The dim light came on a little, illuminating the small room. The empty room seemed a little crowded after four adult men were crammed in at once.
Bai Cang stood behind the door, closed it, leaned against the wall behind him and watched quietly.
The gatekeeper glanced at the only chair in the room and stood there silently, not moving.
Lin Yi sat back on the bed obediently. Jiang Yiyi sat on the chair and started the conversation.
"So, what happened?"
Lin Yi glanced at the gatekeeper, who remained silent.
Lin Yi objectively and briefly recounted the situation: "The bewitcher is dead. He committed suicide."
Jiang Yiyi recalled her memories and picked out the key points from the conversation that Lin Yi had reported before: "The person with the ability who had a conflict with you?"
"The gatekeepers suspected that I was the one who did it..."
Lin Yi's words were interrupted.
Jiang Yiyi raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yi: "Did you do this?"
An unexpected way of getting along.
Bai Cang leaned against the wall, moved his fingers, but then suppressed the impulse in an instant - it was not surprising that Jiang Yiyi was the leader, but what was surprising was the other party's loyalty.
Absolute loyalty.
Bai Cang's gaze stayed on Jiang Yiyi, and he moved his fingers again—some impulse urged him to do something to declare that this extremely dazzling existence in front of him belonged to him.
There was no need to elaborate on the special charm that Jiang Yiyi possessed to them. It was just that the casual strength that she revealed at this moment - which came from her confidence in the loyalty of her followers - was like a small spark that suddenly blossomed into countless stars.
Too dazzling.
The suppressed emotions flowed through his blood throughout his body, causing him to tremble slightly.
Strong murderous aura and pressure surged up together, the feeling of needles on the back instantly intensified, Jiang Yiyi turned her head and glanced at Bai Cang.
The eyes met and then separated, and the calm sea showed no signs of getting out of control.
Jiang Yiyi withdrew his gaze, and Bai Cang lowered his head to hide the smile that kept growing on his lips.
At that moment, he completely understood why the professor was so rational and yet so crazy.
I once fell into the abyss and glimpsed the scenery deep in the abyss. Everything in the world was eclipsed.
Lin Yi carefully reviewed what he had done that day and finally concluded: "I'm not sure."
Jiang Yiyi withdrew her gaze and did not take the brief eye contact to heart - this was not uncommon for Bai Cang. Whether it was sudden excitement or sudden calmness, after all, although it was not obvious, this guy was indeed a person with an abnormal mental state.
Jiang Yiyi looked at Lin Yi: "Not sure?"
"I didn't notice anything unusual, either when I was in contact with the other party or now."
Lin Yi was not as silent as he was before when facing Xingyu. He took the initiative to tell Jiang Yiyi in detail about his feelings: "My mental state has been very stable, and there is no abnormality."
"Combining these two points, I feel that the death of the bewitcher has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Yiyi: "But the words you used just now were uncertain."
"Yes, firstly because..." Lin Yi paused for two seconds and organized his words: "The bewitcher really has no reason to commit suicide, and secondly because I have had some tinnitus recently."
Lin Yi pointed to his ear and said, "About a few days ago, there were some intermittent rustling sounds."
"what sound?"
Lin Yi's answer was simple: "I can't hear it clearly, but it's very noisy."
No wonder he was wearing earplugs just now.
Jiang Yiyi recalled the scene when the other party took out the earplugs just now: "Are the earplugs useful?"
"It's no use."
Lin Yi paused: "But after the doctor appeared, the voice quieted down."
Jiang Yiyi thought for two seconds and decided to refute it first: "First, your mental state has never been better. Second, it is obvious that some strange changes have indeed occurred in you..."
Jiang Yiyi suddenly looked at the gatekeeper: "There is one thing I'm curious about. Are people with special abilities born with them? Or do they suddenly appear at a certain time period?"
The gatekeeper gave the answer: "Born with it."
He paused for a moment, thinking of some examples, and added, "But some people with special abilities will develop abnormalities at a later stage due to various reasons."
"Most of these reasons are because the impact of their abilities is extremely weak and difficult to detect, and partly because their self-control is beyond ordinary people and they deliberately hide this."
"But according to our data, there are no special cases of acquired abilities."
Jiang Yiyi raised her voice slightly: "In other words, they were born crazy?"
The gatekeeper was silent for a little longer this time: "All I can say is that they are destined to be different from ordinary people."
No one can give a definite answer as to whether possessing extraordinary abilities is a good thing for those with abilities, but from a macro perspective, they are just a small group of inconspicuous losers on the long road of evolution.
Perhaps it will become the cornerstone of a new chapter in human history, or perhaps it will be buried in history along with complete failure, and no one will know.
Jiang Yiyi didn't feel anything. To him, this world lacked a sense of reality from the beginning to the end - everything that happened in the virtual world set up by humans was mostly based on humans' imagination of the future and self-reflection.
From this perspective, "Star Prison" is a very profound work.
Jiang Yiyi politely gave the gatekeeper some time to sigh, and then asked the next question: "So, are you sure that the madman was a person with special abilities from the beginning?"
The gatekeeper looked at Jiang Yiyi, and his calm face changed. He frowned slightly and asked, "Do you think he is the same as Lin Yi?"
"I'm just curious, how did you determine that the madman was a person with special abilities from the beginning?"
"Before Lin Yi, there was no precedent for a normal person suddenly becoming a power user. In addition, the madman's mental state when he entered the Star Prison was consistent with the state of a power user losing control. Although the Star Prison Warden has been searching for power users, there are still some who slip through the net. Based on these objective facts, we can reasonably conclude that the madman is also a fish that slipped through the net."
The gatekeeper paused and said, "But if Lin Yi is confirmed to be a person with special abilities who suddenly gained special abilities, then the situation of the madman does need to be re-verified."
At this point, the gatekeeper stopped talking and looked at Jiang Yiyi: "We need to confirm Lin Yi's current condition."
Jiang Yiyi asked another question that he was curious about: "Does Xingyu have the technology to accurately distinguish between people with special abilities and ordinary people?"
"We do have a scientific way to identify the two."
The gatekeeper glanced at Lin Yi and said, "But Lin Yi's test results are more like that of an ordinary person, and cannot confirm his identity as a person with special abilities."
I always feel that during the long hundred years, the only purpose of Star Prison was to lock up a bunch of people with special abilities together.
Jiang Yiyi thought for two seconds and looked at Bai Cang.
Bai Cang, who was lazily leaning against the wall admiring Jiang Yiyi, was suddenly called out. He stood up straight and looked at Jiang Yiyi, then his gaze fell on Lin Yi.
The next second, the atmosphere suddenly stagnated, and a heavy pressure filled the room, approaching everyone with a sense of danger.
The gatekeeper's movements changed slightly and his hand reached into his arms.
Jiang Yiyi sat on the chair, staring at Lin Yi with restraint. After Lin Yi subconsciously took a self-defense posture, he realized the gap between him and the enemy—a chasm that was big enough for the weak to look up to.
The pressure almost materialized, weighing heavily on Lin Yi, forcing him to try his best to struggle for a chance of survival.
Jiang Yiyi could hear the accelerated heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing, which became louder and louder along with the silence.
But this pressure that made Lin Yi do his best was not even because Bai Cang planned to do anything to him, but just that Bai Cang's ability swept over Lin Yi, causing Lin Yi to instinctively fall into a life-and-death struggle.
What Bai Cang is doing is magnifying.
He stared at Lin Yi, who was too weak to capture the signal from the person with special abilities. The waves surged, forming a circle around Lin Yi, continuously amplifying the other party's "possible" abilities, and did not affect people with special abilities in other areas.
The person who did this was Bai Cang. If any other ability user were to do this, none of them would be able to do these two things - whether it was the continuous amplification or the precise operation that would not affect other ability users.
Lin Yi's reaction was huge—but that was because of his survival instinct and had nothing to do with "possible abilities".
He was originally sitting upright on the edge of the bed, but under excessive pressure, he unconsciously bent his body and curled up to protect himself. He closed his eyes, his face flushed, his heartbeat had long exceeded the normal level, and his blood was flowing at an abnormal rate.
It seems that the possibility of him exploding and dying in the next second is greater than the possibility that he is a person with special abilities.
Jiang Yiyi was not worried about Lin Yi's safety. If Bai Cang in a normal state could not control his abilities, then the other party's 1-001 would really be unworthy of its name.
The change happened in an instant. While Jiang Yiyi was still distracted, Lin Yi suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and looked at Bai Cang who was staring at him—and then was hit by the huge waves of the sea.
How disastrous are the consequences of this overestimation of one’s own capabilities
Lin Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground in front of him red. Then he raised his head and his face was covered in blood.
Jiang Yiyi didn't act in a hurry, but turned back to look at Bai Cang first.
Bai Cang looked at him, and the remaining waves suddenly calmed down quickly. The originally stagnant atmosphere in the room instantly relaxed. Bai Cang curved his eyes and smiled at Jiang Yiyi.
I haven’t done anything yet... Bai Cang calmed down on his own
Jiang Yiyi passed over this doubt and retracted her gaze to look at Lin Yi who was wiping his face with a cloth. The gatekeeper was squatting beside him, taking out a small medicine box from somewhere and applying medicine to him.
After wiping the blood off his face a little, he could see where the blood came from—bleeding was coming from all seven orifices.
Jiang Yiyi didn't move. Lin Yi wiped the blood off his face and looked up at Jiang Yiyi.
Their eyes met for a second. Lin Yi took a deep breath, but was unexpectedly choked by the blood in his throat. He coughed for a long time before he recovered.
"Well, doctor, I think I am indeed a person with special abilities."
Lin Yi reported fluently: "But it gave me a strange feeling. The moment that existence appeared, I lost control of my emotions, but because the time was too short..."
It's not that the time was too short, it's that it was suppressed in an instant like an egg hitting a rock.
"I can't accurately describe its abnormality. The feeling it gave me..." Lin Yi searched for the right words: "It didn't seem like an abnormal existence. There was no sense of rejection. I didn't know how to use it, but at that moment, I completely lost control."
“Those noisy sounds appeared along with it…” Lin Yi tapped his head: “It’s as if they were in my head.”
"Did you hear it clearly this time?"
Lin Yi thought about it carefully for a long time and shook his head: "That voice... didn't sound like talking."
Jiang Yiyi raised her eyebrows.
Lin Yi struggled to find the right adjective: "It's like a frequency, mixed together, hard to distinguish."
The gatekeeper roughly applied the medicine to him, stood up, and interrupted the conversation: "Now, we have proved one thing, Lin Yi has indeed become a person with special abilities."
"Then we can ask the next question." The gatekeeper looked at Jiang Yiyi: "Doctor, do you realize that this has something to do with you?"
Obviously, whether it was the madman or Lin Yi, the only thing they had in common was that they had close contact with Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi: "So, you think it was me who caused this?"
“Or rather, it has something to do with the doctor’s ability.”
There was silence for a few seconds, and Jiang Yiyi spoke first: "Then my ability is almighty. Not only can it alleviate the loss of control of the ability user, it can even..."
Jiang Yiyi glanced at Lin Yi: "Turning normal people into people with special abilities?"
"If he is a fully evolved ability user, he will be a new human being in the true sense."
The gatekeeper's calm tone was slightly different when he said this: "Perhaps you are meant to be this powerful."
"You are more sure of its power than I am." Jiang Yiyi sighed with an ambiguous tone.
"Perhaps it's because this means that the door to the new world has finally opened a little to them."
Bai Cang walked behind Jiang Yiyi without knowing when. He stretched out his hand to hold the back of the chair, looked at the gatekeeper and said: "If humans can transform into people with special abilities, what does this mean?"
Bai Cang chuckled: "This means that everyone has the opportunity to surpass the limits of human beings."
"Is becoming a person with special abilities a good thing?" Jiang Yiyi continued, "Judging from your current situation, this is terrible."
"The current situation is like this because people with special abilities are aliens, but if everyone is an alien, then this world..."
Bai Cang bent down and whispered in Jiang Yiyi's ear: "It's completely different."
Jiang Yiyi reacted for a few seconds, glanced at the "Psychology" skill on the character panel, and fell into deep thought.
This time, he did not think about the owner of this skill, but changed his mindset and began to think about what the producer of the "Star Prison" game was thinking.
Is he planning to release another game? Alliance
That doesn't sound like much fun.
Jiang Yiyi's thoughts wandered for a second, then returned to the present.
He knew clearly what this meant to Star Prison. Just as Bai Cang said, this meant that the door to a new world was opened to them. Hundreds of years of pursuit suddenly appeared before their eyes, so it was not surprising what they did.
But at the same time, Jiang Yiyi was also very clear about one thing—any uncontrolled power was not a good thing.
Just as he said when he talked to Lin Yi about the so-called "new world", "If everyone has abilities, the order will only get further out of control. This is not a good thing. Inflated abilities and backward constraints will only lead to self-destruction."
Not to mention the side effects of people with special abilities, even the power itself should be used with restrictions - of course, when thinking this way, Jiang Yiyi had no doubt that he had been practicing this.
So he would never agree with this so-called "new world".
Even if it's just a game.
"I don't know the situation of Star Warden, but it seems that the problem he has to deal with is indeed very difficult."
Jiang Yiyi stretched out his hand to push away Bai Cang who was too close. Bai Cang straightened up and grabbed his hand.
The sharp edge flashed at his fingertips, and Bai Cang moved his fingers slightly to avoid the blade with malicious intentions.
In a very short period of time, the blade and the fingers clashed several times, but neither could do anything to the other. Only the temperature of the human body was transmitted steadily from the skin contact.
Although it was not mentioned explicitly, Jiang Yiyi knew exactly what Star Warden was busy with.
The only thing that kept him busy right now was the warning Jiang Yiyi gave him when they met last time.
That was the key point of failure in the first round. Even the Star Warden who received the reminder could not solve it easily.
"If you have enough communication with him, it should be clear that it is better to confirm the partner's wishes first rather than expecting something unrealistic."
Jiang Yiyi gave a very clear rejection: "No matter what preconditions are added, my answer to this is no."
The gatekeeper calmed down and returned to his normal self.
Jiang Yiyi looked back at Bai Cang who was still happily walking with the blade.
Bai Cang stopped and let go of his hand: "You are so determined to refuse. Doctor, do you not like this new world?"
He didn't mean to get an answer, but immediately said: "If the doctor doesn't like it, then I don't like it either."
“If we don’t like it, it’s not going to be a reality.”
When the other person says this, it's so certain that one can be sure that it's the truth.
Lin Yi remained silent from beginning to end, like a bystander who had nothing to do with the matter.
The gatekeeper paused for a long time this time, and only spoke again after the room fell silent again.
"I need to report the latest progress to the Star Warden." The gatekeeper said dully, "As for the doctor's attitude, I will convey it to the Star Warden truthfully."
Jiang Yiyi was not surprised by the fact that the other party had no authority - in fact, the reason why Jiang Yiyi was much more restrained at the bottom level than at the previous levels was the same.
Jiang Yiyi's almost omnipotent ability raised his dangerousness to the peak - not only Xingyu made this judgment, but Jiang Yiyi himself also made this judgment.
If Brother Hu met him now, there is no way he would survive.
This was not even due to Jiang Yiyi's subjective aggressive behavior, but the result of her ability to counterattack herself.
At the lowest level, Jiang Yiyi's subjective aggressive behavior using "psychology" only occurred to Bai Cang.
Even when facing a predator, Jiang Yiyi only uses "dissection and reconstruction".
Jiang Yiyi's restraint was not because he was suppressed, but on the contrary, because he could not be suppressed.
And this is why even the gatekeeper does not have enough authority to deal with Jiang Yiyi - because the level of danger he poses is far beyond what the gatekeeper can handle.
But what Jiang Yiyi cared about was not this, but the fact that this ability was too powerful.
He was growing visibly stronger and rapidly surpassing the limits of human capabilities, but he still hadn't reached the limit of his abilities.
Jiang Yiyi began to think about what kind of guy she had made a deal with in the first round, so that she could start the second round with "Psychology" as her skill.
"Before the Star Warden makes a decision," the gatekeeper spoke again in a long silence, "Doctor, should we go back to the first building?"
Lin Yi's expression changed slightly, and he interrupted, "I think the doctor needs to go see the madman first."
The gatekeeper, who was planning to arrange for someone to test the madman as soon as the doctor returned, fell silent.
Jiang Yiyi was reminded.
After the last conversation, Lin Yi recounted the entire conversation to Jiang Yiyi, including Jian Si's extremely suspicious and terrifying words: "Be well, and stay alive."
But considering Jiang Yiyi's understanding of Jian Si and Jian Si's usual behavior - this sentence is more likely to be something that Jian Si has never thought about at all, rather than a hint that is terrifying upon closer thought.
After all, that was Jiansi, a Jiansi that had no use other than being a save point.
His thoughts paused again, and Jiang Yiyi suddenly realized that the save point was the essence of the game.
"Considering that we currently cannot trust each other," Jiang Yiyi smiled at the gatekeeper, "I think you won't refuse?"
The gatekeeper looked at the closed door, then at Bai Cang standing behind Jiang Yiyi, then at Lin Yi sitting on the bed, and finally at Jiang Yiyi sitting on the chair - she was completely surrounded by enemy forces, and she could die repeatedly if she hesitated for a moment.
The gatekeeper said in a muffled voice: "Of course not."
The author has something to say: There will be an additional update at six o'clock.
