Chapter 274 Assassinating the Savior
Chapter 274 Assassinating the Savior
Wen Xishu has two choices.
The first one is to climb the tower normally and start the login program. The second one is to start the Gemini invitation letter.
However, Wen Xishu recalled carefully that the guide had said three things in a row, and he did add a key piece of information -
"Perhaps you could consider opening the invitation letter when you are in a dilemma, when there is absolutely no way out of the predicament."
"You may die in the world that the invitation letter leads to, or you may get a great opportunity. When you return to the starting point, you will have a way to change the situation and break the predicament."
These are the original words of the guide.
Chinese children are all good at picking out words, which is a very valuable ability.
After Wen Xishu pondered it carefully, he found that the essence of the Constellation Invitation Letter had not changed. It also suddenly asked you to leave the Weird Tower.
Because the guide uses the "world it leads to". When you are in a dilemma, you need to open the invitation letter to break through the dilemma.
It can be seen that the timing of opening this and ordinary invitation letters is actually very similar.
The ordinary invitation letter is to the Desire Tower.
Taking this into consideration, Wen Xishu finally restrained himself.
"Forget it, just climb the tower normally."
He no longer hesitated and started the login program.
……
……
Familiar hints, familiar insane dice.
After hearing “Welcome to the Three Towers Game”, Wen Xishu felt a sense of redemption and relaxation, as if the king had returned to his familiar throne.
There is no intrigue or deception here, only a group of weird perverts who want him dead. How pure.
The result of the insane dice this time is a completely new number.
But it did not bring about completely new point results.
Black Five, Red Five, White Five.
Three dice, all five.
The original number of floors was 49, but now, the options before Wen Xishu include three highest ones.
Three highs, three phases, tendency towards large numbers, and quality improvement.
There is no doubt that Wen Xishu's heart was looking towards Sangao.
In the past, Wen Xishu would be very eager to get the quality upgrade. Or he would feel insecure without the three phases.
Three or five. This number of points gave Wen Xishu all the options he liked.
But he could only choose one.
Wen Xishu didn't have much time to think, as he was about to head to the rest area.
Wen Xishu was completely excited.
At the base of the 49th floor, if Wen Xishu chooses the three highs, he is indeed unsure of facing those high-level strange creatures and huge obsessions.
In that situation, the cards in your hand might not be enough.
And even if he came back alive... he would have to spend a lot of time explaining how he had suddenly reached... an unimaginable level.
How could someone who was on the 60th floor not long ago jump to dozens of floors in an instant? This question is difficult to explain.
After a long ideological struggle... Wen Xishu finally chose Sanxiang.
He gave up the three highs.
……
……
The rest area of the tower.
In the Tianyuan area, Wen Xishu felt a little melancholy.
Yes, he began to reflect on himself, why did I become such a coward.
If you don’t choose the three highs now… then it will be even more impossible to choose them in the future.
But then again, although many options exist, Wen Xishu has never visited them.
The words of the Three Towers to guide people were the main reason why he finally chose the Three Phases and gave up the Three Highs.
If you jump too fast, you will miss a lot.
Wen Xishu thought about it and decided that he couldn't miss it. Besides... he was far from meeting the magic resistance requirement of that level.
Maybe you won't even have the chance to use props.
"Well, it's a good thing that I'm cautious. Besides, the 49th floor is also dangerous, isn't it?"
Wen Xishu began to interpret this mission.
【Welcome to the 49th floor of the Weird Tower. Have you heard of the Villain Alliance? It is said that before the end of the world, there was a killer organization.
Before the end of the world, some changes have begun to take place around the world. Some killers have begun to evolve and gain unimaginable killing abilities.
The relevant departments of the Free State soon noticed the killer organization and expended huge manpower and resources to capture several evolved killers.
But they are not doing this for justice. This capture is to allow these killers who have evolved super powers to assassinate the "savior" of other countries.
Several killers have bombs implanted in their bodies and are wearing explosive collars. Now, you will join them to assassinate the saviors of various countries on the eve of doomsday.
However, we do not make any requirements on how to complete the mission. Your core mission is still to survive. 】
Suicide Squad... three tower version?
It sounds like an evil villain was captured by an even more evil organization and forced to do things against humanity.
But Wen Xishu was unexpectedly interested in this mission.
"Originally, I was thinking that I had more than a dozen items, and I would put seven of them on the Scale of Chaos, so that I could summon seven third forces..."
"But now it seems that it is not necessary. This mission is a direct assassination. And I am with a group of villains."
Wen Xishu also noticed the ending part of the mission introduction - "However, we do not make any requirements on how the mission should be completed."
Wen Xishu touched his chin:
"That is to say... I just need to survive. I don't even have to kill the saviors of various countries?"
"Or maybe I can even kill those killers?"
"But isn't the scene too big for this mission?"
In the past, the strange tower scenes were as large as a town at first, and as small as an ancient castle at second.
But this time, it seemed like it was going to cross half the world.
After all, even if they just wanted to snipe Long Xia’s savior, they would have to cross the ocean.
And there must be more than one savior, right?
Wen Xishu knew very well that all countries were actively preparing for doomsday.
Long Xia's underground fortress, the Ark of the Free State, and Xiong Su's Sky Plan...
In addition to having plans to deal with the end of the world, these countries must also have some superhumans who are different from ordinary people.
Wen Xishu might fight with these people this time.
He was somewhat surprised by the huge scope of the map.
"Can it really be this big in the Weird Tower scene?"
He still has many questions.
"The Weird Tower is a world of obsession. Now it seems that, taking the Free State as an example, if the Ark Project is a plan to deal with the end of the world..."
"Then Captain, you are the savior of the free land."
"Presumably, both the Sky Dome Project and the Dragon Hidden Project have corresponding saviors. These people... logically speaking, they would not be killed by a group of assassins."
Thinking about it this way, Wen Xishu seemed to have a certain understanding of the mission.
He looked around and found that there were no familiar faces and there were more people in the rest area than last time he visited, and he was satisfied with that.
Without further delay, Wen Xishu started the login program...
Entered the world of the strange tower with forty-nine floors.
……
……
woke up.
Wen Xishu opened his eyes and found himself in prison.
He has a collar around his neck.
Apparently, this is an exploding collar.
If he did anything that disobeyed the instructions, the collar would explode and his head would be blown off.
Just at this moment, the prison door was opened.
A typical white prison guard from the Free State said:
"Come on, someone wants to see you."
Wen Xishu began to walk with the prison guard.
When passing by a blind spot in surveillance, Wen Xishu instantly summoned a killing football.
The football appeared at his feet very smoothly.
But Wen Xishu did nothing but recalled the football.
He tested it and made sure that the props were still usable.
At the same time, the function brought by the Scorpio Knife this time is a function that is not related to combat.
It's called an illustrated guide.
Many games have an illustration function. After you defeat an opponent, you can check the opponent's illustration and learn some secrets of this opponent.
This is a good intelligence feature.
Wen Xishu followed the prison guard and soon arrived at an office.
There were five other prisoners in the office, as well as a white woman wearing a suit who looked very similar to the female director of the Third Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau.
The female director was killed by Xun Hui not long ago.
When Wen Xishu first saw this white woman, he thought it was the female director who had come back to life.
The possibility of a blood relationship between the two cannot be ruled out, but Wen Xishu is rather face-blind to European and American women.
Including Wen Xishu, there were six prisoners in total, and all six prisoners were wearing "collars".
White woman says:
"Let me introduce myself. I am the person in charge of this operation and your leader. My name is Zoe." "I don't need to explain your situation, right? You are all top assassins and have killed many people. No matter which country's laws you follow, you all deserve to die, don't you?"
"But now, I will give you a chance to survive. As long as you can assassinate the people on the list in the following process, you will be free. You can even... be qualified to enter the Ark."
"There is no doubt that if your actions succeed, it will make our free country great again!"
When Zoe finished, she looked at the prisoners sitting in a row with her hooked nose.
Apparently, she saw no reason for the prisoners to refuse.
But at this moment, the most handsome of the five prisoners, a man with an artistic temperament and long hair comparable to that of a woman, said:
"Sorry, I refuse. Although I am a killer, I will not kill people I don't want to kill. I also don't do assassinations that lack aesthetics."
Killer code name, Cosmos.
A person who regards killing as an art will disguise all killings as accidental deaths.
Sometimes he couldn't even get the final payment because the killing method looked too much like an accidental death, not homicide...
So sometimes, employers will not pay the balance.
But in the end, the employers who didn't pay the balance all died.
The Cosmos killer ranks eleventh.
The reason for the low ranking is that in many cases, the industry believes that the targets died in accidents rather than homicides.
Zoe says:
"Persona, real name Igor, your ability is to divert attention. You can make the target lose their sense of danger in certain situations."
"For example - on a busy road."
"But you know, even if your sister is always alert, she never runs a red light, and always gives way to others... she will still die."
"Guess, can we do this?"
Cosmos's eyes suddenly became sharp.
But Zoe just pointed at his neck:
"Be careful, it will explode. Don't look at me like that. Otherwise, even if you are gone, I don't mind. After all, their abilities are higher than yours."
Cosmos' eyes turned red, and after a while, he said:
"I hope you keep your word."
Zoe shrugged.
"Of course, I will keep my word. As long as you kill the few people on the list, you will be the heroes of the Land of Freedom standing at the pinnacle of human civilization."
“You, and even the family members you care about most, will be qualified to enter the Ark.”
Wen Xishu really wanted to laugh.
Is entering the Ark something to brag about?
Of course, he didn't laugh. He just watched silently.
It goes without saying that a killer shouldn't have too many emotions.
Cosmos shouldn't care too much about her sister.
The other killers seemed very professional, without emotions or weaknesses.
But such people often cherish their lives.
So soon, all the killers reached a consensus that they had no choice but to accept Zoe's arrangement.
With almost no rest, after reaching an agreement with everyone, Zoe immediately told Wen Xishu and other killers the target list.
Dmitri, the savior of the Sky Dome Project.
It is said that he is a man who mastered the storm.
Bloodline Project Savior Cain.
Lionheart, a man who turned into a vampire on the eve of the end of the world.
He is committed to developing his own blood servants, believing that he is the savior and that facing the end of the world, humans do not need to avoid it. As long as they become vampires, they will have powerful abilities to fight against the end of the world.
The savior of the Longyin Project, codenamed Dragon.
I don't know his name, I only know this person. He is in charge of Long Xia's Dragon Hidden Plan, and his awakened ability is unknown. He is the most mysterious of all the assassination targets.
There are many other plans, such as the island country's Amaterasu plan. This plan is the "radiation" that Wen Xishu has experienced.
A plan to use radiation to promote evolution. Somewhat similar to the Bloodline Project.
Of course, there are also plans from other countries.
The six of them wanted to assassinate a total of nine people.
After figuring out the mission objective, Zoe led everyone to the equipment room.
In the equipment room, there are all kinds of costumes, props, and firearms, and even in the vehicle room, you can see armed helicopters.
Wen Xishu has not used the ability given to him by the god of death so far.
Because he is not free enough, he also needs a more private space to test the ability of the colorful feather pen.
He could only take action after Zoe and the others left.
"I will not disturb you any further. You can go through that door and enter the scene you want to enter. Go to the area around the assassination target."
"You can work together to assassinate one target, or you can split up and assassinate different targets."
"But remember, you are a team. I need everyone on the list to die. Otherwise, your entire team will not be saved."
"Another point, the person you are going to assassinate is the most powerful human being in this world."
"Don't underestimate them. If you are captured alive, I will explode your heads to prevent you from leaking the secrets."
"Choose your equipment and make your plans, and good luck."
Zoe disappeared.
At this time, Wen Xishu noticed a key point.
door.
Zoe said that through this door, you can go to various scenes.
Wen Xishu seemed to understand.
This is the world of obsession... In reality, there is no such door.
But this is a world formed by the obsessions of several killers, and there are also the obsessions of Zoe and others.
These obsessions create a special scene.
It was different from the huge scene of crossing the ocean that I had imagined.
"This time, it's more like the locations of several saviors are mixed into one scene. As long as you open the door, you can enter the corresponding scene, similar to... a level."
"This is very Weird Tower style."
Wen Xishu guessed: In history, that is, in the Desire Tower, these killers may have failed for some reason.
But their obsession and desire to fight against these top humans, the saviors, led to the assassination on the forty-ninth floor.
Of course, it could also be due to other obsessions.
It is also possible that in this obsession...the real enemy is not those saviors.
After all, Wen Xishu remembered the final mission description - but we don't make any requirements on how the mission should be completed.
It can be seen that this mission may be hiding some kind of conspiracy.
After Zoe left, the killers began to talk.
Cosmos Igor says:
"The guy in the Sky Dome Project is from the same place as me. Although I am a killer, I cannot kill people from my own country."
"I can't do that plan, you guys do it."
Wen Xishu discovered that Igor was still very principled.
"Anyway, we have to choose one first... I don't actually want to kill these people. All countries are preparing for doomsday. There is no doubt that if these people die, the Ark Project will become the only doomsday plan. Even at this time, we are still thinking about infighting." The killer codenamed Shadow spoke.
The superpower is invisibility.
When he spoke, he was in a state of illusion.
At this time, another killer spoke:
"Everyone, the people we usually kill are all ordinary people, including capitalists and beggars, but in the end, they are all ordinary people. The ones we are going to kill this time... are all people with special abilities. Let alone whether we are willing to kill them, it is also a question whether we can kill them."
The killer, codenamed Cannon, is a very tall Italian.
He is a person who likes to suppress his enemies with heavy firepower, and his superpower is unlimited ammunition.
Cosmos also said:
"Even if we do it... can we really be redeemed?"
No one speaks.
Top killers are not stupid and they are all very clear about their current situation.
Wen Xishu listened to the conversation of everyone and suddenly realized... these people had no choice.
They are killers, but they also have their own principles and creeds.
But there was no way, these killers, including himself, had bombs around their necks.
Killers are selfish by nature. In order to survive, they must use their abilities to assassinate their targets.
Even if it’s just in the world of obsession.
It is obvious that -
The best way for other tower climbers and other players to face this task is to get familiar with each teammate, make good use of each team member's abilities, and assassinate the target as much as possible.
But Wen Xishu is not an ordinary person, he has a cheat. He can completely play the opposite.
Then Wen Xishu suddenly said softly:
"I can see that you guys don't want to help Zoe. Actually, I don't want to either."
"Do you think it's possible that Zoe will arrange for someone to disarm our bomb and then die to atone for her crime?"
Several killers looked at Wen Xishu and only then noticed this "colleague" with Long Xia's face.
"Are you showing off your brain?"
The killers looked at Wen Xishu as if he were a fool.
