Chapter 268 Goodbye Mr. Jin
Chapter 268 Goodbye Mr. Jin
The head of the Wen family is called Wen Juanhai, and he is a man who looks quite elegant.
Generally speaking, people like this are either doing business in the bunker or in the Desire Tower.
However, Wen Juanhai was the second person in the Wen family to climb the Slaughter Tower, and he also had a place in the top 50 of the Slaughter Tower ladder.
Compared to others, Wen Juanhai, the head of the Wen family, knows more.
Whether Wen Chaohua's plan, or what she is seeking, can get the support of the Wen family actually depends on Wen Juanhai.
If he, the head of the family, did not support it, the Wen family might be in a different situation.
Now, except for the two brothers Hua and Shu, the entire Wen family has been slaughtered. However, Wen Juanhai does not think that he is going in the wrong direction.
He firmly believed that one day, even in hell, he would hear about Chaohua's deeds.
But even he had not expected that before the news of Chaohua's deeds came out, the first thing he heard was the story of the fool Xishu.
Wen Tingyun came to Wen Juanhai and told him part of his experience today.
"Are you sure it's not the Chaohua Divine Sect...but the Xishu Divine Sect?" Wen Juanhai was still surprised.
Wen Tingyun said:
"Uncle, the prejudice in people's hearts shouldn't be so deep."
Wen Juanhai nodded:
"Among the younger generation, you dislike Xiaoshu the most...If you are speaking up for Xiaoshu, then it seems that Xiaoshu has really made it."
Wen Tingyun said:
"Don't be surprised yet. There are more surprising things. They are even a little scary."
"Xiao Shu couldn't tell. He came to the underworld in the form of a living person."
Wen Juanhai subconsciously wanted to touch Wen Tingyun's forehead, wondering if this kid had lost his mind.
But the dead have no fever.
Afterwards, Wen Tingyun continued to tell his own guess.
After hearing these words, Wen Juanhai's expression changed continuously.
Death will cause some memories to disappear, and Wen Juanhai does not remember the scene of his death.
But he remembered some of the things he had said to Wen Chaohua.
It was an absurd conversation. Now it seemed that if I wasn't crazy, then Chaohua was crazy.
But when Chaohua said this crazy conversation, he still believed it.
Because... the interests involved are too important, and the future involved is too important.
"Dad, what we have to do...is to slaughter our compatriots in the Slaughter Tower. This is part of the plan."
"The Wen family may very well become criminals."
Wen Chaohua looked at Wen Juanhai calmly at that time.
It can be said that the status of the Wen family was raised by Wen Chaohua alone. Now, Wen Chaohua's plan seems to drag the Wen family into hell.
"You haven't even peeked into the highest level of the Weird Tower. Not to mention compared to Principal Albert, even Xun Hui and Wen Ren Jing... they are above you, kid."
"You haven't reached the ultimate, you haven't seen the battlefield at the top, do you dare to bet on all this?"
Wen Juanhai remembered asking this, and also remembered Wen Chaohua saying:
"The Weird Tower is very special. It doesn't mean that you won't get anything valuable if you are at a low level..."
"And the chances are really slim. I have to make a decision. Without this thing, there is no hope for humanity."
Wen Juanhai was unwilling to give in:
"Is there no other way?"
Wen Chaohua was silent for a long time, and finally he said:
"Yes. It will be a long journey, and I will die. I will have to pass it all on to the next generation."
Wen Juanhai remained silent, and Wen Chaohua continued:
"Dad, I don't trust the newcomers. Before the Trickster Tower appeared, the Great Devourer of the Slaughter Tower could be relied on by the principal, but after the Trickster Tower appeared, even the principal, facing the Great Devourer, it is hard to say whether he has a chance of winning."
"Besides, there are some beings who are superior to the teacher on the Three Towers battlefield."
"We... can only fight and gamble. Even if we fall into hell or into the abyss, we must not lose this opportunity!"
Wen Juanhai said:
"If you succeed, how far can you go?"
Wen Chaohua said:
"I can make the future of mankind no longer hopeless. I can break the rules of the Three Towers and no longer restrict me... or the little tree. No, it's not even just the Three Towers. The more times it is used, the stronger its power becomes. This is an opportunity to surpass God."
"In fact, I have already experienced this briefly."
"Next, I will do something extremely crazy in the Desire Tower to ensure that the relevant cause and effect will be directly destroyed by me in the Desire Tower."
"And to kill Tari... the Wen family would need to commit a crime comparable to treason."
When Wen Juanhai heard the word treason, he knew how bad this matter was.
"does it worth?"
"worth!"
"Even if you have no relatives? Even if your parents and brothers are dead, you still want to do it?"
Wen Chaohua was still a little hesitant when faced with this sentence, and finally just said softly:
"I have to go."
Wen Juanhai sighed:
"In that case, then do it. If you can really do that, mankind will have a better future, right?"
"Correct!"
"Then do it! The sin is immediate, but the benefit will be for generations to come! We, the Wen family, will bear the consequences of this sin!"
In fact, Wen Juanhai was not clear about where the so-called God was.
The Wen family was quickly wiped out. After all, no matter how powerful this family was, they had no chance of slaughtering the heroes on the Heavenly Ladder List in the Slaughter Tower.
But before that, Wen Juanhai did hear something...
Chaohua committed shocking killings in the Desire Tower where killing is not allowed.
"Uncle?" Wen Tingyun waved his hand, interrupting Wen Juanhai's memories.
The surprise on Wen Juanhai's face gradually disappeared:
"Did the little tree make it to the underworld alive?"
After this recollection, he no longer doubted this absurd fact.
Break the rules and break free from constraints.
In the final analysis, what Chaohua wanted to do back then was these eight words. Now, it seems that Xiaoshu has done it.
He suddenly smiled:
“That’s great… That’s great!”
Wen Tingyun said:
"You... believe my analysis?"
Wen Juanhai said:
"Of course I believe it. What Brother Huashu can do is naturally unimaginable for ordinary people. No matter how outrageous it is, I will believe it."
Wen Tingyun said again:
"Then what do we need to do? Xiaoshu came to the underworld...it doesn't look like he's coming for our Wen family."
Wen Juanhai said:
"In the underworld, what does our Wen family count for? We can't do anything. Let's not do it."
"Just don't hold us back. But you should bring some merits to him tomorrow."
"By the way, he didn't reveal himself and didn't recognize you?"
Wen Tingyun nodded:
"Yes, Xiaoshu didn't recognize me."
Wen Juanhai said:
"Then don't recognize him. Just treat it as helping a friend. And be smart. Don't let others target you and don't bring trouble to Xiaoshu. Also, I only need to know about this matter, and don't tell other members of the Wen family."
“Everyone has let it go, wondering why only the two brothers survived in the end, and everyone will definitely be happy for their achievements, but…”
"It is definitely taboo for a living person to come to the land of the dead. If the law enforcers find out, it may cause trouble for them."
Wen Tingyun responded:
"Don't worry."
The conversation between the two ended.
Wen Juanhai actually thought about contacting Wen Xishu if necessary... the Wen family doesn't mind dying again for this pair of brothers.
But in the end, he stopped.
Death is the greatest farewell, and the Wen family has made its own contribution.
Next, we should believe in the brothers. We have to keep their spirits and listen to future stories, right? Otherwise, how frustrating would it be?
……
……
In a downtown building in the Land of the Dead.
Wen Xishu had been waiting here for two days. He was so tired that he was no longer confident. Could it be that his dream had failed?
But the horse-headed lady clearly stated that the other party agreed very carefully and seriously in the dream. Generally speaking, in such cases, the delivery rate of dreams is absolutely up to standard.
But after all, it's just a dream, there's still too much instability.
So Wen Xishu was not sure either.
Fortunately... on the morning of the third day, Wen Xishu finally saw a familiar face who was not a member of the Wen family.
When the man pressed the number for the thirteenth floor of the elevator, Wen Xishu immediately stuck to it.
The elevator was still crowded.
In spirit form, there is no such thing as a heartbeat.
But when Wen Xishu saw that person's face, he still felt as if his heart was beating faster.
Jin Zhenyuan!
He was really here and saw Mr. Jin.
But the problem is that Mr. Jin's temperament seems to have changed.
Temperament is a mysterious thing. Some people say it is supported by money, some people say it is supported by makeup and dressing. As long as you know how to pose, anyone can have temperament.
Wen Xishu also doesn't really believe in temperament. It's like someone can naively say "To live meaningfully is to live well, and to live well is meaningful", and then his temperament can suddenly change and say "It determines who is superior and who is inferior, and also decides life and death".
But at this moment, Wen Xishu really felt that Mr. Jin was no longer as... immortal as the one he saw in the bunker.
Instead, there is a sense of stealing.
When Mr. Jin entered the thirteenth floor, Wen Xishu followed behind him and suddenly shouted:
"Yanagi disaster!"
Mr. Jin in front was shocked and turned around immediately.
He is now a ghost, in the form of a spirit, and to humans, he is a ghost.
But at this moment, he didn't seem to be a ghost, but more like a person who saw a ghost.
"What the hell!"
This thought suddenly appeared in Liu Zhizai's mind.
How come I met Wen Xishu here?
When Wen Xishu saw the other person's expression, he knew that his guess was correct.
Liu Zhizai had lived for eighty or ninety years after all... he wouldn't be easily frightened, but the mere mention of "Liu Zhizai" immediately shocked the other party, which was enough to show that the three words "Liu Zhizai" were related to a secret.
Liu Zhizai suddenly realized that this was a trap!
Wen Xishu used some unknown means to gain a large amount of merits. Then when he received the news, he came to claim the merits, but Wen Xishu was here guarding him!
If we couldn't get along when he was alive, why wouldn't he let me go even after he died?
Liu Zhizai wanted to run, but Wen Xishu was already blocking the elevator door.
"You are hiding a secret, and you don't want the law enforcers to come, right?" Wen Xishu said.
In fact, Wen Xishu was more afraid of the law enforcers than Liu Zhizai, but he was now very clear that he had uncovered a carefully planned secret.
A death scam!
The one who feels guilty now is Liu Zhizai.
Regarding Mr. Jin’s death, all we need to do next is to interrogate him thoroughly and pry open Liu Zhizai’s mouth, and we will be able to learn some of the secrets behind it.
Wen Xishu said:
"I did all the good deeds for you. You don't need to thank me. For an old senior who died heroically in the Slaughter Tower, this is what I should do."
"But you can pick it up later, and then we can talk?"
Liu Zhizai said:
"Are you dead too?"
Wen Xishu shrugged:
"Yes, I died too. Seniors, I died right after you died."
Liu Zhizai suddenly laughed, and laughed wildly:
“Hahahahahahahahahaha… Good death, good death!”
"What bunker legend? What number one in the spooky tower? Good thing he died!"
"Wen Xishu, since you are dead, I am no longer afraid of you."
In fact, Liu Zhizai shouldn't have been afraid of Wen Xishu.
In terms of status and strength, he should be above Wen Xishu.
But Wen Xishu's words "Liu Zhizai" just now still caught him off guard.
Because he is not Liu Zhizai after all.
So subconsciously, he was thinking, could it be that Wen Xishu knew something?
Why is it that it's still haunting us and has even followed us here?
When he thought this way, his momentum was weakened.
But now, Liu Zhizai came to his senses. This was the upper spiritual area, not the lower spiritual area. There was no conflict between spirits here.
Even if you, Wen Xishu, are here to protect me, what can you do?
"There's nothing much for you and I to talk about. You are just like me now, a deceased person, and the deceased should let go of their obsessions."
They were all dead and no one could do anything to anyone else, so Liu Zhizai became tough.
Wen Xishu said:
"I need to know why you are wearing Mr. Jin's appearance. Your name is not on the death list, but Liu Zhizai, why are you here?"
Liu Zhizai was no longer afraid, and said with a frown:
"It's incomprehensible. I don't understand what you are saying. I am Jin Zhenyuan, not Liu Zhizai."
Wen Xishu applauded:
"Okay, okay, do you think I can't do anything to you?"
Liu Zhizai said:
"Do you think this is a spooky tower or a bunker? This is the underworld! Even if it's God, even if it's the God with the bow and arrow, I can't blaspheme him here, and he can't do anything to me, let alone you?"
Wen Xishu didn't say much and suddenly came to Liu Zhizai's side.
Then he patted Liu Zhizai's shoulder. There was implicit strength in this pat, but in the eyes of outsiders, it looked like old acquaintances reminiscing about the past.
Liu Zhizai was shocked. He actually felt some kind of power!
This is impossible!
Something beyond his cognition happened, causing him to stare at Wen Xishu with eyes wide open in disbelief.
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Don't make a sound, or I won't mind shattering your spirit. After death, you can die again, you know? If you die again, you will have nothing."
Liu Zhizai didn't dare to say anything more.
Wen Xishu broke the rules of the underworld?
How is this possible?
Things that were beyond common sense made Liu Zhizai's brain a little confused.
When he reacted, Wen Xishu had already brought him to the outside of the building.
Afterwards, under the hostage of Wen Xishu, Liu Zhizai was forced to come to a basement where spirits were scarce.
Wen Xishu said:
"I'm not sure whether you died a heroic death or were the victim of some conspiracy, so I didn't disrespect you too much."
"But you know I can hurt spirits. I can shatter souls."
"understand?"
Liu Zhizai has not yet recovered from this weirdness. He still can't believe it. Wen Xishu is even weirder than the existence in the strange tower.
This is the underworld!
Wen Xishu said:
"Now, you must answer my questions. If you don't want your soul to be scattered, if you still want to receive that merit and live a carefree life in the underworld, then you'd better answer every one of my questions truthfully."
Liu Zhizai wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he still said:
"What...what do you want to know?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Tell me, Jin Zhenyuan, is he dead?"
Liu Zhizai did not hesitate and blurted out:
"He's dead, Mr. Jin is dead, he went to the lower spirit area!"
The Lower Spiritual District was really dangerous. Wen Xishu knew very well that once he went there, he would never be able to come back.
Once the devil gets there, it will only take a few minutes for him to die.
So Wen Xishu didn't dare to go to the lower spiritual area.
"The founder of the bunker went to the Lower Spiritual District? How could he go to the Lower Spiritual District when so many people respect him?"
"Moreover, Mr. Liu, you answered my question so thoughtlessly that I felt there was something wrong."
Wen Xishu said:
"You know, I actually have a very special skill in getting information in the Desire Tower."
"Coincidentally, this set of techniques also applies to the underworld."
