"So, since we have met, there is no need to part ways. Why don’t I follow you, Senior, and learn how you handle various crises?"
Wen Xishu had his own little schemes.
Although he didn’t draw a trine, the basic set of the frenzied dice was still there. He just couldn’t use sequences and props, but he could still resort to violence.
No matter how charming Wenren Mirror was, appealing to both men and women, in this high-level world of the Desire Tower, being handsome was of no use.
Faced with those who wouldn’t cooperate without violence, you could only assist me from the side.
Of course, this was just a flavoring for Wen Xishu; he didn’t see Wenren Mirror as a competitor. He just thought certain situations would be joyfully interesting.
Wenren Mirror nodded:
"Alright, but it’s not you learning from me, it’s us learning from each other and helping each other. I believe that since you can frequently conquer the Deceit Tower, there must be many things that Xun Hui, the teacher, and I can all learn from you."
Wenren Mirror’s attitude made Wen Xishu a bit embarrassed.
The two quickly found a café and sat down.
Due to the lack of language barriers within the Three Towers, shortly after Wenren Mirror sat down, several girls came up to chat.
Sitting across from Wenren Mirror, Wen Xishu once again marveled at the terrifying allure of the Enchanting Demon.
Wenren Mirror handled such moments gracefully as he seemed familiar with some of Hujiang’s culture. He stood up amicably, explained a few things to the girls with an apologetic smile, and they instinctively dispersed.
But they didn’t leave; instead, they turned into a sort of protective guard for Wenren Mirror, sitting around and watching people come and go, preventing others from disturbing him.
"Did... did you use sequence power?" Wen Xishu found the scene ridiculous and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
Wenren Mirror shook his head:
"Not at all, they are just ordinary people, so there’s no need to use sequence power... though I cannot rule out that some of my sequences do enhance certain passive effects. Let’s talk business."
Wen Xishu truly hadn’t expected such an experience teaming up with an Enchanting Demon.
The charm of Wenren Mirror was immense, he had realized. In a few words... nearly taming a group of people. This was Wenren Mirror’s power in the Desire Tower.
Wen Xishu began to recount his experiences in the Deceit Tower.
After listening to Wen Xishu’s story, Wenren Mirror said:
"I understand. It seems... the curse started spreading from the 19th District to the 20th District. It is foreseeable that the number of human holes will increase, gradually not being confined to Human Hole Village, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded.
"Yes."
Wenren Mirror said:
"You came through an invitation... so you only have two days, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded again:
"Correct. Therefore, I might not be able to solve the source of the pain rules in the 20th District, I may need to address the issues in Human Hole Village first."
"I speculate that Morioka, the Immortal in Human Hole Village, is likely problematic. Now with the curse outbreak in Human Hole Village, and what I think is a misfortune backlash, with everyone becoming Human Holes... it might just be a matter of time."
After Wenren Mirror finished listening, he said again:
"Little Tree, that could be the case. Let me share my thoughts and you see if they are correct."
"In Human Hole Village, that little boy is likely Morioka’s secret weapon... the boy can extract misfortune from others."
"He first extracted Morioka’s misfortune, and then, upon witnessing the miracle, Morioka desired the same power, so the boy granted this wish."
"Morioka started fulfilling others’ desires as the boy did for him. He began in the 19th District, continuously granting people’s wishes and making them happy."
"However, the price was borne by the boy, and ultimately... that price could not be contained, it exploded, resulting in the formation of Human Hole Village."
Wen Xishu exclaimed:
"Exactly what I thought!"
Wenren Mirror’s expression turned serious:
"That child is very kind. If what we suspect is true, we cannot abandon him."
"The painful 20th District presumably also has a strange source, but since the two areas are merged, perhaps we could find the answer in the process of rescuing the boy."
"So Little Tree, we can join forces and head to the 19th District."
Wen Xishu had to admit, Wenren Mirror was quite different from all his previous teammates, making the interaction very pleasant.
"First solve the problems of the 19th District, then those of the 20th District." Wenren Mirror had already made up his mind.
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Alright, let’s do as you say, Senior."
The two quickly started taking action.
Wenren Mirror once again showed Wen Xishu... what it meant to have unparalleled charm, gaining entry everywhere.
Anyone who has been to Hujiang knows that the taxis there are notoriously expensive.
But Wenren Mirror chose this most expensive mode of travel directly and admitted calmly when alighting that he had no money.
The driver, a man in his mid-thirties, cheerfully declared:
"Such a good-looking passenger, no fare needed! But I’m sorry, I can’t take you further into the 19th District, life is tough."
Thus, the fee to reach the 19th District was waived.
Wen Xishu couldn’t help but ask:
"Have you been this good-looking since you were a child?"
"Not exactly... as a kid, I was just very likable. But after I turned nine, my father thought my looks would be very suitable for climbing towers in the future, so he started secretly training me in various skills and made me learn a lot of knowledge. My social interactions became fewer. As a child, I didn’t really have any friends," Wenren Mirror explained.
