This sentence was passed verbatim to Park Mi-hye.
Park Mi-hye was shocked:
[He can also hear my heart’s voice? What voting mechanism?]
Zheng Zai: [Younger Brother Wen can also hear Park Mi-hye’s heart voice? I can hear it anyway... What the hell is this voting mechanism?]
Wen Xishu had already thoroughly figured out the logic.
The three people back-to-back effect, allows one to hear each other’s heart voices. The heart voice transmission pattern——
Wen Xishu’s heart voice went to Park Mi-hye, Park Mi-hye’s to Zheng Zai, and Zheng Zai’s back to Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu said: [Zheng Zai is indeed a trustworthy partner, Park Mi-hye.]
Park Mi-hye paused for a moment:
[Why is he telling me this? Does he truly believe in Zheng Zai? As expected, a monster, actually trusting that pervert, wait, I shouldn’t think like this.]
[He will hear my voice!]
These words were transmitted to Zheng Zai.
Zheng Zai’s expression turned grim:
[I don’t want to eat people, I really don’t! Mentally, I’m not a monster! I’ve already put an iron mask on myself!]
Zheng Zai’s words were transmitted to Wen Xishu. Wen Xishu said:
[Park Mi-hye, do you think there’s something suspicious about Zheng Zai’s father’s case?]
Park Mi-hye tried to hide her inner thoughts, but it was a technical skill, suddenly making oneself not think of certain things just made her think about them more.
[Why does he care so much about Zheng Zai? I don’t know much about his father’s case, what is he scheming? Is this what you should be thinking about now? Just get us out of here!
[And quickly explain, what is the voting mechanism!]
Zheng Zai felt a bit touched upon hearing this:
[Younger Brother Wen... he truly wants to help me! And this woman, I always thought she was pitiful.]
[Turns out she only sees Younger Brother Wen as a tool? Although I don’t know what the voting mechanism is either, if I could speak, I would definitely not let Younger Brother Wen tell you!]
Wen Xishu was now in an extremely focused state:
[Voting mechanism? Park Mi-hye, are you concerned about this? I’ll tell you then.]
[Simply put, after the heart voice exposure phase is over, if we have no barriers or grudges against each other, we might have a short time to move around. To find items that need purification.]
[But regardless, I guess there will be a phase to make a decision based on our mental activities just now.]
[What do you think that decision is? Park Mi-hye, let me ask you a question, after you return to the Bunker, which officer are you planning to report me to?]
Park Mi-hye paused and subconsciously fell into the trap.
If Wen Xishu had asked if she would report, Park Mi-hye probably wouldn’t have thought of her superior in her mind.
But Wen Xishu asked, which officer would you report me to. The first person Park Mi-hye thought of was, who else could it be? There’s only...
But as she realized she couldn’t think of that person, the person’s name had already converted into her heart’s voice.
[Damn it, this woman actually wants to report Younger Brother Wen? As expected, she’s also a lapdog of the Bunker!] Zheng Zai was immediately filled with anger.
Wen Xishu said:
[One must learn to precisely control their thoughts, Park Mi-hye. The game is almost over, I actually gave you many chances... If you had been a little smarter or more sincere, you could have seized the opportunity.]
The game was indeed about to end.
The time was two minutes.
In just two minutes of being back-to-back, Wen Xishu had already understood Zheng Zai and Park Mi-hye completely.
This was a confession game.
The brilliance of this confession game lay in presenting it as a rock-paper-scissors dynamic.
Wen Xishu was the first to understand this and the first to utilize this transmission mechanism.
Only relying on heart voices was, of course, not enough to kill someone.
This was Deceit Tower, every phase could result in death, and Wen Xishu had already guessed that there would be a phase after hearing the heart voices to make a final decision.
He was very right.
At this moment, the prompt had already appeared.
[After entrusting your back to each other, you must have found someone truly trustworthy. May your friendship last forever.]
[Please silently recite the name of the person you trust. Each person can recite several names, but you cannot say your own name.]
[If your name does not appear in anyone’s heart, you will be eliminated.]
As soon as this prompt appeared, some were delighted, others were in despair. At this moment, the three regained their ability to move.
Wen Xishu had guessed there would be such a phase the moment he heard the heart voices.
This was the so-called scoring phase.
In fact, he really didn’t trust Zheng Zai and Park Mi-hye, but he wasn’t bogged down by this. Some things, if not put on the scale, only weigh four ounces.
Once on the scale, even a thousand pounds couldn’t measure it.
If one overthought about trust, it would ultimately lead to no one being able to trust anyone.
When the other party heard the question "Is he trustworthy?", they might harbor equal suspicion.
At this time, one should shift their attention to other things.
Park Mi-hye knelt down:
"Say my name! Give me another chance! Give me another chance! I trust you, I am trustworthy!"
She finally realized that her death was not due to a lack of honesty, but rather due to a lack of honesty... and stupidity.
Knowing that heart voices could be transmitted, she should have immediately shifted her attention to thinking about other things!
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"It’s too late, the voting has ended."
The sound of squirming flesh came, Park Mi-hye’s eyes filled with blood, and her face turned bright red from suffocation.
With a snap, she could no longer speak because a huge fleshy spike grew out of her back.
She had now become a literal "backstabber".
Wen Xishu didn’t look back, he said:
"Zheng Zai, thank you for your trust. We can go back to the Bunker now, congratulations on surviving the Deceit Tower."
Park Mi-hye died just like that, the fleshy spike on her back like a blade that pierced through her.
Zheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately:
"No... don’t say that, thank you too. I believe she didn’t say our names, if you hadn’t said my name either, I would have died in the final phase, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, if I hadn’t said your name, and you hadn’t said mine, we’d all be dead."
"This game judges whether a person is trustworthy based on heart voices and simultaneously... entrusts the power of life and death to others."
"Grudges are mutual. If you don’t give others the chance to survive, they might do the same to you."
Zheng Zai sighed:
"Luckily... luckily we are teammates, and she didn’t get the chance to harm you."
At this moment, Wen Xishu had already climbed a desk. The items in this scene were oversized, but Wen Xishu was an adept free-runner, scaling a tower was nothing to him.
He found the item that needed purification, a photo. Tang Rui had mentioned this graduation photo, it was placed on her desk.
He touched the photo and decisively purified the item.
Zheng Zai had some worries initially, but with the prompt in his mind, he felt completely relieved.
[Congratulations, you have survived the Parrot’s Sorrow trial and participated in all phases. You are about to return to the guide to receive your mission rating and rewards.]
This was the prompt in Zheng Zai’s mind. Zheng Zai heaved a sigh of relief, feeling suddenly exhausted.
Although this tower climb was smooth, he knew several phases were very perilous. All thanks to Wen Xishu.
He decided that when he returned to the Bunker, he would find a way to meet Wen Xishu and express his gratitude. If he got any materials and rewards this time, he was willing to give them to Wen Xishu.
