The first game came to an end.
Babel Tower, victorious from the start.
Snatched it in an instant.
But in the silver glow, Bai Yan saw Solitary, who had encountered failure, unfazed.
In his eyes, there was not even a trace of emotion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yes, it’s true, he had just lost a point.
Although it seemed to be just a game showdown, Bai Yan knew deep down that he had to consider many things every time he chose his character… personality, compatibility of abilities, the depth of Babel Tower, things like one-time use items, and most importantly, the game rules.
A few seconds later, Solitary began drawing lots for the second game event.
Countless paper slips swirled in the sky, forming several enormous circles that constantly spun."That’s the one."
A new game.
Its name was…
"The Incarnate Killer"

Nian, a girl named Zhang Nian, woke up from her dreams.
She looked up and saw a strange ceiling she had never seen before, and underneath her was an unfamiliar soft bed.
"…"
Nian found herself in a high school girl’s room. Not far away, there was an old-fashioned desktop computer on the desk, along with neatly arranged books, a desk lamp, and opposite the desk, there were bookshelves and a wardrobe.
This was Nian’s second game.
In her mind, she heard the voice of the Savior, explaining the rules of the game.
The game was called "The Incarnate Assassin."
Nian entered a virtual world, where she would lose all her extraordinary powers and gain a brand new body and identity.
An ordinary high school girl.
She was in a false world that was only the size of a single city, and the enemies would randomly incarnate as someone within that city.
Nian had to find the other person and defeat them.
Similarly, the other person would also try to find a way to harm her.
But in order to kill each other, they both needed to determine each other’s true identity.
The biggest challenge was that there were millions of people in the city, and they wanted to find each other even though they were complete strangers. It was indeed a very difficult task.
Nian was momentarily unable to think of a good solution.
They probably wouldn’t easily reveal themselves, would they?
"Kexin, why aren’t you coming out to eat?"
The imaginary mother called out from outside, and Nian felt she couldn’t remain indifferent. What if the enemy transformed into an incarnation and came nearby? What should she do if she got caught?
She needed to "play a suitable role."
Nian immediately understood why the Savior had chosen her to play this game.
Because only Nian had the experience of surviving in prison for several years, enduring humiliation, and secretly controlling the resistance army.
Without extraordinary powers, the acting skills, resilience, and ability to sense danger of others…all definitely cannot compare to Nian’s.
Hmm, there is an additional rule to the game.
That is… "If the player is not killed by another participant of the game, death is also considered a game failure."
Why does the Tower organization’s Solitary need to add this rule?
Could it be that one’s enemies have a certain method to incite others to chase after them?
But first, he needed to figure out who he really was, right?
"Delightful!"
Nian immediately got up from the bed and called out, "Mom! I’m awake, I’m coming! Stop calling!"
Hmm…
I, can speak now.
The feeling of speaking turned out to be like this, ah.
Nian fell silent, with a calm expression on her face.
In fact, in Noah’s world, at the Giant Hive, with their power and technology, they could have cured Nian’s muteness long ago.
But she had never chosen to speak.
Because Nian always felt that when she spoke to people, it was easy for words to "slip out" and reveal her emotions.
And through writing and using a whiteboard to communicate, it allowed her to communicate at a slower pace and with more careful consideration.
At the same time, as Nian communicated in this way, others would instinctively pay more attention to her, remembering her words and thoughts.
Stay calm.
This is Nian’s most prominent trait.
Bai Yan also believed that if everyone in the Babel Tower suddenly lost their extraordinary powers… Nian, this young girl, would undoubtedly be the best at adapting.
"Ke Xin, why didn’t you come out earlier? The food is getting cold." The middle-aged woman in an apron, slightly plump, grumbled discontentedly while holding chopsticks in her hand.
She was Ke Xin’s mother, while Ke Xin’s father sat by the side, silently eating without saying a word. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle, which made him look somewhat aged but very kind-hearted.
"Just now, I simply wanted to sleep a little longer… Mom, I’m sorry."
Nian stuck out her tongue and went to her seat.
She had never experienced a life like this before, but in an instant, she had already adapted to it.
For years, the rebel army and life in prison had taught Nian how to portray any emotion at any moment. In the blink of an eye, her demeanor transformed from a strong figure in the Babel Tower to an ordinary high school girl.
"Go ahead and eat, the food will get cold if you keep talking."
Mother frowned, while Father, on the other hand, gave a small smile.
Nian smiled and nodded, but deep inside, a hint of hesitation stirred within her.
Unfortunately.
All of this was make-believe.
In the depths of Nian’s heart, she truly wished that the parents around her were real, and a simple ordinary life had always been her true desire.
But over the years, from being a leader of the rebel forces to joining Babel Tower, facing various dreadful crises… in reality, Nian also knew deep down in her heart that she was getting farther and farther away from a normal life that ordinary people live.
Suddenly, the father exclaimed with surprise and asked:
"Kexin, why are your eyes becoming red?"
Nian chuckled and murmured, "I’m fine, it’s just that when I think about the summer vacation coming to an end and having to go back to school soon, it doesn’t feel good in my heart."
After finally settling things with her parents at home, Nian went straight to school.
She had to disguise herself as an ordinary person.
She must not reveal herself.
As Nian arrived at school, she settled into her role as an ordinary high school girl and became involved in everything at the school.
She studied diligently and attended classes like any other ordinary student.
Meanwhile, she was observing.
Who could that person be?
Who among the Tower organization is their own enemy?
According to the Savior’s statement, it could possibly be one of the Tower members like Cruelty, Timidity, etc. However, in reality, their personalities have significant flaws and are not suited for the undercover game that requires disguise and mutual surveillance.
So, their own enemy should be an unknown presence from the Tower organization.
Who could it be?
Nian’s performance skills are extremely powerful, from the first class to the end of the school day, neither the classmates nor the teachers in the whole class noticed anything unusual about her.
"Kexin, come up and solve this problem."
"Yes," he replied.
At this very moment, it seemed that Nian from Babel Tower was no more. She had transformed into an ordinary high school girl named Kexin.
The first day passed quickly.
On her way home from school, Nian could pretty much be certain of one thing.
She didn’t see any suspected members of the Tower organization herself. All the people she encountered seemed to live ordinary lives, as if they were just regular individuals.
"This is also common, after all, the other person could become anyone in the whole city, and the chances of meeting at the beginning are very small."
However, perhaps the other person, like herself, possessed an extreme calmness and a remarkably strong ability to play different roles.
Unable to distinguish.
And, in the end, this city was just too big.
She fell into deep thought, saying to herself, "This might turn into a battle of endurance… After all, for regular people, a setting as vast as an entire city is just a bit too overwhelming."
"Is it possible that in the end, we will compete to see who dies last?"
