Chapter 12 Reversing fate
“Hello, who are you?”

“Hello, are you a doctor at Moen Hospital?”

“Huh? You called the wrong number. I don’t work at Moen Hospital, and I’m not a doctor.”

The call was hung up, and the conversation was very short. Wen Xishu squinted his eyes and felt that the incident was becoming interesting.

After leaving the old building, he borrowed a mobile phone from a passerby and made a call.

That was the number Jack had left for the doctor, but he couldn’t find the doctor, it was a wrong number.

“Jack has no reason to lie to me. That doesn’t fit his character setting. So it seems that this doctor is indeed problematic.”

Wen Xishu looked into the distance. The next place he was going to was the fourth nursing home in Moen City.

Jack’s mother lives in this nursing home.

He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly quickened his pace, from a slow walk to a quick run.

……

……

Moen City, old building in the slums.

The appearance of Wen Xishu did not delay Jack’s opportunity to do something.

Unless there is a major change or guidance in logic, the people in the Desire Tower will try their best to do what they should do according to the original rhythm.

That is their destiny.

After a while after Wen Xishu left, Jack stopped being in a daze and decided to go upstairs to ease his relationship with Remian.

At the end of his life, Jack hopes that he will be a good person in everyone’s heart.

But in the end, he stood at the stairs and heard Remian’s call to Yulia.

Those hurtful words completely shattered Jack’s inner self-deception.

Then he walked towards his room, but happened to hear his “good friend” Anderson’s remarks on friendship.

As death approached, the things he thought were important in life began to shatter prematurely.

Jack’s tears fell silently on the steps in the corridor.

This world is so bad. He suddenly wanted to meet Jennifer.

This was probably the only way that could give him strength and make him see the good. He wanted so badly to hear Jennifer’s happy, childlike laughter.

But at this moment, Jack’s original behavioral logic changed.

Because he remembered that the mysterious man had handed him an invitation.

“Please open it only when you feel the pain is unbearable and want to see Jennifer.”

He originally thought that he would not need this note, but he did not expect that the man seemed to be able to predict the future.

Jack now felt the pain overflowing.

He opened the invitation.

“Jack, my friend. When you decided to open it, I thought you realized that you had been deceiving yourself.”

“There are a lot of disgusting and terrible people in this world. There’s nothing wrong with being a good person, but you shouldn’t deceive yourself into trusting someone who is already bad.”

“You don’t need to know why I could guess that you were crying silently in the corridor. I also know that you really want to see Jennifer at this time.”

“Please don’t worry, Jennifer is a good kid, she will visit your show, but not now.”

“She is not the only person in your life who deserves to be invited. Your mother is still waiting for you, so why not come and meet her first.”

“Besides, you won’t die from stomach cancer, and you’ve never had stomach cancer.”

“On the contrary, in this impending disaster that everyone is terrified of, you are luckier than anyone else.”

“If you want to know everything, why not put away your despair at the moment and meet your mother first.”

……

……

The distance between the nursing home and the old building was not far, and Wen Xishu was running all the way.

He is racing against someone for time.

The formula for constructing villains in this world is simple: a terrible and harsh living environment, and a little bit of love.

With a little love, people can never give up on life or hope even in harsh circumstances.

Then, destroy this love and make him realize that he has never had love. In this way, an evil villain is created.

Wen Xishu has already received confirmation from Jack that Jack’s evolution is inevitable and has nothing to do with experience.

At the same time, he discovered that Jack’s life seemed to be arranged.

Remian’s betrayal, Anderson’s lies, Yulia’s disgust, it all made sense.

But soon after, Jack’s mother also had an accident and passed away.

All of this happened on the same day. These events were too coincidental and too close together. Added together, it was like a powerful drug that changed human nature.

When Wen Xishu heard the doctor’s words, he was wondering how the doctor diagnosed Jack with stomach cancer.

He then confirmed that the doctor was most likely fake.

Then the many coincidences that happened to Jack throughout the day might also have been designed.

So Jack’s transformation into a monster and the destruction of all ties with Jennifer could all be designed. The key to saving Jennifer actually lies in saving Jack.

“In the Trickster Tower, during Jack’s performance, the nursing home staff said on the phone that Jack’s mother had met with an accident.”

“An accident means that the old man did not die of natural causes. If we make a reasonable guess, perhaps this was a murder.”

“There is someone hiding in the shadows, trying to destroy Jack.”

“I have to take back my previous description of the Tower of Desire. This place is almost as interesting as the Tower of Trickster.”

……

……

The fourth nursing home in Moen City.

Jack’s mother was in a dazed state most of the time, because no doctor had been willing to take care of her for a while.

This is the case in nursing homes. In many nursing homes, medical staff treat the elderly casually. The more troublesome the elderly are, the less they are treated.

The elderly who long for attention will gradually become sensible and dull.

If the children are filial or capable, who would send their elderly parents to a nursing home?
But Jack’s work often required him to be away from home late at night, so he had no choice but to send his mother to a nursing home.

Some elderly people can make some medical staff enthusiastic by inadvertently revealing their savings.

But Jack’s mother is obviously not included in this range.

Jack was very poor, and even though he paid for the pension and some additional expenses, he still couldn’t change his mother’s situation.

But today, Jack’s mother is no longer alone.

A young doctor with a kind face was actually willing to push her wheelchair and take her out for a walk.

But when she entered the elevator and found that the floors it led to were getting higher and higher…

She started to get scared.

Only then did she remember that she seemed to have never seen this doctor before.

When the elevator reached the 37th floor, the highest point of the building, she asked:
“Doctor, why are we…coming here?”

“For happiness. And glorious evolution, old man.” The doctor smiled strangely.

“I…I don’t understand.”

The “doctor” gently pressed the old man’s shoulder:

“Then let me explain. You are Jack’s mother and Jack’s nourishment. Now, it’s time for you to show your value.”

“The world has begun to change, and Jack is one of the people who can change the world.”

“But his character is not conducive to realizing his talent. He needs a little help, and I need a little happiness.”

The wheelchair was close to the edge of the rooftop.

“Your fall will lead to his rise. This is the meaning of a mother’s love. It’s really touching, isn’t it?”

The doctor’s tone was as if he was reading a story to a child.

But his actions frightened Jack’s mother and she waved her hands desperately.

The “doctor” pushed the wheelchair and accelerated towards the edge of the rooftop. Then he let go of it and let the wheelchair slide towards the edge of the rooftop and fall.

His smile became bright, as if he was appreciating a great comedy.

But at this moment, a huge force suddenly pulled him back.

The white coat was torn apart by the powerful force.

The doctor paused, and then a hand grabbed his neck and pulled him back hard.

“I like the way you treat patients. But unfortunately you chose the wrong patient.”

Chasing, dragging, and then stabilizing the wheelchair. All in one smooth motion.

For Wen Xishu, who has been walking on the edge of death for many years and is good at extreme sports, the operation just now was simple and easy.

The “doctor” fell to the ground, looking at Wen Xishu who suddenly appeared, with a look of shock.

The doctor couldn’t believe that someone would stop him at this critical moment.

This is not the first time he has done this, so why would there be trouble this time?

Interestingly, facing Wen Xishu’s violent behavior, the doctor, who looked tall and strong, did not choose to fight back.

He even looked at Wen Xishu in panic.

Wen Xishu’s behavior undoubtedly violated the rule that “Desire Tower prohibits violence.”

But the rules of the game only restrict people in the bunker, that is, only players, not people in the three towers.

Although this doctor is not a player, he is quite special and is not an ordinary three-tower person.

Wen Xishu also noticed that the doctor didn’t even show the slightest bit of anger on his face.

The mastermind who can control Jack’s fate actually has such an expression when facing violence.

This made him feel very interesting. It seemed that there was something in the Desire Tower that he had not expected.
