Chapter 56 Prologue: The Tower of Babel

Chapter 56 Prologue: The Tower of Babel

It was a giant city full of tall buildings, slowly moving across the surface of the planet under a huge protective cover in the sky. The protective cover perfectly simulated different weathers, bringing purified air and pure sunlight to the city.

The huge high-rise buildings made of steel are layered on top of each other to form different partitions, but all the high-rise buildings have exactly the same shape, as if divided into well-ordered boundaries by a perfect computer.

Every street, every building, and the distance and size between every floor are strictly controlled without any distinction or gap.

The street lamps on both sides of the road, which were turned on at night, emitted a milky white light, turning the already white road into a pale color.

From time to time, a few cars passed by on the road, flashing neon lights, driving slowly at almost the same speed.

There was no congestion, no sign, but it seemed to be driving in an orderly manner according to some default rules.

It seems that everything here is progressing in the most rigid, ruthless and fixed way.

That is order.

Order rules everything here.

In the very center of that steel city, you can finally see an extremely prominent towering building.

Its slender body rose from the ground and rushed straight to the clouds, tightly connecting the ground and the protective shield in the sky.It seems to be the only special place in this city. Compared with other buildings carved out of a mold, only this building stands out with a different design.

In fact, it is indeed the most special place in the city.

It is the place in the world where the most high-end technology gathers, contains the greatest power, and has the richest financial resources.

It is the lighthouse of the world, the maker of all orders, and the end of all desires.

It is the center of the "upper layer", a huge machine controlled by Gu,

It was called the "Tower of Babel".

As I said before, this building is very special, and it is the only place in the upper floor where "desires" can work legally.Those who come from the "Nest of Desire" can sacrifice their few lives in this place in exchange for a lot of money.

The "desires" who come here will abandon everything, names, identities, and status. Those who have been given numbers will use their bodies to dedicate to Gu, so that Gu's work and research can go smoothly
Tower of Babel, a certain floor.

It was already evening, and these "desires" who had entered the Tower of Babel finally had time to take a rest, and they could sit down and rest at will in every corner of this floor.

Of course, the time is only half an hour.

This period of time is relatively casual, and they can talk freely in the wide rest area, chatting about their previous life, work, and current mood.
Of course, such time is not much, so the room was very noisy for a while, with the noise and commotion that the upper class could not bear.

Therefore, basically no upper-class people will come in to take care of them at this time, because these "desires" are very self-conscious.

They are not prisoners, and they don't need to be guarded. They will complete the work assigned to them by the Tower of Babel, and exchange their limited lives for generous rewards.

But now, a young upper-class person walked in here quietly, and no one noticed her.

Her blue hair is very beautiful, combined with her beauty that cannot be concealed even though she is young, it highlights her extraordinary and extraordinary.

But the face that should have been innocent and childlike now has only expressionless indifference and indifference, just silently watching the desirers who are communicating around, as if observing their behavior and movements.

But I really couldn't stand the noise of their communication, so I could only sit in the corner and stay as far away as possible within the distance that I could observe them.

"Yo, you are from the upper class, right? Why are you here?" A woman noticed the little girl in the corner for some reason, walked over with a smile, sat down beside her and started talking.

The little girl gave her an emotionless glance, and didn't like her approaching, but she still said, "Observe."

"Observation?" The woman followed her line of sight curiously, looked at those who were active in the field, and smiled, "What's there to observe? Isn't this a normal communication?"

"It's an abnormal communication." The girl said suddenly, recording something.

"I always feel that the upper class is not normal." The woman was a little speechless, holding her chin and said.

"We have debated for hundreds of years about who is a normal human being between the upper class and the lustful, but it is generally believed that our way of life is more normal, long-lived, efficient, and orderly." The little girl still has nothing Expression, repeated.

The woman curled her lips helplessly. There was really no way to refute her words, so she had to change the subject abruptly and said, "What's your name?"

"Gu Qinghan" the girl's blue eyes turned to the woman, and asked at the same time, "What about you?"

"Li Mu. Er, or you can call me number, 2048." The woman laughed.

"By the way, your surname is Gu?" The woman looked at the girl in surprise. After all, the entire Tower of Babel is managed by the Gu family. It can be said that the person with the surname Gu is the uncrowned king of this world, although the upper class people don't have much That's all for class differences, they just want to do their job well.

"Well, the executor of the Tower of Babel is my mother." When the girl mentioned her mother, her expression didn't fluctuate, as if she was just stating a fact.

"So you were born?" 2048 shook his head regretfully, "It doesn't feel good to grow up like this. Although I didn't have any relationship with my parents before, it was born normally anyway."

"You used to be an upper-class person?" Gu Qinghan finally revealed a little surprise.

"Yes, the area in M ​​is closer to the 'Nest of Desire'." 2048 finally showed a little smile.

"Then you are so pitiful." Gu Qinghan really didn't understand why a well-behaved upper-class person would change from a normal person to such a pathetic "desire". She opened her mouth, but she still asked,

"How did you...become a 'desire'?"

"What's the reason? I fell in love with you when I met you." Instead, 2048 looked at Gu Qinghan with puzzled eyes, as if it was a matter of course, but she also knew in her heart that this is not the mainstream in this world.

They feel ashamed of this, thinking it is a violation and destruction of order.

Regardless of men and women, it is clear that the body produces desire, but they regard it as a limitation of human physiology, and regard love as the ultimate extension of desire.

It's no wonder that once they become "desires", they will only have one to four years to live. Of course, some live longer, maybe seven to eight years
2048 sighed, and then said, "This world must be cursed by the gods, so that the birth of such a normal relationship involves life and death, so it developed into this pathological state."

Gu Qinghan was very calm, and said, "You are imagining. The so-called curse is just a word that you 'desires' believe in. When a group of people deviates from the environment of the world, they will always come up with many excuses to make themselves His existence became reasonable, but he didn’t know that he had already walked on the wrong path.”

She paused, "Besides, the mechanism of the 'desire' has been clarified." She raised the watch on her hand and detected the magnetic field of the people around her and herself.

I saw that the magnetic field of 2048 was attracted by someone far away, and it kept moving in that direction in an irregular way.But Gu Qinghan's magnetic field was straight, without any fluctuations.

"Once you become a 'desire', you will eventually die due to the abnormal fluctuation of your own magnetic field." Gu Qinghan raised his head and looked at 2048 sadly. Her magnetic field fluctuated very violently, which symbolized that death was coming.

2048 smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter, after I die, although the magnetic field on the other side will still fluctuate, it will not become irregular fluctuations, and he will live a healthy and happy life."

That's why "desire nests" exist, places where many "desires" live together who have either lost a partner or are enjoying the life of a few mates
Gu Qinghan finally didn't answer, but just looked at the woman in front of her with strange emotions in her eyes without fluctuation.

She didn't quite understand, and of course, she didn't want to understand.

The bells of "Ding Ding Ding" rang from the edge of the venue, which meant that the time for their activities was over, and this conversation also came to an end.

2048 stood up and looked at Gu Qinghan with a smile, "If you can meet someone who makes your magnetic field fluctuate, I believe you will understand how I feel."

Gu Qinghan also stood up, closed the notebook that recorded the characteristics of the "desire" in his hand, and said, "Unfortunately, that day will not happen."

"Well, it's my honor to meet the young master of the Tower of Babel!" 2048 bowed slightly to Gu Qinghan, and then took out a strange item, "We may not meet next time, just Give this to you as a present!"

"What is this?" Gu Qinghan took the strange little ring from the opponent's hand, and looked at whether there were any hidden technologies and mechanisms in this item, but of course, found nothing.

"This is the ring, I made it." 2048 had already gone a long way, when he suddenly turned around and smiled, "It symbolizes the oath with us."

"boring."

Gu Qinghan felt that this kind of strange object worn on the hand symbolized the oath was simply boring, and it was a waste of time, energy and materials.

But thinking that the other party might die soon, but gave herself a gift before she died, she still didn't throw away this thing, but was going to take it back and put it in the sundry pile.

"The desirer."

She silently watched the other party smile and wave to herself in front of the door, and then walked into the long passage.The door was closed, Gu Qinghan could no longer see the figure of the other party, but he remembered this conversation firmly.

“What a boring bunch of people”
