Weird Sequence 37

Wen Xishu looked in the mirror again, finding no additional descriptions.

He wasn't in a hurry, however, patiently waiting for the Usher to explain.

The Usher's black head had been observing Wen Xishu the entire time. Noticing the young man's composure, it slowly spoke:

"Once you've completed registration, you can summon this mirror anytime to view your status panel within the Three Towers."

"However, Sequences are considered external possessions, so you'll need to touch it."

"Oh, and in the future, you'll obtain the Desire Sequence and the Slaughter Sequence. But you should know, these Sequences cannot be used in the Tower of Deception."

After saying this, all three heads simultaneously opened their eyes, staring at Wen Xishu. They seemed to be trying to discern something from his eyes.

After all, the last person who saw all three heads at once had committed an act befitting the Tower of Slaughter within the Tower of Desire.

Wen Xishu ignored the Usher's gaze.

The Mad Dice were his secret. Regardless of whether the Usher could potentially figure it out, as long as it wasn't exposed, he would deny it to his death.

His attention shifted to his spoils of war.

After touching the mirror, Wen Xishu discovered that a line of data had indeed appeared within it.

[Sequence Slot Count: 1. Owned Sequences: Weird Sequence 37 · Mental Barrage. This Sequence is non-tradable.]

[Weird Sequence 37 · Mental Barrage:
Effect 1: Your inner thoughts will materialize at certain moments. This effect is considered a summoning effect.
Effect 2: When the observed target's emotional value reaches a certain level, inner thoughts will appear as bullet comments, visible only to you.
Effect 3: When your emotions reach their peak, they will also appear as bullet comments in the eyes of specific targets.
Effect 4: You can control the materialized bullet comments. However, this requires you to possess sufficient Tower Power.]

Wen Xishu fell silent.

He had a rough idea of how this thing worked. Sequences, as expected, were quite bizarre.

In Jack's haunted building, Jack had demonstrated a similar ability.

He intensely loathed the sound of Remian's phone call. So, when Wen Xishu actually managed to call Remian...

The ringing of the phone had flown past like a barrage of bullet comments. The scene resembled a thousand phones ringing simultaneously, bombarding his eardrums with dense sound.

When Jack desperately wanted to know Jennifer's whereabouts, bullet comments like "Jennifer, where are you?" would appear on the walls.

But Wen Xishu felt this ability was somewhat underwhelming.

"Based on my understanding, the lower the number for a Sequence, the rarer and more potent its effects, right?"

The Usher nodded:

"Correct. Judging by the numbering, you've obtained an extremely rare Sequence."

Wen Xishu sighed:

"From the 'buyer reviews' I saw in Jack's haunted building, and my interpretation of the Sequence's description... I genuinely can't fathom why it's ranked 37."

This thing, despite appearing to have mind-reading capabilities, required the target to experience extreme emotions as a prerequisite.

Furthermore, it also carried the possibility of exposing one's own inner thoughts.

Wen Xishu truly didn't understand why it was ranked 37. Or perhaps, mental materialization was some incredibly significant ability?

The Usher offered no answer:

"Many Weird Sequences have specific uses, but we can't tell you how to use them."

"You'll have to discover it yourself. But I can tell you that any Sequence ranked within the top fifty is bound to have monstrous attributes."

Wen Xishu, with the mindset of "better than nothing," inserted the Weird Sequence 37 into his Sequence slot.

He figured that by continuously exploring the Tower of Deception, he would eventually unlock additional Sequence slots or acquire other Sequences.

He could always switch them out then.

"Do Sequences have tradable and non-tradable types?" he asked, noticing the description.

The Usher nodded:

"Yes, as you explore the Three Towers in the future, you might acquire tradable Sequences. Those are true treasures. Heh heh."

"Because they are tradable, it means anyone can use them. And, of course, steal them."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Does every Sequence have a tradable and non-tradable version?"

The Usher shook its head:

"Of course not. While many Sequences exist in multiple copies and come in both tradable and non-tradable forms~"

"But some Sequences are destined to be unique. Whether they are tradable or non-tradable primarily depends on how they are obtained."

"For example, your Mental Barrage. Once you possess it, no one else can. Naturally, tradable versions of Mental Barrage will not come into existence."

Wen Xishu nodded. This Sequence, which didn't seem particularly powerful, was actually unique.

He didn't ask any more questions. The guide, however, suddenly spoke:

"Oh, I almost forgot. Your performance in the Tower of Desire was outstanding, so you get an extra item, a one-time use item."

The guide made a motion similar to waving a flower, and a pair of wine cups magically appeared in his hand.

"This is a prop you obtained in the Tower of Desire, called Truth Serum Wine Cups."

"Although you didn't get the rarer Dare Wine Cups, believe me, the Truth Serum Wine Cups are also very good."

"You can place it in your Three Towers inventory. It takes up one slot."

"But you know, this thing comes from the Tower of Desire, so you can't bring it to the Tower of Slaughter or the Tower of Deception."

"Alright, you'll return to the Bunker in three minutes. I look forward to seeing you again."

The guide's smile and tone made it unclear whether he was happy or harboring ulterior motives.

Wen Xishu didn't mind.

His gaze fell upon the Truth Serum Wine Cups.

[Truth Serum Wine Cups: A pair with the Dare Wine Cups. They once belonged to a drunkard who cherished them. After the drunkard died, his treasures were separated.

Effect: When you drink with someone using these cups, both you and the other person will enter a state of speaking the truth.]

A prop from the Tower of Desire, and it seemed to have a decent effect.

If he had this, inquiring about certain secrets would be twice as effective.

Wen Xishu was in a great mood.

The Three Towers guide had indeed said that items from the Tower of Desire couldn't be brought into the Tower of Slaughter or the Tower of Deception.

But Wen Xishu remembered something: he had the Mad Dice.

His very first roll had triggered the Three-Phase Power, allowing him to use abilities and rules from three tower systems simultaneously.

Did this include items?

Logically, since it included rules, it should allow the use of items.

After all, the ability to use a certain item was itself determined by rules.

Wen Xishu wasn't sure; he could only wait to verify it later.

For now, the generous supplies had arrived in a Level 4 facility warehouse within the Bunker's functional layer the moment he completed his registration.

This warehouse was located on the second floor of the Bunker's functional layer, considered a rare Level 4 facility on that floor.

Also arriving on the second floor simultaneously was a building that had never belonged to the second floor before.

Level 6 Facility: Hospital.

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

All of this belonged to one person. Every item, every massive facility, displayed the same information to everyone's eyes:

Owner: Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu wondered if his actions could somehow offset the atrocities committed by Wen Chaohua.

Time passed quickly. The black Login Device once again caused a painful sensation on Wen Xishu's wrist.

The surrounding scenery changed once more.

Wen Xishu was about to return to the Bunker.
