Black Tower: "Who could set a trap for a genius? In the genius's research."
Rupert I Silent Lord Club
Unlike before, Black Tower did not refute. After a long silence, Black Tower slowly said: "Prepare for the worst..."
"——" just a separator line, no content.
Jackie Chan Adventures
Who would have thought someone could dig a pit for Black Tower and Screw Gum in the simulated universe? Come on, who's that capable? Silver Wolf? Or did the hacker army of Punk Lord attack all at once?
Xiao Yu sank into the sofa, holding a cup of freshly bought orange juice, and looked over at Cheng Long, who was repairing the seat clock nearby: "Uncle Long, do you think this is possible?"
Speaking of probability, it naturally exists, but I don't think Black Tower and Star will face any danger." Cheng Long set down his screwdriver, "If I had to say, the most dangerous thing is nothing but the assassination by Polka Kakamu, but the motive for this lady's action remains a mystery; as long as Black Tower doesn't provoke her… there should be no problem.
But is that assassin lady still alive? It's been over a hundred amber eras since the school wars, right?" Xiao Yu counted on her fingers; one amber era equals 76 to over 240 years, which amounts to 7,600 to 24,000 years having passed!
For geniuses, discussing time is meaningless." Cheng Long calmly shook his head, "The Primitive Doctor is member #64 of the Genius Club; the club's ranking is arranged by chronological order, meaning that infamous doctor joined before #66 Rupert II, and he personally witnessed the complete Second Anti-Organic War. But what I want to say is that geniuses including Black Tower, Thus: Ruan Mei, and Screw Gum, if they wish, have ample means to extend their lives. If you merely hope to starve geniuses to death with lifespan… that idea itself is naive.
Moreover, Polka Kakamu holds seat #4, meaning she is among the earliest members of the Genius Club; rather than her method of prolonging life, I'm more curious about her purpose and assassination technique… she seems able to appear anywhere in the universe—how does she manage that?

Screw Gum: "As before, Stephen and I will fully guarantee your safety from the outside. No matter what, please make sure you both return safely."
Just as Star was about to enter the simulated universe first, Black Tower suddenly called out from behind her: "Star, before linking into the simulated universe, there's something I need to tell you in advance. If you sense something's wrong, turn back immediately—under no circumstances look back."
After explaining those points, Black Tower and Star linked into the simulated universe together; upon entering that chaotic unknown region, Black Tower brought up a panel, her fingers dancing swiftly across it.
"Zero percent completion—looks like we're stuck at the node after the core paralyzed." Black Tower furrowed her brows, "Hey hey, Screw Gum, can you hear me? Come handle this quickly."
"The turbulence of the unknown region is interfering with your registration area; from outside we cannot lock onto a specific time node." Screw Gum's voice came faintly, "Proposal: perform a full rollback of the simulated universe's records, return to the time when the scepter was most complete, and link into the core."
Black Tower waved her hand impatiently: "However you do it, just get started."
Under Screw Gum's manipulation, time in the simulated universe began to regress. Rupert II's cenotaph, Patrivevia frantically etched formulas onto the tombstone, iron skin and blood ingrained into her palms.
The ramming warship surged upstream against the temporal torrent; they began to pass through the smog-filled galactic library, through layers of corroded metal, through countless Menico, watching them utter in unison from their mouths the cold command: "Begin executing the anti-organic equation calculation."
Time continued to reverse, cloaking the two in scholars' robes; at the Future Academia Conference, voices buzzed, scholars shoved each other, streaming past them. Patrivevia was conversing with someone, a smile on her face: "Future? Ha, future."
"Why rush forward, friends?"
The retrograde crowd seemed to have received a voice command, as if a pause button had been pressed; time froze in an instant. Patrivevia became an immovable ice sculpture—but the woman who ought to have been false data turned her gaze toward the two.
"Black Tower, this little game of you and your friends spying on past secrets ought to end. Before my scalpel cuts it off, would you like to dance with me?"
She shed her scholar's robe, the candy‑colored gauze skirt swaying, her face indistinct.

Absolute Zone Zero
Wait… Polka Kakamu?! Is she human or a ghost?! Ahhh!
Ju Fu Fu's fur stood on end instantly from fright, a pair of fluffy ears pricking up; she hurriedly reached out to embrace Ye Shunguang beside her: "Junior sister! That woman's lived thousands or tens of thousands of years—bad enough—but she can even come into the simulated universe! She can't freely go anywhere in the universe, can she?!"
A virtual character in the simulated universe suddenly speaking to Black Tower—it's just like watching a horror movie when a bloody, fuzzy ghost on screen suddenly addresses the audience outside; moreover, it even reveals the viewer's name, saying it's coming to your house as a guest right away, which is terrifying!
…This, this is no longer mere intimidation, right?!
