Chapter 56: Parrot's Sorrow Ends

The anti-AFK mechanism in Wen Xishu's mouth came earlier than expected.

In the workplace floor where items were numerous and huge, sweet laughter suddenly came. This laughter should have made people feel comfortable, but it came extremely strangely...

There were no other living things in the workplace except the three, and Park Meixi only felt that the laughter fell on her scalp, creeped out.

She felt a bit cold.

This is not a cold at the spiritual level, but the actual temperature is indeed falling.

After Wen Xishu's speed-run of the first two levels, Park Meixi and Zheng Zai both analyzed it in a decent way.

It's just that the results of the analysis made the mental states of the two completely different.

They both guessed that the key lies in the sentence "worthy of trust, entrust the back."

Zheng Zai's idea is that Wen brother saved me several times, my life was given by him, he is absolutely worthy of trust, absolutely can entrust the back.

Park Meixi is thinking: Zheng Zai has hatred in his heart, he hates the bunker high-level. Wen Xishu also knows my identity...

I am a beauty, but Wen Xishu's attitude towards me is completely different from Zheng Zai... They didn't treat me as a friend at all, and didn't treat me as the same person at all.

Both found the key, but neither found a way to interpret it.

The temperature is still falling, and the laughter has no intention of stopping at all. If the temperature continues to fall, this workplace is a real ice cellar.

Wen Xishu found something wrong:

"Interesting, the previous strangeness can be eliminated, either hide, or record bad things... then how to eliminate the strangeness this time? If this laughter keeps going, I'm afraid the three of us will freeze to death here."

Wen Xishu quickly realized one point—worthy of trust, entrust the back, is this two different prompts?

This is not a coincidence of words that increase momentum, but two different pieces of information.

First, find a teammate worthy of trust... then choose to entrust the back?

The laughter is still going on. Under the influence of the laughter, the three of them are exhaling frost. The temperature dropped too severely.

But the laughter just got louder and louder, and there was no sign of stopping at all. The coldness entered the bones and began to affect the consciousness of the three.

Wen Xishu could barely persist, maintaining clarity and thinking. The other two, although they still had consciousness, could not think about how to break the game.

Wen Xishu said:

"Zheng Zai, Park Meixi, if you want to live, do as I say."

"Next, the three of us will lean back against each other and maintain a posture where the three of us lean back against each other."

Zheng Zai and Park Meixi actually realized that although the laughter was sweet, it brought fatal coldness.

The two were quite convinced of Wen Xishu's words. Zheng Zai could be said to be absolutely convinced, so he immediately chose to entrust his back to Wen Xishu, leaning against Wen Xishu.

Park Meixi was just a beat slow. Seeing that Zheng Zai did this without danger, she immediately pasted it up.

The backs of the three soon pasted together.

Wen Xishu's left is Zheng Zai, and his right is Park Meixi. The three leaned against each other, forming a triangle.

After leaning back against each other, the laughter disappeared. But this coldness did not disappear.

【It's so cold... but it doesn't seem to have become colder... Wen brother is too reliable. Really want to go back to the bunker.】

【This can be considered saved, right? Hey, why can't I speak...】

【Wait, this is Park Meixi's voice!】

After leaning back against each other, Wen Xishu immediately found that the three were in a state of being unable to move.

He was still thinking about how the theme of betrayal would be presented, when he suddenly heard Zheng Zai's voice.

Zheng Zai's inner voice just now was transmitted to Wen Xishu's mind without changing a word.

Zheng Zai is also very confused at the moment, the words in his heart can't be spoken. Because he couldn't open his mouth at all.

And on the other side, Park Meixi's thoughts were transmitted to Zheng Zai's side.

【Why is it still so cold...】

【The laughter seems to have stopped, did Wen Xishu find that item? He is so powerful, he should be able to find the item, right?】

【As long as this level passes, I can go back. After going back, I will never come to the Tower of Mystery again!】

【Wait... this is his voice. Wen Xishu's voice!】

Yes, Park Meixi heard Wen Xishu's inner voice. The content is as follows:

【Just as I guessed, there is no mistake. Entrusting the back is physical. Then will the theme of betrayal also be presented on the back?】

【Backstab... it wouldn't really be thorns growing on the back, right? If it is really like this, it is quite fun.】

【The current situation seems to be testing our degree of trust. Well... wait, I can hear Zheng Zai's voice.】

【So that's it, I understand. Park Meixi, you are listening, right? Is my voice transmitted to you?】

This inner voice of Wen Xishu suddenly startled Park Meixi.

And at this time, the inner voice Zheng Zai heard was like this.

【This monster reacts too fast... I have established a connection with him? He can hear my voice, I can hear his voice?】

【No, maybe it's not like this... Then what about this pervert Zheng Zai? Whose voice does he hear?】

At the same time, Zheng Zai's inner voice was—

【Monster... is she talking about Wen brother? This woman is really ignorant. 】

【Sure enough, in her eyes, I am a pervert... What would Wen brother think of me?】

Zheng Zai's psychological reaction was naturally heard by Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was happy:

【This situation is really interesting. By the way, Park Meixi, I saved you so many times, you call me a monster? Have you ever thought that this inner voice is a voting mechanism?】

These words were transmitted to Park Meixi without changing a word.

Park Meixi was shocked:

【He can also hear my inner voice? What voting mechanism?】

Zheng Zai: 【Wen brother can also hear Park Meixi's inner voice? Anyway, I can hear it... What the hell is a voting mechanism?】

Wen Xishu has completely sorted out the logic.

The effect of the three leaning back against each other is to be able to hear inner voices. The transmission trajectory of inner voices—

Wen Xishu's is transmitted to Park Meixi, Park Meixi's is transmitted to Zheng Zai, and Zheng Zai's is transmitted to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said: 【Zheng Zai is indeed a partner worthy of trust, Park Meixi.】

Park Meixi was stunned:

【Why did he tell me this? He actually believes Zheng Zai from the bottom of his heart? He is really a monster, actually believing that pervert, wait, I can't think like this.】

【He will hear my voice!】

These words were transmitted to Zheng Zai.

Zheng Zai's expression became gloomy:

【I don't want to eat people, I don't want to eat people! Spiritually, I am not a monster! I have already put an iron cover on myself!】

Zheng Zai's words were transmitted to Wen Xishu. Wen Xishu said:

【Park Meixi, do you think there is a hidden story in the case of Zheng Zai's father?】

Park Meixi wanted to hide her inner thoughts, but this is a technical job. Suddenly, she had to not think about certain things, so she had to think about certain things.

【Why does he care so much about Zheng Zai? I don't know much about his father's affairs. What is he planning? Is this what you should think about now? Hurry up and take us away from here!】

【Also, explain quickly, what is a voting mechanism!】

Zheng Zai was a little moved after hearing it:

【Wen brother... he is really going to help me! This woman, I always thought she was pitiful.】

【It turns out that she just treats Wen brother as a tool in her heart? Although I don't know what a voting mechanism is, if I can speak, I will definitely not let Wen brother tell you!】

Wen Xishu is now in an extremely focused state:

【Voting mechanism? Park Meixi, you care about this, I will tell you.】

【Simply put, after the inner voice explosion link, if we have no estrangement or gap in our hearts, we may have a short time to move. Go find the item that needs to be purified.】

【However, regardless of whether there is or not, I guess there will be a link to make a decision on the activities in our hearts just now.】

【Guess what this decision is? Park Meixi, I ask you a question, after you return to the bunker, which officer do you intend to report me to?】

Park Meixi was stunned and subconsciously fell into the trap.

If Wen Xishu asked whether she would report, Park Meixi probably wouldn't think of her superior in her mind.

But Wen Xishu asked which officer she would report him to. At the first moment, Park Meixi thought, who else could it be? There are only...

But when she realized that she couldn't think of that adult, the adult's name had been converted into an inner voice.

【Damn it, this woman actually wants to report Wen brother? She is really a running dog of the bunker!】 Zheng Zai was suddenly angry.

Wen Xishu said:

【A person must learn to control his thoughts accurately. Park Meixi, the game is about to end. I actually gave you many opportunities... If you were smarter, or more sincere, you could have seized the opportunity.】

The game is indeed about to end.

The time is two minutes.

The three leaned back against each other for two minutes. In just two minutes, Wen Xishu had already figured out Zheng Zai and Park Meixi.

This is a confession game.

This confession game is wonderful because it presents the feeling of rock-paper-scissors.

Wen Xishu was the first to sort this out, and also the first to use this transmission mechanism.

Just relying on inner voices, of course, cannot kill people.

This is the Tower of Mystery, every link may kill people, and Wen Xishu had already guessed that after the inner voices were heard, there would be a link used for settlement.

He guessed correctly.

At this time, the prompt had already appeared.

【After experiencing the entrustment of the back, I think you have found the person who is truly worthy of trust. May your friendship last forever.】

【Please recite the name of the person worthy of trust in your heart. Each person can recite several names, but cannot recite their own name.】

【If your name does not appear in anyone's mouth, you will be eliminated.】

As soon as this prompt appeared, some were happy, some were desperate. The three also recovered their ability to act at this moment.

Wen Xishu actually guessed that there would be such a link the moment he heard the inner voice.

That is the so-called scoring link.

In fact, he didn't trust Zheng Zai and Park Meixi, but he didn't struggle with this point at all. Some things just don't weigh four taels if they don't go on the scale.

Once on the scale, a thousand catties can't stop it.

If you struggle with trust, it will lead to no one being able to trust anyone.

When the other party heard the question "Is he worthy of trust," perhaps an equal amount of suspicion was generated.

At this time, you should divert your attention elsewhere.

Park Meixi knelt down:

"Recite my name! Give me another chance! Give me another chance! I trust you, I am worthy of trust!"

She finally realized that she didn't die because she wasn't honest enough, but because she wasn't honest enough... and stupid.

After knowing that inner voices can be transmitted, she should have immediately diverted her attention to think about other things!

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"It's too late, the voting is over."

The gurgling sound of flesh and blood squirming came, Park Meixi's eyes instantly became congested, and her face became abnormally red because of suffocation.

With a pop, she could no longer speak, because a huge meat thorn grew out of her back.

She is now a "backstabber" in the true sense.

Wen Xishu didn't look back, he said:

"Zheng Zai, thank you for your trust. We can return to the bunker. Congratulations on surviving the Tower of Mystery challenge."

Park Meixi died just like that, the meat thorn on her back like a sharp blade piercing through her.

Zheng Zai was stunned and immediately reacted:

"No... don't say that, thank you too. I think she definitely didn't recite our names. If you didn't recite my name, the final link... I would also die, right?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Yes, if I don't recite your name, and you don't recite my name, we will both die."

"This game is to judge whether a person is worthy of trust through inner voices, and at the same time... hand over your life to others."

"Estrangement is actually mutual. If you don't give others a chance to live, others may do the same to you."

Zheng Zai sighed:

"Fortunately... fortunately we are teammates, didn't let her harm you."

At this time, Wen Xishu had already climbed onto an office desk. Although the items in this scene were huge, Wen Xishu was a player who could parkour, and climbing a building was not a problem.

He found the item that needed to be purified, the group photo. Tang Rui mentioned this graduation group photo, which was placed on her desk.

He touched the group photo and decisively purified this item.

Zheng Zai was originally a little worried, but as the prompt in his mind appeared, he was completely relieved.

【Congratulations, you successfully survived in the trial Parrot's Sorrow, and participated in all scenes. You are about to return to the guide to receive the task rating and rewards.】

This is the prompt in Zheng Zai's mind. Zheng Zai breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt very tired.

Although this tower climbing was smooth, he knew that several links were very thrilling. All relied on Wen Xishu.

He decided that after returning to the bunker, he must find a way to see Wen Xishu and express his gratitude. If he got any supplies and rewards this time, he was willing to give them to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu didn't know Zheng Zai's good intentions. He also received the prompt at this moment, but the prompt was different from Zheng Zai's.

【You purified all the items, and each item was found by you. Obtained special prop 【Letter from Outside—Tang Rui】, this letter contains special items, go to the guide to view.】

【Favorability with Strange—Tang Rui increased to 100.】

【Your frequent exploration of the Tower of Mystery and high-completion exploration have attracted the attention of more than one special existence.】

【Strange—Gemini favorability +1, Strange—Virgo favorability +1.】

【Unlocked Slaughter—Tang Rui recruitment conditions. Slaughter—Tang Rui favorability increased to 100.】

【You have completed the Parrot's Sorrow series of tasks. You are about to go to the Three Towers guide to get the task rating and query rewards.】

The watch began to shrink, as if biting on Wen Xishu's hand. At this moment, the world in Wen Xishu's eyes began to shake, and that familiar feeling came.

He and Zheng Zai disappeared at the same time.
