Three Towers Game-Chapter 698 - 203: Wen Huo’s Deduction
Horn's personality was indeed pretty likable to Wen Xishu, it gave him a feeling of regret for not meeting him sooner.
Wen Xishu said:
"Did you hear any strange noises just now?"
Horn shook his head:
"No."
Wen Xishu was astonished:
"No?"
Horn seemed a bit surprised:
"It seems like there's another clue that only you can perceive?"
Wen Xishu was curious about the term "external clues".
"Why do you call it external clues?"
Horn said:
"Although it's not good to be overly self-centered, in the process of solving troublesome events, I think of myself as a player."
"This way, if there's information that doesn't belong to me, I consider it external information."
Wen Xishu really liked this answer.
The sky was gradually clearing up. As Wen Xishu, under Horn's control, defeated the Sea Beast, the Sea Beasts in the distance also disappeared.
But Mia beside them was still chanting the sentence she had been muttering not long ago.
Moreover, that feeling of being locked onto by something hadn't disappeared.
"So, he is a woman."
After defeating the Sea Beast, Wen Xishu was gradually recalling some things.
Some obvious features of women began to become clear in his memory.
Horn said:
"In Longxia, there's an interesting saying I like, called Yin and Yang."
"It seems now, this world does have Yin and Yang. Men generally present the Yang aspect, and women generally present the Yin aspect. Of course, it's not absolute, but the world always strives for a balance of Yin and Yang."
"Once there is no Yin, the Yang actually becomes unbalanced too."
"Fortunately, we have temporarily preserved this concept. But it seems like the monsters will appear again."
The Sea Beast won't die, it will continue to evolve and grow stronger.
However, after killing the Sea Beast, it seems it won't reappear for a while.
"We need to find a safe place. If the Sea Beast appears again, it might become very troublesome." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The Sea Beast is like some sort of correction mechanism.
As Wen Xishu and others retrieved lost concepts, it was like a bug in this world.
The force to kill the bug might not be strong initially, but it would get stronger and more exaggerated each time.
Horn nodded, even though he didn't know where they should hide, he felt they should at least leave this place first.
So Wen Xishu again carried a person, pushed another, and Horn placed a person on his numb legs, and they started their journey.
"Survive twenty-four hours, and once we return to the Ark, many problems might find answers." Wen Xishu thought.
As for Mia, Wen Xishu tried to seal her mouth.
He had a feeling that Mia's incessant chanting mouth seemed like some sort of signal transmitter, allowing the Sea Beast to locate them.
Interestingly, once Wen Xishu blocked Mia's mouth, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Both felt they could finally stop thinking about "women".
Horn and Wen Xishu weren't easily influenced by external factors, but the mention of lost concepts always easily interrupted their thoughts.
Mia, who seemed to be awake, fell into a coma again once her mouth was blocked.
This scene made Horn click his tongue in amazement.
Horn hadn't forgotten Wen Xishu's initial question either.
"What sound did you hear?"
Wen Xishu answered truthfully:
"Someone is calling for help. He told me the next island is crucial, that we must enter the next island."
If it wasn't Wen Xishu saying this, Horn would think the other person was lying.
But now Horn listened carefully, he frowned:
"Go on."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"At first, this person didn't call for help. He just told me that the Sea Beast is hard to kill, it keeps evolving."
"But at least my speed is fast, fast enough that the Sea Beast has trouble locking onto us."
"And as I defeated the Sea Beast, it seemed he had different expectations of me."
"He began to call for help."
Horn seemed to realize something, his expression grew more serious:
"Go on, go on, what critical words did he say?"
The words "critical words" made Wen Xishu realize the problem.
Sirius?
No, that's not crucial, at least not for Horn and the others.
Wen Xishu immediately thought:
"He said he was in the Ark."
Horn immediately shouted to stop:
"Stop, stop! Stop right here."
Wen Xishu stopped pushing the wheelchair, and Horn closed his eyes to think.
After all, Horn knew more information than Wen Xishu.
But Horn wasn't just thinking, he began to recount many fragmentary pieces of information.
"The Ark, Ability User, continuously sacrificed people, energy, normal seas, Sea of Evil, fragments of Evil Land, sea beast invasion... stopped on an island."
"You were on an island, and you heard a distress call from someone claiming to be from the Ark! No, not from the Ark, but that person is still in the Ark."
"I seem to have a clue now. But I need someone to review it with me."
Horn and Wen Xishu exchanged a glance, both thinking of the same thing. Soon, they began to construct possibilities.
Horn said:
"Shall we piece together a story? By the way, we can continue moving now."
Wen Xishu nodded: started pushing the wheelchair again, while saying:
"You start?"
Horn said:
"There was a very powerful Ability User in the Ark, extremely powerful. This Ability User was somehow imprisoned in the Ark."
Wen Xishu couldn't help but remark:
"Your storytelling pace is too fast. Straight to the climax?"
