The ascent was hard, and the descent wouldn’t be easy either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black fog surrounded the temple, giving Wen Xishu the feeling of being in the Deceit Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters guarding certain areas carried that kind of black fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu tightened his grip on the dagger and slowed his footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Wen Xishu instinctively sidestepped to avoid it. He saw a massive figure swinging a nightstick at his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a policeman, but his body had long since become deformed, his face full of rotten flesh, with bare white bones visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sneaky people are surely villains! Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The policeman didn’t expect Wen Xishu to dodge his surprise attack, and he began to swing the nightstick wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu’s movements were incredibly agile. If he could avoid a sneak attack, he could easily dodge a direct one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! I’m not an enemy, I mean no harm! I’m not a deformed, twisted person either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dodging several rounds of the policeman’s attacks, Wen Xishu leapt back, raised his hands slightly, indicating he meant no harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action made the policeman frown, but he indeed stopped his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came to find the Mage, I came from outside... I want to know the truth here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was from his dream; Wen Xishu felt a familiar sense when he saw the stairs in front of the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every time he dreamt, the policeman appeared in his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wen Xishu was sure this was the scene from his dream. In the depths of the temple hall, in that pitch-blackness, surely there was a Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world has already collapsed. Even if there are normal people, how could they think of seeking a Mage to know the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are no normal people here. How can you prove there are normal people here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The policeman stopped swinging the stick and chose to draw his gun instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu simply threw away the dagger:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about I... take off my pants?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the rule from the TV—the creatures, some of them didn’t have the lower part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu suddenly felt like he was knocking on a door, trying to get the owner inside to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this made the policeman pause for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a voice came from the depths of the hall:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Murata, please stop. Let this visitor come in. If the visitor is not afraid of me, then come inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was certainly not afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked into the temple hall, where it seemed light couldn’t penetrate. Stepping in, he felt enveloped in absolute darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu immediately became alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, the sound of wooden fish knocking began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness quickly receded, and the entire hall was bathed in golden light. The previous sense of dilapidation vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Wen Xishu sensed that all of this might be an illusion, possibly a trick of the Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Wen Xishu saw a Mage dressed in monk robes, kneeling on a cushion, knocking the wooden fish with a sacred and solemn attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologies for the offense earlier, visitor, I am the Mage you mentioned. You can call me Master Lingqing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage’s age surprised Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu never expected the Mage to look so young and clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingqing had a clean face, appearing to be just in his early twenties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clear smile, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Visitor, you carry too many spiritually charged items, so Mr. Murata thought you belonged to... that God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was startled, had they mentioned God already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were you scared by the scene of Rokkasho?\" Master Lingqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded, not denying that he was scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wind City, the Scorpio sign, through John, brought about the apocalypse with a zombie siege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, who knows which zodiac sign caused the apocalypse with \"radiation monsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although both were apocalypses, Wen Xishu had to admit—Rokkasho’s apocalypse was far more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies had a few typical shapes, but the humans of Rokkasho had appearances rarer than rare species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... my true form now is quite frightening. So I brought you into this illusion. Sorry, I was afraid I would scare you,\" Master Lingqing said frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the Mage was no longer human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu suddenly remembered, in the Deceit Tower, that short-haired man said the house was full of monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>",943,"2026-06-03T11:12:39.009Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ccf5425db25ea1275ef39b18e6890157b884e143962fef4f5df763559e42fc0","three-towers-game-chapter-389","three-towers-game-chapter-387",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
