Three Towers Game

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:

”Their appearance, voice, all stuck in the year of the fire disaster. Of course, the video might be unreliable, but the voice hasn’t changed at all over the years—it seems unrealistic.”

Actually, voices can remain unchanged over many years, but at this moment, the calmer and more composed Wen Xishu appeared while giving reasons, the more persuasive he was.

In times like this, people’s ability to reason is weak; as long as you provide a seemingly plausible explanation and appear calm and confident, everyone can be fooled.

”I can take responsibility for my words, and I hope everyone trusts me. I have no reason to harm you, after all, if there’s another wronged soul… no, two wronged souls, we’ll be annihilated.”

Yes, there are two people at the door.

Not just one person.

Chen Ming thought for a while and said:

”I agree with Teacher Wen’s statement.”

Xiaoya also said:

”I agree too.”

The rational persona portrayed by Wen Xishu held up in front of everyone, which led them to trust him.

Even Zhang Qiang, who found Wen Xishu quite annoying, still held onto the red wine glass.

”You ungrateful child! You rotten seed! You will die a horrible death! Die a horrible death!”

”Do you want to kill us again?!”

Everyone raised their glasses. The vicious curses did not cause Wen Xishu to change in the slightest.

Suddenly, the woman outside cried:

”Little Tree, let mom in… can we reconcile? Mom and dad know they were wrong, we’re sorry!”

Crying and wailing instantly replaced curses. This actually stirred Wen Xishu a little, but really just… a tiny bit.

Wen Xishu smiled faintly and drank the red wine.

Upon drinking the red wine again, what he saw was still the scene of that fire disaster years ago…

But gradually, the scene began to flicker, gradually transforming into the image of himself now, walking into prison alone with shackles.

That was ”the fool.” For the fool, the loneliest and most terrifying day was when his brother was declared guilty and he himself was locked up in prison.

”Let the past be past, I have no interest in being that Little Tree from before. The current me is Wen Xishu, the legend of the Bunker, Wen Chaohua’s brother, the companion of the old principal.”

”From now on, my pain shall be completely forgotten, your pain shall be mine.”

He silently thought this to himself; this was said to that fool, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded, like a red wound shedding, revealing new skin.

In fact, he had long stopped caring about those pains. Wen Xishu even thought, perhaps one day when he sees Tang Rui again, they could laugh and joke about those unbearable past experiences.

Everyone at this moment also drank the red wine.

The sound outside the door paused, those two ghosts seemed to realize they couldn’t entice the people inside the door, they were about to die. So in the end, they left a vicious curse:

”A child like you will never find happiness.”

This sentence inexplicably made Xiaoya, the nurse, feel a bit sad as she looked at Wen Xishu, yet Wen Xishu remained as if nothing happened.

At that moment, she felt that Teacher Wen might not be a teacher, his heart was too strong. From facing everyone’s doubts initially, to his parents appearing and saying how rebellious he was…

To the final curse from his parents, he remained calm, without even a momentary feeling of pain.

Wen Xishu said:

”Thank you all for your trust, we successfully dodged a round, my story is over. As you all saw, it seems every ghost, or person, is related to us.”

”Everyone has a past, but how to face the past is clearly worth our consideration.”

”Xiaoya, Li Wei, and I have already finished. Next, it’s Ah Fei, Old Zhou, Zhang Qiang, Dr. Chen.”

Wen Xishu looked at Zhang Qiang again:

”Do you still refuse to reveal what you did at the dock?”

”Zhang Qiang, do you think the ghosts will let you go? If I were you, I wouldn’t implicate Xiaoya.”

Verbal persuasion is meaningless to villains like Zhang Qiang,

Zhang Qiang said:

”I didn’t get caught by a Water Ghost for a replacement. Don’t fucking talk to me about those things.”

Xiaoya’s expression changed again. Wen Xishu could feel the damp hatred coming from behind.

Digging into Zhang Qiang’s past is necessary, otherwise, Xiaoya would turn into a ghost; would there be new assimilations, would there be a massacre… it’s all unknown.

Wen Xishu’s current strategy is to let those who are willing to repent survive, and those who refuse to repent let the hostile ghosts take revenge for their grievances.

He suddenly regretted why he had elevated the sequence of repentance.

But on deeper thought, there’s no Three Phases this time, even with an elevated sequence of repentance, it can’t be effective.

Moreover, Zhang Qiang is truly a difficult person to deal with. Because his reactions after drinking the red wine are all very composed.

When someone is ruthless enough, they have no weak points. Moral condemnation? It’s meaningless; even pressure may not work.

”Still missing a key piece of information…”

Throughout the game, Wen Xishu aimed at everyone’s reaction, he already had a rough speculation.

Why is everyone at the bar, what happened on Desire Tower this day, why is it on Ghost Festival? Why does everyone have guilt.

With one key piece of information missing, Wen Xishu could piece together the entire truth.

The confrontation with Zhang Qiang soon ended because the knocking began again.

Old Zhou fearfully hugged his head, as if sensing that his turn was coming soon.

Evidently, he too is harboring an evil past.

But soon, Old Zhou raised his head and looked at Ah Fei.

Because at this moment, Ah Fei with the face of clay said suddenly:

”It’s my turn… it’s my turn…”

Bang, bang.

The interval between the two knocks was somewhat long, indicating the person knocking might be somewhat stiff.

But definitely can’t judge whether the other is a ghost with such a simplistic method.

The person outside didn’t speak, but Ah Fei trembled and said:

”It’s here for me… it’s here for me!”

Wen Xishu looked at Ah Fei’s computer.

He froze for a moment.

The computer screen wasn’t showing the surveillance footage of the bar’s entrance; instead, it was a girl in a maid outfit, white knee-high socks with rabbit ears dancing.

The girl’s face had a stiff smile.

”Thank you for your reward.”

After finishing the dance, she actually began to undress, and at that moment, Father Old Zhou’s eyes became fixed, while Zhang Qiang gave a playful smile.

Ah Fei’s heart sank to the bottom, he shook his head frantically:

”I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please don’t kill me!”

The naked body was presented before everyone’s eyes.

Wen Xishu frowned secretly, while Xiaoya turned away.

Chen Ming didn’t look at this, he continued to sit on his chair, tapping his fingers on his knee.

Bang, bang.

Again, the same slow interval of two knocks on the door.

The laptop screen changed again to a girl squatting on a toilet, she was obviously using the bathroom.

She suddenly raised her head, looking towards a certain place, with a puzzled expression, then revealed a somewhat frightened expression, completely at a loss.

Bang, bang.

The screen changed again, the girl meeting with a chubby uncle at a hotel, and the uncle suddenly began to show a greasy and disgusting smile.

At that moment, the girl was utterly in despair, but she looked towards the direction of the camera.

Then, the computer screen began to flicker, showing the girl’s stiff smiling face:

”Thank you for your reward.”

”Thank you for your reward.”

”Thank you… thank you… thank you…”

This voice began to cycle endlessly, like a deathly curse, until the end, the words ”thank you” had already taken on a somewhat venomous meaning, causing Ah Fei to fall from his chair in fright.

Wen Xishu realized that this voice seemed to have some sort of spiritual invasion capability towards Ah Fei, he quickly shut the computer.

Wen Xishu looked sternly at Ah Fei:

”If you don’t want to die, just honestly tell me what happened between you and this girl in the past?”

Ah Fei held his head; at first, he was unwilling to speak.

But Wen Xishu said:

”If you don’t want to speak, then I can only assume you are no different from Li Wei, with no intention of repentance. I will persuade everyone, let them allow whoever is outside, or ghosts to come inside, you guess…”

”But before that, I will use violence to make your past known, don’t forget, I have consistently, through methods, uncovered Xiaoya and Li Wei’s past. Do you think you can escape?”

”Guess, once all procedures are aligned, if a ghost comes inside, will it immediately kill you?”

Ah Fei was so frightened he was about to collapse, tears and snot flowed out at once:

”I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!! I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

Bang, bang.

The knock came again.

The closed computer somehow opened again.
