Wen Xishu seemed to understand something.
Breaking through the Three Towers is humanity’s mission, so certain attributes, in the eyes of the upper class, seem to become a kind of resource.
For example, beauty.
Before meeting Jiang Xue, Ah Miao, and even some women who died in the Desire Tower... most of them had tragic backgrounds, and beauty was merely a resource.
This resource, if used for climbing the tower, would be alright. But more often, it just became a tool for the upper class to release their desires.
Fortunately, the Wenren Family is a big family, otherwise, with Wenren Mirror’s appearance, she might have been targeted by some people in the upper echelons.
The thought of some fat woman defiling Wenren Mirror... Wen Xishu found it utterly tragic.
He thought of, in his previous life, some movie stars who, after encountering the upper class, chose to destroy their own looks.
Luckily, the Wenren Family still had some strength.
But even so, the Patriarch of the Wenren Family knew that with Wenren Mirror’s looks, she must be well hidden and not attract too much attention.
So for many years, Wenren Mirror had been secretly studying.
No friends, no childhood.
This also led to Wenren Mirror valuing friends greatly.
Not long ago, in that mysterious town, while dealing with the Priest, the Destroyer summoned Wenren Mirror, and he himself summoned Wen Chaohua...
Silently, Wen Xishu could feel Senior Wenren’s concern for his elder brother.
Now thinking back, maybe Wen Chaohua and Xun Hui were Wenren Mirror’s only friends.
Many people naturally liked Wenren Mirror, to this day, if Wenren Mirror wanted to find friends, probably everyone in the Bunker would be willing to queue up...
But perhaps, at the very beginning—only Wen Chaohua and Xun Hui didn’t care about some of Wenren Mirror’s attributes at all.
...
...
District 19 and District 20 are different.
The sky in District 19 was somewhat gloomy, grayish.
Most of the people here lived very happily. But they were somewhat xenophobic.
When their gaze fell on Wen Xishu, he could clearly sense the hostility.
"Outsider! Get out! You’re here for happiness too, aren’t you? You filthy outsiders, do you deserve happiness?"
Someone started cursing directly.
If it weren’t for knowing this was Hujiang, Wen Xishu would have thought he was back in Shanghai.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Gradually, more and more people started yelling and cursing at Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu now understood why the taxi driver had stopped the car so far from Renhole Village.
It’s not about making a living quickly, but once you get close, the residents of Renhole Village might do something unfriendly.
Wen Xishu pondered...
"If I use violence now, although I don’t have the Slaughter Tower panel, with my own strength and various tools, I should be able to knock this whole village down."
He intended to use force, clenching his fists. This scene made Wenren Mirror secretly alarmed.
As a master of the Desire Tower, next only to Evelyn and the top person on the Celestial Ladder List on the surface, Wenren Mirror could instantly sense that anger.
"Little Tree shouldn’t be entering the Desire Tower for the first time, doesn’t he know that violence can’t be used in the Desire Tower?"
Wenren Mirror guessed a possibility. Wen Xishu also thought of showing off. After all, in his eyes, the way people in Renhole Village might obtain happiness was not honorable.
But soon, Wen Xishu realized... he was overthinking.
There was no chance to use violence before Wenren Mirror.
Wenren Mirror merely said softly:
"Please ignore us, we came here with no hostility."
His words seemed to carry some sort of compelling effect.
Wen Xishu was surprised to find—
All the villagers immediately shut their mouths.
Very quickly, they started to go about their own business, seemingly ignoring both Wenren Mirror and Wen Xishu.
"You can erase your presence?" Wen Xishu exclaimed.
Wenren Mirror smiled:
"This move doesn’t work well on the sixty-seventh floor, but unexpectedly, it works well on the sixtieth floor. This isn’t a sequence power, it’s a tool power. But the activation effect is based on my own Luck Value."
It indeed is a very typical Desire Tower tool.
Wen Xishu was amazed.
Next, the two moved freely, with a green light all the way.
With Wenren Mirror there, combined with the invitation letter and the intelligence Wen Xishu obtained in the Deceit Tower... after arriving at the Desire Tower, they went straight to the dragon’s lair.
They hardly encountered any delay.
Wen Xishu reached the front of Morioka’s mansion.
Once again, Wen Xishu saw those fluttering talismans, drawn with black eyes.
"Celestial Eye God, Morioka Immortal... looks like he’s not home."
Morioka was not home, as the mansion’s doors were shut tightly.
But Wenren Mirror could sense there were others inside.
Wen Xishu also took out the Compass, which pointed to the depths of the mansion.
Wenren Mirror asked:
"What is this?"
Wen Xishu explained:
"A tool, often able to help me directly lock onto the target position I’m looking for."
Wenren Mirror felt a slight ripple in his heart.
It turns out Little Tree still has such a treasure on him? The invitation letter seems to naturally guide people to the source of the Desire Tower’s anomalies... combined with this Compass.
No wonder Little Tree always achieves such high completion in the Desire Tower.
Wenren Mirror said:
"Is it... left to you by your brother?"
"Of course not, I found it myself in the Deceit Tower." Wen Xishu said.
Wenren Mirror immediately felt a bit guilty again.
"I can’t have this mindset anymore... he is indeed Chaohua’s younger brother, but his own abilities must not be underestimated. Maybe he is Wen Xishu, which should be more valuable than being Wen Chaohua’s brother."
