Three Towers Game

Chapter 387 Strange Dreams
Tang Rui's home is a large one, located in a high-end residential area in the center of Jiangcheng City.

This time in Jiangcheng, although it's still the same Jiangcheng...

But Tang Rui was, after all, an ability user with great strength, and she moved into a luxury mansion in Jiangcheng.

The neighbors around here are all good people, and they sometimes come to visit.

“I’ve left a guest room with some clothes that you can use. You’ve been rained on and have blood on your hands. Go take a shower.”

Tang Rui took out slippers and pointed to a room.

Everything happened naturally, and neither of them felt awkward.

After Wen Xishu finished washing up and changing his clothes, Tang Rui was already in the living room.

She was still wearing a black dress and sitting upright on the sofa.

"Would you like something to drink or eat?" Tang Rui asked.

Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Let's get straight to the point."

Tang Rui's expression was solemn:

"Alright, I will now use the feeling of mixed emotions to bring us into my dream together, but there is a problem... I remember that your mental strength is very strong, strong enough to cover the whole world, so... please do not resist my power."

Last time at the Tower of Slaughter, Wen Xishu boasted a bit too much, using the power of the Scorpion Knife.

He said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Of course, let's begin."

Tang Rui closed her eyes.

At first, Wen Xishu didn't notice anything, so he looked around at Tang Rui's living room. But soon, he noticed that things in the living room were starting to change.

The television has been transformed into a giant electronic screen.

The coffee table has been transformed into a control panel.

The curtains in the distance have been replaced by a glass wall.

Without any discomfort, Wen Xishu entered Tang Rui's dream in an instant.

But he couldn't see Tang Rui.

At that moment, Tang Rui's voice appeared in his mind.

"Wen Xishu, now you are me."

Wen Xishu nodded subconsciously.

Soon, the electronic screen lit up.

A girl's voice rang out:

"Hehe, sister, welcome back. Did you kill the taxi driver? So, who's next?"

The girl's voice was sweet, and there was not a trace of hostility towards Tang Rui.

Wen Xishu really couldn't remember whose voice it was.

He was certain that he had never heard that voice before.

The girl's face did not appear on the electronic screen.

Clearly, the girl didn't realize that Tang Rui wasn't the only one who had entered this area.

"I can't remember who this girl is, but she seemed very kind to me. I'm certain that she's neither a relative nor a friend of mine."

"The other party lives in Jiangcheng."

"That's all I know. Next, go to the console, and you'll trigger a... let's call it a mini-game for now."

This is Tang Rui's voice.

Wen Xishu also encountered a person who appeared out of nowhere, who liked to wear blue suits and call him "brother," but he was certain that this person who called Tang Rui "sister" was definitely not a zodiac sign.

Among the zodiac signs, Aquarius is probably the most immature.

But Aquarius's voice is not like that.

Wen Xishu followed Tang Rui's instructions and began operating the control panel.

The moment his hand touched the control panel, text appeared on the electronic screen.

Please select the gender of the created being.

【men and women. 】

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and chose the female option.

At that moment, a girl's mischievous laughter came from the electronic screen:
"Sister, you've finally chosen a girl?"

Wen Xishu ignored the girl's voice.

Because a piece of text appeared on the electronic screen.

The girl was born. On the day she was born, her future family waited at the hospital. When the older generation of her mother-in-law learned that it was another girl, she spat in disgust.

The girl's father was also furious. They already had three girls, so how come the fourth one was also a girl?!

[Please select the girl's father. (Multiple selections possible)]

[1: The girl's father made a fortune when he was young.]

[2: The girl's father is handsome.]

[3: The girl's father is very capable in business negotiations.]

[4: The girl's father was once praised for his masculine qualities.]

[5: The girl's father is a man willing to take on family responsibilities.]

Wen Xishu found it strange.

Tang Rui's sigh echoed in Wen Xishu's mind:

"Wen Xishu, no matter what you choose, it will be a tragedy. But just choose according to your own thoughts."

Wen Xishu said:
What if I don't choose?

Tang Rui said:

“I have to choose, otherwise I will not be able to leave here. The longest I was ever trapped here was fourteen days.”

Wen Xishu understood.

He said:
"I have a pretty good idea of ​​what these options mean."

Wen Xishu chose 1.

At first, his thought was that a family must be rich, right? A family that raises so many daughters must be rich.

This was Wen Xishu's initial idea, but now his idea has changed.

Sure enough, the following prompt appeared after he made his choice:

[Unlocking the girl's father's trait: Gambling addiction.]

[Continue with your selection?]

That's reasonable, very reasonable.

The girl's father had once made a fortune through gambling, which led to his gambling addiction.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and then added another option.

Option 2: The girl's father is handsome. Therefore, the following clue is given:
[Unveiling the girl's father's traits: a chaotic personal life.]

This is just great……

He could already imagine that this girl's future was going to be tough. A father who was a gambler and liked to have affairs with other women...

What kind of good girl can be produced by such a family of origin?

Wen Xishu could roughly guess that the girl's father was good at business negotiations, which was related to his fondness for alcohol. After all... the drinking culture of the Longxia people is thoroughly embodied in drinking.

What about option 4?
Wen Xishu did not continue to choose, but only guessed:

"Manly spirit... could it be domestic violence?"

Option 5, taking on family responsibilities, based on the previous logic, probably doesn't mean truly taking on responsibilities, but rather having a one-man rule and male chauvinism.

"Tsk."

Wen Xishu sensed the malice of this "little game".

He declined to provide further options.

The game then moved on to the next stage.

According to her father's plan, Jiang Zhaonan gained the abilities of Charm and Good Fortune.

[Please select Jiang Zhaonan's childhood experiences (multiple selections allowed).] [Experience 1: She met very loving classmates; everyone always revolved around Jiang Zhaonan.]

[Experience Two: Jiang Zhaonan's teacher paid close attention to her and always showed her extra care.]

[Experience 3: Jiang Zhaonan's sisters always taught her some very useful knowledge.]

[Experience 4: Jiang Zhaonan's grandmother held her in high regard.]

Tang Rui felt a pang of guilt.

Wen Xishu said:
"These options... could they also follow the same logic as before?"

Tang Rui said:

"Yes. You remember that taxi driver, right... His experience was something I created. I did my best to select experiences that seemed positive."

"But after I made my choice, I realized that I had created a monster, and I had given it a very twisted and cruel past."

"There was one option at the time: He earned love through his hard work."

“I chose this one, so his story became that he kept working hard, doing all kinds of physically demanding jobs that exhausted his health, saving up hundreds of thousands of yuan for a bride price, and finally giving it to… a woman in the sex industry.”

"As you can guess, the woman ran off with the money."

"This incident caused great harm to the driver."

Wen Xishu suddenly understood why the taxi driver kept asking Tang Rui: Do you love him? Do you love him?

After combining their efforts and going all in, they transformed from pure-hearted warriors into twisted monsters that specifically hunt down couples.

Tang Rui said:

“Similar things happened twice more; I created a total of three monsters.”

"The conclusion we can draw is that the stronger the monster, the more ordinary people it kills..."

"The more ordinary people I kill, the more twisted and dark the next monster I create will become, and the more terrifying and abnormal its abilities will become."

"The driver has already demonstrated some superpowers."

"This time, you... no, this girl we created together will likely be even more powerful. And she will cause even more harm to the ordinary people of Jiangcheng."

“Although we could easily kill her, I’m trapped in this cycle, and I don’t know how to break free. I can’t stay here forever, and I can’t let myself keep creating monsters…”

"Unless I never return to Jiangcheng."

"As long as I don't enter Jiangcheng, I won't have this strange dream."

“But I always feel that I made a mistake, and that mistake is in Jiangcheng… If I don’t correct this mistake, something terrible will happen in the future.”

Wen Xishu now understood completely.

Tang Rui was... forced to participate in a "villain creation" game.

It has to be said that Tang Rui's exclusive recruitment mission is quite interesting.

But clearly, the emergence of these villains will bring Tang Rui pain.

"On that rainy night when we slaughtered those scoundrels...did we make some mistake?" Tang Rui asked.

Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I don't know, but maybe it really is related to that."

On that rainy night, Wen Xishu and Tang Rui killed everyone who had caused Tang Rui pain. That night, Tang Rui finally said goodbye to the past completely.

Therefore, Tang Rui completed her upgrade and evolution.

Wen Xishu thus achieved level six completion in both the Desire Tower and the Ghost Tower. Logically speaking, his performance was excellent.

He genuinely couldn't recall who was behind the laughter on the electronic screen, and Tang Rui had no recollection of it either.

Why would this person allow Tang Rui to create these villains with tragic pasts?

What is the significance of manufacturing?
These questions have no answers at the moment.

Wen Xishu could only continue "creating villains" for the time being.

Experience 1 and Experience 2...

Wen Xishu has already deciphered it.

In the first experience, all the students revolved around Jiang Zhaonan...

At first glance, it seems like a story of friendship between classmates, but if interpreted from a distorted perspective, it can be quite frightening.

Considering that the campus was involved, the mysterious forces wouldn't allow this choice... Wen Xishu then looked at Experience Two.

The second experience is even worse.

When Wen Xishu looked at the second person, he could feel the disgust in Tang Rui's heart.

Yes, Tang Rui also went through the second experience.

Jiang Zhaonan's teacher always paid close attention to him and showed him extra care. This statement, interpreted from a distorted perspective… made Wen Xishu subconsciously feel sorry for the child.

He can't choose that.

If this choice is made, the child will be traumatized for the rest of their life.

Strangely enough, at this moment, Wen Xishu seemed to be influenced by Tang Rui's mixed feelings and began to take things seriously, no longer simply treating it as a task.

He even felt that this was truly creating a human being with a tragic experience.

This person will actually exist.

So, subconsciously, he tried to choose the least tragic ones.

He sighed:
"It seems we can only choose three or four."

Experience 4: Jiang Zhaonan's grandmother held Jiang Zhaonan in high regard.

Wen Xishu knew that if a girl's name was "Zhao Nan," how much could her grandmother value her?

Being highly valued is probably a euphemism for being beaten with a heavy weapon.

So, should I choose Experience 3?

Wen Xishu frowned.

Experience 3: Jiang Zhaonan's sisters always taught her some very useful knowledge.

"How about... we choose Experience 3?" Tang Rui suggested.

All of those experiences were actually terrible.

Wen Xishu ultimately listened to Tang Rui and chose to go through three trials.

Game simulation begins:
Jiang Zhaonan's sisters often brought various men home, and their intimate encounters frequently caught her eye. She often heard these strange men using extremely vulgar terms to describe her sisters. She felt her sisters were being bullied, but they told her it was their job, their way of surviving.

When Tang Rui saw this deduction, her heart clenched painfully, and a wave of immense regret washed over her.

Her sadness was passed on to Wen Xishu.

She thought these women would at most recount some dark experiences in the workplace, and at most, some negative energy...

But she underestimated the distortion behind these experiences and the malice of the game designers.

Jiang Zhaonan gains the ability "Fusion".

Time flies, and Jiang Zhaonan has quickly reached the age of blossoming beauty. Please choose the final experience. After completing this round of experiences, the Jiangcheng Ghost Stories will begin their revenge on her 'happy' life tomorrow rainy night.

[Experience 1: In Jiang Zhaonan's family, a baby boy was finally born, and the whole family was overjoyed.]

Seeing experience one, it seemed to be the most normal one. Tang Rui subconsciously wanted to choose this one...

This time, Wen Xishu stopped him.

"Tang Rui, although you have experienced darkness, you have been fighting all along the way... and you have also settled accounts with your enemies."

“But deep down you are still very pure. From now on, you don’t need to make a choice, I will.”

"All the choices were none of your business. They were all my choices. If I made the wrong choice, you don't need to feel guilty, understand?"

Once he had completely gotten used to thinking about the essence of the game from a dark perspective, Wen Xishu immediately realized that this experience was one that was completely untouchable.

Jiang Zhaonan's family finally welcomed a baby boy...

Jiang Zhaonan was a graceful young woman at this time, probably around eighteen years old.

So Jiang Zhaonan's mother is most likely unable to have children, right?
Who is this baby boy from?
Thinking hard.

Wen Xishu refused to experience it.

Tang Rui seemed to understand Wen Xishu's inner thoughts through her mixed feelings, and she was grateful that Wen Xishu was willing to share her guilt at this time.

"Okay... then please help me end this nightmare. No matter what you choose, I won't blame you."

The two reached an agreement, and Wen Xishu's mission to save Tang Rui officially began.

He looked at his other experiences.
