From the tone in which someone speaks of their crimes, you can gauge their level of depravity.
Those who are indifferent, with a warning tone, are often not too heinous; they might just want to show they are not to be messed with.
But this Brother Ah San called Sita, who can laugh while recounting his crimes, must think his deeds are trivial.
Of course, doing such things to animals, in the jest of many netizens, is seen as a racial trait. Whether it’s an atrocity is questionable.
Next, the one who first dealt with Wen Xishu, Kane, is truly a beast.
"Hahahaha, why don’t we choose the team leader based on the severity of our crimes? I’m a death row inmate, but I think my crime is the smallest. The judges of the fourth floor really don’t understand the law."
No one else spoke.
Wen Xishu also wanted to know the past of this soon-to-be teammate.
Kane was a tall, slightly handsome white man. It wasn’t unusual to find quite a few white people at the lower levels either.
Kane was quite sunny. If you only saw his smile and first impression without delving deeper, you wouldn’t feel insulted by the term.
"I just like to give women a home... and then let them leave this painful world. What’s wrong with that?"
"You know, many women at the lower levels fantasize about finding a strong man who can elevate their status from the Slaughter Tower."
"I am that kind of person, hahahaha. I have thirteen wives, none of them legally registered. I gave them fantasies, and in the end, I took them out of the Bunker."
"When they were alive, they were worthless at the lower level, but in death, they were treasures. It’s said that a Level 5 hospital performing organ transplants can reduce risks and increase compatibility."
Kane’s smile was like that of a sunny, big boy. He didn’t continue his story.
But Wen Xishu already understood what this man did.
His expression remained calm.
Wen Xishu had his own way of dealing with scum.
But one thing made Wen Xishu think deeply.
A Level 5 hospital had certain capabilities, making organ transplants easier. This should have been a good thing, but it also bred some industries.
Kane’s behavior was despicable. But without a market, he wouldn’t choose to engage in such a profession.
The auxiliary function of a Level 5 facility could give rise to an evil industry.
What about a Level 6 facility?
This world is indeed full of uncertainties. As people receive salvation, they might also encounter new devils.
The devil never worries about extinction.
"What about you, Mister Wen Xishu? You’re so young to be captured here, and you look decent. Even Desire Tower would have accepted you. You must have committed quite a crime."
Wen Xishu said:
"Oh, not really. I just had a bit of a mental issue, but I don’t think so. I am a mentally sound person. It was the doctor’s fault."
"Don’t look at how my whole family is gone, with only me surviving, but they didn’t die because of me. I don’t think so. Ah, my memory isn’t good, can’t remember. But that’s not important."
After Wen Xishu finished speaking, he gave a Jack-like smile.
At this, Kane immediately felt the pressure.
Wen Xishu didn’t lie, but the vibe he created was of someone who had eliminated their entire family and didn’t think anything was wrong with it.
This indeed sent chills down the spines of the others.
Sure enough, the way people around looked at Wen Xishu changed. Even Brother Ah San Sita instinctively stepped back a bit.
Wen Xishu then looked at another teammate, who had notable Middle Eastern features.
"I... my name is Mendemuir. I have no crime, really no crime. It’s just my wife... no, my ex-wife... accused me of domestic violence, but I didn’t!"
"I really didn’t. I already left home with nothing, and I even took on her debts... I have nothing left and could only come to Deceit Tower to try my luck."
Also because of a woman, but clearly, Mendemuir and Kane were worlds apart.
Kane put his arm around Mendemuir’s shoulder and said:
"Brother, you look like a rookie. Don’t be afraid. If we get out of here alive, I’ll teach you how to deal with your ex-wife. I’m sure she’s worth... oh no, I mean, she’s definitely a good girl."
Sita seemed angry. Why did this wimp have a woman? And why did someone like him, who dared to cross species, not have one?
Sita looked at the women in the team. One of them had thick lips, which detracted from her beauty, but her other features were delicate.
Wen Xishu’s first reaction was that this woman was a spy.
Yes, from his observations, most surrounding women were disheveled and fierce-looking, but this one looked like a Desire Tower Academy senior.
Except for the thick lips that Wen Xishu didn’t appreciate, everything else matched the aesthetic of most Asian men. Of course, some people like the sausage lips style.
The look Sita gave the woman seemed like he wanted to devour her.
But the woman also had a dangerous aura that made Sita hesitant to approach. A good-looking woman coming to Deceit Tower was suspicious in itself.
That’s why Wen Xishu thought this woman was a spy.
The woman spoke in a cool and distant tone:
"My name is Park Mi-hye. I am also an offender, charged with sexual bribery and extortion of officials."
Wen Xishu became a bit interested:
"Oh? Such a crime to be sent to Deceit Tower?"
Park Mi-hye said:
"It depends on who you bribe. I used to hang around Desire Tower; this isn’t my first time in the Three Towers. But I’m not content to live below the sixth floor of the Bunker. I want to climb higher."
This statement strangely reminded Wen Xishu of a girl in the library.
Desire Tower Academy had many such girls who wanted to climb up using their looks. There were countless examples.
Their final outcomes were rarely good.
Park Mi-hye was an example.
"My appearance pleases many. I am willing to do certain things to please those men, even women, or people of unknown gender."
"I would carefully record each event... thinking, as long as I had the footage, I could use it to blackmail married scumbags one day."
"In the end, I failed. I thought I could let loose and play wild. But those at the top are even more perverse."
"When they heard I intended to use the videos to blackmail them, they sent someone to find me and took me to one of their parties."
"That party had no front door, it was accessed through the basement of a celebrity’s house... there, I saw many high-ranking members of various organizations."
"It was then I realized how utterly debauched those at the top were. The tapes I had were useless for blackmail. They even... played them with great interest as entertainment."
"In the end, I lost everything."
Wen Xishu nodded. On the surface, he accepted the explanation but thought inwardly:
"She seems a bit too forthcoming, eager to prove the legitimacy of her beautiful appearance in being here."
Wen Xishu’s suspicion of Park Mi-hye didn’t diminish but grew deeper.
Everyone’s gaze quickly landed on the last prisoner.
Unlike the others, this prisoner had their mouth—locked with an iron muzzle.
