Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 287 - 16: The Hero Who Goes With The Flow

Yu Xiaozhe was not very willing to help with this kind of favor, but seeing Tang Xian’s assured expression, he habitually thought that this man probably had a way.

"I’m going to say this one last time, brother, if you want to live a comfortable life inside the Pyramid, with my current ability, it’s not hard to achieve. But to leave the Pyramid, out of ten people, eleven would die," Yu Xiaozhe said with a grave face.

"After I reach the place I need to go, we’ll definitely meet again," Tang Xian continued, pouring himself another cup of tea, unhurriedly.

"Alright, since you’re so confident, Lin Sen and I will find a way to get it done in the fastest time possible over the next few days," Yu Xiaozhe said, no longer hesitating, seeing Tang Xian’s calmness.

Lin Sen looked at the two of them and thought that these friends were truly cut from the same cloth, fiercely resolute when they set their minds to something.

"I’ll need some materials."

After reaching an agreement, Tang Xian began to submit a detailed plan.

"What materials?"

"Materials to build a signal tower. Don’t worry, I’ll assemble it. The signal frequency will be roughly between ninety-four and ninety-nine, during four o’clock in the morning. I will report my status through a code word at that time," Tang Xian explained.

Lin Sen was astonished; this man’s knowledge was indeed vast, and he even knew about these old-fashioned signal towers.

The communication network built by this frequency signal tower was easily intercepted; basically, nobody in any of the fortresses used it, but the advantage was its strong penetrating power.

Only smugglers would set up such signal towers for emergency communication or to deliberately create a smokescreen.

Yu Xiaozhe exclaimed,

"What do you mean? Are you planning to establish a communication link with people inside, from outside, the Pyramid?"

Tang Xian nodded, "That’s why I need the best materials to ensure that the signal can penetrate the Pyramid’s walls."

Yu Xiaozhe shook his head, saying,

"I don’t think that’s going to be possible. I still don’t understand the building principles of the Pyramid to this day; there could be devices inside the walls that block signals."

Tang Xian smiled,

"Zhe, have you ever thought that if it is possible to survive outside? What if the Pyramid is merely the stomach of some huge monster?"

Having been on journeys through the stomachs of various deep-sea creatures, Tang Xian easily came up with this comparison.

He continued,

"The Pyramid detected that I’m an Eden demon child, and indeed, there are some things about me that are different from ordinary people. Perhaps humans won’t readily believe what I say. But whether your first reaction is to believe or not, I still have to tell you, there’s definitely something wrong with the Pyramid. Some of the fundamental common knowledge we have may be incorrect."

Yu Xiaozhe was stunned, as was Lin Sen.

But the two had subtly different expressions. Lin Sen disliked the mining area and felt that the Pyramid was the safest place.

Yu Xiaozhe, like Tang Xian, believed that the Pyramid had its issues one way or another.

It was like living in a cage.

Lin Sen wanted to say something, but Tang Xian first noticed Lin Sen’s unease and anxiety:

"I know those who rely on technology would trust the Pyramid that provided humanity with technology and reject places like the mining area that are anti-technology."

"Yes, I do not believe there is any problem with the Pyramid. If the Pyramid wanted to harm us, why wait so long? It could simply refuse to appear. If it didn’t show up, humanity would have gone extinct long ago, right?"

Because it needs humans, because the Pyramid itself cannot unlock and the Orderers are waiting for humans to awaken it.

Tang Xian did not voice his thoughts; he smiled and said,

"You’re very nervous, but there’s no need to be afraid. Even if I truly am an Eden demon child, we’re all sitting here after all, we’ve finished our business, and everything is amicable, isn’t it? I don’t want to change your views; I just want to offer you a new choice."

"What choice?" Yu Xiaozhe asked.

"Humanity should have a world that truly belongs to them.

If I prove that it’s possible to survive outside the Pyramid, I will share this news with those who can believe me in the shortest time possible. For example, you, Zhe," Tang Xian said.

"You mean you’re not planning to come back?" Yu Xiaozhe exclaimed.

"Perhaps. A part of the history inside the Pyramid is false, and it’s precisely the part I’m most concerned about. To look for the true history and continue to stay inside would be a waste of time.

The outside was once the home of humanity; there might be clues. If it’s truly possible to survive, I at least have to find a way to contact you all.

In time, you will understand that a part of the education you’ve been given from young to old is false."

Yu Xiaozhe did not speak and, after thinking for a long while, said,

"What else do you need?"

"When I leave, I will send you the codebreaking chart for the code words. In the future, I will communicate with you through these code words. Besides, before I do this, I still need to wrap up some matters."

"What matters?"

"Where has Li Xiaoyu gone? Do you know?" Tang Xian asked.

Yu Xiaozhe was taken aback and glanced at Lin Sen again.

Lin Sen gave a wry smile, realizing that this second deal was not going to happen.

He said helplessly,

"Some time ago, Miss Li came to me. I helped her disable the tracking system for the portable transport rift."

Tang Xian quickly guessed that it was because of him that the portable transport rift was banned and location tracking activated.

"But you kept something up your sleeve, right?" Tang Xian smiled.

Lin Sen looked at Tang Xian in surprise.

Lin Sen was one of those rare individuals who appeared mild-mannered, but had a decency value hovering around thirty, and a greed and lust index around sixty.
