Stabilizing Madness

Chapter 6: Evil Tower

Views:

Xu Qingran narrowed his eyes.

It was the first time I heard someone wanted to teach him how to be a good person.

Seeing him clench his fists, the system thought he was going to go crazy and attack again, so it hurriedly stopped him: "Master host! The weapons in their hands are not ordinary firearms that you have come into contact with before. They are the kind that can be used in conjunction with mental power. The speed and killing rate are much higher than you expected!"

"And those who come out to arrest E-type extremists have a mental pool above A level. You can't beat them right now!"

"Calm down, bide your time, bide your time!"

Xu Qingran asked it a question:

"Who said I wanted to resist?"

When he heard the system mention the word "evil tower" that day, he became interested. Especially when he heard that there were many so-called E-type extremists imprisoned there, he wanted to take a look even more.

Isn't the opportunity right here at your doorstep

So he responded directly: "Okay, let's go directly?"

Before closing the door, he asked, "My fever hasn't subsided yet, can I take some medicine?"

Chen Bin exhaled a puff of smoke. The cooperation of the person in front of him was unexpected.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the first mission I received after being transferred to the guard of the Evil Tower was to capture the young man in white clothes stained with blood that I met at the South 13-11 checkpoint that day.

He bit the cigarette and laughed, "No problem."

The sea of stars is vast, the universe is boundless, and the journey across galaxies is destined to be long.

After Xu Qingran was taken to the military's special aircraft, he entered a starship as big as a space station as it was inserted. The starship was made of special materials and looked very resistant and strong. It was also equipped with many fighter planes and weapon ports. But the starships in this world were also like ordinary transportation tools, relying on the cooperation of professional personnel's mental power to operate.

It took more than a day from leaving to entering the destination area.

The atmosphere in the car was quite harmonious and peaceful.

The younger guards were impatient and would take out centuries-old board game cards when they got bored, and would chat and play around. The older and more stable guards would always focus on the "criminals" they were escorting.

The person who should have been the most nervous, instead treated the narrow carriage as his own bed and slept soundly.

He was wearing an off-white cotton jacket, the light color diluted his cold edges. He looked soft and well-behaved when he was asleep, and he was injured, weak and pale, and I couldn't help but feel a little pity for him after looking at him for a few more times.

"Hey, he is a rich and spoiled young master after all, but with such a weak constitution, I don't know if he can survive being captured and taken to the evil tower."

In the other compartment of the aircraft, several guards were discussing the key targets in the compartment in a low voice.

Anyone who has read the gossip about the recent uproar in the Silver Dragon Camp will basically know the three names of Xu Qingran. The matter was so serious, and he even had the tendency to self-harm and commit suicide, so it was not surprising that he was ordered to be captured and trained in the evil tower.

What surprised them was that the legendary crazy eldest son of the Xu family looked so thin.

"I heard that his spirit pool level is also very low, right? It's like F-level... Although the soul spirit type has not yet been finalized, I don't think it can really jump directly from F to 3S or above after fully awakening."

"At most, it's just a process of criticism and education."

"That's pretty bad..."

"But Colonel Lu doesn't even like the young master, so what kind of fairy must his fiancée be?"

As soon as this casual question came to his mind, the man in the corner who was still holding two empty cards in his hand sneered.

"I've seen it, it's not that good. Comparing two people together is simply an insult." After saying that, he threw the last two cards in his hand onto the low table where the game boxes were stacked, ending the game.

"Wow, Qi Heqian, you are such a sinister guy!"

The man who was pointed at, laughed at and scolded by everyone stopped playing the game. He put his hands behind his head. The military cap hanging loosely on his head slid down as he lowered his head, covering most of his face.

Close your eyes and rest.

The main star system of the Kaian Empire, the CS Celestial system.

The Queen Star, where the Evil Tower is located, is also the main star where the royal palace is located, but the two are not on the same continent and are separated by thousands of kilometers of ocean.

Xu Qingran's first impression of the Queen Planet after landing was that it was the planet most similar to the Blue Planet in his previous life.

From the growing plants to the distribution ratio of water sources to land, the cats and dogs blending into the crowd on the road, and the birds that are very similar to sparrows and crows, everything is extremely familiar. The weeping willows along the river bank, swaying in the wind, also brought his thoughts back to his hometown.

The continent where the evil tower is located is called 'Beiming', which is in the north.

The buildings, which were nearly 100 stories high, formed a complete hollow cylinder. The open space inside the largest building was another tower with a smaller diameter than it. It was like a Russian nesting doll, with a large building surrounding a smaller hollow cylindrical building, and so on, for a total of six floors.

The innermost building was solid, and a true "tower", which seemed to have another purpose, not a prison. The outermost building was about the same size in diameter as the capital city where he lived in his previous life.

The further you go in, the more dangerous the prisoners are and the more serious the crimes they have committed.

People like Xu Qingran, who were only criticized and educated, were naturally sent to the outermost Building No. 5.

As Xu Qingran followed the guards into the building, he saw all kinds of people. Some were so scared that they could only cry, some resisted fiercely like a rebellious teenager, and some were furious and cursed. There were crazy people, and there were also pessimists who wanted to ram their heads into the solid metal wall and die.

"You look calm." The older guard walking beside him suddenly spoke.

On the way here, Xu Qingran learned that his name was Chen Bin.

Chen Bin was still an old smoker. He put out the cigarette with reluctance before entering the building and continued, "I don't even feel the slightest fear from you."

"This kind of sense of maturity is not common in someone as young as you who grew up in luxury."

Xu Qingran asked him: "Should I be afraid?"

Chen Bin laughed a few times after hearing this, and then said, "Yes, kid, you should be afraid."

"Unless you have determined and confirmed that you are not Type E later, you will have to stay here and be punished for your poor personality test results as long as you fail the tower's test."

The building of the evil tower is a very deep black, the environment inside the building is dim and simple, the smell is stuffy and damp. It is hard to imagine that you can still see a place in this era where the interior looks like an undecorated rough house.

It made him feel strangely familiar.

Several young boys and girls were sent in for criticism and education at the same time as Xu Qingran, the youngest of whom was only 12 years old. They were sent to the same elevator and went up to the high-rise building. There was a loudspeaker in the elevator, and from time to time, shrill screams could be heard from it, sounding like someone was being tortured.

In a closed space, the terror is magnified several times.

As expected, the teenagers who had already had a "hopeless" expression on their faces before they came up were so scared that they almost hugged each other, their lips turning pale. Only Xu Qingran leaned contentedly on the other side of the elevator, with one hand in his pocket, looking relaxed and even a little impatient.

It seemed like a leader coming for sightseeing or inspection.

"Brother, will we really become Type E extremists? Will we be locked up in the evil tower forever, unable to get out?" The youngest girl with long hair among them buried her face in fear in the arms of the older boy next to her, hugging him tightly with both hands.

The boy was obviously also afraid of the unknown future, but he still tried to steady his voice and gently stroked the back of her head to comfort her: "No, we will definitely be able to leave soon."

Xu Qingran withdrew his gaze from the girl, lowered his head, and began to daydream again.

The elevator quickly reached the 60th floor.

The space on this floor is much more user-friendly than the ground floor. Even the long corridor still has no end in sight, with rooms on both sides and no sunlight, which makes people feel depressed.

Guards and staff passed by in the corridor from time to time.

They were all dressed formally and had very serious expressions. Some of them were looking down at the paper documents in their hands while walking, and it was unknown what they were busy with.

They were no longer wearing the same silver and black uniforms. Some of them were wearing more elegant dark gold clothing with a golden badge on their chest that looked like a phoenix spreading its wings and howling high.

It should be the symbol of the Golden Wing Camp.

At the same time, a miniature flying ship slowly landed on the helipad on the top floor of Building 5 of the Evil Tower. Unlike ordinary aircraft, it was equipped with emergency guns and cannons, and its manufacturing material was dark gray star sand that was several times harder than diamond.

The ship's door with a golden emblem opened silently, and a man in a dark gold military jacket came down. When he took off his hat and raised his eyes to reveal a pair of beautiful eyes as deep as the sea, the surrounding scenery seemed to dim quietly.

"Admiral!" The guard stationed on the top of the tower hurried over to greet him, raised his hands to his head and saluted him, then grinned, looking quite familiar with the visitor, "Are you here to inspect the evil tower again?"

The corners of the man's lips curled up slightly, and his gentle temperament when he was not commanding on the battlefield made him look like a gentle and respectable gentleman.

"After all, it's the commander-in-chief's order. I can't refuse it." He said, walking downstairs. "It doesn't matter. I can just have a cup of tea with your warden and take a rest."

The guard who sent him to the elevator looked regretful and said, "Your Highness the eldest prince? I don't know why he always likes to send you here. Your strength and talent should be used in more important places."

Shen Tingyu glanced at the elevator button that the guard pressed for him, and the smile on his face deepened a little, but it did not reach his eyes.

The elevator arrived soon, he put his hat back on, stepped in his exquisite boots, and left a casual reply to the person outside before the door closed again.

"Maybe he wanted to remind me not to forget where I came from."
