The Jack Incident Concludes

A child's happiness is always simple.

Part of the reason Wen Xishu was happy was actually because—

Little Jennifer had great potential to be a little witch.

She wasn't afraid of monsters, wasn't snobbish like her mother, and was curious and open to the unknown.

She was also very smart; even when scared in dangerous situations, she could remain calm.

These qualities, combined with her potential to advance into Ghoul Jennifer, made Wen Xishu look forward to it.

However, when he thought about how he probably wouldn't see Jennifer again, he felt there wasn't much to look forward to.

The meal didn't last long.

During dinner, Wen Xishu only kept asking questions about Jennifer.

Yulia was very happy, thinking this was true love. Wen Xishu felt Yulia was too easily swayed.

He suddenly realized this was probably the effect of appearance and money.

As a "Blighted One," the "doctor" had learned the trajectories of many people in multiple loops and had quite a bit of money.

Therefore, Wen Xishu chose a rather expensive restaurant.

He wasn't particularly interested in wooing women, but now he could feel how much the venue of a first meeting influenced a woman's impression.

Wen Xishu clearly only cared about Jennifer, showing a perfunctory attitude when Yulia introduced herself.

Despite this, Yulia enthusiastically shared her worldview, basically the "Tu Lei" style of dating advice.

Wen Xishu was really anxious, thinking that since Jennifer was happy, he had to leave quickly.

If he wasn't going to "stake," staying in a boring place like the Tower of Desire was unnecessary.

So, he paid the bill halfway through and left.

Interestingly, this act of paying the bill and leaving halfway actually triggered a prompt in his mind: [Yulia's favorability increased].

Wen Xishu was speechless.

After leaving the restaurant, Wen Xishu found a secluded spot.

He planned to use the Invitation Letter to return to the Tower of Deception, but the moment he opened the letter, he suddenly became curious...

"I've indeed changed many things, but if the Tower of Deception and the Tower of Desire have a cause-and-effect relationship, will the scene in the Tower of Deception still be the same when I return?"

Wen Xishu was confident that he had done his utmost to bring happiness to Jennifer.

Except for the role of being Jennifer's father, which he truly couldn't do. But he had also found a powerful backer for Jennifer.

"If Jack is no longer miserable... will he still kill Jennifer?"

"If Jack didn't kill Jennifer, would Jennifer still have asked for help?"

If Jennifer hadn't asked for help, he shouldn't have appeared in the first place.

With many questions, Wen Xishu pressed his handprint onto the Invitation Letter.

The familiar feeling returned, and his surroundings changed once more.

Countless straight white lines crisscrossed, dissecting the surrounding space.

Then, these white lines began to expand continuously, and gradually, everything in Wen Xishu's vision became a blur of white.

Just as Wen Xishu thought he would return to the original scene of the Tower of Deception...

Suddenly, a massive amount of information appeared in his mind in text form.

Many people in this world were reversing cause and effect, but changing causality could indeed lead to many things changing.

[Due to changes in the plot of the Tower of Desire, the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Deception, "Jack's Fatal Deceptive Tower," will be restarted.]

[All players currently participating in this mission (excluding Invitation Letter holders) will have their memory modules synchronized and changed.]

[Memory module change in progress.]

[Tower of Deception logic repair simulation initiated.]

[Simulation started.]

[Jack and his mother suddenly disappeared, and were not seen for several days. Remian spread many malicious rumors, and Anderson searched every corner of Jack's house.

[Jennifer firmly believed that Uncle Jack would not break his promise and would appear one day to invite her to an interesting performance.]

[The world underwent drastic changes, and some of those chosen by the Towers began to evolve.]

[The dangerous world forced Yulia to abandon Jennifer. When there was only one spot on the ship to escape the apocalypse, Yulia chose to abandon Jennifer. Jennifer was left behind in Moen City, which was filled with mutants.]

[This mother and daughter might meet again, or they might never meet again, but Yulia would certainly not want to encounter a 'new' Jennifer.]

[Remian was terrified, but Jack told him not to be afraid, because in the apocalypse, no one would harm a dead person without a mouth.]

Anderson will always be Jack's good friend. Their friendship is like frozen meat in a refrigerator, capable of being stored for decades. Even if the refrigerator stops cooling, Jack won't dislike it.

This day, you received a plea for help from Jennifer. She needed to leave her current area and head to Jack's Deceptive Tower. These two, whose bond was more like father and daughter than anything else, seemed to sense each other's presence.

Through your and your companions' unremitting efforts, you successfully escorted Jennifer to the entrance of the Deceptive Tower.

The two monsters met successfully and were grateful for your actions.

[Your favorability with Deception Jack has increased to 75.]

[Your favorability with Deception Jennifer has increased to 90.]

[Jack's favorability towards Jennifer has increased to 100.]

[Jennifer's favorability towards Jack has increased to 100.]

[You have attracted the attention of a special existence within the Deceptive Tower, Deceptive Gemini. Your favorability with Deceptive Gemini has increased to 1.]

[Recruitment prerequisite for Slaughter Jack unlocked. Recruitment prerequisite for Slaughter Jennifer unlocked.]

A massive amount of information flooded Wen Xishu's mind. Wen Xishu felt momentarily stunned by the sheer volume of data.

So, Slaughter Jack and Slaughter Jennifer really existed. But what was Deceptive Gemini?

Before he could fully process this information, he found himself back at the beginning.

Jack's old tower, the first floor, at the entrance.

He stood at the entrance, and Jennifer stood outside. The scene was almost identical to before he was transferred to the Tower of Desire via the Invitation Letter.

But what was different was that Jack had appeared before Wen Xishu.

His arm, reeking of decay, was damaged, exposing parts of his white bones.

He still looked thin, but he had become extraordinarily tall. Deception Jack's physique could definitely be described as gigantic, though proportionally, he was indeed very slender.

This appearance made Wen Xishu think of a hybrid of an alien and a human.

Upon seeing the mask on Deception Jack's face, Wen Xishu suddenly smiled.

The mask was a composite of four eyes, ears, and two noses.

Although it looked incredibly horrifying, Wen Xishu found it quite satisfying. He knew where those four eyes, ears, and other organs came from.

He didn't care if Deception Jack was a good person or not, but he truly hoped that Deception Jack would be a good person who wasn't so boring.

"Thank you for bringing Jennifer back. In Moen City, you are our friend. I rarely admit humans as my friends."

Jack's smile was the same as when Wen Xishu faced Jennifer inside the Tower of Desire.

Wen Xishu returned the smile:

"I am honored to be friends with you. If you don't mind, you can also consider me non-human."

He adapted very quickly.

It was like playing those simulator games in his past life, where a bunch of random text appeared, briefly recounting a person's life.

He had been wondering how the causality between the Tower of Desire and the Deceptive Tower would be presented. He hadn't expected a direct restart.

The mission had changed from rescuing Jennifer from the old tower to escorting Jennifer into the old tower.

This time, Wen Xishu wasn't teamed up with anyone; it was essentially a solo mission.

But judging from the text information he just received, if he had teamed up, his teammates, without an Invitation Letter...

Their memories would be replaced. This was truly a domineering change.

Wen Xishu liked this kind of change, or rather, this method of handling things.

It was because it acknowledged his significant impact on this mission, or rather, on Jack and Jennifer's lives.

The greater the impact, the higher the plot's Completeness would likely be.

He had come here precisely to achieve Level Four Completeness.

"Big brother, do you want to stay and keep us company?" Jennifer said, holding Jack's hand.

Wen Xishu replied:

"I still need to explore other places. Unfortunately, I have to leave."

Jennifer blinked her eyes, looking quite reluctant.

"Then... can I know your name?"

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and decided to reveal his name:

"My name is Wen Xishu. You can call me Brother Shu; 'Big brother' isn't a very good title."

Jennifer noted down the name.

Jack said:

"I respect your choice. If you can't survive out there, you are always welcome to return here."

"Jennifer doesn't want you to die. I'll give you something; perhaps it will help you survive."

[Acquired Deception Jack's Eerie Sequence. For specific sequence details, please visit the Three Towers' Guide to complete account registration and inquire.]

It seemed he had gained a Deception-type ability.

Wen Xishu didn't know what this ability was yet, but he recalled the description from when he first rolled the Mad Dice.

He could use the abilities and rules of the three Towers simultaneously...

So, could this Eerie Sequence be used in the Tower of Slaughter or the Tower of Desire?

Wen Xishu's figure slowly retreated from the old building.

The moment he completely left the old building, Wen Xishu knew he had completed the mission. A prompt echoed in his mind:

[You have completed Jack's Fatal Deceptive Tower series of missions. You will now be transported to the Three Towers' Guide to receive your mission rating and check your rewards.]

A subtle pain emanated from his wrist. Wen Xishu noticed that the strange, watch-like black Login Device seemed to be shrinking.

The world in his eyes also began to shake slightly. The black number on the watch face, which had been zero, instantly turned to one.
