Bai Wu didn't frown, even though he was frowning in his heart.
"I was careless after all and forgot about it."
The expression on his face was calm, yet there was a hint of doubt in his calmness, as if he was the one asking the question.
Although his current relationship with Yan Jiu and Hong Yin is still far from reaching the level of some famous scenes.
But some things, or some people, are born with the talent to encounter these things.
Bai Wu didn't want to waste time. Although his surname was Bai, he didn't establish a school of thought to establish a surname theory. He said directly:
"Miss Yan, I have an important favor to ask of you. Contact the captain through the surveillance and tell him that I have obtained important intelligence. This is a critical stage. Please do not launch a rescue operation, otherwise it will only bring me more trouble. This matter is extremely urgent, do it quickly!"
Hong Yin's dark eyes looked at Yan Jiu, and Yan Jiu also looked at Hong Yin.
Yan Jiu did not move at the first moment. Bai Wu was not panicked at all and deliberately emphasized his tone:
"As a friend, you should be able to tell that I am in a hurry. I hope you understand your priorities."
"Oh, okay, I'm sorry, don't be angry."
Feeling that Bai Wu's tone was getting heavier and he seemed a little angry, Yan Jiu immediately forgot what he was thinking.
After conveying the message, Bai Wu calmly put away the conch, threw it into his backpack, and cut off contact.
"Brother, who is she?"
"A friend who is good at painting. He has some similarities with you. He can be considered as a descendant of evil."
Bai Wu suddenly felt his body becoming unusually heavy.
The properties are randomized every thirty seconds, and occasionally the speed is reduced to a negative number.
Hong Yin nodded without saying anything more.
Bai Wu thought about it carefully. First of all, nothing happened between him and the two girls. Moreover, one of them couldn't enter the tower, and the other couldn't leave the tower because of her emotions.
Could it be possible that these two people could collide with each other? This was probably even more unrealistic than sending a spirit to one's rice cooker.
Thinking of this, he felt a lot more relieved.
…
…
High tower.
After returning from the red stele, Team Seven attracted a lot of attention. Wang Shi was right, they did something that would go down in history.
What exactly is in the red area? This is what everyone, even the rulers, want to know.
In fact, all forces had spies planted in the eastern square on the ground floor. The return of Wujiu and others from the red stone tablet caused quite a stir.
Soon, Qin Zong, the commander of the investigation corps, issued an order, asking Wujiu to go to the fourth floor and report the details of the discovery in person.
Wujiu did not delay. Although he was in a heavy mood, it did not affect his work efficiency. In other words, crazy work could temporarily suppress some crazier thoughts.
He asked Yin Shuang to take Shang Xiaoyi to the hospital, while Wang Shi was responsible for dealing with the outside world. Lin Wurou returned to the Investigation Corps and waited for orders.
In the commander's office on the fourth floor of the Survey Corps headquarters, Wujiu met the thirty-four-year-old commander Qin Zong.
As the commander of the Survey Corps, Qin Zong's current companion force is at the sixth level, ninth stage. He is about to break through to the seventh level, but he has not left the tower for a long time.
He was tall and handsome, with an imposing manner, giving people the impression of a gentleman with an open mind, but everyone who was familiar with Qin Zong knew that his methods were not open and aboveboard.
In order to make the Investigation Army compete with the Zhenyu Army in a situation where they are inferior, Qin Zong's methods are sometimes black and sometimes white.
Sometimes, even the people in the Investigation Corps thought that Qin Zong was too cruel in certain things.
However, he is very generous and protective of his subordinates, so the Survey Corps still supports him to this day.
Wujiu hid nothing and told Qin Zong everything he and Bai Wu had seen and heard along the way, as well as Bai Wu's guesses.
Qin Zong's expression was solemn:
"Your decision was right. You were lucky not to go deep into the area with your men. It was a blessing in disguise. You only appeared on the outskirts of the red zone! You don't need to feel guilty about this. You didn't abandon your men. This was their own choice. The difficulty of the red zone is much higher than we imagined."
"Ninety years ago, the Tower Town Guards and the Tower Investigation Corps joined forces to explore the Red Zone. The best talents from both armies participated, but none of those who went to the Red Zone survived."
"Only two years later, the two armies joined forces again. This time, they prepared to go to the red zone for investigation. This time, the order came from the top. But the result was the same. The entire army was still annihilated. Both the Zhenyu Army and the Investigation Army suffered huge losses. What even surprised us was why they didn't even have the chance to use the return wheel?"
"After these two times, we dare not aim too high. Not to mention the red and black areas, in fact, even in the purple area, the survival rate is already calculated on a 1,000-point scale."
Qin Zong patted Wujiu on the shoulder and continued:
"I understand your pain of losing a subordinate. I've also been keeping an eye on this new recruit. He was the one who helped you solve the case not long ago. He was the one who came back from the purple area with you. He's a rare talent. It's really a pity."
"But with our current combat power, we are not ready for the real red zones. Qingyu, maybe one day in the future, you will have the potential to go to these areas, but the more you do so, the more you must cherish your life. Not every era can the tower produce warriors like you."
Qin Zong's words were meant to warn Wujiu not to try to save his subordinates' lives.
Several hours have passed since Bai Wu entered the red zone. Even a veteran would face considerable survival pressure in the blue zone during this time, let alone Bai Wu, a new recruit in the red zone
Qin Zong has already acquiesced to the death of this new recruit.
Wujiu was indeed preparing to report his arrangements, and planned to set out immediately to rescue his subordinates after the cooling-off period for heading outside the tower was over.
Qin Zong saw through this purpose, and he didn't want to sacrifice his most capable subordinates for someone who was already dead.
Just as Wujiu was hesitating and Qin Zong was thinking about what kind of merit to give to Wujiu's beloved general, Wujiu suddenly received a call from the Investigation Corps branch.
"Captain! There's good news! Bai Wu is not dead! This kid is not dead! He's still alive!"
When Lin Wurou's voice came, Wujiu was a little confused.
"Speak slower."
Lin Wu Rou couldn't slow down. He was on standby at the branch, but just now he got the news from Yan Jiu through the surveillance that Bai Wu was still alive.
Yan Jiu had a good memory. Although her expression was blank, she repeated Bai Wu's words completely.
Bai Wu is not dead and has obtained crucial information!
After learning this, Lin Wurou immediately informed Wujiu. Wujiu's stiff expression finally relaxed a little, but he still looked quite solemn.
"I understand. But you have to keep this a secret for now."
Wujiu hung up the phone. Qin Zong looked at Wujiu's reaction and asked:
"What happened? Can I, as the legion commander, know this secret?"
"My subordinates from the Seventh Squadron's Vanguard Group told me that Bai Wu might still be alive. And he brought back crucial information."
Qin Zong was startled and stood up directly:
"Really? How did you confirm it? He has been in the red zone for such a long time, and he is still alive?"
This is what Wujiu asked Lin Wurou to keep secret. Wujiu said:
"It is a spirit-sending item that can establish some kind of connection with the tower, but I don't know the specific effect. This is his privacy, so I didn't ask in detail."
Qin Zong nodded. He understood the hidden meaning of Wujiu's words. As a big shot on the fourth floor, he didn't need to know all the secrets of a new recruit.
Qin Zong also quickly calmed down.
"Don't be too optimistic yet. No matter how valuable the clues are, we have to be prepared for both scenarios before he comes back."
The crucial information came from the red zone, and even though Qin Zong had seen many storms, he could hardly hide his excitement.
A few years ago, a figure named Wujiu suddenly appeared in the Survey Corps, which made Qin Zong feel that perhaps the status between the Survey Corps and the Zhenyu Army would change because of Wujiu.
This was a gift from God to the Survey Corps, allowing him to have an upright and powerful subordinate.
In just a few years, Wujiu has proved his unique value. Even the people in the Zhenyu Army have to admit that Wujiu is a powerful fighting force that no one can replace.
But Qin Zong suddenly had a feeling that perhaps a new powerful general was about to be born in the Investigation Corps.
…
…
Outside the tower, there is a mysterious mine.
After six hours of waiting, the party in the cave finally entered the next stage.
Bai Wu was originally still wondering how the owner of the cave could communicate with thousands of evil creatures at the same time.
After all, this place is divided into many areas, and there are layers of stone walls between the areas.
To Bai Wu, this entire huge cave looked more like a maze.
But soon Bai Wu found out how this evil person with great appeal would meet with other evil people.
Illusion.
The scene in front of his eyes suddenly disappeared, and all the evil seemed to have suddenly arrived at a gorgeous dinner party.
Although there were many gray-black particles floating around, the whole place looked like it was shrouded in black smoke.
But the soothing music, the exquisite decoration and the dining table made Bai Wu feel as if he was attending some high society party.
In this scene, the sizes of all the evil creatures have been adjusted because they are in an illusion.
It was more than just an adjustment. Bai Wu even felt that... the host of the party was a gentleman who was good at communicating at cocktail parties.
Except for those animals that have turned into evil, such as spiders, centipedes, tigers, lions, etc., all the evil that were transformed from humans have all turned back into their original human form.
They were wearing gorgeous, clean evening gowns, and the expressions on everyone's faces were still filled with resentment and hatred, but they seemed quite hazy in the soothing music and the black smoke.
Looking from a distance, it seems like watching an old black-and-white movie from the last century in Bai Wu’s previous life.
As for the animals, they are placed in other rooms with a completely different style.
All the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and these evil people seemed to have come to attend a grand wedding dinner.
There are exceptions.
Hong Yin was still wearing a red dress, and her small hand was holding Bai Wu's big hand.
The evil female with a beauty mole also did not wear appropriate clothes, and was still dressed as before. Bai Wu noticed that this should be the attire of people at the bottom of the tower.
This evil creature either stole clothes from someone in the tower, or she was originally from the tower.
The Mirror Evil and the Demon Evil were still the same as before. The Level 9 Evils were not affected.
Their reactions were different from those of the other evil spirits; they seemed to be quite disdainful of this scene.
Especially Hong Yin, who was also proficient in mental power and had a super attribute of mental power*12. In her opinion, this kind of illusion was completely a waste of time and she could easily make everything change back to normal.
The weaker the existence, the more realistic the scene seems to be. For example, white fog.
Bai Wu was also very clear that these were illusions. In his opinion, the purpose was not to see through the illusions. The most important thing was to listen to what the host of the party had to say. It was always better to be immersed in some exquisite place than in a mine cave.
His attention quickly fell to the front.
In the front was an empty stage. On the stage, three crows were sitting in front of a piano. Their owner was not playing the piano, but the violin.
Bai Wu could tell that this was a very famous piece of music from his previous life, Bach's Unaccompanied Violin Suite.
The evil ones had long lost their musical taste, but Bai Wu still had it. Although for him, the standard for evaluating a person's performance level lies in correctness rather than beauty.
But the level of the party host was obviously the same as the two. Especially the other party's appearance, Bai Wu felt that it was very consistent with the temperament of the musician.
His lively eyes and high nose make him look a little exotic. His face, which can support two sexy mustaches, may not be very handsome, but it is very unique and eye-catching.
Bai Wu looked at the host of the party and used the Eye of Prell, which could only be activated four times for the time being.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss will also... Well, it won't stare at you. You can trust me. But it's best not to stare at the Traveler all the time. As a performer who wanders around various areas, he has long forgotten his name. All the evil people who have seen him call him the Traveler. After getting the travel ticket, he had a great idea. Of course, the so-called greatness is only for the evil people.
Ninth level of evil, distortion terms: Spirit*6, perfect distortion terms: Rift transfer, Body of Dust, Equality of All Beings, Song of the Siren, Evil Eye.
What made Bai Wu a little regretful was that he didn't get any useful clues.
The traveler has a grand plan against the evil, but this plan can only be slowly deduced from the information that follows.
The only useful thing was that Bai Wu roughly knew why this traveler was able to make the Eye of Prell ineffective.
Perfect distortion entry, all beings are equal.
Bai Wu speculated that this should be an entry that suppresses all superpowers and can make all abilities temporarily ineffective.
However, since it is only perfect and not legendary, it means that the suppression effect may not be very strong and may loosen with the opponent's level.
At least the four ninth-level evildoers including Hong Yin appeared very calm from beginning to end.
The violin music ended quickly. The traveler moved slowly and gracefully. He placed the violin on the piano and then said in a calm tone:
"Thank you all for coming from afar. It is a pity that some friends encountered some accidents on the road. I hope death can bring them relief."
After a brief pause, the traveler got to the point:
"With the well opening again, the restrictions on the area will be temporarily lifted in the next few days. No one knows when the well will be opened next time. It may take decades or even hundreds of years. We have suffered great torture in our lives. After eternal life, we should at least choose a place we like."
"And I can help you all."
