"You... are you kidding?" Wujiu put down what he was doing and stared at Bai Wu.
"I know how to do it, but I don't think I can actually do it. However, the situation is very complicated. I will tell the captain after I leave the tower."
Giving people hope easily is a very dangerous thing. Bai Wu thought about it for a long time before deciding to speak out these things:
"It's difficult. In my opinion, this matter is just like saving the world. But I'm not talking nonsense, and I won't hide anything. After I leave the tower, I will tell the captain the information I have collected."
Hearing the seriousness in Bai Wu's tone, Wu Jiu also asked seriously:
"What about the arrangements for the personnel to leave the tower?"
"Just me and the captain. There are some things that are only suitable for you to tell for now. Once we understand everything, we will take them with us on the next mission."
Although Bai Wu was a little weird, Wu Jiu still believed in him.
"Three hours... no, let's set off in four hours." Wujiu noticed that Bai Wu was still holding something in his hand and guessed that Bai Wu might have some other things to deal with.
"Okay, then Captain, you go ahead and do your work. I still have to entertain people. Also, Captain, you'd better go see the boss lady."
"What's up with her?"
"Nothing, the boss lady missed you."
Thinking about going to meet Yan Jiu, Bai Wu suddenly remembered that Ai Sao actually had some good news to tell Wu Jiu.
In the past two days since Wujiu came back, I have been working like crazy and there are some things I don’t know yet.
Wujiu agreed, and shortly after Baiwu left, he also left the office and went to the Lily Community.
…
…
madhouse.
Bai Wu really hopes that the conch can have the function of transmitting objects through the air, so that it can save a lot of trouble to send a gift to Yan Jiu. He doesn't have to wear a label of a second-class noble and then go to the third floor.
When Yan Jiu received the album, he was completely stunned and even forgot to smile to express his happiness.
The gift has a special meaning to her.
Because since she was a child, she has always been the one giving things to others, and she has almost never received any gifts.
Especially the things Bai Wu gave her, which made her suddenly incoherent:
“Thank… Thank you! I… I I I…”
"Don't get too excited. Giving gifts to each other is normal. You helped me, so I'm expressing my gratitude. This is normal human interaction. And this won't be the last time you receive a gift. You will receive gifts from many people in the future."
Yan Jiu nodded obediently, thinking about smiling at Bai Wu, and prepared to make his habitual movements.
Bai Wu stopped her action and said gently:
"Just like there is no necessary relationship between friends and gifts, there is no necessary relationship between happiness and smiles. Humans express excitement in many ways, and I can feel your excitement in other ways, so you don't need to force yourself to smile."
"Then I always feel... my expression will make you uncomfortable." Yan Jiu opened his eyes wide.
"It doesn't matter. Liu Chengzi won't feel uncomfortable, and neither will I."
"Maybe one day, I can regain my emotions. At that time, I can smile as beautifully as them."
Yan Jiu's tone was calm, but Bai Wu could hear her anticipation.
Her lack of emotions is related to that evil creature.
There are still many secrets on the death flight that have not been explored. Bai Wu doesn't think that he and that Mummy Yin-like guy will never meet again. He still has the fragments obtained from the flight in his hands.
Maybe one day in the future, he will return to that flight. By then, he will know some secrets about the fifth-tier ruler, the Yan family, and the significance of the flight itself.
Perhaps there is a way to help Yan Jiu regain his missing emotions.
"I have to go now."
"Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"
"I have to get out of the tower."
"Oh, then if you are in danger, I will help you notify others."
"Okay. I'll see you next time."
"When is the next time?"
Yan Jiu was still reluctant to leave. Bai Wu thought for a while and said:
"It won't be long. When you're bored, ask someone to contact Liu Chengzi through the monitoring equipment."
Yan Jiu nodded.
When Bai Wu left, she stood at the door of 6-18, standing quite stiffly, like a young wife seeing off her husband on a business trip.
…
…
During the time that Bai Wu visited Yan Jiu, Wu Jiu also learned some things from Ruan Qingyun.
The location of their conversation was moved from Ruan Qingyun's home to the prison of the interrogation department.
This is the Investigation Corps' own independent prison, used to detain petty thieves.
The truly evil people will be sent to prison for trial.
The prison has nine floors in total, and is considered one of the taller buildings on the second floor of the entire tower. It is jointly managed by the Defense Army and the Investigation Army.
Among the many divisions of the Guarding Army and the Investigation Army, each has a division stationed here. In addition to these, there is also an independent organization for the fifth-level rulers.
Lilith is special, and Bai Wu did not send her to the trial prison where it is difficult to escape.
Instead, he was detained in the lightly guarded interrogation department.
But these days, almost every six hours, Bai Wu would go to the medical team to get a strong anesthetic injection to inject into Lilith.
"This is a member of the Tower God Society, and she has a high status. What Bai Wu wants me to tell you is that this woman knows a man named Cain."
Then Ruan Qingyun told Wujiu about Bai Wu's analysis, the two armies' reform plan, the suicide of the fourth-level manager, and the missing girl case, including where he would be sent if he was really kidnapped.
Some of these things were done by Cain, and some were not, but the ultimate goal was to target Wujiu - to find ways to make Wujiu hate the ruler.
Liu Mu's evil degeneration was also directly caused by Cain.
Feeling Wujiu's anger, Ruan Qingyun said again:
"Bai Wu hasn't figured out how to deal with her yet, but he asked me to tell you that you won't always be so passive when facing Cain. He will definitely find Cain's weakness through this woman."
"He asked you to give him some time, and he would think of a way to fight back against Cain."
Although Ruan Qingyun didn't know who Cain was, she could clearly feel Wujiu's emotional fluctuations after he said this.
"Bai Wu is a good team member and he cares about you."
"Yes, this time it's all thanks to him."
Wujiu now knew that Lilith had kidnapped Ruan Qingyun. If it weren't for Bai Wu, he would have lost more than just Liu Mu.
Thinking back to what Bai Wu said not long ago, there was a way to turn the evil back into a human, Wujiu suddenly felt that he owed his subordinates a huge favor.
…
…
Ground floor of the tower, east square.
After dealing with matters with Ruan Qingyun and emphasizing some methods of dealing with Lilith to the interrogation team, Wujiu arrived at the Eastern Square as scheduled.
Bai Wu was already waiting here. For him, leaving the tower was not scary at all. It was even unexpectedly interesting.
"Where are you heading to?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
Bai Wu shrugged and said with a smile:
"Outside the tower is like a series of checkpoints. We can't choose the content, we can only choose the difficulty. However, according to my previous understanding, to find an area with fragments, it must be at least a blue area, so we choose the blue stone tablet to exit the tower."
"Fragments? What fragments?"
"It's complicated to explain. Let's talk about it after we get out of the tower."
Today, Bai Wu, in terms of companion power, is at the fifth level and ninth stage, and is already a captain-level master, although his previous experiences out of the tower have shown that he seems to have a physique with difficulty +1 or even more exaggerated.
However, after his strength increased, and with Wujiu by his side, Bai Wu felt that it was not excessive to enter the blue area and obtain a piece of fragment.
The investigator in charge of registration was a little excited when he saw that there were only Bai Wu and Wu Jiu. It was these two people who had fought their way back from the purple area before.
But the investigator soon looked disappointed.
These two are so unmotivated that they just chose the blue area, which is boring and uninteresting.
Without wasting any time, Bai Wu and Wu Jiu quickly touched the stone tablet. The blue light enveloped them, and a new exploration began again.
…
…
Outside the tower, unknown area 1.
After the blue light in their consciousness faded away, Bai Wu and Wu Jiu were observing their surroundings.
They were at the entrance of a building on a long-abandoned street with no other buildings around.
In other words, other buildings have already become ruins.
Only the building in front of us is intact.
This is not surprising, it simply means that this building is an indestructible scene in an area.
It’s just that these scenes, along with the surrounding debris and ruins, can’t help but make people feel eerie.
Bai Wuyuan thought he had experienced many strange rules, but this time's rules, at least in terms of visual expression, were the weirdest he had ever seen.
The entire world, from the clouds in the sky, the stones on the ground, the surrounding ruins, and the scenes in the distance... are all pixel-art styles.
It’s like this world is made up of countless Lego bricks.
At the entrance of the building, there are many skeletons, all of which are human skeletons. The originally terrifying arrangement looks very rough because of the pixel style, and there is no sense of horror at all.
Bai Wu looked around, and the information given by the notes in his eyes was normal.
Finally he looked towards the dark entrance.
When the end of the world comes, many people curl up in their own inner world like ostriches. Some worlds are dark, some worlds are violent, some worlds force others to be fathers, and some worlds are fun. But I must remind you that any fun outside the tower is accompanied by fatal risks. If you want to leave here, please complete this game. The fragments and history are all in this game.
Bai Wu felt something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Wu Jiu, and Wu Jiu also looked at Bai Wu.
Upon seeing this, they were both stunned.
Wujiu and Baiwu both became square. Their hair turned into a dark block, and their handsome faces turned into polygons.
Although neither of them felt any changes in themselves and their bodies seemed to be normal, they had indeed... assimilated into the environment and become part of the pixel army.
Simply put, both of them were originally in Blu-ray ultra-high-definition quality, but now they have both become minimalist mode - just like two ancient game characters.
Bai Wu suddenly thought of something and subconsciously took out the return disc.
Return to the roulette wheel, the remaining number of uses is 0, and you can get the remaining number of uses by completing the level.
A return device, very simple, twist it, you can hit where you came from, roll there. But this process takes a minute, which is longer than the eight-second return to the city, so please make sure there is no Garen in the bush.
Bai Wu was stunned again.
What the hell
Two notes
There were actually two paragraphs of notes that appeared in Bai Wu's eyes... The second paragraph was a familiar and mean note to Bai Wu. The first paragraph of the note made Bai Wu feel unfamiliar.
"What's going on... Why can I see this information?"
It was not Bai Wu who raised the question, but Wujiu.
Bai Wu looked at Wu Jiu, who was holding his short knife with a puzzled look on his face. In Wu Jiu's eyes, a dialog box appeared.
Dagger: Evil must die. Attack +6, upgradeable, durability 10/10. Cannot be sold.
More and more strange information appeared.
Survey Corps combat uniform, defense +1, upgradeable, durability 25/25. Cannot be sold.
White Mist, lv1, attack power 2, defense power 1, health 10, movement speed 1, backpack capacity 6 slots. Not transferred.
Gu Qingyu, lv5, attack power 6, defense power 1, health 18, movement speed 1, backpack capacity 3 slots. Not transferred yet.
After the two were pixelated, their properties became strange.
Combined with the previous notes, Bai Wu quickly understood from his confusion.
"We may have encountered a strange scene where the region and evil merged again."
"What's going on?" Wujiu was puzzled.
Bai Wu said:
"Remember the last scene? Violet merged with the area and forced everyone to treat her as a family. This scene may be similar, but I'm not sure of the details yet."
Wujiu still looked confused, because he had never played games in his childhood. The scene in front of him was very novel to Wujiu.
Maybe Evil was a game fan before... He forced everyone to play games? So people and objects that entered this area became like game props
This is one of Bai Wu’s initial guesses. He also has another guess, but this guess is more complicated and Bai Wu needs more verification.
"Since we can't use the return roulette, let's go in and take a look first." Wujiu had a good attitude.
Although Bai Wu doesn't like the current design, he doesn't object to this area and even likes it a little.
His intuition has always been accurate, and this time, he always felt that what he met might not be some evil villain, but a very interesting existence.
After glancing around and finding no useful items to extract, Bai Wu and Wu Jiu entered the dark entrance.
Completely different from the abandoned street scene outside, inside the entrance is a cramped and dim storage room.
The originally dark entrance turned into an iron gate after Bai Wu and Wu Jiu came in.
"It seems we can't retreat anymore. We can only move forward." Wujiu said.
Bai Wu nodded and his eyes fell on the long table in the room.
A row of strange props were placed on the table. Wujiu and Baiwu could see the same notes, but Baiwu could see two.
Resurrection Coin, can be resurrected after death, and restore 100% of health. Consumes one backpack capacity.
You better not die, and if you do, you better make sure you have this thing in your hand, otherwise you may never get back to the tower. But maybe you can save a backpack slot and consider arming yourself with a combat item
Looking at the various props listed on the table, some props have very strange functions, but only take up one grid of backpack capacity, and some props are very powerful, but also take up a relatively large amount of backpack capacity.
Bai Wu quickly realized that this was a game—
He and the captain didn't know what they would face, but they had to choose the props they would carry in advance. How to choose required the use of reasoning knowledge.
"Interesting. Right off the bat, it's a multiple-choice question?"
Although he didn't know what he would encounter after opening the iron gate, Bai Wu had already started to look forward to it.
