Three Towers Game

Chapter 343 The End of the Dust

[Gemini's favorability +10.]

Virgo's favorability +15.

[Upon reaching a certain level of Virgo's favorability and successfully surviving the mission, you will receive an invitation from Virgo.]

[Pisces' favorability +5.]

As the two children embraced warmly, and as the sunlight broke through the dust, Wen Xishu received a notification.

To his surprise, he actually received a positive response from Pisces.

And, no other zodiac signs experienced a decrease in favorability.

Wen Xishu knew that the appearance of such a notification usually meant that the mission was about to end.

However, it's not certain, as he hasn't received "Desire Charlie's Favorability" yet, so there's probably still some work to be done.

This was the most difficult operation to build the tower, but also the simplest.

If this action can awaken Charlie, then everything will fall into place; if it cannot awaken Charlie…

Then it's all in vain.

Wen Xishu could sense that, in a very short instant, the Ghost Tower and the Desire Tower seemed to resonate with each other.

Is this Charlie's ability?

If so, he really needs to think carefully about why Charlie could do this.

The boy and girl, who had been embracing tightly, finally parted ways.

Anya's tears finally stopped:

“Charlie…how did you know I was here? I didn’t tell you about this place.”

Charlie couldn't believe his own eyes either. He had been running, running nonstop, running with all his might.

Only then did he realize that it was all truly magical.

It seemed as if he had fallen into a huge vortex because of Anya's departure.

This vortex is too big... much bigger than the one in Anya's diary, as if it's going to swallow the whole world.

But he didn't know what to do.

Just when he felt that perhaps he should accept this being swallowed up, and when countless taunts rained down on him...

Suddenly, someone appeared and violently overthrew those who had bullied him, pulling him out of the vortex.

Without saying anything more, he simply told himself that Anya was waiting for him, and then gave himself a compass.

This person appeared extremely abruptly, without any foreshadowing or destiny.

But he did appear, and the compass was accurate, leading him to Anya.

Charlie said:

"All of this seems to have been divinely inspired."

"I think I... understand something."

Charlie smiled at Anya.

More and more sunlight began to pierce through the dust and haze. Gradually, the city began to take on a healing quality.

Wen Xishu also reappears at this time.

"Charlie, it's time to return my compass."

His voice came from behind Charlie and Anya, and Charlie turned around abruptly.

"Ah...you, you're that person! Have you been following me all this time?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

“My name is Wen Xishu, I come from the East. Charlie, your life is too cowardly.”

Anya was puzzled. When did Charlie get such a friend? But judging from what Charlie said earlier, the Asian man wasn't a hallucination...

It's not some Charlie's epiphany, it's something that really exists.

This is the person right in front of me.

“Yes, I have to follow you because I need to make sure my mission is accomplished, and I need to make sure that a timid child like you really has the courage to go find Anya.”

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Fortunately, you still have some courage. You didn't disappoint, Charlie."

"Logically, I should be leaving, but I need to get the compass back, and secondly... I need to give some instructions."

If such a scene has ever occurred in your life, even just once...

A person exuding an aura of strength gives you a tool to guide you, and then you make the biggest choice of your life.

If this person were to reappear, you would surely worship him as a god.

Wen Xishu knew this.

Charlie respectfully returned the compass to Wen Xishu, expressing his heartfelt gratitude:
Thank you! Thank you so much!

The obsessives in places of obsession are often those with special abilities, that is, people with superpowers.

Admittedly, many ordinary people are obsessed with this world. But the protagonist of every world is certainly not simple.

Wen Xishu looked at Charlie:

"Charlie, do you know why this city is shrouded in strange dust?"

Charlie shook his head.

Wen Xishu said:
"because of you."

Charlie smiled awkwardly. Although he had been brave once, the fundamental nature of his life was not so easily changed.

Wen Xishu didn't offer much explanation, only saying:

"In the original course of events, you did not save Anya, and Anya jumped to her death today."

"You can ask Anya if she's standing here with the intention of dying."

Charlie looked at Anya, and Anya nodded slightly.

Wen Xishu said:
"After Anya's death, you began to lose your integrity, and you developed a great fear of the world."

"This dust comes from here, and in a way you could say... you're a monster."

Charlie shook his head in surprise, unable to believe what he was hearing.

But these words were spoken by Wen Xishu, whom he now reveres as a god.

Wen Xishu said:
"Look at the sky. Don't you think this scene is beautiful?"

In the sky, the thick clouds made up of dust had many gaps.

Sunlight streamed down onto the dilapidated terrace.

Even Anya noticed it for the first time... because the light and shadow made the terrace quite beautiful.

"When your mood improves, the dust will gradually dissipate. When your fear of the world decreases and you begin to love humanity... I believe that not only will the dust disappear, but... there will be many special miracles in this place."

"I said, the whole world is waiting for you to save it, but it may also be destroyed because of your waiting."

"Now, congratulations, you are the savior."

Amazing.

For Charlie, these statements and his current fate seem too incredible.

That enormous vortex seemed to have erased all traces, leaving only its outline, like a warm sun.

"I……"

Charlie still didn't know what to say.

Wen Xishu also knew that this was how it was done—by cramming all the information into her at once.

If someone suddenly appears and tells you they are the savior, they will most likely try to sell you a copy of "The Tathagata's Palm" for five yuan a copy, or three copies for ten yuan...

Yuki had no choice but to do it.

Your life saved Anya, but it was just a tragic turning point. If you don't heal that deep-seated self-doubt and loathing...

You will lose Anya again, and you will lose a lot more.

"Remember this, you possess incredible power. Everything that is happening today, including my existence, is because of you."

"You will encounter many more problems in the future, and the whole world will face problems in the future."

"Approach this with a healthy mindset. Remember, the person you embraced today is someone you will have the courage to protect no matter what."

Charlie nodded, bewildered.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought of a question:
"By the way, what year and month is it now?"

Charlie gave a number.

This number surprised Wen Xishu.

"you sure?"

“This… I can still be sure of that, Mr. Wen,” Charlie said nervously.

This plot was too sci-fi for Charlie.

Someone appears and changes their destiny; this person doesn't even know the time... Isn't this a time-traveling redemption?

If Wen Xishu didn't have an Asian face, Charlie would even think, "Could it be my grown-up self coming to save me?"
Wen Xishu was now somewhat bewildered by the sheer volume of information. The timeline Charlie provided was different from any of the timelines he had experienced.

In the past, whether it was the An brothers, Jack and Jennifer, Horn...

They are all on the edge of the apocalypse, perhaps before the apocalypse, or perhaps after the apocalypse.

But Charlie, it was four years before the end of the world began.

At that moment, Wen Xishu suddenly understood.

No wonder Charlie caught the attention of Aries.

Aries' words resurfaced in Wen Xishu's mind.

“We don’t have much time. I’ll tell you something: Charlie created the Dust Land before the end of the world.”

"Therefore, Charlie became the biggest legend in that country, and it even had the potential to become a god."

"People's descriptions of Charlie, their stereotypes of Charlie, will deepen Charlie's distortion and amplify its power."

At the time, Wen Xishu thought this was the edge of the apocalypse.

So I didn't pay much attention to it.

But four years before the end of the world... that is, almost no one, except for the top officials of those few major countries, thought that the world was going to end.

And at that time... Charlie had already built the Land of Dust.

Those places that are completely inexplicable by science.

Charlie is too special, isn't he?
Combining this with my recent experience of sensing a connection between the eerie tower and the tower of desire...

And Charlie's time manipulation abilities...

Wen Xishu increasingly felt that Charlie was no ordinary person; this child truly possessed immense power.

However, after the apocalypse, the zodiac signs will have too many people to win over.

Even though Pisces can observe the future, the world is too vast, so they may not be able to observe Charlie immediately.

He was even thinking...

Is it possible that it was his own journey to the Tower of Ghosts that drew everyone's attention to Charlie?

Then all the constellations started to notice Charlie?

Although during the meeting, they all seemed to have been watching Charlie for a long time...

But that's because there are decades between us.

If they've really been paying attention for that long... then Charlie should have been completely won over by some zodiac sign long ago.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought deeply, and he looked at Charlie:

"Four years from now... the world will be full of ghost stories, Charlie, do you believe me?"

Charlie nodded; this time it was definitely more than the previous times.

Because Wen Xishu's sentence structure perfectly matched Charlie's inner imagination.

Wen Xishu was also somewhat excited...

In the next few years, if Charlie properly develops his powers... there are so many things Charlie can change.

But Wen Xishu ultimately poured cold water on his own enthusiasm:
“No… I can’t assume Charlie’s upbringing and thus push him toward those major historical events.”

"Otherwise, I might have harmed him."

Yes, Charlie possesses a powerful force within him, a force strong enough to attract ten of the twelve zodiac signs.

But Charlie has changed now.

Perhaps Charlie's power is inherently dark; he can create a land of dust, but not necessarily a land of light.

Perhaps Charlie has now transformed from a major villain into a good guy. A villain's power is ten times greater, while a redemption weakens him by three times.

Thinking about it this way, Wen Xishu said:
“If you observe carefully, you will find more and more strange reports around the world.”

"Then you all need to find ways to develop your own abilities."

Geminis are often interested in twins who are together, and these twins are usually both capable.

Virgos are also interested in girls with pure personalities...

Anya must be quite remarkable to be interested in two different zodiac signs.

Wen Xishu said:
"Anya, you too. You and Charlie must be careful and learn to hide your abilities. Learn to use your abilities wisely, but also learn to conceal them."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Anya and Charlie nodded.

Wen Xishu said:
"I really wanted to reveal some more information, but it's too late, I have to go back."

Yes, Wenxi Tree's time is running out.

Because the favorability indicators for "Desire Anya", "Desire Charlie", "Slaughter Anya", and "Slaughter Charlie" have arrived.

They all have a favorability rating of 100, and there are even thank-you notes that can be obtained from the guide.

"By the way, you might want to think about how your life would have changed if I hadn't shown up today."

Wen Xishu suddenly uttered this sentence.

He started conducting experiments again.

Finally, Wen Xishu decided to suddenly disappear in front of the two of them.

When the final farewell arrived, Wen Xishu waved his hand:

Goodbye, and I look forward to meeting you again.

He really started to look forward to it.

I look forward to meeting Jennifer and Jack, the An brothers, Xiao Xing and Xiao Tong, and Charlie and Anya in the real world...

Of course, there are also Tang Rui, Horn, and even these constellations.

He became increasingly curious about what the real Three Towers Battlefield was like.

The Wenxi Tree has disappeared.

They vanished right before Anya and Charlie's eyes.

This miracle, combined with everything that had happened that day, suddenly gave Charlie immense courage:
“Anya… So… we weren’t such miserable children after all.”

"We are the ones who are truly blessed by the world!"

Charlie's tears fell again, this time from emotion.

It was because he realized that it was as if the past hardships had been put on hold and settled completely today.

He's finally different; miracles will happen to him.

Anya nodded:
"I never expected things to turn out this way, Charlie... This is truly amazing."

……

……

In the story of Anya and Charlie in Yuta, a new chapter begins with an embrace.

And inside the mysterious tower...

Surprisingly, nothing changed.

When Wen Xishu finally returned to the Ghost Tower, nothing had changed.

It stems from that saying: You might as well imagine how your life would change if I hadn't appeared today.

In the simulation process that Wenxi Tree witnessed...

And just like that, Charlie began to simulate the scenario of losing Anya.

He felt deep pain because of this, and in a deserted place, he created a dusty place to remind himself... not to lose courage in the face of fate's choices, but to bravely protect the people he cares about.

The entire tower of ghosts remains as eerie as ever; there are still hanging men and gluttons inside…

But the final tone of the story is no longer one of despair.

When Wen Xishu had gathered everything and finally found Anya and Spark, they crossed the wall of rejection...

Anya's shout woke Charlie up, making him realize that he hadn't lost Anya yet.

He finally cleared the dust, and everything came to a perfect end.

In the final scene of the story of the Tower of Desire, sunlight shines on the rooftop, and Wen Xishu waves goodbye as he looks at Anya and Charlie's tearful smiles.

In the end, Anya and Charlie embrace, and all the dust vanishes into nothingness.

Wen Xishu didn't know if this could be considered a perfect ending.

Because of the use of the invitation, even though the scene in the haunted tower remained unchanged after his own verbal suggestion, he returned...

But can it really still be the same Ghost Tower?
However, in any case, I seem to have done a good job.

Moreover, there's one question he'd also like to ask.

So what exactly makes Charlie so special?
The person introducing you will most likely say: It's hard to say, it's hard to say, it's better not to say.

But the Heart Gate might not hide anything from him.

Wen Xishu always felt that the appearance of Wenxin could reveal some of the secrets of the Three Towers.
