But if it's just flattery every time...

The brand will not activate.

Wen Xishu had to admit, Leon was quite clever with that move.

Do I count as fighting head-on with the space cannon? He really wanted to blurt out and ask Leon.

"Alright, I should leave now."

Leon wasn't stupid, he was just arrogant. Even if Wen Xishu might be deceiving him, he was confident that even if he spared the opponent this time, he could defeat them in the future.

He had always been like this.

Moreover, when facing Wen Xishu, he didn't dislike him.

For Leon, his battles and conquests required no allies.

But what Wen Xishu said today did take him by surprise.

Yes, everything is to end the apocalypse, and each astrological sign has its own method.

And if we only look at ending the apocalypse... perhaps humans aren't the enemy.

Leon's figure disappeared, along with the gigantic golden throne.

Wen Xishu inexplicably felt a huge wave of fatigue.

He had to admit, teasing a cat and teasing a Leo were entirely different in nature.

After surviving a catastrophe and completing the mission, he also freeloaded a potential item.

Of course, this item might not truly be obtainable.

In any case, today's harvest was quite fruitful, turning peril into safety.

Yet for some reason, Wen Xishu felt a… strange emotion.

He didn't dislike the Leo.

Is it because after the Sagittarius became an ally, he realized the possibility of cooperation?

No…

Even before the Sagittarius, he was already cooperating with the Scorpio.

Though not as purely as with the Sagittarius.

Thinking about it, Wen Xishu realized it seemed… because he thought Leon was genuinely not a bad person.

Strong, yet… simple.

When he asked for the item, it was hard to distinguish whether Leon from Leo returned it and gifted it due to his immense strength or a sliver of trust.

If in the future, he truly helped the Leo, he even felt that perhaps they could become friends?

This thought allowed Wen Xishu to clarify that strange emotion, it was sadness.

It was his resistance to the future battle with Leon.

Because the game between Scorpio and Leo would eventually come.

"My relationships with each of them aren't great. I assume they all want to kill me, right?"

This sentence reappeared in Wen Xishu's mind, but it had changed in meaning.

This encounter with the Leo and the Destiny Branch brought by the Scorpion Knife, could it all be… a Scorpio's calculation?

He thought again of what the Sagittarius had said, that no one can understand Scorpio, and perhaps Scorpio's playful mindset of treating everything as a game was just a disguise.

Wen Xishu shook his head and ultimately didn't dwell on it.

"After all, I come from the Bunker. What does their life and death have to do with me?"

This statement felt somewhat self-deceptive.

At the same time, many prompts appeared in Wen Xishu's mind.

Virgo's favorability, and Leo's favorability, both increased.

However, Aquarius's favorability decreased.

The appearance of these things signified the end of this exploration.

Patted his face, Wen Xishu smiled.

"Never mind, what I should care about is the rewards from double-line breakthroughs."

In the Obsession World, Wen Xishu had already achieved completeness.

And in this Ghost City, where ghosts appeared faintly, the ghost qi surrounded but couldn't realistically threaten people, yet it could intimidate the monsters outside the city...

For now, this seemed like the best ending.

"This time, does it truly count as Level 7?"
