Chapter 394
Chapter 394
Dressed in a black robe, Bai Yan transformed into the incarnation of a "Profligate."
He stood calmly in front of the Mu family\'s gate, looking at everything that had fallen into ruins, pondering many things.
"This is Mu Ling\'s home... Come to think of it, it seems like my first time visiting."
Mingming, was already very familiar with Mu Ling.
Last time she came, it seemed like it was because Mu Ling had just joined Babel Tower. The enraged Scarlet Moon wanted to kill Mu Ling to vent her anger.
Then, under the power of Power Possession, the Scarlet Moon was driven to desperation, unable to do anything but relent.
At that moment, he only stayed for a short while, probably not even for three minutes.
In fact, Bai Yan had known Mu Ling for a long time.He already felt very familiar with Mu Ling, even though Mu Ling may not have felt the same way.
Because, in private, Bai Yan and Mu Ling actually had very little contact with each other, often it was only him observing her.
He would always watch her from beyond the screen.
The "Savior" that Mu Ling admired was actually herself, and she was the only Core Operator in Babel Tower who knew her true identity.
Although the incident of her true identity being exposed was later fooled away by her own induction - "the Savior can incarnate into anyone."
But without a doubt, Mu Ling was special.
She was the beginning of her own salvation game, and she would accompany herself until the end of everything.
"Hello."
The gates slowly opened, revealing the face of Butler Huo Xin, a werewolf who had escaped from the Kingdom of Dark Light, also known as the Eruo League.
He glanced at the man at the door and politely introduced himself.
"I am the butler of the Mu family, Huo Xin... May I ask who you are? And why are you here to visit the Mu family?"
Bai Yan smiled gently and replied politely, "Hello, Butler Huo Xin. Please go and convey this message to the master of the Mu family. Just say that Profligate has come to visit."
"If he hears, he will definitely allow me to come in."
"Profligate?"
Huo Xin was taken aback, then he quickly bowed and exclaimed with excitement, "So, you are the elder at the Babel Tower. Our master has always been grateful for your care."
The infamous Profligate may be unknown to Tatsumi City, but in the Otherworlds of Tatsumi City, Profligate is widely known.
Mysterious and incredibly powerful.
As the butler of the Mu family, Huo Xin had naturally heard of the notorious Profligate.
In Huo Xin\'s heart, Profligate was no ordinary person, but rather a legendary powerhouse who traversed multiple worlds.
He was an elder predecessor of the Babel Tower, having traveled through multiple worlds. He served as the ace fighter for the Savior, using projections and clones when operating in Noah\'s world. The true extent of his power, in his original form, was unfathomable!
So, upon learning Bai Yan\'s true identity, the werewolf butler gracefully bowed, showing immense respect.
This reaction, however, was quite normal. Bai Yan simply smiled, gently shaking his head as he spoke:
"It\'s nothing... Mu Ling\'s determination and strong heart are the key factors that have enabled her to come this far and grow stronger step by step."
Speaking of which, Bai Yan had completely grown accustomed to being regarded highly and respected by others.
This kind of emotion was felt every day.
After hearing these words, Huo Xin immediately realized that Mr. Profligate was a person with high emotional intelligence.
Even so, he still felt very happy and content.
Oh, Mu Ling,
That was the child Huo Xin had watched grow up since he was little, the last crime-hunter of the Mu family, the tiny speck of hope that remained in his heart after all the flames had been extinguished.
For Mu Ling, Huo Xin was an important family member, a permanent part of the Mu family.
But for Huo Xin,
Mu Ling, she was everything.
So when Huo Xin heard others praise Mu Ling, even if it might have been just kind words, he couldn\'t help but feel overjoyed.
"You are too kind."
"I\'m sorry for keeping you waiting outside. Please come in first."
Butler Huo Xin certainly didn\'t make the "Profligate" wait outside. He immediately and respectfully led him into the mansion.
Afterwards, he took Profligate to the parlor inside the mansion.
Bai Yan sat calmly in the parlor. The villa\'s lights were dim, and the furniture had a heavy color tone. It faintly created a stifling atmosphere.
They would all tell the visitors that this place had ceased to flourish.
But he didn\'t feel the slightest sense of oppression.
Through the game "Babel Tower," Bai Yan had witnessed Mu Ling\'s life in this house many times. Moreover, he was well aware of the situation in Mu\'s family.
Filled with a familiar feeling... Although it was the first time stepping inside, there was an overwhelming sense of relaxation.
"I will go and seek permission from the head of the family. She will come out to greet you."
Huo Xin bowed and turned around, planning to leave the reception room.
Before leaving completely, he paused for a moment, turned back, and said guiltily, "I\'m truly sorry, Mr. Profligate... There are no other servants in the house apart from myself and the head of the household, so I can only ask you to wait here alone."
"The tea and snacks will be delivered a little later."
"No worries."
Bai Yan nodded gently and smiled, indicating that he understood. It was all just small matters.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Huo Xin bowed once again, finally leaving the reception room at that moment.
Bai Yan silently sat in the reception room, while at the same time, the real Bai Yan inside the Babel Tower took out his phone to check Mu Ling\'s current status.
"Hmm..."
At this very moment, Mu Ling was bathing in the bathhouse of her family\'s residence, with her eyes closed.
Her places of relaxation are nothing but the bathhouse and the café; only the warmth and comfort of these two places can make Mu Ling truly feel at ease.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Mu Ling heard the sound of knocking on the door. In fact, the entrance and the bathhouse were quite far apart, but she could still hear it clearly.
This is the special aspect of being a mighty extraordinary being.
Even the arrival of Profligate, she had already known long ago... It\'s just that without opening the NightFall, she still couldn\'t be certain who the person coming was.
"Wait a moment, please."
Accompanied by the sound of water, Mu Ling left the bathing pool.
She calmly dressed herself and approached the entrance of the bathing pool, where she saw Butler Huo Xin standing outside.
Huo Xin immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Profligate has come to visit!"
Mu Ling blinked for a moment, then nodded.
"I understand."
She promptly entered the changing room and quickly changed into a white formal attire. Afterwards, she entered the reception room and politely sat across from Bai Yan.
"Hello, Mr. Profligate, thank you for always taking care of us."
The "we" mentioned by Mu Ling refers to the core members of Babel Tower.
In her eyes, this group of people, including herself, are all considered "junior" and are not yet experienced enough.
The mysterious and enigmatic Profligate and Keeper of Secrets were revered as elder figures, full of unfathomable depths, and were trusted even more by the Savior.
It filled her heart with envy.
"If it wasn\'t for your caring, we wouldn\'t have reached the present \'now\', and would have already perished in various terrifying crises."
Mu Ling took a deep breath and stood up, bowing gracefully.
She sincerely thanked Mr. Profligate.
Because, in many of the missions, he would lend a helping hand... If it weren\'t for him, both myself and others would have died a long time ago.
... Maybe even World has already been destroyed.
"Just a small effort, as fellow Saviors, both of us should do our best for the Babel Tower."
Bai Yan smiled, thinking that he had spoken very wisely and intelligently.
As a result, Mu Ling furrowed her brow for a moment.
"Sorry, Senior Profligate... I believe we are more than just pawns. For the Savior, we are special."
Uh-oh.
Bai Yan froze in surprise.
These words were casually spoken.
You, being such a serious individual, what are you taking so seriously?
Mu Ling\'s gaze lowered slightly, and she reached out her hand before continuing, "Actually, the Savior and I have encountered each other several times in the real world... He also possesses human emotions, but he simply doesn\'t show them during meetings."
"I think, just like many gods with personalities, the Savior has a human side."
"Until now, I still remember the Savior\'s kindness shown to me during the Crown Ceremony."
Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
At that moment, he was cheering on Mu Ling, who was trapped in the dark dimension.
Little did she know, she would remember it all the way until now.
"Well, you\'re right."
Bai Yan smiled and completely avoided arguing with the other person.
If Mu Ling, you think that you understand the Savior even better than I do, then I can only say "ah yes, yes, yes."
Hmm, you understand the Savior better than I do.
Afterwards, Mu Ling said apologetically, "I\'ve spoken too much. Of course, you understand the Savior better than I do. I realize that... I\'m sorry, I might have gotten too carried away. But for me, the great Savior of the Babel Tower is like the only torch in the darkness, it holds great significance."
"Do you wish to give up everything for the Savior?" asked Bai Yan suddenly.
"Um."
Mu Ling nodded gently, speaking very solemnly, "Yes... even if he were to use my soul as a sacrifice, I would be willing to give myself up."
What she said was all true.
She didn\'t lie or make any excuses at all.
Until this moment, Bai Yan finally understood why he increasingly hoped to save World, not just complete the Babel Tower game.
Because of the trust and reliance that everyone in Babel Tower had in him.
How could he possibly disappoint the person before him who relied on and admired him so much?
"Perhaps admiration is the farthest distance from understanding..." Bai Yan sighed and murmured to himself.
"What did you say?" Mu Ling didn\'t quite understand the meaning behind it and asked.
"There\'s nothing special."
Bai Yan gazed into the girl\'s eyes and said meaningfully, "Perhaps, on some future day, you will understand the meaning of these words spoken just now."
"Today, I have brought you here to investigate the matter of \'possession\'."
Mu Ling nodded gently, her expression becoming solemn.
Next,
It would be her first time embarking on a mission with a Profligate.
