Chapter 55: Wen Xishu with the Sky Eye
Chapter 55: Wen Xishu with the Sky Eye
Wen Xishu spoke slowly and calmly.
Park Meixi said anxiously:
"You tell me! I will listen to you!"
Wen Xishu said:
"Zheng Zai, remember this. When you explore the spooky tower in the future, you must master a rule: don't be afraid of any sound that appears."
"The content of the sound or prompt is the key to our passing the level. Do you understand?"
Wen Xishu ignored Park Meixi's words and instead began to teach Zheng some tips.
Zheng Zai nodded.
Park Mi-hee was really scared and felt creepy being stared at by those eyes.
These eyes were everywhere, some appeared on the walls, some appeared in mid-air, and you could even see sticky eye fluid.
It's so crowded that there's nowhere to hide.
But at this time, Wen Xishu was actually teaching Zheng Zai calmly. But Park Meixi didn't dare to say anything.
Wen Xishu's logic is actually very simple. There are too many eyes to hide. If you attack the eyes, there is no effective means. It may trigger other blood loss mechanisms.
This means that at this time, you just need to follow the prompts. The prompts are to record the bad things you have done.
Although a sentence about being in school was added, this requirement should not be aimed at bunker players.
This is just a clue, suggesting that the girl's behavior in school is all recorded.
that's the truth.
Wen Xishu remembered Tang Rui said that she recorded everything in her diary.
Therefore, through the diary, her parents learned that Tang Rui was neglecting her studies at school and had started learning music.
Of course, I also knew the pain that Tang Rui had truly experienced.
"When props are given to us, it means there will be a chance to use them. We have more paper and pens than the last scene, just to follow the prompts and write down the bad things we have done."
"Now, write."
Park Mi-hee asked:
"Is it okay to finish writing it? The prompt also said to record good things, so good things are not okay?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"You write first."
Zheng Zai is much more down-to-earth. He does whatever Wen Xishu says. Zheng Zai doesn't look smart, but this behavior is the behavior of a truly smart person.
On the contrary, every doubt Park Mi-hee had at this moment was suicidal and stupid.
All three of them began to record the bad things they had done.
Zheng Zai didn't do many bad things. He thought for a long time before writing down the pranks he had done when he was a child.
But Park Mi-hee next door has actually done a lot, but she is skeptical. If she really writes it, will she be punished?
Wen Xishu was writing furiously. He didn't even need to think because he had done so many bad things.
Inducing a little girl to leave her mother and live with an employee fired from the circus, beating up a suspected doctor, teasing and mocking the interrogator, if some of the behaviors of the epileptic dice are counted...
So he did murder, arson, gambling, and everything else. So Wen Xishu wrote very quickly, and his ideas flowed like a fountain.
Park Mi-hee finally wrote about a bad thing she had done. She once tried to improve her status by getting pregnant. After having sex with a senior official, she rummaged through a trash can filled with a certain liquid.
After all three of them finished recording...
These eyes floating in the air or growing from the floor and walls began to close slowly. After closing completely, they turned into black smoke and disappeared.
But Park Mi-hee couldn't be happy...
Because a symbol with an eye pattern appeared on the heads of the three people.
The symbol appears eight parts blue and two parts red.
It was like a logo floating above one's head, reminding Wen Xishu of the NPCs in online games with exclamation marks above their heads.
"What the hell is this...Why do I feel like my movements have slowed down? My body seems to have gotten heavier!"
Park Meixi looked at Wen Xishu again, and Wen Xishu frowned in disgust:
"Don't be so surprised. Don't Zheng Zai and I have this thing on our heads? Are you the only one who is special?"
Park Mi-hee immediately shut up.
She wasn't that stupid in the past, but many people can pretend to be so in a normal environment and look very elegant and calm in a comfortable environment...
But once you are in an extremely dangerous environment, it's a different story.
Wen Xishu said:
"Zheng Zai, remember, we are the bunker people, and the place we have come to is a game scene called the Three Towers Game."
“Since it’s a game, treat yourself as a player and understand the game mechanics better.”
Zheng Zai seemed to understand:
"But...we haven't played many games in the bunker..."
Wen Xishu was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
Before the Wen family got into trouble, they were wealthy and had come into contact with many high-class celebrities...
There are many people with good family backgrounds in Yuta Academy, but I don't think anyone in my memory plays games.
Wen Xishu suddenly felt that this seemed to be a good thing for him.
"It's okay. I'll explain it to you in a way you can understand. Now let me tell you what happened to us."
Zheng Zai showed an attitude of humility and willingness to learn, and Park Mi-hee immediately became serious.
Wen Xishu said:
"Eyes mean surveillance, and a perverted desire to control children."
"Eyes are everywhere, which means the real owner of this room has no privacy."
"Every bad thing we, and even she, have done, will be known by the owner of the eyes, that is, her parents. The reason why they are bad things is that only bad things are worth being spied on."
"The red eyes that appear above our heads can be understood as... the value of being controlled."
"The higher the control value, the less free we are. The manifestation of lack of freedom in life is that no matter what we do, we will be controlled."
"But in the strange tower, no matter what I do, it becomes difficult to complete the action. The ability to control the body decreases, as if it has become extremely clumsy."
"As the red accumulates, judging by the eye markers, it becomes increasingly difficult for us to control our bodies."
Zheng Zai and Park Mi-hee were both shocked. Zheng Zai was amazed at Wen Xishu's analytical ability.
This is exactly the state of early Longxia children doing reading comprehension. Why are windows blue? How to interpret three consecutive rains? They can answer with a flower.
Park Mi-hee was horrified by the strange mechanism of the house and was afraid of her own situation.
Wen Xishu saw everything, but continued to explain:
"It seems that we can't make the blue cover the red at present, but I speculate that purifying items may reduce our red accumulation."
"Of course, you know the price. If you purify the wrong item, you may die."
"We don't know what the instant kill method is for this level yet. Unless our magic resistance is very high, we won't be able to fight these things in the Weird Tower."
"Finally, if we still can't find the item before Red completely devours Blue, then the three of us will obviously become puppets."
“It’s like those children in Chinese horror stories who have completely given up their autonomy and are completely at the mercy of their parents.”
Park Mi-hee said:
"Then...how should we break the impasse? Wen Xishu, you, you have a clue, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"The answer is very simple. In fact, this level is easier to guess than the previous one because we have props in our hands from the beginning."
"What we went through was what the girls in the room had gone through."
"So in this second scene, the object that needs to be purified is the diary."
"Find the diary, purify the diary, end."
Zheng Zai started looking, Wen Xishu also started looking, and after a slight hesitation, Park Mi-hee followed suit.
Wen Xishu was very satisfied with Zheng Zai's courage to charge forward.
"Jung Jae, find the diary and I'll purify it."
Zheng Zai said:
"No, no, I trust you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to get out of the first scene. I'm willing to take the risk for you. I'll just do the purification."
Wen Xishu smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but just listen to me. I will do it."
Zheng Zai was somewhat touched. He thought he was a very courageous person, but he didn't expect that Wen Xishu, the youngest among the group, was the most courageous one.
Of course, Wen Xishu didn't do this because he was manly, responsible, and courageous.
He couldn't tell Zheng Zai directly, I want the reward, buddy.
I've said that we should think from the perspective of a player. If you fight a monster for a long time and the last hit is not yours, then the kill is taken away by you. The credit must be taken by yourself.
Although he was not sure whether there was an observer mechanism, Wen Xishu had to assume the worst case scenario.
The Weird Tower will rate challengers based on their performance, so I'm sorry, all three items have to be mine.
Wen Xishu was lucky enough, he knew where the diary was hidden, because under the influence of mixed emotions and the truth or dare wine glass, he had seen the answer.
Although it was presented from a strange perspective, everything was not much different from what Tang Rui remembered.
"I found the diary."
Wen Xishu held the diary in his hand. He flipped through it and found that the girl really wrote everything in the diary.
He felt a little emotional, what an obedient child.
It is easy for people to develop conditioned reflexes to suppress their instincts. The simplest example is sex. Because it is associated with shame, a group of people find arms unsightly and immoral.
The consequence of doing this is...
More and more people began to satisfy their desires that were hiding their shame in a perverted way. As a result, people's fetishes became more and more bizarre. For example, Sita.
Wen Xishu seemed to understand why Tang Rui had the heart to kill everyone she wanted to kill.
Because it's too depressing.
[This item hides a sin that cannot be forgiven. Are you sure you want to purify it? ]
The prompt appeared again, and Wen Xishu chose purification without hesitation.
At this moment, the eyes that appeared above Zheng Zai and Park Mi-hee disappeared. Park Mi-hee only felt comfortable all over, and Zheng Zai also felt that he had regained control of his body.
"It's as if he has opened his third eye. So far, I haven't noticed anything wrong..."
"I was told to find the source of his power that allowed him to pass through the strange tower..."
"But he doesn't have any power at all. He just has a terrifying ability to make connections. It can't even be considered reasoning because many parts of it are still far-fetched."
"But he just finds the right answer. It's terrifying. This man is terrifying."
"If I give you a truthful report...will the higher-ups believe me?"
Park Mi-hee was already in great anxiety, she was afraid of dying at this stage. But after she survived, she began to worry about other things.
Once again, the door appears in the middle of the scene.
Wen Xishu said:
"Next, it's the final level. As long as we purify this level, we can go back."
“We were very efficient and didn’t wait until the three levels overlapped.”
Zheng Zai said:
"Three levels overlap... What does that mean? Are three anti-AFK mechanisms appearing at the same time?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Imagine that the tentacle monster in the first level can kill us instantly, but its vision range is limited."
"But the eyes in the second level can make up for this..."
Thinking about what Wen Xishu said, Zheng Zai and Park Mi-hee both felt horrified.
This is simply aimed at killing the players.
Zheng Zai said:
"Wen Xishu, thank you, thank you very much, you have saved me more than once."
Wen Xishu waved his hand and said:
"Let's go, the last level."
Zheng Zai followed happily. They were in the Ghost Tower and had just received some heavy news.
But now, he seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood.
This is probably the fun of winning without doing anything.
……
……
The last hurdle.
When Jung Jae and Park Mi-hee arrived at the new scene, they had different reactions.
Zheng Zaishi observed carefully but was not anxious. Park Mi-hee, on the other hand, was once again in a state of anxiety.
Because there are so many items in the entire scene, it can be said that there are items exuding the breath of sin everywhere, and the scene is several times larger than the previous two levels combined.
This is the first floor of an office building.
Wen Xishu knew that this was the last level that would form the parrot cage and completely destroy Tang Rui's life.
This was the workplace where Tang Rui once lived.
The other two didn’t know, but Wen Xishu knew very well that the theme of this level was betrayal.
Tang Rui was betrayed by Lin Huiru, which made her life incomplete again.
But how will the theme of betrayal be presented?
Wen Xishu suddenly became expectant.
"What should we do now?" Park Mi-hee asked.
Wen Xishu said:
"Wait, there's no point in blindly searching for items. We have to wait for the anti-AFK mechanism to appear. Although that may put us in danger, it will also bring clues."
Zheng Zai took note silently. Now, Wen Xishu's words were like the Bible to him.
If the Guita Academy existed, he felt that Wen Xishu's experiences were the teachings of the teachers of the Guita Academy.
Sure enough, it was the same as the previous two levels.
Soon after Wen Xishu finished speaking, the three of them heard a hint:
[Congratulations on reaching the last level. Do you have a friend in your life who you can trust and rely on? If your friend is by your side, you will be tested together.]
【If your friend is not around, please call his name softly. 】
Park Mi-hee actually listened to Wen Xishu's words, began to extract the information in the prompts, and softly called her good friend's name.
She has been in the bunker for so many years and it's not like she is without any friends.
But Wen Xishu saw through Park Mi-hee's thoughts at a glance:
"Let me explain this to you. This is a cooperative level. If your friends are around, like we are right now, our teammates are right next to us... then we will take the test together."
"If all our teammates have died in the previous level, then at this time, if we silently recite the names of our old friends, we may create an illusion of our old friends to help us pass the level."
"Our situation fits the first category, and our friends are right beside us."
"So Park Mi-hee, stop reading. If your friend knew that you wanted to drag her to the Ghost Tower, would she still be your friend?"
Park Mi-hee felt embarrassed after being exposed.
Wen Xishu waited patiently.
As for Park Mi-hee, he always knew what she was thinking, but he was also on guard against Zheng Jae-ma.
Simplicity, kindness, honesty, and sincerity can all be disguised.
In fact, Wen Xishu already knew what the item that needed to be purified was.
But Wen Xishu was looking forward to the next part. No matter what, the part related to the theme of betrayal would help him make a better decision.
The decision of whether or not to kill all teammates.
