Three Towers Game

Chapter 603: Chapter 177 The Mystery of the Human Cave Unraveled_5

The multicolored light shone on Wen Xishu, making him feel...something inside his body was being restored.

Those entities that had already been killed began to slowly resurrect.

”Big brother, we meet again... You are really amazing, I didn’t expect you to use such a method to escape from the human hole.”

The boy’s voice appeared again.

He was obviously filled with surprise and joy. His spotlessly white kimono gave him an ethereal quality.

”Ah, we meet again. You see, I told you, I’ve faced many situations in my life where survival seemed impossible. But I always survive,” Wen Xishu said with a smile.

The boy nodded:

”Big brother, you are amazing. This is the misfortune you have collected.”

The boy handed over a bottle with a scale on it.

It was a cylindrical glass bottle.

Its scales were labeled: Sorrow, Pain, Unattainable, World-weariness, and Unforgiving Reincarnation.

Apparently, Wen Xishu had only collected a small amount of misfortune. The black liquid in the bottle was a little above Sorrow but not yet reaching Pain.

Wen Xishu was very curious about who this child was.

”Who exactly are you? What do you need the collected misfortune for?”

The boy shook his head:

”I’m sorry... I really don’t remember. Big brother, leave here. A person like you dying would be this world’s regret.”

”Don’t explore other human holes.”

Wen Xishu said:

”Do I need to go deep into other human holes to collect all the misfortune? Collect up to Unforgiving Reincarnation?”

The boy truly did not want Wen Xishu to risk his life by going to other human holes.

But faced with Wen Xishu’s question, he still honestly replied:

”Yes, big brother, you need to keep collecting misfortune from the human holes... It’s a kind of balance.”

Wen Xishu still wanted to ask more, but the boy said:

”Go now... big brother, go back through this tunnel. You have already completed your task. After coming out of the human hole, you will be temporarily rejected by the human hole village.”

”Don’t explore too many human holes. You should know, you can rely on luck once, but what about two or three times?”

...

...

The boy disappeared again. Wen Xishu, of course, did not complete his task.

He pondered the boy’s final words and soon had an idea.

”He must be hinting that I should not explore each hole individually, but find the most crucial human hole.”

”If I were to experience every human hole one by one, seven days wouldn’t be enough.”

Wen Xishu suddenly remembered that he should ask a very important question.

”I lived through someone’s entire life in the human hole... so how much time passed outside the human hole?”

He walked towards the outside of the tunnel. This time, he crossed it not to enter a human hole but to return to Hujiang.

At the moment he crossed the tunnel, Wen Xishu even felt a sense of disorientation.

”Am I really Wen Xishu? Or am I actually Yoshida Koki... but I had a dream that I was Wen Xishu?”

Is it Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?

This moment of confusion made Wen Xishu realize... the harm the human hole inflicted on him.

The ultra-immersive sensation of not knowing who you are, once broken, caused him to start experiencing slight withdrawal symptoms.

Feeling the light from outside, Wen Xishu patted his face:

”If I experience this a few more times... I might really go mad.”

He finally returned to the real world once more.

Back to the special area of Hujiang, the human hole village.

At this moment, Wen Xishu heard a familiar voice.

Virtual 04 exclaimed:

”My God! Warrior, you really did it! You dismantled a human hole!”

”Oh my... the Director was right! Warrior, you truly are the chosen one!”

In the floating ruins in the sky, Virtual 04 had been observing the human hole on the ground.

She originally saw Wen Xishu enter a human hole, and at the same time, another human hole appeared.

That human hole was Wen Xishu’s human hole.

But soon, the human hole belonging to Wen Xishu remained... while the other human hole that Wen Xishu had initially entered disappeared.

Virtual 04 cut her Fukube with a small knife again, as if trying to pull her intestines out for people to see.

In intense pain, Virtual 04 opened a portal.

”What’s that bottle in your hand?”

Wen Xishu said:

”First, transport me back to the auction. I think I should be able to see your Director now?”

Virtual 04 nodded:

”You are the first person to truly survive from a human hole. You absolutely have the right to meet our Director.”

In Wen Xishu’s opinion, the Director was most likely a Collapse Practitioner.

Only a Collapse Practitioner would know about the so-called ”warriors.”

But strangely, Wen Xishu had never seen a Collapse Practitioner in Deceit Tower.

Logically, Collapse Practitioners should be cycling within the timeline of Desire Tower.

Therefore, Wen Xishu was very curious about the Director of the Pain Auction.

Coincidentally, he had done something truly unprecedented and thus gained the qualification to meet the Director.

Virtual 04 said:

”Let’s go, I’ll take you out of the human hole village first.”

(There’s another gathering tomorrow...so I’m sending this out early. But it’s a gathering of the younger generation, so it shouldn’t be too troublesome. Let me check it out. If there’s any more dramatic development, I’ll update at the end of each Chapter!)
