"I'm here to see Mr. Hodney Skimp. Could you please convey this message to me?"
Victor stood near the entrance to the White Crown and was blocked by tight security, so he reported Hodney's name, hoping to use his connections to get him in.
However, today's White Crown, because Stanford has raised the security level to the highest level, even the internal affairs staff working there have been forcibly evicted, and can only accommodate people from the Ebony Tower.
Therefore, Victor's request was of course rejected.
"Sir Hodney won't see you, please go back!"
In today's situation, Stanford actually reminded Victor.
Thinking about it now, what that guy did was very strange. On the surface, he was hostile to the Police Bureau and the Anti-Suppression Department, but privately he was willing to share the secret of the "Declaration of Freedom" with Victor.
I really don’t know what kind of medicine this director of the Security Department is selling in his gourd.
However, Victor will not be stumped by this difficulty. His goal is to go to the Crystal Tower. Since he cannot let Hodney lead the way, he has to rely on himself.
After finding a hidden place to cast a water spell, Victor carefully bypassed the guards at the gate and rushed into the white crown. Along the way, he opened his eyes to observe the luck of the entire atrium and judged whether anyone was approaching him through the fluctuations of the gas.
The glass exterior wall of the Crystal Tower was a very advanced design in this era, and it was also a very obvious symbol among the six towers of the White Crown, so Victor could easily reach the bottom of the Crystal Tower.
It has to be said that when the highest security level was turned on, Stanford mobilized a large number of manpower from other places, and there were no areas with weak security.
Even in the invisible state, Victor must be very careful to avoid all patrolling guards.
Although he finally managed to sneak in through the entrance of the Crystal Tower, he had no clear goal after entering. Victor didn't know what he was looking for when he came in.
This is the disadvantage of not having Hodney to lead the way. There is no one to guide Victor, and no one to tell him what is special about this crystal tower.
He could only judge the functional zoning of the building based on the simple signs in the corridors.
After walking around furtively, Victor discovered a strange thing, that is, all the rooms in this building were empty, there were no office facilities inside, and the sign outside the door simply said 1
Office No. 2, Office No. 3, Office No. 3...
"What exactly is this crystal tower built for?"
Full of doubts, Victor saw the floor markings at the top of the stairs and found a strange symbol marked in the middle of the building, on the tenth floor.
It's like the outline of a black box.
Victor guessed that the location marked by this symbol was probably the real core of the Crystal Tower.
What is inconvenient is that the Crystal Tower is more than 20 stories high, but there is no elevator like the Brass Tower. Victor can only climb up the stairs, and he must always pay attention to the patrols who go up and down the stairs at any time.
As he climbed, he thought about what Zoe said.
She overheard the clue about this crystal tower from Miria's conversation with the man, but she only heard this word and no other information.
If the man who sent Miria the secret message was the one Victor suspected, what was the purpose of the other party planning the crystal tower in the first place?
According to Hat Master's explanation, after the guy completed the Ceremony of Enlightenment, he still needed mythical attributes and a copy of Secret Four to become an Enlightenment.
The "Declaration of Liberty" containing mythical properties is in the White Gold Tower, and it is obvious that he has succeeded.
So... there is a secret message hidden in the crystal tower?
While thinking, Victor followed the instructions in the corridor and came to the location of the black symbol.
There, he saw a dark door with a strange carving of a human face protruding from the door.
The sculpture has its eyes closed, and its hair is very thick and fluffy like a lion's hair.
Victor didn't see anything when he entered the crystal tower and arrived here. The tower seemed to have just been built and had not yet been put into the work process of the White Crown.
But this black door is incompatible with the entire crystal tower. What is hidden inside?
Could it be that... the brass tower that stores the confidential information of Saiguo is actually a cover, and the really important things are actually stored in this unmanned crystal tower?
Victor suddenly felt that he seemed to have guessed the true layout of the white crown, and the ocean in his heart suddenly became rippled.
He carefully observed his surroundings, and after confirming that no one was around, he decided to try to see if he could open the door.
He stepped forward, and the effect of the water spell just disappeared. The next second the figure appeared, Victor pressed his hand on the door and tried to push it open.
But when he came into contact with the black door, he suddenly felt a skin-like texture from the door.
He suddenly realized something and hurriedly backed away, and the face on the door opened his eyes as Victor stepped back!
Victor retreated several tens of meters and stared dumbfoundedly at the face on the black door that continued to protrude outwards, bringing out part of the body inside the door!
It was indeed a lion-like creature, but with a human face.
Victor didn't know what it was, so he subconsciously picked up the fire spell and opened his eyes to observe the opponent.
The strange thing is that there is no flow of Qi in the body of this sphinx. It merges with the Qi of the surrounding "territory" and is directly passed through the body.
This indicates that it is not a living creature, but a stone monster animated by mysterious power.
Victor couldn't see Qi in his body, so he couldn't open the eight gates in the opponent's body, so he secretly made a decision to run away first if he was attacked by a monster.
But then, the monster opened his mouth to speak, and the first sentence he said was: "What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?"
Victor's expression was stunned after hearing this, and his eyes instantly met that huge face like a locomotive.
"What did you say?" he asked tentatively.
As a result, the monster repeated what he just said.
"What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs? Guess the riddle..."
Riddle?
Victor frowned, and he suddenly thought, could the riddle be the password to open the black door?
"Sphinx?" When he thought of guessing and solving riddles, Victor came into contact with a sphinx-like monster, which was very similar to the thing in front of him.
After a moment of silence, Victor pondered the riddle and easily came up with an answer.
"A...brown snake?"
It has a head and a tail, isn’t it a snake?
However, the answer he gave was rejected by the monster.
"Mistake...the loser is about to become food..."
After saying that, the monster suddenly opened its mouth and sucked forward. A huge stream of air appeared, sending everything in front of it into its mouth.
Victor suddenly felt that his body was out of control, and was pulled towards the monster's bloody mouth by a strong suction force!
