Chapter 43: Wen Xishu

This was, of course, a very dangerous behavior.

Wen Xishu was also clear about this point, but he observed very carefully.

If Xita hadn't died, and if there hadn't been that scent of animal feces, Zheng Zai could likely have restrained himself.

Therefore, at this moment, after Zheng Zai's desire was partially satisfied, that restraint should be even stronger.

He believed that Zheng Zai, after relieving his craving for flesh and blood, would definitely be able to regain control of his body.

So, at this moment, Wen Xishu chose to build up some favorability.

Wen Xishu succeeded; in Zheng Zai's eyes, he was practically an angel. Ever since his father was arrested, it had been a very, very long time since this world had made him feel kindness.

However, this scene in the eyes of the other few people was very terrifying.

On Park Meixi's arms, which had once been liked by countless upper-level people... goosebumps even appeared.

A monster that eats people, and a pervert who greets the monster with a smile and even takes the initiative to feed it meat.

Previously, Park Meixi felt that Wen Xishu's history was fabricated, and that Wen Xishu was not someone with mental problems. But now, in her eyes, Wen Xishu was not just ordinarily problematic.

Kai En was also breaking out in a cold sweat; liking to decorate himself with how big his crimes were, when in fact he was just using the name to package himself, was not something a strong person would do.

Now, the feeling Wen Xishu gave him was that of a strong person.

A crazed strong person.

This scene didn't last long, because Zheng Zai had already stood up, and he said to Wen Xishu:

"I... I'm sorry, for letting you see me like this. I... I am full now. Thank you, thank you. My state is much better now, even better than just now; I think I can help you."

He said thank you twice in a row.

Wen Xishu just waved his hand. After thinking it over, Wen Xishu decided to continue killing.

There were four rooms in total, and according to the mission description, there should be four items that needed to be purified. Four rooms should also correspond to four different mechanisms for finding things.

But even so, Wen Xishu didn't change his original plan—to kill all his teammates.

"Look at your performance; if it's good enough, it's not impossible to survive, but it must be good enough," he muttered to himself.

In this place where even he couldn't guarantee his own survival, Wen Xishu didn't mind at all getting his hands stained with blood.

He thought about who to kill first.

"Do you want to come over? I think we can analyze some things."

The remaining few people were actually still confused.

Kai En, Mendemuer, Zheng Zai, and Park Meixi only knew that just now, for some reason, Xita had been killed by a monster.

But in such a short time, had Wen Xishu already analyzed clues?

Park Meixi suppressed the fear she felt toward Wen Xishu in her heart and said as friendly and steadily as possible:

"What happened just now? What clues do you know?"

Wen Xishu looked at the music box above; it was placed on the bookshelf.

The desk was three meters high, and the bookshelf was even higher.

However, it wouldn't be difficult for everyone to climb up.

"I'll say a few points; I believe you know them too, Captain. Right?"

"First, the place we entered has an item that needs to be purified, and we possess the ability to purify."

"I don't know if everyone remembers, the first time we ascended the tower, before the account was registered, we went to the mission area and had a temporary identity. For example, I played a rescuer, tasked with rescuing a little girl."

"After the account is registered, the mechanism actually hasn't changed; our way of cutting in is still playing a certain person, only we have our own IDs."

"This time, we are playing exorcists, exorcising the house."

"In all likelihood, that falling parrot is some kind of evil object. It released a curse onto an item."

"Purifying the curse will attract the monster's peeping; if it's correct, it will cause damage to the monster, and if it's wrong, one will be killed by the monster."

"So, how to accurately find that item is what we need to do."

"Before the monster appears, everyone will have a prompt sound in their minds; judging by the women's clothing and that nauseating voice..."

"Some unspeakable sins have occurred in this room. Including but not limited to... violation."

"Also, the monster's eyesight isn't very good. This monster, at least in this room, is easy to hide from. If I trigger the monster, I will die, but you won't; you have enough time to hide."

"So, theoretically, we still have five chances."

"Oh, the monster will disappear after the music box stops singing. I think the music box is very suspicious. At least, for now, the music box hidden on top of the bookshelf, whether it's its presence just now..."

"Or the difficulty of obtaining it in this magnified room—it all looks like the pollutant that can be purified."

"I think, perhaps purifying the music box will allow us to find an item, and then, two people can leave alive."

Park Meixi seemed to understand a bit why Wen Xishu could attract the attention of the upper levels. Just by seeing the monster kill someone once, he had mastered so many clues.

But the problem also appeared at this moment.

Everyone, including Kai En, admitted that Wen Xishu's analysis was very reasonable. They felt things should be like this.

But at this time, not a single person stood out and said:

"I'll purify the music box."

Wen Xishu had long known this point.

No matter how reasonable it sounded, no one would be willing to be that guinea pig.

What if it was wrong?

What if Wen Xishu's analysis was wrong, and the pollutant wasn't that music box? Then the person who went to purify the music box would definitely die.

So everyone fell into silence.

Wen Xishu liked this game too much. Although he was also in danger, the madness in his bones made him feel it was very interesting:

"We should know that the doors outside are constantly approaching; hey, if we just sit here and do nothing, we will all die. Once the doors collide, there will be three more monsters with different mechanisms to kill us."

"I have some confidence in my analytical ability; of course, everyone is also very smart. If you successfully find the pollutant, you don't have to take me; you can let me help the remaining two teammates."

"But the premise is that I don't open the box, but now look, everyone doesn't seem to have the idea of opening the box. Tsk tsk, then I'm going to take action."

"If I open the box, then I will take myself and Mr. Zheng Zai away."

"I believe everyone is very smart and can definitely survive without me."

Kai En, Mendemuer, and Park Meixi all felt a chill in their hearts.

They couldn't analyze these clues in one round; the analytical abilities of the two sides were completely on different levels. It could be said that if Wen Xishu left, they would definitely die.

If Wen Xishu was wrong... in fact, they would only live for a while longer.

They couldn't let Wen Xishu open the box. But if Wen Xishu didn't go? Who else would go? After all, purifying the box oneself would also be dangerous.

Watching everyone want to go but unable to take a step, Wen Xishu was overjoyed.
