"Following your instructions, we have also requested locator permissions from the manager."
Suddenly, the minister sat up straight, his expression unconsciously became serious, and his waist bent subconsciously.
"What did the manager say?"
“This is his approval notice.”
The secretary took two quick steps forward and handed an envelope to the minister.
After opening the envelope and seeing the contents of the notice, the minister's face turned a little ugly, and then a little relieved, but he finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Call Bai Qiulin over to me."
Soon, a thin young man wearing a wrinkled shirt, casual pants, and a somewhat sloppy and lazy temperament came to the minister's private lounge.
The minister did not hide his displeasure at all when he looked at the young man. With a cold face, he slammed the other piece of paper in the envelope on the desk.
"This is the transfer order from the manager. From now on, you will be fully responsible for Feng Zi's escape."
Bai Qiulin scratched his messy hair, picked up the transfer order nonchalantly, and put it into his pocket without even looking at it.
"A red shirt with white socks, you have bad taste, Minister."
"Shut up! You're just a specialist! Watch how you talk to your superiors!"
"I'm sorry, dear Minister, I sincerely suggest that you cultivate your aesthetic taste."
He blew a whistle, then left without looking back, leaving the minister, whose face had begun to turn red but had nowhere to vent his anger, so he slammed the table twice in anger!
The secretary at the side tactfully poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the minister.
"Manager, aren't you ready to officially take over the branch's affairs?" the secretary asked in a low voice.
The minister brought the tea. His anger came and went quickly, or perhaps he was deliberately showing it to the commissioner.
"The seat at the top of the Sunlight Council has always been vacant, and the council is planning to formally confirm this seat on this year's Glorious Festival. Originally, when Feng Zi came, the position was reserved for her, but that ignorant girl chose to go against the entire city."
"Since she is stupid and disabled, there are more options for the council. The manager is also very interested in this position. Otherwise, why has he never come to the company since he came to the Sun, but has been in contact with those councillors and big factory owners instead?"
The secretary looked a little hesitant, but she still chose to ask.
"If the manager becomes a senator, then Commissioner Bai who came with him..."
The minister narrowed his eyes and grasped the secretary's white and tender fingers, and began to play with them carefully with the same seriousness as he had just studied the pocket watch.
The secretary knelt obediently beside him, allowing the minister to play with her hands that once danced on the black and white piano keys.
"Don't worry. I've already asked someone at the headquarters to find out about this Bai. Before he was assigned to the branch, he was an unknown researcher without any connections or background. After the manager came to the Sun with him, he just threw him into the company alone and ignored him, let alone assigned him any specific position."
"Now they've specifically given him the experimental subject matter, asking him to do such a thankless task. It's obvious that they're very dissatisfied with him."
The minister slowly placed his slender, white hands on his lower body, and stepped on the secretary's head with his foot wearing the mocked white socks.
This kind of condescending pleasure and unbridled humiliation made him feel happy.
he sneered.
"Leave it to him. Leave it all to him. I want to see how he will deal with such a thorny and dire situation!"
In the shabby clinic, Levi sat on a small bench bored, listening to the priest he met in the morning, who was wearing a black robe and a star cross pendant around his neck, explaining the church's doctrines to him.
"Twilight is not a specific god. In this era where everyone relies on science to survive underground, even the dumbest people would not place their spiritual hopes on something so illusory."
"The natural rules have become disordered. Humans paid a heavy price to escape from the surface and built rules underground that seemed similar to the past in order to survive, but this was obviously not sustainable."
"No one knows how long we can survive in this kind of human-maintained nature. So in the first year of the New World, the great brain science and psychiatric master, Mr. Chen Pingyi, founded the Twilight Church and became the first pope."
"Twilight, the last ray of sunlight in the evening. The purpose of the first pope's founding the religion was to prevent despair and pessimism from taking over the mainstream of the dungeon. He advocated that after a person dies, a part of the brain nerves should be cut off to maintain the most basic biological activity using biological rules."
"When the neural network is large enough and there are enough of them, a world that exists in consciousness can be created. When the real world enters its final destruction and the survival of living things is completely plunged into darkness, twilight will be activated and human thinking will be reborn in another form."
"In that world, there is no poverty, no hunger, no disparity, and everyone has inexhaustible resources. Human consciousness has entered the Garden of Eden, and in reality, the neural thinking of living things will also be continued."
"This is Twilight."
The white-haired priest spoke very seriously, but he also did not delay in taking care of the patient in front of him whose arm was burned.
Levi glanced at the clouds outside the window that were gradually darkening, and asked casually.
"Then what positive impact does your faith have on the world? If everyone expects the human race to perish and enter the illusory Garden of Eden, who would want to live? At most, you can just burn, kill, and plunder for a bit, then die and wait to move to another place to continue enjoying life at no cost, right?"
"What you do in this world will affect everyone's life in Twilight."
After the priest finished treating the patient's burns, he looked at Levi and pointed to his head.
"Good and bad, kindness and evil, these may deceive anyone else, but they can never deceive oneself. The moment a person's nerves are left behind, his memory will basically have a conclusion about his life. Twilight will use this to judge his form and situation in the spiritual world. Good and bad people will have different appearances, jobs and families, and the most evil people will even be reduced to beasts."
While saying this, he took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to Levi.
"We are not seeking to develop a large number of believers, but if you are interested in the final Twilight, you can come to the church at any time to sign the death and burial treaty. Twilight will not interfere with your life, but is willing to properly preserve your body and nerves."
"I've talked to you for so long because I feel that your image and voice are very good. Recently, the church is preparing to build a choir for the Festival of Glory. You can come and try. If you are selected, you can follow the bishop into the White Tower on the day of the festival and spread the twilight to those big shots. That is a rare opportunity that many people dream of."
After sending out the cards and treating the last patient of the day, the pastor asked Levi to leave, closed the clinic's door, and walked straight out of the border market.
It can be seen that the residents in the border town respect him very much, even the children who have returned home from school will stick around him.
Levi glanced at the card in his hand. There was only an address on it.
[Twilight Church, No. 2, Labor District 18, Yuguang District]
He shrugged, pressed the card with his finger, and flicked it lightly, and the card swirled and flew away.
Not to mention that he would never die, even in reality, he had no interest in such a church.
Although the doctrine does encourage people to be positive and kind, more people will be tamed and become beasts of burden who do not know how to resist or question.
Levi had no ill will nor interest in this, he just wanted to try this strange priest to see if he could trigger any task.
But obviously, the result was nothing.
Just when he was about to turn around and find a snack bar to get something to eat, Fengzi found him with a gloomy look on his face.
"We have to go soon."
Chapter 17 White Tower
Levi didn't show much surprise at her words.
Although she had only spent a short time with the man named Feng Yanyi, she could feel it more clearly than Feng Zi.
He obviously wasn't very happy or relieved that Fengzi found him.
"So where do we go next?"
Levi doesn't care about leaving, the key is to have a purpose.
Hearing his question, Feng Zi turned her head and looked through the dusty glass at the faint light that could only be seen in the distance.
There was also confusion in those blue eyes.
Obviously, when she was escaping from the experimental site with Levi, she had not actually considered what she would do if Feng Yanyi refused to help her.
"If we want to get the Light Stone back, we must find a way to enter the White Tower. But the White Tower is in the center of the city. Usually, only councillors and large factory owners can enter. I heard that the restrictions may be relaxed during the Glorious Festival, but only residents of the Glorious District can enter."
Fengzi clenched the corner of her clothes.
"Although Uncle Feng is trapped in this border city, he still has some connections in the parliament. Originally, I wanted to ask him for help so that we can sneak into the White Tower during the Glorious Festival in a month. As long as we enter the tower, there is hope."
"We can't blame him. The lives of everyone in Border City depend on him. If the parliament finds out about this, it will implicate everyone here."
She comforted Li Wei and said that it was obvious that after being rejected, she did not hold a grudge against Feng Yanyi because of this.
Since she had no resentment, Levi naturally wouldn't say anything.
He glanced at the player information and the extremely simple task about helping Feng Zi. From now on, it seemed that they really had no clue.
There is an obvious substantial status gap between people in this city. The Yuguang District where the workers live is a slum in the true sense, and they have no qualifications or authority to enter the Yaoguang District, which has a better environment and higher quality of life.
Not to mention Fengzi and Li Wei who were wanted. It took them a lot of effort to get on the labor train, and they were even kidnapped into a black coal mine.
Just when Levi was worried about the mission being stuck in a dead end, he suddenly felt that a term Fengzi mentioned sounded familiar and he remembered something.
He turned and looked at Feng Zi with a strange expression.
"What do you think the tower where the light stone is stored is called?"
Feng Zi was a little surprised by his reaction, but still answered.
"The White Tower. That tower existed before the Light Stone was brought to this city by my father. That was the name of the tower before the city was renamed the Sun."
Levi frowned, touched his smooth chin, and muttered to himself.
"What a coincidence? Or is this a specially arranged plot for the mission?"
Fengzi didn't understand what he said, she just blinked and watched Levi talking to himself, then turned around and looked for something in the direction he was coming from.
A short while later, he found the address card in the corner that he had thrown away as a flying saucer.
[Twilight Church, No. 2, Labor District 18, Yuguang District]
Looking at the address on it, Levi shook his head.
He is a person who subconsciously doubts everything and every problem, especially since this is indeed a bit too coincidental, so he actually prefers that the plot was deliberately designed like this. After all, you can't give players a task that is impossible to complete.
Fengzi stood on tiptoe, looking at the card in Levi's hand with curiosity. She was not tall, and when Levi put the thing in front of his face, she could not see anything.
It was not until Levi handed her the address that Fengzi could really see the contents on it.
She said in surprise.
"Twilight Church? Is there a priest who wants you to join Twilight?"
"Not only does he want me to join Twilight, he also said that I am good-looking and wants me to sign up for the choir. If I am selected, I will have the opportunity to follow the bishop into the White Tower during the Glorious Festival in a month and meet those important people."
Feng Zi widened her eyes when she heard Levi's words. After digesting this information, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Yes! When I first arrived in the Sun, I also heard the wives and daughters of those councillors talking to me at the tea party! Every year during the Radiance Festival, the bishop of the Sun Division of the Twilight Church will organize a choir to enter the White Tower to collect donations and funds for the people of the Afterglow District!"
"I originally thought that the choir members were also selected from the Yaoguang District. I didn't expect that the bishop would be so compassionate and open-minded as to select suitable people from the labor force!"
She was quite excited, and the coins jingled in her pocket.
Levi casually put the card with the address on it back into his pocket. He was not as optimistic as Fengzi. Not to mention their current wanted status, whether they had any chance of being selected into the choir.
Just getting back to Yuguang District from the border city is a problem.
The fake ID card was still in his possession, but the news about the coal mine must have spread by now, and Tian'en Company and the police must have figured out his fake identity when he boarded the labor train.
If I continue to go back with this identity, I will most likely be caught in a trap.
Fengzi had obviously thought of this problem as well, and her originally high spirits quickly dropped back to normal.
Just as the two of them were squatting side by side against the wall trying to think of a solution, the Thirteenth Master found them with a serious expression.
"Sir, I told you to leave immediately. The police officers have been waiting in the surrounding factories since they arrived at the border city last night. Now they have received the news and are surrounding this place!"
Hearing this, Fengzi subconsciously grabbed Levi's arm, but Levi just blinked, looked thoughtful, and hesitated for a few seconds before asking.
"The police can't come running?"
The Thirteenth Master was unable to react for a moment to Li Wei's sudden question.
"Of course they drive a police car. You should leave now. If you stay, you will only bring trouble to yourself and the gentleman!"
He comforted them, as if he was worried that the two of them wanted to stay here.
Levi stood up, patted the stolen floral shirt, picked up the black box containing the money and the dagger Feng Yanyi gave him, and no longer worried about how to leave here.
"Don't worry, we will leave of course and we won't implicate you."
Feng Zi had a cold face and said nothing, and stood up with Levi.
Although Feng Yanyi is now in charge of the security of this border town, most of the people who lived here ended up being worked to death in the factories. It was her father who had been leading these people to fight for their rights and status.
In the end, the father died and the things were taken away, but these people were afraid of being implicated, so they forced them to leave.
She respected these people's choices, but she still couldn't accept it in her heart.
