The crazy laughter echoed in Mingyu Manor on the third floor of the tower.
The guardians of several ruling families are probably the only ones present who have the ability to stop the masked monster.
But because of the trick of "polar replacement", they did not act rashly, and they did not realize... The same crazy laughter also appeared on the fifth floor.
When the entire third floor lost its power supply and the huge ceiling became dim, this abnormal phenomenon was a dangerous signal that the ruler of the fifth floor could immediately detect.
The other families were fine. Although they had all received intelligence that there were problems at the Yan and Qin families’ weddings, they were not too worried as the guardian was there.
But the Yan family is different.
Although the Qin family did not send out family guardians, they did send out dark guards that were as elite as the two armies.
At least until the masked man asked a riddle, Qin Ye didn't know that the dark guards who were stationed on the third floor to restrain the elite of the two armies with all the guests in the hall had been killed by another masked man.
In the darkness that suddenly fell.
A crazy bride-kidnapping scene is taking place at Mingyu Manor on the third floor, and the fifth floor is actually even crazier.
The Pang family, the Liu family, the Wang family, the Zheng family, and the Qin family were all guessing which family was the one who shut off the power supply to the third level.
Each of them has this ability.
In a black tower on the fifth floor of the tower, there are all the energy control equipment for the lower four floors.
Only the heads of each family and the real rulers can enter and exit this black tower.
Soon, several families sent their core family members to the black tower to find out the secrets.
But in the end, it was discovered... All six families gathered here. The Xie family was the third to arrive. Before that, the Qin family and the Zheng family had already arrived.
After the six families gathered, they found that only the Zhong family and the Yan family had not come. However, Zhong Xu's death was no longer a secret. Would the Zhong family dare to come out and cause trouble at this time? The consequences of offending the Qin family and the Yan family were not something the Zhong family could bear.
The person sent by the Xie family was called Xie Kun, the previous head of the family. He was not immortal, he just had a very long life.
He narrowed his eyes and said:
"Whoever came first, or didn't come, is the most suspicious. But the first to come was the Qin family. This is very interesting. What are you two families doing? Who shut down the power supply on the third floor?"
The Pang family, the Liu family, the Yan family, the Qin family, the Wang family, and the Zheng family were suspicious of each other, and the old man of the Xie family was adding fuel to the fire.
"What's going on? Don't you want to marry your daughter off, so you're directing and acting it yourself? I just got the news, and it's like a magic trick on the third floor. And only the guardian of the Yan family is absent, doesn't that make sense?"
Although the people who came from these families were not the current heads of the families, they were all experienced people and naturally would not easily believe what Xie Kun said.
But the so-called adding fuel to the fire does not necessarily mean making the other party believe it, but letting the other party know that there is this possibility.
The Qin family themselves didn't believe it, but they were the first to arrive, and there was no one else in this black tower.
"Either the Yan family doesn't want to marry their daughter off, or the other party has already left. Interesting, the Zhong family is gone. I have always wondered who did it and why the Zhong family is gone. Speaking of which, the power behind the Zhong family seems to be in agreement with your Qin family? Could this action be aimed at your Qin family?"
In fact, none of the researchers in the Xie family are stupid. Xie Kun's words were like a string of events that happened a long time ago.
So at this moment, people from the five major families all began to doubt each other.
"I have to go back to my Xie family to hide from the limelight. Who knows, the next unlucky ones might not be you two families, but my Xie family. As an old man, I haven't seen the sky outside for a long time. I just hope that the sky inside is still like this."
The people who came from the Wang family are the current family members. This woman felt that Old Man Xie talked a little too much, but perhaps it was also because she knew what he meant.
The people of the Pang family also heard that the Xie family seemed unwilling to get involved in this mess, and he thought this was a wise approach.
So after a few words from each family, they quickly restored the power supply to the third floor, but they kept a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter, and even the wedding of the Yan and Qin families.
They always felt that the Yan family's reaction was strange. It was really incomprehensible that the Qin family came to such a big event, but the Yan family did not.
The reaction of the Yan family was not surprising, but at this moment, the Yan family had no way of distinguishing the people.
Not long ago, a masked evil ghost broke into the Yan family. Although it did not attack Yan Chao, it really frightened everyone in the Yan family.
After this person left, the Yan family began to strengthen their precautions, and Yan Chao did not believe that anyone could escape from that prison.
The same is true for the forces on Jingwu's side. After all, not all evil people are capable of being truly inhumane.
Especially since there is a powerful person like the warden in the prison, with the help of doctors and judges, that place is almost impenetrable.
Yan Chao indeed thought so. Although he also strengthened his precautions, when he saw the masked man again, he found that the so-called precautions were completely meaningless.
This moment is just like that moment the third time.
When Qin Zong asked who he was at the wedding, Bai Wu's crazy reaction was as if he was an evil ghost who came from ninety years ago and demanded lives after both armies were wiped out in the red zone!
The devilish laughter was surprisingly consistent. On the fifth floor, in the Yan family manor, the guards whose minds were gradually bewitched in the gloomy space also heard the laughter floating in the air.
“Hahahahahaha… Who am I? That’s a really good question. I’m a joke that doesn’t fit in with the eight of you, but I’m also the only pioneer besides the eight of you.”
"I am a demon between reality and illusion, and I am also the only sober person in this world!"
The forbidden area of the Yan family was broken into, and one experimental device after another was smashed. The experimental subjects placed in some kind of breeding liquid were finally freed and began to die slowly.
The man wearing the evil ghost mask looked at Yan Chao, and for some reason, Yan Chao felt a sense of familiarity.
It’s not the same person from last time. The person who invaded this time wearing the evil ghost mask is someone else!
"Have you remembered? Who am I? Today, one of us must die. This is not an easy job! Of course, I will try my best to survive, but it would be too much fun to kill you! So I've invested a lot of money this time!"
"Fate is a great writer. It's like a foreshadowing that has been buried for more than 600 years, and it finally came true!"
Riddler, a riddler full of riddles.
Yan Chao couldn't imagine who this person was. All the guards of the Yan family seemed to be shrouded in an illusion.
In this situation, Yan Chao must deal with his opponent alone.
"Nice eyes. You've been on the throne for so long, and have lived in comfort for hundreds of years. Do you still remember how to fight?"
Yan Chao said coldly:
"You are such a mysterious person. Although I don't know who you are, don't think that the Yan family is a place where you can come and go as you please!"
Yan Chao's sequence seems to be very few, and there seems to be only one integration faction, but as a super sequence of one of the three-piece set of the scumbag, this skill represents potential.
God knows how many people’s strength he has gained with this skill in the past seven hundred years
The integration faction is like a kaleidoscope of sequences, which can bring many possibilities to Yan Chao.
Twenty-four iron cavalry appeared beside Yan Chao, their bodies burning with black flames.
Sequence 150, One man is equal to a thousand.
Ninety years ago, in order to make the "purge" go smoothly and to obtain as much surplus value as possible from these dying people, Yan Chao deceived many people by using another identity in order to use his abilities as the captain of the Seventh Squad of the Survey Corps.
In other words, it has integrated a lot of people.
Among them were those who were going to die.
The purge plan was planned by the Qin family, but Yan Chao also reaped the benefits of the blood of his people.
"Interesting ability, looks very powerful. Well, not very harmful, but very entertaining to watch."
The ability to taunt has become a standard feature of the masked monster.
Yan Chao didn't care. Of course, his abilities were far more than that. The twenty-four black flame cavalry suddenly changed their shape and slowly transformed into human form.
To the masked man, it was as if twenty-five Yan Chao appeared in front of him.
Sequence 106, Mimic Energy. Able to change the form of energy created by oneself or the opponent.
When used in combination with mimicry energy and Ikki Tousen, it becomes something comparable to the jutsu of clones.
However, there is a flaw in Yan Chao's integration. After switching sequences several times in a row, there will be a short period of time when it cannot be used, and it is impossible to use many sequences at the same time. It is also impossible to integrate into sequences before 25.
So even though he had once gained Yan Zizai's trust and was able to rely on the Integrator to convert the Eye of Balance and the Eye of Insight, he was unable to do so at this moment.
At the same time, he was unable to integrate into Bai Wu's Eye of Prell and Yan Zizai's polar substitution.
At least before the sequence is advanced, this one of the three pieces of the scumbag set, although very powerful, as long as it gains the trust of enough people, it is equivalent to mastering the power of half of the periodic table.
But there are still many flaws.
But Yan Chao thought that it would not be difficult to defeat this crazy guy in front of him.
"What do you mean by sitting comfortably on the throne for seven hundred years? Masked man, I will make you feel why a ruler is called a ruler!"
"Wahahahahahahaha, I'm so scared, come on, come on! Scare me to death!"
Amidst the swirling black mist, the masked man handed out a playing card.
Like a flying knife that can pierce steel! The card spun at high speed with a strange trajectory, and finally slashed towards Yan Chao's neck!
Yan Chao snorted coldly:
"Withering Insects Skill!"
After easily dodging the attack of the masked monster, Yan Chao's figure completely disappeared.
Sequence 71: Hidden Dragon.
Even the visual sequences such as the Eye of the Insight and the Eye of the Libra cannot reveal the hidden secret. The masked man touched the chin of the mask:
"What a cunning ability, but... this is what's interesting. Killing beings like you so easily just makes me feel that the game is too boring, hahahahahaha!"
The battle between the masked man and the ruler of the tower begins.
As for the third level, with the cooperation of Yan Zizai and Bai Wu, they successfully shocked the entire audience.
Coupled with the words of the Xie family, the rulers of various families and even the Qin family were in a wait-and-see state.
So no one knew that the bride-kidnapping on the third level was just a sleight of hand, and the real highlight was on the fifth level!
…
…
On the bottom floor of the tower, the time was - two days ago.
When Bai Wu brought Yan Zizai back to the tower, the two quickly found a place to stay.
Yan Zizai had so many things he wanted to say to Bai Wu, and Bai Wu also hoped that Yan Zizai could know the next arrangements.
"You said you wanted me to replace him... as ruler?"
"Yes."
"I can not do it… "
"Even if he locked you up in a place like Shudu Prison, even if he knew this day would come, and deliberately educated you to be a person of your character in the mud of the entire Yan family, you can't do it? Your memory is cleared every once in a while. You have lived hundreds of years longer than me, but you don't know a lot of things. You have the strongest strength among the guardians, but you are just a tool for the Yan family. What can't you do?"
Yan Zizai is not a white lotus, he cannot love this world as much as Bai Xiaoyu does. It’s just that the relationship between Yan Chao and him has been like this for hundreds of years, and he has never been able to be cruel enough.
After a few seconds of silence, Yan Zizai said:
"It's not that I still have any illusions about him. In the current Yan family, only Xiao Jiu is worth my concern. But if you want me to destroy the Yan family personally... I can't do it yet."
Bai Wu could understand it. Just like he hated Bai Yuan, he didn't mind who killed Bai Yuan. But if he killed Bai Yuan himself, he couldn't get over it.
"Well, luckily I have found other people to help deal with Yan Chao. With your attitude, you might be bewitched by Yan Chao's integrators. If you are not careful, you, a decent person, will die at the hands of a villain. It will be bad. Originally, it would be the most satisfying for you to take revenge on Yan Chao, but to rebel against the ruler, I have to find a suitable person."
"Who? Five-nine?"
"My captain is so upright, how could I let him get involved in something like this? He still has hope for the tower."
When talking about Wujiu, Bai Wu still admired him very much. He continued:
"It is not appropriate for the captain to get involved in this matter. At least we have to wait until Captain Qin is persuaded to defect. Then it will be appropriate for the captain to get involved."
"So who is it?" Yan Zizai was confused.
To deal with Yan Chao, one would need to be at the level of a guardian, no... even stronger than that. At least Yan Zizai was not sure he could deal with the ancestor.
"Lin Rui?" Yan Zizai asked.
“Hahahaha… Lin Rui is very interesting. His strength is unfathomable. So far, I have never seen him use his full strength. But he promised someone that he would never enter the tower.”
"Who else could it be? Could it be that little girl from that time?"
"Hong Yin? What are you thinking? She is evil and cannot enter the tower. If she could enter the tower, it would save me a lot of trouble."
Bai Wu looked at Yan Zizai with an expression you would never guess.
Yan Zizai frowned, wondering who else could defeat the ruler.
"You also said that in order to defeat the ruler, it would take someone at the ruler's level, both in terms of experience and strength. I happen to know someone like that, but this person... likes to lie."
Yan Zizai didn't understand, and Bai Wu didn't explain too much, but just smiled and said:
"Maybe this time, we'll have a chance to see his true form. Of course, we have to act quickly. After snatching Yan Jiu away and ensuring that everyone at the wedding is safe, we have to rush to the fifth floor to provide support as soon as possible... Well, let's go pick up some bargains."
Bai Wu looked at Yan Zizai with a serious expression:
"You used to stand too high, Yan Zizai, and you couldn't see clearly the people below the clouds. You thought Yan Jiu was the ruler's child like you, and should live a free and easy life like you, but you didn't know that you and Yan Jiu were both part of the tragedy."
"I understand that you don't want to deal with Yan Chao, but I believe that after you saw Yan Jiu's performance at the wedding, you will understand that in such a world, ordinary people like them, who seem to have a very high status, can't even live according to their own will."
It was also at this moment that Bai Wu decided to ask the captain to help do one thing, which was to tell Yan Jiu the news of his death.
This was cruel, and he also knew what the girl felt for him, but he also wanted Yan Zizai to know that the essence of this tower world... was not something that humans had lived for seven hundred years and had summed up a stable civilization structure.
The so-called world of the tower is actually a playground for the rulers of the fifth floor. Everything that exists on the lower four floors is a chess piece used for their gambling and entertainment.
Although Yan Zizai thought Bai Wu was crazy, he owed Bai Wu a life, and he especially didn't want Xiao Jiu to marry someone she didn't love, so he nodded without hesitation and joined the bride-stealing plan.
But robbing the bride is not Bai Wu's ultimate goal. Pulling that scumbag off the throne is what Bai Wu really wants to do.
And if Wujiu cannot participate directly, Bai Wu really won’t be able to find anyone who can deal with Yan Chao.
He had already started thinking about these things when he escaped from prison for the first time and returned to the tower.
There is a time interval between returning from outside the tower and leaving the tower again. Bai Wu was unwilling to waste this time, so he arranged for Wujiu to go to Baichuan campus for help.
The request for help was to allow Lin Rui to rush to Shudu Prison. With such a master around, jailbreaking would be more certain.
But in order to make things go smoothly after the prison break, Bai Wu began to set up a plan.
The man who had deceived him and the captain and caused Captain Liu to become evil finally fell into Bai Wu's trap.
…
…
On the second floor of the tower, at the Survey Corps branch, the captain's office of the seventh squad.
Jiang Xuan, who has had no missions these days, is almost exhausted.
Of course, he hoped to persuade Bai Wu and Wu Jiu to leave the tower again, find an opportunity to seize each other's bodies, and create a high-quality alternative container for himself.
The best lies are always the most patient ones, so Cain was always very patient.
And this time... he finally got to know some secrets.
Naturally, Bai Wu intended to let Cain see these secrets, but everything was urgent, and although Cain had doubts, he did not think too deeply about it.
Because the essence of this scam lies in Baichuan Middle School.
"Baichuan is in danger. Captain, if you go there... you must be careful! This plan is of great importance. If it is not too important, I don't want to trouble you to go to that dangerous school again."
Bai Wu said to the other end of the phone with a slightly worried look on his face. Cain caught this scene and heard these words.
He seemed to sense a plan from the Survey Corps.
What are the two containers plotting? Baichuan City, a dangerous school? Cain is naturally familiar with this place.
He was too curious about what Bai Wu and Wu Jiu were plotting. And the person who could go to that place... just happened to be him.
So not long after that, Cain also went to Baichuan campus via the traction wheel.
Bai Wu was very sure that Cain would take the bait. In fact, when the call was made, Wujiu had already been to Baichuan Middle School for a while. When Cain went there again, he would be in a trap.
Bai Wu has always believed that the shelter is indeed a cradle that can carry the future of mankind, but he is not the only one who knows about this place.
Cain arrived at this area earlier than himself, and almost was left in the classroom area permanently because he failed the exam.
The principal and others were all Cain's disciples.
He still had a score to settle with Cain, but before that... he was going to work with Nie Chongshan to set a trap for Cain.
This can also be regarded as a "reward" for Cain's series of "contributions" in the early stage.
In the contest between the cheater and the fraudster, although it seems that the cheater always wins, every time a riddle is asked, it is the fraudster who asks it.
If I cannot change from a problem solver to a problem setter, then I will never be able to defeat Cain.
This time, Bai Wu is the one who sets the question.
After Wujiu found Lin Rui, he went to find Nie Chongshan. His purpose was not just to ask Nie Chongshan to rush to Shudu Prison and rescue those prisoners.
The real purpose is that Cain's information is incomplete and he believes that Nie Chongshan is the Traveler and the enemy of the Survey Corps.
The power behind the previous generation of travelers came from the guardian of the well.
This is what Cain is most interested in. If some words are spoken by Nie Chongshan, they will be very credible.
…
…
The fifth floor of the tower.
The masked demon's body was pierced by a powerful air blade!
The temperature in the air had already reached fifty-five degrees. The confrontation between the two devil-like beings had left the entire Yan family manor in ruins.
There were shocking claw marks everywhere, and even the wreckage of huge buildings that had been cut by sharp blades.
Yan Chao panted and said:
"Now... let me see your true face!"
Sequence 149, Refining Qi into Blades.
Yan Chao finally defeated the invader by relying on powerful attack methods and many sequence effects.
"I...actually...will lose!"
The masked monster looked at Yan Chao in disbelief as he let the powerful air blade pierce through his body bit by bit!
Life began to fade rapidly, and the breath of death gradually enveloped the masked monster.
Finally the mask fell off, Yan Chao frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar face, he drew out his air blade and watched the invader, who was already a corpse, fall down.
"You are so arrogant, but it's a pity for my house."
The Yan family's manor was badly damaged, and Yan Chao had to admit that this masked man had some strength.
But it's just some strength.
There were problems at the wedding on the third floor, and the Yan family was attacked. These were not trivial matters, and he had a lot of things to deal with. He did not care about the mess on the battlefield and prepared to leave.
But as soon as Yan Chao took a step forward, he heard that crazy laughter again.
"Oh, round one is over. The first round was won by Yan's Old Dog. Now, the second round begins. We will send out the real masked evil ghost. Please ask Yan's Old Dog to send out the next contestant."
"Oh, this is such a pity. It seems that the Yan family only has an old dog fighting. Where is their guardian? Although we are very sorry, the rules of the game cannot be broken. Are you ready for Round Two?"
Although the crazy tone remained the same, the voice had obviously become much older, and Yan Chao didn't know why, but he felt that the voice was very familiar!
Although he felt familiar with the last battle, it was too vague and he could never catch it. But this time... Yan Chao recalled it!
"It's you!"
"Oh, I'm not recognized until now."
In the gray-filtered environment, a man walked out, hunched over and looking very weak.
He was no longer dressed as a masked weirdo, but more like a guest at a dinner party, although he was wearing a mask, and his hands were slowly taking off the mask.
Because there is no need.
The eight rulers had all seen the madman who had climbed to the sixth floor of the tower. That man had a silver-white beard.
But don't think that is a symbol of aging. Although his voice sounds a little old, and although he always looks hunched over and quite tired, all this is just his disguise.
The masked monster was finally unveiled.
At this moment, Yan Chao seemed to remember something. He remembered that he had seen many faces with similar features before, and that the world seemed to be far more vast than he knew.
But it all feels like a sense of déjà vu, like a memory, but also like just an illusion.
"I have spent a lot of money to deal with you and gain the trust of the travelers.
I admit that I'm probably recognizable, after all, there are no more people like me, but I guess you still can't remember me. After all - this is the rule. The rule makes you forget many people who look like me. "
Absolute darkness enveloped the place once again, and the crazy laughter sounded once again, but unlike the last time, the crazier sound made Yan Chao feel a little bit of fear.
