Wenren Mirror didn’t understand:
"Little Tree, it’s best not to underestimate high-level Desire Towers."
"First of all, once the level goes up within the Desire Tower, it’s not unlikely to encounter some individuals with extremely powerful abilities."
"Secondly, the Collapsers might also awaken certain traits. Moreover, since Morioka Immortal is an absolute fortunate being, if we want to punish him, in a certain sense, we become his disaster and misfortune, but with Morioka Hitomi around... will Morioka really become unfortunate?"
Wen Xishu had to admit, senior Wenren Mirror’s analysis was very reasonable. If it were anyone else, it wouldn’t matter, but Morioka is definitely special...
Heaven knows, how many layers of protection he would stack on himself using Morioka Hitomi?
These questions certainly need to be thought through carefully.
However, since the topic had shifted, Wen Xishu didn’t mention that he could use violence. It wasn’t that he minded.
When against the Priest, summoned by Jessica, Wenren Mirror’s reaction already said a lot.
Given that Wenren Mirror is a man, otherwise, Wen Xishu might even call him sister-in-law.
It was during the confrontation with the Priest in the small town that Wen Xishu truly realized that Wenren Mirror had always believed in Wen Chaohua.
Things like the most vicious criminals in the Bunker, or crimes of human extinction... Wenren Mirror didn’t care at all. From this perspective, Wenren Mirror is quite insane.
He’s a complete... hypocrite. To a trusted friend, no matter if they commit crimes as serious as destroying the world, he would think—did this world treat his friend unfairly.
A person like this is naturally worthy of trust.
"Senior, tell me, up until now, which versions of Collapsers have you encountered at over sixty floors?" Wen Xishu asked.
Wenren Mirror could tell, Wen Xishu was planning to clash head-on with the Collapsers? To kill them directly?
"Did you... really listen to what I said?"
Seeing Wen Xishu still maintaining the same smile, Wenren Mirror sighed:
"With regards to levels, starting from the fiftieth floor, some Collapsers would awaken certain mutated powers from the desire sequence."
"At sixty floors, it often involves some rune effects being implanted, though these people are few. Even at the sixty-fifth floor, I frequently encounter some Collapsers with no powers at all."
Wen Xishu noticed the key point—
"So, the traits awakened by the Collapsers are mostly related to the mental aspect?"
Wenren Mirror nodded:
"Yes. What Collapsers awaken are often powers from the desire sequence. Some Collapsers can even see future changes, and these Collapsers are the most troublesome."
"Generally speaking, I always assume Collapsers are very powerful and hard to confront, so I avoid direct combat."
Wen Xishu smiled:
"That’s great, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to fight them but now I’m confident."
"Senior. Let’s find Xiaoxing first, no... let’s solve the Collapsers. Collapsers possess looped memories, which should provide a lot of information." Wen Xishu said.
He spoke with such certainty that Wenren Mirror grew more curious:
"As long as we find the Collapser, you can handle them? Are you that confident?"
"Yes. As long as I find them, I can take care of them." Wen Xishu stated straightforwardly.
His tone was so unquestionable that Wenren Mirror began to ponder what kind of trump cards Wen Xishu had.
"I want to save these two children, Little Tree, we shouldn’t overestimate ourselves. But I believe, for you to have survived the Deceit Tower, with such confidence, surely there’s a reason."
"I’ll follow your lead then, tell me how I can help."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Senior just needs to ensure the Collapser’s special means don’t affect me."
Wenren Mirror then asked:
"How do you plan to find this person? You should know, Collapsers are extremely sensitive to environmental changes outside, it’s likely that seeing a stranger would make them believe... something has changed."
Wen Xishu took out the Compass.
Wenren Mirror looked at the Compass and sighed:
"I forgot, you have many tools."
Wenren Mirror was somewhat convinced. Indeed, although Wen Xishu’s desire sequence wasn’t as extensive, the means he had to navigate the Desire Tower were certainly not fewer.
It’s as if, while others are still reading quests and searching for quest locations based on descriptions... Wen Xishu can use the auto-navigation feature.
No need for investigation, no need for thinking, just follow the tools.
Heaven knows, how many more convenient items does this kid have? Moreover, seeing how confident he was in resolving Collapsers just by finding them...
It seemed there were even bigger trump cards.
This was what caught Wenren Mirror’s interest the most, because in the past, to resolve Collapsers, he would often spend extended periods, even after finding them.
"I’m starting to feel curious... how long will it take for you to change the fate of these two children with the Compass and the invitation letter?"
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"What can be confirmed is—less than forty-eight hours."

Hujiang, District 20.
April was approaching. Xiaoxing didn’t like April.
Because the first day of April is April Fools’ Day. It’s a day she detested deeply.
At the start of April, all lies seem reasonable. Cotton floating in the air is not wrung out, even the weather forecast becomes a vague riddle, love letters in the back rows of the classroom never get a signature, even the magnolia downstairs deceives, saying it will bloom again when it hasn’t fully shed.
She was really afraid, April represented a bad metaphor for her life. All hopes get reasonably duped on April first.
