Chapter 214 - 98: I Shall Create a Deceit Tower Level
A series of questions drew everyone’s attention to Wen Xishu. Although Granny Wu and the others were also listening, they were merely astonished by Ding Dong’s bizarre background and unique experiences.
Simultaneously, they were left perplexed, whereas Wen Xishu’s questions made them realize the crucial parts of Ding Dong’s stories.
Ding Dong wasn’t surprised that Wen Xishu would ask these questions, nor did he avoid them.
"Actually, to be precise, I am Ding Dong now. I wasn’t Ding Dong before; Ding Dong is a nickname my father gave me."
"My real name used to be Phoenix."
Noticing that Wen Xishu wasn’t that surprised, Ding Dong began to ponder Wen Xishu’s true identity.
He knew that "the Plane" had completed the ritual, enabling him to achieve his transformation. Ding Dong, now possessing the "Five ※", naturally felt grateful to "the Plane".
At the same time, Ding Dong also recognized the little knife with a scorpion pattern tucked at Wen Xishu’s waist. Throughout his storytelling, Ding Dong’s gaze almost never left Wen Xishu. He deliberately recounted his past experiences at the research institute to observe Wen Xishu’s reactions.
He didn’t detect any hostility from Wen Xishu, leading Ding Dong to make a friendly guess about Wen Xishu’s identity. He continued:
"I will first talk about the way to break the curse. It’s quite simple; I needed to ’die’ once."
"In my earlier accounts, there were twelve severe cases and five mild cases. The five of us mild cases were actually the prey."
"We had to constantly hide from the twelve severe cases. Unfortunately, they found me. The Compass gave me that dream, and I used it to simulate nine hundred and seven times. The result was that I couldn’t escape death. The power gap between us was too vast."
