You're wearing a ring, is that your tactic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ming's observational skills slightly surprised Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's eyes carried a light sadness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's my wife's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ming said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look... rather young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the apocalypse, everyone could die at any moment. Loving someone shouldn't leave regrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Chen paused for two seconds:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about your wife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's dead. I said, loving someone shouldn't leave regrets, otherwise... an insurmountable gulf might emerge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu laughed self-deprecatingly, at this moment his deep affection was beyond question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those without love have nothing to fear, so from now on, I won't be easily scared by these ghostly things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shall try to avoid death, but if one day it must come, I won't mind too much. But I hope to die understanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu knew that even in lying, a point must be made. The ring set with Starlight's dice has many explanations, but since Dr. Chen focused on the deceased wife…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could first create a \"commonality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, although Dr. Chen didn't say he would spare Wen Xishu, he clearly became curious about Wen Xishu's past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's how information works; you give it, often the other person will respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Chen said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did she die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu answered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killed by a guy named Sagittarius. Since you've seen Aquarius, you ought to know there are twelve such individuals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately, I have no way to seek revenge against Sagittarius, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Chen genuinely didn't know, having only seen Aquarius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Aquarius was formidable, but had no concept of the other star signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, today it's hard for you to leave here. But in the future, if I encounter the Sagittarius you speak of, I'll find a way to avenge you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded very seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I pray he knows to come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Dr. Chen finally opened up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My wife and I met at this bar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said nothing, but had already adopted a listening posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stage was now given to Wen Xishu and Chen Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the protagonists of this showdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Zhou, Xiaoya, and Ah Fei, dared not make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Fei and Xiaoya felt that Teacher Wen wouldn't just give up, and feared saying something that might interrupt Teacher Wen's rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ming's narration continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The story of her and I is endless. In short, I loved her. With her, every day's joy was brought by her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I started to feel that the entirety of life's meaning was in making her happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But such a person left me. Do you know, as a doctor, what my greatest regret is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's that I couldn't save my wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ming looked at Wen Xishu; Wen Xishu's act was thorough. At this moment, he returned Chen Ming with a knowing look. Chen Ming felt he could sense some of his pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A desire to confide arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's eyes carried some old melancholy and reminiscence, gazing at the ring on his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ming continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back when the city hadn't lost order, many eerie anecdotes appeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard a baby's cries at midnight? Heard footsteps from the morgue or an old person's cough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And many, many more terror stories fitting people's stereotypical impressions, all turning into reality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suddenly realized one thing, that the world was going haywire. Something familiar yet non-existent, a story or legend…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were gradually becoming real. I even received messages saying some cities have zombies now, in one city vampires appeared…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Odd things began happening in hospitals too, all aligning with those overly familiar stories told by the nurses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thus, I realized, the world was set for significant change. A transformation subverting human cognition, yet matching part of their imagination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things existing in people's imagination are reviving. Like what's written in those novels, the revival of spiritual energy... no, reality should be called fantasy revival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, fantasy has revived. All sorts of bizarre things invading reality, the world begins to descend into chaos, I guess maybe soon after, cities will lose order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, it was confirmed, my guess was right. The world's end came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had to admit, Dr. Chen was indeed perceptive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But oddly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't the \"fantasy revival\" around him seem a bit too easy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Dr. Chen had something on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, what Dr. Chen disclosed next verified Wen Xishu's conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out Dr. Chen, had seen more than one star sign, only unaware that he had seen another fellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When all those bizarre anomalies across the globe awakened, my first reaction was delight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I'd never heard of any resurrection tales, the stories of ghosts were familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If everyone acknowledges the existence of ghosts, then ghosts truly exist, on Longxia's continent, there's always been this saying about the Ghost Festival night parade of thousands, it's great, perhaps then I could see my wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To accomplish this, I began incessantly reinforcing the presence of ghosts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know when the apocalypse came, but before the cities lost order... which place was the busiest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",859,"2026-06-03T11:13:02.243Z","2026-06-03T11:13:09.488Z",1,"novelbin.me","86e948748eca4ac2ed2238a1422acdf084079db44b0bdfbcb0947bcf2840fa2d","three-towers-game-chapter-1052","three-towers-game-chapter-850",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
