Go down the White Tower floor by floor.
There are pastures.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the stable, and the cows and sheep all stuck their heads out in a neat row, gnawing at the hay in the trough.
The fluffy chicks ran past Lin Yuan's feet. The tentacles bullied a tabby cat that was stretching.
The next floor uses an entire floor of space to house wild animals separately.
Lin Yuan saw a real killer whale in a large aquarium. The big fish had its dorsal fins bent and swam very slowly past Lin Yuan.
We also saw praying mantises, small green insects that live in the vivarium.
When Lin Yuan moved closer, the mantis's bulging compound eyes turned, as if it was also observing Lin Yuan outside the glass.
The Queen of the White Tower led Lin Yuan all the way down. The two of them visited the research institute, military factory, and arsenal.
There was a layer of space that Lin Yuan had not thought of before. It actually preserved various buildings of humans in ancient times.
Walking in it is like going back in time, walking in the old world without humans.
The two were tired from walking, so they went into a place called a movie theater and sat down on the soft sofa to rest.
The screen's light brightened and the surroundings turned dark.
The two looked at each other.
"People in the past liked to come to places like this." The queen sitting next to Lin Yuan said,
"Everyone sat in the dark, killing a long time. They didn't feel sorry for wasting time. They didn't feel scared either, because there were no monsters in that era."
They sat in that dark, enclosed space and watched a strange short film together.
The scene was shocking, but Lin Yuan basically didn’t understand it.
The time separation has lasted too long. Although we are of the same race, we no longer understand the way of thinking of humans at that time.
Only Her Majesty the Queen showed a look of nostalgia.
As the light and shadow on the screen flickered, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the strange face sitting next to him changed, and in that instant it was replaced by another completely unfamiliar face.
When leaving this floor, the queen turned around and pointed to the distance for Lin Yuan to see.
"That's a Ferris wheel," she said. "In the past, there were bigger and taller things like this. They were built on the seashore, in the middle of a bustling city, like the eyes of a god, looking down upon the earth..."
Lin Yuan was deeply impressed by the Ferris wheel.
In the sea of flowers in Food City, I saw many circular buildings of different sizes. I also spent an unforgettable night with Ni Ji under a collapsed giant Ferris wheel.
I just wonder if His Majesty also crossed the sea of flowers like me in the past.
The two men came to the Guide Academy and the Sentinel Barracks.
The principal of the guide academy led the teachers and students out to greet them in their best clothes.
Everyone surrounded Lin Yuan, their eyes filled with tears and their speech was incoherent.
Countless words of praise surrounded Lin Yuan, making Lin Yuan almost feel that he was really a student who had been excellent in academic performance since childhood and was favored by teachers all the way.
"It's ridiculous that the guide wants to take a fighting lesson. You should get your flower arrangement done first."
"How can someone like that be considered a guide? She can't even pass the cooking class."
"Strong mental power, too rough, not at all what a normal guide should be like."
“That kid is a monster”
"Don't go near her"
"Stay away from her."
Now, those distant voices in my memory have disappeared. Everyone around me is praising me.
Lin Yuan even heard her former teacher say to others, "Her mental strength has been strong since she was a child, and she has grown into such a great person."
The classmates also surrounded him.
Those feelings of admiration, excitement, and wanting to be close to her were all genuine.
Everything that I once longed for in my childhood, the encouragement and recognition from my teachers, the closeness and friendship from my classmates, can now be easily obtained because of my identity.
When leaving, Lin Yuan looked back at the familiar campus, the familiar white uniforms, and behind those enthusiastic faces, she seemed to see her own small figure back then.
The little girl who never has any friends around her stands alone with her head down in a corner far away from the crowd.
The Queen and she turned to look back.
At this moment, Lin Yuan clearly saw the queen's face, and it suddenly changed for a moment.
She was suddenly replaced by another unfamiliar face, and with a sense of nostalgia, she looked at the Guide Academy that had been established for hundreds of years behind her.
"What a nostalgic place! I used to study here for many years," said the Queen.
There's something wrong with this sentence, Lin Yuan thought.
The White Tower was a building that appeared after His Majesty ascended the throne, so she should not have studied in this place.
Before Lin Yuan could think about it, the face with vivid emotions quickly disappeared.
Above the white dress was the same head wearing a white veil, which looked so rotten that it was about to fall off the neck.
In the sentinel's camp.
The young sentinels, as strong as lions, bowed their heads one by one and knelt at Lin Yuan's feet.
"Do you like it?" The Queen said to Lin Yuan, "I heard that you like being with the sentinels very much. From now on, these will be your sentinels."
"In the future, you have the final say on who you like and who you want to favor."
"Everyone will look up to you."
“Everything is in your hands.”
She said this several times: These will all be yours from now on.
Everything in the White Tower. Technology, weapons, the entire empire's wealth, and people.
Everyone bowed their heads and knelt at his feet.
Everyone admires you and wants to be close to you.
Do you like it? Lin Yuan raised his hand. There were crisscrossing lines on the skin of his palm, as if there was a small world inside.
What he controls in his hands is the power of life and death, everyone's life, this entire White Tower, and the entire human empire.
The five fingers are slightly clasped together, and the small palm seems to be able to control everything in this world.
That's power.
It has a unique fragrance and tastes absolutely delicious.
It makes people want to taste it, try it, and finally get it and hold it tightly in the palm of their hands.
A feeling like an electric current sneaked in and poked Lin Yuan's heart.
She admitted that her heart was touched.
Lin Yuan knew that he liked it. No one would not like to have such a thing.
This emotion is probably called temptation.
The final tour was over and the elevator built specifically for the Queen began to ascend.
They looked over the entire tower.
Layer upon layer of space meticulously condenses almost everything in the entire human world.
One can imagine that the people who built this tower spent countless efforts.
Now that person is standing next to him.
It was no longer possible to recognize her original appearance. She was like a piece of candle that was melting layer by layer, and her body, as sticky as mud, was slowly getting shorter.
I was completely unaware of it.
Lin Yuan quietly curled up his hand and put it behind his back.
The queen had no idea how she looked in Lin Yuan's eyes.
"It's not over yet. I'll take you to see one last place."
As she walked in front, her pace unconsciously quickened, and her voice no longer sounded calm, revealing a kind of excitement that was difficult to conceal.
Finally, I'm reaching my final destination. The broken body and dissolved skin won't matter anymore, I'll get a younger, brand new body.
"That is the empire's top secret. It is a weapon that allows us to control everything forever." The queen introduced to Lin Yuan as they walked.
Lin Yuan noticed that she used the word "we".
Before, the Queen said: I want to choose "you" as my successor.
She even held Lin Yuan's hand and said that she was old and her health was failing, so she had to hastily choose a successor.
From now on, the fate of the White Tower and mankind will be in Lin Yuan's hands.
By now, she couldn't help but say the word "we".
Although it is still unknown what she plans to do, it is obvious that she has no intention of handing over the White Tower to anyone.
She would never let go, and she had been the emperor of mankind since four hundred years ago.
Walking through the dark and narrow secret passage, Lin Yuan was led into the secret academy.
Ni Ji had described this strange academy to her.
Hidden within thick walls, with no windows and no extra exits, it is a secret place unknown to the world, hidden at the top of the White Tower.
Lin Yuan saw a group of innocent children playing.
Young children have no contact with the outside world since childhood and have never seen adults other than their teachers.
No need to study, no need to work, just eat sweet food and play carefree within this small enclosure.
As soon as I stepped in, the children's joyful laughter came like a tide.
Lin Yuan felt creepy at that moment.
The soles of my feet felt like they were stepping on a terrible piece of land.
Something cold penetrated my bone marrow and slowly seeped up.
It's very cold.
The cemetery was as eerie and cold as a graveyard. It seemed as if countless lives had died tragically here, and their strong resentment and hatred still lingered in the air.
It was so cold that Lin Yuan's brain started to stiffen.
The walls of the classroom were painted a tender pink, the ceiling was lit with bright lights, toys were rolling everywhere, and the walls were covered with smiling cartoon patterns.
The children were laughing and playing.
A childish arm suddenly stretched out and blocked Lin Yuan's sight.
The white little finger was stained with paint and pointed straight ahead.
Lin Yuan recognized this hand. It was the finger of the young child that had been pinching the queen's neck.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed somewhere.
"Look, that's where I used to paint." The voice of the young boy sounded in my ears.
Lin Yuan discovered that the queen's face beside him changed strangely again.
Transformed into the face of a young boy.
Lin Yuan looked at the queen's face, then looked in the direction that the little finger was pointing.
At the edge of the classroom, away from the noisy corner, the shadow of a little boy vaguely appeared on the bench.
He held a picture album in his hand, immersed in the world of painting with a focused look.
Fingers were stained with colorful paints and the brushes made a rustling sound.
After a moment, the image of a little girl appeared on the chair next to him.
He sat there for a long time, with his legs crossed and looking bored, only occasionally glancing towards his album.
The two children were not very sociable and sat away from the crowd, occasionally putting their heads together to look at the pictures in the picture book.
"That's me, and the one next to me is Xiaojiu."
The queen with a boy's face said in a boy's voice that what Lin Yuan saw at this moment was the child's memory.
He pointed to the empty chair and told Lin Yuan in a trance that he once sat there to paint.
A friend he liked also sat next to that seat.
A child who once drew here was devoured by this monster.
I don’t know if it’s because the queen’s spirit is facing collapse or for some other reason.
This child actually still retained a little bit of his own consciousness, and could even occasionally reveal his face without the queen knowing.
This happened several times along the way.
In that cinema, the Queen's face changed and became a beautiful face.
In the Guide Academy, the Queen's face was also replaced for a moment.
The face of another young guide turned into a face with a smile of nostalgia. Together with Lin Yuan, he looked back at the academy.
Now, when I entered here again, I suddenly turned into this boy.
The Queen herself seemed completely unaware that her face had been replaced at several moments.
I don’t know if the other consciousnesses in my body had secretly exchanged a few words with Lin Yuan.
She still held up her skirt and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yuan followed the strange monster.
For a few moments, the boy's face appeared again.
"I can see the future." The face that suddenly appeared said to Lin Yuan, "You will lose to her."
The childish face disappeared after he suddenly said this.
In the long circular corridor, a rotten monster was walking in front. Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still followed step by step.
"Leave quickly, I saw a terrible ending." The boy's face appeared again.
A tentacle gently grasped him.
"What will happen if I leave?" Lin Yuan's thoughts were transmitted to the boy through the tentacles.
“It will be…” During the exchange of thoughts, the boy’s voice seemed to become depressed, “It will be terrible, too. Many, many people will die. Many, many people.”
"I can't see a good ending." He said, "But at least if I leave now, sister, you can still live."
This is an innocent and kind child who still cares about others even in such a situation.
Such a pure soul was devoured by the monster and became the nutrient for its strength.
I can’t see a good ending either, Lin Yuan said in his heart.
The moment you open the box of truth.
The little bit of the future she glimpsed in the brilliant and boundless spiritual universe was almost always tragic and gloomy.
A brutal war will break out today and I will die here.
“Then why did you come?” The boy’s voice gradually faded away and his face disappeared.
Why come again
I have received divine revelation and have seen the tragic ending. I know I am no match for the enemy and will die here.
Don't you know what fear is
no.
Now I'm so scared that I'm about to start shaking, and my movements have become stiff.
To this day, she knows very well what fear is and how precious life is.
She wanted to live a long time.
Want to eat candy many times.
The queen came back to her senses and seemed to be wondering why one of Lin Yuan's tentacles was on her shoulder.
It doesn't matter. She no longer takes such a small matter to heart.
The most important thing is that Lin Yuan has followed her to the center of the circular academy and stepped onto the altar carved with strange patterns.
What you want can finally be obtained immediately.
This time, it was such an excellent body.
The queen turned around and reached out her hand to Lin Yuan, who was standing at the edge of the white altar.
"Come here, child. I will teach you how to control this white tower."
Lin Yuan's toes tentatively stepped on the edge of the white marble.
At that moment, several mental tentacles sank into a large pale space.
A vast expanse of white, a tower made of the bones of countless powerful and deformed creatures. That white tower.
The tentacles seeped into the gaps between the bones and fell quickly.
Something was pulling them, welcoming them, leading them to seep into the bones and into deeper places.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard the sound of the entire White Tower.
Every corner of the towering tower, every person walking by, and every running animal came into Lin Yuan's sight.
The voices of countless people talking, countless faces, and countless brains radiating spiritual power.
As long as she wanted, she felt that she could see everything, hear everything, and touch everyone's thoughts.
The feeling in this spiritual realm is wonderful, as if you have become an omniscient and omnipotent God.
Know the land and control all living things.
The tentacles only probed lightly and then retracted, but Lin Yuan discovered that the tips of several tender red tentacles had been dyed with a layer of frosty bone-white.
It doesn't hurt, and you don't even feel anything. You have no idea when you were infected.
Even after he had withdrawn, this spiritual pollution was still trying to spread slowly upwards along his skin.
As Lin Yuan penetrated into the bones, something terrifying also gripped her tightly.
With an urgent desire, he wanted to penetrate into her body and become one with her.
Or maybe swallow her whole.
Lin Yuan didn't know what would happen if the contact lasted longer.
She might indeed be able to control the entire White Tower, but what the queen didn't tell her was that the White Tower would also erode her at the same time.
Eventually she would probably become one with the entire White Tower, and with the Queen.
He has always spoken softly to her, allowed her to grow, and then provided her with huge benefits.
Finally brought her here.
Lin Yuan was sure that by then she would no longer be Lin Yuan, nor would she be a spiritually independent individual.
The queen will carry her body and become the new emperor until a hundred years later, when the body decays.
This is the truth about the so-called heir.
Over the hundreds of years, the Queen of the White Tower has changed her body countless times.
Until she herself became a complete stitched together monster, losing her original appearance and becoming a terrifying monster.
Lin Yuan silently retracted the tentacle and hid it behind his back, as if he didn't notice that the tip of the tentacle had been slightly contaminated.
"What's wrong? Come up. Come to me." The queen standing in the center of the altar waved to Lin Yuan with a smile.
The white altar was faintly lit, and the queen stood in the light, making her look like the beautiful emperor she once was.
Wearing a pure white dress, gentle, elegant, with a kind face, she stretched out her hand towards Lin Yuan.
Anyone standing here at this moment would be unable to help but admire her face and be captivated by the divinity in the holy light.
I would want to take a few more steps and get closer to that beautiful and gentle goddess.
Lin Yuan raised her toes, looking as if she was about to step on the white jade.
Before the queen could curl up the corners of her red lips, Lin Yuan's foot, which was hanging in the air, took a half step back.
Tiptoe off the edge of the altar.
Take a step back and stand still.
"I have a request, Your Majesty." Lin Yuan said.
When the queen suddenly said she wanted to make her the heir, she was obedient and did not express any objection.
When the Queen went a step further and proposed to hastily hold the ceremony of enthroning the heir, she did not resist and did not put forward any conditions.
At this final moment, they had already entered the most secret hall of the White Tower and were only one step away from stepping onto the pure white altar.
Lin Yuan suddenly raised a finger, tilted her head and said she had a small condition.
"W-what conditions?" Her Majesty the Queen stuttered in the center of the altar.
"It's nothing special," Lin Yuan smiled shyly, "I just want the ruby necklace you always wear around your neck."
She was like a shy guide who saw her beloved gem and shyly made her only request at her canonization ceremony.
At that moment the world fell silent, even the sound of children's laughter could no longer be heard.
The two men above and below the altar stared at each other.
Both of them were trying their best to find out what the other was really thinking at the moment.
Even if it can trigger a tiny bit of your thoughts, that will be fine.
But nothing was found, everyone was on guard and the passage had already been blocked.
"No, I can't give it to you." The queen finally rejected Lin Yuan's request.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Countless bloody events have occurred in this seemingly white area beneath our feet.
None of the lambs brought here dared to challenge the limits of the Queen's patience like Lin Yuan did.
In fact, she had been extremely patient with Lin Yuan.
But at this moment, although he was eager, he was unwilling to give the necklace.
This is the instinct of powerful creatures like them to sense danger.
Although I don’t know what Lin Yuan wants this ruby for.
But the Queen knew that the child had wanted to wear this necklace around her neck since a very early age.
This stone was born slowly after the White Tower was formed.
Everything created inside the White Tower is white, except for this piece of stone that was formed unconsciously, which is the same color as blood.
The Queen did not know what the gems on the necklace were for.
I just have a vague feeling that if this child gets it, something very bad might happen to me.
She resisted handing over the stone, even at such a critical moment.
"Don't be angry, come to me first."
Standing in the center of the altar, under the white veil, with bright red lips slightly parted,
"I don't want to hurt you, kid."
In front of her, Lin Yuan stood there and shook his head slightly.
This was a child that she had never understood clearly. The Queen of the White Tower had always thought so.
At this moment, she found that she actually understood this child very well.
Suddenly I knew that even though she was just standing there and shaking her head slightly, she would not come up.
She would not give in, no matter what she said.
Even if it makes me angry and I fight myself head-on.
This is just crazy. What a fool.
In the spiritual world, the strength of the opponent is clear at a glance.
The size of the spiritual body determines almost everything.
How dare she openly challenge me when she is still so young
It is obvious that his spiritual body is several times larger than hers.
Such a tender and tiny little octopus dared to stand in front of him and wave its tentacles towards him.
The little back is so straight.
How dare she
The old queen looked at the stubborn girl in front of her, and some memories from many years ago emerged in her confused mental picture.
Did I go through the same experience as this child
She had once stood up straight to fight against her brutal father, and had once mustered up the courage to go deep into the tiger's den and negotiate with the terrifying mutants.
But she was not as strong as this child back then, and was afraid when facing the monster's powerful mental pressure.
That fear remains in my heart to this day.
She still remembered how she knelt down in the sea of flowers and the starry sky, kneeling in cold sweat in front of the terrifying panda queen.
Kneel on the ground and beg her, beg her to give humans a chance to survive.
In the end, he lived to this day by accepting the enemy's charity and imitating his enemy's appearance.
I always remember the fear I felt at that time, and therefore I have always had a strong desire to gain powerful strength.
Now, she is already a very powerful person. Even more powerful than the spirit body of the Queen of Food Pang, isn't she
Why did this young girl dare to stand in front of him and oppose him like this
This is not the first time I have encountered this. I have recently encountered several such arrogant lunatics.
The little kid holding the paintbrush, that tiny thing, dared to struggle desperately in his mouth.
But in order to allow one of his friends to escape.
At that time, the sharp spiritual body exploded unexpectedly and tore his old body apart.
There is also a mutant golden tree.
She hadn't even thought that a mutant would resist her like this. Didn't these guys always care little about being eaten by other species, or eating other species
Before the golden tree collapsed, the reckless and crazy resistance made the queen's mental body, which was on the verge of collapse, even worse.
Even if she got a piece of the golden tree's trunk and gained that powerful repair and recovery ability, she could only barely glue together her body that was already riddled with holes.
So much so that she had to rush and make Lin Yuan her heir despite all the flaws.
So much so that she even hesitated a little when faced with Lin Yuan's unreasonable request.
Consider whether to continue persuading them or just suppress them with force.
In the past, when she was powerful, she had never encountered such troubles.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, the ground beneath their feet shook and a dull sound was heard.
After the first sound, there was silence for a moment, and then unprecedented intense sounds came in a dense stream.
It was probably explosions, gunshots, and countless people shouting.
The location here is too high, and there are only faint sounds, which are vague and not very clear.
Just because so many noises can be heard at such a high position, the nature of the incident must have seriously impacted the White Tower.
The ground shook again.
The screen of the Queen's personal terminal lit up, and the prompt sounds of countless messages began to flash across the screen rapidly.
She didn't look down. She knew everything in the White Tower without reading any news.
At this moment, in the lower level of the White Tower, the revolutionary army operating in the dark formally declared war on the Empire and launched an unprecedented tower-rushing operation.
Cannon fire and gunfire rang out one after another. The invaders and the Royal Guards guarding the White Tower had already engaged in combat.
A group of ants dared to attack the White Tower.
Under normal circumstances, such ants would be nothing to the queen of the empire.
It happened just now, as if it was planned, at such a critical moment, those rebels who were usually disdainful rushed in.
The queen frowned and decided to leave the rebels alone for now and focus on the forest garden in front of her.
The White Tower was destroyed, but it could still be repaired. She could never find another such excellent heir, nor could she wait for another one.
The personal terminal on Lin Yuan's wrist also kept lighting up.
She didn't even look down, but just gently stroked the screen with her fingers behind her back, as if to comfort the person on the far end.
"Let's do it the same as last time." The queen took off the ruby necklace from her neck and put it on her fingertips.
"If you can grab it, this necklace will be given to you."
A blood-red gem dangles from a pale finger.
She stood in the middle of the altar. If Lin Yuan wanted to grab the necklace, she would have to step on the white stone carved with strange runes.
In the end, the two of them took off the veil of their affection.
A dark and powerful mental pressure rolled down from the steps under the queen's feet.
The sky was filled with blackness, and in the mud floated human eyes, arms, insect claws, and beast claws...
Countless emotions of hatred and pain swept over him along with the thick darkness, and amidst them were also sharp whistles, sad cries, and curses.
That scene is too horrifying.
Fear is the most primitive emotion of human beings.
No one faced with such a dark scene would not be overwhelmed by a strong sense of fear.
Facing the rolling black fog, Lin Yuan stretched out countless soft tentacles from under her skirt.
The tentacles stepped on the thick black smoke and landed on the terrible stone with a snap.
The next moment the girl leaped up and kicked in the air.
As he turned around, his long tentacles swung like whips towards the necklace in the queen's hand.
The queen's black smoke gathered and disappeared like a ghost. The figure holding the necklace avoided Lin Yuan's sneak attack and appeared at the other end of the altar.
After the attack failed, Lin Yuan did not hesitate to fight and flew far away from the altar area, no longer coming into contact with the stone that polluted the spirit body.
Even so, by the time it landed, the surface of one tentacle was already mostly contaminated.
It just touched the altar lightly, and the soft red skin turned into a porcelain white like bone.
The paleness spread upwards along the healthy skin like an infectious disease.
Lin Yuan flipped his hand, and the bracelet on his wrist swam like a nimble little fish and turned into a small sharp dagger.
She grasped the black and white dagger in her backhand.
The knife flashed.
A piece of white tentacle was cut off and fell to the ground, and red blood splattered on Lin Yuan's face.
It is very painful to cut off one's spiritual body.
But Lin Yuan raised his knife and slashed it without even a frown. The broken limb on the ground twisted back and forth, but Lin Yuan didn't even look at it.
She even licked the blood splattered on her face with her tongue and laughed.
"I want that." Her face was stained with blood, and she smiled and said, "If you don't even want such a small thing, then what you said about heir, throne, and empire, are they all lies to me?"
She spoke in a coquettish tone, and looked like a real human girl.
But she is clearly the child of a mutant and a human.
The queen, who was unable to read Lin Yuan's thoughts, was a little unsure of what she was really thinking.
After all, over the past few hundred years, Her Majesty the Queen has become accustomed to relying on spiritual bodies and only uses spiritual bodies to read people's true attitudes.
Maybe she might still listen to me
Her tone seemed to be very close to me. She was still smiling at me.
Should I hold back a little and be gentle with her, and wait until she gives up, and then try to persuade her
After all, violent resistance will always make things troublesome.
The undecided Queen was still considering whether to hold back on Lin Yuan, but she saw Lin Yuan smiling and saying to her, "It's round two, Your Majesty."
The girl rushed into the altar once again, into the altar where even a little bit of contact would contaminate her body.
Rushing towards that pale hell that would swallow you whole if you weren't careful.
Her tentacles broke off one by one, and blood stained her pure white guide skirt.
The prophecy said that she would be covered in blood.
According to the prophecy, he would most likely be defeated.
So what? Let her bleed to pieces and let her fight to the end.
The torrent of spiritual power gathered into the magical and vast World Tree. Lin Yuan took a peek at that time.
There are hundreds of paths that reveal the future.
Perhaps all 999 worlds are black, just like what the child who was drawing said, and countless people will die.
The fate of mankind will head towards the darkest abyss.
But in the countless dark futures, there is always a thin ray of light, a way to survive, and a little vitality.
Lin Yuan did not have a very specific concept in his mind for such a vast term as "the fate of all mankind".
She only knew specific people.
Ni Ji, Yuan Yuan, Yun Luo, Rachel, Xiao Niao, Nicole... and many other friends, they are all human beings.
It is something very important to you, like a treasure, something that cannot be thrown away.
She was willing to use her blood and life to fight for that almost invisible path of survival.
She didn't come here to seek death, but to seek life from death.
There is only one viable path among thousands.
So they are more arrogant and brave than ever before.
More fearless than anyone else.
A bright full moon rose from the thick darkness, and its clear light broke through the thick darkness on the earth, creating a clear and bright space, guarding the Kraken standing in the black waves.
Like an ark sailing in the Black Sea, under the protection of the moonlight, it confronts the huge monster in the darkness alone.
The battle was carried out silently, without smoke and artillery, without shouting and roaring.
But it is no less than those fierce fights with gunfire, bullets, dragon blood and dark yellow.
The base of the White Tower.
A huge explosion blasted the wall apart. Smoke and dust settled, and the vision became dim.
A few sparse pulses of light swept across the enemy's defense line, and then there was no more movement.
The Royal Guards guarding this level collapsed and retreated to a higher level.
The warriors who invaded the White Tower looked at each other. They all saw one word in each other's eyes - that's it
The Royal Guards were powerful and majestic, and difficult to provoke, which was once an inherent impression in the minds of all border warriors.
Compared to the meager combat equipment in the bitter cold and barren lands, the Royal Guard's sentinels are always equipped with high-tech weapons confiscated from polluted areas everywhere.
It should have been the most powerful force in the empire and the last bastion of mankind.
However, I didn't expect that the fighting here was so commonplace, and those well-dressed enemies were defeated at the first touch.
With sufficient invading firepower, the Royal Guards guarding the White Tower could not withstand a few real tactical charges, and they did not even organize many effective fortifications.
"That's only natural. There are only a few people who have actually been to the battlefield."
Du Yuanyuan symbolically fired a few feints into the air and waved her hand. She led her own team to retreat first, turning a deaf ear to the commander's angry roar in her personal terminal.
Hundreds of years of peace.
Unlimited security, unlimited resource concentration.
The safer it is inside the White Tower, the fewer people are willing to risk their lives by going to the contaminated area.
In the entire Royal Guard, there are only a few hundred people with rich practical experience.
Among them, there are some people like Du Yuanyuan, who have long hated the corruption of the empire and secretly joined the underground organization.
The young soldiers, who were composed of sons of nobles, were faced with such a large-scale and organized sudden attack.
How could we not retreat massively in the face of this group of powerful warriors trained from monsters from the contaminated area
The gate of the White Tower, which had not experienced wind and rain for hundreds of years, was blasted open by angry artillery fire in front of the world on this day.
The pent-up anger from years of injustice and slavery was ignited.
Kyoto was in complete chaos that day.
Countless warriors lurking in Kyoto emerged from the shanty towns where civilians lived, from the basements of construction factories, and even from the Empire's own royal airships.
They were all wearing black scarves and had murderous eyes. They were running through the streets and alleys with large weapons in their hands and on their shoulders.
Torrents of warriors converged on the white tower that stood in the center of the empire.
The sound of fierce artillery fire lasted for a long time and continuously.
Even in the slums far away from the White Tower, the terrible sound could be heard.
It was as if it was going to blow the sky apart and make the whole world collapse.
In the dilapidated shack, several young children were shivering in their mother's arms.
"How terrible, Mom." The youngest child looked up. "Are they bad guys? What are they going to do to the White Tower?"
"It's okay, hide well." The mother reached out and pulled him under the bed.
She whispered quietly in her heart, "Maybe it's not a bad thing."
Two years ago, her husband was beaten to death by officials because he could not pay the heavy housing tax.
Last year, my eldest son, who had just reached adulthood, ventured to a polluted area in order to earn a few more dollars, and he never came back.
I can’t afford to pay the taxes this year.
Who cares what they blow up? It doesn’t matter if the white tower collapses, or if all the officials are killed in the explosion. The woman cursed in her heart.
Even though she was just like everyone else on a daily basis, often kneeling on the ground to express her gratitude to the White Tower.
In fact she wasn't thankful for the tower at all.
It doesn't matter if we are destroyed. We will starve to death anyway, so let's just die together.
Amid the rumbling of artillery fire, the mother hiding under the bed hugged her children at home.
Of course, it would be better if only the officials were killed in the explosion and no one remembered to collect taxes this year.
She prayed silently in her heart.
Inside the White Tower, Ji Xuan's steady voice rang through the headphones of all the revolutionary soldiers.
"Be alert, the real battle has just begun. Everyone must remember that the most terrifying thing about the White Tower is not the power of the Royal Guard."
The most terrifying thing about the White Tower is not the power of the Royal Guard.
Ni Ji understood this sentence better than Ji Xuan.
He had been chased by that power, and the monster had almost destroyed him and stimulated his combination fever with just one look from above.
It's just that the battle has been going on for a long time. That power has not yet been activated.
Ni Ji installed an explosive under the isolation door of the emergency passage and retreated to a hiding point.
He lowered his head and glanced at the personal terminal on his wrist again.
The inquiry message had been sent out for a long time, but there had been no movement on Lin Yuan’s profile picture.
The little pink octopus floated quietly on the screen, its little tentacles curled under its body, its round black eyes staring at him silently.
He didn't know why, but this time he was particularly anxious. Even on the battlefield, he was still frightened from time to time.
Lin Yuan did not reply to the message. She could not even send an emoji to let me know that she was safe.
Ni Ji leaned against the wall of the hiding place and pressed the detonation button in his hand. A loud bang was heard behind him.
The rubble stirred up by the shock wave blew across his cheeks and thick dust covered his entire body.
He rushed to the front line, intending to use his identity to destroy all major fortifications inside the White Tower that defended against foreign invasion.
After the explosion, the passage from the bottom to the top of the White Tower was completely opened by him.
No one could lower the barrier that cost more than a thousand gold coins to stop the revolutionary soldiers from charging upward.
The dust in the air dissipated slightly, and the lights on the roof were destroyed by the shock wave of the explosion, so the light here was very dim.
In the dim vision, Ni Ji seemed to see the small pink octopus jumping faintly under the thick dust.
The sentry quickly wiped the screen with his fingers and tapped on the jumping octopus avatar.
A virtual pop-up window appears before your eyes.
Lin Yuan's face appeared on the screen.
I couldn't see the rest of her body, I only knew that her face was extremely pale and there were several streaks of red blood on it.
She didn't explain anything to herself. She just leaned against a gray stone wall and smiled at herself, looking a little weak.
"Hi, how are things going over there?" Lin Yuan asked in a very relaxed tone.
"I'm fine," Ni Ji said immediately, quickly brushing off the dust on his head and face. "Where are you? I'll come find you."
He stared at Lin Yuan on the screen, trying to figure out where Lin Yuan was.
The light behind Lin Yuan was dimmer than here, and the roof looked very high, without any iconic patterns.
Ni Ji saw a small piece of broken pink brick wall in the corner of the video.
It's pink and looks like something for toddlers.
She was in an open field with a high dome with no pattern and pink walls.
Ni Ji suddenly remembered the secret academy hidden in the White Tower, where he had sneaked into once. There was a wall like this there.
Lin Yuan is in that place where guides are raised in secret, in that strange altar with a high roof!
On the screen, some densely packed things rose up near Lin Yuan, twisting and slowly approaching her.
But she looked like she had no strength left.
"Hold on, I'll be there soon."
Ni Ji's voice came through the personal terminal.
He sounded extremely calm and reliable, like he was an omnipotent warrior who could travel to his side in a matter of seconds.
No one could get deep here in such a short time. He was probably too late.
Lin Yuan opened his hands and showed Ni Ji on the other side of the screen the ruby in his palm.
He held the blood-red gem in his hand, moved it in front of the camera and shook it proudly.
She smiled happily and showed off her proud trophy to her boyfriend.
But in the place where the camera couldn't reach, there were pale tentacles that had been cut off all over the ground.
The red blood slowly spread on the ground.
Lin Yuan leaned against the cold stone wall. He felt that he had no strength left and was barely able to maintain his sitting position.
She showed off the red gem in one hand and with the other she took out a small square box she carried with her.
The four sides of the box were shining with an incomparably gorgeous luster, except for an empty depression at the top of the lid, as if a gem was missing there.
The moment Lin Yuan took out the box.
The black fog that was trying to gather around became thicker, and countless strange voices shouted in the black fog.
There are women's screams, men's roars, and sometimes children's wailing.
In short, it doesn't sound like the voice of a different human being.
Noisy, chaotic, wordless screams rose and fell in the thick darkness.
"What it is!"
"Put it down, it feels horrible!"
"Is it the Box of Truth?"
"It turns out that your mother left something to you."
"I said, I've always said she should be killed!"
"Eat you, asshole. Eat you right now."
"Put it down! Lin Yuan, put it down, ah! No!"
Lin Yuan ignored the sharp voices and accurately embedded the gem in his hand into the top of the Box of Truth.
Inserted into the last groove of the Box of Truth.
