Chapter 53 New Anchor
Chapter 53 New Anchor
The series of messages made Wen Xishu a little confused. Mainly because he was caught off guard. Was the mission completed just like that?
He didn't even kill them.
At the same time, it was also the first time that Wen Xishu knew that a happiness value of zero could actually be a state of completing a task.
But after a little thought, he found that the principle was not difficult to understand. Releasing hatred and desire is also a part of the Desire Tower. What Tang Rui needs is hatred and a reason to continue to hate.
If the couple was killed directly, Tang Rui might still retain some fantasies in her heart, which would prevent her from truly hating them.
It is exactly like the saying that love is confusing and hatred is twisted.
But by interpreting the task, Wen Xishu knew Tang Rui's inner struggle in advance, so he designed such a perverted game.
In fact, Wen Xishu had no interest in torturing Tang Rui's parents. Instead, this game gave Tang Rui's parents many chances to survive.
If only Tang Rui's parents could have compromised and given in a little bit in this game, could have shown a little bit of love, could have shown a little bit of love in the final decision, could have shown a little bit of love for their child...
Perhaps this mission will not be accomplished.
But then again, if this was the result, Tang Rui would not have become the target of the Desire Tower's mission.
Everything is inevitable, there is no luck.
The result of this game also made Tang Rui see the fact that she didn't want to admit -
They really don't love me, or even care about me.
In the story line before Wen Xishu's arrival, Tang Rui, who did not recognize this scene, would fall into great trouble when the doomsday came soon.
Few people can tell whether they are loved or needed when they are extremely eager for love.
The value of Gui Tang Rui's abilities made her needed by many people, but she mistakenly thought that meant she was loved, and mistakenly thought that it was an opportunity to reconcile with her parents.
But in the end, more and more monsters with the prefix "slaughter" continued to gather in Jiangcheng. When the despair of doomsday grew deeper and deeper, she experienced betrayal and abandonment again.
This also caused her to lose the status she should have.
Fortunately, with the arrival of Wen Xishu, a new destiny trajectory will be anchored.
……
……
There were bursts of thunder and heavy rain. Tonight's thunderstorm seemed like a grand ceremony.
This is a residential building in the community. In fact, the noise made by Wen Xishu and Tang Rui had already made the residents of one building begin to suspect, but in the end no one called the police.
Everything went as it should.
The knife in Tang Rui's hand was stained with blood. The crying and wailing in the house turned into dead silence. When she walked out the door, she suddenly wanted to smoke.
Wen Xishu stood beside her:
"Actually, if you want to do something like this, you can let me do it. If you regret it in the future, you can blame it on me. I don't mind seeking revenge from me."
Tang Rui shook her head:
"It's okay, thank you, Rainy Night Butcher."
Wen Xishu shrugged:
"I am more like a butcher's shadow. You are the real butcher. I give you this nickname. I am always generous to my friends."
Although Wen Xishu also participated, it was Tang Rui who took action in the end.
He actually thought that Tang Rui would not really do it, and at most she would be a silent witness.
But the result surprised Wen Xishu. This girl was a ruthless person at heart.
When the hidden mission was completed and Tang Rui walked out of her parents' house, her whole temperament changed.
The first and second time, it was Wen Xishu who invited them, but this time, Tang Rui said:
"Okay, Mr. Sentinel, let's stop wasting time. I still have one last lump in my heart. Let's go and deal with her!"
She rushed into the rainy night with a knife in hand, like a bad guy.
Under the influence of a variety of emotions, Wen Xishu felt a murderous intent...even more wild than his own.
……
……
Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng Youth Talent Apartment.
In the commercial district of Jiangcheng, there are several huge office buildings, where people from all walks of life gather. But most of them are outsourced salesmen from insurance companies, banks, telecommunications, and China Unicom, as well as some real estate salesmen.
In fact, Lin Huiru's life was not good. After she spread rumors about Tang Rui out of jealousy, the boss soon fired Lin Huiru.
The boss actually felt that a girl who worked so hard like Tang Rui shouldn't be treated like this.
In fact, the boss himself was also a victim of rumors.
When Lin Huiru's words "I do these things just to get a good price from the boss" spread, the boss's own reputation was actually damaged.
Lin Huiru was fired. If there hadn't been rumors about her, maybe Tang Rui would have really been appreciated, her life would have been different, and she wouldn't always meet the wrong people.
Of course, there are no ifs in this world. For Lin Huiru, she hated Tang Rui all her life, and she thought that she was fired because of Tang Rui.
She cursed Tang Rui more than once, causing her to lose her good job.
Now, she works as an after-sales customer service representative for health products, because her only advantage... is her sweet voice.
On this rainy night, the youth talent apartments were affected quite a lot.
There's a power outage here.
Thinking about how she was now living in such a shabby place as the Talent Apartment, and how she could have lived in a better place...she began to curse Tang Rui again.
"Damn bitch, damn bitch! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"
She cursed like this from time to time, and every time at the dinner table, she would talk about how she felt sorry for Tang Rui and then was harmed by an ungrateful person.
But suddenly, Lin Huiru stopped cursing.
She shuddered, and a strong sense of fear came over her, making Lin Huiru's throat seem to be stuck.
Another bang, another "forgotten key" breaking into the door, and another duo of Rainy Night Butcher and Rainy Night Butcher Navigator.
"Xiao Ru, I'm here to see you."
The difference is that this time Wen Xishu was no longer the first one to speak.
There was a hint of excitement in Tang Rui's hoarse voice.
There is no need for much introduction. Under the influence of mixed emotions, Lin Huiru has already felt the chill of death.
It was as if she had arrived at the depths of an ice cellar, and then a huge evil ghost covered with ice spikes appeared behind her.
It only took her a split second to recognize the wet woman in front of her.
"It's you... Why are you here? Why are you here?! What are you doing! What are you doing!?"
Lin Huiru's skin was all covered with goosebumps! She saw the knife in Tang Rui's hand.
"Xiao Ru, we are good sisters. It's raining so hard, I came to see you."
The apprentice has graduated.
Wen Xishu looked at Tang Rui's temperament and felt that she had grasped it very well and had already developed her own style.
To say I came to kill you is too narrow an image. But to say it was raining so hard, I came to see you is quite memorable.
There was bitter rain and cold wind outside, and inside the house there was a resentful woman with the lights on.
Lin Huiru wanted to scream, but the next second, Tang Rui grabbed Lin Huiru's hair, pulled hard, and dragged her off the bed.
"Shh!"
Putting a finger on Lin Huiru's lips, Tang Rui said softly:
"Be quiet, Xiaoru. It would be great if you had learned to keep silent over the years."
The sharp knife cut a scarlet scar on Lin Huiru's skin. Lin Huiru wanted to wail in pain, but when she looked into Tang Rui's ferocious eyes, the chill of her mixed feelings multiplied...
She suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Wen Xishu had to admit that Tang Rui was simply a genius in mastering sequence power.
She seemed to be able to control her mixed feelings and make the other person feel the emotions she wanted to create.
She should be in pain, screaming, and wailing, but Lin Huiru just couldn't shout out. She was enveloped by endless coldness and was in complete despair.
Before that rumor came out, Tang Rui naively thought that her life had really gotten better, and it turned out that there is such a thing as happiness after suffering.
But she didn't expect that everything she had worked so hard for would be destroyed by her best friend. At that time, she really felt like she was falling into an icy cave.
The knife pierced flesh.
"Why aren't you smiling? Just smile. Your smile is very sweet, and maybe I will stop." Tang Rui asked softly.
In my memory, on that day, when rumors were spreading, Lin Huiru just smiled as if nothing had happened.
It seemed as if the collapse of Tang Rui's world did not affect the peaceful years, and the air even became more fragrant.
She still smiled sweetly at Tang Rui, thinking it was just an ordinary joke, and was completely unaware of the harm her actions would cause to Tang Rui.
Tang Rui now feels sick when she recalls that smile. She saw this smile on Lin Huiru's face every time she was bullied in college.
That was not a smile of comfort, but a smile of success. If you think about it carefully, the many malicious things I suffered in college may have been related to the owner of this smile.
Lin Huiru was very obedient, fear forced her to smile. That smile was as ugly as it could be.
Tang Rui also smiled, and her smile was even a bit charming.
When Wen Xishu saw this, he knew that Yu Tang Rui’s suffering and story had indeed come to an end.
The knot in her heart has disappeared. The scum has a scumbag's end, and the scum has a scum's end.
As for whether she will be both murderous and kind after the cold doomsday comes, or become a complete devil, that is not what Wen Xishu needs to care about.
Wen Xishu only knew one thing, that as a player, what he had to do was to survive in the game and then become stronger.
All of this is reflected in the Three Towers game as - accepting tasks, understanding tasks, and completing tasks.
……
……
The sound of heavy rain covered up too much noise and evil. When Tang Rui came out, the blood on her face was like a blooming flower.
The heavy rain quickly washed away the scarlet flower, but the smile on Tang Rui's face did not disappear.
"It's been a crazy and long night, thank you for coming. Tonight has been really crazy for me. From the moment I drank that glass of wine, everything has seemed incredible."
Originally, the craziest thing Tang Rui wanted to do after today was to end her own life, like a parrot falling to its death.
Although she did not really die under the influence of the strange power, she lived in pain and self-doubt every day after that, and her life was worse than death.
Wen Xishu didn't think this was crazy:
"It's just a normal night. Don't take it too seriously."
"If order does not collapse, if doomsday does not come, then this is indeed a crazy and sinful night for you and me."
"But as I said, the end is coming. Compared with the real doomsday, everything tonight is nothing."
"You're going to see a lot of real killing soon after this."
A storm in a teacup is nothing in a bathtub. Although Wen Xishu is not sure what kind of impact the doomsday will have on the human world...
But if the Bunker Era can be seen as a center for human survivors in the post-apocalyptic era, then that apocalypse will destroy at least 90% of humanity.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that, since most people are going to die anyway, it doesn’t matter if I kill a few people in advance.
The value of the Desirable Tower lies in changing the fate of the bosses in the Weird Tower and the Killing Tower.
Once these trajectories change, the fate of humanity at a macro level may also be positively affected.
For example, I have unlocked the conditions for recruiting Lu Jack and Lu Jennifer. If they are really recruited in the future, it will surely be a huge surprise for humans to decipher the three towers.
The same is true today.
For Wen Xishu, killing a few scums on the eve of doomsday in exchange for the upgrade of the Slaughter Tower boss and the rewards for the Desire Tower mission is simply a great deal.
Of course, he couldn't tell Tang Ruiming about these things. There was always a huge boundary between players and NPCs.
Tang Rui suddenly spoke:
"We will meet again, right?"
"It's hard to say, but there's a high probability that we won't meet again."
Wen Xishu said it very bluntly.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to see Lu Jack, Lu Jennifer, or Lu Tang Rui again.
It was because he couldn't get in touch with the Slaughter Tower for a short time, and exploring the Weird Tower was his main theme. Even if he really explored the Slaughter Tower in the future, he might not be able to meet them, after all, the Slaughter Tower was so vast.
Tang Rui was quite reluctant, but she felt that this crazy man would suddenly appear and suddenly disappear.
Rather than looking back and finding the house empty, it would be better to say goodbye gracefully. Tang Rui extended her hand:
"Then let's get to know each other and say goodbye. My name is Tang Rui, and I believe what you said, the end of the world will come."
"I think you suddenly appeared because you hope that I can survive the apocalypse. Don't worry, I will be alive. I will live until the day I meet you again. I have a feeling that we will meet again."
"Maybe you'll need me a lot then."
Wen Xishu also smiled and stretched out his hand.
"My name is Wen Xishu. This rainstorm seems to be quite serious. There may be an awakener with higher qualifications than you hidden in Jiangcheng."
"The world will soon become chaotic, and your abilities will become more and more prominent. Tang Rui, protect yourself, hide yourself, and don't trust others easily."
The heavy rain had not yet stopped, but the rainy night had come to an end. The two killers said goodbye without much hesitation or words.
"Okay, I'll remember that. Goodbye, sentinel of the rainy night butcher."
"Goodbye, Rainy Night Butcher."
The two shook hands and then went their separate ways.
……
……
The heavy rain showed no sign of abating. Wen Xishu was not wrong in his guess, this rain was actually not simple.
In the Tower of Desire, not every mission target will be abused by the people around them and experience pain and incompleteness.
There are also some extremely special ones.
But that was not the parrot's story, it was about other people and things. Although Wen Xishu noticed something was wrong, he didn't want to cause trouble.
When Tang Rui's figure completely disappeared in the rainy night, he reviewed the characteristics of the three people who were killed.
"I already know the three items that correspond to the three people. There are at least three scenes that I am confident I can speed through."
"But there are four doors."
"How strange. In the truth or dare game, Tang Rui meant that there is no fourth thing that would make her incomplete."
"But there should be some..."
Wen Xishu couldn't figure it out. In fact, he had already heard the answer from the hints, but at this time, he overlooked a logical reason.
Fortunately, when he put his hand on the invitation letter and prepared to return... he suddenly understood.
Wen Xishu was happy:
"I see, I see... Now there is no problem at all. This way, I can not only pass through the Tower of Desire quickly, but also the Tower of Trickster quickly."
