Three Towers Game

Chapter 331 Xiao Jin's New Journey
Stepping out of the healing room, even though the sunlight on the ceiling was simulated, Xiao Jin still felt like she had walked out of prison and was seeing the light of day again.

His nature was wicked, but over the decades of “bunker renovation,” under the guidance of Old King and Evelyn, he has been transformed into a good man.

When Wen Xishu brought Xiao Jin and met Nisen Yueyun again, and the group returned to the dormitory, Xiao Jin habitually exclaimed "Wow!"

That exclamation brought everyone back to a few months ago.

Wen Xishu spoke first:
"Once we get to the dormitory, this is a private environment. So please stop calling me Dean Wen. I don't want a pathetic, thick barrier between us."

Nissen chuckled:

"Actually, Xiaoyun and I don't think that you stopped treating us as friends after you became the dean."

Yue Yun, however, said:
"But we can't lose our identity when we're out in the world."

Xiao Jin said:

"Wow! I'm so happy that we're all together again."

Outside the dormitory, the market was in full swing, and Yue Yun and Nissen had also settled into their own schedules these past few days.

The two have different personalities, which determines the different sequences they use. Nissen's sequence has many similar variations, which are generally characterized by increased self-healing ability, increased damage resistance, and enhanced speed and strength during sequence activation.

Simply put, charge ahead and draw fire for your teammates.

Yue Yun, on the other hand, leans towards burst damage, sacrificing some attributes to enhance attack and speed.

The two often climbed the tower together and had developed a tacit understanding.

Within the entire bunker, Yue Yun and Nissen were considered top-tier talents, and they understood the situation perfectly.

If your talent ranks in the top 5% of a story, then enjoy that talent and don't get carried away and obsess over the remaining 4%.

Wen Xishu, Xun Hui, the old principal... these people are too strong, so the two of them thought that they should just do their best to shine, but they would never choose targets randomly and make themselves unhappy.

Yue Yun used to be quite stubborn, but Nissen is a naturally easygoing person. After spending time with him, Yue Yun also became more open-minded.

Wen Xishu said:
"We're all on the same side, so tell me, what exactly happened to you after that great devouring?"

Xiao Jin did not hide anything:

"I thought of my past experiences, and of my grandfather and a group of very capable people... as if they were whispering something to each other."

“Back then, I felt the same as I do now… while my grandfather was very young.”

"Later, I realized that my grandfather was getting old, but I didn't change."

"I also gradually realized that I don't have a father, mother, grandfather... which changed my memory."

“I started to be afraid of my grandfather, and the train conductor… the one I met on the Chosen Train, he started cursing at me, saying I had the blood of a traitor.”

“I don’t know what happened, but he told me that my grandfather was a sinner who betrayed Longxia.”

"The Dragon Hidden Project was delayed for a long time because of him, and many variables also appeared."

"Later, I seemed to remember... I could wield a lot of power, but my power... was taken away in a certain split."

“I became frail, and it all seemed to be caused by my grandfather. No, not just my grandfather, but others as well.”

"After returning to the bunker, I started to go crazy. Too many memories flooded back. I couldn't tell who I was. Time and space were all torn apart in my eyes. It turns out... I've been brainwashed by Aunt Evelyn too many times."

"I don't know."

"After the Great Devouring ended, while you were constantly conquering the Three Towers, my grandfather told me that I was a product created by the Heart of Fusion, and that I was naturally able to fuse the power of others."

"Back then, he and two god-like beings poured a great deal of power into my body, attempting to create a god who could end the chaos of the world."

“I had to go through many stages, but when I went through the stage called ‘Gemini,’ I was forcibly split in two.”

"At the same time, because I also possess the power of good and evil, the good part became my elder brother, and the evil part became myself."

“I have a short temper, and my grandfather took me back to the bunker to calm me down. But before that, it seems like I was separated from my grandfather for a long time.”

"My grandfather also frankly told me that all my later memories were woven by Aunt Evelyn in order to cover up my original background."

“Grandpa always guided me with kindness, not because he was afraid I would become arrogant, but to suppress the violence in my bones.”

Xiao Jin was visibly saddened as she spoke:
“But I was a disappointment… After Grandpa passed away, I was still consumed by my past temper, and I almost… killed Brother Shu.”

Wen Xishu said:
"You suddenly decided to assassinate me because you saw your past memories again?"

Xiao Jin first shook his head, then nodded:

"I sensed something very familiar, and that sense awakened me."

"But strangely enough, it's gone now."

Wen Xishu squinted.

It wasn't Mr. Kim's order, so Mr. Kim's disappearance has nothing to do with Xiao Jin's assassination attempt.

Before the bunker appeared, Mr. Kim must have had contact with Aries, as she was the eldest sister among the zodiac signs...

It seems that Aries has a way of collecting the unique power of each zodiac sign.

Combined with the Heart of Fusion, Little Gold was born.

So it seems that Mr. Kim and Aries originally intended to create a fusion version of the "twelve constellations".

However, during the simulation, because it involved Gemini, it was forcibly split into two.

As a result, the plan went wrong, and the benevolent twins escaped, taking the Heart of Fusion with them.

The evil twins, also known as Little Gold, are also missing. Little Gold says that he and Mr. Gold have been separated for a long time.

Mr. Kim learned of the existence of the bunker shortly after Little Kim was split in two.

The long separation was the time Mr. Kim spent building the bunker.

According to Wei Ping'an, shortly after that, Mr. Jin also gained immense power and wiped out the people from Longxia Kingdom who came to arrest him.

It's not a monster evolution system unique to the apocalypse, but rather Mr. Kim has gained some kind of extra power.

Therefore, after entering the bunker, he relied on this strength to climb all the way up. At that time, in the eyes of the old principal Albert, he was comparable to a god.

But Mr. Jin's miracle ended quickly. After Mr. Jin brought back Little Jin... he didn't climb the tower much anymore.

Having not climbed the tower for decades, coupled with Albert's extraordinary talent, Albert became the strongest in the bunker.

Mr. Jin angered Capricorn and Sagittarius by bringing Xiao Jin back.

Not long ago, having obtained the Heart of Fusion, Mr. Jin suddenly decided to go to the Three Towers.

And if it weren't for the orders left by Mr. Kim, Xiao Jin's assassination attempt on him...

That can only lead to one outcome—Xiao Jin sensed the aura of the Heart of Fusion and wanted to reclaim it.

At this point in his analysis, Wen Xishu suddenly thought...

I realize that I may have actually harbored some malicious suspicions about Mr. Jin.

This person may not really be a bad person, but he is caught in the middle between the two sides of the bunker and Longxia, which makes him somewhat conflicted.

His desire for the revival of Longxia was genuine.

The desire for the bunker to rise was also real.

That's why Albert and Evelyn, who lived to be almost a hundred, always believed that Old King wasn't a bad person.

After all, without Lao Jin, humanity wouldn't have the right answer to face the end of the world.

Xiao Jin's attempt to assassinate him was purely due to the Heart of Fusion.

As for Liu Zhizai's death, it is likely that it was Mr. Jin's way of avoiding the archer's arrow of fate.

In other words, Liu Zhizai... took Mr. Jin's place in fate.

Wen Xishu had confirmed that the time when Mr. Jin left the bunker coincided with the time when he obtained the Heart of Fusion. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

Back then, there was a group of people... waiting for Mr. Jin to save them.

The failure of the god-making plan, coupled with Mr. Kim suddenly obtaining information about the bunker from who-knows-where...

So Mr. Kim decided to take the people to the bunker first and preserve human civilization.

After that, Mr. Kim continued to climb the tower and build the bunker, but after he met Little Kim and brought Little Kim back to the bunker, he could no longer climb the tower.

Because Sagittarius and Capricorn have locked onto him.

But there might be another reason... that is, he believed that Long Xia's plan was bound to fail.

Because he might have thought that the Heart of Integration had fallen into the hands of other constellations.

It wasn't until he brought back the Heart of Fusion that Mr. Jin realized there was still a chance for things to turn around. He had to go to the Three Towers Battlefield; there were some things only he could do.

Thinking about this, Wen Xishu felt that everything could be explained.

But all of this was just his speculation.

Wen Xishu said:
"Can't you sense that familiar aura anymore?"

Xiao Jin nodded.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and realized that perhaps because the Heart of Fusion had already been used, it had undergone some changes after he and the archer were bound together.

Xiao Jin was therefore no longer affected.

“Then there’s no problem. Xiao Jin, you are our friend and also Mr. Jin’s family. In any case, Mr. Jin went to great lengths to bring you to the bunker. I believe you will be the next legend of the bunker.”

Xiao Jin looked up, her eyes shining:

"Really...really? Actually...actually, I was planning to tell Grandpa Albert that I wanted to transfer to the Tower of Ghosts Academy."

"I'm going to give up climbing the Tower of Slaughter and go climb the Tower of Ghosts instead."

Nissen, Yue Yun, and Wen Xishu were all taken aback.

"Why? You have the talent for the Tower of Ruth, and your strength is great. Climbing the Tower of Ruth is more suitable for you."

Xiao Jin then did something truly amazing.

“My past memories are all about destruction and killing. My grandfather made me who I am now, but I like it this way.”

"While the awakening of past memories left me disoriented for a while, it also brought some benefits."

As he spoke, Xiao Jin's expression began to change.

Wen Xishu instinctively shielded Nissen and Yue Yun behind him.

At this moment, Xiao Jin's appearance aged rapidly, and he actually turned into... Liu Zhizai's appearance.

Then, Xiao Jin's appearance changed again, transforming into Luo Feng's likeness.

"It seems that I can transform into many different people. I haven't mastered this ability yet. By transforming into different people, I can gain the power of those different people."

“I think… this ability is more suitable for climbing the Tower of Ghosts.”

Wen Xishu was stunned.

Nissen and Yue Yun were also stunned.

Although Xiao Jin's strength is not as good as that of the elders after he becomes an elder, Luo Feng has already said this.

However, it must be said that if this ability is developed properly, Xiao Jin is indeed very suitable for climbing the Tower of Ghosts.

Wen Xishu said:
"Great! Very good! Xiao Jin, I support you."

Everyone skilled at climbing the tower of mystery must possess unique abilities. Wen Xishu's unique ability lies in his adaptability.

And Xiao Jin's ability is indeed very suitable for the Tower of Ghosts.

At this moment, Yue Yun felt utterly powerless.

That's what you call a natural talent.

You train hard and climb the tower diligently, but you can't beat the genius. Fortunately... the genius is one of your own.

"Aunt Evelyn said that I am free now, but I still feel guilty about what I did in the past... Thank you, Brother Tree, thank you for not holding a grudge! Wow, this feeling is so wonderful!"

The group exchanged smiles, as if everything had returned to what it was after the Great Devouring.

……

……

Another day passed, and Albert finally returned.

Jabbar and the spirit of the academy quickly made contact, and the spirit of the academy quickly contacted Wen Xishu. Wen Xishu did not delay at all; he was already eager to climb the tower.

After Evelyn and Kim's affair ended, he became addicted to tower.

However, because there were still some things she wanted to ask Albert, Wen Xishu held back.

He went directly to the principal's office.

"I've only taken the first sip of this tea, hahaha, and you're here."

Wen Xishu was somewhat surprised when he saw Albert:

"Why do you seem... to have become a few years younger?"

Wen Xishu was known for his remarkable observational skills, and in his eyes, Albert did indeed appear to have fewer wrinkles.

Albert said:

"Thank you for your efforts, which allowed me to also experience a process of self-examination. The reward I received from this self-examination is this."

"As you can see, I've become a little younger, though only a little. But the joy of aging in reverse is truly extraordinary at my age of over ninety."

Then came Albert's unrestrained laughter.

Albert quickly added:
"The bunker has entered phase two, that's what the guide told me, which means there might be a third phase."

"The first stage is the stage of material abundance."

"Perhaps the second phase will be a phase where there is an abundance of sequences, items, or facilities? I lean towards facilities... after all, there aren't many facilities in the bunker."

"I hope we can work together to move into the third stage. I have to thank you, Little Tree, you've lessened one of the regrets I was worried about in the future."

Wen Xishu asked:
"What regret?"

Albert laughed:

"If one day I meet my enemy, or someone as worthy of my attention as a Leo... hahaha, if I am too old to unleash my full power, I will die with regrets."

"But now, I think... no matter who is waiting for me in the Three Towers War, I can have a thrilling showdown with that person."

Wen Xishu was filled with respect; he truly admired people like the old principal.

Of course, he also really wanted to chat with the old principal about Leos, since he had actually met one.

However, right now, Wen Xishu asked the most crucial question first:
"Headmaster, have any strange or illogical things happened in the bunker? With your perception, you should be the most likely person to know about any strange things that happen in the bunker."

"The timeframe was roughly during the period when my brother was climbing the Tower of Ghosts, or... or after I was imprisoned and was about to be executed."

After a slight pause, Wen Xishu thought for a moment:

"Or perhaps, the year I was born."
