Chapter 244: Three strategies to defeat the shooter
Chapter 244: Three Strategies to Defeat the Shooter
The next morning.
William Hawkner was very efficient and had already drawn up various contracts. Wen Xishu ignored the details as he didn't care.
So the temple spirit was asked to be responsible for signing.
In the bunker, Hawkner was very clear about the price of defrauding Wen Xishu, so he was also very sincere.
Wen Xishu himself followed Albert to the top level of the bunker early in the morning.
Seventeenth floor.
Along with him were Evelyn and several other elders.
William Gordon, Willow Orchid, Matthew Jones, Luo Feng.
These people also heard that Mr. Jin had finally gone into seclusion, and decided to tell everyone some things, so they thought about going together.
Wen Xishu is the youngest among them and seems a little out of place - in theory.
But in fact, Albert and Wen Xishu were chatting enthusiastically. They were carrying out various deductions and seemed very excited.
Evelin could occasionally respond with a few words.
The other elders were silent like spectators.
Fortunately, there are not many seventeen-story buildings, and the group soon arrived at the door of the "healing house" where Lao Jin was.
This time, the door was open.
The light in the healing room was dim, but it had no effect at all on a group of people who had surpassed the ninetieth floor.
Albert walked in front, heading deeper into the healing house.
The various facilities displayed in the room have not changed at all and appear spotless.
At the deepest part, there is a Zen room.
A few candles lit up the Zen room, and Mr. Jin's back was slightly twisted under the flickering candlelight.
Mr. Jin is very young.
Younger than Wen Xishu imagined. No wonder when he heard Mr. Jin's voice that day, he felt younger than Albert.
Although he hadn't seen Mr. Jin's face, Wen Xishu was sitting relatively far to the side, Albert was sitting in the middle, and Wen Xishu was sitting on the side. From this angle, he could see Mr. Jin's profile. He could also imagine how handsome Mr. Jin was when he was young, perhaps only slightly less handsome than Wen Renjing...
He is a handsome man with elegant manners and very masculine. Wen Ren Jing is a little too feminine.
Mr. Jin's hair is a little long, and from the side his face and skin condition look like a middle-aged man in his forties.
He smiled and said:
"Albert, and you guys... We haven't seen each other for a while, right? It's really satisfying to see you again."
Mr. Jin knelt on the cushion, but did not strike the wooden fish. Instead, he twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand.
His smile seemed to make the room brighter.
The other elders did not speak and were extremely respectful to Mr. Jin.
Albert was quite excited. His old friend's attitude today was something he hadn't seen in decades.
He was very pleased with this.
"Today, Lao Jin, you should explain everything to us clearly."
Mr. Jin shook his head slightly:
"I just wanted to see you guys. Albert... you're still so young."
The old principal is naturally not young anymore, at least compared to Mr. Jin, he looks quite old.
What Mr. Jin said was not the actual age, and he turned around.
The white training uniform on Mr. Jin made him look like an immortal, which came from his appearance and eyes.
He sat in a meditating posture, looking directly at Albert, then glanced at the other elders one by one, and finally smiled at Wen Xishu with admiration in his eyes.
The other elders, seeing their former master, all wanted to kneel down, but Mr. Jin stopped them with his eyes.
Evelin wasn't that excited, but she was obviously a little excited. Wen Xishu could see that...
Decades ago, Evelyn definitely preferred Mr. King over Albert.
After a while, Mr. Jin said:
"If this world could give eternal life to someone like you, perhaps God would be afraid?"
Albert waved his hand:
"Let's get down to business. You have an unstable temperament. Sometimes you are extremely negative, and sometimes you are like a riddle man. It's rare that you are interested today. Talk to me. I have too many things to ask you."
Mr. Jin said:
"It's okay to tell you, I can't tell you everything. I will bear the consequences of my actions myself."
Albert scolded:
"Bullshit, even though you have been my target from the beginning, but Lao Jin, you may not be able to beat me now."
Mr. Jin agrees with this:
"I am no match for you, Albert. The bunker is lucky to have you. It is also lucky for the human race."
The admission was too frank, and Albert didn't know how to speak. He restrained his emotions a little:
"Old Jin, you have to believe me. I am getting stronger all the time. No matter what kind of existence you are facing, if we join forces... we may be able to defeat them."
Mr. Jin smiled again:
"I am not as good as you, Albert. I have gone astray, so I must pay the price for it. Albert, your fist can break through fate, but fate is an insurmountable barrier for me."
Albert wanted to spit, but considering that Lao Jin was a clean person, he just pursed his lips:
"The Riddler again."
Mr. Jin said apologetically:
"My enemies, and even the enemies of Xun Hui and Wen Ren Jing in the future, and you, my friend. The enemies of the three of you are all Sagittarius."
"That's why I asked all of you to come."
Wen Xishu sat upright, thinking that the highlight was about to begin.
Mr. Jin also looked at Wen Xishu:
"You've met some of my old friends, right? That's amazing. The Bunker is so lucky to have a young man like you."
"You guys, please help me more in the future."
Liu Zhizai lowered his head. At this moment, he was really afraid that his little thoughts would be exposed by Wen Xishu or Albert.
But Wen Xishu didn't take it seriously at all. In Wen Xishu's opinion, things like Miyamoto offering a knife happened every day.
Mr. Jin saw it at a glance:
"Zhi Zai, you should be more considerate of the overall situation of the bunker when dealing with people and things. Do you understand?"
Liu Zhizai kowtowed to Mr. Jin and admitted his mistake.
Mr. King then said:
"Strictly speaking, I am no longer a bunker dweller... If I return to the Slaughter Tower, Albert, I will be forcibly taken away by Capricorn."
"I've been running away from it all these years."
"Maybe I will avoid it later, but these days, I am really surprised that someone has access to my past and has seen through my thoughts."
"The new young generation is really outstanding. I can't just let them die."
"There are three ways to dismantle Sagittarius's means."
Albert urged:
"Don't pause, just speak."
Mr. Jin said:
"The first option is the worst option, which is to withstand or avoid Sagittarius's attack head-on on the 70th floor. But this is difficult. Although it is theoretically possible, it is indeed very difficult."
"The shooter's attack contains the power of cause and effect and cannot be avoided."
"But if you can bear it, it will be smooth in the future, and the shooter will only shoot once. Unless that person, like me, is in a place where he shouldn't be."
Wen Xishu smiled, but couldn't help but say "mmp" in his heart. Me? To take the archer's arrow head-on?
Even if Xun Hui could practice selflessness, in Wen Xishu's opinion, he would be shot through by the arrow that contained the power of cause and effect, right?
Albert shook his head:
"Not very good. Even if the three of them...are combined, it would be hard for them to resist the attack of the constellation."
"Besides, it sounds like the archer doesn't do anything else but practice this one shot."
Although the old principal had never fought against Sagittarius, he knew that these constellations were stronger than him.
At least, Sagittarius's arrow is much more powerful than his punch.
And now, even if Xun Hui's body became several times stronger, he couldn't take his punch.
Wen Xishu was thinking, if he didn't use the three highs, didn't skip levels... and climbed up to the 70th floor of the Weird Tower step by step, would it be possible that by that time, he would have enough cards in his hand to compete with the shooter?
Ding Dong's phoenix feather... can it allow him to be reborn from the archer's arrow?
Wen Xishu pondered over what Mr. Jin said again...A shooter only shoots once, unless that person is in a place where he shouldn't be.
He was a little creepy.
That old man selling tea had found me several times... Was he trying to mark me? Was he trying to make me believe that I didn't belong here?
Mr. Jin's words interrupted Wen Xishu's thoughts.
"Then there is a middle strategy. The middle strategy is... Albert, Zhizai, Xiaofeng, Matthew, William, Evelyn, and you can work together to break through the 100th floor."
"I am skeptical about the idea of breaking the boundary with the 100th floor."
"But the 100th floor is indeed very special. Perhaps there really is a way to face the constellations directly, and thus naturally resolve the threat of Sagittarius."
Albert sighed:
"If that's the case, I'm naturally willing to fight for it, but Lao Jin, it's not that I look down on them... they really can't do it."
"How many years have you guys not climbed the tower?"
Liu Zhizai, Luo Feng, William, and Matthew all lowered their heads.
Mr. Jin sighed, "You...are all tired."
Luo Feng said:
"You are unwilling to lead us, and Albert and I are not on the same page... and there are so many things to deal with in the bunker."
Albert scoffed:
"So you guys are managing the bunker well? Do you want me to tell Lao Jin how you handled the outbreak three months ago?"
Luo shut up.
Mr. Jin shook his head, his eyes full of regret:
“Forget it, Albert, how big is the gap between them and you now?”
Albert said:
"Decades ago, they were not as good as me. Now, after decades of hard work, I have only reached the ninety-seventh level. You want me to break through the ninety-nineth level and reach the hundredth level with them."
"I have to ask the heavens for another 500 years, right? Ha, with just these few of them, it may not be possible to break through to the 96th level in 500 years."
This taunting didn't give Lao Jin any face, but that was how Albert was. He was already dissatisfied with Lao Jin for dragging these guys and forcing them to cross the 90th floor.
And in terms of talent, Albert is indeed the best in the bunker.
Mr. Jin understood now.
Over the past few decades, the veterans have made no progress. Because of Sagittarius, there are no successors in the bunker...
In a sense, Sagittarius can even be regarded as - consolidating the rule of their several elders.
Mr. Jin's expression changed, and he smiled again:
"That middle plan is not feasible either, but fortunately, we still have the best plan. The best plan will definitely lead the children to a path beyond the 70th floor."
Albert said:
"What's the best solution?"
But Mr. Jin suddenly stopped talking. He just smiled:
“Young friend Wen Xishu, you stay. Albert, Evelyn, and you, my old friends, it’s time for you to leave.”
Albert was stunned. The old man looked at Wen Xishu for the first time with an expression of disbelief:
"He stays? I leave?"
Wen Xishu didn't expect that Mr. Jin would make such arrangements.
Mr. Jin said:
"He has more information than you do. He may know more about my past than you do. Although you understand the weaknesses of each powerful opponent, Albert, the thing I'm going to talk about next is something only he knows."
Wen Xishu was actually wondering if this would be dangerous?
Could it be that Mr. Jin knew that I had the desire to merge?
But that’s not right either…
Mr. Jin wouldn't kill himself in the bunker, right?
He thought about it and felt that what Mr. Jin was going to say next probably could not be told to the old principal.
Albert was very reluctant. He looked at Wen Xishu for a while, as if to say, "Old Jin and I have the best relationship, why did I have to leave?" Then he looked at Old Jin, "You told my disciples, but not me?"
The old man’s expression at this time made Evelin want to laugh. Indeed, Albert was still very young, and she understood this sentence even more.
The group finally followed Lao Jin's arrangements and left the healing house.
When only Wen Xishu was left, Mr. Jin slowly said:
"Have you guessed what the best strategy is?"
Wen Xishu pondered for a while, wondering why Mr. Jin wanted to drive away the principal and others, and he seemed to understand.
His expression became serious:
"Let those who don't belong here return to where they belong?"
Mr. Jin smiled and said:
"Yes, let those who don't belong here return to where they belong."
"I don't belong in the bunker anymore. Because I'm in the bunker, Sagittarius' karma is flowing to the bunker."
"But as long as I go back, go through the login, go to the three towers, and finally enter the three tower battlefield, everything will be back in place and back on track."
Wen Xishu suddenly remembered what Mr. Jin said at the beginning - I just want to see you.
He came to think of it and it sounded like a parting word.
"You...are leaving the bunker?"
Mr. Jin smiled and corrected:
"It's not leaving, it's going back."
Wen Xishu didn't expect to encounter such a big thing today. Because Mr. Jin is low-key, many people don't know him.
But if Mr. Kim does leave the bunker...
So this is a moment that will go down in history, right?
Mr. Jin said:
"I used to think that since there is no one better than me, and since Albert is better than me, and I have brought Zhizai Xiaofeng and the others to the 90th floor, even if the threat of the archer lies between the 70th and 75th floors, it won't be a problem."
"I have to live. My value is higher than theirs."
"But now that I think about it, I was really arrogant."
"Fortunately, you are very good. You discovered many things before entering the 70th floor. So I didn't make a big mistake."
"Wen Xishu, now it's my turn as an old man from the previous era to pave the way for you young people."
Wen Xishu was moved. For a moment, he was overwhelmed with thoughts and didn't know what to say.
But Mr. Jin was very generous and said:
"I know you still have a lot of doubts. You are also curious about who I am. In fact, I am the same. I am also curious about how far you have explored Long Xia's plan..."
"You have seen several of those five children. Do you know their whereabouts?"
