A lunatic in a lunatic asylum.
Bai Wu almost had PTSD when he heard the word "madhouse". He instinctively thought of a place full of talented people.
Especially after going out of the tower several times and learning that Cain was most likely in the tower, he felt that it would not be surprising if there really was such a place in the tower.
"Any information about this crazy woman?"
"We have to get it from the Zhenyu Army." Wujiu was a little helpless.
The implication is that there is no intelligence.
Bai Wu saw something from Wujiu's expression:
"On the surface, we are helping the Zhenyu Army solve the case, but in fact, we are competing with the Zhenyu Army?"
"Yes." Wujiu nodded.
Bai Wu asked again:
"So how much intelligence do we know?"
"The location of the asylum, the time when the target disappeared, a week ago."
That's it? Isn't this Liu Mu's interview with Bai Wu - he knows nothing
"Does the asylum have surveillance video?"
"have."
Wujiu said yes, but he was shaking his head.
Bai Wu frowned:
"It seems that the Zhenyu Army destroyed the video."
"Yes, it was destroyed two days ago. They have a backup. But I'm afraid they won't give it to us."
"Just because you don't want us to solve the case first, you'd rather keep the clues hidden than bring them out for everyone to discuss together?"
"This kind of thing has happened quite a lot over the years. It seems that the higher-ups are also trying to suppress us."
Bai Wu continued to ask patiently:
"I remember the captain said that they already have some clues?"
"Yes."
"Is it possible to steal these clues?"
"no way."
Without waiting for Bai Wu to ask, Wu Jiu explained:
"The intelligence is on the fourth floor. We don't even have the chance to go there. Most of the time they handle cases on the fourth floor."
Generally speaking, Bai Wu understood what the case was.
The situation was almost the same as being in the zoo, a nightmare beginning.
The scene was a week later and the information that could be found was very limited. The "colleagues" who knew some clues were basically lucky not to cause more trouble.
Moreover, the target spans the third, fourth and fifth floors, but the scope of investigation can only be on the third floor. Judging from the activities of the imperial army in Gaota Town, there may be more clues on the fourth floor.
There is no way to investigate this case.
"It's a losing game, can't we just shirk it?"
"I can't refuse, and I believe you." Wujiu was very calm.
Bai Wu looked at Wujiu and wanted to complain, "Dear brother, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
However, the excitement on Bai Wu's face still betrayed his true thoughts.
The more unfavorable the situation is, the more excited you can become.
"I have another question."
"You speak."
"Why do we have to bring him along? Yin Shuang should be smarter, right?" The white mist was referring to Lin Wu Rou.
Lin Wurou glared and mocked:
"Stupid and ignorant newcomer."
Ye Weiming has good business skills and might be of some use. The captain is responsible for the military force, and Bai Wu had never expected the usefulness of Lin Wurou.
"Wu Rou is very good at scolding people, but Zhen Yu Jun deserves to be scolded."
Bai Wu was stunned. He didn't expect Wujiu's answer to be so simple, and he was really convinced.
He remembered the captain saying that although Lin Daiyu had a sharp tongue, she was very considerate to her own people. However, to outsiders, her tongue was ten times more vicious.
It's nice to have a troll teammate if the opponent is annoying enough.
"That's really an important role." Bai Wu was a little looking forward to it.
Wujiu stood up:
"It's late at night, you should get some rest, we will set off tomorrow morning."
It took Bai Wu seventeen hours to leave the tower. He left the tower at four in the morning and it is now nine in the evening.
He nodded, saw Lin Wurou and Wujiu off, learned about today's income from Liu Chengzi and Ye Weiming, and then went to bed contentedly.
…
…
The next day.
There were about twenty people on the huge elevator that went up to the third floor of the tower.
Some were merchants who went to the third floor. They were not residents of the lower floor, but had set up some businesses there. These people basically had sad faces.
In sharp contrast are some of the lower-level slaves squatting in the corners with their heads down. They go to the third floor, where they have very little authority and are just requisitioned to do some dirty and tiring work.
Bai Wu and the others were wearing the uniforms of the Survey Corps, which was different from the other two groups.
"Captain, there's something I've always wanted to know."
It takes a certain amount of time to rise and fall 900 meters, so Bai Wu started talking.
"Just say it."
"The investigation corps outside the tower is responsible for risking their lives and going out of the tower to investigate. This also makes the combat effectiveness of the investigation corps generally higher than that of the high tower defense army. But in this way, the combat effectiveness of the two armies is unbalanced. Don't the high tower defense army have a sense of crisis?"
Bai Wu didn't say it clearly, but Wu Jiu understood what he meant. Both armies were from the fifth level. One army enjoyed the treatment of lower class people, and the other army enjoyed the treatment of nobles. However, the lower class people controlled stronger military forces...
Aren’t you afraid that the situation will suddenly change one day
Wujiu shook his head:
"The middle and lower ranks of the Zhen Yu Army are not as strong as us, far less so. But their overall strength... is actually not inferior to the Survey Corps."
This answer puzzled Bai Wu:
"You mean, among the top combat forces, we are not as good as the Zhenyu Army?"
"It is very similar to our structure. They also have sixteen divisions, and the organization within each division is also similar. In terms of members, we are stronger, but in terms of top combat power, the Zhenyu Army has always suppressed our Investigation Army."
After Wujiu finished speaking, Lin Wurou took over and said:
"The Tower Guard Corps holds a martial arts competition with us every year. Each of the sixteen teams selects its strongest person to compete with the strongest characters from the other sixteen teams. The result is... eleven teams from our Survey Corps were defeated."
"Their squad leaders all have companion powers at level five or six, and their sequences are between 200 and 300, or even 100 and 200. Any one of these people is a monster. And the scariest thing is that we know almost nothing about them."
"Every year, during the military exercises between the two armies, they also have many new faces. These new faces... are also perverts. Their talent supply is even more exaggerated than our Survey Corps."
"Before the captain took over, no one in our investigation corps had ever won first place in the martial arts performance. However, in the past two years, the captain has always won first place in the martial arts performance."
Lin Wu Rou was very proud of his captain, who was so powerful that no one, not even the top brass of the Zhenyu Army, could deal with him.
However, Bai Wu could still sense some suspicious points in Lin Wu Rou's information.
The Gaota Town Royal Army has many top masters.
According to Lin Wurou, the companion power of these masters starts at level 5. There are even level 6 ones. If that's all, the Survey Corps is not bad.
But the most important thing is that their sequence is far ahead of the Survey Corps.
The former is basic combat capability, and the latter is combat skill. If the gap is too big, the winner will be obvious.
It was monsters like Wujiu, which are at the eighth level and fourth stage, that helped the Survey Corps regain some face in the past two years.
But what is really worth thinking about is why the Tower Town Guards have so many masters of rare sequences
It seems that there is something subversive on the fifth floor... or even the sixth floor
Just as Bai Wu was thinking about these questions, the third floor arrived.
(More on that later)
