Ever since his father was arrested, it has been a very, very long time since the world has shown him any kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to the others, this scene is absolutely terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the jade-like arms of Park Yingshuang, which countless upper-class people once adored... goosebumps have even appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man-eating monster, and a pervert with a smile on his face who greets the monster and even takes the initiative to feed it meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Park Yingshuang felt that Wen Xishu's history was fabricated and that he wasn't someone with mental issues. But now, in her eyes, Wen Xishu is not just \"a little\" problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane is also breaking out in a cold sweat; liking to decorate oneself with the gravity of one's crimes, when in reality one is just using the reputation to package oneself, is not something a truly strong person would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the feeling Wen Xishu gives him is that of a strong person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deranged strong person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene does not last long, because Zheng Zai has already stood up, and he says to Wen Xishu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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 before. I think I can help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He says thank you twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu just waves his hand. After thinking it over, Wen Xishu decides to continue killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are four rooms in total, and according to the mission description, there should be four items that need to be purified. Four rooms should also correspond to four different mechanisms for finding things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, Wen Xishu does not change his original plan—to kill all his teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It depends on your performance; if it's good enough, it's not impossible to survive, but it must be good enough,\" he thinks to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a place where he cannot even guarantee his own survival, Wen Xishu does not mind at all having blood on his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thinks about who to kill first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to come over? I think we can analyze some things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the group is actually still bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane, Mendemuer, Zheng Zai, and Park Yingshuang only know that just a moment ago, for some reason, Sita was killed by a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in such a short time, has Wen Xishu already analyzed the clues?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Yingshuang suppresses the fear she feels toward Wen Xishu and says as kindly and steadily as she can:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What just happened? What clues have you found?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu looks at the music box above; it is placed on the bookshelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The table is three meters high, and the bookshelf is even higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is not difficult for everyone to climb up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll state a few points, and I believe you, Captain, know them too. Right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, in this place we have entered, there exists an item that needs to be purified, and we possess the ability to purify.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know if you all remember, but the first time we climbed the tower, before our accounts were registered, we went to the mission area and had a temporary identity. For example, I played a rescuer, tasked with rescuing a little girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the account is registered, the mechanism hasn't actually changed; our entry method is still playing a certain person, only now we have our own IDs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, we are playing exorcists, here to exorcise the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In all likelihood, that fallen parrot is some kind of evil entity. It released a curse onto a certain item.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Purifying the curse will attract the monster's attention. If we are right, it will cause damage to the monster; if we are wrong, we will be killed by the monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, how to accurately find that item is what we must do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the monster appears, each of us will have a prompt in our minds. Based on the women's clothing and that nauseating sound...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some unspeakable sins have occurred in this room. Including but not limited to... assault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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 will have enough time to hide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, theoretically, we still have five chances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, the monster will disappear after the music box stops playing. I think the music box is very suspicious. At the very least, looking at it now, the music box hidden on top of the bookshelf, regardless of its presence just now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or the difficulty of reaching its location in this oversized room—it all seems like the pollutant that can be purified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think that perhaps purifying the music box will allow us to find one item, and then, two people can leave alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Yingshuang seems to understand a little why Wen Xishu is able to attract the attention of the upper echelons. Just by seeing the monster kill someone once, he has grasped so many clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, a problem has also emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, including Kane, admits that Wen Xishu's analysis is very reasonable. They feel that things must be exactly as he says.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, no one steps forward to say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will purify the music box.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu has known this for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how reasonable his words are, no one is willing to be the lab rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he is wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Wen Xishu's analysis is wrong and the pollutant is not that music box? Then the person who goes to purify the music box will definitely die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, everyone falls into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu loves this game too much. Although he is also in danger, the madness in his bones makes him feel this is very interesting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should know that the doors outside are constantly closing in. Hey, if we just stand here dazed, we will all die. Once the doors collide, there will be three more monsters with different mechanisms coming to kill us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some confidence in my analytical ability. Of course, you are all very smart too. If you successfully find the pollutant, you don't have to take me with you; you can let me help the remaining two teammates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that premise is that I don't open the box, but looking at it now, it seems none of you have any intention of opening the box. Tsk tsk, then I guess I'll have to take action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I open the box, then I will take myself and Mr. Zheng Zai with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you are all very smart and will definitely be able to survive without me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane, Mendemuer, and Park Yingshuang all feel a chill in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn't be able to analyze these clues in a single round; the analytical capabilities of both sides are not on the same level at all. It can be said that if Wen Xishu leaves, they will surely die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wen Xishu is wrong... in fact, they would only be living a little longer anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cannot let Wen Xishu open the box. But if Wen Xishu doesn't go? Who else would? After all, purifying the box oneself also carries danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching everyone want to go but being unable to take a step, Wen Xishu is delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1337,"2026-06-20T04:46:41.185Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ee5f17d3b77ba6c48f1bab85bd6a65ea14ebb5ff59057bcb4f50d45b790abb99","the-three-towers-game-chapter-44","the-three-towers-game-chapter-42",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
