Wen Xishu nodded. To him, the very existence of this library was significant.
After walking for quite a while, Wen Xishu noticed that the library was divided into sections based on the alphabet, 26 zones for 26 letters.
They walked from Zone H to Zone A, which took them a full six minutes.
In Zone A, Wen Xishu saw a high wall with a door at its base. The style of the door reminded him of the Land of Reception.
There was even a clock hanging on the door. Gua Shisan looked at the clock, then walked to the door and adjusted the position of the clock’s hands.
He then turned the door handle, slightly opening it, revealing a dimly lit scene inside.
Gua Shisan invited him:
"Lord Qilin is inside, go in, if all goes well, you’ll directly complete your induction."
Wen Xishu made up his mind: if faced with danger, he would use his shadow to cover retreat and employ his exclusive Profound aning to escape.
He remained cautious.
Pretending to be composed, he pushed open the door, and his body passed through to the other side...
He felt at that mont as though he entered an alternate space, experiencing a familiar dizziness typically felt when switching scenes.
Gua Shisan’s formidable presence had completely vanished.
The world inside the door was filled with clocks floating at varying heights.
Unlike the Land of Reception with the guides, these clocks ticked in reverse.
Moreover, the person waiting in the corner for a long ti neither had three heads nor emitted laughter that each ti sought innovation yet rely altered pronunciation.
This individual’s appearance was relatively normal compared to the guides, but only relatively so.
His hair appeared slightly disheveled, as though it hadn’t been trimd for a long ti, yet its color was peculiarly black on the left and white on the right. His clothes mirrored this: white on the left and black on the right. His features were standard for a Longxia man.
He should be regarded as having sword-like brows and starry eyes with an impressive aura, and, like Wen Xishu, he possessed a hint of youthful vigor.
But because of the dual-colored hair and clothes, there existed an elent of strangeness.
He gave off the impression of being forcibly assembled after the hat was removed from Black and White Impermanence.
"Hello, I’m Qilin. You may also call Mo Bai."
"I’m Wen Xishu." Wen Xishu looked at Qilin.
This was the third mber of the "Five Little Ones" he’d encountered.
"Your performance was impressive. We long for soone who regards human life as human life, soone with a bit of a Savior complex, to be our colleague."
Wen Xishu said:
"What happens if I refuse to be recruited?"
This question surprised Qilin:
"Why refuse? Because you co from the Bunker?"
Indeed, Gua Shisan and Qilin were different.
Qilin unexpectedly knew at a glance that he was from the Bunker.
Wen Xishu replied:
"Yes, since you know I co from the Bunker, you should understand that to , this is just a task."
Qilin nodded:
"I understand, but before rejecting us, why not hear what we do here?"
Wen Xishu had found a place to sit.
Before figuring out Qilin’s "inclination," he wouldn’t reveal much about himself, only act as a questioner.
"I’ve gone through eighteen days of interviews, now it’s my turn to ask a few questions, right?"
Qilin also sat down:
"Go ahead."
Wen Xishu asked:
"Did you create the Three Towers Company?"
Qilin laughed:
"How could I have? I was rely chosen temporarily to manage the Three Towers Company. I’m not the founder. I don’t even know who the founder is."
"But what can be confird is that in the future, the owner of the Three Towers Company will be the true God."
Wen Xishu didn’t quite understand, but proceeded to ask the second question:
"Are you the one who determined that I’m good at cheating?"
Wen Xishu was curious whether his secret of possessing the Mad Dice had been exposed.
Qilin shook his head:
"It’s the judgnt of the Three Towers Company."
"You deceived the Three Towers, hence they labeled you as adept at cheating."
"But precisely how you cheated and why you were able to break the rules, I don’t know, nor will anyone else in the company be clearer than I am."
Wen Xishu felt a bit relieved.
He understood to so extent that the Three Towers Company had long existed and wasn’t Qilin’s Obsession World.
The company’s prestige might not be below that of the constellations.
Qilin was the earliest person selected by the Three Towers Company.
That is to say, Qilin currently held the highest position in the company, but even he didn’t know how the company ca to be.
Wen Xishu stated:
"As far as I know, this place should be... the Land of Obsession. You shouldn’t be the real you either, but rather the you within the Obsession World."
Qilin seed surprised.
This Wen Xishu truly deserved to bear the Lion Heart Brand.
"I indeed am Qilin, the you see is what you think of as from the Desire Tower."
"I know, according to your understanding, I am in the Deceit Tower, I am an obsession, an alternate world , but Wen Xishu, I am not like that."
"My ability is akin to a downgraded version of Capricorn’s ability; I can enter the Deceit Tower world to hide myself."
"I can also secretly bring people into the Deceit Tower world."
"It’s precisely because I have this ability that I could be... chosen by the Three Towers Company."
"I was the first employee of the Three Towers Company, and then ca from Deceit One to Gua Shisan."
"And they were all brought inside by using the authorization of the Three Towers Company. Or rather, recruited inside."
"Of course, not only them, those are the core employees, the special action team; I also recruit so people for odd jobs."
"Simply put, you can regard the Three Towers Company as a real existence. It’s an organization that should have been famously renowned in the real world but got hidden into the Obsession World."
"We serve the future God."
Wen Xishu inquired:
"How do you serve?"
Next, Qilin’s words gave Wen Xishu quite a shock:
"You co from the Bunker, which ans you travel from the real world to the Obsession World."
"And once you join the Three Towers Company and beco a mber of the special action team... you’ll be heading to the real world."
So, I’m just moving from the Deceit Tower to the Desire Tower? How is this different from an invitation letter?
But Qilin seed to know what Wen Xishu was thinking; he quickly supplented:
"It’s not like you Bunker People imagine, not like you think, going to the Desire Tower."
"Going to the Desire Tower indeed ans heading to the real world."
"However, you should know, going to the Desire Tower happens before the apocalypse arrives. Or shortly after it arrives."
Qilin’s eyes locked onto Wen Xishu, and after a brief pause, he slowly said:
"But the Three Towers Company will send you from the Obsession World to the tiline of the Three-Tower Battlefield."
"In other words, as a Bunker person, once you join our company, you’ll receive a new series of assignnts—going to the actual Three-Tower Battlefield to find the Obsessed."
"You must understand, normally, you don’t have the opportunity, don’t have the qualification to go to the tiline of the Three Towers War."
"Bunker People, you are not in the sa space-ti with the real Three Towers War world, are you aware of this?"
Wen Xishu was well aware,
Just like not long ago, he agreed with Liu Jianxin to et again in the Jianghu. But when that actual day of reunion arrives, it will likely be many years later for Liu Jianxin.
Tang Rui, Jack Jennifer, An Family Brothers, Xiaoxing Xiaotong, Horn, and so on...
These people, it will take a long ti to see them again. And they might never be seen.
Currently, it’s speculated that reaching the hundredth floor in the tower is required to enter the Three Towers War.
But that is only speculation. The secrets of the hundredth floor can likely only be unraveled by Albert.
But once entering the task of the Three Towers Company...
It’s entirely different; one becos both a participant and a reforr and creator of the future.
That equals advancing the journey to participate in the Three Towers War.
The employee benefits, or rather, the privileges, made Wen Xishu slightly tempted.
However, in an instant, many questions arose:
"What does entering the real world of the Three Towers War to search for the Obsessed an?"
"And is there anything to take note of when entering the real world in such a manner?"
"Also, as a Bunker person, does this conflict with my usual tower climbing?"
