Chapter 1240: Chapter 390: The Overlooked Girl_2
Wen Xishu skillfully began to create the third antagonist.
This time, he sat at the console, deftly operating it.
[Please select the target gender.]
Without hesitation, Wen Xishu chose female.
Sure enough, the girl’s voice on the electronic screen started to sound expectant:
"Hey, sister, are you going to create another poor girl? Don’t try to save her; that’s not what she wants. Horrors should wreak havoc, and if redeemed, they’ll only end up as discarded filth."
Tang Rui really wanted to speak, to ask this girl what she wanted to do.
But for now, Wen Xishu was the protagonist.
Wen Xishu didn’t ask much either and quickly began choosing other information.
For the first choice, he selected A: The girl’s father always gets along well with neighbors.
Then, the following deduction is made:
[The girl’s father knew his wife was having an affair with the neighbor next door, but to plead with her to stay, he always turned a blind eye. Sometimes, he tactfully found excuses to go out, giving his wife and the neighbor time together.]
[The girl unlocked the trait: Integration.]
After setting the family’s background, it soon came to the main event.
That is, the childhood experience of the girl.
[Please choose Jiang Kenren’s childhood experiences (multiple selections allowed).]
[Experience 1: Jiang Kenren was very popular and had several times more fatherly love than others.]
[Experience 2: Jiang Kenren had a talented mother who always helped her establish good relationships.]
[Experience 3: Jiang Kenren’s teacher paid a lot of attention to her and treated her with special care.]
[Experience 4: Jiang Kenren’s younger siblings were particularly keen on her.]
"The second option from the last round became the third option this round... just a change of name, nothing else."
Tang Rui’s voice appeared in Wen Xishu’s mind.
Wen Xishu also felt like he guessed it right, and this time, Tang Rui noticed something amiss.
That option appeared again.
The other three options are actually the same thing.
Jiang Kenren’s mother is a... a woman very skilled at seducing men. Meanwhile, Jiang Kenren’s trait is "Integration."
This skill presumably allows Jiang Kenren to blend into many families.
Therefore, Jiang Kenren has "multiple times the fatherly love" because her fathers are many, and naturally, her mother uses her body to help Jiang Kenren get into various prestigious schools.
Correspondingly, having so many fathers also means having many siblings.
So, the other three options are essentially the same thing, with only Experience 3 being the one Wen Xishu most values.
Because Experience 3 is identical to Jiang Zhaonan’s childhood Experience 2 from the previous round.
Wen Xishu decisively chose this one.
Soon after, unsurprisingly, both Wen Xishu and Tang Rui saw Jiang Kenren’s tragic childhood experience, a poor girl encountering a beast-like tutor.
Tang Rui had actually experienced this.
She claims to have let it go, but the scars inside will remain forever. Sometimes, while strolling in Jiangcheng during rainy nights, memories flood back.
A feeling that no matter how long this rain falls, it can never wash away the filth.
No girl could truly let go of such a past.
The electronic screen transmitted the girl’s laughter:
"Sister, you didn’t avoid this option? Seems like you really forgot."
Tang Rui did not respond, nor did Wen Xishu.
But Wen Xishu already began to communicate with Tang Rui through mixed emotions.
"Tang Rui... I already have the answer."
Next, they actually need to conduct a third round of selection, but after choosing the second round, Wen Xishu’s heart was already set.
He believed in his speculation.
"What answer?" Tang Rui puzzled.
"I know who this girl is. The last character in Jiang Yaozu’s ’rev’ was indeed revenge. He turned into a monster and became a horror tale, yet he still received teacher’s recognition. He was grateful to us. In his final self-explosion, he desperately uttered this word."
"Revenge."
Tang Rui was still confused:
"Is it revenge against me? Is the girl hiding behind the scenes a relative of someone I killed?"
Wen Xishu slowly shook his head:
"No, it’s not. Actually, she’s unrelated to you. If you must say there’s a connection, both you and I have met her and helped her."
"Think back carefully to that rainy night, we went to a place together and killed that beast who bullied you years ago."
"At that time, there was indeed another person present."
Outside, the heavy rain suddenly brought a thunderous storm.
This thunder came cleverly, like a deliberate reminder.
Tang Rui suddenly felt a hint of fear.
For someone like her from Slaughter Tower, although that rainstorm was never forgotten, it was indeed so long ago.
But she realized at this moment, she just remembered one thing.
Yes, during that rainstorm, there was a girl.
On that rainy night, someone was shivering and seeking shelter in the underground garage, someone was fleeing in a panic at the subway station, blankets rolled up...
Like Yan Zhihai, lying on the terrace of his villa, listening to the rain under a large outdoor umbrella.
Tang Rui remembered, all of it.
At that time, her attention was only on Yan Zhihai, the person who insulted her years ago. That night, she was an avenger.
But that night, she wasn’t alone. In fact, the moment she rushed to the scene...
At the moment the lightning struck, beside Yan Zhihai there was indeed a trembling, terrified little girl.
