Chapter 172: The Tower of Babel
"And they said, Come, let us build a city and a tower, the top of which reaches up to heaven, that our name may be proclaimed, that we may not be scattered upon all the face of the earth. β
"The Lord has come to see the cities and towers that the world has built. βGenesis, chapter 11

Bai Xiuxiu calmed a few words to Gao Yuemei, who was a little emotionally unstable, and felt the Uroboros on her wrist vibrate twice, so she said, "Xiaomei, it's not too early, you should hurry back to your room and rest!"
Gao Yuemei stood up and didn't leave immediately, and asked in a low voice with a tangled expression, "Sister-in-law, do you know anything about Lin Zhinuo and his sect?"
Bai Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "This matter is very complicated, I will explain it to you slowly in the future....."
Gao Yuemei saw that Bai Xiuxiu didn't seem to want to say more about this matter at this moment, so she could only leave, walked to the door and looked back at Bai Xiuxiu and said very firmly: "Sister-in-law, did he take something very important from you?" If so, I will pay you for it, don't blame him." β
Bai Xiuxiu stood up from the bed, the translucent lace nightdress hung down gently, she sighed lightly, walked to the door and grabbed Gao Yuemei's arm with both hands, and said with a serious expression: "Xiaomei, let me tell you, what you see is a kind of illusion, that is not what Lin Zhinuo really looks like, under the illusory shell may be a greasy middle-aged man, or maybe a fat man with a big belly, so don't be deceived by his appearance....."
Gao Yuemei was a little shocked when she heard Bai Xiuxiu's words, her face turned pale, she had always admired her sister-in-law, and she firmly believed in her words, but at this moment Lin Zhinuo's cold and silent eyes flashed in her mind, and she muttered: "Then it's possible that he is a normal young man, right?"
Bai Xiuxiu didn't answer Gao Yuemei's question directly, but said: "Xiaomei, don't be an ignorant stupid girl, I think your parents also take care of you too much, you have to take care of everything, what clothes you wear, what major you study, who you are friends with, and even you have to be in love, which makes you so easy to be deceived." β
"Sister-in-law, I believe that Lin Zhinuo must have a reason. Gao Yuemei instantly remembered Lin Zhinuo's lonely expression: I like the dawn when it gradually whitens, I like the steaming milk, I like the fragrance of the trees, and I like to slowly turn the beautiful books to the end page......
She decided that Lin Zhinuo would not be a liar, let alone a bad person.
Bai Xiuxiu has a headache and doesn't know how to persuade Gao Yuemei, for a person who is in love, blindness doubles her courage, and also blinds her and makes her unable to see danger.
But thinking that Lin Zhinuo's mobile phone will not be used anymore, and he will definitely not contact Gao Yuemei again, and after a long time, Gao Yuemei will naturally forget Lin Zhinuo, so Bai Xiuxiu said lightly: "Go back to sleep! Don't think nonsense, get up tomorrow and go shopping for a while, watch a movie, and drink two glasses of wine, everything will be fine." β
Gao Yuemei nodded, she also wanted to hurry back to the room to call Lin Zhinuo, so she turned around and left Bai Xiuxiu's bedroom.
Bai Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, closed the heavy metal door, locked it casually, and then opened the interface of Urobolos, and at this moment she had received several messages, all of which asked when she would be online.
Bai Xiuxiu pressed a few times in the color projection in the void, sent a sentence "Coming", and after setting the teleportation coordinates, he activated the carrier again.
In fact, Bai Xiuxiu was not without a chance to resist just now, she could forcibly break free of the handcuffs, manually activate the mechanism on the bed, and activate her carrier while her body fell into the safe passage.
It's just that Lin Zhinuo's choice of timing is very coincidental, it happens to be a critical period for her to rise from 32 to level 33 to obtain the qualification of the Chosen One, if she didn't really want to complete the promotion test "Tower of Babel" today, and the number of times she activated the carrier was only one in 24 hours, plus Lin Zhinuo didn't have the intention of killing her, maybe she would give Lin Zhinuo, a rookie, a look at what a real "gladiator" is......
Long-distance teleportation not only requires setting up a teleportation point in advance, but also needs to pay bitcoins, and the waiting time is also relatively long, so Bai Xiuxiu lies in the middle of a circle of colored pillars of light, waiting for the teleportation to be completed.
Bai Xiuxiu glanced at the progress bar, it would take more than four minutes, thinking of the Lin Zhinuo just now, although it was somewhat lucky to be able to take three thousand bitcoins from himself, but there was no doubt that he was indeed smart enough, and his restraint was super strong, if he hadn't woken up and found that he was covered with a quilt, Bai Xiuxiu would not let Lin Zhinuo go anyway.
Bai Xiuxiu guessed that Lin Zhinuo's body was hidden in Changya No. 1 Middle School, and it was very likely that she was still a student, of course, it was not ruled out that the other party deliberately led her thinking in this direction, but now was not the time for Bai Xiuxiu to worry about this matter, she had to climb to the top of the Tower of Babel in the remaining five hours.
As the progress bar entered the thirty seconds to the bottom, Bai Xiuxiu's consciousness began to shift to the sound of the carrier, and she soon returned to her battlefield, the Tower of Babel (Note 1).
Bai Xiuxiu opened her eyes, the dark yellow pyramid-like tower stood majestically in front of her, but this tower was much taller and larger than the pyramids of Egypt, if the two were compared together, the pyramids of Egypt were just a small building, and the one in front of her was like a mountain as straight as the clouds.
Looking up, you can see a huge eye on the top of the mountain, surrounded by triangles and thousands of rays of light, and suddenly it is the eye of all-seeing (Note 2).
At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu is on a huge stone paved square, in the center of the square stands a stone angel statue dozens of meters high, he is holding an olive wreath in one hand, a holy sword in the other, and not far behind him is a pyramid with a base comparable to the size of a city.
A towering stone mountain made of truck-sized stones, each layer has an arch of black holes, although the city built on the mountain is magnificent, but there is no sense of freedom and life at all, the hard and huge volume is constantly expanding in the human field of vision, at a glance, there is a taste of alienation from the world, although it is magnificent, but it is far away from the fireworks of the world, not like the place where life inhabits......
Bai Xiuxiu walked through the square at lightning speed, straight to the Tower of Babel, although the world generally believes that the Tower of Babel is a cylindrical tower, but in fact the Tower of Babel is like the Tower of Babel in front of Bai Xiuxiu, it is pyramid-shaped.
You must know that the Tower of Babel was built in imitation of the Holy Mountain, so it should be more like a mountain than a tower.
Perhaps, the pyramid-like temples scattered all over the world, such as Egypt, Africa, and South America, were built in imitation of sacred mountains.
The Tower of Babel was surrounded by dense clouds and mist, and there was no sun behind it, it was a whole low black cloud, so that the whole world was gray and oppressive, but in this boundless darkness, Bai Xiuxiu, who was rushing forward in the square, exuded a cold and hard luster, like a lightning bolt that pierced through the clouds.
A metallic lightning bolt......
