Three Towers Game

”I actually don’t dislike you. Your abilities are far stronger than I expected. So... don’t turn yourself into a synonym for evil.”

The image of the Aquarius girl, combined with her crying posture, made Wen Xishu feel some pity.

On a whim, he really acted like an older brother and tousled Aquarius’s hair.

But Aquarius was just a shadow, naturally untouchable.

Yet, strangely, even though the favorability level was the lowest with Wen Xishu among the constellations...

Aquarius didn’t resist the action. Instead... her head tilted slightly.

She immediately realized this seemed very wrong, having longed for her siblings to treat her this way.

But in reality, her brothers and sisters only wanted to kill her.

She quickly became aware of this, a bit angry:

”Arguing! Arguing! Why do you care about what I do? I don’t need your care! I really dislike you! I’m so mad! I’m going to turn Charlie into a bad guy! I’m definitely going to make Charlie become a bad guy!”

Wen Xishu didn’t say much about this. If she really had that ability, she wouldn’t be using this meeting to recruit him.

So in the end, Wen Xishu just waved to Aquarius.

”Goodbye.”

The conversation with Aquarius ended.

Soon, it was the turn of the last constellation.

Pisces.

As soon as Pisces took the stage, Wen Xishu instinctively looked at Pisces’s legs, hmm... indeed, not much could be seen.

”Charlie also has a part of the temporal ability, not strong, but intriguing to me.”

”He can trap himself in a time loop.”

”I’ve seen Charlie’s future, he will be redeemed but not the perfect redemption. He’ll eventually overcome the pain of losing Anya and emerge from his suffering.”

”Logically, he should have fallen, but your appearance has altered his life.”

Pisces spoke a lot in one breath, unlike others who invited Wen Xishu, Pisces directly shared the observation results.

Wen Xishu was puzzled:

”So... if you’ve seen the future, why do you still need to waste words?”

Pisces explained:

”Virgin, Gemini, their actions resonate most with your disposition. They both appear weak due to holding onto certain things. Of course, Gemini is weak due to losing important authority.”

”As for you, I need to verify something. I create Destructive to prevent history from being seen.”

”Only I should know about seeing through history.”

”But recently, I realized something. Wen Xishu, your identity is not simple, it seems you can change a future I thought was already certain.”

”Logically, I should find a way to eliminate someone like you.”

Indeed, Pisces should kill him. After all, every future Pisces saw was accurate until he appeared from Evil Land.

But since Pisces said this, it showed she didn’t want to kill him.

Wen Xishu immediately understood:

”You’re dissatisfied with several futures. You want to use me to change them.”

Pisces said:

”You’re very clever, clever enough to make me increasingly want to kill you. I don’t actually despise you much, but seeing you close to Scorpio, I just feel you’re a threat.”

Wen Xishu responded:

”Whoever helps me, I get close to.”

Pisces understood the meaning conveyed by this statement.

”In one’s life, the margin for error is quite large. Even someone like Charlie can grow and rise above past failures.”

”But I think, you surely desire a better result. Now, I’m going to offer you such a result. Don’t worry, it doesn’t contradict Gemini’s and Virgin’s expectations. It’s a win-win-win... no, a four-win option.”

A seal suddenly appeared in Pisces’s hand.

From a distance, it looked like a Taiji pattern; up close, it turned out to be Yin-Yang Pisces.

”This is a Time Annotation. If you use it on the invitation, it lets you return to the most... crucial point. The time value is set by you, it’s something you couldn’t achieve even by using all your Luck Value.”

”Consider it a gift, given to you.”

Wen Xishu asked:

”The price?”

Pisces replied:

”It’s akin to Scorpio’s dagger, Taurus’s horns, Libra’s balance. You can choose not to use it, but if you also want to redeem Anya, you want Charlie’s life to have worthwhile things to protect. Keeping him kind but making him resiliently strong...”

”Then don’t refuse me.”

He couldn’t really refuse.

Wen Xishu accepted the Time Annotation, thought about it, and said to Pisces:

”Thank you.”

Pisces said:

”You owe me a favor, so you must repay me with a future. Goodbye.”

Pisces disappeared.

All Twelve Constellations were asked, but what Wen Xishu didn’t expect...

Impressions of the constellation with the lowest favorability didn’t seem overly hostile due to low favorability.

Even with Aquarius, Wen Xishu didn’t feel terribly angry while chatting.

At one point, he even thought the other side was a child holding great powers of good and evil but somewhat misguided.

”I seem to... have an unusual familiarity with these constellations.”

Shaking his head, Wen Xishu returned to the meeting room.

He had to make his choice, to save Charlie.
