An expected question for the Ten of Spades.
But just as Spade Ten was about to answer this question, Spade Ten suddenly asked a question that Bai Wu and Jing Liu were not expecting.
“Is there an invisible presence around you?”
"Why do you ask?" Bai Wuyang pretended to be puzzled.
He was indeed confused, or rather surprised, but the confusion on his expression was indeed the kind of inexplicable confusion.
Although Jing Liu doesn't have much use, Bai Wu doesn't want to expose Jing Liu for the time being.
The Ten of Spades smiled:
"Nothing, just a casual question."
Jing Liu suddenly said:
"He definitely didn't ask casually."
Bai Wu also believed this. The question asked by Ten of Spades was too strange.
Spade Ten did not let Bai Wu think about this matter for too long and said:
"We'll be at my place soon. Although you're too strong for Bai Yuan and I right now, your situation isn't safe, so I'll treat you as... an ordinary guest."
"Don't worry about your question. I will answer it for you. I will drink some hot tea when I get home."
…
…
The garbage truck didn't drive for long before it slowly drove into the residence of Spade Ten.
The garbage dump on the outskirts of the city can be seen in the distance.
About three kilometers away from the landfill, there is still a faint sour smell of mold in the air.
It’s hard to imagine that there are two visitors from another world, both are good criminals, and one is a doctor with a perfect personality in a small town.
One lived in a box truck far away in a garbage dump.
Spade Ten's home is very simple, with nothing but a TV, a radio, and an old-looking computer.
However, Bai Wu remembered a case in which this guy used a helicopter to drop money in order to divert the police's attention.
So Bai Wu guessed that this was also one of the ways that Spade Ten deceived people.
Or maybe it's the bad taste of the Ten of Spades.
When he arrived at his own Spade Ten and lay down on the old faded brown sofa, Bai Wu even felt that rats and cockroaches could crawl out of the sofa.
The house is actually tidy, even very tidy, but it is not uncommon to see some cute little animals in the house.
Spade Ten poured two cups of hot tea without haste. The tea leaves were quite special.
"I just got this tea from the fat guy's house, which costs more than 80,000 yuan per pound. I've been thinking about it all the way here, but I didn't expect that someone would come and taste it with me today."
"You should at least prepare a set of tea utensils and... a more professional brewing method." Bai Wu complained.
"Hahaha, you are quite particular." Ten of Spades motioned Bai Wu to sit down.
Bai Wu sat on the other side of the old sofa. Between the two of them was a low table that served as a dining table, a storage table, and a coffee table.
After taking a sip of tea, Ten of Spades said:
"Now we can talk about the problem you just mentioned. This world is a tower."
"Tell me the situation first, why don't you ask Bai Yuan."
Bai Wu does not intend to reveal the secret of the Eye of Prell and does not look for Bai Yuan because the sequence prompts that contacting Bai Yuan will cause big problems with cause and effect.
Bai Wu didn't know what the problem was. Why wouldn't there be any problem finding the Ten of Spades
"No comment. I need to know why you think this world is a tower."
The Ten of Spades doesn't beat around the bush:
"We are looking for the tower, but we are actually looking for the well. No one knows where the tower and the well will appear."
"Perhaps you have seen a chaotic area and thought that the well was nearby. But in fact, that area can only prove the existence of the well, but it is difficult to prove that the well is nearby. The place where the well appears may be very far away."
"And the tower is a tower, and the well is also perhaps a tower. We are just on a certain floor of the tower."
This statement is very similar to the situation that Bai Wu understands.
He activated the distortion from the "shell" left by Alpha, established a connection with the well, and was then brought back to the well world.
So we came to the first level - the clean well area.
The environment there is beautiful, with a lot of pure evil.
Then, through one choice - killing, I entered the second level.
Perhaps this is the next level of the "Tower".
So I came to Jingshi.
There are many people in Jing City, and although everyone's lives are controlled by the chaebols, they are generally orderly.
A small number of rebels destroyed the city, but they were ultimately powerless.
And in this orderly city, he made another choice - killing, or rather killing his friends.
To clean up the well area, all you need to do is kill.
But the Jingshi area, on top of the killing, carries something else.
"Zero" seemed to know this, so he set up a plan to help himself.
So I came to the third level well world
Is this the third level well world
The white mist stopped thinking:
"What about evidence? Your statements are all inferences. You believe that this world is a tower. There must be evidence, right?"
"The evidence is that your good father Bai Yuan and I did not become ordinary people once we arrived here."
Ten of Spades looked at Bai Wu very carefully. At this moment, Bai Wu could faintly feel that Ten of Spades' breathing rhythm had changed.
But soon, the Ten of Spades calmed down:
"Three points."
"First of all, Bai Yuan and I are both proficient in hypnosis. In the subconscious of a few people, we both discovered that there are a small number of people in this world who think that the world is a tower in their dreams."
"Secondly, although Bai Yuan and I have never entered the tower, we both know that one enters the tower through a teleportation stone tablet, and we also entered this place through a teleportation stone tablet."
"In the end, the Tower repels evil, repels what is twisted, and we... are repels from it."
"As you know, the tower isolates the distortion, but it is not completely isolated. There are also a small number of people who can use some powers outside the sequence inside the tower."
"It's the same with this place. He doesn't exclude you. You're a special case."
The three points of the Ten of Spades indeed made Bai Wu feel that this was a tower.
But if the well is an upside-down tower, how do you get to the next level of the tower
On the second level, in the Well Market, killing requires a certain price, so what about the third level
Bai Wu had a doubt in his heart, and he spoke it out directly:
“Before I came into this world, I was in a well. In my eyes, the well looked like a tower.”
"My goal is to explore the deepest levels of the well and find the pieces of the Doomsday puzzle and the secrets of the Seven Deadly Sins."
“But when I was about to go to the third level, a friend of mine told me that the well world on the third level is a more distorted place, and its impact on the real world is more intuitive…”
Ten of Spades narrowed his eyes. He was not surprised, but he still found Bai Wu's wonderful experience very interesting.
"And my intuition tells me that this place..."
Before Bai Wu could finish, the Ten of Spades said:
"Your intuition tells you that this place is not the third floor, right?"
"right."
"Then have you ever thought that this place is on the fourth floor. Or the fifth floor."
The casual point made by Spade Ten made Bai Wu suddenly stunned.
Ten of Spades said:
"The higher you go in a tower, the more secrets it hides. The deeper you go in a well, the more secrets it hides."
Bai Wu agreed with this point. Perhaps when he reached the bottom layer, he would be able to know what the scroll constructed by the puzzle would bring.
And what the seven deadly sins entail.
The Ten of Spades continued:
"But if this place is deeper than the third floor, but only ordinary people can survive here, don't you think it's... weird?"
Bai Wu certainly felt strange.
According to Zero, the further down you go, the fewer restrictions you have and the stronger your power will be.
The real strong ones of the seven major conglomerates are all in the third level or deeper well world.
But if this is the fourth floor, why are there... only ordinary people here
The Ten of Spades suddenly took off his coat:
"When you were a child, did you ever take a bath with your father?"
"… "
The topic change was very abrupt, especially since Ten of Spades was still taking off his clothes. Bai Wu suddenly felt that the atmosphere was getting tense.
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't be nervous. You are a person shrouded in distortion, and I am an ordinary person. Are you afraid of me?"
Indeed, if one really uses force, the Ten of Spades will be the one that Jay cannot escape.
But this makes the Ten of Spades' behavior even stranger.
However, although Spade Ten does not have a perfect appearance like Bai Yuan, he also has facial features that are pleasing to the eye.
Jing Liu didn't care at all and watched the scene with a playful look.
"Here, look here."
Ten of Spades didn't mean to show off his abdominal muscles, he turned around and let Bai Wu see his back.
There are purple-black lines on the spine of the Ten of Spades.
From a distance, it looked like a giant purple-black centipede crawling on the back of the Ten of Spades.
Bai Wu suddenly realized that the Ten of Spades took off his clothes suddenly just to show him this.
"Is Bai Yuan also carrying it?" Bai Wu asked.
"No way, no way, as you are his son, he has never given you a bath?"
"Yes, but he was wearing a white coat at that time."
“Hahahahahahahahahaha…” Ten of Spades laughed happily.
"So first impressions are very important. This guy wore hospital gowns when he was a child. All the children on the farm wore that, except Jingyi, who wore a white coat. So in his aesthetic sense, white coats became the best-looking clothes."
The Ten of Spades began to put on his clothes, saying as he did so:
"It's just ridiculous that she wears it even when taking a bath with her own son. Maybe she does this to avoid you noticing?"
"I wonder if he and your mom also wore a white coat when they made the baby, ahahahahaha… I can’t hold it anymore, I need to laugh for a while."
White fog with black lines all over.
He seemed to understand the old rivals, Spade Ten and Bai Yuan.
This is not like the situation between me and Jingwu.
These two seemed to enjoy being enemies with each other. At least that was the case with the Ten of Spades.
Bai Yuan pursues fun, and the Ten of Spades can definitely bring a lot of fun.
After a long while, the Ten of Spades said:
"When he and I came into this world, I had a strange feeling in my back, so he was interested in continuing the family line."
"Because he knows that this world is rejecting him and me. It's not just taking away our power, it's also... trying to kill us."
"This world is expelling us in this way. But Bai Yuan enjoys everything in this world. As for me, I don't really like a world without Bai Yuan as an enemy."
"So he and I are both waiting to die."
"We don't know when we'll die, maybe you can give us a spoiler?"
Of course Bai Wu would not spoil such things.
He was a little dazed.
In fact, we knew before that Bai Yuan’s death was due to being rejected by this world.
But he didn't know that the process of "rejection" was so terrible.
Bai Yuan, who pursues perfection so much, would never let anyone see his back.
So over the years... did Bai Yuan never take off his white coat in public
Perhaps, for Bai Yuan, the white coat is just a shell that deceives himself
The Ten of Spades returned to the previous topic:
"So you see, this place, according to your route, this world is in the well, maybe a place more twisted than the third layer. But Bai Yuan and I have mastered powerful abilities, but we are rejected and weakened by this world."
"But we can't leave here yet. Do you find this situation familiar?"
Bai Wu understood the meaning of the Ten of Spades and said suddenly:
"Alpha! The Distorted Lord in the Tower?"
"correct answer."
Spade Ten crossed his fingers, sat on the sofa, and squinted at Bai Wu:
"This place makes Bai Yuan and I feel like Alpha in the tower. We are trapped here and unable to escape, yet we are excluded by this place."
"But Bai Yuan and I are outsiders. This place has existed for a long time, so we have to consider one thing—the people who really want to be trapped in this place are definitely not Bai Yuan and me. Bai Yuan and I just came here by accident."
"There is someone else who is truly trapped in this world, or rather, the mission of this world is to trap this person."
Jing Liu agreed with this statement and looked at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu's thoughts and concerns were even more complex and far-reaching. He arranged and combined countless pieces of information in his mind, and finally discovered... The world he was in was probably a crucial world.
"In the Well City, all citizens are real. To the Well City, or the wells on the second level, these people are flesh and blood, and they are real lives."
"But for the real world, these people are all parameters and rules. The real world and the Well World have a strange and complex correspondence."
"And according to 'Zero', the deeper you go, the stronger this correspondence becomes."
"If, as the Ten of Spades said, this place is a level deeper than the third level... then the contrast between this world and the real world will be even stronger."
"In the real world, Alpha is sealed in a tower."
"There is also a person in the Well World who is trapped in this world?"
"If the relationship between this person and Alpha is a comparison, then seven hundred years later, Alpha escaped from the tower. Does that also mean... seven hundred years later, someone in this world... escaped from the predicament?"
These thoughts flashed through Bai Wu's mind in an instant.
Bai Wu raised his head:
"I see! I understand!"
(I’m still stuck on the follow-up details, but I won’t take leave for a while, and I will do my best to ensure daily updates. The big climax will take a long time to prepare.)
