The fifth floor of the tower. Yan Family Manor.
The ancestor of the Yan family looked at the ceiling above the forbidden area with a calm face. For a long time, the fifth floor had not been invaded.
Even though that group of people fought fiercely back then, and the entire fifth floor was like a survival battlefield where only eight out of seven could survive, that group of people were still on the fifth floor after all.
At least since the beginning of the tower era, no lower-class person has ever been able to climb to such a high position.
So much so that Yan Chao sometimes wondered, if all the people on the fifth floor died, would the people on the sixth floor intervene
I wonder if these specific “them” would hope that these so-called immortals can survive for a long time
If not, why would they be granted eternal life? Why would they be allowed to guard this place for seven hundred years
Yan Chao shook his head slowly, feeling a powerful aura. After all, he was thinking too much.
In the past seven hundred years, only one madman has climbed up there. These rulers who have sat firmly in the tower for seven hundred years did not dare to cross that line.
It was a rare day for a foreign enemy to invade, and Yan Chao thought deeply about it for a moment.
He felt the footsteps in the distance, felt the powerful aura, and suddenly felt it was natural. In the past seven hundred years, because humans had never set foot here, the defense of the fifth floor was not that exaggerated.
Of course, this time the Yan family was caught off guard. Many external forces cannot be controlled instantly.
"It's been a peaceful seven hundred years. What's the point if it's just the eight of us fighting each other?"
Thinking of this, Yan Chao was actually a little looking forward to it.
…
…
Bai Wu looked at the many containers displayed in the forbidden area. The labels on the containers seemed to indicate the time when these people were put into the containers. The latest batch was from half a month ago.
But as the captain of the Seventh Squad of the Investigation Corps, he had not received any reports about missing persons from the interrogation team including Tian Xun and Yun Shu.
Since Zhong Xu's death, the disappearance of girls has stopped. Although Bai Wu still ordered people to continue investigating, pretending that everything was normal.
But looking at the large number of containers displayed in the forbidden laboratory, Bai Wu thought of the scene he saw in the Mechanical City.
The president of the Tower God Society set up a Mechanicus, and the scene was similar to this, except that the people displayed on both sides became living people.
All kinds of living people who don’t look like living people.
Some of them died, and some were half dead. You know, the only way for humans to become evil is through the special rules outside the tower and emotional transformation. Other methods are pure speculation without any basis.
The people you see, as experimental subjects, are actually based on the same principle - no matter what their physique is, they are first taken outside the tower and injected with evil body fluids, serum, or other things. Then they are sent into the tower, and as long as they are not dead, they will be studied carefully, not only studying them, but also studying their family members who have not yet become experimental subjects.
Prejudice is a variant of ignorance. The ruler firmly believes that all this is related to genes, but if it is related to genes, how can mechanization explain it
Bai Wu's hands clenched into fists unconsciously as he looked at the miserable conditions of the people on both sides and the painful and hideous expressions of the experimental subjects in the containers. He could imagine the intense pain they would suffer after the evil blood was injected into their bodies.
As they were put into the containers, it would be fine if they died, but if they didn't, this kind of pain would almost always accompany them.
This is just what I saw. It is unknown whether there are humans who were destroyed by the rules of the tower.
It is hard to imagine... how someone like Yan Zizai could still believe in the ancestor of the Yan family wholeheartedly after seeing such a scene.
Bai Wu soon got the answer.
The dim forbidden experimental field was illuminated after turning a corner.
The light source simulated by the fifth-floor ceiling during the day fell on a small circle where Yan Chao was, observing the plants.
When the white fog came, he smiled:
"It's not easy to force your way here. I admire your skills."
"You don't seem afraid of me?" Bai Wu said.
Yan Chao said:
"Everyone in the world comes for profit. Since you didn't kill anyone from my Yan family, but only seriously injured them, it is obvious that you don't have a blood feud with my Yan family. Even if there is, I believe that as long as we are sincere enough, we can resolve your hatred."
Bai Wu had to admit that Yan Chao already had 30% of Bai Yuan's temperament, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Of course, there is still some gap compared to Bai Yuan's powerful charm that seems to make people feel that the surroundings become brighter.
But I have to say, this person gives a very good first impression.
There was no evil aura at all. It was obviously this person who committed the heinous crime against the female villain on the plane, leading to the tragedy of Yan Jiu and the entire Yan family.
It was obviously this person who killed just as many people as Zhong Xu, but... he just didn't have that kind of evil feeling.
Bai Wu quickly understood what was going on.
Bai Yuan's hypocritical mask relies on his insight into people's hearts, his flawless reasoning about the things around him, and his own powerful aura and charm.
Yan Chao is also extremely handsome, but after coming to this world, Bai Wu also saw Lin Wurou, Yan Zizai, and even Aige, all of whom have their own charms, and he has no feeling for "beauty".
He even thought that if one day he didn't want to leave the tower anymore, he could write a female-oriented "Tower Men's Illustrated Book" to please the ladies on the third floor.
In short, Yan Chao's temperament and appearance only account for a small part, and he relies on the sequence.
This man's charm is very strange. Unlike you and me, who have a natural temperament like a lotus flower emerging from clear water, this man has a "special packaging". Talent sequence 25 - Integrator, to be honest, I never lie, I hate the fraudsters in front of me, but I hate this Integrator behind me even more! Because he is really that kind of... very special kind... White Lotus sequence.
Talent Sequence 25—Integrator.
The description of this sequence is very simple, and it will give the sequence owner unimaginable affinity and sense of identity, and he will unconsciously open his heart to it and treat it as his own.
This seems to be a social talent, but in fact, this talent also has the ability similar to that of a fraudster.
It’s just that fraudsters need to deceive others, make people believe lies, and gain power by deceiving others.
Those who integrate do not need to lie, they just need to gain people's recognition. In the long process of gaining recognition, they will slowly gain the power of others.
To give a simple example, if a fraudster wants to gain someone's power, he will find a way to make that person believe a false statement.
What about the integrator? He doesn’t need to care whether a statement is right or wrong. He just needs to tell the other person: Great, we think the same way, we must be close friends!
Although the description was not that in-depth, Bai Wu's reading comprehension has always been good, and he quickly understood the basics of this ability through his own perception.
It suddenly occurred to him that if a person simultaneously obtained the all-seeing Eye of Preyer, a fraudster who could gain power through deception, and an integrator who could gain trust by identifying with and integrating with others... this person could basically be said to be a social king, omnipresent.
It's simply the three-piece set of scumbag.
Facts have proven that Cain and the Yan family's ancestors are both scumbags. Bai Wu sneered at the two of them.
"That's right. Everyone in this world comes for profit. I am indeed here for someone, huhuhuhuhuhuhu."
With the hammer in his hand, the evil ghost mask, and the strange laughter, Yan Chao was unable to judge Bai Wu's true intentions for a moment, so he said:
"That makes things much easier. I should thank you for not killing the Yan family."
Unlike when Yan Zizai was by his side, when he didn't care about other people's opinions and believed that only Chunqiu knew his merits and demerits, Yan Chao now seemed very humble.
Seven hundred years ago, he captured the evil woman who had her caesarean sectioned on the plane in this way. Of course, at that time, Yan Chao relied on his personal charm, which had nothing to do with the sequence.
In the past seven hundred years, the rulers rarely met each other, and the role of those who integrated had little impact on other rulers. But outside the tower, Yan Chao also integrated into the forces outside the tower by disguising himself as a villain.
He has the confidence that anyone in front of him will feel close to him, and he can act in any way that people like and regard as a confidant.
He looked at Bai Wu and felt a surge of confidence, and even wanted to bring Bai Wu under his command.
And what about Bai Wu? Bai Wu decided to temporarily imagine this person as Bai Yuan. Although affected by the sequence, his hostility towards Yan Chao decreased visibly.
But with his own will, and the prior guidance and help of the Eye of Prell, Yan Chao gradually overlapped with Bai Yuan.
When he saw Yan Chao again, Bai Wu instantly became full of hatred and became much more rational. The principle was just like that he needed to rely on the pot to empathize with others when he entered the world of the telephone booth.
The terrifying murderous intent instantly spread throughout the Yan family.
Bai Wu didn't really want to kill Bai Yuan, but just wanted to use this momentum to make Yan Chao hit a wall.
Yan Chao felt this breath... His expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with shock.
"Why is there no effect... And it makes me even more hostile... This shouldn't be the case..."
Yan Chao hid his confusion with a smile.
Bai Wu said:
"Stop laughing. You don't look good when you laugh. Haha. You must be curious about who I am."
It was the first time that Yan Chao was called ugly. His face looked really ugly, but it only lasted for a moment before returning to normal.
"If you are willing to say it, I would be very happy to make friends with you." Yan Chao still appeared very humble.
Bai Wu couldn't help but sigh that Yan Chao, at his trash level, might be even better than the Hundred-Winged Angel Orange.
But unfortunately, he met Mr. Bai today.
"Oh, if I tell you that you have to be friends with me? I don't want to do that."
"… "
Yan Chao was silent for a second:
"Then why don't you tell me who you are looking for? If I know him, I will let him know."
Yan Chao actually wanted to launch an attack on Bai Wu, but he didn't know the details. Under the influence of the apostle, Bai Wu could not be sensed by Xie Yingjie using mechanical data, nor could he be sensed by mental power, unless his strength could reach the level of No. 0 Jingwu.
In short, Bai Wu already knows Yan Chao's biggest trump card, but Yan Chao doesn't know Bai Wu's trump card yet. So although Yan Chao has the ability to defeat Bai Wu, he dare not act rashly.
Bai Wu was also very clear about this reason, and therefore acted more naturally:
"The person I'm looking for is called Yan Zizai."
"This is indeed someone from my Yan family. I wonder what you want from him?"
"none of your business."
Yan Chao's breathing became a little rapid, but soon became smooth again, and he smiled and said:
"After all, I am from the Yan family, so I must find out the whole story."
"None of my business."
Bai Wu was also laughing, but Yan Chao couldn’t see it because of the evil ghost mask.
Yan Chao's eyes twitched, but he didn't get angry in the end.
Bai Wu admired the subtle changes in his facial expressions and said:
"He owes us Black Gold Island a debt. Last time in the Mechanical City, he ruined our good deeds. I even suspect that Fatty Zhong's death is related to him! If you don't say it, don't blame me for being rude. Ha ha ha ha, you can choose not to say it. I am looking forward to being able to move around more."
Yan Chao's heart was filled with shock.
Black Gold Island? Is this person from Black Gold Island
Yan Chao certainly didn't believe Bai Wu's statement completely, but he didn't completely disbelieve it either. It sounds absurd that forces outside the tower can enter the tower, but if the other party is human... it can be done.
Because there was a similar situation among the immortals back then.
He had also heard of Black Gold Island. This place was very famous among the forces outside the tower, even more famous than Yellow Spring Island.
Especially some of the equipment on Bai Wu's body is obviously a spirit-infused item...
Of course, what shocked him most was that Zhong Xu was dead.
Bai Wu also guessed that the biggest shock to Yan Chao must have been the news of Zhong Xu's death. That was great, immortals rarely met, and the Zhong and Xie families kept their mouths shut, which allowed him to use Zhong Xu's death to show off a second time.
Zhong Xu's death will be exposed sooner or later. After thinking about it, Bai Wu thinks that this time and this method are appropriate to expose it.
"Black Gold Island... Zhong Xu is dead?"
The force behind Zhong Xu is Black Gold Island, and so is the force behind the Qin family. Yan Chao is very clear about this.
He could not imagine that Zhong Xu, one of the eight people, was dead! Although everyone wanted this disgusting fat man to die for seven hundred years, to some extent, everyone wanted everyone else to be alive, because no one wanted to face the changes and catastrophes without a companion.
No one knows how long the stability of the tower will last, whether the existence of the sixth floor will suddenly appear, and whether the evil outside the tower will be able to enter the tower one day...
For seven hundred years, because of each other's existence, the eight people have thought that perhaps their rule can be eternal.
But now, Zhong Xu is dead.
This seemed to be telling Yan Chao that royal power was not eternal.
Bai Wu was very satisfied with the other party's attitude and said:
"I don't mind having one less ruler in the tower. I need to know the whereabouts of Yan Zizai. Haha, haha, haha. I am a very down-to-earth person. I will settle my business once and for all. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its owner. If you want to protect the dog, I will beat you too. If you know what's going on, I will let you go."
The meaning of these words is very clear. Either you protect Yan Zizai and die, or you hand over Yan Zizai and live.
Yan Zizai is no longer of any value to Yan Chao. If the strange man with the evil ghost mask in front of him is really from Black Gold Island, he does not want to offend him.
Feeling that he could not integrate with the other party, after getting along with them, Yan Chao gave up and said with a little frustration:
"Yan Zizai went outside the tower."
"The area number tells me."
This sentence undoubtedly exposed his intention to return to the roulette wheel, but Bai Wu didn't care. I am from Black Gold Island anyway. If you don't agree, go find my boss Jingwu!
Yan Chao hesitated for a second and then said the number.
There is a science to lying. Lies often need to be accompanied by the truth to be credible, and the more weight the truth carries, the more credible it is.
Although Yan Chao had not verified Zhong Xu's death, considering that the Zhong family had been keeping a low profile recently, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
So gradually, he began to believe that Bai Wu came from Black Gold Island. He didn't want to offend the people of Black Gold Island. After all, the force behind him was no match for Black Gold Island before he hijacked the flight and found that great existence.
After Bai Wu wrote down the number, he walked to Yan Chao, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"You're pretty good. Just a bit of a bitch. It would have been better if you were like this from the beginning. Why do you have to pretend to be so elegant and easy-going? Hohohoho, bye!"
Bai Wu walked out with a swagger. He really liked the feeling that although you are stronger than me, you just don't dare to hit me.
Thinking about it carefully, Yan Chao seemed even more fearful after he revealed the identity of the forces outside the tower, even though their strength had not changed at all.
He suddenly thought of some situations in his previous life.
Some people always think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder, so after kneeling for too long, they can never stand up again.
When leaving the Yan family, a note suddenly popped up in my eyes:
As your personal advisor, I must tell you that the area you are about to go to, as it is your first time entering, all your belongings will be taken away, so you'd better find a place to hide your belongings and wait to wear them when you enter the second time, because your identity will change when you enter that place for the second time.
Why is it a riddle again? In what kind of place would one be deprived of personal belongings
Bai Wu didn't know where he was going. He really wanted to ask Yan Chao, but he was afraid that if he asked too many questions, he would reveal something. Yan Chao would not always be so timid. The longer he stayed in Yan's house, the greater the possibility that he would be found out.
especially…
Yan Zizai was not bad. So good that Bai Wu was willing to risk his life for such a person.
