Chapter 5 is still too weak. "Who is this person?" "The tower is...
"Who is this?"
"Who is the tower going to capture again?"
"This is going to be a long time coming. I think the girl on the search warrant is just an adult. What can she possibly do? Gaota is really something."
It was five in the morning and there weren't many people around, but the search warrant posted on the tower still attracted a lot of attention.
Sakeli stood far away on the outskirts of the crowd and saw the search warrant.
Of course it's hers.
It seems that the failure to catch Sakori in one night has made them discover something unusual.
There are many people who can tell fortunes in the tower, but unfortunately, the badge can not only change the appearance, but also has secret patterns added by the president, which are specifically used to deal with such people.
The black-haired girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Let's go. It doesn't look like there's anything to see."
"Yeah." Kash also felt it was boring.
Ordinary people cannot see the soul, so they cannot discover Sakori.
If you meet a master who can see souls, you will have to step over him before you can take Sakeri away.
Apart from him, there were no other guards escorting Sakeri. After all, the more people there were, the more likely it was to attract the attention of the stars.
That is not a good thing. It is better to just choose someone who is strong enough and careful at the same time.
The two left the crowd, bought some supplies, and decided to rest for a while before continuing on their journey.
Sakeri was a little curious about where Lin would be, as she still had two pieces of thanks to express.
However, since the Secret Mark Society has already formed an alliance with the rebels, and Lin is one of the people responsible for the contact, they will meet again sooner or later.
She no longer dwelled on the matter.
She sat cross-legged on the balcony floor and, in the little morning light, slowly took out the book.
She knew that Jiashi was in the next room watching over her and would probably not sleep all day.
But there are always risks, and there are no better opportunities.
Sakeli took the book and prayed before opening it.
...I hope nothing happens to her, or at least she doesn't die in a very ugly way.
She tried to seek guidance from the stars as she always did, but she forgot that she had lost the ability to communicate with them.
What do you get in exchange for the ability to communicate with the gods?
Sarkore tried to open the book.
...failed?
Why can’t I open it?
All her mental preparation was in vain, and she tried her best but couldn't open the book.
Including but not limited to dropping a drop of your own blood on it.
I originally thought that the pages of the book had not been opened along the way because someone had to flip through them to open them.
She didn't expect that it couldn't be opened at all.
It shouldn't.
At least the store manager had clearly opened it at that time.
Something was missing that she hadn't expected.
Or perhaps, this thing is simply not something that humans can read.
Sakori thought a little hopelessly.

Li An is carving.
You know what, those tools I picked up are really useful.
She thought about it and decided to carve a tree.
The stone was square, so she decided to use one side as the crown of the tree, the other side as the intertwined roots, and the middle as the trunk.
First chisel out the rough outline.
The black cat was playing on the countertop, chasing its tail.
Then at some point it stopped, looking at the broken water cup on the edge of the table, lost in thought.
Well...it's definitely not important if there's a hole.
No, no, no, if you dare to push it, you will die, the stinky lychee will kill it!
But... the cup is placed so close to the edge of the table. It will fall down if it is touched casually. It is not its responsibility.
No, no, even if Li An doesn't pursue it, it's a demigod! How could it be bewitched by a mere broken cup?
Just grab the meat claws.
Don't underestimate the self-control of a demigod!
Li An was carving calmly. Just as he finished carving the outline of the tree trunk, he heard a "clang" sound.
It was louder than the sound of the stone falling to the ground when she was carving.
She looked over and couldn't find even a random shadow.
Looking down, she saw a pile of broken pieces of water cup on the ground, accusing her of the black cat's crime.
What are you doing——
Li An was about to ask a question when the telepathic communication was casually cut off.
"?"
He hunted eagles for years but was pecked in the eye by an eagle.
Li An sighed and decided to ask Suibian to come over and clean up the mess after finishing work.
Now, let's get things done.
On the stairwell, a black head appeared slightly behind the wall.
It is now afraid to communicate with Li'an through telepathy.
But at that moment, the urge to touch outweighed the fear of Li An, and with a "swish", the cup fell to the ground.
Is it too late to explain to her now that the cup grew legs and jumped to its death?
Li An just felt that this guy was becoming more and more like a cat.
At least when they first met, she could still feel that this guy was just a monster in cat's clothing, but now...
How different is it from a real cat?
Li An had almost finished chiseling and still didn't feel sleepy at all, so he packed up the stones and found a box to put them in.
This stone is quite large, and the crushed stone produced is also quite large. I feel like it can be used to make something else. Anyway, I'll keep it for now.
I went upstairs, but still didn’t see the guilty black cat.
The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the bedroom, and basically all the furniture in the apartment was brought here.
Li An lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
One, two, three, whatever...
No, I can't sleep at all and it's so boring.
She thought about it over and over for a long time, and made a great decision that moved all the clients who had urged her to submit manuscripts to tears.
Let's go downstairs and finish that sculpture.
Although Li An didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder before, she feels that she has it now.
The thought of having something unfinished sitting there made her feel itchy.
She ran downstairs again and picked up the chisel again.
Let’s start by refining the tree from its roots.

"Are we really going to take the rebels with us to look for the 'Tree Root'?"
Shanju, who picked up a new tool bag and avoided subsequent losses, asked.
The white deer neither nodded nor shook his head, but looked deeply into the distance.
"Of course, kid, there's no one better than them."
That's perfect, let it see what that thing is.
Shanju clenched his fists and said, "Stop pretending, President. How about we hold a referendum meeting when we get back and call it 'Forbid the President from Pretending'?"
President Lu shrank his neck, and the pile of horror-style ornaments began to make noise again.
The deer's eyes are round.
Shanju was speechless. If he had known earlier, he should have changed the title of the last meeting to "The president is strictly prohibited from taking horror-style accessories out of the house."
Instead of "In order to prevent the president from embarrassing himself by talking nonsense in public, we reduce the president's opportunities to speak as much as possible."
Lin, the only reliable one, said, "Hurry up, they're rushing us. The team arrived at Nanxi Harbor two days ago."
The recent data on casualties has also been sent in. It is difficult to say whether the other party takes the forbidden area seriously.
Shanjue pouted, "I knew those guys weren't good with these things. They even refused to help at first. How many people in the rebel army are good at secret patterns and mysterious phenomena?"
The Secret Mark Society has been dealing with these things for many years and has a deep foundation, but the rebel army is a force that has only risen in recent decades, and the talent pool in this area is very limited.
President Lu led the two of them to Nanxi Harbor, "Lin, send a message to Ke Jinzhu."
"Tell her—"
*
[The Tower has dispatched a team of investigators, who are heading to Nanxi Harbor and are expected to arrive in seven hours.]
[Team leader currently unknown]
Ke Jinzhu glanced at the message prompt.
Tsk, it’s convenient to have someone high up in the tower to help you.
The rebels had risen to power in such a short time that the highest-ranking spy planted in the tower was only a deputy minister.
However, the Secret Mark Society had an insider who took a position that allowed him to participate in the "Tower Decree".
She sighed. This was a gap that she had to admit.
The other party must have more detailed information about the "tree roots", but there is nothing we can do about it as they have waited until now to ask for help.
The relationship between the two forces is closer to that of a hedgehog than ordinary friends.
At present, our interests are generally the same, and we can show our soft bellies and huddle together for warmth, but what about in the future?
If the matter can be resolved, it will inevitably be countered with sharp thorns.
Relying on the Secret Pattern Society for everything is definitely not a good choice.
But she doesn't have a choice right now.
Ke Jinzhu stood up, put away the communicator, and looked into the distance.
There are broken walls and no grass growing. The morning sun's rays have lost their warmth here. The dead silence and desolation are best interpreted here.
The wind will not pass through here, and even the most tenacious grass seeds seem to have forgotten this place.
The sea water can no longer be seen in Nanxi Harbor. Where the dock used to be, there are only some iron plates left, standing in a chaotic manner on the ground.
If only it were just ruins.
In just two days, four people were killed in this ruin.
Four, it doesn’t seem like a large number, but the people who came this time, including Ke Jinzhu, only had ten people.
Four already account for nearly half.
Moreover, the people who came here were all the best of the best. Except for Jiashi who was sent by her to support Sakori, it can be said that almost all the best elites from the Operations Department and the Secret Mark Department are here.
If this continues, everyone will be defeated in Nanxi Harbor in less than four days.
After all, it's too weak.
Nanxi Harbor itself is complicated enough, and now the Secret Pattern Society is on the way, and the Tower is also getting involved.
Ke Jinzhu probably guessed why Gaota suddenly came to Nanxi Harbor.
Because of Sakori.
She should be unobservable now, but she won't stay that way forever.
If you want to completely get rid of the tower, there are only a few places in the kingdom. It is difficult to find other places, but Nanxi Harbor has always been here.
She wasn't worried about the incoming investigators and the unknown leader from the tower.
But it is very likely that the tower will send additional personnel in the future.
Compared with the Secret Mark Society, the rebels are numerous, but the rebels and the Gotabi are absolutely weaker.
The other side can easily send out a team of search officers, and the rebels only have this one team to search.
The rebels are running out of time, and Southwest Harbor won't wait for anyone.
"Boss, it's almost dawn. When are we going to take action?" her subordinate asked her.
Ke Jinzhu is the highest-ranking person in this operation, and the only one second only to her is the deputy minister of the Secret Mark Department.
The reason for not taking any action at night is not only based on past experience, but also the bloody lesson learned from the casualties in the past two days.
The stars are always more active at night.
Ke Jinzhu took out the communicator and looked at it again. "Wait a moment."
"Wait for the people from the Secret Mark Society to arrive."
"Everyone, conserve your energy and avoid any contact with mysterious phenomena."
"People from the tower are on the way too."
Tower——
Some people clenched their fists.
Unless forced into a desperate situation, few people would really like to live a precarious life on the edge of a knife.
Ke Jinzhu said coldly: "Our target is the 'tree roots', and we should try our best to avoid conflict with the tower."
"Don't do it unless necessary."
Several people responded.
