Chapter 532 The Arrogant Black Tower
Chapter 532 The Arrogant Black Tower
"Don't be fooled by the fact that only the fourth mirror is with me; its brothers and sisters have already seen through your every move."
The black tower gently brushed against the memory thief's head.
"Let me think... how should I punish such a daring thief?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, I've got an idea! People in Yiting really like mirrors, right? So why don't I do you a favor and let you spend more time with the mirror?"
"The duration of the punishment... shouldn't be too harsh. How about one percent of your life? That's enough time for you to reflect properly."
"Don't be afraid. Even if you're hidden inside a mirror, you can still contribute to the world."
"That meager bit of destiny energy you possess might just help me attract the attention of the machine head?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention. The one percent I just mentioned..."
"What's multiplied by my lifespan is..."
The moment the words left her lips, the Black Tower gently pushed the Memory Thief into the mirror.
Then she clapped her hands.
"Ha... I feel so relieved. I've finally gotten the problem out of the woods."
The fourth mirror beside them simulated chewing sounds: "Mmm...delicious, delicious..."
Black Tower frowned immediately. "Don't make any strange noises, or it'll make me look like I'm not quite right in the head. Let that little thief get some sleep first, and we'll decide what to do with her later."
The Fourth Mirror: "Oh dear, lovely and respectable Lady Black Tower, when did your heart become so soft?"
"Watch out, or I'll deal with you too." A grimacing symbol appeared above Black Tower's head.
The fourth mirror suddenly went silent.
Black Tower then walked toward the "Meeting System" with satisfaction.
"The 'Appointment System' has been restarted. It's finally time..."
"Machine Head, I went through so much trouble just to get to you, so you can't ignore me."
Black Tower then restarted the "Appointment System" terminal, intending to attract the attention of the Venerable Master.
Under the operation of the "Visiting System", the Black Tower's consciousness was once again absorbed, but this time it was no longer a region, but a narrow passage of fate.
"The narrow passage of fate... is not a virtual scenario constructed from a simulated universe, but a real, tangible one..."
This is the third time.
"This is not the time for sentimentality. Robot head... will you respond to me?"
Black Tower exhaled and began to run through the narrow passage of fate.
When the Black Tower gets closer to the first mirror, it means that the "Meeting System" has taken a step forward.
The audience seemed to be going smoothly, but... the Black Tower suddenly heard a voice from beyond the heavens, something seemed amiss?
The first mirror then spoke: "Lady Black Tower...we have detected some 'sounds' within the narrow passage."
Black Tower frowned slightly. "Oh? Let me hear it."
The Voice of Fate? One: "0001..."
The Voice of Fate? One: "0011..."
Black Tower understood the meaning behind the voice, and she felt both surprised and normal at the same time.
"That sound is... binary arithmetic? Could it be a machine head?"
The Voice of Fate? Part Two: "1111......."
The Voice of Fate? Part Two: "0002..."
Black Tower frowned again. "Wait a minute, how can there be a '2' in binary arithmetic?"
"Are you kidding me...?"
The Black Tower looked up at the sky, seemingly protesting loudly against the Venerable Master Boshi.
Ignoring the voice of destiny, she continued forward, approaching the second mirror and advancing the audience process.
At that moment, the second mirror spoke again: "Ms. Black Tower! Those voices have appeared again!"
The second mirror: "What do we do? What should we do?!"
Black Tower sighed. "Calm down, Second Mirror."
"What did it say again? Play it for me again."
The Voice of Destiny? 1: "0126........"
Voice of Destiny, Part Two: "Wait... this door doesn't seem locked. What about all the tests we did before? Did it count as us being diligent?"
"Door? Lock?" Black Tower wondered.
"No, this isn't the voice of destiny at all... What's going on?"
She immediately realized what was happening.
At this moment, the third mirror spoke: "Hehehehe...Ms. Black Tower, the guys outside... seem to be saying something quite interesting?"
The Third Mirror: "Would you like to listen too? Hehehe..."
Black Tower rolled its eyes at it. "Third Mirror, could you please tone down that cringe-worthy laughter?"
"You just mentioned 'the guy outside'? Could it be...?"
The Third Mirror: "Hehehe... Ma'am, why don't you listen to it yourself?"
The Voice of Fate, Part 1: "She fainted?"
Voice of Fate? Part Two: "Hmm, it seems so."
Black Tower was speechless for a moment; she seemed to understand something.
"Something's wrong. Someone must have broken into the lab!"
Then, the sound came again.
The Voice of Destiny, Part Two: "Should we wake her? This is the first time I've seen this genius in his true form, Welt?"
Voice of Destiny? 1: "Well, let's do it this way. It may be a bit rude, but we are indeed in a hurry."
"Wait! Wait, wait, wait..."
After overhearing the conversation, Black Tower understood everything completely.
This is clearly an intrusion into the space station, and someone even intends to harm her.
But she couldn't give up the experiment here.
"No, no, absolutely not! Whoever you are, don't interrupt me at this time!"
"I have to keep going... just a few more steps and I'll see the machine head!"
Undeterred, Black Tower continued its advance, approaching the fourth mirror.
But then she stopped.
The Fourth Mirror asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Lady Black Tower?"
Black Tower shook his head. "No, it's nothing. I was just thinking..."
The Fourth Mirror: "Uh, Lady Black Tower... you'd better listen to the voice coming from outside the chasm..."
The Voice of Fate? Part 1: "Could I trouble you, Jingyuan?"
The Voice of Destiny, Part Two: "Leave it to me! I'm the expert in this area!"
Black Tower panicked immediately, "Wait... what are they trying to do?"
Voice of Destiny, Part Two: "Excuse me, Miss Black Tower, I never expected our first meeting to be like this!"
Black Tower immediately felt a force wrap around her body.
"This is... a 'hunt'?"
"Are you trying to pull me out of this by anchoring cause and effect through a hunting expedition?"
Black Tower frowned immediately. "Nonsense! Trying to influence me with such petty tricks? No way!"
The Black Tower immediately exerted its power, instantly interrupting Jing Yuan's hunting power.
The Voice of Destiny, Part Two: "She easily neutralized the power of 'Hunting' through her subconscious... As expected of the Commander, if my God were still alive..."
The Voice of Fate: 1. "Is there any other way?"
The Fourth Mirror then burst into laughter: "Haha! You overconfident fool, do you really think you can interrupt Lady Black Tower's experiment?"
The Fourth Mirror: "Ignore them, let's continue to see the Venerable Master Humility!"
The Black Tower fell silent once again.
After a while, she sighed, "Never mind, Mirror, let's leave here first."
The Fourth Mirror was quite surprised: "Get out? You...you mean...we want to interrupt the audience experiment at this time?"
The Fourth Mirror: "This is insane, ma'am! We went through so much trouble to get here, we were just one step away from reaching the Star God himself... You know how expensive it is to restart the 'Audience System'!"
Black Tower shook his head. "But if I ignore those two intruders and keep going... the moment the machine head looks down at the space station, the energy in that instant will surely burn them to a crisp."
"The experiment can be done a second time, but once a person is gone, there's no way to bring them back to life."
The fourth mirror remained silent.
Then, the fourth mirror adopted a tone filled with mixed emotions: "Waaah... the benevolent and gentle Lady Black Tower! This mirror has truly chosen the right master..."
Black Tower was speechless. "Stop it! Don't talk in such a disgusting tone!"
"Sigh...it looks like this project will have to be abandoned halfway through again."
Black Tower gave Fate's Gate one last look, "Machine Head—I'll be back, you just wait..."
..........
Black Tower Space Station.
As soon as Hei Ta opened his eyes, he saw Walter Yang and Jing Yuan frozen in place.
Walter said somewhat awkwardly, "...Ms. Black Tower? You're awake?"
Black Tower sighed helplessly, "Sigh...you two..."
"My plans have been completely ruined by you!"
"Your plan?" Jing Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Walter immediately said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Black Tower... we were unaware that you had other plans."
"When we arrived at the space station, we found it completely dark. Jingyuan and I both thought there was some kind of emergency. We descended to find the source of the accident, but we never expected to encounter you here... in person."
Black Tower sighed helplessly, straightened his pointed hat, and then asked, "How...did you get in?"
“That door isn’t locked,” Jing Yuan said, pointing to the door behind him.
Black Tower is speechless again.
I never expected that something like this would go wrong.
"Okay, okay... I'm a reasonable person, so this isn't your fault."
She looked at the two of them again.
"I remember Mr. Yang from the Starry Sky Train. And this gentleman next to you is...?"
“It seems Lady Black Tower isn’t very familiar with intergalactic news,” Walter Young said. “Do you remember what happened to the train in Lov?”
"Hmm... I have a vague recollection. I remember helping Eve out in the end." Black Tower thought carefully and seemed to indeed have memories of the Immortal Boat Luofu.
She remembered that Eve had fought a battle in Luofu, and then she was going to war with the entire Immortal Ship Alliance. At that time, she went to help out a little so that Eve could test the simulated universe.
Jing Yuan then clasped his hands in a gesture of respect: "I am Luo Fu Jing Yuan, and I am now a member of the Starry Sky Train."
"Speaking of which, I should thank Ms. Black Tower for her help when Luofu was in danger."
"Jing Yuan?" Black Tower murmured the name.
"I remember now, you are a general of Luofu, right? One of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow?" Black Tower finally remembered.
She remembered that Eve had indeed mentioned it to her at the time.
“That’s right, Ms. Black Tower, it is I.” Jing Yuan adopted a very humble posture.
This was Jing Yuan's consistent style: humble and polite. Besides expressing his gratitude, he was also well aware that he had come to the space station to ask for help.
"No need for an apology. I'm paying Eve's bill. If you want to thank her, go ask her." Black Tower waved his hand.
"Also, how is Eve doing? We haven't heard from her in a long time," Black Tower asked Walter Yang.
Walter Young shook his head, his voice somewhat somber.
“If we could get in touch with Eve, we wouldn’t have bothered you so rashly, Ms. Black Tower.”
Black Tower was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then sighed.
"So, I guess you two aren't here for sightseeing, are you?"
Valte nodded. "Although the current situation is quite different from what we imagined... in any case, it's good that the space station is safe."
Then he continued, "Ms. Black Tower, we have come for 'Onfaros'."
Black Tower fiddled with his little magic wand. "Oh, not surprising at all."
"Himeko told me."
“Have you thought of anything?” Walter Young asked.
"No, I already told Himeko. This is very strange."
"The machine head has cast its gaze upon so many worlds... They are all etched into my mind, how could any have escaped its reach?"
"So, either you've been fooled by Yi Ting's people. Anyway, I first searched for those four words using the simulated universe, although I've already filtered out irrelevant results..." Black Tower shook his head.
"But there's still an astronomical list left—like, 'The Onfaros God King Team will replace their logo with King Bavilu next season'—hopefully that'll be helpful."
"It's alright, please let us take a look."
Walter Young took the list.
Black Tower continued, "But I'm still curious, didn't the Star Train already depart?"
"Is the world really that magical that you would make a special trip back? Even when Eve isn't here, you still come looking for me?"
Walter paused, as if he had something difficult to say.
"Because...we are in a dilemma."
"Especially after witnessing it firsthand, if Onphalus is indeed closely related to the stars, destiny, and even 'intelligence,' we need the wisdom of a genius."
"Why don't you elaborate on the 'dilemma' you mentioned, Mr. Yang?" Black Tower continued to ask.
"Oh dear, Eve isn't here right now, so I guess I'll have to step in." Black Tower stretched.
"So you've agreed?" Walter Young asked, somewhat surprised.
"Tell me the situation first. When Eve comes back, I need to tell her that she owes me a huge favor."
"Hmph, let's see if she dares not reply to my messages again!" Black Tower raised her head arrogantly.
