Three Towers Game

Chapter 1436: Chapter 460: Desire Demon Ning Shu (Part 2)

Of course, Wen Xishu didn’t know any of this.

But Wen Xishu knew one thing: abilities were often tied to a person’s own trajectory of fate. Ning Shu’s ten-day "behavior journey" had been about fulfilling ten wishes for passersby.

So it was very likely that Ning Shu’s ability had something to do with wishes.

"Originally, I didn’t want to trouble you. After all, at this stage, you’ve only just discovered your abilities and are still in the development phase—you’re still very weak."

"It’s just that this time I really have no other way, because the enemy I need to defeat is far too good at hiding."

Jin Yiming grew more and more excited:

"We can help you, but... for certain reasons, we really do need to verify your identity. Please hold on a bit, I need to contact Ning Shu."

"If you really are Wen Xishu, we’ll definitely help you."

Wen Xishu had no objections and nodded calmly.

These words actually also confirmed his guesses about Ning Shu.

This girl who fulfilled ten acts for passersby would, on the support side, definitely have a very powerful ability.

Before long, Jin Yiming received Ning Shu’s reply:

"In your conversation today with the unknown person, you won’t receive any lies. My ability is limited, I can only give you this one wish—for now the other party won’t be able to lie to you."

"But they can still hide things from you. Also, the price is... you might encounter a fraud sometime soon. Or something even worse. Sorry about that."

By making a wish to Ning Shu, Jin Yiming ensured he wouldn’t receive any lies, and then used that to verify Wen Xishu’s words.

Very quickly, Jin Yiming came rushing over to Wen Xishu’s side:

"Are you really Wen Xishu?"

"Of course, I’m Wen Xishu, without a doubt." Wen Xishu felt that Jin Yiming’s expression looked a bit strange.

Like he was testing something.

He immediately guessed it—this was a lie test? Interesting. He became even more convinced of his guess about Ning Shu.

Jin Yiming was thrilled:

"That’s great! Thank you for helping us. With someone like you, overthrowing the conglomerate rule will only be a matter of time!"

Wen Xishu wanted to say yes.

But he suddenly realized that this actually gave him a sense of danger.

At that moment, the Scorpion Knife suddenly detected damage.

Wen Xishu understood. It seemed that if he spoke on instinct, he would expose his true intentions.

Obviously, Wen Xishu hadn’t yet reached the point of launching a crusade against the conglomerate boss An Rongzai. In fact, they had even formed a cooperative relationship.

"Looks like I can’t deceive him! I have to watch what I say—I can’t just say whatever lines up with the target anymore..."

Wen Xishu smiled and chose to change the subject:

"Right now I need to deal with a monster called the Cosmetic Surgery Family. Have you heard of it?"

Jin Yiming was slightly surprised:

"I’ve heard of it, but I always thought it was fake. They say it’s a monster that can change its appearance?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"Not just that."

Wen Xishu truthfully described all the abilities the Cosmetic Surgery Family had shown so far, leaving Jin Yiming so frightened his heart was pounding.

"There’s a force in Jicheng even more evil than An Rongzai! That’s terrifying. I always thought that evil old man was the scariest one."

"We’ve always felt that the Sin Eater was just a scapegoat for An Rongzai."

Wen Xishu felt like he was the person at the intersection of all these forces. He still had An Rongzai’s black card in his pocket as he listened to Jin Yiming’s evaluation of An Rongzai.

And, it had to be said, with a top-tier support like Ning Shu around, this group of people probably wouldn’t take long to uncover the truth behind everything.

Taking that into account, Wen Xishu said:

"Right now I probably can’t lie to you, can I?"

Jin Yiming’s face flushed red:

"Yes, sorry, we had to use this method to test you."

Wen Xishu said:

"It’s fine. Next I’m going to tell you some things about you all. These are things I originally saw—your fates. It’s just that those fates have been altered because of my appearance."

Wen Xishu then went on to describe the fates of Jin Yiming, Bai Xu, Ning Shu, and even Jiang Chengzheng.

After listening, Jin Yiming was filled with gratitude:

"So that’s how it is."

Wen Xishu said:

"It’s not that I need your thanks. It’s just that as you keep growing in the future, you may discover some secrets, but please believe this: I really have... changed your fates in a positive way. We are not enemies."

Jin Yiming still couldn’t really understand these words:

"What are you talking about? You definitely aren’t our enemy. Just tell us what you need us to do."

"Do you want us to help you judge and execute the Cosmetic Surgery Family?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"The Cosmetic Surgery Family is too dangerous. I don’t want to drag you in. At this stage you’re still not strong enough."

"However, I do need help from one of you—Ning Shu."

"I need Ning Shu to fulfill a wish for me."

Jin Yiming said decisively:

"No problem, I’ll contact Ning Shu right away."

Jin Yiming was extremely efficient. The entire Sin Judgment Court became very excited when they learned that Wen Xishu had appeared.

Before long, Ning Shu arrived, a slim girl with a smile on her face.

Because of Wen Xishu’s intervention, all ten wishes had ended up full of kindness, and with the emergence of the Sin Judgment Court... Ning Shu was no longer that person who once felt utter despair at life.

The girl now had light in her eyes. She had gained a more positive and sunny understanding of the world.

It was just that she still looked too thin.

Jin Yiming was basically in charge of combat, while Ning Shu served as the support for the Sin Judgment Court.

In the small eatery, quite a few diners were surprised that table eight actually had three people this time.

"I feel like we’ve met before." Ning Shu said with a smile.

Wen Xishu said:

"You and I have indeed met, but you’ve never seen me. All right, Ning Shu, can you tell me what your ability is?"

Ning Shu nodded:

"I can make small changes to people’s fates, create some coincidences, and fulfill some simple wishes for people."

"It costs me a lot of energy to do that."

Wen Xishu said:

"So that’s why you’re this thin, huh."

Ning Shu immediately waved her hands:

"Don’t worry about me, I’m willing to help you. Since Heaven gave me this kind of ability, I feel like not using it would be a waste. Also, I have to remind you: the price for fulfilling a wish will often force you to make some kind of fate correction."

"For example, Jin Yiming won’t hear any lies today, but correspondingly, he’ll later encounter a fraud."

"If you find someone through me today, then afterward you might temporarily lose the ability to find people."

"Or you might be found by some enemy. Are you sure... you still want to make a wish through me?"

Wen Xishu wasn’t afraid of losing his ability to find someone for a short time.

But being found by someone...

That was indeed something that worried him a bit.

He always felt like there were still many people who were eager to find him.

Up to now, Taurus, Libra, and Cancer were still very mysterious; he couldn’t figure out their stance, and in all likelihood they were enemies.

Not to mention, Qing had just recently tried to assassinate him. That meant that back in the Three-Tower Battlefield era, he had already come under the gaze of the Outer Gods.

"Yes. I’ll bear that price myself. One way or another, I need to kill the Cosmetic Surgery Family. If I don’t manage to kill it this time, I have no idea how strong it might grow in the future."

"My wish is for me to be able to find it."

Ning Shu asked:

"According to what you said... even if you find it, it might still escape, right? Have you thought about changing your wish?"

"For example, wishing that it can’t escape."

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"Just being able to find it is enough. I’m not worried about the backlash from the wish, I’m worried about you. If I can find it, that means I can seize the initiative. If even then I still can’t kill it..."

"Then that proves that, at my current stage, I really don’t yet have the ability to kill it. In that case, I’ll just have to accept it."

Ning Shu hadn’t expected that Wen Xishu would actually restrain his wish for her sake.

She had always wanted to thank Wen Xishu. In the process of fulfilling others’ wishes, she had felt goodwill, and this particular wish of Wen Xishu’s made her feel respected, and that there was justice in the world.

"All right... let me help you. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you fulfill your wish."

Ning Shu clearly wanted to do more to help Wen Xishu. There was resolve in her eyes—the resolve to fulfill the wish even if it meant exhausting herself and being left completely drained.
