Three Towers Game

When Wen Xishu and Mariko were alone in the room, he had no intention of challenging the stern review. But Mariko kept posing.

Wen Xishu felt like he had bought a peacock that was now showing off its feathers to its owner.

Fortunately, the TV in the room turned on soon after.

This scene startled Mariko.

Wen Xishu noticed Mariko's reaction.

Why... would Mariko be afraid of the TV?

The TV did indeed turn on suddenly, but that shouldn't be enough to scare her.

Wen Xishu had discovered earlier that the TV was broken; the remote couldn't turn it on, and neither could the buttons.

But now, the TV turned on by itself.

The image on the TV was of a girl being... brutally assaulted.

Her face was indistinct, but she had long hair.

"Her hair is as long as yours," Wen Xishu said.

Mariko trembled, and her facial expression began to look strange, as if she were frightened yet dazed.

"But her face is beaten beyond recognition... it shouldn't be you, right?"

This remark seemed to make Mariko feel a lot better; she finally managed to smile, but when she looked at Wen Xishu, her gaze was chilling.

The image on the TV began to flicker, and a distorted voice came out.

[Some of them are missing genitalia.]

This comment was very odd...

Mariko, in a light and airy tone, said:

"Lord God, it is said... that people who turn into monsters..."

"They don't have genitals. So, you can take a look at me... I do have genitals."

Mariko parted her legs slightly, seeming to want to prove something, her face full of allure, but Wen Xishu abruptly said:

"The information might be false."

This immediately halted Mariko's actions. Wen Xishu said:

"Humans don't need to prove they are humans, understood?"

Mariko nodded a little confusedly:

"I... I got it."

Wen Xishu had a very strange feeling; Mariko seemed human, but also like one of those... monsters with regressive intelligence.

It was very odd.

Was it just a coincidence earlier?

Was she trying to prove herself? Or was she testing me?

If Mariko is a monster, is she lurking here to draw lust from me? And... is the image on the TV implying something?

The knocking on the door interrupted Wen Xishu's thoughts. The second visitor had arrived.

Thump thump thump thump, very urgent knocking.

Wen Xishu quickly went to the door and started observing through the peephole.

The third knocker was someone who looked like a high school student wearing glasses. He was wearing a short sleeve, exuding an athletic and healthy aura.

"Quick... quick, open the door! They are coming! Open the door!!"

"Turn around."

"Thank God! There's really someone! There's really someone! I'm Takahashi Fumihiko, I'm human! I swear I'm human!" Takahashi Fumihiko shouted excitedly.

Takahashi Fumihiko turned around once.

From his appearance, Takahashi Fumihiko didn't seem to have any problems; the glasses made him look quite elegant, like a very well-behaved, sports-loving high school student.

Wen Xishu asked:

"Why are you here?"

Takahashi Fumihiko was briefly stunned:

"Can you let me in first and then I'll explain?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"You need to answer the question first. Why are you here?"

Takahashi Fumihiko explained:

"We don't dare go out during the day; the sun will... mutate us. I can only go out at night. The windows in my previous place weren't locked properly. I don't dare go back!"

"Let me in first! I'll tell you whatever you want to know! But you need to let me in first!"

Letting him in was actually an option too.

Wen Xishu had concluded a pattern: if a monster looks human, it means it's in hibernation.

As long as their number doesn't exceed three... he can kill them.

But he currently had someone inside, so he wasn't in a hurry; he no longer felt the urgency of "living alone means death," so he could choose not to let anyone in.

Wen Xishu said:

"Since you mentioned it's dangerous during the day and sunlight can mutate you, why mention that a window wasn't properly closed?"

In fact, Takahashi Fumihiko's logic was much better than Takahashi Mariko's.

But unfortunately, Takahashi Mariko was the first visitor who looked human.

Wen Xishu needed to solve the problem of living alone.

Otherwise, Takahashi Mariko wouldn't have been let in.

Takahashi Fumihiko said:

"It was because of the talismans; we didn't stick the talismans properly... At first, we just used black cloth to cover that place."

"But we didn't expect... that place became a weak point. The monsters found it..."

"Most of my companions are already dead! Let me in quickly!"

"Monsters don't move during the day?" Wen Xishu continued to ask slowly.

At this point, Takahashi Fumihiko suddenly became angry:

"Are you not planning to let us in at all?"

"Us? Besides you, who else is there?" Wen Xishu asked.

Takahashi Fumihiko was furious:

"Damn it! Let me in quickly! My time is running out! Not much longer! Why do you have so many questions?"

Wen Xishu responded with an oh:

"I see, your time is running out, so, do the monsters move during the day?"

Takahashi Fumihiko's eyes were red:

"They do... they move! They've mutated, the sunlight doesn't affect them, but during the day they aren't allowed to knock on doors!"

"Hurry, let me in!"

Wen Xishu said:

"You're very irritable. I'm sorry, but you can't come in. Thank you for answering my questions."

In truth, Wen Xishu hadn't refused yet.

But at this moment, Takahashi Fumihiko's eyes widened, and he pressed his eyes directly against the peephole:
