Chapter 78: Brothers and Brothers ( Words)
An Jincheng was stunned for a moment:
"What do you mean? If I'm not An Zhenqi, who else could it be?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Your grandfather's two favorite juniors are you, the youngest son of the family, and An Youxuan, the eldest son of the family."

"When you saw that the sacrifice had to be the most beloved blood relative, you thought of a possibility - your brother An Youxuan would be chosen by grandfather as the 'sacrifice'."

An Jincheng no longer knew how to express his surprise in words. How could this person know such a secret?

Wen Xishu first answered a question from An Jincheng.

"The emergence of Scorpio is a miracle of evolution for your grandfather."

"But you also have your own miracle, and that is me."

Wen Xishu continued:
"You don't have the attribute of greed at all, and your generosity has never been reversed by this building. You pretend to be greedy, but in fact, you are very generous."

In that barrage, in An Jincheng's memory, when he read the description of the sacrifice...

At that moment, the first person An Jincheng thought of was his brother.

Those emotions flashed by, and were replaced by decision, but all of this was captured by Wen Xishu, who was filled with a variety of emotions.

It was also from that moment that Wen Xishu discovered that An Jincheng was not a playboy.

An Jincheng's entire personality is a disguise.

Now, Wen Xishu has completely figured out the whole story:

One day, An Rongzai meets Scorpio. As long as he completes Scorpio's game, An Rongzai can evolve and perhaps become as powerful as Jack and Tang Rui.

But this game requires a sacrifice. The sacrifice requires six non-blood relatives with the characteristics of the Seven Sins as sacrifices, and one blood relative who must be the most difficult to part with as the center of the formation.

Wen Xishu originally thought that this person was An Jincheng.

But as he touched the barrage, he discovered An Jincheng's inner decision.

This youngest son is prepared to die for his elder brother.

To be honest, such a drama did exist, but it happened in a chaebol family, which surprised Wen Xishu greatly.

This should have been a completely twisted and dark story.

"Oh, how do you know that I'm not greedy? How can a person not be greedy? Don't I love money? Don't I love women? Don't I covet power?" An Jincheng retorted.

Wen Xishu did not deny that greed could be projected onto anything.

"Greed for family affection can indeed be considered greed, but it is not the greed that this formation requires."

Wen Xishu decided to find out more about the An brothers.

He realized something.

When Scorpio was bewitching An Rongzai, Scorpio said that he made a bet with Gemini.

In other words, Gemini is involved, too.

The characteristic of Gemini, if I am not mistaken, is that there are two people in a certain area who appreciate and support each other.

Both of them have the qualifications of a weird level. This is the only way to explain it.

How can an ordinary person evolve into a powerful monster by relying on another group of ordinary people?

Perhaps the core sacrifice had the qualities to transform into a monster.

This may... be a showdown between Gemini and Scorpio.

In Wen Xishu's opinion, the person chosen by Gemini would not be comedian He Taiping and novelist Yin Junchi.

These two people also have strange qualifications, but they do not meet the other selection criteria for Gemini that I have speculated.

The novelist and the comedian didn’t even know each other.

Now, after learning that An Jincheng was willing to die for his brother... Wen Xishu suddenly had an idea.

"Your brother, An Yuxuan, will die soon. Everything you do is in vain. Your disguise is useless."

"The greed in your heart is not what this formation requires. You pretended to be generous, and broke your disguise... But you can't fool your grandfather. He won't let any of you brothers go."

"In the second half of the plan against Seven, all six sacrifices died, and the owner of 42-7, the man named An Zhenqi, was destined not to be you, but your brother."

Every word Wen Xishu said was a guess, but every sentence accurately made An Jincheng feel painful.

Anger, fear, and sadness all reached their peak at this moment because An Youxuan would become An Zhenqi...

An Jincheng glared at Wen Xishu, with fear and sadness in his eyes.

[It's impossible. Grandpa saw my true thoughts. I also meet his standards. I have reached a tacit understanding with him that I can't touch my brother! ]

The mental barrage appeared again, and Wen Xishu touched it again. He wanted to dig out what Yuta really wanted him to do.

Only this time, with the convergence of multiple emotions, this story came like a storm. Deep in the soul, the emotions of the "Wen Family Fool" were also awakened by the storm at this moment.

……

……

Unknown timeline. Nagijo, Nagijo Mitsukoshi Kindergarten.

Two children were beaten by a group of other children. One child hid behind another child in a timid manner.

The slightly taller child, enduring the beating from the other children, protected the child behind him, his eyes like a wolf.

He suddenly became mad and bit a child's ear.

The child with the eyes of a beast burst out with terrifying strength and bit off the ear of a child.

This scene also caused many children to cry out. They did not expect that the child would do such a crazy thing.

The children dispersed.

The two children, one tall and one short, are the An brothers, An Youxuan and An Jincheng.

Not long ago, a child was bullied, and An Jincheng stood up for justice. So the group of children who bullied others changed their target and started bullying An Jincheng.

At the beginning, the bullied child did not help An Jincheng, but ran away in fear. It was An Youxuan's arrival and his crazy, beast-like behavior that saved An Jincheng from danger.

This is one of the memories that An Jincheng will never forget.

All along, that aloof brother would actually fight so hard to protect himself.

However, the two brothers were later punished for biting off someone's ear, which was too cruel.

When An Youxuan and An Jincheng were young, they were not allowed to talk about their family situation. To the outside world, they were just the children of employees of the Sanqiu Group.

An Jincheng still remembers that because of the fight, he and his brother were punished to kneel together and start copying the family rules.

At that time, my brother was quietly copying the family rules.

An Jincheng said:
"Brother, did I do something wrong? Shouldn't I have saved that man? I clearly saved him, but he didn't thank me... We were also bullied by others, even... even Grandpa blamed us."

An Youxuan said:
"Acheng, you are not wrong. Justice is never wrong."

An Jincheng still doesn't understand what justice is:

"Then why are we being punished?"

An Jincheng will always remember what An Youxuan said at that time:
"Because we are not strong enough. The world is wrong. Don't doubt yourself. You have to become strong to change the world and correct this mistake."

This is An Jincheng's elder brother, an ambitious man who has shown extraordinary character since childhood.

Read and understand.

After that ear-biting incident, no one dared to bully An Jincheng anymore, because An Youxuan only needed to look at those children coldly and they would feel scared.

The two brothers have always been compared, but An Jincheng didn't know it at the time.

An Jincheng's talent also began to show, and he seemed to learn everything easily. He and An Youxuan were always the two best students in the school during their middle school years.

Compared with An Youxuan, An Jincheng even seems to be more at ease.

An Rongzai also began to frequently check on the two's homework, not on academics, but on business management.

At that time, An Rongzai could see that An Jincheng was very talented.

The economics and management teacher arranged by the family often only needs to give slight guidance, and An Jincheng can apply what he has learned to other situations.

An Youxuan is also very outstanding, and his excellence lies more in his character. He is tough, introverted and unyielding.

But in terms of learning ability, he actually needs to work twice as hard to be on par with his younger brother.

However, An Youxuan never envied his younger brother. On the contrary, he was always willing to share any good things with his younger brother.

The same went for An Jincheng, who tacitly acknowledged that half of everything he owned belonged to his brother.

But later on, because of their different ambitions, the two seemed to gradually become estranged.

For An Jincheng, studying is a game that does not require deliberate effort. He just needs to slack off a bit to keep up with his brother.

This also gave An Jincheng more free time. When he was young, he didn't know that things that didn't require him to be taken seriously might require him to go all out for others.

An Jincheng began to like music, comics, cars, and started dating girls.

His talent was more than enough to support him in doing these things, but he felt that...his brother was rather dull.

My brother is always busy studying, learning knowledge and learning the family's management experience.

An Jincheng was quite disappointed once. He read a comic from an island country, which told the story of a brother who loved his younger brother so much that he was willing to betray the entire clan to protect him.

But fate made the two brothers become enemies in the end. At least in the eyes of the younger brother, the older brother was the enemy.

In the end, the younger brother killed the older brother. The older brother poked his younger brother with his finger and said that this was the last time, with only endless love in his eyes.

An Jincheng shared this comic with his brother. He hopes that there will never be any misunderstandings between him and his brother.

He hoped that the two brothers could talk about anything and not end up like the brothers in the cartoons.

But my brother just frowned and said:
"Don't watch these boring things, Ah Cheng. Do you know that you are wasting your talent? Why do you have such a talent that others cannot reach, but you want to waste yourself like this?"

An Youxuan's eyes and tone were filled with disappointment, which greatly hurt An Jincheng.

Fate's test of the two brothers did not end there.

In his second year of high school, An Jincheng heard these words from his father:
"Ah Cheng, your grades are very good. You need to keep working hard and keep up the good work. Grandpa plans to give you a sum of money so that you can start your first investment! You and An Youxuan both have it. I will only give you this money without using other family resources. Whoever can make the most profit from this money will get Grandpa's favor. This is a competition between you."

"Grandpa plans to choose one of you two as his heir in the future."

An Jincheng asked:
"My brother and I are still students. Shouldn't dad and uncles be grandfather's heirs?"

An Jincheng's father shook his head:

"Grandpa is so capable and healthy that he can wait until you grow up. You also enjoy far more resources than our generation. Grandpa always says that our thinking is backward... You will be the masters of this era in the future."

"You have to work hard, kid. You have to fight! You can't lose to your brother. If you don't fight, everything grandpa has will be given to him in the future!"

These words had a great impact on An Jincheng's heart.

At that time, An Jincheng found that he had not eaten with his brother for a long time.

He tried to ask his brother to have dinner together, but the response he received was:
"I'm very busy and don't have time. I have to have lunch with the congressmen this afternoon. If you're still looking for some boring things, don't look for me in the future."

An Jincheng inquired around and found out that his brother was busy in and out, drinking with politicians and considering which piece of land to invest in.

So, my brother was really fighting with me. He felt sad.

He remembered what his brother said many years ago: if the world is wrong, then go and change the world and correct its mistakes.

Of course, the children of the Sanqiu Group can say that. But as time goes by, people gradually grow up and gradually realize...

In this world, or in an atmosphere like that of the Sanqiu Group, there is only one kind of justice - monetary justice.

Justice should not be ridiculed, in fact, it is money that should not be ridiculed. The strong should not bully the weak, but the rich can exploit the poor. Children who do the right thing should not be punished by their parents, but children from rich families are always praised by others no matter what they do.

There are too many distortions in this world, and people have already accepted their existence.

My brother is such a mature person, how could he stick to those childish things? When he talks about changing the world, maybe... he just wants to get grandpa's wealth?
This is what smart people should do.

The words "If it's still because of some boring things, don't look for me in the future" made An Jincheng very painful.

He suddenly realized that his uncles and aunts didn't have a good relationship with his father. He didn't want this to happen, and he didn't want his relationship with his brother to become weak in the future.

I don’t want to have children in the future, so I say to my children:

"You have to fight. You can't lose to the child of An Youxuan's family."

An Jincheng's resistance is to give up the fight.

From then on, he began to degenerate completely. He used the money his grandfather gave him to invest in a nightclub. He did not lose money, but it made his father and mother somewhat ashamed.

All this was just the beginning. An Jincheng began to become unlearned and in the second half of his senior year, his grades plummeted.

Later, my brother was admitted to study abroad, while I went to study at a family-sponsored university in China.

They can only see each other during the winter and summer vacations, and the brother has also made new friends. In everyone's eyes, An Youxuan always wears a neat hand-made custom suit, has a meticulous hairstyle, and has a sharp gaze, as if the world is in his hands.

What about An Jincheng?

He became a joke in the An family. He seemed to be doing everything that those uneducated rich second-generations did. His family members had encouraged him and even hired a psychologist, but it was all in vain.

Even my grandfather was disappointed with An Jincheng and said:

"To lose the big picture for the small is to lose the big picture."

An Jincheng gradually began to be marginalized, and Sanqiu Group was no longer tied to An Jincheng. At least when people talked about Sanqiu Group, they no longer discussed who was the "crown prince" between An Jincheng and An Youxuan. They only thought of An Youxuan, who was always serious and always worked hard.

An Jincheng and An Youxuan also rarely contacted each other.

Once, An Jincheng wanted to test whether his brother no longer cared about him, so he broke into An Youxuan's office and began to tell him about his recent downfall, intending to borrow some money from An Youxuan.

An Youxuan borrowed it, and then asked calmly:

"Is there anything else? If not, go and have fun. I have to be busy."

Even the disappointment on his face was gone. An Jincheng could no longer see any emotion in his brother's eyes.

An Jincheng was extremely disappointed, as if he had been born in such a family... Anyone who had the opportunity to compete for the inheritance rights would eventually become an enemy, no matter what kind of ties they had.

But he kept telling himself over and over again that this was not bad.

My brother got what he wanted. I and my brother won’t hate each other like my father and uncles do, right?

Perhaps being born in such a family, the best outcome for brothers is to become strangers.

Life is about constant compromise, and An Jincheng slowly began to accept it all.

He thought that he had lost his brother after all, and his private life became more and more decadent.

He kept changing girlfriends and cars, and asked his family for money from time to time. The stereotype of the rich second generation overflowed the screen. As a result, his life ushered in a turning point.

When the memory reached this point, Wen Xishu actually felt a sense of joy, but what happened was that An Jincheng was kidnapped.

Even for the Sanqiu Group, paying a ransom of 12 trillion yuan was a bit painful. This was a kidnapping that shocked the whole world. It could be said to be comparable to the kidnapping of the century in Longxia Hong Kong Island.

A useless person who has no knowledge or skills, who has almost no real power in the group, who only asks the group for money every day, who is greedy and never does anything... is he worth the price?
The An family actually started a discussion. Many people actually thought that the group should be handed over to the police. If the ransom was paid, it would be a slap in the face of the An family, which would reduce the prestige of the An family, cause stock fluctuations, and may attract the attention of other criminals in the future.

In the An family, there are still some people who hope that An Jincheng will die.

But no one expected that An Youxuan, the future heir of the An family, would go against the majority's opinion and demand, with an absolutely unnegotiable attitude, that An Jincheng's safety be guaranteed.

An Jincheng was finally rescued, the ransom was paid, and the case was solved later. The An family did not suffer any losses. Only An Jincheng suffered some abuse and injuries, and was lying in the private hospital of the Sanqiu Group receiving an IV drip.

During his convalescence, apart from An Jincheng's parents, only An Youxuan came to visit him.

Emotions flooded in during this part of the memory.

"Brother...you, are you willing to come and see me?"

In the ward, An Jincheng looked at An Youxuan in disbelief. An Youxuan's expression was still serious, but his eyes were red:
"You've been in such a big situation, how could I not come to see you, Ah Cheng, you can have fun however you want. Since you made your choice many years ago, I won't ask you anything. You can treat this world as an amusement park. It doesn't matter how many ridiculous things you do in the eyes of others."

"But you can't ignore your own safety!"

An Jincheng was stunned. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

An Youxuan sat beside the bed and made a move that An Jincheng would remember for the rest of his life. The elder brother who seemed to be obsessed with the Sanqiu Group and whose whole mind was on improving himself... He poked his younger brother's forehead gently with his finger.

Just like what the elder brother did to his younger brother before he died in the comic story he wanted to share many years ago.

"Promise me, Ah Cheng, this is the last time."

An Youxuan smiled. He was once rated as the most serious man in the city by the media. In fact, he can laugh. An Jincheng's tears suddenly welled up. It turned out that his brother had read that comic.

He recommended these comics to his brother, who didn't really find them boring, he just hoped that his brother could realize his talent and not waste it. But privately, he still remembered the things his brother recommended, and every day when he didn't have enough time, he still took time out to read the comics, which now seemed childish.

He even memorized his brother's movements in it because that was what his younger brother liked.

An Youxuan couldn't judge whether the brother in the story was right to abandon his people for the village, but at least, they all had the same heart of being willing to bear everything for their younger brother.

An Youxuan said softly:
"I am a stupid brother. Even when I was in school, I knew that I didn't have the talent like you. I should have given up."

"But since you have made your choice... then I should work harder. I think I should use all my time, every minute and every second, to catch up with grandpa."

"Acheng... I'm about to be able to change the world. So please don't get into any trouble."

An Jincheng burst into tears, crying for his own misjudgment. It turned out that his brother had never forgotten what he said when he was a child.

The world is wrong. Don't doubt yourself. You must become strong to change the world and correct this mistake.

Many people are not qualified to say this, but An Youxuan is qualified. However, even so, he still has to make 120,000 efforts to fulfill this statement.

In this process, he is destined to become lonely and suffer misunderstanding and unprecedented pressure.

An Jincheng kept saying sorry, and An Youxuan gently touched his brother's hair:
"You have never let me down. You are the most generous person in the world. You gave me everything. Ah Cheng, I hope my efforts can be worthy of your sacrifice."

An Jincheng said:
"Brother, what if the kidnappers don't want a specific number...what if they want you to give up the Sanqiu Group?"

An Jincheng was just joking, but now he was like a good kid who got a good deal. He was obviously very happy, but he still asked some questions.

An Youxuan shook his head:
"Why would you make such an assumption, brother? I won't let you be in that kind of danger again."

This pair of brothers are actually making concessions for each other.

When the younger brother thought that his elder brother was eager for the power and wealth of the Sanqiu Group, he began to corrupt himself.

When the elder brother thought that his younger brother was unwilling to bear all the intrigues and deceptions, he began to work harder to make the world a paradise for his younger brother.

This pair of brothers did not become enemies as described in the story.

The relationship between the two brothers is pure, and it doesn't seem like they were born in a chaebol family. Wen Xishu really didn't expect to see such a brotherly love in this barrage.

After the kidnapping incident, An Jincheng became much more sensible. Although he still maintained the attitude of a playboy, leaving his grandfather with no other choice, he would never do anything that would bring shame to the family or embarrass his brother again.

It was as if he had changed from a child who longed for his brother's attention to a sensible child who no longer caused trouble for his brother.

If there was no doomsday, if there was no Scorpio, if An Rong, the old man of the Sanqiu Group, could accept his death like an ordinary person...

Maybe in the future, the top chaebols in Caicheng will try to change the world. Maybe in the future, this pair of brothers will be able to break the fate of countless brothers in the top chaebols.

But fate did not let the brothers go.

……

……

Time has passed for only a brief moment.

After Wen Xishu felt the memories in An Jincheng's mental barrage, he suddenly found himself somewhat out of control. An irrepressible emotion rose from deep within his heart. This emotion did not come from anything else, but from the original memory of this body.

When Wen Xishu felt the memories of the An brothers, he also felt other memories at the same time.

A hazy memory came back, it was in the bunker.

"When the morning flower blooms, all other flowers boast; when the evening tree grows up, it is a fool." The children sang the song, and the lyrics described the two brothers of the Wen family.

Unlike An Youxuan and An Jincheng, Wen Chaohua and Wen Xishu seem to be from different worlds.

An Jincheng was naturally more talented than An Youxuan, but the gap between the two brothers was not so big that it could not be bridged.

But hearing the morning flowers and hearing the evening trees are different.

The morning flower is the best among flowers, and the evening tree is the rotten wood among trees. These words show how talented Wen Chaohua is, and also how stupid Wen Xishu is.

A silly younger brother and a genius older brother, they shouldn't have too much overlap in the future.

But Wen Xishu discovered... in almost every part of this sudden memory, this silly brother was not alone.

"Brother, what do they mean by Hundred Flowers and Fools?"

"Stupid kids always sing along with others. Don't pay attention to them. By the way, next time someone sings this song, tell me who it is."

……

"Brother, I'm hungry. I want to eat the sweet and cool one from last time."

"That's ice cream. It may not be in the supplies we brought back... But don't worry, when I grow up, I'll go to the three towers to make it for you. I'll learn how to make it manually. I'll go to the functional floor later to see if there's any ready-made."

"Well, can I play with new toys?"

"Then draw it. As long as there is one in the three towers, I will bring it to you."

……

"Chaohua, forget it, Xiaoshu has been bullied outside for a long time. It's our fault for not keeping an eye on him."

“Forget it, Xishu, come with me, point out whoever bullied you!”

"He's... stupid. He's just a child. How can he remember all this? What if he points to the wrong thing?"

"If you point at the wrong person, bad luck will come to that person."

……

"Brother, my cousin said I was your follower. What is a follower?"

"Hmm? Which cousin? The second uncle's? Oh, a tail-chaser means a good brother, but you can just call a good brother a good brother in the future. Wait for me here for a while, I'll go stretch my muscles with your cousin, wait for me to come back."

……

"Brother, Dad said you are going to the academy. Can I go with you? They said I can't get in."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. If you want to go, I'll take you there. It's not a rare place. It's just a bunch of not-so-smart idiots and a bunch of not-so-smart sissies who are even worse than the idiots."

……

"Brother, have you been to the Three Pagodas? Is it fun there?"

"It's fun, Ah Shu, wait a minute, you'll become smart soon, and then you can come with me!"

……

Memories and conversations came to his mind one after another. This sudden surge of anger made Wen Xishu's forehead swell and ache.

He wanted to suppress this emotion, but he found that the soul dormant in his body seemed not to be completely dead...

Or maybe he was just too stupid and was sleeping.

These days, Wen Xishu has been trying to recall the memories of this body, but those memories are like treasures locked in the deepest part of his consciousness.

That is to say, today, when the mental barrage related to brothers began to enter Wen Xishu's brain... the memory of another "Wen Xishu" finally emerged actively.

A huge feeling of loneliness surrounded Wen Xishu. He saw a fool cursing and roaring in prison like a frightened child.

Because it’s different from before, every time the fool was bullied, there would always be someone who would show up.

But he waited in prison for a long time, and the man never showed up again.

Wen Xishu had never had this experience before, as if there was another "self" hidden deep in his soul.

That "self" was wary of Wen Xishu and was always unwilling to let Wen Xishu peek into those memories.

But the memory of the An brothers made another self...miss his brother.

At this moment, Wen Xishu seemed to have thought of how to awaken his memory.

An Jincheng discovered that something was wrong with Wen Xishu. The man seemed to be in some kind of pain. Suddenly, he pressed his forehead with one hand and clenched his teeth.

About half a minute later, Wen Xishu's expression gradually returned to normal:

"Sorry, my ability seems to have some side effects."

"Your ability? Could it be that you..."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"I told you that your grandfather's miracle was Scorpio, and your miracle is me. If you don't want your brother to inherit An Zhenqi's name, you must fully cooperate with me."

An Jincheng is still very vigilant:

"Why should I trust you?"

Wen Xishu said:
"You have read the plan of Niqi. In this game that will become a miracle, your grandfather An Rong will absorb the power of seven sacrifices."

"I now know that you intend to die for your brother. But let's not talk about whether you are a qualified sacrifice. Even if you are, do you think An Youxuan can survive?"

An Jincheng murmured:
"Grandpa loves my brother too... If I am lost, then Grandpa can evolve into the miracle he wants... If the doomsday really comes, he will protect my brother, right?"

Wen Xishu sneered:
"You are really just better at reading than An Youxuan. When it comes to dismantling human nature, you should learn from your brother."

"Your grandfather is already a monster. Regardless of whether he has completed the miraculous evolution or not, when he kneeled before Scorpio without hesitation and decided to abandon you... he had already surpassed the human stage in terms of his character."

An Jincheng didn't say anything. He subconsciously wanted to refute Wen Xishu, but he couldn't find a reason. He was afraid of his grandfather An Rongzai, who was an extremely terrifying old man.

Wen Xishu continued:
"Reverse Seven reverses the seven sinful roots of seven people, but in other words, it absorbs the seven sinful roots of seven people."

"Will a person who is extremely greedy, extremely tyrannical, extremely lustful, extremely jealous, extremely gluttonous, extremely arrogant, and extremely lazy really protect An Youxuan?"

An Jincheng stood up, but suddenly collapsed on the sofa. His eyes were full of struggle:

"But what can I do? Even if everything you said is true, what can I change?"

"Grandpa controls several fully armed armies, and there are also various talented people around him. Do you know how terrible the Sanqiu Group is?"

"In the entire Caicheng, grandpa can be said to be able to call the wind and rain. In this city controlled by the chaebol, he is the real emperor. What he is doing now, in my opinion... is like being promoted to a god."

"How can I fight against a god? All I can do is sacrifice myself so that my brother can survive."

Wen Xishu's emotions have completely stabilized. He felt An Jincheng's inner fear of An Rong. It seemed that everyone in the An family was afraid of that old man.

"In theory, there is a way, but you have to trust me absolutely, and... in your memory, although you two brothers have a good relationship, I'm not sure if that's your subjective idea. Is he willing to give up everything for you?"

"Maybe your brother is pretending?"

An Jincheng shook his head confidently:

"I believe in my brother. You don't need to question our brotherly feelings."

Wen Xishu said:
"That's good, of course. Then, do you have the courage to face your grandfather? I can tell you very clearly that if you don't have the courage to disobey your grandfather's arrangement..."

"You will die, and your brother will die too."

In fact, An Jincheng gradually began to believe this, and realized that some things cannot be changed by dying.

He was silent for a while before asking:
"Do you really have a way? Can you really save us?"

Wen Xishu nodded:
"I told you, I am your miracle."

Thinking of his grandfather An Rong, An Jincheng was still afraid, but in the end he made a decision:
"My brother cannot die. He absolutely cannot die. If you are here to save him, then I am willing to cooperate with you!"

Wen Xishu breathed a sigh of relief.

Things finally made some progress here. He knew the correct plot of the story, and most importantly, at this moment An Jincheng had the desire to fight against An Rongzai.

"But let me make it clear in advance that we currently do not have the ability to kill your grandfather."

Wen Xishu said this somewhat helplessly.

His attributes are still too low. It's okay for him and Tang Rui to kill a few scums on a rainy night, but to kill a big shot of a country, or a big shot who has already realized the existence of strange things... He is not capable of it with his current abilities.

Wen Xishu thought that the matter of going to the Slaughter Tower really had to be put on the agenda. He must possess some of the attributes of the Slaughter Tower so that he could move freely in the Desire Tower.

No matter how complicated the situation in the Ghost Tower is, I will just kill, kill, kill, and kill all the bad guys in the Desire Tower, and then there will be no more unlucky guys in the Ghost Tower.

Of course, at this stage, he can't do that.

Fortunately, in Wen Xishu's opinion, the current situation is not unsolvable. After all, this is only the task of the seventh floor. Not the seventieth or seventy-seventh floor.

"Listen carefully, this game has initiators and opponents. Your grandfather and that Scorpio are the initiators. You, me, and your brother An Youxuan are the opponents."

"For us, the winning condition of the game is that you can survive. The end is approaching, and you two brothers have other missions."

"So from the perspective of survival, we can start from two directions."

An Jincheng said:
"You mean, escape?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Yes."

An Jincheng shook his head:
"I thought about my brother and I running away to another city. But grandpa wouldn't let us escape. Moreover, although my brother believed in me, if I suddenly told him that grandpa wanted to kill us... the world is about to undergo drastic changes. Even if the most trustworthy person said these words, people would still doubt them, right?"

"What's more, I can't leave here in my current situation. Once I walk out of this room, those people outside will push me back. You can see... those people outside have become like monsters. It's like they've been hypnotized."

"These people are actually all family members of the grassroots employees of the Sanqiu Group. Under the instigation of my grandfather, they built the Miracle Building together."

"Inside this building, they are losing themselves little by little. There have been a lot of reports recently about how weird the Miracle Building is."

"But under Grandpa's operation, and with these people already controlled by Grandpa, no one will be able to find out what happened here!"

"I'm in this room and I can't even contact my brother. I can't escape from here, I can't see him, I can't communicate with him."

Wen Xishu nodded:

“So we started plan two.”

Amgen is puzzled:
"What about plan two?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Remember what Scorpio said? This is a game. As long as it's a game, there is a solution. You said earlier that these people came here and lost themselves little by little inside the building."

"And the plan also clearly states that sacrifices are needed, so we can understand the entire Miracle Building... as a formation."

"The formation has two stages, or two functions: creating puppets, and creating demons."

An Jincheng was surprised:

"Demon? Why do you use this word to describe it?"

Wen Xishu did not hide it:

"This is a clue to the game. One of my tasks is to find the demon behind this. Well, it's most likely your grandfather. But that's not what we have to do now. What we have to do now is to prevent the second stage from coming."

"In the first phase of the mission, your grandfather needs to gather 630 people. At the moment, it seems that they haven't gathered enough, so we still have time."

An Jincheng didn't ask the origin of these numbers. Now he could only trust Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu continued:
"But the first stage function of the formation, 'creating puppets', has indeed begun to take effect. People who come here will slowly lose their identity and be assimilated into puppets by the building."

“But a building itself should not have these functions.”

"This shows that there is some kind of device, or a source of strange power, somewhere in this building. It is this strange power... that has eroded the minds of these people."

An Jincheng suddenly realized, he looked at Wen Xishu:

"You mean... we have to find the source of this strange power! Whether it's a device or some special magnetic field, we have to destroy it. After destroying it, I can leave here!"

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"correct answer."

"No matter how powerful your grandfather is, in this world, he is just a very rich man. He has not completely gotten rid of the constraints of various rules on him."

"If we destroy the source of that strange power, then these people may wake up. Even if they don't wake up, at least they won't be controlled by your grandfather anymore."

"The people in green clothes in this building will become a mess that your grandfather will need to deal with. By then, you and An Youxuan will have the possibility to leave this city!"

"So, we must first find something to break the strange power of this building."

In fact, according to Wen Xishu's idea, it would be great if they could just blow up the building. The scene in the Ghost Tower would be difficult to destroy...but it's different for the Desire Tower.

However, it is difficult to blow up this building, and An Jincheng will also die. He must first break the strange power of this building and take An Jincheng away.

An Jincheng nodded:
"Okay! What do I need to do?"

Wen Xishu noticed that there was a different light in An Jincheng's eyes, that was courage and belief.

Wen Xishu said:
"So please think carefully. You, who have read the plan, are most clear about the details of the Miracle Building."

"Among the various structures and design lines of this building, is there anything that you find particularly strange?"

　(Tomorrow's 10,000 words will probably wrap up the Desire Tower part.)
