Chapter Twenty-Four: A Layer of Space in the Black Tower

  Today is the second day of the first month, and it's also Coffee's birthday. In our family, we're used to celebrating birthdays according to the lunar calendar. So, Coffee has a great excuse to ask everyone for birthday gifts! Hehe, the gift doesn't have to be heavy, just two recommendation tickets will do. If there are more, that would be even better! To those who have collected this book, on Coffee's birthday today, can you make the recommendation tickets erupt like a geyser? Coffee will really be very happy!

  Although this monster is silly and doesn't know anything, Su Che still thinks that its existence must have a purpose, it's just that it itself doesn't know yet.

  "It doesn't know is okay, instead can think of ways to slowly guide it."

  So Su Che said to it: "Do you see the two large gates behind you? I want to go in there, what do you think should be done?"

  The monster scratched its forehead and replied stupidly: "Isn't it simple? Just push open the door and walk in!"

  Nonsense, no need for you to say that! Su Che had just tried to touch those two large doors with his own consciousness, and they were still as motionless as ever.

  "Go push!" Su Che issued his first command.

  "Oh!"

  The monster nodded obediently, turned around and walked to the front of the door, lifted its two big paws, and pressed the two large doors without any hesitation.

  Can it be pushed open? At this time, Su Che was holding three points of tension and seven points of expectation...

  The monster gave a gentle push, and it looked very easy. The two large gates actually opened inward silently.

  The door is open!

  Before Su Che had any reaction, his thoughts and consciousness were sucked into the open door, which meant that whether he was willing or not, his thoughts and consciousness had already entered.

  The monster that pushed open the door seemed to be able to sense Su Che's every move, and when it realized its master had entered, it moved its fluffy legs and followed him in.

  In I came, unexpectedly, inside the tower there is another heavenly opening!

  Su Che originally thought that inside the tower should be a circular room, but after entering, he saw that it was actually an independent world with mountains and water, flowers and grass, bright and spacious, with a vast area of land, and the soil under his feet was no different from the outside world...

  "It's actually a small world of hundreds of miles around, which can accommodate many living beings to survive."

  For some reason, as soon as he entered here, Su Che clearly felt that he had suddenly become the master of this world, and he could see everything in this place at a glance, including its size, mountains and rivers, and even every flower and grass.

  It seems that I am the supreme ruler here, and everything is under my control! If other creatures enter this place, they must unconditionally accept my control, let them live or die as I please...

  This feeling is exceptionally clear, but why it's like this, Su Che couldn't say for sure.

  "This place belongs to me, completely belongs to me, right?" Su Che muttered to himself in a daze.

  "Yes, master, this place is completely yours." The monster approached closer, and it could accurately sense where the master's thoughts were located.

  "Watch your step, you just trampled a lot of flowers to death!" Su Che quickly adapted to the role of 'master' and began scolding it.

  "Oh, oh."

  The monster nodded its head in agreement, and suddenly, with a loud shout, it slapped its forehead and exclaimed: "Right! I should be able to fly here!"

  Before his words had fallen, he suddenly sprang up and swooped away with a few whooshes, as if fish returning to the sea, instantly adapting to the feeling of flying in the air.

  "As expected, its birth has a direct relationship with this black tower." Su Che thought to himself.

  "Master! Master!"

  The monster in mid-air suddenly let out a loud cry: "I know, I know..."

  "There's no need to be so abrupt, speak slowly." Su Che scolded it again, this thing had an incredibly loud voice and its tone was extremely unpleasant!

  "Alright, alright." The monster lowered its voice and reported: "Master, I know that this is actually a prison, which can be used to detain the prisoners you've captured, whether they are human or demon or devil, no matter what kind of creature, once they are caught and brought in, they must obediently stay here, let them live or die as you please! Everything depends on your will."

  "Prison?" Su Che asked in confusion: "The entire Black Tower is a prison-type magic treasure used to trap people?"

  "Not really......" The monster was perplexed again, scratching its head and replied: "I just suddenly realized that this floor is a prison, the one above it I haven't been to yet, so I don't know for now."

  "Go up another floor?" With this reminder, Su Che suddenly realized: "Right! Why can't I see the entrance to the second floor upstairs?"

  In this layer of space, Su Che had already possessed the sense of mastery that controlled the world. Even a grain of sand hidden deep underground could not escape his mental exploration. However, even so, he still couldn't find the entrance or passage to go up to the second layer.

  "How do I get up to the second floor?" Su Che could only ask his monstrous servant.

  "It seems to be, it seems to be..." The monster was scratching its forehead again, not afraid of its sharp claws tearing its own head: "Master, your cultivation has reached a certain level, and the method to open the second layer will naturally appear. Now you can only use this layer of space... Hmm, yes, it should be like that!"

  Having obtained such an answer, Su Che was silent, but he had already confirmed that this monster must be a brand new instrument spirit created by the Black Tower, with the mission of assisting itself. There must be an extremely subtle connection between it and the Black Tower. Perhaps, as his own strength gradually increased, this connection would become even more intimate, even clearer...

  At this stage, it is just a newborn baby, although the personal image of this baby is indeed somewhat poor.

  As he thought of this, Su Che's mind suddenly opened up, and he immediately thought: "That's it, from now on I can capture my enemies alive and imprison them in this layer of prison space, let them refine pills, forge equipment, and make talismans for me. It's as if I have a large batch of free labor, and I can also save more time and spiritual stones to devote myself to cultivation... The benefits are endless."

  How to fully utilize the advantages of this layer of prison space, it is difficult to think through for a while, and put this matter aside for the time being. Su Che said to the monster again: "Your birth has an inseparable connection with this black tower. From now on, you will assist me in managing this layer of prison space well. What do you think?"

  "Yes, master," the monster patted its chest to guarantee: "This little thing, I can absolutely handle it. After all, I am a comprehensive body that combines the advantages of human, demon and magic three tribes."

  "Oh? What are the advantages of being a demon, tell me." Su Che's interest was piqued.

  The monster glared with scarlet eyes, its face twisted in a fierce grimace. "From humans, cunning and treachery, quick thinking; from the demonic forces of other realms, infinite transformations, as well as mind-reading and hypnotic abilities; and from the beastly tribe, brutal cruelty, ruthless and merciless!"

  Su Che listened and was slightly stunned: "Are these all advantages......"

  "Of course, in front of the master, I won't show off these advantages." The monster chuckled: "I will only use my abilities against your enemies and the prisoners being held here."

  Its response left him speechless for a moment before he said, "You've just been born, shouldn't you have a name?"

  "Please give me a name."

  The monster directly knelt down on the ground, and on its ferocious and terrifying face, an extremely pious expression actually appeared.

  "What should I name it?" Su Che thought silently.

  Looking at its whole body covered with dark grey fur, I wanted to call it 'black hair', but felt that this name was too playful, so changed it to a homophonic character...

  "I'll give you the nickname 'Hei Mo', and in daily life, I can just call you Lao Hei."

  "Thank you, Master, for giving me a name!"

  Lao Hei knocked his head three times, looking very loyal to Su Che as his master.

  As for its loyalty, Su Che's understanding was: the mysterious black tower dwelled in his own mind, which was equivalent to acknowledging himself as the master. This 'Hei Mo' was a primary instrument spirit created by himself and the black tower joining hands, its fate had been thoroughly connected with the black tower. As long as the mysterious black tower did not leave him, Hei Mo, as an instrument spirit, would not be likely to have any disloyal thoughts.

  Of course, this is just a guess of mine, whether it's correct or not remains to be verified by facts in the future.
