On the way back, Liu Chengzi pondered more and more that sothing was off.
She had helped Bai Wu get everything in order, managed everything properly, and even negotiated a profit-sharing agreent with the financial backer behind the live broadcast outside the tower.
But what about my cara?
All of this was for the cara, yet the cara had returned to Bai Wu’s hands because it was taken outside the tower for an upgrade. In this process, Bai Wu used the cara at will. In essence, she got nothing.
Thinking about it carefully, wasn’t this the sa as being taken advantage of for free?
Liu Chengzi puffed up her cheeks, looking at Bai Wu angrily and said,
"The cara can be used twice, right? I demand that you at least reserve one opportunity for to use it."
The two were on their way back to Bai Wu’s place, and there were few communication tools at the lower levels, so Bai Wu planned to show Liu Chengzi the way to make it easier for her to contact him.
Speaking of the cara, Bai Wu thought of sothing:
"We’re partners now, can you tell what is so special about this cara? What has it captured before?"
Liu Chengzi’s steps faltered, her expression sowhat unnatural:
"Who told you there’s anything in the cara?"
"There’s no need for that question. Since I’m convinced the cara has captured certain images, there must be a basis for my judgnt."
Bai Wu took out the cara and said,
"Your facial expression also betrays you. Since we’re partners, why not share it? Of course, if it’s sothing you can’t talk about, you can refuse."
Liu Chengzi nodded, she wasn’t too insistent, after all, the matter was still ongoing.
"Two years ago, two of my friends disappeared."
The two had reached the door of Bai Wu’s residence. Liu Chengzi’s remark led Bai Wu to guess a possibility.
"Co in and talk about it."
Once inside Bai Wu’s ho, Liu Chengzi looked around and found it quite clean, completely different from her boyfriend number four and number six, but similar to her boyfriend number two.
Boys who love cleanliness and tidiness can score a few extra points.
"In the High Tower, the levels are clearly defined, and it’s not uncommon for those above to bully those below. Through the Garrison Corps, if you have solid evidence, you can even report the nobles above."
Bai Wu poured a glass of water for Liu Chengzi, who spoke calmly,
"Three years ago, won from the lower levels began disappearing one after another. About one a week, with the common trait being their beauty."
"Those from the lower levels who go to the upper three levels often et the sa fate. n are arranged to gamble and struggle to survive. So won too, but the beautiful won often experience sothing else first..."
It was rare for Sea Queen to show an angry expression:
"As for what they experience, I don’t need to say it, you understand."
Bai Wu nodded.
In the backward High Tower era, such incidents indeed occurred with great frequency.
And these won... their fate was naturally not good.
"And when the upper class has consud enough, when they’re tired of the won, they won’t co back, but instead are arranged to go outside the tower. I’ve heard that the Evil Fallen outside, they’re all transford from people. Do you think there’s a chance that one day, when you go outside the tower to investigate, you’ll encounter soone from inside the tower?"
Liu Chengzi’s mood sank further. She shook her head and drank another half glass of water:
"Naturally, I didn’t want to deal with these filthy transactions. In fact, I used to have another business. I and two good friends partnered to open a clothing store aid at allowing people from the lower levels to dress fancy and beautiful."
"Haha, don’t look at like that, I’ve had grand dreams too."
A smile suddenly piled up on her face, sowhat forced as she tried to chase away certain emotions:
"It’s just that later, they disappeared. The goal that the three of us were supposed to achieve together naturally ceased to exist. The shop closed down, I managed to escape a calamity, and I had no heart to continue the trade of the past."
Clenching her fists tightly, Liu Chengzi chuckled without a sound,
"If only they hadn’t pried into other people’s business."
Liu Chengzi did not explain how she got the cara.
She didn’t explain why there was no film in the cara either.
But Bai Wu deduced an answer close to the truth.
Liu Chengzi’s two friends may have tried to investigate the trafficking of lower-class girls by the upper echelons.
This wasn’t a matter that those from the lower classes should concern themselves with; those missing girls were mostly alone and unprotected. Liu Chengzi’s two friends, being able to establish a shop in the lower levels, might also indicate that the three won had so skills and connections.
In theory, the lechers in the upper echelons wouldn’t choose such won to play with.
But you couldn’t help it if two people were courting death... trying to sneak photos for evidence, the girls did end up capturing sothing horrendous.
But they also left behind a massive disaster.
The film in the cara was ultimately destroyed, and the owners of the cara also went missing.
Liu Chengzi kept eting n of various identities, her connections growing wider, seemingly as a precaution.
Of course, the core of her Sea Queen physique was the main reason.
"Having a heart bent on justice is a good thing, but they didn’t accurately assess their opponents,"
Bai Wu suddenly spoke up, causing Liu Chengzi to startle.
"It seems you’ve figured it out."
Looking up, Liu Chengzi tried to suppress the sadness in her emotions, pretending to be relaxed, she said,
"It’s been so long. They might have already been played out by those higher-ups and then thrown outside the tower."
Now Bai Wu understood why the registration of freelance rcenaries was so lax; it was convenient for those higher-ups... to engage in so unsavory deeds.
This really was a High Tower World rotten from top to bottom.
"I understand. Now that everything is in order, I’m ready to head outside the tower."
"Bai Wu, tell ... if my friends turned into the Evil Fallen and t outside the tower, would they devour ?"
Before eting Elijah and Little Pitiful Hong Yin, Bai Wu would have thought the likelihood was high.
But now he wasn’t so sure.
"The world outside the tower is vast, there’s no need to think about things that haven’t happened. But if I do et them, I will convey your longing to them. Alright, you should go now, I need to change clothes."
Bai Wu sent Liu Chengzi out and then put on the Spirit Possession Bodysuit, followed by a black cloak and a V-shape mask.
This Stitched "Constantine" was thus born.
Although this image wasn’t as eye-catching as the female live-strears in their bikinis, Bai Wu believed that the true world outside the High Tower would soon attract the attention of the spectators.
...
...
Arriving once again at the entrance to the High Tower in Eastern Square, Bai Wu had already activated the Traction Disc beforehand.
No matter which colored door he entered from, Bai Wu would be pulled by the Traction Disc to a specific area.
The mber of the Investigation Corps responsible for registration glanced at the oddly dressed Bai Wu and asked,
"Constantine?"
"Yes."
"Where are your teammates?"
"They have already gone to a specific area; I’m here to provide support."
"The outside of the tower is dangerous; you wildcat rcenaries, be safe, don’t end up losing both your lives and your belongings."
The inspector’s caution ca with good intentions, noticing Bai Wu carrying sothing, they asked,
"What’s that you’re bringing? Such a big pack? Let tell you, the chances of Spirit Possession are very low... You’d better bring sothing more portable."
Naturally, inside the backpack was the rice cooker; Bai Wu was obsessed with it.
Seeing that Bai Wu was unmoved, the inspector didn’t bother anymore and simply let him through.
Once again, in front of the entrance to the outside of the tower, Bai Wu touched the Stele.
A white light swallowed his figure, and at the sa ti, elsewhere—
The massive TV wall in the middle section of the Scavenger Port abruptly switched images.
