Chapter 255: Humans Should Be Colorful and Diverse, What's Wrong with the Sky

The Bone Posture Detection Eye was the most advanced technological achievement developed by a secret laboratory under the Guangming Group.

It contained dozens of cutting-edge scientific technologies, both public and undisclosed, and also fused some forbidden knowledge obtained from the Hidden Gate.

Its principle was abnormally complex, far beyond what ordinary people could understand; or rather, the principles and knowledge it involved, if explained, would be enough to shatter the fragile worldviews of ordinary people.

Simply put, ordinary people only needed to understand one thing: the Bone Posture Detection Eye could see through to the truth and restore the truest form beneath human skin.

Shi Wuming briefly explained, fearing Qian Huan might not understand, and then translated: "Martial Dao cultivation is the path of alienation into non-human; the higher the martial arts, the more non-human the bone posture. This eye of mine can see the truth beneath everyone's flesh and skin, then compare their alienated features with the database, perform a series of complex calculations, and accurately reverse-calculate the target's Life Level."

Shi Wuming briefly explained, fearing Qian Huan might not understand, and then translated:

"Life Level, according to the Martial Dao theory promoted in Upper City, well, you can just understand it as Martial Dao Rank for now."

Qian Huan stared unblinkingly at the bone skeletons in the projection, his scalp tingling wave after wave, as if countless tiny currents were moving under his skin.

He was not one of those lower-class commoners kept in the dark about everything by the outside world.

Although Tian Guang Investment Co., Ltd., operated by the Qian family, was merely one of many subsidiaries of the Guangming Group, not among the technology frontier companies or laboratories most valued by the group, and merely served as one of the group's numerous moneybag companies,

even so, Qian Huan still had the opportunity to know or hear about quite a bit of secret knowledge.

These experiences made it so that when facing these skeletons, although his scalp went numb, he could still maintain basic composure and not faint from fright.

"So this is the truest appearance of humans……"

Qian Huan's voice was mixed with slight trembling, that trembling was both like a shudder originating from genes and like excitement leaking out from the soul:

"I've always felt that humans all look the same, too boring; the appearance of life should be colorful and diverse to be beautiful!"

Qian Huan's expression made Shi Wuming pause; watching others' worldviews suffer shock was one of his few pleasures.

As a "Senior Bodyguard," he had participated in protecting some big shots in the group, so he also followed the big shots to watch some grand scenes from a distance, and received some special benefits or rewards.

【Bone Posture Detection Eye】 was given to him by a certain big shot within the group.

And through these rewards, feeling shock, wonder, even terror from others often made Shi Wuming feel an inexplicable pleasure deep in his heart.

This pleasure was completely different from the gratification he had previously obtained from killing; it was a higher-level sense of satisfaction.

How to put it, killing was perhaps more of a beastly liberation, purely physiological pleasure;

while this pleasure was spiritual satisfaction, as if allowing him to indirectly embody those big shots he had once protected to some extent, obtaining their status and wisdom.

Qian Huan was clearly not a good audience; his performance lacked terror and had more morbidity.

This made Shi Wuming recall the first time he used the Bone Posture Detection Eye to see the truth of the world, amidst the big shots' laughter, his embarrassing appearance of being scared soft on the ground.

Compared side by side, the difference was immediately clear, and he suddenly felt bored.

So what he hated most were these second-generation heirs; their ability to accept new ideas and novel things was too strong, far stronger than "wild dogs" like him who crawled out of the poorest mud.

Even if he could crush Qian Huan's skull with one finger now, those three-layer blast-proof glasses couldn't stop him.

But, different, some people were born walking on the escalator to becoming "big shots," while most people, no matter how hard they struggled, were no more than "dogs" tied to both sides of the escalator.

Even the weakest big shot is a "master," and even the strongest dog is still a "dog."

This is fate; what is fate? It is the rope in the master's hand, the collar around the dog's neck.

Shi Wuming was made somewhat irritable by Qian Huan's laughter; he coldly spoke up, correcting the other's misunderstanding:

"You're wrong; it's not that humans are colorful and diverse, but that Lower City people are colorful and diverse; Upper City people are different."

Qian Huan paused; he had the fortune to visit Upper City twice, and without exaggeration, Upper City was basically another world, although Upper City people and Lower City people looked about the same.

He coldly laughed and asked: "Are Upper City people's bones different?"

Shi Wuming actually didn't understand either; he was just soullessly reciting a certain big shot's commentary.

He said: "Anyway, they're different; they're aberrations that even the 【Bone Posture Detection Eye】 cannot see through; true Upper City people are all by the Sky……"

Shi Wuming suddenly closed his mouth, not knowing if he suddenly came to his senses and dared not speak, or if he had only heard that first half and had nothing more to say.

Anyway, he didn't intend to continue this topic, but instead returned to the original question, asking Qian Huan:

"I have detected and recorded the bone postures of all prison guards in Second Prison; if you suspect anyone, I can help you upload them to the database for analysis and calculation."

Qian Huan looked thoughtfully at Shi Wuming, slowly walked to the window, looked up at the huge shadow that obscured the entire field of vision, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart:

"Upper City replaced Lower City's Sky; all along, I've actually gotten used to it, so, is there something wrong with the Sky?"

Qian Huan had gone to Upper City to study and visit; although he was not allowed to enter those three towering ring walls, he had ultimately seen the Sky.

In his memory, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with the Sky?

The Sky was vast and boundless; the outer ring deep as ink, the inner ring bright as snow; with the rising and setting of sun and moon, day and night alternating, he saw nothing wrong anywhere.

Qian Huan was not one of those lower-class commoners who knew nothing of the outside world; his horizons were much broader.

He had read many books, seen many things, even including some forbidden books and image materials passed down from the Ancient Era, which he had privately collected and studied.

In those materials, there were descriptions and images of the Sky; everything matched exactly what he had seen at that time, and there was nothing obviously abnormal anywhere.

Qian Huan narrowed his eyes, his thoughts turning quickly, and speculated:

"So, there's nothing wrong with the Sky; what's wrong is us Lower City people, that we cannot be seen by the Sky?!!"

Qian Huan originally wanted to ask Shi Wuming, but he saw that Shi Wuming had put on an appearance of being unwilling to continue speaking, so he couldn't be bothered to seek boredom, and could only hide this doubt in his heart.

When he later rose to a high position in the Guangming Group, the answers to these mysteries would naturally be presented to him one by one.

"Perhaps that day won't be too far away, as long as the 【Octagonal Cage Beast Arena】 plan goes smoothly……" Qian Huan secretly calculated in his heart.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

Next, he turned his head, walked back to the Glass Wall, and his gaze refocused on those "human-faced monster-body" bone skeletons projected from Shi Wuming's pupils.

He licked his lips and asked: "Help me find out, which one is Li Bashan?"
