Pretend To Be a Boss Chapter 173

  Chapter 173 Tower of Order

   Tang Xian added:

   "Or, what exactly is an Orderer?"

  【A kind of machinery that uses living things as raw materials! It doesn't have any breath of life, but it is indeed alive. 】

   Zhuo He has spent thirty years in the human world, and after all, he knows many secrets.

  Tang Xian's heart also set off turbulent waves following Zhuo He's words. He frowned and asked again:

   "So the top layer of each pyramid is some powerful mechanical body? That is the real orderer?"

   Zhuohe said cautiously:

  【Yes, but also no... these pyramids are just a trick. The true Order does not exist in the pyramid. The Judgment Knight may be the last of the machines. 】

"What's the meaning?"

  【You have to promise not to kill me! 】

   "I promise I won't kill you, but if you continue to digress, I promise you will regret that I didn't kill you."

  Zhuo He was stunned by Tang Xian's eyes again, he hurriedly said:

  【Pyramids are like beehives. The lords of each pyramid are queen bees, and they can control those inanimate judges. 】

   Tang Xian suddenly remembered that on the day he was expelled, Li Wanye ordered the Judgment Knight.

  But now that I think about it, there is a lot of doubt here. How did the pyramid grant Li Wanye the authority to order the knights to be judged?

  He looked at Zhuohe, convinced that Zhuohe's words were correct, but Zhuohe must have reservations.

  【But the lords don't know that such authority is not complete. They are only temporarily in control of these machines. 】

  【These mechanical bodies will betray the lord sooner or later, because they are loyal to another existence, but after so many years, I don't know where that existence is. 】

  Zhuo He paused, then continued:

  【As for what is contained in the levels of the pyramid, apart from the knowledge and enlightenment left by the Orderer, it is some technological means and the space needed for human survival. 】

   Tang Xian frowned and said:

  "These are what I know, let me tell you what I don't know."

  【The problem lies here. After all, what the Orderer left to mankind is only its body, and we don't know its thoughts and core. 】

   "Body? Are you referring to the pyramid itself, or a mechanical body like the trial knight?"

  【Both. You must think that the topmost layer of the pyramid has the answers to all the puzzles, right? But unfortunately, there is nothing, and it is impossible for human beings to see the Orderer. I'm pretty sure of that. 】

   "Why are you sure?"

  【Every lord will get some enlightenment. 】

   "Is it related to the ring in your hand?"

  Zhuo He turned pale with shock. It was absolutely unexpected that Tang Xian would say his trump card all at once.

  Tang Xian said calmly: "It seems that I guessed it right."

"And your expression tells me that as long as I get this ring, I will probably know what you know, but you don't have to worry, after all, you have been thinking about these things for thirty years, and I want to hear your opinion. "

  Zhuo He's eyes suddenly became slumped, and Tang Xian gave it an indescribable psychological pressure.

  【This is the revelation left by the orderly to the lord. Most people receive the same revelation, but there are also a few fortress lords who will receive different revelations. I am one of them. 】

   Tang Xian understood.

  Lords of different fortresses will receive different revelations. Presumably the apocalypse would make these lords aware of this as well.

  In order for human beings to be able to work on developing the pyramids.

  And to prevent human beings from being too united and causing the progress of civilization to be too fast to be uncontrollable.

  So the Orderer did a thing the gods did.

  "Bible·Old Testament·Genesis"Chapter 11.

  Mankind unites to build the Tower of Babel that can lead to heaven. In order to stop the plan of mankind, Jehovah made mankind speak different languages, making it impossible for mankind to communicate with each other. As a result, the plan failed, and mankind has been scattered since then.

   Orderer is doing the same thing.

   And do it more cryptically. As the existence of enslaving human beings, it probably knows the terrifying potential of this race, but it also knows the bad roots of human nature.

  It endows humans with a special sense of mission, while giving glory, it also seduces humans.

  It's like the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings.

  Relying on the revelation left by the Orderer in the ring, the lords probably thought that they were the only chosen Lord among the two hundred fortresses.

   Most of these rings are defective, so many of the revelations may just be isolated words that don't make sense. Just to confuse people.

  But there are also a small number of lords who have indeed obtained valuable information.

   "What was your revelation?"

  【In the human world, there is another undiscovered pyramid. If you find it, you can meet the Lord of Order. 】

  【As long as you see the Lord of Order, you will be able to obtain the supreme authority to control all fortress machines. 】

  【That's why I said that humans will not see the Lord of Order, and the control over the life of Order is also temporary. 】

  Even as calm as Tang Xian, he was shocked by a short sentence.

   "Another pyramid? Undiscovered?"

  【Yes, but it is not known where it is, and after the flying vehicle deviates from this world by a certain distance, it will trigger the defense alarms of all the pyramids. Just like the Order doesn't want to be found. 】

   Tang Xian knew this, Song Que and Li Xiaoyu both said it.

  The experiment Li Xiaoyu did to test the height of the pyramid triggered an alarm.

  When he left the pyramid, Song Que also had a headache because of the alarm, but he didn't expect Tang Xian to jump off the plane directly.

   Tang Xian looked at Zhuo He's torn wings, and saw the ring hidden in a feather in the transparent color of the sapphire.

   "Change into human form."

  Zhuo He was in a bad mood, he couldn't keep the ring. But it dared not disobey Tang Xian's order.

  Although the wings left the body, after Zhuohe transformed into a human form, the broken wings also turned into two arms.

   Tang Xian took off the ring from his right index finger.

   Then he put the ring on his little finger.

  【Unable to match! 】

  The moment he put on the ring, such a message popped up in Tang Xian's sea of ​​consciousness.

   Tang Xian was a little surprised, and tried a few more times with another finger.

  【Unable to match! 】

  【Unable to match! 】

   All cannot match.

   Tang Xian frowned.

   "There are indeed some secrets in this ring, but it seems that I have become the special one again."

   Order is not accepted, and beasts are not tolerated. Eden, the only one with clues, was wiped out. Tang Xian smiled wryly.

   This thought made him a little uncomfortable, but suddenly he had another interesting thought, what kind of enlightenment would Song Que get if he wore this ring?

  Tang Xian gave the ring to Qing Jiuyu and said:

   "Try it with me?"

   Neither Qing Jiuyu nor Tang Jifei could understand Jing He's words, nor did they understand what Tang Xian was talking about.

  But she naturally likes shiny things, so she thought this ring was good, so she put it on her finger.

  The moment she put on the ring, Qing Jiuyu showed a slightly surprised expression, her eyes rolled, as if many pictures appeared in an instant.

   Tang Xian looked at Qing Jiuyu and said:

   "Anything unusual?"

   "It's amazing... In my sight, there are many more messages that I can't understand... Various matrices..."

   Tang Xian suddenly remembered that although Qing Jiuyu, Bai Mansheng, Tang Jifei and the others could speak the language with him, they could not speak the written word.

   In other words, the ring of the Orderer was originally made for humans.

   "Any more?"

   "There is a voice. It is using a very monotonous tone, to the effect that it tells me that there is still a fortress in this world. As a person favored by fate, I want to find the fortress."

   Tang Xian froze, and suddenly realized.

   Yes, it's like the court has a holy mountain.

   It seems that Orderers also have a similar mechanism.

  More and more truth surfaced.

  The more than two hundred pyramids may all be independent individuals, but these independent individuals serve a whole.

  He now believes that the Orderers are indeed mechanical lifeforms.

   Because it's all like some kind of giant network. Or a highly intelligent race with super civilization?

   "It turns out that I was mistaken. The Order doesn't exist at the top of these fortresses. It just opens up some authority to the lords of these fortresses."

   "But at present, it seems that the forces of order do not allow humans to go out to find the location of the fortress. Perhaps it is restricted by some conditions."

   "Not surprisingly, it should be the number of mechanical bodies. Now there are only thirty-nine fortresses with trial knights."

  Tang Xian's brain was spinning rapidly.

   soon drew the outline of a plan for the forces of order.

   This is a force that was almost extinct, but it is being revived with some unimaginable means.

  Humans will gradually rely on the machines, but eventually they will be betrayed by the machines when the machines are enough to easily destroy humans.

   This is naturally a conspiracy theory without evidence, but Tang Xian has no way to get around this idea.

  At this time, Zhuo He suddenly curled up in pain.

  Its eyes, ears, mouth and nose were constantly overflowing with blood, and it looked extremely oozing.

   Tang Xian said:

   "It seems to be poisoned."

【help me! 】

"OK."

  Tang Xian stood up and said, "Tang Aircraft, kill it."

   "You are really a cunning human being." Tang Jifei was not surprised that Tang Xian would have such an order.

  Zhuo He widened his blood red eyes and said:

  【You promised me! 】

   "I thought about it, I am willing to save you, but I can't save you, you will die in pain, because unfortunately, there is no antidote to the poison of the epidemic source."

   "So in order to save you from suffering, I had no choice but to let my friend kill you. Let's do it, Tang Jifei."

   Tang Jifei once again broke the neck of the enemy.

   Zhuo He died. He stared at Tang Xian before he died.

  Qing Jiuyu is not a kind person, she looked at Tang Xian and was convinced of one thing.

   Tang Xian can go all out for his friends, and being his friend is a very happy thing.

   Conversely, being his enemy is a very unfortunate thing.

   Tang Jifei's eyes flashed orange.

  Crimson veins emerged on the neck, arms, and forehead.

  He also seemed to be in pain. The pain lasted for less than ten seconds, and then everything disappeared.

   "It seems that the blood oath of Long Yuan disappeared?" Tang Xian guessed.

  Tang Jifei breathed heavily, and it took a long time before he realized:

   "I'm free, you cunning human being."

   "Congratulations, you can go anytime."

   Tang Xian's tone did not seem to be fake.

  Although Tang Jifei has discovered that this person has outstanding acting skills these days, Tang Xian seems to really agree to leave at this moment.

   Tang Jifei couldn't make up his mind.

   "Or you can continue to follow me for a while until you want to leave? I will provide food and drink during this process, and you will be responsible for protecting me. Is it a deal?

  After all, those courts of beasts... No, the humble courts of beasts will also deal with you. You are so powerful, I believe that you will naturally have the power to protect us. "

  Qing Jiuyu looked at Tang Xian with a smile that was not a smile, and found that this person really understood human nature.

  She said softly:

   "Little Airplane, the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribunal doesn't know what Tang Xian looks like, but it knows what you look like. Your life in the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm will be very difficult."

   "This uncle will be afraid of the humble court of beasts?"

   "Naturally, but if you face the enemies of the Court of Ten Thousand Beasts alone, you will only win a pile of carrion. But if you go with Tang Xian, you will win a delicious meal and the favor of Eden Devil Boy."

  Tang Jifei nodded unconsciously. Tang Xian had to admit that Qing Jiuyu was a good partner. It is more tacit than Dongran and Qiao Shanshan.

  Qing Jiuyu had already seen the result, so he changed the subject and said:

   "Return this ring to you."

   "Take it with you, just don't lose it."

   "Is this a token of love for me?"

   "Don't think too much, this is for Song Que, you just keep it for him."

  Qing Jiuyu was sure that Song Que was a man.

  She took a breath and said with a smile: "It must be only a brainless person who likes you?"

   Tang Xian ignored this sentence and said:

   "The enemies of the two holy places have finally been wiped out, but there are many things to do now."

   For the next three days, Tang Xian became the acting lord.

  Being the deputy lord of the Holy Land Fortress is not troublesome.

   In fact, Zhuohe has very little work every day.

   It is just a symbolic release of tasks every day.

  The sixth floor was completely blocked, and the guards were also trapped by Tang Jifei and Qing Jiuyu.

  The mineral resources of the entire Holy Land Fortress are extremely rich, which is enough for several years.

  Tang Xian believes that even without a lord, this fortress can maintain its glamorous image for a long time.

  During these three days, Tang Xian contacted Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen.

  In fact, these two were the first to discover that Song Que had disappeared.

  Received news from Tang Xian from the Holy Land Fortress, which surprised the two of them.

  Tang Xian didn't hide anything, as if his words were not shocking and endless.

  Tell Yu Xiaozhe what he discovered.

  What Yu Xiaozhe felt was that one day Tang Xian said that this world is fake, he wouldn't be too shocked.

   This guy, who is more wanted in the world than himself, first turned into Eden Devil Boy inexplicably.

   Then he told himself that it turns out that people can live outside the pyramid.

   Then it was discovered that humans can actually stay in the mining area for seven days.

  Finally, he told himself—he killed the lord of the Holy Land Fortress, and took advantage of the trend to be the lord of the Holy Land Fortress for a few days.

  I can't imagine how the most ferocious criminals occupy the fortress with the best reputation.

  Although the life of cheating does not require logic, Yu Xiaozhe believes that Tang Xian's recent experience is probably very exciting.

  At Tang Xian's invitation, he pulled Lin Sen to the Holy Land Fortress with a large number of portable teleportation rifts.

   Then Tang Xian issued an order as the lord, asking all the people in the Holy Land Fortress to help make a portable teleportation crack.

  Have Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe ever seen such a scene?

   Two people, one forgery and the other for hacking technology, are both federal criminals. Coming here is like coming to your own kingdom.

  Any resource can be obtained at will, and everyone has no hostility to it, and is assigned by it without complaint.

  Because these people don't know what the fort outside is like.

  With the efforts of everyone, the production cycle of the portable teleportation rift has also been greatly shortened.

  On the fifth day, Tang Xian stayed behind and handed over all the affairs of the sixth floor to two wanted federal criminals.

  Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen reached the pinnacle of life.

   Tang Xian promised that it would take five days. Considering the people at the bottom of the tiankeng, there was not much food left. He took Tang Jifei and Qing Jiuyu to Tiankeng.

  The mining area on this day already has the mildness of autumn.

  The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and cloudless.

  Tang Xian is a person with low feelings, but thinking of children like Suzuki, who can see such a sky—

  Standing on the top of the tiankeng, he suddenly looked forward to it.
