My years as a boss

The scene suddenly fell silent, as the main initiator of the conversation - the magician fell into silence, so the scene became more and more quiet.

What a big trouble.

The magician stroked his hair and glanced at the gatekeeper beside him.

The gatekeeper's expression remained unchanged from ancient times, as if any change could not move him, even in the current situation, he still just watched Jiang Yiyi silently.

What's more troublesome is that my leader is still facial paralyzed.

The magician suppressed the sigh in his heart, and also firmly suppressed the fear that arose from Jiang Yiyi's understatement - Jiang Yiyi's words were very simple, but the subtext revealed in them was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

The data summarized by the manager resurfaced in the mind of the magician—ordinary people are weak, but occasionally they can produce miracles beyond imagination, such as being too keen to hit the nail on the head.

["Don't make contact with him, if contact must occur, end the conversation as soon as possible."

"It's best to prevent him from meeting other people in the first place."

"Don't stare into the abyss."]

The three warnings worthy of being regarded as golden rules, under the premise of not knowing Jiang Yiyi's ability, summed up the best solution when facing Jiang Yiyi.

This is an ability user with extremely dangerous connections.

A sane, capable person with his own code of conduct, who has not allowed them to establish a code of conduct so far.

Thinking of this, the magician's head started to hurt. What does the combination of the two mean?

It means that from the first floor to the fourth floor, all the managers can't do anything about him; it means that they have inherited a big trouble; it means that...

The magician let out a long sigh.

It means that every prison guard who comes into contact with Jiang Yiyi is betting on his life - and there is no doubt that he is the one who bears the brunt of it.

Because the magician is Jiang Yiyi's evaluator.

He will be responsible for the entire process of contacting, evaluating, analyzing and reporting Jiang Yiyi after Jiang Yiyi arrives on the fifth floor. This is the treatment that every capable person will receive after coming to the fifth floor, and it is also the reason why the fifth floor exists .

Of course, depending on how powerful the ability user is, the assigned evaluators are also different.

As for the magician who was in charge of evaluating Jiang Yiyi, he was one of the gatekeeper's assistants, and he could also be evaluated as a high-risk existence by the system.

This was the decision they made after they greatly overestimated Jiang Yiyi's danger.

But it now appears that the extent of their overestimation is far from enough.

"Let's go." Jiang Yiyi withdrew his gaze from the second floor and broke the silence: "Aren't you going to the cell?"

The magician came back to his senses and looked at the gatekeeper again.

The gatekeeper makes a decision: "Go to 1-002."

The magician wanted to be surprised by this decision for a few seconds, but the twists and turns and ups and downs of the plot development just now had consumed all his surprise quota, so even if it was the unexpected decision of Room 1-002, the magician just responded with a nod. No waves.

The magician identified the direction and led them towards a building.

A building located in the very center of the fifth floor, surrounded by layers of buildings, as the distance between them and the first floor shortened, some special structures appeared on both sides of the road, small metal balls hanging under the monitor, from the trees The round metal protruding quietly from the branches, the light paint that almost blends with the ground.

It's hard to tell what these things do just by looking at them, but they show up often enough to make sure it's not just a decoration.

As they got closer to one building, the frequency of these things also increased, and they were placed densely around one building, and together with other buildings, they tightly surrounded the building standing alone in the center.

Jiang Yiyi stopped, and as soon as he stopped, everyone stopped too.

The building in front of me is a bit strange, incompatible with the star prison's rigid architectural style, it seems too ostentatious and wanton.

Among the gray buildings, the bright blue color instantly grabs the sight. Different from the flat and tidy style of other buildings, the style of this building in front of you is difficult to describe in specific words.

The wide-opening and closing windows, and the outward-extending outer wall, can't stop being raised up, straight to the top of the sky, making it like a long sword, with a rush of vigor, flattening the lingering space in the Star Prison. of depression.

Jiang Yiyi: "The design of this building...is very interesting."

The lunatic didn't take his eyes off Jiang Yiyi, and naturally he didn't feel anything about this building.

Lin Yi frowned. The sharpness of this building made him feel uncomfortable with needles on his back, and he almost subconsciously raised his attention, alerting to possible dangers.

Upon hearing Jiang Yiyi's words, Jian Si glanced at the building in front of her eyes, and nodded in agreement.

The magician took their respective reactions into his eyes, and then said: "This was designed by the first warden of the star himself."

Jiang Yiyi looked at him sideways: "The one who created Star Prison?"

"That's right, he is the legend that is still circulating in Star Prison." The first person who discovered the ability person, the person who established the current situation, and the person who created the ability person containment and control system.

As a forerunner, everything he did went beyond the limitations of the times, and he was a veritable genius who was a step ahead of the times.

Jiang Yiyi glanced at the magician, and read what he wanted from the exaggerated expression of the other party.

"You admire him very much." Jiang Yiyi's eyes sometimes give people the illusion that they are being dissected, just like at this moment, when the mood fluctuates only for a moment, the magician reacts immediately, firmly suppresses the excess emotions, and leaves Those exaggerated masks.

"Then what did he do?"

Jiang Yiyi didn't want to get an answer from them either, he asked himself thoughtfully and answered: "It must be related to the secret of the lowest level of Star Prison, and the one that makes the fourth floor turbulent. Something to do with jumping down."

The magician looked away and looked forward, pondering the feasibility of sending them in directly by violent means—talking to the doctor is not only a waste of brains, but also may be in danger of life at any time. At that time, he didn't want to have too much communication with Jiang Yiyi at all.

But considering the possible consequences of angering Jiang Yiyi, the magician could only regretfully dismiss this idea.

"In other words, the original intention of Star Prison was to create this secret."

Jiang Yiyi thoughtfully searched for his memory, and as he expected, the memory related to childhood resurfaced - even though he was sure, he didn't have this part in his memory at all.

In the picture are the familiar background of the room, the familiar desktop, and the blurred figure playing computer with his back facing him—the whole scene is like an overly P-rated picture, illusory enough to make people sure that it is false.

Accompanied by the sound of crackling keyboards, Jiang Yiyi's familiar voice babbled again: "Why is the fifth floor so dangerous? Can Jian Si's small body do it? In just a few minutes, he died twice gone."

"Hey, I don't think this is quite right." Fa Xiao seemed to complain: "Jane Si is in my prison, that guy is in the prison opposite to Jian Si, why did Jian Si die in the blink of an eye? Isn’t there a bug in the game? No, I have to call to find out.”

The scene moved meaninglessly, and when the next scene began, Jiang Yiyi heard his own voice.

"Did you understand?" It was his familiar way of speaking, the lazy tone that only appeared when he was talking to acquaintances, he asked casually, without even expecting to get an answer.

"You can't believe how they replied to me." Fa Xiao didn't turn his face from the beginning to the end. He seemed to have a grudge against the keyboard, and he pressed the keyboard extremely vigorously from the beginning to the end. The bgm below filled the audience.

"This is a hidden setting." Fa Xiao squeezed his throat and imitated the tone of customer service, and then continued to complain: "This kind of hell-level survival game, he even made me a hidden setting? What? He hates us Not enough dead?"

"But I have an idea. Why do you think Jian Si is so miserable?" Fa Xiao said: "Why does everyone want to kill him? How much secret does he have to lead to the current tragic situation?"

"Since the protagonist of this game is Jian Si, the hidden settings must have an inseparable relationship with him. Maybe we should solve all the secrets on him!"

The picture is interrupted here, and the blurry scene dissipates in Jiang Yiyi's memory and becomes a part of it.

After that letter, the other party didn't even bother to hide it, and put the problem in front of Jiang Yiyi carelessly.

Jiang Yiyi touched the cold blade on his wrist, showing a very faint smile.

He forgot his fear and confusion, so when he was in an unimaginably bad situation, he still calmly seemed to be admiring the scenery of the world.

Without fear, it is impossible to increase fear; without confusion, it is natural that self-doubt will not spread in unanswered puzzles.

He moved forward resolutely, in the dark tide that surrounded him layer by layer, calmly as if he was the one who planned it.

According to Jiang Yiyi's understanding of his past - it is impossible for an ordinary male college student to do this step, but according to Jiang Yiyi's understanding of himself now, he cannot completely rule out this possibility.

Although it is contradictory to say so——but on the premise of acknowledging his ordinary past, Jiang Yiyi does not deny some extraordinary characteristics in himself today.

Hide settings?Something to do with Jane Si?

Jiang Yiyi glanced at Jian Si.

Jian Si was idly looking at the building in front of him, almost at the second when Jiang Yiyi's gaze fell on him, he turned his head and met Jiang Yiyi's gaze as if he felt something.

Jiang Yiyi can clearly see the other party's confusion and confusion, without any flaws, just like his previous performance - although he is full of mysteries and problems, everyone is sure that he has problems, but at least in terms of his performance , there is no flaw, and it may even lead to other speculations, for example, even if there is a problem, it may not be his own problem.

Jiang Yiyi's thoughts paused here for two seconds, and he noticed something too familiar - an incomparably similar cautiousness.

Jian Si was stared at by Jiang Yiyi for a few seconds, and still didn't know why Jiang Yiyi suddenly looked at him, but he didn't dare to ask anyway, and was even a little flustered by Jiang Yiyi's look, so he forced himself to face Jiang Yiyi's After staring for a few seconds, he decisively chose to lower his head and stare at the ground under his feet.

He felt the gaze shift away.

Jane Si breathed a sigh of relief, and felt fortunate to have escaped from death. Although she stayed by the doctor's side for a while, Jane Si still hadn't overcome her fear of the doctor—no, to be precise, it shouldn't be called fear.

Jian Si has feared countless existences, death, contempt, rumors, and even weak bugs will give him fear.

But Jiang Yiyi is different from these, he is another kind of existence that cannot be touched, which makes Jian Si reborn; makes him stand by Jiang Yiyi's side without hesitation; makes him face death directly, with blood on his hands, and sacrifice everything.

After a short pause, complicated memories and thinking, Jiang Yiyi continued with the previous words: "But the way of building a star prison to hide this secret shows one thing in itself."

"This secret has something to do with people." Jiang Yiyi turned his head and glanced at Jian Si again, the words "Fa Xiao" were still in his ears - [this is a hidden setting], the other party almost handed the answer to him inside.

"But if it is only related to people, it is not necessary to build a star prison-after all, a star prison is the most troublesome and eye-catching choice among all options. And laboratories, research institutes, even schools, are more important than star prisons. Come on, they are all more reasonable and unnoticed existences."

Jiang Yiyi said unhurriedly: "So the setting of Star Prison must have its rationality. For example, this secret is associated with death, blood, and crime."

As Jiang Yiyi's words flowed slowly, the magician's eyes gradually became confused, and finally he couldn't help but look at the gatekeeper who had been indifferent from the beginning to the end.

What's the matter, did he peek at the script?

Why did he say it so easily that the magician almost began to doubt whether this conclusion was really so easy to come to.

Of course, it is not that magicians have never been in contact with geniuses—to be precise, in the building in front of Jiang Yiyi, there are countless geniuses beyond imagination.

The problem is, Jiang Yiyi is different from them.

"For another example, this secret needs sufficient security conditions to be better preserved. It is even very possible that it is not the first Star Warden who does not want to choose other ways to preserve this secret, but that only the Star Prison can satisfy it. All conditions to preserve this secret."

"The answer is already out."

Jiang Yiyi smiled at the magician: "A secret that is owned by a small number of people, exists in the human body, is accompanied by temptation and benefits, death and blood, and even makes the owner lose control."

Jiang Yiyi clasped his hands together, put the pillar in front of his chin, and asked the magician kindly: "Superpower?"

The magician really wanted to smile, but his face was a little stiff, so he had no choice but to carry out the process in a rigid manner—the process of introducing some information to every ability user who came to the fifth floor for the first time.

"I think the doctor should have realized that some of your abilities are beyond the definition of normal people." He paused for a few seconds: "In this vast universe, there are many areas that humans have not yet explored, and what you have This ability is one of them."

"The person who first discovered its existence named the person with this ability as an ability person, and there is no doubt that you are one of them." The introduction of the magician is very simple - in a century of research, they have enough Detailed information and research results, but there is no need to tell the other party all of these.

Hearing this, Jane raised her head and looked at the magician.

Lin Yi turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yiyi. After facing the scene just now, and hearing these introductions again, he was completely unmoved—even if there are a group of superheroes in this world, so what?

The Covenant has not been better because of their existence in the past, and it will not be worse because of their existence in the future.

The lunatic rolled his pupils and had a rare reaction to this sentence.

"We call those who reach the pinnacle in a certain field, even beyond the reach of human beings." The magician noticed that when everyone reacted to this, only Jiang Yiyi himself was calm. As if staying out of it.

"Human beings have limits, but those with abilities break through this limit and become a new kind of human in another sense." The magician watched Jiang Yiyi and said, "There is no doubt that this is a direction of human evolution."

Jiang Yiyi's focus was as sharp as ever: "So, I can reasonably guess, what have you done to the capable people—in order to further understand the new human beings?"

The magician got stuck in his shell. This is not the reaction of normal people after hearing these words—of course it is not the reaction of ability users.

Jiang Yiyi didn't need his answer either: "From disorder to order, from taking control of the initiative to retreating a bit... It seems that the lesson is severe enough to teach you respect and awe."

The magician opened his mouth and closed it again.

"I only have one question." Jiang Yiyi looked at the gatekeeper: "Every capable person imprisoned here has committed a crime? I mean a crime that is enough for them to enjoy life imprisonment."

The gatekeeper nodded: "There are only two things in the world that deeply shake our hearts: one is the bright starry sky above our heads; the other is the lofty moral code in our hearts. (Note)"

"We abide by the law, and we follow the moral standards that human beings should have." The magician pressed the non-existent hat on his head and said: "To be worthy of the heart and the people is the only criterion for the operation of Star Prison."

"Starry sky, morality, law, people." Jiang Yiyi repeated these words softly: "The last piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the ability person problem has also come out."

"As new humans, as pioneers in the direction of human evolution, when they have abilities beyond the limits of human beings, they..." Jiang Yiyi paused: "Did they bear another price?"

It is meaningless to try to deceive Jiang Yiyi in vain - because it cannot be successful at all.

The magician had a deep understanding of the feelings of the managers of the previous floors when they faced Jiang Yiyi—on the first day Jiang Yiyi came to the fifth floor.

An extremely difficult and difficult to talk to.

"That's right, all capable people are lunatics." The magician said simply and clearly: "Although the conditions of insanity are different, there is no doubt that they are all extremely dangerous lunatics."

madman?Jiang Yiyi glanced at Jian Si, and collided with Jian Si's peeking over.

Jane Si (doctor) is not a madman.

The same sentence surfaced in the hearts of Jiang Yiyi and Jian Si.

"There are no exceptions?"

"There are absolutely no exceptions." The magician said firmly.

"Very good, then I am sure of one thing." Jiang Yiyi pointed to himself: "I am not a capable person."

"Doctor, I understand how you feel." The magician's tone was instantly exaggerated: "But look at the ability you showed just now..."

He said euphemistically: "Even the top psychologists can't do this."

Jiang Yiyi took a look at his character skills. Ordinary psychologists are not good, but game characters... Hey, who would be serious about the game settings?

"I also understand how you feel."

Jiang Yiyi also said sincerely: "But I'm really just an ordinary, normal person." He paused for two seconds, and in view of the doubts that would arise from every level of management, he reminded the other party again friendly: "An ordinary and normal good person. "

???

If you say this, do you believe it yourself?

The magician stared at Jiang Yiyi for a few seconds, and discovered something even more terrifying—the other party not only believed it, but even believed it for granted.

The magician was at a loss for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized—could this be one of the symptoms of the doctor's madness?

Delusional to be a good person?

It was as if the meridian had been opened up in an instant, and the magician felt that he had discovered a secret that no one knew-so the doctor was so crazy?

And what's crazier than a doctor thinking he's a normal, normal, nice guy?

But if someone thinks so, please ask the other party to look at the scene of the death of the lone wolf, Jian Si who tremblingly followed behind the doctor, and the prisoner whose body is not yet cold, presumably he will instantly understand the absurdity of this idea place.

Jiang Yiyi couldn't see the epiphany in the magician's mind, but he could at least see the exaggerated expression changes on the magician's face—he always felt that the other party had imagined something very important.

He reflected on what he said just now for two seconds, and felt that what he said was a little too modest.

Compared to his simple description, to put it bluntly, he is even a person who suffers from too high a moral standard.

For example, if you give up trying the "archive function" because you made a promise, any person on earth in the 21st century can feel Jiang Yiyi's noble moral standards from this choice.

But it seems that none of the people present can resonate with Jiang Yiyi in the same way—of course, it may be because none of them are earthlings in the 21st century.

The author has something to say: Note: There are only two things in the world that deeply shock our hearts: one is the bright starry sky above our heads; the other is the lofty moral code in our hearts.This quote comes from Immanuel Kant's Critique of Practical Reason.
