoughts of those people with special abilities after they overheard this conversation, not the dialogue.
As for why they could hear those words - the gatekeeper did not close the door the entire time he appeared in front of Jiang Yiyi, and the conversation that took place in the corridor was no secret to them.
————
If any readers are still curious about what happened to the magician, it is described in the article.
He looked at Jiang Yiyi.
There was a tiny ball of light at the end of Jiang Yiyi's dark eyes, and the magician looked at the light in inquiry.
What is the end of light
It’s almost the end of this beam of light…
There is no doubt that the magician's current abnormality is related to this skill.
Skills are getting out of control—or, they’re upgrading.
Of course, it is also possible that the magician crossed the line, causing this skill to take effect.
