Three Towers Game-Chapter 894 - 269: The Way to Leave the World of the Dead (2)

William, Matthew, Evelyn, they are all Elders, but unlike myself, their positions are entirely different.

As for Luo Feng... he is Mr. Jin's most favored ex-associate.

And myself? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Liu Zhizai appreciates Mr. Jin's rescue; through climbing the Slaughter Tower, he understands how his former hometown, Hujiang, outside the Bunker, is now teeming with demons.

Thus, Liu Zhizai is very grateful that Mr. Jin has allowed him to reach his current position.

Yet, deep down, he is terrified of this mysterious man.

This memory ends here.

Within these three segments of memory, there's Mr. Jin's life-saving rescue and Liu Zhizai's inner fear.

For Wen Xishu, the third segment of the memory is even more shocking than the previous two.

"Miyamoto Yishu challenged me, was it because of Mr. Jin?"

Wen Xishu is indeed shocked.

He knew Mr. Jin could transform into others but never expected that Miyamoto Yishu's challenge was orchestrated by Mr. Jin.

Mr. Jin transformed into Liu Zhizai, observed Miyamoto Yishu, and confirmed his qualifications were the kind of genius seen in ordinary people's eyes. Still, without family support, he wasn't excessively rare.

Therefore, Miyamoto Yishu could be sacrificed.

But that's not the point.

The point is, had Mr. Jin already started testing him at that time?

Once you link the Mad Dice and the various connections between Mr. Jin and the Wen Family...

Wen Xishu is convinced that maybe Mr. Jin has been watching him shortly after he crossed over, perhaps even earlier.

But it was previously only observation.

After all, before, the Bunker's protagonist was Wen Chaohua.

But as he continued climbing the tower and changing fate... Mr. Jin gradually moved from observing and noticing to testing.

Wen Xishu indeed finds it too coincidental.

"Delivering the blade happened precisely when I had no Tower Power Value. What is he confirming?"

First, the Tower Power Value was spent in a massive devour, and immediately afterward, someone replenished it.

Thinking this way, Wen Xishu feels that Liu Zhizai, or rather Mr. Jin, is helping him.

So he didn't mind the hatred between himself and Liu Zhizai at the time, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for the Miyamoto Family.

Now he realizes there's an even more complex "peering" involved.

Liu Zhizai, gravely wounded, within Wen Xishu's reflective process after peering into memories, seemed to regain some consciousness.

He seemed to perceive that Wen Xishu had some method to glean certain information about him.

Which also instilled fear in Liu Zhizai.

"I absolutely cannot drag behind; I definitely cannot be the one to hinder Mr. Jin's plans!"

Although Liu Zhizai could not harm Wen Xishu nor escape from him, as a Spiritual Body, he had one last resort.

Liu Zhizai's Spiritual Body, already beyond recognition, suddenly began to turn ethereal.

Wen Xishu vaguely feels that the Qi has begun to intensify, reaching the point where there seemed to be a breeze blowing.

"Self-destruction!"

In the Upper Spirit District, Spiritual Bodies cannot attack one another, and upon reaching the Upper Spirit District, as long as willing to earn Merit, many desires can be fulfilled.

There's no high pressure here; for some Spiritual Bodies, they can distinctly feel what's called "a fate worse than death."

Indeed, some Spiritual Bodies find the world after death to be better than the living world.

Furthermore, self-destruction of a Spiritual Body requires enduring immense pain, which genuinely means to erase oneself from the world.

[Spiritual Bodies in the Lower Spirit District can't even self-harm; they must endure enough pain before returning to the Upper Spirit District. However, once they return to the Upper Spirit District, they often choose not to self-harm anymore. The spiritual bodies of the Upper Spirit District can self-harm, but such cases are indeed rare.]

Text hints appropriately appeared before him.

Wen Xishu wanted to stop Liu Zhizai, but it was all too late.

Wen Xishu didn't expect Mr. Jin's fear implanted deep within Liu Zhizai's soul to frighten Liu Zhizai into never daring to betray Mr. Jin, even unto death.

The Qi from the self-destruction of the Spiritual Body blew by.

In that instant, Wen Xishu saw what even Liu Zhizai hadn't remembered... the scene of death.

He seemed to immerse himself into Liu Zhizai.

That immense pressure pinned Liu Zhizai firmly down.

Liu Zhizai could hardly move.

Then, a formidable Power of Cause and Effect surged forth as if to annihilate space-time.

"Save me! Save me!"

No response. This time, Mr. Jin simply couldn't save Liu Zhizai.

Wen Xishu finds there's not even a trace of Mr. Jin around, and, at that moment, he had already transformed into Mr. Jin's likeness.

He was wearing Mr. Jin's usual clothes, as if to replace him to endure an unbearable fate.

A terrifying arrow came forth.

One of the Five Elders of the Bunker, a strong force from over eighty levels of the Slaughter Tower, perished just like that under an arrow.

The gust of Qi blew across Wen Xishu's face.

Liu Zhizai ceased to exist in the Netherworld, only remaining in the memories of the living.

Wen Xishu feels somewhat emotional, he really hadn't intended to kill Liu Zhizai. Dead, past grudges are cleared. He indeed didn't harbor such deep hatred toward the other to pursue revenge in the Underworld.

Yet he doesn't have much time to mourn this Bunker Elder.

Because as the Qi Body blown from self-destruction of Spiritual Bodies twice...

Wen Xishu seems to have attracted certain attention.

[Regarding your situation, I close zero eyes and open two, but if a Spiritual Body doesn't die by the hand of the Law Enforcer, some strange phenomena will appear next, coupled with the World of the Dead inherently rejecting you. I've said, you will encounter some obstacles. Yet the great Brother Crow is willing to offer you another help, regarding the imminent events, you also open zero eyes and close two, but don't really turn a blind eye, just regard it as unseen.]
