Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

"Ring ring ring".

"Huh, what's that noise?" Xian Yue'an was about to ask when they were coming down, but she was drawn to the noise coming from Shu Zao's side.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuan tensed up, biting her lip tightly to keep quiet, afraid of being discovered.

"Driving piles," Shuzao's words almost made Fuyuan lose his composure.

"Do you want me to come up and help you with the pile driving?" She didn't understand why her friend wanted to drive piles when she had nothing else to do, but she was happy to help.

Just take a look.

This is the sound you hear when pile driving.

"Ha—this…you can't help me. I'll contact you later. I'm going back to work."

Fu Yuan bit his lip until it bled. Shu Zao pinched his chin and leaned down to kiss his bloodied lips, making a sound so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

"If you're going to suffer like this, then don't. It's not illegal during the day."

The mocking laughter stimulated Fu Yuan's nerves.

Xian Yue An Shan understood Xiang Yi's meaning: "Okay, take your time, bye-bye."

"Okay, bye-bye."

The moment Shu Zao hung up the phone, Fu Yuan took the lead.

It's not a loss if it's not exposed.

Xian Yue'an hung up the phone. She didn't understand, but that didn't mean Mo Shu and the others didn't understand.

"Yue'an, we'll help you with this first, and then we can surprise Shuzao when we're done."

Not knowing when the upstairs party would end, they decided to continue brewing wine with Yue'an.

"Okay, we can't wait for Shuzao to come for everything."

Shu Zao came down from the 87th floor as it was getting dark.

This past event is evoked through an unusual contrast.

. . . .

"Is this one of my mentors' laboratories?" Shu Zao looked around and was very satisfied with the layout of the White Tower.

The instruments are all brand new, brand-name products that are visibly superior in quality.

It's not that all ordinary instruments are bad; their quality varies, and you have to search to find good ones that are generally affordable and can be a good alternative to brand-name products.

"Yes, Director Shuzao, just let us know if you need anything in the experiment, and we'll get it for you as quickly as possible." Jiali showed Shuzao around the laboratory.

She was almost left behind in Grana Miro White Tower, but he found the commanders with photos and written slogans, giving them a reasonable excuse to keep Shuzao.

"I see and remember the preferential treatment the White Pagoda has given me, but—"

"If you know the White Pagoda is good, you should at least give something practical in return. Anyone can just talk the talk."

Shu Zao looked towards the doorway, where sentries and guides were standing.

"Who are you?"

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking my name? That's rude." Bethlia stepped into the laboratory, her sentry following behind her.

Shu Zao retorted, "This is my lab. You're being quite rude by coming in without my permission."

A sentry appeared at the door; it was Qing Chu. He didn't come in, but stood at the door calling to Beslia and her sentry.

"Guide Bethelia, this is not a place for visitors. Please follow me."

This area was designated as Shuzao's laboratory, which is private territory. The other party is very particular about boundaries, and he doesn't intend to walk into the line of fire.

"Look what's going on. What's here is also what the White Pagoda I'm in has, and it's even better."

"Then go back and check it out." Shu Zao didn't give him any face; the other party didn't seem like the kind of guide who would give face and then quit while he was ahead.

Ironically, she wasn't an easy-going director either.

Seeing that something was wrong, Qing Chu retreated to a corner and called Ming Ye.

"Shu Zao, don't think you're so great just because you can see the circle," Beslia said as she approached the Sentinel. "His name is Yan Zhe, the first generation of sealed Sentinel."

"Yan Zhe, you have terrible taste in directors."

"Long time no see, Yuanli," Yanzhe greeted calmly.

"My personal sentinel, Iris, is also a first-generation sentinel."

It's like everyone has their own sentry posts sealed off, you're just showing off.

"All my Sentinels are SSS-rank."

Shu Zao shrugged: "Oh, mine too."

Etheris: Almost, thankfully he reached SSS rank.

"I am an SSS-class special guide, while you were only recently promoted to S-class."

"Killing you with an S-rank weapon would still be a piece of cake."

"Don't talk big, try it if you dare."

"I'm going to kill you. Only one of us will survive. You'd better think it over."

"I'm not afraid of you, come on."

"Ring ring ring." Mingye called Beslia, but calling Shuzao was useless; she wouldn't answer and would hang up.

"Wait a minute, I need to take this call. Hello, Speaker Meino."

"Please select speakerphone."

"I've selected speakerphone." Why did you select speakerphone?

"Shu Zao, Beslia is an SSS-level special guide. You can count the number of SSS-level special guides in the White Tower and the central city on your fingers."

She's just a chatterbox, and she's jealous that you can see the entertainment circle. Yesterday she went to see Mingyou and Director Mumai. She thought you were just joking when you said you wanted to kill her.

Shu Zao twirled a strand of hair between her fingers: "How did you know I was going to kill her?"

Today, Shu Zao's hair was naturally loose, with strands of hair around her ears secured with butterfly tassel hair clips, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face.

"I know her character and you well. Don't kill her. She has the strongest sense of responsibility among special agents."

She is one of the few "obedient" and useful special guides; if there is danger, she will go if called upon.

He didn't approach her about the crisis at the rift in Yuri Ruda White Tower's jurisdiction, and he refused her request to participate.

Originally, she was the White Tower and the city's secret weapon.

He begged so many special mentors before finally agreeing to Shuzao's request, because he was afraid that Bethlia wouldn't grow enough and would falter there.

He misjudged Shuzao's value, and he couldn't grasp the situation. Now, Shuzao's value is higher than Bethelia's.

Beslia interrupted Meino, "Chairman Meino must have dialed the wrong number. You should have called Shuzao."

"She will hang up, Bethlia Guide. You take your Sentinels and leave the lab."

Bethlia still refused to believe it: "She won't hold back?"

He was an SSS-class special guide, but Meino's attitude was undeniable.

"Otherwise, why would I rush to call and save you? Even if you're the speaker, it won't matter; she'll still kill you without hesitation."

Also, Guide Beslia, I warn you not to go into the area under the jurisdiction of Yuri Ruda White Tower.

"If she, an S-rank guide, can do it, then I, an SSS-rank guide, can do it even more." Bethlia protested, wondering why they always forbade her from entering the circle.

If Shu Zao can handle it, her presence might solve the problems in all four areas.

With such powerful abilities, why can't she use them!

"She's an S-rank special guide! A special guide's strength can't be measured solely by their rank. Based on my prediction, you might not be able to defeat her."

It's a huge loss for whoever loses.

"What is her ability?" How could she be so strong?

"Ask her, and if she tells you, tell me too." He still had a lot to learn about Shu Zao's abilities.

All he knows right now is that Shuzao's ability can make her stronger for a short period of time, lasting 144 seconds.

But whether you know or not, Shu Zao can forcefully activate his abilities.

"So, you didn't send Beslia to provide support in Yuri Ruda White Tower back then, right?" Is he playing himself again?

Mingye didn't hide anything, and without explaining clearly, Shuzao would have even less control: "We used to treat her as the last resort for the White Tower and the central city, and we wouldn't use her unless absolutely necessary. The anxious look on my face when things went wrong wasn't an act."

Even if the pollutants escape from inside and retreat to the central city, there is still a glimmer of hope.

You can't kill them, but you can drive them away.

"I wasn't wrong back then, Mingye. You killed them. To be precise, it was your weighing of the pros and cons that killed them."
