Chapter 45: Pleading

Wen Xishu had a guess: the people in the bunker came from the Three Towers World.

The Three Towers World was not originally in the Three Towers, but a real existing world, and places like Moen City and Jiangcheng could be compared to the original world before his transmigration.

He didn't know what customs the place where Mendemuer was from in the Three Towers World had.

But in his original world, the status of women in the Middle East was very low.

People there would only be more exaggerated in their discrimination against women than white trash like Kai En. But Mendemuer's description was that he was bullied by women and forced to leave with nothing...

If the women in the bunker really had such high status, there wouldn't be a large number of existences like Park Meixi. Nor would there be scum like Kai En who trafficked female organs.

So, unless Mendemuer had committed atrocities, he wouldn't have been judged so miserably.

The second person Wen Xishu wanted to kill was Mendemuer.

Mendemuer climbed very fast. His climbing ability was not inferior to Kai En's; after the stimulation just now, he didn't want to care about whether Wen Xishu was also pretending.

He just wanted to get rid of this place quickly! He couldn't be like Kai En, hesitating and failing.

That was indeed what he thought, and he quickly reached the music box.

Kai En's flesh had long been stirred into pieces by the tentacles. This pile of flesh lay in front of the music box; one could see that Kai En wanted to reach out and touch it, and one finger was still lying on the ground, pointing at the box.

Mendemuer rushed over.

When his hand touched the music box, a different prompt appeared in his mind.

【You have found an item; it has traces of massive sin on it. Do you want to purify it?】

The difference from the previous prompt was that before "sin," a modifier "massive" appeared.

This made Mendemuer firmly believe that he had found the correct item.

He was ecstatic, thinking about whether to take that Wen Xishu away; after all, that kid also analyzed very correctly.

But then he thought, the person that kid wanted to take away was that pervert who ate human flesh; thinking of Wen Xishu rolling up his sleeves to feed meat to Zheng Zai...

He immediately denied this thought.

Mendemuer prepared to leave, but what happened next made his smile freeze forever.

"Sav—"

Before he could shout the word "me," a large mass of black smoke had already enveloped Mendemuer.

Those eerie tentacles wriggled joyfully for this suddenly arrived flesh. Mendemuer's body was like a tentacle nest.

He died.

He died with huge fear, hesitation, and doubt. The music box's sound was high-pitched, seemingly cheering for these dead people.

Hearing the music box ring, hearing the sound of flesh being torn apart that had appeared several times in a short time—

Park Meixi knelt on the ground with a thud, her eyes full of despair.

"We... we will all die, right?"

Park Meixi muttered to herself, on the verge of collapse.

This was only the first room, and only a short while had passed, yet the six-person team had become a three-person team.

Now, only Park Meixi, a madman Wen Xishu, and a flesh-eating pervert Zheng Zai remained alive.

Park Meixi now regretted it very much; why did she take this mission?

Not long after, the music box returned to silence.

Wen Xishu said:

"Let's go. According to the path of the anti-AFK mechanism that appeared last time—the next anti-AFK mechanism should be here where we are staying now. Let's climb to the middle layer of the bookshelf and find a new hiding place."

Wen Xishu was very calm.

Park Meixi suddenly grabbed Wen Xishu's hand, her eyes carrying a bit of earnestness:

"Don't... don't kill me, okay? Wen Xishu, I know it's you... please, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Zheng Zai looked at Wen Xishu with some confusion.

Park Meixi had already realized that it was Wen Xishu who was using the rules to kill people. She had seen the smile at the corner of Wen Xishu's mouth not long ago.

This made her shiver.

But Zheng Zai was still relatively honest.

When Mendemuer dragged Wen Xishu down, Zheng Zai wanted to rush up to help Wen Xishu.

But a look and a head-shaking action from Wen Xishu stopped Zheng Zai.

Later, when Mendemuer died, Zheng Zai only felt that Wen Xishu had guessed wrong...

It turned out that the pollutant to be purified was not the music box.

He was even a bit grateful to Wen Xishu for saving his life again.

But Park Meixi gradually realized—Wen Xishu was using the rules to kill people.

He might not have done it himself, but he used words to guide, leading teammates to their deaths one by one.

Park Meixi still had some brains, and she also knew that Wen Xishu himself was a very capable person.

Once there was the fact that Wen Xishu brought back the Level 6 hospital as a foundation, Park Meixi held a skeptical attitude toward the fact that Wen Xishu was a madman or a fool in the past.

She even felt that the other party was playing the pig to eat the tiger, and was truly enduring.

And the smile Wen Xishu had not long ago made Park Meixi immediately understand everything.

More dangerous than the rules was this teenager!

"I, I promise, I absolutely stand on your side, Wen Xishu, let me go... take me away from here, okay?"

Wen Xishu's gaze was very cold; he stood with his back to Zheng Zai, looking at Park Meixi kneeling on the ground with an extremely indifferent gaze.

Park Meixi's eyes gradually lost their light.

She understood that she had already played her cards, but the other party still didn't take the bait... which meant that Wen Xishu had made up his mind to kill everyone.

Even, even if he exposed his intentions, it wouldn't have any impact.

At this moment, Wen Xishu's image became somewhat terrifying.

She had entangled with so many high-level political figures; weren't those people all human spirits?

But looking at Wen Xishu, she felt that this was a demon. A person with a devil hidden in his heart.

However, next, Wen Xishu still spoke:

"Captain, I don't understand what you are talking about; what let you go? But you should get up first."

"Besides this room, there are three other different scenes."

"I don't have the confidence to figure out all the rules without relying on teammates."

"The Mysterious Tower is really terrifying... so many people died as soon as we came in; I really don't want anyone else to die, and you are the same, right? But then again—"

"There are still many rules to come, I have to be careful, don't analyze them wrong and harm you all."

Park Meixi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was Wen Xishu warning her, and at the same time giving her a chance.

She nodded frantically, like a puppy trying to please its master:

"I will be useful to you! You can ask me, I will tell you everything I know! I know about him! I've heard about his dad! I can tell you everything!"

Park Meixi didn't want to care about any missions anymore. She just wanted to live now.

She also confirmed that Wen Xishu actually saw through her identity.

She no longer dared to underestimate this teenager. Her hand pointed at Zheng Zai.

Actually, Park Meixi wasn't very sure before, but now, in order to live, she had to ensure she had value.

She felt that Wen Xishu seemed to care more about Zheng Zai; although Zheng Zai was a pervert, Zheng Zai had tried to purify items several times, but was stopped by Wen Xishu.

So she began to frantically think if there were any clues about Zheng Zai, and if any of the officials she had slept with had mentioned Zheng Zai.

Fear and the desire to survive made Park Meixi's brain become much sharper.

She really did remember some things; although not sure, it was enough to prove her value.

Zheng Zai said with confusion:

"You... you know about my affairs?"

Wen Xishu was actually thinking about what the true "pollutant" was.

If it wasn't the music box, what would it be?

He wasn't very interested in Zheng Zai's past, but he still did a favor:

"Captain, tell him everything you know."

Wen Xishu didn't care about these things; his hand had already reached toward the invitation letter.
