Chapter 191: Final Battle Plan

This was Wen Xishu's second time facing a constellation.

Capricorn.

He had guessed before that either Taurus or Capricorn, one of their characteristics, was responsible for transformation.

Directly transforming Bunker people into Three Towers people.

Now the answer was confirmed; it was Capricorn.

Capricorn looked quite trendy and fashionable. Killing with a flick of a finger wasn't strange, but it was certain that even if it wasn't a combat-type constellation...

Even if it was Gemini, which other constellations called the weakest, it wasn't something he could deal with at his current stage.

It wasn't even something someone like Xunhui could deal with. Only the old Principal had the ability to confront a constellation head-on.

"Although your status is noble, I cannot make a decision unfavorable to me because of that. You should know that turning players into NPCs is a very losing business," Wen Xishu said.

Capricorn smiled:

"Players and NPCs? What an interesting way of putting it."

"You are quite calm and rational. Correspondingly, if you are willing to leave here, I can let all your abilities be liberated, and you will be able to use every ability more handily."

"You can even use ultimate moves at will."

"And all the causality you accumulated before will still be there; you don't have to change your appearance."

"Any causality you changed before that is favorable to you will still be realized again."

"These are the conditions for this time. You can consider it."

Wen Renjing finally reacted:

"You mean, you can break the Bunker restrictions and force Xiaoshu to become a person of the Three Towers world?"

Capricorn nodded:

"My ability is just like that. Honestly, I have paid attention to both of you. Why don't you both come together?"

Wen Xishu smiled.

Capricorn wasn't annoying. The existence of someone who could inexplicably directly confront players, it seemed... the initial hostility wasn't strong.

Of course, his own behavior once attracted the attention of all constellations, which might have led to Capricorn having some favorability toward him.

Now it seemed that the initial favorability of constellations didn't have a specific function yet... but at least, positive favorability could ensure he wouldn't be killed in seconds.

In this way, he had to try his best to avoid meeting Aquarius.

"How is your relationship with Aquarius? Does Aquarius often set up villains to intercept people like us? Just to prevent us from changing causality."

Wen Xishu asked very straightforwardly.

Capricorn was quite surprised:

"Yo, you know my sister, tsk tsk."

Wen Xishu pursued:

"Forgive me for being blunt, your behavior today also looks like refusing us to change causality, and then turning us into causality that can be changed by others..."

"So, are you on the same side?"

Capricorn touched his hat:

"Apologies, I am just an extractor, and those willing to accept extraction will receive my protection. My sister and I are not on the same side; her methods are too radical."

"I always feel that the evolutionary mechanism provided by your world is very interesting, and it will evolve some powerful existences."

"Whenever such existences appear, I will provide extraction. Of course... whether we can talk face-to-face depends on the timing."

"Coincidentally, this time there is a force longing for you to disappear."

No hostility.

Wen Renjing felt slightly relieved after repeatedly confirming. He didn't have much contact with constellations.

Before, he had only attracted the favor of Gemini and Virgo.

But Wen Renjing knew very well that the momentum and pressure emitted by the other party were far stronger than his friend Xunhui.

Only after being sure that the other party had no hostility did he realize that this was a miraculous encounter.

Of course, this encounter would lead to Wen Xishu and himself having to make a choice.

The result of the choice would completely change their fate.

Facing this situation, Wen Renjing could only choose to believe in Wen Xishu.

Capricorn continued to add:

"In short, extraction will bring you some benefits to compensate for the alternation of your permissions."

"Admittedly, you will no longer be able to become a person of a certain world, and you will no longer change another world in a certain form."

"But correspondingly, you will become more powerful and freer. And I think highly of you; I can spend a lot of effort to make the time node of your appearance relatively early."

"This is the extraction benefit for this time; are you really not considering it?"

Wen Xishu began to think.

Thoroughly mastering the existing sequence power probably meant he would change from a Bunker Tower Ascender to a Qualified One.

Able to use sequence ultimate moves without relying on Tower Power values like Jack.

And he could return to a very early time node. If it was early enough, he could even become an overlord.

In addition, the causality he changed would still be valid. That is to say, Tang Rui, Jack and Jennifer, the An brothers, and the three police officers would all still be on good terms with him.

Wind City would also still be his base.

And he could influence the entire Three Towers War based on these resources.

In addition, he would know about the existence of Bunker people, and perhaps he could even coordinate with them.

These were the benefits of extraction.

But to be honest, this series of benefits—

Wen Xishu didn't care for any of them.

Because of the Crazy Dice.

Undoubtedly, the Crazy Dice was an important thing left by Wen Zhaohua, and this thing was used for climbing the tower.

If there were no Crazy Dice, would he really be qualified to cover the light of heaven-favored children like Wen Renjing and Xunhui?

Furthermore, Scorpio, Gemini, and even Capricorn were so polite to him now, perhaps because he was a Tower Ascender.

If he wasn't, would they still look highly upon him with his little strength?

Wen Xishu immediately vetoed it:

"Apologies, I cannot accept extraction."

Capricorn, however, seemed to have expected it:

"Then look forward to our second extraction negotiation after you change more causality."

Wen Xishu really wanted to say—no matter how many times, I will not change the result.

But he held back; for one, it wasn't good to offend Capricorn.

For another—Capricorn began to spill more intelligence:

"My style of doing things is extraction. The greater the causality you change—the better the conditions for extraction."

"Don't be in a hurry to reject it all. Back then, someone in your Bunker accepted my extraction. It can be said that the things he did later—were even more exaggerated than what he could do in the Bunker."

"And, I even helped him extract someone to go to the Bunker."

This was truly explosive.

Even Wen Renjing couldn't control his expression.

There were actually Three Towers people in the Bunker?

Wen Xishu was thinking, who would it be? And Three Towers people going to the Bunker... would it be a direct appearance of a newcomer, or would they steal the body of someone who already existed?

"You aren't satisfied with the conditions this time, so we'll do it next time. I should go. Finally~ I quite like your style of doing things, but it's a bit too idealistic. Facing my brother Leo, you must be careful."

Hearing the words "I should be going," Wen Xishu immediately became a bit anxious. This was a rare Party B who had no murderous intent and hoped to do business with him.

It was rare for him to be the Party A of the Twelve Constellations for once; could he let him leave without leaking a bit of intelligence?

"What are Leo's characteristics? Is Bai Yang the strongest among the current Twelve Constellations?" Wen Xishu asked immediately.

"How can I have more contact with areas influenced by Bai Yang?"

Capricorn tilted his head slightly:

"You kid, you actually have designs on the eldest sister? It seems you have already tasted the sweetness of absorbing ancient power."

"However, ancient missions are all very terrifying."

"You'd better honestly follow your original rhythm."

"As for Leo, I don't dare to discuss him behind his back. He is narrow-minded and very vengeful."

"Alright, I really should go. I cannot reveal too much content before extraction, otherwise, what if I get found?"

Wen Xishu spoke very quickly:

"Her, what is going on with her power?"

This time, it was Akiyama Xiaoxing's turn to be surprised, because Wen Xishu suddenly turned the topic and pointed at her.

Capricorn thought for a moment; this didn't matter.

And with the abilities of these two people, they probably should have guessed that this girl was extraordinary.

He said:

"Eerie Sequence 14·Kingdom of the Suffering Goddess. This sequence requires a person to endure enough pain; the process of absorbing pain can last for years, or even more than a decade."

"The passive effect is that it will be easier to be treated badly by the world."

"But when the pain is enough, one can create a rule sufficient to constrain everyone, and the range is not small; it's a bit like a rule nuclear explosion. In a sense, this is an astonishing power that can change a country."

"Ah, people who possess such sequences are all unfortunate."

"The rule she eventually creates depends on her feelings toward this world when her pain accumulates to a critical point."

"If it is desperate, that rule will make the world very twisted and corrupted. If it is full of hope..."

"Hmm, I don't know either; will such a person really be full of hope? Perhaps you can let me see this interesting scene."

"Damn, I really should go; if I don't leave, I'll be discovered."

As if worried about being found by something, Capricorn could actually be afraid.

When he came, it was like a mountain storm; when he left, it was calm.

Capricorn really didn't give Wen Xishu a chance to ask anything else and disappeared directly.

With Capricorn's disappearance, the sense of oppression around them gradually dissipated.

Wen Renjing had a feeling of exhaustion for the first time, with sweat seeping from his back.

Akiyama Xiaoxing was still thinking about the last sentence.

Wen Xishu said:

"Haha, I didn't expect the Bunker household registration to be so popular; I was a 'Bunker Master' for once."

Wen Renjing admired Xiaoshu's mentality:

"That level of existence... have you encountered it before, Xiaoshu?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"I have. I was relatively lucky; some of the choices I made before led to the two I encountered having a good impression of me."

Wen Renjing admired Wen Xishu again.

Now, he believed one thing: no matter what gift Zhaohua left for Xiaoshu, even without these assets, Xiaoshu himself was a powerful, excellent Tower Ascender comparable to them.

Wen Xishu steered the topic back to the right track:

"Now Sakai Shinichi is dead, and we already know Xiaoxing's power."

Wen Renjing nodded; it was his first time seeing such a high-ranking sequence.

A super sequence in the top twenty... no, the top fifteen.

Wen Xishu said:

"Xiaoxing, do you understand now? You have astonishing power in your body; all the harm and malice the world has toward you are fake."

"Let me give you an example; those harms and malices are actually similar to... energy bars."

"According to my understanding, the energy bar is actually almost full. You are not an unfortunate person; you are the Goddess of Suffering."

"Your mentality will have a great impact on this world in the future."

Akiyama Xiaoxing had a huge sense of unreality; after all, not long ago, she was still being abused and hurt by a piece of human scum.

After a while, she nodded:

"I, what do I need to do? What are you going to do next? I will definitely cooperate with you with all my strength!"

Wen Renjing said:

"We are going to save Hitomi. You should be clear about Hitomi's situation now, right? He lives in lies and deception."

"His physical condition is very bad, so bad that it is very likely to trigger a large-scale... curse."

Wen Xishu, upon hearing this word, suddenly realized that District 19 and District 20 were really like a certain passionate city in his previous life.

The Qualified One in District 19, because he absorbed too much misfortune, was eventually blown up by misfortune... leading to the entire District 19 being like a nuclear explosion.

Everywhere were human holes, floating ruins of buildings.

District 20 was the same; pain made the Qualified One completely despair of the world, and after exceeding a certain critical value... he also completely blew up. Leading to the arrival of the rule of pain, everyone had to embrace pain.

"Is this... two nuclear bombs of the Mysterious Tower version?"

He actually had the leisure to think about such hellish jokes; Wen Xishu immediately shook his head and focused on the present:

"The process of saving Morita Hitomi will definitely not be smooth. We have to fight Morita Yu. This vampire doesn't know how many wishes he has made; he is already very difficult to kill, almost to the point of having no blind spots."

"But it's not without a way. I think you, senior, should have thought of how to break the enemy, just like me, right?"

Wen Renjing nodded:

"The key to breaking the situation lies in Hitomi's apparent obsession with Xiaoxing."

"Before leaving Hitomi, I specifically tested it and confirmed one point... although Hitomi won't do anything Morita Yu prevents, Hitomi is very stubborn only in the matter of rescuing Xiaoxing."

"According to the chat records of the two, Morita Yu has been verbally compromising, which shows that even Morita Yu has no way to erase the obsession Hitomi has to save Xiaoxing."

"Morita Yu never satisfies Morita Hitomi's request and keeps stalling, probably because he is afraid that Xiaoxing's appearance will reduce his ruling power."

"This is our breakthrough point."

Akiyama Xiaoxing understood:

"He longs to save me no matter what, wanting to drive away the misfortune on me."

"But I have experienced too much misfortune; can he really bear it?"

Wen Renjing smiled:

"Now you already know that misfortune is just nutrients for you to become stronger. So once you understand this point, they are no longer your misfortune."

Akiyama Xiaoxing understood immediately:

"So I... I should change the source of my misfortune."

Wen Renjing nodded:

"Yes, Xiaoxing, this is the most critical step in our battle plan."

Akiyama Xiaoxing understood:

"My misfortune is Hitomi's misfortune. When my misfortune... is that Hitomi cannot obtain happiness, Hitomi absorbs this part of misfortune, and he can obtain happiness."

"In that way, those who make Hitomi unfortunate will find it very difficult to control Hitomi again."

Her eyes instantly had light.

Not only her, but even Wen Renjing felt... the terror of these two combined.

Misfortune and pain can make Akiyama Xiaoxing stronger.

And Morita Hitomi can absorb others' misfortune; if the two are combined, it will probably really cause a revolution in Hujiang.

Perhaps this is the greater causality that is about to change in Capricorn's words?

But now, there is still one most tricky problem in front of everyone.

Wen Xishu said:

"We must find a way to stall Immortal Sentian. Our actions will make Immortal Sentian unfortunate, so all our actions... will be unusually difficult."

"And Immortal Sentian's own ability is probably also very powerful."

"This guy might already be in a state of getting whatever he wants. It can be said that except for being unable to stop Morita Hitomi's inner obsession to save Xiaoxing, everything else is almost whatever he wants."

"I must first distract him and stall him, making him think that his misfortune is me."

"And senior, you are a heartthrob; you are unimpeded all the way, and you can resolve the killing intent and hostility of ordinary people. You take Xiaoxing and find Morita Hitomi; I will give you the compass."

In a sense, Morita Hitomi cannot be found because this belongs to the misfortune of "Immortal Sentian."

But is the compass's power stronger, or is Hitomi's power stronger... Wen Xishu felt that the compass was probably a bit stronger.

Wen Renjing also understood the necessity of acting separately.

This journey will inevitably be very unsmooth. If one "misfortune" can be transformed into two, then correspondingly, the resistance encountered by each will be smaller.

It's just that Wen Renjing is very worried:

"Can you really do it alone, facing Morita Yu? Although you can use violence, you cannot use the sequences of the Mysterious Tower and the Slaughter Tower."

Wen Xishu said:

"It is naturally very difficult to kill him under the blessing of Morita Hitomi's power, which is why we need a two-line battle. Only when you succeed on your side will I have a chance to kill him."

"I will naturally also encounter danger. Killing him directly might give me a feeling of being targeted by the whole world like Xiaoxing, but if I don't beat this guy up myself, I will be very unhappy."

If he had the Power of Three Phases, Wen Xishu wouldn't waste any effort and would just kill through.

But now, he might have to use some more extreme trump cards.

Up to now, all of Wen Xishu's orange items, except for the Murder Soccer which became orange after being evolved by the Crazy Dice and is limited to single tower system use, the others—gloves, knife, compass, feather—are all naturally orange items and are universal to the Three Towers.

But Wen Xishu actually has one more thing that is also a naturally orange item.

In the Desire Tower, without the Power of Three Phases, to deal with a person of conceptual strong luck who has almost no blind spots, Wen Xishu also brought out the determination to fight to the death:

"Let's see if my life is harder, or if his luck is stronger."
