Chapter 625 Twin Towers

Yun Zhao: "..."

It seems that in Kerry's worldview, nothing has more serious consequences than his mother finding out.

Upon first hearing the news about her mother, she didn't know how to describe her feelings.

Yun Zhao attempted to depict the image of a mother who was both incredibly powerful and incredibly distant, whom he had never met.

But I couldn't piece together a clear picture of a face in my mind.

Like a gift that has been carefully treasured but never opened, guarded by its beautiful packaging, yet completely unaware of its contents.

Longing and disappointment intertwined, gripping her heart tightly.

Yun Zhao took a slow breath, calming her surging emotions. Now was not the time to indulge in these thoughts; she still had many questions that Ke Li needed to answer.

"Dad hasn't come back. Has he really been arrested, just like that woman said?"

Regardless of the local laws, murder should be a serious crime.

He kills without restraint, and even if his mother holds a government position in the federal government, she probably can't protect him.

This made Yun Zhao a little worried.

“He can’t be held in a federal prison.”

Kerry waved his mechanical arm. "Master is an SSS-level Dark Guide. Even in the Federation, Dark Guides of this level are extremely rare."

"As for murder..."

Kerry shook the pink bow on his head: "Master only gently 'pushed' their mental landscape, who knew they were so fragile that they collapsed on their own?"

That makes her dad sound more like the villain!

Yun Zhao's feelings were complicated. "Then why hasn't he come back yet?"

Kerry was confused for a moment. "I don't know. This place is too remote. There's no way to contact the owner."

This is the first question it cannot answer.

There are too many uncertainties involved. The universe is vast and dangerous, and the distance is so great that it has no idea what the situation is like on Yun Jue's side.

Yun Zhao felt disappointed for a second, so he had to change the subject.

She thought of the twin towers under construction at the base and asked, "Were the blueprints for the twin towers leaked out?"

Kerry replied, "Yes, the Twin Towers are a very important symbol in the Federation. The owner once gave the blueprints to one of the natives here, but given the technological level of this planet, they could not possibly replicate them."

Yun Zhao was somewhat surprised; she had thought the information had come from the red-eyed man.

After all, it's impossible for the twin towers to appear in the territory of the red-crowned cranes to be a coincidence.

Yun Zhao asked, "Since it's an important symbol, where did Dad get the blueprints?"

Kerry: "Stolen."

Yun Zhao: "..."

"The master is used to being a loner and doing whatever he wants. He didn't want to join the Guide Association in the first place. It was those people who kept pestering him and made a bunch of promises that made him reluctantly agree."

Kerry said matter-of-factly, "Since we're going to run away, it's only right that we take some things with us."

Having been rendered speechless too many times, Yun Zhao is now completely unfazed.

It's hard to imagine how her mother could have fallen for her father in the first place.

Could it be because of that face?

"Ah, little master, it's time for the physical examination that the nanny has scheduled for you."

Kerry suddenly moved and slowly slid towards the wardrobe. "You need to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm your health so that I can record your growth diary."

Yun Zhao did want to go to the hospital for a checkup, but she still had many questions to ask.

"No rush, tell me first why the Twin Towers can't be replicated?"

"Great job, little master! The smartest children are those who ask questions!"

Yun Zhao, now an adult: "...Has your programming always been like this?"

She felt awkward being praised incessantly by a robot.

"No, it's because after the little master was born, the master said that children should be praised a lot, so he modified my program. Hmm, my height was also modified."

Kerry opened the wardrobe, took out a blue princess dress, and held it up against herself. The dress seemed too small.

The little master can no longer wear them.

However, answering the child's questions is more important.

The robots were very patient. They took out the clothes and threw them away, replying, "Because the Twin Towers have a very special structure, the towers can absorb spiritual power and black seeds, converting the two forces of darkness and light, which requires strong spiritual power to support them."

“Two towers require at least several S-rank or higher guides to maintain them. Even if they find the materials and build the towers according to the sequence, they simply won’t be able to find enough guides.”

"The genetic level on this planet is generally very low; there isn't a single S-class guide."

In Kerry's eyes, Yun Zhao wasn't even from here, so naturally he couldn't be counted.

"In the Federation, the human race's genes have long been stable, and they receive various vaccines during their growth stages to maximize their potential. But the people here don't have these. Even the initial samples of inhibitors were just given to them by their master."

Yun Jue let something slip through his fingers, and it took people decades of research to mass-produce the inhibitor.

Moreover, ordinary sentries simply cannot afford them.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Earth being too backward.

This made Yun Zhao feel very bad.

She grew up here, breathing the air and drinking the water, struggling to survive in the wasteland just like the other people here.

Her roots have already taken hold in the "backward" wasteland.

She could deeply empathize with people's suffering, struggles, and faint hopes, and understand the powerlessness of being inferior.

Yun Zhao pursed her lips and walked to the small sofa next to her to sit down.

"Then you should also know about the gatekeeper."

"I know, it's a product of being corrupted by their own obsessions and the black race. They can obtain 0.1% to 1% of the Eye Shadow Clan's consciousness and use it in the materialized spiritual world."

Kerry cleaned the wardrobe, answering as he worked, "It's a failure. The failure rate on this planet is pretty high."

Yun Zhao's heart sank. "What will happen if we succeed?"

Kerry, holding a pile of princess dresses, replied, "They will be transformed into food for the Shadow Clan, or grant them eternal life, but the price is quite high."

cost?

Will there be a huge price to pay for achieving immortality through dark matter...?

"People here have a misconception that eliminating the polluted area will end everything."

Kerry said, "Eliminating the gatekeeper is like cutting off the very top of a wildly growing weed. It may temporarily clear a safe area, but the Black population still exists and may even grow and spread faster due to the lack of restraint, giving rise to more twisted and unpredictable 'new weeds'."

"Human cleanup efforts are never-ending."

It added, "By constantly treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, new contaminated areas are constantly being created."

Yun Zhao whispered, "Everyone has already noticed..."

"Really? Little Master is amazing!"

Kerry automatically understood that she included herself in the "everyone" she was referring to, so it threw all the princess dresses outside the door and called the nanny robot to come and clean them up.

"It's time, little master, let's go to the hospital!"

Yun Zhao hummed in agreement, unzipped his backpack, and took out the crystal from the box. "There's one last question."
