My years as a boss

Getting too close to espers is not a good idea, as they are very dangerous.

And discussing life and ideals with capable people is a worse choice.This is undoubtedly handing over their weaknesses to the other side. They are good at and passionate about these, and no one can beat them in their logic.

The anomaly is a lesson from the past. The moment the sharp blade is swung, it is doomed to have only two endings.

Harvest life, or damage yourself.

But maybe there is another possibility?

Jiang Yiyi stared at the collector for a few seconds. Compared with the abnormal, the first impression of the collector was much better.

A polite and normal person, well-educated, exudes a gentlemanly atmosphere that does not seem to be fake, almost like an ordinary person-the reason for saying almost is because even if he looks like an ordinary person, the other party's gaze The light that suddenly lit up when it stayed on Jiang Yiyi's eyes was enough to make people confirm that he had abnormal emotions about it, almost obsessed.

This made him always subconsciously lower his tone when facing Jiang Yiyi, appearing extremely restrained and gentle.

Unlike the deviants who want Jiang Yiyi to release the other side of evil, collectors just like Jiang Yiyi's eyes. This kind of innocuous little hobby doesn't seem to require the death of one of them to end it.

There should be another possibility.

Jiang Yiyi casually thought, even if there is no one, but since one of them is him, there must be one.

After all, I am Jiang Yiyi.

This kind of self-awareness may seem a little too arrogant, but at some point, it is also called having a clear understanding of self.

The collector sat where the anomalous person had sat, staring into Jiang Yiyi's eyes.

He doesn't mind silence, and even enjoys it.Because in the silence, there was no presence to distract him, allowing him to look intently into those eyes.

The dark eyes are so beautiful from beginning to end...

"Talk about you?" Jiang Yiyi finished thinking, and started the topic under the other party's focused gaze: "Why did you become 1-008?"

Collector blinked, changed his posture, made sure that he could look into those eyes without meeting Jiang Yiyi's eyes, and said softly, "I think this proves that I am strong enough."

Collectors are indeed different from other ability users, whether they are Reapers, Masks or Abnormalities, they all have a clear disregard for life—whether it is others or between them, but Collectors are just the opposite.

His gaze when he stared at Jiang Yiyi, and his concentration when he stared at the corpse of the abnormal person, all showed that he had a special emotion for life itself.

People are always used to exploring the unknown and secrets, perhaps because of instinct, or perhaps out of curiosity, so Jiang Yiyi paused for a few seconds.

He noticed the existence of secrets from the collectors—to be precise, every ability user had their own secrets, and these secrets made them what they are now.

And Jiang Yiyi is very sure that as long as he asks a question, he can get an answer from the collector.

But it is not necessary, the reason why a secret is a secret is because it is hidden in the dark, which is the most correct way.

Digging up on other people's misfortunes doesn't make things any better. On the contrary, real death follows when the deepest secrets are unearthed.

The Abnormal is the best example, he showed everything in front of Jiang Yiyi, and then he couldn't look back.

"Talk about your obsession."

Jiang Yiyi skipped those superfluous things and went straight to the point.

He looked out of the window, and the sun hanging high in the air radiated light and heat towards the world. The sun shines on his body through the glass, bringing some warmth, just like yesterday.

"Obsession?" The collector repeated the word, showing a sudden smile: "So, that's the case. The doctor needs to complete our obsession before..."

Collector paused: "Save the world?"

"It can't be called saving the world."

Jiang Yiyi's mind drifted through Jiang Yiyi's mind about what the abnormal person said before about whether the world needs him to save, and Jiang Yiyi denied it: "It's just a small task that has to be done."

"The other end of the mission, what is it?"

The topic shifted to Jiang Yiyi unknowingly, and the collector asked: "The doctor said before that he wanted to 'cure' us, but what does it mean to 'cure'?"

"If the doctor completes our obsession, can we become ordinary people?"

The collector watched Jiang Yiyi's expression, and Jiang Yiyi's expression was always calm as if engraved on it, without any valid information.

"Or, after completing our obsession, we will become new human beings in the true sense just like doctors?"

"Is there any connection between the small tasks that have to be done and 'healing' us?"

Jiang Yiyi paused for two seconds, the collector's reaction to this question was completely opposite to that of the others.

None of the abnormal people asked the reason - because they didn't care what Jiang Yiyi wanted to achieve.

For them, their little quirks are far more important than those insignificant things, even if these dull and important things include their own lives.

But the collector asked—he cared more about why Jiang Yiyi did what he did than he wanted Jiang Yiyi to realize his obsession.

In other words, his obsession is not important enough for him to ignore other existences.

This is what a normal person would do, but not what a capable person should do.

The reason why ability users are extremely dangerous is precisely because they have no empathy.

In their dictionary, death, destruction, and despair are not the meanings of ordinary people's concepts. They will not be afraid of death, nor will they despair for the destruction of the world. Their world does not have these.

If not, how could you care?

Collector noticed Jiang Yiyi's gaze. He turned his head and thought for a few seconds, with a slightly cheerful tone: "The doctor seems to have a lot of doubts about me?"

"One question for another question?" The collector looked into Jiang Yiyi's eyes and said, "Just right, I also have some doubts about the doctor."

"I think too in-depth dialogue may not be a good thing." Jiang Yiyi confessed his worries frankly: "I don't want you to become the next abnormal person."

Collector thought for a moment for a second: "If you're just worried that I will die because of it..."

"That's unnecessary." The collector bowed slightly towards Jiang Yiyi, showing a gentleman's demeanor, extremely calm: "Death is our final destination, and no one can avoid it."

"If it's because of a doctor..." The collector smiled at Jiang Yiyi, with dimples looming: "That would make even the god of death jealous."

"What's more, I've been looking forward to having such a conversation with the doctor for a long time." The collector's gaze stayed focused on Jiang Yiyi's eyes from the beginning to the end: "Only the conversation can let me know the doctor better."

"This is the professionalism that a collector should have." The collector's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something trivial: "Only by knowing enough about the collection can its true value be preserved."

"So, what do you collect?"

"Is that the first question?"

Before Jiang Yiyi could answer, the collector answered the question with a gentle and restrained smile: "I collect all valuable existences."

"The heart of the abnormal..." Jiang Yiyi: "The purest evil of human beings is its value in your eyes?"

"Indeed." The collector said eloquently: "Since the doctor has already talked with the abnormal, what does the doctor think of the abnormal?"

"The weakness shaped by the tragic past, coupled with the ability to surpass the limits of human beings, finally created an abnormal person who could not support a fragile soul."

"It seems that doctors know enough about abnormal people."

The collector said gently and calmly: "Just like what the doctor said, the reason why he is an 'abnormal' is because the tragedy in him did not create a strong enough soul, which doomed his final outcome."

"His death...was but another retreat of the cowardly."

"He once regressed before a man stronger than himself, allowing him to rule his life; and after he recognized the power he possessed, he retreated in malice, allowing it to rule his actions; and finally, he died Backsliding before him, letting death end his life."

"His life started with tragedy because of his ability, and finally ended with the character created by tragedy."

"He suffers because of the malice of others, and chooses evil because of his own weakness."

"The crimes he bears cannot be easily written down, and the deaths he caused are far beyond human imagination."

"He was only eight years old when he realized what he was capable of. After that, the first death was the couple who adopted him. The husband killed his wife and then committed suicide."

"This is just the beginning of evil." The collector knows Abnormal very well: "The unformed concept of good and evil, and the death that is too easy, let him go from rough venting to pure evil."

"He is extremely strong, and he is also extremely weak."

"After all, only the weak will take 'good guys' as their hunting targets."

"But he is 1-005." Jiang Yiyi said thoughtfully: "Is pure evil enough to make him 1-005?"

"The doctor has experienced it firsthand, hasn't he?" Collector: "The aberrant's sensitivity to human weaknesses is excellent."

"His only mistake was to choose a doctor as his hunting target, which is very stupid." The collector smiled: "After all, doctors are experts in psychology."

"And he should know how bad his mental state is..."

For the abnormal, Jiang Yiyi is his hunting target, so how can he be sure that he is not Jiang Yiyi's hunting target?

Jiang Yiyi still remembers that conversation vividly. Although the other party declared his failure with death in the end, it cannot be concealed. At a certain moment, Jiang Yiyi really had the idea of ​​killing the other party—if that If it becomes a reality, then the other party's purpose will be completely realized.

After a brief pause, the collector brought the topic back: "What the doctor said about 'curing' us is related to fulfilling our obsession?"

Jiang Yiyi nodded, and incidentally answered another question he didn't ask: "And both of these are related to the new world."

"In fact, I am sure that the arrival of the new world will make everything return to the way it should be."

Collector paused briefly for two seconds before continuing: "Let everything go back to what it should have been? This sentence sounds like everything is just a mistake now."

"The doctor has been on the side of the new world from the very beginning." The collector was a little puzzled: "Is it because the old world is bad?"

Jiang Yiyi was silent for two seconds: "In my eyes, there is no difference between the old world and the new world."

"It's not me who makes the choice, it's you."

"Us?" The collector pointed to himself, then to the second floor, and finally pointed to a place outside the independent space: "Which us?"

"Humans." In other words, all the NPCs in this game.

When the protagonist of this game is the new world itself, there is no suspense about the final direction of this game.

This game has an ending set from the beginning, and all NPCs exist for this purpose—of course, the reason why most NPCs in the game exist is to enrich the player's experience, but "Star Prison" is definitely not, Instead, it enriches the game with players.

So, for such things as not being able to make money, the planner must have known it already, right?

Rather than press on the topic, Collector came up with an answer: "So, the doctor is doing the right thing."

"I'm doing what I want to do." Jiang Yiyi corrected him: "Right and wrong are relative concepts, they cannot be simply defined."

"Indeed." The collector agreed with Jiang Yiyi's words: "What do doctors think of this world?"

"This wrong, bad old world."

Jiang Yiyi took back the initiative of the topic: "You have been asking me my opinion on certain things, is it out of the idea of ​​understanding collections?"

The collector answered every question: "Because I have been curious since the beginning, why these eyes exist."

"Why do doctors look at the world like this? Tolerates all right and wrong, good and evil, but there is no doctor himself..."

The collector got closer and stared at the dark eyes, which were pure black without any impurities. If he stared for too long, he would have the illusion of falling into the abyss.

Collector looked away: "This has something to do with the doctor's little secrets, so I want to know the reason."

"Because..." Jiang Yiyi looked down at the body: "This is not my body."

The collector showed a listening attitude.

"It's a piece of data." Jiang Yiyi said plainly, as if he hadn't considered whether the person on the other side could accept such absurd and bizarre reality: "And this world is just a piece of data."

"So, in the eyes of doctors, it's all false."

The collector concluded: "Then, death, blood, and madness are naturally not enough to move the doctor, and all the data here are naturally not of value to make the doctor emotional."

"Is it for this reason that doctors can look at the world with such eyes?"

Jiang Yiyi denied him: "No, I mean, the data can be edited and modified."

"The me you see is not the real me." Jiang Yiyi said calmly, "That's why I chose the new world."

"Even if it is a false existence, it is still not allowed to manipulate other people's lives. Even if this world allows it, I will not allow it."

The collector helped him expand this sentence: "This 'other person's life' should not refer to our virtual data, but to a doctor who has his own body but now exists on a piece of data?"

"Manipulating my life is even less allowed."

Jiang Yiyi denied his words: "Li Yihe's saying is correct, whether this world is a game depends on whether the people in the game can leave the game and return to another world where this game exists."

"If it can, then it's just a game for him; if it can't, then it's a real world for him." Jiang Yiyi paused for two seconds: "There is an irresistible 'supreme will' ' of the real world."

"So, the manipulation of other people's lives in the doctor's words just now refers to..." The collector paused for two seconds, as if to consume what Jiang Yiyi said just now: "We? Human beings in this world?"

"Even in a virtual world, things that shouldn't exist should still be corrected."

The collector restrained his smile and became serious: "I can probably understand why."

Jiang Yiyi was a little surprised by his sudden words.

"Why do doctors have such beautiful eyes; why do abnormal people make risky decisions even though they know they can't succeed; why does Bai Cang stand resolutely on the doctor's side..."

"Because doctors have such a charm."

The collector stared intently at Jiang Yiyi's eyes, and in the depths of those dark eyes, he saw light.

Enough to light up the world.

Jiang Yiyi blinked and broke their gaze.

The collector came to his senses, looked away, and his eyes fell on Jiang Yiyi: "A free and powerful soul, no matter where it is, still exudes dazzling light."

"Doctor, I made a mistake."

"The most valuable thing about a doctor is not the eyes, but the shining soul."

I always feel that the other party has changed from trying to gouge my eyes to trying to kill me.

Jiang Yiyi thought about the collector's brain circuit, and realized in the next second that he would never be able to guess what the psychopath was thinking.

"I know what my obsession is." The collector clapped his hands and said, "I want to see what the new world looks like in the doctor's eyes."

"I want to see what that brilliant soul really looks like."

Following his words, the familiar notification bar jumped in front of Jiang Yiyi again.

"The hidden ending has been unlocked, and the current progress is 5/7."
