Three Towers Game

Chapter 346 The Haunted Bunker

(I was delayed because I was helping my elderly relatives move to a new house to escape the summer heat.)
Wen Xishu had a very deep impression of Wen Xiange.

He witnessed this person's methods during the incident at the Reverse Seven Apartment.

The reason why the Xishu Cult has grown to its current size is indeed because of this person.

It needs to be properly nurtured.

A few months ago, some of these issues seemed very distant to Wen Xishu, and she even felt that they were things she could never have imagined in her lifetime.

Often, you are merely a driver of history; you cannot witness the entirety of it.

Just like the revolutionary predecessors who risked their lives for the sake of future generations, they knew that their generation would not be able to witness certain grand scenes.

Wen Xishu initially thought the same way, believing that someone would definitely climb to the top, but that person was not him.

But now, he doesn't think so.

The more I use the Dice of Madness, the more I feel that this thing is ridiculously powerful.

In four months, he climbed to more than fifty floors, and his pace didn't slow down much...

He suddenly realized that it might be possible for humanity to leave the bunkers and truly become a participating force in the Three Towers War.

Perhaps Wen Xiange will have an important value in this war in the future.

Wen Xishu quickly came up with an idea.

The spirit of the courtyard had also finished reporting everything. Although there were still some minor troubles, these troubles could be put aside for the time being once Wen Xishu returned to the bunker.

……

……

Forbidden Garden of the Tower of Desire Academy.

After resting for a while, Wen Xishu came here and talked with Wenren Jing.

It is worth mentioning that Wenren Jing was present, and so was Xun Hui.

Wen Xishu's feeling was that Xun Hui had obviously become much stronger.

This is the system area, where some power can be used.

Xun Hui's eyes became increasingly bright, clearly indicating a breakthrough and a significant improvement in his strength.

This is thanks to self-reflection.

Ask your heart to let those climbing the tower remove unnecessary rewards and exchange them for things that can better improve themselves.

"Dean Wen, you've arrived," Wenren Jing said with a smile.

"When it's just us... no, no matter when, please don't call me that, seniors."

Wen Xishu sat down gracefully.

"Congratulations, Senior Xun Hui. It seems your strength has improved again."

Xun Hui calmly said:

"I have to thank you for bringing in the heart-to-heart segment, Xiaoshu, you're very strong. The feeling you give me now is that you've surpassed Chaohua, both in terms of personal strength and your contributions to the bunker."

This is undoubtedly a very weighty compliment.

Of course, neither Xun Hui nor Wenren Jing knew that Wen Chaohua might be a Gemini.

Wenren Jing said:
"The sapling is indeed strong, but the morning glory is not weak either."

Xun Hui did not respond.

Wen Xishu was amused.

He knew that Senior Wenren Jing cared deeply for his older brother. Even after being convicted of "genocide," he still held Wen Chaohua in his heart.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought...

If Gemini is your older brother, then everything seems to make sense.

Perhaps Geminis possess a certain allure that makes everyone want to befriend them and become another Gemini?

His thoughts were quickly brought back to the main topic.

"Little Tree, how did you do that? Why did you disappear from the leaderboard?"

Wen Xishu then recounted his own experiences.

However, the effect of the Dice of Madness was explained as a rule of the level itself.

After hearing this, Xun Hui was filled with envy:
"I'd really like to try this kind of trick of coming back from the dead."

The usually modest and refined Wenren Jing suddenly said:
"If you disappeared... most likely, people would just sigh and lament, but there wouldn't be as big a reaction as when the little tree disappeared."

Xun Hui remained silent.

Wenren Jing said:
“Little Tree, the appearance of the Deceptive Voices has greatly increased the possibility of us cooperating. I’ve actually been in the bunker all this time and haven’t climbed the tower.”

"I plan to wait for you until you reach the seventieth floor. We'll explore together."

Wen Xishu actually thought the same thing, and now the two of them were on the same page.

"If information can be transmitted, then even if I'm in the Tower of Desire and my luck doesn't allow me to get a good entry point, I can still find the real plot with your help in the Tower of Ghosts."

What do you think, Little Tree?

Wenren Jing was very excited.

Wen Xishu discovered that Wenren was far more excited than he was.

He understood after a little thought.

The Tower of Desire is reality, but the Tower of Deception is actually the true instruction manual for the Tower of Desire.

Wen Xishu climbs the Ghost Tower, always relying on his strong reading comprehension skills to understand the various expressions within the tower, thus figuring out the plot of the Tower of Desire.

Wenren Jing's ability to climb the Desire Tower was indeed impressive...

My luck stat isn't low, but I never know what to do.

It's like Wen Xishu is playing a linear level game, while Wen Renjing is playing an open-world map.

Sometimes Wenrenjing can grasp the core of the story, while other times he doesn't even know who the main character is, and spends the whole time providing happiness for the supporting characters.

With Wen Xishu, Wenren Jing can accurately find the true main storyline of the world.

Wen Xishu was naturally happy to cooperate.

He was curious about what would happen to the world of obsession if Wenren Jing changed someone's obsession on the spot.

“That’s great, Senior Wenren. What you said to me is what I wanted to say to you too.”

Wenren Jing smiled; he actually always greeted everyone with a smile.

But her smile always seemed too... formulaic.

Only at this moment can one see the overflowing joy on Wenren Jing's face.

Xun Hui probably knew the reason, because this cooperation gave Jingzi a feeling as if he had returned to the days when the "Three Musketeers" were together.

He couldn't help but say:

"You two are a perfect pair now, while I, the one climbing the Tower of Slaughter, still have to fight alone. Mirror, you called me here with ulterior motives."

Wenren Jing waved his hand and said:

"No, but I think... if Little Tree can do that, maybe in the future, the Tower of Slaughter will also be able to establish contact with the other two towers?"

"Besides, don't you also have something to say to Xiaoshu?"

Wen Xishu looked at Xun Hui.

Xun Hui said:
“During the days you were away from the bunker, I received an order from the old man: to keep an eye on those who are trying to do something underhanded after you die.”

"I've already drafted a rough list."

Xun Hui tossed a booklet over.

It was full of names, the names of the Miyamoto family, and even the names of various nobles.

Xun Hui said:
"If you feel that a purge is necessary, just say so. The six great families can be reduced by one."

Xun Hui's words carried a hint of murderous intent.

Wen Xishu said, "I don't need to look at this roster. You can keep it yourself, senior. They're just a bunch of clowns."

"However, senior, you can help me spread some rumors."

Xun Hui was puzzled:
"What remarks?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Some people will die in the bunker. These people are because, while Wen Xishu was away, they spread rumors that Wen Xishu had died, and they tried to undermine everyone's enthusiasm for climbing the tower, belittle those who climb the Ghost Tower and the Killing Tower, and try to portray the Desire Tower as a place for the privileged class..."

"They will gradually be punished."

Xun Hui said:
"Is all this dragging on really necessary compared to just killing them outright?"

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Yes, of course."

"Many things require a gradual and sustained approach; a single intense stimulus is not as effective as a continuous stream of small, subtle stimuli."

"And we also need to keep everyone vigilant at all times."

"Besides, Senior Xun Hui, killing a bunch of people at once is just a way for you to relieve your bloodlust. You need to kill frequently to climb the Tower of Slaughter, right?"

"Furthermore, killing many people at once would cause too much of a commotion, and the public would know what happened. But if someone is killed mysteriously every now and then... people would often think of something mysterious."

"The Cult of the Evening Tree also needs a touch of mystery."

Xun Hui nodded:

"I understand what you mean, that makes sense. So, who do you think I should deal with first?"

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"I really like it when you two seniors call me Little Tree. It feels natural and friendly." "So, let's not let anyone else call me Little Tree, okay?"

Xun Hui didn't understand at first.

But Wenrenjing said:

"You mean... the Miyamoto family?"

Xun Hui understood now; it was Miyamoto Yoshiki.

"Row."

Wen Xishu learned a lot from Yuan Ling, and Miyamoto Yoshiki certainly did not deserve to die.

But since he has become so powerful, and the other party is still standing on the opposite side and thinking of making underhanded moves, then he no longer needs to tolerate it.

In the future, I might be able to leave the bunker again due to a special mechanism.

If we leave these pests around, they might cause problems in the long run.

Instead, let Senior Xun Hui take it to quell the "slaughtering fire".

……

……

That night.

Yoshiki Miyamoto quickly returned to his dormitory.

When he returned, he noticed something was strange.

Several classmates greeted him:

"Miyamoto, why are you back again?"

Yoshiki Miyamoto frowned:

"What do you mean I'm back?"

Yoshiki Miyamoto was used to being domineering and arrogant, looking down on everyone. He considered himself a member of one of the six great families and a genius.

The moment he frowned, everyone feared he might do something strange, so they immediately dispersed.

Yoshiki Miyamoto was pleased with the fear that some people around him had of him.

If it were in the Tower of Desire, he might have been more restrained, since many of the people in the Tower of Desire were nobles and had business dealings with his family.

But many of the students at Rutta come from the lower classes.

Yoshiki Miyamoto enjoys instilling fear in these people.

He quickly returned to his dormitory.

There was no one in the dormitory.

This made Yoshiki Miyamoto feel uneasy.

Normally, the people in the dormitory would wait for him.

His roommates fawned over him, and he enjoyed their flattery, so he was happy to take them out to spend money.

Yoshiki Miyamoto knew that his roommates were just being superficial and trying to get him to spend money, but he didn't care.

He believed that a qualified superior should be accompanied by a few lackeys.

He had originally planned to take these lackeys out for drinks and food tonight.

But to his surprise, none of the people who usually waited for him were in the dormitory today.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in.

Yoshiki Miyamoto felt a strong gust of wind hit his face, and then the dormitory door was slammed shut.

He couldn't even see what was happening.

But soon, he began to feel fear, because the world in his eyes suddenly began to spin.

……

……

into the night.

Miyamoto's roommates gradually started walking back.

They enjoyed the meal immensely. Miyamoto was very generous today, treating them to a meal and drinks and praising them.

You should know that in the past, it was always them who praised Miyamoto, while Miyamoto never praised anyone.

But perhaps because he had drunk enough alcohol today, Miyamoto actually praised them.

Wow, my roommates have an amazing capacity for alcohol!

Wow, bro, your compliments are even better than mine! You're such a smooth talker.

They had never seen Miyamoto like this before, and they only felt that he must have drunk a lot.

After a hearty meal, as they approached the dormitory door, Miyamoto suddenly said he needed to leave the school to take care of some business.

So Miyamoto left.

Under the watchful eyes of his roommates, Miyamoto walked towards the school gate.

The roommates didn't think much of it and headed back to the dormitory.

And just like that, a terrifying scene unfolded.

When one of Miyamoto's roommates opened the dormitory door...

I saw blood all over the walls, and Miyamoto's head, placed on the bedside table, surrounded by talismans drawn in blood.

My roommates sobered up instantly.

"what!!!!!"

The man even let out a scream that was comparable to that of a woman.

The scene was incredibly impactful: a shattered body, walls covered in blood, and Miyamoto's head.

What made them even more uneasy was...

Miyamoto left just a minute ago, didn't he? Didn't he head out of the school? How could he be dead in his dorm?

The three of them immediately realized that Miyamoto was indeed acting strangely tonight.

Before long, the school began to handle the situation. The Miyamoto family, one of the six major clans, was also immediately involved, prompting the Bunker Security Bureau to intervene.

Forensic experts and security personnel arrived quickly and took the three students into custody. Shortly afterward, the forensic expert stated that Miyamoto had been dead for three hours.

The three roommates were terrified. Just three hours earlier, they had been drinking with Miyamoto.

This scene terrified the three children.

They started talking nonsense.

If they didn't have a valid alibi, these three students would have been held responsible for Yoshiki Miyamoto's death.

In short, Yoshiki Miyamoto is dead.

Moreover, his death was quite bizarre.

Yoshiki Miyamoto appeared in the sight of others at a time when he should have been dead, and many people can testify to this.

For a time, Yoshiki Miyamoto's death became a hot topic of discussion.

Meanwhile, another rumor spread that a priest of the Xishu Cult had received a booklet containing the names of a group of people who were dissatisfied with the Xishu Cult and were trying to make the climbers of the Desire Tower great again.

This rumor, combined with Yoshiki Miyamoto's death, has led everyone to a vague speculation.

And these days...

These bizarre deaths continue to occur.

It seems that someone dies every few days.

Without exception, all of these people were of high status.

And without exception, after their deaths, people still saw their "ghosts".

This mysterious death made everyone even more interested in the matter.

People speculated that these people died as divine retribution, as punishment from the gods.

Of course, this is just speculation from the public.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could see that this was a setup.

They were all perfectly aware that the so-called setup was Wen Xishu's revenge.

Not long after Yoshiki Miyamoto's death, the head of the Miyamoto family probably guessed what had happened.

There aren't many people who dare to play tricks in the bunker. And even fewer who dare to play tricks and kill Yoshiki Miyamoto.

Almost everyone with some status in the bunker... guessed who the murderer was.

After all, one of the female directors of the bunker security bureau died with her body covered in blood.

But what good will it do to know?

Not a single member of the Miyamoto family dared to express anger or show any dissatisfaction openly; they could only repent in fear.

Because of the difference in strength.

Even if you see the truth, you have to endure it, or you'll die too. Because the person behind it all doesn't need to eliminate all enemies at once; they can torture them little by little.

This is the reckoning of Wenxi Tree.
