Chapter 1759: Chapter 1757: The Director’s Request

Han Dong was taken aback.

He didn’t expect to meet another original letter holder so soon.

Even without any explanation this time, Han Dong could guess that C most likely corresponded to [Control], and this Mr. C was surely the current director of the Black Tower Control Bureau.

“Is Mr. C inside the bureau?”

“No.

Although he is the director, he mainly handles some special supervision work and important decisions, spending most of his time in the upper regions, occasionally visiting B.B.C.

Moreover.

The [anomalies] that cannot be captured by instruments between the containment towers were also discovered by Charles… If it weren’t for him, perhaps everyone would think the containment tower is in a state of ‘absolute stability’ until now.

Since detecting the problem, Charles has set up a temporary office on the outer wall, follow me.”

Taking the narrow elevator along the building’s wall, moving up this beastly structure.

In a room specially crafted from “Cosmic Dark Crystal,” they saw Director Charles Olmedo (C) floating in the air.

Silver hair,

wearing a straight cylindrical robe imprinted with cosmic patterns,

a circular floating collar covering his mouth and nose,

bearing special eyes with a [X] symbol indicating ‘prohibition’ and metal rings symbolizing ‘restraint’ on his fingers,

Upon seeing this person, Han Dong immediately labeled him with [space], [control], and [intelligence].

‘If discussing the type of this director,

he’s of the same kind as Pope, the ruler of void space… very strong! Unlike the club owner with a purely physical nature, this is a type of ‘broad’ strength.’

“Director Charles.”

Han Dong bowed respectfully, having a certain liking for such research-oriented powerhouses.

A moment later.

A strangely textured hand rested on Han Dong’s shoulder.

Besides human skin and metallic rings on the fingers, there was also a sensation similar to an “electric pulse,” causing all ‘motions’ of the shoulder area to cease.

All basic cellular activity like transcription and translation halted, and protein synthesis was blocked.

Theoretically, the fleshy part of the shoulder would completely necrotize in a short time… Yet everything at the contact point was normal, as if even “death” and “decay” were forbidden.

“Hmm, a special body, unique.

Also possessing a rather ‘balanced’ soul and a consciousness far exceeding the current level… no wonder you can perfectly switch between demon and human, and no wonder ‘Silver-like’ poses almost no danger to you.

In that case, you indeed qualify for a comprehensive tour.

However, I must add a few conditions, to prevent you from dying inside due to a lack of ‘information,’ which would be quite worthless.”

Buzz!

The metal rings on Charles’s fingers automatically detached.

There was no question of acceptance,

The rings forcibly encircled the wrists of Han Dong, Sally, and the headless, transforming into a kind of metallic bracelet.

“The Black Tower Control Bureau was primarily designed by the original M and built under the supervision of the Supreme Will, its significance is self-evident.

It can be considered as the [spine] of the Black Tower.

Its internal structure and construction are updated regularly each year, the scale and complexity far exceeding your imagination.

Although B.B.C is progressively moving towards a state we cannot reverse, we still maintain overall control… We have already ‘sealed’ some extremely dangerous areas.

When you approach such areas, the bracelet will turn red.

Moreover.

When you approach important management areas like data archives and access management, the bracelet will turn blue.

Simultaneously, the bracelet will serve as a guide, showing you the name of the area you’ve reached, providing basic descriptions, and giving clear directions at critical moments.”

“Thank you, Director Charles!”

Having such a good device on him not only allows Han Dong to quickly understand the structure of B.B.C but also avoid unnecessary risks, and his affection for this senior C is also rapidly growing.

“My requests are simple.

Unless necessary, do not approach the two aforementioned areas, and do not cause me too much trouble.

If during the tour you find yourself completely out of control or realize you’re unable to escape some uncontrollable influence, stay inside obediently and never come out.”

“Understood.”

“Additionally, your tour time is [subjective 48 hours].

Since you may encounter situations like a time vortex or expansion, causing discrepancies between the time outside and inside… Therefore, the bracelet on you will serve as the main timer.

If the bracelet timer exceeds 48 hours, you will be marked as out of control, remaining inside forever.

If there are no problems, set off quickly; the timer will start the moment you step through B.B.C’s main gate.”

“Director Charles, I have one last question.

What exactly are the [Out of Control] events that even the bureau’s surveillance equipment cannot capture? Or what kind of phenomenon is it?”

Upon asking this.

Director Charles leaned close to Han Dong’s ear, speaking softly:

“Isn’t your [purpose] here to clearly see the specific state of the containment tower? The answer to this question is your final goal for this tour.

How many problems you can identify within 48 hours, how much essence you can see through.

This is also a test from Mr. M for you, and at the same time my standard for evaluating you… If you can see through the essence, I will also support you when you present yourself at the Supreme Will.”

“Got it.”

Han Dong’s curiosity also grew.

He was extremely curious about how such a scale of out-of-control events could not be detected by such a grand control bureau, yet evade the Supreme Will for so long, even reaching an irreversible point.

…

Five minutes later.

The main gate of the Black Tower Control Bureau (B.B.C).

Han Dong, Sally, and the headless all changed into standard suits, standing at the entrance.

Wearing temporary badges labeled “Inspection Team” with Director Charles’s mark – [C], they had the authority to inspect all areas of the bureau.

As they crossed the threshold.

The sound of the torrential rain outside ceased abruptly, as if completely isolated from the outside.

Beep beep! The bracelet also buzzed, officially starting the countdown.

The scene before Han Dong left him momentarily stunned.

Like stepping into the headquarters of a leading enterprise, various employees were slowly moving throughout the brightly lit hall, clad in suits with B.B.C circular badges on their chests.

There were also transporters present, engaged in transferring materials and documents.

This normal, stable situation was vastly different from Han Dong’s expectations of a near out-of-control containment tower… He initially thought most employees had evacuated, with only a few left to ensure core facilities’ operation.

‘Are all employees still holding their positions? Moreover, everything seems normal.

Could it be that the out-of-control hasn’t affected this area, and it’s actually occurring in a deeper layer? Like the detention area specifically for out-of-control individuals?’

At this moment.

A security guard approached for identity verification.

Han Dong also took the opportunity to make physical contact with the guard, but found no anomalies.

As the three walked through the security gate towards the depths of the hall.

The security guard tilted his head, his eyes fixated on the trio’s backs; even after they disappeared from view, he still hadn’t turned his head around.
