Bai Yan is embarking on the Moon Witch’s introductory mission.
The game presented in this mission was no longer in pixel art style, and the Moon Witch was not portrayed as a 3D model.
In fact, the game style was quite rare-a live interactive movie format.
Simply put, it was similar to "The Invisible Guardian."
Through a large projection screen, Bai Yan sat inside the Babel Tower. He looked up and could clearly see the Witch, who was now frozen in shock and unable to move.
Long time no see.
Bai Yan couldn’t help but smile when he saw her, recalling the days when she used to eye him with intensity, making him feel nervous and uneasy. He also remembered the various embarrassing moments she had experienced after transforming into a cat.
Making the bad woman eat humble pie, he found it quite amusing.
"Ah, at last, as you wished, Miss Witch. You have always wanted to join the Babel Tower. Sadly, I had bad luck and could never fulfill your wish… I truly feel sorry, but now, I can finally keep my promise.""So…"
"How do you feel now?"
Muttering to himself, Bai Yan pondered that perhaps joining the Babel Tower wouldn’t be the same as Merete Chambers had imagined.
He saw Miss Witch standing in the mayor’s office through the projection screen, her graceful figure clad in a black evening gown, unmoving.
And on both sides of her, four large "bubbles" appeared out of nowhere.
Inside the four "bubbles," there were words written in black font. If you looked closely, you would discover that they were actually… options for a game.
Bai Yan took a glance at the task prompt in the upper right corner of the projection screen.
"Headed towards the outskirts of Stone Bridge City, to solve the upcoming ‘sacrifice’ event in Clear Water Village."
"Countdown: Three hours."
Well, it doesn’t seem like a very difficult task. Dealing with incidents like this is just a common daily occurrence for Babel Tower.
So he carefully looked at the four game options again.
"Option one, let’s go to Clear Water Village immediately."
"Option two, let’s first investigate the news about Clear Water Village."
"Option three, send someone to Clear Water Village to search for relevant information."
"Option four, stand still and wait for the bathroom."
After reading all the options, Bai Yan felt a little exhausted to make any comments… Hey, hey, hey, option four doesn’t seem quite normal, no matter how you look at it.
To be honest, he became more and more convinced that the Babel Tower had a will of its own.
From the moment the Babel Tower refused to let him in, Bai Yan felt that something was off.
Later, Bai Yan discovered that the Babel Tower game would sometimes be very mischievous, making him feel that both the Babel Tower and the Babel Tower game were never just emotionless machines, but rather some kind of special beings with intelligence.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come up with such silly game options.
However, Bai Yan was able to confirm one thing.
Even if Babel Tower had self-awareness, it could not control the Babel Tower game. Only the person playing the game, the "player" themselves, could manipulate the course of the game.
He was undoubtedly the Lord of the Tower himself.
"Um, then let’s just choose the fourth option… um, just kidding."
Bai Yan muttered to himself as he gave up on playing pranks. Then, he didn’t rush, but instead chose the third game option.
It turned out that the witch had stayed in Belan World for a hundred years, secretly building her own influence, all in order to obtain information about the mythical rituals and legends of the Ultimate Ritual.
The secret organization "Hidden," led by the public figurehead "Samoyed," is the powerful force manipulated by her, and it has infiltrated various parts of World, directly and indirectly influencing many local governments and major corporations.
Basically, in some stories, "Hidden" is qualified to be the main antagonist, and Samoyed is the ultimate boss, while the witch serves as the hidden level boss.
By the way, over a hundred years have passed, and Samoyed, who originally only possessed awakening-level power, has now ascended to the position of Crown, and has even reached the level of becoming the ruling Crown.
After Bai Yan selected the third game option, the witch in the picture also began to move.
"Enjoy the experience, feel what it’s like to be a member of Babel Tower. It’s been your dream all along, hasn’t it?"
—
Merete Chambers wasn’t feeling very nervous.
Miss Witch, she had left World of Noah for over a hundred years, slowly coming to accept the fact that she had no chance with Babel Tower.
But now, suddenly, she was "captured".
That Savior didn’t forget themselves.
Perhaps, the guy called Bai Yan also didn’t forget about himself.
Whenever she thought of Bai Yan, even the calm and composed witch couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.
That guy, oh…
Is he dead or not?
She knew how powerful the Savior of Babel Tower was, with a strength that rivaled the gods themselves. She realized that she could never defy it.
Since she couldn’t resist, she decided to simply lie down and accept it.
She didn’t mind being controlled by the Savior.
Facing a much stronger presence than herself, Merete Chambers had always willingly submitted… She even felt that this situation was a natural and expected occurrence.
In her eyes, there was always only one type of relationship in this world.
Control and being controlled.
Whether it’s parents and children, bosses and subordinates, or couples in love, there is always one side in a dominant position. Even among ordinary friends, the same is true.
There will never be absolute equality between the two.
There will never be a truly equal relationship.
If one day Merete Chambers could become even stronger than Babel Tower, she would not hesitate to overthrow the Savior and transform them from an overpowering figure into her own obedient pet.
The witch smiled cheerfully, showing no signs of fear.
Hehe, let me experience it first.
What does it really feel like to become a dog Savior?
Among all the Core Operators so far, "Moon Witch" Merete Chambers undoubtedly had the happiest and most willing mindset when joining Babel Tower.
Soon after, she discovered that her body started moving involuntarily.
The feeling was magical.
She felt as if she were a spectator of her own "body".
This body no longer belonged to her, but to the Savior of Babel Tower.
She could feel that an invisible chain had already bound itself around her neck, harsher and more ruthless than the "collar" Bai Yan had given her, filled with malice.
Perhaps, she would never be able to take it off.
At least, she wouldn’t be able to do this until she became a god.
Is this the price of joining the Babel Tower?
The witch fell into deep thought, continuing to observe the movements of her body.
She walked up to the window, reached out her hand, waved her fingers, and gathered them into a white dove.
This dove will fly to deliver a message to Samoyed, asking her to investigate the situation in Clear Water Village.
Clear Water Village?
Merete Chambers had heard of it, but she had never paid much attention to or investigated it. She couldn’t understand why the Savior of the Babel Tower would be so interested in this place.
She tried hard to remember everything she knew about the Babel Tower.
Hmm, she had a rough idea.
It was simply a case of meddling, that’s all. The Babel Tower had a tendency to meddle, always getting involved in various crises and events. This time was no exception.
There was a crisis in Clear Water Village, and they were arranged by a remote-controlled Savior to resolve it. That’s how it happened.
Merete Chambers was extremely intelligent. She easily deduced the truth of the current situation. Then, she calmly squinted her eyes, watching the scene unfold as if she was in a play, completely unfazed by the feeling of being manipulated.
Compared to the inexperienced Mu Ling, Maryse, and others at the beginning, her attitude truly became elevated to an unknown level.
After a while, Samoyed came rushing over.
"Master, I have arrived."
The blind girl knelt on one knee, obediently bowing her head, afraid to directly meet the gaze of her inscrutable master.
She still had short, white hair, but she was no longer wearing that down jacket. Instead, she was dressed in an extremely glamorous white evening gown.
Thirty minutes ago, she was attending an important dinner, where all the participants belonged to the upper class of Belan World.
Samoyed, on the surface, was a prominent figure in the upper echelons of Belan World’s society. She had the power to decide the fate of thousands with just a word. However, secretly, she was also the leader of the mysterious organization called "Hidden," commanding the loyalty and adoration of countless individuals.
But in front of the witch, she was nothing at all, if one were to say, she was just a dog.
Every time Merete Chambers smiled and stroked Samoyed, she would tremble instinctively.
The witch was too scary.
She had witnessed the terror of this individual. Anyone stronger than her would crumble, be destroyed, and even suffer a more tragic fate than death as a result of a series of conspiracies.
This woman could, through observing people’s every move, fully understand a person’s character and…weaknesses.
However, even Samoyed could never have imagined one thing.
The master whom she had feared for centuries, the witch who stirred up the storms in Belan World, the hidden boss behind the scenes, at this very moment, had already become a "slave" to the Savior of Babel Tower in a higher position.
He couldn’t even move a finger!
Samoyed said immediately,
"Master, is your destination Clear Water Village? I have arranged for people to investigate, and they should soon bring back information. I will organize the relevant intelligence for you."
The witch pondered and suddenly realized that her mouth was moving.
She involuntarily made a sound, even though she had no intention of speaking.
"You did very well, my Samoyed."
After speaking, she started stroking Samoyed’s fur, and the young girl allowed her owner to play with her.
"This is what Samoyeds should do, master."
To my surprise, she could even imitate my own voice… Merete Chambers suddenly had a terrible, malicious conjecture that none of the other Core Operators had ever experienced before.
Is there a possibility of this happening?
In fact, all members of Babel Tower are permanently trapped in the same situation as themselves.
Their true souls are imprisoned, every move and action of Babel Tower members they have encountered is a performance simulated under the remote control of the Savior!
If it is indeed the case, then one’s soul is essentially completely sealed.
Even if "Merete Chambers" could become a god because of Babel Tower, the real self wouldn’t have any reason to exist anymore!
Until this moment, deep inside the calm and composed witch, there arose a small sense of nervousness and fear.
She gazed at Samoyed before her and spoke automatically:
"Okay, let’s continue investigating Clear Water Village."
Oh no, this is bad. I hope it doesn’t turn out this way.
