Chapter 580: A Planned Scheme

Three months later in the virtual world.

At midnight, a rather large mechanical bird flew into an empty alley.

The mechanical bird, with a comical pair of glasses perched on its head, calmly shared information about the Dark Song Order.

And so, the story began to unfold, painting a vivid picture of the situation.

“The situation is like this…”

The mechanical bird adjusted its comical glasses and concluded the briefing.

In front of it stood a middle-aged man in a gray uniform, his expression determined but somewhat weary.

He was a senior law enforcement officer in the city, and for some time, he had been investigating the Dark Song Order.

“Mr. A, the information you provided about the Dark Song Order is very important. Thank you for your assistance over the past year.”

This was Nian’s “special channel.”

For the past two years, Nian had been extremely busy. As an important figure in the Giant Hive, she had access to a vast amount of knowledge and was familiar with many technologies beyond the current era of this virtual world.

So, Nian reached out to the government of this virtual world, using her advanced futuristic technology as leverage, seeking cooperation.

Although she could mostly provide scientific theories, due to the limitations of existing conditions, she couldn’t offer many practical scientific applications.

However, for the scientists of this world, these were like advanced theories from the future—much like Einstein presenting the theory of relativity 20 years before it was due. This knowledge formed a dimensional attack on their understanding of science!

The government quickly took notice of Nian, and she became a person of interest.

Afterward, Nian disguised herself as “Mr. A” and made contact with the authorities. She also carried out a series of tests that essentially ruled out the possibility of the enemy being within the government.

However, after the Dark Song Order attracted many high-class individuals, the enemy must have realized that this “Mr. A” was actually a rival to the Babel Tower.

But this was already part of Nian’s expectations.

“Next, what are you going to do?” the mechanical bird asked, speaking on behalf of Nian from afar.

The law enforcement officer fell silent for a moment. He shook his head and said, “We still need to investigate further. Well, so far, they haven’t done anything really excessive, so we can’t just arrest them all… After all, it involves too many high-ranking individuals, and the situation is far too connected.”

“Something went wrong, didn’t it?” Nian pondered for a moment, then retrieved a well-preserved vial from the “belly” of the mechanical bird. Inside it was a strange substance of deep green color.

“This thing is the crucial evidence they are plotting with.”

The middle-aged man was taken aback, sensing an unease from that deep green color. He carefully took the vial, his hands trembling. “What is this?” he asked.

Nian explained calmly, “Simply put, this is a very powerful and terrifying drug. Once a quantity exceeding two tons is produced, it can kill everyone in the entire city.”

“What did you say?” The middle-aged man was shocked. His hands trembled, but he quickly tightened his grip, afraid the drug might leak.

Nian continued, “During these past few months, they have been secretly manufacturing this.”

After three months of undercover work, Nian was now fully aware of the Dark Song Order’s operations. She also learned how Silence managed to establish the Dark Song Order in just two years and attract so many high-class individuals.

The key to their success was a magical potion.

Using knowledge from Noah’s world, Silence had cultivated highly unique drugs. Some could influence human thoughts, while others enhanced physical strength or cured ailments that contemporary medicine could not address.

With the help of this magical potion, the Dark Song Order immediately began to thrive.

Silence also revealed the truth about their world—that it was make-believe and that there was nothing beyond the city.

Although people were skeptical, they couldn’t see the light walls surrounding the city, and Silence cleverly used various methods to prove its truth.

Playing with people’s hearts was her specialty all along.

For many years, this same situation had been playing out in different parts of Noah’s world, as well as in the world outside Noah’s.

For Silence, all of this was a familiar path.

In addition to the influence of the drug, the members of the Dark Song Order became increasingly convinced of Silence’s abilities.

And so, Silence embarked on the next step of her plan:

To create poison and kill everyone in the city.

Inside the Dark Song Order’s secret messages, Silence claimed she would lead the people out of the virtual world and into the real world.

But in reality, her intention was to poison and kill everyone.

As long as she remained the last living person in the city, she would have won the game.

Ultimately, Silence didn’t need to determine who the participants of the Babel Tower game were.

The middle-aged man was still in shock. Nian continued, “You must stop the Dark Song Order. They plan to offer this city to the so-called ‘Dark Song.’ If the Dark Song Order succeeds, everyone will die.”

She then manipulated the mechanical bird, spreading its wings and soaring away from the middle-aged officer.

One week later.

Nian received new information.

All members of the Dark Song Order were set to gather inside the church she had visited that Saturday evening.

At that time, every member would be present, and they immediately made the decision to set a trap and capture everyone on the spot.

“Finally, is it time for the ultimate showdown?” Nian thought deeply.

The second week arrived quickly.

Saturday evening.

One by one, luxury cars stopped near the church. Masked figures silently stepped out of the black cars and gathered inside the church.

Today, they were there to listen to the Dark Song.

The magnificent song of silence.

Only in this way could people’s souls take a step further and draw closer to the great Dark Song. In the end, they would find peace in that world.

The Dark Song Order was ultimately just another form of the Dead Silence, and the Dark Song they believed in was, in fact, the Peaceful Songstress.

The ultimate goal given by Silence remained unchanged.

At last, they would find peace.

Inside the church, the members of the Dark Song Order gathered.

Nian was also among the crowd.

Silence enveloped everything.

Everyone remained silent.

This was the demand of the Dark Song Order, which always had a reluctance towards ‘sound.’ In fact, Dead Silence held the same sentiment during their regular gatherings.

For many years, Silence had never uttered a word.

“…”

Finally, Nian caught sight of her target.

A girl wearing a mask, still dressed in a black cloak, stepped out.

The masked girl arrived among the crowd, shrouded in mystery.

She gently raised her hand, and soon a tall masked old man appeared, holding a stone tablet inscribed with words. It revealed the next instructions regarding the Dark Song Order.

The poison had been prepared.

The next step was to administer the poison.

Nian saw it and quietly pressed the button on her wristband.

The law enforcement team outside received the message and, without hesitation, stormed into the church for a surprise attack!

“Don’t move, raise your hands!”

“What’s going on?”

“Who are they?”

“Why is there…”

“Don’t catch me!”

The silence was finally broken, and the people inside the church became startled and panicked.

Nian Zhang remained calm, her gaze fixed on the girl in the black robe, who remained composed.

It seemed as though everything was part of a carefully crafted plan.
