"Are you looking for death? Don't you know your own weight?" Lin Wu Rou glared at Bai Wu.
The light from the searchlight was not enough to illuminate the end of the corridor. As the footsteps became clearer, the group also heard the sound of a venomous snake spitting out its tongue.
Bai Wu said softly:
"I know my limits, don't worry. Don't say anything later, and try to act as indifferent and cool as possible. You can refer to the captain's usual expression. In short, don't attack before the monster attacks first."
Although they didn't know what Bai Wu was going to do, the team members subconsciously recalled Wujiu's usual appearance, and suddenly everyone became aloof.
Wujiu felt that his reputation was damaged.
However, he did not stop Bai Wu from taking risks. Since he arrived outside the tower, he has been secretly evaluating the performance of this new recruit.
There was no sense of fear, and no emotional fluctuations in the face of the evil and the things that happened in the ward.
To put it in a positive way, Bai Wu is calm and steady. To put it in a negative way, Bai Wu is like a machine without any emotion.
But according to investigation outside the tower, if this kind of teammate's strength is cultivated, he is the most reliable, especially Bai Wu, who has a strong analytical ability.
How can a recruit with only the first level of companion power face an evil with at least the fourth level of distortion
A vague shadow appeared at the end of the corridor. From the outline, it looked like a giant spider, but as the shadow got closer, Wujiu discovered that it was not a giant spider, but four pairs of blood-red arms growing out of his back.
These arms were much thicker than his real arms.
Although he was almost not the same species as the boy in the photo, Wujiu still recognized the face.
The black curly hair turned dark red, and the pupil turned purple. The curse mark on the face was still there, but starting from the neck, it was covered with blood-red scales, like armor made of red crystal.
"Hiss..."
The sound of the poisonous tongue spitting out the venom did not come from the evil tongue's mouth, but from the second pair of the four pairs of arms behind him. Rather than arms, they were more like two thick, scarlet pythons.
Wujiu had seen this level of evil three times, and his body was like a patchwork of various monsters.
He looked normal. The first four hours outside the tower were when he was at his strongest fighting capacity.
The other few people were also quite calm and imitated Wujiu's appearance very well.
Bai Wu is different. He is not aloof at all and is full of friendliness.
The abnormal data in the notes did not make him feel oppressed at all, but instead made his smile even brighter.
Level six evil, distortion entries: iron cutting, acid corrosion, spider silk entanglement, poison penetration, limb stretching, quick reaction.
Rare distortion entries: Super Strength, Limb Regeneration, Block.
Perfect distortion entry: Sensing life and death.
I really didn't expect Elijah to be this bad. If you disassemble his body and take it to the crew of Journey to the West, you can get several monsters' wages. Love it. Finally, a reminder, if you kill him by means other than the dwarf, this arrogant and inferior little naughty ghost will drop a talent sequence that you don't like very much.
The data is confusing and impressive, but the useful information is still about extreme arrogance and extreme inferiority, which is consistent with the notes seen before.
The special way of death was obviously not because he was killed by Wujiu... I guessed correctly before, it was related to this comb. As for the talent sequence that I hate, forget it, this is not the point.
His name is Elijah… That’s a good starting point.
The pair of snake-like arms behind Elijah began to move slowly.
"Food from... the tower... I want to, eat you..." Elijah's dark purple eyes showed excitement.
His speech was stiff. Bai Wu did not think that this was due to a lack of thinking, but rather the fact that he had not spoken for a long time.
"Elijah, my good boy, I am not from the tower." Bai Wu said lightly.
The three pairs of arms that were originally about to tear the white mist suddenly stopped, and Elijah suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Don't you remember? You are my most precious perfect self, a great work of art, and the most obedient of all my children."
Confusion and doubt emerged in Elijah's purple eyes. He neither moved forward nor retreated as the white mist approached.
Bai Wu's smile was gentle, but his eyes gradually became indifferent.
"I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously. You're just a failure. I didn't expect anything from you. I almost forgot you existed."
Tong Kong was like a galaxy, with countless stars exploding at the same time. Elijah looked at the white mist in horror.
The white mist had already come in front of Elijah, and even stretched out a hand and gently touched the curse mark on the little boy's face.
Elijah stared at the white mist, trying to find the emotion that food should have in the other's eyes.
As a top-level evil, he could even feel the faint fear emanating from the people behind him. Even if they hid deeply, Elijah could still smell it.
But facing Bai Wu, he did not feel the slightest fear. In the depths of Bai Wu's eyes, there was only amusement and disappointment.
"Teacher? No, that's impossible. How can this be possible..."
"It seems that age hasn't made you dumber. This is one of your few advantages."
Elijah didn't understand why the teacher appeared here? Every evil person could not leave a certain range, which was the iron law of this world.
The world outside the tower is divided into countless areas, and each area actually has a boundary. The evil cannot leave its boundary, and only humans from the tower can cross the boundary.
In fact, during this investigation, Wujiu and his team were right at the border of two areas, and the hospital was another area.
Elijah was not the most confused one. Wujiu, Lin Wurou and others were the ones who were at a loss. What information did Bai Wu have in that room
What's going on with this strong sense of someone behind the scenes
"Impossible... You are not the teacher! You are not the teacher! If the teacher is still alive, why don't you come to see me?"
Elijah was so overcome with emotion that his words became less stilted.
Bai Wu smiled calmly:
"It's pathetic. You thought I was dead, so you didn't come to see you. Maybe I should come to see you, so I can remind myself that I am a bigger failure than the people in the hospital."
"They created a relatively good semi-finished product, and you are a failure that is worse than a semi-finished product."
"Elijah, I'm really upset. I can't accept that my perfect life has a stain like you."
These words completely matched the information deep in Elijah's heart, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the white fog changed from suspicion to fear.
"No... No! Teacher... It's not like that. I am your most perfect work!" Elijah argued subconsciously.
Bai Wu suppressed his smile, but in his heart he felt the long-lost joy of having completed the game.
The information obtained from the notes allowed Bai Wu to make a bold but reasonable assumption.
Of course, although he didn't know what fear was, Bai Wu cherished his life. He dared to pretend to be a mastermind so blatantly, and his confidence... still lay in Wujiu.
"Okay, Elijah, this is too ugly. I put you here because there are things here that can polish you, but you disappoint me. You are afraid to face the little girl in the fourth building. In the end, I have to do it myself."
Bai Wu's words shocked Elijah again. The teacher took action personally... The monster was solved by the teacher
Wujiu and others are still in a state of confusion: "Aren't we in the same area? Aren't we using the same script?"
But before Bai Wu could reveal the answer, he continued to torture Elijah:
"Over the years, your failure has dealt me a heavy blow, but the tower is still standing. I have created many children like you. They are better than you and have accomplished my requirements. But you are still my stain."
There is one thing Bai Wu has to admit, that he is quite lucky.
The personality, tone, and demeanor of the mastermind he modeled after were all from his own father.
But by accident, it seems that the style is very similar to Elijah's teacher.
This was also a poor child, but he did not sympathize with Elijah.
Elijah burst into tears:
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, teacher, please give me another chance, give me another chance! I'm not a failure... I'm not a failure, I'm not!"
The poor little guy in the fourth building shattered Elijah's confidence three times in a row.
To the extent that Elijah thought in his heart that there was no way he could defeat the monster in the fourth building.
And his teacher must be very familiar with Elijah's character. This kind of child who lacks love will desperately want to gain more recognition once he is recognized by others.
Arrogant, low self-esteem, loyal, and lacking in love.
This is Elijah's personality label that Bai Wu extracted from the notes.
In the notes on the ninth floor and the thirteenth floor, Elijah mentioned the hospital and the teachers.
This child pretended to be submissive to the hospital, but was fanatically worshipful of the teacher and even said that he wanted to become the teacher's weapon.
From this, Bai Wu deduced that the evil in this hospital was divided into two camps.
On one side is the director of the Ninth Mental Hospital, and on the other side is Elijah’s mysterious teacher.
He arranged for Elijah to come here because Elijah had some kind of ability that allowed him to become stronger by hunting other evil creatures.
Therefore, the purpose of the mysterious teacher should be to have Elijah disguise himself as the evil of the hospital, and use the hospital as a wedding dress, constantly devouring the evil of the hospital to achieve the goal of evolution.
It’s a pity that the hospital created an even more terrifying monster, a little girl from the eleventh floor of a building.
The poor little guy defeated Elijah by crushing him three times. Elijah, who was extremely inferior to him, gave up on himself and accepted his identity as a loser.
The little girl is the next target to clear the level.
But Bai Wu had a premonition that he would fight with Elijah's teacher in a certain area. This was a truly evil existence.
Apart from the trump card of Wujiu, the reason why Bai Wu dared to impersonate the teacher was that he was sure that Elijah had never seen the teacher.
The teacher's face is likely obscured by the mask, and the teacher's voice has also been processed.
The reason for doing this is that the teacher is not sure whether Elijah can complete the task, nor is he sure whether the hospital will find out anything through Elijah.
So the best thing to do is to let Elijah know nothing.
The reason why Elijah was constantly suppressed was because of his loyal character.
The more disappointed his master is with him, the more he will blame himself and feel guilty. Then, when he is given a task, he will complete it at all costs. This can be inferred from the notes on the 13th floor.
Bai Wu remembered that in his previous life, in novels written from a female perspective, male protagonists with the label of loyal dogs were very popular with female readers.
However, in novels, only those who are good-looking and rich are called loyal dogs, while in reality, such people can only be called bootlickers.
It is obvious that Elijah regards his teacher as a god, but Elijah himself is just one of the many chess pieces of this teacher.
As long as Elijah is misled into thinking that he has met his former teacher, the game is half won.
…
Bai Wu began to use the information in the first note when he entered the second building. He took out the comb.
Seeing the comb, Elijah recalled the little girl combing her hair with self-pity while easily defeating herself and other evil beings...
It seems that the teacher really killed her... At this point, Elijah no longer had any doubts, and his fear of the little girl began to slowly turn into fanatical admiration for the teacher.
Bai Wu smiled gently again:
"Elijah, my good boy, the Perfect Body's plan failed because of you. I have never forgotten you. Look, didn't I come to find you? I don't think you will let me down a second time.
The gentle smile on his lips, coupled with the coldness in his eyes, made Elijah begin to express his loyalty in fear and eagerness.
"Give me another chance... Teacher, I will definitely complete your task and I won't let you down again!"
"You are an indispensable part of the creation of a complete body. You know that half of the value of the artworks displayed in museums comes from the craftsmanship, and the other half comes from the history and stories behind it. The latter can make it eternal, and I also want to give you such eternity."
Holding the comb, Bai Wu slowly combed Elijah's curly red hair and said slowly:
"They become a part of you, bringing you closer to perfection, but we all know that there is still a long way to go. I hope you can become a part of me and stay with me forever. Your body will be eternal with me, but before that, it needs to be separated from your will."
"What should I do?" Elijah looked at the white mist devoutly. He did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
Bai Wu leaned close to his ear and whispered an explanation.
…
…
Elijah is dead.
Under the puzzled gazes of Wujiu and his group, the four pairs of arms behind him pierced through him. The boy fell in front of the white mist, and the fanaticism in his eyes slowly dissipated.
About half a minute later, Lin Wurou's mouth, which had been wide open in surprise, finally closed. He came back to his senses and looked at Bai Wu in confusion:
"What is going on? Why did he commit suicide? What is the perfect plan you mentioned? Who is the teacher?"
Wujiu also wanted to know that any conversation requires certain data support. When did Baiwu get the data support
"I've said it before, and I'll only say it once. From now on, just trust me and don't ask why. Since we're teammates, just trust each other."
This time, without the information in the notes, Bai Wu would not be able to draw any conclusions.
So if there is something that cannot be explained, or there is a logical loophole, don't try to make it up. Just choose not to explain it.
This is a poor child, but Bai Wu does not feel guilty, because there are only two possible endings for Elijah: either die at the hands of Wujiu with fear and unwillingness, or commit suicide without regrets.
Looking at Elijah's body, Bai Wu saw another note:
I have good news and bad news. I'll tell you the bad news first - the crew of Journey to the West doesn't recruit dead monsters, so this corpse is useless. Remember to open its belly and take out the key before destroying it. The good news is that Elijah's special way of death allows you to obtain Talent Sequence 76: Taotie.
Bai Wu still remembered that Liu Mu had asked him to look at Talent Sequence 75: Absolute Dissolution. He also glanced at Talent Sequence 76: Taotie - the ability to devour the opponent and gain some of the opponent's characteristics.
Combined with Elijah's curious body, Bai Wu now understood why it was noted that he would not like this sequence very much.
He had no interest in the flesh of the evildoers. Even if he starved to death or jumped from the 19th floor, he would never eat a single bite of the evildoers.
"The key is in the evil's stomach. We have to take it out before we can go to the third building."
