Every once in a while, I see you dressed like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a forbidden garden in the Desire Tower Academy district, and also the place where Wenren Jing and Wen Xishu used to chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Albert often played chess with Wenren Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, someone else would be coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the... Three-Kingdoms Chess you mentioned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert looked at the chess board Wenren Jing had modified and became somewhat interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it's rare that we three—that we two can play chess with you again, so I specifically learned this in the Desire Tower world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good. By the way, has your Desire Sequence had any new expansions recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good. You must work hard, Jingzi. Although your level is higher than Xun Hui's, the exploration difficulty of the Desire Tower is low, and the upper limit of exploration depth is very high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing deeply agreed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have never slacked off, Master. It’s just... sometimes my luck is really not very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not long ago, I heard that kid Wen Xishu say that he turned someone who might have been a leader-level entity into a Sovereign. In the exploration report he wrote about the seventh floor of the Ghost Tower, there is a passage saying that the key to saving the seven people in a certain apartment actually lies with the seventh person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master. Actually, I have also been following Wen Xishu's tower-climbing reports. Sometimes I have to sigh that he truly possesses astonishing talent. His potential is perhaps not below that of Zhaohua... Wen Zhaohua.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing paused and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually remember that mission, but I have asked many people who went to explore that mission with me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It turns out that the mission everyone received was to bring happiness to six people. Those six people were the six residents in the Miracle Building, such as the lawyer Jiang Yingce, the actor He Taiping, and others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The An Youxuan and An Jincheng mentioned by Wen Xishu... it is very difficult to dig information out of those six people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it’s not that there is no way to find out. It’s just that it would indeed take a very long detour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing possessed an exterior that everyone could like, and also the ability to see through people's hearts, but he did not have an \"Invitation Letter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exploration depth of the Desire Tower actually depends to a large extent on the time point, location, and even identity of the entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing could use luck points to adjust, but without an Invitation Letter, he would always appear in a slightly distant location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And having never experienced the Ghost Tower, it was also difficult for him to know what the deepest despair experienced by those Desire Tower mission targets was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this regard, Wen Xishu was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually understand a little bit why Wen Zhaohua said those things to you back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean, that sentence about the Ghost Tower being the most important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, if one enters directly from the Desire Tower into the various trajectories before the apocalypse of the Three-Tower world, what one faces is that world of common people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That world is too big, which also makes it very difficult for me to find the correct entry point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Ghost Tower is different. Through the Invitation Letter, Wen Zhaohua discovered back then that it was completely different from the way others entered the Desire Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, Wen Xishu has also proven this point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s very fair, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing knew the meaning of this sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is indeed very fair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Desire Tower does not require risking danger, but the Ghost Tower does. Wen Xishu got an Invitation Letter; you can envy him, but no one stops you from fighting for one using the same means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many people exploring the Ghost Tower, but how many have obtained an Invitation Letter? Almost none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fair, so I dare not go. But fortunately, with the help of some Desire Sequences, at higher levels, I have also gradually begun to be able to find those Corruptors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think there might come a day when he and I can join forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation between the two was interrupted because a figure suddenly leaped directly over the iron gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingzi, Old Man, sorry, I’m late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person speaking had a tall build, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes, but he did not appear overly muscular. He sat down on the third stool with great familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chess? Why are we playing this stuff again? Can we have something that relies on luck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun Hui, your killing intent has become a bit heavier recently,\" Wenren Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who arrived was none other than the number one on the Slaughter Tower ladder rankings, Xun Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person who could get both Xun Hui and Wenren Jing to come play chess was Albert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert laughed out loud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew you didn't like playing chess, so I actually brought a deck of playing cards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing gave a wry smile, then put away the chess pieces and board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not that I don't like it, but since you called the two of us here, it must be for serious business, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a person who likes to compete; I must win in everything. Listening to serious business while using my brain with you two is too tiring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just playing something that relies on luck is fine. Old Man, don't shuffle the cards. If you shuffle, there's no point in playing. Let Jingzi do it; Jingzi doesn't have the ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing thought to himself, as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever it came to playing cards, the job of shuffling always had to be done by him, because the hand speed of Albert and Xun Hui was too fast. It was very easy to cheat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these two people, one could only say they were worthy of being master and apprentice; the old one would never follow normal rules if he could cheat, and the young one was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, the two had to reach a tacit understanding to let Wenren Jing, who was relatively incapable of cheating and lacked astonishing hand speed, shuffle the cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three began to draw cards, and Xun Hui said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak, Old Man, what is the matter that you called me here for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert did not answer, but instead said first:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you felt that your temper has become more and more irritable recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing’s expression became a bit more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Albert’s hand moved a little faster while drawing cards. Xun Hui said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re going to talk, talk. Don't fucking cheat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert put the cards back without changing his expression and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you smelled anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui looked at Albert. At this time, the old man was wearing a black cloak, as if he were deliberately hiding himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Man, there is the smell of blood on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jing was startled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you... what have you done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert was very satisfied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good, very good, kid. Your five senses have become stronger. What floor of the Slaughter Tower are you on now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui’s tone was neither cold nor hot:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 59th floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, about to break through the 60th floor, that's really great. You are only in your third year and haven't even graduated yet,\" Albert said, feeling increasingly gratified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, all the smiles on his face disappeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the first thing I wanted to tell you today for calling you here: Xun Hui, it is time for you to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were truly shocking. It was only because Wenren Jing possessed the special ability to soothe his own emotions that he appeared very calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui frowned slightly, his resolute face saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Man, explain yourself clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can choose to hang around in the Desire Tower, enjoy life in the Desire Tower, and dissipate your hostility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can also choose to stay in the bunker for a long time and no longer consider hanging around in the Slaughter Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you still want to hang around in the Slaughter Tower and still want to become stronger, then the hostility in you will become heavier and heavier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently, you must have started to experience some inexplicable irritability, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui did not hide it; Albert and Wen Renjing were the two people he trusted most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I started seeing a girlfriend not long ago. When doing certain things, I find myself thinking about strange images.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip. Xun Hui said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking at her fair skin and listening to her pained gasps, I suddenly wanted to tear her apart. It felt like that would bring me more pleasure than being intimate with her. I wanted to see her blood splatter and her flesh torn to pieces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui spoke these hair-raising words very seriously. Because he had killed too many monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui also restrained this desire. Since childhood, Xun Hui had been an upright person; he felt that he was just stating some thoughts now, which did not count as a crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was very calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding killing, Xun Hui also felt it was nothing that needed to be covered up; it was just a job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had your reaction when I was at the forty-something floor. You are better than me; you still restrained yourself. I didn't restrain myself back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, I really killed someone. You only had the desire, but I didn't restrain the desire. When Old Jin and I were climbing the tower back then, an official from the Administrative Bureau scolded me for not showing enough respect to Old Jin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I tore him apart in front of Old Jin. The people around were scared silly because I was a lunatic, hahahahaha. Many of those who still remember this incident back then now hold high positions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are all afraid of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After killing the person, I felt much more comfortable, and that irritable feeling was gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Jin noticed something wrong with me at the time and talked to me for a long time. Later, I discovered that every once in a while, I would crave killing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Old Jin and I concluded that this is a curse. Living to this age, I have also verified many guesses, and these guesses were all correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun Hui, Jing, I kill often, it’s just that you don’t know, and I want to tell you that the higher the tower floor, the stronger that desire for crazy killing will be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been to the Desire Tower. There, I could not use violence, and under the constraints of the rules, I gradually found peace. But one cycle takes seven days, and achieving peace often takes several cycles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, I cannot stay that long; I must find a way to keep climbing the tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, these are things from decades ago. Later, Old Jin and I gave the official's family a sum of merit points, and they have been living quite well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher actually has such a brutal side? Wen Renjing was secretly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui said indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the only way? And, why am I like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's very simple. After passing the twenty-fifth floor, people who meet certain conditions will have these changes, start craving killing, and become irritable. You are a person who meets the conditions, but your heart is extremely strong, which allows you to suppress that desire to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you ignore it and continue to explore the Slaughter Tower, then your desire to kill will become stronger and stronger. If you don't release it periodically and let it accumulate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you will become a bloodthirsty and brutal monster. It’s just like accidentally killing too many monsters but forgetting to light a campfire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui's face seemed to have only one expression; he did not care that this had happened to him, only coldly asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? I clearly kill to the critical value every time, but I have absolutely never crossed the line... I consider myself to have controlled every kill very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is the reason. Once the kill value exceeds the limit, you will become a monster. So many people's safety lines are not set at the critical point; most people leave once they meet the Slaughter Tower exit criteria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only people like you and me... will always think about maximizing the gains each time, completing as many kills as possible. So every time, we are right at the critical point, and we try to go once and stay for several days, or even stay until we are almost at the full seven days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui was puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the rules allow us to do this, why not? Killing monsters is a very interesting thing. Waist-cutting, dismemberment, decapitation—these behaviors allow me to gain peace. And doing so can also earn stronger and better rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing had a feeling that he had completely become a supporting character for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not the first time the three of them had talked like this, but it was indeed the first time they had discussed this topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Wen Renjing realize that the teacher and Xun Hui were... so bloodthirsty in their bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On this point, the two of us are quite similar; I prefer to use sequence powers to melt the enemy directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not the point; the point is... killing to the critical point every time will cause certain powers to affect your temperament. You can understand this as a curse; in fact, it is indeed a curse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert suddenly narrowed his eyes and said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understand it as the Slaughter Tower being afraid of you, so some kind of rule is refusing you entry into the Slaughter Tower, or assimilating you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Xun Hui had heard these things, and he was also a bit surprised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have never mentioned these before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I am too used to all of this. I did not expect that someone would have the same symptoms as me so soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to give up exploring the Slaughter Tower, and I don't want to slow down the pace of exploring the Slaughter Tower. Old man, I hope to fight side by side with you before I am thirty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm really afraid you'll be too old and die before then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert laughed out loud again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahahaha, Jing, on this point you are not as good as Xun Hui; I like talking to Xun Hui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing smiled, feeling quite helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hanging out in the Desire Tower or staying in the bunker—the essence is relying on time to wear down your hostility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't want to waste time, then there is only one way to alleviate the curse, and that is to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So teacher... actually, you have been killing people all these years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert did not deny it at all:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, just today, I killed someone, a person in charge of case arbitration in a subordinate department of the Administrative Bureau. I feel refreshed now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing first shook his head, then sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess this person really deserved to die? Did they do a lot of harmful things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the people I have killed so far all possess these characteristics. The person I killed this time used their position to wrongly judge many cases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And before, I killed rapists, scammers, and those who set up honey traps. Once I pretend to be a foolish, rich, senile old man, the bad guys around me increase. I like them to be bad; the less conscience they have, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, even if one day there are no bad people in this world, as long as I still have to climb the tower, I will not stop killing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will kill good people just the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the kind-faced old principal said these words, his expression was calm, his speech was slow, and no ripples could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing did not speak; he knew that the teacher was committed to solving the mystery at the top of the Slaughter Tower, and for this, he would sweep away any obstacles in his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've been killing for so many years, old man, you really hide it deep. It seems you won't defend your killing either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert gave a contemptuous smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is nothing to defend. If this world were all 'A is wrong, B is right,' that would be too perfect. Unfortunately, that is not the case. This world is often 'A is wrong, but less so, and B is also wrong, but more so.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All choices in life are nothing more than choosing the right one, or when there is no right option, choosing the one with the smaller loss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing was somewhat helpless, but he knew clearly that the teacher was already controlling it as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui completely agreed with this point, and he did not mind killing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that's the case, please give me a list of people to kill; I need a three-year supply. I will not stop my pace of climbing the tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impression Xun Hui gave was one of overflowing murderous aura, cold-blooded yet decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crazy, who to kill must be investigated slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing suddenly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, why does Wen Zhaohua not have these manifestations?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we don't count that thing he did, just looking at his previous performance, he seems to be unaffected by the curse. Come to think of it, he is just like us, pursuing a perfect rating every time, and will kill to the kill value limit as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But every time he sees me, I can't feel a shred of murderous aura. The curse seems to have no effect on him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that mean he knows some way to avoid it? Perhaps he doesn't even know it himself, but just inadvertently performed certain behaviors that avoided it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although this is a bit far-fetched... but I always feel that Wen Zhaohua and Wen Xishu are both quite special. Maybe we can find a way to suppress the Slaughter Tower curse from Wen Xishu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing sighed lightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This curse is indeed simple to deal with—killing... for people of our status, it is actually very easy. But a curse is a curse; I think if it can be lifted, we should at least try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, Xun Hui said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen Xishu, is he Wen Zhaohua's younger brother? That guy who has been in the spotlight recently, getting a level-six perfect rating in the Trick Tower four times in a row? Jing, you actually think he can help me and the teacher get rid of the curse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just think he might find some special path. This feeling is strange, but I am indeed thinking that perhaps, like Wen Zhaohua, he is someone who can always bring surprises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert was very satisfied with the turn of the conversation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it's this little guy, very interesting. Since we are talking about him, let me talk about the next thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xun Hui and Wen Renjing both listened carefully, and Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a very interesting little guy. Regardless of whether you think Wen Zhaohua gave him some kind of opportunity or treasure... but now in my view, this little guy will be able to fill Wen Zhaohua's vacancy in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words shocked both Xun Hui and Wen Renjing. The teacher's evaluation of Wen Xishu seemed a bit too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert just laughed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun Hui, he is going to ascend the tower today, along with Old Jin's grandson; you should go with the two of them. This is his first time landing at the Slaughter Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3459,"2026-06-20T04:46:41.185Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","40332787f8a5a3ca60d4e4d40abdc2e484160eab1a0703af7747b84e96c8d2da","the-three-towers-game-chapter-107","the-three-towers-game-chapter-105",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
