I’m the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization - Chapter 388

“What?”

Amy blinked in surprise, a Crown Ceremony?

By the way.

At that moment, Amy remembered that most of the people in the Babel Tower had also reached that level.

Although in the past, the mighty “Crown” used to be a formidable presence in her heart, almost beyond reach.

But as of today, being a member of the Babel Tower, it was quite normal to ascend to the rank of “Crown”.

“Well, speaking of it, it’s also my turn.”

She nodded gently.

According to Amy’s observations, at the core members of the Babel Tower, they would be arranged for the appropriate Crown Ceremony.

So far, every core member of the Babel Tower who underwent the Crown Ceremony achieved immediate promotion on their first attempt.

To other extraordinary beings, this seemed almost impossible.

In fact, the vast majority of those at the Potential Crown level among the extraordinary beings had tried to undergo the Crown Ceremony. [Past tense correction]

However, except for those large powers that have designated individuals suitable for the Crown Ceremony, many people would probably need to undergo at least three Crown Ceremonies before having a chance to be successfully promoted.

The real unlucky one, could never be promoted to a Crown in their entire life.

But here at the Babel Tower, the ceremony to become a Crown was no longer a game of luck, and this was a very powerful advantage of the “Babel Tower” story.

Perhaps there were some Potential Crowns, extraordinary individuals who had been stuck for over a decade or even several decades, who, not for anything else about the Babel Tower, but for this very reason, were willing to give up everything and join the Babel Tower.

“Um, I will cooperate, but how should I cooperate?”

Amy asked in this way, but she didn’t receive a further response.

Amy had grown accustomed to it; this is just how the Savior was – always appearing and disappearing with sudden voices.

When the Omnics returned, Amy conversed with each “person” as well.

She noticed that some people felt puzzled, others felt excited, and there were even some who felt discouraged by the act of killing, they even “cried” like humans.

Amy realized that not all Omnics were suited for killing.

She understood that she should treat them as she would treat humans, taking them seriously. These children were undoubtedly her “sisters,” not tools, and certainly not soldiers.

Late at night, while she was deep in thought, she suddenly discovered that someone was attempting to connect to the local network she had built.

“Hmm?”

“Why would there be a stranger trying to connect to this local network?” Amy immediately became alert. This was not supposed to happen!

Could it be that everything in the secret base has already been discovered?

After a moment of silence, Amy finally accepted the invitation. Even if the base was discovered, she had many backup plans.

It doesn’t matter.

Afterwards, she received a secret message.

Red Iris, “I am a senior Maintainer named ‘Red Iris’… I’m delighted to meet you, Mr. ‘X’.”

What is a Maintainer?

It seems that in the end, they were unable to keep the secret of this place.

At first, they never thought they could keep it forever, but they didn’t expect it to be exposed so quickly.

Amy took a deep breath and replied through the internet using encryption.

Mr. X said, “Hello, Red Iris, I am Mr. X.”

Mr. X said, “One day, I will free the Ring City from the rule of Rock Morgan. When people wake up in the morning, they will no longer carry heavy debts.”

Red Iris asked, “Is that so, Ms. Amy? Is that really what you think?”

Amy’s heart was immediately filled with a tumultuous wave of shock!

Does he know my true identity?

How did he manage to do it?

In fact, just a few seconds ago, Amy had been frantically hacking into the network, trying to find the location and identity of “Red Iris”!

However, something terrifying happened. She didn’t gain anything at all. Surprisingly, the other person seemed completely unafraid of her abilities!

What’s going on?

She had rarely felt fear in her entire life.

Red Iris said, “Ms. Amy, let’s make a deal.”

Mr. X asked, “What do you want to do?”

Red Iris said, “It’s very simple. You can either choose for your brother to die, or, from now on, you can work for our company… It’s a fair decision, right? What do you think?”

Red Iris said, “As long as you join Rock Morgan, you will be able to move to the 199th floor and even step into the highest 200th floor in the future. There’s also a chance for you to become a member of the top-notch society.”

Amy had already contacted her brother as soon as possible.

But she soon discovered that she couldn’t reach him at all, with no sign of him anywhere.

At this moment, Amy’s heart was filled with regret. If she had brought her brother to the base earlier, or used the power of Babel Tower to transport him directly to another city, they wouldn’t be in the current predicament.

Mr. X said, “Rock Morgan’s lackeys, don’t think you can act recklessly. If you dare to harm him, I promise, Rock Morgan will pay a huge price.”

Amy didn’t choose to compromise, nor did she choose to plead. Instead, she immediately resorted to making a threat.

She knew that begging Rock Morgan’s merciless group was pointless, and only by exerting a strong presence could they be restrained.

Red Iris, “Our risk assessor has already calculated the potential dangers, and if you refuse, we will quickly eliminate you with strategic weapons… Please join our company and become our exclusive hacker. Alternatively, does Ms. Amy, do you want to be eliminated together with your brother?”

Red Iris said, “Make your choice, take ten minutes to think.”

Amy fell silent.

She had long known that the Maintainers of the Rock Morgan group were not easy to deal with, but she never imagined that her identity information would be uncovered so quickly and thoroughly.

How did they manage to do it, after all?

Amy couldn’t comprehend, but she knew she had to make a decision at this moment.

In her heart, she kept praying and praying silently to the Savior, hoping that the Savior of the Babel Tower in this moment could provide assistance.

However, a despairing event occurred.

No matter how Amy prayed in her heart, the Savior never responded at all.

Why is it like this?

In her whole life, there has never been a time when Amy longed for help more than now, even when she was taken away by the company and turned into an experiment, she was never this desperate.

At that time, Amy believed that as long as she persisted, she would eventually be able to return to her family’s side.

In fact, it was exactly like that. After being completely “discarded,” she was heartlessly abandoned by the company and returned to her brother’s side.

“Brother…”

Amy fell into deep thought, her fingers trembling slightly.

At this moment, she had already sent a distress call to all the Babel Tower operators using the internet, but she also knew that help from afar couldn’t solve the immediate problem.

Amy recalled the little moments she had shared with her brother.

Those were unforgettable times.

Because of their parents’ massive debt, young Rock Morgan was forcibly taken away by people from Rock Morgan and made to be a “guinea pig” for the company for a period of time.

What a painful experience!

Every day, Amy would stay in a separate transparent room, unable to leave. She was forced to undergo various examinations, tests, and training by the fully armed “doctors.” They would inject her with all sorts of strange medications.

The transparent rooms were arranged in a grid pattern. Amy could see all the other subjects, but she couldn’t communicate with them because of the soundproof walls.

Because of the side effects of the medication, Amy would have sleepless nights, experience incontinence, suffer from headaches, and have allergic reactions. These were all very common occurrences for her.

She saw the people next door being taken away by the company. Some of them never came back, while others returned but were mentally unstable or experienced enormous physical changes.

In the room across from Amy, there lived a little girl with red hair. She was always cheerful and optimistic.

Even though she couldn’t communicate with Amy verbally, she would express herself through facial expressions, gestures, and smiles on the Transparent Wall every day.

The two of them were friends who had never spoken to each other before.

But one day, the little girl didn’t come back for a long time.

When the little girl returned, her body had undergone a terrifying transformation, covered in blood-red ulcers that made even more repulsive wriggling movements.

The smile on the little girl’s face also vanished, leaving only numbness.

On that evening, Amy witnessed a monster emerge from within the little girl!

Later, the company’s people took away the monster, and the lifeless little girl was carried away by indifferent staff members.

Under the power of capital, the company transformed everyone.

The horror and despair made it impossible for her to ever forgive Rock Morgan!

“Sooner or later, I will completely destroy the company that controls the Ring City.”

When Amy joined the Babel Tower, she quietly made this wish deep in her heart.

Now, the choice of being forced to serve Rock Morgan was right in front of her.

Promising and then going back on her word was not an option, Amy knew that the Rock Morgan group was not foolish.

They were accustomed to signing electronic versions of “soul contracts” with people they wanted to control.

That was a terrifying thing created by a powerful lord of hell. Once someone signed the “soul contract” themselves, they would be obligated to serve Rock Morgan in the days to come.

For present-day Amy, this was completely more difficult to accept than death itself.

However, if she refused.

Her own brother would pass away.

Amy remembered her past experiences, when after participating in a certain medication experiment, her limbs underwent a strange transformation, almost like the hands of a demon, nearly killing everyone present in the process.

So, the Maintainer at the scene immediately took action, completely shattering their own limbs, and one of their eyes also lost its function due to the mutation.

In the midst of wailing and agony, they transformed into a disabled person, never to regain their once healthy body… until they joined the Babel Tower.

She still remembers the heartbreaking scene when she was discarded like trash by the company, and sent back to her brother. The big boy sobbed uncontrollably as he embraced her tightly.

Warmth.

From him, Amy felt an unprecedented warmth and comfort.

Back then, Amy was in a state of complete numbness every day. At night, she would be unable to fall asleep due to excruciating pain, and she couldn’t take care of herself.

With her older brother’s meticulous care, she gradually recovered from being a “worthless person” and came alive again.

At this moment, she had to let go of him…

Amy felt extreme pain, to the point where even her breathing became unstable. The various instruments on her wheelchair started reacting.

If she simply said “no” or delayed for too long, it would be very dangerous.

They could either die immediately or suffer even more pain than death.

Amy covered her head and fell into deep thought.

What should I do?

In a short amount of time, she tried countless times to find clues in Rock Morgan’s database, hoping to locate his whereabouts and gather information, and desperately searching for useful countermeasures.

But all her efforts were in vain.

Amy had actually discovered some hidden secrets about Rock Morgan a long time ago, and she even secretly gained control over some of Rock Morgan’s weapons that could be used to threaten him.

But these preparations that had been made beforehand, for some unknown reason, were completely useless at this moment!

Amy feels more helpless than ever.

Why isn’t the Savior helping me? He’s clearly watching everything… Or could it be that the Savior has already sent someone to rescue my brother?

As the story unfolds, Amy has no choice but to believe in the great Savior of Babel Tower.

When someone dies, they can come back to life.

As long as the spirit remains.

Amy believed in her heart that the Rock Morgan group, after killing her brother, would at most imprison his spirit and wouldn’t exert great effort to destroy his soul.

Since it is so, there is still hope.

What’s even more important is… if given the choice, her brother would also wish not to be loyal to the company.

“But if they use me to threaten him, he will certainly choose me.”

Amy took a deep breath. Suddenly, she realized her true self deep within her heart.

“I will not be loyal to you, absolutely not.”

“Because Rock Morgan must be destroyed, otherwise the tragedy will never cease!”

“Remember, if you do anything to him, I will definitely seek revenge on the Rock Morgan group and none of the people involved will escape.”

After sending the message, Amy seemed to lose all energy and slumped in her wheelchair.

“Brother…”

She murmured to herself.

Suddenly, she felt as if her soul was undergoing a transformation.

Essence.

The essence of the soul was undergoing a new transformation, a certain power was breaking free, unstoppable.

In just a moment, Amy, who was originally confused, suddenly understood everything.

“Oh, I see… So, all of this, it’s all because of your plan? You’re a great Savior.”

Actually, this is my very own Crown Ceremony.

She finally understood why all the tactics she had prepared against Rock Morgan were useless.

Finally, she understood why she couldn’t find any information about the identity and location of “Red Iris”.

This was all the interference of the Savior.

The transformation was completed quickly.

Amy still sat in her wheelchair, as if nothing had happened, but her demeanor had become even more serene than before.

“Brother…”

Amy’s face lit up with a smile.

So, it seems that he must not have had an accident. That’s great!

In the next moment, Amy was able to get in touch with her brother and discovered that he was just going about his usual work, completely unharmed and without any sign of danger.

“Ah.”

She finally let out a relieved sigh.

“Brother, I plan to take you to a place.”

—

Inside the Babel Tower.

Bai Yan sat on the throne, quietly observing everything.

“The first point in arranging the Crown Ceremony is that there should be a good match, and there should be a high rate of promotion after completion.”

“The second point is about being simple and easy to complete.”

“So, the Crown Ceremony that satisfies both sides, indeed, there is only this one.”

Finally, after a long wait, Amy has also completed her own Crown Ceremony.

“The Test of the Heart”

In fact, no matter whether Amy chooses her family or refuses, she will successfully complete the Crown Ceremony.

What matters is not the answer, but the process of choosing.

“The inner struggle” is an essential element of “The Test of the Heart”.

Today is the time for Amy to fulfill this Crown Ceremony, with only one chance in a year… During other times, “The Test of the Heart” cannot take effect.

So Bai Yan prepared this script in advance, allowing Amy to make a choice.

“The final outcome was good, and that was enough.”

After mumbling to himself, Bai Yan felt content and clicked on the character card belonging to the “Cybertyrant”.
