All this happened in just a few breaths. When Luo Xue took out the metal dagger, the dark blade had already landed on Night Owl.
Celis calmly controlled Night Owl's nerves, allowing him to withstand this wave of attacks with the least possible injuries, barely hanging on to life.
When Chen Ting was about to launch the next wave of attack, Luo Xue's childish voice came from the side.
"All day long—"
In an instant, gorgeous falling flowers seemed to float in the sky, circling and dancing, covering the entire battlefield.
And Luo Xue appeared beside Chen Ting among the falling flowers, holding a dagger.
The fallen flowers and the girl together form a beautiful and picturesque scene.
The next moment, murderous intent was evident.
"--fly!"
Every falling flower attacked Chen Ting with terrifying murderous intent, and even those walking in the shadow world could not completely avoid it.
Chen Ting was forced to flee far away in an instant to avoid the range of the Flying Flowers of the Sun.
She had a strong premonition that if she was hit head-on by Jinri Feihua, her life would be in danger - after all, Chen Ting was not a warrior and did not have many means of defense.
"thump--"
As Luo Yong's huge body fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, this short battle came to an end.
When the smoke cleared, both the inexplicably appearing sisters and the Night Owl had disappeared without a trace.
"They...ran away with Night Owl?" Luo Yong covered his injured arm, his face darkening, "Damn it, it's all my fault..."
"Night Owl can't survive. The dark blade has pierced his heart."
Chen Ting shook her head, her graceful figure emerged from the shadows, looking at the empty ground, and said lightly,
"But... before he dies, will he tell the fatal secret to his savior?"
Chapter 141: Crazy Action, Dilemma
"Phew, I guess I've gotten away with it."
Celis twisted her wrist symbolically, as if she had just moved the Night Owl herself.
But it was not the case. Night Owl's nerves were completely controlled by her. He fled the battlefield at an unimaginable speed in an almost overdrawn manner.
The price was also obvious. When Celis released her control over his nerves, Night Owl felt the most excruciating pain he had ever felt in his life, more painful than the most terrible torture.
What was even more terrifying was that Celis had severed the nerve connection to his throat in advance, so he couldn't even shout out.
Luo Xue followed closely behind the two of them, and taking advantage of the remaining power of Jinri Feihua, she successfully made Luo Yong and Chen Ting lose their target.
Led by Celis, the three came to an inconspicuous corner and entered a standard beehive house.
"Hey Miss Guijiao, don't move, let me check your injuries."
As soon as she entered the house, Celis quickly moved closer to Luo Xue, wanting to check her hands.
It is impossible to catch a full-strength attack from a level 7 warrior in his strongest form with bare hands without any damage, even if you are also a level 7 warrior.
"I'm fine." Luo Xue quickly pulled her hands away from Celis's and shook her head. "It's just a minor injury. It will heal soon."
In fact, after blocking Luo Yong head-on, Luo Xue's arms were directly shattered. At least for now, she can't fight head-on against a physical cultivator of this strength.
But soon, Luo Xue used her survival points to repair her hands and was able to stop the attack.
This is much more useful than the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, the main difference is that it is a bit more expensive and it is disposable, which is quite painful.
[Survival Points -30]
[Current survival points: 980]
"fine?"
Celis asked suspiciously.
Could it be that Miss Guijiao is an eighth-level ability user?
That's not right either...
Even if it is a level 8 ability user, the advantage over a level 7 ability user should be that they can transform their form with almost no loss...
Under normal circumstances, there is not much difference between a level seven ability user and a level eight ability user.
"Ahem...Sister, you don't have to worry." Luo Xue touched her nose and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how do you know that there is no one here?"
"The second batch of suspended towers were built uniformly. All structures are similar, especially the lower three floors. Even the location of the houses will not change." Celis answered Luo Xue's question.
"This place is called an emergency shelter. It's very close to the suspended tower engine and can't be inhabited, but people can come in to take refuge in special situations. Maybe it might be useful. Anyway, almost no one comes here normally."
She glanced at the dying Night Owl, raised her fingers, and released Night Owl's control over her throat nerves.
“Ahhh… ah?”
Before Night Owl could finish his scream, which he had been holding back for a long time, he found that the hellish pain had disappeared.
"I have already cut off all the sensory nerves in your body," Celis shrugged. "You're welcome. I'm just worried that you might affect Miss Guijiao's questioning... And you don't have to look at me like that. I'm not a cannibal."
Looking at Celis, who was dressed as a spirited little sister in front of him, a hint of fear emerged in Night Owl's eyes.
terrible...
This woman was playing with his entire nervous system like a toy.
And he could only accept her control and had no power to resist.
"How did you say my name?"
Luo Xue looked at Celis and frowned slightly.
Although Li Guijiao is just a pseudonym, she represents the identity of the Federal Commissioner after all. It is not a good thing to be caught by the No. 132 Suspended Tower.
"He's going to die soon, it's okay." Celis said, showing a look of pity, "The heart veins have been cut off, even the strongest doctor is helpless in this situation... Tsk, that law enforcer is pretty powerful."
"You guys, are you..." Night Owl's pupils shrank slightly, and after a while, he sighed, "Are you also looking for Qualcomm's secrets? No... You won't be able to bear it."
"I'm not sure if what I want to know from you is related to this so-called secret. Even if it is, I must know it."
Luo Xue walked up to Night Owl, who was lying limply on the ground, and looked down at him condescendingly.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that Night Owl had looked at her in the same way, with the same pitying eyes.
Only this time...the identities are swapped.
"go ahead."
Night Owl seemed unaccustomed to being looked at like this, and he looked away.
"In March of the 31st year of the Twelfth Night, you accepted a mission to assassinate someone." Luo Xue said calmly, "What I want to know is, why did you want to assassinate her?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at Luo Xue, his face full of disbelief.
"How do you know about this mission? Are you... from Qualcomm?"
But soon, he denied his guess.
"No, if you were from Qualcomm... you wouldn't come to ask me."
"So, do you know what the real purpose of this mission is?" Luo Xue asked again.
"I know." Night Owl lowered his eyes, "It seems that you really want to know that fatal secret..."
"Hurry up and speak, you don't have much time left." Celis added from the side.
"Are you sure..."
Night Owl still struggled a little bit. After all, these two girls had spent a lot of effort to rescue him, and he didn't want to put them in harm's way.
"What do you think? If we take you away and you die... will the Hanging Tower think it's more likely that you kept the secret before you died, or is it more likely that you shared the secret?"
Luo Xue said dimly, "When you fell into our hands, the suspended tower should have already tacitly acknowledged that we knew this secret."
"...That's true. I told you so." Night Owl sighed in resignation, "The mission back then was to assassinate a child from a gathering place without leaving any trace. The real purpose... was to take away Ling Ling, the daughter of Lingxi, from the gathering place."
Hearing this, Luo Xue showed a slightly shocked expression.
Lingling...is actually the daughter of Lingxi in the legend?
Because there are few children in the gathering place whose parents are still alive, including Luo Xue, so Lingling's situation of being fatherless and motherless is not uncommon.
But soon, Luo Xue suppressed the surprise in her expression and continued listening.
This brief scene caught Celis's eyes, but she said nothing.
"There are many reasons why we have to go through so much trouble to bring back the Lingling. Anyway, killing a few deserters is not a big deal. If they die, they die. Not many people will pursue the matter."
In the last moments of his life, Night Owl calmly narrated the cruel facts.
"Anyway, Ling Ling was brought back to the Suspended Tower and somehow participated in the experiment that her father failed to complete, continuing the research on the awakening potion."
"The research on the awakening potion is not a secret, and the Federation has also received the news." Celis said.
"As for Ling Ling's existence, she was indeed reported in the rebuilt laboratory, and because she was too young, Suspension Tower No. 132 was fined for employing child labor. It's just that they didn't say that she was Ling Xi's daughter."
"You mean, Ling Ling is now in the 132nd suspended tower?" Luo Xue turned her head to look at Celis, her tone inevitably a little nervous.
"Logically, it should be. After the federal government imposed the fine, it ordered Mayor Gaotong to fire Ling Ling, but I guess... he is still continuing his research behind the scenes."
Celis nodded, but there was still some doubt in her expression.
"But...how could a nine-year-old child conduct this kind of research? When Lingxi committed suicide, he had already burned all the information, leaving no files behind."
"I used some...special methods." Ye Xiao's tone revealed his weakness. His heart meridians had been cut off, and he was only relying on Celis's ability to keep alive. "She got Lingxi's memory and thinking. The legendary Lingxi potion...is still being developed."
"The Federation has not completely banned research, but has not openly allowed it." Celis said, "The Parliament is well aware of the value of this drug and how much benefit it will bring once it is developed. It's just that there will be a small price to pay in the process... This is not a fatal secret."
"No, you don't know, the real purpose of his research... The ultimate purpose." Night Owl's mouth curled up slightly in a tragic manner, "Not just any ordinary person can become a superpower user. The original purpose... is to explore the tenth level above the ninth level of superpower users."
"Ok?"
Celis frowned slightly. She wanted to say that it didn't seem to be a big deal, but she still patiently continued to listen.
"Gao Tong is also a person with special abilities, and a ninth-level one at that. This matter should not be considered a secret in the Federation... right?" Ye Xiao said slowly.
Celis nodded.
"But you don't know his ability... Have you heard of 'string theory'? His ability confirmed the existence of 'string theory' and created a device based on it that can change 'string vibrations', but a level nine ability user is not capable of fully controlling it."
Night Owl whispered, "That is to say, Gao Tong wants to...travel through the world. He wants to change the 'string vibration' of the entire No. 132 suspended tower and leave this world full of natural disasters and nightmares..."
"Impossible," Celis blurted out immediately. She had done extensive research on this aspect. "Even if the existence of 'string theory' is confirmed, it is almost impossible to reach another world by changing the 'string vibration'.
"Let's not talk about whether it can be compatible with the basic rules of other worlds. It's hard to say whether there is such a thing as 'other worlds'."
From the previous discussion with Luo Xue on the small aircraft, it can be known that Celis is quite obsessed with this aspect of knowledge and is already one of the people who has the highest level of acceptance of this theory.
Even she thought it was not feasible. If Qualcomm made this plan public, it would never get permission.
Not to mention...
Qualcomm wanted to allow the entire suspended tower to pass through with him.
This is absolutely unacceptable to the Federation. Every suspended tower is the most precious treasure of mankind, and losing even one would be a huge loss.
"It must be reported to the federation immediately."
Celis took out the digital terminal.
"Wait a minute." Luo Xue raised her hand to stop Celis, "I'm afraid this matter...can't be told to anyone now."
"why?"
Celis paused.
"Do you think the Federation will allow Qualcomm to continue its research?" Luo Xue asked.
"Absolutely not. Even the most radical congressman would not allow such crazy behavior." Celis shook her head.
"Based on your understanding of Qualcomm, what do you think he will do once the Federation decides to interfere with his research?" Luo Xue asked again.
Celis was silent for a while, then put down the digital terminal in her hand.
"He would activate the 'string vibration' device immediately, even if it would be out of control."
"By then, the entire No. 132 Suspension Tower will be buried along with his madness." Luo Xue said softly.
This is why Night Owl must never tell anyone about this matter. As long as Qualcomm knows this secret, it will choose to silence him.
