Chapter 393
"Strange... Isn\'t it a body?"
She fell into deep thought.
Confused, Kaluoer shook her head and returned to the bedroom at the back.
She saw Huang Feng\'s wife sleeping soundly on the bed, with a blissful smile on her face.
For some reason, in this very moment, a very special emotion welled up in Kaluoer\'s heart.
"I\'m sorry..."
Kaluoer didn\'t understand why she was apologizing, why she had to apologize.
She immediately discovered something.The current self had become completely different from before.
The master had told her... what exactly was the true meaning of being a "person".
Although Kaluoer was not human, but a half-beast person, in daily interactions, it was common to refer to oneself as "人" (person) in pronouns.
"When you can find joy within yourself, you are truly alive."
"When you understand the emotions of others, you regain your human qualities."
The new Babel Tower meeting.
People from the same and different worlds gathered together.
In a massive palace made entirely of sparkling crystals, countless lifelike musicians supported by crystal structures stood silently at the edge of the palace, each holding a different musical instrument.
The members of the Babel Tower gathered here, taking turns to report to the Savior seated upon the Crystal Throne.
"On the Continent of Zeuo, the Decaying Disaster that once plagued the land is gradually being resolved. The heavy snow, which had once sealed the mountains, is being cleared by us time and time again, although our progress is still slow."
The blonde-haired female knight knelt down on one knee, telling her tale of World.
Aurora lowered her noble head.
At this very moment, she was filled with unwavering loyalty towards the great Savior of Babel Tower.
It was the Savior who gave her hope, saving World she had dreamed of rescuing for many years.
It was the power of the Savior that allowed her to luxuriously "fantasize" about the future in which the Zeuo people resist. Otherwise, facing the mighty Tylors, the only emotion she could have in her heart would be despair.
Everything was a gift from the Savior.
As the saint of the Heavenly God Church, Aurora had made a vow in her childhood to dedicate everything to the Light God.
But she already knew that her present self had to partially betray her past vows.
From now on, her body and soul should belong entirely to the Savior of the Babel Tower.
Apart from this, her humble self had no other way to repay Him.
He is a deity who hopes to save countless worlds.
She felt so tiny.
Perhaps, the idea of repaying Him with all one\'s possessions was merely a wishful thinking.
Just like an ant pledging to serve humanity faithfully, it would probably receive only gentle mockery.
In her heart, Aurora believed that the great Light God was a forgiving deity... She was certain that He would forgive and accept her choices of today.
"The Savior of Babel Tower, you have saved my world."
In front of everyone, the blonde lady knight took a deep breath, her face filled with solemnity, and made her loyal vow.
"I, Aurora, will lead the Knights of the Sacred Heart to forever be loyal to you."
"From now on, we will be your sharp sword, protecting you like a sturdy shield."
"Whether your enemies are humans, monsters, evil gods, or outsiders from other worlds, we are willing to help you by completely eliminating any harm towards you."
Bai Yan listened quietly to the words of the other person, and his response came naturally without hesitation.
[I accept your loyalty.]
Bai Yan didn\'t need to look to know that Aurora had become the second core member in Babel Tower, whose loyalty had reached level nine.
From that day forward, Aurora would become the knight of the Savior of Babel Tower.
Everyone in Babel Tower watched this scene, and they all remained silent, understanding each other without a word, but each with their own emotions.
Mu Ling felt very happy in her heart because this meant that from now on, the great Savior would acquire a new blade.
Babel Tower\'s great endeavor would also take a step forward.
Perhaps it was just a small step, but for oneself, it held significant meaning.
As for Maryse, the Scarlet Moon, and Old Mike... at this moment, they turned into the trio of rolled-up eyes, feeling very uncomfortable with this loyal storyline.
That Savior, haha...
Of course, Maryse and the Scarlet Moon just have a little bit of internal criticism.
They didn\'t forget about the things they were forcibly brought into Babel Tower and controlled by the Savior.
But in reality, both of them have actually become quite aligned with the Savior\'s ideology and the collective of Babel Tower... If they were given the freedom to choose to leave now, there is no doubt that both of them would choose to stay in Babel Tower.
Old Mike, on the other hand, really doesn\'t want to stay in Babel Tower nor pledge allegiance to some suddenly emerged Savior.
He only wanted to retire.
Neither the powerful force nor the potential to save World could pique his interest.
"The dog of the Rock Morgan group has already sniffed out some traces about the Omnic... perhaps because of the secret outing of number thirteen."
"They have taken care of their first group of dogs, but later... the Rock Morgan group will never easily give up. I know them very well."
Next, Amy in the wheelchair also approached. She began to share her experiences in the Ring City.
The Rock Morgan group had a clear intention.
They would never let go, but instead, they would continue to pursue relentlessly.
"Thirteen... I have punished her... From now on, our actions will be even more careful, and we will definitely not let Rock Morgan discover us... I promise you."
"Please, don\'t punish Number Thirteen anymore."
[I have now discovered.]
Bai Yan didn\'t say much. On one hand, he wanted to maintain the mystery of being the Savior, and on the other hand, he trusted that Amy could handle everything just fine.
But Amy had many thoughts in her heart.
Once she reached the "Crown" level, her actual fighting ability didn\'t directly increase much. Instead, she gained the power to create races in the virtual world.
She had already created an Omnic that could potentially overturn World. Now, she wondered, would it be a good idea to create new races?
Amy had initially wanted to inquire about this to the Savior of Babel Tower, but she quickly realized.
Perhaps repeatedly questioning things about her "peers" might not be the best idea.
For the mighty Savior of Babel Tower, this was not a significant matter.
Since they had already created an Omnic, it seemed perfectly fine to create a new race as well.
"There are only a few dozen days left until the next Doomsday Crisis will arrive..."
Amy took a deep breath. In order for Babel Tower to achieve its ambitious goals, and for the innocent ones in World, she knew she had to possess more power.
The next one stepping forward, was none other than the "Final Gun" itself.
Old Mike felt a mix of emotions Inside, he kept all his dissatisfaction towards the Savior and his discomfort with Babel Tower, hidden deep within his heart.
"I have finished my investigation and now I plan to take action against the Siskin... But, in the end, I am only one person and I cannot protect my family at the same time..."
He took a deep breath and continued, "I hope that Babel Tower will protect my family."
Actually, Old Mike didn\'t need to say these words.
He knew very well that even if he didn\'t say or mention anything, Babel Tower would most likely continue to protect his family, just like it had done before.
However, too much concern can lead to confusion.
Old Mike still wanted to emphasize, hoping that the safety of his family would go from ninety-nine to one hundred, fearing that any slight oversight would cause a great tragedy.
[I have come to understand]
Bai Yan replied to Old Mike with the same words.
He would certainly protect the family and friends of all the Core Operators.
If the boss keeps failing to safeguard the interests of his subordinates, any organization will eventually disintegrate, with members drifting apart.
This is the foundation of all foundations.
The old man took a long breath, nodded, and turned away.
According to the investigation during this period, Old Mike had come to the realization that the Savior of Babel Tower was a person with godlike qualities, and the promises he made would never fail.
Especially, it was just a small matter.
Hidden Azure, Kaluoer, also walked up.
"Dear Savior, I have found some clues about what happened earlier..."
She gently bowed, her expression still as emotionless as ever, and slowly recounted what she had seen last night.
It was a mysterious and creepy night.
Everyone listened intently, and then you looked at me, and I glanced at you.
What is that dark, sticky liquid?
None of the people present had ever heard of it, and Bai Yan had never known about the existence of this thing.
On the "face" of the slime, there appeared a puzzled expression, "(•_•)?"
Alan\'s face turned grave and angry.
The Night Watchers of the Demon Hunt General Agency were numerous. Having recently arrived, he naturally didn\'t know Huang Feng.
But both of them were Night Watchers, so naturally they felt a kinship with each other and understood each other\'s struggles.
"Drat!"
After a while, Bai Yan conveyed the will of the "Savior".
["You didn\'thing wrong," she reassured gently.]
Kaluoer remained silent, her heart tangled, knowing that the Savior had picked up on her inner turmoil.
She had been pondering whether it was right for her to banish the fake "Huang Feng"... That woman must be in great pain.
"Is there any hope left...?"
After Kaluoer finished recounting everything, she didn\'t simply turn around and step back as Bai Yan had expected. Instead, she asked a question that she had never asked before.
She really wanted to know if there was any hope left for the Huang Feng who had been possessed.
Perhaps, even if he had already become a shell, there still remained a possibility of surviving?
If it were in the past, this kind of question would have been meaningless to her.
But now, Kaluoer has changed.
Bai Yan also realized this... but soon a problem arose. He really didn\'t know if there was a way to save him!
What is that black sticky substance and what is going on with this condition, Bai Yan really had no idea.
But as the mighty Savior of the Babel Tower, he certainly couldn\'t simply say, "I don\'t know!"
Hmm, an answer with a bit of emotional intelligence is needed.
[In the long river of time, countless coincidences can turn into inevitabilities, and all outcomes are possible.]
Kaluoer stayed silent.
She understood!
"I understand... Thank you, Respected Savior."
Bai Yan didn\'t know what Kaluoer had actually understood, but since that was the case, they had passed this challenge.
"Um... about the Demon Hunt General Agency?"
Scarlet Moon seemed lost in thought.
She had a strong impression of the Demon Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City. The two sides had been "old friends" for over a hundred years. However, the Demon Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City had now vanished, and the few survivors had joined the Demon Hunt General Agency.
As for the Demon Hunt General Agency... Scarlet Moon actually still had a memory of it.
Because one of the magnificent achievements of The Cursed String Music was when it came to Tatsumi City and defeated the Queen of the Scarlet Moon.
"That man was very powerful..."
She still remembers that when The Cursed String Music defeated her several decades ago, she was just eight years old but already had the power of a crowned ruler.
In that battle, The Cursed String Music was actually extremely skilled and capable.
He almost always had a smile on his face, with no pressure at all, and he continued to grow stronger even during the battle.
After all, she was the only person in history who possessed both extraordinary magical talent and the power of the Anomalous Star.
"If I ever meet this guy again, I\'m going to break his legs," muttered the Scarlet Moon to herself.
Hmph, I\'ll remember this!
"The inside story about \'possession\' in the Demon Hunt General Agency, was actually kept secret."
Alan gathered the information, rubbing his forehead as he added, and with a perplexed expression, he said:
"Maybe my level of permission is not enough, but no one has mentioned this matter at all. If it weren\'t for your notification, I wouldn\'t have known when I could find out."
Was it not announced?
Bai Yan keenly noticed this.
He still remembered the Leaf King\'s strategist, Ringi\'s words...
"For some reason, we should not make this matter public, so we hope that Babel Tower can get involved in the investigation," they said for a specific purpose.
Hmm... what could be the reason that made them keep the secret about the Night Watcher being possessed?
Bai Yan always felt that there was some important reason behind it, but for now, he couldn\'t come to a conclusion.
"Respected Savior... I am following another replaced Night Watcher."
Mu Ling said calmly, "He looks exactly like the original Night Watcher, with almost no discernible differences... I didn\'t attempt to attack him, nor was I discovered."
"But inside the home of the Night Watcher, I discovered a special black charm that appeared to be made of dark shadows. Its shape closely resembled an eye encircled by fingers and possibly held a connection to the ultimate truth."
But Mu Ling didn\'t bring the black charm to the Babel Tower because she was unsure whether to tip her hand too soon.
Kaluoer silently watched Mu Ling, perhaps this was the right way to investigate, compared to her own... was she too rough?
The wolf-eared maid was reflecting on her actions.
In the end, Mu Ling spoke calmly, saying, "Please rest assured, I will definitely investigate the cause and effect of this matter... I won\'t let evil hide in Tatsumi City."
She had always held strong affection for her hometown, Tatsumi City.
Compared to others, perhaps only Mu Ling and Alan were the ones who truly hoped to deal with those strange black liquid creatures.
[Please continue your efforts, everyone]
Bai Yan uttered some meaningless words, which almost served as the summary of the entire Babel Tower meeting.
Afterward, the new Babel Tower meeting came to an end.
After sending all the other Core Operators to the real world, Bai Yan used the power of incarnation to send another "Bai Yan" to Tatsumi City.
He, assuming the role of a "Profligate," went to the Mu Ling family\'s villa.
Bai Yan, feeling that the follow-up investigation of this "body snatching" incident is of great importance, has already decided to personally intervene.
