The lady did not hang up the phone. She still had some doubts:
"Why do you know the president's sequence?"
Bai Wu knew that the other party would definitely ask this question.
"When your people kidnapped me, they used a very advanced sequence. But when I killed him just now, he didn't use the sequence before he died. I can only suspect that his sequence disappeared. A person's sequence will not disappear for no reason, unless those sequences did not belong to him in the first place."
Seeing silence on the other end of the phone, Bai Wu said again:
"I should leave now, dear madam. I'd love to meet you if I get a chance. I bet you're very beautiful. By the way, I should be able to leave right away, right?"
There can't be a slaughterhouse on the third floor. If there is, it must be packaged in some larger corporate building.
Bai Wu was not sure whether there were some dangerous ambushes outside the slaughterhouse.
Especially if the other party was killed, even though the other party promised some things, these things were just like Trump’s business promises, and had no credibility at all.
Fortunately, he was very lucky. Not long after, the other end of the phone replied:
"You can go now. But you'd better forget everything that happened today. If the president wants you to die, it's as easy as crushing an ant. You can keep this phone. I will contact you later."
As an ant who had fought back twice, Bai Wu nodded:
"My admiration for the president is like the endless flow of the river, or the unstoppable flooding of the Yellow River. The president is the shining sun in the sky, guiding me..."
All…
There was a busy tone on the other end of the line.
Bai Wu pursed her lips and walked out of the slaughterhouse.
As he expected, this was not a real slaughterhouse, but a cellar that was later turned into a freezer.
Above the cellar is a factory. On the gate of the factory is written - the Fourth Branch of Hongyuan High Tower Production Base.
There was still blood on Bai Wu's shoulder, it didn't hurt, but it felt itchy. He simply smeared some blood on his face.
Some of the workers inside did not find it strange to see Bai Wu coming out of the cellar, and were even used to the bloodstains on Bai Wu's body.
They all come from the bottom of society. The third level restricts many of their powers, and when they enter factories, the companies will impose additional restrictions on their powers.
People who have lived here for many years also understand one thing: don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask, and don’t get involved in things that are not within your job scope.
Never think that if you help your boss do more and know more things, he will promote you.
He will just assign you more things to do, or think you know too much and just get rid of you.
Bai Wu didn't think too much about it. The Eye of Prell allowed him to see several of the casino's spies. He left calmly and walked towards the direction of the mental hospital.
…
…
madhouse.
After dealing with the giant, Wujiu contacted Liu Mu, the captain of Team 13.
The main reason is that Liu Mu's ability is more capable of restraining this former investigation corps cadre.
Wujiu was also very surprised by this sudden attack. Why would the Tower God attack the Survey Corps
What is its real purpose
Are they related to Yan Jiu's disappearance? These brain-consuming things can only be left to Bai Wu.
But they never saw Bai Wu coming back, and Wujiu guessed that Bai Wu had probably become friends with the Zhenyu Army.
Lin Daiyu was more straightforward. She thought that Bai Wu was probably obsessed with women and didn't want to leave.
Ye Weiming has been questioning some patients, but found nothing.
The lunatics in the asylum live together, yet they are separated from each other. Their mental world is too chaotic, and they cannot maintain normal social interactions.
It's like two people playing chess in the yard. One person thinks he is playing chess, while the other thinks he is playing chess.
Moreover, they both ignored each other's existence, believing that the chess pieces on the board were driven by a mysterious force.
If you stay with such people for a long time, you will naturally go crazy.
It was not until night that the white fog reached the asylum.
…
…
"You also met someone from the Tower God Society?"
Seeing Bai Wu, Wujiu first asked about his injuries, and then sent Lin Wurou and Ye Weiming away in an empty room.
Bai Wu didn't intend to hide anything from Aige, so he told him everything that had happened.
After listening to this, Wujiu felt somewhat guilty:
"I failed in my duty. Since I was attacked, I should have thought that they might not care about order at all and would launch a sneak attack on you as well. You did a great job this time. I didn't expect that the casino was also a force of the Tower God Society."
"Don't blame the captain. I am also surprised by the madness of the Tower God Society. By the way, what is the attitude of the Zhenyu Army towards the Tower God Society?"
"Just turn a blind eye. The Tower God Society is very mysterious, and the Tower Guards can do nothing about them. The Tower God Society's base is on the fourth floor, which is a place where the Guards will have many concerns if they take action."
Bai Wu nodded. This answer was not surprising. No wonder the lady had the confidence to let him go, because the other party was too powerful.
This attack was actually an interview. If I survived, it would be considered as passing the initial test.
And completing the so-called trial is considered passing the re-examination.
"Since you have successfully escaped this disaster, let's not talk about this. In fact, it would be safer if you go to the bottom floor. The bottom floor is too chaotic and it is difficult for the Tower God to infiltrate. By the way, have you reached an agreement with the Zhenyu Army?"
"Well, Mingche should believe me."
"In the Zhenyu Army, Mingche is a man who works in a gray area. He does things in an orderly manner. He also takes good care of his subordinates. You can get a lot of benefits by following him." Wujiu knew the people in the Zhenyu Army quite well.
Bai Wu also felt that Ming Che was not such a bad person. However, he still had to show his loyalty:
"Captain, I'm from Team 7. I won't follow Ming Che."
Wujiu nodded, but then said:
"But you can interact with him more often. This will help you get promoted in the future. I can accept your relationship as a spy on both sides."
This... Is the back door too wide? Bai Wu looked at Wu Jiu in surprise.
Wujiu said frankly:
"It's normal for a person to be greedy for money and lustful. Such people are more approachable. If we want to change the order of the tower, the source does not lie at the bottom."
Bai Wu touched his nose. Shorty really thinks I am an LSP... But to say this means he is opening his heart to me.
"You stay next door to me tonight. Also, you'd better blame the Zhenyu Army tomorrow."
Bai Wu nodded, this trick was quite clever.
As soon as the Zhenyu Army left, he was attacked. This was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of and accuse the Zhenyu Army of being insincere in their cooperation and of acting like gentlemen first and villains later.
In order to clear up the misunderstanding, Ming Che might provide further clues and secretly send someone to protect him. Kill two birds with one stone.
The short guy is still very smart.
…
…
The second day.
Everything was just as Bai Wu had planned, and things were going in a favorable direction.
When Mingche learned that Bai Wu was attacked, he immediately determined that the people who attacked Bai Wu were in the same group as those who attacked Wu Jiu.
They come from a troublesome organization, the Tower God Society.
In order to explain the misunderstanding, Mingche became more friendly towards Bai Wu and also arranged some masters of the Zhenyu Army to protect Bai Wu.
However, from top to bottom in the Zhenyu Army, only the captain-level figures are strong.
The backbone of the force is a level lower than the Survey Corps.
The so-called masters are all around the second stage, fifth stage, and their strength is not even as good as Bai Wu.
It didn't take too long to transfer the information from the fourth floor to the third floor, and Bai Wu arrived at a bright private winery.
The name of the winery is Mingyu Winery.
There are often some dignitaries from the fourth floor who come in to taste wine, which is also one of Mingche's capitals to hook up with married women and become the next-door Mr. Ming.
But today was not as lively as usual. Bai Wu was directly invited by the housekeeper to Mingche's study.
In this study room which was larger than his ground floor residence, he brought in all the clues left by Yan Jiu.
The first thing Bai Wu saw was a painting.
"Is this Yan Jiu's work?"
He used the word "work" because the painting skills reflected in this painting exceeded his imagination.
Few people can perfectly present what they imagine. This painting is very valuable. If the painter dies, it will be more valuable. If one day you go to the black area and find the scene in the painting, its value will increase even more.
"Is there a magnifying glass?" Bai Wu stared at the painting with his back to Ming Che.
"Yes." Mingche quickly brought a magnifying glass and Baiwu took it.
Bai Wu held a magnifying glass and admired the painting:
"I'm curious, do the children of nobles receive education?"
People at the bottom of society will receive the simplest education, which is arithmetic and literacy.
"Of course, starting from the third level, as long as you have enough financial resources, you can ensure that your children learn some courses before the high tower era." Mingche was very satisfied with Baiwu's attitude.
This is the difference between the nobles and the vulgar people at the bottom. He really hopes that Bai Wu can understand the significance of removing this word "second".
The painting shows a tower standing in some gloomy place.
Outside the tower are a vast expanse of black dots, most of which are very small. At a cursory glance, you cannot see the details at all, but occasionally you can see a few larger black dots.
If you look at them with a magnifying glass, you can see that these black spots are all various strange creatures drawn by Yan Jiu based on the contents of the book - those evil creatures.
In the gray and black tones, there is a huge and straight solitary tower, and outside the tower are densely packed with monsters.
It feels like a zombie siege.
Humans have tried countless times to find the tower's true location. Could it be that they have found it many times in the past seven hundred years
But every time I teleport to this area, I get eaten by monsters
But if you think about it carefully, the border of the black area is probably at the level of the red area.
This scene, after all, is just Yan Jiu's guess or even fantasy about the outside of the tower.
Although this speculation cannot be ruled out, it is possible that it is close to the truth.
This painting is not big, and therefore, it is extremely difficult to paint. Bai Wu even discovered that each evil creature has its own characteristics.
Some evil beings are killing each other, while others are commanding other evil beings.
There are also some evil creatures who wear human clothes and appear extremely mysterious.
Bai Wu admired Yan Jiu's imagination.
This painting skill, which could be described as subtle, made him marvel.
"This is not something that can be taught in school. This is true genius. Captain Ming, why is such a genius locked up in a mental hospital and never allowed out?"
Mingche shook his head and said:
"There are some things you shouldn't ask. And... I really don't know about this."
"OK."
Bai Wu said no more.
He continued to observe the painting. These black spots were densely packed. The people from the Zhenyu Army had also observed it, but not as carefully as Bai Wu.
"The tower is so straight, it looks like some kind of reference. The only clue left in the room is the arc she drew on the mirror. But judging by the skill shown in her painting, that arc shouldn't be so... shaky."
An artist's hands are naturally steady, otherwise the lines he draws will lack a sense of strength.
Following this line of thought, Bai Wu recalled the trajectory of the arc in the mirror. Using the tower as a reference, he looked down and soon discovered something was wrong.
Following the arc trajectory, he found several completely different evil creatures, all of whom were wearing rings in their hands.
But they are all worn on different fingers.
Bai Wu vaguely understood and asked again:
"What other records did Miss Yan Jiu leave behind?"
"It's all here." Mingche pointed to the other side of the desk.
There were some scattered paintings, but Bai Wu had a hunch that there were no clues in these paintings.
The rest is the diary.
Some things about the fourth floor in the diary have been selectively deleted, and what remains are almost all Yan Jiu's experiences in the mental hospital.
It does record some methods of communicating with different mental patients in the asylum.
Naturally, Yan Jiu also had some little ideas in mind. She even designed an escape plan in her diary.
But Bai Wu was sure that this method was just a cover left by Yan Jiu.
From the diary, Bai Wu discovered that Yan Jiu had chatted with a strange patient a long time ago.
The patient was in the room on the sixth floor of the asylum that he had not yet had time to examine.
That was the ward where Wujiu was attacked. Of course, it was not the people from the Tower God Society, but the original patients in that ward.
It was this patient who taught Yan Jiu a lot of knowledge outside the tower. There is a passage in the diary that reads:
"The tower is humanity's last safe haven. The evil ones cannot enter the tower, but humans are not as free as the evil ones. The evil ones enjoy a wider world, but humans are bound in this tower. One day, the evil ones outside the tower will find a way to enter the tower, destroy it, and rescue humans. Since only the evil ones can survive in the new world, wouldn't it be better to become evil?"
These words were told to Yan Jiu by the patient in the mental hospital. Yan Jiu just wrote them down, but he still had doubts about them.
"What a dangerous and crazy idea. This is such a clumsy lie. It's too much of a déjà vu."
Cain.
This sentence made Bai Wu subconsciously think of this person. If Cain was lurking in the mental hospital, this would make perfect sense.
And if it was Cain, it would be too easy to take Yan Jiu away. That high wall was child's play for Cain.
However, it cannot be 100% certain at the moment. After all, he has seen too many magical realities since he traveled to this tower. It is not ruled out that Cain is the only madman.
This is just an assumption we can make for now.
"Assuming that Cain took Yan Jiu away, then the most likely place for Yan Jiu is outside the tower. And the rings on your hands have different numbers on different fingers, so is that an area number?"
Bai Wu fell into thought.
Mingche looked at Bai Wu, and was sure that this person had really discovered something. He looked at Bai Wu with great anticipation.
Bai Wu is troubled by a problem, which is also the most critical part of the entire missing case.
"But if it's a number, it means that if you go to the area with that number, you can find her. But the problem is that this number will expire in three days. Yan Jiu has been missing for more than three days, so the number may have expired... Then what's the point of her leaving this clue?"
