Bai Wu wanted to meet Xie Yingjie for two reasons. The first was to seek help from those in the tower, and the second was to find out about the forces outside the tower that were behind Xie Yingjie's deal.
Although no one had told Bai Wu explicitly, he was able to infer that there must be forces outside the tower behind the rulers.
His time was very tight. Apart from the affairs in the tower itself, Hong Yin was still waiting for him.
"You are speaking in a very arrogant manner. Although you said in the previous sentence that we do not restrict the speech and thoughts of people who think they are capable, your current ability has not been recognized by us. If you think you have extraordinary martial arts, I can tell you responsibly that your strength is not worth mentioning to the Xie family."
"I'll change my words. I want to see Xie Yingjie."
As a highly implanted body created according to Xie Yingjie's will, "Mo Cheng" is not the Mo Cheng that Bai Wu saw. That Mo Cheng is in the "eggshell" in Xuanhui City, sealed with a group of scientists.
The interviewer in front of him, through a series of operations, looked like "Mo Cheng" and inherited Mo Cheng's identity.
"How did you know that name?"
"Denglin City."
What Bai Wu wanted to ensure was to see Xie Yingjie as soon as possible. He didn't care whether it was the head of the Xie family or some important people who served the head of the family.
When the word "Denglin City" was mentioned, Bai Wu felt a sense of déjà vu, as if someone was saying with a vicissitudes of life on his face: Old Xie, do you still remember Old Tao by the Daming Lake
These three words really gave Mo Cheng a different reaction.
He even froze.
"I'm from Denglin City. I met an old friend of Xie Yingjie on the 20th floor of the Science and Technology Building in Denglin City. He's not doing well now."
At this moment, on the 20th floor of the Science and Technology Building, the current head of the Xie family, Xie Pei, was asking Xie Yingjie a difficult question.
The topic they originally discussed was the feasibility of an "emotionally closed system."
Once this system is realized, humans will be able to change their emotions freely. The civilians at the bottom will no longer feel oppressed and exploited. Their daily working hours will double, their rest time and salary will be halved, but they will become happier.
But this kind of emotional closure is not so much a closure as it is a kind of cognitive transformation, such as reversing the cognition of "bitterness", "tiredness" and "pain".
The program has now reached the clinical trial stage.
At this time, Xie Pei, who was nearly fifty years old and looked a little vicissitudes of life, looked at the living knowledge base on the 20th floor of the Xie family, which seemed to never age and was always young, and said:
"Sir, I remember you said that you wanted to take back Denglin City if you had a chance?"
This gentleman is naturally Xie Yingjie.
The topic suddenly stopped, and Xie Yingjie realized something was wrong:
"What happened down there?"
Xie Pei said:
"It's like this. The current head of the Zhong family seems to be very anxious these days. Our analysis department believes that his anxiety has exceeded the fact that he and the Qin family have been isolated by us. There must be something else going on."
"Have you found out what happened?"
"Not yet, but not long ago, the most disliked son of the current head of the Qin family, Qin Zong, asked to bring a man named Bai Wu to talk to us, saying that he would give us important intelligence."
Seeing that Xie Yingjie didn't say anything, Xie Pei continued:
"We checked and found out that Bai Wu and Gu Qingyu are the ones that our order team is monitoring. But you won't believe it, but after the order team was set up and we interviewed them, they left the tower twice in just a few days."
"In addition, Zhong Xue, the guardian of the Zhong family, is missing."
Xie Yingjie was not interested in these trivial matters. The disappearance and replacement of the most powerful warriors at the bottom level, or the guardians of other families, were not worth mentioning on the fifth level.
Xie Pei also immediately got to the point:
"Just now, Bai Wu came to visit us, and he said something strange. The purpose of his coming here was to meet Xie Yingjie, our ancestor."
Xie Yingjie has been on the 20th floor of the Xie Family Technology Building and seldom goes out. As a think tank, few people know his name since the seventh generation.
Until hundreds of years later, even the heads of the families didn't know who this person was. They only knew that if they had questions they didn't understand, they would go to the 20th floor.
As the current head of the family, Xie Pei knew that this person had an extraordinary status, but he didn't know that this person... was Xie Yingjie.
Their ancestors.
Xie Yingjie said:
"The three words Denglin City explain this place."
"He said he was from Denglin City. He met an old friend on the 20th floor of the Denglin City Science and Technology Building. This old friend is not doing well now."
Xie Yingjie's expression changed:
"Let him come to see me. You go and do your work first. I will give you an improved plan later on some of the plans proposed by the implant faction. This direction is very good. Now, let Bai Wu come up. During this period, no one is allowed to disturb me."
Although Xie Pei is the patriarch of the Xie family, he knows that the Xie family cannot do without this Xie family think tank who sits on the 20th floor.
He left very respectfully.
…
…
Bai Wu walked into the elevator again, and Mo Cheng followed Bai Wu to the 20th floor.
In the elevator, Bai Wu looked at Mo Cheng, wondering how much of the "real thing" there was in this imitation of Mo Cheng.
Or is he just a shell for nostalgia
Xie Yingjie, over the course of seven hundred years, was chosen from seventy-two candidates for immortal rulers and became a local overlord. How much has he changed in this process
The twentieth floor was soon reached, and Mo Cheng said:
"Please pay attention to the language you use. If you offend him, I will kill you. Your power is meaningless inside this mechanical fortress."
"I thought we were family. Relax. I'm just here to seek protection and flattery." He ignored Mo Cheng.
Bai Wu walked out of the elevator door.
At first glance, the building on the 20th floor looks the same as the original Denglin Technology Headquarters. There are no laboratories here.
The entire 20th floor belongs to Xie Yingjie alone.
There are places for dining, places for entertainment and rest, places for work, and some rooms with special devices.
The layout was similar to many of the experimental chambers Bai Wu had seen in his previous life, but because of the art design on the walls, some scrolling memory image exhibitions, and some technological models, it looked quite "young." There was no trace of oldness at all.
Just like Xie Yingjie himself in the office.
The electronic table was huge. When the white fog came in, Xie Yingjie was looking at the 3D model map on the electronic table.
Bai Wu was familiar with this map. It was the map of Denglin City.
Relying on the Eye of Prell, Bai Wu believes that he is always the cheating party in terms of the amount of information.
But this time, he met his match.
This feeling is not good. He really has no hostility towards you, but soon your biggest secret will be exposed.
As for this person, he is really boring and has done almost nothing else in the past seven hundred years. The possibility of him leaving the tower with you is also very low. As for his talent sequence... it is not a top sequence, or the talent sequence is not something worth cherishing for him, of course... except for me.
Weird note, my biggest secret
Bai Wu suddenly felt something was wrong. Zhong Xu was in danger, and so was Xie Yingjie.
But the dangers of the two are not of the same nature.
Bai Wu once thought, if one day, there was someone in this world who was smarter than him and also possessed the Eye of Prell...
So, do I have a chance of winning against this person? Xie Yingjie seems to have this ability.
For the first time, he felt like he was being seen through.
"sit down."
He has no friends and no lover. According to the files he saw in Denglin City before, Xie Yingjie and Professor Tao were both the kind of people who would disregard everything for academic research.
But in fact, Xie Yingjie is very charming. Although he is not as good as the one from the Yan family, he is still a handsome man.
"You are more interesting than I thought. I was just thinking that you are only a level 7 danger person. If you have been to Denglin City, you will definitely not come back. Now I know that you have a special talent in your body."
Bai Wu was relieved. So this is what the eyes meant. Xie Yingjie could see through his own sequence...
This is an ability that has nothing to do with the sequence, because even the Eye of Balance and the Eye of Insight cannot see through oneself.
Bai Wu was very calm. Xie Yingjie saw this and said:
“Your danger level is level seven, which means it’s very easy to kill you.
But your mental danger level is assessed as level twelve, which means that if you are not killed physically but attacked mentally, you will become extremely dangerous. It seems that there is something very dangerous hidden in your mind. "
"But what's interesting is that your companion power is all focused on survivability and attack power. At first, I even thought there was something wrong with the data. I really want to dig into your brain and study it, but judging from the danger level, this seems to be a very reckless thing to do."
"By the way, what kind of talent sequence is the Eye of Prell? The talent sequence table comes from the sixth layer, but in the past seven hundred years, other sequences have appeared, but there are twelve sequences that have never appeared. Eleven of them are sequences one to eleven."
"And the Eye of Prell is very special. It is ranked twenty-fourth, but in the past seven hundred years, you are the first owner of such an eye that I have seen, unless... there is an error in my information reading."
Bai Wu was indeed stunned by Xie Yingjie's words.
Not only can he see through his own sequence, he can even see through the distribution of his companion power.
The most important thing is, except for sequences one to eleven and the Eye of Prell twenty-four, has Xie Yingjie seen all the sequences
"Your emotional fluctuations are abnormally low. Although you should be surprised by what I said, it seems that you are missing some emotions, so that the emotion of surprise seems very pure. Most people would be surprised with panic after being analyzed like this, but you don't."
What kind of monster is in front of him? How much information does Xie Yingjie know
The Eye of Prell is very mysterious, and its abilities fluctuate greatly, sometimes the information it provides is almost useless, but sometimes it brings extremely critical information.
But at this moment, facing Xie Yingjie, the information given by the eyes is not very useful.
But Bai Wu did not panic, he knew this situation. In his previous life, when he was invited to solve a case, he would also encounter people who would show him off first.
This is a game in which both sides try to weaken their opponent's momentum before the real negotiations come.
Bai Wu said calmly:
"So you don't know the function of the Eye of Preyor. And you were able to analyze me because I am a human and because there are special sequence bands in my body that don't exist. You already had a lot of experimental foundations before this, even if you didn't know how to identify the Eye of Preyor."
"But guess what? I've never had my perception enhanced, so why is my mental power so abnormal? Is this related to the Eye of Prell? You don't even know how the Eye of Prell behaves."
"As for the companion power, there is a way to detect it. You just refined it. There is nothing much to say. By the way, I want to tell you that my mental power has nothing to do with my eyes. I just have an annoying person living in my head."
Xie Yingjie smiled.
The young man was not at all intimidated by his own aura, but rather showed considerable courage.
Bai Wu was indeed right about one thing—Xie Yingjie was not sure what the effect of Sequence 24, Eye of Prell was.
Because the description is too vague.
"The first talent sequence list we got was from the sixth floor. When the complete sequence list fell into our hands, it felt like something made up. Until more and more people awakened the sequence and found the corresponding abilities through the sequence list."
The development of the conversation had nothing to do with Denglin City. After meeting Bai Wu, Xie Yingjie seemed to be more interested in Bai Wu himself.
Bai Wu was also very good at handling things, and followed up with the conversation:
"But the description of the high-level sequences in the sixth-level sequence table is too simple, so you don't know the capabilities of some sequences. For example, the Eye of Prell, this pure perception talent ranked 24th, has only a short sentence introduction, which allows you to see the description of items that fit the style of the hidden side of your personality. In fact, it is not a useful ability, and you don't need to pay too much attention to it. It is more like a combination of the Eye of the Scales and the Eye of the Insight."
Who are you calling the combination of those two pieces of garbage? How can you say I am useless? To prove that I am useful, I will tell you one thing. He is trying to read your other sequences.
Bai Wu frowned:
"I still have Taotie, Five Elements Circulation, Counterattack Without Action, Iron Armor, Enhanced Vision, Band Interference, and Second Level Strength on me. You don't need to read them, let's get down to business."
Xie Yingjie shrugged. No one could have secrets in front of him, but it seemed that this person also knew this, so continuing to analyze the other party would no longer have a deterrent effect.
The conversation had to continue, Xie Yingjie said:
"I don't think you have any secrets that would interest me."
Bai Wu opened the storage bag and continued:
"Since I know you are Xie Yingjie and since you are able to come back from Denglin City, you should understand that I know you are an old monster who has lived for seven hundred years."
Bai Wu thought about it and decided to counterattack:
"By the way, I'll tell you something. I've fought with Jing Si before. Don't use your data to analyze me. Some data can be fake. As a strategic partner, don't you want to get back what you lost in the Mechanical City? Xie Yingjie, do you still want to save Professor Tao?"
Using the information given by his eyes, Bai Wu successfully subdued Xie Yingjie this time.
No human being knows the horror of Jing Si better than Xie Yingjie and Professor Tao.
How did he know that he had left something in the mechanical city? Did the Eye of Prell tell him? Or did he meet Jingliu
Bai Wu's smile became mysterious:
"Of course, in order to prove something, I will show some sincerity first. This is Zhong Xue's head. The guardian of the Zhong family is dead, along with that old monster who has lived for seven hundred years like you—Zhong Xu."
A frozen, round woman's head fell on Xie Yingjie's desk.
Xie Yingjie's expression finally changed:
"You mean Zhong Xu... is dead?"
