Chapter 143: Banquet Jiu's Invitation
When Wujiu was dealing with the investigation report of Xuanhui City's exploration, Bai Wu prepared and went to the third layer.
He planned to be able to get out of the tower again in two days after resting, so every time he returned to the tower, White Mist would take care of all the things that could be handled as soon as possible.
There are two things this time.
Visiting Yan Jiu and contacting friendship is secondary, mainly to get some information about the fifth-level ruler from Yan Jiu.
The second is to interrogate Lilith, find out Cain's information, and try to make Cain do a multiple-choice question.
Because he didn't promise to give the information of Yan Jiu to the Zhenyu Army, Bai Wu's word still didn't take it out.
As he made his way to the elevator on the third floor, his perception rose as his associated power increased, and he began to listen to some people's conversations.
The miners at the lowest level often talk about whether the area they are going to today is dangerous, whether there is someone from a certain gang who is looking for fault, or whether there is anyone in the investigation corps of the overseer who likes to take some bribes.
But once they got rid of their status as miners and became workers who earned 3,000 tashi a month and served the third-tier aristocracy, the topic became a big thing on the fourth and fifth floors of the tower.
For example, the last military exercise between the two armies, such as the future situation of the tower, energy distribution, when the red zone will be conquered and other high-tech topics. Mixed with some of the investigation corps is not good, or the level of this management is too low, if it were me, how would I sigh.
On the other hand, some foremen from the second floor, who earn 6,000 to 8,000 tashi a month, discuss which of the new communication tools is better, and most of them rent houses on the second floor, and then go to the third floor every morning with secondary tags.
Although it is obvious to everyone that they are different from the capitalist aristocracy, they are still in the habit of saving money and then accumulating tasi to buy certain "luxuries within their means", in order to show that they are different from other workers.
There are also some people with higher incomes, who have already made a name for themselves in the aristocratic class, and their incomes are much higher than the first two levels, but there is basically no dialogue, and they are worried.
The note given by the Eye of Prell is that most of these people are thinking about how to make more money.
There was only one exception, and that was the elevator rider, and two members of the town army.
They were proper aristocrats, but for professional reasons, the topic of discussion was the details of the military exercises between the two armies.
"Both the regimental commander and the commander of the Investigation Corps attached great importance to this incident...... But it seems that the more above-level plan is to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, and it is said that they are already trying to suppress it. ”
"Yes, it is said that although there are many wounded, only one captain of the 13th detachment of the Investigation Corps was killed. As for the truth, I said that I would give an explanation to the big guy. ”
"What to explain, the captains and the elites of each team disagree, although we have always been at odds with the investigation corps, and we don't like each other, but this time, headed by the first detachment Yuan, the matter is very big, and it is said that it must be thoroughly investigated."
"Eh, not only Team Yuan, but also the captains of several other teams, and even more so the people from the Investigation Legion. If it really gets big this time, I don't know what the upper echelons will do. ”
This conversation also confirmed Bai Mist's speculation.
Cain's death was just a change of skin, but his suicide was more or less able to make some people point the finger at the ruler.
White Mist didn't like the rulers, not because of Cain, but because of the system of the tower, and some of the things he felt outside the tower.
But right now, let alone challenging the fifty-first layer, people are afraid that the strength to challenge the fifty-first layer is far from enough.
"Cain's original intention was to provoke contradictions between the dwarf brother and the higher-ups, and although it did not succeed, it did provoke contradictions between the elites of the two armies and the rulers. Although the people of the Zhenyu Army will also be so active, I am a little surprised, it seems that Team Liu was ...... at that time It was a tragic walk. ”
If this matter continues to make trouble, Bai Wu guesses that the ruler of the fifth layer may make a move.
But it was easy to solve, and he had already figured out how to deal with it.
……
……
The third floor, the madhouse.
Bai Wu didn't waste time, and when he arrived at the madhouse, he went directly to the location of Yan Jiu.
I don't care about the role reversal of Zheng Duoxi and the nurse, or what chess game the two old men played this time.
When he knocked on the door, Yan Jiu was practicing smiling in the mirror.
She has already smiled a lot more naturally than before, because Liu Chengzi looks good when she smiles, and she will follow suit.
There was a knock on the door, and she stopped halfway through laughter, rubbed her face, and got up to open the door with her eyes wide open.
"You've come to see me."
Liu Chengzi's knock on the door was very urgent, but the knock on the door of Bai Mist was not in a hurry. So when he heard the knock on the door, Yan Jiu knew that it was the white fog coming.
The little girl still looked at Bai Wu with a calm face, and Bai Wu nodded and said:
"There's something I'd like to ask you about."
"Okay."
Yan Jiu is well-behaved like a 100% obedient tool person, although she has recently learned to say no to others.
For example, explain to your neighbors that you are not a traverser. But when she saw the white mist, she still couldn't refuse.
Bai Wu felt that he should say something else, eased the atmosphere, and thought about it...... It's too much trouble, straight to the point:
"How much do you remember about the fifth layer?"
"The fifth floor of the tower? I remember everything that happened when I was a child. ”
Yan Jiu has an unforgettable "standard", and the things he sees can be accurately drawn, which can be called a humanoid camera.
"How many rulers of the Tower are there?"
"I don't know...... I'm sorry. ”
"What's there to be sorry for, just tell me what you know."
Yan Jiu thought about some of the things she had heard when she was a child, as well as some of the scenes she had seen in the courtyard, and after sorting them out, she found paper and a pen, and drew a map of the rulers of the fifth layer that she had imagined in Bai Mist's mind.
"As a kid I had very little information about...... That's all I know. ”
There are five places in this picture.
There are a number of square cone black towers that are the same as those on the fourth floor, but the spacing is not as dense as that of the fourth floor. More often than not, some huge buildings resembling the Black Tower – manors.
The location of the Yan family is due north, and the northeast direction is the Zhong family. To the northwest is the Pang family.
Due south, facing the banquet family, it is the Xie family that Bai Wu is looking for.
Sure enough, this surname exists.
Due east, closest to the entrance of the fifth-floor elevator is the Qin family. Bai Wu speculated that this should be Qin Zong's family?
It is said that Qin Zong belonged to a certain ruler's family.
"Qin Zong doesn't seem to have eternal life, and Prell's eyes don't have immortality. In other words, these fifth-layer heirs are the same as normal people, so what allows the fifth-layer rulers to survive for seven hundred years should be some kind of external force? ”
Bai Wu squinted his eyes, Yan Jiu held his chin with both hands, and stared at him without blinking.
"By the way, do you have any information about this Xie family?"
"Know a little bit...... Because our Yan family is responsible for energy, and the Xie family is responsible for weapon manufacturing. So there are often collaborations, and I sometimes listen to them secretly. ”
"The head of the Xie family, is his name Xie Yingjie?"
"I don't know, I'm not ......"
"Don't say you're sorry." White Mist interrupted Yan Jiu's apology.
"You have to remember that I am asking you to do something, and your attitude can be polite, but you cannot be lower than me."
"Got it." Yan Jiu nodded.
"What do you know about the Xie family?"
"The core of each family is different, the core of the Xie family is weapons of mass destruction in some physical fields, but because weapons cannot be used outside the tower, it gives people the feeling that the Xie family wants to deter the tower. It's just that the Xie family has never shown this. ”
After a pause, Yan Jiu said:
These are the exact words of my father and brother, the Xie family seems to have the ability to deter several other families, but they do not show greater interest in the power struggle of the tower, which makes the Xie family's status very special. The person who came to visit my house that time also returned to this question, and my brother asked why the Xie family was obsessed with making weapons. ”
"How did the Xie family respond?"
"He said that one day, they would be able to be used outside the tower."
Bai Wu was slightly surprised in his heart, so it seems that the head of the Xie family is very likely to be Xie Yingjie......
"By the way, I have one more thing, the banquet family, the highest decision-maker, is your father?"
"Yes, right? I don't know, though. Every family seems to have some secrets, and we also have a forbidden place in our house...... It is said that you should never go, and if you go, something terrible will happen. ”
"What's terrible? Know the details? ”
Yan Jiu's eyes were a little hollow, trying to recall the details of his childhood. She has always been obedient and does not dare to go to places that are not allowed to go, but her brother has been.
"My brother used to go, but after he went...... He disappeared for a week. It was a six-story black tower with a square cone. When my brother came back a week later, he didn't remember anything that had happened, except that when he occasionally saw the black tower, he would be too frightened to speak, and his whole body would tremble for a long time. ”
Forbidden.
White Mist was thoughtful.
"It seems that this is where these old monsters who have lived for seven hundred years are hiding? This may be a semi-open secret that can be known, but not disseminated. If you break into the forbidden area, you will also face the risk of losing your memories. ”
"What are you thinking?" Yan Jiu said.
"Nothing more, thank you for the information. I plan to leave the tower tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I haven't finished dealing with the matter at hand yet. ”
Yan Jiu nodded. Liu Chengzi also said that Bai Wu was her business partner and friend, but she could hardly see people.
If it weren't for survival, everyone would be reluctant to go out of the tower, but the white fog is different, and the white fog seems to be addictive to getting out of the tower.
When Bai Wu got up, Yan Jiu suddenly remembered what Liu Chengzi said: You want to ask him out!
So she stood up suddenly, still with the same blank expression, but said very decisively:
"White Mist, I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Afraid of rejection, she added her motivation:
"Orange said, inviting friends to dinner can bring you closer!"
Bai Wu was stunned and said, "What else did she say?" ”
She also said that different boyfriends are going to be in different restaurants, and you have to take note of their tastes, and you can't make a mistake. If there are two tastes of the same, kick out the one with the worse overall conditions. ”
"Cut that out of my head."
"Oh, okay, I forgot."
Bai Wu thought it was a little funny, but Yan Jiu was very serious:
"She said to be in a romantic environment, so that after eating, you will like me more."
Bai Wu looked at Yan Jiu, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"It's a good thing that you're going to invite me to dinner. But I refuse. ”
"Why?"
"A romantic environment must be accompanied by food that everyone likes, and I have no doubt that decorating this place can create the basic requirements of the general public for romance, but food can't do that. I don't like to eat nutritious meals. ”
Yan Jiu doesn't understand it very well, and Liu Chengzi won't understand it here.
But Yin Shuanglin, Wurou and Wujiu and others may be able to understand. Most of the people of the tower have not eaten the delicacies of the pre-tower era.
They are born with nutritious meals and eat only to live, not to provide sensory enjoyment.
So Yan Jiu and Liu Chengzi don't understand, the so-called romantic dinner, in Bai Wu's view, is that everyone sits in a delicate place and eats together.
It's not romantic at all.
Yan Jiu was a little disappointed, lowered his head and thought about what to do, and at the same time asked questions:
"But...... That's the only thing you can eat. ”
There was a mixture of loss in her tone.
After Bai Wu walked to the door, he turned around and said to Yan Jiu:
"I'm only refusing food, not your invitation, I'll tell you when I'm ready for food."
The little girl raised her head at once, and her big eyes looked directly at the white mist.
"Goodbye."
White Mist turned around with a clean farewell.
……
……
After the madhouse got some information, Bai Mist didn't delay and went directly to the interrogation team of the second-layer investigation corps branch.
Yun Shu and Xue Ci and the team leader Tian Xun are all there.
They had just injected Lilith with an anesthetic just an hour earlier.
The dosage required by the white mist is high.
This dose is enough to kill the average person.
But Lilith is clearly not an ordinary person, and like Cain and even those rulers, she has a special constitution that can survive for seven hundred years.
Moreover, the associated power of the sixth order and above also allowed Lilith's body to offset the side effects of many potions.
With these in mind, the dosage used for white mist is significant.
But now he doesn't need to, he's about to interrogate Lilith himself.
"Is there any potion that can neutralize or irritate her? I want her to come to her senses. ”
After arriving at the temporary detention place of the interrogation team, Bai Wu stood outside the cell and looked at Tian Xun.
Tian Xun frowned and said:
"We did a companion power test, and this woman's companion strength is very high, and her strength is not below some detachment leaders. Are you sure you want to wake her up? Why don't you call the Kamiya team together? ”
"Don't worry, I'm measured. This kind of little thing, you don't need to trouble the captain. ”
Tian Xun was still a little worried, but after all, he followed Bai Wu's instructions and prepared the potion.
After Tian Xun left, Bai Wu said to Yun Shu again:
"Is there a needle? Triangular needles, or millimeter needles will do. It's okay to be coarse. ”
"What do you want a needle for?"
"Imitation and learning."
The Investigation Legion Branch really had this kind of prop, and Yun Shu quickly went to help Bai Wu get it.
Xue Ci was left alone to look at this white mist, and the white mist's expression at this time was a little strange:
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm looking for a feeling."
"What does it feel?"
"What it's like to be a dad."
Recalling some of his past events, Bai Mist's expression suddenly became kind and kind, and his smile made people feel like a spring breeze, with a strange affinity.
But for some reason, when Bai Mist's gaze fell on Lilith, Xue Ci felt a little infiltrated.
