Chapter 228: Mr. Jin's Truth Revealed
Chapter 228: Mr. Jin's Truth Revealed
Xiao Jin opened his eyes and new memories came to him, or rather, another round of new memories came to him, making him feel a slight headache.
But soon, various memories made Xiao Jin realize that he still had very important things to do.
"what!".
Neeson, Yue Yun, Wen Xishu, many memories emerged, and these memories have not changed much.
It’s just that everything Xiao Jin had doubted, thought about... and faced, had all disappeared.
If the memory disappears and no one knows about it, it’s almost as if it never happened.
Xiao Jin was just thinking that after the great devourment, he was unconscious for a while. Now the great devourment may have ended, and he should go and understand the situation in the outside world.
Xiao Jin stood up.
When he saw the door, certain scenes suddenly emerged in his mind.
"Xiao Jin...be kind to others, don't look down on others just because you have great talent."
“We should discover more of others’ strengths and learn to praise them more.”
When Grandpa's words came to mind, Xiao Jin nodded, but at the moment of nodding, he had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if all this had happened before.
The feeling of déjà vu is the most elusive and fleeting.
Xiao Jin shook his head, pushed open the door and prepared to leave.
But the next second, Xiao Jin found that the door had been pushed open.
Evelin’s face made Xiao Jin very happy.
And behind Evelin, Wen Xishu was also there, which made Xiao Jin even happier.
“Wow! Brother Wen! Wow, Aunt Evelin!”
Xiao Jin was so excited that he was about to hug Evelin, and at this moment, Evelin felt a little sorry for the child.
Although...Xiao Jin shouldn't be a child according to common sense.
Just when Xiao Jin was about to touch Evelin, a figure appeared behind Xiao Jin without knowing when.
"Sorry kid, I need to know your secret."
Xiao Jin fell into a coma.
The person who appeared behind Xiao Jin was naturally the first person in the bunker, Albert.
The old principal easily knocked Xiao Jin unconscious with just one blow.
Xiao Jin was soon carried on his shoulders. This was the sixteenth floor of the bunker, and occasionally one could see some of the bunker's more famous figures.
For example, the six major families and the five elders.
Evelin saw Albert's behavior, which seemed to be completely unconcerned with Lao Jin, and said helplessly:
“This child has experienced so many memories… I guess even if you, Wen Xishu, have a way to detect some memories, the memories may not be real.”
Albert said:
"This is about Lao Jin, I can't stop, I must know the truth. Let's go to Weird Tower Academy."
Albert, Evelyn, and Wen Xishu were all in Santa Academy not long ago.
But considering that Albert and Wen Xishu were the kind of people who would do what they said and take action immediately, soon... Evelyn brought the two of them to Xiao Jin's residence.
Xiao Jin's memory implantation is not actually completely completed, and there are still some details to be finalized.
But Evelin knew that Albert and Wen Xishu, two crazy men, one old and one young, definitely didn't care about these things.
Of course, she also made her own choice. Since she decided to work with Albert to uncover Lao Jin's secret, she would carry it out to the end.
……
……
Weird Tower Academy.
With the help of the hospital spirit, Xiao Jin was soon in the special facilities brought back by Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu was also a little nervous, wondering if he could successfully replicate the plot in The Chosen Train.
Wen Xishu summoned Wei Pingan. The scene was very different from what he remembered, and Wei Pingan looked much older.
The conductor of the Chosen Train now looks very old.
Wen Xishu knew that this was the future, Wei Ping'an on the three-tower battlefield.
However, Wen Xishu did not ask Wei Ping'an what happened. After all, he couldn't find out the answer by asking.
Afterwards, Wen Xishu used the ability of the facility "Memories" to create the scene of the Chosen Train.
"Wei Ping'an, do you still remember this child?"
Wei Pingan nodded:
"Of course, I remember him, a man who, unlike you, failed to reach the final carriage. Judging from the challenge at that time, he failed."
Wen Xishu hummed:
"That's right. Just remember it. Next, I need you to do something for me."
"I will do as you command. Please tell me your wishes."
Compared to the simulated Tang Rui, Wei Ping'an is like an AI.
Wen Xishu did not mention Xiao Jin immediately, but asked:
"Is your God... okay?"
Wei Pingan nodded:
“God is changing in the direction people expect.”
Wen Xishu said no more:
"I will start the Chosen Train again, and I need you to once again... let this child experience what he experienced before."
"We need to awaken his fear. And the memories associated with the emotion of fear."
Wei Pingan pondered for a moment:
“I will ensure that the experience is replicated one-to-one.”
Evelyn says:
"That's enough, leave the rest to me."
Wen Xishu sighed:
"I don't want to do this to Xiao Jin. I hope we can really... find extremely important clues!"
Albert urged:
"let's start."
Wen Xishu nodded, and in the memoir... the surrounding scenes began to change.
……
……
woke up.
Xiao Jin wakes up again, in the chosen train carriage, and faces his deepest fear.
When he woke up, that strong sense of déjà vu raged through his sea of consciousness like a storm.
"This...where is this?"
Xiao Jin felt a headache.
He saw ahead...it was chaos, and in the gloom, there was a tall figure.
Xiao Jin was not unfamiliar with this figure.
That's grandpa.
The original problems resurfaced again -
Why don't I have other brothers and sisters?
Is Grandpa really the most powerful person in the bunker?
There will be a huge gap in the ladder leaderboard, and it is rumored that there is some kind of devourer.
It was rumored that his grandfather played some kind of terrifying role, and the people below were also extremely dissatisfied with this bunker ruled by his grandfather...
Many of the bad rumors about his grandfather are Xiao Jin’s inner fears.
Grandpa is already over ninety years old... and as the supreme ruler of the bunker, why does he only have one grandson?
Where are mom and dad? Where are they? Why doesn't grandpa mention them?
And inexplicably, the fear in his heart began to rise rapidly. Xiao Jin has always been a brave and courageous person. He still remembers that he and senior Xun Hui had been to the sixtieth floor of the Killing Tower.
Although the performance is not very good and not as good as Wen Xishu, it is always good to dare to go.
But now, goose bumps began to appear on Xiao Jin's hands and a chill ran down his back.
His legs seemed to be shaking.
Extreme fear was gradually destroying his will.
Xiao Jin began to recall the past.
Memories of the previous life, as well as the previous two lives, the previous three lives, the previous four lives...
Because Evelyn implanted too many memories and erased them too many times, Xiao Jin's past erased memories became like "memories of a past life."
He was like a ghost that suddenly vomited Meng Po soup, and all kinds of memories appeared crazily.
Xiao Jin covered his head in pain.
He felt many memories, and these memories were very beautiful. He was kind to others and finally got good results.
But these memories gave him a sense of strangeness.
I am clearly my grandfather's grandson, why do I have so many other identities?
Xiao Jin howled in pain, and in fear, he began to cry and curl up.
The Chosen Train brought out his deepest fears, but not deep enough...
The layers of memories implanted by Evelyn were like shields, blocking the arrows of fear and preventing these arrows from piercing through all memories and reaching the truth deep inside.
But it just so happened that it was Evelyn who was using her power to arouse Xiao Jin's fear.
Emotional arousal is a power that is commonly possessed by the Desire Tower sequence.
In the Weird Tower Academy, Evelyn's abilities are fully unleashed. Although Evelyn's tower climbing journey is different from Wen Xishu's, most of what Evelyn touches are... the edges of certain story lines. But quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. When you can reach the 90th floor, even if you miss the main line every time, you will have extremely powerful power.
Evelyn's arousal of fear had some effect on Albert, let alone Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin started to bang his head against the ground, looking quite painful. Wen Xishu felt sorry for him, after all, Xiao Jin was his friend.
Albert naturally couldn't bear it, after all, this was the grandson of his old friend.
But then he thought, Evelin would not deceive him, so this child could not be Lao Jin's grandson. He wanted to figure it all out.
But in a flash, Albert's eyes became sharp.
"Don't stop, Evelyn, use all your strength!"
Wen Xishu also said:
"Not yet... He is still searching for the fears in those implanted memories. These fears are worthless."
"But I could see some of his questioning of Mr. King."
“But I think it’s not enough, Senior Evelin, please increase your efforts.”
Evelyn did so.
But she was also helpless. After all, this was equivalent to - increasing the severity of punishment.
Lao Jin doesn’t know all this, and doesn’t know that his position has changed. If he knew, he would probably be very disappointed, right?
Evelin was also a ruthless person. Although she had many concerns in her heart, she did not stop at all. The fear that Xiao Jin endured continued to increase.
Xiao Jin felt like... a speck of dust, facing a hideous and terrifying world.
In an environment of extreme fear, Xiao Jin began to feel angry without knowing when.
His anger grew.
He showed a hostility that was not his own.
"Let me go back! Let me go back!"
[I want to go back! I want to leave here! I don’t belong here! ]
At this time, Wen Xishu, Albert, and Evelyn were all in the next carriage observing Xiao Jin. When Wen Xishu saw the barrage appear -
Wen Xishu realized that this was most likely the one.
He doesn't belong here, he wants to leave.
This made Wen Xishu feel that something was wrong. His intuition told him that it was time to reel in the club.
Wen Xishu appeared quickly and touched the barrage that was about to pass by.
Of course, in the eyes of Albert and Evelin, Wen Xishu's action looked very strange, as if he had touched something. But the two of them couldn't see it at all.
Albert remembered that Wen Xishu had done something similar before.
Wen Xishu successfully touched the barrage, and under the influence of mixed emotions... he began to collect that memory.
The secret of the emperor of the bunker, the former number one, was also quietly revealed at this moment.
……
……
Since Xiao Jin's memory was vague and had been purged, when Wen Xishu used mixed feelings to enter his memory -
I just felt that everything around me was very stream of consciousness.
In horror movies, there is often a way to show a child's depression and inner fear. For example, a child draws his father and mother in a diary, but the style of the drawing is very strange, and you can see many lines in a vortex shape.
These lines twist and intertwine to express an equally twisted inner world.
At this moment, Wen Xishu felt that... all the people and scenes in this memory were in this distorted style.
The winding lines are like the rough draft of Van Gogh's paintings, before they are fully colored.
However, Wen Xishu still vaguely saw a familiar figure. Actually, it was not familiar, after all, he had only seen it once.
A slightly decadent aristocratic boy holding a guitar, wearing a ten-gallon hat and a crimson jacket.
Although he couldn't see the color clearly, Wen Xishu still remembered the other person's outfit when they first met.
These people... don't seem to change their clothes?
Come to think of it, Scorpio is the same, always wearing a blue suit.
What Wen Xishu saw was "Capricorn", one of the twelve constellations that he had encountered in Toe not long ago.
"We should start the full ceremony. You are only here temporarily."
"I promised you and kept my promise. Now it's your turn. Not only can I help you smuggle, I can also help you get everything done."
The voice was also distorted, but one could still hear some Capricorn accent.
"Let's get started. I'm eager to get out of there and to be with you, too."
The picture started to blur and jump.
It was like the closed-circuit television in the old days, and the signal started flickering.
Wen Xishu suddenly realized that this was some kind of change in rhythm...it seemed like the scene had been switched?
"Jin! You lied to me! How dare you, an ant, lie to me! You even plotted against me!"
Capricorn?
Wen Xishu couldn't tell because the voice was too angry and no longer had Capricorn's previous tone. But in the picture, it was indeed Capricorn who was flashing.
It was difficult for Wen Xishu to identify this extremely stream-of-consciousness picture. But he was somewhat sure that this was Capricorn.
What on earth did Mr. Jin do to make a zodiac sign so angry?
Why do these things appear in Xiao Jin’s memory?
Xiao Jin is a bystander?
"You despicable human! Jin! You are such an untrustworthy fellow, how dare you plot against me! You will not have a good ending!"
"You no longer belong there, and the people you robbed don't belong there either! Do you know the consequences of your plot against me? Every change of fate has a price!!"
"Since you didn't keep your word first, don't blame me for resorting to trickery!"
The ceremony occurred.
A blood-red triangle appeared in Wen Xishu's sight, and at the three points of the triangle, there were three people standing.
Wen Xishu saw two people, Mr. Jin and Capricorn.
However, Wen Xishu knew that his current perspective was Xiao Jin's perspective.
"Little Jin...is not some kind of reincarnation of Mr. Jin, nor is he some kind of clone. He is truly an independent being."
"It seems that what Capricorn meant by that statement... is that Mr. Jin no longer belongs to the bunker, and Xiao Jin doesn't belong to the bunker either?"
Many clues emerged in Wen Xishu's mind, and Wen Xishu began to piece them together one by one.
Albert looked at Wen Xishu and Xiao Jin who were in a state of stillness, and became unusually impatient.
Fortunately, Evelin quickly touched Albert and eliminated this impatience.
"I know that Lao Jin's secret is about to be revealed, but don't worry, Albert, give Wen Xishu some time."
Wen Xishu frowned.
There is no doubt that what he saw now, or the truth he pieced together, shocked him.
"I admit that you are indeed a genius, but now, you have been marked! Hahahahaha, you have been marked! This mark will follow you forever!"
"Do you think you can protect him? It's useless! Once he remembers everything, he will be marked too!"
"I'm sorry, I can't kill you myself! But that mark will make you suffer even more."
"My brother will not let you go! Jin, you will pay the price for mocking God!"
A feeling of familiarity emerged.
At this moment, Wen Xishu seemed to have returned to the scene when he faced the priest. He felt some kind of spying coming from afar.
It felt like a calm hunter looking at me.
Maybe the next moment, the hunter will discover himself, draw his bow and shoot an arrow, dealing a fatal blow to himself.
The mark of Capricorn made Xiao Jin and Mr. Jin feel shrouded in that aura.
Even someone as strong as Mr. Jin felt an unrivaled power at this moment.
"I won't let you go! Do you think you're the only one playing tricks? Jin! There won't be any more people coming after you! Hahahahahaha!"
The Capricorn in the picture no longer had the aristocratic demeanor he had when he met me before. He looked like a person who had been cheated... No, it was a state of being anxious to save face after being defeated.
Wen Xishu understood everything in an instant.
He suddenly opened his eyes, while Xiao Jin fell into a coma.
Wen Xishu looked at Albert, and the scene around him began to fade away slowly, returning to the appearance in his memoirs.
Wen Xishu said:
“Principal, Senior Evelin… Although the images I got were very blurry and the information was just a conversation at a few key nodes, I should know the truth.”
"About why Mr. Jin didn't dare to show up, and why there have been no new comers to the bunker over the years."
Wen Xishu couldn't help but sigh when he said this:
"I have always wondered if there is something in the bunker that will devour some powerful beings. I even thought, could it be you, the old principal, or could it be Mr. Jin?"
"Now it seems... no, Mr. Jin is indeed just like you and is worthy of being your fellow traveler."
"He plotted against a god and teased Capricorn, one of the twelve zodiac signs. I don't know the specific process. You can ask Mr. Jin for everything."
"I believe that after you have told me my guess, he will not conceal it."
"Also, Mr. Jin... originally should have agreed to Capricorn's smuggling to the Three Towers Battlefield. But he didn't do it, instead he deceived the other party and used Capricorn's power in reverse, allowing a very important person who originally belonged to the Three Towers Battlefield..."
"We've come to the bunker."
Wen Xishu looked at Xiao Jin:
"Xiao Jin, this is this very important person."
