Three Towers Game
Chapter 1048 - 320: Wen Xishu’s "Soldiers’ Ghostly Tactics" (Part 2)
But Wen Xishu always wanted to experience this kind of scene.
Suddenly, he pushed Ah Fei away:
"Everyone, please wait."
Ah Fei was confused:
"It's useless, it can't be shut down! I've watched a movie! What's it called, Midnight Horror, let's hurry and drink, Teacher Wen!"
Midnight Horror, probably corresponds to the Midnight Bell from his past life?
Ah Fei might already be picturing the scenario where a female ghost crawls out from the notebook, which indeed seems possible. The computer that won't shut down might just be preparing for this moment.
But if it can't be shut down, then leave it.
Wen Xishu just wanted to try if he could operate the computer. He's always lacked a breakthrough point.
Recently, as Wen Xishu drank red wine, he thought about how ghosts might use wine to access his past.
That is to say, there's a strong ghost outside the door, it's the one orchestrating this situation. This ghost may have a connection with someone inside the door.
The ghost outside could infiltrate abilities in, turning into some sort of bar rule.
Then what about the other ghosts? If the abilities of other ghosts are used well, can new rules be constructed?
Such as at this moment.
Wen Xishu said:
"Everyone inside the door refuses to let you in. They all think you deserve it, being assaulted, isn't it because you're cheap?"
"So pretentious, working in an industry for quick money and still wanting to be pure and unstained?"
Xiaoya shook her head, she couldn't believe Teacher Wen would say such things.
These words weren't Wen Xishu's true intention, merely a strategy to provoke the ghost outside the door.
"Each of us refuses to let you in. Aren't you capable of surveillance? Have you seen Zhang Qiang? His hand was even prepared to drink the red wine."
"You'll die, when you become human you can only die disgracefully, but even as a ghost, you'll still die. Truly a pitiful and cheap thing."
Wen Xishu used every ounce of his sarcasm to mock the ghost outside, Ah Fei shook his head and said:
"It's not like that! It's not true! She's actually very pitiable!"
Wen Xishu glanced at Ah Fei.
But it didn't matter, his provocation had already taken effect.
Wen Xishu operated the computer, and when he pressed rewind, he found that the surveillance had changed.
The footage changed to his own scene.
The time of the footage was still the time of the future, with four wronged souls in the room, everyone would die, others were already dead...
Wen Xishu was tormented by the four wronged souls.
Wen Xishu didn't care about the footage, he wasn't interested in "future" surveillance because even Pisces couldn't anchor his future.
What he cared about was the unchangeable past.
Wen Xishu continued to rewind, sure enough... the footage started showing the past.
A part of his past was in Evil Land, it ended soon.
But after it ended, there was still the past of others.
Yes, his words essentially tied everyone together, standing opposite to the piteous female ghost outside the door.
Although Wen Xishu felt the female ghost was pitiable, he believed Ah Fei wasn't bad to the point of being doomed to death, in the human and ghost choice, he chose humans.
And now, the footage on Wen Xishu's computer had turned to Zhang Qiang's.
"Success!"
He was secretly delighted.
Indeed, using the ghost's abilities could break the situation, now...
Ah Fei's ability is hacking, skilled in surveillance, which led to the obsession of surveillance after the unfortunate girl died.
Thus, after turning into a ghost, her ability was to monitor others.
Now, Wen Xishu used this ability to obtain Zhang Qiang's past!
The others hadn't reacted yet, wondering why Wen Xishu wanted to offend the female ghost, until both Ah Fei and Zhang Qiang saw the computer footage, Ah Fei finally realized...
This person is truly bold! He actually used the ghost?
When he was scared enough to almost wet his pants, he could even think of this operation?
Ah Fei was already in complete admiration of Wen Xishu.
And Zhang Qiang immediately took out a gun, trying to shoot and destroy the computer.
Wen Xishu said:
"It's too late, Zhang Qiang, I've already known your past."
Zhang Qiang fired the gun!
He didn't know what kind of consequence it would cause for his past to be known, but just had a very bad premonition.
At that moment, he practically hated Wen Xishu to death.
The shot wasn't aimed at the computer, but rather at Wen Xishu.
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
Xiaoya screamed in shock, Ah Fei was also wide-eyed, even Chen Ming could no longer remain calm.
If Wen Xishu died...
It's hard to imagine whether they could survive this night.
But then a bizarre scene unfolded.
After taking the gunshot, Wen Xishu acted as if nothing happened.
On the contrary, Zhang Qiang couldn't believe the tremor he felt, coming from the gun.
Wen Xishu then leisurely said:
"I have a nickname, Wen Twin Eagles, I bet that your gun... can't fire bullets."
Zhang Qiang couldn't believe what was happening.
"You... how did you do this? Are you a ghost too?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Of course, I'm human, it's just that the apocalypse has led some people to possess special abilities, like me."
While speaking, Wen Xishu kept switching the computer's footage.
At that moment, he saw not only Zhang Qiang's past but also Old Zhou's.
But soon... the footage froze.
When it reached Chen Ming's past, red mist started to appear on the screen.
Finally, the entire computer... turned red screen.
Wen Xishu had seen a blue screen before, but this was the first time seeing a red screen.
And on such a day, red wasn't a festive color.
Wen Xishu said:
"I know the past of each of you, Dr. Chen, including yours."
Chen Ming saw that Wen Xishu wasn't hit by the bullet, his expression calmed down considerably, and reverted to his previous unperturbed attitude:
"Teacher Wen, you're truly exceptional, I'm growing more and more fond of you."
No reaction.
Either this person has a strong psychological fortitude, strong enough to face crises without any detail change, or... this person knows they're being bluffed.
Wen Xishu leaned toward the latter.
Chen Ming most likely... has a story with a ghost connected with red.
As the surveillance rules emerged, more and more lines were being sorted out by Wen Xishu, using ghosts to break the situation, allowing Wen Xishu to almost uncover the truth.
But now, he first has to deal with the ghost outside the door and the Water Ghost.
Wen Xishu said:
"Ah Fei, use your skills for the right purpose going forward. I'm not afraid to tell you, there are many existences scarier than ghosts in this world."
"In the earlier world, you could laugh at the phrase 'three feet above there's a God,' but not now."
Ah Fei nodded fervently:
"I swear, since then, I haven't used my skills to violate others' privacy again! I know I was wrong! But I've really changed!"
Wen Xishu thought, maybe helping the girl outside the door seek revenge could be an option?
But next, another person has to die, with more ghosts than humans, who knows what unexpected events might occur.
Thus, he could only temporarily trust that Ah Fei truly knew he was wrong, moreover, Ah Fei indeed contributed to breaking the situation.
Without Ah Fei's special experience, this situation would be in a deadlock for a while, and Xiaoya might not hold out until then.
"Let's drink, Zhang Qiang, I advise you best not sing a different tune. Otherwise, I can blow your head off."
Having grasped the past of everyone except Chen Ming's, Wen Xishu was now very confident.
After drinking the red wine, others, even Zhang Qiang had no choice but to drink the red wine.
The girl outside the door finally said:
"I hope you can keep your promise! Otherwise, I won't let you go!"
This naturally was directed at Ah Fei.
Ah Fei nodded desperately, but there was no longer any movement outside the door.
The phonograph reappeared, laughing and said:
"Congratulations, you've made it through another round. Just how much longer will this endless ghost night last?"
"Unlocking new rule, when encountering some powerful monsters, you can use persuasion or deception to utilize their abilities."
This rule had already been explored by Wen Xishu, the phonograph indeed was merely a follow-up.
Having solved Ah Fei's ghost issue, Wen Xishu said:
"Your turn, Zhang Qiang, you won't think you can run?"
Zhang Qiang, unconvinced, fired again, since without the female ghost, there was no surveillance. All that's left is to kill Wen Xishu.
But it's meaningless.
Wen Xishu's Phoenix gloves had long locked down props, including firearms.
At this moment, the Water Ghost suddenly let out a cold laugh.
This time the laugh didn't appear on Xiaoya, but rather on its own body.
But aside from Zhang Qiang, no one was afraid, whether Xiaoya, Ah Fei, Chen Ming, or Old Zhou, they all thought Zhang Qiang deserved death.
Ah Fei and Xiaoya were even more in awe, especially Ah Fei, not only surviving, but seeing the dire situation turned into a breakthrough by Teacher Wen.
