Chapter 261 Miracle Journey
Chapter 261 Miracle Journey
Albert is the kind of person who can bear any sorrow.
At the moment, Lao Jin’s death makes him blame himself, but he can only accept it and let it serve as a notification.
Wen Xishu said:
"There are some clues. Maybe... maybe it's related to Xiao Jin, but I don't know where Xiao Jin has gone now."
Albert was still a little surprised when he heard Xiao Jin.
The death of Lao Jin made him feel that he needed to be nicer to the Five Elders, Lao Jin’s old subordinates.
Without Lao Jin, the real number one person in the bunker would really have to be him.
He has to guide these old guys who have passed the 90th level of the ladder and make them play their due value.
Of course, we also have to give them some hope like Lao Jin did.
Not only the old subordinates, but Xiao Jin also needs to be taken care of.
But now, if the murderer is Xiao Jin, then he must bear the pain and control Xiao Jin.
"Are you sure?" said Albert.
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I'm not sure. I just said that Xiao Jin meets the criteria, but it's also possible that the truth is far from what I speculated."
"I know that Xiao Jin has a certain ability, which is that he can transform into someone else. This is also what Mr. Jin mentioned to me."
"His transformations can even... imitate the constellations."
"But when you get to the bunker, you're naturally weakened. But you can also imitate the veterans."
"When Mr. Jin was around, Xiao Jin seemed to be relatively stable. He also seemed very kind to us."
"But once Mr. King left, he lost control perhaps."
"But I have no evidence. As I said before, maybe it's someone else."
Albert nodded:
"How is your injury?"
Wen Xishu touched the wound:
"It's all right now."
Albert looked at Luo Feng:
"Lao Luo, can you use your hand again?"
Luo Feng was puzzled. He was Mr. Jin's oldest subordinate and was the most uncomfortable at the moment, still immersed in grief.
But Albert said so, and he did it anyway.
Luo Feng used his Penetrating Hand towards the air at an incredibly fast speed. Although it did not hit any physical object, the power was indeed quite strong.
Albert said:
"How much strength?"
Luo Feng said:
"Three points."
Albert looked at Wen Xishu:
"how do you feel?"
Wen Xishu understood what Albert meant:
"not enough."
Luo Feng said nothing more and used his Guanshou again. This time, Wen Xishu could not see him.
I just felt that Luo Feng seemed to have made a move, but also seemed not to have made a move.
Albert said:
"I have to use 90% of my strength this time."
Luo Feng nodded, not surprised by Albert's observation ability.
Wen Xishu said:
"Slightly better than the one that tried to assassinate me. So, he can probably imitate 70% of it."
Albert said:
“That’s a huge threat.”
Wen Xishu agreed, and everyone agreed.
Being able to reach 70% of the combat power of the veterans, in an environment like the bunker... it can almost be said that he is killing indiscriminately.
Albert said:
"Just do what you need to do. Don't let the things in the bunker delay your progress."
"After your injuries are healed, go ahead and explore the strange tower if you want."
"I have to tidy up the bunker during this time. Don't worry, as long as I'm in the bunker, no one can hurt you."
"As for your murderer, I will give you an answer within three days."
"If he's still in the bunker, I'll be able to find him."
Wen Xishu nodded. With the old principal's words, he felt much more at ease.
At this time, Luo Feng, one of the five elders, suddenly spoke:
"Albert, Zhizai...how is he?"
One of the five elders, Yanagi Orizai, the behind-the-scenes protector of the Miyamoto family. He was also one of the first people to follow Mr. Jin.
Not long ago, Yanagi climbed the tower with Mr. Jin.
Albert said:
"There's no breath left. Accept it. We've been losing all these years, haven't we?"
Luo Feng looked melancholy and looked even older.
Even Evelin showed slight wrinkles as she sighed.
"Can we... defeat those constellations?"
Perhaps he thought of something, the dejected Luo Feng suddenly had a light in his eyes.
Albert liked this look, it was a look of revenge.
Wen Xishu discovered at this moment that Elder Luo might have lost himself at the pinnacle of power, but deep down in his heart, he was still a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
"Sagittarius? Then you have to work hard. If you want to kill him before me, Lao Luo, you have to practice desperately."
Albert patted Luo Feng on the shoulder.
Over the years, the grudges between Albert and several veterans seemed to have become unimportant with the death of Lao Jin.
Facing Albert's words, Luo Feng just said lightly:
"it is good."
……
……
The conversation between the few people ended quickly. Next, for Evelin and others, there were still many things to deal with.
The pioneer of the bunker, this low-key Mr. Jin, is actually unknown to many people in the bunker.
Only some older people know some of the legends about Mr. Jin.
But soon, Mr. Jin's deeds began to appear in people's discussions.
Because these things are no longer secrets.
It was also because Evelyn insisted on holding a funeral for Mr. King. Albert thought about it and approved it. After all, this old friend was worthy of being recorded in history. Maybe the old friend himself didn't like to be so "high-profile", but since he was dead, it didn't hurt to be high-profile once.
For many days to come, many people in the bunker wore a white paper flower on their chest.
Many of them did not know Mr. Jin, but when they saw some leaders of the Bunker Security Bureau and people from the six major families wearing them, they started wearing them too.
Soon, more and more people began to wear flowers to express mourning.
There was also a faint atmosphere of sadness in the bunker.
There is currently no natural death in the bunker because Wen Xishu has extended the natural lifespan of everyone.
This means that the people who died either met with an accident in the bunker or died while climbing the tower.
Obviously, the latter is much more likely.
Not long ago, the incident of Dean Wen being assassinated was gradually forgotten by the public.
As for Wen Xishu, the day after the conversation in the garden, after meeting Zheng Zaihou, he started the next round of tower climbing.
It is worth mentioning that Wen Xishu discovered that Zheng Zai got two orange props.
The Horn of Competition (Silver), the Scales of Chaos (Insane).
To put it simply, the difference between Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai is that in the competition corner, Wen Xishu's is golden, while Zheng Zai's is silver.
The effect is the same, creating a competition, but the Silver Horn has no rules that favor the holder.
The same goes for the Scales of Chaos (Epilepsy). Zheng Zai can put an item on the scale to create a "third-party force" of the corresponding level.
But unlike Wen Xishu, there is no protection time.
Wen Xishu's Scale of Chaos will not be attacked by third-party forces of the Scale of Chaos in the first two hours, but Zheng Zai's is not the case.
But even so, Zheng Zai's props are orange.
Wen Xishu felt very strange.
Zheng Zai's props are different from his own props.
Logically speaking, he should also have a share of Lao Zheng's prize. But he soon found out the reason.
What he actually got at the beginning were the Horn of Competition (Silver) and the Scales of Chaos (Insane).
He and Lao Zheng both got it, and with his insane dice, he got the item that Lao Zheng had obtained - so Wen Xishu got two copies of the Horn of Competition (silver) and two copies of the Scales of Chaos (insane).
The two merged into one, becoming the Corner of Competition, and the Scale of Chaos.
Of course, no matter what, Lao Zheng not only got the sequence mutation killing, but also got two orange items, which are all good things.
Wen Xishu actually wanted to ask this.
After understanding all this, the next thing he had to do was to find Xiao Jin.
Only by finding Xiao Jin can I confirm some of my guesses.
It's a very strange feeling.
Wen Xishu thought it was very immoral.
Very immoral. Very... judging others by one's own standards. So when this feeling came to him, he examined himself -
Have I become so dark?
This feeling was that he felt that Mr. Jin might not be dead.
Perhaps if we find Xiao Jin, all the questions will be answered.
But this was not something he was good at. Several elders and Albert were doing this.
In addition, the Guita Academy has not officially started classes yet...
So Wen Xishu decided not to waste time and started the login program.
Maybe after exploring the strange tower, the old principal and his friends will find Xiao Jin, and everything will have an answer.
……
……
Wen Xishu started his fifteenth tower climbing in his life and his fourteenth trip to the mysterious tower.
He explored relatively deeply each time, and although he had only climbed a dozen times, he was already far ahead of others.
So far, Wen Xishu has two special invitation letters.
One is from Gemini and one is from Scorpio, although Scorpio's has not yet been received.
However, in the short term, he does not consider using invitation letters to complete such tasks.
"Keep climbing the tower, strengthen yourself, and don't rush."
With this in mind, Wen Xishu embarked on his fourteenth journey to the Strange Tower.
【Welcome to the three tower game. 】
[Special item "Crazy Dice" detected, do you want to throw it? ]
Wen Xishu rolled the insane dice again.
This time, the result of the Crazy Dice was a number that should have appeared long ago, because the Crazy Dice could easily produce some special arrangements. And this arrangement was definitely quite special.
But looking back...the points were never thrown out.
Count, one, two, three.
Although the colors of the three dice are different, Wen Xishu has now discovered that the color of the dice does not seem to affect the result.
For example, white dice, black dice, and red dice, no matter how one, two, and three are distributed on the three dice, the final result is actually the same.
One, two, three. Wen Xishu then realized that this was the first time he had thrown this combination.
The options given by the insane dice are as follows.
Wen Xishu can only choose one.
A gambling option that gets high rewards but wastes ability - minimalism.
An item upgrade option that allows newly acquired items to be upgraded in quality - Quality Upgrade.
As well as various combat capability enhancement options that halve consumption and make combat smooth - smooth.
There is also a new option, one that is exclusive to One Two Three.
The fourth option is a guaranteed minimum.
The guaranteed effect is as follows: It is triggered when the points are 1, 2, or 3. Effect: When you are on the 40th floor or below, any damage you cause will cause at least 5/1000 of the opponent's maximum health. When you are on the 41st to 50th floor, any damage you cause will cause at least 3/1000 of the target's maximum health. When you are on the 51st to 60th floor, any damage you cause will cause at least 1/1000 of the target's maximum health. Note: When the above damage is caused, the opponent cannot recover health for a short period of time.
Wen Xishu remembered.
I had thrown out one point before, and when I was climbing the Slaughter Tower, I had thrown out four, five, and six.
The option for number four, five, and six is “capped”.
It is triggered when the points reach the maximum consecutive number of four, five, and six, and the effect is to withstand damage without being killed instantly.
One, two and three are a perfect match, and their name is "bottom line", which means at least they will not fail to break the opponent's defense.
In other words, assuming the opponent's defense is max, his HP is 1000, and his HP recovery rate is 1000...
Then below the 40th level, at least you can ignore defense, deal five points of damage, and ineffective the opponent's life recovery speed.
"An interesting option. If I encounter some monsters that cannot be broken by the mechanism during this exploration of the spooky tower, can I disrupt the mechanism and kill them violently?"
In the game, many NPCs are unbeatable, but with this guarantee, they can become game destroyers.
Although quality improvement is very tempting, as the saying goes, choose new over old.
Wen Xishu decisively chose the fourth option - guaranteed return.
……
……
The rest area of the tower.
In the lively rest area, many people shared their experiences of exploring the mysterious tower.
Outside the area, many people have explored the strange tower for the second time. Faced with this unreasonable strange tower, they have no idea what to do...
People all have the desire to apply to the Guita Academy.
Wen Xishu has to say that William Hockner is a very promising and practical man.
In just a few days, William Hawkner had spread the news of his welfare policy of the Tower of Trickster Academy throughout the bunker.
Wen Xishu did not go to the strange tower immediately, but stopped in the Tianyuan area and listened for a while.
"You plan to apply for Weird Tower Academy? That's right... It's not just about climbing the tower, the quality of life has also changed."
"Yes, the treatment for climbing the spooky tower is really good now."
"But don't forget, climbing the spooky tower is very dangerous. It doesn't mean you can pass it safely just by learning it."
"Nonsense, what's not dangerous? The Slaughter Tower was dangerous before. We are not afraid of risking our lives, but we are afraid that we won't get a good price for our lives."
"Now I have good food and drink, and the treatment for climbing the strange tower is as generous as that of a noble. I am willing to work hard for it."
It has to be said that the wishes and demands of the common people are simple - treatment.
This is like one’s past life.
Overtime? Of course you can, as long as you pay me enough. The company is my home, and it is not your boss' turn to educate me. I can do it myself.
The reason why people resist working overtime is simply that the benefits and efforts are seriously disproportionate.
Climbing the strange tower is very dangerous, but now, those who climb the strange tower have received rewards that allow them to face the danger.
Without Hawkner, Wen Xishu really wouldn't be able to do this in a short time.
After listening to other people's discussions for a while, Wen Xishu also began to review his own tasks.
This time, the game effect provided by the Scorpio Sword is a portal.
To put it simply, Scorpio Knife will place some portals throughout the entire mission map, and players can use the portals to reach other portals.
Doesn't seem to have much effect, since the portal needs to be activated first.
But Wen Xishu’s mission this time is called “Miracle Journey”.
【Task Description: Welcome to the 40th floor of the Weird Tower. Although the level here is low, due to people's taboos about certain numbers, a special area has been created here.
Death is the greatest farewell, the most absolute farewell, and the obsession with longing for reunion will always be the obsession among obsessions.
Are the rules of life and death really unshakable? You will have a chance to go to the depths of the netherworld, where countless dead spirits gather. Please make every critical choice and then return to the human world.
Please observe carefully, discern carefully, and make the right choice in every critical choice, otherwise... the netherworld is not the starting point, but the end point. 】
This mission is spooky.
Wen Xishu looked at the mission information and frowned:
"If I understand correctly... this mission is to go to hell, carry a dead person from the pile of dead bodies to the world of the living?"
This mission gave him a shocking feeling.
But the question is, is it really possible?
If life and death can both cause insanity, then can't zodiac signs do the same?
There are many doubts about this mission, but Wen Xishu still finds it quite interesting.
"Assuming this is really the land of the dead, maybe we can take a look and see if there are any acquaintances there?"
