Back in 2013, the US government sliced off a chunk of NYC and handed it over to the superpowered bunch, forming this place called "TOWER" It's just ready for superhumans—no regular folks allowed.
Then, in 2014, other countries started copying the US move. Similar mini-cities popped up in those countries too, but only in the wealthy ones.
Fast forward to 2023, when World War III explodes. Nuclear weapons turned the air into a slow poison, choking everyone. Those sliced-off cities were safe havens. They had these unbreakable shields that kept the nastiness out. So, all the survivors got ushered into these government-guarded cities.
Our story takes place in "TOWER"

The Guardians of "TOWER"

"Name unknown?!" Jackson spat out the milk.


"It's like this: I used Face Finder to check his identity, and it didn't work, so I checked the birth records, criminal records, nothing!" Alicia took out the handkerchief because Brian was spat on by Jackson's milk. "So I suspect it's just an artificial human."


"Aren't you imaginative enough?" Brian said, rubbing his elbow.


"There have been such cases before," Jackson said. "A company which named Opeque used to manufacture a large number of artificial humans and secretly sell them to various major countries. Although they were later discovered by a secret committee and the artificial humans were destroyed, there is no evidence to prove that Opeque was guilty and had to put the boss in prison for two months and then let him go."


"Why do you say that the veins are getting swollen?" Brian said, pointing to his hand.


"Because I'm fucking in charge of this case!" Jackson turned up the volume.


"That's why you stepped back?" Brian opened his mouth widek?" Brian opened his mouth wide. Jackson used to be the vanguard of the "Disciplinary Committee," like Alicia, and then somehow became the collation of evidence, and now Brian hears the reason.


"Yeah." Jackson controlled his emotions a little.


"Okay, so who else is capable of being an android?" Brian asked.


"They're all tech companies, but you might have to wait until you're 40 to find them." Alicia shrugged and shook her head.


A burst of piano sound came, and the three of them ran back to class in fright.


Brian was on his way home, so he didn't notice a man following him with a worried face.


"Hey." Brian heard a girl's voice, turned his head to look, and sighed instantly.


"Don't sigh so loudly!" Lily was annoyed by his appearance but not completely offended.


"I...um...yes." When Lily said this, she was very unconfident, but in the next second, she said confidently, "I will definitely beat you this time!"


"Then explain why you moved your eyes to the left."


"If a person wants to lie, he must use the left brain to organise language, and the eyes will move to the left." Brian's words frightened Lily: "Answer me, why do you lie?"


"Don't you already know why my eyes moved to the left?"


"Okay, it's like this, I..." Lily shifted uneasily, and suddenly something pierced a hole in her left shoulder. Brian noticed it quickly, so he grabbed her and ran in the alley.


"Mmmm!"  Lily tried to pull Brian's hand away from his mouth with both hands, but she didn't notice that Brian's other hand was covering her wound.


"Quiet, I'm afraid you'll make noise in pain." Brian moved slowly, then hid behind a trash can.


Lily couldn't take it anymore; she was a daughter. Even though she was lively, she didn't try to hide behind the trash can, so the stench there almost didn't kill her.


Brian seemed quite used to the smell, so he just frowned.


But he never imagined that the guy who wanted to kill Lily could guess that he was near the trash can!
