"Hahahahaha, the first person in Deceit Tower should be like this."
Soon after, they witnessed a bizarre scene.
A straight red light shot down, Oyel successfully returned to the Bunker.
Oyel was also stunned; how could there be so many people with such powerful auras around him. When Oyel appeared and regained consciousness, he was still unclear about the identities of the Five Elders, the principal of the Three Towers Academy, and the first person on the ladder.
He just felt like a small cat surrounded by a group of tigers.
He started to explain desperately what had happened to him as a Bunker Person. When he mentioned Wen Xishu, he was immediately taken to the safe house by Albert.
Although Albert could only exert twenty-five percent of his power in the safe house, that was already terrifying enough.
Fortunately, even though Oyel feared that aura, everything went as Wen Xishu said; he was ultimately a person of courage.
He clearly explained the whole story.
When they learned that Wen Xishu was about to subdue the largest and most violent orange vortex, everyone in the safe house was moved.
Albert said:
"So, everything is going smoothly now, and you’re in the final stage?"
Oyel wanted to nod, but when he looked down, he saw that... the parchment in his hand started to decompose like decay.
So he said with a dead heart:
"It’s broken... it’s broken! Wen Xishu miscalculated! It’s over, why has this parchment become like this?"
These words shocked everyone.
The parchment in Oyel’s hand began to crumble like burnt blackened flakes, gradually... the parchment had completely turned into fragments.
He didn’t know what this meant.
He just regarded it as an extremely bad omen. He had previously said that as long as the person remained, the parchment would remain. Now... the parchment was gone.
Could it be that he himself would also be gone?
With the item entrusted to him out of trust by the boss, he didn’t keep it well... Thinking of this, Oyel’s face really turned ashen.
Everyone in the room was the same.
Most of them had experienced the white vortex and were currently taking a brief rest.
But at this moment, seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but worry about Wen Xishu.
Especially Albert. He had experienced the Great Devouring and lost many old friends in the process.
Some of them were those whom he thought could fight alongside him on more than ninety floors.
So he knew best that in the Great Devouring... anyone could die.
Seeing the parchment that Wen Xishu requested to be kept turn into wood chips, Albert’s smile froze on his face.
If Wen Xishu were here, he would see the crazy thought that surfaced in the old man’s mind—going to the orange vortex to launch a rescue.
Fortunately, at this moment, Evelyn, who had also experienced a lot and had been to the 91st floor of the Desire Tower, said:
"Based on what you said, Wen Xishu chose to duplicate... Could it be possible that Wen Xishu is actually fine, but some items have a uniqueness?"
Some things become confused when one is overly concerned.
Albert actually knew this as well, but he cared too much about Wen Xishu.
It was Evelyn, who never had excessive expectations of anyone, who thought of the key to the matter.
"No matter what, let’s wait and see. Those supposed to go to the white vortex, continue to clear the white vortex. We cannot stop our activities because of the death of one person," the old principal said.
He obviously looked much better.
Clearly, he believed Evelyn’s words more than he believed Wen Xishu was dead.
Of course, he felt his emotions changed so quickly because Evelyn might have used the power of the Desire Sequence in the special environment of the safe house.
But Albert was still very worried about Wen Xishu in his heart.
After all, that was an extremely brutal orange vortex.
...
...
Inside the vortex. Unknown area, cellar.
Wen Xishu was certainly not dead.
At this moment, he still didn’t know that because of the uniqueness of the item... the duplicate had replaced the original. And the original had decayed due to its uniqueness.
Wen Xishu was reading the complete story at this time.
[People realized that the witch’s power did not seem to fall on Bonnie, but on an item.]
[That item was the shoes.]
[For several centuries, people have yearned to possess the shoes, and people have also yearned to seal the shoes.]
[This is a long struggle, a struggle between human greed and a sense of duty, but unfortunately, each era has someone who puts on the shoes, ushering in an era of corruption with irresistible charm.]
[Over the centuries, the shoes have been possessed by pirates, the church, counts, emperors, empresses, and even Cinderella.]
[But no matter who, the final outcome did not seem to be very good. The last owner of the shoes was named Josie. Josie realized that once the shoes got dirty, she would be unfortunate.]
[She was originally ugly, but after putting on the shoes, she started to become beautiful. But as the shoes became dirty, she began to realize... the "spiritual power" of the shoes seemed to be weakening, and occasionally, she would appear in her original ugly form.]
[She did not believe that the ugly person was herself, even though she had always looked like that. She only believed in the mesmerizingly beautiful image of herself in the mirror, and to prevent the ugly self from appearing again, Josie started looking for various ways to make the shoes look new...]
[She tried many methods to no avail, but eventually, she found that human blood could cleanse the shoes.]
