Chapter 122: The Brand-New Changes of Babel Tower
Babel Tower has undergone significant changes.
Rather than immediately checking, Bai Yan put away his phone and glanced at his incarnation, standing next to him in the cramped compartment.
The “incarnation” created through parasitism can transform not only into the user’s own appearance but also into different forms, including animals or even small objects.
With just a thought, he changed the incarnation into the appearances of Mu Ling, Alan, and Maryse, complete with their clothes.
As expected, each one looked so lifelike that it was hard to distinguish them on the surface.
“However, if they were to face someone familiar, like Mu Ling’s butler, the ‘Mu Ling’ disguise would be easily recognized. The differences in temperament and behavior are too difficult to hide.”
“Also, the internal organs, blood vessels, bones, and other structures would definitely be different because they are just simulated, based on ‘my impression.’ I have no idea how they truly are.”
Bai Yan quickly discovered something: the speed at which he could control his incarnation’s transformation could vary.
The more complex the transformation, the slower it took. The more familiar the form, the quicker the process. For instance, it took him a long time to transform his incarnation into “Lin Bian.”
This was because he wasn’t at all familiar with Lin Bian.
Of course, Bai Yan knew well that the only thing that changed was the outward appearance; his transformed self had no physical enhancements.
“I can’t use the abilities of the transformed, only my own strength,” Bai Yan muttered to himself.
“Basically, I’m like an external ‘arm’ that can take different forms. Honestly, I don’t enjoy using so much brainpower… why can’t I just punch like Superman?”
After his usual musings, Bai Yan opened “Babel Tower” on his phone and checked the latest updates.
The first noticeable change appeared.
Bai Yan was stunned to see that the pixelated city on the interface was no longer just a background, but now a living space that could be monitored and zoomed in or out… still in pixelated form.
Nonetheless, this was impressive. Bai Yan zoomed in on the city for several minutes, revealing detailed images of streets and pedestrians on his screen.
Although it was still a pixelated version.
He swiped across the screen, inspecting each household one by one, only to see pixelated figurines.
Then Bai Yan noticed a “convert” button in the top-right corner.
When he clicked it, the pixelated scenery on the phone screen transitioned into hyper-realistic images. The process took only a few seconds.
This time, it was no longer a pixelated version, but a real-life scene.
A clear image showed a family of three eating together in the video, completely unaware they were being monitored by the “Savior.” From that moment on, every person in the city became “Observable.”
“Real-time monitoring throughout the city… it’s an extraordinary ability, but it’s also mentally exhausting.”
Bai Yan remained quiet for a moment before minimizing the screen on his phone and switching to the Demon Hunt Agency’s location. He zoomed in multiple times to the interior of the agency.
Sure enough, I can directly monitor the internal situation of the Demon Hunt Agency!
“This feature is great, but it’s a bit of a finger workout.”
He continuously moved his fingers up, down, left, and right, shifting the “real-time monitoring” to the first team.
Alan, Lin Bian, and other Night Watchers appeared on the screen, unaware they were being “broadcasted live,” each engaged in their own activities.
As Bai Yan monitored the city as the “Savior,” he found it amusing. This ability was great for controlling the big picture and uncovering secrets that would be hard to find otherwise.
Although it wasn’t difficult to deduce, he instinctively understood that probably no one under the “divine” would ever notice his surveillance.
Bai Yan then scrolled on the screen, now focusing on the 12th team’s office.
Miss Merete Chambers, the Moon Witch, was having a conversation with Holly.
She hadn’t attended the last captain’s birthday party, and it wasn’t clear what she had been doing instead.
However, Merete Chambers had made up for her absence with an impressive gift, even leaving Adelaide somewhat surprised, suggesting that few people truly understood her preferences.
It was a book with strong literary value.
From the live stream, Bai Yan inferred that the bond between Merete Chambers and Holly had grown very strong in just a few days. It seemed that nearly everyone liked this witch.
“Holly, there’s something I’ve been wondering.”
“What’s that?”
“How many days a year do rabbits go into heat?”
“You and Bai Yan can die together.”
She remained relaxed, unaware of anything unusual under “surveillance.”
If the witch had suddenly looked up at that moment, Bai Yan would have been startled.
Bai Yan, now silent, continued moving his fingers.
He shifted the “real-time monitoring” to the bathroom he was in.
Bai Yan, watching the live stream on his phone, saw himself looking at the live stream on his phone…
He slowly lifted his head and stared at the ceiling of the bathroom.
Trying to find the object of surveillance.
However, there was nothing on the ceiling of the bathroom.
“The principle is unclear…”
Bai Yan noticed the incarnation “Lin Bian” still standing in the bathroom, feeling a little scared. He immediately released the “parasite,” transforming it back into its original form: a roll of toilet paper.
The second new transformation.
Bai Yan realized he could now see the inside of Babel Tower simply by using his phone, rather than having to enter himself.
He surveyed each building and discovered things he never knew existed.
“Not surprising, you were all inside.”
Bai Yan observed the post-production staff “confined” in one large scientific facility after another.
Though he had never met them personally, he knew in his heart that these were likely captured cultists, Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices, or criminals.
As he adjusted the lens with his fingers, he also saw the creatures bound within the facility.
There were both humanoid and non-humanoid monsters, each more ferocious than the last.
They existed as research subjects inside Babel Tower, every moment of the day.
Surveying the surroundings calmly, Bai Yan noticed the logistics staff were living in poor conditions while the monsters were enduring some degree of abuse.
“Oh my, this is too tragic, inhumane, unbearable… I can’t bear to watch… I’ll stop watching now.”
Bai Yan shook his head and stopped viewing.
However, he never considered releasing these scumbags or monsters.
It’s still two months until the First Doomsday Crisis. If he can save the world by using them, he’d definitely need a big blender!
He realized he lacked any trace of saintliness, and even found himself somewhat cruel toward villains.
The third transformation of Babel Tower, the final one.
Bai Yan realized his connection with the Core Operators had grown even stronger.
“Perhaps the various changes in Babel Tower weren’t only due to the ‘game,’ but also partly because of the power of ‘connection.'”
Lately, he had been able to watch the Core Operators’ live broadcasts in real time.
But now, it wasn’t just about watching the stream. He could also interact in the “live room”!
Bai Yan experimented and switched to the “Psychic Dancer’s” live mode.
At that moment, Maryse was having her meal.
She sat on the bed in a pink camisole, watching TV, and holding a box of food in her hands.
Bai Yan wondered if it was breakfast or lunch, or maybe even her third or fourth meal of the day.
After all, Maryse’s Relic needed a lot of food.
This live broadcasting feature had existed before, but this was a new addition.
Bai Yan noticed a simple “typing field” displayed on the mobile phone screen.
After thinking for a moment, he typed in a single word.
“Psychic Dancer.”
——
Maryse was eating her meal in her small house.
She genuinely enjoyed the food from the outside world. Compared to fish roe and blue lobsters, chicken fillet and meat skewers were much tastier!
“Escaping was indeed the best thing!”
Maryse narrowed her eyes and licked the juice off her fingers.
During this time, she had learned how to use her new abilities and realized how much her strength had increased.
Her former self would have been no match for her current self.
“Deep Red – Divine Punishment, such a powerful force… was it really granted to me and Mu Ling so easily? Was it worth dedicating ourselves to you?”
Maryse murmured to herself as she ate.
“Or should I say… these powers for you, they’re completely unworthy of mention?”
Just then, Maryse heard a familiar, cold, and ruthless voice in her mind.
[Psychic Dancer.]
Despite an involuntary shiver, she quickly composed herself without much surprise.
Hmm, Maryse had grown accustomed to this.
Babel Tower, Savior, and everything else… she had become quite used to it all.
“Come on, come on. I haven’t had a drink of water yet. If you want to manipulate me, just go ahead.”
Maryse muttered, quickly wiping her hands and mouth with a tissue, closing her eyes, and waiting.
[The real battle will come after two months.]
In her mind, Maryse read the cryptic and ominous words, which made her pause.
She realized this time, she wasn’t being manipulated. The voice simply came and went without her doing anything.
The Savior had only feigned an attack, leaving behind a prophecy.
“Will the real battle come after two months?”
Maryse furrowed her brow slightly, lost in thought.
What did this mean?
There must be a deeper meaning, or the Savior wouldn’t have told her. Perhaps it was a warning!
Her pupils narrowed, but she couldn’t understand…
“Savior” was simply testing out a new feature.
