Chapter 227: The Criminal Conspiracy of the First Killer
Chapter 227: The Criminal Plot of the First Killer
Evelyn sighed:
"Actually, I shouldn't tell you this, Albert. Old Jin has been telling me not to say it."
Wen Xishu said:
"This... do I need to avoid it?"
Evelyn shook her head.
"Let's go to the academy first."
Albert didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was anxious.
Albert really cared about Mr. King.
This friend is actually very mysterious.
Mr. Jin unified the language of the bunker, unified the currency of the bunker, and unified various systems of the bunker.
In a sense, Mr. King was the former bunker leader and Albert was the latecomer.
In Albert's eyes, Mr. Jin in the early days was like a demigod.
Climbing the tower has always been the fastest way to complete level advancement.
Before the Ghost Tower appeared, Mr. Jin was like a superman. At that time, since the Ghost Tower did not exist, the Killing Tower was a symbol of death.
People are afraid to face the Slaughter Tower, but Mr. Jin is completely different.
Albert remembered that Lao Jin had gone against all odds and arranged for many people to climb the Killing Tower, forcing many people to climb the Killing Tower...
It was also at that time that the rich and powerful could climb the tower of desire, which seemed reasonable to Albert.
Because the poor have only one way to get promoted - risking their lives.
Once the military merit system is in place, more people will naturally climb the Slaughter Tower.
In short, Mr. Jin kept climbing the tower and left everyone behind, and Mr. Jin also brought back facilities of various levels.
There was only one person who could keep up with him, and that was Alberto Napolitano.
Albert at that time was a pure genius. There were many people around Mr. Jin, but only Albert could attract his attention.
Albert also remembered what Mr. King said:
"I can only be responsible for the early stage, but you can be responsible for the middle stage... No, maybe you can do better. Your talent is much better than mine, Albert. You are a gift from God to mankind."
Mr. King is indeed right.
He and Albert, like the two heroes of the era, climbed the tower like crazy.
Albert relied on his extraordinary talents, fighting talents and learning talents.
Mr. Jin, on the other hand, seemed to have powerful means from the beginning.
Although the two did not start from the same starting point, Albert was always able to follow Mr. King's footsteps.
When they reached the ninetieth floor, a true chasm and watershed, Albert became the only person who could travel with Mr. Jin.
That was many years ago.
Albert couldn't help but reminisce about those days. He had finally caught up with the gap between the two and was finally able to fight alongside Lao Jin.
But after the 90th floor... Lao Jin started to become more and more negative.
As Lao Jin forcibly carried several of his old subordinates over the 90th floor... Lao Jin himself became more and more negative, as if he was avoiding something.
Finally one day, the five elders appeared in the bunker, but the original emperor disappeared.
Albert, just as Mr. King predicted, held up the mid-term without him.
Albert even managed to hold on until the later stages.
Sometimes Albert wondered...
He may be stronger than Lao Jin, but in his heart he still misses that omnipotent person who has to realize all his talents in order to catch up.
……
……
The Three Pagodas Academy is a forbidden area in the Desire Pagoda area.
After everyone went to see the sea, Santa Academy became quiet.
In the forbidden area, not a single sound of students playing could be heard.
Albert, Wen Xishu, and Evelyn were sitting in a triangle formation.
It was the first time for Wen Xishu to be in this place with these two true number one men in the bunker.
He suddenly realized...
Isn’t this the conversation between the three number one figures in the Tower of Weirdness, the Tower of Desire, and the Tower of Slaughter?
Evelyn also noticed this.
Evelin glanced at Wen Xishu:
"It's really interesting. Who would have thought that the one catching up with us would be such a young man."
Evelin naturally admired Wen Xishu.
Combined with what Albert had talked about in the elevator before, Wen Xishu also understood how powerful Evelyn was.
The Tower of Desire and the Tower of Slaughter are not the same thing.
But Wen Xishu is already convinced...starting from the 60th floor, the Tower of Desire is sometimes even crazier than the Tower of Weirdness.
Wen Xishu is very modest:
"I am still a long way from you two."
He intentionally put Evelyn and Albert on the same level because Albert didn't care, but in their hearts, the five elders must have wanted to be on the same level as the two heroes of the past.
But Evelyn said:
"I'm not as good as Albert and Lao Jin. The Desire Tower is different from the other two towers. Maybe you have had a very interesting...even weird experience in the Desire Tower."
"But our entry points are different. I am still far from most stories. Wen Xishu, you are a true legend."
Wen Xishu had heard Wen Renjing say something similar.
The general idea is that Wen Xishu doesn't seem to need something like luck... to be very close to the core goal.
The Tower of Desire is a huge world that contains numerous tasks.
Take the Niqi Apartment for example. When other people enter the relevant desire tower, their mission is to make one of the seven people happy.
But Wen Xishu is directly related to the An brothers.
For Wen Xishu, he doesn't seem to need a lot of luck to ensure that he can achieve the real "main line".
Others need to spend a lot of luck to ensure that the "branch line" they receive is not too biased.
Wen Xishu thought about it and attributed all this to the fact that he climbed a strange tower.
Wen Chaohua's words "The strange tower is the most important" seem to be reflected here.
Albert interrupted:
"Both of you should stop being so modest. Tell me, Evelyn. You can't keep me in suspense any longer."
Evelin also nodded and went straight to the point:
"I will no longer hide this for Lao Jin... and choose to tell you all this. I hope you know what I think."
Albert said:
"Even if you don't do this for me, Evelyn, you're still my friend."
Evelin was a little surprised by Albert's words. But after thinking about it...she seemed to understand.
In Albert's opinion, he can help anyone because deep down he always believes in Lao Jin.
"That child actually appeared shortly after you landed on the 90th floor."
"He's not from the bunker."
Wen Xishu pricked up his ears, this was an absolute secret.
Albert frowned:
"continue."
Evelyn says:
"I don't know who Lao Jin made a deal with... Well, this is my guess. He should not be able to let people who do not belong to the bunker enter the bunker."
"In short, Lao Jin got the child by making a deal with someone in high authority."
"Since then, I have been responsible for...erasing that child's memory."
"But I can only erase it. I can't spy on his memory."
In Xiao Jin's memory, Wen Xishu thought of the Chosen Train. That train made Xiao Jin see the fear deep in his heart.
Those fears, perhaps, are things that Xiao Jin has forgotten?
"But later, Lao Jin would often ask me to do this kind of thing."
“At the same time, it will shape the memory of that child over and over again.”
Albert said:
"How did he shape it?"
Evelyn looked into Albert's eyes:
"Use my sequence to make it gentle, kind, honest, and friendly."
"In short, it should be a good person in the conventional sense."
"After erasing the child's memory and reshaping the child's memory... we will find a way to start training him, taking him to do various interesting things and see how he will make choices."
"For example, the trolley problem. Old Jin even asked him to make a boring choice like 'If your grandfather and your girlfriend fall into the water, who would you save first?'" Albert seemed to understand:
"Are you testing whether this child has really become gentle, kind, honest, and friendly?"
Evelyn nodded:
"Yes, that's true."
Albert asked again:
"What happened after that? Could it be that he was trained recently? You said he had been in the bunker for a long time, but I just found out recently that he actually has a grandson."
Evelin was silent for a while, then sighed:
"No, in fact, according to his actual performance, after his memory was erased for the first time and his shaping was completed, this child has become a kind, gentle, friendly and honest child."
"But what happened next was very strange. I felt that after the child was trained..."
"Old Jin will let me erase his memory. Let him return to a state of having no memory."
Wen Xishu and Albert were both stunned.
What is this doing?
Erasing a person's memory and then implanting memories allows the person to have many good qualities.
But having succeeded in doing so, what about suddenly erasing the person's memory?
Wen Xishu seemed to hear a "reset" sound coming from the computer.
Evelyn says:
"It's hard to understand, right? I also don't understand why Lao Jin did this."
"But Lao Jin... Just like Albert, you believe in him, I believe in him too. What he asked me to do is very strange, but as long as he asked me to do it, I would do it."
"So next, I started shaping the memory again. This time, Lao Jin gave me many changes. I still want this child to become a good person in the public sense... or even a saint."
"But the story material has changed. Simply put, the path has changed. I need this child to be the same as last time, but with a different experience."
It is understandable that they pursue different processes to achieve the same result.
No one in this world has the same experiences, but there are not too many types of people either.
"What happens next? Will Lao Jin ask you to repeat this process over and over again?"
Evelyn smiled bitterly:
"Yes, I look for materials very carefully every time. I even collect the past experiences of kind-hearted people at the bottom of society and make them into stories."
"But in the end, after the child successfully passed the assessment and became a good person, Lao Jin asked me to erase his memory."
"I have forgotten how much material I have found, how many times I have given him memories, and how many times I have erased his memories.
"Until not long ago...Old Jin began to tell me to give this child new memories. Of course, this time is different."
"This time, the child is a child of destiny, the grandson of the most powerful person in the entire bunker. Compared with the previous materials... the identity of this child is extraordinary."
"I even wondered if Lao Jin was torturing the child. After all, all memories had to be erased in the end."
"But strangely, this time, Lao Jin didn't let me erase my memory."
"Not long after, the child showed up at the Three Towers Academy, Albert, that's your territory."
"What's even more coincidental is, Wen Xishu, he and you are roommates."
Wen Xishu and Albert looked at each other.
Albert said:
"What do you think, Evelyn? What do you think is the reason why Lao Jin is doing this and torturing the child so much?"
Evelyn shook her head:
"Regarding this child, Lao Jin seems to be very optimistic about him, but if you ask me, what Lao Jin is doing... I'm sorry, Albert, I can't guess."
"I actually wondered if Lao Jin was crazy. After all... he looks like he's afraid of something. This is unlike him."
"In fact, once, when I was talking to Lao Jin, I used the power of the sequence to try to stir up his emotions. I don't know if it worked. After all, my methods didn't work on you and Lao Jin."
"But that time, Lao Jin did talk to me about many memories of our previous struggles together. He actually missed you very much and felt guilty for not fighting with you."
Albert was silent. He was the same.
Evelyn says:
"That day, Lao Jin finally said something. He said he couldn't leave because he didn't want to die. He was afraid someone would come and kill him."
"He also said that the bunker wasn't completely safe either, and that perhaps someone from the Three Towers World would come and kill him. I asked him if he was sure."
"He shook his head, unsure, but he had to treat his uncertainty as if he were sure."
"He doesn't want to die, and he can't die. He also longs for the day when he can get rid of his current troubles."
The topic had been diverted. But Albert didn't mind. He seemed to have gotten a clue.
"Old Jin thinks... he's being targeted by an assassin? Someone from the Three Towers battlefield who's going to kill him?"
Evelyn nodded:
"From what I've said, maybe that's the case."
Albert looked at Wen Xishu:
"What do you think, little one?"
Wen Xishu said:
"If we regard Mr. Jin's strange behavior as a puzzle, then the key to this puzzle is who is Xiao Jin?"
"Mr. Jin repeatedly asked you to create memories for Xiao Jin and then delete them... You don't understand this behavior. But I feel like it's deepening the cover-up."
"First of all, I have to assume that Mr. Jin is normal and that everything he does is meaningful."
"So, creating memories for Xiao Jin can be understood as shaping Xiao Jin. Maybe the original Xiao Jin... was not friendly, honest, gentle, or kind."
"But new memories were created, deleted, and then recreated... Maybe Mr. Jin thought that multiple encryption was necessary."
Evelyn thought:
"Go on."
Wen Xishu said:
"Two aspects. On the one hand, it is to create a certain background, repeatedly make Xiao Jin become a good person, and then delete his memory. Maybe it is to cultivate Xiao Jin's personality background. Even if one day, Xiao Jin loses his memory, or recovers all his memories..."
"Then the many good memories with different trajectories will be able to balance the original evil memories."
"Another aspect is that Mr. Jin believes that someone in the future will be able to read Xiao Jin's memory."
"So he created layers of memories, so that the person who reads Xiao Jin's memory can only see and read kind memories."
"No matter what, what is hidden in Xiao Jin's original memory is most likely Xiao Jin's identity and the reason for Mr. Jin's sudden change in behavior."
"So, if there is a way to read Xiao Jin's original memory... all the mysteries can be solved."
Albert was eager to find out.
But Evelyn said she was powerless:
“I can’t do that.”
Albert sighed:
"If you can't do it, then no one in the bunker can."
Wen Xishu said:
"Senior, can you awaken his fear?"
Evelyn thought for a moment:
"Maybe. I can try. In certain circumstances... my sequence power can indeed stir up certain emotions."
Wen Xishu said:
"If you both think... this is not an offense to Mr. Jin, I do have a way to know Xiao Jin's memory."
"Last time in the Maelstrom, Xiao Jin experienced a deep fear, so he may have recalled some memories."
"Then Xiao Jin's memory was deleted by you again."
"So I was thinking, maybe fear can induce Xiao Jin to remember something."
"And when I'm extremely scared, I can know some of Xiao Jin's memories."
Evelin and Albert looked at each other, neither of them expected that Wen Xishu would have such a trick.
"Really?" Albert was a little excited.
Wen Xishu said:
"Of course I take it seriously. Although this may hurt Xiao Jin, I am also quite curious... What secrets are hidden in the bunker? What is Mr. Jin hiding? What is he afraid of?"
Sometimes, people get into a dilemma and stop trusting their friends.
But Mr. Jin and the old principal are obviously close friends, and Wen Xishu also believes that no matter how big the problem is, the old principal can solve it.
This is an old man who can fight against Leo in the future.
Albert is a man who does what he thinks of immediately.
The same goes for Wen Xishu. Both of them are the kind of ruthless people who will launch the lander if they disagree with something.
Albert said:
"Where is Xiao Jin now? Let's go and scare him immediately. Right now! I want to know what Lao Jin has been through!"
Wen Xishu also cast a look at Evelin, indicating that he was ready.
"I happen to have a facility at Weird Tower Academy. I'm sure you two know it. It just so happens that I can use this facility to simulate some scenarios."
"But the simulation may not really have that effect."
"To be absolutely sure, if you can arouse his fear, I am sure I can dig out Xiao Jin's secret."
"We can act now."
Evelin had the urge to hold her forehead. This old man and this child were really crazy.
But it just so happened that now she actually knew Xiao Jin's whereabouts.
