Chapter 143: Passionate Ten-Jar Opening

~31 min read 6,132 words

Although in essence, Wen Xishu used his finger to avoid risks, Wen Xishu felt that the fact that the divine guard wanted to kill him just now meant...

The Shoe Girl in the jar has perception of the outside world.

It might not know yet which jars have the most important things for it.

But it knows what humans are doing right now.

So those who contribute the most will likely become a thorn in the Shoe Girl's side.

His performance of fighting the divine guard just now was probably unbelievable even to the Shoe Girl.

So if the Shoe Girl still has means, she probably won't use weak means to greet him, but will greet others.

Therefore, protecting Amiao is very necessary.

Although Amiao is also learning fighting, compared to Wang Yueyun and others, the gap in aptitude is still too large.

Thirty jars were finally opened without any danger.

Excluding those who have already died or turned into divine servants or divine guards...

The current result is—

Ling Chen opened a key that can leave the battlefield at any time. It has already been given to Ling Fu.

Bao Longtao opened a hammer that can interrupt the spellcasting of evil things. Not yet transferred.

Wen Xishu opened the God-Slayer Finger, which can judge whether there are shoe items in the jar.

Amiao opened soil, which can copy an item, even a partial shoe item, and the copied item does not have the problem of camp betrayal.

Mike, from Lang Haidu's squad, opened a food menu. Can exchange for food of different flavors.

As of now, the two items of Wen Xishu and Bao Longtao have already guaranteed the safety of the first few jars tomorrow...

But Bao Longtao might not agree to use them. Wen Xishu also saw that everyone has their own little thoughts.

The current result is actually not very optimistic. The number of dead people is actually higher than the number of items obtained.

Except for Amiao's soil, which can be confirmed to play a major role later...

Actually, there are no decisive items that can change the outcome between the human camp and the Shoe Girl camp.

"But at least tonight, we can enjoy a sumptuous dinner before sleeping..."

Wen Xishu noticed that there was still one hour and seven minutes until the library bell rang.

So next, after the jar opening ended, everyone could enjoy a short night of peace.

Everyone came to the dining hall, entering in an orderly manner under arrangement, and everyone had something to eat.

Everything was as Wen Xishu guessed. After opening all the jars...

The food problem was solved.

I have to say, the food in the cellar is delicious.

Perhaps it's because everyone was hungry.

At this time, Jin Shan, Wang Yueyun, and Nisen were sitting together, with Lang Haidu next to them.

Lang Haidu is a merchant, and merchants like to make connections upward.

He also witnessed that although these three didn't have Slaughter Tower panels, the strength they exerted and the physical aptitude they displayed were of top-tier standard.

So he started to build relationships with the three in various ways.

Ling Fu sat with Wen Xishu, chatting about the murals.

"I looked at the mural. After the number turned to 0, that person stopped holding the sign. Interestingly, there is one less worshiper in the mural, and those guards protecting the goddess... no, the Shoe Girl's safety, are also one less."

Ling Fu's observation ability made Wen Xishu feel a bit surprised. Ling Fu continued:

"So, is it possible that the mural tells us... the quantity of each item?"

"Although we can't judge how many fragments the skirt and sash were divided into... but based on the number of people around, maybe we can judge it?"

Ling Fu gave his own suggestion.

Unlike Lang Haidu's kind of connection, Ling Fu believed that people like Wen Xishu value your personal ability more. He needed to show a part of his ability to let Wen Xishu recognize him.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Looking at it this way, you already have the answer?"

Ling Fu nodded:

"Among the thousands of jars, there are thirty jars that can turn people into divine guards. There are two hundred jars that can turn people into divine servants."

"Some parts of the Shoe Girl shouldn't be able to exist in multiple copies. Ten fingers, it's not like one finger has to be divided into several parts... after all, there are empty jars, so there's no reason to divide them into so many parts. What do you think?"

Wen Xishu said:

"You seem to be better at observing than your brother. According to the introduction earlier, your brother is in economics?"

Ling Fu laughed:

"Yes, my brother is more sensitive to numbers and is good at calculating."

Wen Xishu also smiled, stirring the food on the plate with a knife and fork, and said:

"But you seem to be better at calculating?"

Ling Fu shook his head:

"I'm just more active. What ability could I have? You are joking, my lord."

Wen Xishu said again:

"Are your parents biased toward your brother?"

This sentence immediately made the smile on Ling Fu's face stiffen.

Wen Xishu saw this scene and said:

"Come, let's have a drink?"

"Good, let's have a drink."

Ling Fu's eyes actually flashed with displeasure. If it were anyone else here, if they probed Ling Fu's past, Ling Fu would probably think about how to kill this person.

But it just happened to be Wen Xishu doing this. Ling Fu is a truly smart person; he knows Wen Xishu is much stronger than himself.

The two are worlds apart in resources and connections, so he could only continue to maintain a smile.

Wen Xishu said:

"Be better to your brother. He fears you and also longs to repair the relationship with you."

Ling Fu didn't speak, just lowered his head, also stirring the things on the plate with a fork.

Wen Xishu continued:

"We still have to observe later. After the day ends, we'll see what the situation on the mural is."

"Actually, as of now, thirty jars... perhaps we can still bear it. After all, the worst, worst result is thirty people dying..."

"But according to my understanding of the Mysterious Tower mechanism, the difficulty of this thing must be harder day by day."

Wen Xishu still feels a bit lingering fear.

So he guessed that perhaps the number of jars tomorrow would be more than thirty.

Within seven days, either the Shoe Girl will return to the world, or she will be completely eliminated.

Ling Fu nodded, the smile reappeared. Only after changing the topic could he maintain a smile again.

"Lord Wen Xishu, do you think... does God really exist in this world?"

"Before the Shoe Girl was sealed in the jar, what role was she?"

"Did she get those shoes after the doomsday descended? Or did she have such a powerful item before the doomsday descended?"

Ling Fu's words made Wen Xishu couldn't help but look at Ling Fu.

So this kid also started thinking from the big background like himself?

Although it's always said Three Towers game, Three Towers game... but Wen Renjing, himself, and the old principal all know that the Three Towers are not just a game.

The truth of the doomsday is hidden in the Three Towers.

Being able to ask this question shows that Ling Fu also has his own thoughts about the doomsday.

Wen Xishu shook his head and said:

"I don't know about this question either, but the God I know... is probably higher in level than the Shoe Girl."

"The Shoe Girl's shoes might just be a product born from some attempt by the True God."

Ling Fu said again:

"The True God you mentioned... how many are there?"

Wen Xishu is now certain that Ling Fu likely attracted the attention of some constellation in some Mysterious Tower action.

But Wen Xishu didn't want to talk too deeply with Ling Fu. Everyone's friendship hadn't reached that point, and it was of no help to this tower climbing.

Wen Xishu said:

"Regarding opening jars, do you have any new clues?"

Ling Fu also knew that the other party would likely change the topic, so he said:

"None yet. This game, as it seems now, is a game of luck. As humans in the camp, the places where we need to use strategy are first in management, how to arrange so many people, and manage so many people."

"Secondly, it's how to deal with the items that have been opened, and how to deal with the evil things that have been opened. But what is opened... I believe this permission won't be given to us even on the last day."

"Because if the pattern of what can be opened is mastered, this game will have no meaning."

"So in a sense, I actually think this game might be the hardest game you've ever experienced, or the simplest game."

Wen Xishu nodded.

Indeed, if luck dominates, then difficulty doesn't exist.

It all depends on fate.

But one point, Wen Xishu's crazy tower climbing, and his accumulation and foundation to this day, are not something others can compare with.

His dependence on luck is very low. First—he can know the complete description of every item.

Secondly, he can cheat to overturn several effects, and then... he can also see the names of the hostile camp that others cannot see.

Relying on past accumulation, in a sense, Wen Xishu can actually deal with it very calmly.

In Wen Xishu's own view, this level is not as difficult as Deer Island.

Of course, he wouldn't say arrogant and showy words like "I have so many trump cards that I'm afraid myself."

On the other side of the dining table.

Amiao and Zheng Zai sat together. Since Amiao went to the level 6 hospital and completely recovered... her whole complexion had a huge change.

Not only was the illness in her body eliminated, but in spirit and belief, she was also not what she used to be...

Plus she also started to increase exercise, and now Amiao looks much younger.

Completely different from when she first met Wen Xishu.

Amiao at this time can be described as heroic.

Amiao's good luck, plus her own charm, also attracted many people trying to get close to Amiao.

These people were all from the original Fang Tianhen camp and were now under Ling Fu's management.

They were all muscular men.

But Amiao didn't like them. Amiao talked to Zheng Zai:

"You big guy... why do you eat so little?"

Zheng Zai's food had hardly been touched.

Amiao was very puzzled. The three students next door had amazing appetites. They only had a brief game with Fang Tianhen. But Zheng Zai was the main force who defeated Fang Tianhen—

How come Zheng Zai is not very hungry?

Zheng Zai had words he couldn't say. He had actually already eaten.

Looking at this food, Zheng Zai had no appetite; he even burped.

Amiao was confused:

"How can a big man have such a small appetite?"

Zheng Zai scratched his head embarrassedly:

"I... I really don't eat much. Oh no, no... I mean, I'm really not hungry. I usually eat one meal, and then I can be hungry for a long time."

Amiao was shocked:

"You think you're a python? By the way, speaking of which, how did you handle those two corpses?"

"I just took a look and found that although there were bloodstains on the ground, I really didn't find where the corpses were. You, your work efficiency is quite high."

Zheng Zai looked at Amiao seriously:

"No... little sister, you keep talking to me, aren't you afraid of me?"

Zheng Zai's appearance was indeed scary.

But Amiao said:

"How could someone who can get close to Ah Shu be a bad person."

Zheng Zai nodded, deeply agreeing, but he didn't want to move a bite of the meal. And regarding Amiao's question, he chose to keep silent.

Actually, if someone else asked, Zheng Zai wouldn't mind saying directly: I ate them.

But now...

Facing Amiao, Zheng Zai felt embarrassed. He didn't want this woman to know that he was a monster.

The bell rang at twelve o'clock.

Wen Xishu, Ling Fu, Ling Chen, Lang Haidu, and Wang Yueyun, Jin Shan, and others had already arrived in front of the mural, waiting for new clues.

When the new number appeared, everyone was a bit surprised.

In the corner of the mural, the person holding the sign held it up again, and this time—

The number of jars became 60.

"In the next twenty-four hours... we have to open sixty jars?" Lang Haidu looked at Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:

"I'm afraid so. Let's go. There are no other changes in the mural for now. This means that the second day is not too bad; the only variable is the number of jars."

Everyone couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts. If it were thirty jars a day, it would feel like boiling a frog in warm water...

But if it were sixty, it could be foreseen that after waking up, when everyone opens jars... more people would die.

Wen Xishu and others didn't choose to sleep collectively, but arranged for three shifts.

To prevent some situations from occurring when everyone was asleep.

By noon, everyone gathered together.

Some people started to get hungry again.

But overall, everyone's complexion was much better than yesterday.

The time for opening jars on the second day arrived.

Wen Xishu told everyone about the number of jars to be opened this time, which shocked everyone's heart.

The number of sixty jars clearly lowered everyone's sense of security.

Four squads, each squad has to open fifteen on average. And the number of people in one squad is about fifty.

Nearly one-third of the people have to open jars, and for a time, there was a lot of discussion.

And according to the statistics of opening jars yesterday, the mortality rate was close to thirty percent.

Thirty jars, nine people died. This also included the cadre Fang Tianhen.

Today is undoubtedly a heavy day.

But some are worried, and some are happy. For example, those who opened jars yesterday can at least not open them today.

Wen Xishu asked the leaders of each squad to start counting the number of people opening jars.

Soon, although everyone was reluctant, the group of people yesterday was also arranged like this. Once order is established, people are generally unwilling to break it.

Some people complained that it was unfair. For example, on Lang Haidu's side, someone was unconvinced.

But Lang Haidu is not a friendly merchant. Those who can end up climbing the Mysterious Tower are not good people.

Lang Haidu's handling method was very simple: he arranged for a group of people to beat this person up, and after beating him half to death, Lang Haidu said lightly:

"Later, you will be carried by the other two responsible for recording to open jars. Any questions?"

"No... no... none!" The person shook his head frantically.

Lang Haidu smiled gently:

"That's right, harmony brings wealth. Good for you, good for me, good for everyone."

Actually, the Ling Chen and Ling Fu squad had similar things, and even Wen Xishu's squad had them.

But everyone soon solved the disobedience within the squad.

Very simple: in the doomsday Mysterious Tower, no one will indulge you.

So soon all four squads decided on the candidates for opening jars.

The first squad was Lang Haidu's squad.

Fifteen jars.

Lang Haidu also opened some himself, but the jar Lang Haidu opened was an empty jar again.

Lang Haidu felt relieved again. There was a sense of survival after playing Russian roulette and not getting hit.

But what happened to his squad members next was not very good.

The fourth jar opened a shadow.

But Bao Longtao didn't decide to save the person. The person who opened the shadow desperately called for help to Bao Longtao, but Bao Longtao ignored him.

The reason was very simple:

"Today definitely won't just be him dying. I definitely have to save the most valuable person."

Everyone could understand this. Actually, it would be the same if it were them. But in the end, someone would still blame: saving people now is because you have a good heart, and not being able to save them later is because the item's usage count is used up. No one will blame you. Don't you think you are too utilitarian?

Bao Longtao turned a deaf ear. After losing his hands, he knew best what kind of life he lived in the bunker.

"Don't talk nonsense, damn it. Life won't give me too many opportunities. Even if it's just one, I have to grasp it tightly."

No one spoke again.

The seventh jar, a piece of the goddess's skirt fabric. Another divine servant was born.

After being knocked unconscious by Zheng Zai, he was tied up. His mouth was stuffed, and his hands and feet were locked.

Wen Xishu didn't choose to execute him, because the threat of a divine servant was too small.

Ayovich earlier, Wen Xishu thought about it, shouldn't have died either.

It's just that Ayovich was determined to tell some information, and finally had his head exploded by the Shoe Girl.

After handling this scene, the jar-opening action continued.

But at this time, Ling Fu realized a problem—

Wen Xishu is actually as terrifying as the Shoe Girl.

Because the skirt fabric just now, actually the other two responsible for recording didn't notice at all.

And others didn't know what happened, because others couldn't see the people in the hostile camp and wouldn't have colors to distinguish them.

Only Wen Xishu could see.

This made Ling Fu think... Wen Xishu could designate anyone as a person in the hostile camp.

Others couldn't argue at all.

Moreover, Ling Fu also knew one thing—

The fewer survivors in the tower climbing, the higher the upper limit of the rewards obtained.

So, he was very curious about what kind of person Wen Xishu was... would he designate someone as a divine servant?

Would he do such a thing?

Ling Fu was observing someone with extreme interest for the first time.

Jar opening was still continuing.

The eighth jar actually opened something again. It was from Lang Haidu's camp, a fat man named Oyer. Very young, but also very timid.

The item opened was a ring.

Wen Xishu said:

"This ring is called the Substitute Ring... in other words, if a disaster or good luck happens... you can forcibly replace someone."

"If you open a jar of bad luck, then you can designate someone... to bear the bad luck for you."

"But the effect is only once. If brought out of this scene, in other scenes, its effect is to block a fatal injury for you and transfer it to a 'teammate' you designate."

"Correspondingly, if your teammate or someone else opens a good thing in a jar, you can also replace them with yourself to occupy this achievement."

This item is quite complicated.

If Oyer opens an extremely dangerous jar later... then he is equivalent to being able to designate someone to die for him.

Who would he designate?

Oyer said at this time:

"Lord Wen Xishu... would you be afraid that I hold this item?"

Wen Xishu didn't expect Oyer to ask this.

Oyer said:

"I want to continue opening jars... behind me, actually, the next person to open a jar is the one I'm pursuing."

"I think since I have this thing, I'll open the jar for her. If I open something dangerous, I won't let you bear it... can you believe me?"

At this time, someone realized... the gold content of designating someone to die...

He could even let Wen Xishu die.

Of course, the price of doing so must be very high. Wen Xishu was certain that Oyer was not from another camp, so he said:

"Of course, it's a good thing to be brave enough to open jars. Good luck to you."

Oyer nodded:

"Thank you for your blessing. Mira, I love you. I'll bear the risk for you!"

Mira was the next one to open a jar in Lang Haidu's squad. She was ecstatic inside.

So much so that Wen Xishu saw the barrage.

【Great! Great! This poor guy finally has some use!】

Actually, at the dinner party yesterday, Mira was even thinking about whether to confess to Lang Haidu and let him take advantage to exchange for some benefits.

But Lang Haidu had been dealing with the trio of Nisen, Wang Yueyun, and Jin Shan.

Today Mira was drawn to open a jar, and she was very reluctant inside. So she told Oyer, could he open a jar for her?

But she truly didn't expect that Oyer would agree and really do it.

She naturally didn't like Oyer. After all, Oyer was like her, both from the bottom of the bunker. She was the one who wanted to climb up.

Wen Xishu saw this scene, and there was not much fluctuation inside, just feeling sorry for this young man.

But next, Oyer was like a god of war.

After Oyer opened the Substitute Ring, he continued to open jars and opened a potion.

Under Wen Xishu's explanation, this potion could briefly increase magic resistance. The effect is magic resistance +10, lasting for three days.

All of a sudden, Oyer's magic resistance caught up with the cadres.

Wen Xishu was thinking, is Oyer also an "Ou Huang"?

And that's not all. Oyer continued to open jars.

The third jar was empty.

The fourth jar was empty.

The fifth jar, Oyer opened a shadow. He chose to use the substitute.

A dramatic scene happened. Oyer, after calling for help to no avail, used the substitute ring directly on Bao Longtao, who didn't intend to rescue.

Bao Longtao became the person to be swallowed by the shadow.

At this time, Bao Longtao changed from enjoying others' calls for help to starting to call for help himself:

"Hammer! Give me my hammer! Oyer, you bastard, I won't let you go even as a ghost!"

Bao Longtao, who had no hands, found it difficult even to struggle.

But fortunately, at this time, Oyer quickly took the hammer and knocked the shadow "dizzy."

Pulled Bao Longtao out.

"You see, saving people is so simple!" Oyer said.

Bao Longtao wanted to scold angrily. After all, Oyer caused him to lose his rescue chance.

But Oyer said:

"We all have the right to decide how our items are used. If you don't want to die, shut up!"

Actually, Oyer could no longer use the ring. Because the substitute effect was used up.

But Wen Xishu started to appreciate this young man.

This young man, although his love was misplaced, this kind of spirit of daring to give up and daring to be ruthless made him believe that Oyer was not some kind of "licker" (sycophant), at most he misjudged someone.

Oyer said:

"Actually... actually, I wanted to open jars yesterday. Does this count as saving many people?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"How could it not count? You did great. I remember you, Oyer."

Oyer said:

"I want to continue."

"You have to pay for your choices. You know, maybe you are hot-blooded now, but God won't give a good face to the courage when every hot-blooded burning happens." Wen Xishu advised.

Oyer said:

"But I really can't think of... any other way to make the girl I love realize that I'm not a useless person!"

Opportunities to exchange for glory as long as you are willing to fight for your life are really not many.

Perhaps many people's lives have high-light moments, but Oyer realized that perhaps his own most glorious moment was now.

He smashed the sixth jar. Even the person recording felt that Oyer had gone all out.

The sixth jar was empty.

The seventh jar was empty.

The eighth jar, Oyer lifted the jar. Undoubtedly, he knew that he was now the hero in Lang Haidu's squad.

He saved too many people today. He smashed it down hard.

With a bang, an item appeared.

Oyer opened a key.

Yes, another key that can leave here.

Oyer had no nonsense:

"I want to continue opening. If I die, give this key to Mira!"

Mira was pleasantly surprised and cried covering her face.

【Great! As long as he dies! I can leave this ghost place! Even if he doesn't die, he will give me the key, right!】

Mira felt that she could leave either way, very good!

She almost laughed out loud; this ghost place was too scary.

At this moment, Oyer lifted the ninth jar. Out of fifteen jars, he opened nine by himself.

At this time, unlike Mira, the other people who were saved, especially the person who was supposed to open the fifth jar, that is, the shadow, had already knelt down and kowtowed to Oyer several times.

"Brother Oyer, I don't know anything else in life, but I will repay the kindness of a drop of water with a gushing spring. If you go, after I return to the bunker, I will definitely treat your family well! I thank you for saving my life!"

Oyer just smiled. He looked at Mira, and seeing Mira crying covering her face, he thought Mira was moved by him.

So Oyer threw the ninth jar!

The ninth jar actually opened an item again.

Wen Xishu was shocked. If this person survives, he will never forget the experience at this moment for the rest of his life, right?

The ninth jar, what appeared was a new thing, a loudspeaker.

Wen Xishu said:

"The function of the loudspeaker can make a person sober. My god, Oyer, you saved the person who was controlled by the skirt fabric not long ago!"

"Great! Of course, you can choose not to save him."

The effect of the loudspeaker can make someone get rid of mental intrusion and mental parasitism.

But the effect is only once.

Oyer said:

"Why not use it? Human life is the most important thing here!"

Thus, the divine servant who was tied up by Zheng Zai not long ago regained sobriety under the effect of the loudspeaker.

After that person woke up, he burst into tears and started crying to thank Oyer.

Oyer said:

"Wait until I finish opening the next jar!"

Ten. His goal was ten. He didn't dare to be too arrogant, although his behavior in others' eyes was already arrogant to the extreme.

The tenth jar, Oyer survived again. He opened a coin.

Wen Xishu suddenly felt that this coin was very suitable for Oyer.

The name of the coin is Gambler's Coin.

The effect of this coin is simple and rude—

When you hold the coin, you cannot open an empty jar. You will inevitably open a shoe item or an item from the sealing side.

But the effect only lasts for two times.

When brought out of the scene, you can choose whether to toss it every time you enter the Mysterious Tower.

If the result of the toss is heads up, the probability of triggering good things during your tower climbing will increase.

Conversely, the probability of triggering bad luck will increase.

A proper gambler's coin.

Wen Xishu said:

"Stop... if you continue opening, carrying this coin, your death probability will increase significantly."

But Oyer said:

"But at this time... if I come to open the coin, and Bao Longtao is responsible for rescuing me, or you use the God-Slayer Finger to knock in advance, I will open it."

"Then if the finger didn't move, wouldn't it be destined to open a good thing?"

Wen Xishu actually thought of this point. He intended to acquire this coin.

It's just that he didn't expect this young man named Oyer to be so powerful.

Actually thought of the combination skill of item and item. Yes, this is the place where strategy can be reflected in this game.

Wen Xishu had to admit that this kid, except for his poor eye for people, was very good in other aspects. He is a good seedling for tower climbing.

In the future, he can be recruited into the Three Towers Academy Mysterious Tower Academy.

Most importantly, the courage to open ten jars in a row, it can be said that Oyer's self-sacrifice at that moment... had completely changed Oyer's life.

Wen Xishu said: "How about selling this coin to me?"

"No problem, I'll give it to you. You are our leader, how can I bargain with you? I hope you can remember me! My name is Oyer!"

"I already remembered you."

Oyer had golden curly hair, and his face had a bit of heroic spirit, but he couldn't be considered particularly handsome, just had a kind of ruthlessness.

Wen Xishu felt that Oyer could perhaps be cultivated like Zheng Zai and Amiao.

He accepted the gift:

"Don't worry, I don't like owing favors. I will definitely be able to give you an equivalent, and even better item."

"Oyer, you can go down. Keep today's momentum, don't continue opening jars."

Oyer accepted Wen Xishu's suggestion.

Finally returned to his squad.

At this time, there was a cheer in Lang Haidu's squad. Oyer's crazy ten-jar opening ruthlessness made everyone feel glorious.

In this process, Oyer actually saved two people.

Nisen said:

"I want to play like this too! Wen! I'll fight ten later too!"

Wen Xishu whispered:

"Forget it, you three just be honest, don't waste your talents."

"Remember, Oyer doesn't do this, he might return to the bunker and still be a poor kid. He climbs that kind of Mysterious Tower that needs strategy, and might not survive."

"He needs to fight when gambling on luck to have a chance to get ahead."

"But you don't need to. You are already superior people. If there is really metaphysics, he probably used up all the blue smoke in his ancestral grave just now."

"So, cherish your own life. What poor people exchange their lives for is just what you already have."

Although Nisen and Wang Yueyun's family backgrounds were not good, undoubtedly, entering the Three Towers Academy changed everything.

As for Jin Shan, that is a true "Heavenly Dragon Person" (privileged person).

Wen Xishu's words just now actually let the three understand the helplessness of poor people climbing the Mysterious Tower.

Oyer fought his way out, but what about those who didn't?

Jar opening continued. Wen Xishu originally intended to open jars himself, but Lang Haidu and others decided to let the squad open the remaining five first.

Wen Xishu thought about it, and that was fine, so he decided to wait, and by the way, he also observed Oyer.

In this process, he discovered an interesting thing that made him feel surprised but reasonable.

After Oyer returned to his squad, Mira came up for the first time and kissed Oyer.

"Oyer, your performance was too brave. I didn't expect you to be able to do this. You are really the hero of all of us."

"By the way, Oyer, are you willing to give me the key? Can I return to the bunker and wait for you?"

Mira thought Oyer would definitely give it.

But Oyer said:

"You are absolutely safe here. Now the bunker is still in the Great Devouring, and it's not safe to return to the bunker."

"And... I have already helped you get through the danger. You won't have anyone asking you to open jars for a short time here."

Mira said:

"But I'm not used to it here. After I go to the bunker, I will go to the third floor. It's safe there."

Oyer said:

"Then... Mira, tell me, if I can guarantee your safety, I hope you can stay and accompany me. Are you willing?"

Mira actually knew that at this time, just saying "I'm willing" would be enough. This kind of stupid man is easy to fool.

But she wanted to go back too much now, and accidentally told the truth:

"I want to go back... I don't want to stay here. How could I want to stay in this ghost place?"

At this time, Oyer finally understood.

He could treat all the girl's refusals as shyness, and he could treat his own hard pursuit without results as the girl's test.

For a time, Oyer felt that failing to pursue a girl was not scary, as long as everything was progressing.

But he always thought that his relationship with Mira was steadily advancing.

After all, after entering this scene, Mira asked him to do quite a few things.

Some things, he felt that even friends shouldn't bring up.

For example, Mira asked him to help her open jars. In Oyer's view, only people who love each other have the qualification to ask the other party to do so.

He thought this was a test, and the brave Oyer agreed directly.

Thus, there was the high-light moment of ten-jar opening.

But now, he realized one thing: she longed to enjoy the fruits of his life, but didn't want to stay with him, even if there was no danger next.

That wasn't a test, just utilization.

【So... she doesn't love me at all.】

Oyer's barrage floated up.

Wen Xishu originally thought that Oyer's aptitude was good, just that he shouldn't fall in love in the doomsday.

But now, he saw a shocking scene.

A scene that even he found surprising.

Oyer said:

"Sorry, I misjudged. Mira... I didn't expect you to be such a selfish person."

【What does that mean? What does this poor guy mean? Why was he willing to give it to me just now, but not now?】

Mira was suddenly anxious.

When this barrage appeared, Wen Xishu was really surprised. He didn't expect that Oyer was not a "love brain," just daring to love and hate. Just confused by the situation.

But this person is actually not stupid!

This made Wen Xishu feel even more that this kid Oyer was interesting.

He enjoyed watching it.

The next four jars were opened by the remaining people of Lang Haidu's squad, but the results made all the excitement turn into dead silence.

One empty jar, two shadows, one piece of skirt fabric.

It can be seen that Oyer's retreating at the peak was the correct approach.

Fortunately, the person who was bewitched by the skirt fabric into a divine servant was just tied up.

And the person swallowed by the shadow, Bao Longtao finally chose to save the person. Yes, stimulated by Oyer's behavior just now, Bao Longtao realized that he still had to save people.

It means no one died, but it also made people realize that the act of opening ten jars in a row is really just the power of fate; don't try it easily.

In short, the first fourteen jars were safe.

But next, the fifteenth jar, the last jar of Lang Haidu's squad.

A big problem occurred.

The person opening the jar was a young man of eighteen, named Chang Chuanbo.

Chang Chuanbo also thought about repeating Oyer's high-light moment.

But unfortunately, with a bang, after the jar shattered...

Wen Xishu and others all saw a terrifying thing.

An eye.

The Shoe Girl's organ was opened for the first time.

At this moment, even Wen Xishu was shocked.

Chang Chuanbo's eyes went blind instantly. He covered his eyes, in extreme pain, rolling and struggling on the ground.

At the same time, everyone around retreated several circles.

Wen Xishu sighed:

"This is a bit troublesome."

"The Shoe Girl's left eye. Sorry, everyone, the game is probably going to increase in difficulty."

Wen Xishu began to describe the Shoe Girl's left eye.

"The ability of this eye makes the skirt fabric and sash invisible... even if my magic resistance is high, I can't see them. At the same time, the person who opens the eye will go blind."

"Chang Chuanbo, don't worry, you will recover your sight after leaving the scene."

"The most troublesome part is... the Shoe Girl's left eye can act as an illusion."

"This kind of illusion can shield my ability to distinguish."

"From now on... the skirt fabric and sash will be disguised as empty jars, and even I cannot distinguish... who is a person in the hostile camp."

Everyone panicked instantly.

However, Wen Xishu felt that the game had entered the next stage. And he also thought of a way to deal with it.
