The latest episode of "Running Man" has not yet been aired, but it has caused an uproar on the Internet.
——Whose show is so well filmed that they would find a skeleton at the end! Not to mention that the story adapted by the show is called "one of the top ten haunted houses" by the locals, and it is also the prototype of the story of the program team, the "No. 81" old house.
It turns out that ghost stories are all true!
This news directly made the program top the hot searches for three whole days, so much so that even after a rumor came out that six players won the show and shared the one million equally, no one cared at all.
Not to mention how the mood of the director team changed with the "haunted" incident of the program - they were worried about being hurt by ghosts - they were terrified to complete the ghost's mission - they were relieved when no one was injured and the six of them won in the end - they were confused when they planned to make a final ending but found Xu Qingyin's corpse - and they were ecstatic because this episode was on the hot search list.
Just after the recording of the program ended, Lin Yuan arrived and took Mei Fang and Mei Che away. Su Mu and Lin Lang pretended to be ignorant of the whole incident and waited for Guan Yingying to approach them again.
...
Mei Fang and Mei Che sat on the yacht, looking around them somewhat awkwardly at the technologically advanced and novel scenery.
Considering that Mei Fang had always been very interested in new-style education before her death, Lin Yuan, who could have used "space magic" to bring the two directly back to the "Tower of Babel", chose the plane + yacht method so that the two could better see this new world that was completely different from a hundred years ago.
Mei Fang agreed to Lin Lang's request so easily at first, mostly just to repay her kindness. She didn't actually have high expectations for what she would face in the future - having a place to live, being able to read books, study, and gain access to new knowledge, especially new knowledge about the world a hundred years later, was enough to satisfy her.
Mei Che follows his sister in everything. He accepts 100% of whatever his sister wants to do. He is definitely a complete "sister-con".
But the two never imagined that a simple promise would allow them to be exposed to so many things in a very short period of time.
The two of them were not completely ignorant of these things. Not to mention that the time point they lived in was actually only ninety years away from now, and technology had already exploded. Airplanes and cruise ships had also appeared a long time ago, but they had never taken them. When their families were not yet in decline, as wealthy people, they had also come into contact with knowledge about airplanes, cruise ships, or luxury goods, and had also seen what the life of a truly wealthy family was like.
What they are going through now is definitely not cheap.
Being treated with care was enough to move the two, but they didn't expect that what really shocked them was just beginning.
Soon, the yacht stopped in the ocean. Looking around, there was no land in sight.
A breeze blew by, and the sea surface was foggy without anyone noticing. The waves below suddenly surged. The huge yacht was just as small as a leaf in front of the increasingly large waves, and could be overturned at any time.
Mei Fang was ready to use magic to save the yacht, but Lin Yuan waved at them, stopping them from using magic.
Then, a sharp corner appeared in the surging waves. The sharp corner continued to rise, revealing its true appearance - it was a small building more than ten meters high, full of technology.
The yacht started again and stopped at the platform in front of the small building.
"Come down." Lin Yuan said.
The two looked at each other, suppressed the slight uneasiness in their hearts, and followed Lin Yuan down.
It was not until then that they realized that the "small building" in front of them was not just an office building, but a huge elevator with a unique shape.
Mei Fang and Mei Che had also taken an elevator before, which was something only found in high-end hotels, and there were even attendants standing inside to provide service.
But the elevator before them was more gorgeous and grand than any other elevator they had ever seen, and full of futuristic technology.
The three of them descended rapidly in the elevator, and in just a moment they were already in the deep sea. The gorgeous scenery of the ocean suddenly came into view - the walls around the elevator were actually made of glass! Even though they had entered the deep sea, there was no sign of cracking.
The ocean seemed to be filled with fireflies, with tiny dots of light floating in the water. Even when the elevator dived to a depth of 100 meters, the surroundings were still full of light.
——These "fireflies" are the magic that Su Mu has distributed in the ocean. Ordinary people cannot see magic, and these lights cannot be captured by the naked eye. But for people with magic, or new life forms like Mei Fang and Mei Che who are made up of resentment and magic, the ocean is always as bright as day in front of them.
Soon, the elevator stopped at a depth of 800 meters.
The further down you go, the stronger the mutants you contain. Mei Fang and Mei Che are the only two mutants that have individual thinking before they are contained. Staying in this place full of magic power and a good place for cultivation, it is inevitable that their strength will improve by leaps and bounds in the future. Even though they are very docile now and only follow Lin Lang's lead, they must also be prepared accordingly.
Of course, they were more afraid that some mutants in the shallow sea area whose intelligence had not yet been fully developed would accidentally provoke them and be destroyed.
He led the two through the long central corridor to two side-by-side rooms and handed them two room cards.
"This is where you will live." On the way here, Lin Yuan had already introduced the "Tower of Babel" to the two of them, so now he said directly: "Lin Lang and Su Mu promised me that since you have their magic power in your bodies, I will not keep a close watch on you. From today on, you will also serve as staff here, responsible for containing and monitoring other mutants. Due to strength issues, the area you are responsible for will be more dangerous than that of other staff members. Can you accept this?"
The two looked at the room in front of them curiously - it was spacious and bright. Although the overall area was not very large, the bedroom, living room and bathroom were very spacious and enough for one person to live in.
As for dining, there is a dedicated restaurant area in "Tower of Babel" and they do not need to be responsible for it themselves.
Not to mention that Lin Yuan's attitude was very polite. He was clearly the "person in charge" here. He did not hide his true colors when he entered the "Tower of Babel". The magical pressure used to suppress all the restless mutants also made Mei Fang and Mei Che realize how terrifying the boy in front of them was. Such a top powerhouse asked them in a good tone, "Is it acceptable?" His attitude towards them could no longer be described as purely "friendly".
Food, drink, accommodation and work are provided. I heard that there is also a special game area, fitness area, library... All the basic facilities are available. It's simply charity!
——The two of them didn't know that "Babel Tower" didn't need Lin Yuan to be self-financing, but was fully funded by the government. Lin Yuan, who had been accustomed to spending lavishly since childhood, spent the official funds without hesitation, and directly chose the best for all infrastructure. After all, in addition to searching for and containing mutants, most of the staff had to stay in the deep sea for a long time. Without sufficient entertainment facilities, even the best environment would become depressing.
In return for Lin Yuan and others providing magical intelligence, helping to make friends with the dragon clan, and sheltering and managing mutants, the authorities are also happy to provide them with ample, even unlimited, funds. Although the establishment of the "Tower of Babel" was also partly used as a deterrent to the earth by Class Nine, now that the "Tower of Babel" belongs to China, Lin Yuan and others are very willing to live in peace with the authorities and provide help within their ability. Therefore, this "deterrence" will also become China's "deterrence" to other countries in the future, and even to Parnaki.
In today's era where we can be in danger at any time, the more weapons we have, the better. Especially since other countries cannot copy them, the government is naturally happy to give them money.
...
Seeing that Mei Fang and Mei Che both chose to accept without hesitation, Lin Yuan took out the documents he had prepared long ago and handed them to the two of them: "This is the employment contract and registration information. You just need to sign below."
Mei Fang took the registration information and took a look at it first.
"Number: Babel-1017"
『Rank: A』
"Danger Level: E"
『Classification: Resentment』
Mei Fang's eyes darkened. Although she called herself a "ghost" or a "human", how could she not know her true identity?
Fortunately, both Lin Lang and Lin Yuan treated her and her brother in a human way.
She picked up the employment contract and took another look at it.
『Name: Mei Fang (Xu Qingyin)』
Age: 97 (1926-)
『Gender: Female』
『Race: Human』
Mei Fang tightened her grip on the employment report and looked at Lin Yuan with surprise and astonishment.
"It says here that I am human? But I..."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The registration information is the classification of mutants. The information needs to be contained, so it must be detailed and accurate. But the entry file is not so strict. Don't you and your brother treat yourselves as humans? Now you also have the same way of thinking as ordinary people, and there is no difference from ordinary people. Don't tell me that you are dangerous."
Mei Fang pursed her lips and gave a sweet smile.
"But our current staff are basically all humans, and there are no humanoid mutants with intelligence joining us. You two are special, and it will be more convenient for you to act and work as humans. Don't worry that the employees here will discriminate against you. It's okay if you want to tell them your true identity, they won't be afraid." When talking about the employees, Lin Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, but a deep smile emerged at the same time: "They are all very good children, although they are a little out of touch occasionally...but it's not their fault, it's all the fault of Lin Lang and Su Mu who are responsible for teaching them!"
"Is it Lin Lang's student?" Mei Fang asked in surprise.
Lin Yuan nodded: "Only you and your brother live on this floor at the moment, so usually not many staff members come here. It's lunch time soon, and there is food prepared for mutants. If you'd like, you can go there to eat and get to know your future colleagues."
"Are there mutants that can move freely like us?" Mei Che asked in surprise.
Because they knew from Lin Lang in advance about their future work experience, the two were not worried about being detained after arriving here, and they were not surprised that they could move freely because of the identity of "employees".
But they didn't expect that other mutants could also move freely.
"Of course." Lin Yuan nodded. "This is not the strict place you imagine. We just want to better contain the mutants and allow them to live more freely. At the same time, we want to prevent them from conflicting with human living habits and causing harm. If we bring them here and lock them up, wouldn't it be meaningless?"
In fact, most mutants are in a controllable state. Some have no intelligence and only have pure attack power, but they need to be used in special ways, or they can be appeased with magic, just like the props in the "Infinite Flow" novels that can be exchanged for points in the main god space. They are usually kept in a special prop storage area on each floor.
The staff working here, such as those sent by the government, or students who are doing internships and training here, can exchange or rent props with the "points" issued as part of their monthly salary. Each prop is branded with magic. Once any accident occurs, such as the prop running away or being robbed by criminals, the brand will immediately notify "Babel Tower". At the same time, employees can also use the mental power left on the brand to forcibly control the props and seal the props' movement and use rights.
In addition to props, points can also be exchanged for some small gadgets made by the students of Class Nine, such as the "Primary Healing Potion" made by Zhou Ruo, the "Doll" made by Si Jishi that combines combat power and entertainment, or the "Combat Experience Book" recorded by Zhou Xun - except for students who reveal their identities, the word "anonymous" will be marked on the production list of these small things.
Apart from other things, Zhou Ruo's "Primary Treatment Potion" was always snapped up every time it appeared. Even though it had the word "primary" on it, the effect of the potion shocked all users.
Although it can only stimulate cell activity to heal wounds and cannot treat other diseases, it can fade scars and even regenerate broken limbs!
People will always encounter accidents, leaving scars is common. Nowadays, scar removal surgery is troublesome and expensive, and it may not be able to completely remove scars. With a bottle of "Primary Treatment Potion", all problems can be solved.
As for the regeneration of severed limbs, with the ability of the "primary healing potion", it can only regenerate a part of the severed limb each time, but it can indeed make the organs including bones grow visibly.
If the medicine is used properly, it is not a problem to save lives at critical moments. Therefore, every time the medicine is put on the shelf, most of it will be snapped up by the staff sent by the government, although every time the medicine is made, Zhou Ruo will ask Lin Yuan to hand over a small batch of medicine to the government on his behalf.
But for officials who need to consider the entire Chinese patients, the amount of these medicines is far from enough.
Unfortunately, the herbs used to produce medicines take too much time to grow. Qiao Muyu, who is in charge of growing the herbs, is stuck in production, and Zhou Ruo, who is in charge of production, is also unable to produce in large quantities.
These herbs were created by Zhou Ruo by comparing plants from Parnaki and Earth, using magic to catalyze them. Their effects were much weaker than those of Parnaki. If they were made with Parnaki herbs, with Zhou Ruo's ability, the most basic would be an "advanced healing potion".
In order to earn points, in addition to the fixed monthly salary, "Tower of Babel" will also launch a variety of tasks that can earn points, such as containing mutants, cleaning bases, etc.
In order to accommodate more powerful mutants, many staff members will rent props specifically to earn more points.
Such non-organic mutants are currently the most numerous in the entire "Tower of Babel". The second largest is the plant-type mutant, such as Zhizhi, which was moved from the ninth class classroom to the "Tower of Babel" and lived downstairs from the siblings Meifang and Meiche as an "S-level mutant".
Although the level of danger is higher than Meifang and Meiche, Zhizhi's safety is the same as that of the siblings, or even lower. She is often positioned as a "cute pet" by the staff in "Tower of Babel".
Who doesn’t like a little vine that can act coquettishly, be cute, and is super good at fighting?
There were also extremely dangerous mutants imprisoned in the "Tower of Babel". For example, the mutant from Parnaki that attacked Major Zhang and his team was contained in the "danger zone" on the same floor as Zhizhi, and several layers of sealing were made to prevent it from leaving the detention area and harming other mutants and staff.
The mutants that Lin Yuan and his team had encountered in the library were also contained in the "Danger Zone".
Mutants like these that are clearly highly harmful to humans, have no intelligence, and are full of aggressive desires are all contained in the "Danger Zone" and will not be released easily.
If Mei Fang and Mei Che had not merged with the magic of Lin Lang and Su Mu, possessed real human thinking, and considered themselves human, completely letting go of their desire to attack and seek revenge, they would have been taken into the "Danger Zone" after arriving at the "Tower of Babel".
Most of the time, Lin Yuan will give maximum freedom to mutants like Mei Fang and Mei Che who are friendly to humans, have clear thinking, and will definitely not attack humans.
In case some mutants are too smart and pretend to be friendly but actually take the opportunity to escape, or attack staff or other mutants, Lin Yuan has already made preparations.
The "registration information" with their signed names is not just a pure piece of white paper, but also a "contract" engraved with magic - the name is just a form of "contract". Those mutants who have no intelligence and cannot write can also complete the contract by using their blood or directly guiding magic power into the "registration information".
If these mutants show any abnormal behavior after signing the contract, the "contract" will immediately restrain them and restrict their actions.
If the mutant is too dangerous and cannot be controlled, the "Contract" will detonate their magic power and destroy them completely.
For the students of Class 9, who now have an absolute gap in magic and magical power compared to the mutants, it is easy to control these mutants.
After briefly talking to the two about the arrangements for the "Tower of Babel", Lin Yuan returned to his office and continued to work on other tasks.
After Mei Fang and Mei Che walked around the floor where they lived, they thought about the restaurant area that Lin Yuan mentioned, so they took the elevator again and arrived at the restaurant area three hundred meters below the sea.
The two "country bumpkins" who had not seen the world for nearly a hundred years were dumbfounded as soon as they entered the restaurant, which was more spacious and technologically advanced than the residential area.
The restaurant has two floors, with a huge display screen at the top, showing the number of people queuing for each specialty window of today's recommended dishes. It looks a bit like the waiting room in the airport that Lin Yuan took them to, with so many shops and seats in the middle.
But compared to the crowded waiting room, the restaurant in front of me is obviously not so crowded and the environment is more comfortable. The walls here are made of bulletproof glass, just like the elevators. With the blessing of magic, even missiles can withstand it. If you sit by the window to dine, you can enjoy the food while appreciating the magnificent and romantic ocean scenery. Sometimes there will be schools of fish approaching here, and if you are lucky, you can also see large fish such as sharks and whales.
"Are you newcomers?" A gentle voice sounded in their ears. They turned their heads and saw a gentle-looking girl wearing glasses smiling at them, her eyes curved into two crescent shapes.
The two nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed and at a loss.
Mei Fang and Mei Che, who originally relied on their own strength and thought that even if they were not as strong as Lin Yuan and others, they could still shine in the "Tower of Babel", had their confidence completely crushed by the emergence of modern facilities one after another, just like Granny Liu who stepped into the Jia Mansion for the first time - with an additional hundred years of information gap.
"My name is Liu Xiaoyun." The girl asked, "Are you new recruits sent by the government?"
"Are the people sent by the authorities as inexperienced as us?" Mei Che didn't mind talking about his embarrassment and even took the initiative to make fun of it.
"Haha, it's not just official. Who comes here without showing such an expression?" Liu Xiaoyun laughed.
"We were recommended by Lin Lang." Mei Fang said.
Liu Xiaoyun was shocked: "Teacher Lin Lang? Are you acquaintances of Teacher Lin? I am her student. Are you also Teacher Lin's student? I heard that Teacher Lin occasionally trains official magicians."
Mei Fangmei Che, who had already received popular knowledge about magic, shook his head.
Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to occupy her body, but Lin Lang took control of me. After I was beaten up, am I now her little brother?"
Liu Xiaoyun: “???”
Why is your story with Teacher Lin so complicated?
What on earth do you do!
