Overturned Tower

"I'm also a psychic."

Morgan sighed helplessly: "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to carry out the board's assassination plan."

Without waiting for the barber to ask, Morgan told him directly: "My spiritual power is to turn myself into an equal volume of water; in this state, I can repair my wounds and broken limbs by absorbing moisture from the outside world. As long as Get together again within 10 minutes, even if you were apart before.

"Because of this, I can bypass some defenses to monitor body temperature. Enter some places through door cracks, water pipes, ventilation ducts, and ceilings.

"This is a psionic ability that is very convenient for assassination, so I will be valued."

"...Is that the psychic power you awakened in the car accident?"

But the barber looked in another direction.

Morgan sighed slightly: "Yeah.

"Unlike you...and the Blue Robin. I was penetrated by multiple steel bars that fell from the car in front of me.

"I was immobilized and couldn't move. But because of the pain, I stayed awake.

"And I saw that the blue song robin's neck and abdomen were cut by steel bars, and blood gushed out.

"I wanted to call for help but my lungs were pierced and I couldn't cry out as hard as I could. I could only vomit pink foam.

"At that time, I wanted so strongly to get out of this predicament... so I awakened my spiritual power.

"...But I haven't completed the transfer yet."

Morgan was a little embarrassed: "Because I really don't have any desires anymore.

"And my psychic power is so easy to use, that's why I was taken away by the veil of ignorance... The blue songbird was incidental. Since then, I have met Mr. Tovatus."

"...So you need to ask him to introduce you to the godfather."

The barber was stunned.

But new doubts arose in his heart: "The director Kamalse..."

"It was he who sent me away."

Morgan replied with certainty: "As a deal, he equipped the Veil of Ignorance with some expensive prosthetic equipment.

"Different from what Blue Song Robin thought, it's not the veil of ignorance that controls him through me...it's the Tianen Group that controls me through him."

--I see.

It all makes sense...

Torvatus can't directly use his board of directors status to operate the Veil of Ignorance, so where did the extremely expensive super-highly modified prosthetics in the Veil of Ignorance come from?

At first, he thought that Tovatus bought it from the black market regardless of the cost... He did have that kind of money.

Anyway, as long as you don't take the obvious path, it's fine.

But at the time, he also felt strange, in that case...why are these things "so new"?

Especially later, when he knew that the Veil of Ignorance had been in place for some time.He has no reason to start throwing money now.

And on the other side...Morgan was 20 years old and hadn't graduated from college.Why did you suddenly disappear after leaving the hospital?

Even Delphinium, who is the special executive department, can't find out her whereabouts—as the monitor of the whole island, her authority over information is basically second only to the board of directors of the head office.

Then the problem is very simple.

Her record was erased by the board of directors of Tianen Group.

Delphinium must have been aware of this at the time... The reason why she deliberately didn't mention it to Russell was because she was worried that he would be involved in a more complicated situation, but she didn't want to deceive him.

That's why she just mentioned it briefly, then turned around and told about Xiao Liuli's information.At that time, Russell's attention was indeed drawn away by Xiao Liuli.

But when you think about it this way, the situation becomes too ironic——

Those expensive prosthetic bodies of the veil of ignorance were only possessed after the birth of "Little Liuli".

The funds they used to make Xiao Liuli, control Xiao Liuli, and monitor Xiao Liuli... were also obtained by selling Morgan.

"...Then you can still trust the Veil of Ignorance?"

"Compared to the company, I would rather trust the uncoded."

Morgan said softly: "They have no morals...but the company has no hearts."

Chapter 47 The Falling Meteor

The barber and Morgan were walking in the dark alleys of the lower city.

Neither the blue robin nor the pony has night vision capabilities. In order to keep up with the two people in front, the barber has already pulled down his night vision goggles.

And Morgan followed closely beside him.Relying on the light emitted by the factory machines, the barber can barely be seen.

She didn't even know where she was going, but she didn't feel afraid walking in such a dim place.

She hopes that this moment can be extended indefinitely...

The rhythmic noises from the factories on both sides are mixed with the rhythmic sound of the tide overhead...

"Once you get used to it, it will make people feel at ease."

Morgan said suddenly: "It gives people a sense of tranquility."

"You mean the noise of the factory?"

Although Morgan's topic was sudden, the barber immediately realized what she was going to say.

This kind of tacit understanding with Morgan... is exactly what he just got.

"And the cry of the sea."

Morgan put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and said softly: "It seems that living here is not bad."

Hearing this, the barber fell silent.

He didn't know how he should answer...

He felt that whatever he said could hurt Morgan's heart; and the remaining half of the response would hurt himself.

"Do you remember," muttered Morgan, "I was actually terrified of the dark. I was terrified."

That's because the Blue Robin would never go out at night and be with her...

"It's good to be afraid of the dark."

Without turning his head, the barber said softly, "A good swimmer drowns. It is safest to take the initiative to stay away from danger."

"...It's pretty much the same as what he said."

Morgan was a little helpless.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the more she chats with herself, the more the barber looks like a "blue robin"...

Compared with the type of boyfriend who likes to show off his prestige, save face, and talk hard, Blue Robin is much more rational-he admits that he is not good at fighting, and his vision is very dim at night.Therefore, he never took Morgan out at night when the lower city might come to commit crimes at night at any time...

Because he knew very well that he could not protect Morgan.Bluebird and Morgan's father are also responsible to her for not letting her go out at night.

Night has always been the home of downtown.

Anyway, there is no distinction between day and night in the downtown area, so they can sleep the whole day and come out again when night falls.

And in the middle of the night... Even the executive department is off work.

The few shift personnel stationed there are only to guard the documents or protect the executive building.

—The Corporate Executive is not the police.

They strictly abide by the attitude of taking a piece of money and doing a job, and there is no possibility of risking their lives to go out at night.

If something goes wrong at night, no one will come to rescue him.

But now, with her is the nominal leader of the lower city—the Godfather.

"Now that I'm with 'Master Godfather', I feel less afraid."

"...It's better to be afraid."

The barber sighed again: "I'm not a nice person."

Although Morgan may not understand it, the "Godfather" is indeed not a good person.

Unlike "Ultramarine", his position is completely close to the downtown area.

For example, what he is about to do...

They had been walking for more than two hours, and since leaving the veil of ignorance, Morgan had only seen two people on the road.

Instead, I saw or heard fifteen or sixteen huge freight trucks roaring past.

"There are... so few people in the lower city?"

Morgan was a little surprised: "Or are they all hiding?"

"Because they're sleeping."

The barber sighed helplessly: "People without a code also need to sleep."

It is now afternoon in the outside world, and for most people in the lower city, it is time for deep sleep.So there are no people hanging around.

The Angels and the Executive Department are usually dispatched to the lower city after five o'clock in the afternoon.The rest of the time is considered an assault.

The reason is also very simple...Because the downtown area is in the daytime, there are trucks delivering goods.After five o'clock is off work time.

While it's part drone and part pilot's jump-in controls, there's definitely a part real human too.

Generally speaking, the codeless people in the downtown area will not attack these trucks on their doorsteps.Otherwise there would be a very high-intensity siege in the Lower City—of course, there must be some idiots and radicals, but they are usually killed by the hangman.After all, ordinary uncoded people just want to live in another place, and they don't want to pay the price of their lives, risk causing war, and desperately increase the price of the upper city by five percentage points...

People who do this are more or less seriously ill.

And if the Angels and Executives damaged these freight trucks, it would definitely not work.

After all, the executive department is a department that "puts the interests of the company first", not for the execution of justice.One of the reasons why the "civilians" in the lower city can escape the siege is precisely because, once the evacuation of freight trucks starts in a certain area, or when the freight trucks at the door suddenly change course, people are immediately sensitive and ready to run.

Unlike Sogo Island... there are no trucks running around Uptown even at night.

While uncoded people don't attack the trucks on their doorstep, that's not the case uptown.

This can also be said to be a mutual choice.

People in the upper city will go home before midnight.The remaining people who enjoy the nightlife will never leave the store where they are staying.

The first priority for the uncoded to rob and hijack is the drunk who is alone—the second is the young couple who come out to find excitement.

It's easy to control while having money... Even if you don't have money, you can kidnap and take away the family members who threaten them.To take a step back, simply tying people up and sending them to the lower urban area is productive.

For example, it can be used to shoot small videos that are generally taboo or especially taboo, or you can also emptied the internal organs and sold them to black market doctors, or directly handed over people to mad scientists who were expelled for doing taboo experiments.

Even if the executive department receives a report, at most it will be "we know".It's impossible to go to the lower city to search for missing persons aimlessly... It's a coincidence that they happened to meet when the organization was being wiped out.But they definitely won't take the initiative to look for it, because they can't find it at all.

——There is no Internet, no lights, no surveillance, and no floating vehicles in the lower urban area. In most areas, you can't even make phone calls or send text messages.They take a hammer to find someone.

"Usually, there is a difference of about ten hours between the work schedules in the lower urban area and the upper urban area. After nine o'clock in the morning, people will feel at ease when the first batch of trucks pass by their door."

The barber explained.

A cargo truck means safety.

It is impossible for company dogs to cause damage to their owners...so as long as the downtown area does not attack trucks in the downtown area, and downtown and high-end entertainment and dining facilities where big people may visit, they will always be safe.

"...but what is that?"

Morgan pointed to the sky, but there was nothing in the barber's night-vision goggles.

Confused, he took off his night vision goggles.

Strangely, when I took off the night vision goggles... I seemed to see a golden shooting star, as if "rising from the sea", or falling from the sky.

But not far ahead, there was a dark golden light of the same thickness rising from the ground and colliding with the meteor.

When they collided, there was no violent collision or explosion sound... Instead, they exploded in the air like fireworks, and the golden clouds slowly dispersed in the air, even illuminating a "sea".

"...that is the power of the Holy Order."

The barber's eyes became serious: "But what's the other hair?"

Could it be... an angel launched a sneak attack?

But in that case, how could there be only one shot?

"……problem occurs?"
