Chapter 155: Level 7 Mission and Libra

Wen Xishu had once seen countless "Jennifer, where are you?"

Those barrages appeared like hair on the walls of the old building and on the handrails of the stairs.

But at the time, Wen Xishu was very curious... these barrages looked so terrifying, yet had no lethality.

Now Wen Xishu seemed to understand.

The reason lay in the emotion and the content of the barrage. At that time, Jack actually didn't want to kill Jennifer deep down; he just wanted to find Jennifer.

But when the desire for resurrection was strong, the barrage would eventually provide almost endless vitality.

When the desire for slaughter was strong, those barrages would bring powerful deterrence to the opponent.

The barrages filling the sky were dense, like a net, gradually merging with Wen Xishu.

Many curse seals began to appear on Wen Xishu's body. The content of these curse seals was one word—Kill.

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!

Countless "Kill" characters made Wen Xishu feel for a moment that he almost didn't recognize the word "Kill," producing a sense of strangeness.

These "Kill" characters were all over his body and were still increasing; layered on top of each other, they looked like unrecognizable curse seals.

When the "Kill" character finally climbed onto his face, his expression also became ferocious and terrifying.

Wen Xishu's heart moved, and the Murderous Football appeared at Wen Xishu's feet.

It seemed to have sensed the ownership of this prop, so the barrage also climbed onto the football; the Murderous Football was now really going to kill.

The ball skin was also covered with "Kill."

Jiang Qing, the red ghost shadow, was not actually sitting still, but she tried many methods.

After she turned into a ghost shadow, she could instantly break through Wen Xishu's spiritual defense, making Wen Xishu fall into memory distortion.

She didn't know where the problem was; logically speaking, even if Wen Xishu had a hundred trump cards...

After being spiritually invaded and having his memories distorted... he shouldn't have remembered these.

Jiang Qing couldn't imagine... there were two souls in Wen Xishu's body.

It now wanted to continue invading Wen Xishu, but the feedback it got was only a piece of killing intent that made it tremble with fear.

"How is this possible! My ability has no effect on him!"

Whether it was obsession awakening or memory implantation... it was hard to take effect.

Endless vitality was like a barrier isolating all crises, even blocking attacks from the spiritual level.

Wen Xishu had already prepared the posture for a power kick. It was just like an archer who had completed the preparation of drawing the bow and arrow.

An evil ghost covered in "Kill" characters, and a football covered in "Kill" characters.

Jiang Qing could easily catch that ball.

She had become an "Attendant," with the strength and values of the Red House level.

Wen Xishu's killer move, for her, was just a small trick that could be caught with one hand.

But now, she didn't know what changes would occur.

The red strange mist condensed, and several blood mists appeared in front of Jiang Qing like a vortex.

This was its defensive means; although it had no other sequences, as a Red House, Overlord level, its own "aura" was its weapon.

Wen Xishu didn't care at all, just constantly raising his emotions.

He realized that the key to the barrage lay in emotion.

In fact, the reason for using the barrage mystery instead of the Extreme Kick mystery...

The main reason was that the "fool" in his body really thought he would die, really thought that after death, he would never see Wen Zhaohua again.

That kind of extreme emotion emerged, and Wen Xishu also felt it for the first time.

He responded to this emotion, which activated the activation condition of the barrage mystery.

As for Tower Power, some things only have meaning when they are used.

Endless killing intent gathered, Wen Xishu shouted angrily, and finally completed the shooting action.

Dense and layered, the "Kill" covering his whole body, at this instant, all twisted and squeezed into the ball.

The whole ball turned directly into a pitch-black sphere.

Originally thought it would be an extremely violent kick, and the speed would be very fast...

But after this kick, Wen Xishu only felt that his body began to fall into weakness.

Even with the static health bar, he felt a strong sense of weakness.

And that ball...

Moved very slowly.

It didn't seem like a kick with all of Wen Xishu's strength, didn't seem like a fierce shot, but like a player who, after toying with a defender, faced the goalkeeper and kicked a light lob.

The ball speed was slow, too slow.

But when this ball touched the blood mist vortex... those "Kill" characters began to scatter like bloodthirsty vultures.

A large piece of blood-colored mist... just vanished like that.

Jiang Qing condensed a total of seven vortexes. Facing that lightly shot football...

The seven vortexes seemed not to exist.

One vortex was completely devoured by countless "Kill" characters, and the ball speed didn't slow down at all.

Second vortex.

Third vortex.

Fourth vortex.

Fifth vortex.

Breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough!

Like a slow but unstoppable bullet, the ball's speed didn't diminish at all; all means of survival were useless in front of it.

Not only that, every time it touched the blood-colored mist, countless "Kill" characters would detach from the ball.

But the color of the ball didn't dim at all.

One could imagine how much killing intent was piled up.

All of this depended on how strong Wen Xishu's killing intent was, how strong his anger was, how strong his hatred was.

At this moment, even Wen Xishu realized the terror of the barrage mystery.

The barrage mystery had no clear values; everything depended on "desire."

Whether it was the desire to kill or the desire to survive, the stronger the desire... the greater the power of the mystery.

In other words, if his emotions could be further increased, this endless "Kill" could go further, ten steps, or even a hundred steps!

All the blood mist was summoned by Jiang Qing, trying to block the football that was constantly approaching but couldn't be avoided.

Yes, Jiang Qing couldn't avoid it.

The killing intent filling the sky made it unable to move.

Although the ball speed was slow, it was finally approaching it bit by bit!

It had never seen this kind of power.

This made it think of a god more than once.

This was the Tower of Desire, a place where all challengers could not use violence.

But unexpectedly, the person in front of him could use violence, and was also incomparably powerful.

The moment she turned into a Red House, Jiang Qing felt she had infinite power, happy and wanton, as if she could even kill a god.

But now, it recalled the terror of a god again.

The black football, after "killing" all the blood mist, didn't have any reduction in killing intent...

It could be said that the killing intent that crushed all its defenses had only consumed 1% of the killing aura.

This man... how much did he want to kill himself?

Wen Xishu actually didn't have that much killing intent. He longed to kill Jiang Qing, and his longing was enough to seriously injure Jiang Qing.

But to kill Jiang Qing like this, crushing and unstoppable, like crushing an ant...

Actually, it was more because of the other soul in his body.

He seemed to remember.

In the Bunker's prison, when the "fool" was imprisoned, he was always crying and scolding.

But the reason he cried and scolded was not because of his own situation, but because he was crying for Wen Zhaohua and scolding those who tried to hurt Wen Zhaohua.

And Wen Zhaohua was the greatest sinner of the Wen family, and Wen Zhaohua had already done some things that subverted people's cognition of the Three Towers.

This also made everyone who knew the truth crave Wen Zhaohua's secret.

The "fool's" actions actually saved the fool in a true sense. Because he kept calling for Wen Zhaohua, it made some people associate...

Perhaps this fool was Wen Zhaohua's weakness; perhaps this fool loved his brother so much, which meant Wen Zhaohua was very good to him.

It was this thought that allowed the fool, who should have been "exterminated," to survive.

Wen Xishu could feel why he couldn't accumulate so many emotions.

Because he didn't love anyone.

Albert, Wen Renjing, Xun Hui, Amiao, Zheng Zai, Nisen, Yue Yun, Xiao Jin, Liu Sir...

These people only made Wen Xishu let down his guard and feel they could be trusted.

Perhaps in the future, they would also fight for each other.

But it was definitely not like the fool was to his brother.

Wen Xishu fell into loneliness, but in the end, he was lonely from the beginning.

But for that fool, distorted memories were going to take his brother away. That was almost equivalent to destroying everything he had.

So the monstrous killing intent and infinite hatred all came from the other soul in his body, that fool.

At this moment, Wen Xishu only felt... this fool was simply a huge "emotional dynamite depot."

Actually, he had many other means.

Even if he didn't use the Black Coffin Blood, he still had a hidden prop from Ding Dong.

Even so, the fool still longed to see Wen Zhaohua and longed to live.

This longing, after truly living, turned into killing and hatred.

And under the mystery of the spiritual barrage, it turned into substantial power.

Now, this power was destroying a Red House.

A Red House in the true sense!

To be precise, it wasn't destroying, it was crushing!

Jiang Qing's face already showed terror, but she could only be terrified; besides that, she couldn't do anything.

The football finally touched Jiang Qing, and when the first "Kill" character climbed onto Jiang Qing's body.

Wen Xishu saw the barrage.

【Help! Save me!】

Wen Xishu was a bit curious...

So he thought about what Jiang Qing would think of if she died.

He approached slowly and touched the barrage.

At this instant, what Wen Xishu saw was actually the content from a previous cycle.

A man was crazily beating Jiang Qing, raising wine bottles, tables, and chairs, smashing Jiang Qing's head hard, and stepping hard on Jiang Qing's head!

Wen Xishu actually had an impression of this man.

That brat's father!

Wen Xishu suddenly understood.

"Fuck your mother, changing my memories! Change!"

The man was firing wildly in a rage.

Next, hundreds of new "Kill" characters climbed onto Jiang Qing's body.

So more spiritual invasions began.

Jiang Qing's flesh was rotting bit by bit... but the most absolute thing was this all-around "Kill"!

These "Kill" characters could not only destroy Jiang Qing's flesh but also kill Jiang Qing from the soul level!

This was killing in the true sense.

Countless barrages appeared on Jiang Qing's head.

In the barrages, the children of the orphanage, those who were abducted in the border areas, those who longed to go home in Myanmar, the investigators at the border, and even Qin Feng, Tang Yi, and Lao Tai...

Were all constantly beating and brutally killing Jiang Qing.

Every barrage clicked... was a piece of brutal abuse and killing.

That brat's father had his memories distorted, thinking his wife had betrayed him and the child wasn't his own.

And the brat's mother was the same, thinking her husband had a mistress outside...

Actually, the family on the train originally had no problems.

The answers Wen Xishu got were all fake.

Then there were the two robbers; they were originally classmates with the attendant and also very good friends, but later, in the third year of junior high, they dropped out of school...

Actually, it had nothing to do with the attendant; everyone's life had long been different.

But Jiang Qing could distort memories.

She distorted memories, making the attendant think his fate was tied to his classmates, plus they needed money in many places recently... so the three of them planned a train robbery case.

In the barrage, these people seemed to have broken free from their shackles and began to abuse and kill Jiang Qing.

In fact, in reality, these people hadn't broken free from memory shackles.

All of this was killing intent distorting Jiang Qing, letting Jiang Qing face the most terrifying death.

Under the influence of killing intent, what Jiang Qing felt was that all those who had been distorted by her had found her with strong hatred and began to kill her.

In one instant, Jiang Qing was being killed by at least a hundred people in an extremely cruel and satisfying way.

It had never felt this kind of death... soul, consciousness, flesh, all of this seemed to be divided into countless tiny individuals, each of which was staging a death.

Absolute killing, endless killing.

Even a god was killing her.

The black football finally turned white.

Those countless "Kill" characters finally all belonged to Jiang Qing, but Jiang Qing had been dead for a long time.

Those killing intents also gradually dissipated, leaving only a handful of dust.

No one knew what that dust was; perhaps it was the dirt under the feet of the god of death when he walked through hell.

Or perhaps, it was just Jiang Qing's remains after experiencing endless killing sins.

Wen Xishu sat slumped on the ground, looking at this handful of dust; his heart was actually shocked.

This is the mystery... with a kind of causal law killing intent, it actually let himself kill a Red House.

And it was the most cruel and painful killing. If there was a hell in this world... I'm afraid this excessive killing intent would torture it in hell.

Tower Power, no wonder it's so rare, no wonder Tower Power can build a "World Channel."

No wonder Tower Power can "read files."

"Bai Yang... I must participate in more of those ancient line missions of Bai Yang and absorb more Tower Power."

Wen Xishu, by climbing the tower and performing excellently, actually only saved a few points of Tower Power.

But in the Shoe Girl mission, it surged to 18 points in one wave.

It can be seen that the ancient line missions related to Bai Yang are an excellent place to obtain Tower Power.

"It's a pity, if only I could choose which constellation-influenced mission to participate in before climbing the tower each time."

"Dice, you still have to practice."

Wen Xishu amused himself; having killed one of the most terrifying enemies in history, his mood was clearly much better.

At this time, the surroundings also began to change.

Those people who had been turned into toys... began to turn back into humans bit by bit.

Before long, in the orphanage, people began to exclaim and cry.

The panic of the children was soon pacified by a man.

"Don't be afraid, come back with me, everyone don't be afraid, everything was just a magic trick." It was Tang Yi.

Tang Yi and Lao Tai began to take the children back to the orphanage and also began to contact the headquarters.

Qin Feng came to Wen Xishu's side.

"Want one?" Qin Feng handed over a cigarette specially supplied by Yuncheng.

Wen Xishu said:

"I don't smoke."

Qin Feng said:

"I don't either, but this stuff is expensive; sometimes when I experience a life-and-death mission, I'll have one."

Actually, before Jiang Qing died, a barrage festival erupted...

She was killed by countless "Kill" characters. Countless barrages appeared before her death.

Wen Xishu checked many barrages and also learned many truths about the train and here.

He quite admired this person named Qin Feng.

"For a job, you don't even want your children and family?"

"Some jobs are to please oneself, some jobs serve capitalists. But I'm not; my job is for the people." Qin Feng wasn't surprised why this strange man would know his past.

"I am proud of my job, and naturally I can die for this job," Qin Feng said.

Wen Xishu said:

"My name is Wen Xishu; what I'm about to say... might be very cruel, do you want to hear it?"

Qin Feng put away the cigarette he handed over and lit his own:

"Brother, let's talk about something relaxing; my life has already been bitter enough."

Wen Xishu said:

"I come from the future, do you believe it?"

Qin Feng thought to himself, do you think this is filming a movie? But after being turned into a toy by someone and seeing the duel between Wen Xishu and that thin red ghost shadow...

He felt that everything could be unreasonable, because all unreasonableness had already begun to be reasonable.

"The future, how am I?"

"I can't tell you about things in the future, but what is certain is that in the future, many, many people you protect... will die," Wen Xishu said frankly.

Qin Feng took a hard drag on his cigarette:

"You saved us, you saved everyone, you appeared like a god, that's good, but what do you mean by telling me this now? You know, now, I'd even believe you if you said aliens were invading Earth."

Clearly, Qin Feng's expression wasn't quite right, because he believed Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:

"Not just our Longxia, chaos is rampant all over the world; this is the arrival of the Great End."

"The end is coming, strangeness is everywhere... the vast majority of people in the world will die, or turn into monsters."

"The people you once protected will very likely turn into people who want your life. So... is it worth it?"

Qin Feng thought for a long time, until in the orphanage, there was finally laughter amidst the children's crying.

He could imagine that Tang Yi and Lao Tai must be acting silly, teasing the group of children to laugh.

He could imagine that after experiencing such terror, Lao Tai and Tang Yi must have thought of many bullshit reasons.

He smiled:

"The end is coming, it's not something human power can do; at least before the end, the place I manage, justice will prevail."

Wen Xishu was somewhat touched inside:

"What about after the end comes."

The mission didn't end with the death of the red-clad girl, which made Wen Xishu realize...

He still had room to operate. Perhaps on the surface, this was a mission related to Aquarius, but in reality, other constellations had placed bets on these three people.

So Wen Xishu really wanted to figure out what kind of people Qin Feng and the others were.

These three investigators also appeared on the train; he really wanted to know how these three would perform in the future and whether some kind of cooperation could be established.

Wen Xishu continued:

"The country is gone, the world is in chaos, and the whole world is full of strangeness and monsters. Let alone protecting anyone, I'm afraid you yourselves will find it extremely difficult to survive."

"In this situation, the meaning of your previous work no longer exists."

"What do you have to say?"

Qin Feng had already figured out this problem; he exhaled a puff of smoke:

"If it weren't for me... some people wouldn't live to see the end; I won't feel my work is meaningless."

"The people we try hard to save might not die at the hands of criminals, but instead die due to family reasons or social reasons."

"I once heard A-Yi tell a story; he said that there is still a lot of pain in this world."

"He had a distant relative, a younger sister, who lived very painfully, but that kind of pain, as a law enforcer, he couldn't help her solve. He said what tortured her wasn't crime, but family."

"Lao Tai once cracked down on prostitution, taking down a den that forced good women into prostitution; there was a girl inside covered in wounds, and he gave her a sum of money, hoping she wouldn't do this line of work again."

"But later, he met that girl again, beaten up by an even more perverted client; Lao Huang didn't understand."

"But the girl just said she had to make a living. Only this way makes money fast."

Qin Feng said:

"If they are hurt by criminals, we can save them, but if life and fate are going to torture them... how can we save them?"

"There are many people we can't save, but because we can't save them in the end, does that mean my work is meaningless?"

Qin Feng said very firmly:

"No, just like this group of children, listen, they went from crying to laughing, isn't this the meaning?"

"You come from the future, you tell me the world is going to be destroyed, it's really shitty, but brother, my work is always meaningful."

"Even if you tell me the world will be destroyed tomorrow, even if the bureau wants me to perform a mission tonight, I won't frown."

I am proud of my work, I die for my work.

Wen Xishu really hadn't seen many such pure people; he could foresee that when the end really came, watching countless people turn into monsters... it would definitely be very painful.

It was very likely that such three investigators would die for saving people.

Wen Xishu didn't want them to die; he longed to change the fate of these three people.

"Go to Wind City." Wen Xishu suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Qin Feng didn't understand.

Wen Xishu said:

"Just take it as a survival strategy given to you by someone from the future. Qin Sir, remember one thing, don't die easily for anyone, because only if you don't die can more people survive."

"If one day, you find that you have nowhere to go, and the world is full of danger... then go to Wind City. It might not be safe there either, there are many zombies there."

Qin Feng was stunned:

"What the hell?"

If it weren't for the fact that what happened today was outrageous enough, Qin Feng would have thought this guy ran out of some mental hospital.

Wen Xishu said:

"Yeah, just the kind you see in movies, but with the skills of the three of you, it's no problem."

"Compared to the various monsters outside Wind City, you have a better chance of standing your ground in Wind City. Remember my words, go to Wind City!"

Qin Feng thought for a while and said:

"I'll remember."

At this instant, Wen Xishu received the prompt that the mission was completed.

He also felt that he was about to leave.

Wen Xishu said:

"We will meet again in the future, Qin Sir."

Qin Feng reached out his hand:

"Brother Wen Xishu, no matter what happens after the end, today, thank you very much!"

Wen Xishu shook hands with Qin Feng:

"Then, see you in Wind City."

"Good!"

The two made an agreement, and what happened next was very much in line with the stereotype Qin Feng had of what people from the future would do—disappear.

Wen Xishu's mission ended, and his figure disappeared.

This sudden appearance and sudden departure really looked like someone from the future.

This also made Qin Feng frown:

"The end..."

To say he wasn't confused would definitely be a lie. The people he worked so hard to protect... would all die with the arrival of the end, or worse than death, become monsters.

The country he was loyal to, the family he protected, his partners, all fell into a huge crisis.

This situation made Qin Feng feel very heavy inside.

But in the end, he extinguished the cigarette butt and smiled frankly:

"Human power cannot resist, stop thinking about it, at least the end hasn't come yet, at least today, we solved another case!"

Wen Xishu disappeared.

But that was from Qin Feng's perspective. From Wen Xishu's perspective, the surrounding scenery turned into crisscrossing white lines...

Beginning to constantly disintegrate and reconstruct.

At the same time, prompts began to appear in Wen Xishu's mind.

Yes, he had changed many trajectories of fate again, and naturally, it would change the flow and structure of the Mysterious Tower.

At the same time, it would also attract the attention of certain constellations.

【Due to changes in the Tower of Desire plot, Mysterious Tower Floor 29 "Border Strange Events" will be restarted.】

【All players currently participating in this mission (except invitation letter holders) will have their memory modules changed synchronously.】

【Memory modules changing.】

【Mysterious Tower logic repair simulation started.】

【Simulation started.】

【After Jiang Qing's death, the three investigators who were supposed to be reduced to toys survived in the end.】

【At the celebration banquet, a sense of responsibility made Qin Feng say a series of dialogues that were difficult for everyone to understand and felt absurd.】

【But as the abilities of the three were displayed, everyone finally realized that those strange stories or news might be true.】

【Qin Feng hoped that the country would attach importance to it and revealed the news that the end was coming.】

【But soon, everyone who participated in this celebration banquet received a "talk."】

【The trio was also eventually arranged to carry out a secret mission. They ultimately failed to go to Wind City. Their whereabouts are unknown.】

【Obtained Level 7 Mission Fragment — Land of Dragon Hidden. Will be prioritized to participate in related missions when at the corresponding level.】

【Due to Jiang Qing's death, "Maze Train" will be reset to "Chosen Train"】

【Related memory modules replaced, scene loading...】

【Your favorability with Strange · Tang Yi increased to 80.】

【Your favorability with Strange · Mao Tai increased to 85.】

【Your favorability with Strange · Qin Feng increased to 90.】

【You attracted the attention of the Mysterious Tower special existence, Libra; Libra favorability increased by 5.】

【You attracted the attention of the Mysterious Tower special existence, Aquarius; Aquarius favorability decreased by 15 points.】

【Unlocked Slaughter · Tang Yi recruitment prerequisite, unlocked Slaughter · Mao Tai recruitment prerequisite. Unlocked Slaughter · Qin Feng recruitment prerequisite.】

A massive amount of information flooded into Wen Xishu's mind.

Chosen Train?

The Maze Train was a place where Jiang Qing toyed with people's hearts... then what was the Chosen Train?

What changes were finally made to the train's gameplay?

Wen Xishu suddenly thought of An Rongzai.

One must know, as a tycoon, he could also feel the arrival of the end.

And the leaders of Longxia couldn't possibly not know that the end was coming.

Facing the fate destined to be destroyed... it seemed they started a plan?

Wen Xishu didn't have a conspiracy theory; in the end, Qin Feng, Tang Yi, and Lao Tai were all taken away to some mysterious place, whereabouts unknown.

Wen Xishu felt... perhaps they were invited to participate in some plan?

What surprised Wen Xishu the most was the Level 7 mission fragment.

This was the second fragment he obtained.

The first was from Qicheng—Qicheng Demon King.

This mission seemed to be related to the An family brothers, and also related to An Rongzai.

Qicheng should have undergone huge changes.

And now, it was the second mission—Land of Dragon Hidden. Wen Xishu had a feeling that the Chosen Train, as well as the final destination of the three investigators, was related to the Level 7 mission.

This kind of hidden mission unlocked through a mission, in Wen Xishu's view, was definitely more difficult than a natural Level 7 mission, like the Shoe Girl one, and the rewards were more generous.

Something is better than nothing.

Finally, Wen Xishu, unsurprisingly, really offended Aquarius.

He didn't think Aquarius was very evil; this was just a response strategy of Aquarius.

Facing the response means of Three Towers players changing the future, choosing to use evil people to kill Three Towers players was actually very effective.

If he hadn't cheated, he would have already stumbled today.

It's just that Wen Xishu didn't expect that Libra appeared again...

"Last time Libra increased my favorability, it was because a new force, the Demon-Purifying Monks, appeared in Kashima..."

"It's really strange, I always feel that Aquarius is the one seeking fairness, after all... not letting Three Towers players intervene is a performance of letting things have no external interference and pursuing fairness."

"But Libra, it sounds like it's related to fairness... but why is there a feeling of a troublemaker?"

Land of Dragon Hidden should be some kind of plan, and it's very likely this plan was aborted. But as he changed the trajectories of some people, the possibility of this plan being completed exists.

Perhaps a new force will be born because of this...

Then it would be the same as the Demon-Purifying Monks.

Wen Xishu had a strange feeling that Scorpio was the type that as long as you play games with me, we are friends.

And Libra was the type that as long as you tinker with a new force, you can get my favorability...

Currently, Wen Xishu didn't know what effect it would have after the favorability with the constellations was high.

"Whatever, let's go back to the train first."
