Bai Wu's every word was gentle but revealed a strong determination.
Although Wujiu didn't say anything, his eyes were determined and his desire to save these people was no less than Baiwu's.
Only now did they officially understand how tragic the situation was for those scientists who held on to the end in Denglin City.
After hearing Bai Wu's words again and again, the female scientist finally came to her senses from her despair and tried to accept this reality.
"Someone really came to save us? But how are you going to save us? The monsters outside are too strong... It's too late, they are so strong that they have no weaknesses..."
"We've died too many times, too late! We've made them too powerful!"
The woman hugged Bai Wu and cried. Bai Wu gently patted the female scientist on the back:
"Leave it to us. No matter how strong they are, my friends and I will definitely drive them out."
Bai Wu, who was carrying a big sword on his back, and Wu Jiu, who was holding a sword at his waist, exuded an aura that made the woman feel that these two men were extraordinary.
"You'll see, we'll get you out of here eventually, but right now, I need you to tell us what's going on. Where are the other scientists?"
Bai Wu looked at the female scientist.
The female scientist perked up a bit, and finally put on some makeup:
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. My name is Bi Yunxia, and I'm a scientist in charge of pharmaceuticals."
"My name is Bai Wu, I'm from the Survey Corps outside the tower, and this is my boss."
"Hello, my name is Gu Qingyu, and I'm from the Outer Tower Survey Corps."
Bai Wu and Wu Jiu were also introduced.
Bi Yunxia was surprised and said:
"You are from the Tower? I thought... the Tower was our enemy..."
Wujiu was puzzled, but Baiwu could probably understand:
"Those who stay here are heroes, but those who go to the tower are not necessarily all traitors."
Bai Wu decided to say Xie Yingjie's name, but Bi Yunxia seemed to have noticed it, shook her head and said:
"I'll take you to meet the others... They are all in the office on the 20th floor. Xing Tao and I couldn't bear the torture of the negative attributes, so we came down first. Did you see Xing Tao?"
Bai Wu guessed that the Xing Tao mentioned by Bi Yunxia should be the person who suddenly exploded.
Bai Wu said:
"We saw it, but we were not able to save him in time."
Bi Yunxia didn't care:
"If you can't relieve my pain, I don't want to live... Let's go upstairs and tell everyone. Everyone should know you're here, but their attitude may not be the same as mine."
With doubts in mind, Bai Wu and the other two began to move towards the 20th floor.
Although there are still some documents to collect, Bai Wu is not in a hurry.
There was one thing that Bai Wu was very concerned about. Since the captain had already arrived, and Bi Yunxia and Xing Tao were both tortured to death by negative attributes, why didn't the captain have this feeling
Is it because the negative attributes are not strong enough
Or has the captain become so powerful that he has surpassed human limits
Bai Wu didn't ask, because after taking the elevator, they arrived at the 20th floor very quickly.
There is a relatively bright lounge on the 20th floor. In the corner of the lounge, a group of lifeless scientists are lying in a mess.
They have not been infected with negative attributes, or in other words, it has been less than four hours since their last death.
There was despair on everyone's face.
Seeing Bi Yunxia bringing up two men whose appearances were out of place here, someone opened his eyes and showed a thoughtful look.
Some people didn't care at all, thinking that no matter who came, they couldn't change the status quo. So they just trembled with fear and worry, waiting for the doom to come four hours after their resurrection.
Professor Tao is not among this group of people.
Bi Yunxia quickly began to introduce these scientists, and also told the origins of Bai Wu and Wu Jiu, after hearing that the two came from the high tower.
Everyone reacted, and most people still believed that these two people could not change the status quo, while some asked if they could enter the tower.
A physicist named Hou Haiyan wanted to enter the tower with a fawning expression, as if he was hugging someone's thigh.
Most others are just waiting and watching.
"Please! I heard that any twisted rules cannot take effect in the tower! Since you are from the tower, there must be a way to bring me into the tower, right? There must be a way, right!"
Wujiu took out the return roulette:
"You can enter the tower through this thing, but I tried it not long ago and it couldn't be activated. Indeed, entering the tower can isolate all distortions, but some places can isolate the working mechanism of the roulette."
This kind of thing happened on the death flight, and Bai Wu didn't care about it, but the expressions of others were quite disappointed.
Bai Wu and Wu Jiu also began to explain their purpose. They talked about some things about the tower and the outside world. Bai Wu also mentioned everything he saw in Xuanhui City, which is the scene of Jing Si's heart.
Jing Si, Xuan Hui, Xie Yingjie, these words seem very far away from these scientists, yet very close.
"Perhaps you think that the people in the tower are cowards. Perhaps you even hate those who left you behind and entered the tower. But this is not the case..."
"Xie Yingjie has never..."
“Get out!”
Bai Wu's words were interrupted by a scientist named Fu Lei.
He looked to be about 40 years old, with a square face and a beard, and looked a bit tough and hard-line.
Bai Wu noticed Fu Lei, who looked the most normal and the most abnormal among the group of people.
Normally, he didn't seem neurotic, just extremely tired.
The weird thing is that Fu Lei's reaction is completely different from that of the others. After Bai Wu and Wu Jiu arrive, the others have more or less some reaction, ranging from disappointment, surprise, to cautious and trembling hope.
Only Fu Lei had no change in expression from beginning to end. His heart and face were as pale as death.
But when Bai Wu was about to mention Xie Yingjie, Fu Lei suddenly shouted:
"Get out of here. If you want to show off, go somewhere else. Get out! This place does not belong to you."
After Bai Wu's introduction, many scientists, like Bi Yunxia, felt the extraordinaryness of Bai Wu and Wujiu, and felt more or less hopeful.
Especially Bi Yunxia, who should have been tortured to death by the negative attributes, was able to endure the pain because of the white mist, or it could be said that the pain was relieved by the magical power of the white mist.
Bi Yunxia said:
"Old Master...how about we..."
"Bi Yunxia, have you gone crazy from the injection? Do you want me to blow your head off with a hammer to wake you up? Do you know what futile hope means?"
"Do you know who caused our current situation? It was his surname Tao! It was also his surname Xie!"
"If it wasn't for the surname Xie, would Tao Xingzhi have such a strong grudge against the defectors? Would he have locked us up here for the rest of our lives?"
Fu Lei seemed to be the leader of this group of scientists. Bai Wu discovered that this person actually had a companion power and had four negative attributes.
In other words, although Fu Lei looks desperate, he is the most persistent among the group.
Only Fu Lei didn't look dishevelled and defeated by reality. But at the same time, it was also Fu Lei who was most resistant to the arrival of Bai Wu and others at this time.
"Bai Wu, right? I don't care who you are, don't mention Xie Yingjie in front of us. Has he ever sent anyone here in the past seven hundred years? You don't think you have a conscience just because you care about him a little bit, do you?"
Bai Wu was really moved by these words.
Yes, many people are evil at heart but have not committed any crime. You cannot say that such people are good people, but they are definitely not bad people.
Many people do bad things while struggling and repenting in their hearts. They think they have no choice and just want to be a good person, but in essence, they are a bad person.
No matter how much Xie Yingjie showed in front of him that he missed Professor Tao, it would be meaningless as long as Xie Yingjie did not take action.
Perhaps Xie Yingjie wants to develop weapons that can be used for combat outside the tower, which shows that his original intention has not changed.
But it is too cruel to say how great Xie Yingjie is in front of scientists like Bi Yunxia, Hou Haiyan and Fu Lei.
Bai Wu nodded:
"He is a deserter, there is nothing wrong with that, I will not speak for him anymore, but we did not give you any unnecessary hope."
Fu Lei ignored the white fog. Since the white fog had entered the building, the return wheel could not be activated and he could not return to the tower. He was sure...
Sooner or later these two people will regret and despair, and like everyone else here, they will curse Xie Yingjie and Tao Xingzhi.
Fu Lei lay down on the ground, picked up a lab report and began to read silently.
The others, including Hou Haiyan, had also gotten over the novelty, and when they heard that Bai Wuwujiu could not go back, they stopped paying any attention to him.
Everyone was lying down waiting to die, no one believed the two of them, they thought what Fu Lei said was right.
Unfounded hope is the most harmful.
Only Bi Yunxia, feeling the gentle power from Bai Wu's hands that was enough to soothe her heart-wrenching pain, believed that what Bai Wu said was true.
"Everyone...everyone has been through so much pain, I hope you don't mind."
Bai Wu doesn't want to waste time. He will prove to Wujiu that the evil outside is not invincible.
Now he and Wujiu also have this ability.
But right now, he needed to know what was going on here.
Everyone sat there with no interest in life. Bai Wu didn't expect them to answer questions, so he asked Bi Yunxia:
"I need to know what happened after Xie Yingjie left, in 2128, when the tower disappeared, what did Jing Si do, and what happened to Professor Tao?"
Bi Yunxia nodded and began to narrate slowly—
"Although it has been a long time, we will never forget what happened that year."
"After Xie Yingjie left, everyone was deeply shocked. Although we studied ways to deal with evil in many fields, only the fields that Xie Yingjie and Tao Xingzhi focused on achieved results."
"Jing Si's madness became more and more frequent. He could no longer suppress his distortion, and many scientists in the building became evil. He created a field to isolate himself."
"But this is meaningless. We need to study Jing Si, the strongest evil in history. If we can create something to defeat Jing Si, we can naturally defeat other evils..."
“It was hopeful, but now it’s not.”
"The negative emotions further stimulated Jing Si, who went crazy and wiped out Jing Liu... "
Bai Wu was shocked. He didn't expect that Jing Si, when he was crazy, would actually kill Jing Liu.
Jing Liu was resurrected somewhere else. Is this also the reason why the brother and sister were separated later
"Jing Si also knows that he will hurt others when he is in a crazy state, so he has been eager for Tao Xingzhi's project to bear fruit, but how can it bear fruit?"
"Xie Yingjie is gone! Gone!"
Bi Yunxia was still a little excited, and Bai Wu noticed that everyone's expressions had changed as well.
They hated Xie Yingjie to the core.
"Jing Si eventually discovered this. There is no savior in this world. This became Jing Si's inner demon. The inner demon was divided into two parts... one is good thoughts and the other is evil thoughts."
"We don't know where the good thoughts went, but the evil thoughts stayed in Denglin City."
Bai Wu suddenly realized that Shannian should have gone to Xuanhui City.
So Jing Si's heart... isn't actually a real heart, Jing's own monsters are already immortal.
They have no such thing as organs.
The so-called heart is just the product of Jing Si's huge obsession.
One stayed in the Lantern Forest and distorted the rules, and the other went to Xuanhui City and was met by Bai Wu and Wu Jiu.
That was a good thought...
Bai Wu then realized why he had shouted at that time that there was a savior, which could make Jing Si completely relieved.
Because that is what Jing Si expects.
This is what good thoughts are like, but what about bad thoughts
"The evil thoughts were embedded in Tao Xingzhi. Jing Si was almost crazy at the time and said to Tao Xingzhi: You have to pay the price for your incompetence and lies."
"Thus, a huge twisted obsession was infused into Tao Xingzhi's body by Jing Si."
"When we met Tao Xingzhi again, he said goodbye to us with a calm face."
Thinking of the farewell scene, Bi Yunxia was actually a little touched, but everyone hated Tao Xingzhi because of their current fate, so no one dared to show it.
They used to admire that person, but now... everything has changed.
"He told us—
'Humanity will not fail. I have become a cursed being. I am about to become a monster, but do not be afraid... From now on, Jing Si's obsession is my obsession.
You will never become evil like me, you will always live as human beings.
You will not be killed by evil, and this last safe haven will not be destroyed!
Try your best to survive, we are the last hope of mankind... The tower will collapse one day, but when that time comes, we will definitely find a way to solve the evil... We will definitely be able to do it!
I'm really sorry, I should have stayed with you, but I don't have much time.'
We were deeply moved by these words... We vowed to study hard.
But I overlooked that sentence - Jing Si's obsession, which means that we should have escaped at that time."
Bai Wu asked:
"What is Jing Si's obsession? What is Professor Tao's obsession?"
Bi Yunxia said in a heavy tone:
"The person who found it most difficult to let go of Xie Yingjie's death was Tao Xingzhi. After leaving his last words, Tao Xingzhi's will was completely devoured by the twisted heart of Jing Si."
"When he gained the enormous power of distortion, this city and this building were shrouded in new rules."
"His hatred for Xie Yingjie has also been twisted into a hatred so huge that it is enough to change the rules of the world!"
"We cannot become evil, we cannot truly die, death is just the beginning, we have no way out..."
"We must continue to think of ways to research and find a way to kill the evil. Only by killing the strongest evil in this city with our research can we be freed."
"At first we thought we could do it, but we didn't expect that Jing Si would impose a curse on us!"
"Our death will actually make the monsters more powerful! The speed of our research is far behind the speed of the monsters' evolution."
"Even if you die from the negative attributes that occur once every four hours, the monsters outside will become stronger."
"We have developed a lot of things that may have been useful at first... but they are meaningless."
"Their resistance is getting higher and higher. As we keep dying and resurrecting, the weaknesses that we implanted in the Evil Fallen with great difficulty are overcome by them through various mutations and evolutions."
"In the first few months, we were very motivated, but a year later, we realized how terrible it all was."
"Two years later, we are more and more broken, but we don't even have the power to really break down. We can only wake up in pain, and because we are awake, we are more painful."
"One year, two years, three years, five years, ten years, twenty years, fifty years... Bai Wu... We can't hold on any longer! We really... tried very hard."
"But there is no way... There is really no way. No matter how hard we try, no matter what we do... we cannot shorten the gap between humans and evil!"
Bi Yunxia suddenly knelt down when she said this. A proud scientist, a person who had the courage to stay in Denglin City, now knelt in front of Bai Wu:
"We lost, we gave up... I don't want to stay here, I want to die for real, I don't want to be a human anymore!"
In the entire lounge, the emotions of all the scientists burst out in Bi Yunxia's crying.
Many scientists, like Hou Haiyan, held their heads and cried. They did not look like scientists but more like beggars with broken spines.
Fu Lei covered his face with the file and lay on his back. No one knew Fu Lei's expression, but they could see his fists, clenched tightly.
Bai Wu gently helped Bi Yunxia up and said:
"So the evil Jing Si's heart grew on Professor Tao, and Professor Tao turned into a monster... The task he left for you is to use your research to kill the strongest monster."
Bi Yunxia nodded.
Wujiu thought of something and looked at Bai Wu. Bai Wu shook his head with a complicated expression:
"That monster... is Professor Tao himself? He absorbed some of Jing Si's power and became the most powerful evil in this city."
Bi Yunxia cried and said:
"We don't know either... After so many mutations and not leaving this building for so long, we don't know what he looks like anymore."
Bai Wu basically confirmed this:
"So the Tao Sect also meets this characteristic? Your death will also make Professor Tao more powerful?"
"Yes."
It's too heavy.
Bai Wu could imagine that the scientists were extremely desperate, but Professor Tao was probably also extremely desperate.
As he watched himself grow stronger, his fear was probably deeper than that of these scientists.
Bai Wu always believed that the person who could face the temptation of the fifth floor of the tower and say "I don't want to leave"; the person who could make Jing Si always feel guilty -
Although he cursed these scientists, it was definitely not his original intention, but he was completely distorted.
Deep down in his heart, he must not want to become stronger at all, and must be hoping that these scientists can kill him, right
Jing Si... has completely ruined Professor Tao.
This is more painful than letting Professor Tao die.
He could only watch as his former colleagues fell into despair, and experience firsthand the powerlessness that was distorted far beyond human effort.
But regardless of Professor Tao or the scientists, what did they do wrong
Feeling the despair of these scientists, Bi Yunxia's crying, Hou Haiyan's pleading, and Fu Lei's anger...
Bai Wu stood in the center:
"I know that no matter what I say, it won't restore your hope, so I won't say anything more. Next, I will clean up the evil in this city with my companions."
"Your seven hundred years of hard work have not been in vain. At least this spirit has been passed on to me."
Bai Wu turned and left, and Wu Jiu also turned and left.
The others didn't understand what these two were going to do, but they soon understood.
Everyone leaned on the edge of the lounge, looking out the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, at the scene twenty floors below.
The scene below was the same as always, filled with evil.
Some of these evil creatures have not undergone a high mutation level, but due to multiple evolutions, many terrifying terms have appeared.
Any single evil creature can easily kill scientists countless times, and countless evil creatures are gathering outside the Denglin City Science and Technology Building like a tide. What can the two humans do
After coming out of the Denglin City Science and Technology Building and seeing those evil people again, Bai Wu said:
"Captain, we are now much stronger than when we first explored Xuanhui City.
But the evil mind of Jing Si has been strengthened countless times in the past seven hundred years. I don’t know what level it can reach. We may experience a life-and-death battle. "
"I will protect you." Wujiu said.
"I will also protect the captain," Bai Wu recalled the scene when Wujiu succeeded as deputy captain.
He also said this.
The brothers both sensed that a powerful enemy was hiding in the city, but neither of them retreated.
"I once told Jing Si's kind heart that the savior of this world does exist."
"But at that time, the captain should still remember what I said later, right?"
The tide of evil continued to gather. Bai Wu and Wu Jiu stood in the shadow under the Denglin City building, with a momentum of "even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go forward".
Wujiu nodded:
"You said at the time that all this was fake and made up, that there had never been a savior for this world, and that humanity was still in the tower."
When in the tower, even though the people on the three lower floors were massacred, Bai Wu never thought of presenting himself as the savior.
It still is.
But after arriving in Denglin City and feeling the awareness and despair of Professor Tao and these scientists, he suddenly changed his mind.
The world was too big for him to save, but at least he wanted to save the scientists in this city.
The figure of Bai Wu gradually walked out of the shadows. The sunlight fell on him, casting a golden shadow on him. He drew out his great sword, and his fighting spirit suddenly burst out:
"If this city doesn't have a hero, then I will be the hero!"
