North District.
Jiang Yiyi walked into the North District. Although there was no movement, Jiang Yiyi still turned her head to look behind her as if she was aware of something—she saw the wooden door disappear out of thin air.
The wooden door faded from the air, revealing the scenery behind it, extending to another desolate area in the northern district.
For the first time, Jiang Yiyi felt the reality of entering the interstellar age.
He withdrew his gaze and looked towards the place where the person had just stood, but there was no one in his sight.
"Are you looking for me?" A voice came from nearby: "Here."
Jiang Yiyi turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from - that is, next to him. The man with the brim of his hat pulled down very low was standing one step away and gave him a bright smile.
Jiang Yiyi glanced at the other party's previous position, and then glanced at the other party's current position, and had a very clear first impression of the North District—super strong.
His gaze paused on the other person, and he didn't mind that the brim of the hat covered the upper half of the other person's face - the two anatomical drawings were completely useless anyway.
He didn't see the other person's nickname, but he saw the red mark "high risk" - he could get within one meter of Jiang Yiyi quietly, but it was just high risk
He could get within one meter of Jiang Yiyi without being discovered by her, which meant that the other party could kill Jiang Yiyi instantly at that moment.
Not being good at fighting is really a disadvantage in Star Prison.
Jiang Yiyi, who knew nothing about fighting, had this epiphany.
"Did the doctor find anything?" The other party pressed down the brim of his hat, not caring about the brief silence, and started the conversation again: "He has been staring at me with eyes that want to dissect me from the inside out."
"I can see that you are very strong." Jiang Yiyi pointed at his hat and said, "But your hat completely blocks your vision, right?"
"If this is considered strong, then the doctor must have been misled by the strength of the prison guards on the previous floors."
"On the sixth floor, I'm just okay."
It's just okay... Does this mean that all the prison guards on the sixth floor can kill me in seconds based on their fighting power
Jiang Yiyi glanced at her thin body and once again felt regretful that she had no fighting skills.
The man lifted his hat slightly, revealing a pair of sunglasses made of unknown material. "These glasses have thermal imaging capabilities, doctor, don't worry that I can't see."
As he spoke, he tilted his head and showed Jiang Yiyi the small black earplug in his ear.
"And this... can convey the doctor's words in real time, so the doctor doesn't have to worry about me not being able to hear."
He tapped his nose and throat: "There are some small devices here to ensure that the five senses function normally."
The other person doesn't look like a disabled person, or to be more precise, these small devices, while hindering the five senses, also play a role in ensuring their normal functioning.
For example, sunglasses blocked the other person's vision, and at the same time ensured in an absolute manner that he and Jiang Yiyi could not look at each other.
There are also earplugs, which hinder the other party's hearing and also have the effect of prohibiting the reception of Jiang Yiyi's voice.
Jiang Yiyi instantly understood why the other party had to bring these cumbersome and unnecessary auxiliary equipment.
"It's really amazing..." Jiang Yiyi thought about the words: "Caution."
"This is not our normal practice." The man pulled his hat down again to cover most of his face: "It's just that the doctor's situation is special..."
He tilted his head, pondered his words for a few seconds, and then gave up - after all, everyone knew the situation, and hypocritical dialogue had no meaning other than covering up the truth.
"Forget it, I'll just say it straight. Since we don't know the medium in which the doctor's ability works, and the doctor's information is not yet complete, we have to make as much preparation as possible."
He looked at Jiang Yiyi: "After all, the doctor is still in the state of "out of control of his abilities."
He took two steps forward, motioning Jiang Yiyi to follow him, and said as he walked, "I'm the person in charge of all your affairs in the North District from now on, little guy."
Short guy…
Jiang Yiyi subconsciously looked at the other person's height. It was normal, not tall, but definitely not short either. If it weren't for this nickname, no one would even notice his height.
So, why does the other party have this nickname
"Don't think too much." The little man walked in front, and seemed to know what Jiang Yiyi was thinking: "This nickname has no meaning."
He turned his head and smiled at Jiang Yiyi again: "After all, the nickname itself contains a lot of information."
And you say caution is not the norm
Even the nicknames were deliberately stripped of personal characteristics, which was so cautious that it was amazing.
"It's like this. Most of the prisoners here are out of control to some extent." The little man took Jiang Yiyi closer to the colorful buildings and introduced them to him: "So, rather than saying this is a prison, it's better to say it's a hospital..."
He glanced at Jiang Yiyi who showed no reaction: "Of course it's not a cold hospital, but a warm hospital that heals wounded hearts."
Jiang Yiyi looked at the building whose true appearance was gradually revealed.
Just as the other party had said, these buildings were extremely abrupt in both appearance and color, completely different from the depressing and gloomy dark tones of the previous floors, and could even be described as bright and sunny.
Not seeing any surveillance footage, Jiang Yiyi looked around. Judging from the appearance, the interior layout of these buildings seemed to be different from that of the upper floors.
The little man kept walking, leading Jiang Yiyi past the first few buildings and continuing forward.
Jiang Yiyi saw some people on the roadside, including prison guards with their hat brims pulled down very low and bored prisoners.
The prisoners were scattered in different areas, enjoying the artificial sunlight and fresh air, and doing various exercises. No one looked at Jiang Yiyi and the others.
"By the way, this reaction doesn't mean they don't welcome you," the little man followed Jiang Yiyi's gaze and explained, "That's a one-way activity area. It will isolate images that may cause them stimulation and control the surrounding scenery within a comfortable range."
Jiang Yiyi was surprised by the future technology: "Is this effective?"
"In fact, the effect is quite good." The little man smiled at Jiang Yiyi and said, "After all, whether it is a person with special abilities or a human being, they all need a certain amount of freedom."
Regardless of whether they are people with special abilities or humans...
This statement itself excludes people with special abilities from being human.
Jiang Yiyi obtained the information calmly and focused his attention on the building at the end of the road.
"Because of the doctor's special situation, so..." The little man spread his hands: "The doctor's treatment will be even more special."
He looked at the abrupt building at the end of the road and said, "I'll take the doctor to see someone first."
Jiang Yiyi looked forward: "A person who lives there?"
There - the building at the end of the road is almost the tallest of all the buildings here. The pointed top of the tower pierces the sky, and the building itself stands straight up, gradually tightening from bottom to top, just like the legendary wizard tower.
The shape is close to a triangle, and it is visibly wasted a lot of usable space. It doesn't even look like it can accommodate many people.
"Yes." The little man looked up at the building and said softly, "He is the only one living here."
Jiang Yiyi quickly concluded: "1-001?"
"The doctor lives up to his reputation." The little man stopped, swiped his card to open the door, took a deep breath and continued, "He has been out of control for some time, and his condition has not improved."
The doors at the bottom of the building opened, revealing the cold tones of the interior.
Unlike the bright and lively colors on the building's exterior, the colors inside the building were very cold and hard. Just like what they saw from the outside, this was a cylindrical space. When they pushed open the door, they saw a vast hall, and in the middle of the hall there was a winding staircase.
Jiang Yiyi looked up at the sky. The stairs spiraled up from the first floor all the way to the top floor. The top floor was so high that the stairs looked extremely magnificent with countless floors spiraling up.
Jiang Yiyi finally understood what it meant to only have that person living with you.
This is not a prison cell, but an entire prison building prepared for the other party.
Jiang Yiyi looked around. The equipment here was almost complete, but there was no sign of having been used. It gave off a cold, empty and brand new feeling.
"Take me to see him?" Jiang Yiyi had some guesses, but still asked the question: "Why?"
"Because the doctor has to move in too." The little man walked up the spiral staircase: "He has to meet the original owner of this place."
Jiang Yiyi followed his steps: "He doesn't care?" Suddenly having a neighbor, no matter if he is a madman or a normal person, no one would be happy, right
"So let the doctor see him."
"Then how are you sure I don't care?" Jiang Yiyi smiled and said, "I look like I have a good temper?"
The little man walked slowly and explained, "I thought the doctor would like this arrangement." He walked on the spiral staircase, lowered his hat and said, "Isn't this what the doctor wants to know?"
But the thing is…
“This looks dangerous.”
"Would the doctor mind the slightest risk involved?" The little man stopped in front of the last step on the top floor.
They stood at the top of the spiral staircase, looked down, and had a panoramic view of everything below - it gave people an irresistible illusion that they were about to fall.
"Is it my illusion?" Jiang Yiyi did not lower his head. Instead, he looked up at the top floor. There was no human figure behind the empty corridor and several closed doors.
"Are you trying to make me angry?"
Different from the emptiness seen by the naked eye, Jiang Yiyi sensed some kind of gaze from the top floor.
The little man shrugged, took the last step, and stepped into the topmost area: "Bai Cang, someone wants to see you."
Bai Cang? No nickname? Or is this the nickname
The little man waited for a few minutes and got no response. He turned sideways and said to Jiang Yiyi, "Doctor, go straight to the end of the corridor."
I was so cautious that I only dared to go to the entrance on the top floor.
Jiang Yiyi paused for two seconds, smiled and shook her head, then walked past him.
It’s really boring to argue with the short guy about this matter compared to going to meet 1-001, who might be the owner of another skill on Jiang Yiyi’s skill panel.
not to mention…
Jiang Yiyi walked into the corridor and glanced at the figure standing behind her.
Who isn't trying to survive
The little man watched the other person walk into the corridor, gently wiped the slight moisture from his palms, and calmly pressed the notification button for successful mission.
He is worthy of being the doctor who can render the fifth floor helpless. His mere presence can give him endless pressure.
Jiang Yiyi walked to the end of the corridor, stopped at the door of the last room, and knocked on the door.
There was no sound in the room, it was so quiet as if no one was there.
But Jiang Yiyi could clearly sense the presence of another person, and there was no doubt that the other person was watching him at this moment.
Almost at the moment he stepped into the corridor, the moment Jiang Yiyi noticed the other party's gaze, Jiang Yiyi couldn't suppress the excitement—he smelled a familiar smell, death, blood, and heavy shadows, spread everywhere here, eager to show its presence.
It is an existence that will make others feel uncomfortable or even have difficulty breathing.
But for some people, it is something extremely familiar, so familiar that it seems like a silent greeting from a fellow human being.
Jiang Yiyi waited for a few minutes, but didn't hear another person's voice, so she reached out and opened the door.
There was no lock on the room - of course, locking it would be an unnecessary thing for the other party.
But the scene behind the door was somewhat beyond Jiang Yiyi's expectations.
He raised his head and glanced at the man standing behind the door—his tall stature made him seem quite oppressive at such a close distance.
Jiang Yiyi stood at the door and he stood behind the door.
The door separated them, and after it disappeared, the distance between them seemed too close - especially when they could clearly sense the familiar sense of danger in each other.
Such a close distance is too dangerous for them.
But no one stepped back.
Jiang Yiyi did not retreat because according to his fighting strength, there was no difference between taking a step back and not retreating.
As for why the other party did not retreat, it was probably because he had no need to retreat.
"Bai Cang?"
Jiang Yiyi looked at the other person calmly. It was not surprising at all that the other person was a special NPC.
His facial features are extremely superior and without any flaws, as if they come with a layer of filter, making him shine in this ordinary world - no matter what type of handsome guy you appreciate, you can appreciate the beauty of his appearance.
Jian Si and the other person are two completely different types. The former is breathtaking, while the latter is suffocating.
When ordinary people see Jian Si, it is difficult for them to control their reaction when they are suddenly illuminated by the holy light, and they subconsciously hold their breath.
When ordinary people see each other, they will only be oppressed by the overly strong aura of the other party, just like vegetarians encountering predators. The natural food chain suppresses them, making them completely forget to observe the appearance of the predator while struggling to survive.
But Jiang Yiyi is not a vegetarian, nor is he at the bottom of the food chain, so he can still look at the other person calmly.
Bai Cang didn't say anything. He looked at Jiang Yiyi calmly.
It's like a predator meeting another in the wild, assessing the opponent's weaknesses and attack points, waiting for who to reveal a flaw first, and then delivering a fatal blow.
The frozen standoff lasted for a few minutes and was broken by Jiang Yiyi.
"If you don't mind, we..."
Change happens in an instant.
The other party suddenly raised his hand without any warning and went straight for Jiang Yiyi's throat. As he moved, an extremely sharp sound of wind was heard in the air. His movements were extremely fast and unpretentious, so simple that people could not resist.
His other hand was not without movement either.
On the contrary, almost at the same time, his other hand had already counterattacked Jiang Yiyi's hand - this should have been a natural step to subdue the other party - if the other party wanted to resist.
But Jiang Yiyi's lack of reaction made this step seem a little redundant.
The moment the sound of wind was heard and Jiang Yiyi blinked, everything was settled.
The other party firmly grasped Jiang Yiyi's neck with one hand, and with the other hand, he twisted Jiang Yiyi's hands behind her back. He slightly bent his left foot and placed it on Jiang Yiyi's left knee, forcing Jiang Yiyi to half-kneel on the ground. It can be said that he completely suppressed any possible resistance from Jiang Yiyi.
This action was a little unfriendly to Jiang Yiyi - but compared to the murderous intent that was so close, this little bit of unfriendliness didn't seem to matter so much.
Every move the opponent made was to subdue Jiang Yiyi, but the final posture, excluding the murderous intent... was almost like a semi-forced hug.
Jiang Yiyi glanced at the hand on her neck and tilted her head slightly. The strength on the hand immediately increased and she felt uncomfortable breathing.
Jiang Yiyi stopped and no longer tried to look at the silent man behind her.
"Since you didn't break my neck right away, that at least proves that you don't want to kill me..." Jiang Yiyi looked at her own posture: "What are you going to do next?"
The murderous intent at hand did not move Jiang Yiyi, nor did he care about the completely restrained resistance - from the moment the opponent did not kill him at the first opportunity, he had already lost.
Jiang Yiyi paused for two seconds and erased her overly confident thoughts.
Although the opponent's extraordinary fighting power could easily lead people to misunderstand that this was his ability, in fact, the opponent's ability had not been revealed at all - in other words, what Jiang Yiyi saw was the opponent's own strength, and the real reason why he was so intimidating and even placed alone in a building had not yet been revealed to Jiang Yiyi.
"Spoils of war." The other party uttered these three words in a dull voice, and in this posture, dragged Jiang Yiyi into his room—he even remembered to close the door.
"How do you usually deal with your spoils?" Jiang Yiyi asked as he looked around the room.
The room was fully equipped and in perfect order, just like a normal person's bedroom; even the quilt was folded.
The fluffy carpet covers the entire room, reducing the discomfort of being dragged.
"I don't need spoils." The other party stopped and looked around the room, as if looking for something.
"So?" Jiang Yiyi guessed with interest, "I am special?"
The other person stopped looking around and dragged Jiang Yiyi towards the foot of the bed.
"Can I ask what's so special about it?"
The other party stopped at the foot of the bed. He looked at the foot of the bed and was a little distracted: "You are too weak."
The other party reached out and picked up something, and Jiang Yiyi heard some sounds of metal colliding.
Apparently he was aware enough of Jiang Yiyi's fighting power - loosening his hand allowed Jiang Yiyi to regain his freedom, although it was of no use to Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi turned her head slightly and glanced at the man behind her.
To be honest, the other party's situation was somewhat beyond his expectations. Rather than being a madman, it would be better to say that he was dominated by instinct. Jiang Yiyi has always believed that a beast dominated by instinct is far inferior to a person with some rationality left.
Wild beasts are easy to subdue, but madmen like the professor are often extremely destructive and difficult to subdue.
But this guy 1-001 really seems to be just a beast that acts on instinct.
This made Jiang Yiyi a little confused - why was the other party 1-001, but the professor was only 1-003.
The sound of metal collision gradually approached, and the other party reached out and grabbed Jiang Yiyi's leg, and put the thing in his hand on his foot.
Jiang Yiyi reached out and patted his shoulder, and the moment his hand fell, the other party grabbed his hand with his backhand.
Although he is dominated by instinct, this guy's fighting power should not be underestimated.
Jiang Yiyi glanced at the extremely dangerous sign floating above the other person's head.
"I don't like this." Jiang Yiyi stared at the other person and said softly, "Of course, I don't like your attitude even more."
The other person's pupils were extremely light in color, with a hint of light gray, like some inorganic movements, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Their eyes met, and the other person was slightly stunned, then blinked and casually brushed something off.
He repeated as if to emphasize something: "You are too weak."
After saying that, he continued to fiddle with the things in his hands.
A sharp edge flashed at Jiang Yiyi's fingertips.
The other party stopped, looked at the thing in his hand, reached out, took it from Jiang Yiyi's hand nonchalantly, and then continued to fiddle with the thing in his hand with his head down.
Jiang Yiyi looked at her empty hands, then at the other party's nonchalant look, and finally at her own skills.
The other party's behavior gave him the illusion that he was just an ordinary person.
But the unchanging text on the skill panel easily breaks this illusion.
It’s not that he is an ordinary person, but that the other party is so strong that Jiang Yiyi becomes an ordinary person in front of him.
A guy who is completely unaffected by psychology skills
Ordinary people may experience many negative emotions and even doubt themselves after their reliance is completely denied.
But after Jiang Yiyi confirmed this, she just tilted her head slightly, thought for two seconds, and then reached out and held Bai Cang's hand.
Bai Cang stopped and looked at Jiang Yiyi who was "too weak".
"I don't like this." Jiang Yiyi repeated again.
The other party repeated it again: "You are too weak."
"I don't think so." Jiang Yiyi stared at the other person and calmly analyzed his psychology: "You just said that I was a trophy, but from the way you repeatedly emphasized that I was too weak, your definition of a trophy is different from that of ordinary people."
Bai Cang pulled his hand out of Jiang Yiyi's hand and finally opened the chain on his hand.
"It's not a food reserve, nor a powerful ornamental item to show off, but..."
Jiang Yiyi reached out and held the other person's hand again.
The words the professor once said floated through his mind.
"I am not powerful because I have extraordinary abilities. Remember, neither are you."
He glanced at another inconspicuous skill in the skill panel: "Dissection and Reconstruction" - the professor was right.
"But your..." Jiang Yiyi said calmly: "Companion."
His abilities were ineffective, his force was no longer a threat, so apart from these, what else did he have
The answer is simple. Jiang Yiyi looked at Bai Cang and smiled slightly.
They are never powerful because of their abilities that exceed human limits - true power is never due to external things.
However, he forgot one thing: for wild beasts that act on instinct, language is the most useless thing.
"Companion?" Bai Cang thought about the meaning of this word for a second. His mental state was obviously bad, so he quickly put aside the doubts that he could not find the answer to.
"Too weak." He repeated again, and lowered his head to start fiddling with the chains on his hands.
"That's your illusion." Jiang Yiyi calmly held his hand again.
"too weak."
The edge appeared for a moment, and was crushed in the next second.
Jiang Yiyi's outstretched hand stopped in the air, staring at the blade that was crushed by the opponent - she knew exactly the opponent's fighting strength.
Bai Cang stared at the broken pieces of the blade for a few seconds, stood up, threw it into the trash can, then returned to Jiang Yiyi and continued to try to put the chain on Jiang Yiyi's feet.
A guy who was dominated by instinct and in a half-crazy state actually remembered not to litter everywhere? - That means he has too good a character.
Jiang Yiyi skillfully reached out and stopped Bai Cang's hand again, repeating: "I don't like it."
"too weak."
Bai Cang stretched out his hand, but Jiang Yiyi stopped him.
"I do not like."
"too weak."
Bai Cang reached out his hand again, and Jiang Yiyi stopped him again.
…
This process was repeated for a long time.
The author has something to say: "That is a one-way activity area, which will isolate images that may cause them stimulation and control the surrounding scenery within a comfortable range." - In other words, although Jiang Yiyi saw the prisoners and prison guards, Jiang Yiyi and his friends were not visible to the prisoners and prison guards.
————
Also, to avoid readers having some illusion in this chapter, I must emphasize it again - the protagonist is the strongest in the whole article, the strongest in every sense of the word.
There is a reason why Bai Cang thinks "he is too weak".
Please read on patiently.
Please do not make your own conclusions about the plot and characters before Bai Cang's story unfolds.

I think everyone has misunderstood something in my speech in the previous chapter.
And the shy Lin Yi is the only truth among countless lies.
It's not that he's shy, what I mean is that the things he says when he shows his shyness are the parts that are not disguised.
