But unfortunately, deep down, he didnât agree with John.
"But the key to this game isnât really about John, itâs about Scorpio. John is indeed pure, and people like him are easily guided or used."
"But the real challenge is whether I can persuade Scorpio. And whether I have the qualifications to discuss philosophy with him."
"I need to find a way to get Scorpio... to recognize me."
At this moment, Scorpio responded:
"Of course, brother, if you agree with me, then we are on the same path, arenât we? Especially since you have also received the approval of the knife."
"I like making friends and collecting dogs. I have plenty of dogs, but not many friends."
"My brothers and sisters have different abilities, and they are very dangerous. The more friends you have, the more options you have, right, brother?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Letâs play a game."
Playing a game was something that Scorpio couldnât refuse. Scorpioâs eyes lit up immediately:
"What kind of game?"
Wen Xishu remained calm: "I agree with what you said. I believe that someone like John is pure in the game. I also know that he despises those who ruin the purity of the game. But letâs play a game where you act as the defender, and I act as the attacker."
Scorpio found it interesting:
"How do we defend and how do we attack?"
"It depends on whether you can achieve this, using Johnâs heart as the battlefield. Letâs verify if someone as pure as John has really stopped struggling and accepted his own theory. I will shake him, and you will solidify him."
Wen Xishu paused slightly, with a provocative posture:
"As a god, are you not afraid of me?"
Scorpio grinned, smiling happily:
"Brother, I like everyone who plays games with me. So, letâs read the save file. Letâs go to cg15. Iâll give you a chance to change John."
But Scorpioâs smile suddenly disappeared:
"But brother, playing games with me always comes at a price. If you lose, then the Compass in your hand will be mine."
Wen Xishu was stunned, not expecting his pseudo-fate Compass to be targeted.
Wen Xishu hesitated... If he failed, would this bet change history to some extent?
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:
"You could just take it by force."
Scorpio shook his head:
"Brother, I said, Iâm not your enemy. We havenât held grudges against each other yet. If I want to take your things, I will use what I consider the kindest way."
"Do you want to continue playing this game with me?"
Wen Xishu no longer hesitated:
"Alright, letâs start."
Scorpio smiled again and snapped his fingers:
"Brother, youâre great!"
...
...
cg15.
The appearance of the miracle made John realize that his life seemed to have taken a magical turn.
The god of the game had descended. He would, like himself, punish all those who made the game impure.
The purest game in his heart would manifest in reality. The most authentic game in this world was about to be born.
Doomsday was approaching, and everyone would become part of the game. No one could interfere with his game anymore.
But Catherineâs appearance, that sincere apology and pleading, made John hesitate. John ultimately compromised and gave Catherine a safe coordinate, an expression of his love for her.
At this moment, Scorpio appeared before John with that "future document," strengthening Johnâs belief in these peopleâs distorted actions in the game.
It was at this moment that John made his final decision. He would become the pure defender of the game.
The story seemed to be set in stone here.
But now, under Scorpioâs miraculous power, the game reset.
And this time, unlike before, Wen Xishu appeared before John.
"Can I sit next to you, John?"
"Who are you?"
"Someone like you, who once looked forward to âDoomsday.â No, I need to rephrase that accurately, someone who once looked forward to âDoomsday.â"
At this time, Scorpio was also beside John. Scorpio was very curious about what Wen Xishu would do.
When John heard "Doomsday," his first reaction was the game "Doomsday," not the actual apocalypse.
Wen Xishu knew that to move John, he had to reveal something Scorpio didnât know.
The only thing Scorpio didnât know was the timeline.
"The first mission, you taught me to be ruthless in the doomsday game. When faced with the pleas of a mother and daughter, I didnât accept their mission. I chose to reunite their family in death. I looted, I killed, but I knew it was the right thing to do."
John was stunned.
This indeed was content from "Doomsday," but it had been vetoed by his old mentor, who was now the gameâs planner for "Doomsday."
The reason was that it would corrupt the children and wouldnât pass the review. The only ones who knew about this mission were the development team members.
"The second mission, I found supplies in the home of Duan Donghuo, your neighbor from an Eastern country, right here. I successfully used Duan Donghuoâs weakness for women, feigning weakness myself, to lure him to the pavilion. While he was distracted, I killed him."
"At that time, I thought, âThis gameâs tone is really dark. Does the game producer really want to bring joy to the players?â"
John was no longer stunned but looked at Wen Xishu in shock. Because this was Johnâs internal monologue...
