Wen Xishu’s tone was extremely cold.
Wu Xiangjiao was originally a little angry, but next, Venerable Wen also said:
"Yes, what Ah Shu said is exactly what I wanted to say."
Venerable Wen’s words were short, because he couldn’t bear to treat Xiaowu like this either. But sometimes, people who feel inferior can’t take in encouragement from others, because no amount of encouragement feels deserved.
But they take criticism and blame from others to heart especially.
Xiaowu didn’t say anything, just nodded.
Wen Xiangge and Wu Xiangjiao also began to recount their experiences, both of them had failed as well. Listening to Wen Xiangge’s story, Wen Xishu could almost smell the stench through the screen.
Wu Xiangjiao’s recounting made all the men present feel an involuntary pain in their lower bodies.
"Sorry, I also failed... To be honest, I was scared at the time, that posture, it’s self-mutilation, it ensures you won’t have any descendants, his calm demeanor really just made me want to escape quickly." Wu Xiangjiao felt a bit dejected.
Wen Xiangge also said:
"If only... if only I could have endured it. Now, I don’t even dare enter that room."
Wen Xishu said:
"Alright, I understand the situation now. Venerable, you and Xiangjiao still have some mobility. Try to switch tasks a bit later. Don’t interact with the neighbors anymore but choose to explore this building instead."
"Then Xiangjiao, you go to the neighbor’s house that Venerable was responsible for, it’s best if you wear a mask or something."
"Venerable, you go to the neighbor’s house that Xiangjiao was responsible for."
Wen Xiangge and Wu Xiangjiao thought for a moment...
It might actually work. Perhaps what they couldn’t handle could be easily managed by the other.
Wen Xiangge once again marveled, Ah Shu was truly a good teammate. Wen Xishu finally added:
"Ah Miao, don’t expend any mobility tonight. With the invitation in your possession, your mobility is extremely valuable."
Ah Miao nodded:
"I understand, I’ll listen to you."
This meeting then concluded.
Wen Xishu no longer had any mobility left, and Ah Miao had also initiated two meetings, exhausting her mobility.
The two could only wait.
...
...
Miracle Mansion. The third day of the seven-day survival.
All those who had been invaded by the eerie presence were becoming more and more extreme.
Ah Miao stroked her wound and recalled that dream, the dream where she was being operated on without anesthesia, and the doctor told her that the cancer cells had spread.
She burst into laughter, startling the doctor. At that moment, she truly laughed, stroking her face that was still bleeding.
Wen Xiangge began to feel nauseous. The events of the day had become an inescapable shadow.
Wu Xiangjiao kept thinking about that sentence, "Ah Jiao, let’s complete the purification."
This was only the third day, and some people were already on the verge of madness. Conversely, the increasingly inferior Xiaowu kept replaying Wen Xishu’s words and that disgusted look in his mind, afraid of being hated even more.
Fortunately, though, everyone still had the ability to think. The twisted nature couldn’t yet suppress their will to survive.
Wen Xishu couldn’t sleep at all, and with nothing else to do, time dragged on for him.
Moreover, Wen Xishu also knew that having an invitation meant the possibility of completely rewriting the source code of the instance.
Therefore, his mobility shouldn’t be wasted. So he could only patiently wait for the 24-hour countdown to end.
Amidst the slightly torturous waiting, he finally received the invitation.
[Item obtained: Invitation·The Youngest Son of the Financial Family]
When Wen Xishu received this prompt, he sprang up immediately. His dark circles were noticeable and the blood vessels in his eyes were exaggerated, but the excitement on his face showed his physical condition was still alright.
He quickly opened the invitation.
[On the road to playing the waste, he was always very serious. He always thought his grandfather could see the true thoughts in his heart. But could there really be no kinship in a financial family? He didn’t like his current name. It all started when his grandfather contacted a person who claimed to be Scorpio. Perhaps you can help him, and find joy.]
[Note: This mission involves unlocking the clue fragments for the seventh-level completeness of other tiers. Even in the Desire Tower, you might encounter dangers. Challengers, please allocate your Luck Value accordingly.]
Wen Xishu’s eyes lit up instantly.
Scorpio?
He was now very sensitive to the number seven, but also to star signs. A sixth-level completeness would attract the gaze of some special existence.
The first time, he was gazed at by the eerie Gemini.
The second time, he encountered the eerie Virgo’s gaze, as well as Gemini’s gaze.
This was his third ascent up the tower. Wen Xishu thought carefully...
and suddenly found a pattern.
"Gemini, it might mean that in the Three Towers game, there are two people who attract each other, like Jack and Jennifer, who are mutually attracted. Thus, Gemini."
"Virgo, it might mean that in the Three Towers game, you will encounter someone who was supposed to be very pure but undergoes a dramatic change, leading to complete distortion, a female."
"Then what about Scorpio?"
Wen Xishu didn’t really pay much attention to star signs. His greatest understanding of star signs came from the Saint Seiya.
However, with this special presentation style in the Deceit Tower, this mobility mechanism... perhaps it indicates that Scorpio is related to the game.
Wen Xishu had read a lot of obscure knowledge. The person known as the "Father of Video Games" in history, William Gibson, was a Scorpio.
One of the stereotypes about Scorpios on various websites is "love to play and love to mess with opponents."
"So does Scorpio mean that if there are many gamified attributes, then in the Three Towers game, this area would likely be under Scorpio’s gaze?"
