Ni Ji killed the Minister of Finance, took his ID card, and walked down the narrow secret passage.

I unexpectedly discovered that the space inside was much larger than I had imagined, and it was clean, tidy and beautiful.

This is a huge space hidden at the top of the White Tower. It is located almost directly below the Royal Palace where the Queen lives.

After exiting the secret entrance, there is a long arc-shaped corridor in front of you, with spotless white walls, bright lights on the roof, and soft music playing in the corridor. On both sides are colorful children's rooms with toys.

It looks a bit like some kind of kindergarten.

If it wasn't for Luther's message on the paper, Ni Ji wouldn't have known that there was such a secret world hidden inside the White Tower, so high up.

Of course, only here at the top of the tower, where only a few people use dozens of floors, can such a large space be secretly set up without being noticed by passers-by.

It's like a secret base hidden inside the tower. Huge, secretive, quietly nurturing something.

The sentry's keen hearing allowed him to hear many subtle breathing and talking sounds.

Those voices sounded fast-paced and energetic, like those of some children.

The corridor is circular and has several floors.

Going deeper and deeper, Ni Ji saw some young children living here. These children were all guides.

Ni Jixing walked very carefully and stealthily, suppressing all his emotions and mental fluctuations, without making any sound.

He was born to be a soldier who was very good at concealing his mental fluctuations. After being with Lin Yuan, his ability in this regard was further improved under the promotion of Lin Yuan's strong mental strength.

But those children seemed to be unusually sensitive. When the distance got closer, there would always be some children who looked puzzled and looked towards where Ni Ji was hiding.

This forced Ni Ji to slow down, stop moving from time to time, lie in wait for a moment, and wait for the children to relax their vigilance.

Very strange.

Why are so many children being raised in secret at a place like this, at the top of the White Pagoda?

Don't all the guides in the country live in the Guide Academy at the bottom of the White Pagoda?

The environment here is not bad, with a garden full of flowers, a beautifully decorated playground, and patient and gentle teachers taking care of the children.

Most of the children had happy and innocent smiles on their faces.

Soft music, gorgeous flowers, artificial sunlight, pure white walls, kind teachers, and laughing children.

A beautiful place like paradise.

Why would such a place be hidden secretly at the top of the White Tower, with only very few royal family members having ID cards to enter?

If it weren't for Victor's fat head that had been completely destroyed, Ni Ji would have wanted to go back and knock open his brain to find out what was going on.

Among those singing and dancing children, Ni Ji saw a familiar face.

A girl who used to come to my building to deliver coal briquettes and later became my guide.

The little girl of six or seven years old is no longer the dirty and thin girl she used to be.

She washed her face, combed her hair into two neat braids, and wore a beautiful white dress. She sat in the corner, holding a doll that the teacher had given her.

But she didn't play happily like other children.

There was no expression on his slightly freckled face. He just followed the teacher's instructions and behaved like other children. His eyes were mature and calm, which was not expected for a child of six or seven years old.

Even at one moment when Ni Ji was looking at her, her eyes clearly looked towards the place where Ni Ji was hiding.

His eyes were cold and sharp, concealing a strength that was inconsistent with his age.

Ni Ji avoided her sight and listened for a moment, but heard nothing.

The child clearly saw him, but remained silent.

Ni Ji still clearly remembers the scene when she was taken away.

In order to take care of her sick grandfather, the young girl had to hide the fact that she had transformed into a guide.

But when she returned home, she found that her grandfather had died in the dark and narrow hut.

Afterwards, Ni Ji had entered the house to check. The grandfather's death was not due to normal causes, but was caused by someone else - in order to make the child willingly go to the White Tower, someone used the most despicable means.

I didn't expect to meet this child here.

What's more, I didn't expect that after this orphan girl with no relatives was sent to the White Tower, she was not sent to the Guidance College at all, but was secretly hidden here.

The pure white tower is a symbol of the empire's purity. In fact, there are many unknown secrets hidden in this huge tower.

Ni Ji walked further forward, going deeper into the center of the entire area.

Luther drew the intersection here on the note and told Ni Ji that this was the only place the Queen paid attention to and valued.

Only if this place is invaded can Her Majesty the Queen leave the palace.

The bustling school is very quiet deep inside, with circles on all four sides forming a hollow patio.

When the world gets here, all colors have faded away, leaving only white.

The walls, stone pillars and ground here are all as smooth as jade, pure white and spotless.

There is a strange sense of sacredness.

Ni Ji chose a deserted place and drew out the black long sword he carried with him.

In order to hide his identity, Ni Ji put down his conspicuous red sword and chose this black sword from the shelf in the house.

The blade of this knife is straight and wide, and the edge is frosty. It looks like a normal cold weapon that is extremely sharp.

But when Ni Ji inserted it into the ground, several vivid eyes opened on the dirty black blade.

Those eyes were blinking, wandering up and down the blade, making strange sounds.

{Hey, are you sure you want to do this?}

Ni Ji took a look at it and gave an affirmative answer.

{That woman is scary, I don't want to face her}

"What kind of reward do you want?" Ni Ji said calmly.

Having obtained these strange weapons from the contaminated area for many years, Ni Ji is very familiar with their different personalities.

The red demon sword only needs his blood, and blood can be obtained at any time as long as the person is still alive. It is the easiest thing for Ni Ji to satisfy.

This black long sword is the most troublesome. Ni Ji really doesn't want to use it unless it is necessary.

{Hey, then I want to watch killer whales kiss for three minutes.}

Veins popped up on Ni Ji's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Change it."

{Okay, I want to see you tied up by a Kraken. I haven't seen her in person yet, but the red tentacles must be fascinating.}

Heidao's characteristic feature is his eyes, and his hobby is looking at some strange and bizarre pictures that suit his mood.

Ni Ji narrowly took back the knife.

{Okay, okay, you are so young, don't get angry at the slightest provocation. Don't you like it too?}

The eyes on the black blades blinked and murmured complaints.

{You owe me this. I will think about what kind of reward I want after I return.}

…

After the explosion, Her Majesty the Queen sat on the throne in the palace, looking comfortable as usual, and did not really take such a minor incident to heart.

She sat back and waited for Luther to bring her news.

Until a certain moment, she seemed to suddenly realize something and stood up from her position.

She left Lin Yuan and the sentries on guard in the hall and walked down the long stairs alone, dragging her clean white skirt.

"Your Majesty has actually left the palace."

"I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing."

After the queen left, the sentinels in the hall seemed to have some human expressions on their dull faces.

A few people quietly cast their gazes towards the cage in the corner, with a hint of pity in their eyes, and whispered to each other in a very low voice.

"Ji Xuan..."

"Adjutant Ji is actually a traitor?"

"It's just hard to believe."

"Pfft, stop talking about this, save your brain for eating."

Lin Yuan heard the name Ji Xuan.

She didn't know this adjutant, but she had heard this name several times from Ni Ji.

"Adjutant Ji and I saw something about your parents."

"You must be careful. Tell me that Her Majesty the Queen is in danger."

"Ji Xuan applied for a bonus for me, so I'll bring you some candy."

It was him.

He is a rebel and a bandit.

The explosion and the movement below might be because his companions came for this person.

Lin Yuan walked towards the corner where Ji Xuan was imprisoned.

The sentries guarding the hall greeted her with a smile. Knowing that she was a favorite of Her Majesty the Queen, they all affectionately called her Guide Lin.

"Your Majesty taught me something, and I would like to give it a try." Lin Yuan said.

The young and beautiful guide had a porcelain-white face, slender arms, a gentle voice, and a harmless look.

No one would be on guard against her.

The sentries all looked at her with smiles.

A hint of gold lit up in the depths of the petite guide's eyes, and she stretched out her white fingers and snapped them.

The sentinels' expressions were confused at first, and then gradually became dull.

Lin Yuan turned her snow-white finger, and they turned around in the direction of the finger, left the vicinity of the cage, and walked numbly in the other direction of the hall.

Originally, it might not be so easy to invade the spiritual world of the Sentinels.

But in today's world, except for the few sentinels who often cooperate with Lin Yuan, most of the sentinels are defenseless when facing the guide.

They had no intention to defend themselves against the invasion of the Guide's spirit. In their eyes, the Guide was still a weak and gentle being with no ability to attack.

The sentries in the hall were easily influenced by Lin Yuan's mind and left the cage they were supposed to guard, leaving Lin Yuan alone here.

Lin Yuan sent the guard away and looked down at the dark cage in front of him.

The metal cage was cold and dark. The tortured prisoner lay powerlessly gasping for breath in his own blood and sweat.

He looked like he was almost dying, his mental picture was collapsing, and he had entered a stage of frenzy.

The reason why the queen left without any precautions was probably because she knew that even if her companions tried to rescue her at all costs, it would be in vain.

Ji Xuan in the cage opened his eyes wide, staring at the top of the cage with empty eyes, half of his glasses resting on his bruised nose, tears flowing uncontrollably and some very faint moans coming from his throat.

No? No matter how good a person he once was, he has been completely destroyed now.

Lin Yuan even knew how that process was accomplished. The mental force entered the brain and tore the human soul apart and shattered it alive.

Cruelly tortured repeatedly until he loses his human form, loses control, and completely slides into the abyss of turning into a beast.

"Hey." Lin Yuan squatted down and called him, "Can you still hear me?"

Lin Yuan put his arm through the railing and tried to put a little mental energy into his mental picture.

His mental picture had been completely destroyed and he was almost unable to react.

Sometimes it is like this: in the face of absolute power, all resistance and struggle seem powerless, even for the strongest people.

In the muddy cage, only the broken butterfly wings were still struggling and trembling slightly, as if unwilling to give up.

After a while, with the fluttering of the butterfly wings and the soothing of Lin Yuan's spirit, Ji Xuan seemed to have forced himself to solidify a little will. His eyes moved slightly and looked towards Lin Yuan outside the cage.

He tried hard to open his mouth several times, and finally made a very hoarse sound.

"Can you...can you kill me? I don't want to experience it again."

Lin Yuan also felt that it would be the best option for him to die during this opportunity.

Many times, when human power is unable to take any action, the correct thing to do is to make rational judgment.

So she would be sensible enough to leave Ni Ji there and go with Teng Lu alone. She would seriously consider eating the meat of the little monster when it begged desperately.

Maybe helping him get rid of it is indeed the best option at this moment. Lin Yuan thought so. At least she had a way to make him lose his will without noticing the pain.

She stretched her fingers into the dark cage, looking at the sentry's eyebrows, wanting to press down, but she felt like a piece of lead in her heart, pressing heavily on her.

The remaining butterfly wings on the ground fluttered violently.

"Don't give up, help my brother."

A voice suddenly rang clearly in my mind.

"Help him."

"Please."

That is a kind of spiritual fluctuation that is unique to a guide.

Where could a guide come from besides myself in this place? Lin Yuan looked around blankly.
