Three Towers Game-Chapter 50 - 41: The First Victim_3
Chapter 50: Chapter 41: The First Victim_3
"Captain, it seems we can’t stay here. Assuming each door leads to a different scene, and each scene contains a sinister object that could harm us..."
"If we remain here indefinitely... it is likely that all four doors will converge, plunging us into four different scenes simultaneously."
"At that time, the dangers and variables will be multiplied fourfold... no, even more if there are combinations."
Park Mi-hye nodded:
"My oversight, I’ll follow your lead."
In truth, the surrounding pitch-black chaos was already making Park Mi-hye uncomfortable. She feared this kind of scene.
She wanted to survive, which meant she had to rely on Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu didn’t bother to expose her intentions. Without hesitation, and even faster than Sita, he was the first to step through the door.
The others saw the chaos swallow Wen Xishu’s figure. Although they felt a tinge of fear, Wen Xishu’s suggestion compelled them to enter the door one by one.
...
...
Books scattered everywhere on the ground.
From a high vantage point, one would see that on a desk higher than a person, there were a few exercise books and workbooks. The spread-open workbooks had pages torn by fingernails.
Wen Xishu was the first to enter, and the first thing he noticed was that this was a study room.
A gigantic study room.
When he found that the originally palm-sized books were half his height, he realized either he had shrunk, or everything in this study room was oversized compared to a normal human’s study.
To Wen Xishu, the office desk appeared like a high wall.
When he looked up, it felt as if the ceiling was tens of meters away.
The room was filled with various items. Pen holders, trophies, many books on the bookshelf, desks, office desks, chairs, certificates, a music box...
Everything was larger than he had expected.
Wen Xishu walked up to a giant, tattered book page.
It was the first time he saw such a huge book page, like an exercise workbook page full of exercises, expanded to the size of a 65-inch screen.
"Is this... a Junior One exercise?"
The setting was Jiangcheng.
Wen Xishu regarded the Three-Tower World as a parallel universe version of his previous life.
He guessed that this place might be similar to Suzhou or Shanghai.
The room’s interior didn’t show any obvious issues, except the scattered pages and tossed books, which indicated that there had been some fighting.
Wen Xishu had no time to analyze what the pollutant might be or how to find it, as he heard Brother Ah San’s voice from Sita:
"I smell it! It’s that smell, that smell!"
Sita began frantically running to a corner in the room.
If the proportions were normal, this room would be about twenty square meters, and running to the diagonal would be just a few steps.
But because the proportions had changed, Sita had to run for a while, almost sprinting at full speed.
At this moment, Wen Xishu, Kane, Mendemuir, and Zheng Zai all looked towards Sita’s sprinting destination—
What they saw caused Kane to reveal a mysterious smile, while Wen Xishu furrowed his brow slightly.
They were women’s clothing.
Due to the enlargement, the lace panties were large enough to cover Sita’s entire upper body. And Sita indeed intended to do just that.
Like a pervert, he crazily wanted to throw himself onto it.
In times of hunger, a person’s sense of smell sharpens.
But perhaps only Ah San’s race would have such a reaction in that regard.
Sita was able to smell the scent of women’s clothes through a door that was actually several dozen meters away, a feat Wen Xishu couldn’t help but appreciate.
But just then, Wen Xishu saw the bullet screen.
From Zheng Zai.
"Meat... I want to eat meat!"
Suddenly, Wen Xishu had a feeling something big was about to happen.
Shortly after Sita’s sprint, Zheng Zai could no longer hold back. His rational mind tried to keep his body still, but his limbs started to move involuntarily.
He looked much like a zombie.
At the same time, Sita had reached the gigantic clothing.
But suddenly, Sita came to a halt.
Because in his mind, a piece of information appeared:
[You have found an item. It bears the mark of sin. Do you want to purify it?]
The room contained pollutants that needed to be purified. Finding this item would grant an opportunity to leave the Deceit Tower and a reward of at least one level of completion.
Upon realizing the item had the mark of sin, coupled with the excitement from the woman’s scent, Sita chose to purify without much thought.
In that instant, the previously somewhat messy study room began to change.
An eerie presence descended. The giant music box that Wen Xishu had noticed earlier suddenly started playing music.
Wen Xishu seemed to have anticipated this turn of events. He even guessed why Sita had paused, because he had received the same prompt when he touched the book page.
But Wen Xishu had chosen ’decline to purify.’
This game was about finding the item. In the Desire Tower, perhaps there were no punishment for mistakes, but in the Deceit Tower, choosing wrong would inevitably bring punishment.
So Wen Xishu declined to purify.
He could have warned Sita, but he did not.
His gaze was as cold as the ice in the polar regions, and the amusement deep in his pupils made him seem like a bystander finding this funny.
As the music played, everyone heard a prompt in their heads.
[Good girl, you sure know how to hide. So, this is where you are? Today’s lessons are tightly scheduled!]
The voice was greasy and made people feel nauseous, especially Park Mi-hye, who immediately thought of those obese senior leaders.
After the voice faded, everyone witnessed a terrifying scene. The sinister objects hidden among the items finally revealed themselves.
Wen Xishu began searching for a hiding place, not bothering to see what was happening.
He only inferred from the prompt that they had to hide next. He did not share this information with anyone.
"Sorry, Mr. Liu. Believe me, I want to be a good person, but the premise is that, according to the game rules, good people can survive until the end."
Sita, oblivious to what he was facing, let out a blood-curdling scream.
The first team member met his death.
(This Chapter should have more words than the past two put together. However, there is still one more Chapter! You will get it this afternoon.)
