Three Towers Game

”Britney has lost control again. This time there are no children involved, but it seems her temperament has changed. She has become less compliant, more rebellious, which, of course, enhances the show’s entertainment value.”

”The unruly Britney amuses some viewers; they even suggest setting up a group to predict Britney’s next actions.”

”Britney’s life needs some excitement. She has had it too smooth, perhaps we need some tragedy to befall her.”

The following are repeated descriptions in the files of Britney not following the script and becoming rebellious.

These descriptions did not arouse suspicion among the Good People; after all, children tend to become rebellious at a certain age.

In fact, if Wen Xishu hadn’t interacted with Chris and Zhou Fei, merely looking at this file, it would be hard to imagine...

The key point of the file is the child.

He might have also overlooked the child, instinctively not realizing the commonality between the three lies with the child.

But now Wen Xishu would not.

Chris’s invasive war was for a child.

Zhou Fei’s strange experiences began because he saw a child.

And Longxia, during the apocalypse, was also protecting a child. The Free State behind Chris was also trying to kill that child.

Now, the child has appeared again, in the meticulously arranged live set where Britney was a few years ago.

All of this is, naturally, no coincidence.

”Who are you? How do you know this?”

Britney also wrote down her question on paper.

”If you still remember, that child who revealed the truth to you, that would be great, Britney. Now, two more like you, who tried to uncover the truth of the world and were once helped by that child, have appeared in this Good People Hall.”

”They hope to escape from here, and we need your help.”

After writing this, Wen Xishu immediately began switching again.

He wanted to give Britney time to react.

As for Chris and Zhou Fei, under Wen Xishu’s guidance, they avoided crowds as much as possible, heading toward the classroom.

The classroom contained a mushroom from the Scorpio Knife’s creation ”Great Tribute.” Eating that mushroom would grant power.

Both were now in white lab coats; Zhou Fei’s seemed too large, while Chris’s was a bit too tight.

But overall, they did not draw much attention.

Even if they occasionally appeared in the sight of some patients.

Wen Xishu now faced several choices.

Should he have Chris eat the mushroom and break through violently?

Or should he start with Britney, trying to create some sensation, drawing attention, and then quietly leave?

Just as Wen Xishu was contemplating his actions, alarms started to blare.

Both the Moderate Illness Area and the severe cases started sounding alarms.

Wen Xishu first switched to Britney.

He wanted to see Britney’s response.

Britney did not disappoint Wen Xishu.

”What do you need me to do?”

Seeing this sentence, Wen Xishu immediately confirmed that Britney was aware of her situation. He quickly wrote:

”If we force our way through now, is it possible? We have strong combat abilities.”

Wen Xishu wanted to hear Britney’s judgment.

Then, to ensure efficiency, he wrote:

”If not, we need a safe place. We have reached the Mild Illness Area but don’t know where it would be easier to hide.”

Actually, if not possible, and if the Mild Illness Area didn’t have a safe spot, Wen Xishu had thought of a backup plan. But he wanted to see if this Benevolent, Britney, had any other means.

Wen Xishu switched to Chris.

Zhou Fei asked a question at this moment:

”Wen Xishu... If we leave here, wouldn’t this world already be filled with monsters?”

Chris nodded.

The light in Zhou Fei’s eyes dimmed:

”My parents and relatives are all dead... turned into the Good People. Where can I go? What should I do after escaping?”

Wen Xishu said:

”Don’t think too much about it now; just focus on getting out. This world still has a place where humans can survive.”

Zhou Fei said:

”If we hide in those places... can I still get revenge?”

Though it was merely an obsession, Wen Xishu aimed for perfection, hoping to resolve problems as neatly as possible.

Zhou Fei’s current dejection could become a disadvantageous factor.

After some thought, Wen Xishu said:

”You know nothing about the outside world, and you already know that the place you live is filled with monsters. To be honest, I understand your sense of helplessness.”

”Taking on the whole world, how difficult it is.”

”But Zhou Fei, your situation isn’t the worst.”

”This world, there are many entities more powerful than the Good People. These entities can be won over. I have a friend, even worse off than you; his legs are disabled, in a wheelchair, and he doesn’t possess your special abilities.”

”He can’t see the rules, can’t alter them, and when faced with danger, can’t diffuse it as if waking from a big dream. From the neck down, his abilities are far inferior to yours.”

”But even so, in an environment more oppressive than Magic City, in one that squeezes humanity no less than Magic City, he has founded his own force, and he might even, in the future, contend against those entities exponentially more potent than the Good People.”
