Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Jingyuan Daily Update
Wang Fu's so-called scientific research did not provide any help.
After all, he wasn't actually doing scientific research, but was working in a mental hospital.
Of course, Lin Jianyuan couldn't be so bored as to report him to the Administration.
So, when Shaoning asked about it, Lin Jianyuan just said: It's of no help.
Shi Shaoning nodded: "I guess so."
The Administration Headquarters is actually also working on similar projects, but they are more inclined towards basic theoretical research.
Lin Jianyuan went to the research department to collect blood and oral samples and completed numerous questionnaires. After that, there was nothing left to do. He could only wait for the results from the research department.
then.
Inverted Spire, deepest point.
S-level cell level.
Lin Jianyuan came here alone again.
The roommate wanted to accompany him, but he refused.
Delirium is now so contagious that even roommates are affected.
Not to mention those little toys that can boost your happiness while working from home.
Lin Jianyuan wanted to see Delirium, but he could only come alone. And he didn't even have a toy with him. It was too dangerous.
Lin Jianyuan assured his roommate that if there was any sign of trouble, he should run away and call him immediately, and would never take any risky actions again.
The roommate reluctantly agreed.
Rumble——
The heavy and huge reinforced concrete door opened.
The familiar strong smell of toilet water hit him in the face, but this time Lin Jianyuan was not blinded by the fumes.
Because he was wearing a special gas mask.
Ordinary people cannot wear protective gear when coming here, because being fully soaked in floral water is also a means to avoid spiritual pollution.
Lin Jianyuan didn't care.
Speaking of which, if you're using evil methods to conduct scientific research, you could actually go to a mental hospital and grab a few seriously ill patients who've taken a lot of medication and use them to contaminate the delirium...
But this is too inhumane. The Administration definitely can't do this.
The floral water pool is still covered with heavy steel bars, cement and soil.
Through the thick grey pool cover, I couldn't hear any sound from below.
It was like being buried alive.
Lin Jianyuan couldn't help but think.
Delirium is trapped under this, like being buried alive by the heavy reality.
Lin Jianyuan operated the machine and opened the pool cover.
With a rumbling sound, the cement pool cover slowly opened.
A huge pool of light green floral water was revealed.
And a body floating in the middle of the water...
Um? ? ! ! ! !
Floating?!!!
Lin Jianyuan was so shocked that he almost jumped into the pool to find out what was going on.
He stood on the observation deck and stretched his neck as far as he could.
Then the pupils still trembled.
"Delirium?" Lin Jianyuan's voice of disbelief echoed in the huge cell.
"Delirium? Are you dead???"
The male body floating on the water showed no reaction.
Lin Jianyuan: “…”
Very good.
This idiot guy can always surprise him.
Lin Jianyuan looked around, trying to find a bamboo pole to poke it.
But it didn't.
...That makes sense. This is an S-class cell, how could there be something as messy as a bamboo pole?
The only thing that can be used is the observation deck more than one meter high by the pool.
At this moment, Lin Jianyuan could only stand on the observation deck, squinting his eyes and carefully looking at the human body in the middle of the water.
...motionless.
Neither the loud bang from opening the pool cover nor Lin Jianyuan's call caused any reaction in Delirium.
It really is like being dead.
Come to think of it, was he considered “alive” originally?
For a moment, Lin Jianyuan almost felt a terrifying sensation as if he was being "buried alive".
"Delirium." Lin Jianyuan frowned, and for some reason a thought came to his mind.
"Come," Lin Jianyuan said, "come to me."
delirium:"……"
Delirium did not move.
Still floating in the water like a dead body.
Lin Jianyuan: “.”
All right.
Although his face is big, it is not this big.
Lin Jianyuan scratched his head awkwardly.
It seems that we can't get any more useful clues from Delirium today.
He turned and was about to leave.
But an indescribable feeling arose in my heart.
Lin Jianyuan turned around and glanced at the center of the swimming pool.
Delirium floated on his back in the middle of the pool.
More like a piece of wood than a corpse. Or stone. Some kind of white stone used for sculpture.
Anyway, it's that kind of inorganic stuff.
When Delirium was thrashing around in the water, it felt pretty weird.
He felt a sense of dissonance between inorganic matter and living life.
Now he...can completely be called "it".
It's like...
It’s like, completing some kind of mission, some kind of…function?
After completing their own role, they began to go with the flow.
"……Hello."
Lin Jianyuan frowned and couldn't help but scream.
His slightly displeased voice echoed in the empty swimming pool.
Lin Jianyuan didn't know why, he just felt unhappy, inexplicably unhappy.
It's hard to describe what this feeling is like. Irritability, depression, powerlessness, and no hope for the future...
right.
There is no hope for the future.
Delirium is with the eyes open. The eyelids are not covered, so the eyes are looking directly at the ceiling.
But when he stared at the ceiling silently, he seemed even more lifeless.
It’s worse than before when I was running around like a fool.
At that time, his eyes were vague and empty, but at least he was searching.
Now what?
Found it.
Just die?
What the hell.
Lin Jianyuan suddenly felt a surge of irritation. He took a step forward and roared into the pool:
"Get the fuck up!"
"Stop playing dead! Damn!"
"Haven't you been looking for me? What does it matter if you die after finding me?"
"You're going to die after you've finished your work?! What the hell is your mission? What the hell did you come to me for?!!"
The calm water surface was disturbed by his roars.
Lin Jianyuan clenched his fists, almost having the urge to jump down, pick up this guy and beat him up.
But no, he had promised Xieyu that he would not do anything rash while he was here alone.
Lin Jianyuan took a deep breath, raised his head and closed his eyes, trying to control his inexplicably manic emotions.
Can't wake him up.
never mind.
So be it. Let him be.
Lin Jianyuan gave the pale male corpse on the water a final glare.
Turn around and leave the cell.
Rumble——
The pool cover closes from both sides towards the middle.
Rumble——
The heavy and thick reinforced concrete door slowly closed again.
Like burying everything.
Just like the heavy reality buries life alive.
Everything returned to silence.
Everything should return to silence.
However.
"clatter."
Slight sound of water.
Shallow ripples are rippling.
"clatter."
There was another small sound of water.
Circles of water ripples spread out.
Gently swaying under the pressure of reinforced concrete.
The deepest part of the Inverted Spire, the very first cell.
Blocked and buried by heavy reinforced concrete.
The pale body floating on the water suddenly moved its fingertips.
"clatter."
Circles of water ripples quietly spread out under the gray-white pool cover.
Delirium still lay on the water.
Above my head is still the heavy gray concrete wall.
A drop of water suddenly fell into his eyes.
"clatter."
…
After coming out of cell No. 1 of [Delirium], Lin Jianyuan passed through cells No. 2 and No. 3.
There are [regret] and [hesitation] imprisoned respectively.
[Regret] is an old friend, but I haven’t seen [hesitation] before.
Lin Jianyuan couldn't help but glance at No. 3 when he passed by it.
Cell No. 3 looks no different from the delirious Cell No. 1 from the outside: it has a standard reinforced concrete door, and the thick concrete door blocks all sight and sound.
If you don't go in, you have no idea what's going on inside.
Lin Jianyuan was not in the mood to explore now.
Seeing the delirium just now made him extremely upset. He urgently needed to return to his wife and absorb some positive energy.
Lin Jianyuan returned to the top of the inverted spire as quickly as possible. As soon as his roommate saw him, he came forward to greet him.
"Are you okay?" Many pieces of intestines stretched out, gently touching and caressing his entire body.
My roommate asked, "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Jianyuan's whole person is like: "~~~"
Roommate: "Don't just laugh. Do a math problem to prove you're still sane."
Lin Jianyuan: “???”
Hehehe → No hehe.
No, how did you learn to judge whether someone is awake or not by using advanced math problems?
"I'm a poor student. Even at the peak of my education level, I can't solve advanced math problems!" Lin Jianyuan said in despair.
The roommate burst out laughing. He leaned over and kissed him, saying, "The inspection passed. I knew you'd say that."
If Lin Jianyuan really took over the question and started doing advanced mathematics, then he would be mentally ill.
Lin Jianyuan: “?”
It was still Lin Jianyuan: “~~”
Wuhu, you are worthy of being my wife!
You really understand me, my wife!
The two chatted and laughed as they were about to go to the cafeteria when another desperate scream suddenly rang out from behind them.
"Lin Jianyuan! Lin Jianyuan!"
It's the sound of a squeezing mic.
Lin Jianyuan turned around and remembered that he had left his toys in the baby storage area at the entrance of the inverted spire.
Lin Jianyuan coughed awkwardly and quickly turned back to get it.
Little Stone: "It's okay. It's okay if you forget to pick me up. I will take the bus home by myself QAQ"
Mouth of the Abyss: "Is there a bus here?"
Angel Eyeball: "I can fly."
Mouth of the Abyss: "Then I'll rub your wings. Senior Stone will take the bus. What about Lego? Lego's social phobia probably wouldn't dare take the bus. Then sit in my mouth?"
Little Stone: “?”
Social Anxiety Lego: (trembling)
"Nie Nie, why don't you say anything?" Lin Jianyuan put the little toys back into his pocket. Every little toy had spoken, but only Nie Nie Le remained silent.
The Nienie Le was hiding in the deepest part of his trouser pocket, and Lin Jianyuan groped for a long time before he found it.
He casually rubbed its two elastic tentacles.
Nienile still didn't say anything.
Lin Jianyuan raised his eyebrows: "What? Are you mad at me?"
Pinching music: “.”
Lin Jianyuan: "If you ignore me again, I won't coax you anymore."
The roommate turned his head and glanced at him.
Lin Jianyuan quickly mouthed: Coax the kid.
The roommate didn't say anything, just smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.
"You, you..." Under Lin Jianyuan's intimidation, Nienile finally spoke, his tone anxious and aggrieved, "How could you do this!"
Lin Jianyuan was puzzled: "What's wrong with me? Oh, didn't you say you forgot to pick you up? This is not, ahem, in a hurry to eat..."
I was also anxious to find a quiet and deserted place for my roommate to have a good meal.
"This isn't your first time!!!" Nienile's grievance reached its peak, "Many times! You've been forgetting us at home and going out by yourself lately!"
Lin Jianyuan: “.”
It’s true.
Since renting a new house, the little toys have been sleeping in the baby's room at night, so Lin Jianyuan often forgets to take them with him when he goes out in the morning.
"If you forgot to bring it, then forget to bring it." Lin Jianyuan said, "Just treat it as a holiday. Do you really like working so much?"
Nienilele: "We are not with you, what should we do if you are in danger?"
Lin Jianyuan scratched his head: "I have my wife."
Nie Nie Le: "What if he happens to be busy? Just like last time [Regret]!"
Lin Jianyuan was even more puzzled: "Didn't you guys help me with [Regret] last time?"
Pinching music: “.”
I was speechless for a moment.
really.
If you think carefully about your experiences so far, Lin Jianyuan has directly attacked and killed any heretics of level A or below with one punch.
Those above grade A...even their grade A toys can't do it.
Not to mention doing it, just being close to the S-level will cause them mental pollution.
At best, it served as a background sound of nonsense in Lin Jianyuan's battle.
"You'd better take it with you." His roommate shook his hand gently.
Lin Jianyuan thought his roommate was going to say "just in case", but he didn't expect his roommate to say:
"If anything happens to you, I'll go crazy and kill them all."
In a gentle tone, he spoke very anti-heresy words.
Lin Jianyuan: “.”
The little toys collectively responded: "."
Nienile said in despair: "I knew it..."
It knows that the evil realm looks like this!!!
...In short, it's for the safety of the little toys and for world peace.
Lin Jianyuan decided to check whether he had brought all his toys with him before going out every time.
In the afternoon, Lin Jianyuan made an appointment with the real estate agent to go to XX property to look at new houses.
Lin Jianyuan and his roommate are currently renting a house. On the one hand, their savings are not enough to buy a house outright, and on the other hand, he wants to choose carefully.
When looking at houses before, Lin Jianyuan always brought his roommates with him.
But after a few times, he found that his roommate seemed a little uninterested.
Reasonable.
After all, roommates are not human beings, and they certainly don’t have the obsession with “buying a house”.
If he hadn't been with Lin Jianyuan, he wouldn't even have needed "housing".
Just stroll around and eat wherever you want.
Anyway, as long as he has enough food to eat, the whole family will not have to worry.
Lin Jianyuan found it funny when he thought that his roommate's name would appear on the property certificate in the future.
Roommate is definitely the first heretic to own a property in human society!
Because he is definitely the first and only heretic with an ID card! Hahahahaha.
In short, Lin Jianyuan came to see the house alone today.
When viewing a model apartment, just start a video and let your roommates watch it together.
As for other matters like the location, landscaping, supporting facilities, delivery standards, etc., Lin Jianyuan could just research these miscellaneous things. There was no need to let his wife worry about them.
The house we are looking at today is a high-end property with excellent landscaping and good supporting facilities.
The entire sales office is magnificent, like a huge high-end club.
On the way to the model apartment, we passed a swimming pool and some fitness facilities. There was even a luxurious dining room specially used for entertaining.
The salesperson said that once all the properties are sold, the sales office will be retained as a leisure facility, only for internal residents to enjoy luxury.
Wow, it really is a private club.
As a nouveau riche, Lin Jianyuan was a little tempted.
But he still tried to act worldly-wise and said calmly, "Yeah."
Accompanied and guided by three salesmen and one agent, Lin Jianyuan walked into the magnificent and reflective elevator like a president.
The elevator door closed.
At this moment, the stairs next to the elevator.
Salesperson A came down the stairs in a hurry and asked anxiously, "Did you find it?"
Salesperson B: "No. There's none upstairs either?"
A shook his head. Then he asked, "What about the underground garage? Aren't there any in the model rooms?"
B: "No... I checked the surveillance footage and Mr. Lu never left the sales office!"
Meanwhile, by the swimming pool.
"The bathroom is right here, ma'am." The female salesperson smiled politely, led Liu Jiajia to the door of the women's bathroom, and left with a smile.
Liu Jiajia walked into the bathroom and casually placed the half-finished cup of milk tea on the sink.
She was about to continue walking forward when her eyes suddenly caught sight of herself in the mirror.
Um?
Liu Jiajia turned around and couldn't help but look at the mirror a few more times.
Why am I so beautiful today?
This sentence popped into her mind.
Is it the lighting, or does the mirror itself have a slimming effect?
Liu Jiajia looked up at the light above the mirror, then walked closer curiously, wanting to take a closer look at her face.
Oh my god, it’s so beautiful.
I am amazed by my own beauty.
She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out why she looked so beautiful today.
Her makeup was the same as usual, her outfit was casual, and even her hair was casually tied into a ponytail before going out.
But it’s just... so beautiful.
I look so good today!
Liu Jiajia curled up the corners of her lips and took out her cell phone out of habit, wanting to take a selfie in the mirror.
This sales office is designed in a high-end manner, even the mirrors in the bathroom are unique.
Three mirrors are assembled at a special angle, and the mirror surfaces reflect each other, so you can see countless copies of yourself in the mirror.
Coupled with just the right lighting and the low-key luxurious atmosphere in the background.
It looks very good at first glance!
Liu Jiajia couldn't help but take several selfies in front of the mirror.
However, for some reason, no matter what angle I change, or even if I turn the beauty function to the maximum, the photos taken with the phone are never as good as those in the mirror.
Liu Jiajia frowned and studied for a long time, but she still couldn't take a photo as beautiful as the one in the mirror.
How could Liu Jiajia, who has been pursuing the release of a film all her life, give up just like that!
She thought it might be a problem of wide-angle distortion. The phone was too close to her and she couldn't capture the effect like in the mirror.
My bestie was outside, so I called her in to take some photos together!
Liu Jiajia put away her phone and reached for the milk tea that had been placed on the sink.
...Huh?
Where is milk tea?
Liu Jiajia was stunned.
The sink next to me was empty.
She looked up blankly, but saw at a glance that on the other side of the mirror, on the sink, a half-drunk milk tea was clearly right next to her hand.
Liu Jiajia turned her head in surprise.
In the countless mirrors reflecting each other, countless selves turned their heads at the same time.
However, no matter how many times you reflect, there is always only one cup of milk tea on the sink.
——There is only the cup on the other side of the largest mirror facing Liu Jiajia.
"Jia Jia, Jia Jia?"
A familiar figure suddenly appeared in the huge mirror.
It was her best friend Bai Zhihui.
Liu Jiajia opened her eyes wide and looked around in horror.
--No.
There was no one around her at all.
Bai Zhihui appeared in the mirror, but did not appear next to her at all!
Liu Jiajia's hairs stood on end instantly. She took two steps back and turned around, wanting to escape from this strange bathroom.
Where's the door?!
Liu Jiajia was shocked.
Standing before her was another terrified version of herself!
No, that's not "another self." That's just a mirror.
That's another mirror!
She has been surrounded by countless mirrors!
Her heart was pounding. Liu Jiajia almost fainted from fright.
She hurried back to the largest mirror, leaned out, and slapped the mirror surface desperately.
"Zhihui! Zhihui! Bai Zhihui!" Liu Jiajia was almost frightened and crying. Her fair hands, which had just been done with a manicure, slapped the mirror frantically. "Bai Zhihui! I'm here! I'm here! Save me! Find someone to save me!"
However, Bai Zhihui on the other side of the mirror seemed to hear nothing.
Sound cannot be transmitted through the mirror at all.
Bai Zhihui walked into the bathroom and saw the cup of milk tea on the sink that was exactly the same as the one she was holding.
"Hey, where are the people?"
Bai Zhihui called out to the bathroom a few more times.
There was no echo in the huge, low-key and luxurious bathroom.
"Where have you been..." Bai Zhihui muttered, and casually placed her cup of milk tea on the sink.
Forget it, I'm here anyway.
Bai Zhihui was about to go to the bathroom when she suddenly caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror out of the corner of her eye.
Um?
Bai Zhihui turned around and couldn't help but look at the mirror a few more times.
Why am I so beautiful today?
This sentence popped into her mind.
Bai Zhihui took out her cell phone without hesitation and took a selfie of herself in the mirror.
Half a minute later.
Liu Jiajia: "."
Bai Zhihui: “.”
The best friends successfully met in the mirror.
Liu Jiajia was frantic: "Ahhh, how come you came in too! I was counting on you to go out and find someone to save me!!"
Bai Zhihui scratched her head. "What's going on?" She looked around in surprise. "What the hell is this place?"
"Ahhh, help, let me out--" Liu Jiajia climbed onto the sink, her fingers that had just been done with a manicure scratching the mirror desperately, "Let me out, I need to pee ahhh--"
"Stop talking!" Bai Zhihui shuddered with tears in her eyes. "I didn't really want to pee that badly, but after you said that..."
On the sink, two identical cups of half-drunk milk tea were placed side by side by the sink.
In the mirror, countless mirror surfaces reflect and overlap each other.
Like infinite abysses parallel to each other.
bite.
The elevator door opens.
"Mr. Lin, you can really consider us..."
The salesperson chased out of the elevator.
Lin Jianyuan was speechless. "No, there's a big problem with your lighting. And so many owners of the first phase you just delivered are seeking redress. A quick search on Xiaohongshu shows the first result saying your actual delivery doesn't match the contract. How can I consider this? What should I consider? Brother, that's not how you run a business. If you don't do a good job on the houses, what's the point of having such a luxurious sales office? Aren't you just tricking people into coming here and killing them?"
The salesperson wanted to persuade him again, but the agent who came with Lin Jianyuan quickly stopped him and said, "Alright, alright. I've seen that the lighting in your remaining units is indeed a problem. How about this, you let our client go back and reconsider it."
Now that things have come to this, it would be impolite for the salesperson to continue struggling.
The salesperson said, "Okay."
Lin Jianyuan suddenly stopped.
The salesperson and the agent were both stunned.
The salesperson thought there was a chance and was about to take a step forward to make a final struggle.
Lin Jianyuan rubbed his ears, looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Did you hear any sound?"
Salesperson & Agent: “Huh?”
Lin Jianyuan: "Like fingernails scratching a blackboard..."
He shuddered before he could finish his words and turned back.
The salesperson was delighted to see this and said hurriedly, "Mr. Lin, I know you have high expectations. Why don't you take a look at our top floor..."
Before the salesperson had a chance to make any grand plans, Lin Jianyuan stopped him by raising his hand.
"Pee." Lin Jianyuan said.
Sale:"."
So angry.
But keep smiling.
Damn money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat.
The salesperson had a smile on his face, but was actually cursing in his heart.
The customer was politely led into the luxurious bathroom of their sales office.
