My years as a boss

The simulated ecological layer in the personal space faithfully shows the changes brought about by the passage of time, the light gradually dims, and the afternoon dusk is quiet and peaceful, elongating the shadows of Jiang Yiyi and his party, twisting them into monsters with teeth and claws on the ground.

Jiang Yiyi casually walked forward. When he entered a certain area, he suddenly noticed an abnormality that made him pause. He took back his steps and looked at the lush lawn in front of him.

The road planning in the independent space is unique. They had just walked through the flat stone slabs, but they stepped into the green lawn in front of them. The road was hidden under the lawn, making it difficult to distinguish.

Bai Cang stared at the tiny traces on the grass for a few seconds, not sure: "Anomaly?"

The god of death followed and glanced in front of his eyes.

There is nothing unusual about the swaying grass, and the vast land is extremely calm, but within their field of vision, those traces are clearly visible at a glance——the traces left by human activities are reshaped in their field of vision, constructing a pattern of people walking on this road. All silhouette shapes for .

The number is not many, to be precise, there are only four, excluding them, there is one more - not long ago, another person walked along this road towards the research institute.

The Grim Reaper's gaze gradually shifted along the traces left by the other party, and finally fell into the distance.

In his eyes, the illusory figure moved forward calmly, and the footsteps on the ground were extremely light, which was different from the usual walking posture.

It does look a lot like outliers.

Death shook his head, a smile appeared on his silent face, and his tone was relaxed: "He knew we would find out, so he changed his walking posture specially, trying to mislead us."

Jiang Yiyi was different from them, he didn't have the vision they had, and he couldn't use those tiny traces to reconstruct the appearance of the other party at that time. In his eyes, there was nothing abnormal about this lawn.

But this did not prevent him from staring ahead for a while, and then came to the answer: "The mask is following."

Death looked sideways at Jiang Yiyi, showing an exaggerated smile: "He went to the research institute?"

Reaper shook his head and repeated: "The situation is a bit bad."

Bai Cang was more concerned about things related to Jiang Yiyi: "How did the doctor see that it was a mask?"

Jiang Yiyi turned around and walked towards the research institute, with the same pace as before, without any urgency.

"It's not obvious."

"He stopped there for a while." So much so that the familiar smell of blood and madness remained there.

Bai Cang didn't get an answer, and he didn't mind, then Jiang Yiyi said: "There is nothing worth stopping him there. He did this to avoid the doctor?"

It is meaningless to speculate on the thoughts of a madman, because the other party may stop for a certain purpose, or it may be because he wants to stop here. No one can stop the person who can naturally jump between a madman and a genius. His thoughts make accurate judgments.

Jiang Yiyi's attention shifted to another point: "Your ability is still working?"

"no doubt."

"Then the situation might not be too bad." Jiang Yiyi said to himself, "I'm rather surprised that your ability can last for so long?"

Regarding the first half of his sentence, Reaper has a different view: "On the contrary, the situation is only an inch away from getting out of control."

Without waiting for Jiang Yiyi to ask, Bai Cang took over the conversation: "Since Cang Wendong is the manager of the research institute, it may not develop into the worst situation."

Bai Cang paused for a moment, and answered Jiang Yiyi's last question: "I'm also surprised by this."

Bai Cang glanced at Jiang Yiyi: "In the beginning, that is, before the doctor appeared, my ability, coverage and duration were very limited, and the more people with abilities, the easier it is for me to lose control - and my loss of control often leads to the situation deteriorating to an even more irreversible point."

"So, in the past, most of the time, it could only be used as a backup plan in case of emergency."

"But after the doctor appeared..." Bai Cang rigorously corrected the time period: "To be precise, in the North District, after the doctor helped me out of the out-of-control state, the situation changed."

"In the case of using the ability for a long time, I didn't lose control." Bai Cang glanced at Jiang Yiyi again: "It seems that the limit has been raised again, allowing me to use the ability for a long time."

In this case, Jiang Yiyi's focus is still very clear: "But the inspection by the institute didn't find this change?"

"Having too much hope for it is a lot of unnecessary things." The corner of Bai Cang's mouth was slightly hooked, without the slightest smile: "Because it is not even as useful as Li Yihe."

Jiang Yiyi saw the shadow of the Institute standing on the ground from a distance.Hearing this, I was a little surprised: "What direction of human evolution is Nakong Yueze exploring?"

"Exploring the direction of human evolution is beyond the highest level of technology currently possessed by the Star Alliance." Bai Cang looked in front of his eyes and said casually: "Those weak efforts cannot see the real miracle."

Jiang Yiyi agreed: "That's why Kong Yueze retreated so quickly."

Bai Cang's smile was a little more genuine: "He knows very well that the only person who can really open this door is a doctor."

"And what they can do is to grasp as much information as possible 'behind the door' before a worse future, or a brand new world comes."

Bai Cang narrowed his eyes, and the research institute gradually showing its true content came into his eyes, as calm as ever, without any abnormalities.

"In fact, there are different voices among the researchers." Bai Cang: "About this so-called evolution, whether it is human's self-selection or some kind of external influence."

"They tend to think that this is the self-selection of human beings, because if it is an external influence, then what they are facing will be upgraded from the loss of control of human beings to an 'unknown danger' far beyond the technological level of the Covenant."

Jiang Yiyi stopped and looked towards the peaceful research institute ahead.

Death concluded: "It seems that he has already entered."

Based on Jiang Yiyi's personal experience of the institute's cumbersome and intensive identity verification and ubiquitous surveillance just now, he has a personal experience of the institute's degree of caution.

Under this dual physical and physical identity verification plus monitoring without dead ends, the suppressed ability is almost equivalent to the mask of an ordinary person. How on earth did he enter the research institute by other means?

Is it really worthy of being 1-008?

Bai Cang stepped forward and rang the communicator.

The communicator flickered for a moment, unfolded the screen suspended in the air, and Cang Wendong's face appeared, behind him was the oval-shaped laboratory that Jiang Yiyi and the others had just seen.

"Doctor?" Cang Wendong frowned slightly: "What else do you need..."

Jiang Yiyi's eyes swept over the busy researchers behind him, and got straight to the point: "The mask has come in."

Cang Wendong's brows were furrowed instantly, and before he could say anything, an unusually cheerful voice sounded behind him.

"The doctor's response is really timely." Among the busy white coats behind Cang Wendong, someone poked his head out, swayed to Cang Wendong's side, and became the focus of the lens.

He wore the same uniform as the other researchers, and the protective mask covering his entire face concealed his appearance, which made him blend into the researchers very naturally.

In fact, Jiang Yiyi was also a little surprised by the reactions of other researchers.

They didn't care about the appearance of the mask at all—except for Cang Wendong, who was frowning at the moment as if he had encountered an unsolvable problem—when the mask dangled in front of the screen, there were researchers Obstructing the road, and moved away dissatisfied.

"I haven't read the data yet." The mask put his hand on Cang Wendong's shoulder, and talked enthusiastically to Jiang Yiyi: "The amount of data is beyond my imagination, I thought..."

He pulled off the protective mask on his head, revealing a somewhat unfamiliar face. The mask reached out to rub his cheeks, rubbing off a layer of mud, and changed back to Jiang Yiyi's familiar appearance.

"I thought they would hide something in the personal space dominated by doctors." The mask's tone was exaggerated, like a real actor, putting on a good show in the center of the stage.

"Unexpectedly, I actually underestimated them." The mask waved and said, "The gentleman is magnanimous... It's just that I didn't have time to read it."

Cang Wendong frowned: "You should know that you are breaking into a classified area illegally."

The mask tilted his head: "Really?"

He raised his tone, yin and yang frustratingly said: "I just discovered this, ah~ Do I have to take unimaginable responsibility for this~"

Jiang Yiyi's mind, which was always spinning, stagnated in front of this scene.

Of course, he knows that the mask is not just the appearance he saw at first, or to be precise, every capable person, including the abnormal ones, Jiang Yiyi has never really deeply understood their abnormal side.

Jiang Yiyi is well prepared for this, but the problem is that the exaggerated tone and facial expressions of the mask are far from the previous performance.

"Would I add a few short years to my long sentence~"

Cang Wendong knew the information about the mask better than Jiang Yiyi, and he had no feelings for his dramatic performance, which came as he said, and he could even calmly warn the other party: "The doctor is responsible for this." A mask that should have been restrained by Jiang Yiyi.

The mask's exaggerated facial expressions disappeared in an instant, and the speed was fast enough to make people doubt the scene they had just seen.

"It sounds like you're threatening the doctor?"

Through the video, Jiang Yiyi and the others couldn't accurately perceive the oppressive atmosphere in the laboratory, accompanied by the shadow of death that froze for a moment, covering the scene.

The deterioration of the situation at the scene is more intuitively reflected in the fact that the researchers, who have been keeping nothing to do with their own affairs and focusing on their busyness, suddenly stop their movements, skillfully start to pack their things, and retreat quickly.

This whole set of procedures was extremely fast because they were too proficient, so that Jiang Yiyi, who had witnessed this scene, opened his mouth, and they disappeared into the laboratory with a bunch of scientific research instruments and materials.

Cang Wendong never let go of his frown. He looked out of the screen, as if he wanted to say something.

But before that, the mask's hand on his shoulder swiped quickly...

The whole process, from the mask's sudden reversal, to the collective retreat of the researchers, to the sudden movement of the mask, although described as a complicated chain, in fact, the whole process happened in an instant, and Jiang Yiyi's words were still Before landing, Cang Wendong faced the threat of death.

Cang Wendong stretched out his hand, held the hand extended by the mask, and stopped his next move.

The masquerade paused, and showed him a bright smile.

Cang Wendong reacted very quickly, and immediately withdrew his hand.

"Ding" sounded crisply.

Jiang Yiyi's eyebrows twitched, and his words fell to the ground at this time: "Masquerade."

Masquerade turned the pen slowly, allowing the tip of the pen to be deeply inserted into the table. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled at Jiang Yiyi: "Doctor, I didn't kill him."

Jiang Yiyi lowered his eyes and landed on the hand nailed to the table.

Mask's weapon is a pen—probably a pen he picked up at the research institute.

Just now the scene changed too fast, Jiang Yiyi didn't see the pen clearly, but judging from the scene in front of him, it might not be just a pure pen.

The mask continued: "I know that doctors are cooperating with Star Prison, they have a need to exist."

The other hand of the mask pressed Cang Wendong's wrist, keeping him in this position.

"But this guy is so annoying." The mask muttered childishly: "He threatened the doctor."

Speaking of this, Masquerade slowly turned the pen, and the next second, he directly pulled out the pen, brought a string of blood beads, and drew a gorgeous arc in front of the camera.

Even through the screen, one could smell the threat spreading from it.

The mask stabbed Cang Wendong with a backhand, and Cang Wendong retreated quickly, but in the fight just now, Cang Wendong was completely suppressed by the mask, which clearly demonstrated the difference in force value between them.

Just like at this moment, Cang Wendong backed away quickly, but he didn't widen the distance between them. On the contrary, the mask easily caught up with him, and the waving hand fell directly on his neck.

During their little chase, Jiang Yiyi managed to see the whole picture of the pen - there were clear traces of temporary modification, something was installed on the nib, and it showed an abnormal sharp length, making it from the writing point. A harmless tool turned into a lethal weapon.

This time, Jiang Yiyi didn't speak again, but calmly watched the mask's next move.

The tip of the pen hangs directly above the throat, and the sharp needle at the front end pierces the flesh, leaving a drop of blood hanging in the air.

The mask retracted the hippie smile just now, lowered his voice, and said through gritted teeth: "Threat the doctor in front of me, do you want to die?"

Cang Wendong didn't act rashly, he understood these ability users - apart from what Jiang Yiyi knew, he understood their unforgivable crimes even more.

Every ability user who is trapped in the lowest level of the Star Prison will die without regret.

He never changed his mind.

"If you really defend the doctor so faithfully, you shouldn't be here."

Cang Wendong does not have the fear and timidity of facing death—of course, it is hard to say who in this independent space is afraid of death.

"You violated the doctor's will." Cang Wendong maintained this posture, and said sharply: "Just to satisfy your whim."

"So, before you can't wait to express your attitude because of my threat to the doctor, you should be clear that the problem lies with you, not me."

"A lot of babbling."

The mask shakes his body nonchalantly, and the range of motion is so large that it is hard not to worry that the pen tip in his hand will inadvertently fulfill his destiny and bring death.

But this concern is somewhat unnecessary.

His hand was steady, steady enough to maintain the threat of death without carrying it out.

"Only a doctor is qualified to make such an evaluation." The mask moved closer, staring at Cang Wendong and said: "As for you..."

He let go of his hand casually, and the tip of the pen drew a long bloodstain on Cang Wendong's throat, and finally fell to the ground with a soft sound.

"Just accept my warning."

The mask laughed until his whole body trembled, and his tone became exaggerated again: "I can restrain myself once because the doctor's noble morality restrains me, but I won't restrain myself a second time."

He happily turned around on the spot, returned to the camera, and finished the second half of his sentence: "After all, my sentence has been so long that I don't need to care about the mere decades."

Cang Wendong picked up the murder weapon on the ground, turned a blind eye to the wound on his body, and issued another order to evict: "You should leave here."

"No problem." The mask stared at him, walked backwards towards the door, took a few steps, and seemed to ask casually: "A friendly reminder, we have reached a consensus, right?"

Cang Wendong twitched the corners of his mouth, knowing better than Jiang Yiyi the meaning of the other party's words: "Trouble with the doctor, such unnecessary behavior will not happen."

"After all, for us, the necessity of continued cooperation is far more important than your whim."

The author has something to say: [A possibly redundant explanation]

Masquerade suddenly turned his face because of Cang Wendong's words, "The one who is responsible for this is the doctor."

What this sentence means is that Mask’s sentence is long enough to ignore the consequences of “illegally breaking into a confidential area”, but Jiang Yiyi can’t, which is enough for them to bring Jiang Yiyi back to Star Prison.

Therefore, Masquerade suddenly turned his face.

In the end, he stopped because he fully expressed his attitude and threatened Cang Wendong with death.

"A friendly little reminder that we're on the same page, right?"

And Cang Wendong's answer showed his attitude, "Trouble with the doctor, such unnecessary behavior, will not happen."

Therefore, Jiang Yiyi will not be responsible for "the mask illegally intruded into the confidential area", and he does not need to bear the consequences.
