Chapter 277

Cain didn't speak immediately, but looked at Wen Xishu with his eyes.

He of course knew that Wen Xishu was the one who truly defeated him; he, who possessed god-level power, was now easily controlled by a human.

Cain had also been guessing who this person was.

Now hearing the other party's intention so obvious, he understood a little.

"Are you also one of them?" Cain asked.

Although he was required to know everything, Cain's own curiosity could also be expressed.

Wen Xishu was actually a bit disappointed with this answer.

Because Cain clearly didn't know much.

Wen Xishu sighed:

"That might be my sister; I have been searching for her. If you are willing to tell me about her, I think perhaps we don't have to be so unpleasant."

Writing a name meant certain death, but it didn't affect Wen Xishu's drawing of a pie. Of course, he didn't need to draw a pie; now all his questions would be forcibly answered by Cain.

Cain was a bit stunned; in his memory, that woman had indeed said that her younger brother was looking for her.

Cain was actually also very eager to know the truth of the world from these true gods.

But right now, he was the one responsible for providing information.

"Yes, my being able to reach this step is related to her; she told me that there is a power in this world named Tower."

"This is not the tower we understand, but the name of a new power."

Wen Xishu became interested:

"Go on."

What Cain began to recount was something extremely essential:

"The method of obtaining the Tower stems from creating obsessions and eliminating obsessions."

"This is what she said to me; it sounded inexplicable at the time."

"I was able to meet her because the people from the Intelligence Bureau were always guarding against me at the time and put a collar that only dogs would wear on me."

"The kind that can blow up the neck."

Wen Xishu had to sigh; wasn't this a coincidence?

Several killers also looked at each other, not expecting that even someone as strong as Cain had had this scene.

Should one say... is it a characteristic of the rulers?

Cain said:

"They craved for me to push the Bloodline Project; I am the key core of the Bloodline Project, and they continue to master the human world by controlling me."

"I had a fight with them, but they themselves also had some ability users similar to me under their hands."

"At that time, I didn't have as many believers as I do now and wasn't powerful enough. So I was soon captured and put on a collar; I had to obey them."

"They thought everything was fine up to this point and could command me through this method."

"But my ability gradually began to awaken; I began to realize that I had to bite someone and let this person do things for me."

"This was also the beginning of breaking the situation; the people from the Intelligence Bureau only hoped to control me but didn't think about killing me; they were still counting on using me to rule the world."

"And I also captured this point; in the process of them not paying attention, I bit many people, and these people began to do things for me."

"And as the number of people bitten by me increased, my ability also became stronger. Finally, one day... the highest decision-maker of the Intelligence Bureau and the Prime Minister of the Lionheart Kingdom were all bitten by me."

"The Bloodline Project is really a good project, but what I want to be is not the savior, but the person in charge of this project."

"When I eliminated all enemies... to be precise, turned them into my servants, that woman appeared."

"She also said a strange sentence at that time. The method of obtaining Tower power stems from creating obsessions and eliminating obsessions."

"She also said at the time: I advocate eliminating obsessions and letting everything return to the right track, but it seems your style is indeed different from mine."

"She indeed called herself Bai Yang. She also let me call her that."

"She said I was very similar to the Cain in history, and I felt it was a good name because I am indeed a vampire now."

"Bai Yang told me that the difference in everyone's obsessions determines the difference in power after the apocalypse arrives."

"Some people crave others' happiness, so perhaps there will be an ability that can make others happy."

"Some people crave to be loved but are not good at words, so perhaps they will get the ability to manifest their inner thoughts."

"And some people crave for their brothers to be by their side forever, so when their brothers are by their side, they can become powerful."

"There are also people who crave to be understood, so their feelings can be implanted into others like memories."

"And I, crave blood. This is not purely an obsession, but also a hobby."

This passage gave Wen Xishu a little shock.

Should one say... he actually heard many of his old friends from this passage.

Was this really Bai Yang's original words?

The one craving others' happiness, could it be Morita Hitomi? The one craving to be loved but not good at expressing, could it be Jack? The one hoping for brothers to be by their side, should it be the An brothers?

And the one craving to be understood, so her feelings could be implanted like memories, could it be Tang Rui?

It was really similar.

But logically speaking, it shouldn't be so similar.

So Wen Xishu couldn't help but make a bold guess again.

What if the powers of these few people... weren't Jack, Tang Rui, and others?

For example, craving brothers to be by one's side, so when one's brothers are by one's side, one will become powerful...

Not referring to the An brothers, but referring to—Gemini?

Wen Xishu felt it was a coincidence and also a bit confused, but he didn't interrupt Cain's words.

"In eliminating obsessions and disintegrating obsessions, I thought letting you possess the legendary vampire ability was a kind of... disintegration. After all, it is getting what one wishes."

"But I seem to have been wrong. I will continue to observe for a while in order to draw the correct conclusion."

"Keynes, you can be called Cain from now on."

Cain laughed at himself:

"I actually quite like the name Cain, but I hate her condescending attitude."

"But you should have guessed that the gap between me and her is very large... just like the gap between me and—"

Cain finally didn't say the sentence "just like the gap between me and you is large."

After all, he also saw that this existence comparable to a god seemed to be satisfying those four killers.

Perhaps this was also a way to disintegrate obsessions.

Cain said:

"I am not her opponent; the power gap between us is not on the same level."

"She told me to save this world according to my vision, let humans survive, let thoughts that can think, can love, can hate, can dedicate, can be selfish, continue."

"I was of course happy to transform this world; what happened later was a carnival."

"I have liked blood since I was a child; do you know, it is said that three out of one hundred thousand people will be interested in human blood and will feel it is delicious."

"Humans pass it down from generation to generation; it seems they really want those three out of one hundred thousand people to die, but they always survive. In every era, there is always a handful of people who act like beasts in civilized society."

"They crave the flesh and blood of their own kind. They also hope that one day this world can freely drink blood. Even drinking blood becomes a kind of correctness."

Wen Xishu suddenly really wanted to say, you had better really be talking about vampires.

Cain said:

"The world I craved arrived; with Bai Yang's help, I became the strongest vampire in the world."

"I am the savior of the Bloodline Project, and also the master of this project."

"In my kingdom, drinking blood is free, legal, and encouraged."

"Under my influence, parents drink their children's blood, and children drink their parents' blood. Friends drink each other's blood, relatives drink each other's blood, and strangers also drink each other's blood."

"At first, the blood-making project could still provide enough blood, and the population of this city was also large; we could even hold blood parties."

"Have you ever tried killing six thousand people and then bathing in a huge... pool full of blood and corpses?"

"That baptism made me feel incomparably happy. I still miss it to this day."

"But... not long after, all blood-making equipment was destroyed. Destroyed by that woman."

Cain was actually a bit disgusted with Bai Yang; he said coldly:

"She appeared again; this time, she told me that her experiment was complete and she had already found part of the answer."

"She lifted my obsession, but because of me, she created more obsessions."

"She obtained quite a bit of Tower power, but this was not what she wished. She would also avoid this approach. I don't understand what that woman is trying to say at all. But after that..."

"Crystal City began to decay because there was no blood. And we also couldn't leave Crystal City."

Wen Xishu carefully thought about Bai Yang's words.

He seemed to understand a little.

Cain obtained a chance; this chance was very special, so special that only Cain, one of those three out of one hundred thousand people, could obtain it. In other words, Cain possessed the qualifications to use "Tower power" and became an existence similar to a vampire.

Bai Yang discovered this point and injected Tower power into Cain's body, letting Cain become a vampire.

Cain's wish was satisfied, and the era of legal blood drinking arrived.

But unexpectedly, the killing sins Cain created created even greater obsessions.

These obsessions brought power to Bai Yang but violated Bai Yang's original intention. However, Bai Yang herself was also doing experiments.

Wen Xishu said:

"Did she tell you why it had to be a vampire? Your ability was bestowed by her; in other words, you were the person actively chosen by her. But why not bestow you a more... not so evil power?"

Cain was a bit surprised; Wen Xishu actually seemed to know the scene at the time:

"She really did say that."

"According to her, the apocalypse arrives, and Tower power will look for people with obsessions and qualifications. They will often mutate, evolve, and become people who adapt to the apocalypse, just like... your friends."

"Bai Yang can get guidance and see these people. But there are too many people in this world with obsessions and qualifications. Her division of labor, or rather, the matching she does, is not this kind of person."

"What she is responsible for is all related to ancient mythology, secrets, and legends."

Wen Xishu's fingers trembled; it matched.

"She told me that besides human obsessions, there is also a special kind of obsession outside of humans."

"This kind of obsession is not issued by a certain individual, but the 'ghosts, gods, demons, and monsters' formed by the recognition of countless people in human history."

"In the Lionheart Kingdom, vampires are one of the concrete images of 'ghosts and gods'."

"And I, happened to get the recognition of this alternative obsession. In other words, I am the best carrier for vampires to appear in the world."

"She also said that besides vampires, various demons and monsters might appear. The carriers of this kind of obsession are often stronger than ordinary obsession bodies, but not absolutely. It's just that usually—"

"'Ghosts and gods' will be more powerful and easier to get 'awe'."

Wen Xishu couldn't help but ask:

"Is the 'Dragon' in Whatever Longxia's Dragon Hidden Project also a 'ghost and god'?"

Cain shook his head:

"I don't know; I have been closed off for too long; no one dares to come to me, and I don't leave this city."

"Everything I know was told to me by that woman."

"She said the Savior Project is actually a project dominated by 'ghosts and gods'; it seems to always tend to let humans combine, but this combination is not unity, but combination in the literal sense."

"The ghost and god corresponding to the Ark Project... is God."

"God requires erasing differences and letting everyone become... neat. This is 'combination'."

This sentence made Wen Xishu think of the islands in Sirius's heart.

"The Dragon Hidden Project, perhaps it is the same; I only know that the 'combination' there seems to be fusion? I don't know."

"As for the combination of the Bloodline Project, you should be able to understand; under me, everyone is my blood-embrace, they all obey me, it can be said that Crystal City is united."

"Of course, there are also the Firmament Project and the Island Country's Savior Project, but I don't know their 'ghosts and gods' and the way of 'combination'."

The two words "ghost and god" and "combination" seemed to summarize all the savior plans very well. Let the commonalities of these plans be reflected.

Wen Xishu thought, feeling more and more shocked.

He had seen many ability users, some not very strong like the An brothers, and some with heaven-defying powers like Tang Rui, Xiao Xing, and Xiao Tong.

But they were all individuals.

Compared to the saviors... individual obsessions were negligible.

The combination of the savior and the citizens of their kingdom was clearly a more powerful attempt.

Cain of the Lionheart Kingdom hadn't drunk blood for too long and became weak, but even so, he had power that was invincible to Wen Xishu at the current stage.

If it weren't for the Land of Obsession, he could open a "cheat" from the Underworld, he wouldn't be able to defeat Cain at all.

And Cain, or the vampires of the Lionheart Kingdom, were perhaps the weakest among the many "ghosts and gods."

Bai Yang was responsible for things related to the ancient times; now Wen Xishu suddenly understood...

What exactly it was related to in the ancient times.

It was related to "legends" and "mythology."

Thanks to the five killers wanting to kill Cain, Wen Xishu was now a bit curious about the Swan Project, Dragon Hidden Project, Dragon, God, these things describing the product of Whatever Longxia...

What kind of monster it was.

What role did Mr. Jin, who was focused on Whatever Longxia, play in it?

Wen Xishu let out a long breath:

"What I wanted to ask, I seem to have asked; thank you for your answer."

Cain didn't say much either.

Because his body began to dissipate bit by bit, like a vampire exposed to the sun... beginning to burn, ash, and finally turning into dust.

Several killers listened to the conversation between Wen Xishu and Cain and didn't know what to say for a while.

For them, what Bai Yang, what "ghosts and gods," "combination," were all incomparably strange things.

As if the two sides weren't from the same world.

Wen Xishu actually also had a bit of a headache.

Whether to activate the invitation letter.

"He finally died; didn't expect him to be very cooperative before dying; you asked all the questions, and he answered them all. I say... he wouldn't have been hypnotized by you, right?" the Cannon asked.

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"How could that be; you also heard, 'ghosts and gods,' 'savior,' these high-end titles are enough to describe his power. I can hypnotize some small fries, but I can't do it to enemies of this level."

Canon said:

"I always feel that all this is a dream; people like us actually killed the Vampire King."

Shadow nodded:

"Too dreamy; I suddenly feel that life has no regrets."

The Cannon was the same:

"Yes, we don't even have to go back to report; we are even free."

Several killers probably had never been so happy.

They all felt that the mission of life had been achieved.

All obsessions were disintegrated at this moment.

Wen Xishu was actually doing this for the first time, a "perfect" clearance in the true sense.

Although he didn't receive any prompts, although he hadn't gone to the Desire Tower yet, Wen Xishu knew very well that his reward this time would be at least level six.

Even without relying on the reality change of the Desire Tower.

Rarely was there someone like him who served "obsession" so comfortably in the Mysterious Tower.

Although the killers were people of the Obsession World, they didn't realize this; here, for them, it was the real world.

Their insights and experiences also had the most real feedback.

Relying on the Death Feather Pen, Wen Xishu solved the strong enemies and worries. In a sense, the previous Mysterious Tower journeys were all going to the real world halfway through the fight.

Finally relying on changing reality to reset the Mysterious Tower.

This time was different; this time he really did the current level and current mission thoroughly. Wen Xishu was very curious if there would be any different rewards.

The Cannon helped Cosmos up, Canon helped Night Demon up, and Shadow was in the middle.

Five killers walked toward the outside of Crystal City, their backs having no regrets.

Suddenly, the Cannon turned his head:

"Murderer, let's go together?"

For the killers, there were still many places to go in this world, but for Wen Xishu...

He had already completed the mission.

He was also a bit conflicted about whether to activate the invitation letter. Would the obsession change because of the change in reality? So the perfectly cleared Mysterious Tower became no longer perfect?

Wen Xishu suddenly asked:

"By the way, in your impression... is there anyone special... who likes pranks?"

At level seven, Wen Xishu had heard Jin Zaimin mention a person, saying there was a high-level breaker who could convey some information to the lower levels.

Wen Xishu cared about this very much and had never forgotten this point.

Now it was level forty-nine, also a level related to seven; Wen Xishu also suddenly realized...

A rope breaks at its thinnest point, and persimmons should be picked by the softest.

In the Desire Tower, the breaker who teased everyone, for Wen Xishu, was the softest persimmon to handle.

He thought of the world and realized he didn't need to struggle with whether he could get a good ending for several killers in the Desire Tower.

He didn't even need to change history, but he could go and beat the breaker.
