Bai Yan's "Contact" tracing intelligence ability is very powerful, but the intelligence obtained when activated is random and fragmented, otherwise it can be called the top intelligence power.
Edles suddenly said: "If, if you find any special information, you must report it as soon as possible."
Bai Yan nodded.
"good."
After receiving the official permission and Adelais' identity card, Bai Yan quickly arrived at the archives room.
In the dark and silent archives, rows of tall bookcases were neatly placed in this huge room, and Bai Yan's footsteps sounded very clear.
He followed the instructions, picked up Edles' identity card, recited the incantation and pointed forward.
"Category C Incident 2511."
A roaring sound appeared in the ears, and the bookcases several people tall in the huge room started to move on their own. They kept moving for a long time, and one of the bookcases came to a stop in front of Bai Yan.
Bai Yan took out a light white book from the bookcase.
All relevant records about the "2511" incident are here.
Including but not limited to witness, physical evidence, memory... Although on the surface, they appear to be just a photo, they are actually all-encompassing.
Bai Yan turned to the first page of the book.
The first photo above is of a man in a black cloak with a look of fear on his face.
"So, what's going to happen?"
He took the photo lightly and chanted the incantation according to the instructions.
"Things from the past reveal reality."
The next moment, a figure in a black cloak appeared next to Bai Yan. His face was full of fear. He subconsciously wanted to run, but he couldn't move even half a step away from where he was.
"What's going on? What's going on with me?" he yelled!
Bai Yan looked at the record written in the book and said: "Well, you are already dead, and you died long after every bone was crushed by the 'Emperor'. What is collected here is your broken soul. "
The man in black cloak yelled: "No, that's not the case, the great Chaos Star will not abandon me!"
"Ahhh!"
He seemed to suddenly remember the pain of being tortured and killed by the "Emperor", and he howled crazily in an instant.
Bai Yan took the book and read it silently. It recorded information about this man. He was one of the senior believers, No. 7, and his real name was Varost.
At the same time, he is also a dark wizard who is good at sacrificing living people for summoning. The "Judgment Section" determined that he has killed 157 people, including 25 children.
Most of the staff in the Adjudication Section are retired night watchmen who have gone to work. These knowledgeable old people will be responsible for judging criminals and imposing necessary punishments.
This kind of trial will only be given to cultists or dark wizards with solid evidence. The threat of these two is huge, and at worst, they have the possibility of destroying the world, so they need special treatment.
If it were an ordinary transcendent criminal, or a guy who had not been caught with conclusive evidence, such as Renault... normal judicial procedures would be followed.
"Although I want to interrogate you, just seeing a scum like you makes me disgusted, and you should not be able to communicate normally in your current mental state."
Bai Yan's tone was very calm.
"Ah! Why! No! This is wrong!"
Number Seven was still roaring crazily, unable to accept the fact that he had been tortured and killed, let alone the fact that the great "Chaos Star" did not take him to his kingdom of God.
"After ordinary cultists are purified, the Anti-Demon Bureau, in the spirit of safeguarding the laws of the world, will not seal their souls, but will let them reincarnate... But obviously some people will be considered by the Judgment Division, There is no need for this precious opportunity.”
Bai Yan calmly reached out and touched it, activating the extraordinary power of "contact".
"..."
After a while, the soul of "No. 7" was taken back, and Bai Yan didn't look very good. He had just seen a lot of disgusting scenes using "Contact".
However, there is no desired content.
So he continued to investigate, and the evidence sealed on the second page was an item once used by "Mr. Mystery".
A high-level relic that looks like a small black clay doll. Its specific purpose is temporarily unknown.
After Bai Yan took it out, he put it in his hand and used "Contact".
The next moment, he saw a unique scene.
In the blurry picture, you can vaguely see the back of the man in the purple suit.
He was talking to a tall woman with blond hair and white clothes. That woman was the "No. 2" Balrog who had been defeated by Maryse.
Bai Yan suddenly had a hunch that this was it!
This is the information I want to find!
I didn't expect such good luck!
No, it would be better to say that since he turned on his extraordinary power, his luck has been good.
"No. 2... The leader has agreed to my plan. As long as the 'Emperor' is transferred by those idiots, this city will be ours."
"What about the Tower of Babel?"
"Well, they are a problem... but I have a way to make them no longer a problem."
"What do you say? I would like to hear it. Revenge against the Tower of Babel is what motivates me to come to this world again. I must skewer that little guy alive and grill him!"
"Our Lord has sent down an oracle to allow His powerful descendant 'Shadow' to come. By then the danger of the Tower of Babel will not be worth mentioning... And we only need to prepare a sufficient number of 'Deep Sea Ones' , as the necessary sacrifice to welcome it.”
Bai Yan was slightly startled because he heard a word that he had already forgotten.
Deep Sea One!
Of course he still remembered that the soul dancer, Maryse, had discovered the secret laboratory studying "deep sea dweller transformation technology" in the building of the pharmaceutical company.
So that’s it, everything is connected!
The Deep Sea One is a tribute given to a powerful being, and "Mr. Mystery" will use the power of that powerful being to "release the darkness" to seize the entire city.
After breaking away from the broken scene, Bai Yan still stood where he was.
He didn't just leave the archives.
"There's one more thing to do."
Bai Yan knew in his heart that his revised memory and the relevant clues about the incident thirteen years ago must have been recorded here.
And only by successfully finding it can you "transform".
Increasing the combat effectiveness of a single target is secondary, but increasing extraordinary power will also change the Tower of Babel, so... This is the most important thing at the moment.
"Thank you, captain... I'm sorry. According to the regulations, I will probably be fired afterwards, but in fact, I am very happy working with you these days."
Bai Yan picked up Adelais' identity card again, with a firm look in his eyes.
Welcome to the past.
Chapter 120 Superego, Id, Self (Revised)
Thirteen years ago.
At that time, something terrible must have happened to him, Bai Yan knew this very well.
Regarding the records from thirteen years ago, Bai Yan is already standing in front of this "No. 13" bookcase.
"Okay, the answer is about to be revealed."
He took out the book, flipped through it, and found a lot of content.
For example, the list of victims.
There is no doubt that his and Aaron's names are in it.
"The Aaron I rescued from being 'bullied' thirteen years ago, his level of bullying was really high."
Bai Yan raised his eyebrows, understanding that Aaron knew the truth.
But he never told himself.
Maybe, some people will feel angry, as if they were betrayed by a good friend.
But Bai Yan doesn't think so. He has always believed in the principle that "not everyone must know everything" and has no hesitation in hiding all the secrets of the Tower of Babel.
In this case, everyone can be considered even.
There are also some records and speculations about the "Tower".
The members of the "Tower" who died 13 years ago suddenly appeared in the world of Noah and came to the Sky Alliance, calling themselves... "arrogant".
"An unknown race, possessing terrifying power that is suspected to be at the 'Apocalypse' level, died due to the failure of a game-type ritual with "No. 1878908"."
"It is speculated that 'Arrogance' most likely wanted to launch some kind of ritual to sacrifice Chenhai City, but died unexpectedly and the sacrifice was suspended."
This one with a very long number should be me, so thirteen years ago I single-handedly killed an 'Apocalypse' level transcendent
Bai Yan raised his eyebrows when he saw this and blinked.
"Then I'm really getting weaker. Thirteen years ago I was able to defeat a demigod. Now if I don't use 'God Farewell' I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat the neighbor's uncle's dog."
While muttering to himself, he flipped through the books page after page in his hand, constantly looking for important clues.
"Biancheng, male, number 1878904 (memory correction)"
"Gale, male, number 1878905 (memory correction)"
"Yishui, female, number 1878906 (memory correction)"
"..."
There were many participants in the incident, and the two that most concerned Bai Yan were of course "No. 1878907 Aaron (Income)" and "No. 1878908 Bai Yan (Memory Correction)"
It seems that all participants in the incident except Aaron have been corrected by the memory of the Demon Enforcement Agency.
This is a common tactic among the Night Watchers.
In the Sky Alliance, extraordinary things are of course not allowed to be leaked. Those ordinary people who accidentally participate will have their memories forcibly corrected. It seems that they have also been treated in this way.
"This is it."
His pupils suddenly shrank.
Bai Yan took a deep breath and tapped his finger gently on the black and white photo on the last page of the book, which recorded the "passage" of the incident thirteen years ago.
"Things from the past reveal reality."
The next moment, the scenery around Bai Yan began to change, the bookcases continued to disappear, the darkness turned to blue, and everything became completely different like a whirlwind.
He has arrived on a huge chessboard, surrounded by the wind that is constantly caressing him.
"chess?"
Bai Yan noticed that this was a chessboard floating in the blue sky. The huge chess pieces were like little giants one after another. Below the chessboard was Chenhai City!
At both ends of the sky chessboard, the chess players are two completely different entities.
On one side is a monster over five meters tall, with a black and white body like a silverfish, six skinny arms, and eight blue eyes on its face that are constantly blinking.
This is "arrogance".
One of the members of the legendary "Tower", this extraordinary organization is a mysterious organization that exists outside Noah. Their members come from various civilizations, with few humans.
On the other side is Bai Yan when he was a boy.
Yes, Bai Yan saw himself as a child, a handsome and expressionless boy.
He was sitting on a seat suspended in mid-air, missing an eye, a leg, and an arm.
A voice as light as a girl came from the mouth of the terrifying "Pride".
"The fifty-seventh round begins, choose your bet."
The young man Bai Yan had an expressionless smile on his face.
"The bet is that boy's eyes."
He pointed casually.
Bai Yan saw that there was a huge hanging birdcage in the direction he was pointing, filled with children. The blond boy who Bai Yan pointed at looked very much like... Aaron when he was a child.
Aaron stared blankly at this scene, his eyes full of admiration and fear.
The chess game begins.
