Three Towers Game

Chapter 330 Evelyn's Entrustment
For several days, the market in the bunker remained bustling.

If it weren't for the fact that the market area takes up too much space at the Three Towers Academy, and that only the Three Towers Academy can experience the sequence, Wen Xishu would suggest making this kind of trade fair a regular occurrence.

Wen Xishu wasn't too bored during the few days he waited for Albert to return.

He soon encountered an elder and they arranged to meet in the forbidden garden of the Desire Tower Academy.

This is Evelyn.

This female elder completed a "warm-up" in a few days.

They also gathered some intelligence.

Forbidden Garden of the Tower of Desire Academy.

Evelyn, Wenren Jing, and Wen Xishu were talking.

"Not long ago, I completed the exploration and discovered... that my settlement was no longer handled by the guide with the white head. She told me that the bunker had entered the next stage."

Evelyn smiled as she looked at Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was secretly surprised.

The elders are truly something else. Among all the elders, only Evelyn didn't rely on Old Jin to force her way through the 90th floor.

Because Evelyn wasn't a member of the Luta clan, but rather a member of the Yuta clan.

She truly entered the ninety-story tower of desire through her own abilities.

Being able to enter the Inquiry into the Heart means that Evelyn, at least after not entering the Tower of Desire for many years, has still achieved a level 5 completion rate in the ninety-odd levels of the Tower of Desire.

Wen Xishu was filled with awe.

"Is a tower of desire with more than ninety floors particularly prone to collapse?"

Evelyn shook her head:
"Not entirely. I've also encountered scenes comparable to the Tower of Ruins, where monsters were everywhere and you had to be extremely careful to survive."

"But I have a high luck factor, which basically ensures that I will be in a safe location and can obtain a lot of information."

"The accumulation of luck allows me to always think of ways to survive."

"Actually, monsters aren't the scariest thing. No matter how powerful a monster is, I believe Albert will be able to defeat them on the Three Towers battlefield in the future."

"The most terrifying are those cities that seem... to have established order."

Wen Xishu was startled.

He simply heard the statement and immediately agreed with it.

Yes, the most terrifying thing is not a city that has lost its order. Based on his experience in the Tower of Chaos, the most insane and twisted cities are those that have established order, where buildings are no longer broken, people are no longer fleeing... and everything seems to be perfect.

“Every time I appear in a place like this, I feel like an outsider. I have to figure out what kind of rules exist in this city, which is very, very difficult for me.”

“Mirror, you should learn more from Dean Wen from now on. The obstacle that stood between you and the seventieth floor is gone. Xun Hui has Albert to guide him, but you… I’m sorry, I’ve never been able to guide you.”

Upon hearing this, Wenren Jing smiled and said:
“Master, you look much younger than my teacher. You have many more opportunities to teach me.”

Evelyn smiled faintly.

For some reason, Wen Xishu sensed a hint of parting in that smile.

"Above the 90th floor, the most terrifying are the Honkai. I cannot fight them. This is the ironclad rule of the Three Towers. I cannot launch an attack on the Honkai."

"In fact, many sequences in the desire sequence also have aggressive characteristics."

“I can find them easily, but as long as I can’t kill them… it’s hard for me to anchor that history.”

"This is understandable, because even if it is anchored, it can be changed."

"For a while, I stopped climbing the Tower of Desire because I realized that no matter how hard I tried, or how wonderful the ending I achieved, if I didn't let the Honkai die..."

"But eventually the Honkai will overturn it. What I did was more like helping them find loopholes."

Wen Xishu was slightly moved. He realized that the Dice of Madness was simply a divine weapon to restrain the Collapsers.

It should be called the ultimate artifact.

Killing the Honkai is itself a positive influence on the fate of everyone...

He even thought that the Honkai were the weakest of the weak. At first, Wen Xishu thought this was the main event, but he found that the Honkai were his natural counter.

But only then did he realize that his power came from the inverted dice.

If the rule "prohibiting violence" is not lifted, even a powerful elder like Evelyn will question her existence because of the Honkai.

But this feeling is indeed very subtle.

What I'm best at dealing with is actually the invincible inner strength of others.

"Then why do you intend to restart your journey through the Tower of Desire this time?"

Evelyn smiled and said:
“I just don’t want to be too lonely. When Lao Jin was around, I felt like we were a whole team.”

"Later, when Old Jin left, I realized some things: he didn't belong to us, and Albert didn't belong to me either."

"It seems that I can only find that spiritual connection with them when I become the guide of the Tower of Desire again."

Wen Xishu said:
"So you've found a way to suppress the Honkai?"

Evelyn shook her head:
"In the past, we tried to move silently as much as possible so as not to attract the attention of the Honkai."

"Later, I wondered whether I should incite others to attack the Honkai."

"I tried it out this time, but the results weren't very good. However, I did make some discoveries."

"The Honkai do exist as an organization, and they do have an origin."

"I deceived a Honkai user, making him believe that I was also a Honkai user. As a result, I learned a lot of secrets."

"I will continue to delve deeper, and if all goes well, I can reveal many more secrets to you when we meet next time."

"If things don't go smoothly..."

Evelyn smiled again, a smile that made even the flowers in the forbidden garden pale in comparison:
“Tell Albert that I actually had feelings for him.”

Wen Xishu waved his hand:

"You will definitely come back safely."

Evelyn smiled and said:
"The source of the Honkai is related to Pisces, but I have discovered that the power of many constellations... depends on people."

Wen Xishu understood this sentence.

Libra and Aquarius both possess a "source of power." These sources of power are often the product of a combination of distorted rules and human beings.

He had already experienced it in the Tower of Deception and the Tower of Desire.

He just didn't expect that this was not an isolated case.

"Pisces' abilities are related to time, and the source of the Honkai is also someone related to time."

"His ability to manipulate time and space is even comparable to that of Pisces."

"No, to be precise, Pisces' outstanding strength is their ability to navigate time and space, but Pisces doesn't have any other obvious weaknesses. I think that's true for every zodiac sign."

Wen Xishu nodded.

Indeed, Sagittarius is very powerful, but that doesn't mean he has no authority. His authority is enough to keep no newcomers from entering the seventieth floor of the bunker for many years.

Libras wield considerable power, and the balance of life and death is difficult to break, but their own strength is definitely greater than that of many other signs.

It can be said that even the weakest constellations, such as Sirius and Phoenix, possess considerable strength.

"But Pisces' most prominent spacetime ability doesn't seem to be as powerful as that Honkai source."

"I learned something: the worst thing he ever did wasn't in the Three Towers world, but in the bunker."

"But what exactly this matter is, no one knows."

"He always seemed lost in the power of time and space, and he was quite muddled. In other words, his nature wasn't corrupted."

"But under the influence of Pisces, his power began to spread, affecting many people in the Tower of Desire and turning them into Honkai."

Wen Xishu asked:
Why would a Pisces do this?

Evelyn thought for a moment and said:
"This is just my speculation."

"Pisces' ability is to foresee the future. In fact, many times we can also use common sense to deduce some things about the future."

"For example, if a person has a happy childhood, they may be able to heal others when they grow up." "Of course, this is not absolute, and there may be many unexpected events, but even so, predictions can be made based on the general trend."

Wen Xishu nodded.

Life is unpredictable, but history has a certain inertia and trend.

"Therefore, everyone can make some judgments about the future."

"But if... the past is infinitely overturned, then the ability to accurately predict the future becomes a unique ability of a certain person."

"Based on the information you provided earlier, they yearn to become gods. So, who is most likely to become a god in the future, and how can we prevent that person from becoming a god..."

"Because of the existence of the Honkai, things have become unpredictable."

Wen Xishu probably understood.

Evelyn did bring a very important piece of information, not speculation about the source of Pisces' power.

Rather, it is said that the Honkai have an ancestor, just as once the vampire ancestor dies, the vampires below him will also die.

Once the source of the Honkai is killed, the Honkai will likely disappear.

We need to keep climbing the tower, all the way to the ninetyth floor!
"Mirror, you must try your best to stay on the same wavelength as Dean Wen. If you have the opportunity to fight together in the Tower of Desire in the future, you can assist Dean Wen," Evelyn instructed.

This statement actually implies that, in the master's eyes, his disciple is inferior to others.

But Wenren Jing was truly a very good person; he felt no jealousy, and simply kept Evelyn's words in his heart:
"I will consult with Dean Wen frequently."

Wen Xishu thought to herself, "No, senior, you're being so humble, I'm really a little embarrassed."

Evelyn then shared some of her observations from other levels of the Tower of Desire.

Wen Xishu memorized everything as information. Both he and Wenren Jing were considered to be knowledgeable and had exceptional memories.

Wen Xishu felt more and more that Evelyn was shining brightly, giving away everything she could to help those who came after her without reservation.

But Wenren Jing didn't think that way; he had absolute faith in his master.

……

……

The chat in the forbidden area of ​​the Desire Tower Garden quickly came to an end, and Wenren Jing returned to the Wenren family home, preparing for the next tower climb.

Wen Xishu did not separate from Evelyn.

“I’ll take you somewhere, Dean Wen.”

"Actually, you can just call me Little Tree," Wen Xishu said with a smile.

He followed Evelyn to the top floor of the bunker.

When Wen Xishu returned to Mr. Jin's healing house, he was somewhat confused.

Evelyn then said:

"My journey ahead will probably be like yours, continuous and uninterrupted. I also want to try, maybe this old man will find some meaning in his existence by climbing the tower like crazy."

“The mirror can’t understand because my sequence power makes the mirror have a blind worship of me.”

Wen Xishu didn't know how to respond, so after thinking for a moment, he said:
"I've always felt that... when it comes to climbing towers, you can't do it with that kind of fearless, reckless mentality."

"Actually, every time I climb the tower and encounter danger, I am very good at enduring and pretending, just to survive."

Evelyn smiled and said:
“I know you’re telling the truth, and I’m in the same boat. But sometimes, the danger can be beyond our imagination.”

“Little Tree, don’t worry about me. I’m not unafraid of death; I just feel I should consider that possibility.”

"So, before I start climbing the tower, I will do my best to do certain things well."

"The reason I called you here today is the same."

Wen Xishu guessed who was in the healing room.

“His emotions have calmed down, and his temperament is similar to before, but he looks more composed. I think I have succeeded, and he can climb the tower again now.”

"But he's now caught in a cycle of self-doubt. He's actually just as confused as we are, maybe even more confused."

“He remembered many things, including the assassination attempt on you, which is why he dares not go out.”

“I think you are his friend, and in the future, you will be the most important person in the bunker. Go and talk to him.”

“He is very talented, and perhaps... our goodwill at this time will have a huge impact on the future.”

Wen Xishu nodded.

Without a doubt, from the moment Evelyn decided to spend an extended period in the Tower of Desire, she had already planned to finish what she needed to do in the bunker first.

There is one thing that Evelyn has always done, and that only Evelyn can do.

That is to help Xiao Jin become the person he should be. The Healing Room is where Lao Jin used to be.

The only one who can get in right now is Xiao Jin.

Wen Xishu nodded:
"I'll go see him."

Evelyn said:
"Then I'll leave first."

Wen Xishu saw that Evelyn had actually revealed the login device on her wrist.

He was somewhat surprised:
"The old headmaster should be back soon. Why don't you have a chat with him?"

Evelyn shook her head and said:

"He's a martial arts fanatic; I have no idea when he'll be back. See you next time."

Wen Xishu stood there, frozen in place.

Much later, when he was all alone, he realized that he still had things to do.

"I hope it goes well, Evelyn."

He prayed silently as he walked deeper into the healing room.

The healing room was dimly lit.

Where Old Jin once knelt on the prayer mat, now stands a young figure.

"Brother Shu?"

Xiao Jin's voice came through, sounding a bit listless.

He was unsure how to face Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said, "Xiao Jin, it's me. Why didn't you come out sooner if you were all better?"

Wen Xishu sat down next to Xiao Jin with practiced ease.

Xiao Jin looked at Wen Xishu, head down, like a child who had made a mistake:

"I...I'm so sorry, Brother Shu, I...I don't know what happened to me. I almost killed you!"

Wen Xishu smiled:
"Hahahaha, Xiao Jin, do you know what level of person your Brother Shu is now?"

"Don't flatter yourself. After the Great Devouring, my reputation is quite high."

"If you want to kill me, you'll have to practice a bit more!"

Wen Xishu laughed like Albert, with a particularly sincere and bold expression.

This made Xiao Jin feel a little better:
"You...you don't blame me?"

“We are friends, and your grandfather was the pioneer of the bunker, Xiao Jin. I can’t possibly resent you, especially since I know that you were very confused at that time.”

"But now, shouldn't you tell me about the secret you hold?"

Wen Xishu patted Xiao Jin on the shoulder, and in that instant, Xiao Jin seemed to return to the state he was in before everything happened.

He missed his life in the dormitory at Rutta Academy terribly.

He smiled, his smile brightening once more:
"Brother Shu, you're amazing!"

Wen Xishu said:
"This room is too dark. Shall we go somewhere else to talk? I think Nissen and Yue Yun would love to see you too."
