Three Towers Game

”An apple bitten by worms, a dam invaded by ants, an old man abandoned by the Ark, a concept stripped away by the Evil Land fragments...”

”These things seem insignificant at first, but they often have a kind of accumulative effect later on.”

”My desire is very simple, to become the person who can make the Ark better. So, I cannot lose any concept.”

Wen Xishu said:

”Thank you for telling me this.”

Instantly, Wen Xishu’s goodwill towards Horn grew. It’s wonderful to meet someone who explains things logically and also educates you on Ark’s history.

Moreover, Wen Xishu could hear the deeper meaning behind Horn’s words—

The predicament of the Evil Land fragments is very similar to the predicament of the Ark.

The Ark abandoned many people, which ultimately turned the cradle of human civilization into a purgatory for humans.

If too many concepts are abandoned, perhaps each time it seems trivial, but eventually, it turns into a demon, a monster.

Wen Xishu looked at Horn:

”Speaking of which, are you implying... there’s some kind of connection between the Ark and the Evil Land fragments?”

Horn shook his head:

”Just a guess, but there’s no evidence. I often wonder, sacrificing so many people, what is it all for, when only a few years have passed... The Ark’s energy reserves certainly lasted for decades.”

”Moreover, we suddenly entered the Evil Sea, and we were suddenly targeted by a group of eerie Sea Beasts. This always felt a bit strange to me.”

”But right now, we have to escape from this world without the opposite sex, Mr. Wen Xishu. Can I ask you to help me find Judy and Mia next?”

Horn’s thoughts were identical to those of Wen Xishu. He also planned to find Judy and Mia.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought, assuming this is a game... assuming some kind of item could provide key information like ’world inconsistencies’ and ’synchronization ratio’—

What should be done then?

Perhaps this breaking point, or the breaking point for ordinary Tower Climbers, other players—lies in cooperating well with Horn.

”You must have noticed. Once you start resisting, start rejecting this world, and realize this world has lost something and has a huge sense of absurdity, the sky will turn dusky.”

”Something will silently approach you. I think this is the anti-clearing mechanism, which is the final boss.”

”Once your synchronization ratio approaches zero, something will want to get close to you. Maybe it will kill you, maybe it will brainwash you.”

Wen Xishu said:

”So... you want to use Mia and Judy as test subjects? As shields?”

Horn nodded, once again expressing his admiration for Wen Xishu:

”Talking to you is really comfortable. Although I believe you already have a way to bring your synchronization ratio down to zero... but I don’t want you to do that immediately.”

”Know oneself and know the enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles. Mr. Wen Xishu, Judy and Mia are just ordinary people, but you are an Ability User.”

”You have the ability to change everything. Among Judy and Mia, I believe at least one person will be extremely averse to this world, likely to the extent of drawing that thing.”

”If it doesn’t come naturally, we can verbally provoke to help bring it forth. By doing so, we can find out what exactly that thing is.”

”This way, our chances of defeating it will be higher. Although Mia and Judy might die, at least you won’t die.”

”As long as you don’t die, we have hope. If you can defeat that thing... perhaps all the secrets of the Evil Land fragments, the Evil Sea, and the Ark can be uncovered.”

Find the missing pieces, discover the current predicament, identify the present enemy, and devise a battle strategy, find the person to break through, and correlate all the information.

Horn completed all these in one go. The only unfriendly part was that in Horn’s eyes, Judy and Mia seemed merely tools for drawing out the boss and obtaining its data.

They were sacrificial lambs.

”Mr. Wen Xishu, I know where they are, but I don’t have the ability to observe alone.”

”I hope you don’t have a moral dilemma because perhaps one of them has already drawn that thing... If we go late, they might die in vain.”

Moral dilemmas are something Wen Xishu indeed does not have.

He can care deeply for friends, but towards strangers, he maintains a neutral-friendly attitude.

In Hujiang, if he encountered someone pitiful, Wen Xishu wouldn’t mind helping out. But after becoming the Ghost Groom and killing many bystanders... he did not feel particularly guilty.

Because as long as Xiaoxing and Xiaotong were alive, the final result would be better than before he arrived. And that was enough.

This time was no different.

Horn thought Wen Xishu had a moral dilemma... but in fact, Wen Xishu was thinking—this Horn is quite something, it would be great if he could be brought into the Bunker, but unfortunately, it’s not possible.

Wen Xishu pushed Horn’s wheelchair, and he said:

”Are you sure you have emotional deficiencies?”

Horn had a bad premonition:

”You... are you going to do something very drastic?”

Wen Xishu said:

”As you said, Mia and Judy might already be targeted, so we need to hurry.”

Horn was very smart, he instantly understood Wen Xishu’s meaning:

”Alright... since I don’t get seasick, theoretically, I shouldn’t get carsick either.”

Wen Xishu smiled:

”That’s good.”

Blood mist rose, and the terrifying kicking power of the extreme kick erupted in an instant.

One second, Horn was still full of confidence, his handsome face complemented by his golden hair gave him a bit of a noble air.

But the next second, the terrifying force pushed him backward, making Horn instinctively open his mouth. The strong airflow directly knocked over countless bookshelves.

And Wen Xishu and Horn, with one step forward, had already moved far away from the library.
