Wen Xishu pondered for a moment and then came to a realization:
"During her student days, she was bullied. Wasn't there a boy who stood up for her, and in the end, this boy was expelled from the school?"
Wenren Mirror nodded.
Wen Xishu said:
"That's it, Senior Wenren, that boy was Liu Jianxin."
Wenren Mirror wasn't foolish, she just didn't have an invitation card and didn't know the whole story.
"I see, no wonder that world... everyone seems so... profit-driven."
"Did that boy later awaken some kind of power that made everyone selfish and self-serving?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I don't know, the world of Deceit Tower is a different style. Besides, I'm not sure which timeline the invitation will take me to."
Wenren Mirror said:
"Everything I experienced was in Deep City. It was a beautiful city, but the people there, in general, weren't very... happy."
Wen Xishu knew what was going on.
Wenren Mirror said:
"Be careful of the Destructive ones. I haven't found the Destructive ones, which is my oversight... but I highly suspect that the city's atmosphere is related to the Destructive ones."
Wen Xishu said:
"Don't worry, Senior, I'm the nemesis of the Destructive."
Wen Xishu and Wenren Mirror quickly cheered up and didn't allow themselves to be immersed in the sadness of losing a senior.
Wenren Mirror patted Wen Xishu on the shoulder:
"Little Tree, come back safely."
Wen Xishu nodded and activated the Login Device.
...
...
Deep City.
This city was not unfamiliar to Wen Xishu, and he knew which city from his previous life it corresponded to.
The An Family Brothers came to mind first. The An Family Brothers later took refuge and came to Deep City.
The invitation under the perfect ending of the Deceit Tower could originally allow Wen Xishu to play any role.
But Wen Xishu ultimately just entered a perfect timeline node.
He couldn't play a role because the invitation wasn't obtained by himself. It shows that the Mad Dice at Madness Peak still has some minor flaws.
Walking in this city, Wen Xishu watched the passersby and felt that none of them had any expressions on their faces. They looked as if they carried a faint... hatred.
Wen Xishu tried to inquire about some information, but the passersby coldly pushed him away:
"I don't know. Don't ask me."
He could understand that this was a defensive stance. If people felt an environment was dangerous and people were evil, they would often be very cautious and resistant to strangers.
Without Wenren Mirror's top modeling skills, it would sometimes be difficult to break the situation in the Desire Tower.
Wen Xishu wasn't in a hurry either:
"It seems like this is the eve of the apocalypse. That's not right... There might not even be a shadow of the apocalypse yet."
The entire city appeared to be normal.
Wen Xishu's approach when facing a lack of clues was simple—the Compass.
In some respects, the Compass's assistance to Wen Xishu was not any less than the Scorpion Knife.
Speaking of the Scorpion Knife, this knife finally returned to normal—the protagonist of the simulation was no longer someone else, but had become Wen Xishu.
In other words, in the Deceit Tower, Wen Xishu was the Tower Guardian, but now that he's in the Desire Tower, Wen Xishu has become a Tower Climber.
Madness Peak only works on the Deceit Tower.
Wen Xishu attempted a simulation.
He found a deserted corner and used the Scorpion Knife to initiate a round of simulation.
[Simulation starts.]
[You arrived in Deep City three years before the apocalypse, and you're surprised that the timeline is so far ahead.]
[This makes you think of Charlie from the Land of Dust. Upon close comparison, you also find that they seem quite similar; their states of mind seemingly capable of constructing a world.]
[But unlike Charlie, that martial arts world only exists in the Obsession World. Reality doesn't seem to have changed.]
[But thinking about this, you start to wonder... what exactly is Liu Jianxin's ability?]
[Guided by the Compass, you venture to the center of Deep City. In that seemingly magnificent commercial building lies countless dirty secrets.]
[You can't directly find Liu Jianxin. At this moment, Liu Jianxin is making an extremely important decision in his life. He is in the chairman's office of a company.]
[You decide to forcibly find Liu Jianxin and try to make him realize that the world should not be like this.]
[You face unimaginably strong enemies, and you realize... you might die. Before dying, you hear a girl's soft gasp.]
[You survive by the skin of your teeth, but to stay alive, you're forced to make a pact with the girl; your sense of good and evil is about to be twisted.]
[Returning to the Bunker later, your twisted sense of good and evil will inevitably lead more people down your dark path. Your immense influence causes countless people to start degenerating like you.]
[Ending achieved: Pre-fall.]
Wen Xishu was dumbfounded.
What the heck?
What kind of ending is this?
A downfall ending?
Cold sweat broke out on Wen Xishu's forehead.
It's a good thing he had the whim to check the simulation results, otherwise wouldn't he just be... dead?
He immediately realized the complexity of this mission.
"Aquarius?"
Indeed, from the description, he encountered formidable foes, ones Wen Xishu couldn't handle at his current stage.
And the twist of good and evil, the personal downfall... all of these are linked to Aquarius.
So Wen Xishu surmised the outcome: on his quest to find Liu Jianxin, he encountered subordinates of Aquarius.
Perhaps even Aquarius himself was there. If he went to find Liu Jianxin unprepared, he would be captured by Aquarius.
The twist of good and evil, the downfall of mind and body.
