The explosion at Dragon-Gazing Tower made Alliance news. Reports said it had affected an entire floor and killed more than a dozen people.
It was the first incident involving mass casualties in a prosperous district since the River Domain Alliance had entered its new era.

And Huang Tao did not like calling a soul data.
[Neural interactive synesthesia] was extremely dangerous.
Once the route back was cut off, returning to a human body became impossible.
Both methods required neural signal sensing
