Chapter 172: The Curtain Falls on the Gubao Storytelling Club

Mysterious Tower, 30th floor.

When Wen Xishu returned to the Mysterious Tower again, he found that the surroundings had changed.

That magnificent ancient castle had finally been downgraded to a Storytelling Club. He reasonably suspected that this Storytelling Club being affected by him would likely lead to it being downgraded.

But that was no longer something he cared about.

Wen Xishu soon discovered that two people had appeared beside him.

A bearded man and a middle-aged aunt.

Neither of them looked like good people.

【The Storytelling Club has reached the fifth round, it is your turn.】

Wen Xishu checked the other party's panel, hmm... favorability was insufficient. Since the Storytelling Club was an elimination competition mechanism, to some extent, it counted as PvP...

So this time, the Scorpio Dagger's favorability mechanism for checking attributes was almost useless.

After Wen Xishu received the prompt, he roughly guessed the situation.

"It seems that in the Mysterious Tower simulation, I should have lasted until the fifth round of the Storytelling Club, and then decided the winner with this man and woman."

"However, for me, the Storytelling Club has already clarified the ins and outs, and there has been a good ending, so this Storytelling Club should end."

Wen Xishu remembered that although he saw Ding Dong in the Mental Hospital Museum and returned to the Mysterious Tower, the Mysterious Tower scene was still there...

But he had become Ding Dong's fated person.

Similarly, after dealing with the scum in Tang Rui's life for her, although the Mysterious Tower scene was still there, he had become Tang Rui's fated person.

So...

This obsession of the Priest likely remembered him.

It was just that it needed a little hint.

"There was once a small town, the environment was good, the people inside were all honest. A Priest came, causing people in the town to start being affected, inexplicably becoming crazy."

Both the man and the woman felt that the temperature in the church seemed to have dropped a bit.

This story sounded plain, but for some reason, the surroundings suddenly made people feel a chill emerging.

"The Priest had a kind of extremely terrifying power called Evil Earth Divine Kingdom. He made people evil, let these people commit evil deeds, and then absorbed the evil of these people to strengthen himself."

【You... you are...】

Wen Xishu saw alternative barrage. This barrage was of course not the audience barrage in the Gubao Storytelling Club, but mental barrage.

In other words, a certain existence had been driven into extreme emotion by Wen Xishu in a few words.

【You are... that person! You are that person!】

"The town was made into a mess, but fortunately, one day I, together with a woman named Jessica in the town, sanctioned the Priest."

What kind of evil story was this? Wasn't this acting on behalf of heaven? The man and woman participating in the Storytelling Club looked at Wen Xishu with some confusion.

Could this kid have abstained?

The bearded man was ecstatic in his heart. He was a wanted criminal from another city.

He thought he was insane enough, but in the simulated reality, Wen Xishu's story was more perverted, twisted, and insane.

The gap between him and Wen Xishu was like the gap between Western evil cultivators and Eastern evil cultivators. Western evil cultivators, in order to cheat a human soul, would even fulfill this person's wish.

In the eyes of Eastern evil cultivators, this was simply a righteous act.

The bearded man had this feeling.

But now, Wen Xishu's story had no sense of evil. He was thinking, could it be that this kid had given up?

Of course, they didn't know what the real situation was like now.

【Why are you here again! Why are you here again!】

【Why do you refuse to let me go! Why!】

Through the barrage, Wen Xishu knew that the Priest had remembered.

Actually, Wen Xishu had no bottom line in his heart either, whether he could defeat the Priest's obsession. But he knew one thing: he had many trump cards.

These trump cards might not even be used.

Now Wen Xishu had already come to his senses.

"Why did I get the invitation? Why did Aquarius's favorability drop again? The answer is very simple. The Priest's operation was somewhat similar to Jiang Qing's. In the Mysterious Tower, they were not sure they could defeat me, so they wanted to use the rules of the Tower of Desire to defeat me."

"This is the classic Aquarius routine, taking you to an environment where violence cannot be used to kill you."

"In other words, even in the Mysterious Tower, they didn't have absolute certainty."

"And at that time, the Priest was not yet an obsession, the Priest was in a peak state."

"Now, in the Priest's memory, there is an extra memory of being killed in seconds by Wen Zhaohua, so the impression of me should be very deep. And the Priest himself has been significantly weakened..."

Thinking of this, Wen Xishu felt that he might not use his trump cards, because the Priest might not dare to fight him.

His guess was correct.

Predictably, the Priest hated Wen Xishu to the bone, but what was even more exaggerated than the thick hatred was the endless fear.

The Sequence Wen Zhaohua used was God Rebound.

The Priest knew very well what that Sequence represented. Those Punishing Knight Orders were destroyed in an instant, and even he himself had no ability to resist.

Being able to have a relationship with such a person, that person must not be someone he could deal with either.

"Later, the Priest was killed by me, but the Priest's obsession appeared in the church. Coincidentally, I encountered the Priest's obsession again..."

"I don't want to kill the Priest's obsession and let it be destroyed in body and soul, but I am indeed tired of telling stories... understand?"

Wen Xishu finally asked a question.

But this question seemed to be directed at the church.

【He... he can not kill me? He said he doesn't want to kill me?】

"Yes, I said, I don't want to kill you."

Wen Xishu answered calmly.

The Priest was shocked; the other party could actually see his thoughts.

At this time, the middle-aged aunt suddenly reacted:

"Are you talking to the owner of the Storytelling Club?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Sorry everyone, I'm in a hurry. I don't have time to deal with you NPCs."

Although most of the time, in the Mysterious Tower and the Tower of Desire, there were key qualified people, this time, Wen Xishu was really in a hurry.

He wanted to quickly return to the old Wen family residence to take a look.

【Storytelling Club ended, the winner has been born.】

This prompt appeared in everyone's mind.

The next second, the bearded man and the middle-aged aunt both looked at Wen Xishu with incredible expressions.

According to the rules, the winner is born, and the loser is eliminated just like the previous few rounds.

The Priest could actually still summon "Punishing Knights."

The knight's greatsword directly beheaded the bearded man and the middle-aged aunt.

Wen Xishu didn't feel sorry either; after all, those who could survive to the fifth round in this Storytelling Club deserved to die... except for himself.

Wen Xishu said:

"Priest, long time no see."

The Priest's figure also began to gradually appear. The scale of the black liquid was much smaller than before in the Tower of Desire, just like a huge lake turning into a small fish pond.

The black liquid condensed into the Priest's body.

"You are not... not here to kill me, right?"

Wen Xishu was actually drumming in his heart too. Don't let the Priest see that he was actually very weak...

"Killing you is just a matter of convenience. I have no grudges with you, so naturally, there is no need to destroy even your obsession. After all, you no longer have any trace of existence in the Slaughter Tower."

The Priest asked cautiously:

"Re... really?"

"Of course, but Priest, if I don't kill you, it will affect the gains of my mission completion. Logically speaking, I should have killed you."

Wen Xishu's body had regained the ability to move freely.

According to the normal process, this was the time for him to duel with the Priest's obsession body, and the Priest would devour those winners.

But now, the Priest dared not.

Wen Xishu put on the Phoenix Glove: Disintegrate slowly.

At the same time, he took out the Scorpio cheat dagger.

Wen Zhaohua told Wen Xishu a secret about an existence hidden deep in the Priest's memory.

That was a "god."

And the Priest's power was the rare Three Towers Sequence: Evil Earth Divine Kingdom.

Wen Xishu easily concluded that the Priest knew the twelve constellations, or even seventeen constellations.

So Wen Xishu deliberately revealed the Phoenix mark on the Phoenix Glove and the Scorpio logo on the Scorpio dagger.

When the Priest saw those two symbols, he was shocked:

"Impossible... absolutely impossible! How could you possibly possess these things..."

"Even if I destroyed your physical body, you still think it's impossible?" Wen Xishu replied faintly.

That tone was very much like a god playing with ants.

The Priest recalled the fear of being killed in seconds by Wen Zhaohua again, and he trembled:

"What exactly are you! No... sorry, I mean, what exactly are you, what kind of sacred being?"

"Just two trophies, why so nervous. Do you want to use the power of your Evil Earth Divine Kingdom to watch, watch how I—"

"Commit violence against them?"

Wen Xishu was naturally referring to Scorpio and Phoenix.

Although his real strength belonged to that of a rookie who would explode on the spot if looked at by the other party, the Priest didn't know.

The Priest only knew that these two things looked like extremely powerful items.

He knelt on the ground with a thud:

"Let me go... I will give you whatever you want."

Wen Xishu said:

"Sequence, I need the Sequence on you, can you do it?"

The tradability and non-tradability of Sequences are actually for bunker people. But for qualified people like Jack and Tang Rui, they can choose to trade their own power.

Similarly, Wen Xishu also hoped to obtain the Sequence.

He had resonated the three realms through the Inverted Dice. Obtaining one tower-system Sequence was equivalent to obtaining three tower-system Sequences.

Opportunities for all-around development are rare, so Wen Xishu must dig something out.

The Priest said:

"If there is no Evil Earth Divine Kingdom, I will inevitably dissipate... Please spare me. Besides, the Three Towers Sequence... needs to be obtained through a special ritual... I also obtained this power with the help of those... those 'gods'."

"I cannot give it to you."

Wen Xishu frowned slightly.

The process of him obtaining the Three Towers Sequence: Tower Power Absorption was indeed a ritual. He collected the parchment and obtained it directly.

"I don't have much thought about this growth Sequence of Evil Earth Divine Kingdom, especially since it also causes people around to have evil thoughts. But on you, it shouldn't be just this little, right?"

Evil Earth Divine Kingdom was quite good, but after thinking about it, Wen Xishu finally gave up.

The Priest nodded: "Yes! I have it!"

Hearing that the other party didn't want the Evil Earth Divine Kingdom, the Priest felt the hope of surviving.

He immediately grabbed Wen Xishu's hand excitedly:

"My lord, thank you for your generosity! Thank you for your generosity! I actually... the ones I catch now are all real evil people, and those participating in the Storytelling Club have all truly committed evil and were not influenced by me!"

"I am equivalent to a good person now!"

If one judges by deeds rather than intentions, the Priest was indeed a good person. Gathering a group of criminals together to tell stories and repent for their evil deeds.

In the end, everyone had to pay the price for their sins.

This was indeed very good.

Wen Xishu clearly felt that some power entered his body. Subsequently, two more powers were born.

This feeling was very peculiar, just like on the sky of the ocean of consciousness, there was an extra star, and soon two other stars appeared in the starry sky under the traction of some mysterious power.

"Alright, although I don't look down on this power, I don't like to make a wasted trip. Goodbye, Priest. You didn't truly die, I think that counts as a good thing. But don't go any further." Wen Xishu said.

The Priest nodded in panic, not at all like a mission boss.

He was more like a servant of Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu could be considered to have had his fill of the addiction of "fox borrowing tiger's might." He remembered someone who watched TV at home, saw a leader giving a speech, and then told everyone he met: I once listened to the leader's speech in person.

Watching a football match, the camera gave a star player, and he would say, I once looked at a certain star player, but we didn't speak, we just looked at each other.

Such people are pretentious, but in a sense, this is also a humorous expression, or even a true expression. Wen Xishu actually started using this technique to handle the Priest and play him in the palm of his hand.

There are many strange things in the Mysterious Tower, but the strangest thing is still the human heart.

As the Priest nodded in panic, as everything settled...

Wen Xishu's third orange vortex journey also came to an end.

His figure also disappeared completely after a few breaths.

Only then did the Priest shed tears of humiliation:

"Finally... finally survived."

Bunker.

"Look... the third vortex! It collapsed!"

Nine hours had passed since Wen Xishu went to the vortex. Wen Xishu spent most of his time in the Tower of Desire.

During these nine hours, everything in the bunker was still normal, and the elimination speed of the vortex was as usual.

People's confidence was high.

And as the third orange vortex fell from the high sky...

Everyone felt that the end of the Great Devouring was coming.

Albert and Evelyn, who had just returned from the white vortex, both saw the scene of the third orange vortex falling.

Evelyn said:

"This scene is truly beautiful. It's like... the sun was shot down."

Albert smiled:

"It's almost over. This is truly... the fastest-ending Great Devouring."

Evelyn smiled:

"You won, Albert. After this Great Devouring ends, almost everyone has obtained Anti-Magic Value because of participating in the white vortex attack battle. Now climbing the Mysterious Tower is the general trend."

"What are you going to do next?"

Albert shook his head:

"I didn't win, Evelyn. My victory or defeat is only in the Slaughter Tower. But I just realized that no matter how powerful a person is, if he only climbs the Slaughter Tower, he cannot climb to the top."

"The Great Devouring hasn't ended yet either."

Evelyn said:

"Wen Xishu doesn't need to eliminate all the orange vortexes, because in terms of progress, it's almost over. He can actually enjoy the fruits of victory."

Just like fighting a war, often the opponent's troops, as long as they lose more than half, will sound the retreat and declare defeat.

Orange vortexes fell one after another, white vortexes and blue vortexes were captured in large numbers, and the disintegration progress of the Great Devouring had reached the final stage.

Although not long ago, nine orange vortexes hung in the high sky... but in fact, the remaining six vortexes could be ignored, and they only needed to continue to eliminate the white vortexes.

Albert was amused:

"You don't understand that child, he will definitely eliminate another orange vortex."

Evelyn said:

"You mean, he just enjoys the process, and it has nothing to do with the Great Devouring itself?"

Albert nodded:

"Even after the Great Devouring ends, he won't slow down. I like this child's crazy drive, better than Old Jin, but I have to let him stop for a while. After all, the secrets of the academy should also be solved by him."
