The happiness of children is always so simple.
The reason for Wen Xishu's joy was actually partly because—
Little Jennifer had great potential to become a little witch.
She wasn't afraid of monsters, not as snobbish as her mother, and had a certain interest and acceptance of the unknown.
Moreover, she was very smart. When encountering danger, although scared, she could stay calm.
These qualities, combined with her potential to advance to become Deceit Jennifer, made Wen Xishu look forward to it.
However, thinking that he would probably never see Jennifer again in the future, he felt there was nothing to look forward to.
This meal didn't last very long.
At the table, Wen Xishu just kept asking Jennifer questions.
Yulia was very happy, thinking this was true love. Wen Xishu thought Yulia was a bit too easy to conquer.
He suddenly realized that this was probably the effect of appearance and money.
As a "doctor" and a disintegrator, he had already grasped the paths of many people through multiple cycles, and he had plenty of money.
So Wen Xishu chose a rather expensive restaurant.
He wasn't very interested in flirting, but now he could feel the huge impact the meeting place had on a woman's impression.
Wen Xishu clearly only cared about Jennifer, and was quite perfunctory when Yulia introduced herself.
Even so, Yulia was very eager to share her worldview, which was pretty much Tu Lei's set.
Wen Xishu was in a hurry, thinking that Jennifer was happy now, and he had to leave quickly.
If he didn't plant the stakes, staying in such a boring place as Desire Tower was unnecessary.
So he left after paying the bill midway through.
Interestingly, this act of leaving after paying the bill midway surprisingly made a **Yulia's favorability increased** notification appear in his mind.
Wen Xishu was speechless.
...
...
After leaving the restaurant, Wen Xishu found a place where no one was around.
He planned to return to Deceit Tower through the invitation, but the moment he opened the invitation, he suddenly became very curious...
"I did change a lot of things, but if Deceit Tower and Desire Tower have a causal relationship, will it still be the same scene when I return to Deceit Tower?"
Wen Xishu was sure that in terms of bringing joy to Jennifer, he had done his utmost.
Except for playing the role of Jennifer's dad, which he really couldn't do. But he did find a powerful patron for Jennifer.
"If Jack isn't so miserable anymore... will he still kill Jennifer?"
"If Jack didn't kill Jennifer, then would Jennifer still call for help?"
If Jennifer didn't call for help, then he shouldn't have appeared.
With many questions in mind, Wen Xishu pressed his handprint on the invitation.
...
The familiar feeling descended again, and the surroundings changed once more.
Countless straight white lines crisscrossed and cut the surrounding space.
Then these white lines began to expand continuously, gradually, everything in Wen Xishu's eyes became a vast white.
Just as Wen Xishu thought he would return to the original scene in Deceit Tower...
Suddenly, a huge amount of information floated into Wen Xishu's mind in the form of text.
In this world, many people reverse cause and effect, but changing causality can indeed make many things turn around.
**Due to changes in the Desire Tower plot, Deceit Tower's twenty-first level "Jack's Fatal Deceit Building" will be reset.**
**All players currently participating in this task (except invitation holders) will have their memory modules synchronized and modified.**
**Memory module modification in progress.**
**Deceit Tower starting logic repair simulation.**
**Simulation starting.**
**Jack and his mother suddenly disappeared and were not seen for several days. Remian spread many nasty words, and Anderson searched every corner of Jack's room.**
**Jennifer firmly believed that Uncle Jack would not break his appointment, and that he would appear one day to invite her to an interesting performance.**
**The world underwent a massive change, and some of those chosen by the tower began to evolve.**
**In this dangerous world, Yulia had to abandon Jennifer. When there was only one berth left to escape the apocalypse, Yulia chose to abandon Jennifer. Jennifer was left in Mo'en City full of mutants.**
**The mother and daughter might meet again, or they might never meet again, but Yulia definitely didn't want to encounter the "new" Jennifer anymore.**
**Remian was extremely scared, but Jack told him not to be afraid because in the apocalypse, no one would harm a mute corpse.**
**Anderson would always be Jack's good friend. Their friendship, like frozen meat in a refrigerator, could be kept for decades. Even if the refrigerator stopped working, Jack wouldn't mind.**
**On this day, you received a distress call from Jennifer. She needed to leave her area and head to Jack's Deceit Building. This pair, not father and daughter but closer than father and daughter, seemed to sense each other's presence.**
**With the relentless efforts of you and your teammates, you successfully escorted Jennifer to the entrance of the Deceit Building.**
**The two monsters successfully met and were grateful for your actions.**
**Related memory module replacement completed, scene loading in progress...**
[Your favorability with Deceit Jack increased to 75.]
[Your favorability with Deceit Jennifer increased to 90.]
[Jack's favorability towards Jennifer increased to 100.]
[Jennifer's favorability towards Jack increased to 100.]
[You have caught the attention of the special entity, Deceit Gemini, your favorability with Deceit Gemini increased to 1.]
[Unlocked pre-requisites for recruiting Slaughter Jack, unlocked pre-requisites for recruiting Slaughter Jennifer.]
A massive amount of information flooded into Wen Xishu's mind. Wen Xishu felt momentarily stunned by the sheer volume of this information.
As expected, there are Slaughter Jack and Slaughter Jennifer. But what is Deceit Gemini?
Before he could fully digest this information, he found himself back at the starting point.
Jack's old building, first floor, entrance.
He was standing at the entrance, Jennifer standing outside. This scene was almost identical to when he was transferred to Desire Tower through the invitation.
But the difference was that Jack appeared in front of Wen Xishu.
That arm exuding a stench of decay, flesh and blood torn, exposing parts of white bone.
It still looked very thin, but had become extraordinarily tall. The body shape of Deceit Jack was definitely that of a giant, but looking at its proportions, it was indeed very thin.
This made Wen Xishu think of a hybrid between an alien and a human.
Upon seeing the mask on Deceit Jack's face, Wen Xishu suddenly smiled.
The mask was pieced together from four eyes and ears, as well as two noses.
Though it looked terrifying, Wen Xishu felt quite satisfying, knowing where those eyes and ears came from.
He didn't care whether Deceit Jack was a good person, but he hoped Deceit Jack could be a not-so-boring good person.
"Thank you for bringing Jennifer back. In Mo'en City, you are our friend. I rarely acknowledge humans as my friends."
Jack's smile looked just like Wen Xishu facing Jennifer inside Desire Tower.
Wen Xishu returned the same smile:
"I am honored to become friends with you. If you mind, you can consider me non-human."
He adapted very quickly.
It was like playing those simulator games in a past life, with a bunch of random texts briefly summarizing a person's entire life.
Initially, he had been wondering how the cause and effect between Desire Tower and Deceit Tower would manifest. He didn't expect it to restart directly.
The task had changed from rescuing Jennifer out of the old building to escorting Jennifer into the old building.
This time, Wen Xishu did not team up with anyone, meaning it was a solo mission.
But from the previous text information, if he had teamed up, the memories of other teammates without an invitation letter...
Their memories would have been replaced. This was truly a domineering change.
This type of change, or rather handling, was something Wen Xishu really liked.
Because it recognized his significant impact on this task, or on the lives of Jack and Jennifer.
The more significant the impact, the higher the completion of the storyline would likely be.
He came here to achieve a level four completion.
"Big brother, do you want to stay with us?" Jennifer said, holding Jack's hand.
Wen Xishu replied:
"I still need to explore other places, unfortunately, I have to leave."
Jennifer blinked, showing reluctance.
"Then... can I know your name?"
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and decided to say his name:
"My name is Wen Xishu. You can call me Brother Shu, big brother is not a good title."
Jennifer remembered this name.
Jack said:
"I respect your choice. If you can't survive outside, you are always welcome back here."
"Jennifer doesn't want you to die. I'll give you something that might help you survive."
[Obtained Deceit Jack's eerie sequence, for specific sequence details, please go to the guide of Three Towers, and complete account registration.]
It seemed like he had obtained a kind of eerie ability.
Wen Xishu still didn't know what this ability was, but he thought of the initial description when he rolled the dice of madness.
He could use the abilities and rules of three different tower systems at the same time...
So, could this eerie sequence be used in Slaughter Tower or Desire Tower?
Wen Xishu's figure slowly receded from the old building.
At the moment he completely left the old building, Wen Xishu had completed the task, and a prompt came in his mind:
[You have completed Jack's fatal Deceit Building series task. Prepare to go to the guide of Three Towers for task rating and reward inquiry.]
He felt a slight pain on his wrist, and Wen Xishu noticed that the eerie black band-like login device seemed to be shrinking.
The world in his eyes also began to wobble slightly. The black numbers on the dial, originally zero, turned to one at this moment.
