Is it possible that there are no more stories for the next decades?
Qilin gave the answer this time:
"Actually, there have always been. Even after the Three Towers War starts, many targets with obsessions will still exist. Their obsessions, due to the absence of the Deceit Tower, naturally do not become strange checkpoints."
"But obsessions not belonging to this time period cannot be recorded by the Deceit Tower, causing them to potentially destabilize the Obsession World and negatively affect the Three Towers."
"Thus, our goal is to enter the world of the Three Towers War, capture the Obsessed, either kill or capture them to become employees of the Three Towers Company. Or eliminate their obsessions."
"In essence, the Three Towers Company is actually... an assassin organization."
"From Deceit Thirteen to Deceit One, all are sent to the Three Towers War battlefield to eliminate those who have significant obsessions affecting the stability of the Three Towers."
Wen Xishu roughly understood.
Many times, if the timing is wrong, everything is wrong.
The Obsessed, also known as those with rare qualities, their obsessions are recorded by the Deceit Tower, turning into strange checkpoints.
But if they aren’t on the corresponding timeline... The obsessions are like radio interference, not absorbed by the Deceit Tower, but instead repelled, and the obsessions themselves also affect the Deceit Tower.
In other words, these obsessions have no meaning.
Obsessions that can be used by me, I will turn them into checkpoints, but obsessions not useful to me... I will create a correction mechanism to eliminate them.
Thus, both the Deceit Tower and Three Towers established the Three Towers Company, which will serve the Gods in the future. The service involves eliminating the Obsessed in the Three Towers War.
The Three Towers Company initially had no one, but soon found the Qilin who longed to survive and not be killed by other zodiac signs.
And gave Qilin a position where he wouldn’t be killed in the short term.
At least Qilin wouldn’t be the first zodiac to die.
With Qilin, the Three Towers Company began to function normally.
Qilin began recruiting others to eliminate the Obsessed.
Wen Xishu listened and understood this.
He asked:
"Then, as people entering the real world from the Obsession World, are there any restrictions?"
Qilin nodded:
"Of course, first, you can’t reveal your name or any identity."
"You can only act using code names; Deceit One to Deceit Fourteen are your code names."
"The smaller the number, the higher the combat power, and the higher the risk of the task."
"Remember, you don’t exist in the real world. You are merely creations of the Obsession World."
"Logically speaking, besides the Bunker People who can enter the Desire Tower through an invitation..."
"It is invited by the real world’s mechanism and allowed, but other methods are not allowed."
"The real world has a correction mechanism. Once your existence is discovered... this mechanism will eliminate you. Unless you have an invitation."
"There are many ways to trigger the correction mechanism, and a name is just one of them. It’s best not to say a single word after entering the Three Towers War, find your target, kill them, complete the task and retreat; that’s the standard task process."
Understood, only use the code name Deceit Fourteen.
However, this brings a lot of restrictions; to avoid being eliminated, it’s best not to speak at all.
Wen Xishu asked:
"Is there no other possibility? Can’t reveal names at all?"
Qilin thought for a moment and said:
"No one else, but maybe you can."
"Unless it’s someone you’ve encountered in the Three Towers and has a deep impression of you."
"Deceit One and Deceit Thirteen don’t have it, but you might because you come from the Bunker. They come from the Apocalypse Era."
"They can’t contact the obsessions in the Deceit Tower, but you can."
Wen Xishu smiled:
"Next time, don’t wait for me to ask before sharing such important information."
Wen Xishu felt much more relaxed.
Great, now I need to find a way to complete Tang Rui’s Slaughter Tower mission.
Take that letter into the Slaughter Tower.
Complete the mission, expand Tang Rui’s fortune, then enter the Three Towers War battlefield through the Three Towers Company...
Maybe I can rely on Tang Rui?
Only in the Three Towers, and with someone who has a deep impression of you, communication is allowed.
This is simply wonderful.
It’s like experiencing the Three Towers War in advance.
However, Wen Xishu still felt strange, not completely trusting Qilin’s words.
In his view, the Deceit Tower is interfered with by obsessions, thus needing to kill future Apocalypse Era Obsessed...
It feels very odd.
He couldn’t pinpoint the oddness.
But for now, he couldn’t find any flaw in Qilin. This half-black, half-white person, although having expressions, seemed unreal whether smiling or surprised.
Like an NPC in a novel tasked with reading answers, showing no personality inclination.
Is the Three Towers Company really as Qilin describes, serving the zodiac signs?
There’s potential for these notions to be overthrown.
But evidently, only by joining can the truth be glimpsed.
"Lastly, as a Bunker Person, your time is only seven days. It’s the rule of the Bunker. Within seven days, as long as you remain a Bunker Person and haven’t signed agreements like those given by Capricorn..."
"You must return to the Bunker."
"And this conflicts with your normal tower climbing; you must choose one."
"You normally trigger a Three Towers War task every three to five tower climbs."
"This task, even if triggered, can be declined."
"But once accepted, you forfeit the original Deceit Tower task."
"Got it?"
The Three Towers Company comes from the Three Towers...
But the Deceit Tower task and the Three Towers War task, both originating from the Three Towers, are conflicting?
Wen Xishu sensed something amiss again.
However, he appeared calm on the surface, as if everything was reasonable.
"After all this talk, do I have a task this time?"
Qilin nodded:
"Certainly, although the process isn’t complete, you have successfully passed our interview test."
"Next, the company will transport you to a random location we aren’t aware of."
"But you will receive special hints. Find the person matching the hint, kill them, and you’ve completed the task."
"Will you enter?"
Qilin’s face remained unstirred.
In the middle of the half-black, half-white attire, there is no grey area.
Either kill or recruit, no other choice.
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and chose to go and have a look first. With the Compass, he can always find the target.
Maybe it can guide him to find some... interesting people.
"I accept the task; best to arrange my entry now."
Qilin nodded:
"Congratulations, officially becoming our teammate."
"Considering your Lion Heart Brand and numerous connections with zodiac signs. Your position certainly won’t be the lowest."
"Would you like your code name to be Deceit Seven?"
Wen Xishu felt like laughing, how has seven become so connected with him.
He asked:
"What about the original Deceit Seven?"
Qilin sighed slightly:
"Missing, most likely... dead. You must know, after the Apocalypse Era, with the onset of the Three Towers War... the battlefield is filled with powerful monsters."
"Those who survive are no simple matter."
"Sometimes they even encounter zodiac signs or existences that could become ’Outer God’."
"In that battlefield, there are people whose combat power surpasses my siblings."
"So the mortality rate is very high."
"Being low-key and having survival methods are sometimes more crucial than having lethal methods."
Qilin produced an employee badge.
The official employee badge of Three Towers Company.
Wen Xishu took the badge, which immediately displayed his photo and name. However, the name quickly changed from Wen Xishu to Deceit Seven.
Wen Xishu implicitly accepted this code name.
Simultaneously, he received the task.
[First external task acquired. Accept? Hide the badge?]
Wen Xishu selected all as yes.
Qilin sensed a special energy fluctuation, the power of time and space flow.
He nodded to Wen Xishu:
"After completing this task, you’ll return here first, then we’ll send you back to your team."
"Finally, you’ll return to the Bunker."
"If everything goes smoothly this time, you’ll earn the challenge reward of the Bunker and the reward from Three Towers Company."
"Good luck, Deceit Seven."
