Chapter 165: The Kind Collapser
Chapter 165: The Kind Collapser
"You have been with us, so you can be considered as our family member."
"They won't kill you. In this doomsday, you just need to go to a small town where no one cares and spend your old age in peace. When the Three Towers War reaches its final moment... I won't need you anymore."
"Run away."
Run away quickly.
This was the pastor's only thought at the moment.
He had to get away quickly because he remembered.
There was a hiding place of "God", he remembered it. The God hidden in his memory.
He was originally a pastor of that church. After the seventeen "gods" were chosen, he gained an extremely terrifying power because he was too close to them.
And, because he had taken care of them, he did not die.
He was one of the very few people who escaped from that strange place.
Most people have stayed there and become extremely twisted and terrifying beings.
After "God" awakened, it was like some kind of radiation source that infected him as well.
He discovered that he possessed a power that allowed him to construct a temporary reality.
such as……
The accident room in the castle.
Here, he can distort reality for a short time and make some stories become true.
And one of the gods is hiding in this hard-to-find "truth".
"They are grateful for your care and will not kill you. But you must also forget me and use greater memories to dilute my existence."
"That way, I can hide until that war is over."
After a long time, the pastor had forgotten how many stories he had heard and how many accidents he had witnessed...
Plus, those "gods" really didn't seem to make things difficult for him, and he did survive.
He also gradually forgot the most important thing.
But now, that memory has been awakened.
The person who awakened the memory was Wen Xishu.
The owner of the castle, who is also the priest, is quite crazy at this moment.
But he didn't dare to act rashly.
Because he couldn't figure out Wen Xishu's strength.
The devil An Rongzai, the ghost bride, the slender ghost, and the woman with an ancient aura...
None of these people are good people.
But they were all the targets of Wen Xishu's evil deeds. It can be seen that... Wen Xishu's own strength should be unfathomable.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, he could only choose another way to deal with it.
"If one day in the future you meet someone you cannot fight against in the world of obsession, send him to the land of old memories. Pastor, I am leaving. I really don't want to leave you."
"Thank you for your care in the past. I will give you a method. When you encounter an invincible existence, you will have a chance to restart everything."
"Although you will forget that you have restarted, your opponent will become very weak."
The child holding the water bottle, no, it should be said that it was God, who once said this to the pastor.
This is also the god's subsequent style of doing things. Once he encounters a being that he cannot defeat in the Land of Obsession, he will drag the other party to the Land of Old Memories, because the rules there prohibit violence. This forms an unsolvable cycle.
Of course, that is an old saying, and the truth of this saying has not changed.
But now, it has a new name.
If you cannot defeat the opponent in the Trick Tower, you can drag the opponent to the Desire Tower. This will cause the memory to reset, and you may even forget who the opponent is.
But it doesn't matter, the opponent will definitely be near your territory and become extremely weak.
The pastor had never used this method before, but now he had to use it.
The pastor disappeared in an instant.

[Obtained item: Invitation Letter·Desire of Confession]
At this moment, Wen Xishu, who had beaten a bunch of kids to the ground, suddenly received a prompt.
What the hell?
How did I suddenly get an invitation?
"I did expect that, but I was more expecting that group of people to beat the owner of the castle to death..."
"Did they fail?"
The story will continue, but Wen Xishu’s expectations are now very low.
The male lecturer is already dead, having been directly shocked to death by An Rongzai's terrifying aura. For a mortal, facing a group of red houses fighting, even if he is just watching, he will have a chance of death.
But the naughty kid actually survived.
"The story won't end..."
"At least I didn't receive any news of winning, which means that the dead child is most likely alive."
"Then his expectations in the last round were higher than mine. If I go next and don't need an invitation letter..."
"I will inevitably be killed by the rules."
"This is troublesome."
Wen Xishu looked at the invitation letter in his hand and felt for the first time that this invitation letter was a bit difficult to deal with.
"Ancient castle... means that I might be facing a resurrected ancient being. Of course, it is also possible that I am completely wrong."
"But what is certain is that even An Rongzai, the Shoe Girl, Jiang Qing, and the Ghost Bride cannot kill it."
"In the last round, I at least had the corresponding high-level Weird Tower and Killing Tower attributes. But this round..."
Wen Xishu had a feeling that this invitation came too suddenly. It was as if the boss had entered the second stage.
"Why does it feel so much like the situation on the train?"
Wen Xishu felt that this scene was more and more familiar.
But this time, he didn't have the tower-killing attribute at all.
"Calm down and think about the effect of the invitation. The invitation is equivalent to bringing me back to the source of everything."
"The last invitation was sent to me by Jiang Qing. But the interesting thing is that even Jiang Qing doesn't know who I am. She doesn't remember me."
"so……"
"My disadvantage is that I can't beat him. The owner of this castle is definitely at the level of the Red House."
"But my advantage is that I have retained all my memories, while the other party has no memories..."
"At the same time, the situation is such that I have to accept the invitation."
If you don't accept the invitation, the storytelling session will have to move on to the fifth round...
There was no doubt that Wen Xishu would die at the end of the fourth round. After much deliberation, Wen Xishu decided to accept the invitation.
He opened the invitation and pressed his handprint on it.
The next moment, the world seemed to stand still, and the surrounding scenery began to change.
……
……
Desire tower, rest area.
Wen Xishu discovered that there seemed to be fewer people in the Desire Tower.
"Have you heard that Wen Xishu tore off two orange whirlpools by himself?"
"Now more than half of the Great Devouring White Whirlpool has been eliminated!"
"I heard about it... It's outrageous. I thought it would last a long time, but it's almost over."
“It is said that the casualties this time were minimal.”
"Because they have magic resistance, right? Well, it's not that these people are strong, it's mainly because they have magic resistance. I can do it too."
"Then why don't you go?"
"I don't like such vulgar acts as climbing the Weird Tower and killing the Tower."
Well, the Desire Tower is still as chaotic as ever.
Although there are a lot fewer people.
Wen Xishu still walked towards the Tianyuan area, intending to take a look.
However, this time, Wen Xishu did not meet the two student teachers Liu Ruyan and Ji Boda.
He didn't run into anyone he knew.
Wen Xishu did not stay any longer. Through the conversations of the people in the rest area of the Desire Tower, he roughly knew...
The disintegration of the Great Devouring was unusually fast, and the casualties were the lowest in history.
This is not surprising at all.
After all, with the seventh-level facility safe house, the magic resistance value plus the advance intelligence of the safe house... everyone can upgrade from Jiraiya to Intelligence Jiraiya.
Wen Xishu didn't delay any longer. He found an empty spot and started the login program.
……
...Desire Tower, thirty floors.
A small town in an unknown country.
The morning mist spread over the bluestone bridge, and the cracks in the asphalt road were covered with wet locust flowers.
Blue and white school uniforms are hung on the railings on the river bank, and the caramel aroma from the community coffee shop makes people feel happy.
The church in the distance has a very ancient feel, and from time to time you can hear people singing.
Those sounds carry the sound of Sanskrit, making people feel as if their souls are purified.
Wen Xishu stood on the river bank of the town, feeling the town.
Everything was unusually beautiful and peaceful.
At this time, a child riding a bicycle suddenly passed by Wen Xishu.
"Big brother, be careful."
Wen Xishu was shocked by the child's face.
He was very familiar with the child, but this child was not the naughty kid in the ghost tower, but the person he met in the accident room who was bullied by the naughty kid.
Wen Xishu stopped the bicycle:
"Hello, I want to ask you about someone."
"No problem, just ask. I will tell you if I know." The child did not refuse, but seemed very enthusiastic.
Wen Xishu thought to himself that the customs of this place might have been very good.
He began to describe the appearance of the naughty child. Although it was difficult to identify the appearance by words, after Wen Xishu described his clothes, the child immediately said:
"Andrew? Big brother, how do you know my classmate? Are you his relative? You don't look like one."
"Is Andrew a good boy?" Wen Xishu asked with a smile.
"Of course, he's a good student. But Andrew's parents don't believe in religion... This could be bad luck."
Wen Xishu said:
"Religious? You mean, that classical church in the distance?"
The child nodded:
"Some people in this town seem to be going crazy recently..."
"Hey, Teacher Mitchell, our former kindergarten teacher, suddenly went crazy. My mother said..."
The child seemed to realize that it was wrong to say that and immediately stopped talking.
Wen Xishu said:
"Actually, I'm here to investigate this. Can you tell me what insanity is?"
The child's eyes widened:
"Really? Big Brother, are you here to investigate the curse?"
"Oh, yes, it's not wrong to say it's a curse." Wen Xishu thought to himself...it seems that he was not wrong.
"Recently... there are always people in this town, sometimes several people, who suddenly change their temperament and do some very excessive things."
"But if they disguise themselves well enough, they won't be noticeable at all."
"Ms. Mitchell is a very nice person...but my mom said that she is a slut now and she must be cursed."
Wen Xishu asked:
"How long has the curse been present?"
"I don't know...but the first person to go insane was Mr. Lewis. He suddenly got himself a tattoo, on his head, to make himself look fierce. It was said that he went to big cities to rob banks and kill people. It was even on the news."
The child is still frightened:
"But Mr. Lewis used to be very gentle and kind. This happened three years ago."
Bald Spider-Man? What a huge contrast. Three years ago, Bald Spider-Man was a good guy.
Wen Xishu asked again:
“Did the church exist three years ago?”
"No...it was repaired the year before last. The pastor said that this town was cursed and needed a huge church to purify the curse with divine power. Although no one believed it at first...but! But Mr. Clark, who was very brave in the past, was cured by the pastor!"
“Many people from other places have come here over the years and have been healed by the pastor.”
Wen Xishu said:
"Mr. Clark? Could you tell me about it, please?"
"No problem!" The child was very interested, as if he felt that he was participating in something very just.
"Mr. Clark is a brave man, but for a while, he suddenly became very cowardly and shifty."
"There were a number of thefts in the town... and it turned out through surveillance that it was Mr. Clark who did it."
"We actually couldn't believe it. Mr. Clark seemed like a completely different person!"
"Fortunately, we sent him to the pastor, and within just one day, Mr. Clark was back to normal. His demeanor was the same as before."
"It was after that incident that many people felt that they should believe in religion. Our family was no exception!"
"Hey... Mr. Mitchell, if you don't believe these things, then you will become like that..."
Wen Xishu said:
"So, your friend Andrew and his family are not religious. Has Andrew been behaving abnormally recently?"
"No. Andrew is still our good friend!" the child was very sure.
"So, have any dogs died in your community recently?" Wen Xishu said.
The child suddenly became frightened:
"Big brother...how do you know?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Okay, I've finished asking questions. Thank you. Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. Be careful of Andrew. He may have been 'cursed'."
The child couldn't believe it, but Wen Xishu no longer cared.
He walked towards the church and began to deduce various clues in his mind.
"In the beginning, the town had simple folk customs, and the feeling it gave people was warm and peaceful."
"But over the past three years, there have been people who have gone insane, whose personalities have changed drastically, becoming evil and insane."
"These people must be sent to a priest for 'purification'."
"In the beginning, the priests had no church. But as the priests continued to 'purify' these people... the priests' prestige grew."
"The church appeared..."
"So, is it possible that the church is the castle, but in the process of the priest's 'purification' of others, his prestige continues to increase, and the scale of the church also becomes larger and larger?"
"It is worth noting that priests can purify people's hearts..."
“But perhaps, the priest is the source of evil?”
Wen Xishu looked at the church in the distance. Although he did not have the attributes of the Slaughter Tower at this moment, he had spiritual perception.
Swallowing Arnold's finger made Wen Xishu's spiritual perception extremely powerful.
He could sense that the target of this mission was indeed located in that huge church.
This trip to the Desire Tower is not complicated, and the target can be locked almost immediately from the beginning.
You don't even need a compass.
However, even though the enemy was there, Wen Xishu had no means to deal with him.
"The tower force is gone. And now, I can't use the Weird Tower Sequence at all."
"I can't even perform a maximum kick...How can I defeat the priest in this situation?"
"According to the children's description, many outsiders came to ask for 'purification'."
"And currently, the priest is respected by many people. At this time, the priest has not yet become the lord of the castle..."
"Because the end of the world has not yet come. He plays the role of a good person. And the pastor doesn't remember me..."
A good person would not kill people openly. Wen Xishu could enter the church openly.
"Perhaps I can choose to see how he purifies a person."
Wen Xishu made a decision quickly and headed towards the church.
But just as he was about to go to the church, someone suddenly called Wen Xishu:
"Hello, man from another world."
Wen Xishu was startled and turned around immediately.
I saw a kind-faced woman looking at Wen Xishu with a friendly smile.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jessica."
Jessica's facial features are not stunning, but when put together, they have a unique charm. Her eyebrows are slightly raised, with a hint of stubbornness and provocation.
If she is a bad girl, she must be a very flamboyant bad girl.
Especially when she smiles, she gives people a natural sense of "evil".
But now, Jessica gives people the impression of being friendly and dignified.
"What did you call me just now?" Wen Xishu was very confused.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are going to the church, right?" Jessica said.
Wen Xishu nodded:
"I need to go find the priest. He has a great reputation."
"No, you are not looking for a pastor. I know very well who are the people looking for pastors in the past few years. You are an outsider. To be precise, you are from the outside world." Jessica said confidently.
Wen Xishu was secretly shocked, he seemed to have guessed Jessica's identity.
But why is this feeling so weird?
It was also at this time that Jessica revealed the mystery of her identity:
"Let me introduce myself carefully, outsider. My name is Jessica, and I am the villain of this small town. I used to be very evil..."
"I like to play with other people's lives. At least, I remember doing that."
"But I have a name that you are more familiar with. The last handsome man called me that. He called me——"
"The Destroyer."
