Chapter 1268: Chapter 1267: Meeting in Advance Chapter 1268: Chapter 1267: Meeting in Advance “This hotel has a unique positioning, specially designed for higher employees, management, or certain special personnel.
A superior has designated this place for you to meet, and relevant information has been entered into the hotel's system. My responsibility is to escort you here. If your matters in the hotel are concluded, I will continue to attend to you in the middle area.”
“Thank you.”
“It's just my job.”
[Other Shore Hotel]
As Han Dong just stepped onto the stairway and reached the front door area, the check was already complete.
“Han Dong, Formal Employee, has received special reception services from the Other Shore Hotel.
Welcome to our hotel, please proceed to your invited SVIP room area according to related instructions.
If you do not follow the instructions, you will be permanently blacklisted and unable to enjoy any services of this hotel. If you violate the rules and trespass into another guest's room and get killed, the hotel will not be responsible.”
The gate opened.
What lay beyond was neither a splendid lobby nor a cyberpunk-style technology passage.
Instead, it was a river channel built within the hotel, devoid of any form of lighting.
The only light source was the neon lantern at the bow of a small wooden boat on which Han Dong stood.
Clearly.
One would need to take this small wooden boat to the designated hotel room, a hotel operational mode that Han Dong was experiencing for the first time, even devoid of a guiding waiter.
Han Dong maneuvered the oar, allowing the wooden boat to travel through a river channel less than ten meters wide.
The neon light from the lantern illuminated texts hidden on the river wall, guiding Han Dong towards the designated room.
'At the front door junction choose the second fork on the left', 'At the front door junction choose the third fork on the right'…
Through these directions, Han Dong eventually arrived at 'Other Shore'.
Upon docking and disembarking, a material unknown yet sensory-blocking metal door stood before him with a door number embossed -[SVIP-4008].
As Han Dong grasped the door handle, the door was already unlocked.
Inside was a room with 70% native vegetation coverage, a fully intelligent AI service system, and walls made of one-way panoramic glass.
Standing by the window provided an immediate view into the middle area of the Black Tower.
“Your allocation of Talent Points is very special, almost like a different person before and after the event… harboring a strong Divine nature.
Hurry over, I need to talk to you in advance about 'The Tombs' and matters related to the Black Tower to ensure that when the scrutineers from the auditor's office track you, there won't be any issues.
The Other Shore Hotel absolutely values individual privacy, making it the perfect place for this discussion.”
“Senior! Didn't you say it would be a few days before we could meet?”
Han Dong was startled.
In front of the room's window stood a familiar man in a white suit.
Holding a cocktail garnished with cherries, he was gazing at the central area of the middle zone, which is the Black Tower Shelter.
It's important to note, on this occasion of meeting,
The executive wasn't wearing the Vortex Mask, his fluffy white hair clearly visible.
“Sorry, there are a few old timers in the Black Tower who think this matter is fishy, suspecting me of engaging in prohibited interventions, and are requiring a thorough investigation before they'll allow me through document verification.
I need to align our stories in advance to ensure there won't be any problems.
If they find out, they wouldn't dare do much to me given no one in the entire Black Tower could replace me… it's just pity for Tomb Lord, his century-long plan, and the world he's developing would be forcibly reclaimed by the Black Tower.
Of course, I also believe you can handle this well.
When I met you on the Moon God Mountain, I discerned something – you possess a natural talent for acting, which is why I am willing to connect you with Tomb Lord.”
“Okay, I will cooperate fully.”
As Han Dong stepped into the guest room and sat down in front of the ivy-twined sofa.
The executive codenamed M also turned around, revealing a melancholic and refined uncle-like face, not too many special or mysterious elements, he was just an ordinary uncle.
A document was handed to Han Dong.
“Give you half an hour to read this document. Afterward, I will pretend to be the inspection hall to interrogate you… If you can't get through my questioning, then you absolutely cannot pass their in-depth investigation.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong suddenly remembered a prompt from the Other Shore Hotel; dying here would not be held accountable.
If the test could not be passed, it could lead to direct execution.
Han Dong only spent ten minutes memorizing the document by heart but still felt it was not enough… The Black Tower's technological level was extremely high, it might not just be verbal questioning, the Inspection Hall might conduct it through devices or some sort of mental master inspecting consciousness.
With this in mind, Han Dong altered his own brain memories according to the document's contents, something only Han Dong's special brain could achieve.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes… Please proceed with the questioning, senior.”
Just as Han Dong anticipated.
The executive did not conduct a verbal interrogation, instead, he placed his palm on the forehead.
A white liquid immediately seeped from the scalp, enveloping the brain for a thinking inspection.
However, during the infiltration, the executive repeatedly faced strong repulsive forces obstructing him, leading to taking three times longer than usual, almost failing to read properly.
“Self memory alteration? I really did not missee you… Do you have a backup of the original memories?”
“There's no need for backup, the altered memories will not affect my recognition of senior or the Tomb Lord, it's just a modification on the memory layer.”
“Excellent!”
The executive gave a high appraisal, affirming Han Dong once again.
In fact, his seeking out Han Dong to explain the situation and providing the file documentation was already a kind of recognition… Otherwise, for a normal employee involved in this matter, they would just be killed directly, eliminating all risks.
The executive's face broke into a rare smile, and since there was still time, he started chatting about other matters.
“By the way… You also extracted the 'certificate' from 'Employee-Ubo Refi' through Tomb Lord, right? Symbolizing the Black Whirlpool's certificate will be recognized by the Black Tower when you return and must be forcefully handed over.
Did you hand it over?”
Facing an entity comparable to the Upper Old King, Han Dong naturally did not dare to lie: “I didn't receive any prompt, I have been carrying it with me.”
“Not? It seems your brain can bypass basic detection, no wonder I encountered many obstacles retrieving your memories, the divine nature inside is apparently on the same platform as me, or even more complex.
Speaking of which, this Eye is quite valuable, how do you plan to use it?”
“I plan to integrate it into my vision system after opening the gate.”
The executive suddenly clapped his palm, “Right! You haven't [opened the gate] yet, I almost forgot about that… After all, there are very few geniuses like you who become a Black Tower Employee without having opened the gate.
The main purpose of your trip to 'The Tombs' was to gain 'Talent Points x2,' right?
Now that you should reach [Fifth Order], when do you plan to open the gate?”
“Given that a interdimensional war might break out in my world soon, I need to open the gate in the near future?”
“Interdimensional war?” The executive immediately accessed the database through his holographic watch with authority, “Oh! Right… [Holy Level World] will conduct a large-scale invasion on your world, will you participate directly?”
“I will.”
“Then you have to hurry, it's difficult to survive without opening the gate.”
At this moment, Han Dong adopted a common pleading posture from 'The Tombs,' bowing with clasped hands to request, “I hope senior M can guide me in opening the gate.”
This was exactly what Han Dong had foreseen.
Since he was following the Fate System, this Black Tower executive was undoubtedly the best guide.
“Guide you to open the gate? Considering your good performance… Okay then.”
