Hearing this, the shadowchasers didn't have any special reaction, but they had heard the name many times, and they were just a little curious. However, the little girl Delia next to Shuer, her performance was very strange, this name made her shake all over, and her whole body trembled slightly, but she refused to show it, trying her best to hide her feelings, trying to make her face without a trace of expression, trembling body and stiff face, making the girl look particularly weird.

"The Tower of Babel, is that the passage through which the ground transmits energy to the Floating City as His Excellency the President just mentioned?" Shure touched Delia's head, and the trembling of the girl's body gradually stopped under the caress of her warm big hand, "Is there anything special?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't explain this right now, but I may not be able to tell you until the two sides are formally negotiating. The president replied without hesitation, and it was clear that it was non-negotiable, "All I can say is that there is a lot of confidential information hidden there, including most of the data and technology that was lost before the mechanical apocalypse. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Shuer said with a smirk, "If that's all, why don't you go and find out for yourself?"

"It's too dangerous for us to get into. ”

"A lot of automatons?" Shul guessed, "I think if the military and the town hall join forces and the two forces become one, it may not be impossible to storm a tower by relying on surprise tactics, unless there is a more special danger in the tower." ”

"The name of the Tower of Babel, derived from ancient myths, is the passage from the mortal world to the abode of the gods, of course, the Tower of Babel is now just borrowed from this name, because it is the energy transmitter that connects the ground to the sky. The president suddenly talked about an unrelated topic, but Shul didn't urge, just listened patiently, "The Tower of Babel is full of high concentration energy, and ordinary people stay in it for a long time, their health will be affected, and if they stay too long, they will even directly cause fatal injuries." ”

"Huh, then you still let us go?" The three of Shuer and Moriasaf quickly exchanged glances, destroying energy? No, listening to his description, it shouldn't be, it's probably just ordinary high-concentration energy, "Your Excellency, do you really have the sincerity to negotiate?"

"Well, a few people misunderstood, the energy concentration is not an unsolvable difficulty, we have equipment to protect, although the effect is not perfect, but at least it can withstand it. The chairman coughed dryly and explained with a wry smile, "The problem is, it is now a mechanical territory, countless mechanical beasts are entrenched in it, the higher you go, the higher the energy concentration, the stronger the strength of the mechanical beasts, the black market and the military have sent reconnaissance troops, but no one came back alive, what is the specific situation inside, it is still a mystery." ”

"Then how do you know that the higher you go, the stronger the mechanical beast becomes?"

"Because of my people...... Once climbed the sixth floor. The chairman hesitated for a moment, but still gave an answer, "According to normal strength, we may not even be able to break through the third layer, and the military can probably see what the fourth layer looks like, but six years ago, our black market sent a five-person army to infiltrate the sixth layer through some special way, but this is also the limit." ”

"Hmm, so you fancy that we can come and go freely in the herd of mechanical beasts, and want us to use this trait to sneak in. Shuer leaned into Mia's ear and muttered a few words, Mia shook her head, nodded again, Shuer pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you take the liberty of asking, what was your special way in the beginning?"

"I'm sorry. ”

"Well, since you want to keep it a secret, forget it. Shul didn't force it, "We ...... you ask for this."

“...... Six years ago...... That's my mom and dad. Delia finally couldn't take it anymore and stood up suddenly, glaring at the president with red eyes, and roaring, "Why are they slandered as Cychnists, why do you say that they betrayed the city?"

"Praise the name of the Lord. Shuer raised his hand and pressed it on the top of the girl's head again, and after the faint light, the girl felt that her irritable mood was relaxed, and she regained her composure, and heard Shuer's voice in her ears again, "Don't be impatient, don't be impulsive, the Lord said, all questions have answers, impulsiveness and anger are meaningless, only by patiently seeking, can we gain insight into the truth." ”

"Huh......" The girl sat down weakly again, and the tears that she had endured in front of people for a long time finally flowed.

"Your Excellency, the situation is different now, you should have seen my attitude towards Delia, even in order to ensure that she does good things for me during this time, I need to help her find the truth, heh, can you help me?"

"Well, actually, that's the shame of our black market. The president was not surprised by Delia's performance at all, and explained lightly, "Her parents, who were originally arranged in the city hall by our black market, have been helping us with things, well, yes, they haven't been reformed, but they recognize our concept." Six years ago, I summoned five absolutely loyal insiders on a mission, and Delia's parents were included. ”

"Is that the infiltration plan you just mentioned?" Shur sneered, "take the initiative to bear the stigma of being a mechanic cultist, be ostracized by everyone, and then be absorbed by the real mechanic cult, get the qualification to worship the machine, and then wait for the opportunity to send back the information detected." ”

"Well, back then, they weren't as strict as they are now, and after their identities were revealed, they were banished to the West Outer Ring District. ”

"It's just? That's a good word. Shul smiled mockingly, "It may be a word for their ideals and pursuits, but for this kid, I don't think the word 'just' is so simple. ”

"I didn't force them. The president said with a straight face, "I gave them the opportunity to choose, and it was their own decision." ”

"Heh, I've had the experience of sending dead men undercover in the past, so I can understand what you said, including that you don't stigmatize them, and I understand that it must be because doing so will involve other people, or worry that it will affect the use of similar methods in the future, well, if it were me, I would make the same choice and hide everything. Shul patted Delia on the head, "But I'll at least take care of this child, otherwise I'll have nightmares even if I sleep." Supposedly, this is a great time to buy hearts and minds, and I don't quite understand why you didn't do it. ”

"Mr. Shure, I really can't do this, even if I help her move into the inner city, the identity of the descendant of the cultist will make her always rejected by everyone around her, even if others are kind to her on the surface, they will not really accept her. The president glanced at Delia and immediately looked away, obviously feeling a little guilty, "Besides, no one knows how many cultists are still in the mechanical camp around us, and I treat her specially, but I only hurt her." ”

"Uncle. Seeing what Shuer wanted to say, the girl took his hand, "I'm fine, don't say it, really." ”

"Okay. Xiuer shook his head helplessly, this kind of thing is a difficult choice, even if it is entangled for a hundred years, it will not be able to figure out whether it is right or wrong, "This topic ends here, your request, I need to ask the local for instructions, but even if the local agrees to our participation in the investigation, I also need you to provide detailed information and explanation during the negotiation, otherwise the agreement will be invalid." ”

"No problem, then thank you Mr. Schul, about the talks, I will reply to you before six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I hope you can cooperate happily then." ”

"I hope so. ”
