Cain did not use his real body, but Jiang Xuan's body, in order to retrieve what he had lost here.
"I trust you unconditionally. Of course, I will do whatever you say."
Cain looked sincere, Bai Wu shook his head and said:
"Okay, there's no one else here, are you performing for the ghosts on the sixth floor?"
Bai Wu walked in front. Jiang Xuan followed behind him, silently calculating some random things. Soon he found helplessly that Bai Wu seemed to have surpassed him in every sense.
Trying to seize the white mist as a container here is a very unrealistic and even stupid thing to do.
The huge stone forest looked very much like the things in his previous life that were often hyped as ancient relics, but Bai Wu knew very well that this thing was definitely not an ancient relic.
The white boulders, like the square pyramid black tower on the fourth floor, were arranged in a slightly chaotic and seemingly irregular manner.
As soon as Bai Wu walked in, he instinctively felt a "malice" because of the guardian spirit in his body and the abilities of the apostle himself.
In the ghost story apartment building, a guardian spirit can make it easier for Bai Wu to gain the trust of people who have bad intentions towards him.
Apostles can sense and temporarily capture some of the abilities of those who have malicious intentions towards them.
Both of them have malicious perception, so after Cain entered the stone forest, he did not notice anything wrong, but Bai Wu always felt it.
There was a pair... or even many pairs of eyes, staring at him greedily from every angle.
"You seem confused by this shape of stone?"
"If you know some clues, you can tell me now."
Bai Wu knew that Cain was referring to why the huge rocks in the stone forest were in the shape of square cones.
It's exactly the same as the fourth and fifth floors of the black tower.
Cain said:
"It's not really a clue, just some guesses. You've been to the lower levels, but I can tell you why these stones, including the buildings underneath, are all in this shape."
"Then don't keep me in suspense, just say it directly."
"It's the key. You are so impatient."
"key?"
"When I came to the sixth floor, I saw countless keyholes... huge grooves. I suspect that these stone tablets and buildings are some kind of keys that fill the grooves."
Bai Wu felt very strange. Should I say that Cain is very imaginative? Or is he using his traditional skills to deceive me
Suddenly... Bai Wu remembered something.
When he first met Jing Liu, he fell from a great height and eventually reached the bottom of the tower, where he met Jing Liu.
But during the falling process, I seemed to see a ceiling with countless holes.
He had always felt that the Black Tower was very familiar, and now that he thought about it... the Black Tower did look a lot like Kong's filling.
Cain did not lie, or rather, Cain's speculation made some sense.
There are many strange symbols carved on the huge stones and stone towers in the stone forest.
Bai Wu has seen these symbols before.
So much so that the moment he saw these symbols, the white mist instantly locked onto Cain:
"Don't think I've forgotten these things. Cain, if you don't speak clearly, I will kill you right now, and you know very well that I can do it easily."
"We have just begun to explore the sixth floor, and we are already facing a crisis of trust?"
Cain showed a somewhat helpless expression.
The next second, Bai Wu's hand pressed directly on Cain's neck, nailing Cain to the stone tower.
Cain found that he could not see the speed of the white fog at all.
His neck was pinched by Bai Wu's hand, so he had difficulty breathing and started coughing.
“Ahem… Relax, relax. You have a good memory and you still remember these symbols. Hahahaha… This is actually a sequence language, a thing used for communication… If you kill me, ahem… I won’t die, and you’ve wasted your time, right?”
Cain's expression appeared calm.
Bai Wu's eyes were sharp. He had seen these symbols carved on the stone tower in the Ninth Mental Hospital, in the gastric juice jungle of Dandeler, and in Violet's manor.
This kind of symbol can be seen wherever Cain laid out his plan. Bai Wu didn't understand what these strange patterns meant at first.
But he forced himself to remember these things.
According to Bai Wu's speculation, Cain could communicate with people across distance through these symbols.
"I have been trapped here for a long time. I have seen the monster. Although I can't see its appearance clearly, it does not affect my communication with it... During my days of captivity, I have been observing it, and gradually, I have mastered this language."
"Sequential language?"
"Yes"
"Can you translate the contents of these stone towers?"
“You can say that. But if you kill me, I won’t be able to do it… cough cough cough… cough cough…”
Bai Wu did not let go. Although it was of little significance, this method of controlling the opponent could make him appear more dominant.
“What are the characteristics of a sequential language?”
"You can think of it as an information transmission array. For example, I left some sequence language in the hospital where Elijah is. After I construct the corresponding sequence language in another place in the tower, I can communicate with the hospital outside the tower at a specific place within a certain period of time."
Bai Wu understood.
In a sense, this is not some great magical power, but a communication technology suitable for the era of high towers after technological isolation.
It is equivalent to sending one signal and receiving one signal.
"This should be a power outside of the sequence, but I still call it a sequence language. I have some talent in languages, so if you keep pinching me, cough cough cough... I might forget how to parse it."
"Analysis? Isn't this a communication structure?" Bai Wu was like a curious baby.
Cain was very proud. After all, there was something like you, Bai Wu, that even he didn't know about.
Of course Bai Wu knew it.
The moment these things appeared, he knew their meaning.
Although I couldn’t recognize it the first time you went to that poor little hospital... Bah, I pretended that I couldn’t recognize it, but now that I have advanced, I know that my strength does not allow me to keep a low profile.
This is a serial symbol that can transmit information, but the arrangement of the symbols itself can also express some meaning.
For example, this stone tower you see now has a sentence written on it: The tower cannot be destroyed from the inside.
Bai Wu remembered that when he first went to the Ninth Mental Hospital, these symbols and the description given by his eyes were:
What are you looking at? Am I a psychopath? Are you a psychopath? Since neither you nor I are, why do you think I can analyze what this ghostly drawing is
It seems that after evolution, the coverage is becoming more and more extensive.
Of course, he still looked very confused:
"Then congratulations, you have found your exploitable value, but you'd better not lie to me."
Cain realized that Bai Wu needed him, and because this guy didn't understand the language, this provided him with a wide range of "space for fraud."
In this world, whenever someone says to you, "Don't lie to me," in the eyes of the liar, it seems to be saying, "I'm easy to lie to, come and lie to me."
This gave Cain a little hope.
"Of course, we are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope. How could I lie to you?"
Bai Wu’s acting is superb, and he has the kind of “if you dare to lie to me, I will kill you” attitude that is very strong.
But Cain was very confident that Bai Wu could not master the language in such a short time.
So, the two began to decipher the first scene of the sixth floor - the stone forest.
They passed the first stone tower.
Bai Wu signaled with his eyes, and Cain began to interpret it - "The symbol on this stone tower means that the tower cannot be destroyed from the inside."
The lies of an honest person and the truth of a liar both have a price.
Cain did not lie, but the Eye of Preyer kindly reminded Bai Wu that the most clever lie is to tell nine truths and one lie.
But this time, Cain couldn't wait that long. After seeing that Bai Wu really believed what he said, he began to use his traditional skills.
They passed a second stone tower.
Cain said:
"What this sentence means is that under that big tree, I buried a secret."
Oh! You impatient liar! The implication of this statement is that the hardest things can become extremely soft. But it doesn't matter.
Bai Wu was not surprised, and even felt like laughing. He asked naturally:
"What big tree?"
Cain shrugged and spoke naturally:
"Who knows? Maybe we have to keep exploring. The clues in this stone tower are probably just bits and pieces, and not very valuable."
It seems to be a scene related to a tree. Cain is obsessed with the tree. Could it be that the tree is related to his true self
Is it possible to intercept
Bai Wu was silently calculating in his heart, and Cain showed a sincere smile on his face. Bai Wu continued to maintain the look of "Don't lie to me, but I'm easy to fool. I don't understand what these are at all."
"Some important clues are hidden in the trivialities. The sixth floor is a mysterious space. What we are studying may be the ultimate mystery about the origin of the doomsday. I don't want to miss any information." Bai Wu said seriously.
Cain became more sincere:
"As you wish."
The two came to the third stone tower, and Cain translated it on his own:
"I cannot create a stele."
I created a teleportation tablet... but it only served to further imprison me!
Cain was cutting corners, and he cut so much that it seemed like a lie to Bai Wu.
The fourth stone tower.
“Plant trees, plant trees, plant trees, plant trees… That tree is my key!”
Get out, get out, get out! Get out... I'm getting out!
The fifth stone tower.
"I can't leave here, I can't do anything."
I can't leave here, but I will definitely find another way to leave.
Bai Wu had to admit that Cain was a very good liar. So far, there was no flaw in his expression.
Bai Wu also agreed casually, and even occasionally asked about the topic of "trees".
Cain was overjoyed, and after a little guidance, Bai Wu really took the bait. The apostle can't deal with you, but I can!
The information gap is the difference between you and me. A qualified liar must implement a dimensionality reduction attack on the high dimension of information!
I will slowly lead you to that tree! Take back everything that is mine and take everything that is yours!
Suppressing his inner restlessness, Cain continued to patiently interpret the "ancient language" on the stone tower with Bai Wu.
Bai Wu guessed that this should be the unique language of the monster on the sixth floor. It was hard to imagine that Cain could actually decipher it.
Bai Wu calculated that even if it was himself, it would take him ten days or half a month to find the answer, and he would need some reference objects for comparison.
It seems that Cain... must have communicated with the monsters on the sixth floor.
Perhaps it was an invasion of consciousness, or perhaps it was due to other factors, or perhaps he just had a bigger imagination, and half of Cain's soul was here, causing Cain to slowly learn these "ancient languages" over the past seven hundred years.
Next stone tower.
Cain continued patiently translating:
"I will expand upwards and find a higher level."
But I can't go to the lower levels. Damn the sealer! I can only go up! You and I are from the same origin! You and I are from the same origin!
Bai Wu pretended to analyze the situation for a while, and asked Cain a few questions in a pretentious manner, such as whether expanding upwards and illuminating higher levels meant that the tower would have higher levels in the future.
Cain became more and more convinced that the white mist had been led away by him.
Bai Wu was thinking, you and I are of the same origin, does this sentence reveal the relationship between the tower and the well
The tower holds a monster that the Jing family wants to release, an origin.
But do the tower and the well have the same origin
The monster can't go to the lower levels? Does this mean... if it goes to the seventh level, it won't appear on the sixth level again
Next stone tower.
"Seventy-two people, reduced to eight... Too boring, I want to lure them up."
Seventy-two people became eight... It's too boring. I want to lure them up. Although I can't go down, those who come up can take my things and leave!
The meaning of the words on many stone towers in the stone forest are Cain's mumblings, which are about a prisoner who has been imprisoned for too long and cannot get out,
But there are also some stone towers that provide some information for inference.
Bai Wu thought that among the 72 candidates for rulers, Cain and Lilith were among them. These two were more active, but could there be others
Cain was the only one who came here in the past seven hundred years, but is it possible that someone, during the seven hundred years, reached the fifth floor and then went to the sixth floor without anyone noticing
Bai Wu and Cain continued to interpret the stone tower.
Soon, Bai Wu found a key piece of information. Cain said:
"The Soul Tree is my masterpiece. I will definitely figure out your logic for sealing me."
The Soul Tree is my masterpiece. I will definitely figure out your logic for sealing me. My six children will find me! One day, I will return to this world and dominate it!
Six children... It was hard for Bai Wu not to think of six tic-tac-toe levels.
He slowly wrote down the contents of the stone tower.
Now Bai Wu is certain that someone has indeed come to the sixth floor, and his ending is different from Cain's, as he got the props from the monster on the sixth floor.
This prop, according to the description on the fifteenth stone tower - distortion can be measured, I will give you the most accurate help to help me get rid of the tower. Look, Bai Wu is sure that this monster on the sixth floor has made some kind of instrument.
This instrument, perhaps, can test the concentration of distortion
Considering what Bai Yuan said, that the tower would only appear under a certain concentration, Bai Wu guessed that this was a monster on the sixth floor. He hoped that the distortion concentration could be restored to a certain value as soon as possible.
And through the instruments, they were able to know at the first moment that the tower had reappeared.
The last stone tower points out another message, which is the next stop for Bai Wu and Cain.
"The existence of the Soul Tree makes me believe that the tower's control over me is not absolute. I still have certain authority. By pouring blood on the Soul Tree, I can gain the power of the Soul Tree."
The biggest scam is here - the existence of the Soul Tree makes me believe that the tower's control over me is not absolute, and I still have certain authority. If I pour the blood of my prey on the Soul Tree, I can obtain his soul!
Behind dozens of stone towers in the stone forest, there is a red path.
The white stone forest in front suddenly turned into a terrifying blood red after walking out.
Cain said:
"Sure enough, there is a treasure. It seems that tree... is a gift to us."
"Perhaps."
At the end of the red trail, the plant that looked like a world tree and was larger than the square black tower building had appeared in the sight of Cain and Bai Wu.
Bai Wu guessed that the winner between him and Cain would soon be decided.
(After thinking about the sixth level information, I decided to keep it a little more obscure. It’s not the time to reveal it completely yet. It’s mainly a transitional plot, allowing the white fog to focus back to the outside of the tower and the fog. There will still be only one update today, and tomorrow will be the same if nothing goes wrong, and the day after tomorrow… I’ll try to update twice the day after tomorrow.)
