Chapter 229 Soul Concentration Camp

Chapter 229 Soul Concentration Camp

Wen Xishu roughly figured it out, and it was indeed very close to the truth.

Xiao Jin is an extremely noble and mysterious being.

Xiao Jin was originally a sinister person, and was originally from the Three Towers battlefield. At least he definitely shouldn't have been a bunker dweller who came to the bunker.

Mr. Jin brought Xiao Jin here by playing tricks on Capricorn and at great cost to himself.

Albert seemed to understand vaguely.

"Why did you use your grandson to evade me twice in a row...when I asked you to come out of retirement?"

"So this isn't an excuse, but you really think this child can help me?"

Evelin had naturally come into contact with the twelve zodiac signs, but she didn’t expect that Wen Xishu knew so much about them.

Wen Xishu continued:
"In fact, if you tell Mr. Jin what I said, he will surely be very surprised."

"But now it seems... I'm afraid that even you can't get Mr. Jin out."

"He's been targeted."

This is something Wen Xishu had not mentioned before, and Albert couldn’t help but ask:

"Being targeted? Who would target him? And who would make him afraid to step out of the healing house?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Mr. Jin is most likely afraid to enter the three towers, but he is actually not afraid to leave the healing house."

"But it's hard to say. Maybe the healing house has other abilities?"

"All of this is just my guess. Among the twelve zodiac signs, there are also a few whose characteristics I don't know... For example, I still don't know the behavior style of Taurus."

"I don't know about Sagittarius either. In Xiao Jin's memory, I heard Capricorn say that his brother would not let Mr. Jin go."

"So I guess this might be referring to Sagittarius."

"If my guess is correct, then I think not only Mr. Jin, but even you, the principal, would be scared if you were targeted by such a being."

Albert is not afraid of these constellations. In terms of individual combat capabilities alone, he has actually reached the edge of "God".

Even when facing Albert, Cancer was not completely sure of winning.

But in Wen Xishu's context, it seemed that Sagittarius could easily kill Albert.

Albert didn't think there was anyone in this world who could kill him easily.

He frowned and said:

"Do you think Sagittarius has some kind of rules?"

Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, I believe that if you fight him face to face, he may not be able to defeat you easily."

"But what if you and him are separated by a great distance?"

"In Xiao Jin's memory, I felt a sense of oppression that I had experienced before. It was a feeling that one's fate was locked in place by someone."

"I guess that's what Sagittarius is capable of."

Evelin suddenly spoke:
"Dean Wen, do you think there is an alliance between the twelve constellations?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"I always felt that Scorpio and Gemini were one. And Aquarius and Pisces were one, and now it seems that Capricorn and Sagittarius are one."

"Capricorn is responsible for smuggling. The so-called smuggling means transferring people who originally belong to a certain world to another world."

"For example, we are bunker people. At this stage, we do not belong to the Three Towers War world. If we intervene in the Three Towers War, we can only change the past and influence the future by climbing the towers."

"And Capricorn, in order to prevent the past from being changed by some extremely powerful people, he will invite us to the Three Towers battlefield after sensing us."

"And they will give us various benefits. But once we sign a contract with Capricorn, we can never return to the bunker again."

Albert and Evelyn looked at each other. They didn’t expect Wen Xishu to know all this so clearly.

"Mr. Jin should have agreed to Capricorn. Judging from the conversation in Xiao Jin's memories, Mr. Jin tricked Capricorn into going to the future Three Towers battlefield to experience it for a few days."

"Actually, I guess during those days... Mr. Jin was just looking for Little Jin."

"After finding Xiao Jin, Mr. Jin deceived Capricorn during the 'visa' reversal ceremony. I don't know how he did it. I can only say... he is really amazing. He actually tricked Capricorn."

"Mr. Jin should have gone from being a bunker man to a three-tower battlefield man."

"Xiao Jin originally belonged to the Three Towers battlefield..."

"But in the end, Mr. Jin still belongs to the Bunker Man. On the contrary, Xiao Jin, with the help of Capricorn's power, smuggled back from the Three Towers battlefield to become a Bunker Man."

Wen Xishu paused for a moment, looked at the unconscious Xiao Jin, and said:

"I don't know what Xiao Jin's identity is, but I can say that this is the existence that Mr. Jin is willing to bring back to the bunker to change at the risk of his own fate."

"In Mr. Jin's eyes, once Xiao Jin becomes kind, as long as he can realize his potential, he will be more powerful than himself."

Albert was silent. As he listened to Wen Xishu's story, he began to recall the past.

Lao Jin did all this when he was on the 90th floor?
Wen Xishu's various adventures took place in the Gui Tower. There was actually not much information in the Lu Tower, it was just pure battles.

So how did Lao Jin know about Xiao Jin’s existence?

Even Evelin, who climbed the Desire Tower, didn't know Xiao Jin's identity. Why did Lao Jin dare to bet everything on Xiao Jin?
As far as Albert knew, Lao Jin had never climbed the spooky tower.

He thought of an answer that even he found incredible.

Lao Jin is very strong. When he first entered the bunker, he was very strong.

At that time, Albert was not as good as Lao Jin. He caught up little by little by relying on his talent that surpassed Lao Jin.

So Albert knew very well that Lao Jin had a past and a story, but Lao Jin never mentioned it.

Now it seems that Xiao Jin...most likely existed before the bunker appeared, when humans were still fleeing from doomsday.

And Lao Jin...it is very likely that he had already come into contact with Xiao Jin since that time.

The purpose of Lao Jin's crazy tower climbing is most likely to attract the attention of Capricorn.

Perhaps Lao Jin knows something about the origin of the bunker.

This speculation and inference made Albert want to look for Lao Jin again.

Even if I have to use violence, I have to go to Lao Jin to find out the answer.

Wen Xishu said:
"Mr. Jin paid the price for teasing God. He was targeted by Sagittarius."

"Although Capricorn's smuggling ritual was a fraud, I'm afraid it was somewhat effective."

"Although Mr. Jin can enter the bunker now, I guess his identity is not compatible with both."

"Once he leaves the bunker, I guess the login device won't be able to bring him back."

“And once we enter the three towers, I’m afraid it will attract the attention of Sagittarius.”

"The situation was even worse than I expected, which is why he didn't dare to leave the healing house at all."

“Besides, there may be something involved here.”

Albert asked:

"Keep talking."

Wen Xishu had actually always been guessing before - the 70th to 90th floors of the bunker were vacuum, with no one else in them. Was it because of Albert, Mr. Jin, and the five elders?

He looked at Albert and Evelyn:

"I'm afraid that one of the levels after the seventieth level is a disaster."

"I want to know, when you two climbed to the 90th floor, before Senior Wenren and Senior Xun had grown up..."

“Has anyone ever climbed to the 60th floor?”

Albert didn't expect Wen Xishu to say this, he was a little surprised.

He remembered that Lao Jin once said not to let his disciples - Xun Hui and Wen Ren Jing - climb too fast.

At this time, Albert gradually understood something.

"Actually, there were some at that time. As you said, I also have many old friends."

"They didn't survive. Almost all of them died on the 70th floor."

"William, Luo Feng, Liu Zhizai, Matthew and the others are different. After all, they have followed Lao Jin for a long time."

“And I only met Lao Jin after I got the bunker.”

"In fact, they were ahead of me at the beginning. It was only when we reached the 60th floor that I caught up with Luo Feng and the others."

“Only when I reached the 70th floor did I begin to surpass them.”

“When we were on the 80th floor, it was just me and Lao Jin.”

“And those old friends who fought with me back then are still on the 50th or 60th floor.”

"When I reached the 90th floor, Lao Jin's progress was lower than mine. But Lao Jin was no longer obsessed with climbing the tower. Instead, he began to focus on bringing Luo Feng, Liu Zhizai and the others to the 90th floor."

"My old friends are on the 68th or 69th floor."

"I was thinking... the progress after the 90th floor is so slow, maybe the gap between everyone's levels will narrow." "Later... Old Jin disappeared, and several other elders also disappeared."

"And on the ladder of the Slaughter Tower, my old friends have fallen one by one to the seventy-plus floors."

These things happened many years ago, but when Albert recalled them, he still felt very sorry for the fate of those people.

They are certainly not geniuses like Albert, but they can be the backbone of the bunker.

Wen Xishu could think that maybe it was because of the death of his old friends...

Albert became more focused on climbing the tower. He and Mr. Jin no longer managed the bunker for various reasons, which led to the bunker becoming the smoky and chaotic state it is today.

Wen Xishu added:

"Principal, I think it's not that your friends are not good. They are very good. Even if they are not as good as you, they can follow your footsteps and reach a higher level with steady steps."

"But they all died on the 70th floor, and now... there is no one between the 70th and 90th floors."

"Whether it's the younger generation or the older generation."

"Maybe there is some conspiracy hidden here."

Albert also recalled:
"Old Jin...paid a huge price for this child, Little Jin."

Wen Xishu sighed:
"That's all I can conclude. The fraudulent horoscope was successful, which is remarkable, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you've gotten a big advantage."

"At least, at this stage, I can't see what's special about Xiao Jin."

"It is very likely that Mr. Jin knew a lot of secrets before entering the bunker."

"But all this is not something I can know."

Wen Xishu turned around:
"Principal, it's up to you to solve the mystery. Go find Mr. Jin. The amount of information today may make him realize that there is no point in hiding it. With the exploration of the Weird Tower and the Desire Tower, some things will eventually surface."

Albert also made up his mind that even if he had to torture Lao Jin, he would get to the bottom of the matter.

Evelyn says:
“This time, I am not on Lao Jin’s side, Albert, I also support you to uncover the truth.”

Albert nodded:
"Okay, everyone go your separate ways. Also, Dean Wen, you can arrange more scenes that you have experienced so that the students can experience them and develop a way of thinking like yours."

Wen Xishu said:
"In these two days... the academy spirit has offended many people from the Desire Tower Academy."

Albert shook his head:

"If I've offended you, I've offended you. Is this a normal social system? In a world where strength speaks, dignity means nothing."

Albert also turned and left.

It will probably take some time to get all the truth out of Mr. Jin.

Wen Xishu actually thought about it and believed that in the time turbulence of Pisces, the future might not be unchangeable.

in case……

If the old principal could persuade Mr. Jin to come out of retirement, if he could find a way to resolve the Sagittarius sign—

In the future, when Scorpio is invited to fight against Leo, will there be an extra principal-level chess piece?

He wished the principal all the best.

But for someone who has not moved for decades, even if there is a possibility of being persuaded, it is not so easy and it may not be a short-term thing.

Wen Xishu decided: Why not climb the tower first.

Maybe after climbing the tower, I will be able to know Xiao Jin’s true identity.

Hopefully that's enough explosive information.

……

……

After instructing the academy spirit, making a series of arrangements for the Weird Tower, and summoning many Weird Tower Academy exclusive teachers such as "Tang Rui", "Jack", and "Shoe Girl", Wen Xishu returned to the office with satisfaction.

Wen Xishu has a simple idea about the students of Guita Academy - if you are not good at it, just practice more.

Since you won’t die anyway, just order the Red House Set Meal.

Wen Xishu no longer needs to avoid anyone now. He enjoys the quiet and eerie atmosphere of Weird Tower Academy and starts the login program.

“Hopefully this time, I’ll be able to access more information about certain constellations.”

The familiar loading sound appeared in my mind.

The familiar sound of the Crazy Dice emerged.

Wen Xishu was very familiar with these processes, and the number he threw this time was the same number he had thrown before.

Two, three, four.

There are six options this time.

[1: Good things come in pairs. (Triggered when at least two of the three dice have even numbers. Effect: Option +1. This option does not consume the option times)]

[2: Smooth. (Triggered when three dice show consecutive points. Effect: Your actions in the three towers will become unusually smooth. Reflected as: Combat skill consumption in the Killing Tower is halved, and combat skill release speed is increased. There is no need to light a bonfire to reduce the killing value in a short period of time. The magic resistance value requirement is greatly reduced, and the luck value is greatly increased.)]

[3: Three gives birth to all things. (Triggered when there is at least one three in the three dice and the total is a multiple of three. Effect: When the number of items you equip is three or a multiple of three, their effects will be amplified. This includes special items and invalid items. The number of items is determined only by the number of items in the inventory.)]

[4: Two-stage connection. (Triggered when three dice show consecutive points, and two of the points are even numbers. Effect: You can use the rules of any two tower systems at the same time.)]

[5: Quality Upgrade: (Triggered when two prime numbers are included in the three dice. Effect: When calculating the completion reward, if there are items, sequences, and facilities, one of them will trigger a quality upgrade and improve the quality level.)]

[6: Minimalism. Provided by the result of the last round of insanity throw, 2 remaining times.]

[Reunion. When you throw the result of a previous throw for the second time, you will have two additional options.]

Throwing out a straight again brought Wen Xishu great joy.

Because including reunion and good things come in pairs, Wen Xishu has to choose four out of five options.

The gain this time was far greater than he had expected. And the Three Life and All Things could also play a role this time.

Because Wen Xishu has exactly nine inventory slots.

In the end, the result of Wen Xishu's choice is quality improvement, which will increase his settlement reward.

Three creates all things, improving the properties of items. Two-stage combo, adding additional tower sequences and abilities.

After improving the item's attributes, Wen Xishu also felt more confident, so this time, he chose minimalism instead of smoothness.

This is undoubtedly a gamble, and of the five options, minimalism is the only one that increases the risk of the challenge.

But he was impressed by the high returns brought by minimalism last time, so Wen Xishu chose minimalism.

In the end, Wen Xishu had four options: quality upgrade, three births of all things, two-stage connection, and minimalism.

The Scorpio knife, which has been strengthened by Sansheng Wanwu, provides Wen Xishu with a brand new gaming option this time.

[The orange item you hold will provide you with the following functions during the entire process of climbing the tower:]

[Function name: Great Tribute (can only be unlocked after the favorability reaches the first stage). ]

[Function description: People always like to pay tribute to some great works. In the next challenge, you will find some special things in certain places. They may be enemies, friends, props, or cheat codes. They come from different games.]

I have to say that the abilities brought by the enhanced Scorpio Sword are quite interesting this time.

Even if it is minimalism, with the help of various props, I believe there will be ways to save your life in certain scenarios.

"There are no three highs this time. I will climb the tower naturally and see what level the three towers place me at now."

Due to policy reasons, more and more people are climbing the Weird Tower, and the Weird Tower Ladder List has now appeared on the ladder list.

The second-ranked one has reached the 27th floor.

Ranked first is Wen Xishu, who is currently on the 63rd floor of the Weird Tower.

The gap that widened was similar to the gap between Albert and Xun Hui.

However, no one knew that Wen Xishu's normal level of tower climbing was far below the 60th floor.

When the surrounding scene changed and Wen Xishu arrived at the rest area of ​​the Weird Tower... he glanced at the mission description and felt a little more relaxed:
"Not bad, thirty-fifth floor. I'm currently fluctuating between thirty-third and fortieth floors."

"The Three Towers didn't push me too high... I can't touch things like the Three Towers casually anymore."

Looking at the Gui Tower rest area, which is now almost as popular as the Yu Tower rest area, Wen Xishu is very satisfied.

He even heard the shouting that he had heard in the rest area of ​​the Yu Tower.

"Is there any guide for Miyazaki Yinti's Weird Tower? Please help! This is a Weird Tower, I don't dare to anal him."

The target should be the ninth floor of the Strange Tower. Although Wen Xishu is in the Tianyuan area, the Strange Tower is still in the development stage, so he can hear the shouting very clearly.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but find it funny. Of course, he admired everyone who was willing to come to the Ghost Tower to risk their lives.

But soon, when he looked at his task description, he couldn't laugh anymore.

[Task Description: As you know, a long time ago, there was a war in this world. Some prisoners were detained in a place awaiting execution. People usually call it a "concentration camp". In the beautiful future, in peacetime, people think that "concentration camps" no longer exist. But many people were sent to a new type of "concentration camp", and the world has become accustomed to it. Some people jokingly call it the "soul concentration camp". Can you guess what that place is? ]

[Task requirements: Please survive in the new "Soul Concentration Camp" and escape from the concentration camp. ]
