Three Towers Game

Unlike usual, the facilities Wen Xishu sent were mostly to the second floor. But this time, Wen Xishu sent the prison to the eighth floor — Deceit Tower Academy.

The reason was simple, considering the possibility of prison break, once out it would be Deceit Tower Academy, which would presumably make the prisoners feel warm and welcome.

After doing all this, Wen Xishu asked a question:

”Why have you guides become guides? What is your purpose here? Where does this place originate from?”

This question left the black deceitful head momentarily stunned, and after a brief silence, the black deceitful head said:

”You know what I’m going to say.”

The white desireful head said:

”It’s hard to say.”

The red slaughter head nodded and said:

”Better not say.”

Wen Xishu interrupted the black slaughter head’s chain of speech:

”I’ll change the question; is this place I’m in part of the Land of Obsession?”

The guides of the Three Towers didn’t quite understand why Wen Xishu asked such... origin-based questions today.

”You are acting very strange today,” said the black deceitful head.

Wen Xishu didn’t ask more:

”I will know sooner or later. According to the natural progress, I am about to step into the fiftieth floor, am I not?”

The black deceitful head nodded:

”Indeed, it’s simply lightning speed, reaching the fiftieth floor in a little over three months, truly a unique talent. Will there be tower climbers faster than you in the future? It’s something to look forward to, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash.”

Wen Xishu said:

”If a hundred floors are the limit... the journey is probably halfway done? Although not calculable like this, as the first half is flat and the second half steep.”

”But I gradually realized some things, obsessions can indeed create many things, under the tower’s influence, even the Netherworld’s people are starting to develop a crisis awareness.”

”So I am thinking, perhaps guides are also a part of the Deceit Tower?”

No response.

The three heads were all hunched, appearing somewhat crowded.

Seeing them silent, Wen Xishu did not speak again, his questions were indeed somewhat inexplicable.

However, Wen Xishu actually had reasons for asking like this, because if the guides are obsessions... does that also represent a mission?

Halfway through the journey, Wen Xishu thought, the guides should also tell him some key information.

But seeing the silent three guides, Wen Xishu directly returned.

He was not in a hurry, in the process of tower climbing, he would surely unravel all the puzzles one by one.

...

...

Bunker.

The prison’s exit connects to the ”Memory Record.”

When it suddenly appeared, people were amazed, the students of the Three Towers Academy all looked up, seeing a new building appear in the upside-down world in the sky.

Soon, people realized it was a prison.

They also realized... the prison’s appearance signified something. The legendary Wen Xishu, Dean Wen, once again successfully returned, with a very high completion rating.

But the students had become accustomed to the miracles of Wen Xishu. Now they weren’t even that surprised.

And when students saw a prison appear, their impression of Deceit Tower Academy became instead more... stereotyped.

”I really do... still want to climb the Slaughter Tower.”

”Even prisons appear, what’s this school planning, are they treating us as monsters in the Slaughter Tower? Or as prisoners?”

”Suddenly, William’s perks don’t seem so good anymore...”

This obviously wasn’t everyone’s thought, many felt that a prison in Deceit Tower Academy was just fine.

Those students who wanted to join Deceit Tower Academy felt like this:

”Wow, the academy even has a prison, learning as a prisoner, this is very Deceit Tower.”

”Previously, those who climbed the Deceit Tower were death row prisoners, having a prison in our Deceit Tower Academy is reasonable, when the time comes, the death row prisoners will attend lectures with us, sharing insights, perfect.”

”Makes sense, I wish my dorm had a prison style, just think it would be quite fun.”

”Next to it is that building that drives people mad, with the two buildings connected, I love it.”

”I can’t wait for classes to start!”

It must be said, William Hawker’s perks were delivered well, and among the recruited students, quite a number indeed had the capability to climb the Deceit Tower, possessing that inherent eccentricity.

For example, the last time, someone was scared by Tang Rui and vowed to become Tang Rui’s dog.

Overall, in the Deceit Tower Academy, there was a significant number of folks with abnormal mental states.

This was related to the academy’s unique assessment mechanism.

Slaughter Tower Academy focused on testing whether people had the concept of defending the country, while Desire Tower Academy assessed for kindness.

But Deceit Tower Academy tested whether one had curiosity instincts, eccentric temperaments, or masochistic tendencies, these were all extra credits.

The total number of admissions was below expectations, yet it was completed smoothly.

Now, the first batch of new students from Deceit Tower Academy had all been recruited, waiting for ”teachers” to start classes.

...

...

The students were eagerly discussing Deceit Tower Academy.

However, the dean of Deceit Tower Academy, Wen Xishu, was not currently at Deceit Tower Academy.

As the focal point of the discussion, he was in the Garden Forbidden Land of Desire Tower Academy.

Still the same, Evelyn, the principal, Xun Hui, Wenren Mirror.

The reason Wen Xishu had called on people other than the principal was in hopes that they could also participate in the voting, for he was clear that the principal would soon make a decision.

”How is Xiaojin doing?” Wen Xishu asked.

”Still recovering memories, the efforts over these years have not been in vain, Xiaojin’s fundamental essence has already changed, I believe in some time, Xiaojin will still be our friend,” Evelyn said.
