On the twenty-first floor of the Desire Tower, Wen Xishu found Jack and helped Jack deal with the "Breakers" hidden in the dark.
Thus, the original task of rescuing Jennifer on the twenty-first floor of the Deceit Tower became escorting Jennifer.
It proved that altering the fate trajectory of characters in the Desire Tower could also change the overall outcome of the Deceit Tower.
Last time it was like this, and this time it was the same. The things Wen Xishu was originally confused about had answers the moment he touched the invitation.
[Due to the changes in the Desire Tower’s storyline, the sixth floor of the Deceit Tower "Lament of the Parrot" will be restarted.]
[All players currently participating in this mission (except those with invitations) will have their memory modules synchronized and modified.]
[Memory module modification in progress.]
[Initiating logic repair simulation for the Deceit Tower.]
[Simulation begins.]
[After that insanely crazy rainy night, the parrot was no longer a parrot. Its wings were strong and powerful, finally able to soar into the sky.]
[However, the wounds deep in its soul would never heal. The items hidden in the three rooms still awaited purification.]
[The foreordained betrayal and abandonment did not occur. Slaughter Tang Rui completed her ascension journey, and the fourth door disappeared completely.]
[In the region of Jiangcheng, Deceit Tang Rui constructed her own domain using the fear within her heart.]
[The end is near. All beings with the prefixes Deceit and Slaughter will delineate their respective territories and avoid contact with others of equal existence.]
[Anyone who trespasses into these territories will risk being killed.]
[Within Deceit Tang Rui’s domain, three items requiring purification are hidden. These puzzles can only be solved by certain individuals. She awaits the arrival of that person.]
[She left a gift for that person.]
[Today, you received a mission to enter that domain. This is destiny’s guidance, but only those with fate and wisdom may find a way out.]
Simulation ends.
The world in front of Wen Xishu began to collapse. This was a sign of imminent teleportation back to the Deceit Tower.
Many speculations swirled in his mind.
"So Tang Rui really forgave her parents in the near future, and as a result, suffered a great betrayal that sapped her vitality."
"This is also the fourth door. This betrayal made her more incomplete, turning her into a different kind of Slaughter Tang Rui from then on."
"Therefore, what I did stopped the fourth despair from arriving, and thus... the fourth door disappeared. No wonder, in the truth or dare game, Tang Rui said there wasn’t a fourth time. It turned out the fourth time hadn’t occurred yet. Of course, now it never will."
"Next, I just need to explore three scenarios. Hm, that last part about only those with fate and wisdom may find a way out of the domain..."
"Wise ones refer to those who can purely piece together the tower’s various clues to solve puzzles."
"And the one with fate... Wait, could the one with fate be me?"
His head began to spin wildly as everything in Wen Xishu’s vision disintegrated and then reassembled, with countless white lines constructing the scenes within the Deceit Tower.
When Wen Xishu no longer felt dizzy, he had returned to his original position. The familiar scenes and—familiar bullet comments came into view.
[I want revenge! I want revenge! I want revenge!]
Park Mi-hye still wore a heartbroken expression for Zheng Zai, and Zheng Zai was still pounding the ground in agony with his fists.
Wen Xishu’s consciousness finally returned from the Desire Tower to the Deceit Tower. Whether he was the person with fate or not wasn’t important.
What was important was that at this moment, he knew how to clear the Deceit Tower.
He took a deep breath:
"Zheng Zai, stop pounding the ground. Whatever you plan to do, you need to survive first."
He also judged Zheng Zai as a potential killer embryo.
If Zheng Zai were Deceit Zheng Zai, Wen Xishu would be very willing to analyze Zheng Zai’s father’s case to unbind the knots in Zheng Zai’s heart.
But unfortunately, Zheng Zai belonged to the Bunker, and everyone would return to the Bunker. There’s still a long way to go before running wild in the Bunker.
However, those things the higher-ups of the Bunker had done to him would certainly be settled.
From this standpoint, Zheng Zai was actually someone worth roping in.
However, Wen Xishu still needed to observe Zheng Zai further.
"I sympathize with what you’ve been through. I will bring you back alive. Now you need to get your emotions in check, understand?" Wen Xishu said kindly.
He had already switched to his other side, somewhat similar to Deceit Wen Xishu.
"But we... now only have three people. This house is too big. Either the house is magnified, or we are shrunken. In any case, it’s hard to find that contaminated item in such a large house, right?"
It was Park Mi-hye speaking.
Park Mi-hye wasn’t wrong. Finding each item one by one would make clearing very difficult because the Deceit Tower had an anti-afk mechanism.
Based on Wen Xishu’s analysis, this anti-afk mechanism would gradually shrink their activity range.
Wen Xishu said:
"The answer is actually very simple. I already know what the item to be purified is."
Park Mi-hye was shocked, and Zheng Zai also turned his head, looking at this boy several years younger than him with some reverence.
"You know what the item is, so you really... intentionally let Kane and Mendemuir..."
Park Mi-hye spoke aloud the conclusion she had already guessed.
Wen Xishu said:
"Yes, they were too evil. Everyone’s sins were severe. I didn’t cooperate with them."
"Before I solve the puzzle here, I need to ask you one thing. How many doors were there when we first came in?"
