Free Web NovelChapter 64: Chapter 64: Garrison Corps Poaching
"Impossible... no one can move under the combined attack of two talents!"
The rebound from the calming drug caused the giant man’s emotions to fluctuate wildly.
Wu Jiu said,
"Two years before I became the captain of the seventh squad, the most outstanding officers from the Investigation Corps and the Garrison Corps all went missing collectively."
The giant threw another punch, but this time Wu Jiu didn’t just move slightly; he went straight to the giant’s back.
This movement was somewhat larger, making Wu Jiu appear as if he had suddenly vanished.
His voice was ethereal:
"But later, we learned that you might have gone to the fourth layer, to an organization known as the Tower God Society."
In the doomsday era, not only the poor at the bottom were troubled, but the nobles and managers also harbored a certain sense of crisis and worry.
At that time, some people tinkered with the church, trying to use a power that could soothe the anxiety to control some of the upper class.
The Tower God Society, in the fourth layer, is an organization with both a reputation for mystery and fame. They believe in a deity on the sixth layer that blesses humanity, and through various miracles performed by their chairman, they convince people to believe these exaggerated statements.
Many people have heard of its name, and it has netted many experts, but further, deeper intelligence is unattainable.
How many people are in the Tower God Society? What is their financial strength? How many factions do they control? How many experts, and who is the chairman? These details are unclear.
"Is it your chairman who wants to kill me?"
"Die!"
The giant man’s emotions became even more agitated, and Wu Jiu sighed, his figure becoming more elusive.
The effects of Evil Gaze and Phantom Gravity seemed to have been lifted.
"You were once an expert of the Investigation Corps, I will spare your life."
"Impossible... why can you still move?"
Finally realizing the terrifying speed of Wu Jiu, the giant man showed a look of bewilderment.
Wu Jiu said modestly,
"Senior, you indeed have a natural advantage over me. Just like water does indeed overcome fire, but that doesn’t mean carrying a cup of water can extinguish a wildfire."
Indeed, Wu Jiu still harbored a powerful Talent Sequence within him, awakened during the survival battle on the 24th.
In that breakthrough, he encountered an Evil Fallen that could have surely killed him but ultimately chose not to do so.
After being tormented for six days, the Evil Fallen left, but during those first six days, Wu Jiu did not awaken another Sequence, and in his confrontation with the Evil Fallen, he suffered a crushing defeat.
In the subsequent battles, he had not encountered an enemy that required him to use that particular Sequence to cope.
That Evil Fallen, which had tormented him, naturally deserved his full effort in battle.
But the world outside the tower is so vast that Wu Jiu even felt that he might never encounter that Evil Fallen again in his lifetime.
The secret to defeating this former Investigation Corps squad leader lay in the advancement of the Talent Sequence.
On the Talent Sequence list, some talents have advancement effects.
Bai Wu had previously seen that Prayle’s Eye had an advancement effect, but the effect was listed as unknown.
In fact, the advancement effects of most Sequences are listed as unknown.
Because to enter an advanced state, what is needed is both chance and a strong foundation of power.
Talent Sequence 256: Extreme Shadow, advancement effect: increase resistance to slowdown effects by eighty percent.
Sluggishness, petrification, super gravity, muscle softening...
Wu Jiu would experience each of these attributes, but when it came to reductions in speed, he would exhibit an exceptionally strong resistance.
Several cold flashes passed through the air, Lin Wurou didn’t even see clearly what happened.
The giant man knelt on the ground.
Wu Jiu’s knife, pointed at the giant man, said:
"You possess three Sequences, and your power is astonishing. With Innate Force, judging by your speed and strength, you’re close to the sixth rank, a rare master. It’s a pity to serve an organization of charlatans like the Tower God Society,"
"Little Dwarf, what do you know! The chairman is a living godson, how dare you speak of him thus!"
The burly man erupted, throwing punches at the air once more.
Wu Jiu shook his head and, with the flat of his "Evil Fallen must die" blade, struck the giant man again and again, ultimately knocking him unconscious with sheer force.
...
...
While Wu Jiu was being attacked, Bai Wu was also being followed.
But Bai Wu didn’t care. He staggered along, making his way to a bar named "Blue Romance."
To play an lsp, naturally, one would have to visit certain places. But the people of the third level were not as overt as those from the bottom layers.
In some places, what’s ostensibly a bar or a venue for a simple wash and massage is actually a research center for humanity’s ultimate mission.
Of course, Bai Wu, who in his past life had only been interested in various cases, lacked the nose for finding such places.
It was through notes that he could confirm whether these places had hidden services or not.
"[There’s no way I’m drinking. I don’t want to drink in this lifetime. I don’t know how to smoke or perm my hair, only the little sisters in the bar can make me happy. The feeling in this bar is much better than at home, the sisters here are lively, sassy, and I super like it here.]"
Bai Wu quickly found a table and sat down. Not many people went to bars in broad daylight.
The service industry is full of snobbery. It’s like if you go into a shop dressed in rags, the shopping guide won’t greet you warmly but will say, "Don’t touch if you’re not buying." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The large "subordinate" character on Bai Wu’s clothing made the manager feel bad luck was upon him.
But when Bai Wu pulled out a dozen or so of the largest denomination Tower Currency notes, he immediately changed his tune.
For the next while, under the flattering attention of two scantily clad supporters from the second layer, Bai Wu enjoyed sipping his drink and the embrace of a slender waist, in a place with decor reminiscent of the "Touch Bars" of his previous life, as he waited for members of the Garrison Corps to arrive.
Always under surveillance in the Asylum, the purpose was to monitor the patients and to ensure that the progress of the Investigation Corps’ investigations were secure.
The latter was extremely important; naturally, the Gao Ta Town Garrison Corps didn’t want the Investigation Corps finding Yan Jiu’s whereabouts first.
But to the Investigation Corps, this new face was always a variable; fortunately, anyone with a bit of observational skills would notice that this man was lecherous.
Blocking clues was a chess move to strike at the Investigation Corps, but a better method was to bribe the investigator.
Soon, Bai Wu was approached by a member of the Garrison Corps who had come to "recruit" him.
The person who came to talk to Bai Wu had to admit that he was more good-looking than Bai Wu himself.
Even carrying an air of "Prayle’s dawn." Behind this man was a woman wearing a Garrison Corps cap, looking down.
"Hello, my name is Ming Che."
"Who are you?" Bai Wu pretended not to know.
Feedback from Prayle’s Eye did surprise Bai Wu a bit; the identity of the visitor was no lowly matter.
"[The captain of the third squad of Gao Ta Town’s Garrison Corps, known as the precious son of the Garrison Corps, is the most business-savvy person in the entire corps. However, he is no different from Cao Cao, with a penchant for married women.]"
"I am Ming Che, the captain of the third squad of Gao Ta Town’s Garrison Corps. Mr. Bai, I would like to talk to you about joining our Garrison Corps,"
Ming Che went straight to the point, his smile unconsciously making him seem approachable. fгeewebnovёl.com
They’re efficient, knowing my identity so quickly. Bai Wu smiled:
"We serve different masters; there’s nothing to talk about."
"Brother Bai speaks as if we are strangers. One of us is responsible for external affairs, the other for internal, all for the service of the High Tower. How can you say we serve different masters? But indeed, there has always been some misunderstanding between the Garrison Corps and the Investigation Corps. To clear up misunderstandings, I have brought some gifts,"
Ming Che clapped his hands, and the woman standing behind him removed her cap and raised her head, revealing a face that made even Bai Wu pretend to be dazzled.
And... a chest that could topple the deepest loyalties, this impressive asset left Bai Wu’s eyes glued:
"Captain, my apologies, I also want to hate the Garrison Corps, but the offer they’re making is simply too generous."
(This long and hefty double update, it’s not too much to ask for a vote, right!)
