"Wait a minute, I need to confirm one thing," Jiang Yiyi asked, "Is your existence itself proof?"
"My mental state is normal." Jian Si reminded the other party: "I don't crave blood and death. My ability is not suppressed by 1-001. I am the only exception among the ability users."
Jiang Yiyi knew all of this, but...
"If all this is not enough," Jian Si winked at Jiang Yiyi, "When I drained the energy just now, you should have seen this world, and you should have also seen another existence."
Before Jian Si woke up, or before the backup appeared, after a long stare, the image of the world map that suddenly appeared and disappeared flashed through Jiang Yiyi's mind. It was a world map shrouded in darkness but not yet completely covered - if that darkness was the "special substance" that Jian Si mentioned, then it and this world were indeed in a state of being about to merge but not yet completely merged.
Jian Si judged that the emergence of people with special abilities - their madness and abnormal mental state - were all caused by the influence of materials that were "about to merge but not yet fully merged".
"Have you seen it?"
"At the end of last week's show, when everything was over," Janes said vaguely, "I took a look at it."
"So, the ability you possess is the complete version, while the abilities of other ability users are semi-finished?"
"That's another explanation, but I prefer another one. In the confrontation between this unknown substance and the old world, it chose me to be the one that breaks the confrontation. So I became the only exception."
Jiang Yiyi did not comment on species selection and evolution—although Jian Si denied that the emergence of people with special abilities was due to human evolution.
But if the appearance of that special substance is replaced by another evolutionary direction, it is still an evolution, but it belongs to the evolution of the entire world.
But what does that darkness belong to, what is the reason for the loss of control of the people with special abilities, and is humanity facing a new world or a new doomsday? These conclusions cannot be drawn through dialogue and imagination alone. Only through continuous research and exploration can we get real answers.
In other words, even if Jian Si and he confirmed everything, without scientific evidence, it would only be an incredible fantasy.
Rather than guessing and imagining, Jiang Yiyi was more concerned about another point. He was very curious about what the NPCs thought about him being part of the game settings.
"So, you accept the worldview that this is a game?"
"You should listen to Li Yihe's opinion." Jian Si showed a regretful expression: "It's a pity that he is not here now, otherwise I might still have a chance to win the bet we made before."
"Unless we can escape from this world, it doesn't make any sense for us to recognize this. Similarly, for you, if you can't escape from this world, then this is not a game, but a real world, but if you can escape from this world, then it's just a game."
“A game that allows you to experience an immersive gaming experience.”
As expected, he is Li Yihe.
"Li Yihe," Jiang Yiyi couldn't help but sigh: "Really..."
"Well-deserved." Jian Si took over the conversation: "But the premise is that you didn't hear his original words, otherwise you wouldn't be expressing admiration for his IQ now." At least last time, those who heard the other party's original words once again strengthened their self-management of emotions.
"You wasted a lot of time." Jiang Yiyi pulled away from his sigh and turned hostile in an instant, as if the person who had just asked the questions was not him, and urged Jian Si: "You haven't gotten to the point yet."
"Because this is indeed a huge explanation project." Jian Si had anticipated this point: "However, even if there are some places that I don't have time to explain..."
"Anyway, we still have Li Yihe." Jian Si said confidently: "Although he doesn't have a backup, you just need to tell him everything you know, and then you will naturally learn what you don't know from Li Yihe."
After a brief silence, before some inexplicable feeling of frustration enveloped them, Jian Si changed the subject.
"Let's talk about the plan." Jian Si said seriously, "It was Li Yihe's suggestion to restart the second round. All subsequent arrangements were made by him..."
"Of course, before the second round actually begins, none of us are sure whether there will really be a second round."
"And at that time, we were not far from completing the game." Jian Si thought for two seconds and corrected himself: "To be precise, compared to the second round that might not even exist, we were only a step away from completing the game."
He looked at Jiang Yiyi: "In this situation, Li Yihe proposed to end the first round, which he considered a failure, and start the second round, and then end it all."
"I'm so sorry that you don't have that memory." Jian Si said sincerely: "That was the highlight of human wisdom. It was a wonderful performance of reasoning out amazing conclusions in the fog with clues, logic and mental calculations."
At this point, Jian Si paused and said, "Didn't I mention how Li Yihe became one of the collaborators?"
"No one invited him. After all... Li Yihe's personality is too bad, and his high IQ makes him feel spied on, which is not a good experience. But he found something unusual from our overly close contact, and then he came to us directly to verify his guess."
"Not surprising at all." Jiang Yiyi: "What is surprising is that you actually accepted him?"
Jian Si looked at Jiang Yiyi: "After all, you are also part of this "you guys"."
"Let me introduce you to the you in the first episode that you don't remember. 1-043, Jiang Yi, nickname, Leader." Jian Si said with some regret: "Your number is underestimated, because your ability in the last episode... can be almost ignored, which limits your performance."
"And the reason you were able to obtain the serial number 1-043 was entirely due to your own strength."
Jiang Yiyi repeated the nickname: "Dominator?"
"You are more used to being the leader in everything." Jian Si said, "And for this plan, you are also the only leader."
"As a general rule, it seems difficult for an ordinary person to take the lead in a group of capable people, especially a small group with a person as powerful as you."
Jian Si agreed with him: "That's right. But if this 'ordinary person' is you, then this is not surprising at all."
Jiang Yiyi interacted in accordance with social etiquette: "Thank you for the compliment?"
"Describing it truthfully is not a compliment." Jian Si raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yiyi: "I don't know if you remember it, but I don't mind repeating it again."
"Jiang Yi, cooperating with you is the best choice I have ever made."
Jiang Yiyi hesitated for two seconds: "I'm not sure yet, whether to cooperate with you..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't go on." Jian Si interrupted him, but still a little unwilling, and asked knowingly: "What about Li Yihe..."
"There is no doubt that he is a treasure of mankind." Jiang Yiyi said firmly: "Of course, his bad personality does not count, but considering the excellence of his brain, I think this small flaw is still within my tolerance."
"In fact, anyone who knows what kind of intelligence he has will be so broad-minded."
Jian Si brought the topic back to the topic: "Li Yihe makes the judgment, and you make the choice."
Jiang Yiyi couldn't help but ask again: "I'm still confused about why I can be the one who makes the choice."
"You are wasting our limited time," Jian Si turned the tables and explained casually, "The professor is on your side, and I..."
Jian Si said nonchalantly, "I'm on your side too."
"Why do you have such an expression?" Jian Si glanced at Jiang Yiyi's expression and said confidently: "Have you never realized the strong personal charm you possess?"
Jian Si glanced at Jiang Yiyi who was frowning and said, "Let me remind you that my ability does not include being attractive to people with special abilities. If I could do that, then last week's story might be more interesting."
"That's the change caused by the combination of our special features." Jian Si tilted his head: "It's your special features that caused the change."
Jiang Yiyi finally brought the topic back: "What does it mean when our special features are combined together?"
"It means exactly what it says. The conclusion drawn by Li Yihe is the reason why we modified our plan and started the second round."
"Clearing the level doesn't mean the end." Jian Si became serious: "We must completely defeat the existence that restricts all of this before we can usher in a truly new world."
"And Li Yihe's judgment is that as a player, you have the possibility of defeating it, and as the anchor of the new world, I have the ability to defeat it."
"So, if you have my abilities, then you have within you all the ingredients necessary to defeat it."
"So, this is why the second round started." Jiang Yiyi thought: "Because the me in the first round does not have the ability to defeat it, and what we need is me with your power."
"That's right, so let's end the first round and start the second round again."
"But since you can give me this ability as a skill at the beginning of the second round, why don't you just give it to me in the first round..."
"I think you have a wrong perception." Jian Si said lightly: "I can't give it to others casually."
Jiang Yiyi's puzzled expression flashed across her face, and she suddenly realized, "So, another reason for starting the second round is that we have to."
Jian Si didn't think there was any need to hide this: "That's right. We finally confirmed how to let you have my abilities."
Jiang Yiyi added with a serious expression: "The ending of the first round is total annihilation."
"The professor should have explained more to you, but I guess Li Yihe's judgment is correct. It will not make it possible for the professor to explain the plan to you, and it may even mislead you."
"But you are Jiang Yi." How could you be so easily misled
"Regarding the ending of the first round where everyone is wiped out - enough people with special abilities are facing death, which causes energy riots, plus my desperate situation of being on the verge of death. These two factors trigger the relocation of the anchor point."
Jian Si spread his hands and said, "After all, that substance needs an existence to break the deadlock for it and completely cover the old world. In that case, it can only choose the one with the greatest chance of survival - or in other words, you who 'should not exist' in this world become the new anchor."
"But just as Li Yihe said, its influence on this world is far less than the control of the old world. So, we succeeded—it couldn't completely cut off its connection with me, which allowed me to successfully complete the backup."
"That was a hymn of death." Jian Si was a little excited: "In the destruction of the Star Prison, we seized the only chance."
"It turns out that it is just a fool, a rigid, inflexible fool."
"Li Yihe has already outlined everything, and it has done its best, but it is just..." Jian Si mocked: "Ha, an ordinary you, a cowardly and incompetent me?"
"Is that all it can do?"
Jian Si mocked the other party to his heart's content: "Sure enough, as long as we find the right direction, this guy will not be an enemy that hinders us at all."
"It can't kill everything that's already there, it can't interfere too much with free will."
"This is Li Yihe's judgment."
“It turns out that he is still right.”
The author has something to say: Therefore, the reason why Jiang Yiyi can possess "psychology" through the "non-hidden ending" is because they used a special method - the annihilation ending of the first week - to transfer it from Jian Si to Jiang Yiyi.
The essence of "psychology" is the "new world" - that is, the reason why people with abilities become people with abilities - the influence of a special substance.
But compared to Jian Si, other people with special abilities in this world can only be considered semi-finished products.
Because the old world still exists, and the new world has not yet completely covered it, or replaced it - and the limited influence leads to the abnormality of the people with special abilities.
———
"My mental state is normal." Jian Si reminded the other party: "I don't crave blood and death. My ability is not suppressed by 1-001. I am the only exception among the ability users."
This sentence proves that the being affected by this special substance should have been a normal person like Jian Si, but the person with special abilities is not.
So, Jiang Yiyi said, this needs to be corrected.
So, Janes said, the old world must be replaced.
Therefore, Li Yihe started the plan for the second round, because they needed a "player who shouldn't exist" to make it happen.
