At that time, Yan Zhihai had just finished a phone call with the little girl’s parents. After hanging up, the way the little girl’s eyes gradually lost their luster made Yan Zhihai exceptionally excited.
Afterwards, it’s when Wen Xishu and I arrived and killed Yan Zhihai.
"Is it that child...?" Tang Rui was in disbelief.
It’s unimaginable that the cycle of creating bizarre tales she suffered through was related to that child.
Wen Xishu said:
"These are all my guesses, I don’t have any evidence. But I thought about it, and maybe it’s that child."
"That child must have also been bullied and tormented by Yan Zhihai, perhaps even... suffered more than you did."
Tang Rui didn’t argue.
She had always lived in darkness, so she had an unusual resistance to it, and even... in her miserable life, Yan Zhihai was not the most hateful.
Her parents were.
She never felt the warmth of family. She endured too much suffering and loneliness, so she could recount those past events with a smile.
But what if she had felt it? What if her parents loved her?
Then all the pain would be concentrated on one person.
"Yan Zhihai is dead, but his sins haven’t all been settled. You’re not the only one he hurt."
"Imagine if my life’s meaning was revenge, but one day, the person I longed to personally get revenge on... was killed by someone else."
"Perhaps someone would be grateful to you, but there’s definitely another situation—someone might resent you for taking away their right to avenge."
Wen Xishu thought of the old principal; although he had let go of hatred and had larger goals, if he learned that someone had avenged him, taking away his right to personally revenge... he might still be unwilling, right?
Wen Xishu’s words left Tang Rui momentarily at a loss.
Wen Xishu said:
"Of course, I also don’t know if this is right, because I have no evidence. I’m just guessing based on a coincidence where an option appeared twice, and Jiang Yaozu’s last word before he died."
After a long silence, Tang Rui said:
"I think you might be right, Wen Xishu. Let’s start quickly. I want to return to that rainy night."
"If she longs for revenge, I’ll give her the chance for revenge."
For Wen Xishu, a veteran of the Deceit Tower, the difficulty of solving Tang Rui’s exclusive task was actually not high, so he basically grasped the key within three rounds.
He could even deduce the predicament Tang Rui might face.
Wen Xishu whispered:
"Tang Rui, you better think carefully, because perhaps... you will exchange identities. Perhaps you will experience some things again. You will feel the child’s inner hate. Some mental impacts may be very strong."
Tang Rui suddenly self-mocked with a smile:
"It’s okay."
"Wen Xishu, if it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have guessed, the truth would be like this. I just have one more question, why didn’t she directly kill Yan Zhihai in Jiangcheng?"
Wen Xishu said:
"She needs your ability. Her ability is abnormal but lacks something, and your emotional turmoil might be the complement."
"From the beginning, I was puzzled why the villain’s creative rights were given to you. Because you have emotional turmoil, you can let her experience certain emotions."
Tang Rui still didn’t understand:
"How do you know?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Teacher Tan, and that lawyer, they themselves haven’t experienced it, but after creating the bizarre tales, they have the corresponding past."
"This Jiangcheng is a parallel version of Jiangcheng, everyone is clean. Killing a clean Yan Zhihai is meaningless to her."
"Your emotional turmoil is the key of keys."
Tang Rui admired Wen Xishu because she herself absolutely couldn’t figure these things out, nor did she understand how Wen Xishu thought of them.
Wen Xishu actually reversed deduced through game thinking.
According to game thinking, since this journey is Tang Rui’s exclusive task, then the ultimate reward must be related to Tang Rui. Tang Rui is the protagonist.
For the first time, he redeemed Tang Rui, and Tang Rui’s Slaughter Tower upgraded.
For the second time, if he completes the exclusive task, perhaps Tang Rui will evolve again.
Emotional turmoil is just very powerful spiritual invasion, but now, Tang Rui is trapped in an almost real environment.
The target is a terrible existence that seems to create concrete scenes. This practically complements emotional turmoil.
Wen Xishu is even a bit excited... if the task is completed, what the complete Tang Rui will be like.
If the two can combine, it would almost be the level of a super Red House like Charlie. In the future, on the Three-Tower Battlefield, Tang Rui who evolves twice will definitely be a powerful ally worth clinging to.
Of course, it all depends on how the upcoming "revenge" will develop.
Very soon, Wen Xishu made all the choices.
Another urban bizarre tale was born.
The two successfully left the dream, Wen Xishu said:
"A new game has started again, and I hope this time will be the last."
Killing, imprisoning, redeeming, all these methods tried once and failed.
Wen Xishu could only think of revenge.
However, he’s not confident whether the girl hiding behind the scenes will appear tonight.
