Wen Xishu asked a piercing question.
"You are Qilin. As far as I know, all constellations are looking for you. You’ve hidden in the Obsession World, but there are Capricorn and Sagittarius there too."
"Aren’t you afraid of being found? Is the Three Towers Company protecting you?"
A series of questions made Qilin feel that this guy seemed prepared.
Qilin knew many things but didn’t know Wen Xishu’s past.
Wen Xishu’s past experiences come from the Three Towers Company.
The judgment given by the Three Towers Company is that Wen Xishu is good at cheating. Even Qilin only knows that Wen Xishu has a strange power that can bypass certain fundamental rules.
But exactly what power it is, he doesn’t know.
He now feels that Wen Xishu seems to deal with constellations quite a bit?
"How many constellations have you encountered?"
"Almost all of them. Currently, I have yet to encounter only Heracles, Lyra, and Cancer."
"I’ve met all the other constellations. Some even have a good relationship with me. Since Gua Er knows about the Lion Heart Brand on me, you definitely know too."
"Are you sure you want someone like me?"
"What if during a task execution I get captured, and under harsh interrogation, I expose your location, wouldn’t you be in trouble?"
Wen Xishu isn’t worried about being in trouble. He just wants Qilin to say it himself, about the safety assurance of Three Towers Company employees.
And what Qilin’s stance is.
"Everyone will die eventually. If you were in my position and felt the horror of those obsessions, you would be like me, wanting to calm these obsessions."
Qilin sighed.
"Since you know many things, that’s great. I can speak frankly to you."
"Yes, the Three Towers Company serves God, it is God’s company."
"That God isn’t me but my brothers and sisters. As you know, I have twelve siblings of extraordinary strength."
"My ability is much weaker than theirs."
"Among them, including us, each death... brings them closer to God."
"Eventually, a God will be born, and that God will take over the Three Towers Company."
"But I don’t know why the Three Towers Company actively chose me to manage."
"When I was chosen, I accepted my mission."
"I’m destined to die. But perhaps, the constellation that becomes God can accomplish what I long to do."
"In that case, my death would be worthwhile."
Wen Xishu said:
"You have no bias? You don’t favor any single one? Among the many constellations, is there no one you subjectively want to assist?"
Qilin shook his head:
"To me, it doesn’t matter who God is."
This is different from Phoenix’s avoidance, and also different from Sirius’s active or passive choice.
Qilin’s attitude is akin to feeling indifferent about who the mayor is, as he is just there to assist the mayor.
Wen Xishu can still accept this kind of cooperation.
Qilin said:
"I’m not afraid of other constellations knowing me because if they truly understand, they’ll realize my death isn’t the most urgent matter."
Yes, once they understand that Qilin is doing things for the future constellation that can become God...
Any constellation with a bit of ambition wouldn’t kill Qilin.
After all, what if they themselves become that God in the future? Wouldn’t it be like killing their own company executive?
It must be said, this is quite an intriguing and clever survival strategy.
Qilin mixes better than Sirius and Phoenix. It seems, Heracles and Lyra won’t be safer than Qilin.
Qilin slowly said:
"No matter whom you get along with, whom you wish to assist, it has nothing to do with me, but if you have enough confidence, I think..."
"Joining us is like helping him in advance, and you will also surely understand, what Three Towers Company does is meaningful."
Wen Xishu is naturally inclined toward Gemini.
But before Wen Chaohua’s secrets are all cleared up, he couldn’t say for sure, but Qilin is right, helping in advance is generally good.
"I agree to join."
Once joined, one can know what Mr. Jin is up to on the Three Towers War battlefield.
Also can know what Evelyn’s current situation is.
"Tell me, what are we doing? What does capturing Obsessed mean?"
Qilin said:
"First, you should be clear, Deceit Tower is the Obsession World. It is a world constructed by the obsessions of countless people before and after the apocalypse timeline."
"Deceit Tower divides them into numerous levels, tasks."
"Many are related to the apocalypse, and can generally be identified as occurring in the years before the apocalypse and one to two years after."
"Compared with the real world, the Obsession World seems deformed and twisted, more like a series of levels filled with human nature games and puzzle elements."
"These obsessions originate from people’s own experiences and various emotions."
"Depending on how perfectly you complete... or rather, dissolve these obsessions, it is possible to help the owner of the obsession achieve growth."
"In the future, some may even become another... ’God’."
"However, the obsession container, which is the Deceit Tower, does not absorb all obsessions, some obsessions will not enter the Deceit Tower."
"Three to five years after the apocalypse, does no one hold obsessions?"
Wen Xishu did think about this question. How come the obsessions in Deceit Tower are all from the eve of or shortly after the apocalypse?
