Black Vortex Marker]

It belongs to the Destiny Space's marking method for the "out-of-control".

The so-called runaway person is similar to [Joker-Pennywise], because the "Clown Virus" it carries has strong contagion and mental assimilation, and once the life forms in the world of destiny are infected by the virus, they will turn into Jokers' 'soul containers'.

If you think of Destiny Space as a system.

The Joker is like a self-replicating virus that infects other programs indefinitely...... Once oneself dies, others become oneself.

An existence like the Joker can have a huge impact on the Destiny ecosystem, and is marked by the Black Tower.

He was forcibly imprisoned in the ground floor of the Black Tower for a long time, relying on the extradimensional turmoil that was rare for hundreds of years to find an opportunity to escape from prison.

Let a locust accidentally involved in a dimensional rift be infected with the virus, take the initiative to commit suicide and lower his level, and flee to [Median World-Dre Town] incognito.

As a result, before the employees of the Black Tower could arrest him, he was intercepted and killed by Han Dong halfway.

……

According to the clown memories obtained by Han Dong.

The Blacktower employees who crossed the world plane directly and forcibly captured it had a trait of wearing a "vortex mask".

And this characteristic happens to be similar to that of the administrator of the Holy City [Bell Tower].

The importance of "Destiny Space" cannot be overstated.

The Holy City has handed over the management of the Gate of Destiny to the Clockman, and there must be some secrets in it.

Time back【1 month ago】

Han Dong just passed the two tests of "The Eve of the Expedition", and took advantage of his free time to go to the bell tower alone.

There is no need for Han Dong to explain anything at all.

Wearing a swirl mask, deeply mechanized, and almost integrated with the bell tower, the [Clockman] took the initiative to receive Han Dong and take him to the bell tower secret room.

"Since you are participating in the [Great Expedition]...... Then your next time will be to go to the Destiny Space through the "Tainted Door".

You're here to ask about the Black Vortex, right? ”

"Yes......"

Sure enough, the Clockman already knew.

"Tell me how you got the Black Vortex Mark and how much you know about it so far."

"I 'killed' a [Runaway] in my last true fate and somehow took possession of its torso...... Thus the mark was transferred to me.

This time I came to ask the clockman what effect such a mark has on me. ”

The Clockman wasn't at all interested in how Han Dong 'occupied' his torso.

Instead, he was surprised that Han Dong was able to kill a [Runaway One] the first time he went to his true destiny.

Destiny creatures that can be marked with Black Vortex are by no means simple characters.

"How did you do that?"

On weekdays, the clocker, who basically does not have mood swings, also showed an interested expression at this moment.

"The [Runaway One] I dealt with was actually a fugitive from the Black Tower.

He has abandoned his original physical body and has been reborn in a low-level form, and his strength is not as good as before...... And, unfortunately, it offended all the inhabitants of the town, and was hunted down by all kinds of powerful ghosts.

Gather the power of the inhabitants to find out the 'secret' of this runaway one, completely cut off the way it is reborn and kill it completely. ”

"Worthy of being a student of Mr. Black and White...... Now that you know the 'Runaway', the 'Black Tower', and some of the rules, the rest of the explanation will be easier for you to understand.

First of all, you don't have to worry about the "black vortex" that stays on you.

The black vortex marks not only the body, but also the soul...... Instead of being seen as a runaway, you will be considered a "participant" in killing the runaway.

According to the rules, you should have obtained permission to go to the [Special Transit Station - Black Tower]. ”

Han Dong nodded hurriedly,

"That's right...... When I got the torso, I was prompted accordingly.

The next time I go to Destiny Space, I can choose to enter the [Black Tower] first.

Are there any additional perks or things I need to look out for? ”

"Specific privileges, when you arrive at the Black Tower, someone will naturally explain it to you, and I don't need to talk about it.

I will only tell you about the superficial nature of the Black Tower and the details that need attention. ”

"Okay."

Han Dong's brain immediately entered a kind of 'note-taking' mode...... According to the information that Han Dong currently has, it is inferred that the essence of the Black Tower must involve the essence of the destiny space.

As you go deeper into the Black Tower, it will be possible to reveal the birth of the Destiny Space.

With a wave of the clockman's hand, one of the walls of the chamber changed, and a distinctive black gear appeared in the center of the gear wall.

The choice of other gears hardly affects the black gear in the center.

Once the black gears are in operation, the whole wall of gears, large and small, will turn.

"The-Dark-Tower, in its superficial sense, can be positioned as a "regulatory world".

Its world plane is located at the intersection of all destiny spaces.

This node is the central axis of the layered world,

It is also the transit space of the ring world,

It is also the only point of convergence in the divergent world.

Just like the gears in this wall, the black gears and the symbolic Black Tower world, its existence affects all seemingly independent worlds of destiny.

Employees recognized by the Black Tower, or self-derived overseers within the Black Tower, as well as some insiders, can monitor each layer of the Destiny World in some way.

Whether it's a small world with a very low level, similar to the "Evil One" you experienced for the first time.

Or is it the large world where Captain Malone completed the "King Test" - "Hell".

It's all under their surveillance.

Nothing is completely stable...... The fate space will also lead to the birth of a certain kind of life form that can affect the 'stability of the world' due to the correction of some unstable parameters, unexpected causal concatenation, or the interference of one in a billion.

They don't do things by the rules, and they have the ability to disrupt the perfect ecosystem of a healthy world.

At this time, the Black Tower will immediately flag such existences, arrange for employees to arrest them within a short period of time, and imprison these chaotic individuals inside the Black Tower.

In addition to the above "regulatory" functions, the Black Tower is also an all-encompassing transit point.

You can make special trades, level ups, or take on special quests that aren't limited to the world of Destiny in the Black Tower.

The [Settlement Room] and the [Sphere for Exchanging Points] that you have come into contact with can all be found in the Black Tower World.

Priority will be given to participants once they have established contact with the Black Tower.

You can redeem points, settle rewards, and even get directions to the world of destiny directly in the world of the Black Tower. ”

Listening to this story, Han Dong's pupils were full of interest, and he hurriedly added:

"In other words, the 'superficial meaning of the Black Tower' is the 'Vientiane Core' that allows the stable operation of the destiny space."

"It can be understood that way......

You have obtained the authority of the Blacktower by killing a Fugitive-Runaway, which will be of great benefit to your outside development. ”

Hearing this, Han Dong immediately asked another question, "What about the inner meaning of the Black Tower?" ”

"It's up to you to find out."

Being able to get so much information, Han Dong is quite satisfied...... And the most important point has been determined, Han Dong will not be regarded as a fugitive because of the black vortex mark on the clown's torso, but will be able to obtain privileges.

Before leaving, Han Dong asked the last question in his heart:

"Lord Clocker...... Are you an employee of Blacktower? ”

"Yes."

…… Timeline regression.

Han Dong, who passed through the "Toad's Gate", was temporarily separated from the team.

The rotation of the black vortex led Han Dong to sink along the 'spatial center line', and finally fell to the center of a black square.
