“Zero” is not the real Zero, and “Captain” is naturally not the real Captain either.
But when Bai Wu read out the word "captain", Spade Ten was obviously stunned.
Then the Ten of Spades said:
"This person is quite simple. He can be summed up in one sentence—someone you can absolutely trust. If he is as special as you, he may be able to achieve higher achievements than you."
From the perspective of the purest human being, Wujiu has only known Baiwu for less than two years. During this time, his experience is not as special as Baiwu's, but his growth is second only to Baiwu.
If Five-Nine also possessed the sequence of White Mist - Ten of Spades absolutely believed that Five-Nine would reach a higher position than White Mist and Old K.
After hearing the evaluation from Ten of Spades, Bai Wu had a rough idea in his mind.
The Ten of Spades also became confused.
"Zero asked you to assassinate Shorty? What kind of drama is this? Although the projection only represents that they have certain characteristics of Zero and Shorty... they actually have nothing to do with the real people in the real world."
The sound of the Ten of Spades can only be heard by Bai Wu.
Now, Spade Ten and Well Six are equivalent to Bai Wu's two personalities.
A fraudulent personality and a suspicious personality.
"You go down first." When the receptionist brought Bai Wu over, "Wujiu" said to the receptionist.
After "Liu Chengzi" left, Wujiu sat in his office and looked at Bai Wu. After a few seconds, Wujiu slowly spoke:
"You are eliminated. You do not meet the requirements of my company. Although you were sent by the higher-ups to replace my last assistant, I actually do not need an assistant."
Good man, a workaholic
Although Bai Wu has lost his memories, it feels like this character is particularly in line with the “captain” character.
But Bai Wu smiled and said:
"you need me."
Four simple words, full of confidence. Wujiu frowned and said with a hint of disgust:
"I told you, you're eliminated. If you don't leave, I'll call security."
"I am a shield. You have shown such a strong threat that a certain force of the seven major financial groups dare not touch you."
Wujiu raised his eyebrows.
Bai Wu continued:
"You must have experienced quite a few assassination attempts earlier. But you managed to resolve them all."
"I guess what you did was also beneficial to one of the seven financial groups, but harmful to the other."
"Some people want to protect you, and some people want to kill you. The people who want to kill you can't kill you, so they decide to settle for the next best thing and infiltrate your company to find out what you do."
While Bai Wu was speaking, he always looked directly into Wujiu's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.
For Bai Wu, this was a unique interview.
He needed to convince this cold interviewer with his words.
"So they started to target your assistant. If I'm not mistaken, the assistant was your confidant. But now he's dead, and you expect your next assistant might be a spy. Even if he's not, you don't want someone to take the knife for you."
"So you want to drive me away, but I can't leave because I am indeed a spy. It's just that my professional ethics are very low, and I quickly chose to betray the previous company."
Self-destruction at the beginning
A wolf who wants to be a sheep
Ten of Spades said:
"Isn't that a bit too reckless?"
Although he knew the importance of Wujiu to Baiwu, Ten of Spades was a little surprised when Wujiu showed his cards directly to him.
He prefers to lie to both sides and cheat on both sides rather than making a choice.
This time, Jing Liu thought that Bai Wu had done nothing wrong.
"He is a madman, and madmen often act on their instincts."
"But intuition often leads to mistakes." Spade Ten disagreed with Bai Wu's approach.
Jing Liu said:
“When a madman survives time and time again and always has the last laugh, you should understand that this madman’s intuition is as accurate as prophecy.”
Jing Liu believes that the most unpredictable part of Bai Wu is his grasp of human nature.
Sure enough, "Wujiu" looked at Bai Wu with a strange look in his eyes.
Bai Wu continued:
"I am an outsider, and I can see a certain projection in you. The projection on you makes me feel very... trustworthy."
"And because... for some reason, I killed two members of the Order Group, so I was threatened and had to get close to you and gain your trust."
Bai Wu shrugged, his movements and demeanor were very similar to Bai Yuan, he said helplessly but carefreely:
"They pretended to be the rebels and used them as an undercover agent to find a chance to assassinate you."
"But I don't like being threatened or controlled by others."
Bai Wu said:
"How about we two work together?"
As early as when someone informed him that there would be a new assistant, "Wujiu" was very unhappy.
What occasions had he not seen? It was nothing more than two major financial groups competing for their own interests.
But he had never seen an undercover agent who self-destructed like today.
When Wujiu heard the word "outsider", he became interested:
"How do I know if you're making this up?"
"If I'm making this up, it means I have a clear grasp of the situation, right? At least the story I made up makes our situation very reasonable."
"And if I'm not kidding, boss, then you have to understand that I'm at my wits' end."
"If you feel it's dangerous and my loyalty is questionable, you can deliberately let me pass on the wrong information. I believe that the butterfly effect will let you know that I am a very good troublemaker."
It looks like a self-destruction, but Bai Wu actually calculated the information very clearly.
Especially, I demonstrated my own value at the end.
Wujiu hesitated for a moment:
"follow me."
Bai Wu turned around and made a victory gesture to the Ten of Spades.
The Ten of Spades gently scratched his temple with his right index finger, as if smiling.
"It seems that the truth is sometimes more useful than lies."
…
…
Bai Wu followed "Wujiu" into the elevator, and "Wujiu" pressed the number for the top floor.
In the elevator, "Five Nine" said:
"We live under surveillance all the time. There are many owners of 'spy satellites' in this world. They are the top hunters of the seven major financial groups."
"Fortunately, sound cannot be monitored."
"If you are an outsider, your fate has already been decided when you enter this world."
“They’ll make a series of life plans for you.”
"The combat power of the seven major financial groups... is hard to imagine. The orderly world and friendly humans you see now are actually just superficial."
Bai Wu has already felt the weirdness of the well world.
The biggest distortion in this world is often hidden behind the seemingly normal surface.
"And above the seven major financial groups, there are even more terrifying existences."
"You told me this... because you trust me?" Bai Wu was a little surprised.
Wujiu said:
"I will quickly investigate the fact that you are an outsider. If you really are, then you are vital to this world."
"Although I don't think you can necessarily change anything, at least you won't become a scourge to the world you live in."
Jing Liu felt a pain in his heart.
Is this sentence directed at my brother Jing Si
"Bai Wu, can you do me a favor..."
The moment the elevator opened, Jing Liu, who was standing behind Bai Wu with Spade Ten, suddenly asked Bai Wu for help.
The Ten of Spades became interested instantly. This was truly a rare thing.
Bai Wu nodded imperceptibly, and then followed "Wujiu" and soon arrived at the rooftop of the building.
Jing Liu knew that "Wujiu" had probably chosen to believe Bai Wu. Although he would still investigate and collect evidence, he would most likely tell Bai Wu some information now.
This information has nothing to do with the seven major financial groups and the rebels. It should be to make Bai Wu clear about which side to stand on.
This person may have information that interests you.
Sure enough, "Five Nine" said:
"Although I haven't confirmed that you are an outsider, I have to tell you something before I investigate it thoroughly to prevent you from doing something you will regret."
"Wait a minute." Bai Wu interrupted "Wujiu".
Jing Liu said:
"Can I ask... what happened to the last person who entered the 'Well' world?"
Bai Wu relayed Jing Liu's words:
"I heard someone say before that the last outsider joined one of the seven major financial groups?"
"That person didn't lie to you, and I have had contact with him before."
Has the person in front of me ever had contact with Jing Si in the Well World
Jing Liu was a little excited, and Spade Ten was also very concerned.
Jing Liu continued to speak, and Bai Wu continued to relay:
"Can you tell me about him? Because this person and I have a deep connection in another world."
"He is one of the most powerful people in our world... but he always falls into madness."
Wujiu sighed:
"Because he has always been in the middle ground. As an outsider, he is kind-hearted. On the one hand, he wants to save the real world, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to destroy the world in the well. So he is in a state of uncertainty."
"This kind of indecision, in reality, would put him in a state where he could go crazy at any time."
Jing Liu couldn't imagine... the madness that made his brother imprison himself for seven hundred years had such a simple reason.
The Ten of Spades also said to the White Mist:
"Dear Xiaobai, can you help me ask a question too?"
If rolling eyes wasn't inappropriate right now, Bai Wu would definitely roll his eyes at Spade Ten.
The Ten of Spades narrowed his eyes:
"Please ask me, can killing the Alpha in the tower that you mentioned solve everything?"
Then Ten of Spades briefly added some information about the Lord of Distortion.
Bai Wu thought this question was very important, so he asked:
"I have another question."
The questions asked by Bai Wu made "Wujiu" more convinced that Bai Wu was an outsider.
He is a person who will have a significant impact on the real world, so he is willing to answer Bai Wu's questions.
"Go ahead."
"In my world, there is a huge tower, and inside the tower is a monster that is extremely powerful... I call it Alpha. I really want to know, if this Alpha dies... will everything be over?"
Wujiu didn't expect this to be the question. He was silent for a while, then shook his head and said:
“No one knows the answer to this question.”
Bai Wu didn't say anything.
Wujiu said slowly:
"Every existence in the Well World corresponds to various parameters in the world you live in."
"Here, a telemarketer could be affecting the real world's radio waves."
"A captain may affect the operation of the ocean in the real world..."
"A teacher may cause many people in the real world to have evil thoughts."
“A person who has quirks in life, every time his quirks flare up, perhaps there will be some weird things happening in the real world.”
“All living humans, in the real world, are parameters of the world.”
"But this is just the connection between the Well World and the real world..."
"And the Alpha you mentioned is the embodiment of distortion. He is the embodiment of the Well. In a sense, if you kill Alpha, your world will indeed become normal."
Obviously, there is some kind of twist in this sentence.
As expected, "Five Nine" said:
"But Alpha will not die. No matter how powerful the force is, it can only delay its arrival. Its body is immortal."
Hearing this, Spade Ten suddenly thought that Qian Yixin, who represented the will of the world... seemed unable to kill Alpha's physical body.
The shining bald old man clearly had the power to crush Alpha, but he could only hide Alpha's body farther away.
It cannot be destroyed.
Wujiu continued.
"We have also been searching for what Alpha's body is in the Well World."
"If we don't find the physical counterpart of Alpha in the real world in the Well World... there is no such thing as killing Alpha."
"He and the builder of the tower are both the strongest creatures of the previous civilization. This civilization... made use of wells beyond imagination."
Bai Wu was somewhat puzzled:
“If you can’t kill the body… can you not kill the soul?”
"Good question." Wujiu praised.
"Some people do it, and they do it better than you think."
"The creator of the tower you mentioned used this power to seal Alpha's soul."
"Think carefully, why did he seal her instead of killing her?"
"Could it be because the soul is also... immortal?"
"No, Alpha's soul can be destroyed, but the Well is a container that stores all the negative emotions of all things in the world. As long as this container is still there, new evil souls will continue to be injected."
"So... killing Alpha is indeed the way to end the distortion. His real name, the source of distortion, is indeed not wrong."
"But the problem is that he is truly immortal."
The "captain"'s truthful remark helped Spade Ten sort out the relationship.
It seems that Qian Yixin's original idea, which was to destroy Alpha's soul, was actually to seal it.
It’s just a pity that he made the wrong contract.
The tower builders had the right idea—
Alpha's body is indestructible, but his soul and body can be separated, leaving the body to die.
If you kill the soul, a new soul will be born, so you choose not to kill but to seal it.
Of course, in the process after the death of the tower builder and before Qian Yixin appeared, neither sealing nor killing was possible.
Because Alpha is too powerful.
Alpha's power lies in his infinite soul and immortal body.
And the words of "Five Nine" seem to indicate that in the Well World, there is a method that can make Alpha's body decay and his soul dry up.
It's just that this method... is the ultimate mystery, and no one knows the answer yet.
Bai Wu suddenly thought - perhaps the answer is hidden in the pieces of the doomsday puzzle.
The revelation in the Jingjing area... may be the answer.
"Captain, you have already revealed your attitude without realizing it. Perhaps you are deliberately testing me. But from the conversation just now, I am now sure..."
Bai Wu looked at "Wujiu":
"You are actually... the real rebel, right?"
