Chapter 97 Phoenix
Chapter 97 Phoenix
Everyone was a little confused.
Today's Feiji is really a huge contrast. Usually, the two most stupid people in this building are Feiji and Lele.
But today the plane gave everyone a mysterious feeling.
Wen Xishu quickly brought everyone to 4-26.
At 4-26 in the Desire Tower, everything in the room looked very tidy, and the quilt on the bed was neatly folded.
You can see the embryos of many items, which are still in the construction stage.
At the same time, 4-26 also has a pen. The pen has no pattern and looks like a white metal straw.
Wen Xishu searched and found the blank piece of paper under the bedside table.
In the timeline, although the Tower of Desire is before the Tower of Strangeness, it seems that this piece of paper is no different from the one in the Tower of Strangeness and does not appear to be newer.
"Here, I need to ask you one thing. Are you grateful to Ding Dong from the bottom of your heart?" Wen Xishu looked at everyone.
Mo Yuan said:
"Of course...I actually like him quite a bit."
Grandma Wu said:
"After what happened with my daughter, I treated Ding Dong as my own child."
Xiangyang said:
"He is half a teacher to me. Although he didn't teach me, he made me no longer confused and lost."
Lei Yihong said:
"I am very grateful to him. Ding Dong is my relative."
Lele just giggled and added:
"Everyone is telling the truth, hehehe, the truth."
Wen Xishu said:
"Logically, the item hidden on this floor that's enough to protect us, Ding Dong will tell you."
"But for some reason, Ding Dong seemed to have left before he could say anything because of some unexpected situation."
"I'm sorry, I can't reveal this part of the secret, but I think all you need to do is draw a star on this piece of paper with this pen."
As Wen Xishu spoke, he drew the symbol “※” on the bedside table with his finger.
Everyone was puzzled, and Mo Yuan asked:
"Why this? What...what does this mean? Airplane, how did you know this symbol?"
Wen Xishu shook his head and said:
"It's hard for me to explain, but please just think of me as someone who has divine help today."
No one was surprised, or rather, being surprised was of no use. To everyone, the plane seemed to have summoned a god and had become a different person.
But deep down they still believe in airplanes.
Seeing that no one asked further questions, Wen Xishu continued:
"Anyway, after I woke up and Ding Dong left, I got some... revelations."
Things that cannot be explained are handled with unknown forces. Wen Xishu deliberately connected Ding Dong's departure with his own awakening.
In this way, people who had already experienced many miracles would find it easier to believe him.
In fact, Wen Xishu has always been thinking that there are many ways to draw a five-star review. According to the usual meaning, it should be drawn as a heart.
But why did Ding Dong choose to use "※"? Wen Xishu pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
I just think this symbol looks very familiar.
Everyone believed in the plane. In order to rescue or find Ding Dong as soon as possible, Mo Yuan was the first to pick up the pen and draw a ※ on the paper.
Afterwards, Grandma Wu, Xiangyang, Lele, and Lei Yihong all drew on paper.
When all five ※ were drawn, everything was very similar to the scene when Wen Xishu was in the strange tower.
Lele's pipe, Xiangyang's rice cooker, the desk lamp in Mo Yuan's hand... all were covered with a layer of luster. The difference was that when Wen Xishu was in the Weird Tower, after he finished drawing the five ※, the luster of the desk lamp was much dimmer.
And in the Desire Tower, at this moment, the luster of these items is dazzling.
"Grandma Wu, go to your room and get your radio. I think the ceremony has already begun."
Grandma Wu nodded and trotted to 4-8. The rest of the people had pale faces, not knowing what was going on.
Wen Xishu didn't know what the ritual was, but he knew that the reactions of these items were definitely different from what they were like after he drew the five ※ in the Weird Tower.
Because he is not the owner of the five ultimate hearts. In history, the character of the airplane later died of suicide, and he really died.
Wen Xishu did not play a key role. In the Ghost Tower, Wen Xishu was just an investigator.
But the situation is different now. Wen Xishu realized that another meaning of the five-heart praise is the blessing of the owner who has collected five ultimate hearts. And these five people are likely to have some qualifications.
However, the content of this blessing was a strange symbol, and Wen Xishu never understood the meaning of this symbol.
Grandma Wu quickly brought the radio over.
With the arrival of the radio, Wen Xishu felt that there was obviously some connection between these five items.
Five items,
The lamp, which symbolizes eyes, emitted a beam of light, and a pair of eyes appeared above Mo Yuan's head. The radio also emitted a beam of light, and a pattern of ears appeared above Grandma Yu Wu's head.
The same went for Lele, Xiangyang, Lei Yihong and a few others. Patterns of nose, mouth and feet appeared on their heads respectively.
These patterns were each connected by a line, but Wen Xishu immediately discovered that something was missing, resulting in a blank section in what should have been a hexagon.
Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and feet.
"No, it's still missing a hand."
Wen Xishu remembered that he still had a pair of gloves, so he immediately went to 4-22.
It was in room 4-22 that Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai discovered the gloves, and there was also a piece of paper in the bedside table.
There is a stick figure drawn on the paper.
Wen Xishu understood everything at this time. He picked up the paper and the gloves and went to 4-26.
Soon, a pattern of two hands appeared above Wen Xishu's head while he was holding the gloves.
When all the items were gathered at 4-26, the patterns floating above everyone's heads finally formed a hexagon.
The stickman's head was a simple circle, and its body was a narrow hexagon. The white paper on which the stickman was drawn suddenly began to take on a golden luster.
Wen Xishu noticed that the double-foot pattern on Lei Yihong's head had disappeared.
Or rather, it did not disappear, but was transferred to the white paper. The extremely simple stickman legs soon had many rich details.
Next, the patterns of the hands on the gloves were transferred to the white paper. Just like before, the matchstick man's hands soon had many details and were no longer simple, as if they were real hands.
Later, the stickman had a mouth, and the first facial features appeared in the round head.
At this moment, everyone noticed that the image on the white paper could no longer be described as a "stickman".
It started to get richer and richer.
Its body has become richer because of its hands and feet.
Then, the nose and ears appeared. The face showed details that were familiar to Grandma Wu and others:
Lele cheered:
"It's Brother Ding Dong, is Brother Ding Dong coming back?"
Everyone thinks so, but unfortunately, the pipe gets longer. This is a lie.
Ding Dong will not come back, and if he comes back, he will not be the Ding Dong in the original sense.
Wen Xishu waited patiently. There was only one final step left for the painting: the finishing touch.
The pattern of two eyes finally appeared on the drawing paper. Wen Xishu did not look at the drawing paper, but at the gloves.
Eyes, ears, mouth, nose and feet all have corresponding people, but why is there no one for the extremely important hands? The stick figure on the drawing paper has already become rich under the "ritual". The person on the drawing paper is Ding Dong. When the eyes appear, all the luster gradually fades.
Soon, everything in the room returned to normal. After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke:
"This...what on earth happened? Feiji, can you explain it?" The speaker was Mo Yuan.
Xiangyang touched his chin:
"Is there any connection between this painting and this glove?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"I think this is what Ding Dong left for you to protect."
Lei Yihong was quite puzzled:
"But how should this be used? I have seen this glove before. It's the glove Ding Dong used when he made things. You should remember it, right? He always wears this glove. He doesn't even take it off when he sleeps."
The others nodded, and Mo Yuan also remembered that once she wanted to hold Ding Dong's hand, but the touch was the touch of a leather glove.
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"It shouldn't be the gloves. The ability of the gloves is also very important. I guess the gloves are the switch, but the truly powerful item is this drawing paper."
Wen Xishu did not continue to add after he finished speaking, but thought for a while. He began to think, if he were Ding Dong, what kind of items would he design?
First of all, the end of the world has come, monsters are everywhere, and strange rules are everywhere. In this situation, no props can guarantee to protect Grandma Wu and others 100%.
Some of Ding Dong's props are very buggy, and Ding Dong's abilities are undoubtedly very powerful.
The most terrifying thing about an inventor is not a certain item he has made, but his imagination and creativity.
Considering this, Wen Xishu looked at the paper again:
"This is a portrait of Ding Dong. At first it was just a 'skeleton', but with the touches left by you, it has flesh and blood and soul. The only power I can imagine for this item is to summon Ding Dong."
Everyone was shocked, and then everyone smiled. Mo Yuan asked hurriedly:
"Summon Ding Dong? Ding Dong... is he still alive? Does that mean... this drawing paper can bring Ding Dong back?"
Wen Xishu shook his head, his hands already touching the gloves. He was going to put on the gloves to see if there was any way to "activate" this portrait of Ding Dong.
"I think the Ding Dong in the painting will give us the answer."
Wen Xishu said this while putting on gloves on both hands. When Ding Dong's gloves touched the drawing paper with Ding Dong on it...
Five ※ patterns appeared on the gloves, and then the air around them began to distort. Everyone's eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
In the twisting space, Wen Xishu felt that the gloves were rejecting him. At the same time, Scorpio's cheating knife suddenly shook.
Wen Xishu actually felt like two objects were fighting each other. What surprised Wen Xishu even more was that a hint appeared in his mind.
[You can always find those hidden, unnoticed cheating items. But this item does not belong to you, it belongs to the five people who should have been drowned in the doomsday wave.]
[In the cruel doomsday environment, not loving, not believing, not helping, not doing, and not supporting are the true rules of survival. Although they have the qualifications, they obviously won't live long.]
[But now, you have a chance to change all this. If you kill them, you can take away the ownership of the gloves. Only the owner of the gloves can become the owner of the portrait. Anyway, their fate has not changed. Or do you decide to abandon this great miracle and return everything to them? ]
A: Seize the [Phoenix Gloves] and become the master of the portrait.
B: Give up [Phoenix Gloves] and throw away this opportunity.
Time seemed to stand still, and the expressions of Mo Yuan, Grandma Wu and others around were frozen.
No matter what role they played in the Doomsday, in the Desire Tower, they were just NPCs, and Wen Xishu was the real player. So at this time, only Wen Xishu was able to act.
Of course, players can also take everything from NPCs.
At this moment, Wen Xishu seemed to be standing at a crossroads, and he had to make a choice.
"Phoenix gloves, so the name of this thing is Phoenix? Why is it called Phoenix?"
Wen Xishu suddenly thought of the ※ sign.
His ability to relate is very strong. Why is this glove called the Phoenix Glove? And why, Ding Dong obviously couldn't let go of these people...but chose to die outside.
With the appearance of the word "Phoenix", he actually had some idea. He suddenly thought of the constellations. In addition to the twelve constellations that people are familiar with, there is actually another constellation called Phoenix.
This idea immediately excited Wen Xishu. The center of the Phoenix constellation's astronomical pattern looked like a huge X from a distance.
If we include the surrounding star clusters, and use dots to represent dense star clusters...isn't that the pattern?
The fate of the phoenix is to be reborn from the ashes.
However, it is somewhat far-fetched to make such speculation just because of the name of a glove.
The light finally began to fade, and the surrounding scene was no longer still, because Wen Xishu loosened his grip on the scroll and took off his gloves.
The people around looked at each other, and finally Lei Yihong asked:
"Plane...what happened just now? How do you use this thing? Have you found a way?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"I am different from the five of you. My connection with Ding Dong is not that deep. I cannot use this item."
Scorpio's knife no longer trembles, but remains quiet, as if it had never trembled before.
Wen Xishu handed the gloves to Mo Yuan:
"Mo Yuan, you can do it. Just touch Ding Dong's portrait with your gloves. Ding Dong will give you the answer."
Mo Yuan put on the gloves, not quite understanding what was going on. Once again, the person wearing the gloves began to touch Ding Dong's portrait.
But this time, the golden light suddenly surged, and Mo Yuan did not feel repelled by the gloves.
And in the huge golden light, a figure seemed to walk out from the endless void.
"Ding...Ding Dong! It's really him!" Xiangyang said in surprise.
Lele also clapped his hands and said:
"It's Brother Ding Dong! It's Brother Ding Dong!!"
His pipe became longer, indicating that this sentence did not point to the truth. But no one cared about it. Everyone's face was filled with joy.
Including Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu knew that this person was not Ding Dong, but he should have everything that Ding Dong had, and also what Ding Dong didn't have.
This is an upgraded version of Ding Dong, a Ding Dong that was born after the decision of a confused person.
The golden light gradually faded, and Ding Dong in the painting finally came in front of everyone. "Ding Dong" looked at everyone and said softly:
"We meet again, A Yuan, Granny, Le Le, Brother Xiang, Brother Yi Hong. Forgive me for leaving in such a hurry that day, but I knew that you would be able to find me."
The Ding Dong in everyone's eyes is flesh and blood, and is no different from the Ding Dong in their impressions.
Even this Ding Dong feels more vivid to them and has more emotion than the Ding Dong they already know.
"This...this, it's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!" There were tears in Grandma Wu's eyes.
Mo Yuan even hugged Ding Dong directly. Xiang Yang smiled, Lei Yihong was obviously relieved, and Lele kept clapping.
Wen Xishu said:
"Everyone is happy about your return, but I think you should explain to us what is going on, right?"
Wen Xishu didn't make the choice to seize the gloves. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he felt that this option was extremely risky. If he killed the key target, it would be considered a mission failure.
Wen Xishu didn't dare to verify this. What would happen if he killed the target? Has anyone ever done this in history?
At the same time, deep down he felt that these people deserved to survive. Their lives had already been failures because they insisted on certain things, but perhaps in a world that was about to be broken, they could survive.
Although he did not admit that this idea was part of his logic.
Ding Dong looked at Wen Xishu with surprise, then smiled:
"You are the plane? That's great. It seems I'm lucky. Congratulations on regaining consciousness. I also want to tell you about what happened to me."
Wen Xishu nodded. He had a feeling that Ding Dong could see that he was not a plane.
Wen Xishu felt a little strange about the change in Ding Dong's expression just now, but there was no hostility in Ding Dong.
The sentence "It seems I'm lucky" seems to have a deeper meaning.
Ding Dong's first sentence surprised everyone:
“I’m actually a fugitive.”
