Chapter 238

When the conversation reached Chris, borrowing Zhou Fei's body, Wen Xishu only felt that the logic was incomparably clear.

Especially since Zhou Fei now had five skills.

After Chris heard Wen Xishu mention the war of aggression, mentioned Margaret, and mentioned the rule interpretation of touching numbers in the confinement room...

He believed that Wen Xishu was here to help him leave this place.

Chris also began to follow Wen Xishu's instructions and began to recall his painful past.

Next, in the process of Chris's recollection, Wen Xishu also began to unlock various abilities of Chris. It was the same as when he was with Zhou Fei.

At the same time, Wen Xishu suddenly thought of an essence of exploring the Mysterious Tower and the Tower of Desire.

What is most important in the 21st century? Talent.

This sentence often appeared when Wen Xishu was a child. In fact, this sentence is more appropriate in the current worldview.

Wen Xishu's understanding of the Mysterious Tower and the Tower of Desire is actually finding talent and improving oneself.

Most people climb the tower out of survival, but when you reach a certain realm and have certain pursuits, the essence of climbing the tower becomes cultivating talent and foundation for the future Three Towers War.

Jack and Jennifer, Tang Rui and the An brothers, etc... are all like this.

In the Mysterious Tower, the most important thing is to find the right key figures.

Chris's ability is still being discovered along with Chris's memory, but now, when Wen Xishu returned to Zhou Fei's body, he felt the rarity of Zhou Fei's ability.

Zhou Fei's five-stage power, the first stage is non-logical behavior preference.

After this ability is turned on, even if Zhou Fei's behavior is logical, the other party will naturally encounter obstacles, producing a feeling of Three-Body people looking at Luo Ji. Unpredictable and incomprehensible.

The second ability, small-scale error interpretation correction of rules. This is even more outrageous, simply put, it is changing rules.

But it only allows small-scale changes, and the change range is very, very small. But it indeed allows you to produce error interpretations, and will correct the rules for the errors you produce.

For example, in the corridor, you cannot perform actions that conform to logical behavior. In Zhou Fei's eyes, it is that you cannot perform certain specific actions in the corridor. There is an error between the two, but Zhou Fei can use the error version of the rules.

The third ability, overload drug resistance, this is simple, once memory exploration reaches stage three, drugs have no negative effects on Zhou Fei, and can even consume a part of physical strength to make drugs produce positive effects.

Simply put, immune to all poisons, turning poison into treasure.

The fourth ability, sleepwalking-style ending.

This ability is also very rogue. When Zhou Fei encounters fatal danger, there is a 25% probability of triggering a sleepwalking-style ending.

To summarize—everything was originally a dream, all fake. Zhou Fei will be forcibly returned to a safe stronghold, wake up suddenly, and all the dangers experienced seem to be dreams.

Of course, this is not the ability to modify reality, this is a forced teleportation after encountering danger. To turn on this ability, you must have an absolutely safe bed.

The fifth ability, Wen Xishu doesn't understand. Called will affinity.

But as Chris's fifth ability appeared, as Wen Xishu discovered that Chris's fifth ability was also called will affinity...

Wen Xishu seemed to have some clues.

Chris's first ability is called precision shooting. Chris can always hit what he wants to hit.

The second ability is called vehicle domination. There is no doubt that Chris can drive any vehicle and his technology is invincible.

Wen Xishu also has this point.

Wen Xishu indeed feels that these abilities are not like sequences. But like some things he obtained after exploring the bunker...

For example, the super driving skills that Amiao obtained, this is very similar to vehicle domination.

For example, Wen Xishu and all the bunker people obtained "iron lungs."

These characteristics are not sequence abilities, but they do count as superpowers.

When Wen Xishu heard vehicle domination, he thought that Chris and the others seemed to have obtained power, not the power of Jennifer, Jack, Tang Rui, etc.

But a kind of... power that humans can use.

The third ability, war fever. In the process of fighting, you can forget the pain, even ignore part of the pain, and various abilities are greatly improved.

The fourth ability, killing efficiency, once a killing is caused, Chris's ability will improve, the more killings, the higher the kill success rate, and it will keep stacking.

The fifth ability, will affinity.

Yes, it is will affinity again, this ability that Wen Xishu doesn't understand.

But Wen Xishu is thinking, could this ability be related to his ability to switch and control the three of them at the same time?

In Wen Xishu's view, he is fighting against the "Great Kind Soul." The Great Kind Soul can use mysterious insects, maybe these are not insects, but special parasitic organisms made by some sequence...

In short, the Great Kind Soul can parasitize others, and can forcibly descend and control the parasitized people like himself.

But in principle, his occupation of Zhou Fei, Chris, and Britney's bodies is not parasitism, but a kind of cooperation.

This is Wen Xishu's guess.

"The essence of the Mysterious Tower... is a place of obsession."

"The obsessions here include Chris and the others, as well as these Kind Souls..."

"In other words, rules can serve bunker tower climbers, and will also hinder bunker tower climbers."

"Chris and the others' obsession is perhaps to leave here. They don't know each other, but it seems that because of something, maybe it is will affinity, they were locked in the same place?"

"Rules that are favorable to me are that they have an upgrade mechanism. When the level is high, they can easily escape."

"And what is unfavorable to me is that I cannot unlock various abilities as soon as I arrive, and the ability of the fifth stage, will affinity, since it is in the fifth stage, shows that it is the most difficult to unlock."

"This requires their most painful memories."

"If you play the game normally, maybe you won't necessarily trigger the fifth-stage memory until the end."

"So... will affinity is a very important clue, a key to a perfect ending."

Wen Xishu thought of these when he saw will affinity.

And when Chris finally finished recounting all the memories...

Wen Xishu discovered that many things seemed to be connected. Chris's memory didn't have many reversals.

Margaret is not a Kind Soul. Chris is different from Zhou Fei and Britney. Chris comes from outside the territory. The war he participated in was not some carefully arranged Truman Show.

Margaret's death, Chris's war of aggression...

Are all real.

But the key to Chris is—war.

That war was actually not simple.

Chris's memory mentioned such a passage:

"Kill all the children. My companions, and even I, received instructions to kill all the children..."

"We are a group of soldiers who have been trained and blessed. We are more powerful than ordinary special forces, and can even be said to be existences they cannot understand."

"The instructions we received were to kill all the children in that country."

"Because among those children, one is extremely dangerous."

"I didn't do that. I am actually not a qualified soldier. I didn't obey the orders of my superiors. What I was thinking about was Margaret's anger."

"So in that war, I was only responsible for killing everyone who tried to protect those children."

"And killing those children, nailing them to the wall, or digging out their hearts... none of that was done by me."

"But I know, I am an accomplice. Margaret will never forgive me in the afterlife! Never!"

Chris has started to be painful.

Wen Xishu realized the key:

"Chris is really not an ordinary soldier..."

"They are looking for a special child, this child is very dangerous, Chris and his companions are a group of blessed soldiers."

"Blessed..."

Which constellation blessed them?

There is no doubt that this constellation is not on good terms with the constellation that rules the magic city.

The two sides are probably hostile, or not hostile on the surface, but competing in private.

Wen Xishu thought of the eldest sister in the constellation—Aries.

Ancient, intellectual, mysterious...

Mastering ancient power.

In short, Chris and his companions are very powerful, can be said to be secret weapons, under modern war equipment and their own powerful characteristics...

They can be said to be very terrifying. But for such a terrifying group of people, the reason for invading a country is to snatch a child?

Inexplicably, Wen Xishu felt that some things were connected, but also felt extremely confused.

"Are you longing to get the power of that child?"

Wen Xishu asked.

Chris shook his head:

"No, the instructions we received were to kill without mercy."

Something is wrong.

Their instructions were killing, conquest. Not snatching.

If that child is special and has powerful power, normally, they should snatch that child and study him.

But the instructions Chris and the others received were to kill.

It was to kill at all costs.

In this process, Chris's soldier companions did many cruel things, and the subsequent death of Margaret led to Chris's war stress trauma.

Wen Xishu closed his eyes, Zhou Fei's body made him feel that thinking was very smooth.

"No snatching, no studying... it's very likely that it couldn't be studied. Choosing to kill... is to prevent other forces from obtaining it?"

Wen Xishu was moved: "Chris, which country was your hostile force at that time?"

Chris said:

"In peacetime, where is there any hostility... but at that time, the relationship with Whatever Longxia was indeed quite tense."

"What we invaded was what they wanted to protect."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Chris, did you find that child?"

Chris shook his head:

"I have seen many children... in that broken country, I have seen many children, I don't know who is that dangerous child."

"I also find it hard to imagine how a child can be dangerous, I feel I didn't find it."

Wen Xishu didn't think Chris didn't find it.

"You came here... were you reported? Or what?"

In the confinement room, Chris sighed:

"Of course not reported, although I have severe post-war stress disorder and can't see children..."

"But I wouldn't be reported. The day Margaret died, I was being awarded a medal. I actually... for that country, count as a hero."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Chris, have you killed children?"

Chris shook his head:

"I kill people, I have killed many people. Along the way, if children were purely targets, I would choose to do other things, such as driving, such as patrol reconnaissance."

"Only when I encounter those who are not children, I will kill."

"I am not a good person... but I really didn't kill those children."

"I know my soul is destined to go to hell, just like my comrades said, war is war. Once war starts, life is just a number. The bigger this number, the faster the war can end."

"But I couldn't lay a hand on those children."

Wen Xishu said again:

"At that time, all over the world, had many chaotic phenomena started to appear?"

Chris hummed:

"That's right, we would also chat about some things from time to time, the rat infestation in Moen City, the special virus in Feng City, and various strange and chaotic things we once disdained."

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:

"Then have you encountered anything you think is relatively eerie and related to children? Right on the battlefield you invaded."

This really stumped Chris.

After thinking for a long time, Chris shook his head and said:

"No."

Wen Xishu didn't give up and changed a question:

"Have you communicated with any child? Or has any child said anything to you?"

Chris thought for a long time again, this time he nodded and said:

"Yes."

"I once let go of a group of children, one of whom wore a mask and said to me, I don't belong here, I will find my own destiny."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Did you have physical contact?"

Chris was surprised by Wen Xishu's focus:

"Indeed, this... is there anything tricky about this?"

Wen Xishu said:

"Not sure yet, but next, I need to use your power to break this door. We should go, Chris."

Will affinity, covering other thoughts with thoughts, but also being able to ensure independence, three people, what Whatever Longxia tried to protect...

Many points gradually connected into a line.

Wen Xishu vaguely had the answer.

"I now... have no strength, it sounds strange, if it were before... this place couldn't lock me up at all. But now, I can't use my previous abilities."

Wen Xishu actually felt it was very reasonable.

Because this is the game rule.

The game rule is, if bunker players don't intervene, the three of you are all lambs for the slaughter. One will be parasitized in the process of confinement, and one will lose the ability to think due to drugs.

Of course, Britney's end must also be bad.

In the Mysterious Tower, Zhou Fei, Chris, and Britney cannot exert their original abilities. Players must exert them, and players must slowly explore, find back memories and unlock abilities through various stimuli.

Otherwise it won't work.

Of course, Wen Xishu directly used the settings to unlock the abilities of two people.

"Switch."

Zhou Fei was suddenly dazed. He realized... Wen Xishu had left his body.

Zhou Fei asked:

"How is it, we should leave here... although I don't know what method you used to attract so many white coats, but we really should go."

"Can you break—"

Zhou Fei hadn't finished speaking.

Chris's violence directly destroyed the iron door. The curled iron door, like bread, seemed to have no hardness in Chris's hands.

The tall Chris appeared. In the dim environment, Zhou Fei couldn't see Chris's face clearly, but could feel the huge oppression.

Wen Xishu said:

"Alright, Zhou Fei, let's go solve the next puzzle."

Zhou Fei said:

"Still continuing?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"We're already here, let's do it in one go. Don't underestimate the charm of the third person."

Zhou Fei was curious:

"You controlled another one?"

Wen Xishu said:

"Yes, she is helping us attract firepower, it should last for a while. Originally at this time, I should have taken you away."

"But I always feel... I still have to solve some clues. We still have to go to a place. This place, maybe you know."

Zhou Fei took a deep breath and said:

"Where are you going?"

Wen Xishu said:

"You came here, in your memory, it was your uncle who reported you."

Zhou Fei nodded.

Wen Xishu and Zhou Fei communicated in a low voice while walking:

"If your uncle hates you so much, why didn't he send you in before the college entrance examination? As far as I know, the number of Kind Souls has far exceeded people's imagination."

Zhou Fei said:

"Not clear. I often can't distinguish."

Wen Xishu said:

"I think the Moderate Symptoms Zone might be able to give us the answer. Next, we are going to the Moderate Symptoms Zone."

"The Moderate Symptoms Zone is made like a ward, Zhou Fei, do you know where a place like an archive room is?"

Zhou Fei understood, Wen Xishu intended to explore the archive room.

"Are... are you sure?"

With Chris there, Wen Xishu had a lot of sense of security.

"Sure, I can understand why Chris is special, but I still need to understand your and Britney's specialty, Zhou Fei. Your memory has already subverted my cognition once..."

"But I feel it might not be enough. Maybe even you haven't discovered some truths."

Zhou Fei sighed:

"This must be a dream, I hope I don't wake up suddenly. You are crazy, but since you have decided, then move forward, there are many strange rules in the Moderate Symptoms Zone..."

Wen Xishu said:

"Don't worry, I will switch in time."

Controlling two people at the same time is not difficult for Wen Xishu. The difficulty is that once Zhou Fei is controlled, Chris becomes a weak version of Chris.

Once Chris is controlled, Zhou Fei becomes a version of Zhou Fei that cannot distinguish.

Soon, led by Wen Xishu, the two arrived at the entrance of the Moderate Symptoms Zone.

As for the guards along the way, they were all violently solved by Wen Xishu. Chris's body, once controlled by Wen Xishu, can be called a professional killer.

After entering the Moderate Symptoms Zone, Wen Xishu switched to Zhou Fei.

With the help of Zhou Fei's ability, a small part of the rules were modified in a small range, and then Chris and Zhou Fei carefully bypassed many monitors and did not break the rules.

The archive room is on the third floor, a place without patients, and there are no guards.

Most of the patients in the Moderate Symptoms Zone have lost the ability to think due to drugs.

There are many white coats here, and there are almost no guards, but the white coats have now been attracted away.

Wen Xishu used Chris's body to open the door easily.

Taking a look at the number on Zhou Fei, Wen Xishu began to look for an archive room like a small library.

Soon, he found the file about Zhou Fei.
