Therefore, in order to prevent such incidents from happening again and again, the suspended towers during the docking period are almost all equipped with fully equipped garrisons and some special equipment to intercept the fleeing refugees.

You know, in this world of scarce resources, the suspended tower cannot support more barbarians, and most of the tower residents are unwilling to lower their quality of life to rescue barbarians who have nothing to do with them.

When Luo Xue entered the range of the tower docking device, the detection equipment issued a warning. The garrison thought that another group of ignorant people were coming, so they came to check immediately.

But when they saw Luo Xue, the two garrison soldiers immediately dispelled their doubts about her identity as a wild man and instead asked Luo Xue if she had lost anything.

No wild man could possess such a beautiful face, and Luo Xue's every move revealed a hint of arrogance.

——After all, she had studied with Li Guijiao for a while. Luo Xue’s Thousand Changes Cultivation Technique had reached 30% of Li Guijiao’s level in terms of imitating temperament.

"Lost..."

Luo Xue lowered her head slightly, and she immediately realized that the Tower City should have some kind of detection mechanism, and she failed it.

There were already many wary eyes cast around, but after seeing Luo Xue's appearance, they all retracted their gazes.

"It seems that one of my small bags was lost in the wilderness." Luo Xue raised her head and replied with a smile.

"I see...it seems like you may have lost your pass."

The garrison soldier showed an embarrassment. "If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll have to wait here for a while and let the gentlemen from the Archives Bureau come over to verify our identities before we can enter the Tower City."

Hearing this, Luo Xue knew that she would not be able to get in. She could only frown slightly and look embarrassed.

"But my mother is still waiting for me to come back for dinner..."

"Oh...Miss, I'm so sorry, but this is the rule. Unless the mayor steps in, it will be difficult for us to make concessions for you."

The two garrison soldiers seemed genuinely worried about Luo Xue, and did not question her identity.

After all, she looked so pretty and well-behaved, and she didn't look like the vicious and cruel savage that people imagined.

"so..."

Luo Xue hesitated for a moment, she was wondering whether to directly use some means to break into the tower city.

To be honest, she didn't really want to.

Although her strength in the Foundation Establishment Realm is considered good, the Tower City probably has many means to suppress her.

Luo Xue estimated that at least in this No. 103 high tower city, one would need a cultivator at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above to refine a comparable magical weapon.

"Soon, miss, we assure you."

The garrison's expressions softened a bit, looking at Luo Xue's embarrassment, and they seemed to be worried about this young girl.

"I will inform Lady Celis right away. She will definitely handle the file issue for you as soon as possible so that you can have dinner with your family in time."

If this Lady Celis really came, she would find that nothing could be right...

But now...it seems that this is the only way.

"In that case... take me there and wait first." Luo Xue nodded and said lightly.

"This way, miss."

One of the two garrison soldiers walked out and led Luo Xue to a certain place in the docking device.

"Once again, I apologize for causing you such inconvenience—"

Before he could stop apologizing, a garrison soldier who looked like the captain hurried over from a distance, frowned and shouted,

"Hey! Wilson, what are you still wandering around for? Those damned barbarians are about to break into the tower, why don't you go over and help stop them? Do you think you have to use the gamma ray cannon just to deal with a few barbarians?"

"Captain, I am now..."

Wilson looked at Luo Xue with a helpless expression.

He leaned over and explained Luo Xue's situation to the captain.

The captain's expression immediately changed 180 degrees. He looked at Luo Xue with a slightly flattering smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, Miss Citizen, I'm sorry to disturb you. Let Wilson take you there first. Lady Celis will be here soon."

Luo Xue said nothing, just nodded slightly, and then didn't look at the garrison troops again.

For some reason, it seemed that even the most ordinary citizens of the tower were afraid to neglect these garrison troops, for fear of offending the tower residents.

Plus they have obviously different temperaments...

Luo Xue already had a vague guess.

These garrison troops were probably...formerly barbarians, but they were blessed by the tower and became the garrison troops of the tower's docking device.

In this case, the more arrogant Luo Xue appears, the less likely she will be suspected.

The captain left soon, leaving only Wilson and Luo Xue to walk towards the office area of ​​the tower docking device.

Luo Xue didn't say another word along the way, and Wilson didn't seem to dare to talk to Luo Xue. After taking Luo Xue to the work area, he left in a hurry.

The structure of the docking device office area is like a honeycomb, divided into small rooms. Luo Xue stays in the most comfortable room among them.

There was a sofa, a coffee table, and even a TV in the room - but the picture quality of this TV was so poor that Luo Xue could hardly see the image and could only hear the sound.

At this moment, the channel seemed to be broadcasting news about the suspended tower. A calm and cold female voice sounded,

"Recently, the Twelfth Night is coming to an end. The Federation is actively preparing for the arrival of the Thirteenth Day. More than half of the tower cities have successfully entered the planned orbit and avoided the route of the natural disaster."

"The civilian scientific research organization 'Starry Sky' issued a statement. The organization claims that it has created a flying vehicle that can break through the 60-unit altitude. The possibility of exploring deep space has come one step closer. The Federation has sent experts to 'Starry Sky' to verify the feasibility."

"The 'Federation Voice' has reviewed again that the awakening of people with special abilities must comply with the law. It is strictly forbidden to privately manufacture, transport, sell, and use awakening potions. The 'Lingxi Laboratory' incident nine years ago is still a wake-up call to the dangers of awakening potions."

"The FBI announced that the 'No. 132 Suspended Tower Explosion Case' has been solved. The No. 132 Suspended Tower Archives Bureau lost most of its data in this case. A wanted order has been issued for the main suspect, Night Owl, who is still at large. We hope that the general public will report him to the city's investigation bureau in a timely manner if they find any trace of him."

"..."

The news report contained a lot of content, all of which were things Luo Xue had never come across before.

These news that the people of the tower can access in their daily lives are out of reach for the people of the wasteland.

Through these, Luo Xue was able to barely establish a concept of the post-apocalyptic world.

First of all, this is a partially developed human civilization. The technology used by the suspended tower is something Luo Xue has never seen in several lifetimes. It is simply unheard of that an entire city with millions of people can be suspended in the air.

But on the other hand, even the most ordinary televisions are so crude, and the pictures are so blurry that they look like they are censored.

Even though the wanted poster had just shown the suspect's portrait on TV, Luo Xue couldn't see the suspect's face clearly. She only knew that he was a tall and thin man.

Luo Xue resisted the urge to go up and tap the TV. She knew that this was the way it was and tapping it wouldn't do any good.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

At this moment, there was a slow knock on the door. Luo Xue subconsciously sensed it, but found that she could sense nothing.

...What's going on?

"Miss Citizen, may I come in?" a soft and tender voice sounded, "I am Celis, deputy director of the ground department of the High Tower Archives Bureau. I'm here to talk about your lost pass."

"Well, please come in."

Luo Xue spoke softly, but she had subconsciously tensed her body.

If we can't reach an agreement, we'll have to force our way in.

Only by entering the suspended tower can you get the opportunity to come into contact with other suspended towers.

The routes between the suspended towers overlap, and they will briefly dock when they overlap, then different suspended towers can travel back and forth.

The docking time depends on the overlapping parts of the routes, which can be as short as a few days or as long as several weeks. This is the main way of communication between the major suspended towers.

"Squeak..."

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and a blonde woman with blue eyes walked into the room. She was wearing a smart professional suit that revealed a bit of sharpness, but the perfect simple makeup made her look a lot softer.

The only flaw is that she is a little short in height, only one head taller than Luo Xue.

Celis held a half-opened file in her arms. She looked at Luo Xue who was sitting inside, pushed her glasses, and showed a little surprise.

"you..."

Luo Xue glanced at her.

"You're not a Tower dweller, are you?" Celis put away the file, perhaps because she felt it was unnecessary. "A wasteland dweller? Hmm... not quite. You look weird."

Was he recognized?

Luo Xue did not think about making excuses. The main reason was that her identity would definitely not be in the file. It would make no difference whether she was recognized earlier or later. She was just surprised that the speed of recognition was so unbelievable that her identity was confirmed almost at first sight.

"How did you tell?"

Luo Xue asked curiously.

The other party did not inform the garrison immediately, probably because he had something to say to her, so Luo Xue was not in a hurry.

"Your eyes, young lady, are very expressive." Celis said with a smile, "You are curious about everything around you, which is something a young lady living a comfortable life in a high tower would never have. What makes me curious is your age..."

"You're right." Luo Xue nodded, "I'm indeed not a tower dweller. I should be considered what you call a wasteland dweller."

"You don't have to be so hostile. For people like us, there's not much difference between the people of the tower and the people of the wasteland. You're also a person with special abilities, right?" Celis thought for a moment, and then thought about it carefully before saying, "Is it a detection type of special ability? When I was outside the door, I felt like I was being 'spied on'... You were watching me, right?"

"...You can sense this too?"

Luo Xue was a little surprised this time. What she used was definitely not the so-called superpowers, but the spiritual consciousness of the Immortal Martial World.

Above the foundation building stage, everyone except physical cultivators possesses spiritual awareness, which can detect the surrounding situation to a certain extent.

"Let me introduce myself to you again. I am the deputy director of the ground department of the 103rd Suspended Tower Archives Bureau, and also a non-staff member of the FBI's Group ." Celis said, "In other words, I am also a person with special abilities, a level prophet."

"...Oh."

Luo Xue really didn't know how to respond. Her knowledge of the interior of the suspended tower was limited to what she had just seen on the news.

The FBI should be a department targeting people with special abilities, but as for their classification and level correspondence...she can only say that the only one she had seen before was the assassin in her previous life.

"Heh...it seems like you don't really know much about towers, but that's not a problem." Celis shrugged and said, "Do you want to enter the suspended tower? In fact, people with abilities above level 2 don't need a pass. They just need to report to the FBI and they can enter any suspended tower.

"People with special abilities are extremely valuable to the Suspended Tower. After all, the normal chance of awakening is only 3 to 4 in 10,000. Many professions in the Suspended Tower can only be performed by people with special abilities."

Having said that, Luo Xue naturally admitted it directly.

"If I want to enter the suspended tower as a person with special abilities, what procedures are required?"

"Just follow me. I'm the person in charge of the management of people with special abilities at the FBI." Celis stood up and extended her hand. "I haven't asked for your name yet, Miss."

Luo Xue hesitated for a while, then reached out and shook hands with Celis.

"My name is... Li Guijiao."

Anyway, her current appearance was created by Senior Sister Li, so it should be okay to use her name, right?

Anyway, in the post-apocalyptic world, no one will know Li Guijiao, and it is unlikely that she will come to this world.

Speaking of which, this was the inspiration that Li Guijiao herself gave to Luo Xue...

After all, the fact that Li Guijiao used the appearance and names of the high-ranking officials and disciples of Juexiao Sect to cause trouble left a deep impression on Luo Xue.

"Li Guijiao... a very classical name. Few people would choose such a name anymore. Well, Miss Guijiao, there is one more thing I need to confirm. It is very important."

At this point, Celis's expression immediately became more serious. She said seriously,

"You are not a person with special abilities who has awakened using the 'Telepathic Potion', right?"

"'Lingxi Potion'?" Luo Xue was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have seen this name in the news just now.

"It's commonly known as the awakening potion. It's recorded as the 'Telepathic Potion' in official files." Celis said, "It's quite dangerous for people with special abilities to awaken using the 'Telepathic Potion'. The FBI has been strictly investigating this matter to prevent any unnecessary accidents."

Chapter 133 Do You Think I Am?

"...I've never heard of such a thing." Luo Xue shook her head.

"Are you a naturally awakened barbarian? That's rare." Celis was a little surprised and said, "However, out of prudence, I need to conduct some tests on your reaction to the Lingxi potion. Do you mind?"

"Of course no problem." Luo Xue nodded slightly.

Although she was not the person with special abilities as Celis said, she had definitely never used the so-called telepathic potion.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Please follow me." Celis' smile deepened. "No. 103 Suspension Tower welcomes every guest."

"Can ordinary barren dwellers be considered guests?"

Luo Xue suddenly thought of the barbarians outside the suspended tower, who formed a sharp contrast with the tower dwellers inside the tower city.

"Heh...you really love to tell jokes."

Celis responded with a smile, not making any comment.
