When he opened his eyes again, it was still the familiar dimly lit lounge. Ruan Jiyan reacted and felt no pain or wounds on his body.

She sat up on the recliner and found that her body was fine, her clothes were not torn by the blade, and there were no wounds on her body.

My sight gradually fell to the ground. There was no pool of blood, only a lonely knife lying on the ground.

Ruan Jiyan was a little surprised that she was not dead.

She originally thought that the system disappeared because of a bug, and it turned out that there was a bug. She thought that when she was dying, the system would sense the danger of the host and then appear, but she didn't expect that she could be resurrected after death.

This is a good thing, but Ruan Jiyan is not sure whether this is a bug or a skill she accidentally possessed.

It was unknown whether this resurrection skill could be used infinitely or only a few times. If it was the latter, she had already used it once. She would have to be more careful in future games and not put herself in a dead end unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, Ruan Jiyan thought again, now that the system that bound her to it had disappeared, did that mean that her game missions had not been released by the system? In other words, she could choose to return to the real world after dying in the game, so she had no desire to survive now.

She might as well just die. She can return to the real world anyway. She can't stay here any longer.

Thinking of this, Ruan Jiyan slowly walked closer, bent down to pick up the knife, and then stabbed it in again without hesitation.

Her body was transparent. Ruan Jiyan could see the location of his heart by lifting her clothes. His abdomen felt empty, but his heart was still there, beating violently.

This death was much more relaxing than the previous suicide, probably because I thought I would be able to return to the real world soon.

This time, in order to die faster, Ruan Jiyan used all her strength to stab the knife into her body. The handle of the knife was pushed in a lot, blood gushed out, and soon Ruan Jiyan lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Jiyan closed her eyes and gradually regained consciousness. She didn't open her eyes but felt that it was dark around her. She first touched her body to make sure there were no wounds. Guessing that she had returned to the real world, she slowly opened her eyes.

But the scene before me was the same as before, still in the dim lounge.

The emotion in Ruan Jiyan's eyes disappeared and became indifferent.

She stood up and stopped struggling to explore the secret of death. She just picked up the knife and put it back in the drawer of the cabinet.

She sat on the recliner and began to think, trying to find out the truth hidden under this weirdness.

If resurrection is really a privilege, then the first time can be explained, but the second time is a bit weird.

If too many people have a privilege, it becomes a vulgar privilege. Even if you have it too many times, it is no longer a privilege. Moreover, she could clearly remember that she had not completed any tasks and even did something that should have been punished. It was impossible for the game to reward her instead of punishing her.

It is even more impossible that it was the system that was helping her. The system had disappeared long ago and it was impossible for it to suddenly appear and open a protection layer for her.

So... it's really a bug?

Before I could think this through, someone came to the door. I could hear the sound of guns rubbing against clothes, shoes stepping on the ground, and people talking.

Ruan Jiyan heard Dr. Al's voice. His tone was not very good and his attitude sounded a bit tough.

The next second, the door of the lounge opened and Ruan Jiyan saw a lot of people outside the door.

Dr. Al was still talking to the leading soldier, and the two were about to quarrel.

"I told you that it's not appropriate for her to be here in this situation. Her condition is not very good either. Maybe stress will trigger other aspects of her consciousness!" Dr. El wanted to stop the leading soldier.

The soldier looked serious and his attitude was still very tough. "We are performing official duties, Dr. Al, please cooperate with us!"

"With so many of you here, who would be responsible if she got scared and something unexpected happened?"

"Captain Baimei's body disappeared inexplicably, and she is the most likely suspect!"

"She has been in the lab the entire time, and has been with me most of the time. I know best whether she is suspicious or not!"

The two people were arguing when Ruan Jiyan slowly walked over. There was confusion and wariness on her face. She didn't know why these people came back to the laboratory again, and there were still so many of them.

In a flash, all the soldiers outside the door raised their guns in unison, and the black muzzles of the guns were pointed at Ruan Jiyan's head.

Ruan Jiyan became defensive, his body straightened as he stared at Dr. El.

In this situation, Dr. Al could only give them advice verbally but could not actually stop them, and he understood the reason.

The leading soldier raised his hand, stretched out two fingers and bent them to signal the team members behind him to step forward and detain Nguyen Ji Yan.

He said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Ruan Jiyan, please come with us for the investigation."

Ruan Jiyan asked him coldly, "Captain Baimei's body has not been found, but now you are arguing in the laboratory and want to take me to investigate. Do you have time?"

The soldier who was asked the question was stunned by her question and paused for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

“…”

"We... suspect there is another conspiracy behind this matter. We still have some questions that we haven't asked you yet. As for some details about the battle at Liuhe Research Institute on that day, please come with us." The leading soldier stepped forward and explained to her.

Ruan Jiyan did not move. Dr. El walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "Jiyan, go with them. These people suspect that you are related to the disappearance of Captain Baimei's body. If you go with them for questioning, it will also clear your suspicion."

“…”

Ruan Jiyan didn't move. He thought for two seconds before speaking: "I'll go with you."

The soldiers in front of him were obviously much more relaxed, but Dr. Al's face showed some pain and confusion. He looked at Ruan Jiyan's eyes with some struggle, and finally he just turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

She didn't know why Dr. Al had such an expression, as if he had betrayed someone, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

She said goodbye to Dr. Eyre slowly: "Don't worry, Doctor, I will be back soon."

However, what Ruan Ji Yan didn’t know was that once she walked out of the underground laboratory this time, she would never have the chance to come back.

Nguyen Ji Yan stood in the middle, surrounded by soldiers with guns. She followed them to a place she had never been to before.

Looking at the tall building in front of her, Ruan Jiyan was a little confused. The soldier stopped and looked at her, "Please come in."

She followed him into the elevator and went up to the eleventh floor. The elevator stopped at the floor and the door opened with a ding.

Only then did Ruan Jiyan see the appearance of the building, the dim corridor, and each room had a layer of iron bars in front of the door for secondary protection. There were only four rooms on each floor, and you could see from the outside that the rooms were of different sizes. When he walked out of the elevator, Ruan Jiyan clearly felt a damp chill coming from the soles of his feet.

She could smell the dry dust in the air, her nose felt a little itchy, and she couldn't help sneezing.

When they reached the second room from the stairs, the soldier took out the key from his pocket and opened the two doors, leaving only a crack. He motioned for Ruan Jiyan to go in by himself.

Ruan Jiyan watched him walk forward step by step. He opened the door a little more until Ruan Jiyan was fully inside, and then slammed the door shut.

Ruan Jiyan was not surprised by their actions, but she did not expect that they would leave her in such an empty room with only one chair.

Something was added to the walls of the room, and Ruan Jiyan could not hear any sound from outside. Not only in the room, but the entire floor was quiet.

She walked to the chair and sat down, looking around. The wall in front of her was a glass wall, which gave her an indescribable feeling. She stared at the point in front of her.

The glass wall is one-way glass, and people outside can see what is going on inside, but people inside cannot see what is going on outside, so Ruan Jiyan was already being watched by the person behind the glass when he stepped into the room.

They said they wanted to investigate and question her, but no one came until dawn and Ruan Jiyan was the only one in the room.

Ruan Jiyan has encountered this situation many times, but before, she had the system by her side and the system could talk to her. Now she is alone, with no one to talk to and nothing else to do.

It is true that people can become sick from being idle. It is not just about being idle, but the kind of idleness that means not having to do anything, not having to think about anything, and not even having to use your eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

Not to mention that Ruan Jiyan is a person with many thoughts and ideas. Now we can no longer simply define her as a human being. She is a monster, and a monster that is easily irritated.

She stayed in this space for the next week. No one came to see her, and she couldn't hear any movement from any living creature.

On the fifth day, she was already feeling very uneasy. This absolutely silent space would make people feel fear and uneasiness. In this environment, she thought of many things that happened in the past. Those painful and unbearable memories hit her mind one after another. When she felt uncomfortable, she would scream heartbreakingly.

After that, she kept shouting every day until her throat was torn. The severe pain felt like a blade cutting her throat, and she even had trouble opening her mouth.

After the system disappeared, her pain sensation slowly began to recover. After just a few days, her pain became more and more obvious. Now, even lightly scratching her skin with her fingernails hurts her terribly.

On the seventh day, Ruan Jiyan finally couldn't stand it anymore and smashed the chair, which was the second thing in the room besides her.

The wooden square chair was smashed into pieces when she threw it hard onto the one-way glass. The wooden square chair was broken into pieces, and some wood chips flew everywhere, but the thick one-way glass was completely intact.

Ruan Jiyan was very annoyed and was about to approach the glass when a sharp and piercing sound suddenly rang out in the whole room.

It rushed straight into the brain like tinnitus, so sharp and piercing that it seemed to tear the human soul apart.

She immediately covered her ears, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell to her knees, struggling in pain.

The sound continued for a minute. Ruan Jiyan felt his temples throbbing and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

When the sound finally stopped, she was already lying on the ground, sweating all over, and her whole body looked as if she had been possessed by her soul.

She struggled to get up, and stood up, staring at the glass, as if she was looking at the person behind the glass.

Her eyes were full of determination and stubbornness. She finally understood that the purpose of these people bringing her here was not simple at all.

They told the outside world that they were looking for her for questioning, and they brought her here to punish her. It was a punishment for her betraying the base and joining the Liuhe Research Institute, a punishment for her betraying humans and turning into a monster, a punishment for her losing control and hurting Chen Xi and Captain Baimei, and a punishment for her breaking into Captain Baimei's ward without permission.

They wanted her to atone for her sins.

However, none of these things were her own will, so why should she be held responsible for all of them?

Ruan Jiyan looked at the glass and smiled silently. That smile was cold and creepy.

Afterwards, the hateful voice rang out again. Ruan Jiyan held his head in agony, but he still raised his middle finger to the person behind the glass and even forced himself to spit.

They no longer pretended, and Ruan Jiyan no longer had to be kind to them.

Finally, Ruan Jiyan fell to the cold ground and passed out in pain.
