Tonight, it's likely that we aren't the only dorm hunting for treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, moving together holds no real meaning; though facing certain problems, we could think from three different directions...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It also means we face three different disagreements. I suggest we act separately. We'll gather in an hour and a half to share our findings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun found it reasonable, and although Nissen wanted to stick with them, he eventually accepted acting alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the three went off in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Three Towers Academy was lively at night; though many dormitories were lit, there were also many freshmen teaming up to hunt for treasure outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was almost a tradition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upperclassmen had long given up on it, so they didn't pay much attention to this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu walked all the way to the edge of the Three Towers Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy's main gate was closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Three Towers Academy could use the sequence in an area, once the gate was shut, the outside was completely isolated from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Wen Xishu chose to go to the boundary was to confirm a suspicion in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suspicion was quite baseless. But Wen Xishu trusted his intuition deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The edge of Three Towers Academy consisted of towering walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one possessed the properties of Three Towers, such walls wouldn't stop students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the boundary area, one was out of the system area, and thus, students couldn't use the properties of the Three Towers. Climbing over the more than sixty-meter-high super walls was absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu looked up and gazed around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dome referred to the ceiling of the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dome simulated day and night; during the day, it emitted strong light, brightening the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, it also simulated moonlight, but the overall bunker would darken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like the current scene in Wen Xishu's eyes, dim and quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other teams were searching for treasure near the central area, but Wen Xishu came to the academy's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't because he believed there was treasure here. In fact, he didn't think the treasure was in the traditional sense—hidden somewhere waiting to be dug out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu came here mainly to test something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, my sequence...has failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, Wen Xishu spent most of his time in the system area, carefully sensing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eventually found that as long as he was in the system area, he had a special sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was magical and hard to describe. But he knew it was a special state after activating the sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest feature of the system area was being able to use the properties and sequences of the Three Towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what puzzled Wen Xishu greatly was why he could use the sequence in the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Logically speaking...that place belongs to the academy area. In the academy area, neither I nor anyone else can access the properties of the Three Towers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the Fleeting Dice targeted the Three Towers, not the bunker. Wen Xishu didn't think his speciality stemmed from the Fleeting Dice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, not this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the eerie sequences could work in both the Desire Tower System Area and the Slaughter Tower System Area, which Wen Xishu didn't find surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being effective in the academy area made Wen Xishu feel incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he kept pondering whether the eerie sequences worked in all areas of the entire Three Towers Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To verify this, Wen Xishu came to the school's boundary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to Wen Xishu's astonishment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sequence failed, that magical sensation vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that at the school's boundary, the sequence was in an inactive state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had returned to the normal area of the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Wen Xishu concluded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The effective range of my eerie sequence doesn't cover the entire academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The school boundary also belongs to the academy area, and sequences and properties from the Three Towers can't be used there. This applies to eerie sequences as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then when I was in the library, I saw the mental bullet screens floating above others...does this mean that place doesn't actually belong to the academy area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in the library, everyone else seemed like ordinary people, and only I could use the sequence...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I seem to understand now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had some of his own guesses about the Three Towers Academy's treasure from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he found the truth closer and closer to his guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun, Wen Xishu, and Nissen appeared outside the academy area library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo~ I've been searching constantly, but the treasure remains elusive. What clues do you have? Let's share for reference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three Towers Academy in the daytime is no different from Three Towers Academy at night. If there is a difference...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that all the buildings at night, especially the buildings in the campus area, appear somewhat hazy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu admired Yue Yun's memory greatly, no wonder he could score full marks in cultural subjects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person not going to Deceit Tower to unravel mysteries is a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun and Nissen both looked at Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The library is already closed, but we can climb up from the exterior. We must go to the top floor of the library to take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun was puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to break into the library? Planning to find some information now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm not going into the library, but to reach the top floor of the library. Don't you think...that thing looks very much like Three Towers Academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu pointed his hand towards the giant brass clover at the top of the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clover was constantly rotating, appearing like a giant fan in everyone's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It loomed over the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun looked up, while Nissen couldn't figure it out, but Yue Yun, with his excellent memory, could almost remember things at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked for a while and immediately closed his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The clover...indeed, the areas of Desire Tower Academy and Slaughter Tower Academy are very similar to the petals of this giant brass clover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So...what does this indicate? The Desire Tower System Area, Slaughter Tower System Area, along with the campus, form the clover?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is asymmetric, let's assume that this giant, fan-like brass clover indeed metaphorizes the structure of Three Towers Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the center points of the three petals are connected, forming an equilateral triangle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think carefully, the campus, Slaughter Tower System Area, and the Desire Tower System Area, are these three elements connected in an equilateral triangle structure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the campus area seems more like it's wrapping around the two system areas, the campus range is quite large.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun seemed to understand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, there exists an area that, together with the Slaughter Tower System Area and the Desire Tower System Area, forms an equilateral triangle structure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was still gazing at the sky:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Otherwise, don't you think this brass clover's design is quite puzzling? The climate inside the bunker is so pleasant, yet this thing's function is unknown.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun suddenly understood, but soon fell into confusion again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as far as I know, looking at the whole academy from a flat plane, there is no area that can form a triangular structure with the two system areas...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu smiled mysteriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not on the ground, what about in the sky? Don't just look at the x-axis, also look at the z-axis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with Wen Xishu's intention to climb the library, Yue Yun instantly understood the meaning of this sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that there indeed seemed to be some strange aura, making the surrounding buildings hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be...that there's a huge system area in the sky? How is that possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the treasure you think of is hidden in some corner, and anyone can find it just by digging it out...that's underestimating our predecessors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The treasure is likely invisible, and maybe you can only sense it by approaching a certain area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen exclaimed in wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, there were many freshmen exploring the treasure, but Nissen felt his two little buddies were the most reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen! I think you're very right, let's go, we'll climb up there. I've been doing parkour from the ground floor since I was a kid; compared to leg strength, my arm strength is even more amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a joyful little monkey, Nissen started climbing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu noticed that Nissen's movements were standard enough to perform motion capture for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, he loved parkour, so he got competitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Wang Yueyun naturally wouldn't take the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three quickly began climbing the tower using various anchor points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any safety measures, such climbing typically only appears in movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yue Yun, Nissen, and Wen Xishu were not scared. Yue Yun was at the bottom, Wen Xishu was second, and Nissen was first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu never expected to lose to others in something like parkour climbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen indeed had a terrifying talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun, two body lengths behind Wen Xishu, was even more astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Nissen surely had athletic talents, but didn't expect Wen Xishu to be so extraordinary as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark of the night, the three switched to a racing mode, heading towards the top floor of the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the constant climbing, Wen Xishu felt...that familiar aura only present after entering Deceit Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever it is...it's very close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu silently calculated, feeling a growing sense of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1704,"2026-06-03T11:12:38.730Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.168Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec140da6e712e1993bb65a5a61b9aafcf75f781b83924b6bb0d0b0279f0d4447","three-towers-game-chapter-41","three-towers-game-chapter-39",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
