Yan Jiu never joked with Bai Wu. Although Bai Wu didn't understand why things turned out this way at first, he figured it out soon.
"Ever since Yan Jiu got married, I felt that something was wrong... Yan Zizai's attention to Yan Jiu must have been noticed by the Yan family's ancestor."
"He used this to test Yan Zizai's loyalty, but perhaps because it involved Yan Jiu, who was so proud, he did not give the Yan family ancestor the reaction he wanted."
"Could it be that because of this, the ancestor of the Yan family did not think of using Yan Jiu to consolidate Yan Zizai's loyalty, but instead wanted to get rid of Yan Zizai?"
Bai Wu thought this speculation was ridiculous, but it suddenly emerged in his mind like intuition.
His intuition was always accurate. Of course, he did not express these thoughts, but comforted himself:
"Don't be impatient. Tell me why you think Yan Zizai is missing?"
"My uncle made an appointment with me to visit me every morning, and he emphasized this yesterday. But he didn't come today... He said before that he would find an important person to plead for me and let me return to the mental hospital..."
"The big shot didn't agree to him." Bai Wu said.
"Well... and my brother came over today, and he told me that no one would come to see me..."
Yan Jiu did not mention that Yan Zhisui's attitude was like a change of face. When he was in the mental hospital, he at least pretended to be nice, but when he arrived at the Yan family manor, he did not hide his disgust for Yan Jiu at all.
Bai Wu asked again:
"Did Yan Zizai tell me what mission he would be carrying out in the near future?"
"No... Uncle said there are no missions these days."
Bai Wu thought about it and realized that this matter was all based on his intuition. Although Yan Jiu would not lie, he would only take action after finding enough evidence to prove his inference.
At this time, Yan Jiu said again:
"Bai Wu, is my uncle okay?"
"It's okay. Those of us who often leave the tower always leave the tower urgently due to some special circumstances. And what kind of person is your uncle? No one in the tower can beat him."
This sentence was naturally to comfort Yan Jiu.
Judging from the tone on the phone, Yan Jiu didn’t seem to know her situation yet, or maybe she knew but because she believed in someone in her heart, she was not very scared.
After thinking for a while, Bai Wu said:
"I'll go look for Yan Zizai. He'll be fine. You don't have to worry. Also, you may encounter some unpleasant things recently. These things may make you very sad, but don't resist."
If Yan Zizai could disappear, Bai Wu would have to re-evaluate the ruthlessness of the Yan family's ancestor. Is this ancestor as ruthless as Zhong Xu
"Okay... I'll listen to you, but Bai Wu... you will come and pick me up, right?"
"Yes, I will take you back."
"Okay! I'll wait for you then!"
The feeling of impending storm became stronger and stronger, and Bai Wu suddenly realized that his move of using Bai Xiaoyu to change Yan Zizai might be a mistake.
Perhaps some of the changes in Yan Zizai will cause him to encounter some setbacks in certain aspects in the future that he shouldn't have encountered.
Especially after the death of the last lurker, with Yan Zizai's personality, I'm afraid he would confront the ancestor of the Yan family directly, right
This must have violated the taboo of the ancestor of the Yan family.
Originally, Bai Wu thought that doing so would weaken the power within the Yan family, but after the trip to the Mechanical City, Bai Wu's opinion of Yan Zi had changed, and he actually felt a little worried.
…
…
Next, Bai Wu went to the bottom floor and asked several people there whether Yan Zizai had ever left the tower.
The members of the Investigation Corps who were in charge of registering and investigating when leaving the tower were of course very familiar with Bai Wu's face. People who could enter and exit blue or even more dangerous colored stone tablets were always impressive, not to mention that Bai Wu left the tower so frequently.
"There is indeed someone who fits your description... Oh, by the way, I have seen that person before, he was in your team last time!"
Although this recorder had higher and higher expectations for the lower limit of the color level of the stone tablet that Bai Wu would choose when leaving the tower, and sometimes even sneered at Bai Wu coming back from the blue stone tablet or even the purple stone tablet, he would still be submissive when facing Bai Wu himself.
Bai Wu also roughly understood that the person was Yan Zizai.
He touched his chin with a complicated look in his eyes.
"It's really Yan Zizai? Where would the Yan family ancestor let him go at this time?"
"It's the red zone." The recorder said in as calm a tone as possible.
"Red zone?"
After hearing about the red area, Bai Wu's face showed a solemn look, realizing that things were becoming increasingly wrong.
On the contrary, the recorder looked calm. It seemed that the red area was just an ordinary area. Although he had never been there, he had seen others go there, so those who could not go to this area were all rookies.
"Did he enter the red zone through the red stone tablet? Has anyone else entered the red zone in the past three days?"
"No... it's just a traditional art of the adults! We haven't entered the red zone recently." The recorder was very proud.
Traditional arts
Bai Wu understood. What the recorder meant was that he entered from the blue stone tablet, but found that the color hints given by the stone tablet were different. He suddenly felt that, could it be that the recorder had been observing the situation when he left the tower
"Okay, I get it. Thank you for your hard work. By the way, what's your name?"
"Your Excellency, my name is Yun Wanjia!"
"Xiao Yun, remember not to tell anyone that I came to consult you, otherwise you might be in danger."
When Yun Wanjia heard that there was danger, he immediately became a little scared:
"I promise I won't tell anyone."
"Well, don't be so deliberate, just pretend nothing happened."
After giving the instructions, Bai Wu left in a hurry.
Originally, he had made an appointment with Lin Wurou, Yin Shuang and others today. As the captain of the seventh team, he also needed to know the situation of the members of the seventh team.
Especially Lin Wu Rou and others have been watched by several other members of the supervision team recently. The people from the Pang family, the Liu family, and the Wang family are not easy to deal with. He is very worried that Lin Wu Rou and others will not be able to cope with it.
In fact, Lin Wurou and the others were indeed in a lot of trouble. During the more than one week that Bai Wu and the others were in the Mechanical City, Lin Wurou, Yin Shuang, Wang Shi, and Shang Xiaoyi left the tower three times in total.
After coming back three times, several people were ridiculed by the inspection team.
But in each of the three times, Lin Wurou and the others made some progress. This progress was far less than that of Bai Wu and Wu Jiu, but it was more than what they had gained from leaving the tower before.
At least without Wujiu's protection, after Bai Wu's observation, they felt more fully the danger outside the tower.
Now Bai Wu had to change his plan and temporarily cancel his meeting with Lin Wu Rou and others. He had to go to the Xie family.
"Yan Zizai entered the red area through the stone tablets of other colors, which means that the area he went to was not a random area, but he went there according to the area number he got."
"The recent tower exit records show that he has not entered the red zone. This means that Yan Zizai did not enter a new area, but an area that someone has been to for more than three days. But the problem is that both traction wheels are here with me... How did he get there?"
"Can Yan Zizai handle the red zone alone?"
Although Bai Wu believed that Yan Zizai was very capable, he did not think that Yan Zizai could handle the red zone alone.
Things seemed increasingly wrong, so Bai Wu decided to go to the Xie family.
…
…
The fifth floor of the tower, the twentieth floor of the Xie Family Technology Building.
When he saw Xie Yingjie again, Bai Wu didn't say any pleasantries and went straight to the point:
"Professor Xie, I came here today to ask you something. How many people are there in your eight families?"
"Traction wheel? This thing is shared by the rulers. After you killed Zhong Xu, it no longer exists in the open." Xie Yingjie didn't quite understand Bai Wu's intention.
Bai Wu continued:
"On the surface? So it's actually possible?"
"The manufacturing of the traction wheel is very special. I have tried to study it before, but I couldn't crack the mystery inside. It seems to have only one more function than the ordinary return wheel, but the explanation given by Zero to me is that this function involves some space-time rules beyond technology. This thing cannot be mass-produced."
"Does Zero have anything else to say?"
"Yes, he told me that the forces outside the tower have this."
"Forces outside the tower?"
Bai Wu was startled.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, I just want to know something."
"You ask."
"I have fought with Zhong Xu before. He is very powerful. Is Zhong Xu the strongest among the rulers?"
Xie Yingjie shook his head and said very clearly:
"Of course not. Zhong Xu is very troublesome. The forces outside the tower behind this person have many magical powers. They are the most active in recent years. Zhong Xu is also very powerful, but he is not the strongest. At least the warlord of the Qin family is stronger than Zhong Xu."
Bai Wu nodded and narrowed his eyes:
"You've been observing them all these years?"
"Yes, I have been observing them. Why do you ask? Which one has offended you again?"
"Not really. Can you tell me about the rulers of the other clans? I mean, the strength of immortals like you?"
Xie Yingjie sensed the hidden meaning of Bai Wu's words:
"Looks like you're going to make a big move?"
Bai Wu just smiled and didn't respond.
Xie Yingjie said:
"As for the other six families, the earliest battle between us was when we were consolidating our position as rulers a long, long time ago. The Qin family's great warlord was called Qin Ye. My data shows that he has the strongest personal and comprehensive strength. I can't see his sequence because he has some kind of anti-detection sequence hidden in him. But his danger level is very high, so I always think he is the most troublesome. In the high tower, he may not be able to fight against our Xie family, but personally, he definitely has the ability to fight to the death with other families."
"As for the remaining families, they were actually still very weak when I fought them. Of course, I was also very weak at that time. It's just that no one knows what happened to them in the past seven hundred years. But what is certain is that in terms of danger level, they are all at the same level as Zhong Xu."
Bai Wu understood, and he suddenly said:
"What is the sequence of the Yan family's ancestor?"
"The strongest abilities of these people are not visible to the public. Sometimes they even feel that the guardians are stronger than them, but no one knows whether the forces outside the tower behind them will give them some powerful abilities." Xie Yingjie said.
"For example, the Yan family?"
"Yes, the Yan family has always hidden its core industries. For example, the Qin family's big warlord, on the surface, everyone thinks he is the boss of your investigation corps and the Zhenyu corps, but in fact, the core combat power he controls is not these at all. And what about the Zhong family? On the surface, the Zhong family only controls the entertainment industry, but Zhong Xu's real big customers are all outside the tower."
“The Yan family is no exception. They hide very deeply, but there are no secrets in the tower. We have been fighting each other for seven hundred years, and we all know it.
The Yan family is conducting some kind of experiment on humans, and this experiment fascinates Yan Chao. Seven hundred years ago, Yan Chao has been trying to find a way for humans to evolve perfectly. He always believes that there is a balance between humans and evil, and he claims that he has seen this kind of existence. "
Isn't the perfect existence between humans and evil just half-evil
He has the strength of the fallen evil, can master the human sequence, the fallen evil entries, has a human appearance, can even reproduce, and has a nearly endless lifespan like the fallen evil.
Bai Wu only knows of a very small number of semi-evil ones.
One is Jiang Yimi, one of our own, and the other is the black-robed judge whom we learned about on Huangquan Island.
The black-robed judge has yet to be confirmed, but the judge can leave Huangquan Island and, like Jiang Yimi, can separate part of his obsession.
This seems to indicate that the judge is half evil.
Could it be that Yan Chao has met the judge
It was as if a light bulb suddenly flashed in my mind, and certain things were suddenly connected together by the white mist.
"The reason why the cursed woman was on the plane and why Yan Jiu lost his emotions was because Yan Chao had done some kind of experiment on the cursed woman, causing her to become evil after she became pregnant..."
"Finally, the cursed woman boarded the reincarnation flight... And on the reincarnation flight, there was a strong man hiding. He was guarded by the reincarnation of Mu Nai Yin."
"The judge's goal is to find the Tic Tic strongman and revive him... Yan Chao may really be related to the judge."
These inferences were instantly completed in Bai Wu's mind.
Xie Yingjie's words brought Bai Wu back to reality:
"The guardians of the Yan family and the Zheng family are both very powerful, and they both have coveted sequences. These sequences cannot be copied and are unique. They are also miracles created by the guardians' continuous training outside the tower for seven hundred years. Although Yan Chao does not have them, don't underestimate him because the forces behind him may have other gifts."
"If my Xie family is the strongest in the tower, then Yan Chao is likely to be the strongest outside the tower."
After listening to these words, Bai Wu now realized that Yan Zizai was quite pitiful, because Yan Zizai knew very little about the Yan family.
Various inferences and clues indicate that Yan Chao may have really taken action against Yan Zizai, most likely because Yan Zizai possessed a powerful sequence.
"That is to say, according to some exaggerated idea, Yan Chao might be able to use the evil power as a human?"
"This is just a hypothesis, but it is indeed possible. This is an era where evil dominates the world. Even if humans retreat to high towers, the evil can still infiltrate."
Xie Yingjie paused and continued:
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me why you're asking these questions?"
Bai Wu thought about it and decided that there was no need to hide it from Xie Yingjie:
"Since he will be very powerful outside the tower, then we can just deal with him inside the tower. I plan to force my way into the Yan family."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Yingjie was stunned:
"Break into the Yan family? What are you going to do? Start a rebellion with the Survey Corps?"
"How is that possible? Not to mention that I don't have that kind of power, even if I do, it's not suitable for too many people to do it. Don't worry, I'm not going to destroy the Yan family. I'm not confident enough to force Yan Chao into a desperate situation. I just want to ask him something."
"… "
Xie Yingjie looked at Bai Wu's serious expression and knew that he was not joking. He was speechless. Bai Wu asked so many questions just to know the strength of the Yan family and assess the risks? Should we say he is a reckless man? Or is he a reckless man? Or is he a reckless man
After holding it in for a long time, Xie Yingjie asked:
"When do you plan to do it? In what capacity?"
"Right away. As an old friend of ours."
