Chapter 54: Speed-running the Tower of Mystery

On the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Desire, Wen Xishu found Jack and helped Jack solve the "Breaker" hiding in the dark.

So, the rescue of Jennifer, which originally belonged to the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Mystery, became escorting Jennifer.

Facts have proved that after changing the fate trajectory of the Tower of Desire characters, the overall ending of the Tower of Mystery can also be changed.

It was like this last time, and it was like this this time. The things Wen Xishu was originally confused about, after touching the invitation letter, instantly had an answer.

【Due to the changes in the plot of the Tower of Desire, the Tower of Mystery level 6 "Parrot's Sorrow" will be restarted.】

【All players currently participating in this task (except for the invitation letter holders) will have their memory modules changed simultaneously.】

【Memory module changing.】

【The Tower of Mystery starts logic repair simulation.】

【Simulation starts.】

【After that extremely crazy rainy night, the parrot is no longer a parrot. Its wings are strong and powerful, and it can finally fly to the sky.】

【It's just that the wounds deep in the soul can never heal, and the items hidden in the three rooms still need to be purified.】

【The destined betrayal and abandonment did not come, Slaughter—Tang Rui completed the ascension journey, and the fourth door disappeared completely.】

【In the area of Jiangcheng, Strange—Tang Rui built her own territory with the fear deep in her heart through the sequence.】

【The apocalypse is coming, and all creatures with Strange and Slaughter prefixes will divide their own domains and will not easily touch other equal existences.】

【Anyone who breaks into the domain without permission has the risk of being killed.】

【In Strange—Tang Rui's domain, there are three items that need to be purified. That is a puzzle that only specific people can solve. She is waiting for the arrival of that person.】

【She left a gift for that person.】

【On this day, you received a task to go to that domain. This is the guidance of fate, but only those with opportunity and wisdom can walk out of the domain.】

Simulation ends.

The world in front of Wen Xishu began to disintegrate. This is a sign of being about to be transmitted back to the Tower of Mystery.

Many guesses emerged in his mind.

"So Tang Rui really forgave her parents in the near future, and therefore encountered a betrayal that hurt her vitality."

"This is also the fourth door. This betrayal made her more incomplete, and from then on became another nature of Slaughter—Tang Rui."

"So, what I did prevented the arrival of the fourth despair, so... the fourth door disappeared. No wonder Tang Rui said in the truth that there was no fourth time. It turned out that the fourth time had not yet arrived. Of course, it is impossible to arrive now."

"Next, I only need to explore three scenes. Well, this last sentence 'only those with opportunity and wisdom can walk out of the domain'..."

"Wise people refer to those who can piece together the clues of the Tower of Mystery and solve the puzzle, right."

"And those with opportunity... wait, the person with opportunity wouldn't be me, right?"

The brain began to feel dizzy frantically. Everything in Wen Xishu's vision disintegrated and then recombined. Countless white lines constructed the scenes in the Tower of Mystery.

When Wen Xishu's brain no longer felt dizzy, he had returned to his original position. What caught his eyes were the familiar scenes and—the familiar barrage.

【I want revenge! I want revenge! I want revenge!】

Park Meixi still maintained the expression of heartache for Zheng Zai, and Zheng Zai still maintained the pain of hammering the ground with both fists.

Wen Xishu's consciousness also finally returned from the Tower of Desire to the Tower of Mystery. Whether he was the person with opportunity or not, it didn't matter in itself.

What matters is that at this moment, he knows how to clear the Tower of Mystery.

He took a deep breath:

"Zheng Zai, stop hammering the ground. No matter what you want to do, you must survive first."

This is also a quasi-killer, Wen Xishu evaluated Zheng Zai like this.

If Zheng Zai were Strange—Zheng Zai, Wen Xishu would be very happy to analyze the case of Zheng Zai's father and resolve the knot in Zheng Zai's heart.

But it's a pity that Zheng Zai belongs to the bunker, and everyone will return to the bunker. To run wild in the bunker, there is still a long way to go.

However, he will definitely settle the things that the bunker upper levels did to him.

In this position, Zheng Zai is actually a person suitable for winning over.

It's just that Wen Xishu still has to observe Zheng Zai further.

"I sympathize with your experience, and I will bring you back alive. Now you have to tidy up your emotions, understand?" Wen Xishu said kindly.

He had switched back to his other side, probably similar to Strange—Wen Xishu.

"But we... only have three people now. This room is too big. Either the room has been enlarged, or we have been shrunk. In short, now we are in such a big room, it's very difficult to find that pollutant..."

It was Park Meixi who spoke.

Park Meixi was not wrong. If you look for it one by one, clearing the level will be very difficult, because the Tower of Mystery has an anti-AFK mechanism.

According to Wen Xishu's analysis, this anti-AFK mechanism will make their range of activities smaller and smaller.

Wen Xishu said:

"The answer is actually very simple. I already know what the item that needs to be purified is."

Park Meixi was startled, and Zheng Zai also turned his head, looking at this teenager who was several years younger than him with some awe.

"You know what the item is, so you really... were deliberately letting Kane and Mendemuller and the others..."

Park Meixi said the conclusion she had already guessed.

Wen Xishu said:

"Yes, they are too evil, and everyone's sin is very heavy. I don't cooperate with them."

"Before I solve the puzzle here, I need to ask you one thing. How many doors were there when we came in at the beginning?"

Zheng Zai and Park Meixi were a bit confused, because this question was too simple.

"Three... three doors? Why ask this?" Park Meixi said.

Wen Xishu thought to himself, sure enough, except for himself who had the invitation letter, the memories of others were replaced.

He wanted to test the effect of the invitation letter last time. Although the prompt was prompted, some things still had to be tested by himself.

This result still made Wen Xishu feel shocked.

Because in the Three Towers, bunker people can change the fate trajectory of Three Towers people and anchor memories...

But if you analyze the whole thing in reverse, can it also be seen as—the Three Towers are actually changing the memories of bunker people?

Under the effect of the Crazy Dice, Wen Xishu can use the rules and powers of other Two Towers in the Tower of Desire.

But in the bunker, except for specific areas, even the Crazy Dice cannot play a role.

The bunker seems to be a tower more confined than the Tower of Desire.

However, these guesses are too far away, and Wen Xishu quickly returned his thoughts to reality:

"Well, no problem. Okay, let's get down to business. This is a study. There are many exercises placed here. If we study the exercises, we will find that these questions are competition questions."

Zheng Zai widened his eyes, admiring him very much, mainly because—even if his academic performance was fairly good, he didn't know these were competition questions.

Because the bunker has canceled learning competitions for a long time.

This point is the same for Park Meixi. Park Meixi didn't know much about Wen Xishu, and she was also doing homework temporarily after receiving the task.

Only knowing that the second young master of the Wen family is a madman, but now it seems... he is not crazy, and like Wen Renjing, he has a lot of knowledge about the Tower of Desire world.

The difficulty of the exercises for students in the early bunker was very high, because among the first people to enter the bunker, there was a person named Mr. Jin, who was a proper Longxia person.

He is an existence on par with Albert Napolitano. Later, it seems that he went to the Senate and became mysterious.

It is also because of Mr. Jin that the language of the bunker is not Italian but Longxia language. This is why everyone speaks the same language.

Early Mr. Jin relied on his powerful strength to unify various decrees, unify languages, unify bunker currencies, and unify bunker culture.

However, there is one point, Longxia people are too powerful in learning ability.

They are not even satisfied with ordinary exercises and started doing more advanced exercises, that is, competition questions.

The most outrageous thing is that the kind of "rolling" engraved in the bones of Longxia people leads to an abnormally high intensity of learning for children.

The exam is too difficult, and the beneficiaries are only the batch of people who can do the questions. And the selection of various high-level positions must be selected from the batch of people with good grades.

As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity but worry about inequality. So under collective protest, the difficulty of various exams in the bunker was reduced a lot, from the standard difficulty of Longxia Huanggang level to the easy difficulty of the Free Country happy education level.

Various hell-level exercise competitions were also canceled.

Of course, there is another main reason for this magical reality—the bunker's requirements for culture are not too harsh. The core need of the bunker is to cultivate people who can explore the Three Towers.

In Park Meixi's view, Wen Xishu's generation could not have come into contact with those obscure knowledge, so it must have been learned from the Three Towers world outside the bunker.

In her heart, her awe of Wen Xishu is deeper, which shows that Wen Xishu's time node for exploring the Three Towers is very early.

"Observe the structure of the study, combine the lines when the monster appears, and... that piece of women's clothing, and the music of the music box to judge comprehensively."

"The music box is destined not to be the item that needs to be purified, because it is just a means for the girl to cover up her screams when she is hurt."

"Its existence does not have source-ness."

Wen Xishu is looking at the problem with the answer, he said:

"The item that really needs to be purified is the award certificate that we ignored at the beginning."

In fact, when everyone came in for the first time, they noticed such elements—

There are pen holders, trophies, many books on the bookshelf, desks, office desks, chairs, award certificates, music boxes in the room...

Park Meixi and Zheng Zai seem to have guessed something.

Wen Xishu nodded and said:

"This child came here for tutoring and suffered harm. The root cause is that her parents hope she can win an award."

"For her, that is an award certificate carrying sin. It is the product of vanity gathering. It is also the source of her suffering."

The feeling of looking at the problem with the answer is inexplicably cool. This time Wen Xishu didn't play the game of "who goes to die."

He walked towards the award certificate himself, full of confidence. But no matter what, in Park Meixi's eyes, this scene is still a bit crazy.

Does he really... not doubt his judgment at all?

Yes, Wen Xishu does not doubt his judgment at all. After all, he has already cleared the hidden task of the Tower of Desire.

【This item hides sin that cannot be let go, are you sure you want to purify it?】

Wen Xishu didn't hesitate and chose to purify.

The moment his hand touched the award certificate, Park Meixi almost didn't dare to look.

Zheng Zai's eyes were shining, as if he had re-recognized Wen Xishu. The awe in his eyes was deeper.

No black smoke appeared, no monster appeared, and the music box didn't ring.

Everything was so calm. Until a prompt appeared in everyone's mind.

【In your team, someone has already solved the puzzle and is about to go to the next room.】

And the prompt Wen Xishu received was:

【You have found an item that has been polluted. You can choose to end the Three Towers game early and go to the location of the guide, or you can choose to take a teammate with you and go back together.】

【Or, do you want to continue deep into the game?】

Park Meixi looked at Wen Xishu pleadingly. She actually hoped that Wen Xishu could take her away from here and return to the bunker.

Wen Xishu knew what was in Park Meixi's mind, but he didn't intend to let Park Meixi go.

A door appeared in the center of the room, standing straight. This means that this scene has ended.

Wen Xishu said:

"Let's go, don't waste time, let's go to the second door and strive to return to the bunker in an hour."

"Zheng Zai, are you willing to accompany me to collect all the items?"

Zheng Zai felt his blood boiling. He really liked Wen Xishu's kind of madness. He nodded hard:

"I'll listen to you!"

Park Meixi looked at Wen Xishu deeply, knowing that she couldn't leave.

She only hoped that she could survive in the hands of this pervert. Even if she had to serve Wen Xishu with her body, it would be fine.

After the strange door in the middle of the huge study appeared, Wen Xishu was also the first to step into the door.

"Too much courage and talent... he wouldn't really be Wen Xishu, right?"

This thought suddenly flashed in Zheng Zai's mind. Because it was too outrageous, Zheng Zai felt it was impossible.

Park Meixi was the last to enter the strange door standing in the middle of the room.

The second scene, as Wen Xishu thought, is the bedroom.

This bedroom is located in that old residential area in Jiangcheng, where Tang Fangtian and Cheng Yingna live.

The bedroom is a standard girl's bedroom. Clearly, there should be a family atmosphere here, but it was forcibly piled up with various books and various exercise books.

There are many items, but you can't find anything like a plush toy.

There is a guitar in the corner, but it is broken. On the desk in the bedroom, there is a bowl of carefully brewed sweet soup.

It exudes a black breath, making everyone notice it at first glance.

Different from the first scene—this time Wen Xishu, Park Meixi, and Zheng Zai all held paper and pens in their hands.

This is the initial prop.

"This second scene looks narrower than the first scene... but we seem to have become smaller. The actual space has become larger."

It was Zheng Zai who spoke. Zheng Zai noticed that compared to the last scene, the objects in this scene had become larger.

"Do you think that bowl of soup is the item we are looking for?" Park Meixi looked at Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu smiled:

"You can try it. Actively purifying items will give you extra points with me."

Park Meixi of course didn't dare. Now she is completely in a state of being honest and begging for mercy.

Zheng Zai said:

"Why don't I try it?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"Zheng Zai, don't worry."

Wen Xishu actually knew what the answer was, and it was definitely not that bowl of sweet soup.

The sweet soup exuding a black breath is the medicine that destroyed the girl's dream. After that, the girl's voice became hoarse.

This is very painful, but the root cause of the real pain is not here. That is like the music box, just a cover.

Wen Xishu chose to wait because he wanted to see what kind of means this round of anti-AFK mechanism would be.

He didn't wait too long.

Soon the black breath in the room began to condense, and Park Meixi was so scared that her legs went soft and she almost couldn't stand firm.

Unlike the last time it was black tentacles, this time, what appeared in the room... was countless eyes.

In the air, on the walls, on the ceiling, on the bed, and even in the drawers. Under the gaze of these eyes, there were no dead corners in the room.

"Tentacles symbolize sex and violence. Eyes symbolize absolute control."

"She has experienced devastation and has also experienced surveillance."

Wen Xishu thought silently in his heart. Tang Rui's past was indeed depressing.

"What should we do... like the last round, hide?" Park Meixi looked at Wen Xishu for help.

Zheng Zai found that there was no way to avoid it, so he thought about blocking in front of Wen Xishu, attracting as many eyes as possible.

Wen Xishu saw the actions of the two.

【Our good child, you have to develop the habit of keeping a diary. Everything in school, whether good or bad, must be written down.】

The prompt appeared in everyone's mind.

Wen Xishu was actually waiting for this. He had to act a bit, otherwise, if he purified the item as soon as he entered the room, it would be too fake.

"But this prompt is too simple and direct." Wen Xishu thought.

At the same time, Wen Xishu said:

"I already know everything. Later, whatever I say, you do."
