She died a gruesome death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know what’s inside the carriage either?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female attendant smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There might be something inside that interests you. It can help you through specific carriages, but exactly what it is, you’ll have to find out yourself~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some things are very dangerous and will cause you some harm, but in certain hopeless situations, they are the only solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, you’ll have to figure out which items are appropriate for which scenarios by yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu seemed to understand a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puzzles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could think of the upcoming carriages as each being a puzzle with a missing piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these puzzle pieces were piled up in this small cart covered with a white cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could, like a blind man feeling an elephant, choose certain items from the small cart...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what these items are for, and which level they belong to, you’d have to guess by yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some items are quite sinister and carrying them is inherently dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But overall, the female attendant is very crucial, she’s the kind of NPC that provides items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an NPC is usually not a villain. This made Wen Xishu certain that there were no other twists with the female attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the price?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on the female attendant’s face gradually faded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you survive... or if you have the chance to go to that world, I hope you... can save me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you die~ you’ll become one of the passengers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, are there other people like me who have become passengers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female attendant shook her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They haven’t even seen me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vortex had swallowed many people, causing the scale of the vortex to grow larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of these people were like the sealed phones in Carriage 03.5...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being sealed meant they were unable to communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those in Row Seventeen, like Xiaojin who remained in Carriage 01, could still communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, those people had recklessly gone to Carriage 02 and were likely devoured by other eerie entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never even encountered the attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu guessed that the attendant probably wouldn’t appear in the front carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Carriages 02 and 03. Players had to pass through two carriages without items and obtain the Good and Evil Cards before they could interact with the female attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, thank you very much for your help. If I can leave alive, or... if I can get the invitation, I will find a way to change everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess you can’t tell me who the mastermind is, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female attendant’s face turned fearful. She immediately shook her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please... please don’t ask that question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just an ordinary girl who didn’t want to get married, didn’t want to have kids, she simply wanted to make money and be self-sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably the most normal person in the whole carriage. Maybe that’s why she was arranged to play the role of assisting the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she didn’t have many perverted thoughts, it was hard to turn her into something bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe her obsession was simply to survive. Though she was dead, she desired for someone to leave with her help...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even so, this carriage wasn’t completely without danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu could smell the stench of decay and could sense that there were many dangerous items in the small cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many items can I take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can only take one item.\" The female attendant’s smile returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu confirmed again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t uncover this white cloth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female attendant nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu understood everything. He could only uncover a bit and let his hand reach into the small cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he grabbed was whatever he got...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the items might even be alive because the white cloth covering the small cart was clearly moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought of an ancient punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was making someone put their hand into a jar full of poisonous creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jar was filled with scorpions, centipedes, poisonous toads, and various poisonous insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether you’d be bitten and by what, all depended on luck. It wasn’t particularly cruel... but the fear of the unknown could easily break a criminal’s psychological defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt very conflicted at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand was already inside. His expression was serious because he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m guessing the questions with the answer in hand. I have two chances. I can tag the female attendant with a Good card in Carriage 08... so I can meet her again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, knowing the upcoming carriages will have various eerie scenarios...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the item I grab can respond to these scenarios. So I can deduce the rules of these scenarios based on the item I grab...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought, at worst, he would feel all the items...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But quickly, the female attendant said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have one minute left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had a feeling. It seemed he couldn’t touch all the items in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly felt a stack of paper, somewhat soft and moist because it had been soaked in blood. The blood came from other objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought of talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that besides drinking tea, there is another way to deal with the old man... by using other talismans?\u003C\u002Fp>",950,"2026-06-03T11:12:39.010Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c752e098e485d1c1eb1aa74990f359c07cd2aeddc028f48abb740fa39dc12b9","three-towers-game-chapter-488","three-towers-game-chapter-486",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
