Do the twelve Zodiac signs know about this?
Unfortunately, this is just a mystical parchment (above), although it also contains some patterns, these patterns may hide the secret to kill "Shoe".
But these patterns are only half depicted; Wen Xishu can’t possibly find the complete "ritual" just through half of the patterns.
He was merely struck by the mention of the tower in this story.
And when it comes to the tower, he always thinks of the particularly rare "Tower Power Value" and the Three Towers.
Additionally, Wen Xishu still remembers the scene of the twelfth level in the Phoenix Psychiatric Museum... it is remarkably medieval.
A strange little town, a church halfway up the mountain...
As if it would fit the style if a Witch Pope appeared there.
These speculations made Wen Xishu excited. The Shoe Woman’s fear of opening that jar suggested that the complete parchment indeed held something that terrified her.
It’s worth mentioning that the mystical parchment did more than just provide some information.
It also had a kind of power.
Many items within the jar had effects once taken out of it. And so did the parchment.
[Half a sequence - you need to find the other half of the parchment to obtain the complete sequence; they won’t be too far apart.]
Interesting.
Though Wen Xishu didn’t know what this half sequence was, he felt it must be important.
"It seems, I need to find the lower half of the parchment. ’They won’t be too far apart’... Is this a hint? Perhaps it’s the key to finding the remaining half of the parchment..."
The opening of jars continued.
Ling Fu’s group encountered no significant danger next. Despite opening two shadow jars, Bao Longtao became very generous after Oyel’s ten consecutive openings.
The rest were mostly empty jars, and there was a pen whose function no one could identify, so they left it on the ground, waiting for Wen Xishu to appraise it.
In short, after Oceania moved twenty jars, everything returned to normal. The number of empty jars and tools increased, so far...
Except for that left eye, no one had opened anything belonging to the Shoe Woman.
The Shoe Woman’s powers had not upgraded either.
One could say that humanity’s side was quite lucky.
So far, Wen Xishu had opened four jars, Ling Fu’s team, Lang Haidu’s team, opened thirty jars.
Next was Ling Chen’s team of the elderly, weak, and sickly.
Ling Fu noticed that Wen Xishu’s attention seemed elsewhere, so he became exceptionally attentive.
By now, he no longer doubted Wen Xishu’s abilities.
On the contrary, seeing Wen Xishu divert his attention made Ling Fu wonder if there was something more important than watching people open jars.
There really was.
Wen Xishu now wanted to do one thing... and that was to create distance. To distance one jar from another.
Wen Xishu’s thought was - if the literal clue is that they won’t be too far apart, then if I attempt to distance them, will the other jar react?
After all, this place is vast, the cellar initially gave everyone a sense of enormity.
Wen Xishu now felt that the jar opening game had several endings. Different endings indicating different degrees of completion.
You could survive, without unsealing or killing anyone. A mediocre ending.
You could escape, after all, there is a tool key.
Or you could kill the Shoe Woman, uncovering the cause and effect.
But the best outcome is undoubtedly completing the task early, so is it possible to kill the Shoe Woman prematurely?
It was possible.
That is, uncovering the complete secret or finding the invitation.
But whether the Great Devouring had an invitation is still uncertain.
So Wen Xishu’s thought was to first find the remaining half of the parchment.
However, Wen Xishu didn’t entirely neglect the jar openings.
After Ling Fu’s team, it was Ling Chen leading the elderly, weak, and sickly squad.
With Oyel’s ten courageous consecutive openings, defying fate, the old, weak, and sickly squad also realized that it was the right time to open jars.
This certainly was a good thing, but the small incident that followed... No, to be precise, it was a huge upheaval that made everyone start feeling fear.
So far, a pile of jars containing "dirty things" had been guarded by the three of Xiaojin.
With fewer dirty things, naturally, the chances of opening good things or safely opening jars increased significantly.
Right now, people had won a great victory, not realizing the impending danger.
Having opened thirty-four jars, there were twenty-six remaining.
Oceania indeed found many parts, but not all of the Shoe Woman’s organs.
To be precise, there was one of her organs that didn’t need to appear too early.
But that organ still appeared.
The thirty-ninth jar, with twenty-one jars left to the end of the day...
The unexpected happened.
The person opening the jar, named Flamenco, was a disabled person missing a leg, who thought he would surely open something good.
But as the jar was tossed, a bloody ear appeared in front of him.
The pieces of information Wen Xishu had, included one that Ayoovic risked his life to deliver—The Shoe Woman’s mouth could create massive hallucinations. It was likely among the twenty jars.
And another piece from Ayoovic—The Shoe Woman’s hand could transfer the items within the jars.
But it was not specified whether it was the left hand or the right hand, or if both hands had the same function.
The Shoe Woman’s left eye triggered camouflage, causing the person opening the jar to become blind.
