Weird Sequence 37: Mental Barrage

Wen Xishu looked in the mirror again and found that there was still no additional description.

But he was in no hurry and waited patiently for the guide to explain.

The guide's black head had been observing Wen Xishu all along. Seeing that the young man was indeed remarkably composed, it slowly spoke:

"Once you complete registration, you can summon this mirror at any time to view your status panel in the Three Towers."

"However, sequences are considered external possessions, so you need to touch them."

"Oh, and in the future, you will obtain the Desire Sequence and the Slaughter Sequence. But you should know that these sequences cannot be used in the Strange Tower."

As soon as it finished speaking, all three heads opened their eyes at once and stared at Wen Xishu, as if trying to detect something in his eyes.

After all, the last person to see all three heads at once had committed acts belonging to the Slaughter Tower while inside the Desire Tower.

Wen Xishu ignored the guide's gaze.

Mad Dice was his secret. Whether the guide could see through it or not, as long as he had not been exposed, he would deny it to the death.

His attention shifted to his spoils.

After touching the mirror, Wen Xishu found that another line of information had indeed appeared within it.

Number of sequence slots: 1. Sequence owned: Weird Sequence 37: Mental Barrage. This sequence cannot be traded.

Weird Sequence 37: Mental Barrage:

Effect 1: At certain moments, your inner thoughts will materialize. This effect counts as a summoning effect.

Effect 2: When an observed target's emotional level reaches a certain threshold, their inner thoughts will appear as barrages. Only you can observe these barrages.

Effect 3: When your emotions reach an extreme, they will also appear as barrages before certain targets.

Effect 4: You may manipulate materialized barrages. However, this requires sufficient Tower Power.

Wen Xishu fell silent.

He roughly understood what this thing could do. Weird Sequences were, as expected, truly weird.

Jack had displayed this ability in Jack's Deceptive Building.

He had hated the sound of Remian's calls to the extreme, so when Wen Xishu got through to Remian's phone...

The ringtone drifted past like a rain of barrages. It was like a thousand phones ringing at once, densely bombarding his eardrums.

When Jack desperately wanted to know where Jennifer was, countless barrage-like lines of "Jennifer, where are you?" appeared on the walls.

But Wen Xishu felt that this ability seemed rather lackluster.

"Based on my understanding, the lower a sequence's number, the rarer it should be, and the more absurdly powerful its effects should be, right?"

The guide nodded.

"That's right. Judging by its designation, you have obtained an extremely rare sequence."

Wen Xishu sighed.

"From the buyer's showcase I saw in Jack's Haunted Tower Area, along with my understanding of this sequence's description... I truly cannot imagine why it ranks thirty-seventh."

This thing appeared to have mind-reading capabilities, but the prerequisite was that the other party had to experience extreme emotions.

At the same time, it also had the potential to expose his own inner thoughts.

Wen Xishu genuinely did not know why it ranked thirty-seventh. Or was mental materialization some incredible ability?

The guide did not answer.

"Weird Sequences depend greatly on how they are used, but we cannot tell you how to use them."

"You can only explore that yourself. But I can tell you this: every sequence that ranks among the top fifty possesses absurd attributes."

Thinking that it was better than nothing, Wen Xishu still inserted Weird Sequence 37 into his sequence slot.

As he continued exploring the Strange Tower, he would surely eventually unlock additional sequence slots or obtain other sequences.

He could replace it then.

"Are sequences divided into tradable and non-tradable types?" He noticed the sequence's description.

The guide nodded.

"Yes. As you explore the Three Towers in the future, you may obtain tradable sequences. Those are treasures. Yohoho."

"Because if they can be traded, it means anyone can use them. And steal them."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Does every sequence come in tradable and non-tradable versions?"

The guide shook its head.

"Of course not. Although many sequences exist in more than one copy and have both tradable and non-tradable versions~"

"Some sequences are destined to be one of a kind. As for whether they are tradable or non-tradable, that mainly depends on how they are acquired."

"Take your Mental Barrage, for example. Once you possess it, no one else can possess it. Naturally, there will be no tradable Mental Barrage."

Wen Xishu nodded. This sequence, whose ability did not seem particularly strong, was actually one of a kind.

He did not ask any more questions. But the guide suddenly spoke:

"Oh, I nearly forgot. Your performance in the Desire Tower was outstanding, so you also have an extra item—a one-time-use item."

The guide made a gesture like a flower-hand dance, and a pair of wine cups appeared in its hands as if by magic.

"This is an item you obtained in the Desire Tower. They are called Truth Serum Wine Cups."

"Although you did not obtain the rarer Dare Wine Cups, believe me, the Truth Serum Wine Cups are also quite good."

"You can store them in your Three Towers inventory. They take up one slot."

"But you understand, these things came from the Desire Tower. You cannot bring them into the Slaughter Tower or the Strange Tower."

"All right, you will return to the Bunker in three minutes. I look forward to our next meeting."

It was impossible to tell whether the guide's smile and tone reflected happiness or hidden schemes.

Wen Xishu did not care.

His gaze fell on the Truth Serum Wine Cups.

Truth Serum Wine Cups: A pair with the Dare Wine Cups. They were once the treasures of a drunkard. After the drunkard died, the treasures were separated.

Effect: When you use these wine cups to drink with someone, both you and the other person will enter a truth-telling state.

A Desire Tower item—its effect looked quite good.

With this thing, questioning certain secrets would take half the effort.

Wen Xishu was in high spirits.

The Three Towers Guide had indeed said that items from the Desire Tower could not be brought into the Slaughter Tower or the Strange Tower.

But Wen Xishu remembered something: he had Mad Dice.

His first roll had triggered Three-Phase Power, allowing him to use the abilities and rules of all three tower systems at once.

Did that include items?

Logically, since it included rules, he should be able to use items.

After all, whether one could use a certain item was itself determined by rules.

Wen Xishu was not certain. He could only verify it later.

For now—abundant supplies had arrived in a Level Four facility warehouse on the Bunker's Function Layer the moment he completed registration.

This warehouse was located on the second floor of the Bunker's Function Layer. It was one of the few Level Four facilities on that floor.

And arriving on the second floor at the same time was a building that had never belonged there before.

A Level Six facility: Hospital.

The hospital also contained a large quantity of medicine and medical resources.

All of it belonged to a single person. Every item, even the massive facilities, displayed the same information before everyone's eyes—

Owner: Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu wondered whether what he had done could offset Wen Chaohua's atrocities, balancing merit against guilt.

Time passed quickly. The black Login Device once again brought pain to Wen Xishu's wrist.

The scenery around him changed once more.

Wen Xishu was about to return to the Bunker.
