Chapter 53
The masked man's name is Ben, and according to him, he is the butler of the Crest family.
His ancestors have all been like this, serving the family wholeheartedly.
"You are on the highest floor of the Tower of Babel*. The stone walls here have been specially fused with various minerals that have beneficial effects and can block auras."
"Back when the previous family head noticed unusual movements from the monsters in the Della Dead Sea and the Federation was secretly preparing to study the juveniles, he added a whole layer of Sijoheim ore around the perimeter of the Iswit Lunatic Prison."
"And this Tower of Babel."
Xizel: "..."
He spoke calmly, "Foresight and caution."
Cesare stood at the window and looked down.
This tower is located in the very center of Eastwood Prison for the Insane. It is extremely tall and sturdy, and you can even vaguely see the clouds by the window.
It's said that when this place was first built, it was known as the Tower of Babel, symbolizing "the place closest to the gods." Therefore, as an awakened agent, he would temporarily bathe in the gods' grace while within the tower, all burdens on his body being alleviated.
Xizel blinked, remembered something, turned his head and asked, "So after I go out..."
Ben nodded honestly. "Yes, after leaving the Tower of Babel, your eyes will need some time to recover before you can see again."
The man bowed slightly and said, "Master, please wait a moment. I'm going to get something."
Soon, he came back with his hands raised and a piece of silk cloth.
After seeing the silk cloth, Xizel raised his eyebrows slightly.
The base color of the silk cloth is pure and flawless white, but in the center lies a horizontal open golden eye. The pattern is complex and gorgeous, not only does it not feel weird, but it is also full of divinity.
Ban: "This is a gifted artifact from the collection room. It was made by an S-level gift holder. Wearing it will blur your appearance and help you see."
The black-haired boy didn't take it, but looked at him with a half-smile: "What is your talent?"
——Put the blurred appearance in front and the auxiliary visual objects in the back.
Quite a subtle sequence, isn't it?
The man paused, then bowed his head even lower in respect. "My gift is the 'Abyss of Intention.' My fundamental ability is to capture the desires of those below me. This desire includes what they desire at this very moment."
"My talent is a family talent. The effect of each generation is the same and can bring you the best assistance."
Xizel said calmly, "I don't like others using spiritual talents on me."
He had previously been able to resist this type of talent, probably because of the protection of the mark on his arm. Now that the mark had blocked a blow for him, it should no longer have a similar effect, allowing others to glimpse a corner of his inner thoughts.
The black-haired boy raised his eyes, and a half-smiley look fell on him. If you look closely, you will find that there is no emotion in those eyes at all:
“Don’t let it happen again.”
"Yes, Master."
After sending Ban away, Xizel went to the collection room by himself.
He will not be seen in the public areas of Eastwood Prison for the Insane yet.
Firstly, physical force is not enough, and secondly, without the identity of warden, he is not prepared to act rashly.
"As expected, I really hate psychic talents."
Xizel smiled and said to the Comic Will: "Logically speaking, the probability of psychic abilities appearing is extremely low, but they keep appearing around me one after another..."
Comic Will: "...Don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean it!!"
"And this is one of our own, one of our own."
César remained silent.
He would never trust Ben. Even if he promised not to use his gift on him again, he would still continue to control his inner voice in front of him - just like when he was with Ursula.
He didn't want to gamble on the loyalty of others that couldn't be precisely controlled.
Perhaps this was the advantage of being the last descendant of a reclusive family with a rich heritage—there were almost countless collections from past generations at his disposal.
Fortunately, the Crests withdrew in time, so these collections have been preserved to this day. Otherwise, they would have been divided up by other powerful families at the time, just like the Freemans.
In order to prevent being exposed so quickly, César broke the contract with Ursula while the Tower of Babel could isolate Ursula's perception.
As a result, his "Crest's Fairy Godmother" turned back into an incomplete version, lasting only five minutes, and his life-saving trump card was instantly weakened.
If he couldn't save and load the game, he might be a little distressed right now.
After all, the "entry into the world" was also the Crest family. As it was a training for the clan members who had the qualifications of agents, he could not take too many collections with him, and in the end he only took three items.
The first one is a blindfold made of silk with a single pupil embroidered in the center, which can blur his appearance, conceal his breath, and help him see things.
The second item is a platinum sacrificial gown that is impervious to wind and rain. It has a certain defensive effect and is highly compatible with the blindfold silk cloth. At first glance, it looks simple and sacred, but a closer look reveals the gorgeous workmanship and embroidery.
The third item was a ten-cubic-meter storage snake-shaped silver ring, which he put on his left hand.
The comic will was dumbfounded: "..."
"You..." It said dully, "You didn't dress like this before, did you?"
This is too conspicuous. You will definitely get 100% attention when you walk on the street.
Moreover, after Xi Zeer stopped deliberately restraining his temperament, whenever other people saw him, they would no longer think that he was an orphan.
After looking at the buff that Xizel carried with him when he went out, and thinking about Xia Zuo who was also the last descendant of the family, the comic will fell into silence.
...It's really so pitiful, Xia Zuo.
"It's not like I wear this every day," Cesar said calmly, "There's a full ten cubic meters of space, so I can still bring a lot of things."
"And..." He pressed his earring thoughtfully: "I think you can modify this earring into a more suitable shape in the comics."
If it is still a silver cross, then the horse will fall off quickly.
If he is exposed too early, everything he does will be meaningless.
He just wanted the plot to be more dramatic and his character's personality to be more developed. What was wrong with that?
"Such a small-scale modification is certainly possible." Comic Will immediately agreed, and at the same time reminded: "Do you want to see the comments? The comic has been updated."
Xizel blinked and sighed softly: "It seems that I don't have much time left."
Comic Will didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
However, Xizel did not explain, but calmly opened the comics, ready to take a look at what happened to Xia Zuo after his "death".
…
…
A few minutes before the comic was updated, the forum was active with various prophecy posts.
[Hmm, I feel like there's going to be a boss battle today!]
I don't think so. They're only A-rank anyway, and in a world of absolute talent, S-rank isn't the upper limit.
[I also think that he can't be defeated unless he explodes again, but it is obvious that Xia Zuo's explosion frequency is too high. I don't think the author will arrange it this way again.]
[Could it be that someone from the family will come to pick me up? ]
[Yes, Ze Shen's identity is very mysterious at first glance. Maybe there is an elder watching him from behind.]
The Legend of Ze Shen
[Are you trying to make me laugh to death, hahahaha]
[Subject: A wave of reverse prophecy. I speculate that someone might die in the next episode, either César or Ursula]
[Main Post: As the title says, I've been reading comics for years, and the more I read this comic's direction, the more I feel something is not right. Everything is going too smoothly, and often after a smooth ride comes a huge trough. This is a common tactic used by old thieves.]
[Not to mention that in recent years, the deaths in comics have been so random. I've been following a lot of new comics, and so many popular characters have died without warning, and then died so quickly... I'm already numb.]
[Given that César's identity is more open to exploration than Ursula's, I think Ze Shen will most likely die. Really. His death will definitely not be meaningless, and may even be the fuse for the next plot.]
[Ahhh, OP, stop being such a pessimist!! I won't die if I push this!]
[Put in a ward. If it's true, I'll come back and kill you.]
[I heard that some authors will look at forums and randomly draw the future direction... Help, help, absolutely talented authors, please don't see this! ! ]
[This is a prediction post a few minutes before the comic is updated. It’s not going to happen, hahahaha]
"No way...? The protagonists wouldn't die so easily...?"
This post is a reverse prophecy, and the vast majority of readers are optimistic about the boss battle in the comics -
Until they saw with their own eyes that César Crest completely disappeared in the prison formed by the crystallization of talent.
The black-haired boy almost never said anything like "friend" to Xia Zuo. All along, it seemed that Xia Zuo was the only one who called him "my friend" and unilaterally swore "I will definitely protect you."
But when the talent crystal that was obviously aimed at Xia Zuo was thrown over, and they had no chance of winning against three S-level players, the black-haired boy plotted against Xia Zuo for the last time.
——He asked Xia Zuo to stop the others, and when he left, he walked into the deadly cage in place of his friend.
"Don't feel sorry for me, my... friend."
The black-haired boy said with a smile.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and the color in his eyes became gentle for the first time. When he said his final goodbye, he finally said the word "friend".
The Zelas were the first to lose their patience.
[Dead?? I pushed him to death?! !]
When Ze Shen said he might die and asked Xia Zuo if he would regret it, I had a bad feeling. As expected, the author has no heart!!!
My CP... is gone (vomiting soul)
Ze Shen must be very satisfied with his ending. He saved his friend's life with his own death and also fulfilled his long-cherished wish of eternal sleep...
When he looked at the patrol tower at the end of the previous episode, I knew he had already decided how to die... How could you be so cruel?
[Ze Shen! How can I live without you, Ze Shen! ! ]
Friends, let’s meet on the rooftop.
[Forget the rooftop, I'll just jump into the blender (coma)]
[I was completely stunned... Is this the death Ze Shen sent to himself?! He really has no heart (I burst into tears)]
Ze Shen: I have intentions, but not much.
【Ze Tui has sealed his heart and locked away his love...】
This episode revealed enough information and worldview, so logically, there should be countless analysis posts on the forum soon. However, this time, the forum homepage was full of mourning.
[Where's that post saying Ze Shen will die? Bring it up and kill him with a knife! (hot)]
