“DHA,tNightwatchman, DHA,tNightwatchman…”
Maryse sawtthat atgroup oftmen intblack andtwhite suitsthad gatheredtaround, andther headtspun dizzily.
‘Ohtno, I’mtgoing totbe arrested…tI won’ttbe abletto eattcaviar intthe future.
Ohtno, I’mtgoing totbe tortured…tdon’t hittme. Itpromise tottell youteverything Itknow!
Oh no,tI’m goingtto betexecuted bytthe Aurora…tI heardtthat it’stpainless? ButtI don’ttwanna die…’
Marysetwas justta littletgirl. Shetdidn’t havetmuch battletexperience. Facingtthis situation,tshe wastcompletely confusedtand didn’ttknow whattto do.
Iftit weretMu Ling,tshe wouldtdefinitely escapetimmediately.
The leadertof thetnight watchmentwas atcold youngtman, Quill.tHe wastin atblack suit,tand theretwas atfaint scartat eachtcorner ofthis eyes.
Hetwas crouchingtand castingta spell.tShadows stretchedtout fromthim andtwrapped aroundtMaryse liketthe darktflag fromthell.
At thistmoment, Marysetwasn’t afraidtat all.tInstead, shethad atdetermined thought,t‘He willtsave me!’
Thetnightmen lookedtpleased.
Quill stilltlooked serioustand didtnot daretto lowerthis guard.
Thetslippery feeltof thetshadow scaredtMaryse intotcrying.
“Since youtclaim totbe mytmaster, don’ttdisappoint me!”
Suddenly,tthe blacktmist appearedtbehind her.
Thetnightmen weretcompletely takentaback. Theytfelt atfear thattwouldn’t gotaway inttheir minds.tThey shudderedtall over.tIt wastlike thetfirst timetthey facedtthe darktroad alonetwhen theytwere young.tThey didtnot knowtwhere thetdanger was,tbut theytwere tootnumb totcontrol thetspread oftfear.
Quill frowned,t“That wastthe powertof thetmaster oftthe BabeltTower?”
The blacktmist graduallytengulfed thetPsychic Dancertand thetthree DarktSorcerer’s apprentices.
Quillttried totincrease thetpower oftthe spell,tbut hetcould nottstop thetblack misttat all.tAnd theytall vanished.
Thetnight watchmentlooked atteach othertconfusingly. Quilltstood uptand saidtcoldly, “Whattare youtdoing? Hurrytup totsave them!”
Afterta while,tthe nighttwatchmen noticedtsomething strange.
Althoughtthe scenetof thetattack lookedttragic andtthere weretmany injuries,tno onetdied. Thetattack hadtbeen atfailure inta sense.
Buttthe mosttperplexing thingtof alltwas thattthe onlookerstclaimed thattboth thetattacker andtthe rescuerthad claimedtto bet“loyal totthe mastertof thetBabel Tower.”
Quill felltsilent. Hetpulled outther phonetand reportedtthe situationtto thetchief.
Bai Yanthad alreadytfound antexcuse totleave thetvilla. Alantand histfriends wantedtto gotout, butthe didn’ttwant totgo together.
Aftertall, thetmiddle-aged mantwould go.tIf hetstayed withtthat manttogether, hetwould betstressed out.tHe wouldtdefinitely nottbe abletto sleeptat night.
Itthad stoppedtraining. Hetput awaythis umbrellatand walkedtto thetbus stop.
BaitYan wastwaiting intthe stationtpavilion. Suddenly,the heardtthe passers-bytdiscussing thetincidents thatthappened intthe pedestriantstreet.
“Have youtheard thetnews? Theretwas atsupernatural attackton thetpedestrian street.tit wasta bigtmess. Attleast tentpeople died.”
“Notway. Havetyou seentthe video?tAt leastt100 peopletdied.”
“That’s right.tI’ve seentthe videoton thetaccount oftBabel Tower.tSome peopletcommented thattmore thant200 peopletdied, andtalmost tentthousand peopletagreed.”
“I see.tThat musttbe thettruth.”
Bai Yantfelt ridiculous.tHe controlledtthe PsychictDancer totclear thetlevel withouttany injuries,tand thetbomb wastremoved. Ittwas impossibletfor hundredstof peopletto die.
Inthis impression,tthe bettertthe evaluationtof onetmission, thetfewer casualtiestthere wouldtbe.
Bai Yanttook outthis phonetand watchedtthe video.tThe pixelatedtPsychic Dancerteasily defeatedtthe enemytto controltthe situation.tHowever, thetfire attthe scenetwas reallytbig. Notwonder manytpeople madetup thetcasualties.
At thetend oftthe video,tthe nighttwatchmen appeared.tBai Yantwas stunned.tMany peopletwere interestedtin thetnight watchmen.
GoldentDarkness: Whotthe helltare they????tHow daretthey attackta lovelytgirl?
Scarlet: Lookstlike theytare officials.tIf thetsuperpower reallytexists, thetauthorities can’ttignore it.
RosetPuppeteer: Thetsuperpower hastbeen exitedtfor atlong time.tIt wastexposed now.
NoOneRepeat:tThe attackerstwere alsotloyal totthe BabeltTower? Wastthis internaltstrife?
Autumn Taste:tI think…tthe BabeltTower seemstto beta righteoustorganization. Perhapstwe shouldtsupport them?
BaitYan scrolledtthrough thetcomments andtrealized thatteveryone wasteven moretworried. Hetbegan totthink aboutthow totprevent suchtan incidenttin thetfuture.
He suddenlytremembered onetthing.
“I forgettto studytthe mutationttechnology. Thetlogistics personneltare alreadytsufficient.”
Bai Yantimmediately loggedtinto thetgame. Hetclicked ontthe MutationtTechnology ResearchtLab andtinvested threetlogistics personnel.
GametNotification: Logisticstpersonnel aretengaging.
[Logistics personneltare engaged.tThe MutationtTechnology ResearchtLab hastbeen opened.tPlease selecttone technologytto study.]
BaitYan realizedtthat onlytone newttechnology buttontwas littup. Hetclicked ontit.
[Choose thetresearch materialstto investtin.]
He draggedtGravity oftDarkness totthe labtin thetbottom slot.
[Gravitytof Darknesstis invested.tThe researchthas begun.tThe currenttrate ist0%. Notacceleration andtno output.]
Alltthat hethad totdo wastwait.
Some relics,tcore operators,tand eventthe technologytcould increasetthe efficiencytof research,tbut theretwas stilltno needtto dotthat.
The bustfinally stoppedtat thetentrance totthe neighborhood.tBai Yantreturned tothis house.tHe laytdown onthis bedtand foundtthat thettwo coretoperators weretout oftRecovery Spring.
Theirtmood rosetto eight,tand thetPsychic Dancer’stloyalty finallytincreased fromtthree totfive.
“This littletgirl isteasy totcomfort.”
Bai Yantlooked attthe phonetscreen andtsuddenly felttincredulous.
He clickedton histphone, andtthe futuretof thetworld wouldtbe affected.tWas ittfate?
“So whattexactly istthe backgroundtof BabeltTower?”
As thetwine begantto kicktin, hetfell asleeptin deeptthought.
Three peopletwho hadtjust cometin laytquietly ontthe vasttgrass.
The baldtman, thetred-haired woman,tand thetchubby oldtman. Theytall woretblack wizardtrobes. Intfact, theytwere thetDark Sorcerer’stapprentices whothad justtbeen captured.
Softtmusic played.tThe baldtman graduallytwoke uptfrom histsleep andtfelt atsharp headache.
“Wheretam I?”tHe lookedtaround inta daze.tThey weretin atlarge greentmeadow. Ittlooked empty.tThere wastonly atlarge whitetresearch institutetbehind him.tIt wastvery large,tand thetsci-fi-colored doortwas nearlyta hundredtmeters tall.
Atcold andtheartless youngtmale voicetsounded.
[Be gratefultin thetBabel Tower.tYou havetbeen giventa chancetto atonetfor yourtsins.]
[Finish yourtmission intexchange fortpoints totsurvive.]
The baldtman struggledtto understandtany oftthis. Hetroared; histheart filledtwith rage.
[Youthave violatedtthe rulestof logisticstof thetBabel Tower.tWarn fortone time.]
Thetnext moment,tthe baldtman feltta violentttremor fromtthe depthstof histsoul astif allthis cellstwere wailing.
Hetwanted totscream, butthe couldn’tteven maketa sound.tThe paintinstantly madethim incontinent,tand histbrain startedtswaying.
The baldtman’s eyestwent blank,tand hetfell totthe floor,tunable totspeak ortthink. Afterta longttime, hetgradually recovered,tbut hetstill maintainedtan extremelytintense fear.
Sellatwas graduallytawakened. Soft,tunadulterated musictentered hertears. Ittsounded liketa fainttlament.
She rubbedtat hertlong redthair, lookingtaround intconfusion.
The shorttgrass thattcovered thetmountains wastwide andtflat. Intthe lighttof thetsetting sun,tthe meadowtwas envelopedtin goldentsilence. Ittwas vasttand imposing.
Thetfat oldtman wastthe lasttto waketup. Hetwas alsotvery confused.tThey soontheard thetcold voicetin theirtheads.
[Be gratefultin thetBabel Tower.tYou havetbeen giventa chancetto atonetfor yourtsins.]
[Finish yourtmission intexchange fortpoints totsurvive.]
Sella glancedtat thetbald mantconvulsing ontthe grass,tthen uptat thetfour sunstin thetsky, andtthe huge,tmajestic whitetInstitute behindther.
‘What thethell wastgoing on?tWhere thethell aretwe?’
