Because of Bai Yan’s decision, they didn’t launch an immediate assault on the clone manufacturing center.

Instead, they went to Partridge’s home.

Although Partridge was a clone, most of the time she lived with other clones in a place provided by Noy Military. However, she also bought her own house.

This house was not far from the clone manufacturing center’s nest, located on the outskirts of the residential nest area, in a newly built building.

For now, it was quite far from the center of the nest, with not many commercial elements around.

This place is just Partridge’s temporary residence. When she sneaks out to go shopping and explore, she temporarily stays here, but most of the time, she still has to live with other clone sisters in the company.

Of course, she really disliked "living collectively."

In fact, the excellent clone people, in order to prove their differences from the ordinary clone people, would often do unnecessary things to make themselves closer to… "normal humans."

Hmph, how could everything go well while being together with Wormy?

"This is now my home,"

Partridge stood in front of the door, using her fingerprint to unlock it. The metallic door opened slowly, with Bai Yan, Mu Ling, and Elene following closely behind.

They stepped inside and witnessed a scene they had already sensed before.

"Smile if you want to smile."

Partridge looked at the astonished crowd, her face filled with helplessness.

In her home, Partridge was surprised to find the floor covered in adorable dolls, the kind that little girls play with. It was very childlike and the entire room was in shades of pink, completely different from Partridge’s previous cold and elegant image.

The difference in style was enormous.

"Work is work, and life is life. I have always kept them separate," Partridge lowered her head and explained softly.

"Mmm, I feel the same way," Bai Yan nodded and smiled to show his understanding.

Of course, he could understand.

On the outside, he appeared to be a profligate who despised evil, but in reality, he was the Savior who manipulated the lives of many… Quite a contrast to Partridge!

Between nest rooms, there was an invisible barrier, like a magical shield. And there was only one entrance.

The nest room they were in was right next to the nest room where the cloning center was located.

Bai Yan’s powerful intuition told him that the bee hive of the cloning center was only five hundred meters away from here. But within this short distance, there were two tightly guarded checkpoints, with multiple layers of security and advanced technology defenses. It was absolutely difficult to enter.

"The guards there were very strict."

Elene stood by the window and gazed at the entrance of the nest room. She put her thoughts down on paper.

Mu Ling said, "First of all, the defense formed by the electronic network doesn’t exist for us… The problem lies with those guards… Partridge, please tell us the specific situation of the guards."

"Okay, I’ll tell you," Partridge nodded and obediently replied.

"The guards are very powerful, with many heavily-armed mechs. Even the strongest Crown level individuals can’t handle them… Apart from that, the cloning center is controlled by a highly powerful AI named ‘9936’, which can utilize some technology left behind by an advanced civilization called the ‘annulus’…"

Partridge’s expression turned serious as she spoke, "Rushing in recklessly would be a path to certain death."

Bai Yan suddenly let out a sigh and said, "What a pity, what a pity. Such a lovely girl turned out to be a scoundrel."

"Yes, what a shame," Mu Ling agreed.

Elene remained silent but nodded in agreement.

Hey, hey! Don’t talk bad about me in front of me!

Partridge’s veins bulged, but she dared not retort.

Because the three people in front of him were jealous and hateful individuals, he consistently resisted the urge to remove his limbs and head… For the sake of his own safety, it was best not to provoke them.

At this moment, Mu Ling suddenly said, "But actually, we shouldn’t entirely blame her… Because she is a clone, born under the control of the Almighty, without the right and possibility to choose to be good…"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Partridge nodded repeatedly, her joy increasing.

"We can give her a worthy death as redemption," said Mu Ling, finishing her statement.

"…"

Partridge lowered her head again and mumbled, "I’ll go get you something to eat."

"Yummy, this thing is delicious."

Bai Yan held a string of meatballs in his hand, took a bite, and his eyes lit up with delight.

This thing tastes good.

Hmm, even in a city like this, there is more than just nutrient paste.

Mu Ling looked outside the window and noticed several wanderers on the street. After pondering for a while, she said,

"That group of people seemed to lead difficult lives, with beggars seen everywhere… I actually don’t understand why, in the Night Union’s world where technology is superior to that of the Air Alliance, there are still so many people who can’t afford to eat."

Mu Ling had never taken any courses on subjects such as economics, distribution, politics, and the like, so she really didn’t understand these things.

Elene stood nearby, shaking her head without answering.

"The reason is too complicated to explain, but all you need to know is that we need to defeat the Almighty."

Bai Yan chuckled and decided not to explain something too complicated.

If he started talking, he could talk for a very long time.

Once he started talking about those complicated things, smart Mu Ling might come up with ingenious ideas and decide to fight against the nobles of the Air Alliance.

But Bai Yan knew in his heart that, for the time being, he couldn’t turn against the Air Alliance so quickly.

To get right to the point, he knew that only by defeating the Almighty, would there be a chance to resolve the troubles faced by the people in this city.

In a world where greatness resided within oneself, personal heroism was taken to the extreme. Therefore, many things became relatively simpler…

Of course, Bai Yan understood as well.

It’s not that once they, including themselves, defeated the Almighty, the entire city’s ecosystem would immediately change… But as for handling and taking care of various specific matters, it wasn’t necessary for them to do it themselves. Elene’s rebel army would take care of it, they didn’t have to meddle in everything.

Elene wrote down her thoughts on a piece of paper, "In order to defeat the Almighty, we must take control of the clone manufacturing center."

Partridge nodded and said, "Because the clone manufacturing center provides the Almighty with an endless supply of bodies… Even if they die in battle or accidents, it’s the same."

"In other words, only by destroying the clone manufacturing center can we truly bring about the death of the Almighty in a meaningful sense."

Elene looked at Elene and said, "I didn’t expect that, even such important information is now in the hands of the rebel forces… It seems that you’ve been jumping around for quite some time, and not doing nothing at all."

Bai Yan nodded, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Hmm, there’s no need to talk in circles anymore, we have understood."

"We’ll rest for the night and go early tomorrow to overthrow the cloning center."

Partridge’s request became frantic, shouting, "Wait, wait a moment, what’s your plan? Just barging in? No, absolutely not! Haven’t I already said it? There are many formidable guys in the cloning center, and there are defense mechanisms left behind by advanced civilizations! You might die!"

Bai Yan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don’t worry, we have cannon fodder that we can use as a decoy. The three of us will be fine, we won’t easily get into trouble."

Partridge was speechless.

Darn it, they completely disregard their own lives. These three terrors, scumbags, trash, dogs…

"I have a special ability called intuition. I can feel what you’re thinking, you know."

"Sorry!"

With a thump, the partridge fell to the ground and started incessantly bowing, almost wagging its tail.

"Please forgive me, I don’t want to die for no reason at all, unclear… really… I did many bad things before, but I am now a member of Babel Tower, believing in the great Savior!"

As the partridge spoke, her voice started to quiver, filled with genuine emotion.

She truly didn’t want to die like this.

But no one paid any attention to her.

In fact, Bai Yan knew all the things she had done. It was not a joke; he truly despised this person from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, compared to Partridge, honestly, what he cares more about now is another girl.

Mu Ling.

I’m not sure why, but Mu Ling often would gaze at him along the way here, as if trying to see through some kind of disguise… It made Bai Yan feel a bit uncomfortable.

Is she starting to suspect something?

Bai Yan had thought about the possibility of his true identity being revealed one day. Hm, the ones who might expose him would most likely be either Mu Ling or the witch.

The witch herself knew that the profligate and the keeper of secrets were actually Bai Yan, but she was unaware of her own greatest secret identity… as the Savior.

As for Mu Ling, she was so familiar with herself, and she always admired the Savior. She would gaze carefully, and Bai Yan would deliberately change his small gestures in front of her, so as not to be directly discovered.

He didn’t have to guard against Maryse.

Because Maryse never looked at the Savior.

Maryse was both scared and displeased, and would only mutter about the Savior deep inside her heart.

Facing the partridge’s pleas for mercy and fear, Elene continued writing on the paper:

"My parents used to be people who lived here, cautious and careful, living their lives with great care. But in the end, it was because of you all that they died."

Partridge stood in surprise, while Elene simply continued to write.

"In every building of the residential area, there is a hidden overseer. They appear to be ordinary people, but in reality, they secretly communicate with the Noy Military. They have control over everyone in the entire building… If anyone’s actions are potentially harmful to the company, the overseer will notice and report it."

"The overseer is everywhere, and people live in fear."

She closed her eyes for a moment, her fingers trembling ever so slightly.

"When I was little, the authorities, in order to achieve good results, fabricated evidence and falsely implicated my parents’ names… Soon after, the clones arrived."

"They were killed just like that."

As White Day reached this point in her writing, it seemed as if she had lost all her strength. She set down her pen and looked at Partridge with a disgusted expression in her eyes.

Partridge opened her mouth, unsure of how to argue back.

Mu Ling’s back went cold as she listened.

Inside this city had already become filled with decay, Elene knew this all too well. But it wasn’t until she heard about White Day’s experiences, that she truly felt it.

"This giant hive must be transformed, we cannot turn a blind eye."

Mu Ling took a deep breath and said, "I understand now, Respected Savior, why you sent us here. Because there is a great evil ruling over this city that He cannot tolerate."

Bai Yan remained silent.

If it were Maryse or the Scarlet Moon here, they might have asked… "Then why didn’t the Respected Savior send us before?" or something similar.

Thankfully, Mu Ling didn’t say such things.

"Let’s go to the clone manufacturing center early tomorrow morning," he said with a smile, looking at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling also looked at him, with a complex expression, and remained silent for a while.

Finally, it seemed that she mustered up the courage.

"Mr. Profligate…"

"I have a very important question to ask you, please make sure to answer me."
