Chapter 272: Joint Action of the Bunker Old and Young

Chapter 272: Joint Action of the Bunker Old and Young
The bunker is hosting the funerals of two great men.

When Wen Xishu came back, it was early in the morning. After Yuan Ling very considerately brought a hot towel to apply on his face, Wen Xishu also noticed that there was a white flower pinned on Yuan Ling's clothes.

"Congratulations on completing another exploration. What did you gain this time?"

Wen Xishu’s harvest this time was quite significant.

At this moment, he had feathers on his body, but he could not see the name of the academy spirit. This was the Weird Tower Academy, a place where the power of the Weird Tower could be released.

Here, even the killer football can be used, using props such as handles.

But Wen Xishu looked at it for a while and indeed could not feel the power of the feather.

It seems that there are strict restrictions on the use of feathers.

"It's quite a harvest. Dean, is the principal in the bunker now? I have something to report to the principal. If possible, please help me contact Lady Evelyn. But William, Matthew, and Luo Feng should not contact them for the time being. Oh, by the way, we must also call Senior Xun Hui and Senior Wen Ren Jing. Human lives are at stake. It's urgent."

Yuan Ling heard that there was something very important to discuss.

"Please move to the garden of Yuta Academy. I will contact them soon. They will be waiting for you there."

Wen Xishu nodded.

Soon, the temple spirit left.

After the temple spirit left, Wen Xishu took out the feather.

The feathers still have a colorful luster.

"It seems that it cannot be used in places that meet the conditions for using the Weird Tower prop... Strictly speaking, it is not a Weird Tower prop."

“It’s an outside prop.”

"So, it can only be used in the real place of obsession, that is, the orthodox Weird Tower level?"

Wen Xishu actually has two more invitations.

But he was not sure about the nature of the invitation letter, whether it could be considered a place of obsession.

The Land of Obsession is a strange place where the obsessions of all living beings in the apocalypse converge. Every mission is actually to help someone resolve their obsession.

Wen Xishu got this feather, and naturally wanted to use it to hunt some high-end targets.

But unfortunately, the usage scenarios of feathers are very demanding.

"If I use the feather to kill a target that is not in the obsession scene... like Sagittarius? Is it feasible?"

Wen Xishu's intuition told him that this was not feasible.

"Because the feather requires me to kill at least seven people once I start using it."

"This doesn't seem to be a restriction... or even meaningless. After all, I know more than seven enemies."

"But if it is limited to the people in the Weird Tower scene during my climb... then if there are not seven people in the Weird Tower."

Wen Xishu could imagine that the consequence of being attacked by the props in the Land of Death would inevitably be death itself.

So far, he has indeed experienced scenarios without seven people.

For example, the place that Tang Rui is obsessed with.

Seven people need to be killed in Tang Rui's obsession... and if there is a scene restriction as he guessed, then it means that this thing can only kill its own people.

There is no doubt that the feather is a magical artifact, but if you interpret it carefully, you will find that it exudes something sinister.

"It's better to be cautious... I still have to prepare for the worst-case scenario I guess."

Wen Xishu had an idea in his mind, but for the moment, he couldn't climb the tower immediately.

……

……

Bunker, forbidden area of ​​the garden of Desire Tower Academy.

The spirit of the temple was very efficient. He first contacted Albert, and then Albert contacted Evelyn and Xun Hui. Xun Hui contacted Wenren Jing.

Soon, the forbidden garden became lively again.

When Wen Xishu arrived here, several people were already waiting for him.

Wen Xishu had to say that Yuan Ling's efficiency was truly unmatched, and it was such a great experience to have such a private butler.

The few people did not exchange pleasantries, and Yuan Ling emphasized that it was something very important.

Albert found a good entry point. He said:
"I had a dream. I dreamed that you emphasized holding a funeral for Lao Jin and Liu Zhizai, and wanted everyone to know their greatness, sing praises to them, and mourn them...Xiao Shu, is this dream a coincidence?"

"I don't think I'm the type of person who mourns other people. I'm not really into big funerals."

"But this dream is so strange. It gives me a sense of déjà vu. How should I put it? The tone of the dream is very similar to the feeling of my old dead friends appearing in my dreams."

Evelyn finally understood what Albert said. It was she who originally requested the funeral, and Albert agreed, but after the funeral, Albert wanted to hold it again.

Now, she totally understands.

Wen Xishu nodded. The old principal was still reliable.

"Principal, thank you very much. It was indeed me who told you in your dream. What I am going to say next... may seem very strange to you."

"In short, I went to hell."

Everyone was shocked.

Wenrenjing sighed:
"Your adventure is really...very unique."

Albert said:

"Tell me more about it. Did you go to the underworld to have a dream because you saw Lao Jin and Liu Zhizai?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I will tell you what I know... but you may think it is blasphemy, but I assure you that what I say is true."

Next, Wen Xishu began to tell everything that had happened to him.

Including the Wen family he met.

Because from Wen Tingyun, Wen Xishu was convinced that the deaths in the Wen family were not simple, and that the Wen family committed those things with a sense of tragedy and mission.

When hearing this, Xun Hui was fine, but Wen Renjing seemed a little excited. This surprised Evelin. This kid climbed the Desire Tower and practiced emotional control. Why did he get so upset when he heard about the Wen family?

Xun Hui knew that Wen Renjing had always wanted to overturn the case for the Wen family and had always wanted to prove that Wen Chaohua had her own reasons.

But Xun Hui was very calm, because he believed in one thing: no matter what difficulties your Wen family had, you killed someone, and you killed someone, and you should pay with your life.

Just because the fate you bear has profound significance doesn't mean you can kill those who don't have it in your eyes, right?

Xun Hui also recognizes Wen Chaohua as a friend, but he is far less emotional than Wen Renjing.

Of course, Wen Xishu just had a brief chat with Wen Tingyun, and his purpose was not to clear the Wen family, but to bring out some rules of the underworld.

For example, merit.

In the second half of Wen Xishu's story, he also mentioned that he went to the underworld three years later. At that time point...

Xun Hui, Wen Ren Jing, all of them are dead.

Hearing this, Albert frowned.

Wen Xishu did not keep the person in suspense and quickly explained the reason.

After he finished telling the whole story, he concluded:

"The Jin Zhenyuan I met in the underworld... was not the real Jin Zhenyuan, but the elder Liu Zhizai."

"Jin Zhenyuan...is not in the underworld."

"I think he is not dead yet. Because he is not dead, the huge cause and effect has not been settled... at least not completely."

"Not long after, Senior Xun Hui and Senior Wen Ren, both of you arrived at the 70th floor, and were killed by Sagittarius."

"Also, Mr. Jin seems to have the ability to transform into someone else."

"In Liu Zhizai's memory, there was a sentence said by Mr. Jin. He said that you will become a part of me."

"And Longxia's Longyin Plan also has a god. The ability of that god is to make other Longxia people become part of him."

"They believe that a super warrior who has merged countless people is a god who can change the fate of mankind."

"This plan, as far as I know, has failed. I once experienced a large migration of Longxia people in the Desire Tower. During the migration, they talked about that god - went crazy."

"I'm thinking that the premise of going crazy is that the god was once normal. In other words, Long Xia really created a god with outstanding combat power."

“But it was unstable, which led to madness.”

"And part of that god's abilities are very similar to Mr. Jin's. There is a deep connection between them."

"Mr. Jin should always be thinking about Long Xia's plan. Perhaps he cares more about Long Xia's underground fortress than the bunker. He cares more about the god created by Long Xia than...breaking through the 100th floor together." "I don't know what happened recently that made Mr. Jin, who has been dormant for decades, suddenly take action. I can't see his purpose clearly and don't know what he is doing."

"But everything I said is true. He must have had some agenda."

This is too much information.

Evelin kept shaking her head, expressing her disbelief, not believing that Lao Jin had been hiding so deeply.

Albert's gaze was like a sharp sword as he looked at Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he dodge, but just responded to Albert calmly.

"I am very happy that Lao Jin is not dead... But I find it hard to believe your guess that his heart is not in the bunker but in Longxia."

"Evelyn and I followed Lao Jin step by step. Along the way, we witnessed the hesitation of mankind in the face of the apocalypse, and also witnessed the glory of Lao Jin leading us to create a new civilization and even a prosperous era."

"Now you tell me that this man who created a new civilization for mankind... doesn't love the bunker at all. I don't believe it!"

Wen Xishu guessed this.

Guessed everyone's reaction.

If it were Luo Feng at this moment, he might have attacked himself.

In fact, he could make up a lie in which Mr. Jin could appear respectable. Then, as more evidence came out, he would reveal the truth bit by bit.

But Wen Xishu didn't want to lie to the old principal.

"If you don't believe it... then go to the 70th floor. The ones who can go to the 70th floor now are Senior Xun and Senior Wenren. If you don't mind sacrificing them and testing it, you can give it a try."

"Old principal, I have always respected you. But think about it, these days, Mr. Jin's frequency of activities, compared to before... isn't it too active?"

"Have you found Jin Shan?"

Wen Xishu suddenly asked.

Albert actually knew that Wen Xishu would not make such wild remarks as to attack Lao Jin.

Albert sighed:

"I...maybe I'm really getting old and confused. I don't know how to make this decision for the moment. As for Xiao Jin, we already have some clues."

"He is in the Three Towers Academy, but he is hiding. If he leaves the Three Towers Academy, his ability will be ineffective, so we have been sealing him off."

"Not long ago, a student reported to the police that there was a ghost that could transform and looked exactly like him."

"This ability is quite tricky. In order not to cause panic or force the son of an old friend into a dead end, I plan to close the net slowly."

"Don't worry, I can find him within three days. No, it won't even take that long."

Xiao Jin was hiding from them. Wen Xishu had a feeling that Xiao Jin might be very confused at the moment and was in a situation where he didn't know who to trust.

He guessed that Xiao Jin was the one who assassinated him, but Xiao Jin himself might not know why he did it.

Find Xiao Jin and you will unlock the information for the next stage.

Wen Xishu was not in a hurry, he believed in the principal.

He also knew that the principal actually believed in him.

But now, these things that I said really made the principal feel very painful.

Wen Xishu said:
"I can also accept...Senior Evelyn's test. This is the Desire Tower area. You can try to use some of your abilities on me. I won't resist."

"You can test whether what I said is true or false."

“Maybe my words don’t represent the truth, but I can guarantee that at least I was honest.”

Being willing to accept Evelyn's test speaks volumes.

Evelyn was also in pain.

She recalled that Lao Jin had said many gentle words to people of all levels who lived a stable life. Lao Jin said:

"In fact, being able to achieve this, I have done my best, right? It's great to be able to do this, right?"

At that time, Evelin kept nodding.

It's amazing that he was able to lead people to open up a new base for survival in a world full of demons, turmoil, killing and death...

In the beginning, he relied on his own strength, constantly brought back supplies to feed everyone, and constantly encouraged others to climb the tower, and finally established the entire social order and survival system.

This is really amazing.

But such people are not in the bunker at heart and are eager to return to Longxia.

What a contradiction.

But Evelin now somewhat believes it.

Wen Xishu had no reason to lie.

And Lao Jin has indeed been very active recently.

“As long as we find Xiao Jin, maybe we can confirm some of our guesses.” Evelin thought to herself.

Xun Hui and Wen Ren Jing looked at Wen Xishu, and Xun Hui said:
"You said earlier that I would die if I went to the 70th floor of the Slaughter Tower. If I don't go now, does that count as you reversing life and death?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Of course it counts, but this situation is different from me bringing you back directly from the Land of the Dead. I have also asked this question before. Changing the fate of the living in the world of the living does not count as breaking the rules of the Land of the Dead."

Xun Hui asked again:

"If Sagittarius doesn't leave, does that mean we won't be able to go to the 70th floor?"

Wen Xishu thought about it and nodded:

"I think we can't do anything to him for now."

Xun Hui looked back at Albert:
"If the old man, plus me, and one more person who is holding us back, can we piece together a seventy-layer hierarchy and then go and kill Sagittarius?"

What a rigid idea and behavior.

Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I'm afraid not. Because his location is very special. Simply put, you can't find him, but he can attack you."

Xun Hui was silent for a while before speaking:
"That's too frustrating. What on earth are these constellations?"

Wen Xishu was also unclear:
"This is something we will explore later. We only know how to play the three towers, but we don't really have a deep understanding of them."

Albert listened to the students' conversation.

He quickly came to his senses and said:
"Thank you for Lao Jin's information. This information is very important. Xun Hui, Jingzi, you must not try to climb to the 70th floor."

Wen Xishu said:
"You believe me?"

Albert patted Wen Xishu on the shoulder:

"I will not doubt my companions, just as I once believed in Lao Jin. In fact, what you said cannot prove how evil Lao Jin is."

"It only proves that Lao Jin has a different stance, but as a friend and the owner of the bunker, he has done well enough."

"In my opinion, Lao Jin may have sensed something recently. He made a choice and wanted to do his best for Long Xia's plan."

"I trust my friends."

Everyone was silent. Evelin's eyes softened.

People like Albert will never betray someone easily once they have identified him as a friend.

Wen Xishu envied people like the old man.

He also hoped that Mr. Jin would not be an enemy during the tower climbing journey.

"I don't know who to trust, but I trust everyone here." Wen Xishu didn't say this, but he thought so in his heart.

There is no doubt that after Mr. King left, the first person to enter the bunker was Albert.

Compared to Mr. Jin, Albert didn't have so many twists and turns, no complicated positions and twists. He had only one goal - to break through the 100th floor and solve the three-tower puzzle.

An absolute action man.

He quickly made a choice and decision:
"But no matter what, we have to figure out the mystery surrounding Old Jin."

"Evelyn, go observe Lao Luo recently and talk to him more. Lao Luo is the one Lao Jin trusts the most among his many subordinates. Maybe Lao Luo knows something."

"As for me, I have to find that little guy first. Maybe he knows some of Lao Jin's secrets."

Wen Xishu thought so too, and had to find Xiao Jin as soon as possible.
