Aaron was silent for a moment, thinking about how to ask.
According to the surveillance outside the classroom, Bai Yan did not leave the classroom for a long time. He was the last person to come into contact with the suspected member of the Tower of Babel "Hunter Mu Zhen".
Unfortunately, the surveillance in the classroom has been destroyed by the cultists in advance, and no useful information can be retrieved at all.
Of course, Aaron believed that Bai Yan was absolutely innocent and could not be related to any mysterious force. He also did not want to disturb his friend's peaceful life.
But he also understood that the situation in the "Tower of Babel" was of great importance and must be investigated carefully without any information being missed.
Aaron smiled and put his hands behind his back. A faint red seven-pointed star appeared on the back of his right hand, and he routinely activated the "detection of lies" spell.
"I heard someone say... Last night, you were chatting with the freshman iceberg goddess Mu Zhen in the classroom. So, what are you talking about?"
Chapter 18 Important Meeting
Bai Yan thought for a moment, then turned around to get the water from the small refrigerator in the corner.
"Are you thirsty? Drink some water."
In fact, it looked like he was stalling for time and thinking while he was getting water.
Aaron's purpose is too obvious.
Even an ordinary person would notice something was wrong if he suddenly came to ask about such a topic, let alone Bai Yan, who was extremely sensitive to this matter.
Obviously, his friend Aaron is investigating the people involved in the "explosion" incident.
Is he a cultist? Or they are members of other forces. In short, they cannot be ordinary people.
Bai Yan tried hard to recall the background of the game "Tower of Babel" and remembered that there was an organization called the Demon Enforcement Bureau, whose members, the "Night Watchers," maintained the order of the Sky Alliance to a large extent.
Aaron may also be a member of the Anti-Demon Bureau, a night watchman on the order side, but no matter who he is, he must keep the biggest secret.
Thinking of this, Bai Yan had already taken out the mineral water from the small refrigerator and started pouring it into the cup.
"Sorry, I don't have any drinks at home."
There is surveillance in the classroom, but Aaron definitely did not discover my true situation, otherwise there would be no need to make such a simple inquiry.
It is possible that the surveillance cameras had been destroyed beforehand, either by the cultist or by the mysterious power of the Tower of Babel.
You must be careful with your next answers!
In Bai Yan's impression, the Anti-Devil Bureau has powerful lie detection technology. It's not just them. There are many powers that can detect lies in "Tower of Babel".
"Drink."
Bai Yan smiled and handed over the ice water that had just come out. Aaron did not extend his right hand with the seven-pointed star on it, but smiled and took the water glass with his left hand.
"Thanks."
"Aaron, why are you asking about Mu Zhen and me? Are you jealous?"
Bai Yan did not answer the question, but instead gave Yijun a curious expression.
Aaron thought for a while and replied: "Nothing, I'm just gossiping. The water is so cold. Will my stomach hurt after drinking it?"
I believe you are a ghost, Bai Yan said with a smile: "Actually, we didn't talk much, we just discussed the game."
"game?"
Aaron was stunned, not expecting this answer at all.
"What, are you playing some kind of game? Is it an exciting R-rated game? Wait, how do you know her?"
Bai Yan looked forward with a smile, clasped his hands together, and calmly told the truth: "We met because of the game. I was a boss-level player in that game, and I took great care of Mu Zhen. As a result, we were offline two days ago. 'Face'."
"She couldn't help but come to chat with me again that day, but she didn't expect that something like that would happen."
It was all true. Aaron was stunned and felt it was outrageous, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the suspected members of Babel Tower have nothing to do with Bai Yan.
Otherwise, he would have to send him out of the city overnight.
Aaron sat for a while and suddenly said with emotion:
"Bai Yan didn't degenerate like this before. I still remember when you were a freshman, you studied better than anyone else and worked harder. There were even teachers who could get you a double degree."
Bai Yan sighed and said:
"It's boring. I'm already bored with studying."
Well, it's true, this guy got tired of studying in just one year.
For some reason, Aaron could always see a sense of emptiness and alienation in Bai Yan's eyes.
But today, I don’t feel it anymore.
Now Bai Yan looks very energetic, like a high school student who found his girlfriend for the first time... Aaron is really happy for Bai Yan's change.
He turned off the lie-detection spell he had been keeping.
The two chatted for a while, and Bai Yan said that his family was too small, so it was better to go out to eat before chatting.
However, Aaron shook his head and said he was busy.
"I have something to do and I have to leave."
A minute later, Bai Yan stood inside the railing of the corridor outside the door, watching silently as he left the apartment complex.
"Feel sorry."
If he had the choice, he wouldn't want to lie to his friends. Aaron was one of the few people in the world who was kind to him.
Obviously... I have no choice.
Bai Yan returned to the house, washed his face with cold water, and prepared to go out for breakfast.
He picked up his phone and put on his headphones to play music.
"The biting sadness piles up like snow, which will make me shed tears. If I start over, I will save everything..."
—
Aaron returned to the DEAD building, walked into the elevator, and pressed the button.
"call."
The elevator started to move and gradually reached the first, second, and third underground floors...
The Anti-Demon Bureau has a total of one to seven underground floors, and each floor covers a large area, far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
This is the symbol of Chen Hai's order and the last line of defense for the human species, which cannot be easily shaken.
All the way down to the fifth underground floor, the elevator finally stopped.
When the elevator door opened, he had changed into a black suit and a slightly fancy purple mask on his face.
Aaron walked out of the stopped elevator solemnly. Outside was a silver corridor with rather sci-fi streamlined walls, and there was a faint sad echo when his feet stepped on the black ground.
He walked into a large, empty white room that covered the area of a small stadium.
Linbian and many elite night watchmen have been waiting here for a long time.
Of course, the person they were waiting for by the forest was not Aaron.
Among the many night watchmen, a woman with white hair looked at him with a smile.
"The meeting is about to start. You're here at the right time."
The woman under the black clothes is not as beautiful as a human being, but more like a witch in chaos.
She has long pure white hair, black pupils with a faint purple light, a perfect smile, fair skin as delicate as milk, and a slim figure.
This woman is a special adviser to the Anti-Devil Bureau, and is known as the "Moon Annihilation Witch".
She has a terrifying charm to her.
Aaron turned his head, not wanting to look directly into this woman's eyes.
There were twenty-five night watchmen present, all of whom were at least metamorphosis-level experts.
Here they are waiting for an important meeting to begin.
Finally, huge phantoms emerged one after another in mid-air in the white room, covering up their true faces.
They are representatives of the major forces of order in the Sky Alliance.
Eye of the Empire, Shixian, Kings...
To put it simply, he is the so-called big shot.
"Tower of Babel... Who is behind this?"
"Who are they? What's their purpose?"
"The Children of the Star are the work of the Black Star Society. I know those bastards."
"Are you going to send someone to Chenhai?"
"We can't squeeze enough people into the Eye of the Empire. The war situation in the outer world is very tight right now, and the guards have more important things to do."
"We also have a lot of troubles, haha, everyone has the same problem."
Everyone in the Anti-Demon Bureau was just an observer of the meeting. Except for Lin Bian, who was known as the "ace" for his numerous achievements, and the director of the Anti-Demon Bureau, no one was qualified to speak.
The director is a very thin old man with white hair and narrow eyes.
Wearing a slim-fitting white suit, he stood up straight and looked very kind with a smile. He did not speak during the whole process and just listened to the ideas and arguments of the big shots.
Lin Bian, who was standing nearby, obviously didn't want to talk. He smiled jokingly and took a flat silver wine bottle and took a few sips from time to time.
"belch."
The wine burps were so loud that the big shots were speechless for a moment.
"Sorry, go ahead."
Lin Bian just smiled drunkenly, not taking the current important meeting as a big deal at all.
"That's it."
"agree."
The huge shadows faded away in mid-air one by one, and finally only the shadow of a man with double pupils remained.
His shadow had the aura to control all things without anger. Most of the night watchers present subconsciously lowered their heads slightly.
The man with double pupils looked at the night watchers below and finally concluded:
"Today's meeting ends here. We will not send help to Chen Hai for the time being. You... The Anti-Demon Bureau must increase its efforts to investigate the whole matter."
"Pay more attention to the movements of the Shepherd and Queen of the Scarlet Moon, and never ignore their power."
"We must investigate the true situation of the Tower of Babel!"
"It may be a more threatening existence than the Black Star Society!"
The old director nodded slightly, still smiling, but his tone gradually became serious: "The Anti-Demon Bureau will definitely complete its mission."
"Thoroughly investigate the Tower of Babel!"
Chapter 19: Ten consecutive card draws!
A villa on the deserted edge of the city, with a yard full of fallen leaves.
Mu Zhen's expression was calm, and he kept swinging the black cross sword held in his slender white hands, with more force each time.
The fallen leaves in the yard were blown away by the sword wind.
The old housekeeper Huo Xin, who was standing aside, looked at his young lady for a long time, but gradually no trace of her childhood could be found on her body.
He couldn't help feeling that the little girl who liked to eat omelette rice had really grown up and become a hunter who could stand on her own.
Finally, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and Mu Zhen stopped training while panting.
"call."
Today, both training in the virtual space and training in the real world are completely over.
She silently thought that she must work hard to become stronger.
In the virtual space, Mu Zhen fought with the enhanced shadow version of "Star Child" and was torn into pieces more than twenty times.
