Chapter 16 Purple Air Jade Building (Summary)
If someone asks what it feels like to be a bait?
Nervous? Uneasy? Or fear?
Luo Ci's answer is-
“None are not.”
Neither nervous nor uneasy, as for fear... Haha, this is a boring joke.
The fear of being a bait comes from injuries lurking in the dark and threats of death.
As long as you can be without fear of threats, you will naturally not feel afraid.
Luo Ci stood inside the building and the only feeling of acting as bait was that he was ‘big’.
Standing in the distance and watching the Ziqi Jade Tower, you can feel the amazing size, but when you really walk in, you can deeply understand how huge the building is, like a super-large maze, and your scalp is numb just by looking at the floor plan.
I really have to worry about it,
This is probably the largest single-family building Luo Ci has ever seen.
Not the highest, but the largest.
This place,
It will drive the road crazy.
The Purple Qi Jade Tower has thirty-six floors on the ground alone.
Among them, the first to fifth floors are the territories of the municipal government, courts, government banks, demon-killing bureaus, police stations, fire departments and other government agencies. Basically, more than 90% of the municipal agencies on Hutian Island are set up here, and the Demon-killing Bureau and the Fire Department are set up on the first floor to facilitate their operations. In addition, there are government-specific parking lots and aprons in specific areas outside the building.
From the seventh to the seventh floors, there are department stores, catering institutions, children's city, bars, nightclubs, cinemas, gyms, boxing gyms, swimming pools, various indoor sports venues and other daily leisure and entertainment institutions. As long as the law allows, you can enjoy a life of drunkenness and dreams here.
From the 19th floor to the 26th floor, this is the field of major companies. You can see the branch brands of many world-renowned enterprises here. Hutian Island, as the easternmost territory of Shenxia, is an extremely important transit destination. After all, the sea is not safe. The monsters rampant in the sea make ocean navigation dangerous. Transit islands like Hutian Island become extremely important, so so many companies have set up branches here.
From the 28th to the 36th floors, there are many research institutes and design centers. As an artificial island on the border of the East China Sea, it can access many demons and strange objects from the deep sea as quickly as possible. Moreover, this is the territory of Shenxia, with the world's first-class security guarantee, and can conduct scientific research peacefully without worrying that thugs will rush into the research room.
There are also the sixth floor, the eighteenth floor, and the twenty-seventh floor. These three floors are parking lots. After all, relying solely on the parking lot outside the building cannot meet the huge parking needs.

Luo Ci is currently staying in a seating area on the seventh floor.
He sat on the bench, holding his cell phone and watching it intently. If it weren't for the conspicuous vermilion Taoist robe, he would look no different from those young people around him who also looked at their cell phones.
"Buzz!"
The phone vibrates gently.
Betty: (Have you seen suspicious guys?)
Luo Ci glanced at him, his thumb flew up and down like a flash of lightning.
A message was fed back.
On the seventh floor, the seats by the window of the cafe next to the seating area.
The three girls sat together, enjoying snacks and coffee while monitoring the bait Luo Ci.
"Only not."
Betty, who received the reply, looked at the phone and shook her head at Anna, who was sitting next to her with her feet hanging around her, "Nothing was found on Luo Ci."
"Hey, student president, will anyone really be fooled with such a simple bait?"
Vika, who was sitting opposite, also had no feet on the ground. It seems that maybe it was because the seats of this coffee shop were set too high?
In short, the girl shook her legs and complained to Anna who was sitting opposite her, "No matter how you look at it, is it a trap? Who would be so stupid to be fooled? And you said that the evil of all things has already failed on Luo Ci twice, so you wouldn't have launched a third attack so soon, right?"
"You're right."
Anna took a sip of calcium-added milk, and she turned her head to look at the boy sitting on the bench in the lounge area outside the window, "But all you said is based on the thinking of 'normal people'." She specially added accents to the three words normal people.
"What you said is correct, but unfortunately... The target we are trying to catch is not normal people, and believers of all evil things are all crazy! Talking reason to them is unreasonable! Student Vika, your [History of Cults in All Countries] needs to be made up for it!"
"Go! There are a lot of big truths."
Vika rolled her eyes.
She understands the truth.
She is also a top student. Although she does not have two perverted natural demon eyes on the opposite side, as the youngest Mithril-level alchemist in the records of the Slavic Empire in the last three hundred years, her talent is definitely the first-class. She is known as the most difficult god Xia Yayan, who is the most difficult to learn in all languages, and the girl only took a week to learn it.
She got full marks in the history of cults in various countries.
She was just complaining.
I asked to act as bait with Luo Ci, but I was ruthlessly rejected and lost an opportunity to cultivate friendship, so that the girl was not very happy.
"How long will it take to wait so stupidly? The Purple Qi Jade Tower is so big, who knows where the evil of all things is in?" Vika seemed to mutter to herself, but her voice could be absorbed by the two girls opposite.
This is a quarrel.
Betty shook her head expressionlessly, continued to play with her phone, and sent messages from time to time to exchange the situation with Luo Ci.
Anna maintained her cold-hearted temperament as icebergs, silently sipping calcium-added milk, too lazy to argue with Vika.
"·······Betty, why did you contact Luo Ci? Shouldn't this be my partner's responsibility?" Vika stared at the girl playing with her mobile phone again, complaining indignantly, her cornflower-colored eyes staring at Betty sitting opposite her.
but,
But Betty continued to play with her phone quietly.
He didn't take Vika's gaze as hot as the scorching sun seriously.
As a classmate, she has rich experience in dealing with Vika. When faced with this classmate who is amazingly persevering and sticks to her goal, the best way to deal with it is to not pay attention to her from the beginning, otherwise once she responds, it will be endless. Look at Luo Ci and you will know what she looks like.

Diagonally opposite the seating area is a dumpling restaurant.
"Kou Shan, is that Luo Ci? Ji Tian Jianjun's younger brother?"
At the window, two men sat opposite each other, one was a blonde and blue-eyed suit, with a capable temperament that looked either a lawyer or an executive. Opposite him was a haggard black-haired man, who seemed to be recovering from a serious illness and was drinking vigorously with a bowl of noodle soup.
The blonde man in suit glanced out the window and asked, "Give me a correct word, right?"
"What? Brand, are you going to steal the prey of the Bishop?" Kou Shan slowly drank the hot noodle soup, and asked while drinking the soup. As the noodle soup was eaten, his whole body felt very warm and comfortable, and an extremely satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It's OK to be the real thing, nothing else has to do with you."
The blonde man in suit did not stare out the window and skillfully picked up chopsticks, picked up the cold dumplings in the plate and started eating.
"That's right! It has nothing to do with me."
Kou Shan chuckled, lowered his eyes, and continued to drink the soup slowly.
Chapter completed!
