Information distortion happens in an instant
While setting up the formation, Lin Shu curiously asked Ji Yunding why he didn't take the entrance exam.
"Because I suddenly forgot how to say this word, and it's so awkward to speak English with foreigners."
Ji Yunding said this, looking helplessly at Chloe who was watching curiously.
"Especially when I just said a few words, I was praised for my good English... In Ji Liuxing's words, the standard for being praised is so low that it feels like the standard for selecting monkeys. The same goes for Group 1. Why do you like to praise me so much?"
Ji Yunding certainly didn't think Chloe had any ill intentions, but she was really not used to this level of encouragement and education - including the praise from her in the group, which made her want to shrink every time.
The strange thing is that she knew that she actually liked the feeling of being praised, but she subconsciously wanted to avoid it. It was only with great difficulty that she slowly adapted to it with her strong self-control ability.
"This is spoiling. It's normal for people to want to praise others without any reason just because they like them. I'm sorry, boss, but you have to bear with it."
Lin Shu squatted beside and watched. She was not good at formations, but she could still get a rough idea of what was going on. Ji Liuxing was in charge of the base painting work at the other end. When he saw Ji Yunding's face wrinkled a little, he couldn't help laughing.
On the other hand, when someone like Ji Yunding receives compliments from someone he doesn't care about, he definitely won't react in this way. He will probably just ignore them like he did when he received a bunch of letters before.
"Chloe asked how to drive such a large machine. Can you tell her?"
Shen Yi interjected, signaling in Chloe's direction with his eyes.
As mentioned before, although the carriers and forms of the mysterious powers of each country are completely different, their essence is almost the same. Chloe can also see that the amount of blood required to drive the formation in front of them should not be something they can afford.
"Tell her, otherwise she will have a hard time explaining herself when she returns."
Ji Liuxing said as he squatted down and rolled up his sleeves a little, then raised his head and reported to Ji Yunding,
"This doesn't count as removing professional equipment, so there's no special feeling."
But even so, with his skin exposed to the extremely low temperature, Ji Liuxing's left wrist quickly showed signs of frostbite. But he didn't care, he just cut a wound with his dagger, and watched the blood droplets hit the formation and automatically spread along the pattern drawn with chalk.
"No needle required?"
Ji Yunding took out his backpack and handed over the blood-drawing needle. Theoretically, this can minimize the amount of blood used. However, Ji Liuxing seemed to be used to direct bloodletting and didn't remember it for a moment.
It was very troublesome to bleed outdoors at this temperature. Ji Liuxing took the needle with his other hand, found another blood vessel and inserted it, while he shook his left hand to get rid of the frozen blood.
To be honest, although Ji Liuxing looked lonely and a little aggrieved when he told Ji Yunding that his blood and organs could not be matched with any human - which was understandable because it further confirmed that he was a lonely monster, but Ji Yunding was relieved after hearing it.
Otherwise, with Ji Liuxing's twisted personality, it's hard to say how he would torture himself. Just like now, Ji Yunding reached out to support Ji Liuxing who was about to fall, and sighed.
"Take your time, don't rush. There's no news from outside yet, and you can't get out even if you finish it."
A needle can absorb exactly 400 milliliters, plus the blood that Ji Liuxing had previously let out, it was almost reaching the danger line.
"It's okay, you'll be back in ten minutes."
Ji Liuxing pulled up his sleeves to cover the marks of frostbite - due to blood loss, his recovery ability was reduced, and the scars that had not yet healed looked a bit ugly.
Ji Yunding already understood that Ji Liuxing's behavior was because he thought that everything would be fine after a while, so he kept torturing himself to the point of death.
If humans could fly, there would be no stairs; if humans had no eyesight, there would be no glasses. Similarly, for people who will not die unless their heart and brain are pierced, their only concept of the consequences of injury will be pain.
It doesn't matter if your hands or arms are broken, or if half of your body is cut off, or if your blood vessels are removed one by one, as long as the pain is over, everything will be fine.
"Recovering later is a matter for the future. It won't make you feel any better now. It will still hurt a lot right now."
"I know, I'm not stupid."
Ji Liuxing was unable to stand steadily and was supported, but he still had the energy to joke. For some reason, Ji Yunding felt that he seemed to be in a good mood.
"He built a group based on this. This guy promised us that he would never die without saying hello."
Lin Shu pointed at Ji Liuxing and sighed helplessly.
"For a group in that chaotic era, Ji Liuxing was like an anchor. The sense of security that 'he will definitely not die' was something that no one else could provide at the time."
Can you really feel the security that you will not die? Ji Yunding felt that in her impression, Ji Liuxing seemed to die secretly if left alone.
But if I think about it carefully, if we just talk about the difficulty of killing...it is quite difficult to kill.
Ji Liuxing recovered a little, stood up straighter, let out a long breath, and seeing Ji Yunding's conflicted expression he could roughly guess what she was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he explained in a low voice.
"Because I'm a good liar. I've been trying very hard to play this role."
Since all of life is woven of deception, why not make this lie more perfect and practical? This is roughly how Ji Liuxing treats himself.
"Is that so? That really can't be helped. After all, we are civil servants who work and get paid."
Ji Yunding nodded. In her opinion, for a job like this where you can earn what others earn in a lifetime in just one month, it is only fair that you have to work very hard during working hours.
"But let's go back and buy a cake to eat together. Hasn't your sense of taste recovered better recently?"
Pragmatists don't consider all these trivial troubles. They think it's natural to get paid for work and just want to live a good life after get off work.
What? Confused about your own existence? Master Yunding couldn't understand this question and could only prescribe a dose of hash browns and cake.
It took about an hour for this large formation to take shape. Chloe couldn't help shaking her head when she saw Ji Liuxing bleeding several thousand milliliters of blood and still smiling like nothing had happened.
I knew that the investigators from this country were the most monstrous, but seeing it with my own eyes was still a bit shocking. What was Ji Yunding like, who was even stronger than this guy?
Ji Yunding suddenly felt a burning gaze and turned around to meet Chloe's eyes.
"If you have a chance, come and talk to us," Chloe invited.
"That's fine with me, but you guys..."
Ji Yunding hesitated and shook his head. It was one thing for investigators to refuse to let international disputes involve them, and it was another thing for countries to be at odds with each other. Ji Yunding had cut off communication with Chloe and her country at the investigator level long ago.
"So there is a chance. What if?"
Chloe shrugged and sighed deeply. Compared with Ji Yunding, her position was more delicate and she was often asked to do something dirty.
...It's obvious that they are not fighting with the intention of hurting others.
"I always feel a lot more relaxed when I'm with you guys."
Chloe lifted Ji Yunding and spun him around. Although Ji Yunding was not used to close contact with strangers and wanted to break free, he held back when he saw Chloe's expression.
She looked like she was neither smiling nor crying, and seemed a little sad.
"By the way, what is this formation called and what is it used for? Please tell me about it so I can report back."
“No name, only a message.”
Ji Yunding stood firmly on the ground, stretched his arms, and looked at the narrow crack in the rock wall that was completely blocked by the formation and led to the bottomless rift valley.
"Souls are of equal weight. People are not born equal, but they are equal in life and death."
Chloe was stunned for a moment, looking at Ji Yunding, waiting for her to continue explaining.
"This formation is a mother-child formation. I cannot tell you the location of the mother formation. When someone steps onto the child formation, if there is someone on the mother formation, both of them will die at the same time."
A minimalist version of one life for another. It just so happens that the drug-related death row prisoners can be placed directly on it to save energy. Ji Yunding suddenly remembered the unspeakable things in the car, and he felt nervous unconsciously.
Forget it, it's not convenient to go back now, it will increase the risk, and the car has been crashed like that. Usually, this kind of thing will disappear by itself the next time a ghost story is started... It should be fine, I think.
This was the most uneasy time for Ji Yunding in his three years of work. In order to divert his attention, Ji Yunding looked into the depths of the gap, only to find it bottomless, with one or two faint calls occasionally echoing in his ears.
And from the beginning, Chen Yi had been translating absentmindedly. After noticing Ji Yunding looking over there, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"There's someone over there."
Ji Yunding was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Shen Yi.
"Someone? How many?"
"It's not just a few people, it's just someone. If there is someone, it's just someone..."
Chen Yi scratched his head, seeming to be troubled about how to explain to people with different senses.
"It's just, people, I feel people, there are people behind this."
"Filled?" Ji Yunding noticed this unusual word and used it as a breakthrough to ask, "Does it mean, like air?"
"Almost, but not quite. It's just... people, existing there."
Ji Yunding turned to look at Ji Liuxing, hoping that he would use his mind reading skill to explain it a little, but this time Ji Liuxing obviously didn't understand either. He just looked at the gap and shook his head.
"Chen Yi's sensory system is different from ours. To this day, the analysis team still doesn't understand how her five senses work."
Shen Yi looked at the gap for a while, then looked at Ji Yunding.
"And the closer I get to this side, the more I get a feeling... you're standing here, but no humans exist here. And there's no such feeling outside."
Because they are not really human...
Ji Yunding didn't expect that this was something that could be "felt". She didn't subconsciously take two steps back, but tilted her head and continued to look like she didn't understand.
Shen Yi stared at Ji Yunding for a while, then glanced at Ji Liuxing and shook his head.
"Forget it. It's normal for people with the last name Ji to feel vague."
It was only then that Ji Yunding realized that, because she was so different from the people in the civilized world, everyone outside her group tacitly classified her as a member of the aristocratic family. This was a blessing in disguise.
Shen Yi pondered for a while, pointed at the small black tributary, and then pointed at the river of light before the black tributary.
"These are people, and anything before that is not human."
"So, this is where the dead stay?"
Lin Shu understood this and was stunned for a moment, then he looked towards the gap with a nostalgic look on his face.
"Well, there are still many people I want to meet in there, but I'll have to wait until next time. I don't know how many months this time will take."
After all, if these people died here, it would really turn into an international dispute.
Ji Yunding did not join in the conversation while waiting, but was silent, thinking about something, and then suddenly spoke.
"If everyone could be reasonable, then those two people wouldn't have to die."
"In theory, yes, but it's no use thinking about it."
Lin Shu put his arm around Ji Yunding's shoulders and sighed.
"People like us can only play with our brains with strange stories. People outside play dirty, so don't play with them, Boss."
"No, it just suddenly occurred to me." Ji Yunding shook his head, looked at the message on the communication talisman, and sighed.
Just think about it.
The ghost-like child whose face could not be seen clearly led them along the way. There were inexplicably many forks in the road and strange signs. Ji Yunding did not understand them, so he asked Chen Yi and found out that this was an air-raid shelter.
As he walked along, Ji Yun responded to other people's words from time to time and kept an eye on his surroundings, but he couldn't help but think of another thing.
After staying in a group for a long time, I really thought that this was a fairy tale world, as if as long as the ghost story was solved, the hero would defeat the devil, and everything would end naturally, and everyone could live happily together.
But it's not the case at all. Ji Yunding knows that after solving the ghost story, the research team will no longer be necessary. What will happen to the first group at that time...
It felt terrible to be woken up from a sweet dream - especially when Ji Yunding walked out of the cave, regained consciousness, and found himself surrounded by fully armed foreign troops.
Ji Liuxing had mentioned this situation before, but actually facing it was another matter. Ji Yunding and the others silently put their daggers and other weapons on the ground and raised their hands facing the guns.
This is terrible. This is Ji Yunding's favorite dagger. For this dagger, Ji Yunding once pulled Ji Liuxing's collar and asked him to return it in the strange story.
Later, I asked Nono and the administrative liaison office for help and asked for it three times through international negotiations. The first two times, Ji Yunding said that it was not right as soon as he got it, and the feel was not right at all.
The third time, the dagger was not genuine, but Ji Yunding accepted it silently. Zheng Nuo said that Ji Yunding's attitude made them believe that there was something special about the dagger, so they should not take it back.
In fact, it is just an ordinary set of standard daggers. Ji Yunding likes it only because it is convenient to use it to trim his hair, and Ji Yunding hates to replace things he is used to.
Perhaps different people really cannot truly understand each other, which is why there are so many disputes and estrangements.
In the dessert shop, Ji Yunding complained to Li Fengqing about this matter until five o'clock in the afternoon. In fact, Ji Yunding complained about this matter to everyone around him, even if the administrative liaison office sent thirty standard daggers to him.
If it was before she went to college, Ji Yunding might have accepted it calmly, but after she joined the group, she had never suffered such grievances. Therefore, Ji Yunding was very resentful about this matter recently.
The good news is that when Ji Yunding was twenty-one years old, he finally learned how to complain after being immersed in a wild, I don’t know if I should say healthy, but definitely friendly environment.
The news, which was neither good nor bad, was that she was complaining everywhere, and within two days, the whole world knew that a country had secretly taken a dagger from Ji Yunding.
The psychologist said that being willing to express oneself is a sign of mental improvement, so the research team decided to encourage Ji Yunding to express his unhappiness openly. How shabby it is to rob a dagger! What's wrong with our Yunding complaining for ten days or half a month?
"By the way, Qing, the seniors asked me to bring back some desserts for them. Um, Sparks Cake?"
Li Fengqing's desserts are delicious, so the first group certainly doesn't mind supporting the business. In addition, with Ji Yunding's relationship, most of the research groups gradually became regular customers.
"Basque cake...what's that? Sparky cake, and Spartan cake."
Li Fengqing casually put the cake into a bag and knocked on Ji Yunding's head while complaining.
It was Ji Yunding's old habit to ignore unimportant details. Just like now, she went back and pushed the door of the lounge, and said, "I brought back the Spartan cake."
"What Starbucks cake?" Lin Shu raised his head, not reacting for a moment. The other seniors who were playing cards or strolling around also turned their heads.
"Baroque cake?"
"Huh? Pavlova?"
Nuclear fission-style information distortion occurs.
