"Over the past few years, the captain has also softened." The big man said calmly: "No longer keeping distance from us."
Bai Yan silently looked at Adelais's face and suddenly remembered two things.
When he first met her, Adelais was also very rude and directly said that he was the new problem child.
I thought she had such a temper.
But later, she also criticized herself in the car, but immediately lost her temper after being criticized back.
Bai Yan feels more and more these days that Adelais is not a domineering person in nature... Coupled with what Holly and the big guy said.
She is deliberately keeping a distance from others... This is the only conclusion Bai Yan can draw.
But what's the reason
Bai Yan didn't know.
All he knew was that at least today Adelais took off his disguise and showed a happy smile.

Inside the Tower of Babel.
Soft music played leisurely, and the lunch time for the logistics staff had arrived.
In the giant white research institute, inside the hall, which is entirely made of metal, there are rows and rows of metal tables and chairs.
Pots after pots of nutritionally balanced food automatically appeared on the table.
Although each pot contained nutritious food in a well-balanced proportion, the presentation was terrible and looked like a large blob of colorful slime.
The door on the white wall of the hall slowly opened.
One after another, people with tired and numb expressions quickly walked into the canteen. No one dared to stay where they were for fear of being punished.
Lunch time lasts for half an hour. For them, this half hour is precious "free time".
The people here are all dark wizard apprentices, cultists, criminals...all sent in by the core operators of the Tower of Babel.
One after another, more than thirty people were sent here one after another.
Seated.
Serra sat with several dark wizard apprentices, including the bald and pudgy old man from before. They all seemed to be headed by Serra.
The red-haired woman was playing with a small red fruit in her hand, with a faint and peaceful smile on her face.
The red fruit is fire dragon gold, a high-grade magic potion material. Although eating it directly is a waste of resources, it will make the eater feel as happy as smoking a cigarette.
"Praise be to the great Master of Babel."
These people in Serra were completely different from the others. They would close their eyes before every meal and pray to the Lord of Babel with great piety.
“Praise the Lord, and the Lord will reward you.”
The red-haired Sera looked indifferent and gave each of them a red fruit. They ate it greedily, with looks of great enjoyment on their faces.
Some people around looked envious, hesitant to join in.
Sera sat among the crowd and continued: "I will end up here because I did something wrong and deserve to be punished."
“But our great Master of Babel is kind and great. He did not just let us disappear, but chose to give us a chance to change our ways.”
“Only serious repentance.”
"Submit to the will of the Master of Babel."
"It's only now that we have the chance to leave this place of trial."
Several people who had eaten the fruit nodded, closed their eyes and began to repeat Sera's words, even the once extremely irritable Baldhead was no exception.
Renault sat in the corner, staring at this scene coldly.
"clown."
That woman just wants to play with people's hearts.
As a veteran aristocrat, Renault knew this very well and was dismissive of it.
He took a few bites of food casually, got up and came to the window.
Renault looked at the laboratory on the other side of the cafeteria. The space inside was very wide, and there were a large number of strange monsters trapped by various devices.
"Number three".
The shadow demon with the appearance of a thin girl with black hair and her mouth sewn shut was also there. She was firmly fixed in a jar, and her body was surrounded by various needle tubes, which were constantly extracting various unique substances.
Renault simply couldn't believe it. The shadow demon's power was not much inferior to his own, but now he was completely at the mercy of others.
A tragic end.
And on this side, I just have better luck.
However, this terrifying humanoid monster has never been completely drained. Just like them, every monster and alien will be maintained at a good level of health.
"Master of the Tower of Babel... what kind of existence are you?"
Raynor muttered to himself.
And on earth, how can we get out from here
—
In the office, Bai Yan was thinking about the captain.
She looked very wrong just now.
But since neither Big Man nor Holly knows the reason, perhaps only Lin Bian will know the reason. They are the Night Watchmen of the same class.
Suddenly, Bai Yan found his cell phone ringing and answered the call.
The call was from Aaron.
"I will pay back the money in a few days." Bai Yan said immediately.
However, that was not what Aaron said, his tone was very serious.
"Bai Yan, this matter is very important..."
"What?"
Bai Yan was extremely shocked when he heard the news, and was even able to confirm one thing immediately.
The storm is coming!
Aaron continued on the phone: "Yes, that's right, the 'Emperor' was suddenly transferred away to perform other tasks."
"This is an order from the kings, a formal decision made by the Sky Alliance Hundred Kings Conference. If the 'Emperor' disobeys it, it will be regarded as treason."
Bai Yan had a bad feeling in his heart.
If... ...
It's just that if "Mr. Mystery" had just designed the fake death scene, he knew in advance that the "Emperor" would be transferred.
So, can you explain...
Other senior leaders of the Black Star Society have even penetrated into... the highest level of society in the Sky Alliance.
And next, "Mr. Mystery" will seize the limited time and fight to the death!
"Who knows tomorrow?"
His tone was calm.
"Aaron, the world is like this. It will never remain the same, and accidents will always happen... But no matter what changes occur, there will always be people who can successfully persevere and stand to the end."
Chapter 119 The most important thing
Aaron was a little puzzled on the phone and said, "Well, why are you saying this? I feel like you mean that something will happen to Chen Hai after the 'Emperor' leaves."
Bai Yan immediately replied: "Don't you think so? I feel from your tone that you think so too."
He could clearly hear Aaron's tone on the phone being heavy and worried. This guy obviously didn't want the "Emperor" to leave at the critical moment.
On the other end of the phone, in the first team office, Aaron was really worried.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the recent extermination operation was too easy, and the reason why "Mr. Mystery" has always been considered difficult by everyone.
The most important thing is...
"Mr. Mystery", just like his nickname, is always full of mystery and his whereabouts are weird and unpredictable. No one has caught him for many years.
Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, as long as he is not as strong as the "Queen of the Scarlet Moon", the Demon Enforcement Bureau will definitely be able to kill him as long as he takes action.
However, just a few days after the "Emperor" arrived, "Mr. Mystery" suddenly showed his flaws, and was successfully taken over by the Demon Enforcement Bureau.
Isn't this too coincidental? What a coincidence!
In fact, Aaron was not the only one who had doubts. Before the war started, the Night Watchmen collectively suspected that this would be a trap.
Please fall into the terrible trap.
But because of the existence of the "Emperor", even if there might be a trap, the top officials of the Anti-Demon Bureau still launched this encirclement and suppression after discussion.
The absolute power of the "Emperor" lived up to expectations and easily destroyed "Mr. Mystery".
Afterwards, the first thing Kesel did was to confirm whether the person he killed was the real "Mr. Mystery".
As it turns out, the soul is a perfect match.
There is no mistake, the person who died was the cult priest "Mr. Mystery" who had been notorious for decades.
Even so, Aaron was still worried. After the "Emperor" was suddenly transferred, he called Bai Yan.
He didn't know why he didn't go to communicate with Lin Bian, but made a special call to communicate with Bai Yan, whose combat power was only 5.5.
Aaron asked tentatively: "So, Bai Yan, you also think something might happen?"
Bai Yan smiled and said: "But the Anti-Demon Bureau is so strong, and we still have the existence of the Tower of Babel, so we shouldn't be unable to resist the conspiracy."
"In short, it's not something that a newcomer like me can worry about."
After hearing these words, Aaron said a little guilty:
"Why do you have so much trust in the Anti-Demon Bureau and the Tower of Babel? Forget about the Anti-Devil Bureau, Tower of Babel is, in the end, just a mysterious organization with an unknown position. How can you trust them so much?"
Well, as a super "iron wolf", Aaron always subconsciously wants to step on the Tower of Babel in order to pretend that he is a good "civilian".
Otherwise he feels uncomfortable.
Bai Yan was silent for a while and sighed.
"Although I'm just a newcomer and don't understand things in the other world, the various behaviors of that Tower of Babel... always make me feel like they don't look like bad people."
Aaron also fell silent, always feeling uncomfortable no matter what he said on this topic.
Of course, Bai Yan knew nothing about the fate between the Tower of Babel and himself, so he had to deceive him when he told him about it.
Sorry, Bai Yan.
The Tower of Babel is still too far away from you.
"Well, I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first, Bai Yan." Aaron said silently.
After putting down his phone, Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
He came to Captain Edles' desk.
"Captain, I have to apply for something and go to the archives to check something."
Adeles looks normal, and the gaffe he made some time ago seems completely non-existent.
"What to check?"
she asked coolly.
Bai Yan replied calmly: "As for the clues preserved in the seal after the siege of 'Mr. Mystery', I want to use my own ability to investigate them again to see if I can find any additional information."
Adelais was silent for a moment and said: "I originally had this idea and asked you to try it, but I haven't decided yet whether I want to tell you... Your ability may have very good effects, but it's a pity. It’s beyond control.”
She took out her card and handed it to Bai Yan.
"Use my card to investigate. I'm too lazy to ask for your special permission from above."
"Okay, thank you."
