Actually, if you can’t choose the first experience...
There’s a high probability that the following experiences are also hard to decide.
[Experience Two: Jiang Zhaonan fell in love with a man, and the man loved her back. This man is compassionate and selfless.]
Once knowing the game’s essence is to wrap distortion in seemingly normal words...
Wen Xishu felt that this was the time to test the darkness within oneself.
Tang Rui asked:
"This option... Is there a problem again?"
Wen Xishu sighed:
"I can only say, you are still too... not dark enough, this issue is as significant as the one before."
Wen Xishu was already looking at the third experience.
[Experience Three: Jiang Zhaonan fell in love with a man who cared for her like a father.]
Without a doubt, Jiang Zhaonan’s father was a jerk... so this option doesn’t seem good either.
Why not focus on a career instead of finding a man?
Wen Xishu genuinely thought, this girl is quite pitiful. Meanwhile, he realized he indeed had a dark mind—these experiences seemed like they could write a twisted and perverse story.
The most terrifying part is... this option actually allows multiple selections.
Any one of these options is enough to make someone collapse.
Wen Xishu pondered whether Tang Rui might later... be driven mad by the villains she herself designed?
Wen Xishu was continuously making choices while thinking.
Thinking about the purpose of this game.
Assuming...
Assuming the girl in the electronic screen is a deeply disgusting pervert, an enemy that Tang Rui must defeat.
Then, why must she make Tang Rui make these choices?
Wen Xishu quickly thought of Tang Rui’s ability—Mixed Feelings.
This ability allowed Tang Rui to experience Wen Xishu’s past, and so, the two exchanged secrets.
Tang Rui once stood from Wen Xishu’s perspective, feeling the loneliness of burning her parents alive.
So...
When Tang Rui faces these villains, wouldn’t she also be able to feel... their past?
Thinking like this, Wen Xishu felt a bit sympathetic.
He looked towards the final option:
[Experience Four: Jiang Zhaonan focused solely on her career, became successful, and everyone praised her endlessly. Yet, due to poor health, she retired early.]
Career? What kind of career? Praise endlessly?
Damn it, not one option is what a good person in the public sense would choose.
Wen Xishu fell silent.
Tang Rui said:
"Choose three."
After all, Tang Rui possessed Mixed Feelings and naturally understood that Wen Xishu’s silence at that moment was him contemplating how to best protect her.
She appreciated Wen Xishu’s tenderness at that moment.
"Wen Xishu... here, you and I are of one mind, you are truly amazing, and I didn’t understand before why I had to design these people’s experiences."
"Turned out, it was to utilize my ability to let me experience a similarly dark life through these experiences."
"Thank you."
"Choose three, three... relatively seems better. No matter how despicable her father is, I’ve been through such things too."
Wen Xishu felt a bit heartbroken hearing that.
He finally nodded:
"If I messed up the choice, it’s my responsibility, understand?"
Wen Xishu made the choice.
[Some say that men end up choosing a spouse who resembles their mother, while women choose someone like their father. Indeed, Jiang Zhaonan found a man as awful as her father—drunken, gambling, violent. Bruised and battered, she lived in a small house, often locked up and unable to move. When she became pregnant, on that day, she prayed to have a son.]
[Jiang Zhaonan gained the ability · Ghostly Embryo.]
[Jiang Zhaonan creation complete. She became a dark urban legend filled with intense hatred towards all men, wandering the city nights of Jiangcheng, always emanating a deadly allure to the drunkards who thought it was an amorous night, but it would be their last.]
Wen Xishu knew that from that moment on, there was another strange tale in that unique Jiangcheng, as if the apocalypse had never come.
Jiang Zhaonan, possessing Good Luck, Charm, Fusion, Ghostly Embryo. Four abilities.
Of course, as a legend, her basic stamina, speed, strength, were far above ordinary people.
The taxi driver’s target was couples, and this time, Jiang Zhaonan’s target was drunkards.
Wen Xishu sympathized with this Jiang Zhaonan.
He suddenly said:
"What will happen if we don’t care about her?"
The experiences of Jiang Zhaonan probably have debuffs that are no less than those of Tang Rui. If Jiang Zhaonan can be defeated, it would make Tang Rui empathize...
Then Wen Xishu would rather let this Jiang Zhaonan go.
Tang Rui sighed softly:
"Many people would die in Jiangcheng... Those who die will become nutrients for the birth of the next antagonist."
"I said, I’ve fallen into a strange cycle."
"I must kill the antagonists I personally designed, and this will let me experience their experiences."
"The side effect of Mixed Feelings is such that it gives me great spiritual power, but also puts me through some pain."
"I can ignore them. I can assure you, the real monster is in Jiangcheng."
"I mean the true mastermind. It’s hiding in Jiangcheng. But I cannot find it."
"Once I enter Jiangcheng, I’ll enter that continuously raining Jiangcheng that hasn’t been destroyed by the apocalypse."
"In this Jiangcheng, as long as I fall asleep, I’ll enter here and have to design a villain."
