Chapter 99 I will create the strange tower level

A series of questions drew everyone's attention to Wen Xishu. Although Grandma Wu and the others were also listening, they were only impressed by Ding Dong's bizarre life experience and his unique experiences.

At the same time, they were also confused. It was Wen Xishu's questions that made them realize the key points in Ding Dong's stories.

Ding Dong was not surprised that Wen Xishu would ask these questions, and he did not avoid these questions.

"In fact, the correct way to put it is that I am Ding Dong now. I was not Ding Dong before. Ding Dong was the nickname my father gave me."

"My real name was actually Phoenix."

After discovering that Wen Xishu was not that surprised, Ding Dong also wondered about Wen Xishu's true identity.

He knew that it was the "plane" that completed the ritual, so that he could complete the remodeling. Ding Dong, who had the "five ※", was naturally very grateful to the "plane".

But at the same time, Ding Dong also recognized the small knife with a scorpion pattern on Wen Xishu's waist. When Ding Dong told the whole story, his eyes were almost always on Wen Xishu. He deliberately talked about his past experience in the research institute just to observe Wen Xishu's reaction.

He did not smell any hostility from Wen Xishu. This made Ding Dong have a friendly guess about Wen Xishu's identity, and he continued:

"Let me first tell you how to get rid of the curse. It's actually very simple. I just need to die once."

"In my previous story, there were twelve patients with severe symptoms and five with mild symptoms. The five of us with mild symptoms were actually prey."

"We had to keep a low profile and avoid those twelve seriously ill patients, but unfortunately, they still found me. The compass gave me that dream. I used the compass to deduce it 907 times, and the result is that I can't escape death. The gap between my strength and theirs is too big."

"I will die. So I began to use the compass to show another possibility, which is to preserve my memories and use the ritual to create a new me."

Wen Xishu noticed that Ding Dong used the word creation rather than resurrection.

It can be seen that "Phoenix" is indeed dead. The Ding Dong in front of us is a being created by Phoenix.

Of course, with the power of Phoenix, the Ding Dong that was created must also have extraordinary power. Combined with the heaven-defying props in the Weird Tower Museum, Phoenix is ​​actually very powerful.

But even so, he still said that the gap between them and the twelve zodiac signs was too big. It was hard to imagine how strong those guys were.

Ding Dong continued:

"The compass really gave me a solution. The compass is indeed the greatest item I have ever created. Of course, in the future, maybe I can surpass my past self."

"In short, following the plan provided by the compass and its guidance, I came here, met everyone, and saw the five purest hearts that my father mentioned."

“I hope that the me who was created, that is, who I am now, can possess these five virtues. Now it seems that although I have not achieved the most perfect result, it is not far off.”

Wen Xishu could feel Ding Dong's pride in successfully making the compass.

It’s like, when you were a child, the person who loved you the most would ask you to study. This process was naturally painful, but you still persisted.

You may not have a good life in the future, you may still encounter a lot of trouble, and life may make you lose a layer of skin. But the knowledge you have learned may change your trajectory at a critical moment.

This is the case with the compass. Professor Jin can be said to be truly far-sighted. He almost overdrawn the capabilities of Phoenix, allowing him to successfully create the compass.

All of this was actually to help Ding Dong get rid of the curse. This made Wen Xishu somewhat envious.

"So what is your real purpose for opening a museum?" Wen Xishu asked again.

Ding Dong said:

"In order to leave no regrets, I hope to create more interesting items. After all, death is approaching, and I want to fully exert all my abilities before death comes."

"I am very scared of my brothers and sisters. I am worried that the demonstration of the compass will not be stronger than their power. Maybe I will not be able to be born smoothly."

"So I opened a museum here, thinking that even without me, these items might be able to help grandma and her family withstand some risks."

In a sense, Ding Dong's worries were correct. If it weren't for Wen Xishu's appearance, his birth would have been overlooked by Grandma Wu and others. It's just that these items can't cope with the end of the world.

Wen Xishu asked again:
"The person who killed you was one of your brothers and sisters. Can you tell him who it was?"

Ding Dong shook his head:

"I will not mention their names. I don't want to be associated with them anymore."

"Pisces?" Wen Xishu asked directly.

Ding Dong was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head:
"Airplane, thank you for showing up, but I won't answer your question anymore."

Wen Xishu could also understand:
"Okay, let me ask you one more question, what are you going to do now?"

Ding Dong looked at Mo Yuan and others:

"I want to leave here with everyone and go to a place far away from the end of the world. Jiangcheng is still too dangerous. Airplane, are you willing to leave with us?"

Ding Dong invited seriously.

Wen Xishu shook his head, but he also thought about a question - in the three towers, is there a mechanism for the bunker people to transform into the three tower people?

So far, there is only the saying that the bunker people died in the three towers, and there has never been any saying that the bunker people were converted into three tower people.

So Wen Xishu could only listen to Ding Dong's invitation.

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you. I'm different from you guys. I have things I need to do after I sober up."

Ding Dong did not force it. He didn't know what the "plane" was, but he thought of what his father had said - maybe in the future, we will meet in another way.

Ding Dong said:

"Well, I respect your choice. Anyway, thank you very much for showing up. This way, I can protect everyone again."

Thinking about it now, Grandma Wu and the others found it incredible. They had originally planned to open the door and go to the outside world. If it weren't for the help of the plane, I'm afraid all five of them would have been in danger.

The five people were all grateful to the plane, and they also hoped that the plane could leave here with them.

However, since Wen Xishu had already decided to leave, the five people did not force him:

"The same goes for us, Feiji. No matter what, we are very grateful to you! We hope that you will be safe and everything will go well in the future." Mo Yuan said.

Grandma Wu smiled and nodded, while Xiang Yang and Lei Yihong patted Wen Xishu on the shoulder.

Wen Xishu said:
"Yes, you must take care of yourselves. I also hope that you can stay away from all disputes and dangers."

As the departure was approaching, Wen Xishu was not sad. He was just wondering about one question - why had the task not been completed yet?
Logically speaking, the moment Ding Dong emerged from the portrait, he would have successfully completed his mission.

Now the patients at 4-1, 4-8, 4-12, 4-16, and 4-18 should all be very happy, and their fate trajectories have been rewritten. Why hasn't the prompt for the task being completed appeared yet?

The answer soon appeared. Just as Wen Xishu was wondering how to end it, Ding Dong suddenly said:

"Airplane, can I ask you a favor?"

It turns out there is a new task. Wen Xishu immediately became interested:

"We are all friends, just talk."

Ding Dong looked serious:

"I actually... made a small compass. The power of destiny contained in the small compass is very small, but when you are at a loss, it can help you. Maybe it will give you a more obscure dream warning, or directly point you in a certain direction."

"I can give you this little compass, but you have to promise me one thing."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"If you think I can do it."

Ding Dong said:

"The small compass can help you... find the remaining four of the five of us. I'm already, I'm considered dead. But I hope they can survive."

"Don't let the only god in the apocalypse be born. All I can do is protect the four of them."

"They are Sirius, Wuxian, Tianqin, and Qilin."

Sirius, Hercules, Lyra, Monoceros.

It was different from what Wen Xishu thought of as Aries, Draco, Andromeda, and Pegasus...

I didn’t expect that they were four extremely unpopular constellations.

"They are just like me, hiding from the pursuit of other brothers and sisters. I hope that during your journey, I can help find them and keep them alive if possible."

"Perhaps they know some of the things you are looking for."

Wen Xishu also received a hidden mission at this time. [After observation, Ding Dong is convinced that you are a trustworthy person. Receive a hidden mission to find and recruit Lu·Sirius, Lu·Hercules, Lu·Lyra, and Lu·Urinus.]

This was a task that could not be refused, and Wen Xishu did not care too much about it. Since he could not refuse, he would just enjoy the task. What's more, he also got a compass that seemed to have good properties.

"Okay, I promise you."

[Obtained item: Pseudo-Destiny Compass. Please go to the guide to check the specific attributes.]

Wen Xishu began to receive prompts one after another, and he now felt that... it seemed that the mission was about to end.

Normally, Wen Xishu only needs to wait patiently for the mission to be completed, but this time, he plans to try something new.

In fact, he had wanted to make such an attempt a long time ago. Time was running out, and Wen Xishu's brain was working rapidly:
"If nothing unexpected happens, my mission will be completed and they will pack up and leave."

"Then I will receive a prompt telling me about the mission on the eighth floor. The Great Inventor's fate has undergone a major change...so the missions related to the Tower of Trickery and the Tower of Desire will be restarted, and their fate will be re-anchored."

"That's a good thing...but the simulation will start next. Then the memories of everyone in the Weird Tower will be replaced. And after the Weird Tower scene restarts, some strategies may not be applicable."

"For example, before, I changed from rescuing Jennifer to escorting Jennifer. The various strategies for rescuing Jennifer can no longer be used."

"I always thought that this was a fixed process and that as players, we had no room for maneuver. But I should try it."

"In the previous version, the portrait that created Ding Dong was still in the museum, and Grandma Wu and the others had all left the hospital, so they probably died outside."

“So the museum on the fourth floor of the hospital was looted, but perhaps this also triggered some kind of protection mechanism, so that the climbers in the bunker had to go through an additional step of using the items in order to identify them again.”

"In short, Ding Dong's portrait may have some kind of obsession, requiring the climbers in the strange tower scene to complete twelve levels of challenges before they can take away the items there."

"This is the eighth floor of the strange tower where I am currently, and it provides a reasonable explanation for the existence of various mechanisms."

"Now, Ding Dong's obsession with the portrait has been eliminated, because Ding Dong with the 'Five※' has been created, and the obsession naturally no longer exists. Ding Dong will take Grandma Wu and others away, so naturally, the items in the museum will disappear."

"So it's very likely that if I just let them leave, the next simulated new Weird Tower scenario will be uncontrollable. Maybe when I return to the Weird Tower, I'll be in a completely new scene."

Wen Xishu decided to do something:
"If you don't leave here and stay in the hospital forever, how long can this hospital last?"

This question is a bit strange, but Ding Dong said:
"If I were here, I would have been able to hold out for a long time, but I can't really say for sure."

Or would it take the emergence of a dominant being like Qicheng Anrong to threaten Ding Dong?
Wen Xishu thought so, apart from the twelve constellations, there should be few people who could defeat Ding Dong.

"My friend will pass by here in the future. Can he leave some things here? I mean, can all the items in the museum be left here?"

Wen Xishu began his plan.

Ding Dong frowned slightly:

"For me, it's not impossible. I can actually make these items again, and the place I'm going to..."

Wen Xishu interrupted Ding Dong's speech:

"Don't tell me where you are going. I hope you can find a safe shelter. But I hope you can keep it in this hospital museum. And I have a suggestion."

Ding Dong became more and more convinced that the identity of the plane was not simple, so he asked:
"You said."

"Jiangcheng is indeed unsafe, but the fourth floor of this hospital can actually be converted into a temporary survival base. Some of my friends may pass by here in the future. Your items can help them get rid of some troubles."

Wen Xishu pointed at the gloves on Mo Yuan's hands:
"Like these things. Can you make a replica, or a second-rate one?"

Ding Dong was a little curious:

"That's right. Wait, your friends will come?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Yes, there will be some people like me who will go to Jiangcheng to deal with some things in the future. I think at that time, they can come here and solve some crises with the items you left behind."

"Of course, considering that your items are likely to be coveted by others, I suggest that museum items be identified and used."

Ding Dong thought it was interesting:
"You go on."

"I am just suggesting. If you find it troublesome, you can completely ignore my suggestion. But don't worry, I will definitely fulfill our agreement. I will find Lyra, Monoceros, Sirius, and Hercules."

Wen Xishu played the emotional card first. Ding Dong, who was reborn with five extreme hearts, naturally tried his best to meet his friends' requests:
"I'll try to do it. Please continue. I'm very interested."

"Okay, I'll continue. In order to protect the museum's items from being easily taken away, we have added an identification step. If it is not identified, it cannot be activated."

"After identification, the properties of the item will be activated, but at the same time, it will be transported to a special area. For example, you can create a TV with many scenes to demonstrate the use of the item. Although it is called a demonstration, it is actually a mechanism to prevent theft."

"I don't know if you can do this. Through some kind of power, the person who has identified the item will be teleported to an area full of monsters. They must kill a certain number of monsters before they can leave."

"I remember you said that the clay figures you made when you were very young could all move on their own... Then can you create larger scenes and more ferocious clay figures? Make them look like some post-apocalyptic monsters?"

"In order to prevent items from being stolen, anyone entering the fourth floor of the inpatient department needs to undergo at least twelve rounds of identification, each with increasing difficulty, before they can truly take an item away."

"Of course, if you can use these items perfectly, you can get additional qualifications."

"In addition, it is best if the function of an item is less correlated with its type, or even counter-intuitive. For example, a knife cannot kill people, but can save them. And an item must play a certain role in the use process to count as a kill."

“If you die in a level, you can’t take the items with you, and they will be returned to the display stand soon.”

"In order to encourage exploration and motivate people who use their brains, you might as well prepare a finale item. With this item, you can easily pass the level, but the process of finding this item is difficult and requires solving some puzzles, such as creating a new you."

Wen Xishu spoke a lot in a row, incessantly and very quickly, as if he had a speech script.

Ding Dong listened to everything. He felt like it was a game. His style was quite similar to that of one of his brothers and sisters. Plus the knife on Feiji's waist, he wondered if these two had come into contact before.
But he did not doubt the plane, nor did he refuse:
"That's possible, but it will take a lot of effort. But since you said it's your friend, I'm willing to give it a try."

"But I'm not sure how long it will take for your friend to arrive. Maybe the things I made will be taken away by other people in Jiangcheng, or even by other people in this hospital."

Wen Xishu said:
"It all depends on your ability. Just do it as you are told. The final result is up to fate. If some items can still be taken away under this mechanism... then it means they are indeed suitable for these items."

"It's a good thing for you that your belongings are picked up by the right person, isn't it?"

What Wen Xishu cares about is whether he can influence the simulation of the Strange Tower. If he can, then he is equivalent to participating in the design of the Strange Tower level.

In fact, he didn't care much about the final result, but he cared a lot about whether he could promote the results of the strange tower simulation.

All this is just an experiment. The reason why the level was not completely redesigned, but the previous level design was restored as much as possible, is that Wen Xishu feels that the simulation of the spooky tower has a certain tendency.

After rescuing Tang Rui, the Tower of Tricksters only went from four levels to three. Wen Xishu felt that the simulation of the Tower of Tricksters would be as close to the original level design as possible. This was because the other people in Parrot Sorrow had not experienced much memory change.

Based on this logic, Wen Xishu did not take big steps. All his suggestions were aimed at restoring the original level as much as possible.

He spoke very quickly because he was afraid that he would be forced to leave before he could finish his words.

Ding Dong said:

"You seem very familiar with all of this, almost like you've experienced it before."

Wen Xishu said:
“I’m just a quick thinker.”

Ding Dong said:

"I can't guarantee the final effect, but I will try my best to do this. I always feel that...some of your ideas are somewhat similar to my previous ideas."

Ding Dong had a very strange feeling that the plane was a bit like his father, Professor Jin, as if he was certain that something would happen in the future.

Ding Dong's biggest feeling about Feiji's suggestion was that it was too detailed. And he spoke very fast, and there was a feeling that he was running out of time. He always felt that if there was enough time, Feiji would give design ideas for various items.

Wen Xishu did have this idea, but there was indeed not enough time.

At this time, he saw the prompts.

[The mission has been completed, and we will return to the strange tower soon. ]

Logically speaking, Wen Xishu should have returned only after activating the invitation letter, but this time, just like the last time, Wen Xishu was forced to return.

Last time it was because of forming a team, and this time it was something Wen Xishu was trying to do.

On the eve of leaving, Ding Dong said:

"Airplane, I hope we will meet again in the future. I will do my best to fulfill your instructions."

"If you come here again in the future... or if you come here with your friends, you might as well try the compass I gave you. It will guide you to the most generous reward."

Wen Xishu thought to himself, don't worry, there is no need to wait until the future, in my timeline, I will revisit the place immediately.
