But Mariko kept posing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt like he had bought a peacock that was now showing off its feathers to its owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the TV in the room turned on soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene startled Mariko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu noticed Mariko’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why... would Mariko be afraid of the TV?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The TV did indeed turn on suddenly, but that shouldn’t be enough to scare her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had discovered earlier that the TV was broken; the remote couldn’t turn it on, and neither could the buttons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the TV turned on by itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image on the TV was of a girl being... brutally assaulted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was indistinct, but she had long hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her hair is as long as yours,\" Wen Xishu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariko trembled, and her facial expression began to look strange, as if she were frightened yet dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But her face is beaten beyond recognition... it shouldn’t be you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remark seemed to make Mariko feel a lot better; she finally managed to smile, but when she looked at Wen Xishu, her gaze was chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image on the TV began to flicker, and a distorted voice came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Some of them are missing genitalia.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This comment was very odd...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariko, in a light and airy tone, said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord God, it is said... that people who turn into monsters...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don’t have genitals. So, you can take a look at me... I do have genitals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariko parted her legs slightly, seeming to want to prove something, her face full of allure, but Wen Xishu abruptly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The information might be false.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immediately halted Mariko’s actions. Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humans don’t need to prove they are humans, understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariko nodded a little confusedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had a very strange feeling; Mariko seemed human, but also like one of those... monsters with regressive intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just a coincidence earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she trying to prove herself? Or was she testing me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mariko is a monster, is she lurking here to draw lust from me? And... is the image on the TV implying something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knocking on the door interrupted Wen Xishu’s thoughts. The second visitor had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump thump thump thump, very urgent knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu quickly went to the door and started observing through the peephole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third knocker was someone who looked like a high school student wearing glasses. He was wearing a short sleeve, exuding an athletic and healthy aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick... quick, open the door! They are coming! Open the door!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Turn around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank God! There’s really someone! There’s really someone! I’m Takahashi Fumihiko, I’m human! I swear I’m human!\" Takahashi Fumihiko shouted excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko turned around once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his appearance, Takahashi Fumihiko didn’t seem to have any problems; the glasses made him look quite elegant, like a very well-behaved, sports-loving high school student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko was briefly stunned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you let me in first and then I’ll explain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to answer the question first. Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t dare go out during the day; the sun will... mutate us. I can only go out at night. The windows in my previous place weren’t locked properly. I don’t dare go back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me in first! I’ll tell you whatever you want to know! But you need to let me in first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting him in was actually an option too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had concluded a pattern: if a monster looks human, it means it’s in hibernation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as their number doesn’t exceed three... he can kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he currently had someone inside, so he wasn’t in a hurry; he no longer felt the urgency of \"living alone means death,\" so he could choose not to let anyone in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you mentioned it’s dangerous during the day and sunlight can mutate you, why mention that a window wasn’t properly closed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Takahashi Fumihiko’s logic was much better than Takahashi Mariko’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, Takahashi Mariko was the first visitor who looked human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu needed to solve the problem of living alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Takahashi Mariko wouldn’t have been let in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was because of the talismans; we didn’t stick the talismans properly... At first, we just used black cloth to cover that place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we didn’t expect... that place became a weak point. The monsters found it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of my companions are already dead! Let me in quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monsters don’t move during the day?\" Wen Xishu continued to ask slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Takahashi Fumihiko suddenly became angry:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not planning to let us in at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Us? Besides you, who else is there?\" Wen Xishu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko was furious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Let me in quickly! My time is running out! Not much longer! Why do you have so many questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu responded with an oh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see, your time is running out, so, do the monsters move during the day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko’s eyes were red:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They do... they move! They’ve mutated, the sunlight doesn’t affect them, but during the day they aren’t allowed to knock on doors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry, let me in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re very irritable. I’m sorry, but you can’t come in. Thank you for answering my questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Wen Xishu hadn’t refused yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Takahashi Fumihiko’s eyes widened, and he pressed his eyes directly against the peephole:\u003C\u002Fp>",938,"2026-06-03T11:12:39.009Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","d84a3f67c712b0adf0d39ed6718a9dc1aa221c756947b87c068458f6c4185e8f","three-towers-game-chapter-358","three-towers-game-chapter-356",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
