Chapter 245 Fusion

Chapter 245 Fusion
What about the five?
Wen Xishu immediately realized:
"Phoenix and I had a good relationship, and he found a way to extricate himself. Sirius' whereabouts are unknown, and after I rescued him, we parted ways."

"He may well have fallen into the hands of Scorpio."

"As for the rest...I have to keep it a secret."

Wen Xishu didn't say whether he knew or not. He asked for a secret. He didn't give any details about Phoenix and Sirius.

But indeed, his attitude gave Mr. Jin the feeling that he did know a lot.

Mr. Jin said:
"I really didn't expect that you would encounter such an experience. It can be seen that climbing the strange tower is very valuable, but the most important thing is to go deeper."

"The level is not about being high, but about each level being deep enough. You are very good, surpassing me and Albert back then."

Mr. Jin gave it a very high evaluation.

Wen Xishu seemed flattered and shook his head:
"I am not on the same level as you and the old principal. By the way, Senior Jin, I have something I want to ask you."

Mr. Jin said:
"But you can say it. Before I leave, I shouldn't bring some secrets that are valuable to you to the underworld."

These words were indeed very righteous, but Wen Xishu always felt that Mr. Jin's epiphany... or change was too fast.

After hiding in seclusion for decades, just because of his recent inference about Xiao Jin... he decided to come out?
Of course, Wen Xishu did not reveal any flaws in his superficial efforts:
"Ding Dong...Does this name impress you?"

"Little Phoenix, of course I remember you, one of my children." Mr. Jin smiled with a hint of nostalgia.

"That was the first 'God' we came into contact with. He was a talented kid, very good. The items he made might be able to help us deal with the end of the world... or even find a pure land."

Mr. Jin seemed very sorry and remorseful. Wen Xishu said nothing.

Mr. Jin said:
"But I still made a mistake. I should have tried my best to stop those radicals from carrying out their Swan Project, trying to dissect Ding Dong."

"I couldn't bear it, but I couldn't betray my country, so I let Ding Dong go."

It roughly matches the plot I know.

Wen Xishu said:
“You are from Longxia.”

Mr. Jin did not deny it.

"So if you let Ding Dong go, will this result in... you being punished?"

Mr. Jin said:
"Yes, for a while, I will stay in the experimental base on the island... the most dangerous place, waiting for punishment."

"I believe my country will still need me."

Wen Xishu's heart skipped a beat.

He is hiding something!

This doesn’t match what Wei Ping’an said!

Wen Xishu began to recall what Wei Pingan had said, that is, the conductor of Longxia's Chosen Train. At that time, Wei Pingan said:
“This is the Swan Project.”

"The person in charge of the project is a man as outstanding as you. His name is Jin Zhenyuan."

"But he betrayed us... He let go of this child who had such a great connection with God."

"But Jin Zhenyuan is an extremely outstanding person, and we need his strength... We have arranged for people to go to the island to bring Jin Zhenyuan back. He loves the child too much, and we can understand that."

"But what happened next was beyond our expectations. It was as if Jin Zhenyuan had gained super powers. He defeated all the experts we arranged by himself."

"It turns out that Mr. Jin Zhenyuan has obtained some divine power through some unknown means."

"His physique is different from that of an ordinary person. His reaction, skills, and speed are far superior to those of humans."

"Jin Zhenyuan did not kill his former comrade, he just left a message... The future of mankind does not lie in the real world, please do not contact him again."

Wen Xishu was sure that Mr. Jin had already discovered something and knew at that time that both the Swan Plan and the Chosen Plan would fail.

Only the bunker, this mysterious base that does not exist in the real world, is the real correct answer.

But the question is, what did Mr. King do?
Wen Xishu remained calm:
"So, how did you come to the bunker? In the old principal's memory, you were born to be a very powerful existence. You unified the various systems, languages, and currencies of the bunker. You are very much like an emperor in Longxia's history."

"Where does your power come from?"

This is a very presumptuous question. But Mr. Jin has his own answer:
"All this has to do with another child."

So far, Wen Xishu cannot judge whether Mr. Jin is good or evil, because in Wei Ping'an's eyes, this man has betrayed his country.

But this person has indeed made great contributions to the bunker people.

Moreover, the old principal's beloved friend who lives and dies with him so much must have some personal charm.

But out of caution, Wen Xishu still had to test many aspects.

He said:
"Could it be that you are talking about Jin Shan?"

Mr. Jin nodded:

"His name wasn't actually Jin Shan, but later I thought he should have a name, and since he was my grandson, I called him Jin Shan."

"But if one day you meet him outside the bunker, in the Three Towers World, and hear him call himself Jin Shan, don't be surprised."

"Because he can see time like a Pisces. He can see his future self and what he will be called."

Pisces?
How is this golden flash related to Pisces?

Mr. Jin said:
"Do you know what choice Long Xia made after the Swan Project failed?"

"They started the Chosen Project. They became obsessed with creating a god created by the Longxia people."

Wen Xishu certainly knew this, but he didn't respond.

Here, Wei Ping'an also mentioned that it was Libra who improved the Chosen Train and Aries provided the ceremony.

"Mr. Wen Xishu, we have been training true warriors. We have also found an ancient ritual of creating gods through two beings that are extremely close to gods."

"They are brothers and sisters of the Swan Project researchers. They didn't reveal their names, but one of them was holding a long walking stick with a sheep's head on the top."

"The other wore a loose robe with a scale carved on the back."

These are Wei Ping'an's original words.

At that time, Wen Xishu was still surprised that these two constellations actually joined forces. But he suddenly remembered that Mr. Jin just said that Xiao Jin could see the future like Pisces, and not long ago, Mr. Jin also said that Xiao Jin was a Gemini.

These words made Wen Xishu think of a possibility.

Is it possible that the owner of the sheep-head crutch, the owner of the robe with Libra printed on it, as Wei Pingan thought...

Aren't they actually Aries and Libra?
So Wen Xishu asked a question:
"From what I know, no matter what kind of ritual it is or the god-making plan, it requires special powers."

"But the state institutions at that time generally did not have this kind of power. What was the foundation of Longxia's deification?"

Wen Xishu asked cleverly, and Mr. Jin's answer was straightforward:

"From the golden flash."

Why does Xiao Jin feel like he’s getting more and more awesome?

Mr. King continued:
"In the process of raising Ding Dong, I also got Ding Dong's painstaking works. Maybe Ding Dong told you that he made some special works, such as gloves and compasses."

Wen Xishu nodded. He did not deny it.

Mr. Jin said:
"The compass that guided Ding Dong to meet you?"

Wen Xishu thought about it and decided to reveal the details, because in Ding Dong's description, "father" was very important, and it was "father" who asked him to make the compass.

It seems here that Mr. Jin is a very good person.

Wen Xishu said:
"Under the guidance of the compass, he turned danger into safety, withdrew from the Three Towers battlefield, and met some very good people who made up for his 'heart'."

Mr. Jin nodded:
"Thank you for telling me this. Next, let's talk about Jin Shan. He is actually a child I discovered very early using the compass."

"But I didn't report it because I knew that once I did, Jin Shan would become a victim of the Swan Project."

"Jin Shan may be able to replace Ding Dong, but the compass led me to meet him, not just to replace Ding Dong."

"At first, Jin Shan was very dull and a very weak child, about the same level as a two-year-old human. He looked harmless. Of course, like those constellations, he stopped changing after he reached a certain age. But that happened later."

"What I want to tell you... is that Jin Shan will undergo some special changes."

Mr. Jin sighed:
"I'm sorry, I told Albert at first that he was a twin. On the one hand, I was not sure about the truth, and on the other hand, I didn't really want to tell Albert all this."

“I hope Albert can make good use of Xiao Jin and cultivate Xiao Jin.”

Wen Xishu said:
"It seems that Xiao Jin's special changes have had a great impact on you? What is Xiao Jin's identity?" After calming down, Mr. Jin said with a serious expression:

"I don't know. I still don't know what Xiao Jin is. But at the end, I saw Xiao Jin split into two people, so I said Gemini is the answer. He could be a constellation, maybe one of the twelve, or maybe one of the five weaker ones."

"But I've never seen a constellation like it."

"He...seems like he can transform into other constellations."

"I have seen him with the power of a lion to conquer everything. Everyone in the shelter seemed to be enslaved by him and worshipped him."

"I also saw him become evil and weird, causing the people in the shelter to kill each other."

"Of course, he would occasionally make some strange poses, like aiming, and then shake his head after a long time."

"You should have heard that he was imitating."

Wen Xishu indeed heard it.

This is really imitating the constellations. This Xiao Jin... can actually use the power of all the constellations?

No...it looks like a simplified version of the power of the constellations. At least, whether it is Leo or Sagittarius, the scale is far behind the real Leo and Sagittarius.

But it was weird enough.

What the hell is Xiao Jin?

"I have been taking care of him and trying to educate and influence him. These actions have been of some use. He has stopped hurting people around him."

"Actually... Xiao Jin was in the underwater shelter at the time. I secretly transported him here, while Ding Dong was in the island shelter. One of them was above the sea, and the other was below the sea."

"Ding Dong's personality is very stable, but Xiao Jin's is not. However, as various knowledge enters his mind and as I teach him, Xiao Jin begins to understand the concepts of good and evil."

"Most of the time, he suppressed his evil thoughts, like a sensible child like Ding Dong."

"Later... Ding Dong escaped. Xiao Jin told me that he heard it. I asked Ding Dong to follow the guidance of the compass and experience the world."

"He also wants to experience this world. But my intuition tells me that Xiao Jin is much more dangerous than Ding Dong."

"So I refused. But my refusal meant nothing."

"Not long after, Xiao Jin disappeared. He left the shelter without anyone noticing, and no one knew how he left."

"And shortly after that, I fell into a coma."

"When I woke up again, I had become a traitor to Long Xia. There was an extra memory in my mind, which was that I relied on my powerful strength to defeat all the armed forces of the Swan Project..."

"I felt like a superman. Ever since I woke up from my coma, I've gained power, tremendous power."

"Not only that, my inner confidence in Long Xia's doomsday defense plan began to waver. During that period, I seemed to have become a different person."

Wen Xishu thought about it and felt that if we judged by actions instead of heart... Mr. Jin was indeed quite strange.

Faced with the great issues, he stood on the side of the country, but let Ding Dong run away. He did not flee, but chose to accept the punishment calmly... But these are just verbal descriptions. The fact is that Mr. Jin suddenly gained power. He did not accept the punishment, but punished those who tried to punish him.

Wen Xishu tried to put himself in Wei Ping'an's shoes.

From Wei Ping'an's perspective, if we only look at Mr. Jin's trajectory,

Mr. Jin is indeed like a traitor. He stopped the Swan Project, but he secretly carried out the Swan Project and gained powerful power.

And using this power, he saw that Xiong Su's Sky Project, the Free State's Ark Project, Long Xia's Swan Project... all failed.

The correct answer is in another world.

From this point of view, Mr. Jin is very likely a hidden evil being. He just hides himself very deeply. No one can see it.

But Wen Xishu suddenly thought of the people "Golden Flash" had come into contact with - Britney, Zhou Fei, Chris... They all had powerful powers.

From this point of view, Jin Shan is indeed very special, and Mr. Jin's power should come from Jin Shan.

"Now, are you sure that the Xiao Jin you brought back is the Xiao Jin from that year?" Wen Xishu asked.

Mr. Jin said:
"They look exactly the same. But after I brought him back to the bunker... all his magic seemed to have disappeared. He is indeed very qualified and has the talent to climb the Slaughter Tower, but it is not enough. Compared with the shock he brought to me many years ago, the bunker version of him seems like an ordinary person."

"So after I had Evelyn erase Xiao Jin's memory, I tried to have Albert cultivate him and tap into his potential."

"But something went wrong quickly while he was climbing the tower. It seemed that he shouldn't have climbed the Weird Tower, he should have climbed the Slaughter Tower."

Wen Xishu didn't know what to say for a moment. Mr. Jin continued:

"And the last time I saw Xiao Jin before I entered the bunker, he split into two people, and he began to imitate Gemini."

"I don't know what this portends, but I have a feeling that his imitation is not over yet. Maybe there is another Xiao Jin in the Three Towers World?"

“Like twins.”

Wen Xishu's heart skipped a beat. Mr. Jin then described the characteristics of twins:
"It is said that twins can only exert their full power when together, and once separated... both will be greatly weakened."

Wen Xishu understood what Mr. Jin said.

Xiao Jin can transform into certain constellations in turn, and possesses the mechanisms and powers of some constellations, but Gemini is very special...

Because of the twins, Xiao Jin's power is incomplete. Xiao Jin brought back by Mr. Jin -

It is very likely that it is just one of the twins, which can also explain why this Xiao Jin is far less powerful than the Xiao Jin at the beginning.

What Zhou Fei, Chris and others met was another Xiao Jin.

In fact, in a sense, Mr. Jin's stealing of one of the Little Jins actually affected Little Jin's ability to exert his original power.

Of course, Xiao Jin's becoming ordinary may also be due to the bunker. The bunker is very special and can limit certain powers.

"In addition, Long Xia's Chosen Plan is likely to be related to Xiao Jin. This is something I only learned after meeting Capricorn." Mr. Jin added.

Wen Xishu lowered his head, thinking about all the information.

The heart of fusion, a mixture of all the constellation forces... changing in turn, with an unstable temperament, but finally stopping at the change of Gemini.

Wen Xishu felt that there might be a connection here, but there were too few clues at the moment.

Mr. Jin said:
"Is there anything else you want to know? I will tell you."

Wen Xishu felt that there were too many things to dig up, and he also needed this information to judge what kind of person Mr. Jin was.

Unfortunately, until now, we still haven’t figured out who Xiao Jin is, and instead there are more bizarre things.

After thinking for a while, Wen Xishu said:
"The bunker...what happened at the beginning? You were the first person to enter the bunker, right?"

Mr. Jin did not hide:
"When I woke up from my coma, I knew the entrance to the bunker. I could reach the bunker through a special passage built by the guide."

"These memories... I don't know who they came from, but after I woke up, they were like established facts. In my mind, they reminded me that this was the only correct answer."

"I was indeed the first person to enter the bunker. It was also me who constantly guided others to enter the bunker amid the conflicts between the Sky Dome Project, the Chosen Project, and the Ark Project."

"Compared to other countries' plans that often involve millions of people, the initial population of the bunker was very small. The bunker also only had two levels at the beginning."

“Functional layer, residential layer.”

"With my great power, I became the master of the bunker at that time, and everyone had to survive under my arrangement."

Wen Xishu said:
"How did the bunker come to be? What's the three-tower game all about?"

This question was a big one, but Mr. Jin just stood up and left the futon. His white robe fluttered in the wind, making him look quite celestial:

"I am just a pawn in the torrent of fate."

"Ever since I met Jin Shan, I have been pushed by some force. The three towers are the chessboard and the rules, but if you ask me where these rules come from, what exactly is Xiao Jin, and what are the twelve constellations..."

"I can't answer those questions for you. I feel that my mission is accomplished, child. For a while, I felt that I was the man of destiny."

"Especially after waking up from a coma, I have great powers and memories that can really save others... All of this makes me feel like I have a mission to advance history."

"But later, I found that I was no longer special. Albert even gradually surpassed me. Then I realized——"

"It was all just because I was at that point, and the person playing chess... gave me a push."

"But I don't know what's going on."

Mr. Jin turned around, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, but there was also a spark in the depths of his eyes:
"I still have one last mission left, which is to open the way for you. As for those sources, you have to explore them by yourselves."

"Go climb the tower and let the three towers answer you."

(Happy May Day to all readers!)
