Chapter 284 Democratic Albert

Unlike usual, Wen Xishu usually sent all the facilities to the second floor. But this time, Wen Xishu sent the prison to the eighth floor - Weird Tower Academy.

The reason is simple. The prison has to consider jailbreaking. Once they break out, they will come out to the Strange Tower Academy, which will surely make the prisoners feel warm.

After doing all this, Wen Xishu asked a question:
"You are guides. Why did you become guides? What is the reason for you being here? Where did this place originate from?"

This question made the black ghost head stunned. After a short silence, the black ghost head said:
"You know what I'm going to say."

White Desire Head said:

"Hard to say."

The red head nodded and said:

"No, it's better not to say it."

Wen Xishu interrupted the Black Head-Slaying combo:
"Let me change the question. Is the place I am in part of the Land of Obsession?"

The guide from the Three Pagodas didn't quite understand why Wen Xishu asked such... questions about the origin today.

"You're acting weird today." said the black weird head.

Wen Xishu did not ask any more questions:
"I will know sooner or later. According to the natural progress, I will be on the 50th floor now, right?"

The black head nodded:
"Really? It's amazing how fast you climbed fifty floors in just over three months. You're truly gifted. Will there be people who climb the tower faster than you in the future? I'm really looking forward to it. Chop, chop, chop, chop."

Wen Xishu said:
"If a hundred floors is the limit... are we about halfway through the journey? Although we can't really count that way, since the first half is flat and the second half is steep."

"But I gradually realized something. Obsession can really create a lot of things. Under the influence of the tower, even the people in the underworld began to have a sense of crisis."

"So I'm thinking that maybe the guide is also part of the strange tower?"

no answer.

The three heads were all hunched over, looking a little crowded.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Wen Xishu didn't say anything either. His question was indeed a bit puzzling.

But Wen Xishu actually has a reason to ask this, because if the guide is an obsession... does it also represent a mission?
Halfway through the journey, Wen Xishu thought that the guide should tell him some key information.

But looking at the three silent guides, Wen Xishu went back directly.

He is not in a hurry. He will slowly solve all the puzzles in the process of climbing the tower.

……

bunker.

The exit of the prison is connected to "Memoirs".

When it suddenly appeared, people were startled. The students of the Three Towers Academy all looked up and saw that there was suddenly a building in the upside-down world in the sky.

Soon, people realized it was a prison.

I also realized... what the prison meant. The bunker legend Wen Xishu, Dean Wen, has successfully returned again, and his completion rating is very high.

But the students had gotten used to the miracle of Wen Xishu, so they were not so surprised now.

Moreover, when students suddenly saw a prison appear, their impression of the Weird Tower Academy became even more...stereotyped.

"As expected... I still want to climb the Slaughter Tower."

"We're out of prison now. What is this school trying to do? Are they treating us like monsters in the Slaughter Tower? Or like prisoners?"

"I suddenly feel that Mr. William's benefits are not that good..."

This is certainly not everyone's idea. Many people also think that a place like a prison would be nice if it were located in the Ghost Tower Academy.

The mental state of some students who want to enter the Weird Tower Academy is like this:
"Wow, there's even a prison in the academy. I can study like a prisoner. This is weird."

"In the past, those who climbed the Weird Tower were all death row prisoners. It makes sense for us to have a prison in the Weird Tower Academy. The death row prisoners can audit the lessons and exchange their experiences with us. Perfect."

"That makes sense. I really want my dorm to be prison style. It's quite interesting to think about."

"Next to it is the building that scares people crazy. The two buildings are connected together. I love it."

"I can't wait to start class!"

I have to say that William Hawkner's welfare is in place. A considerable number of the students recruited actually have the ability to climb the strange tower. They are perverts at heart.

For example, the last time, he was scared by Tang Rui and then vowed to become Tang Rui's dog.

In general, there are a large number of people with abnormal mental states in the Guita Academy.

This is related to the college's written examination mechanism.

The Luta Academy will focus on testing whether the other party has the concept of defending the country, while the Yuta Academy will test whether the other party has love.

But the Weird Tower Academy tests whether the other party has a curiosity, a strange temperament, or masochistic qualities, which are all plus points.

The overall enrollment number was lower than expected, but it was completed successfully.

Now the first batch of new students of Guita Academy have been recruited and are waiting for their "teachers" to teach them.

……

The students were discussing the Guita Academy enthusiastically.

However, the dean of Guita Academy, Wen Xishu, was not in Guita Academy at this time.

As the focus of the topic, he is currently in the restricted garden area of Yuta Academy.

It’s still the same as always, Evelyn, the principal, Xun Hui, and Wen Renjing.

The reason why Wen Xishu called a few people other than the principal was that he hoped they could also participate in the vote, because he knew very well that the principal would make a decision next.

"How is Xiao Jin?" Wen Xishu asked.

"He's still recovering his memory. All these years of hard work have not been in vain. His underlying character has actually changed. I believe that in a while, Xiao Jin will still be our friend." Evelyn said.

Wen Xishu nodded and prepared to get to the point.

But at this time, Xun Hui suddenly said:
"I have already cleared the 69th floor. Do I have to wait?"

Wenrenjing also said:

"I am also on the 69th floor, having completed the fifth level of completion. My natural level is about to reach the 70th floor..."

Wen Xishu was still secretly surprised when he heard this. After all, Xun Hui had just reached the 60th floor not long ago. Now he has also reached the 69th floor.

This made Wen Xishu certain that Xun Hui must have put in a lot of effort recently.

Albert knew that climbing the tower would kill people.

Every time he forced himself to climb the tower, the desire to kill in his body would accumulate. It was not long ago that Xun Hui killed the third director of the Security Bureau.

Recently, many death row prisoners in the bunker have been executed prematurely, which must be related to the Xun family.

But Albert didn't care. If he needed to become a devil in the process of climbing the tower, he was willing to become a devil.

"Then take a break. I'm also thinking of a way to solve this problem of Sagittarius, but there's no solution at this time."

"Perhaps Xiao Jin is a breakthrough point. I always feel that Lao Jin would not lie to me. He said that his death could make Sagittarius evacuate, so it must be possible."

"But Lao Jin didn't die. It was Liu Zhizai who died. This is indeed very strange."

"At this stage, we can only start with Xiao Jin."

Albert thought that after clarifying the mystery of Mr. Jin's death, perhaps Sagittarius could be driven away from the source.

Wen Xishu didn't expect that just when he was about to go to sleep, someone handed him a pillow. The topic just ended here.

"In fact, I called you all here... not just to find out about Xiao Jin. I'm afraid his secret will not be easy to uncover in a short time. I always feel that all the answers are in the three towers."

Albert could tell that Wen Xishu had something to say.

Wen Xishu said:
"I have recently gained something that gives us the opportunity to directly ask the person who caused the problem."

"Investigating Xiao Jin and Mr. Jin's past may help us find out why Sagittarius wanted to shoot us, but it may not solve the problem."

Evelyn was slightly moved:
"Can you communicate with Sagittarius?"

She knew that Wen Xishu had come into contact with those god-like beings.

Wen Xishu had a complicated expression and said uncertainly:

"It's not communication. The atmosphere is not peaceful... To be precise, it's a confrontation. The enemy is dangerous. If we fail..."

"So this is a serious matter, and I need to discuss it with you all, especially you, the principal." Wen Xishu looked at Albert.

Albert also guessed it, especially the word "duel", which made him extremely excited.

Wen Xishu also knew that the old principal would definitely have this reaction. He wasn't afraid at all. If you asked him whether to fight or not, he would always have only one option: fight, fucking fight.

Although the rest of the words were not finished, everyone had a general idea of it.

This is an invitation to a showdown.

An invitation to a showdown between the current highest combat power of the bunker and the highest combat power of the three towers.

Xun Hui and Wen Ren Jing looked at each other. They already knew that Wen Xishu could always find a breakthrough, but this time the breakthrough was so direct that it really surprised them.

Albert exclaimed:
"You kid! That's great. I like this way of solving the problem. Investigating Little Jin and Old Jin is always like solving a problem, while the one who set the problem is hiding behind the scenes."

"Now, with your help, I can get rid of the people who caused the problem. That's great!"

Albert stood up and clapped his hands:

"Hahahahaha, that's great! That's great!"

"Principal, don't get excited. First of all, the enemy is very strong."

Yes, the enemy is Sagittarius, the one who has shot down the bunker's future over the years.

There is no doubt that he is strong.

But Albert said:
"You can't work hard to reach the 100th floor just for a good-looking level number, right?"

"In the Three Towers War, it seems that the only way for humans to participate is to change the future situation by climbing the towers. This is especially true among you players of the Desire Tower and the Trickster Tower."

"But we who climbed the Slaughter Tower must have a chance to prove ourselves."

Wen Xishu said:
"I can create an opportunity to prove myself, but old principal, if you lose, do you know what it means?"

Everyone was silent.

Evelyn sighed:
"I've lost Lao Jin, Albert, you..."

Without Mr. Jin, the bunker might not be as glorious as it is today. But without Albert, the current glory would surely collapse.

It is conceivable that without Albert, the five elders might become evil.

Wen Xishu continued to add:
"And... this is not a prop, Principal. It is a sequence that cannot be traded. And the chance will only come once. In other words, in the future I will have the opportunity to fight every big shot whose aura I sense."

"But there is only one chance like this. Once you fail, it's all over."

"And, since it is a sequence rather than a prop, you must bring me along as a burden in this battle."

If Albert was just left to fight on his own, he would be very excited to accept it.

But now, realizing that Wen Xishu would also be involved, Albert fell silent.

He was wondering whether he had the ability to save Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:
"You only have ten minutes. You must be able to avoid being killed by the enemy within ten minutes."

Wen Xishu did not seek to win. Ten minutes was enough time to negotiate a lot of issues. He just hoped that the old principal would not be killed within ten minutes.

Albert also understood that he was a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip on the negotiation table. If his fighting ability could not impress Sagittarius——

Then there will never be such an opportunity again.

Xun Hui said:
"Wen Xishu, you said a lot, but you want the old man to go, right?"

Wenren Jing smiled. Xun Hui always hits the nail on the head.

Xun Hui said:
"If you weigh the pros and cons, it's the old man who can't go, and you wouldn't even mention it. In your heart, you're leaning towards him going."

"But I think ... it's not the right time yet. If this is a vote, if we are able to sit here and it means we are eligible to vote, then I refuse."

"I can wait until another more suitable method to fight against Sagittarius appears."

Evelyn shook her head and said:

"I refuse too. The crisis of Sagittarius may not be resolved in the future, but if Albert...something happens to you now, and if it happens to both you and Wen Xishu, I can't imagine how chaotic the bunker will be."

"Old Jin doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. You can't get into trouble at this time."

Wenrenjing said:
"I also refuse to let you deal with Sagittarius. Let's work together to find a solution. There must be another way."

Wen Xishu was indeed inclined to let Albert fight, but he also followed the result of this vote:
"Since there were three votes against it, I accept the result this time."

Albert looked at several people who refused and smiled:

"Sure enough, when it comes to courage and madness, only Xi Shu and I are the same."

Xun Hui shook his head and said:

"I refuse you not because I am afraid of death."

Albert agreed:

"Of course, you are upright and brave, and I don't doubt your courage, but courage and bravery are two different concepts. Courage is reflected in whether you can seize opportunities."

"You really can't do this. You still don't realize that humans can't climb the tower slowly and comfortably. Do you think you won after defeating the Great Devourer once?"

"A mere constellation can cut off your future path. If you don't seize every minute, how do you know that you can have decades of peace and comfort in the future?"

"Wen Xishu, you dare to give me this choice, which means that you are also prepared to give everything for this operation."

Wen Xishu nodded.

Xun Hui realized that something was wrong, and so did Evelyn. When the old man got ruthless, he didn't care about democratic voting at all.

This seems to be the trend now.

Wenrenjing said:
"Teacher... we haven't learned enough from you yet. Can you reconsider this? If you fail, then the young people of the future may not be ready to replace you."

Albert laughed, and laughed very boldly:
"I used to love reading stories written by writers from the lower classes. The old guys always use their own death to help the younger guys grow up before they grow up."

"That's good. Old guys should have this kind of awareness. I've also read some sensational sentences, like there's no ship in the new era that can carry me... Hahahahaha, it's a pity to say that before you die."

"But I don't like regrets, and I don't like this kind of drama where old people die for young people."

"Xun Hui, Mirror, if you can't take over my burden, it only proves that you are not capable enough. If you can't keep up with my pace, it means that you are nothing more than that."

"Whether I live or die, you all have to improve and do your best to catch up with me. If you can't catch up, you are useless."

Albert's aura was like a storm, and Wen Xishu had to admit that Albert in his eyes was shining.

"Your path to growth has been cut off by someone else. Now that I have an opportunity to drive out the enemy, you want to persuade me to give up? I am so disappointed."

"Of course I am afraid of death, that's why I haven't dared to enter the Weird Tower for so many years, but I am more afraid of dying in vain. The meaning of my life is to wait for a satisfying battle."

"But I can be sure that this battle will not last only ten minutes."

Albert said:

"Dean Wen, let's set off tomorrow."

Xun Hui knew that he couldn't persuade the old man, and he didn't blame Wen Xishu. Everyone really had different ways of thinking.

Everyone knows Albert's aura at this moment, and voting and democracy are useless.

This old man has a somewhat autocratic temperament.

But Xun Hui was by no means a man without courage:

"Since you have decided, I can't miss such a duel. I want to participate, too."

Albert cares about the future of the bunker.

But as he said, if no one can climb to the 70th floor of the bunker, there will be no future.

He smiled and said:
"Hahahahahahahahaha, that's more like it!"

Wen Xishu admired the old principal more and more.

He actually hated the drama of old soldiers dying to sacrifice for the birth of a new king. Deep down, he didn't believe that Albert would die here.

Because he has seen the more distant future.

The world loves to hear the story of a new king ascending the throne, but there will always be old soldiers whose immortal music will continue to play.

Wen Xishu had a premonition that this battle would become a major event in the Three Towers War.
