Three Towers Game

Chapter 382 The Forms of Constellation Wars

"You are... Hitomi Morita?"

Although he had already recognized her, Wen Xishu still pretended to be surprised.

Or perhaps he was genuinely surprised.

Hitomi Morita's appearance has changed a lot. Her skin is a bit darker, but you can still see that gentle feeling of a Japanese boy. However, the curve of her jaw gives people a sharp and decisive feeling.

As for Master Lingqing, since he was using "appearances," Wen Xishu didn't see any change in him.

"Now is not the time to chat, let's seal this monster first."

Master Lingqing immediately cast a talisman.

004 wanted to escape, but the staff was imbued with the power of Master Lingqing's incantation.

Wen Xishu was genuinely surprised. After all, 004 was enough to force Wen Xishu into a state of self-centeredness.

Even if it's not at the level of the Red House, it shouldn't be something Master Lingqing could handle.

In his mind, although the mage had considerable magical power, his strength should not have been enough to kill a monster of 004's level in one move.

However, after Master Lingqing recited the scriptures, talismans suddenly appeared out of thin air all around. These talismans shone with a golden luster and, like chains, locked up 004.

This extremely troublesome monster can absorb the power of others and is immune to physical attacks...

Just like that, amidst Master Lingqing's incantations and chanting... they lost their ability to resist.

More and more talismans frantically stuck to 004, who was completely unable to move and could only let the talismans envelop his body, covering every part of him.

Finally, a blood-red "seal" character appeared at the center of those talismans, spreading across multiple talismans.

"Sealing complete. This monster is very strong, but it is too confident in its abilities, and it doesn't dodge or evade."

Master Lingqing smiled slightly, then clasped his hands in prayer and bowed to Wen Xishu.
"It's been quite a few years since we last met."

Wen Xishu said:
"Master, how did you become so powerful?"

Master Lingqing said:

"With the help of King Pity and the Goddess of Suffering, my power has leaped several times. It's a long story, let's leave here first."

"Otherwise, if we alert Huang Quan, things will get complicated. Without Xiao Xing, the few of us alone probably won't be able to deal with Huang Quan."

Who is Huang Quan?
Wen Xishu is truly very interested in the post-apocalyptic era.

He is no longer afraid to speak because he no longer has that strange feeling that he would be silenced once he opens his mouth.

Because I met someone in the Three Towers world who had a strong impression of me.

At this moment, the existence of the three towers is permitted.

"Okay, let's talk as we walk, but right now the most important thing is whether you can save this child?"

Wen Xishu pointed at the little ant.

The little ants were extremely weak. Although Wen Xishu protected them with his bone wings, the little ants were already on the verge of death.

At this moment, Rinchuan Yuan also asked:

"You...are the Pure Demon Monks?"

Master Lingqing nodded:
"Yes."

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Don't be afraid, we're here to rescue you. Your wish has been granted; you wanted to join the Pure Demon Monk, and the Pure Demon Monk has found you."

This statement confirmed the current situation for Rin Chuanyuan and greatly alleviated his obsession.

The good news doesn't stop there; King Lian's power is to bring happiness to people.

At this moment, Rin Chuan Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of happiness, as if it were all unreal.

He was supposed to experience the greatest despair, watching his companions die one by one... and eventually even being dissected himself, which gave rise to a huge obsession.

But at that moment, they were saved.

"It's the radiation that's affecting her life. No problem, I can keep her alive for now. Once we get to the Grand Theater, Sister Xiaoxing and I can work together to save her!"

"Speaking of which, is this your friend, Yuuki-nii?" Kotomi pointed to Rinkawa Haru.

The reason I think this is because Wen Xishu and Lin Chuanyuan look completely different from the other test subjects.

Rin Chuan Yuan is completely human, while Wen Xi Shu has mutated, but interestingly, this mutation is in the direction of becoming "handsome".

He wasn't as indescribable as some people thought; the bone wings on his back simply made him look more majestic.

Wen Xishu shook his head:
“No, he is the one I am trying to rescue. He seems to have some kind of power within him that makes him immune to radiation.”

These words caused both Master Lingqing and Xiaotong to turn their attention to Lin Chuanyuan.

Rinchuan nodded:

"Hmm... I don't seem to be able to be mutated by those drugs no matter what."

Xiao Tong smiled and said:

"Brother Xishu, we've been looking for this kind of person for so long... really, and then you showed up and guided us to him. It's just too good to be true."

Wen Xishu was also thinking... The power of the King of Reunion seems harmless, but once activated, it forcibly binds the Goddess of Fate to his side, which is truly abnormal.

"Let's go, talk as we go."

The group began to leave, with Xiao Yi being carried by Lin Chuanyuan, while the other test subjects supported each other.

Wen Xishu could already imagine how much information he could learn if he met Xiaoxing.

With the help of Master Lingqing, the leader of the Pure Demon Monks who had been strengthened multiple times, everyone traveled smoothly without any obstacles.

But soon, an unsolvable problem appeared before Wen Xishu.

He encountered an invisible wall.

Just as everyone left the experimental base and was about to enter the next block...

Wen Xishu suddenly saw an air wall made up of countless white cubes.

He suddenly understood.

When carrying out this kind of mission, one's range of movement is limited... If one does not encounter someone who has been redeemed by one in the Tower of Desire, then it is equivalent to being unable to speak and having a limited range of movement.

Therefore, killing the target to clear one's obsession is indeed the simplest and most efficient method.

"I'm sorry, I can't leave this area... Actually, I'm in a special state, just like when you met me a few years ago."

"My activity range was much smaller than it was back then..."

Through Wen Xishu's actions, everyone could see that there was an invisible force hindering him.

Hitomi Morita was somewhat anxious:
"How...how could this be? Brother Yuuki, is there no other way?"

Wen Xishu shook his head.

"If Sachi wakes up, I'll be able to see you..." Morita Hitomi is a battle-hardened hero, but at this moment she was so sad that she almost cried.

Master Lingqing sighed:

"It seems you're still in a special time?"

Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, Master, you may find it hard to believe... it has been many years since you last saw me."

"But I've only been away from you for two months."

This is indeed incredible, but both Master Lingqing and Hitomi Morita are very receptive to change.

Lin Chuanyuan, who was standing next to him, was completely bewildered, but he thought that this person named Wen Xishu was very classy.

Like a powerful character who suddenly appears in a comic book.

"I'm afraid I don't have that much time to wait for Xiaoxing to wake up. By the time I arrive again, I'll probably be far away from here."

"I have completed my mission. I will probably disappear soon and return to where I belong."

"So let's not waste time. Let's leave the small talk and asking about the past behind. I won't question why you two, Xiaoxing and Xiaotong, used your powers more than once. Although I warned you, sometimes the situation is indeed unavoidable, and I understand."

"Next, tell me, who is the most formidable enemy you are facing?"

"What is the strongest monster in Togo right now?" Wen Xishu asked seriously.

Hitomi Morita was very sad that she had to leave so soon after they met.

Master Lingqing said:

"Yellow Spring."

Wen Xishu said:
"Master, what kind of spell can I use to learn about it? Its appearance, abilities, where it appears, and the strength of its abilities..."

Master Lingqing was truly capable. He quickly drew a talisman, the effect of which was to implant a portion of his memories into the other person's mind.

It has no intrusion attributes, but it can achieve a very good intelligence sharing effect.

The Underworld is a product of the Cancerian influence.

With abilities that far surpass those of ordinary red houses, it is the strongest monster recently born in Toe.

Wen Xishu said:
"Okay, leave it to me."

Morita Hitomi asked in surprise:

"Brother Xishu, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Wen Xishu smiled mysteriously:
“I can’t kill it, but I can sever its destiny. Believe me, it will gradually become less important.”

Wen Xishu already knew all of Huang Quan's attributes, characteristics, and appearance.

Back in the bunker, he planned to tell Xun Hui and the old principal to focus on finding Huang Quan in the Hujiang area.

Although the location to reach Ruth Tower is random... Ruth Tower is a large map mode.

If the old principal wanted to, he could really go and kill them every time. No matter how strong Huang Quan is, can he be stronger than Sagittarius? Can he withstand a punch from the old man?
It's best to kill this monster every time you log into the Tower of Slaughter.

He suddenly realized that once he was able to travel between the real battlefield and the bunker...

In an instant, I found the correct way to use the Luta.

Master Lingqing said in disbelief:
"Really? We've suffered in the Yellow Springs for too long, its power is too strong... It might evolve into something even Xiao Xing and Xiao Tong can't—" Before he could finish speaking, Wen Xishu interrupted him, saying:
"It's alright, Master, Xiaotong. You should avoid it for a while. Trust me, it can't evolve anymore. No matter how much potential you think it has, it won't make much progress."

Wen Xishu spoke with such certainty that both Morita Hitomi and Master Lingqing felt... it was practically cheating.

The ferocity of Huang Quan left them in quite a sorry state.

But when they heard Yuuki speak, both of them were willing to believe him.

It's like you came here just to do a side quest, but ended up killing the main boss instead.

Although I don't know what it means to sever fate, if the Yellow Springs don't become a threat, that's enough to change the situation.

Wen Xishu said:
"Next, I need to know if you've ever heard of astrology?"

"Was the War of the Three Towers a war between constellations? How did they fight each other? In your timeline, did any constellations die?"

Master Lingqing and Morita Hitomi both noticed that Wen Xishu was in a hurry, and they realized that the other party might really be short on time.

Then Hitomi Morita said:
"Those god-like figures rarely make a move. They are more like beings who hide behind countless monsters or powerful figures, manipulating them as pawns."

"I've been fortunate enough to meet Virgos and Geminis before. Of course, I can't guarantee 100% that it was them. But I think it's highly unlikely that anyone would dare to impersonate them, right?"

"And the feeling they gave me was that they were indeed very strong, incredibly strong... incomprehensibly strong."

Virgo and Gemini?
Wen Xishu thought about it and realized it was true. Xiao Tong and Xiao Xing met the requirements of Gemini, and Xiao Xing alone met the requirements of Virgo.

Although he had never known what the request was, the answer was about to be found.

Hitomi Morita said:
"It seems that most people in this world can resonate with and belong to a zodiac sign."

"For example, Xiaoxing and I can resonate with and belong to Gemini, while Xiaoxing can also resonate with and belong to Virgo."

"Of course, according to the two constellations, only most qualified individuals can produce this. There are a few exceptions, who belong to the outer god forces and cannot establish this resonance and belonging."

"Some people can actually resonate with and belong to multiple zodiac signs. For these people, it is necessary to win them over and for them to make their own choices and ultimately choose their place."

"For example, I once... According to Gemini, if I hadn't been redeemed by someone, I might have felt a sense of belonging and resonance with Aquarius."

"Sister Xiaoxing too."

"Furthermore, the constellations rarely clash head-on; they all seem to be striving to find and increase the number of people who can resonate with and belong to them."

"And the winner will be decided through the battles of these like-minded people."

“They are all very well hidden. Constellations can indeed kill us instantly... although Xiaoxing and I have powerful sequences.”

"But Virgo and Gemini also admitted that they can only appear together. If they appear alone, they may be ambushed by other zodiac signs."

"Correspondingly, the same applies to other zodiac signs. They are also very afraid of having their location discovered."

Wen Xishu could understand this.

If you want to hide your zodiac sign, it's really hard to find.

Putting aside everything else, even weaker secondary constellations like Qilin, Phoenix, and Sirius are well hidden, let alone powerful beings like the twelve constellations.

Everyone knows that Sagittarius is hiding in some chaotic realm, but no one can find Sagittarius.

The other constellations are also hiding.

Because nobody wants to be exposed, nobody wants to be the first one killed...

But the secret of where they are hiding—it's all in the Tower of Ghosts.

Wen Xishu has already found three of the five secondary constellations through the Ghost Tower.

Presumably, continuing to climb the tower will unlock even more secrets.

Hitomi Morita continued:
"Resonance and belonging are like a contract. Each of us can choose to fix our final belonging to a certain constellation and receive blessings and power..."

According to Virgos, the zodiac sign with the most resonance and the strongest resonance seems to unlock special authority that will help the corresponding sign eventually become a god.

"People who are the embodiment of myths and legends will feel a sense of resonance and belonging to Aries."

"Those who are passionate about competition and glory and enjoy grand ceremonies will resonate with and belong to Taurus."

"Those who have someone they are willing to protect will feel a sense of belonging and connection with Gemini."

"Those who crave blood and battle, and are obsessed with killing, will resonate with and belong to Cancer."

"A woman who is pure and fearless and retains her original heart will resonate with and feel a sense of belonging to a virgin."

"Those who seek balance and order will find resonance and a sense of belonging with Libra."

"People who are passionate about entertainment and games will feel a sense of belonging and resonance with Scorpio."

Those who are restless and wander without a home will find resonance and a sense of belonging with Capricorn.

"Those who are not bound by morality and ethics and pursue their desires will resonate with and belong to Aquarius."

"Those who reminisce about the past and are sensitive to the passage of time will feel a sense of belonging to Pisces."

"Currently, the sign with the most resonance and belonging is Leo, but he does not gain belonging by generating resonance and belonging."

"In fact, no one can establish a sense of belonging and resonance with the lion at the beginning, but if one's heart is broken by the lion's power... and one becomes a loser, one will eventually establish a sense of belonging and resonance with the lion, and that will be the only one."

According to Scorpio and Virgo, Leo is powerful and good at fighting, and is the strongest on the surface. Although he cannot establish a sense of belonging with anyone, he has the most followers through conquest.

"The one with the fewest is Sagittarius... He is not like Leo, who is unable to establish a direct resonance or sense of belonging with anyone."

"Sagittarius's resonance seems to be related to epiphanies, reflection, and mental barriers. However, Virgo itself is not certain about this."

"Virgo said that Sagittarius might be the one with the least resonance and belonging. But he is also the most likely to directly kill a certain zodiac sign."

Tsk tsk... Archer bro, you still need to practice. You're too weak. You don't even have the conditions for resonance belonging.

Wen Xishu never expected that the one he and the old principal had teamed up to defeat was actually the weakest one.

Of course, Sagittarius's attack power and direct combat ability are impeccable. After all, they are beings that can kill other constellations on their own without needing to resonate with or belong to any constellation.

Hitomi Morita said:
"In short, apart from Leo, most of the zodiac signs are elusive and their battles are complex and subtle."

"More than anything, it's a battle among those who share the same resonance."

"If you can only resonate with and belong to a single constellation, it means that you belong to the power of that constellation."

"If one can resonate with and belong to multiple zodiac signs... then that person needs to actively choose their own resonance and belonging."

"For example, Sister Xiaoxing has the resonance of Gemini and Virgo, but she has to make a choice, she has to choose one. In the end, she is like me, belonging to Gemini."

Fortunately, Virgos don't seem to be angry.

"As I mentioned before, the constellation with the most or strongest resonance will gain some kind of authority. Before anyone is confident of killing anyone else in a direct confrontation... everyone will compete for resonance."

"For example, a good person might find resonance and belonging with Virgos and Libras, but suddenly the player in charge intervenes, causing this good person to fall into badness..."

"Then the world will have one less Virgo and Libra person to resonate with, and one more Aquarius person to resonate with."

Wen Xishu understood.

No wonder those zodiac signs can develop or decrease their favorability towards someone based on a certain choice they make.

It turns out that one's own choices can cause those beings within the Tower of Desire or the Tower of Mystery to change their resonance affiliation.

Just like Liu Jianxin, if I let Liu Jianxin turn evil, then the favor I gain will not be from Aries and Leo, but from Aquarius.

Today, Morita Hitomi's words made Wen Xishu realize the importance of the Ghost Tower.

In a sense, those with powerful aptitudes are all inside the Tower of Deception.

And I am the one who can decide who in the Tower of Ghosts will resonate with the corresponding constellation and belong to it.

The zodiac signs are afraid of direct confrontation because none of them want to die, and everyone wants to hide in the back...

So their competition turned into who had more or better resonance with others.

Yes, quantity is one path, and quality is another.

Assuming that resonance affiliates also have scores,
Having Tang Rui is a higher score than having the An brothers.

Because Tang Rui is stronger and has better aptitude.

Of course, Wen Xishu could also imagine that if he were a certain constellation, he would find a way to kill Morita Hitomi and Akiyama Yuki on the battlefield of Toe.

In this way, although it cannot increase the number of resonance affiliates, it can at least reduce the number of resonance affiliates of the enemy.

Especially considering they are both of such high quality.

The zodiac signs are certainly aware of this, but they just don't want to get involved directly.

They must remain a mystery.

There is only one exception—the lion.

Therefore, Leo is a thorn in the side of all the zodiac signs. After all, who wouldn't hate someone who turns their allies into the allies of their enemies?

Even Scorpio's first desire is to defeat Leo. Wen Xishu has already foreseen that battle through the future given to him by Pisces.

That battle was like a game of chess. The terrain became especially important. Scorpio must have captured Sirius to orchestrate that game.

Wen Xishu said:
"So this situation has never occurred before? The resonance recipient... has power exceeding the limit, to the point that they are stronger than the constellation they belong to?"

Hitomi Morita was somewhat puzzled:
"That's strange, Brother Xishu. The questions you asked seem to be the kinds of questions that Virgos and Geminis know to ask. They actually did say them."

"Such beings do exist; they are the kind of people that all the constellations yearn for and strive for...god-level aptitude."

"For example, Long Xia's... the god in the Dragon Hidden Project, it seems to be able to resonate and belong to any constellation."

"But its power is greater than that of most constellations."

"When such a group of people appears, we often see a showdown between the constellations."

Although it was mentioned earlier that there are very few clashes between zodiac signs, "rare" does not mean "never".

A good confidant can make even the zodiac signs take risks.

Wen Xishu really needs to be careful of those Charlie-like figures in the Ghost Tower now.

"I have another question. Haven't you heard about my whereabouts? Haven't you heard of Wind City? Haven't I told you?"
