Three Towers Game

”You all need to support each other more in the future.”

Liu Zhizai lowered his head, at this moment, he was really afraid that his little scheme would be seen through by Wen Xishu or Albert.

But Wen Xishu didn’t take it seriously at all. In his view, Miyamoto offering his blade was something that couldn’t happen often enough.

However, Mr. Jin saw through it right away:

”Weizai, you need to act and think from the perspective of the Bunker as a whole, understood?”

Liu Zhizai directly kowtowed to Mr. Jin and admitted his mistake.

Then Mr. Jin said:

”Strictly speaking, I no longer count as a Bunker person... If I return to the Slaughter Tower, Albert, I will be forcibly taken away by Capricorn.”

”These years, I’ve been running away.”

”I might continue to run away, but these days, I’ve been quite surprised that someone has touched on my past and seen through my intentions.”

”The new younger generation is truly outstanding; I cannot stand by and watch them die.”

”There are three ways to dismantle the Sagittarius’s methods.”

Albert urged:

”Don’t pause, speak quickly.”

Mr. Jin said:

”The first is the worst option, which is to withstand or dodge Sagittarius’s attack on the seventieth floor. But that’s difficult. Although there’s a theoretical possibility, it’s indeed very hard.”

”Sagittarius’s attack includes the power of causality, which cannot be dodged.”

”But if you withstand it, the path ahead will be smooth, as Sagittarius only shoots once. Unless that person, like me, stays in a place where they shouldn’t.”

Wen Xishu smiled outwardly, but inwardly couldn’t help but curse.

Me? Withstand a direct shot from Sagittarius?

Even if Xun Hui could achieve a state of selflessness, Wen Xishu figured they would still be pierced by an arrow filled with the power of causality.

Albert shook his head:

”It’s not feasible. The three of them... even combined, would struggle against a strike from a constellation.”

”Moreover, it seems like Sagittarius does nothing else but practice this one shot.”

Although the old principal never faced Sagittarius, he knew that these constellations’ powers surpassed his own.

At the very least, one arrow from Sagittarius was considerably stronger than his punch.

And now, even if Xun Hui’s physical form were several times tougher, they couldn’t withstand his punch.

Wen Xishu pondered whether if he didn’t use the three highs and didn’t skip levels... by meticulously climbing to the seventieth floor of the Deceit Tower, could he possibly have enough cards to counter Sagittarius by then?

Ding Dong’s Phoenix feather... could it allow him to be reborn under Sagittarius’s arrow?

Wen Xishu pondered Mr. Jin’s words again... Sagittarius only shoots to kill once, unless that person is where they shouldn’t be.

He felt a shiver.

The old tea seller who approached him several times... was he marking him? Making him believe he didn’t belong here?

Mr. Jin’s words interrupted Wen Xishu’s thoughts.

”Then there’s the middle strategy. The middle strategy is... Albert, Weizai, Little Feng, Matthew, William, Evelyn, you all join forces to break through a hundred levels.”

”I have my doubts about the boundary-breaking theory of the hundredth level.”

”But the hundredth level is indeed very special. Perhaps there will really be a way to face the constellation directly, thereby naturally unraveling the threat of Sagittarius.”

Albert sighed:

”If it really could be done, I would certainly strive for it. But Old Jin, it’s not that I look down on them... they really can’t do it.”

”How many years has it been since you guys climbed the tower?”

Liu Zhizai, Luo Feng, William, and Matthew all lowered their heads.

Mr. Jin sighed, ”You all... have grown weary, haven’t you?”

Luo Feng said:

”You weren’t willing to lead us, and we can’t match up with Albert... plus, there are so many things in the Bunker to manage.”

Albert sneered:

”So you managed the Bunker well? Do you want me to tell Old Jin how you handled the big epidemic three months ago?”

Luo Feng shut his mouth.

Mr. Jin shook his head, eyes full of regret:

”Forget it, Albert, how big is the gap between them and you now?”

Albert said:

”Decades ago, they couldn’t match me, and now, after I’ve struggled for decades, I’m only at the ninety-seventh level. You want me to break through the ninety-ninth level to reach a hundred with them?”

”I’d need to borrow five hundred more years from the heavens, right? Heh, even in five hundred years, they might not break through to the ninety-sixth level.”

This sarcasm showed no respect for Old Jin, but that’s just how Albert was. He had long been dissatisfied with Old Jin dragging these guys forcibly past the ninety-level mark.

Moreover, in terms of talent, Albert was indeed the first among the Bunker people.

Mr. Jin now understood as well.

Over the decades, the few elders hadn’t progressed at all, and due to Sagittarius, there were no newcomers to the Bunker...

In a certain sense, the Sagittarius even fortified the rule of these few elders.

Mr. Jin’s expression changed, then he smiled again:

”So the middle strategy isn’t feasible either, but fortunately, we still have the upper strategy. The upper strategy is certain to open the path for the children to navigate past the seventieth floor.”

Albert asked:

”What’s the upper strategy?”

But Mr. Jin suddenly fell silent. He merely smiled:

”Wen Xishu, my young friend, you stay. Albert, Evelyn, and you all, my old friends, you should leave.”

Albert was stunned. This old man looked at Wen Xishu for the first time with an incredulous expression:

”He stays? I leave?”

Wen Xishu also hadn’t expected Mr. Jin to arrange it this way.

Mr. Jin said:

”His information is richer than yours. He might know more about my past than you do. Even though you understand the weaknesses of each strong opponent, Albert, what I’m going to discuss next, only he knows.”

Wen Xishu actually wondered if this could be dangerous?

Could it be that Mr. Jin found out about his Heart of Fusion?

But that wouldn’t make sense...

In the Bunker, Mr. Jin wouldn’t go so far as to kill him, would he?

After thinking it over, he felt that what Mr. Jin was going to say next probably couldn’t be told to the old principal.

Albert was very reluctant, glancing at Wen Xishu, his expression seemingly asking why, when he had the best relationship with Old Jin, he was the one being sent out. Then he looked at Old Jin, wondering why he was discussing things with his disciple without involving him.

The old man’s expression amused Evelyn. Indeed, Albert was still very young, and she understood this more now.

In the end, the group followed Old Jin’s arrangement and left the Healing House.

Once only Wen Xishu was left, Mr. Jin slowly spoke:

”Have you guessed what the upper strategy is?”

Wen Xishu pondered for a moment, why Mr. Jin sent away the principal and the others, and he seemed to understand.

His expression became solemn:

”To return those who don’t belong here to where they should be?”

Mr. Jin laughed:

”Exactly, to return those who don’t belong here to where they should be.”

”I no longer belong in the Bunker. Because of my presence in the Bunker, Sagittarius’s causality is drawn to it.”

”But as long as I go back, through the login device, head to the Three Towers, and ultimately enter the Three-Tower Battlefield, everything will be repositioned and back on track.”

Wen Xishu suddenly remembered what Mr. Jin had said at the start — I just want to see you all.

It dawned on him; it sounded like a farewell message.

”You... are leaving the Bunker?”

Mr. Jin smiled and corrected:

”Not leaving, returning.”

Wen Xishu hadn’t thought he would encounter something so significant today. Mr. Jin’s low profile meant many people didn’t know who he was.

But if Mr. Jin truly leaves the Bunker...

Then it would truly be a moment logged in history, wouldn’t it?

Mr. Jin said:

”I used to think, since there isn’t anyone better than me, since Albert is better than me, and since Weizai, Little Feng, and others have all been brought to the ninety levels by me, even if Sagittarius’s threat spans from the seventieth to seventy-fifth levels, it doesn’t matter.”

”I must live. My value is greater than theirs.”

”But looking back, I realize how arrogant I was.”

”Fortunately, you’re exceptional, discovering many things before stepping onto the seventieth level. So I didn’t make a great mistake.”

”Wen Xishu, now it’s time for us older folks of the previous era to pave the way for you younger ones.”

Wen Xishu was moved, filled with countless thoughts, not knowing what to say.

But Mr. Jin graciously and generously said:

”I know you have many doubts and curious about who I am; actually, I’m just as curious about how far you’ve explored Longxia’s plan...”

”Those five children, how many have you met? Do you know all their whereabouts?”
