Chapter 236: Connected
The conversation turned to Chris. Using Zhou Fei's body, Wen Xishu felt the logic was extremely clear.

Especially Zhou Fei now has five skills.

After Chris heard Wen Xishu mention the war of aggression, mentioned Margaret, and mentioned the interpretation of the rules of stroking numbers in the confinement room...

He believed that Wen Xishu was here to help him leave here.

Chris also began to follow Wen Xishu's instructions and started to recall his painful past.

Next, as Chris recalled his past, Wen Xishu also began to unlock various abilities of Chris, just like Zhou Fei did at that time.

During the same period of time, Wen Xishu suddenly thought of exploring the essence of the Strange Tower and the Desire Tower.

What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent.

This sentence appeared frequently when Wen Xishu was a child. In fact, this sentence is more appropriate in today's world view.

Wen Xishu's understanding of the Weird Tower and the Desire Tower is actually about finding talents and improving oneself.

Most people climb towers out of necessity to survive, but when you reach a certain level and have certain pursuits, the essence of climbing towers becomes cultivating talents and foundation for the future three-tower war.

Jack and Jennifer, Tang Rui and the An brothers, and so on and so forth...it's all the same.

In the Ghost Tower, the most important thing is to find the right key person.

Chris's abilities are still being discovered along with Chris's memories, but now, when Wen Xishu returned to Zhou Fei's body, he felt the rarity of Zhou Fei's abilities.

Zhou Fei's five stages of power, the first stage is illogical behavior preference.

After this ability is activated, even if Zhou Fei's behavior is logical, the other party will naturally encounter obstacles, and feel like the Trisolarans looking at Luo Ji: unpredictable and incomprehensible.

The second ability is to correct small errors in the interpretation of the rules. This is even more outrageous. In simple terms, it is to change the rules.

But only small changes are allowed, and the changes are very small. But it is true that you are allowed to make erroneous interpretations, and the rules will be corrected based on the errors you make.

For example, in the corridor, you cannot perform actions that conform to logical behavior. In Zhou Fei's eyes, certain specific actions cannot be performed in the corridor. There is a discrepancy between the two, but Zhou Fei can use the discrepancy version of the rules.

The third ability is overload drug resistance. This is simple. Once the memory exploration reaches the third stage, the drug will have no negative effects on Zhou Fei, and can even consume some of his physical strength, allowing the drug to produce positive effects.

Simply put, it is immune to all poisons and can turn poison into treasure.

The fourth ability is a sleepwalking ending.

This ability is also very tricky. When Zhou Fei encounters fatal danger, there is a 25% chance of triggering a sleepwalking ending.

In conclusion, everything was just a dream, all fake. Zhou Fei would be forced to return to a safe base, and suddenly wake up, and all the dangers he had experienced seemed like a dream.

Of course, this is not the ability to modify reality, it is a kind of forced teleportation after encountering danger. To activate this ability, you must have an absolutely safe bed.

The fifth ability, which Wen Xishu couldn't understand, was called Will Affinity.

But as Chris' fifth ability appeared, and Wen Xishu discovered that Chris' fifth ability was also called Will Affinity...

Wen Xishu seemed to have some clues.

Chris's first ability is called accurate shooting. Chris can always hit what he wants to hit.

The second ability is called vehicle domination. There is no doubt that Chris can drive any vehicle and his skills are invincible.

Wen Xishu also has this characteristic.

Wen Xishu did feel that these abilities did not seem like sequences, but rather something he had gained after exploring the bunker...

For example, the super driving skills that Ami has obtained are very similar to vehicle domination.

For example, Wen Xishu and everyone in the bunker obtained an "iron lung".

These characteristics are not sequential abilities, but they can indeed be considered super powers.

When Wen Xishu heard about vehicle dominance, he realized that the power that Chris and others seemed to have obtained was not the same power as Jennifer, Jack, and Tang Rui.

It is a power that humans can use.

The third ability is War Frenzy. During the battle, one can forget the pain, or even ignore some of the pain, and all abilities are greatly improved.

The fourth ability is killing efficiency. Once a kill is made, Chris's ability will be improved. The more kills are made, the higher the success rate of killing will be, and it will continue to accumulate.

The fifth ability is affinity of will.

Yes, it was will affinity again, an ability that Wen Xishu could not understand.

But Wen Xishu was thinking, could it be that this ability was related to his ability to switch and control the three of them at the same time?
In Wen Xishu's opinion, he is fighting against the "good man". The good man can use mysterious insects, maybe these are not insects, but special parasites created by some sequence...

In short, a great good person can parasitize others, and can forcibly descend upon and control the parasitized person just like himself.

But in principle, occupying Zhou Fei, Chris and Britney's bodies is not parasitism, but a kind of cooperation.

This was Wen Xishu's guess.

"The essence of the Weird Tower... is a place of obsession."

"The obsessions here include those of Chris and others, as well as those of these kind people..."

"In other words, rules can serve bunker climbers or hinder them."

"Chris and the others' obsession may be to leave here. They don't know each other, but it seems that because of something, perhaps affinity of will, they were imprisoned in the same place?"

"The rules are in my favor because they have an upgrade mechanism. Once the level is raised, I can easily escape."

"But it's not in my favor. I can't unlock all the abilities right away. And the fifth stage ability, Will Affinity, is the most difficult to unlock since it's in the fifth stage."

"It requires their most painful memories."

"If you play the game normally, even if you reach the end, you may not be able to trigger the fifth stage of memory."

"So... affinity of will is a very important clue, and it is related to the perfect ending."

Wen Xishu thought of this when he saw the affinity of will.

And when Chris finally finished telling all his memories...

Wen Xishu discovered that many things seemed to be connected. Chris's memory did not have many reversals.

Margaret is not a good person. Chris is different from Zhou Fei and Britney. Chris comes from outside the world, and the war he participated in is not some carefully planned Truman World.

Margaret's death, Chris's war of aggression...

It's all real.

But here’s the thing about Chris – war.

That war was not simple.

Chris's memory mentioned the following words:

"To kill all the children. My companions, and even I, have received orders to kill all the children..."

"We are a group of soldiers who have been trained and blessed. We are more powerful than ordinary special forces. We can even say that we are an existence that is difficult for them to understand."

"The order we received was to kill all the children in that country."

"Because one of those children is extremely dangerous."

"I didn't do that. I'm not a qualified soldier. I didn't obey my superiors' orders. I was thinking about Margaret's anger."

"So in that war, I was just responsible for killing everyone who tried to protect those children."

"And killing those children, nailing them to the wall, or digging out their hearts... I didn't do it."

"But I know that I am an accomplice. Margaret will never forgive me in her grave! Forever!"

Chris was already in pain.

Wen Xishu realized the key:
"Chris is indeed not an ordinary soldier..."

"They are looking for a special child. This child is very dangerous. Chris and his companions are a group of blessed soldiers."

"Bless..."

Which constellation will bless you?

There is no doubt that this constellation is incompatible with the constellation that rules the magic city.

The two sides are probably hostile, or not hostile on the surface but competing with each other in private.

Wen Xishu thought of the eldest sister among the zodiac signs - Aries.

Ancient, intellectual, mysterious...

Possessing ancient power.

In short, Chris and his companions are very powerful, and can be said to be secret weapons. With modern warfare equipment and their own powerful characteristics...

They can be said to be very scary. But why would such a scary group of people invade a country just to take away a child?
Inexplicably, Wen Xishu felt that something was connected, but he also seemed extremely confused.

"Are you eager to obtain the power of that child?"

Wen Xishu asked.

Chris shook his head:
"No, the order we received is to kill without mercy."

Not right.

Their orders were to kill and conquer, not to rob.

If the child was special and had great powers, normally they should take the child away and study him.

But the order Chris and others received was to kill.

It was a killing at all costs. During this process, Chris's fellow soldiers did many cruel things, and the subsequent death of Margaret led to Chris's war stress trauma.

Wen Xishu closed his eyes. Zhou Fei's body made him feel that thinking was very smooth.

"If you don't rob them, and don't research them... it's very likely that you won't be able to research them. Choosing to kill them... is it to prevent other forces from obtaining them?"

Wen Xishu was moved: "Chris, which country was your enemy at that time?"

Chris said:
"In peacetime, there is no hostility...but at that time, the relationship with Long Xia was indeed quite tense."

"What we invade is what they want to protect."

Wen Xishu asked again:
"Chris, did you find the kid?"

Chris shook his head:
"I've seen a lot of kids... I've seen a lot of kids in that broken country, and I don't know who the dangerous kid is."

"It's also hard for me to imagine how a child could be in danger, and I don't think I've found it."

Wen Xishu didn't think that Chris was not found.

"You came here... because you were reported? Or something?"

In the confinement room, Chris sighed:
"Of course I wasn't reported. Although I have severe post-war stress disorder and can't stand seeing children..."

"But I wasn't reported. On the day Margaret died, I was being awarded a medal. I was actually... a hero to that country."

Wen Xishu asked again:
"Chris, have you ever killed a child?"

Chris shook his head:
"I have killed many people. If the only targets along the way were children, I would choose to do something else, such as driving or patrolling."

"If I encounter someone who is not a child, I will kill him."

"I'm not a good person...but I really didn't kill those kids."

"I know my soul is destined to hell. Just like my comrades said, war is war. Once the war begins, life is just a number. The bigger the number, the faster the war will end."

"But I couldn't do anything to those kids."

Wen Xishu said again:

"At that time, weren't there already a lot of chaos happening around the world?"

Chris hummed:
"That's right. We also talk about some things from time to time, such as the rat infestation in Moren City, the special virus in Wind City, and all kinds of weird things that we used to disdain."

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and then said:

"So have you encountered anything you thought was weird involving children? On the battlefield you invaded?"

This really stumped Chris.

After thinking for a long time, Chris shook his head and said:
"No."

Wen Xishu did not give up and asked another question:
"Have you communicated with any children? Or has any child said anything to you?"

Chris thought for a long time again, and this time he nodded and said:
"Have."

"I once let a group of children go. One of them, wearing a veil, said to me, 'I don't belong here. I will find my own destiny.'"

Wen Xishu asked again:
"Did you have any physical contact?"

Chris accidentally heard Xishu's focus:
"Indeed, this...is there something strange about it?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Not sure yet, but next, I will need your strength to break open this door. We should get going, Chris."

Will affinity, using thoughts to cover other thoughts, but being able to ensure independence, these three people, Long Xia tried to protect...

Many points gradually connected into a line.

Wen Xishu had a vague idea of ​​the answer.

"I have no strength now. It's strange to say, but if it were me before... this place wouldn't be able to hold me. But now, I can't use my previous abilities."

Wen Xishu thought it was very reasonable.

Because that's the rules of the game.

The rules of the game are that if the bunker player does not intervene, the three of you are lambs to be slaughtered. One will be parasitized during the confinement process, and the other will lose the ability to think due to drugs.

Of course, Britney's fate was bound to be bad.

In the spooky tower, Zhou Fei, Chris, and Britney are unable to use their original abilities. Only the players can use their abilities. Players also have to slowly explore and regain their memories and unlock their abilities through various stimuli.

Otherwise it won’t work.

Of course, Wen Xishu directly used the settings to unlock the abilities of the two people.

Switch.

Zhou Fei suddenly felt dazed, and he realized... Wen Xishu had left his body.

Zhou Fei asked:

"Well, we should leave here... I don't know how you managed to attract so many white coats, but we really should leave."

"You can now break——"

Zhou Fei hadn't finished speaking yet.

Chris's violence destroyed the iron door directly. The curled iron door, like bread, seemed to have no hardness in Chris's hands.

The tall Chris appeared. In the dim environment, Zhou Fei could not see Chris's face clearly, but he could feel the huge sense of oppression.

Wen Xishu said:
"Okay, Zhou Fei, let's solve the next puzzle."

Zhou Fei said:

"Want to continue?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"We've come this far, let's just keep going. Don't underestimate the charm of the third person."

Zhou Fei is curious:

"You control another one?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Well, she's helping us draw fire, so it should be possible for a while. Originally, I should have taken you away at this time."

"But I always feel that... there are still some clues to be solved. We have to go to another place. Maybe you know this place."

Zhou Fei took a deep breath and said:
"where are you going?"

Wen Xishu said:
"You came here. As far as you can remember, it was your uncle who reported you."

Zhou Fei nodded.

Wen Xishu and Zhou Fei walked and whispered to each other:
"If your uncle hated you so much, why didn't he send you in before the college entrance exam? From what I know, the number of good people is far beyond people's imagination."

Zhou Fei said:

"I don't know. I often can't tell the difference."

Wen Xishu said:
"I think the medium-sickness area may be able to give us the answer. Next, we have to head to the medium-sickness area."

"The secondary symptom area is set up like a ward. Zhou Fei, do you know where the archives room is?"

Zhou Fei understood that Wen Xishu planned to explore the archives room.

"Are...are you sure?"

With Chris around, Wen Xishu felt much more secure.

"Sure, I can understand why Chris is special, but I still need to understand why you and Britney are special, Zhou Fei. Your memory has already overturned my cognition once..."

"But I think it may not be enough. Maybe even you haven't discovered some truths."

Zhou Fei sighed:

"This must be a dead dream. I hope I won't wake up suddenly. You are crazy, but since you have made up your mind, then go ahead. There are many strange rules in the middle syndrome area..."

Wen Xishu said:
"Don't worry, I will switch in time."

It was not difficult for Wen Xishu to control two people at the same time. The difficulty was that once he controlled Zhou Fei, Chris would become a weaker version of Chris.

Once controlling Chris, Zhou Fei becomes an indistinguishable version of Zhou Fei.

Soon, under the leadership of Wen Xishu, the two arrived at the entrance of the secondary symptomatic area.

As for the guards along the way, they were all violently dealt with by Wen Xishu. Once Chris's body was controlled by Wen Xishu, he could be called a professional killer.

After entering the moderate symptomatic area, Wen Xishu switched to Zhou Fei.

With the help of Zhou Fei's ability, a few rules were modified on a small scale. Then Chris and Zhou Fei carefully bypassed a lot of surveillance without breaking the rules.

The archive room is on the third floor, a place with no patients and no guards.

Most of the patients in the moderate severity area have lost their ability to think due to medication.

There are many white coats here and almost no guards, but the white coats have now been attracted away.

Wen Xishu used Chris's body to easily open the door.

After taking a look at the number on Zhou Fei's body, Wen Xishu began to look for the archive room that was like a small library.

Soon, he found the file about Zhou Fei.
