End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Chapter 262: Gathering Necessary Intelligence

After departing from the Special Situations Bureau, Jeremy promptly returned to his home.

Although Jeremy had resolved to enter the Tower of Exile, he still perceived this endeavor as exceedingly perilous. The level of danger within the Tower of Exile was undoubtedly higher than that of the Land of Eternal Night.

Thus, before venturing into the Tower of Exile, Jeremy recognized the imperative need to gather essential intelligence.

Currently, Jeremy had several channels through which he could collect information.

He had already acquired some intelligence from Liam, and if he sought assistance from Bonnie, she would likely be able to provide him with additional information.

However, the intelligence Bonnie could furnish would primarily consist of data held by the Moonlight City government. This subset of information was unlikely to possess significant value.

Moreover, Jeremy could obtain some intelligence from Howard.

Additionally, Howard maintained very close ties with the military headquarters, which meant that the information he provided would be considerably more valuable.

In addition to these individuals from the real world, Jeremy could certainly also seek assistance from the World and the class change goddess, Janna.

However, Jeremy felt it was essential to rely on his own strength to gather a certain amount of intelligence first, and only after that should he seek help from the World and the class change goddess, Janna.

Jeremy's first stop was to find Bonnie.

He recounted his upcoming plans to Bonnie in detail.

Upon hearing Jeremy's plan, Bonnie's face displayed an expression of sheer astonishment.

"Have you lost your mind? Why would you even think about entering the Void Spirit World? Have you forgotten the series of crises we faced during our previous encounters in the Void Spirit World?"

Bonnie spoke to Jeremy with a pained expression and an utterly shocked tone.

She believed that any endeavor to enter the Void Spirit World was fraught with extreme risk.

"I am fully aware that entering the Void Spirit World will expose us to danger. However, we currently have no other options available to us. Do you think we should simply stand by and allow the forces from the Void Spirit World to infiltrate our reality?

Only within the Void Spirit World can we deliver a crushing blow to the architects of the apocalypse game. I even feel that our efforts in the real world are utterly meaningless."

Jeremy's statement left Bonnie momentarily at a loss for words.

In truth, Bonnie also believed that Jeremy's assessment was remarkably accurate.

After hesitating for a moment, Bonnie spoke slowly.

"Since you have made your decision, I will certainly provide you with assistance. I will go find my father immediately and request the necessary permissions to access the documents held by the city government."

Bonnie's words elicited a faint smile from Jeremy.

"Let's go together to review the information! I believe I need to act swiftly! The longer I delay, the worse the situations we encounter will become."

Jeremy's statement convinced Bonnie, and the two of them made their way to the archives of Moonlight City.

Within the archives of Moonlight City, Jeremy indeed discovered some intelligence related to the Tower of Exile.

However, all this information pertained solely to the monsters.

Some of the creatures had entered the real world from the space housing the Tower of Exile, while others had been tainted by the power wielded by the Tower of Exile.

Jeremy found no instances that were directly connected to the Tower of Exile.

This indicated that the master of the Tower of Exile was an exceptionally cautious individual. Moreover, this person was likely very familiar with Jeremy.

Immediately, Jeremy thought of a certain architect of the apocalypse game he had encountered before known as the White Tower.

If the master of the Tower of Exile truly was the White Tower, then Jeremy's subsequent actions would undoubtedly face immense peril.

Upon considering this possibility, Jeremy's expression grew exceedingly grim.

"What's wrong? Did you come across information that completely caught you off guard?" Bonnie asked directly after noticing the troubled expression on Jeremy's face.

Jeremy shook his head and then nodded.

"I did not encounter information that was entirely unexpected, however, from the intelligence available to us, it can be inferred that the enemies within the Tower of Exile must possess considerable knowledge about me."

Jeremy's words caused Bonnie to feel a slight twinge of concern as well.

Nevertheless, Jeremy quickly adopted a much lighter tone as he continued speaking.

"However, this is merely our current hypothesis. The information contained within the archives is actually quite limited. My next destination will be the military camp where General Howard is stationed. I should be able to acquire more substantial intelligence there."

After articulating this, Jeremy stood up abruptly from his seat, with Bonnie closely following behind him.

"You don't need to accompany me any further! You can go home and rest!"

Jeremy smiled at Bonnie as he spoke.

Bonnie shook her head, saying, "Since I can no longer assist you within the instance, I hope you will allow me to provide you with additional help in the real world."

Bonnie's words ultimately persuaded Jeremy.

"Very well, then you may accompany me. With your assistance, I believe my speed in gathering intelligence will significantly increase."

After half an hour, Jeremy and Bonnie arrived at the military camp where General Howard was stationed.

At that moment, General Howard was strategizing how to lead his troops in clearing out some relatively low-difficulty instances.

The arrival of Jeremy and Bonnie left Howard somewhat puzzled.

"What brings you two to me at this hour? Have you uncovered some remarkable intelligence?"

Howard remarked with a hint of playful sarcasm.

Jeremy nodded, affirming, "Indeed, we have discovered significant intelligence. We found that the powers within the Tower of Exile are attempting to infiltrate the real world. Therefore, I hope to obtain information related to the Tower of Exile from you.

Once I have gathered sufficient intelligence, I intend to enter the Tower of Exile."

Jeremy's statement caused Howard's expression to shift swiftly to one of seriousness.

"I see! Then let us not waste any more time. I will have my aide take you to search for information related to the Tower of Exile as soon as possible."

Howard's response was marked by remarkable efficiency.

Under the guidance of General Howard's aide, Jeremy quickly gathered intelligence related to the Tower of Exile.

However, the information he obtained this time was, in fact, rather limited.

Jeremy learned that the Tower of Exile is a highly concealed area, and even within the Void Spirit World, few beings are aware of the specifics regarding the Tower of Exile.

After receiving this concerning intelligence, Jeremy felt that he could no longer acquire any more information in the real world, so he chose to bid farewell to Howard and Bonnie.

Jeremy swiftly returned to his home.

Once there, he secured his residence and retrieved the gemstone that had been entrusted to him by the entity known as the "World."

After successfully activating the power within the gemstone, Jeremy found himself in the realm of the class change goddess, Janna.

"You've come again? Shouldn't you be utilizing your awakened talents to tackle those instances and monsters in the real world?"

As soon as Jeremy arrived in the space of the class change goddess, Janna's voice echoed around him.

Jeremy took a few seconds to stabilize his own condition.

"I encountered a perplexing situation in the real world. I discovered an anomalous map that emanates the powers of the Tower of Exile. Therefore, I intend to enter the Tower of Exile.

Only by doing so can I unravel the truth of this world and confront the enemies hidden behind this anomalous map. If I do not act swiftly, a multitude of terrifying monsters will surely emerge from that map.

Thus, I chose to come here to seek your assistance. I hope to obtain information related to the Tower of Exile."

Jeremy rapidly articulated his purpose.

Upon hearing his words, the expression on the class change goddess Janna's face grew somewhat peculiar.

"I believe that with your current strength, you are not capable of entering the Tower of Exile. While the monsters within the Tower of Exile are not particularly high in level, the power of the Tower's master is exceedingly formidable."

Janna's tone was laced with hesitation as she spoke.

It seemed she deliberately refrained from mentioning the name of the master of the Tower of Exile.

Seizing this opportunity, Jeremy pressed further.

"Is the master of the Tower of Exile one of the planners behind the apocalypse game? Is it indeed the one known as 'the White Tower'?"

Jeremy voiced his speculation, however, upon hearing his words, the expression on the class change goddess Janna's face remained largely unchanged. This indicated that Jeremy had indeed guessed incorrectly.

"The master of the Tower of Exile is not at all 'the White Tower.' 'The White Tower' merely serves as the guardian of the Tower of Exile. The true master of the Tower of Exile is the most powerful entity among the planners of the apocalypse game, and is also the principal architect of the cataclysm itself—'Fool!'"

The moment the class change goddess Janna uttered the name "Fool." it appeared as though she were being interfered with by some anomalous force.

The blue aura surrounding Janna rapidly transformed into a deep black. Her expression swiftly contorted into one of savagery.

In response to this sudden turn of events, Jeremy did not immediately take action.

He chose to step back a few paces, once he had retreated to a sufficiently safe distance, he began to closely observe the state of the class change goddess Janna.

Jeremy would not act rashly, for he understood that he was incapable of defeating the class change goddess in this realm.
