Three Towers Game

Chapter 379: Wei Qi·Wen Xishu

Wen Xishu also asked an extremely sharp question.

"You are a Cygnus. As far as I know, all the constellations are looking for you. You have hidden in the world of obsession, but there are also Capricorns and Sagittarians in the world of obsession."

"Aren't you afraid of being found? Is it the Three Towers Company protecting you?"

A series of questions made even the Cygnus feel that this guy seemed to have come prepared.

The Qilin constellation knows many things, but it does not know Wen Xishu's past.

Wen Xishu's past experiences came from the Three Towers Company.

The Three Towers Corporation concluded that Wen Xishu was adept at cheating. However, even the Kirin Constellation only knew that Wen Xishu possessed a strange power that allowed him to disregard certain underlying rules.

But he didn't know what kind of power it was.

He now feels that Wen Xishu seems to have a lot of dealings with astrology?
How many zodiac signs have you come into contact with?

"Almost all of them. Currently, I have only Hercules, Lyra, and Cancer that I haven't encountered yet."

“I’ve met all the other zodiac signs. I’ve even gotten along quite well with some of them. Since Gui Er knows about the Leo Heart mark on me, you must know about it too.”

"Are you sure you want to hire someone like me?"

"If I get captured during a mission and, under torture, I expose your location, wouldn't you be in big trouble?"

Wen Xishu wasn't worried about things going wrong; he just wanted Qilinzuo to say it himself, regarding the safety of the Three Towers Company's employees.

And what exactly is Monoceros's stance?

"Everyone dies eventually. If you were in my position and experienced the horror of those obsessions, you would want to put those obsessions to rest, just like me."

Qilin sighed.

"Since you know a lot of things, that's great. I can get to the point now."

"That's right, the Three Towers Company serves God; it is God's company."

"That god is not me, but my older brothers and sisters. You know, I have twelve incredibly powerful brothers and sisters."

"My abilities are much weaker than theirs."

“For every one of them, including us, who dies, they are drawn closer to God.”

"Ultimately, a god will be born, and that god will take over the Three Towers Company."

"But I don't know why, the Three Towers Company took the initiative to choose me to manage it."

"When I was chosen, I accepted my mission."

"I am destined to die. But perhaps, becoming the constellation of God will enable me to do what I desire."

"In that case, I can say that I died a worthy death."

Wen Xishu said:
"You have no bias? You don't favor any particular sign? Among all the zodiac signs, isn't there one you personally and subjectively want to help?"

Monoceros shakes its head:
"To me, that god can be anyone."

This is different from Phoenix's escapism, and also different from Sirius's active or passive choice.

The Qilin constellation has a certain feel to it: "Any county magistrate will do, I'm just here to assist the county magistrate."

Wen Xishu is still able to accept this kind of cooperation.

The Cygnus said:
“I’m not afraid of other zodiac signs finding out about me, because if they do, they’ll understand that my death isn’t the most important thing right now.”

Yes, once you understand that the Qilin is working for the constellation that will become a god in the future...

Other zodiac signs, if they have any ambition, would not kill the Cygnus.

After all, what if I become that god someday? Wouldn't I end up killing my own company's top executives?
It must be said that this is a very interesting and clever way to survive.

Monoceros is doing much better than Sirius and Phoenix. It seems Hercules and Lyra aren't any safer than Monoceros.

The Cygnus slowly said:
"No matter which zodiac sign you're close to, or who you aspire to assist, that's none of my business. But if you have enough confidence, I think..."

"By joining us, you are essentially helping him in advance, and you will surely understand that what Three Towers is doing is meaningful."

Wen Xishu naturally favors Gemini.

He couldn't say anything until he fully understood the secret of the morning flower, but Qilin was right, it was always good to help in advance.

"I agree to join."

Once you join, you'll know what Mr. Kim is planning on the battlefield of the Three Towers War.

This also tells us what Evelyn's current situation is.

"Speak, what are we doing? What's the meaning of capturing those obsessed?"

Qilin said:

"First of all, you should understand that the Tower of Ghosts is a world of obsessions, a world constructed by the obsessions of countless people in the timeline before and after the apocalypse."

"The Tower of Ghosts divides it into many levels and tasks."

"Many of them are related to the apocalypse, and they can basically be identified as the years before the apocalypse and the one to two years after the apocalypse."

"Compared to the real world, the world of obsessions appears distorted and twisted, more like a series of challenges filled with human nature and puzzle-solving elements."

"These obsessions stem from people's own experiences and various emotions."

"It depends on how you complete... or rather, eliminate your obsession. If it is done perfectly, it is possible to help the person with the obsession grow."

“In fact, some of them may even become other… ‘gods’ in the future.”

"But the container of obsessions, that is, the Tower of Ghosts, does not absorb all obsessions; some obsessions will not enter the Tower of Ghosts."

"Three to five years after the apocalypse, will no one have any obsessions?"

Wen Xishu had indeed pondered this question. Why were all the obsessions within the Tower of Ghosts born on the eve of or shortly after the apocalypse?

Does that mean there won't be any for the next few decades?
Monoceros has provided the answer this time:
"Actually, it has always existed. Even after the Three Towers War began, there were still many obsessive goals. Because there were no Mysterious Towers, their obsessions naturally did not form strange obstacles."

"But obsessions that do not belong to this time period cannot be included in the Tower of Mysteries. This may affect the stability of the Tower of Mysteries' obsession world and have some negative impact on the three towers."

"Therefore, our goal is to go to the world of the Three Towers War, capture the Obsessive, either kill them, capture them and make them employees of the Three Towers Corporation, or eliminate their obsession."

"In short, the Three Towers Corporation is essentially a... killer group."

"From Gui Shisan to Gui Yi, they all went to the battlefield of the Three Towers War to kill those who could generate strong obsessions and affect the stability of the Three Towers."

Wen Xishu roughly understood.

It can only be said that, many times, if the timing is wrong, everything will fall apart.

Those with obsessive tendencies, also known as those with rare talents, will have their obsessions collected by the Tower of Mysteries and transformed into bizarre challenges.

However, if it's not in the corresponding timeline... obsession is like radio wave interference; it won't be absorbed by the Ghost Tower, but rather repelled by it, and the obsession itself will also affect the Ghost Tower.

In other words, these obsessions have no meaning in existing.

Obsessions that can be used by me will be turned into challenges; obsessions that cannot be used by me... I will create error correction mechanisms to eliminate them.

Thus, the Tower of Deception, or even the Three Towers, constructed the Three Towers Corporation, a company that would serve God in the future. Its service project was to eliminate those obsessed with the Three Towers War.

The Three Towers Company initially had no one, but quickly found the constellation Monoceros, which longed to survive and not be killed by the other constellations.

And they gave the Cygnus a position where he wouldn't be killed in the short term.

At least Monoceros won't be the first constellation to die.

With the addition of the Qilin constellation, the Three Towers Company began to operate normally.

The Cygnus constellation begins recruiting others to eliminate those with obsessive beliefs.

After listening to Wen Xishu, that was exactly what he meant.

He said:
"What limitations do we face when we enter the real world as beings from a world of obsessions?"

Cygnus nodded:

"Of course there are. First of all, you cannot reveal your names or any of your identities."

"You can only use code names to act. Code names are Guiyi to Guisisi."

"The smaller the number, the higher the combat power, but the higher the risk of the mission." "Remember, in the real world, you do not exist; you are merely products of the world of obsession."

"Logically speaking, aside from the bunker dwellers being able to enter the Tower of Desire through invitations..."

"It is invited by the mechanisms of the real world, which is allowed, but other methods are not permitted."

"The real world has a correction mechanism. Once your existence is discovered... this correction mechanism will eliminate you. Unless you have an invitation."

"There are many ways to activate the error correction mechanism, and the name is just one of them. It's best not to say a word after entering the Three Towers War, find the target, kill the target, and make a clean getaway. That's the most standard mission procedure."

I understand, we can only use the codename "Deceptive Fourteen".

However, this does impose significant restrictions; to prevent being erased, it's best not to say a word.

Wen Xishu asked:
"Is there no other possibility? Is it absolutely forbidden to reveal names?"

After thinking for a while, the Qilin said:
"Others may not have it... but you might."

"Unless it's someone you encountered in the Three Towers who left a deep impression on you."

"Neither Guiyi nor Guishisan have them, but you might, since you come from the bunker. They come from the post-apocalyptic world."

"They can't access the obsessions within the Tower of Ghosts. But you can."

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Next time, don't wait until I ask to tell me this kind of important information."

Wen Xishu felt much more relaxed.

Very good. In that case, I need to find a way to complete Tang Rui's Tower of Slaughter mission.

Carrying that letter, I entered the Tower of Slaughter.

After completing the mission and expanding Tang Rui's opportunities, they will then enter the battlefield of the Three Towers War through the Three Towers Company...

In this way, maybe I can curry favor with Tang Rui?
Only within the Three Towers is it permitted to communicate with those who have made a deep impression on you.

This is simply great.

This is no different from experiencing the Three Towers War in advance.

However, Wen Xishu still found it strange; he didn't completely believe what Qilinzuo said.

In his view, the Tower of Ghosts would be haunted by obsessions, so it was necessary to kill those obsessive individuals from the post-apocalyptic era...

It's really weird.

He couldn't pinpoint what was strange about it.

But right now, he couldn't find any flaws in the Qilin constellation. This half-black, half-white person wasn't entirely expressionless, but whether he was smiling or surprised, it didn't seem very genuine.

Like an NPC in a novel who only reads out the answers, without revealing any personality traits.

Is the Three Towers Company really as described by the constellation Monoceros? Is it truly a company that caters to the constellations?

These are all subject to overturning.

But it is obvious that only by joining can one glimpse the truth.

"Finally, as a bunker dweller, you only have seven days. That's the bunker's rule: within seven days, as long as you remain a bunker dweller and haven't signed any agreement similar to the one granted by Capricorn..."

"You will have to go back to the bunker."

"And this conflicts with your normal tower climbing, you have to choose one or the other."

"Generally speaking, you will trigger a Three Towers War mission every three to five times you climb the tower."

"Even if this task is triggered, you can choose not to accept it."

"And once you accept it, you are essentially giving up the original Tower of Horrors mission."

"understand?"

Santa Company originated from Santa...

However, the Mysterious Tower quest, which also comes from the Three Towers, conflicts with the Three Towers War quest.

Wen Xishu sensed something was wrong again.

However, he appeared calm on his face, as if everything was perfectly reasonable.

"After all that talk, do I have a mission this time?"

Cygnus nodded:

"Of course, although the process is not yet complete, you have already successfully passed our interview test."

"Next, the company will send you to a random place, and we don't know where that place is."

"But you will receive a special hint. You find someone who matches the hint, kill him, and that completes the objective."

Do you want to come in?

The face of the Cygnus remained expressionless, neither sad nor happy.

There was no gray area in the middle of the half-black, half-white clothes.

You either kill or recruit; there are no other options.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and decided to go and take a look first. With his compass, he was bound to find his target.

It might even guide me to find some... interesting people.

"I accept the mission; it would be best to arrange for me to go now."

Qilin nodded:
"Congratulations on officially becoming our teammate."

"Considering that you bear the mark of the Lionheart and are associated with many zodiac signs, your position certainly cannot be the lowest."

"Are you willing to change your codename to Ghost Seven?"

Wen Xishu almost laughed; how could she be so destined to meet Qi?

he asked:
"Where is the original Ghost Seven?"

After a slight sigh, the Cygnus constellation...
"His whereabouts are unknown. The other members don't know the specifics yet, but it's highly likely... he's dead. You have to understand, in the post-apocalyptic era, after the Three Towers War began... that battlefield was filled with powerful monsters."

"Those who survived to that time were all extraordinary."

"Sometimes you might even encounter constellations, or other beings that could potentially become 'outer gods'."

"On that battlefield, there were people who surpassed my brothers and sisters purely in terms of combat prowess."

"Therefore, the mortality rate is also very high."

"You must keep a low profile. Having the means to save your life is sometimes more important than having the means to kill the enemy."

The Qilin took out a work badge.

The official employee badge of the Three Towers employees.

After Wen Xishu took the employee badge, it immediately displayed Wen Xishu's picture and name. However, the name field quickly changed from Wen Xishu to Gui Qi.

Wen Xishu tacitly accepted this code name.

At the same time, he also received a mission.

[First field visit assignment received. Accept? Hide employee badge?]

Wen Xishu selected "yes" for all of them.

The Cygnus constellation sensed a special energy fluctuation, the power of the flow of spacetime.

He nodded to Wen Xishu:

"After completing this mission, you will be given priority to return here, and then we will send you back to your team."

"Finally, you will return to the bunker."

"If all goes well this time, you will receive a reward for completing the bunker challenge, as well as a reward from the Three Towers Corporation."

"Good luck, Ghost Seven."
