Chapter 267

"Me? Hehe, that shouldn't be; I'm just a little crow; what status could I have." The colorful crow was actually being humble.

Wen Xishu really hoped that a text prompt would appear to interpret this crow, but this was obviously impossible.

The crow said again:

"If you decide to take someone away, then next, you will get a strange path."

"This path will make you detour to the Middle Spirit Zone and the Lower Spirit Zone."

"The structure of the Lower Spirit Zone is very complex; between the Lower Spirit Zone and the Upper Spirit Zone is the Middle Spirit Zone. The upper and lower are good and evil, while the middle is all things."

"According to traditional sayings, it is also the place where animals stay, called the Animal Path."

"There, animals with spirituality can be reincarnated as humans. But they also have to go to the Lower Spirit Zone to suffer torture."

"As for the Lower Spirit Zone. It has eighteen levels of hell."

"Imagine, you want to take a spirit body, cross the Animal Path, and then pass through the eighteen levels of hell without being discovered; is this possible?"

"Not to mention, we have already set our sights on you."

Wen Xishu thought to himself, this is really sinister. But since this is already the Underworld, being a bit sinister doesn't seem to matter.

"Passing through the eighteen levels of hell, can I reach the gate of the Underworld? That land of nothingness?" Wen Xishu said.

The colorful crow shook his head:

"It's still early."

"The Underworld is very vast; excluding the Upper, Middle, and Lower Spirit Zones, there is also the Ghost Gate. There are many guards there; without a customs clearance document, it is impossible for you to leave."

"After walking through the Ghost Gate, there is also the Yellow Springs Road composed of many dead souls who have been tortured to the point of giving up reincarnation."

"After walking through the Yellow Springs Road, you will go to the Hall of Lost Souls; the Hall of Lost Souls will make all spirit bodies lose all their memories, similar to... the Meng Po soup on the Naihe Bridge you talk about."

"After losing their memories, if they meet the delivery standards, they will be arranged to go to the world of the living, but that is not resurrection. You should know, that is called—reincarnation."

Wen Xishu felt his back go numb; the structure of the Underworld was too complex.

The colorful crow said again:

"Of course, you cooperated with our work, and in the end, you didn't do so; under the infiltration of the obsession rules of the obsession world, you chose to respect the rules of the Underworld. This is very good."

"The great Crow Brother decided to give you some help, letting you return directly to the gate of the Underworld."

Wen Xishu breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasted quite a bit of time just at the gate, and it took him until he was half-dead to enter this world.

But entering is easy and returning is difficult... just the Upper Spirit Zone exists in countless planes.

Not to mention the Middle Spirit Zone and the Lower Spirit Zone, and the Lower Spirit Zone also has eighteen levels of hell to pass.

A demon king at the level of the Red House would just die if they died there.

"Should I go back?" Wen Xishu said.

The crow nodded:

"Yes, if you have any other questions, you can ask me. This is the second to last help the great Crow Brother will give you."

Wen Xishu wanted to ask, what is the last help? But on second thought, wouldn't this waste a question?

He didn't ask this question, and after thinking about it, Wen Xishu thought for a while and said:

"I really have one question. In the Tower of Desire, I traveled through time and space and changed the fate of some people... doesn't this count as changing life and death?"

The colorful crow laughed:

"Actually, there are several kinds of resurrection. For example, you came from the Sinful Earth. This is a kind of resurrection."

"There is another kind, called time travel. But this involves the multiverse. For example, you went back to the past and changed someone's death."

"Then the universe where that person has already died and the universe where that person did not die are not the same."

"Then there is the third kind, the quantum life and death of the obsession world."

"The obsession world is a special world, which is the Mysterious Tower in your words; this place... can even invade the Underworld."

"But it can also be considered to have reached a stable cooperative state with the Underworld."

The colorful crow waved his wings, and a forbidden booklet appeared in front of him, of course—he could not flip through it.

The colorful crow flipped through it himself:

"For example, in the Three Towers world, a guy named Horn, his death is logically destined, but because of your participation, Horn did not die."

"But the death in the obsession world is called reserve death."

"Simply put, as long as there is still the possibility of you changing the obsession and returning to the Tower of Desire to save the other party, as long as the completion degree is not higher than level six..."

"Then the other party will not truly die in the sense of the word. Although he is dead, the spirit body is here with us, in a state of being able to be 'paroled' at any time."

"Once someone changes the future in the Tower of Desire and involves his fate, then we will cross him off the death roster."

"Sounds like it really interfered with life and death, right?"

Wen Xishu nodded.

The colorful crow said:

"Hmm, this involves the problem of active and passive. What we actively send back actually has no problem."

"Because for us, as long as it is what we actively send back, even if he didn't die at this time node, he can still die at another node."

"But if the way you saved Horn was not by changing Horn's quantum life and death state through the Tower of Desire, but by coming to the Underworld and kidnapping Horn, tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Wen Xishu pursued the question:

"What does that represent?"

The colorful crow said:

"That represents—Horn's rebirth did not follow the formal procedures of the Underworld. Horn will become an undead. An immortal existence."

"We will still judge Horn as dead. In the Underworld, spirit bodies can die again, which is annihilation. But in the world of the living, after having a physical body... it will become an immortal state of immortality."

"This kind of problem has happened before, and to solve it, only the world of the living can solve it itself, which took a lot of effort. The doomsday crisis caused was no smaller than what you are experiencing now."

Wen Xishu said:

"So, this possibility no longer exists now?"

The colorful crow said:

"Actually, I dare not guarantee it; look, didn't the obsession world still infiltrate the Underworld? Of course, we already have a direction to fix the bug."

"In fact, you being able to come here, you being able to hurt spirit bodies... seems to have nothing to do with the obsession world. You also have a kind of power on you. But it doesn't matter, next time you won't be able to enter the gate of the Underworld."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"I'm done asking."

The colorful crow said:

"I like your cleanliness and efficiency. I will take care of the Wen family. But as for your parents, they went to the Lower Spirit Zone. Presumably, they don't need me to take care of them, right? Great filial son."

Wen Xishu knew that the parents the colorful crow was talking about were his parents in his previous life.

"No need to take care of them; I have always been very filial."

The colorful crow made a "tsk tsk tsk" laughing sound again.

"Next, you will return to outside the gate of the Underworld; after arriving at the gate of the Underworld, you can return to the world you are in by the method of arriving at the gate of the Underworld."

The colorful crow suddenly tilted his head and bit off a feather.

Wen Xishu had already seen the colorful feather, which could be considered an Underworld amulet.

But the function of this feather was different again.

"The obsession world invades us, and we will also invade the obsession world, so that they understand the price of disturbing the dead."

"This feather is for your next journey; your next journey will be very interesting."

Wen Xishu accepted this feather.

At this time, the name of this feather could not be displayed, so Wen Xishu still didn't know how awesome this feather was.

The colorful crow said:

"I'm a bit tired; I have to go play games with the real dead people. Goodbye."

Things suddenly became efficient; Wen Xishu only heard the word goodbye, and before he could respond...

He found the scene around him changing. His body instantly turned into a mass of Qi.

I don't know how long it had been, Wen Xishu opened his eyes.

Everything around was pitch black again.

Under his feet was the gate of the Underworld.

He returned to this land of nothingness again. And in Wen Xishu's hand, there was an extra feather.

The faint luster emitted by the feather made the blackness around not so absolute.

Wen Xishu thought for a while:

"This journey, I was still too timid; although in the colorful crow's words, taking a dead person away is very difficult... but it seems there is indeed a slight possibility."

Although he said so, Wen Xishu was actually still very scared; he finally didn't try to take anyone away.

"Knowing that Mr. Jin is not dead, and seeing my family... this journey can be considered meaningful."

"It's just that I don't know how the harvest is."

Wen Xishu really wanted to know what level this colorful feather was, and whether it was better than Ding Dong's phoenix feather.

He immediately followed the colorful crow's words and started the login device.

The familiar door and clock, the familiar three-headed person, and the innovative laughter.

"E-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e..." The laughter of the guide gave Wen Xishu a feeling of Kayako appearing in Ju-On.

The black mysterious head said:

"Truly an enviable journey, without too much risk, and the seven-colored flower only bloomed the first petal, and you returned safely. You also obtained a treasure of great value."

"Next, you must make good use of your treasure."

Wen Xishu discovered that his panel had no changes. The Mysterious Tower level was still level 43.

The sequence had not changed, and the runes had not either.

The tower power value was also consumed by eight points because of entering the Underworld, leaving only seven points.

Wen Xishu continued to look down.

Finally, before he couldn't help but say "Damn, this is a huge loss", he saw an extra item in the item bar.

Item name: 【Death Planning Book】

Item level: Orange.

Item usage interval: Extremely long.

Item description: A gift from the master of the Underworld; after the obsession world invaded the world of the dead, the master of the Underworld immediately tried to repair it; now it has completed the repair, but not returning the favor is not polite, and it will respond to the invasion with invasion.

The holder of this feather can fix the feather on any pen and write down the names of certain people in your next Mysterious Tower journey. You will personally set the death method of all people whose names are written down in your journey.

And you must ensure that at least seven names of people about to die are provided. To ensure you can know the names, the feather will provide the ability to see people's names.

Note: It takes effect immediately after holding the item; if nothing is written, it is considered giving up this item.

At first glance, Wen Xishu didn't understand.

He looked at the guide:

"You'd better tell me this thing is worth eight points of tower power value."

This time, not only the black mysterious head, but the red slaughter head and the white desire head all felt that Wen Xishu had made a huge profit:

"You have obtained the power to rewrite the script once; in your next tower climbing journey, you are the god of death himself. E-e-e-e-e-e. I have to say, the Underworld King really has the style of an Underworld King~"

"But correspondingly, to use this feather, you need to arrange for at least seven people to die."

"It does not exclude the possibility that you can use this feather a second time a long time later, but by then, the number of deaths will definitely be more."

"E-e-e, this feather is too precious, so you cannot get other harvests this time; logically speaking, you should have had a competition winning reward."

Wen Xishu was stunned.

This time, he understood what a surprise was.

The Scorpio Dagger is strong, right? But it only adds some rules. Whether it can defeat the enemies in the level is still an unknown.

The Dice of Reversal is undoubtedly an existence that can change the rules, but it does not have the ability to directly erase enemies.

But this feather can directly allow him to set how others should die.

In other words, after entering the Mysterious Tower, all the people he encounters, as long as he knows their names, he can decide how the other party dies.

The most rogue thing is...

He can even directly see the other party's name.

Wen Xishu felt this was a bit too heaven-defying. This was indeed the revenge of the Lord of Death.

He didn't expect that the crow was the master of the Underworld.

But correspondingly, he also realized the specialness of the Mysterious Tower.

The mysterious content in the Mysterious Tower had already affected the Underworld. This was why the master of the Underworld had to repair some things.

It can be imagined that at higher levels, there are still many things that the Mysterious Tower can affect.

The benefits of climbing the tower are bound to be many, and the risks are bound to be not small.

Wen Xishu looked at this feather...

"It's a pity, its usage interval is very long, which means that after I use it in the next tower climbing, I don't know how long I have to wait to use it again."

"A truly terrifying prop, but limited to climbing the Mysterious Tower."

In the item description, it clearly says it is a Mysterious Tower journey. If it could be used in a Slaughter Tower journey, Wen Xishu felt he could kill through the Slaughter Tower.

"And, it is automatically activated. Which means, I have to use it next time I climb the tower. Not using it is considered giving up."

Wen Xishu really hoped that such a powerful prop could be kept for use at a high level. Instead of using it at level forty-something.

But in the end, he did make a profit, and a huge one; eight points of tower power value cannot be exchanged for the power to kill randomly once.

"And the Dice of Reversal can change the level, so I might not be able to go to a high level next time."

"Of course, all of this depends on luck."

Wen Xishu did not intend to use the Three Highs easily, but if he had a prop that could kill randomly at a high level, using it would not be impossible.

This thing is not just killing the other party, but also deciding the death method; isn't this Death Note? It's even more convenient than Death Note; simply put, it can be called a Death Feather Pen.

In this way, all the monsters he sees in the next Mysterious Tower, he can write them to death.

Isn't this much stronger than those authors who are timid and hesitant, not daring to write this one to death, not daring to give that one a box lunch?

If this pen had appeared earlier... the Ark would already be Horn's.

What Feng Nuoyiman, what General Lei Nuo, what captain, one pen and they die.

After a long sigh, Wen Xishu couldn't wait to start the next journey.

But now, he still had to return to the bunker and talk to the old principal about what he encountered in the Mysterious Tower.

Thinking about it... the bunker is still holding a funeral for Liu Zhizai and Mr. Jin because of his dream-sending, right?

I don't know if Xiao Jin has been found yet.
