Three Towers Game

Chapter 400 Flowers and Trees in Another World

The break ended quickly. The room door opened again.

The Wenxi Trees all know that the second round of the game has begun. The world actually has dimensions, and for the Wenxi Trees who possess superpowers, going to ordinary worlds with low or no superpowers is like reducing their dimension.

Although everyone knew that the mission was about to be the most difficult experience I would ever have in my next life, many of Wen Xishu didn't care.

001 is one of them.

The bunker in 046, named Wenxi Tree, is one of them.

Soon, Wen Xishu from Blue Star 045, filled with trepidation, walked to the door:
"I must survive... I don't want to lose everything so soon."

Wen Xishu, on the other hand, started the process first and headed to the world behind the door.

……

……

Universe 046.

Wen Xishu, from Blue Star 045, came to this universe for the first time.

The scene that came into his view at that moment was a dense array of talismans.

"I should keep making eye contact with him... Where am I?"

045 Lan Xing Wen Xishu found himself in a closed room, covered with many talismans. The talismans completely sealed off the windows and other surfaces.

This place looks like a scene from a Japanese horror movie.

Wen Xishu took a deep breath and began searching for clues.

"The me in that universe... was a master at solving bizarre puzzles. It's okay, I can do it too. He started from scratch, so can I!"

He quickly found the clue in the study.

In a book called "Night Parade of One Hundred Monsters", Wen Xishu found a note with some information written on it.

"I can't not open the door... I'll die if I don't open the door."

“I don’t know who you are, but since you’re staying at my house, listen to a few pieces of advice I have.”

Gradually, amidst a series of rules, Wen Xishu's expression grew increasingly solemn.

He realized that this was a world where monsters would surround you at night.

"So... this is the most difficult mission in his subjective opinion? I'd better handle this well..."

Yes, in Wen Xishu's subjective impression, although there were many difficult tasks later, the night on Kashima Island with its high altitude, high humidity, and minimalism was always the most terrifying night for Wen Xishu.

Of course, the actual difficulty wasn't that high. It was just that the "Minimalist" option, which was like a dice roll in a frenzy, made Wen Xishu feel uncertain, so he always felt like he was challenging a level above his own, and this mindset created his subjective feeling.

045 Wen Xishu, being transferred to this universe is clearly unfortunate.

But in fact, experiencing this challenge was actually a stroke of luck.

Because Wen Xishu at that time, influenced by minimalism, was almost like him, lacking any other abilities.

He kept one sentence firmly in mind:

"Don't be afraid of the eerie, don't let fear affect my performance."

Even so, experiencing this terror firsthand, he was still trembling slightly.

……

……

Universe 005.

The buildings crisscrossed and suspended in the air. Using the tools at hand, 001 quickly found a path in this highly developed, futuristic cyber city.

"Holy crap, man, a retro bionic outfit? That's some money!"

A mechanical life form with a design quite similar to Bumblebee stared at 001 Wen Xishu with eyes that could not make any expressions, but could project surprised expressions.

"No... what's going on? This isn't a bionic suit, how can I detect that this is flesh and blood?"

"Come and see! Look! Flesh and blood have appeared in this city!"

A large group of mechanical lifeforms began to surround 001.

"Wow, this heart must be worth a fortune! There's no mistake, it's not one of those pre-made humans that are developed over a few years using cloning technology and a cultivation chamber! This guy is real!"

"A rare find. I'm going to skin him and use the skin to buy the newest prosthetic eye!"

A group of mechanical lifeforms started to jeer.

This is like a woman with no defenses and no background walking down the streets of India, and she is a beautiful woman exuding a strong feminine aura.

To a group of mechanical life forms, 001, an absolute being of flesh and blood, is so weak...and so alluring.

001 Wen Xishu also sensed the malice of these mechanical lifeforms.

"It's really noisy."

A series of explosions and roars rang out.

In the blink of an eye, a series of mechanical lifeforms were all turned into scrap metal. A huge ditch appeared on the street piled with metal junk.

Not a speck of dust had gotten on him. He held a compass and looked in one direction.

Along the way, 001 was like a walking piece of gold.

But no mechanical life form can get close to him.

What 001 is looking for is the wise man mentioned by 005. Although they are not from the same universe, 001 always feels that perhaps some things are interconnected.

……

……

Universe 045.

Wen Xishu, who had thought she could experience a cozy life... opened her eyes only to find herself chained up.

This is in an abandoned factory, quite far from the city.

Wen Xishu sat in the chair, somewhat speechless.

"So, he had this experience. It's a bit like the story of the An brothers."

Since it was the most difficult mission I'd ever undertaken, it must have left a deep impression on me. Wen Xishu had to admit that if an ordinary person experienced a kidnapping, the feeling would probably be like the sky had fallen.

Soon, Wen Xishu also deduced a certain possibility.

In this world, Wen Chaohua appears to be an exceptionally capable police officer, having solved numerous cases. However, she has also offended many criminal groups.

In fact, no world in which Wenxi Tree exists is simple.

There is no apocalypse here, but there is a lot of crime.

The safety here might be a little better than in Gotham City, but it's certainly not much better.

As Wen Chaohua's younger brother, it's possible that Wen Xishu was being targeted.

Wen Xishu's speculation was correct.

In this experience, Wen Xishu almost died because the gang that kidnapped him was after revenge against Wen Chaohua and wanted to torture her. They wanted to make Wen Chaohua experience a series of hardships, but in the end, she found that her efforts were in vain and she watched her younger brother die.

Evil intentions.

This is indeed the most dangerous thing an ordinary person can experience in a world without superpowers.

If Wen Chaohua hadn't predicted the location beforehand, and if Wen Xishu hadn't been such a chatterbox, constantly fabricating Wen Chaohua's weaknesses to buy time...

Wen Xishu was indeed killed.

Even so, at the moment of being truly saved, Wen Xishu of Blue Star 045 fell seriously ill and realized the hardships her brother had endured.

But this time...

The plot has clearly taken a different turn.

Seeing that these robbers weren't even wearing hoods, Wen Xishu immediately became certain that they were a group of desperados who weren't thinking about long-term development, didn't care if their appearance was seen, and specialized in one-off deals.

There were about a dozen robbers, all armed, clearly a group of ruthless bandits.

If he were caught, he would most likely die. It has to be said that Wen Xishu (045) must have used every trick in the book to survive.

Fortunately, he only needs to make a slight move.

Just then, a slightly hunched, but sinister-looking, middle-aged man with a buzz cut among the robbers spoke:

"One last phone call, to give him a glimmer of hope."

The burly man quickly took out an old-fashioned brick-like mobile phone and brought it close to Wen Xishu's ear.

"Next, call your brother. You'd better know what to say, right?"

Wen Xishu nodded, feigning fear.

Historically, Wen Chaohua had already arrived at this time and was on her way.

The robbers clearly underestimated Wen Chaohua's tracking ability.

The call connected quickly, and Wen Xishu heard the voice on the other end:
"Little Tree, don't be afraid. I'll come and rescue you tomorrow once I've prepared the ransom."

Clearly, Wen Chaohua on the other end of the phone was also deceiving the robbers. Neither of these brothers was innocent.

At this moment, Wen Xishu, who was originally 045, simply said "okay" before the burly man took the phone away.

But at this moment, it is 046 Wen Xishu. Wen Xishu said:
"Don't worry, bro, I've taken care of them. Don't worry about me, take your time. I'm not in a hurry."

The phone should have been moved the moment the first word was uttered, and then, as per the script, the robbers would have made threats...

But suddenly, a hand grabbed the burly man's hand.

Wen Xishu finished saying that sentence.

Wen Chaohua on the other end of the phone was stunned.

Suddenly, the robbers, who were stunned to see a dark figure, a strange, shadow-like presence, reach out and pin down the burly man, were taken aback.

"Little Tree...are you alright? What are you saying?"

On the other end of the phone, Wen Chaohua sensed something was wrong. What was Xiaoshu doing?
Wen Chaohua found it increasingly strange and quickened her pace toward her destination.

Gunshots soon rang out in the abandoned factory.

The gunshot also alerted Wen Chaohua, who was approaching.

Wen Chaohua's heart skipped a beat.

He thought of a possibility, and his eyes instantly reddened, filled with angry bloodshot veins.

Xiao Shu probably guessed that he was going to die... so he deliberately acted cool and said those words at the end to avoid going with him?

Does the gunshot mean these guys killed the hostage?

This possibility filled Wen Chaohua with fear; at that moment, he wished he could teleport.

Driven by fear, Wen Chaohua led her henchmen frantically toward the factory.

And what about the factory? Fear wasn't the only thing gripping them.

When all the robbers lay on the ground, when that shadow, like a ghost, instantly took them all down...

They all stared wide-eyed in horror, their eyes radiating a beauty born from the subversion of their understanding.

Wen Xishu didn't tie them up; he simply used his eyes to intimidate them.
"Don't move, or you'll get hit."

At first, a few robbers tried to fight back, pulling out concealed pistols.

But when they saw the bullet bounce back along its trajectory and kill the shooter, the other robbers finally accepted the reality that there are cheat codes in this world.

They all gave up resisting, their hearts filled with immense fear, feeling as if it were all a nightmare.

I have a feeling that Wen Chaohua set me up.

That damn Wen Chaohua, your brother is Superman, so why the hell are you a SWAT officer?
finally……

Wen Chaohua arrived with several elite subordinates.

Wen Chaohua originally thought there would be a fierce battle. Although she had rushed over frantically, she immediately switched to stealth when she got close, preparing to catch the robbers off guard.

But as they approached, they heard Wen Xishu's powerful voice coming from the factory not far away:

"Brother, I'm fine, don't worry. I've taken care of all the robbers. Just come over here."

This turn of events caught Wen Chaohua completely off guard. She even thought it was some kind of prank or conspiracy.

But when they used the telescope and clearly saw the scene inside, they felt like their brains had short-circuited.

"This... Captain Wen, your brother is a Wolf Warrior?"

The SWAT officer handed the binoculars to Wen Chaohua. Wen Chaohua initially looked surprised, unable to understand what kind of script this was. But soon, his expression became complicated.

They recognized all the criminals. Some they had even dealt with more than once.

It's not a prank...

His younger brother had indeed been kidnapped.

But it's not a conspiracy either...

These dozen or so heavily armed thugs were actually subdued by Xiaoshu alone.

Who is kidnapping whom?
The situation was so absurd that none of the special police officers knew what had happened.

They remained vigilant until one by one they pointed their guns at the heads of the robbers who had given up resistance... only then did they truly accept the reality.

Wen Xishu shrugged:

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

Wen Chaohua said:
"Come with me to the corner, I have something to tell you."

Wen Xishu had actually completed his mission.

He even received such a notification.

[You have successfully completed what you have subjectively perceived as the most difficult challenge in Universe 045. You will have sixty minutes to explore freely. After sixty minutes, you will return to the rest area.]

This mission was easy, and Wen Xishu couldn't do anything about it, because even if he deliberately sought out difficult tasks...

Given the power system of this world, it's really not that difficult.

Wen Chaohua quickly led Wen Xishu to a corner of the abandoned factory.

He looked at Wen Xishu with a strange expression and said something that surprised Wen Xishu:
"You're not Little Tree... right?"

Wen Xishu was genuinely surprised:

“You…no, I am Xiaoshu, brother, why are you saying such things?”

“Because that’s not how we address each other. Xiaoshu has also said that he longs to adventure in those supernatural worlds, and he often plays horror puzzle games. He firmly believes that one day, something very strange will happen to him,” Wen Chaohua said.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Brother, I'm obviously just making this up, how can you believe me?"

Wen Chaohua answered decisively:
“Some things are absurd, but if he says them, I will believe them.”

At this moment, Wen Xishu (046) and Wen Chaohua (045) locked eyes.

In that instant, Wen Xishu suddenly had some memories flooding his mind.

"Brother, do you believe I will one day create a miracle?"

"Of course I do."

"If I told you that the global spiritual energy is reviving and strange phenomena are occurring, and that I will awaken a cheat ability in the future, would you believe me?"

"Others might not believe it, but I will, which is one of my advantages. You'd better protect me."

"Damn, bro, you actually believe that?"

"Ah, since it was you who said it, I will seriously consider its feasibility. The older brother trusts the younger brother, that's an advantage."

This memory flashed by.

Wen Xishu suddenly paused for a moment.

So there really are brothers like this in this world.

There are those who clearly believe in science and materialism, but when you say certain nonsense, even if it's absurd, childish, or contradicts some of their beliefs, they will still choose to believe it.

"Little Tree... will he come back?" Wen Chaohua looked at Wen Xishu's somewhat surprised expression and became even more certain of her guess.

Looking at those gazes, Wen Xishu wondered if the fool within her was starting to overreact... She felt a tightness in her chest.

He snapped out of the ease of that overwhelming attack and suddenly remembered that the essence of this game was... to eliminate "us".

Yes, the easier one's own task is, the more difficult the other's task will seem.

This is an incredibly cruel game.

Looking at Wen Chaohua's concerned and flustered eyes, Wen Xishu suddenly couldn't bear to tell Wen Chaohua the answer.

……

……

Universe 005.

When 001 finally arrived before the wise man, all the mechanical life forms around him went on alert.

Only the wise man appeared quite calm.

The wise man has a very special appearance; he is a giant crystal ball.

Among countless mechanical beings, the crystal ball, a product seemingly from a magical world, appears quite strange.

The wise man spoke:
"Stop arming. He is not the enemy. If he were the enemy, you would be dead. He is already riddled with wounds; he simply longs for an answer."

001 Wen Xishu was slightly moved:
"You knew I was coming? You knew who I was?"

The crystal ball emitted countless rays of light, cutting through the surrounding space and forming a special area.

"You and I are not from the same world; we exist in different times and spaces. But perhaps, the problems that you cannot solve in your world can be solved in my world."

001 Wen Xishu was somewhat surprised:
"How do you know we exist in different times and spaces? Just because I am made of flesh and blood?"

The wise man, like a crystal ball, shimmered once more.

It gave the following answer:
"Of the twelve divine machines, I am the one used to detect time. My code name is Pisces."

"You probably don't have much time left. You've come to me, so you must have some questions to ask."
