The majestic central building stood on a high platform in the center of Nuo Jin's central district.
In addition to this high platform, there were various small buildings scattered around the high platform like planets. These buildings were all famous places: the Supreme Court, the Supreme Tax Department, the Supreme Police Station, and the House of Representatives.
After all, the huge Nuo Jin was a large and complex machine. It was impossible to operate without countless components and screws.
If Boss Lin was here, perhaps he would sigh — although Nuo Jin was small, it had all the internal organs.
However, whether these so-called "highest" buildings could let ordinary people in was a problem.
On the high platform built in the center of the central district where every inch of land was worth gold, there was a dense, green, and beautiful man-made forest that the civilians in the Upper City District would probably never see in their entire lives. There was also a building that was hundreds of floors high.
This forest was used to regulate the air, so people called this forest "Nuo Jin's Lungs."
Nuo Jin's Lungs?
It was just a bonsai in the central district.
Even the right to breathe was not something that the poor could easily enjoy. Only the people who lived in the central district of Nuo Jin could truly enjoy the so-called fresh environment created by this forest. What the others breathed was only the residue of industry.
If one was lucky enough to climb up to the high platform and look in from the front of the central district, one could see the central district's skyscraper that seemed to reach into the clouds. The first website was m.9biquge. com
Gathered there were aristocrats with real power, as well as the central district's ten "noble people".
However, this was just the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the ocean. No one knew that under this huge building, the underground that was thousands of meters deep, the underground that was revealed after passing through countless dark rock layers —
There was a huge space.
This endless space was like a dream. There was no blue sky, sun, or moon. There was only an empty pitch-black cave and an indescribably huge inverted tree that could not be seen with one's eyes.
This inverted tree was really too big. Even the imagination could not catch a glimpse of its full appearance. However, at this time, the old people gathered under the countless branches knew.
This inverted tree ran through the entire Steel City.
The white-robed old men standing under the tree were so old that their skin was so wrinkled that it was impossible to distinguish their appearance, gender, and identity. They could only be addressed as "old men".
They were the true masters of the Adjudication Bureau.
One of them, an old man with a white beard, had a big nose like a thick worm hanging on his face, perhaps because of his age. He gently pinched his beard and said, "Humphrey, who we sent to the auction, is dead."
"It seems that we still underestimated the bookstore owner."
The other people's drooping eyelids suddenly opened. Their turbid yellow eyes seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of dust, full of granules, making one's scalp tingle.
"Yes, except for the Monitor Captain Humphrey, everyone else has been implanted with the Evil God's Seed."
The big-nosed old man continued.
"Barr, did the bookstore owner kill Humphrey?"
Another old man with a walking stick replied. His face was so old that it looked as if it was weighed down by two weights.
The big-nosed old man Barr wore a grave expression, and he continued, "No, it was done by someone from the lower city."
"What?!"
The few of them seemed to have received some shocking news. The old men actually stood up from the tree trunks. They were even more surprised than when they found out that the cannon fodder they sent to the auction had died.
The bookstore owner's strength was obvious to all, but the death of Humphrey and the other spies sent by the central hub only refreshed their understanding of Boss Lin's strength. However, the people from the lower city … actually came up!
"How did he do it?!" One of the old ladies was so excited that her whole body trembled. She was even a little scared. She said sternly, "How did those animals from the lower city come up?!"
Barr glanced at her and comforted her, "Calm down, Asmodeus. Don't be surprised."
After hearing Barr's comfort, the old lady called Asmodeus took a deep breath and calmed her expression, but she immediately heard Barr continue.
"After all, you will be even more surprised later."
Asmodeus was speechless.
Barr continued slowly, "Because I suspect, no, I'm basically sure that the people from the lower city … were guided by Boss Lin."
As soon as Barr's voice fell, the few of them seemed to have fallen into a state of silence.
In order to break the silence, Barr continued to speak as if he was revealing something. He said, "I don't know how the people from the lower city arrived in the upper city, but he did seem to be guided by some kind of power. He killed Humphrey and got the masterpiece that is said to be written by Boss Lin."
"This series of events is full of coincidences. For example, the books at the auction will choose their own owners. As Boss Lin's works are the most representative of his existence, but he chose Humphrey, who has achieved nothing. How is this possible?"
"I'm afraid …" Barr closed his eyes, and his tone was full of a long sigh. "All of this is the bookstore owner's conspiracy."
"It seems that we have to fight with him. Since he dares to touch the lower city, he is shaking the foundation of the entire Nuo Jin." The youngest old man among all the old men suddenly said, and his tone was full of righteousness.
"Azaray, you are still so belligerent." Barr frowned and said with a hint of mockery, "But before we fight, we might as well use our brains. Do you think that we can defeat the bookstore owner now?"
Azaray was stunned. He did not expect Barr to admit that he could not defeat the bookstore owner so quickly. He had no dignity at all.
"Humph, as timid as a mouse!" Azaray turned his head to the side, feeling very awkward.
"He is an existence that can force the Road of the Fire Sword to join forces, destroy the Dome Church, and casually arrange two god-level Extraordinaires to turn the entire Nuo Jin upside down. Have you forgotten? That time reversal … If it were not for the existence of that person, we would have been completely unaware of it. "
The shortest old man among them continued.
"I think that his arrangement of two god-level Extraordinaires to fight is fake. His real purpose is to demonstrate his power to us."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment. "Not to mention, he can predict everything so accurately. The development of the situation has never exceeded his expectations. He must be familiar with the past and the future. Maybe …"
He hesitated for a moment and continued, "We are plotting here, and he can see it clearly?"
"Nonsense, alarmist. You are really something, Amon," Azaray said angrily. Acharay said angrily. He then pointed at the inverted tree whose edge could not be seen and scolded loudly, "You are helping others to put down your own prestige. Can I take your words as disrespecting the Tree Witch?!"
Amon shrugged and sneered. He was about to refute, but he was directly interrupted by Barr.
"Quarreling so much. Are you trying to influence the mother of the entire Nuo Jin to fight alone against the gray fog and protect Nuo Jin, the great witch of the tree, Flakinas, who is in deep sleep?"
Barr's words shut the two of them up, and the few of them fell into silence for a moment.
Barr then sighed a few times and walked towards the only hanging fruit of the huge inverted tree. Everyone also walked towards him with reverence in their hearts.
"No matter what, it is impossible to start a war with him now. What the Road of the Flaming Sword did previously has already pried open the crack of the dream, and the gray fog has begun to spread. Even Nuo Jin is in danger. For now, we should not make a move. Wait for the Road of the Flaming Sword to make a move, and then we will sit back and watch the situation and reap the benefits."
"However, when that time comes, we will have to disturb the long sleep of the witch Flakinas." Barr walked in front of the fruit that was as large as a person. There was a small transparent window on the top of the fruit, and from the outside looking in …
A girl with a face as beautiful as an angel's and green hair was lying naked in the middle. Her skin was white and delicate, but there were some green branches growing out of it, which made her even more beautiful.
Especially in her lower abdomen, there was a thick branch growing out of her womb like an umbilical cord. It was constantly extracting nutrients from her body and delivering them to the entire inverted tree that supported Nuo Jin and maintained the wall of the gray fog.
From a certain point of view, this witch of the tree was the power source of the entire Nuo Jin's structure and protection. Nuo Jin was like a fetus in her womb that was constantly absorbing her nutrients.
Her long green eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she was having a long and beautiful dream. The corners of her beautiful face were slightly curved, as if she was a young girl.
