That look was somewhat eerie, and the smile at the corner of his mouth made Wen Xishu feel a bit unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost...like he had become a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Takahashi Fumihiko inside the door kept approaching. The Takahashi Fumihiko outside the door kept knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It is fake, it is fake, it is fake, it is fake...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Takahashi Fumihiko outside the door started repeatedly writing four characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed extremely worried about Wen Xishu inside the room, pressing against the door and shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is fake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Takahashi Fumihiko inside the door was only a few steps away from Wen Xishu. His grin was incredibly exaggerated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to move closer towards Wen Xishu, who could only feel a massive chill invading him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That unique sense of oppression exclusive to \"them\" came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been let in by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, the answer practically told Wen Xishu directly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the Takahashi Fumihiko inside the door nor the Takahashi Fumihiko outside the door was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Takahashi Fumihiko’s ability... could it be creating visitors? This ability is too perverse, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So next, doesn’t that mean I can’t trust any visitors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, it created a ’Takahashi Fumihiko’ to visit... just to make me suspicious, then deliberately made creepy expressions and abnormal actions. To make me logically deduce... the Takahashi Fumihiko inside the house is fake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to thereby... prematurely force an end to the latent state. This is just like Takahashi Mariko attempting to take off her underwear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu’s brain was still very quick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately made a decision and walked straight toward the Takahashi Fumihiko inside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two faced each other, Wen Xishu kicked Takahashi Fumihiko directly in the abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that Wen Xishu’s legs were his strongest part. This kick sent Takahashi Fumihiko straight back to his previous position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Wen Xishu took a swift step forward, getting close to Takahashi Fumihiko, and slapped him three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I fucking allow you to move without permission? Do you not understand human language? And you still claim to be Rokkasho’s top scholar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu grabbed Takahashi Fumihiko by the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko’s eyes turned red with anger, trying to make an even more bizarre creepy smile to provoke Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu didn’t take the bait. If you want to act inhuman, I’ll just insist you’re human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smile?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap, a smack that sent Takahashi Fumihiko’s glasses flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still smiling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another slap, making Takahashi Fumihiko’s eyeballs bloodshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smile, keep smiling! Smile louder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few more slaps, Takahashi Fumihiko’s face quickly swelled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu decided to start swinging his fists directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a round of beatings, Takahashi Fumihiko finally stopped making creepy smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...why don’t you ask why I’m laughing?\" Takahashi Fumihiko was still astonished inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this man not find his laughter abnormal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of my damn business. Your laugh is too ugly, I’ll send you to see God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu pulled out a gun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Laugh again, and I’ll shoot immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko now behaved honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was still using trickery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because outside, Takahashi Fumihiko was still continuously knocking on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, an extremely bizarre \"scribbling\" sound could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Takahashi Fumihiko outside, writing furiously, his speed nearly reaching a diabolic level, leaving afterimages of his waving hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Densely packed, all slanted and crooked, the door was covered with one phrase—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is fake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, for some reason, the Takahashi Fumihiko outside seemed unable to continue his act. The whites of his eyes vanished, and his entire eyes turned a continually darkening shade, ultimately leaving nothing but void-like black holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the previous visitor, he pressed his eyes firmly against the peephole and said viciously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is fake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko inside didn’t dare to ask: \"Who is fake?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was really scared by Wen Xishu’s relentless beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a monster outside impersonating you, you are the real Takahashi Fumihiko, or I wouldn’t have let you in. If in doubt, don’t use them; if you use them, don’t doubt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, no matter how convincingly the fake Takahashi Fumihiko outside acts, I won’t believe it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But from now on, if you move again, I’ll kill you. Even though I know you are human, I’ll still kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu gave Takahashi Fumihiko the same kind of slightly perverse, eerie smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takahashi Fumihiko hugged his knees, squatting on the chair, dared not speak, nodding then burying his head in his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"them\" brought into the house would use all sorts of methods to make the owner realize \"they\" aren’t human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would force an early end to the latent period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the solution appears simple—just refuse to acknowledge them. But the problem is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This game isn’t that subjective, just because you refuse to acknowledge—it doesn’t mean the monsters’ latent period will never end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For crisis situations, disbelief only lasts for eight hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only works to prevent the monster from prematurely ending the latent period, but the latent period of the monster has a natural ending state. When time runs out...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster will end the latent period naturally, and at that time, you will die if you should die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knocking and shouting outside the door ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visitors cannot stay indefinitely if not invited in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are still a few hours left... the latent period of ’them’ will naturally end. If I’m lucky and have recruited real people inside... then I can kill the previously recruited Takahashi Mariko and Takahashi Fumihiko.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",968,"2026-06-03T11:12:39.009Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","c49135e3431cac129f85b8f6d44562fd70f772d4145ee1304e18c496ee0345d0","three-towers-game-chapter-361","three-towers-game-chapter-359",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
