Chapter 184: Succubus in the Human World

(Failed to write 10,000 words! Tomorrow for sure!)

Slaughter Tower, 60th floor.

Breaking through the 60th floor was only a matter of time for Xun Hui.

Arriving at the 60th floor suddenly at this time was not unexpected for Xun Hui either.

But the scene on the 60th floor did make Xun Hui feel somewhat... strange.

Not long ago, Xun Hui killed a chattering Slaughter Tower creature that could understand human speech—Slaughter·Reina.

A girl who had sacrificed her father a long time ago.

It wasn't very difficult; Xun Hui blew up Reina's head with three punches. To be precise, it was actually one punch to the head.

The reason he used a third punch was that it was the first time Xun Hui had seen such a thing.

His first punch landed on Slaughter·Reina, and Reina screamed in pain, her head almost splitting open.

Logically speaking, such a person would be unable to live.

But Reina was still alive and had become stronger.

Xun Hui had a feeling that his punch not only didn't hurt Reina but instead gave Reina a feeling of—"pain and happiness."

Pain seemed to make Reina feel pleasant.

So, to test it, Xun Hui threw a second punch. The second punch, with undiminished force, drew Reina's mockery:

"Is that it? Is that it? Hee hee hee, I will eat you! I will eat your internal organs clean!"

With the first punch, although Reina was "in pain and happy," she was truly in pain to the point of baring her teeth.

With the second punch, the force was not reduced, but it was clear that Reina already felt the power of this punch was not much.

Thus, Xun Hui was certain of one thing.

This Reina had an amazing ability to grow.

He—was wrong. In fact, it was just because Reina's pain tolerance had increased. And, pain here would make these people stronger.

Of course, Xun Hui, without the perspective of God, would only follow his own thoughts.

He faced a formidable enemy and decided not to hold back, so for the third punch, he directly activated "Selflessness." Not just Selflessness, but all the sequences he could activate and all the power he could mobilize were concentrated.

Slaughter·Reina was still mocking:

"Come on, little baby, you can make me feel even more pain, right?"

As the words fell, Xun Hui attacked with a punch.

This punch already had 20% of Albert's likeness.

With this punch, Reina only felt a train full of death crashing toward her...

And then—there was no then.

Reina's head directly exploded, and then it was turned into powder by the terrifying fist wind.

Dead.

Painless death.

People who are often shot in the head know that if the headshot is fast enough, the brain nerves don't even have time to react before they die. Often, the expression of the person shot in the head doesn't even change. The "sudden shock" that appears in movies actually doesn't exist.

Of course—

Xun Hui's kind was even more exaggerated, directly blowing the whole head to pieces.

Slaughter·Reina naturally couldn't use the power of pain to regenerate, and what's more, she didn't even feel the pain.

Xun Hui was certain that Slaughter·Reina was dead, and only then did he analyze it seriously:

"They should all be like zombies, existing as beings that need a headshot to be killed. I understand; this should be a place of rules, and it's full of zombies... maybe I should find the Zombie King."

Xun Hui, who had completely gone off track, nodded to himself, thinking that if Jing was also here, he would definitely approve of his analysis.

"Strange, looking at this clothing style, why does it feel like it's from the Island Country? It's very similar to that group of people from the Miyamoto family."

Tower of Desire, 60th floor, Hujiang District 20.

Wen Xishu didn't expect... this team-up would be so smooth, and the team-up attributes would be so powerful.

He and Wen Renjing had already divided the work, one responsible for District 20 and one responsible for District 19.

But what really surprised him was—

He actually arrived in District 19, and Wen Renjing was right beside him.

"This... why didn't we separate?" Wen Xishu was somewhat surprised.

"I guess, perhaps it's because of the luck value. My luck value is very high." Wen Renjing said frankly.

Wen Renjing said:

"Compared to magic resistance and slaughter value, the presence of luck value has always been very low... but when it exerts its use, it often brings us to a place very close to the truth."

"It's just that the world of the Tower of Desire is too big. Even so, it's very difficult to find the real truth. But this time, it seems your invitation letter mechanism has also been effective for me."

"Thus, it led to both of us appearing in one place."

"If a person's luck value is high enough, it can even make teammates influenced by their own luck value."

Wen Xishu suddenly understood.

His luck value was not low, but facing the 60th floor, the luck value was clearly not enough. But Wen Renjing was different; Wen Renjing had broken through the 60th floor a long time ago.

"Then it seems we can change the plan, Senior." Wen Xishu said seriously.

At this time, the two were on the streets of Hujiang.

Hujiang's commercial street was like a flowing ribbon, weaving through the urban jungle of high-rise buildings, with neon lights flickering and crowds like weaving. On both sides of the street, billboards were layered, and the lights intertwined into a dazzling ocean.

Wen Xishu could smell the scent of takoyaki and ramen.

Hujiang at this time, although strange phenomena were rampant, was the largest and most magnificent strange talk area—

But those strange talks were just lying dormant, waiting for the arrival of the end, and people's lives seemed to be largely the same.

"What arrangements do you have?" Wen Renjing asked.

More and more eyes were on Wen Renjing.

Wen Renjing's tall and handsome appearance attracted the gaze of many men and women.

Wen Xishu became a supporting role again.

"I didn't think before that we would be assigned to the same place... It seems that on one hand, it's the reason for the luck value, and on the other hand, if our previous guess is correct, perhaps the team-up attributes of this kind of Three Towers joint team-up mission are very strong."

"So, since we have met, there is no need to separate. Why don't I follow Senior and learn how you deal with various crises."

Wen Xishu had his own little plan.

Although he didn't draw the Three Phases, the basic board of the Dice of Reversal was still there. He just couldn't use sequences and items, but violence could still be used.

Although you, Wen Renjing, are full of charm and kill both men and women, in such a high-level Tower of Desire world, being handsome is useless.

Facing those who don't cooperate without violence, you can only be my assistant on the side.

Of course, this was just Wen Xishu's seasoning; he didn't treat Wen Renjing as a competitor. He just felt that some situations would be very happy and interesting.

Wen Renjing nodded:

"Okay, but it's not you learning from me, but us learning from each other and helping each other. I think you can frequently conquer the Mysterious Tower, so there must be many things that I, Xun Hui, and even the teacher are worth learning from you."

Wen Renjing's attitude made Wen Xishu feel somewhat embarrassed.

The two soon found a cafe and sat down.

Because the Three Towers did not have a language gap, not long after Wen Renjing sat down, he encountered quite a few girls coming to strike up a conversation.

Wen Xishu was opposite Wen Renjing, sighing at the horror of the succubus again.

Wen Renjing also had a way to deal with such moments; he didn't seem unfamiliar with some of Hujiang's culture. After standing up very friendly and explaining a few words to those girls with an apologetic smile, the girls dispersed instinctively.

But they didn't leave; instead, they seemed to have become Wen Renjing's guard team, sitting in their seats, staring at the people coming and going, preventing others from disturbing Wen Renjing.

"You... did you use sequence power?" Wen Xishu saw it was outrageous and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Wen Renjing shook his head:

"Not to that extent; they are just ordinary people, so naturally, there is no need to use sequence power... of course, it doesn't exclude that some of my sequences have indeed improved some passive effects. Let's talk about business."

Wen Xishu really didn't expect that teaming up with a succubus would be such an experience.

How great was the charm of the succubus Wen Renjing? He had a real experience. A few words... and he almost domesticated a group of people. This was Wen Renjing's strength in the Tower of Desire.

Wen Xishu started to tell his experience in the Mysterious Tower.

After listening to Wen Xishu's narration, Wen Renjing said:

"I understand. Looking at it this way... the curse started to spread from District 19 to District 20. It is foreseeable that there will be more and more individual holes, and gradually, they will no longer be limited to the individual hole village, right?"

Wen Xishu nodded.

"Yes."

Wen Renjing said:

"You came through the invitation letter... your time is only two days, right?"

Wen Xishu nodded again:

"That's right, so for me, there might be no way to solve the source of the pain rule in District 20; I might have to solve the matter of the individual hole village first."

"I suspect that Morita Go, this Morita immortal in the individual hole village, very likely has a problem. Now, from the outbreak of the curse in the individual hole village to what I think is the backlash of misfortune, everyone becoming an individual hole... it might just be a matter of time."

After Wen Renjing finished listening, he said again:

"Little Shu, it is possible that it is like this. Let me talk about my thoughts, and you see if it is correct."

"In the individual hole village, that little boy is very likely Morita Go's secret weapon... the little boy can extract the misfortune of others."

"He first extracted Morita Go's misfortune, and then Morita Go, after witnessing the miracle, longed to possess the same power, so the little boy satisfied this wish."

"Morita Go started to satisfy others, just like the little boy satisfied him. He started in District 19, constantly satisfying people's wishes, making people become happy."

"But the price was all borne by the little boy. In the end... that price could no longer be contained, and it erupted, and the individual hole village was formed."

Wen Xishu exclaimed:

"Exactly the same as I thought!"

The expression on Wen Renjing's face became serious:

"That child is very kind. If it is really as we speculated, we cannot stand by and watch."

"The painful District 20 must also have a strange source, but since the two areas are merged, perhaps we can find the answer in the process of rescuing the little boy."

"So Little Shu, we can join forces and head to District 19."

Wen Xishu had to say that Wen Renjing was different from all previous teammates; it was too pleasant to get along with him.

"Solve the problem of District 19 first, then solve the problem of District 20." Wen Renjing had already made up his mind.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Okay, let's do it as you say, Senior."

The two soon started to act.

Wen Renjing once again made Wen Xishu realize... what is called unparalleled charm, passing through all the way.

Anyone who has been to Hujiang knows that Hujiang's taxis are outrageously expensive.

But Wen Renjing directly chose this most expensive way of travel, and when getting off, he frankly admitted that he didn't bring money.

The driver was an uncle of 36 or 37 years old, and the uncle was very straightforward:

"Such good-looking passengers, it's okay not to charge! But I'm sorry, I can't take you deeper into District 19; life is not easy."

Thus, the cost of arriving at District 19 was exempted just like that.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but ask:

"Have you been this good-looking since you were a child?"

"Not really... I was just very likable when I was a child. But after I was nine, my father thought my appearance would be very suitable for climbing the tower in the future, so he started to secretly train me in various skills and learn a lot of knowledge. I had fewer contacts with people. When I was a child, I actually didn't have any friends." Wen Renjing said.

Wen Xishu seemed to understand something.

Breaking through the Three Towers is the mission of humanity, so some attributes, in the eyes of the upper-class people, seem to have become some kind of resource.

For example, beauty.

Jiang Xue, whom he knew before, and Amiao, and even some women who died in the Tower of Desire... most of them had miserable life experiences, and beauty was just a resource.

This kind of resource, if used to climb the tower, is fine. But more often, it just becomes a tool for the upper-class people to vent their desires.

Fortunately, the Wen family is a big family; otherwise, with Wen Renjing's appearance, it's hard to say if he would have been targeted by some people in the upper class.

Thinking that if some fat woman wanted to ruin Wen Renjing... Wen Xishu felt it was simply too sad.

He thought that in his previous life, there were some movie stars who chose to self-destruct their appearance after coming into contact with the upper class.

Fortunately, the Wen family where Wen Renjing is located still has some strength.

But even so, the head of the Wen family also knows that Wen Renjing looks like this, so he must be hidden well and cannot attract too much attention.

So for many years, Wen Renjing was secretly learning knowledge.

No friends, no childhood.

This also led to Wen Renjing caring a lot about friends.

Not long ago, in that mysterious town, when dealing with the priest, the Corruptor summoned Wen Renjing, and he summoned Wen Zhaohua...

Secretly, Wen Xishu could feel the concern Senior Wen Renjing had for his elder brother.

Now that I think about it, perhaps Wen Zhaohua and Xun Hui are Wen Renjing's only friends.

Naturally, there are many people who like Wen Renjing. To this day, if Wen Renjing wanted to find friends, I think everyone in the Bunker would be willing to line up...

But perhaps, at the very beginning—only Wen Zhaohua and Xun Hui didn't care about some of Wen Renjing's attributes at all.

District 19 and District 20 are different.

The sky in District 19 is somewhat gloomy and gray.

Most of the people here live very happily. But they are clearly somewhat xenophobic.

When their eyes fell on Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu clearly felt hostility.

"Outsiders! Get out! You are also here to seek happiness, right? You stinky outsiders, are you worthy of getting happiness?"

Someone started scolding directly.

If it weren't for knowing this was Hujiang, Wen Xishu would have thought he had returned to the Magic City.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Gradually, more and more people started scolding Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu understood now why the taxi driver parked the car so far away from the individual hole village.

It wasn't that life was not easy and he had to make money quickly, but that once he got close, it was hard to say what unfriendly actions these individual hole village residents would do.

Wen Xishu pondered...

"If I use violence now, although I don't have the Slaughter Tower panel, my own strength, combined with various items, should be able to beat all the people in this village to the ground."

He intended to use force, and he clenched his fists. This scene also made Wen Renjing secretly shocked.

As a master of the Tower of Desire, Evelyn, who is second only to the Five Elders, and the number one person on the Heavenly Ladder list on the surface, Wen Renjing could smell the anger in his heart all of a sudden.

"Little Shu shouldn't be entering the Tower of Desire for the first time; doesn't he know that violence cannot be used in the Tower of Desire?"

Wen Renjing guessed a possibility. Wen Xishu also thought about showing off. After all, in his eyes, the way the people in the individual hole village obtained happiness was very likely not honorable.

But soon, Wen Xishu found... he thought too much.

There was simply no opportunity to use violence in front of Wen Renjing.

Wen Renjing just said faintly:

"Please ignore us; we came here without malice."

His words seemed to have some meaning of "words follow the law."

Wen Xishu was surprised to find—

All the villagers shut up immediately.

Soon, they started to get busy with their own things, as if they had ignored Wen Renjing and Wen Xishu.

"You can also eliminate the sense of presence?" Wen Xishu was shocked.

Wen Renjing smiled:

"This trick is not very useful on the 67th floor, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly useful on the 60th floor. This is not sequence power; it is item power. But the activation effect is based on my own luck value."

It really is a very standard Tower of Desire item.

Wen Xishu's eyes were opened.

Next, the two were unimpeded, with green lights all the way.

With Wen Renjing there, combined with the invitation letter and the intelligence Wen Xishu obtained in the Mysterious Tower... after they arrived at the Tower of Desire, they could be said to have gone straight to the dragon's nest.

Almost without any delay.

Wen Xishu arrived in front of Morita's mansion.

Once again, Wen Xishu saw those fluttering charms, with black eyes drawn on them.

"God of Heavenly Eyes, Morita Immortal... it looks like he is not at home."

Morita Go was not at home because the mansion gate was tightly closed.

But Wen Renjing could feel that there were other people in the mansion.

Wen Xishu also took out the compass, and the compass pointed to the depths of the mansion.

Wen Renjing said:

"What is this?"

Wen Xishu explained:

"A kind of item that can often help me directly lock onto the location of the target I am looking for."

Wen Renjing also had a small fluctuation in his heart.

So Little Shu still has such treasures? The invitation letter seems to naturally lead people to the vicinity of the strange source of the Tower of Desire... combined with this compass.

No wonder Little Shu can always achieve such high completion in the Tower of Desire.

Wen Renjing said:

"Is it... left to you by your brother?"

"Of course not; I found it in the Mysterious Tower myself." Wen Xishu said.

Wen Renjing immediately felt somewhat self-blaming again.

"I can't have this kind of thought anymore... he is indeed Zhaohua's younger brother, but his own ability cannot be ignored. Perhaps he is Wen Xishu; this is more valuable than him being Wen Zhaohua's younger brother."

Thinking this way, Wen Renjing's smile appeared:

"Little Shu, you are really surprising. Sure enough, you have many things worth learning from me."

Wen Xishu said:

"Senior, how are we going to enter here?"

Although the sense of presence was erased, this gate was tightly closed, and once inside the gate... I'm afraid the villagers of the individual hole village would immediately become stressed again.

Currently, it seems these villagers have obtained "happiness." But they exclude outsiders from obtaining "happiness."

Perhaps there is some reason for this.

In short, if Wen Xishu enters the mansion and the means are not very friendly, it is likely that Wen Renjing's means will not be able to protect them.

Wen Renjing said:

"We are just visiting friendly; knocking on the door is fine."

After finishing speaking, Wen Renjing really knocked on the door very friendly.

Not long after, someone in the Morita mansion opened the door.

Wen Renjing faced the suspicious gaze of the person who opened the door and just smiled faintly:

"Please ignore us; we have no malice, just coming here to pay a visit."

This time, Wen Renjing's means failed.

Because when the gate of the Morita mansion opened—

Those villagers who had originally ignored Wen Renjing and Wen Xishu stood over in unison, surrounding Wen Xishu and Wen Renjing.

Their gazes gradually became unfriendly.

Wen Renjing sighed:

"It seems... my means failed. This means that outsiders entering the door is an extremely dangerous thing in their hearts."

"They don't allow this kind of thing to happen."

Wen Xishu had already grasped the cheating knife of Scorpio.

The ability of this knife can pause time; he is confident that in the process of continuous pausing, he can solve all the villagers.

However, once again, Wen Xishu's violent action was interrupted.

Because Wen Renjing walked directly into the mansion.

"Let's go; I activated the sequence. They lost their malice toward us. They won't hurt us in a short time, as long as we leave their sight."

It really is; Wen Xishu suddenly found... the people around, their gazes became friendly.

He remembered that Wen Renjing, summoned by the Corruptor Jessica—also possessed this ability, making the priest lose his desire to fight at that time.

Too strong.

Although there is no way to use violence, being strong to Wen Renjing's level... the necessity of using violence is almost gone.

The compass started to rotate.

Under the guidance of the compass, the two soon arrived at a key place.

That was a room in the Morita mansion where a shrine was enshrined.

But the compass kept rotating.

"Logically speaking, the target should be here." Wen Xishu said.

This place was already a restricted area of the Morita family. No matter who it was, even the villagers and the people in the Morita mansion, they were not allowed to approach.

On weekdays, only Morita and those who sought blessings from Morita could enter here.

Wen Renjing looked at those shrines:

"They are just decorations and do not possess strange power. But I did feel that there is some guy with powerful power right near us."

Wen Xishu looked at the frantically rotating compass needle; he knew that there must be something with huge energy nearby.

Having swallowed Arnold's finger, he suddenly felt something in his heart; he looked at the floor, looking at the tatami on the ground:

"I understand... there is a basement here! I think I should know where that little boy is hiding."

Soon, under Wen Xishu's knocking... he found a piece of tatami; judging from the knocking sound, the area under the tatami was empty.

At this time, a weak voice, yet mixed with many men's and women's voices, came.

"Brother, is it you?"
