But unfortunately, deep down, he didn’t agree with John.
"But the key to this game isn’t really about John, it’s about Scorpio. John is indeed pure, and people like him are easily guided or used."
"But the real challenge is whether I can persuade Scorpio. And whether I have the qualifications to discuss philosophy with him."
"I need to find a way to get Scorpio... to recognize me."
At this moment, Scorpio responded:
"Of course, brother, if you agree with me, then we are on the same path, aren’t we? Especially since you have also received the approval of the knife."
"I like making friends and collecting dogs. I have plenty of dogs, but not many friends."
"My brothers and sisters have different abilities, and they are very dangerous. The more friends you have, the more options you have, right, brother?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Let’s play a game."
Playing a game was something that Scorpio couldn’t refuse. Scorpio’s eyes lit up immediately:
"What kind of game?"
Wen Xishu remained calm: "I agree with what you said. I believe that someone like John is pure in the game. I also know that he despises those who ruin the purity of the game. But let’s play a game where you act as the defender, and I act as the attacker."
Scorpio found it interesting:
"How do we defend and how do we attack?"
"It depends on whether you can achieve this, using John’s heart as the battlefield. Let’s verify if someone as pure as John has really stopped struggling and accepted his own theory. I will shake him, and you will solidify him."
Wen Xishu paused slightly, with a provocative posture:
"As a god, are you not afraid of me?"
Scorpio grinned, smiling happily:
"Brother, I like everyone who plays games with me. So, let’s read the save file. Let’s go to cg15. I’ll give you a chance to change John."
But Scorpio’s smile suddenly disappeared:
"But brother, playing games with me always comes at a price. If you lose, then the Compass in your hand will be mine."
Wen Xishu was stunned, not expecting his pseudo-fate Compass to be targeted.
Wen Xishu hesitated... If he failed, would this bet change history to some extent?
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:
"You could just take it by force."
Scorpio shook his head:
"Brother, I said, I’m not your enemy. We haven’t held grudges against each other yet. If I want to take your things, I will use what I consider the kindest way."
"Do you want to continue playing this game with me?"
Wen Xishu no longer hesitated:
"Alright, let’s start."
Scorpio smiled again and snapped his fingers:
"Brother, you’re great!"
...
...
cg15.
The appearance of the miracle made John realize that his life seemed to have taken a magical turn.
The god of the game had descended. He would, like himself, punish all those who made the game impure.
The purest game in his heart would manifest in reality. The most authentic game in this world was about to be born.
Doomsday was approaching, and everyone would become part of the game. No one could interfere with his game anymore.
But Catherine’s appearance, that sincere apology and pleading, made John hesitate. John ultimately compromised and gave Catherine a safe coordinate, an expression of his love for her.
At this moment, Scorpio appeared before John with that "future document," strengthening John’s belief in these people’s distorted actions in the game.
It was at this moment that John made his final decision. He would become the pure defender of the game.
The story seemed to be set in stone here.
But now, under Scorpio’s miraculous power, the game reset.
And this time, unlike before, Wen Xishu appeared before John.
"Can I sit next to you, John?"
"Who are you?"
"Someone like you, who once looked forward to ’Doomsday.’ No, I need to rephrase that accurately, someone who once looked forward to ’Doomsday.’"
At this time, Scorpio was also beside John. Scorpio was very curious about what Wen Xishu would do.
When John heard "Doomsday," his first reaction was the game "Doomsday," not the actual apocalypse.
Wen Xishu knew that to move John, he had to reveal something Scorpio didn’t know.
The only thing Scorpio didn’t know was the timeline.
"The first mission, you taught me to be ruthless in the doomsday game. When faced with the pleas of a mother and daughter, I didn’t accept their mission. I chose to reunite their family in death. I looted, I killed, but I knew it was the right thing to do."
John was stunned.
This indeed was content from "Doomsday," but it had been vetoed by his old mentor, who was now the game’s planner for "Doomsday."
The reason was that it would corrupt the children and wouldn’t pass the review. The only ones who knew about this mission were the development team members.
"The second mission, I found supplies in the home of Duan Donghuo, your neighbor from an Eastern country, right here. I successfully used Duan Donghuo’s weakness for women, feigning weakness myself, to lure him to the pavilion. While he was distracted, I killed him."
"At that time, I thought, ’This game’s tone is really dark. Does the game producer really want to bring joy to the players?’"
John was no longer stunned but looked at Wen Xishu in shock. Because this was John’s internal monologue...
