Then the influence will deepen further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be unable to sleep, extremely excited, craving work, and hallucinate when I close my eyes.

This fate could very likely happen to Ah Miao as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what about Wu Xiangjiao? He is in a better state than me.

I can only delay its effect on me, but cannot stop it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu opened his eyes and started to imitate Yin Junchi, fetching paper and pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to draw the structure of this building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t rush, don’t rush, my mental state is still fine at the moment, just tired, but my body can hold on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Wen Xishu was a student of Slaughter Tower Academy, his physical foundation was naturally strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in two or three days, I might start to have hallucinations like Yin Junchi next door.

Xiaowu mentioned this one line—he should be an excellent lawyer, with many trophies in his room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would an excellent lawyer be self-abased?

Great, now I fully understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I finally know the meaning of ’seven’! I finally get it!

She laughed heartily, scaring the doctors. Then she woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiangjiao didn’t feel much, he just felt somewhat irritable inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaowu’s skin was red and swollen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped his body frantically with a towel, and only after his skin turned red did he fall asleep, wearing a bathrobe sprayed with disinfectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venerable Wen slapped himself several times in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting was initiated by Ah Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Ah Miao, action no longer seemed so important, as if wasting action points were insignificant, not worth anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When four frames appeared in front of Wen Xishu’s eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu found that except for Wu Xiangjiao, the other three had some problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only the second day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, this building had no monsters chasing them, no immediate death rules... but if they couldn’t find the key point, living here would cause them to unconsciously die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Wen Xishu ultimately decided to try to save these people as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, he needed their help before he found the invitation letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, I wanted to hide this yesterday to slow down the erosion of fear on you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But today, some of you might have already noticed something wrong with yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the meeting began, Wen Xishu spoke directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will first give the conclusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are in a building closely related to ’seven’. We mentioned earlier that this is a sacrificial ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now the new clues point to the fact that the content of the sacrifice is related to the seven deadly sins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiangjiao was puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven deadly sins? Wait, do you mean greed, arrogance, wrath, lust, gluttony, sloth, envy? Are those the seven deadly sins you’re talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you figure that out? These things don’t seem to have anything to do with us or our neighbors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t rush, let me explain slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My neighbor is called Yin Junchi, pen name ’Three Days Two Live Banana Armor’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He must be a very lazy author. The kind who won’t type a single word as long as he has enough money, maybe his readers even think something happened to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His computer is expensive but has little content, his phone mostly receives calls urging for drafts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s definitely a very lazy person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you can’t imagine how diligent he is now, literally to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiangjiao concluded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He corresponds to sloth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then on the 49th floor, I met a mother and son, the mother was very indulgent towards the child, very lenient in everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But according to the child... his mother wasn’t like this before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not long ago, I heard a friend tell a tragic story, her parents sent her to a tutor to study because they were vain and liked to compare her to other children.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many such parents. When other children excel, they feel—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiangjiao interjected:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Envy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded, indeed, as the only one who hadn’t been influenced significantly, Wu Xiangjiao was a good comic relief for the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, she has completely lost her envy, and it has been twisted into a love without any constraints, so there’s no discipline for the child, only boundless indulgence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu paused briefly, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s talk about Xiaowu. According to you, Xiaowu, your neighbor is a lawyer and very excellent, you saw many trophies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might not know, but in the profession of law, true excellence brings confidence from the bones. Confidence is a momentum, how could someone who isn’t confident win cases repeatedly in court?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was misled by the lawyer’s OCD, but in fact, his problem isn’t OCD. Just like Xiaowu, do you now think your problem is OCD?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaowu hesitated, being addressed by Wen Xishu seemed to free him from a certain state, albeit briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Due to fear of being judged for having a dirty home... essentially, it’s not OCD, OCD is aversion to dirt, he’s not averse to dirt, he’s afraid of being judged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like you, Xiaowu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu looked at Wu Xiangjiao, who went \"oh\" in understanding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s self-abasement! He corresponds to arrogance, but now, he’s extremely self-abased!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, congratulations, you got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, I think you all understand now?
