Chapter 216 I Fight Pisces
Chapter 216 I Fight Pisces
The tower rest area.
At the initial location of the rest area on the sixty-plus floors, there would be no one else there except Wenren Jing and Evelin.
But when Wen Xishu appeared at the Tianyuan position in the rest area of the Desire Tower, everyone still felt that it was... reasonable.
After all, that was Wen Xishu, the new legend of the bunker and the dean of Weird Tower Academy.
Wen Xishu felt quite familiar with the people in the bunker when he saw them again.
You can say the bunker is rotten. You can say there is no human rights at the bottom of the bunker...
But the bunker is really much better than the Ark. The rot in the bunker only started in the past decade or so.
After experiencing Fangzhou, Wen Xishu finally realized...
The bunker is so nice.
Of course, no matter how charming Wen Xishu looks to the bunker, the people in the bunker shouldn’t feel the same way when they look at Wen Xishu.
Because this is the rest area of the Desire Tower, naturally, all the people in the rest area of the Desire Tower are people who can climb the Desire Tower.
Except for a few clear-headed people——
Most people, because they are used to enjoying themselves in the beginning, once a part of their original profits are taken away, they will feel that the world has wronged them and that the people in this world are plotting to murder them.
The creatures in the Desire Tower were used to being superior, but now, because of the great devouring that happened not long ago, the creatures in the Weird Tower and the Slaughter Tower have stepped on them.
Many people blame everything on Wen Xishu, because it was the appearance of Wen Xishu that broke the balance.
But the balance in their eyes has always been high and mighty.
Wen Xishu also felt some hostility, but these people dared not speak out, so he didn't say much.
Wen Xishu was really tired at this time.
After experiencing life and death and finally defeating the powerful enemy, he found that all he had worked hard for was just to create a possibility.
A future variable.
If we don't go back to the past, this variable will be eliminated...
Fortunately, for Horn, and in order to not have any fear of a certain constellation in his heart, Wen Xishu decided to go and explore the dangerous place.
However, just as Wen Xishu was about to start the login device and enter the Desire Tower, a woman appeared in the Tianyuan District where Wen Xishu was.
Wen Xishu remembered this girl, her name was Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue said:
"Dean Wen, I didn't expect to see you here. I just came here for a while and heard that you were here, so I came to see you."
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"What's up, Jiang?"
Jiang Xue said:
"Your Weird Tower Academy... has been very popular these past two days. Many people who don't believe in evil have challenged Weird Tower Academy, and now they are not doing well."
"But the more this happens, the more people will want to take on the challenge. I think Dean Wen might be interested."
Wen Xishu remembered that before he left the Weird Tower Academy and entered the Weird Tower, he did tell the summoned "simulated Tang Rui" to give a little surprise to those who tried to challenge the Weird Tower Academy.
Wen Xishu just smiled faintly:
"It seems that during my absence, some students should have realized the difficulty of climbing the strange tower."
Jiang Xue nodded vigorously:
"There is another piece of news. It came out the day after you climbed the tower. It is good and exciting news."
Jiang Xue didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly:
"Old Principal, we have entered the 97th floor, the 97th floor of the Slaughter Tower."
Wen Xishu was shocked:
"Yesterday?"
Jiang Xue said:
"Yes, just yesterday. By the way, Dean Wen, which floor of the Desire Tower are you heading to now?"
Wen Xishu just said lightly:
"It's only more than 60 floors. It's not as good as the old principal."
The shock his words brought to Jiang Xue was no less than the shock the old principal's breakthrough to the ninety-seventh floor brought to Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu really didn't expect that the principal actually made a breakthrough.
But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
"The principal has been stuck on the 96th floor for a long time. People thought the principal couldn't go up."
"But maybe the principal just felt... that there was no need to go up. Maybe the principal could have made a breakthrough a long time ago, but he was just waiting for a better opportunity."
"Now it seems that...some of the principal's ideas have changed a lot."
Wen Xishu felt the trend of that new era.
The hundredth floor of the strange tower may really be broken through in the near future.
"Thank you for telling me this. It's very encouraging. By the way, which floor are you heading to now?" Wen Xishu looked at Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue shook her head:
"Don't ask... I can't compare with you, but I will definitely try my best to be like you."
Wen Xishu nodded gently:
"Okay, good luck then."
As he spoke, Wen Xishu started the login program and disappeared.
Jiang Xue didn't know why she had come to talk to Wen Xishu, the dean of the Guita Academy.
In fact, Wen Xishu would know the news immediately after returning to the bunker. It was possible that the old principal would personally tell him about the various things on the ninety-seven floors of the Slaughter Tower.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xue also started the login program:
"Although I don't like the way things are done at Yuta Academy... I seem to have become that kind of person."
Deep down in her heart, Jiang Xue knew who she should please and curry favor with, and she also knew who would become an important figure in the future.
Jiang Xue shook her head in self-mockery and similarly entered the world of Desire Tower.
……
……
The Scorpio knife vibrated.
Wen Xishu opened his eyes, but before he could feel the surrounding environment, he did not see the details of Fang Zhou's changes in the Desire Tower...
The strong vibration attracted my attention.
"what happened?"
In the last round, the Scorpio Knife seemed to be suppressed throughout the whole process. Wen Xishu even ignored the extra functions brought by the knife and treated it as a weapon.
But now that he arrived at the Desire Tower, the Scorpio Sword suddenly became active again.
[The campfire function has been forcibly activated. Five points of tower power have been consumed.]
? ? ? ?
When this prompt appeared, Wen Xishu was full of question marks.
At this time, Wen Xishu was hiding in a utility room in the Ark, which seemed to be displaying various cleaning tools.
Wen Xishu's current identity is also a cleaner in a certain area of the Ark.
Of course, he doesn't have the time to analyze the pros and cons of this identity, or what information it brings.
He just wanted to figure out why the Scorpio Blade... deducted five points of his tower power for no reason?
He had consumed a lot of tower force points in order to defeat powerful enemies in the Weird Tower. All in all, Wen Xishu now only had 15 points of tower force points left.
He fell into the fear of insufficient firepower again.
But soon, he understood what the bonfire meant.
The Scorpio Blade ignited.
Wen Xishu was so frightened that his hands trembled and he threw the Scorpio Knife out.
But soon, the warm firelight illuminated the dark room, and Wen Xishu immediately felt calm.
It's like... facing the bonfire at the Slaughter Tower.
And then, something strange happened.
Next to Wen Xishu, a child wearing a blue suit appeared.
"Brother, it's really cold here. Don't you think it's worthwhile to spend a few points of Taliyah to get such a warm bonfire?"
Damn it.
Scorpio!
Wen Xishu suddenly had an urge to stand up and be on alert.
But soon, he calmed down again.
"So I consumed five points of Talli...because I can summon you here?"
Scorpio nodded:
"It's worth it, isn't it? This is your strongest summon. But this knife will temporarily lose its ability for one round the next time you climb the tower. Everything has a price. I suggest you, brother, climb the tower more normally next time. Choose an easier level."
"You have to have some fun sometimes."
Wen Xishu didn't say anything. "The bonfire can't summon me for too long. After all, I'm very special. Brother, you're not lucky. With your current ability, how dare you climb to such a level?"
"You know, your attributes are seriously incompatible with your current level. If you do this too much..."
"The three towers will remember you and give you hidden points."
Others might not understand it, but Wen Xishu could understand it.
Hide points.
It is a special algorithm that exists in the mouths of players, just like if a person had a particularly high win rate when playing in the ladder last season...
Then next season, when everything starts over again, the system will choose this person's opponent as difficult as possible.
People with high hidden scores will always easily encounter the most difficult and abnormal levels in various games.
"I'll pay attention next time." Wen Xishu said.
It seems that the three highs...really can't be used often.
Scorpio nodded:
"When you reach a high level, you actually need many aspects of your attributes. Brother, some of your attributes, such as your thinking of breaking through the situation, have fully met the standards, but your basic attributes are seriously not up to standard."
"At this time, if you want to provoke my brothers and sisters... aren't you courting death?"
Having said that, Scorpio suddenly smiled like a naughty child:
"But you have me. With me here, you'll always have a way out."
Wen Xishu could tell that this guy was coming for Pisces.
"Can you help me solve this trouble?"
Scorpio shook his head:
"That won't work. Time is not a thing. You have to do this yourself, brother."
"However, there are two things that cannot be determined in Pisces' time prophecy."
"The first one is us, the unlucky constellations."
"The second one is from the evil land."
At this point, Scorpio looked at Wen Xishu:
"Brother, are you the second one?"
Wen Xishu just frowned:
"Psycho, what a sinful place."
Scorpio stared at Wen Xishu's eyes for a long time, then said helplessly:
"Okay, it doesn't matter. Anyway, from now on, brother, no matter what you do, you will definitely be a variable outside the timeline."
"Brother, you also know the ability to read files, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded.
Scorpio said:
"It's hard to say, actually. Is reloading a save file considered a form of time travel? Pisces has always been wary of this ability of mine because she feels that it is of the same origin as hers."
"Hehe, but that's all I have. She can play with time in a variety of ways. She can even use time to create a maze and imprison a person on the same day forever."
Wen Xishu asked:
"What exactly do you want to say when you tell me this?"
Scorpio said:
"I will give you the ability to save the game, but only for this round, brother. Although you are not facing Pisces head-on this time-"
"But you will destroy a key piece of Pisces. Without this piece, or in other words, if you let this piece go, Pisces will be greatly weakened."
"Pisces is my sister. She likes to use her time to show what she will be like in the future. Although she looks more mature than me, she is actually younger than me."
"The reason I'm helping you, brother, is to make sure you can thwart her plan."
Scorpio becomes serious all over.
Wen Xishu said:
"If I have items of other constellations... can I summon other constellations as well?"
Scorpio shook his head:
"Of course not, brother. You are the one I have been looking for for a long time. I showed up this time for two reasons."
"The first reason is the most important reason. I don't want you to die."
"The second reason is that Pisces and I are sworn enemies. I don't bother to care about other signs, and I don't have the courage to do it, but I am very happy to attack Pisces."
Wen Xishu was somewhat speechless.
"If I succeed this time, will that mean I've officially declared war on Pisces?"
Scorpio nodded:
"That's the kind that won't end until death."
Wen Xishu was silent again:
"So, these challenges in the Weird Tower are bound to offend you, right?"
Scorpio shook his head:
"It depends on how you choose. Just like when you chose the Scorpio Blade, you gained my favorability."
"Now, brother... you can also abandon me. The Desire Tower only requires you to survive and make a certain target happy. This condition of leaving is easy for you."
It really is.
When Wen Xishu met Jack and Jennifer, he had many ways to make them happy, not necessarily through redemption.
The same goes for Tang Rui, and even for the An brothers.
It all depends on how you choose.
That was the choice I made at the beginning. I chose the most difficult approach that was most in line with my own temperament, but that doesn’t mean it is the only correct one.
Along the way, I have gained recognition from some zodiac signs, but if I hadn't done that at the time... would I have gained recognition from other zodiac signs?
Scorpio seemed to see what Wen Xishu was thinking:
"Open this door, brother, and you will have to start helping Sirius escape from prison. You will enter the time turbulence, and you have to find a way to find the correct timeline among the many time entrances to bring Sirius out."
"Believe me, it will be very troublesome. Some entrances will take you to very scary time nodes. You will need my ability to load save files."
"But... you can also choose to give up. In this way, brother, Pisces will be very grateful to you. But it will hurt my heart. After all... I really hate people who disrupt time."
Scorpio looked at Wen Xishu:
"Make your choice."
Wen Xishu said:
"If I give up, you'll kill me now?"
Scorpio smiled and shook his head:
"How could that be? You are my brother, how could I do such a thing? But I might be angry for a long time."
"Besides, if you give up, it's understandable because this challenge is very dangerous. Fortunately, Sirius will also guide you."
Wen Xishu said again:
"You are helping me. Is your real intention related to Sirius?"
Scorpio said:
"Brother, have you seen Ding Dong?"
Wen Xishu didn't deny it, and he couldn't deny it.
Scorpio suddenly stopped talking and just looked at Wen Xishu with a smile.
This smile made Wen Xishu feel a little creepy.
"The one who killed Ding Dong..."
Scorpio nodded:
"Yes, it's me. I'm different from Pisces. There are twelve of us, and I have to kill the other five on the road to becoming a god."
"Brother, please save Sirius. As for whether Sirius will die... or not, that's not what you should care about, right?"
Wen Xishu stroked it.
Now he had to face the time turbulence, the captain of the Ark and many people with special abilities. Theoretically, it was impossible for him to pass it.
But now I can load the save file and I can also get guidance from Sirius.
And...Horn is naturally in the Desire Tower as well.
If you think about it this way, you actually have many keys to determine the outcome, and since Scorpio has appeared and is betting on you, then you should have a chance of success.
It’s okay to have a narrow escape from death, as long as it’s not 100% certain death, there is hope.
As for whether Sirius can be saved...
Wen Xishu really didn't want to think deeply about it now.
"Okay, I'll rescue Sirius."
Scorpio smiled and clapped his hands:
"Great, brother, you really are partial to me. I wish you success. Go and beat Pisces! Leave a deep impression on her!"
Wen Xishu pushed open the door of the utility room.
According to the game settings, this means the game has officially begun.
