He didn't even ask who the person was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good people, before they are pushed to the point of inner eruption by being wronged, are truly unpretentious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do need a little help, Jack. But I believe we can help each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was somewhat surprised that the other person knew his name:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... how can I help you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu seemed very approachable; his sitting posture was casual and relaxed, while Jack appeared a bit stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax a bit, Jack. I can be considered a friend of both you and Jennifer. You just need to answer a few questions for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it that simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's that simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were like a psychologist and a patient, and Jack was clearly the patient with some symptoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, as a reward, I think I can help you get closer to Jennifer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack's eyes lit up immediately, but thinking about his impending death, the happiness didn't seem to last long, and that light quickly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu noticed this; he was very familiar with such changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, when he engaged in some extremely dangerous sports, he would encounter people with dull eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people engage in extreme sports for the thrill. Others do it to die in a respectable manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In bungee jumping, you always encounter a type of person who jumps whether it's seventy meters or three hundred meters, as if they no longer have any attachment to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem very despondent, it seems the illness has hit you hard. But Jack, maybe your illness isn't what you think it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, consider me a doctor, and be honest with me. Just think of everything as being for Jennifer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wen Xishu mentioned Jennifer, Jack no longer had doubts or guarded against him. He had always lacked that instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, what do you want to ask? I truly don't have long to live. I think... no matter how skilled the doctor is, they can't change my situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, I don't have money. But no matter what you want to ask, if I know, I will tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was very honest, and Wen Xishu had to admit that his luck wasn't too bad; having Jack as the core figure of his first mission greatly reduced the difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you like Yulia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's first question was extremely direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't like Yulia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack's answer did not surprise Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulia's importance actually didn't stem from herself but from the fact that she was Jennifer's mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Remian thought you liked Yulia, but in fact, you just wanted to get closer to Jennifer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack now believed more that Wen Xishu knew Jennifer; he was very sincere:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is a good kid, she makes people feel happy, makes the world seem less awful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu agreed; although he didn't know Jennifer well, in the Deceit Tower, he unexpectedly felt that Jennifer was a good kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Jennifer also likes to be with you,\" Wen Xishu added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack shook his head uncertainly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don't know, I just like being with her, this is somewhat selfish because this relationship just makes me happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I... don't know if Jennifer is happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As far as I know, Yulia is quite attractive. If she lived in a women's fiction novel, she might indeed wait for some low-IQ domineering CEO who falls in love with her, despite her being a divorced single mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But she definitely doesn't lack men who are willing to show her affection. Among these men, including Remian, they should also treat Little Jennifer well, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack nodded lightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, everyone loves Little Jennifer. Who could have ill intentions towards her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although you are not sure if Little Jennifer also likes being with you, do you think... Little Jennifer is happier with you than with others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Wen Xishu's face made people feel very comfortable, and his tone was gentle, like an old friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack still nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Jennifer does seem to prefer being with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, thank you very much. I also hope you can have more contact with her. Now, let me answer your question: Jennifer feels truly happy when she's with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remark made Jack noticeably smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu continued to ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, do you like other children?\" Wen Xishu asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact... apart from work, I don't really like interacting with other children.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu became more convinced of his hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between Jack and Little Jennifer, there was a special attraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next question, were you surprised by the medical record showing gastric cancer in the late stage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack seemed a bit puzzled, looking at Wen Xishu without speaking for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mind how I know everything. Jack, we are friends, aren't we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I want to ask is, are you surprised to have gastric cancer? Do you feel that some of your symptoms don't quite fit gastric cancer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack thought carefully for a moment, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know. My body started changing a few months ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My appetite has increased a lot. But sometimes I vomit frequently... As you can see, I am now very thin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu became interested:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any photos of the vomit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack shook his head in surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I didn't take any photos of such things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such things? The things you vomited, aren't they food?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... you might find it hard to believe, oh, forget it, I'd better not say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, you must explain clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I often vomit some black liquid, but within the liquid, there seems to be something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's pupils slightly contracted. This was clearly not a common stomach illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As far as I know, you are not wealthy. But the medical record you have is from Mo'en City Hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were you, I would think that I couldn't afford a full set of examinations, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack did not deny it. He said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doctor was very kind. He took me through various examinations. He said today was his lucky day, he saw that I was too thin, so he told me he wanted to do a good deed to help me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn't charge me any fees, but he also said that I would have to gather the money myself for future treatments. All he could do was run the examination and tell me what illness I had.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt a slight shock in his heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could you give me that doctor's contact information?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack had no doubts about Wen Xishu, so he left him a phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said at last:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jack, has Jennifer ever felt uncomfortable? I'm not talking about her stomach, but any part of her body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack showed a look of surprise again, seemingly amazed at how Wen Xishu could always notice things that others hadn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... Jennifer told me she sometimes hears strange sounds, even when no one is around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had already gathered all of the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Jack. Lastly, I'd like to leave you a gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu took out a pen and paper, quickly writing something down. He then tore off the paper, folded it, and handed it to Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can consider this an invitation letter, but don't open it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please open it when you feel you can't endure the pain and want to see Jennifer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack didn't understand, but Wen Xishu's gratitude made him feel he had some value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He accepted that invitation letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu asked no further questions and bid Jack farewell, leaving the old building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had verified his hypothesis from Jack—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was indeed misled. It wasn't the painful experience that turned Jack into a monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rather, it was at the time he was about to transform into a monster, that he experienced a painful day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jack's transformation into a monster was inevitable. Perhaps in the future, Jennifer will be the same. They share a certain commonality and are attracted to each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By verifying the logic behind Jack's transformation into a monster, Wen Xishu could proceed to the next phase of his work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The verification process went smoothly. Though not possessing any sequence of desires, Jack remained kind to Wen Xishu and answered all his questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before starting the next phase of his work, Wen Xishu had to clarify one very discomforting role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he thought that only Jack and Jennifer were worth noting in this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Wen Xishu discovered another person worth paying attention to.\u003C\u002Fp>",1574,"2026-06-03T11:12:38.730Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.168Z",1,"novelbin.me","dbe15f286cf810974376365fa824801080173fe00a826977f5ccdbce6380a40f","three-towers-game-chapter-16","three-towers-game-chapter-14",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
