Three Towers Game

Chapter 305 The Divided Heart
Unknown land.

Sixteen figures stood outside the enormous round table.

The scene around the round table resembled a chaotic starry sky or a void of darkness.

Another constellation conference has been held.

The initiators are still Taurus and Aries.

Unlike last time, the atmosphere this time was very subtle.

"I heard that someone has come out of the bunker. The person who was extremely important to Longxia's original plan."

Taurus first stated the theme of the meeting.

Sagittarius's feelings are quite complicated right now.

Because he sensed that it was aimed at him.

"Shooter, you made a mistake. You didn't kill the crossroads player."

The one with the open mouth is a lion.

Sagittarius harbors both hatred and fear within their hearts.

Capricorn remained silent; he and Sagittarius have always had a good relationship.

Sagittarius said:
"The power of fate can lock onto a person, making it impossible for them to escape."

"But he stole the fate of his men."

Aries sighs:

"So it seems the Heart of Fusion isn't with you either. After all, since you failed to kill him, his things won't end up with you."

Sagittarius said:
"Perhaps the Heart of Fusion isn't even in that person's hands. Big sister, you should be like Scorpio and spend more time exploring the Three Towers instead of always focusing on those ancient legends."

After saying that, Sagittarius suddenly realized that he had spoken out of turn.

He shouldn't have said that.

Fortunately, he always keeps to himself and doesn't give people much to think about. Plus, Scorpio's sudden interruption changed the subject.
"Oh my, am I being praised? You know, not long ago, you were about to shoot my gaming partner to death."

Sagittarius once told Wen Xishu that Scorpio is the kind of person who can travel across all three towers.

Compared to Aries, who are obsessed with mythology, Scorpio believes that every ordinary person can become a key figure influencing the Three Towers War.

Scorpios have indeed put this into practice. At the meeting not long ago, Sagittarius thought that the gaming buddy that Scorpio was talking about was some nobody.

But now it seems that Wen Xishu can even be ranked alongside Albert.

At least in the shooter's view, Albert won't be the only strongman in the bunker in the future.

Sagittarius now knows that Scorpio's gaming partner is Wen Xishu.

Naturally, they also learned that the person Aries entrusted with the mission was Wen Xishu.

He wanted to ask more questions about what his older sister planned to do to Wen Xishu.

But he knew he couldn't ask.

He had to pretend nothing had happened.

However, he had a feeling that his eldest sister was unaware that the Heart of Fusion had changed hands.

It's clear that what the eldest sister wanted Wen Xishu to do was most likely unrelated to Long Xia's plan, but rather a separate plan altogether.

As for Scorpio... he couldn't figure it out. Scorpio's persona seemed to be all about having fun, but what constituted "fun" was determined by Scorpio himself.

Such people are the hardest to guess.

Libra said:

“Some things may have already changed hands, and we should indeed cooperate more with the bunker people.”

Taurus nodded in agreement:
"Even I didn't expect that not long ago, someone from the bunker would take down the weird competition."

"But that's a good thing, isn't it, Libra?"

Libra nodded, clearly indicating that they both cared a lot about that place.

Sagittarius knows that it was Wen Xishu who brought down the bizarre competition.

Even so, he still had a feeling of, "Why are you everywhere?"

Pisces sighed:

"Many futures have become uncertain in my eyes, and the Three Towers have made the past unstable."

"The Three Towers War can be changed by the Three Towers game."

"This is inherently unreasonable. Currently, only the Bunker Man can participate in the Three Towers game. What we should do is kill the Bunker Man and stabilize the future."

Aquarius raises their hand:
"Agreed, agreed, completely agreed. The bunker people arbitrarily altered the results, and the bunker people of the Deception Tower and the Desire Tower should be completely wiped out."

Pisces continued:

"There are too many secrets hidden in the three towers. Exploring the three towers may allow some bunker dwellers to obtain things that even we do not know."

"Even what you're looking for. We should join forces to prevent this from happening again."

Leo thought for a moment and said:
"I agree, but it doesn't matter. Let the bunker people transform as they please, I don't care."

Aquarius said:

"I can make the Tower of Desire game in the Three Towers game even more difficult."

Pisces also said:
“By observing the future, I can know more about the ‘past,’ and in that way, we can pinpoint those bunker dwellers.”

"But that would require me to have greater authority."

At this point, both Scorpio and Gemini looked up.

Both of them realized that the topic of the meeting had gone astray, because Pisces' purpose was to persuade the other zodiac signs to launch an execution.

"I need to become stronger to help you stabilize those future uncertainties."

"And Sirius, it's in your hands, isn't it, Scorpio?"

"And the Geminis, you found one of them not long ago, didn't you? You should kill them. Their purpose in being is to make us stronger."

The twins remained silent, then disappeared back into the darkness.

But his presence is undeniable.

Scorpio said:

"How dare you speak to my brother like that? Yes, we do have some men on our side... but why kill them?"

"They are our brothers and sisters, aren't they?"

Pisces glares at Scorpio:

"You think you're toying with the bunker people, but perhaps you're being toyed with by them too."

Scorpio shrugs:

"Then I must be the most fun person he's ever played with."

Sagittarius is finally out of the spotlight.

The second half of the meeting consisted almost entirely of several zodiac signs expressing their thoughts on how to deal with bunker dwellers.

The radicals are Pisces, who believe that the bunker dwellers shouldn't be allowed to "hold onto the past."

Sagittarius feels this time... maybe Pisces is right.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the bunker dwellers will unknowingly steal something important.

This thing could be the Heart of Fusion that the eldest sister longs for, or it could be something else entirely.

But he didn't speak, because he had only briefly put himself in the Pisces persona.

He was even more aware that he was now an ally of the humans in the bunker.

Sorry, I can't speak for you, after all—I'm an undercover agent.

As for conservatives, they are Scorpios and Aries.

Taurus and Libra, on the other hand, are neutral. They believe that bunker dwellers who are worth using should be used, while those who are not should be killed.

Lions are also neutral, but in a different way. The lion's neutrality means that no matter what happens, no matter how you change history, once you reach the Three Towers battlefield, you will still kill without hesitation.

It's the same at every meeting; it's really hard for anyone to convince anyone else.

Libra is inclined to speak up for Aries and Scorpio this time, after all, he is now also counting on a certain bunker person to use his token to continuously create new power.

Libra was unaware that this bunker dweller was intervening in an area extremely important to him.

……

……

The city streets were silent, and even the footsteps of Wen Xishu and his group sounded jarring.

At first, one could sense a restless atmosphere. Although it was quiet, both Wen Xishu and Enzo had powerful senses.

There are many terrifying creatures around.

But as they ventured deeper, the city remained a landscape of ruins...

But the red and black houses are almost nowhere to be seen.

All the scents seemed very distant.

It was as if the area ahead was a forbidden zone where monsters dared not tread.

What lies ahead was once a residential complex. The swimming pool within the complex has long since dried up.

The vegetation in the green belt was also covered with weeds taller than a person.

The plants here seem to have a tenacious vitality.

All the buildings were covered in vines.

The entire neighborhood, despite being filled with towering buildings, feels like a forest with many towering trees.

The guidelines also appeared at this time.

"You are about to enter a dangerous area and engage in a boss battle. Once you enter, you will not be able to leave the area before the battle ends. Do you wish to proceed?"

The statement that they couldn't leave before the battle ended was actually a rather euphemistic way of putting it.

Never die.

Wen Xishu said:
"You guys wait here, Enzo and I will go in."

Wen Xishu was not the only one to receive guidance.

It has to be said that Scorpio is quite considerate, even giving you a hint about the boss battle.

German nodded:
"We won't hold anyone back."

Everyone was aware of the power gap. Wen Xishu was quite looking forward to triggering the evolution of a few people, but he figured it would require luck.

Even if the conditions are met, luck is still needed.

Previously, residents of the community needed to use facial recognition or access cards to enter.

However, because this place has been abandoned for so long, these processes are no longer possible.

However, just as Wen Xishu and Enzo were about to enter the community, the plant vines seemed to come alive... and forcibly pulled open the gate.

In that instant, Wen Xishu had a feeling that he was about to enter the mouth of some monster and be chewed up.

Wen Xishu remembered that the theme of this level was related to division.

He had a vague idea of ​​a possibility.

After entering the community gate, Wen Xishu took out the Scorpion Knife.

Enzo said:

"What are you going to do?"

Wen Xishu bent down and found a patch of weeds, looking at these weeds with their overly vigorous vitality...

He said:
"Let's conduct an experiment. I hope my guess is wrong."

He used a knife to cut some weeds, then tossed them into the air.

Enzo looked up at the sky, initially puzzled, but soon a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"this!"

The weeds began to wriggle, like earthworms, and their bodies started to lengthen.

After falling to the ground, it even sprouted roots and stems, piercing through the soil and regrowing.

And not far away...

Outside the battlefield, a dark house vanished without a trace.

No one noticed what was happening.

The black house was a car repair shop. The original monster was extremely powerful and could merge with metal vehicles. It even gave itself a name: Megatron.

He's quite a formidable figure in this city.

But now, in the world of obsession... because of a few more weeds, it disappeared without a trace. However, soon after, a new character appeared in the auto repair shop.

It came out of nowhere, but quickly adapted to the new environment.

The repair shop soon had a fresh start.

……

……

Inside the residential community.

Enzo saw a strange scene: dead weeds split off and new weeds grew on the land in the community.

He suddenly understood why there were so many wild grasses here.

The plants here can climb all over the building, which is probably for this reason.

Enzo said:

"Are these plants our enemies?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Even a low-quality demon king is still a demon king. At the very least, a demon king should be a respectable being."

Wen Xishu took out a compass.

But the compass needle started spinning erratically.

"This thing is broken?" Enzo took out his paintbrush and drawing paper, already in battle mode.

Wen Xishu said:
"It's not bad; it's a warning that there's a deadly danger ahead."

Wen Xishu wasn't afraid, but he was still quite cautious.

He strode forward.

Plants are certainly not the enemy; it is just that the enemy here has given plants this characteristic.

Wen Xishu and the others walked to the central courtyard of the residential area. Plants climbed all over the public fitness equipment.

Not far away, there was a huge sandpit where children played.

It was strange there; there was no vegetation covering it at all.

But in the center of the sandpit, a child was barefoot in the sand, seemingly building a sandcastle.

Enzo was somewhat surprised. Was this the "Demon King" he was supposed to deal with?
Wen Xishu was already used to seeing children with superhuman fighting power.

They walked to the edge of the sandpit.

The child went from having his back to them to facing them.

The child had clearly noticed Wen Xishu as well.

His eyes were so terrifying that they could hardly be called eyes.

There was no white in his eyes, only countless pupils, like a spoonful of black caviar piled on a plate, or more precisely, like a bunch of apple snail eggs growing in his eyes.

Those pupils were densely packed together in one eye.

Enzo was so afraid of trying it that he had a phobia of it.

"Kill...kill you all, kill everyone...only then can I...find myself again, and kill you all!"

The little boy, who seemed harmless, suddenly said something strange.

Enzo was still waiting for the "cutscene," but after the little boy said those words, the boss battle started right away.

The little boy moved instantly and appeared in front of Wen Xishu and the others.

The image of Wenxi Tree was reflected in countless pupils.

The little boy opened his mouth as if to fight like a wild beast, ready to tear apart his prey.

The moment his mouth opened, Wen Xishu noticed... the little boy had several rows of teeth and several tongues.

No, it shouldn't be said that there are several rows; it should be that there are countless rows.

The teeth are covered with fine, dense teeth, and the tongue is covered with a sticky substance.

He was clearly a normal person without opening his eyes or speaking, but Wen Xishu felt that he was more like a monster from a horror movie.

The moment the little boy bit Wenxi Tree, Wenxi Tree launched a perfect counterattack.

At the same time, the Ultimate Kick is launched.

A powerful kick sent the little boy flying.

At the same time, Enzo also drew the weapons.

He took out a rough-lined, ink-wash style RPG directly from his painting.

A watercolor-style cannonball was launched at the little boy.

The little boy couldn't dodge the blow; his eyes were filled with terror.

"No! Don't kill me!"

He was actually scared.

But what happened next was incredibly bizarre.

The little boy, who was knocked away by Wen Xishu and then hit by Enzo's weapon from the painting, exploded in an instant...

It looked like it had been blown to pieces, its flesh and blood mangled.

But the next second, Enzo got goosebumps:
"How...how could this happen?"

Countless flesh and blood began to writhe, and in a very short time, hundreds of little boys appeared in the sandpit area of ​​the community's central courtyard.

These little boys are almost indistinguishable from the real person.

Its eyes had countless pupils, resembling apple snail eggs. It also had several rows of teeth and many tongues.

They all looked at Wen Xishu and Enzo with pain and anger.

Wen Xishu suddenly had an extremely bad feeling.

"Are these considered clones of one person? Or the births of hundreds of people? The scales will never tip..."

If this counts as the birth of hundreds of "lives," then if the scales never tip, wouldn't that mean that hundreds of people would die in that instant?

Wen Xishu looked around, but nothing had changed.

At that moment, hundreds of children rushed over in anger.

With Wen Xishu and Enzo back to back, their combined strength was more than enough to withstand the impact.

In Wen Xishu's hands, the Scorpion Blade unleashed streaks of cold light.

Enzo, the ink-wash style warrior, also relentlessly bombards the surrounding enemies.

Both of them were highly skilled in combat, and hundreds of children couldn't even get close to them.

But this battle has only just begun to take on a bizarre turn.

The number of children has now exceeded 10,000 without anyone noticing...

Despite their constant killing, Wen Xishu and Enzo discover that their enemies have grown to an unimaginable number.

"Kill...kill you all, kill everyone...only then can I...find myself again, and kill you all!"

"I am the real one! You are all fake!"

The little boy said those words and launched his attack.

But it wasn't just one little boy who said those words, but countless little boys.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill you all! Find yourself!"

Countless little boys charged forward once again.

The artist finally understood: these little boys seemed to be immortal; each time they died, two new little boys would split off.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to fight this?"

Enzo was unsure whether he should attack or not.

At this moment, even though they were inside the residential area, they could feel the changes in the atmosphere outside.

Countless people died, and countless occupied buildings welcomed new owners.

The monsters throughout the city constantly fluctuated in their aura, alternating between destruction and rebirth.

Enzo was at a loss for what to do, and he couldn't escape either, because the boss battle prevented him from leaving the area.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:
"Don't attack them yet, avoid them first! We can't let them multiply."

Enzo understood that it was indeed not advisable to take action against an enemy that was growing ever larger with each kill, until a way to completely eliminate them and make them disappear was found.

"Hold on for a bit, I'll draw a maze, and we'll hide inside!"

Enzo began to draw.

Upon hearing this, Wen Xishu exclaimed, "Is that even possible? This SSS-level hero is indeed very useful!"

However, even for Wen Xishu, stopping so many monsters would be extremely difficult.

His swordsmanship became increasingly formidable, as he developed proficiency in the very act of swinging the sword.

Perfect parries and pinpoint kicks are still being improved with practice.

This is actually a good place to level up.

Wen Xishu suddenly remembered that Scorpio had said this place was a great place for nourishment.

As he parried his opponent's attacks with the Scorpion Blade, he wondered if this was the great tonic that Scorpion had mentioned.

But Wen Xishu felt that it shouldn't be like this.

"We cannot get bogged down in an endless battle. I must find... a way to stop the division."

The little boy's attack was fierce, but fortunately his basic strength was not strong. However, this move of infinite splitting presented a feeling of conceptual invincibility.

Wen Xishu realized that if he killed one of the targets here, the target would become two.

He did his best not to kill, but only to protect Enzo.

But ironically, the number of little boys is still increasing.

The phrase "I am the real one, and you are the fake ones!" kept bombarding Wen Xishu's ears.

Tens of thousands of little boys recited this phrase together.

Then, Wen Xishu discovered... not only nearby, but also on a building in the corner of the community, the little boy's figure appeared.

He carefully scanned his surroundings and finally discovered that the children were attacking each other!
Their mutual attacks caused more and more boys to be split apart.

"No...something's not right. How come I don't feel any lack of energy at all after splitting into so many?"

Wen Xishu was about to be overwhelmed. These children were reckless, acting like human bombs, and frantically crashing into Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was able to barely hold on thanks to his perfect parries and dodges.

Even in this situation, he was still thinking about how to break the deadlock.

He discovered that this bug-like ability to split did not cause the little boy to lose physical strength.

After the number of boys surpassed 100,000, the power dynamics of the entire city were reshuffled.

“Each of his deaths is not death, but a new life, and a double new life... This means that two people need to die outside the population to maintain balance and prevent the scales from tipping.”

"But there's no sign of death here, so it must be outside?"

Wen Xishu grew increasingly alarmed. He wondered how Elsa Devon and the others were doing now.

But at the same time, he is also getting close to a certain truth:

"No matter how fast my skill improves, it can't keep up with the speed of splitting..."

"At this rate of splitting, it could reach millions in half an hour!"

"But he showed no signs of exhaustion. His rate of division increased rather than decreased."

"Could it be that his splitting doesn't consume his own power, but rather relies on external objects?"

Wen Xishu vaguely found the answer. It was also at this moment that Enzo tossed his hastily drawn but undeniably complex maze-like painting into the sky.

Not long after——

A maze of stages descended from the sky! The structure of the neighborhood instantly became complicated.

Wen Xishu and Enzo hid deep within the maze. Wen Xishu said:

"I think I understand why this is a substandard product. Libra's ambitions are indeed quite large."

Enzo said:

Do you have a way to break this deadlock?

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Yes, but first, we need to find the source of the power that causes it to split infinitely."
