Only the knowledge that a girl named Anya had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Charlie was very cowardly, not making any changes before Anya died.

The floor was full of cracks, through which dizzying alleys below could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing worth noting in the top floor was a tape recorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The static noise Wen Xishu heard earlier was coming from this device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to have decayed, eroded by the dust tears of the Hanged Man, producing a sizzling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought for a moment and decided to repair the tape recorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He touched the area covered by dust tears, flicking the tears away, which caused some pain to Wen Xishu as those tears were corrosive enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu's strength was such that he could easily withstand such pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, after the dust tears were cleared away, the tape recorder started playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the sound of a dog barking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including but not limited to barking, and those whining sounds of acting spoiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huohua, Huohua, you're the only one who doesn't despise me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huohua, Huohua, we'll always be best friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huohua, I named my teddy bear Huohua too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If one day... I can't hold on, please wag your tail for me, and I will live on for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, it was Charlie's voice on the tape recorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlie sounded a bit choked with sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu remembered the images he saw when touching the envelope, among them was a stack of failed exam papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the ridicule of many peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps these were pressures from his childhood? Under this stressful environment, he began to collapse, channeling his emotions onto a dog named Huohua.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tape recorder continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the last sound played by the recorder was Charlie's cries of despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...

I bought you expensive children's clothes, a watch that your classmates envy, and had teachers tutor you privately, not for you to befriend a dog!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad... it's… it's really almost dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charlie, this dog might be fifty bucks on the market? No, maybe cheaper. Do you know how expensive the reference books I bought you are? If you want a dog, fine, I can buy you an expensive purebred one, as long as you win a gold medal in the next math competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The static noise came, after a burst of sizzling static, the tape recorder played the earliest sounds again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the sound of Charlie's only friend, the deceased dog \"Huohua.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the dog's whining on the tape recorder now, Wen Xishu felt it was no longer whining, but the last gentle goodbye from Charlie's only friend in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu finally knew how to fill the ever-hungry stomach of the glutton demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the unsent letter addressed to Anya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put it in his pocket as if it were an item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This letter should be an important item for clearing other chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But next, Wen Xishu did another thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He searched in the clock tower for a while, found some needle and thread, and also found the eye of the teddy bear \"Huohua\" in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>",945,"2026-06-03T11:13:02.243Z","2026-06-03T11:13:09.488Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d5e9ae897022453de5043ab566dd8f51e524b29e406e60d9f64271ebf22d83f","three-towers-game-chapter-1085","three-towers-game-chapter-1083",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
