Chapter 284 Seven Towers and Seven Seals

Mond leisurely stretches its huge body, it has crossed an important milestone on the path to God, that is immortality. Since then, it has been used to putting aside its worries and began to seek more subtle and complex enjoyments.

"Well, I can wait," it said.

"Thank you." Xu Yang pondered, "There is one more thing I don't quite understand."

"I can answer all your doubts." Mond said, the voice of the giant dragon sounded like a whisper produced by geological activities, and its body was also huge and thick, like a moon-white volcano, containing awesome and infinite power.

"The Giant Tower Project..." Xu Yang has collected very little information so far, "...and the 'Tower Keeper', do you know anything about it?"

"Ah, the huge 'towers'." Mond groaned leisurely, "Who can miss them. Wee guiiii huihun, Paigis ge hexgag. 'Go to the giant towers, and you will be stared at by the stars'."

"... Huge? If they are 'huge', where are they?" Xu Yang asked, "It is said that the gods allowed people to build these towers, and unified the language so that people can go to see the gods."

"Of course, you can see it yourself." Mond let out a hoarse laugh, "Use your own eyes to witness taboo knowledge, there are two sets of giant towers, six ancient towers used by humans, churches and witches in the past Towers. And seven new towers that are now in use by you."

"……I do not understand."

"Which is the tallest building in the Archipelago?"

"The Xisheng Shrine is 636 meters high." Xu Yang replied subconsciously.

"Then you've discovered the towers closest to you," said Mond contemptuously, "so close, haven't you? Seven towers, seven seals. Anyone with a little brain would have guessed the Enterprise, the ancient mystic, and the witch." There is not only competition, but also cooperation. Behemoths like Xisheng Capital, Fuyin Global Investment, and Wanjiade United Group use the interests of human civilization as bargaining chips to exchange, easily hollowing out the basic assets of the company alliance, and controlling various companies like tentacles. Megacorporations, and the fate of all human beings. Fortunately, I have seen it all, and human scrambling will only lead to disappointment, so I made the most sensible decision: to move to the moon."

"And I can't... just stand by and watch." Xu Yang's face was solemn, and Mond's words contained too much information.

"But you don't have an easy way to win, do you?" Mond chuckled, "Resistance is weak. Why don't you stop now, share a sofa with those company people, exchange technology, knowledge and funds, and you will live A carefree life. This age is not ready to really burn, and rushing will only shatter your bones."

Surrender to the company?

Xu Yang felt angry in his heart, like a nameless evil fire rising from his heart. Without the suppression of the digital mind, this anger would have spun him out of control.

"I won't join forces with the company." Xu Yang said in a resentful tone.

"Sorry." Mond could clearly feel Xu Yang's anger, "As the immortal species, we look at things from different angles. I didn't mean to be sarcastic."

"I understand." Xu Yang took a deep breath, "If I go to Xisheng Shrine, will I find anything useful?"

"You will gain extraordinary insights," Mond said, "whether the huge towers built by people in the middle ages, or the new towers that people build one after another today, contain the supreme power that connects the lifeblood of the world. And you may also understand The origin of the witch."

"they……"

"Witches are parasitic in human civilization, aren't they?" Mond said sarcastically this time, "Why can the native humans in this land suddenly give birth to a witch who can communicate with the stars?"

"... It is almost natural for witches to be born during the breeding process of humans. But it seems particularly strange to say so."

"I discussed this topic with Gillen, the founder of the Company Alliance, and he was as nervous as you are." Mond said, "So, Gillen almost killed all the witches after defeating them. The price was heavy, and the result was Desperate—witches still appeared in large numbers in the post-war baby boom. Almost every witch he killed was reborn in conception, still inheriting exactly the same magic power, and even their temperaments were similar. It meant that the witches were killers. Immortal, unkillable."

"..." Xu Yang pondered. The witch brings endless variables to the whole world.

"In my opinion, the witch is like the agent of the stars. Whenever I look up at the stars on the moon, I can feel the murderous intent from the stars. So I don't like witches."

"If there is an answer hidden in the giant tower, I will explore it." Xu Yang said firmly, "However, there must be a price for this."

"The price is that you have to share the insights you have gained with me." Mond rubbed its claws, "...you also understand that I rarely visit the ground myself, and I have never investigated these new era things."

"It's fair. I'll try it." Xu Yang said.

"Compared to that unscrupulous Farosa, your moral sense is much more significant." Mengde said calmly, "Some secrets are suitable for you to share alone. But the two of you are too young, so both They have distinct strengths and weaknesses, and it’s impossible to say which one is better than the other.”

"Maybe." Xu Yang sighed.

It crouches down. At this moment, Mond saw a charred Blackfire fighter jet falling in the middle of the field. From this angle, its angular appearance evoked its credibility, and it suddenly realized that there was something Stronger, sharper and more rigid than the female rhinoceros.

"Explore your own future as much as you want. I found that life is full of surprises, and you should also go around more. Once you find something new, you know how to contact me." Mond hurriedly ended the topic and fell into a dormant state.

Xu Yang stayed away from Mond and returned to the Shijin Building through the portal.

It was already 11:30 in the middle of the night, and the streets were very quiet. Xu Yang left the building by driving the Innovation. As he reclined in the leather seat alone, various thoughts came to his mind.

His current state of mind is not suitable for doing things, and he has to sort out all the clues before he can continue to act. "Moonfire" Mond is an interesting old dragon who has given him a lot of valuable information and has a unique perspective on the world. This meeting undoubtedly taught him a lot.

I and Farosa are obviously two types of people, but they are also like a jigsaw puzzle that fits together. Xu Yang thought secretly.

Falosa inspired Xu Yang. She has her own way of life and a more independent mentality. In her opinion, she doesn't owe this world anything, so she can hurt and trample everything in this world at will, unwilling to follow the rules it designed, and has a domineering mentality of arbitrarily arbitrating everything.

It is this kind of mentality that honed Faroza's execution ability. In all kinds of decision-making, she has followed through with iron and blood attitude, implemented her own code of conduct, and disdain to apply existing logic to legalize her behavior. She does not need Explaining her actions, her only motive is "she wants to do this".

On this point, Xu Yang must learn from her. Because Xu Yang will place his hopes on the role of morality and order, hoping to have a set of ready-made logic to guide his actions.

But he found that this is impossible. The world is on the eve of burning, and it is at a sharp historical turning point. All the dogmas, concepts, and regulations of the past are losing their effectiveness. They cannot explain what is happening at this moment, let alone predict the future.

The Innovation passed through the night streets and returned to Aizu City. The entrance and exit checkpoints were guarded by the personnel of the New Aizu Security Company. The asylum seekers were backlogged at the entrance, dissatisfied with the slow entry process.

In order to prevent the spies and secret agents of the Black Flame Revolution from hiding in it and causing trouble, the checks, body searches and audits of citizens are particularly strict, especially in the situation where the reputation information of the Pure Land of the Century is lost, it becomes extremely difficult to identify the population, so they cannot be randomly ordered Enter the dungeon.

But there are also broader moves.

Xu Yang saw that there were many hotels and commercial buildings under the name of Infinity in Kyoto on both sides of the road. During the day, the soldiers of the Black Fire Revolution attacked and harassed them, but they had little strategic significance, so they were abandoned.

These buildings have enough space for citizens to sleep overnight, but a number of security personnel in pink uniforms have already settled at the door, armed with live ammunition, intending to protect the unlimited assets of Kyoto.

The power of the giant enterprise is still there, so no one dares to provoke it.

"We are going to attack the infinite remnants of Kyoto and then occupy the city." Xu Yang sent a message to Katsuragi Asahi.

"But Kyoto is infinite..." Katsuragi Asahi was sitting on a captured black fire battle robot on the streets of Anjiu City at this time.

"It's far more fragile than we thought," Xu Yang said. "We live in a world of full competition. If a company doesn't perform well enough, it will be eliminated by the market mechanism. Let us send Kyoto Unlimited one last mile."

Katsuragi lightly nodded and made a plan.

At the entrance of Aizu City, the gang members turned into security personnel. There were a large number of people. They lined up and threatened the uniformed dogs sent by Kyoto Unlimited. These security guards were taken aback. In fact, they were just pulled here a few hours ago The number of temporary workers was at a disadvantage, and they just used the badges and badges of giant companies to scare people. At this time, they realized that they could not fight with their lives, looked at each other, and finally decided to give up.

"Wow……"

"Go inside."

"Finally, there is a place to rest..." The citizens in the backlog quickly took their luggage and entered the surrounding buildings, regarding them as their new footholds. For the refugees who have been terrified all day and are even more at a loss for the future, at least they have a place to rest tonight, so they won't have to wait hard on the streets after the rainstorm.

Xu Yang drove the shuttle into Aijin City after the crowds at the entrance and exit were almost dispersed. The entire underground city has now raised its level of combat readiness, and the environmental canopy has failed. Instead, it is brightly lit everywhere, and every street lamp is lit.

Passing by Tanaka Smart Company, Xu Yang wanted to meet his friends.
