Chapter 116
Xia Zuo hung his head and sat alone in the prison cell which had returned to darkness.
He has the ultimate talent for light, so the prison room will automatically make the environment he is in pitch black according to his talent attributes.
When the boy with short black hair appeared, the lighting in the prison room slowly lit up without anyone noticing.
From the moment the lights came on, Xia Zuo had a vague suspicion that this young man might be able to control the prison's systems. In addition, his features and behavior made him feel a little familiar, so he tentatively called out Xizel's name.
...However, even if that boy was really Caesar, he wouldn't reveal any flaws, just like Christine at that time.
The brown-haired boy slowly buried his face in his palms.
——But compared to all this, what he cared about more was the word "artificial god".
Man-made-God-Ming.
How can a human compare to a god? What price would one pay to forcibly transform a human into a god?
Xia Zuo didn't dare to think about it.
But he couldn't help thinking about it.
When Crest first appeared on the wanted list, and when so many suspicious points pointed to his friend, he always believed that César was not that kind of person. He always believed in his friends, and even if they were not kind people, they would never hurt others for no reason.
But now... he would rather Cesar Crest was a little more selfish, a little more cruel, or he would rather the other party was an evil——
No. You can't think like that.
Xia Zuo told himself that his previous thought was absolutely incorrect. If Caesar were to commit all sorts of evil, he would no longer be the Caesar he knew. This was not the outcome anyone wanted.
The brown-haired boy clenched his hands tremblingly, trying to calm himself down again.
Just now, the person named 0 said that the members of the Crest family were unwilling to gamble the world with the possibility of awakening the gods because the idea was too unrealistic. That's why they decided to sacrifice the last descendant of their clan and transform him into a "god" who could support the operation of the world and stabilize the world order.
But "vague" does not mean "completely impossible".
——He must awaken the gods before Xize is completely deified, so that the throne of the gods in the sky will no longer be vacant, and the process of deification will lose the space to move forward!
The transformation can definitely be stopped, it definitely can.
So is he just going to... sit there helplessly waiting for Zero to send him information?
The brown-haired boy's expression did not change, but he suddenly loosened his clenched hands.
The next moment, the alarm sounded again.
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Detected abnormal energy fluctuations from prisoner 2511-"
Then, just as the cell door opened and the guard entered again, startled and doubtful, the brown-haired boy grabbed his hand with a speed that no one could react to, forcing him to stop as he prepared to leave. He raised his eyes and said with some pain, "I need 2512's dark talent to neutralize it... My innate power is raging, and I can't suppress it anymore..."
The guard's brows jumped, and he wanted to refuse him, but the next moment the talent particle index on the door next to him rose like a rocket.
Guard: “…”
The guard took two steps back with a grim expression, out of Xia Zuo's reach, and then closed the special transparent door - even though he knew that this guy could probably smash it with a punch - and said to the people around him: "Bring 2512 here."
— Damn it, what kind of monsters are these young people these days? Even under such strong suppression in the Eastwood Insane Prison, they can still push their innate powers to the point of a level one riot?
Talent riots were not unheard of in Isvetri. After all, there were many crazy people here, and there were always a few people whose emotions were so extreme that their talents were affected. But in the end, no major problems arose because of Isvetri's absolute suppression of the prisoners' talents, and the riots were at most level two.
But looking at the numbers on the index chart right now, they're almost sky-high...
Soon, the black-haired girl came to the door of the detention room with an expressionless face.
Others cannot read her micro-expressions and eyes, but Xia Zuo, her close friend, can.
Ursula (deadpan): They say you're gifted with riots? You can still be gifted with riots? Don't make me laugh.
Xia Zuo:......
Ursula was not panicked or worried at all. She just wanted to know why Xia Zuo called her here.
You know, although Xia Zuo seems impulsive and doesn't like to use his brain much, he is actually the type of person who least often shows extreme and sharp emotions, not to mention his ridiculously high san value. The fact that he has a natural riot is more reasonable when applied to Ursula.
Xia Zuo let go of his inner thoughts at the right moment. "Because of something that happened earlier... I discovered that the prison cell can read the power fluctuations of innate talents, and the prison authorities take this very seriously. Now that I can resist Eastwood's suppression of me, it won't be difficult for me to pretend that my innate power has suddenly erupted."
"And, Ursula, I want you to help me find someone..."
"A person numbered '0'."
…
Ursula returned to her cell not very happily.
Xia Zuo asked her to help find someone, but he avoided talking about why he was looking for this person. He just said that he had promised not to tell anyone else about their conversation.
Ursula was sure that No. 0 must have said something to Xia Zuo, and it must be about Caesar, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.
She shook off the tentacles that were sticking out from her prison uniform trouser legs in frustration.
But she also had something she wanted to tell Xia Zuo, and she hadn't made a promise to anyone not to tell anyone, so she would still tell him. Otherwise, would she let him trade the information for her?
……never mind.
Since this matter concerns Xize, she cannot be willful. Xia Zuo still needs to know what she needs to know.
As for what Xia Zuo couldn't say, if it really didn't work, she could just ask No. 0 herself!
Both Xia Zuo and she have extreme light/dark talents. The suppression on Xia Zuo is now minimal, which means that she can also use most of her abilities.
The dark purple tentacles were buried underground, blending into the ground, gathering all inhuman auras and spreading outward with the black-haired girl as the center, constantly searching for the mechanical boy who matched Xia Zuo's description.
Prisoner area, no.
Work area, no.
Eastwood's is nowhere to be found.
She searched everywhere she could, except for the warden's office, where monitoring and protective measures were extremely strict.
Where can this guy hide?
The black-haired girl thought for a moment with an expressionless face, then gave up thinking and knocked on the transparent wall beside her that had only a few ventilation holes: "Tong En."
Tong En, who had been paying attention to his favorite painting materials, nodded immediately: "I'm here, you're so cute, are you finally willing to be my painting material?"
Ursula: "No."
Ursula raised her index finger and asked seriously, "Do you know where number 0 is?"
Tong En shook his head: "I don't know."
She thought for a moment and said, "But it's Number 0. It must be a very precious and special painting material to be called Number 0, right? If it were me, I would put it in the most beautiful attic."
Ursula's eyes, one gold and one blue, lit up instantly: "You're right."
The most beautiful place in the prison = Césaire Crest’s private territory = Tower of Babel!
Prisoners were forbidden from entering the Tower of Babel, and even being near the tower would result in expulsion. However, if number 0 was the most special and beautiful one, it was possible that she could stay in the Tower of Babel.
What's more, she herself had stayed in the tower for a period of time because of the warden's special work arrangement.
But there was a very practical reason why she had skipped the Tower of Babel before, and that was that she was not sure that her tentacles could evade the defense and monitoring measures of the Tower of Babel, which were more stringent than those of the warden's office.
While thinking this in her mind, her tentacles had already reached out.
——Then just as he was about to approach the Tower of Babel, he was pulled out.
It was really "pulled" out.
The hand seemed to be able to penetrate the ground and forcibly lifted the tentacles from the ground to the surface. Even when it was lifted out, the golden vertical pupils on the tentacles blinked, and there was a bit of confusion.
Through these eyes, Ursula saw the boy's fair, slender hands without any flaws, and his face, which seemed to be carefully crafted, with not a single inch of it being imperfect.
"Are you looking for me, lovely lady?"
The blue-green-eyed boy squatted on the ground with a smile on his face, tilting his head with one hand while casually waving his purple tentacle, which hadn't reacted yet. "Ah, so stupid yet so adorable, with a clear mind that hasn't been tainted by intelligence."
Next sentence:
"But it should be able to make soup, right?"
Ursula, who was being stewed for the first time: "......?"
???
The eyes on the tentacles all opened wide, and for a moment they were even shocked.
This must be number 0.
Although I found him successfully.
But this mouth is really not just rude : ).
"Ah, don't be angry, I was just saying it casually—" The young man effortlessly held down the dancing tentacles around him, and said in a long, laughing voice, "You and that Freeman's little tricks are so simple and cute. I'm just covering for you. If I really stew you and drink the soup, and we all become equally clear, wouldn't we all be finished?"
"That won't do. You guys are still pretty cute. I won't be able to let you go."
Ursula: “…”
Tong'en blinked his eyes from behind a transparent wall.
Huh? Why is there an increasing amount of black energy surrounding the beautiful painting materials she loves?
Could it be moldy? What should I do? Is it too late to use desiccant to remove moisture now? QAQ?
