Chapter 1370 - 436: Encountering Pisces (2)
Wen Xishu was surprised that Jicheng still had such an existence.
It looks like, just as Jack Jennifer in Mo’en City would face the Rat People, Jicheng also has someone who can arm-wrestle with An Rongzai.
At this moment, Jin Zaimin said, "According to the intelligence from my informants—the Cosmetic Surgeon is active on the seventieth floor of Desire Tower. Back then, he wasn’t that powerful yet, and in fact, we are looking for him now."
"But he also has a Destructive protecting him."
Wen Xishu was shocked.
A Destructive shouldn’t be playing with the "Qualified," should it?
How has it become a protector of the Qualified?
He quickly initiated a brainstorming session.
"Firstly, An Rongzai is food for Pisces, using An Rongzai as a metaphor, the future world will have many terrifying big fish that will devour the small fish. An Rongzai will be consumed by Pisces..."
"But it’s very likely that Pisces has other food."
"According to An Rongzai’s statement, both the Cosmetic Surgeon and An Rongzai are under Pisces... Pisces has cultivated them both..."
"Previously, all Destructives would play with and destroy the lives of the Qualified."
"But An Rongzai is different. An Rongzai actually tamed the Destructive."
"Destructives are related to time loops, which is equivalent to—Destructives are related to Pisces."
"So, can I understand this as Pisces having tamed the Destructive, making the Destructive assist these two people?"
"This explains why the Destructive behind the Cosmetic Surgeon didn’t harm him but protected him instead."
"An Ability User who can change others’ appearances and his own appearance. If he also possesses the knowledge to know the past, future, heavens, and all beings..."
"Then he can impersonate anyone!"
Wen Xishu instantly sensed some sort of ambition from Pisces.
Jin Zaimin continued:
"Mr. Wen Xishu, if you can help us solve this problem, although he is currently weak, firstly, he has a Destructive protecting him, and secondly... he can become anyone. It’s extremely hard to locate him. So this target, we currently have no means to kill, nor do we dare to overdo things."
"After all, with a god three feet above—if you can do this, we would be very grateful to you. Of course, regardless, this time our cooperation is established."
"In the next few days, just follow the predetermined time in the script to rescue them. Rest assured, in Jicheng, we can accomplish anything without them noticing any signs of manipulation."
Wen Xishu nodded.
Everything has been agreed upon.
In the Deceit Tower, he can only simulate, only play the role of passerby A, the real confrontation with the conglomerate. But in Desire Tower, his connections come into play; he doesn’t need to confront the conglomerate, he can even directly give orders to have the conglomerate help him do things.
This is now Wen Xishu’s ability.
Of course, Wen Xishu also agreed to help solve the issue with the Cosmetic Surgeon.
He had a premonition that he might encounter the Cosmetic Surgeon in the Deceit Tower soon. It presumably won’t be an easy role to deal with.
...
...
Later that night, many deaths occurred at Miracle Mansion.
A man claiming to be a Sin Eater was born.
On that day, a well-known writer received a "non-anonymous" submission, specifically, an in-person submission.
Yes, Wen Xishu faced this writer, no need to be anonymous, after all, the two had connections in Miracle Mansion.
Soon the Sin Eater became the focus.
Under the conglomerate’s propaganda, this Sin Eater was almost irredeemably evil.
Everything began unfolding as Wen Xishu predicted.
Later on, Ning Shu would face a ten-day behavior journey, Bai Xu would experience various life collapses, Jin Yiming would be wronged...
But a mysterious figure named Wen Xishu will lead them to resist fate, or rather—follow the script at their moments of despair.
Wen Xishu doesn’t need to show his face, he just needs to arrange various people to help them, preferably doing good deeds anonymously.
This was particularly emphasized by Wen Xishu to An Rongzai.
Because Wen Xishu only had forty-eight hours.
The ten-day behavior journey couldn’t be completed, so he could only leave the script for An Rongzai to help unfold it.
An Rongzai had great confidence in his control over Jicheng, and everything would develop as Wen Xishu predicted.
With conglomerate assistance, this is indeed the most effortless time Wen Xishu has had since entering Desire Tower.
He bypassed all troubles and avoided all risks.
The only thing remaining is to help solve a Cosmetic Surgeon.
After Wen Xishu and An Rongzai agreed, Wen Xishu left Three Balls Mansion, at that time Jicheng was still prosperous, Wen Xishu went to visit that writer—Yin Junchi.
The two had a pleasant conversation in a quiet little pub.
Wen Xishu also longed to alter this writer’s fate.
After all, Yin Junchi later died on the Ark.
He planned to tell Yin Junchi never ever to go to the Ark, and then complete the task perfectly, and return to Land of Reception—to claim a substantial reward.
But just as he was about to do so, a strange, blue energy wave enveloped the entire pub.
Yin Junchi suddenly stopped moving, not only did Yin Junchi stop.
Even the wine Yin Junchi was pouring also halted, those scattered droplets, the smoke from the grilled meat...
Everything froze.
Time solidified at this moment.
"You are so foolish, his fate must end in death, otherwise you will die too." A girl’s voice appeared.
