My special abilities, including killing, were actually left to me by my brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been thinking, did he leave me these abilities because there was something he couldn’t do, but I can?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If so, that thing certainly isn’t killing, because his desire to kill is stronger than mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Master Lingqing said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, ordinary people can’t solve problems like you can through killing. But your brother can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master, all my abilities come from... well, I can’t say that. Even without these abilities, I might still be formidable, but the situation today wouldn’t be resolved so easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In any case, he left me a very precious power, perhaps one that can overturn everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I’m wondering, what’s the meaning behind him giving me this power? Another companion, or hoping to see different possibilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu brought the topic back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My brother is probably someone with heavier blood on his hands than I have. I think if he were handling the situation in Rokkasho... he wouldn’t just kill eight people, but would slaughter the whole island. Well, actually, I am thinking the same thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although... I’ve never met him, we are... very familiar with each other. I don’t know if, Master, you think I’m talking nonsense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Lingqing shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that your brothers’ situation now is very special. But I can feel your confusion and sincerity, Donor Wen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my view... Donor Wen, your brother left you these powers because you are better than him. He hopes to see you make choices different from his.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please continue, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Lingqing said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If his desire to kill is heavier than yours, maybe he gave you this power to see how you would choose...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To know, when you also have the ability to kill, would you use killing as a means?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, he chose to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of waste in Desire Tower would all become threats to Deceit Tower in the future. Killing them now was undoubtedly the correct decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the completely collapsed state of Rokkasho...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a broken situation where no one could be brought back to normal, killing was indeed a last resort and also the correct choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, what Master Lingqing was discussing with him was whether there was a way better than killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought it over...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps. Just like my choice today, if killing everyone was the right thing to do, I would kill everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can only stay here for 48 hours, 48 hours. Compared to the many cycles of the collapse... of ’that person’, what I can change is minimal. The biggest influencing parameter is life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So from a rational perspective, I would choose killing. Master, do you think there’s a better solution?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Lingqing shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no solution, at least not in this situation. I agree with your approach. But if killing is always an act of last resort, won’t you face defeat every time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s always an act of last resort, won’t it lead to defeat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, if Deceit Tower is always dangerous, and Desire Tower’s only solution is to use killing to break the collapse...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Desire Tower seems to have only one outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Wen Chaohua faced such a predicament back then. He felt that killing was the only solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Rokkasho this time, means of conversion and redemption are useless when faced with such despair, only killing remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if every time is like this, will we have to kill through the entire Desire Tower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, what would the consequences be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu suddenly thought of the days before the 20th floor, when there were no collapsers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does that mean the characters that humans can recruit and unlock are only up to the 20th floor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case, then in the Three Towers War, if humans make an appearance, most likely their allies will be relatively weak characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although people like Tang Rui and Jack are not weak...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But obviously, in the higher levels, there are more characters with much greater potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariko, the Three Gods, Fukon, Fukube, Kinoshita, Watanabe... these people will probably also become powerful beings in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing them will prevent them from becoming enemies, but won’t make them allies either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of collapsers leads to the necessity to kill the target every time... in the long run, it feels like being manipulated on a macro level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly felt the confusion too, this was the path Wen Chaohua once walked. Wen Chaohua, like him, had felt the same confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But did Wen Chaohua realize... he could not change this situation. While I can?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the biggest difference between me and Wen Chaohua?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This answer was not something Wen Xishu at this stage could know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Master Lingqing spoke, breaking the silence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Donor Wen, maybe you need to master a power that makes your appearance not come so late. Maybe the collapsers you mentioned also have some way to... reduce their numbers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If patients in a hospital keep arriving in a critical condition, as a doctor, your only option would be to cut out all the diseased parts, just as you have done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",941,"2026-06-03T11:12:39.010Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","05ae9af87fa786b8ab92393bbf0a151ffc9a297a36016ff1141319b89d0456e9","three-towers-game-chapter-404","three-towers-game-chapter-402",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
