It's certain that... in Jicheng, there are tasks on the seventh level, and there must be those on the seventieth level, and even higher.
Wen Xishu said:
"Clara, you've made a mistake. Next time, I hope you'll proactively contact the organization."
Clara responded in fear:
"But I... don't have the ability to contact you."
"As you know, I was just chosen, but so far, the organization hasn't told me more information."
"You're not being honest," Wen Xishu replied.
Clara shook her head madly:
"I swear, I dare not hide anything from you! I love the days here, even if I don't have a future, at least in this endless cycle, I can live comfortably."
"I can fool everyone, including those who will have significant missions in the future... I dare not hide anything from you, I don't want to be replaced."
It seems there's no more information to extract. That's fine, we have already harvested plenty today.
Wen Xishu nodded and sighed softly:
"I just told you, there's a 'player' who can use violence and does not follow the rules."
Clara acknowledged:
"Thank you very much for the reminder. Once I notice unfamiliar faces, I'll find a way to get rid of him!"
Wen Xishu said:
"I need to remind you of something, Clara."
Clara asked:
"What?"
Ethan's face revealed a strange smile:
"Not necessarily unfamiliar faces, familiar ones can also be."
Suddenly, Wen Xishu acted.
He possessed the Three-phase Power and, with his swift and decisive move, Clara couldn't react before Wen Xishu grabbed her neck with one hand.
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Those who deceive others naturally should also accept the fate of being deceived by others, isn't that right?"
"What... what are you doing?" Clara widened her eyes, struggling to breathe as Wen Xishu held her neck.
Wen Xishu did not speak, but quickly, Clara realized what was going on:
"You... you are that person!"
"Correct! But no reward."
Wen Xishu stopped tormenting his opponent, simply watched Clara's expression, terrified to the extreme, and then twisted her neck.
This person who toyed with several assassins, fooled the investigation bureau, and even mocked the Destructive among the Ark generals, died at the hands of Wen Xishu without any resistance.
This time, Wen Xishu was without a fixed assignment, and the task did not require anyone to be made happy.
Therefore, he could even bring misfortune.
After resolving the Destructive, and preventing the fate of several assassins originally meant to be captured by the investigation bureau.
Wen Xishu did not remain in De City for long.
Before activating the login device, Wen Xishu checked the dossier of the person he killed—the power brought by the Scorpion Knife, which allows him to view the target's dossier after killing them.
Cain, Zoe, Clara, Wen Xishu doesn't care about the first two because he already has obtained enough information through the power of the sovereign of the Netherworld.
But with Clara, Wen Xishu still decided to take a look to avoid missing any information.
"New member of the Pisces Association, knows some things about the Pisces Association, but only surface-level knowledge, judged not to be crazy enough due to her unaffected style."
There's almost no useful information, only a mention of "Pisces Association," which seems to lock in the relationship between Pisces and Destructive.
But whether there are other twists inside is still unknown.
Then there are some details, what height, weight, measurements, favorite food, etc. These pieces of information are somewhat frustrating, after all... the person has been killed, is knowing their favorite food necessary?
After learning all this, Wen Xishu finally activated the login device.
Perhaps due to excessive freedom, this time Wen Xishu did not receive any indication of changes in constellation favorability.
Shortly thereafter, he returned to the familiar scene and acquired something extremely important.
...
Land of Reception.
Upon hearing the exaggerated laughter of the guide, the black Deceitful Head, Wen Xishu immediately checked his panel.
[Slaughter Tower Level: 18. Slaughter Value Cap: 200.]
[Deceit Tower Level: 47. Anti-Magic Value: 105 points.]
[Desire Tower Level: 43. Luck Value: 93 points.]
Other attributes had almost no change, but the Deceit Tower level rose by four levels. The Anti-Magic Value also broke through 100.
The Tower Power Value remained unchanged, as did the sequence slot.
However, corresponding to this, the Deceit Tower's attainment allowed Wen Xishu to possess a special sequence—Duel.
This is the new sequence Wen Xishu acquired.
Three Tower Sequence 49: Fated Duel.
This was the most important thing Wen Xishu achieved in this exploration of the Deceit Tower, achieving the Deceit Tower's perfect ending.
The sequence itself is not strong, it's just a rule-based sequence, but the sequence affected Wen Xishu's subsequent decisions.
When Wen Xishu saw the description of "Fated Duel," he immediately thought of a feasibility.
The description of Fated Duel is as follows:
"Sequence Description: Although you are obscure, you have the courage to challenge the gods, so go forth, duel them, an exhilarating and reckless battle."
"Sequence Effect: Once you accurately capture the opponent's aura, you can summon the opponent to your side and initiate a duel. Duration is ten minutes, within which the opponent cannot leave the battlefield and must respond. Each target can be summoned once, and the initiation interval for Fated Duel depends on the target's strength."
Plain and uninspiring.
It seems to hold no significance.
It looks like something satisfying the killers' desire to defeat the Savior, with this, it seems the killers can duel the Saviors in a Fated Duel.
But the summoning for Fated Duel has conditions; it requires sensing the opponent's aura.
This sequence does not bring any combat ability enhancement to Wen Xishu.
Yet he immediately recognized the terror of this sequence.
"It can forcibly summon enemies to one's side... including Sagittarius?"
Wen Xishu fears Sagittarius, but Sagittarius is not the strongest among the constellations, Sagittarius' power lies in his ability to ignore spatial differences and traverse dimensions to snipe enemies.
But if Sagittarius is right next to oneself, and nearby... there's a powerful ally?
"Looks like you really like this sequence, slash slash slash slash slash." The black Deceitful Head laughed again.
"But don't hurry, besides the regular Level 6 reward, there's a facility you can obtain. This facility is called the Modification Room. Simply put, it's a prison."
"In this prison, if inmates don't comply with the warden's management, their necks will explode, isn't that fun?"
"Of course, as a Level 6 facility, the prison comes with a bizarre effect where those who come to the prison are particularly prone to confession."
The black Deceitful Head continued talking, but Wen Xishu was not particularly interested in such small rewards.
At this moment, Wen Xishu's mind was filled with a single thought, leveraging this Three Tower Sequence to initiate a duel among top-tier powers:
"If it's the current principal, with Sagittarius losing his distance advantage... could he defeat Sagittarius?"
Of course, this matter must first be discussed with the principal no matter what.
