Three Towers Game

Not long after, the son of another prominent businessman in Jicheng was killed at his own residence.

The method of death was the same, the body arranged into a hexagon.

The Sin Eater once again made his presence felt.

Undoubtedly, he had become Jicheng’s new "urban myth."

Many speculated that he was, in fact, Yin Junchi himself.

But no one could find Yin Junchi, and those who sought the truth could only attempt to reach out through Yin Junchi’s personal forum.

With the arrival of the Sin Eater, the crime rates in Jicheng had actually improved somewhat during this period.

The financial tycoons seemed to have restrained themselves a bit as well.

The number of residents at Miracle Mansion noticeably decreased, and those willing to move in dropped significantly.

Yet conversely, it seemed all evil, all malice, could simply be blamed on the Sin Eater.

The Sin Eater committed crimes everywhere, treating human lives as worthless; he acted with impunity, disregarding legal order.

The Sin Eater seemed to target not only the tycoons but also equally mocked ordinary people.

One day, Bai Xu’s wife, colleagues, and supervisors were all kidnapped by the Sin Eater.

The Sin Eater, like a psychopath in a movie, began playing a game of testing human nature with them.

In the end, these people unsurprisingly chose self-interest over emotions.

The wife betrayed her husband, the supervisor framed the subordinate, the colleagues defamed their predecessors.

Ultimately, the sordid nature of these people was fully exposed and they all—in the end—were turned into hexagons.

On this day, there was one more person who crumbled into despair due to the truth, Bai Xu.

On this day, Jiang Chengzheng felt deeply his own powerlessness and vowed to find the Sin Eater.

Every event that tried to corrupt Jiang Chengzheng was somehow deeply connected to another individual—the Sin Eater.

Before countless evil could corrode Jiang Chengzheng, the Sin Eater had already devoured all the wickedness, bearing it upon himself.

Jiang Chengzheng’s world never collapsed; on the contrary, thanks to the Sin Eater’s existence, Jiang Chengzheng’s determination to pursue justice and find the Sin Eater grew stronger.

The Sin Eater seemed to embody all amassed evil.

He became the source of countless crimes throughout Jicheng, the greatest evil.

...

...

The card game reached the sixth round.

The Judge suddenly smiled, his voice overlapped once again, as if the persona named Jiang Chengzheng was truly awakened:

"Wen Xishu, you’ve brought me many surprises."

"I never imagined someone in this world could do so much for a seemingly insignificant person named Jiang Chengzheng."

"I am grateful to you. This card game, I lost it; this Deceit Tower journey, you will be the ultimate victor. There will be no more Bunker People enslaved by my manipulation for that great person."

"You won."

Wen Xishu did not speak, merely looked calmly at the Judge.

The Judge continued:

"But all of this is just the beginning."

"I am merely an obsession within the Deceit Tower. What you must confront is the real world."

"The Deceit Tower simulation has its loopholes; in the real world, you cannot avoid those big figures."

"An Rong, that great person, and the numerous urban myths lurking within Jicheng, can you really change our destiny?"

The Judge produced the final fragment of the invitation.

With it, the complete invitation could be pieced together.

"Thank you for devouring all evil so I can uphold justice within my heart."

"But if you die in the Desire Tower, everything will reset. You must think carefully about whether to accept it."

Jiang Chengzheng handed the invitation fragment to Wen Xishu; Wen Xishu did not hesitate and accepted it.

He smiled and said:

"The Sin Eater is a play in the Deceit Tower; in the Desire Tower, I naturally have my own gameplay. If I give up here... Jiang Chengzheng truly dies."

"Jiang Chengzheng, the distinction between good and evil in this world is difficult, and it is easy to fall. Some things are hard precisely because they are right. But therefore, no matter how difficult, one must persevere."

The card game ended.

Wen Xishu accepted the invitation, completing a perfect challenge to the Deceit Tower.

Now, he was about to head to that place with at least three constellations, full of numerous urban myths and Destructives—Jicheng.
