Chapter 1756: Chapter 1754: Special Examination
Of course, someone of Mr. M’s level does not need to undergo a “Control Test”.
While Han Dong and others were being taken for testing, he went directly to the hidden entrance on the side of the Containment Tower in the Forbidden Area… a special entrance unknown and invisible to most employees.
He took a private elevator set up here, quickly ascending along the outer wall of the Containment Tower.
He arrived at the midsection area of the Containment Tower, where a special monitoring room is embedded, all facilities inside are only available for one person, also known as the – [Main Monitoring Room].
When Mr. M opened the secret door using a key constructed with Modeling Liquid,
a silver-haired man floating in the air was monitoring the status of the Containment Tower from inside.
The round collar of his clothes covered his mouth and nose, exposing only a pair of special eyes printed with symbols of [X].
He wore a straight, white coat covered with cosmic patterns,
Metal rings encircled each of his fingers, conveying a strong sense of control,
The feedback from the various values on the monitoring instruments indicated everything inside the Containment Tower was normal, in a “absolute safety” green state.
Yet, the silver-haired man’s expression was rather grim.
This person was the being assigned the original letter – [C], a significant member of the Supreme Will and also the highest administrator of the Containment Tower.
Known as “Control”, Charles Olmedo.
“Charles, you’re still here, still unable to find the ‘infiltration point’? A red document has been drafted above, planning for a complete lockdown of the Containment Tower. You should head back and get some rest.
If there really is a control breach, you’ll need to lead the suppression efforts.
Wasting time and energy here is just not worth it.”
“Mento, then what are you doing here wasting time?”
“I am not wasting time.
Do you remember the conversation we had privately after our last meeting? The ‘sole inheritor’ I’ve been cultivating has reached the Myth stage, and he is also an essential middleman with S-01.
I want to arrange for him to have a ‘comprehensive tour’.
However, Charles’s face changed, and he said seriously:
“The situation has changed, the risk of a comprehensive tour far exceeds the estimated value.
Not to mention that your inheritor will face unexpected risks and is likely to die during the tour,
if some undetected ‘Oddities’ are taken out of the Black Tower, causing a control breach, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Mento sprang into the air and wrapped an arm around Charles’s shoulder.
“Ah~ don’t be so rigid.
It’s really necessary for this guy to have a ‘comprehensive tour’. Can you take responsibility if it affects our temporary cooperation with S-01?
Moreover, if something goes wrong halfway, I’ll take full responsibility, how about that?
And even [F] supports this plan, dispatching a Phantom God with a ‘King’ status to accompany throughout.
Additionally, there’s a high-ranking Demon with pure bloodline in the team, ensuring safety can certainly be guaranteed.”
Charles’s eyes slightly shifted: “How did Francis get involved? Does this kid have connections with that guy’s club?
Even so, it doesn’t guarantee ‘safety’, but… since you both provide support, I’m curious to see what special traits this young man from S-01 possesses.
Here’s the deal, if you can meet this condition, I’ll agree to the ‘comprehensive tour’ application.”
Charles pulled out a document and handed it to Mento, continuing:
“If you want them to have a ‘comprehensive tour’, they must undergo the most conservative, direct Control Test… let one of them directly contact Origonal-03-Ⅰ.
If during an hour of contact, their physiological parameters remain above 70.
I’ll agree to let them proceed with the comprehensive tour.”
The file bag Charles tossed to Mento was emblazoned with the large characters [Origonal-03], and it was marked with “Original Data” at the bottom right corner.
Mento gazed at the document in hand, slightly frowning as he said:
“Contacting the first derivative of the ‘Original’ for an hour, and maintaining stability parameters above 70? Even during a comprehensive tour, you wouldn’t actually touch the Original, right?”
“The real situation inside the Containment Tower, even I cannot grasp, no one knows if the Original or its related items have leaked out.
This is the largest concession I can make, Mento.”
“Alright, we’ll do it your way.
Have this thing make contact with [Han Dong], if any abnormalities occur during the process, I’ll handle it personally.”
“Hmm.”
…
Control Test Area.
Three pitch-black small rooms opened in front.
According to the staff, just staying inside for some time completes the test.
“This kind of test is very simple, although different methods are used each time. But with the special traits you possess, Han Dong, you’re sure to easily achieve a high score.
I’ll go in first.”
The Headless had previously undergone a Control Test,
The wrinkles on its abdominal surface showed a very relaxed expression, and it promptly stepped into one of the rooms. When the door closed, an employee guarded the entrance.
“Sally, let’s go too.”
“Okay.”
Though it was Sally’s first time encountering this, she was also full of confidence, gracefully stepping in with her goat’s hoof into the room on the left.
Just as Han Dong was about to step into the last room, a staff member wearing a pitch-black Mask suddenly blocked the way.
“Formal Employee, Han Dong.
Please wait for a moment, we detected some leftover data residue in the current test room, it needs to be cleaned again, which will take about ten minutes.
Please have a rest.”
The employee politely pointed to a couch on the side, also serving a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Although everything seemed normal.
Han Dong still sensed something was off, as a department directly related to the Containment Tower making such an error was unusual.
Of course, it could also be because a Control Test hadn’t been conducted for a long time.
“Mr. Han Dong, the test is ready, please proceed.”
“Alright.”
When Han Dong brushed past the staff guarding the door, his perceptive senses captured a tiny detail.
Even though the “Taboo Mask” completely covered his face and even masked his presence, Han Dong noticed the skin around the neck was tense, and even exhibiting a slight tremble.
The staff wasn’t just nervous; they were even fearing something.
‘Something seems not quite right…’
Clang!
As the metal door behind him sealed shut.
Han Dong immediately heightened his focus to the maximum, also applying a red smiley face across his lip area… “Mad Laugh” was fully activated within his skull.
The setup inside the room was rather simple.
It was akin to an interrogation room.
A silver square table stood in the center, with pure silver stools on either side.
And on the inner stool sat an ‘individual’.
Completely wrapped in insulating tape, and with hands fixed behind the stool by pure silver handcuffs.
