"If you think the game is a product of escaping reality, then don't let the game intervene with reality. Charlie's Land of Dust might suit your taste, but I must protect Charlie."
Wen Xishu looked at Scorpio.
Scorpio suddenly smirked:
"Brother, have you forgotten... Although I've always called you brother, you're just a... Tower Climber in the Bunker."
"And I, am God."
Scorpio seemed a bit angry, unsure if he was angered.
Wen Xishu still remembers, the first encounter with Scorpio was frightening, he was very cautious then.
But it's strange...
Now it seems he's not afraid of Scorpio anymore.
Facing Scorpio, Wen Xishu gradually took the upper hand.
"Sirius is with you, right? Wu Xiang, Tian Qin, Qilin, you're curious about their whereabouts too, aren't you?"
"When in the Ark, you appeared to warn me. Soon after, I saw myself and the old principal in the chess game you set, battling Leo."
"Not only Leo, but Libra, Pisces, they're all part of the plan, aren't they?"
"Brother, you used me to expand your strength, I became part of your game, so you should know threatening the characters you manipulate is very unwise."
"I'm determined to save Charlie, if you dare to stir trouble, try me and see if I'll change the future Pisces sees."
"Will the scorpion poison the lion, or will the lion slay the scorpion? Ultimately, isn't it up to me?"
Scorpio again tilted his head, his smile became adorable once more.
He didn't really mind Wen Xishu's threat, but rather felt joyful about the "brother" in the conversation.
"Alright, alright, brother, I wasn't in a good mood just now, but I'm feeling much better now. Forget it, there are still many more interesting games, you've only climbed halfway through your tower journey, we have many more opportunities for cooperation."
"Brother, I didn't use you, we have always been cooperating, mutually benefiting, isn't that what brothers do?"
"Alright, alright, I'm leaving, my little knife will bring you more support in the future."
Scorpio waved his hand with a smile.
This meeting naturally came to an end.
Wen Xishu was actually a bit surprised.
He knew people only get embarrassed when hit on a sore spot, he saw anger and resentment on Scorpio's face.
He suddenly thought, this child...
Maybe really created a game, and in that game, he's truly escaping reality, escaping a reality that will get him killed by all his siblings.
Wen Xishu didn't know, if one of the twelve strongest zodiac signs died...
Will the other signs be sad?
Once the first zodiac's death occurs, will the other signs carry on the slaughter?
Who would be the first to die?
Wen Xishu naturally was not sympathetic to them, he was just thinking, if born bearing the fate to slaughter until only oneself is left to ascend as God...
It might indeed be very painful.
Wen Xishu shook his head, soon, he started meeting the next zodiac sign.
By rights, the next should be Sagittarius, but Sagittarius, to avoid suspicion, found an excuse to refuse.
Simply put, Sagittarius didn't expect so many people to be eyeing Charlie, so he gave up.
This fits his character.
Of course, he was actually afraid, afraid that meeting here after his fate was tied with Wen Xishu, would pose a risk.
That it might be sensed by some sibling.
And so...
Sagittarius abstained.
On Charlie, what interested Sagittarius was also Charlie's power. Charlie's emotions, things of some mental significance, could materialize into various monsters.
This power, Sagittarius deeply desired to comprehend.
He believed that through cooperation with the Tower Climber, during the process of defeating Charlie, he might attain some sort of power.
But upon reflection...
Every time Wen Xishu summoned him, he would have an epiphany, he didn't lack this time.
And so Sagittarius abstained.
Wen Xishu also guessed that Sagittarius was rather... cautious.
So this time Wen Xishu would meet not Sagittarius... but Aquarius.
"Hmph, I hate you! I hate you! You must have done many things I hate, otherwise I wouldn't dislike you from the start."
Aquarius and Scorpio are quite alike, both have child-like appearances. Except Aquarius appears to be the kind of mischievous little girl.
She carries a bottle, unlike the representation of benevolence in Wen Xishu's past life, Aquarius is simply a bottle of pure bad water.
"But Charlie is very cute, he has the potential to transform completely into pure evil, hehe, his world already has no one who loves him, he also developed intense hatred towards humans."
"He was originally kind-hearted, but now with a little guidance, he can become absolute evil."
"This transformation between good and evil is precisely what I need."
"Well, I can choose not to hate you, but this time you must stand on my side."
Aquarius said matter-of-factly.
Wen Xishu said:
"What makes you think... I will stand on your side?"
Aquarius said:
"Do you insist on good people being rewarded, evil people being punished?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I hope everyone has this expectation. But I know the world isn't like this."
Aquarius said:
"What if it is?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"If it were, then in my homeland, a group of invaders wouldn't have committed those atrocities in history."
Aquarius was puzzled, but after thinking for a bit, she decided to elaborate:
"My ability is to drive good and evil. I can turn extreme evil into extreme good."
"I can also turn extreme good into absolute evil."
