Zheng Zai had never felt this way before; his heart was beating even faster than the night he ate that eerie grandfather. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Ah Miao's voice, like sunlight, made people feel warm and comfortable.

"I keep thinking, I need to be like that. But I know I'm not cut out to climb the Deceit Tower; courage is merely the basic threshold for climbing it."

"Besides, I want to see you."

Zheng Zai's throat seemed to be choked by something, unable to speak.

"I used to climb Desire Tower, but later, due to unforeseen events, I gambled my life in the Deceit Tower. Then, Ah Shu arranged for me to join the Bunker Security Bureau, but everyone advised me not to risk my life, saying the Deceit Tower doesn't need more climbers, might as well climb the Desire Tower properly, and that I have a power that can inspire people."

"Hey, so I started climbing the Desire Tower. Although I'm confused, I always strive to help the people in the Desire Tower and never thought about indulging in enjoyment."

"Zheng Zai, has anyone ever praised you as a wonderful person who gives a sense of security?"

Zheng Zai shook his head, after a long pause, he said:

"Everyone is afraid of me, saying I'm a freak."

"Then you must have used a lot of strength to continue loving everyone." Ah Miao said with a smile.

This sentence froze Zheng Zai.

When sunlight penetrates the deepest parts of one's heart, besides warmth, the child hidden in the deepest part of the heart will surely feel some painful stabbing pain.

Zheng Zai felt some pain, in this nearly collapsing environment, hearing Ah Miao's words, he surprisingly felt like crying.

"We must thank Ah Shu, he gave us the courage to face life, right?" Ah Miao said.

She spoke for a long time. Normally, even when Deceit and Desire Dual Sound is activated, one wouldn't speak this much.

Unless, there's deep affection for someone.

Zheng Zai nodded:

"Yes, I've always been grateful to Younger Brother Wen."

Ah Miao said:

"I actually... thought Ah Shu died at that time, I don't have such fervent faith as the Venerable."

"Zheng Zai, life is very short, especially in our era, people might suddenly be gone any day."

"But fortunately, Ah Shu came back and brought new miracles."

"I want to help you! What's the situation on your side now, do you need my help?"

When Ah Miao mentioned that one might suddenly be gone someday, Zheng Zai actually expected Ah Miao's next sentence to be different.

But Ah Miao was merely feeling thankful for Younger Brother Wen's safe return.

He felt a faint sense of loss.

But quickly, he realized... maybe some words are meant to be said by himself.

Especially when he noticed the duration of this call, surprisingly long, he suddenly said:

"Ah Miao, when I return to the Bunker, I want... I have many things I want to say to you."

Ah Miao smiled gently:

"Alright, but now, you need to give me clues. I'm not here at Desire Tower just to pass time!"

Zheng Zai completely pulled himself together:

"No problem!"

With Ah Miao's help, he could activate the skill "Adjournment," allowing Ah Miao to investigate the truth of these families in the Desire Tower specifically.

It turns out life indeed has miracles, Zheng Zai was immensely grateful to Wen Xishu at this moment.

In his heart, this felt like a narrow escape, from facing imminent collapsing due to a wrong judgment to a turn for the better.

Younger Brother Wen saved his life once more.

Now, he feels that with teaming up with Ah Miao... he could find the complete narrative.

Perhaps, he could become the second person after Younger Brother Wen to achieve Level 6 completion in the Deceit Tower!

(There are many details in the new instance to be perfected, let's write about other people's transition first.)
