First floor, special conversation room.
The structure of the special conversation room is very special.
A whole wall of glass is enough to let the sunlight outside the window pour into the room. Green plants can be seen everywhere in the room, filling every inch of space and overflowing with vitality.
Other furnishings are half-hidden among the green plants; even the set of wooden tables and chairs by the window are not immune to this treatment, making this place more like a special botanical garden than a conversation space.
Jiang Yiyi walked in front. The originally planned path was covered by the rampant grass. He bypassed the plants with outstretched branches and leaves, and moved forward with some difficulty in the gaps between the plants, heading towards his destination - the table and chairs by the window.
The Grim Reaper following behind him easily kept up with his footsteps. Obstacles had no effect on him at all. His keen perception and quick reaction were enough to allow him to handle it with ease.
Jiang Yiyi traveled through mountains and rivers and arrived at her destination, which was next to a table and chairs at the deepest part of the conversation room.
"Sit down," Jiang Yiyi sat down and said to the person behind him, "Let's talk first."
Although he didn't think the Grim Reaper would be nervous, he still explained: "As for the rest, we'll talk about it after we get to know the situation better."
Death sat across from him, not holding the sword - in fact, although he was good with cold weapons, he himself was not keen on carrying them around.
Jiang Yiyi's gaze paused on the Grim Reaper, and he belatedly realized another point.
When he met the Grim Reaper for the first time, the other party's expression was extremely exaggerated, and his abnormal mental state could be confirmed at a glance.
But now, the expression of the Grim Reaper was no different from that of a normal person, except that he was too silent. It was even enough to make people who didn't know the situation wonder if he was mentally ill.
Death noticed Jiang Yiyi's gaze, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yiyi: "Just the two of us?"
Jiang Yiyi retracted his thoughts and said, "After all, I am the doctor."
The Grim Reaper responded muffledly, and the atmosphere fell silent again.
Jiang Yiyi's thoughts returned to the previous question—does this change mean that the mental state of the Grim Reaper has improved
Death was silent for a moment, then realized that Jiang Yiyi was distracted, and broke the silence and asked, "Doctor, what do you want to talk about?"
Jiang Yiyi: "You are in much better condition now than before."
Upon hearing this, the Grim Reaper laughed and said in a strange tone, "Because of the doctor."
"This world is boring." Death stopped laughing and said slowly, "People who try their best to survive are stupid."
Death took a deep breath. "It's hard not to find this all ridiculous."
"Boring, stupid, ridiculous, absurd."
The familiar laughter echoed in the room again.
So he is always laughing, because the world is ridiculous in his eyes.
"But doctors are different." Death slowly stopped laughing and became serious: "Doctors are not funny at all."
He thought about the words and spoke quickly: "There are too many unknowns, too many secrets, and too many magical things about doctors."
"The world has become more interesting because of the doctor." A wave of emotion slowly emerged in the eyes of the Grim Reaper: "That's great. Apart from death, there is something else worth looking forward to."
Jiang Yiyi listened to him in silence and made a judgment: "It seems that your condition has improved."
Death became interested in the conversation: "I know the doctor has a lot of secrets, and I don't care what the doctor wants to do." Death leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between him and Jiang Yiyi, and lowered his voice and said: "But, the doctor can..."
"Kill me?"
"Since this world is already worth looking forward to..." Jiang Yiyi was a little confused: "Why not take a closer look at it?"
"Compared to this," the Grim Reaper lowered his eyes, trembling as he tried to suppress his laughter, "dying at the hands of a doctor is more worth looking forward to."
The Grim Reaper laughed for a few minutes before he stopped and said to Jiang Yiyi with great joy, "I know the doctor has doubts."
"About my restraint and abnormality." Death tilted his head and recalled, "That's what Li Yihe said."
"The reason is simple." Death rarely had such a strong desire to confide: "The reason I restrained myself is because I am sure that I will eventually die at the hands of a doctor."
He shook his head and said with a smile: "Since my pursuit will eventually come true, why should I be so anxious? I just need to wait patiently."
Jiang Yiyi thought for two seconds: "I don't think it will come true in the end."
Death has blind confidence in this: "No, it will."
Jiang Yiyi stared at the Grim Reaper for a few seconds and realized that if he continued to refute, it would be an endless cycle - he had already fully experienced how stubborn they were with Bai Cang.
"Since this is a matter for the future, let's talk about it later." Jiang Yiyi changed the subject: "Shall we talk about something else?"
"What would you like to talk about, doctor?"
What would a self-destructive, pessimistic person be interested in
This is a good question, because Jiang Yiyi immediately found the answer: "Me?"
Just as Jiang Yiyi judged, the Grim Reaper showed interest in talking: "Doctor, do you like this world?"
I found the key to the problem right away.
Jiang Yiyi said slowly: "I don't like it."
Death was not surprised by Jiang Yiyi's answer: "I have always wondered why some people like it and even try their best to survive."
"This group of people is really ridiculous. I should say that this world is really ridiculous."
Jiang Yiyi was silent for two seconds, thinking about whether he should explain why he didn't like this world - it had nothing to do with whether the world was absurd or ridiculous, he didn't like this world simply because it was an existence marked by him as an enemy.
Death didn't give him a chance to explain, and immediately asked the second question: "Why is the doctor so restrained?"
He had no problem with Jiang Yiyi's restraint, but he just couldn't understand it: "Those people, just kill them, so they won't cause trouble for the doctor."
The people he was referring to were not anyone else, but the abnormal ones.
Jiang Yiyi: "Because some things are far more important than meaningless killing and death."
The Grim Reaper agrees with this: "It's like I won't just commit suicide or find someone to kill me."
"Because it's meaningless." He looked at Jiang Yiyi, his eyes focused and sincere: "Only death brought by doctors is real death."
There was a word that should have caught Jiang Yiyi's attention, but before that, the words of the Grim Reaper quickly distracted him, and he completely forgot about this somewhat abrupt word.
The Grim Reaper spoke in a lower tone, and was very serious, unlike the silent and crazy Grim Reaper in Jiang Yiyi's impression.
"I see." There was a strange emotion in his eyes: "No wonder doctors are so special in my world."
“The doctor is like another me.”
"I know what the doctor is thinking when he looks at the world."
"Because I think so too." Death said calmly: "What is the need for this terrible, boring, ridiculous world to exist?"
Jiang Yiyi interrupted him: "I think you have some misunderstandings."
Death stopped talking and asked Jiang Yiyi: "What misunderstanding?"
Jiang Yiyi sorted out her words: "I'll tell you..."
There was an abrupt pause in the words of clarification, and he saw the look on Death's face as he looked at him—calm and pure.
For a negative and pessimistic person with self-destructive tendencies, the existence of "another person" makes the world in his eyes a little more interesting, and makes him willing to stop his pace towards death and keep his eyes on Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi swallowed back the words that followed. It wasn't that he couldn't clarify that little misunderstanding, but...
The other party's mental state was already not good, so there was no need to state the facts and destroy the light in his eyes.
Death waited patiently for a moment, but didn't wait for Jiang Yiyi to finish the second half of his sentence: "Me and the doctor?"
"There is a difference between you and me." Jiang Yiyi chose her words carefully: "You just don't know me well enough."
Death laughed again, "Of course I know the doctor."
He shook his head and laughed contentedly.
“Every man is an island, and no one can fully understand another.”
The Grim Reaper is not a pure madman - to be precise, all people with special abilities are not just madmen, they are also another kind of genius.
“Everyone has more hidden in the depths than comes to the surface.”
Death was in a very good mood, which was reflected in the amplitude of his body shaking constantly: "We go forward alone, facing the storms of the world alone."
“I often feel sad because of loneliness.”
Death looked at Jiang Yiyi: "So, there is another similar island. How surprising."
Before Jiang Yiyi could say anything, Death excitedly started the next topic: "I already know the doctor well enough, so does the doctor want to know me?"
This conversation had deviated from Jiang Yiyi's original idea from the very beginning, and now it was completely beyond his control.
But no one can be sure that they can control the direction of the conversation at the next moment before it begins - especially when talking to people with special abilities, their different states and thinking from ordinary people make everything always beyond imagination.
"I'm wondering how I can heal you."
Death tilted his head, a little confused: "Why do you want to heal us?"
“I think there’s nothing wrong with where we are right now.”
Death was genuinely puzzled by this: "It didn't cause us any trouble. On the contrary, it made the world a little more interesting."
Jiang Yiyi answered him: "Why should I cure you? Probably because if you are cured, you will find that the world is not so boring after all."
The Grim Reaper was indifferent to this. He did not refute Jiang Yiyi, not because he agreed, but because he felt it was unnecessary.
"I don't think curing us will change anything."
The Grim Reaper tilted his head and looked at Jiang Yiyi who remained calm. "We are still ourselves. If our views on the world and death suddenly change because of this..."
"That can't be considered as being cured, right?" He pondered thoughtfully, "It can only be called being reshaped to conform to the mainstream society?"
Death came to this conclusion, smiled, and asked Jiang Yiyi's opinion with great interest: "What do you think, doctor?"
I think I should find a licensed psychologist to talk to you.
Jiang Yiyi, who was persuaded in the opposite way, began to doubt her ability as the attending physician.
Death stared at Jiang Yiyi for a few seconds, and when Jiang Yiyi did not respond, he continued: "Of course, the doctor can do this, but the doctor will not do it this way."
Jiang Yiyi looked at the Grim Reaper again because of the certainty in the other party's words.
"Because he's a doctor." Death laughed again. "If the doctor was like those ridiculous guys, there's no way he could stand in front of me, right?"
"It's because doctors are different from them." Death laughed so hard that he had to stop and slow down before continuing in a strangely cheerful tone, "So, everything has turned out like this."
"Doctors are the same as us."
"Then how can they possibly want us to become 'normal people that conform to mainstream society'?" Even the God of Death could easily come to this conclusion: "So, when the doctor says he's curing us, it's not so much about 'correcting' our mental condition, but rather about correcting the wrong influence of our abilities."
After the Grim Reaper finished this long string of words, he looked at the silent Jiang Yiyi and expressed his attitude: "I don't care what the doctor plans to do, or to achieve these in some unimaginable way."
Jiang Yiyi even suspected that even if he told the other party that this world was a game, the other party would not cause any more waves.
To him, the world is inherently boring, and those things that other people care about are just that insignificant in his eyes.
Jiang Yiyi glanced at the hidden ending of 2/7 on the character panel. After a long silence, she said, "What does it matter to you?"
Death answered quickly, as if he had been waiting for a long time: "Kill me."
"besides?"
"Nothing attracts me more than death."
Jiang Yiyi was thinking about how the opponent's hidden ending should be achieved. Before the conversation began, he thought it would not be difficult at all - whether it was the buff or the performance of the Grim Reaper all along, it undoubtedly proved his influence on them.
Logically speaking, if the opponent has a hidden ending, then he is only a step away from achieving this hidden ending.
But the fun of life is that it always brings you surprises.
For example, the topic went off track from the very beginning, and for another example, although he was only one step away from the hidden ending, this so-called one step away also meant that it was so close yet so far away.
A bloody death
Jiang Yiyi recalled the previous two hidden endings. The professor's hidden ending came from the first round. Although Jiang Yiyi had no memory of how to get this hidden ending, based on the known information, this was most likely related to the other party's hobby—the professor chose Jiang Yiyi, so he got the professor's hidden ending.
Bai Cang's hidden ending comes from the second round, and the process of getting it is extremely simple. They reached a cooperation intention and then got his hidden ending - this is why Jiang Yiyi thinks that the remaining hidden endings are only a stone's throw away.
But now it seems that the hidden ending may be related to the NPC's obsession.
Jiang Yiyi's thoughts paused for a moment. She turned her head to look behind her. The room was empty and there was no familiar figure.
What is Bai Cang's obsession? Why was his hidden ending revealed so easily
"doctor?"
Jiang Yiyi retracted his thoughts, looked at the god of death, and said firmly: "I won't do that."
Death was not surprised: "I know." He said firmly: "But I never doubted that it would eventually come true."
Jiang Yiyi shook her head slightly: "Then from now on, you can doubt this."
He stood up and walked out the door: "This conversation ends here."
He bypassed those obstacles: "Next, go to the research institute..."
He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. A figure lazily leaning against the door came into his sight. Jiang Yiyi paused: "What's the matter?"
Bai Cang stood up straight and glanced at the silent god of death: "It's okay."
Are you just sitting here doing nothing
This little doubt did not affect Jiang Yiyi's thoughts. He walked and invited: "Let's go to the research institute together?"
Bai Cang followed him naturally: "And do a test by the way?"
Jiang Yiyi did not deny it: "Didn't you say that you want to explore the direction of human evolution?"
"Did you listen to Li Yihe's nonsense?" Bai Cang put his hands in his pockets and said slowly: "Xingyu wants it, but it can't be done."
"But I'm here." Jiang Yiyi walked out of the building, identified the direction, and walked towards another corner of the independent space: "Then everything is completely different."
Bai Cang glanced at the Grim Reaper in a warning tone, then continued, "Does the doctor understand scientific research?"
"In fact, I know nothing about it."
The corner where the research institute was located was a little far away from here, and the long journey gave them enough time to talk.
Bai Cang was not surprised by this answer: "Doctors' confidence always comes without reason, and even gives people some kind of illusion."
"It's as if the doctor had already seen the outcome, that's why he was so sure."
Jiang Yiyi subconsciously turned the blade in his hand. Of course, he did not see the ending, but he was indeed aware of the abnormalities in himself. Whether it was entering the game or after entering the game, he was calm and fearless, and even... his inner world was so strong that it could not be shaken.
"However, nothing that happens to a doctor is surprising." Bai Cang continued in silence: "Because he is a doctor."
"A synonym for miracle and wonder."
Bai Cang stopped and looked up at the building in front of him: "The only exception in this world."
The research institute was right in front of them, cold and rigid, with a rigorous scientific research atmosphere, standing in the most remote corner of the independent space.
There were no guards in front of the institute, and no one was seen entering or leaving the institute. It was extremely cautious, closing everything off, and everything was sealed off inside the institute.
This is the embodiment of the Star Prison's existence over the hundreds of years it has been exploring the path of human evolution. It brings together researchers at the forefront of Star Alliance technology, who have been trudging along a path they could not reach, and have not stopped to this day.
