Chapter 25: Deep Underground

9:00 AM, Thorn District, Marin Benbu Park.

This park, built a few years ago, was located near the residential area where Gongsun Ce lived, named after the donor, Marin Benbu. The interior of the park was lush with greenery, with spring flowers becoming even more vivid against the backdrop of green leaves, and the fresh air refreshed the two who had just come out from the sewage plant area.

At the center of the park stood a towering white spire, one of the several hundred "thorns" of the Thorn District. The base of the white tower was extremely thick, which made Alice think of the branches of century-old trees, though even the ancient trees in her memory seemed delicate compared to the giant before her.

Alice couldn't see what use such a "thorn" could have, but she recalled the conversation between Gongsun Ce and Mo Yuankai more than ten minutes ago and started to believe the theory proposed by the information dealer.
