That place could be many times more dangerous than we imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently, you might not be aware, but strange things are happening all over the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin Feng, Old Tai, Ah Yi, you three have been investigating this case for a long time. I really don’t want you to go, but you are the ones who understand this case the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This case is truly bizarre. We’ve known the director for a long time, and there have been spot-checks every year. Honestly, he seemed to genuinely care about helping the children...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now, you have found evidence that indeed, he has a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, that’s the part I can’t understand. The place has surveillance, so how is he able to traffic people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And besides, how did he change so drastically? I feel there’s something extremely odd going on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Investigation Bureau members exchanged glances. Leading them was Qin Feng, the most senior and a model employee in the bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief, a lot of strange and bizarre things have been happening recently, but you don’t need to worry. In the past, people didn’t find any issues because he hid it well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now we are very certain that the orphanage is involved in human trafficking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, they are linked to the largest human trafficking base in Burma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those children... they’re just their shields.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng spoke with confidence because they had been investigating this case for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bureau leader sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Promise me, don’t steal the limelight. The experts from the city will handle the trouble. You just need to provide the information!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Investigation Bureau members felt a sense of unease, but their duties obliged them, and with the support from the city, they thought capturing the orphanage staff would be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, we’ll complete the mission. This time, we can directly arrest them. The only issue is figuring out how to relocate those children for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll handle that. I wish you success.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloud City, a small border town, Orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just yesterday, those three familiar Investigation Bureau members visited the orphanage again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director knew well that the attitudes of the three Investigation Bureau members were growing increasingly hostile and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that the secrets of the orphanage... might have already been discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orphanage had many secrets, such as—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This orphanage was never short of children. When there were too many children, some would always be taken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When there weren’t many children... more would conveniently be brought in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caught the attention of the three Investigation Bureau members, but they had no evidence before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one secret, a secret that recently was no longer a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, this orphanage would disappear. The game would enter the next stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the director and also the Corruptor, he wasn’t worried at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because everything so far had been the same as before, exactly the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would, as in all previous cycles, report to his master without deviation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, they are coming soon, just like before. Those three from the Investigation Bureau will bring reinforcements from the city to besiege me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can prepare to leave with them and start the next stage of the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would have thought that in the orphanage director’s office, there was a little girl in red clothes, playing with toys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The toys looked very much like real people, only much smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you looked closely, you would find that the toys resembled every child in the orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a toy that looked very much like the director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you will strap bombs all over your body, taking all the blame upon yourself, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command. Your wish is my command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go away. I’m going to say goodbye to my toys one last time~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears instantly welled up in the little girl’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to be very reluctant to part with these toys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She squeezed one toy’s head too hard and accidentally snapped it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It happened to be the director’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the plan, the director would die today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what happened next surprised the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director, who was supposed to be filled with explosives, suddenly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a terrified expression, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... the cycle... the cycle has changed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl was puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our base in Burma... was taken down. According to reports from there... one person single-handedly dismantled all the armed forces at the base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those we had trafficked are scattering and fleeing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl frowned slightly, looking at the director with some confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orphanage director quickly waved his hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... please don’t look at me like that. I just... just found out about this. I don’t know what happened!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl thought for a moment. It was true; there was no way the director could break free now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ability was related to memory, akin to hypnosis. As long as the memory persisted... the hypnosis wouldn’t be lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before many cycles began, the director wasn’t actually her slave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one night, the director seemed to discover the little girl’s secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that, unconsciously, the children in the orphanage had become somewhat dazed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that, unconsciously, the little girl started playing with some peculiar toys alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to interrogate the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the great Corruptor, even if he made mistakes and provoked the gifted... he would remember related information after each reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each reset, he could always find the gifted’s weaknesses and control them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, that was his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he became a \"toy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became the little girl’s plaything, utterly devoted to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a seal imprinted in his memory. He had to obey the little girl’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the memory remained, this \"agreement\" would always be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, one characteristic of the Corruptor... was that everything would reset except for the memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the little girl gained a Corruptor slave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her control over the region became even more solid. It could be said that this area was almost unsolvable for anyone climbing the Desire Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at this moment, convinced that her toy had not been exposed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl quickly realized one thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the ’Challenger’ has entered the scene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Challenger naturally referred to the players from the Bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each cycle, the Corruptors wouldn’t forget the past, but the little girl would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Corruptors would always tell her what had happened, using the simplest way to help her believe in her powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like a forever loyal butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, under the butler’s influence, the little girl also knew about the \"Challenger\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also learned from the director that the Challenger couldn’t use violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she didn’t fear the Challenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the director, she had fought against the Challengers more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In previous cycles, every Challenger was turned into a toy by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the little girl felt confused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s the Challenger... why could they dismantle that area’s armed forces? You better not be lying to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, something outside the knowledge of both the gifted and the Corruptor appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-06-03T11:12:39.010Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","a0eab88f8ec33aa7f5e0670bb5171d2549e290792a8483b488c667a153808e73","three-towers-game-chapter-497","three-towers-game-chapter-495",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
