Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 210: Chapter 14: Bai Wu’s Little Sweethearts

That device, which I temporarily call the "Wang Hai Operator," will automatically record the communication according to your network of acquaintances, your level of recognition among people inside, as well as a good feeling degree from low to high

Although those hired mercenaries know the nature of the operator, which came from outside the Tower, it’s a solitary high-ranking mercenary hire, and for some reason, no one seems to be there, the operator seems useless

No one has figured out what that part of the operator could possibly record, they only treated it as a piece of junk

But Bai Wu, on the other hand, seemed to have no feeling that he had found something interesting at the harbor port in the downtown area next to the stalls

The downtown area was still bustling as usual with many people live-streaming, and among them were no shortage of nostalgic folks yearning for the past

Bai Wu didn’t expect to actually find something even more useful than a hundred percent life-saving urine pot or the open-shirt knife, but he did...

It was only a matter of picking out one suitable item to deliver, not choosing the main objective of his Spiritual Possession goods

The reason why he had no choice but to go to Chu Jing, the head of the Six Towers’ Divine Weaponry Warehouse, responsible for replenishing divine weapons, is because most girls don’t like weaponry warehouses

As such, he went to the Harbor District to pick up some bargains

But Jinuyan was indeed a good friend who had helped him a lot

At first, Bai Wu felt that this little paralysis face girl was a little troublesome to contact, being so far back in the queue, but he thought that Jinuyan would be very open-minded if he brought her a gift, unfortunately, he had to pick just one

The painting techniques he taught the little paralysis face girl were actually some clever strategical play

Bai Wu thought that he should go take a look at Jinuyan himself, after returning to his own school district area later on

Then, he could head directly to the brightly lit Courtyard of his wife, but not much longer

Although Bai Wu still had some unfinished business that didn’t allow him to scale the High Tower just yet, and even if he was in a rush to get out, he must wait for a battle, but he could come back anytime soon

...

...

"Remember, this exploration of the zone, just like guarding a bottle’s mouth, each returns to their own homes,"

"What are we going to do now?"

Yin Shuang recognized this method and said,

"Although they have the strength to violently unravel the areas outside the Tower, we cannot act beyond our strengths, let alone what they want us to think. Although they indeed have the strength to surpass the team leader by a class, my team and I will just have to contest them in a gamble. If they follow us out of the Tower next time, there’s no need to worry,"

That’s why Bai Wu said, "Even the Day of Reckoning puzzle might not be known to them, let alone are they Heavenly Eyes or mere watchers, but next time out of the Tower? Maybe we’ll even be a team together, but I’m afraid my regiment will be surveilled and become too orderly,"

Yin Shuang, who was usually so cautious, said, "Being careful is a good thing,"

"I will compose a report of inspection, and as for the actual report compilation, I will do it once in a while, let alone the core secrets that are absolutely not to be revealed to outsiders,"

"What?"

"Since I am now the team leader, I need to add one more rule,"

Bai Wu stopped thinking and addressed Yin Shuang and Lin Haigu, saying,

Definitely a deadly situation if you face the purple zone alone; it’s even better to reactivate Reincarnation

She understood very well that there were extensive zones divided into multiple groups; some zones were very large at times, and very small at others

Yin Shuang was a bit scared afterward

Could these people really be from some sort of a transition domain in the sequence? He even doubted it,

Another "indescribable foundation" emerged from the purple stone... following the entry of three people from the blue zone... The time-traveling journey exceeded no more than four hours, which didn’t add up for an investigator responsible for log entries.

This journey was yet another dangerous one, and Bai Wu had been waiting still, like frost.

As Bai Wu reflected on the increasingly encountered red and black zones, he was also gradually approaching the core of the issue.

"What is that strange thing at the tip-top? If it is supposed to be a pen for us, the high tower can be the fence,"

"What power does it possess to communicate through space and time? What is it, this stone... I did overlook a crucial point, but this sentence from Erleipu’s eyes was my entire focus, even overshadowing that thing at the top of the high tower,"

Bai Wu had overlooked an event, but but he only realized it now, though he had his suspicions about this stone.

"According to the records, that stone seat through which I emerged had already been covered by a curtain, being a stone without transmission capabilities. Also, I don’t even know which zone it leads to,"

Lin Haigu said, looking at Bai Wu who was gazing intently at the immovable stone.

[Indeed, it was probably that thing at the top of the high tower that was actually blocking them, although they served as forward communication stones with the power to breach time and space.]

Perhaps that giant veil obscuring their vision was also a communication stone, surmised Bai Wu as he gazed at it once more, now recognizing some of the information.

Ground floor, East sector, base of the high tower.

...

...

He wasn’t terrified of emotions, nor did he perceive any meaningful anxiety about the future.

Somehow, this place, which could bring along a host of unexpected difficulties, already seemed like a foreseeable challenge to Bai Wu, who had no intention to convey an air of distress.

There must be an Erleipu’s eye somewhere, an opportunity to glimpse the cause, though Bai Wu could not be certain; despite his extensive investigation, he hadn’t encountered any substantial progress or constraints.

At times, just when one crucial piece of information was about to be divulged, the cryptic speaker would suddenly shut himself off, opting for precision in every detail, eyes imparting annotations.

Was Sharp Forest still alive? Bai Wu was suddenly startled.

And there it was, an ancient name... and yet it was merely the ninth name.

"I don’t really have any particular fondness for that green tea,"

Bai Wu hadn’t expected to find him ranked eighth, a sheer improbability. It was Bai Yu, the Tier-Headed Baiyi Bird, followed by Dedan, who casually picked up Bai Wu on his return from the rain. Unexpectedly, this was what caught Bai Wu off guard, making him feel closest to his team of investigators aside from Lin Haigu, who could be kind on the outside, only sometimes.

Bai Wu was the sixth and Bai Yu was the seventh.

After this, he would certainly need to be kinder to Sister Lin. Incidentally, he was the fifth in the rankings, and it was this team who had been mocking him, a good buddy.

Bai Wu locked gazes with Lin Haigu.

For Bai Wu, all of this was purely anecdotal information, of course.

There didn’t seem to be any particular issue with Dedan being somewhat muted in his enthusiasm. Nevertheless, the ultimate choice he made wasn’t to accompany himself back to the tower. While Jiang Yimi was merely contemplating the thoughts of home, the real purpose wasn’t necessarily about that strange figure with the menacing look, which she had been worringly pondering for over seven hundred years, although seemingly she never quite forgot.

"I wish... that these little ’ssobs’ would actually stand up as men in the same robes... hoping to see them outside the tower someday,"

This question was difficult to push aside. Could there really be pure friendship between men and women?

How could he possibly recognize so many girls as his own, within and outside of the tower, when he suddenly felt an ill foreboding?

Bai Wu gave Jiuyan a look over, finding him in the first position aligned with Jiang Yimi, who was fourth.

Again, Bai Wu had some considerations outside.

This time placing second, Bai Wu felt slightly relieved.

She regarded all the good luck as her own doing.

Although in her heart, she really had made many new friends, Bai Wu always stayed a lowly madam in the end.

Who could have thought that Madam Hai had never truly given her heart to men, let alone a smile to a man like her?

Liu Orange was ensnared as well. It’s indeed very hard to make pure-hearted people harbor bad intentions, no matter how deeply.

Having already co-operated with Jiuyan in a plot, Liu Orange had advanced to the point of discussing Jiuyan before even repaying her, which subsequently bound them together, and she could not help but treat Jiuyan as an enemy.

For those who were kind to her, she would reciprocate twice as much, because he was that kind of person, an excuse to be a face-paralyzed cripple.

"This little girl’s head seems really quite interesting to look at... though a bit annoying," he said.

Wang Hai hadn’t expected he wouldn’t be able to catch up with Jiuyan after all, and with such a deep friendship and long queue behind him, he felt a little bit more disappointed than usual.

The same queue had made Bai Wu quite meaningful, but after that mistake, her father no longer existed.

She started checking the communication logs above his name, feeling dizzy for a moment, and Bai Wu hadn’t deleted any messages.

Although such deletions meant nothing, the communication log still had the delete function.

"Is this what they call a love-hate relationship? Including deep-seated hatred or maybe mutual dislike after just one glance?"

Bai Wu pointed her finger meaningfully a few times after pressing the call button, revealing a self-mockery in her expression.

If you want to call, you must provide a code number, and who knows where in a high tower one might have to own a phone, even in the back. If someone only has a name, a prompt for a code would appear upon clicking to call.

There were no code numbers.

This confusion seemed quite inappropriate to him, and Bai Wu’s eyes were complicatedly busy until her face finally settled back down to a calm expression of surprise. freewёbnoνel.com

Bai Wu.

The first name on the list was definitely one he recognized, but he had never thought of it... Maybe it was the dwarf brother or maybe Jiuyan, he had guessed, the first name.

Bai Wu was completely stunned by this sudden glance.

It would be nice to see who was sitting there after all. She found a spot on the ground to crouch, momentarily taken by curiosity, perhaps the contact list contained something interesting.

This queue for her own phone call was quite important indeed, even if the Spiritual Possession items she had discovered didn’t even require charging. She prepared to continue her shopping spree while walking and fiddling with her phone.

He had bought a metal brick, basically spending nearly a hundred bucks like a fool, self-satisfied the peddler was.

Bai Wu had paid for something that seemed like a fake relic of a nineteenth-century peach kernel machine, simple yet definitely carrying a sense of the era.

It was this Wang Hai brand phone she must have, possibly Liu Orange’s, too, which could unfortunately list a whole new friend—a male classmate for value—according to his degree of fondness.

Two Dugus, to put it simply.

One person essentially had no idea how to use the phone, while the other knew perfectly well how to use such a phone but had no use for it, hence hiring mercenaries from this Old Plank’s shop due to no entanglements, Bai Wu had understood.

"You are but a complaining old man! You shouldn’t have bought it, after all! But at least you should know who it is for, even though it seems quite useless at a glance."

Amidst the input mania, there could be an update later, something else. Data provided by the lovely operation manager may form a perfect fit for evil, being somewhat scaring but fun to flip through as if it contained a colorful egg Chapter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~End of this Chapter~~~~~~~~~~~

...Bai Wu faced Jiuyan and laughed out...

At this moment, this surprising affair occurred, leaving Jiuyan stunned.

As soon as Jiuyan heard what was said, he ran out to look, and there was Bai Wu with just a glance.

"Ah, Bai Wu, you came to see me, huh?"

Unexpectedly, at the meeting, Bai Wu caught sight of the meticulously organized hierarchies... something he never even considered in this place.

As soon as Bai Wu stepped into this hospital building, Jiuyan felt Bai Wu’s presence.

"Do you know Jiuyan?"

A certain guest in the room was startled by Bai Wu’s arrival.

Suddenly, the door to Jiuyan’s room opened, unlike before.

Bai Wu’s attention shifted very quickly because of some change; he hadn’t listened for long.

Hearing this, Bai Wu paid special attention to the Time Travelers’ association, which finally connected on the sixth floor, thinking that perhaps by the next month, he would return to the time before...

The seasons changed, the snot turned to tears; the corner that once dripped foolish grins from babbling love stories between a fake nurse and a patient doctor, was now a scene of two senile old men playing chess.

This place was still the same.

Even after he came back to this madmen’s asylum, there had never been a bout of frenzy like the one that had occurred just thirteen minutes earlier.

As a seventh queue leader, he could easily validate his own requests for level advancement and issue certification.

Bai Wu started off towards the third floor, after picking out the perfect gift.

Perhaps a mere tea leaf egg wouldn’t be a definitive indication, that’s exactly why he had this playful idea to fetch some of those artisans’ objects from the third floor, leaving the worthless trinkets of the lowly artist folk on the bottom level.

Bai Wu ended up spending fifty-five starbucks. There really wasn’t anything more fitting than this gift.

] "Let’s call it ’Temporarily Don’t Bother Us.’ Gao Fan wept while watching, Dafenqi was silent after probing, and after witnessing the stunning strokes, my tears flowed. This pen: excluding those incomplete ink strokes that aren’t your intention, it can still reflect the colors that host desires within, speaking the truth! Not a single point above enters into the heart! Look at this pen again, look at some object within your bag that you can’t quite comprehend the Spirit Possession. Look again at this Spirit Possession degree two that could enhance new abilities, although it doesn’t have any arrogance, it does possess this capability? But wouldn’t forever Water Ink also be called an advantage? [

Bai Wu quickly found an item suitable to be a gift in a certain shop nearby and started to wander the streets again.

They have no way to quantify it; especially this thing that is emotional, it’s a joy to even have a name listed for it, let alone the more bizarre criteria that vending machines might also apply.

He wouldn’t feel like these relationships are sham simply because there was no Mrs. Tianshuxun or her short-tempered sister-in-law around, or even any of these people.

Bai Wu put this handheld device into his carry-on bag without much fuss.

"This, in times of crisis, can be entrusted with one’s life. It’s a means of forming connections. Counting backwards, Wang is the third, Qin is the second, after all. That this great relationship has certain specified limits to how wild it can be is proven since not even a hint of Mrs. Tianshuxun’s name or her short-tempered sister-in-law has appeared, no clarity with Qin, no transparency with Lin Haigu..."

She was just someone he had only seen once before, this woman with the transparent chest area.

Bai Wu felt slightly uncomfortable; at the very end of the list, there was just a single Well Six, and there weren’t any peculiar names popping up after that,

all due to another far-fetched birth of a whole series because of it.

Bai Wu suddenly started in astonishment at this thought that had just popped up...

Could it be that he didn’t just stop at the seven-hundred-year-old food street city, not only his connection with Sharp Forest...

...but also his feelings for them were better than those of King Yi’s small business, or possibly he would feel grateful or indebted to him for inheriting his wares later? What if, after all that time, things had been that way initially? Would there still be feelings if Sharp Forest had died?
