Chapter 41 The First Death

The man was about 1.9 meters tall, but the most striking thing was not his height but his arms that hung naturally and easily passed his knees.

His arm span was so amazing that it felt like he could touch the ground with his fists if he just bent his body slightly.

Judging from the body proportions alone, in Wen Xishu’s eyes, this last teammate looks more like a gorilla than Nissen.

Of course, what people care about most is the man’s mouth, which is sealed with an iron cover. Wen Xishu has only seen this kind of dress in the second dimension.

Normally, once the cover is opened, the second stage or something will be activated.

However, Kane, Park Mi-hee, and Sita were all brave and didn’t care too much about this kind of outfit.

“My name is… Zheng Zai.” The man spoke with some difficulty.

“I’m sorry. I hope my appearance doesn’t scare you… I have to be like this. I’m trying to get rid of a certain desire.”

Zheng Zai’s voice seemed quite gentle. If it weren’t for the iron cover, Zheng Zai might have given people the impression of being a tall and safe man with a bit of simplicity.

Wen Xishu noticed that Zheng Zai would look at Asan Gexita from time to time.

“Is there some kind of smell on Sita that attracts him?”

“He’s trying to get rid of some desire?”

Wen Xishu couldn’t help but ask:

“are you sick?”

Zheng Zai nodded:
“I’m sick. But I can’t get better.”

Wen Xishu asked again:
“There’s a level six hospital on the second floor now, and it can’t cure you?”

Zheng Zai shook his head:

“After the epidemic is over, the hospital will not be open to ordinary people… I have to make money and come to the Ghost Tower to make enough money.”

Wen Xishu suddenly thought of a guess:
“Which tower did you go to last time?”

Zheng Zai actually likes people asking questions, because that way, some of his desires will be reduced because his attention will be diverted:

“In the Ghost Tower, on the fourth floor. I completed that mission… I completed it. Level 4 completion.”

Weird Tower, fourth floor, level four completion.

The spooky tower itself should have a bonus, and it is a level 4 completion, so the supplies should be very rich…

Considering Zheng Zai’s physical condition, Wen Xishu said:
“What crime have you committed?”

Zheng Zai was slightly startled, as if his thoughts were not keeping up with Wen Xishu.

He was silent for two or three seconds before he slowly spoke:
“My father… was arrested during the anti-corruption campaign. My family members are all prisoners.”

It is surprisingly similar to my own fate.

It’s just that the word anti-corruption, plus the connotation… I think Zheng Zai’s father is not an ordinary person.

Wen Xishu asked the last question:
“How long ago was this?”

Zheng Zai is now about 30 years old, but he looks a little vicissitudes. He replied:

“Twelve years ago.”

“Okay, welcome to join our team.”

Twelve years ago, it seemed to have nothing to do with the Wen family.

Wen Xishu didn’t feel any malice from Zheng Zai, which made him feel good.

As for Zheng Zai’s illness, perhaps it is not an illness at all.

Of course, Wen Xishu is unable to judge at the moment.

“Why don’t you be the captain?” Wen Xishu suddenly looked at Park Mi-hee.

Logically speaking, the probability of someone arranged by the top management happening to become one’s teammate is very low, but since he has been experiencing various low-probability events, Wen Xishu has never been lucky.

Arranging Park Mi-hee as captain was, on the one hand, intended to observe Park Mi-hee, and on the other hand, Park Mi-hee might have some intelligence.

At this time, Sita raised an objection:
“Why should a woman be the captain? Women are used to… No, I can’t accept it.”

Wen Xishu looked at Kane:
“Do you also think that this beautiful lady is not suitable to be the captain?”

Kane shook his head:

“Of course not. Men and women are equal. Hey, this beautiful lady must have a lot of experience in climbing towers. I’m willing to learn from her.”

Neither Zheng Zai nor Mendmuir spoke.

Park Mi-hee asked:
“Why did you choose me as captain?”

Wen Xishu seemed to change the subject:
“The keyword for this mission is parrot. As for parrots, you have climbed the Desire Tower many times. Do you have any impression of them?”

Park Mi-hee frowned:
“This is also my first time climbing the spooky tower. How can I possibly know what the parrot represents? Although the top management of the bunker promoted the Chinese language as the official language, your language… is very obscure.”

“Your writing is complicated just for the sake of being complicated.”

Wen Xishu said:
“Okay, Ms. Park, I don’t expect you to understand the beauty of Chinese, but what I want to ask is, do you have any memory of the parrot in the Desire Tower?”

Park Mi-hee seemed to have heard from Wen Xishu that there might be a connection between the Desire Tower and the Weird Tower.

She actually took Wen Xishu’s words more seriously.

after all……

Unlike others, Park Mi-hee came here for Wen Xishu, and Wen Xishu’s intuition was not wrong.

The six people have completed their team formation, and they have less than an hour to prepare for the battle.

Of course, Park Mi-hee also hopes to survive, because only by surviving can she have a chance to have a better life.

For this mission, the bunker’s top brass, mainly the Administrative Bureau, arranged a team of 244 female agents. Although these women usually only hang around in the lower levels of the Desire Tower, they all have their own abilities.

The Bunker Security Bureau also arranged for a number of non-academic graduates to infiltrate the spooky tower, a total of 450 men.

Students who graduated from colleges and universities and were related to Santa Pagoda College were not allowed to be persecuted. However, the Security Bureau would recruit some low-level people to do “dirty work” every year, and even train death squads.

Nearly 700 people were thrown into the Weird Tower just to team up with Wen Xishu and get the secret of passing the Weird Tower. These people might die, and the Bunker Security Bureau and the Political Affairs Bureau were actually prepared to pay a huge amount of compensation for this.

And this is only the number of those who are on the list. It is still unknown how many real prisoners there are without the list. Park Mi-hee herself does not know some of the data.

All this shows how important the secret hidden in Wen Xishu is.

Park Mi-hee said:
“You should know the number one person in the Desire Tower, Wen Ren Jing, right?”

Everyone nodded. This name was known to everyone.

Park Mi-hee continued:
“Wenren Jing also had regrets. All I know about parrots is the colorful birds that Wenren Jing wrote about in the fourth layer…”

“The colorful bird also has regrets. What she wanted was not love. I gave her the wrong thing. I wanted to be quick and used the wrong method. That was one of the very few first-level completions in my life.”

“To this day, I still regret why I looked at her so superficially. What the bird wants is true freedom.”

Park Mi-hee said:
“I haven’t studied Chinese enough, but I can still read from here that Wen Ren Jing, who was in the early days, expressed regret for the bird’s final fate.”

“You asked me about parrots… All I can think of are colorful birds.”

Wen Xishu nodded:

“You see, you are very suitable to be the captain. After all, you have experience that none of us have. Maybe during this team formation, some of the things you occasionally think of will be of great help to us.”

Park Mi-hee did not refuse.

She thought that she had not been exposed, and only by not being exposed could she obtain as much information about Wen Xishu as possible.

Otherwise, once the other party becomes defensive, it will be troublesome.

So she nodded:
“From what you said, these two birds are…related? If that’s the case, I hope my memory can really help you.”

The captain of the six people was Park Mi-hee, and the six people also got to know each other briefly.

Except for Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai, everyone else was exploring the Strange Tower for the first time, having previously been to other tower systems.

Time passed quickly, and after everyone was fully prepared… they started the login program at the same time.

……

……

The world of parrots has arrived.

Wen Xishu was not surprised. This was indeed not a bird cage. Instead, it was a special room with doors on all four sides.

Apart from the four doors, the room was just a vortex of chaos and nothing else.

This room really does look a bit like a parrot cage.

Because in Wen Xishu’s view, the four doors were open, just like an open bird cage, but the bird dared not fly away. Just like everyone here, they were hesitating in place, waiting for someone to give instructions.

[Please select a door and find the items behind the door that need to be purified. Each item can allow two people to leave. The final score will be determined based on the number of purified items obtained. ]

“It looks like we have to enter the room and look for something… There are six of us, and as long as we find three things, we can all leave.” The speaker was Mendmuir.

Although he was timid, he was not frightened by the scene to the point of being unable to think.

Sita walked to a door:

“I…I smell something I like!”

The black vortex filled every corner of their vision. Wen Xishu and the others could not see what was happening inside the door.

Wen Xishu had to admit that he had gathered his ideas. He immediately felt that the door led to another space.

So if you can’t see it, you can only enter in the dark. But San Ge’s logic is really hard to guess. The first thing Sita thought of was… to smell it.

God knows what smell he smelled that made him feel familiar and like it?
But this did give Wen Xishu some ideas:

“Then let’s go to this door? There’s no point in us standing still here. It seems that the four doors lead to four different scenes. These scenes…will eventually form the birdcage that will cause the Parrot to fall.”

“There are four different things in the four scenes. We need to find them. If we find one of them, it should allow two people to leave. The people who leave may achieve the first level of completion.”

“Whoever finds it can leave, and can designate one person to leave. Is that ok?”

When they heard that it was just about finding something, everyone thought it didn’t seem difficult.

Sita said:

“No problem, come in quickly, I can’t wait any longer.”

Zheng Zaiya said slowly:
“no problem.”

After entering the strange tower area, Wen Xishu felt that Zheng Zai was becoming more and more weird, and when he looked towards the west tower, his eyes became more and more terrifying and ferocious.

Sita himself didn’t notice it, as he was completely focused on the smell he liked behind the door.

Park Meixi had no objection to Wen Xishu’s instructions, but she did not blindly obey Wen Xishu:

“If we stand here and do nothing, will we be forced to return safely after seven days? This is not the Desire Tower. There is no setting that if we don’t get happiness from the mission target, we will die.”

This suggestion is very good. In Wen Xishu’s opinion, this suggestion can reduce his suspicion of Park Mi-hee to a certain extent.

Because it makes sense.

No one knows the danger behind the door, so it’s not impossible to wait there for seven days.

However, before Wen Xishu could give a reason why this could not be done, the changes in the situation had already made everyone realize that this could not be done.

Because… Sita felt the door move.

He was the one closest to the door because he leaned close to it to smell it.

So Sita was the first to feel the slightest movement of the door.

“The door is moving, it’s moving towards us!”

Wen Xishu glanced at Park Mi-hee:

“Captain, it seems we can’t stay here. Suppose there is a scene behind the door, and there is a strange thing in the scene that can hurt us…”

“Then if we continue to stay here… it is very likely that all four doors will converge together and we will enter four scenes at the same time.”

“By then, the danger and variables will be quadrupled… No, if there is a combination, it will be more than quadrupled.”

Park Mi-hee nodded:

“My negligence, I’ll listen to you.”

In fact, the darkness and chaos around her already made Park Mi-hee feel uncomfortable. She was afraid of this kind of scene.

If she wants to survive, she must use the good smell of Xishu.

Wen Xishu did not try to expose the other party’s thoughts. He no longer hesitated, and was even faster than Xita. He was the first to walk into the door.

The other people saw that the chaos had swallowed up Wen Xishu’s figure. Although they were a little bit afraid in their hearts, they thought of Wen Xishu’s words and entered the door one by one.

……

……

Books were scattered all over the floor.

If you look from a high place, you will see some exercise books and homework books placed on the desk which is taller than a person. On the opened homework books, there are traces of pages scratched by fingernails.

Wen Xishu was the first to come in, and the first thing he did after entering was to find that this was a study.

A huge study.

When he discovered that the palm-sized book was actually half his height, he realized that either he had been shrunk, or everything in the study was larger than the conventional study furnishings in the human sense.

To Wen Xishu, the desk seemed as high as a wall.

When he raised his head, he felt that the ceiling was dozens of meters away from him.

There are many things in the room. Pen holders, trophies, many books on the bookshelf, desks, desks, chairs, certificates, music boxes…

Everything is bigger than I expected.

Wen Xishu walked to a huge, torn page of a book.

It was the first time he saw such a huge page. It was like a workbook page full of exercises, filled up by a huge 65-inch screen.

“Is this… a first-grade homework assignment?”

The scene is Jiangcheng.

Wen Xishu regards the Three Towers World as a parallel universe version of his previous life.

He guessed that this might be a place similar to Suzhou or Shanghai.

There was nothing wrong with the decoration style of the house, but the scattered pages and discarded books made it look like it had been through a fight.

Before Wen Xishu could analyze what the pollutants might be and how to find them, he heard Asango Sita’s voice:
“I smell it! It’s that smell, it’s that smell!”

Sita began to run frantically towards a corner of the room.

If the proportions were normal, this room would be about 20 square meters, and even if it ran diagonally, it would only take a few steps.

However, due to the change in proportion, Sita ran for a while, almost at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

At this time, Wen Xishu, Kane, Mendmuir, and Zheng Zai all looked towards the finish line in the direction of Xita’s sprint.

The things there made Kane smile mysteriously and Wen Xishu frowned slightly.

Those are women’s clothes.

Due to the magnification, the lace panties were enough to cover Sita’s entire upper body. Sita did think so.

Like a pervert, he wanted to stick his whole body to it like crazy.

When people are hungry, their sense of smell becomes acute.

But probably only the Indian race will experience such changes in that regard.

Xita was able to smell the scent on women’s clothes through the door, which was actually dozens of meters away. Wen Xishu had to admire him.

But at this time, Wen Xishu also saw the barrage.

From Zheng Zai.

“Meat…I want to eat meat!”

Wen Xishu suddenly had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

Soon after Xita ran wildly, Zheng Zai finally lost control. His mind tried to control his body from moving, but his limbs had already begun to twist unconsciously.

Looks exactly like a zombie.

At the same time, Sita had rushed to the huge piece of clothing.

But suddenly, Sita stopped again.

Because a piece of information emerged in his mind:
[You found an item with traces of sin on it. Do you want to purify it? ]

There are pollutants in the house that need to be purified. As long as you find this item, you will have the opportunity to leave the tower and get a reward of at least one level of completion.

As soon as Sita saw the traces of sin on it, and his brain was too excited by the smell of the woman at the moment, he chose purification without thinking.

At this moment, the study room, which originally looked a little messy, changed.

A strange atmosphere descended at this moment, and the huge music box that Wen Xishu noticed at the beginning suddenly made music.

Wen Xishu seemed to have guessed how this would unfold. He even guessed why Xita paused, because when he touched the page of the book, he had the same hint.

But Wen Xishu chose to “refuse purification”.

This time the game is about finding items. If it was in the Desire Tower, there might be no penalty for mistakes, but this is the Strange Tower, so if you find the wrong item, there will definitely be a penalty.

So Wen Xishu refused the purification.

He could have warned Sita at this moment, but he didn’t.

His eyes were as cold as polar ice, but the mockery deep in his pupils made him look like a fun-loving person.

As the music started, everyone heard a prompt in their minds.

[My dear, you are really good at hiding. I wonder if you are here. Today’s class is very tight! ]

The voice was full of greasiness, which made people feel nauseous, especially Park Mi-hee, who instantly thought of those obese senior leaders.

Soon after the voice fell, everyone saw a horrifying scene. The strange creature hidden in the objects finally showed up.

Wen Xishu began to look for a hiding place, he did not go to see what happened.

He just guessed based on the hint that he had to hide next, and he didn’t share this information with anyone.

“I’m sorry, Sir Liu. Of course I want to be a good person, provided that the rules of the game allow good people to survive to the end.”

Sita didn’t know what was happening to her and let out a shrill wail.

The first teammate died.
