Chapter 125: Settlement of One Month's Hard Work

The Great Devouring is coming.

The impact of these few words was too great. Originally, Albert was still thinking about whether this kid had obtained any special gains this time after reaching level six again.

As a result, he opened his mouth with a piece of bad news.

Albert's face was solemn:

"I am not very familiar with the Mysterious Tower Guide, but the Slaughter Tower Guide is very polite to me. But recently, I haven't caused any stir when climbing the tower. He also didn't give me any effective information. Did your news come from the Mysterious Tower Guide?"

The black mysterious head actually didn't even pay attention to the old principal?

Looking at it this way...

His "hard to say," "not easy to say," "better not to say" triple-threat to himself seemed understandable.

Wen Xishu said:

"Yes, the Mysterious Tower Guide clearly told me that there will be a Great Devouring recently... I can also be considered to have learned some information about the Great Devouring from him. So I came to tell you about it."

Albert said:

"Regarding the Great Devouring, what do you want to know?"

Wen Xishu said:

"Can the Great Devouring be understood as the tasks of the Mysterious Tower being transferred to the bunker?"

Albert nodded:

"Yes, you can say that. The Great Devouring will appear with many vortexes, and these vortexes will continuously devour people in the bunker."

"These vortexes are generally distributed on the lowest levels; the higher the level, the fewer the vortexes."

"And every vortex can see some clues according to different magic resistance values. If we leave these vortexes alone, the vortexes will continuously grow larger, continuously absorbing things around them, including people or buildings. The worst result is that a certain level is completely destroyed—not destroyed, to be precise, it directly disappears."

"For example, the functional level of the second floor becomes the residential level of the first floor. Of course, this kind of thing has only happened once in history."

"At the current stage, we take an active combat approach to the Great Devouring. We will no longer let this kind of thing happen. Even if we have to pile up human lives, we will make people eliminate the vortexes."

Wen Xishu didn't expect the Great Devouring to be so violent.

This was aimed at making the bunker disappear. Looking at it this way, it really counted as a counterattack by "that world" against the "bunker" through the Three Towers.

"Then will the number of vortexes be very large?"

Albert nodded:

"Very large. There will be many vortexes, and they are divided into levels according to color. I think you shouldn't be unfamiliar with this color-level set, right?"

Wen Xishu obviously guessed it:

"You mean... the same mechanism as the equipment and props?"

Albert nodded:

"Yes, orange vortexes are the hardest to resolve, purple are a bit easier, but it's also a narrow escape, blue are easier, but you still have to be careful, everywhere is full of danger."

"The simplest are white vortexes. White vortexes have a relatively lower mortality rate, and they are also the easiest to pile up with human lives."

Wen Xishu had learned something.

"Do all vortexes have to be eliminated?"

Albert shook his head:

"That's not necessary; if that were the case, we wouldn't have enough people in the bunker to die."

"Eliminating all vortexes is actually very unrealistic. If you are lucky, a certain elite can achieve a high completion rating in a high-level vortex, which will improve the progress of defending against the Great Devouring by a large margin."

"In short, the number of vortexes will be large, but we only need to eliminate a portion of the vortexes to make the Great Devouring stop early."

"Normally, we will arrange for a large number of personnel to charge at white vortexes, and I myself, as well as those old things in the Council of Elders, and my old friends, will find ways to enter purple or blue vortexes."

The reason Albert could become a legend was that Albert once turned the tide in the Great Devouring, like a god of war, destroying multiple vortexes with his own strength.

Looking at it now, the old principal was indeed the number one person in the bunker. Below the old principal, there were that old friend, and several elders of the Council of Elders.

They must all be masters of climbing the tower.

And it was very likely that they were all leading figures like Xun Hui, the hidden legends of the bunker.

Above Xun Hui was the old principal, but the gap between these two was huge, and it was a broken link in the middle, with too many levels that could be inserted.

Wen Xishu was considered to have understood that the several elders of the Council of Elders should be at this level.

"Has Wen Zhaohua contributed in the Great Devouring?" Wen Xishu asked suddenly.

"Hahaha, this is a sensitive topic. I won't answer. I said, I won't talk about everything regarding Wen Zhaohua. You go collect it yourself, go feel it. Let's talk about the Great Devouring. We should consider how to deal with the Great Devouring now."

Albert turned the topic back. Wen Xishu had a feeling...

Perhaps the old man knew that Wen Zhaohua was hiding some intention, but he couldn't guess it either. And Wen Zhaohua must have made very evil behaviors.

So much so that the old man didn't want to mention this person at all, but he seemed to still have some expectations for him in his heart.

Wen Xishu didn't entangle much either, saying:

"So, if I can resolve orange vortexes, can I resolve the Great Devouring faster?"

Albert and Jia Baer looked at Wen Xishu at the same time. Jia Baer smiled:

"A hero comes from a young man, this spirit has the demeanor of you back then, Principal."

"Hahahahahaha, very good, very good. If you really do it, then you are the hero of the bunker."

Albert was very satisfied with Wen Xishu's answer. He really had special expectations for his three disciples in the past.

There is no immortality in this world, and the Three Towers cannot reverse life and death. He knew he would die one day.

He hoped that after he died, there would be someone who could carry the bunker.

Albert said:

"What is your magic resistance value?"

"28 points." Wen Xishu answered truthfully.

Albert was slightly surprised, but then relieved. This kid was rushing faster than Wen Zhaohua.

But thinking about it carefully, it was also reasonable.

This attitude of not being able to rest after climbing the Mysterious Tower and immediately starting to climb again, plus the level of level-six completion every time...

"It hasn't been long, and you've already completed half of the tasks. I thought it would be the mid-term before your magic resistance reached 50 points. But I didn't expect it to be only one month."

One month had passed since Wen Xishu first climbed the Mysterious Tower.

The death-row prisoner from a month ago was now a figure of the bunker.

"If the Guide gave you news, then generally speaking, the Great Devouring will appear within ten days."

"Your first month went very well. You got rid of the identity of a death-row prisoner and have a certain topic in the bunker—no, a very high topic. Especially in the bottom two levels with the largest population, everyone is discussing you."

"The second month, if you can do better than I did before in the Great Devouring, then you are the well-deserved hero of the bunker."

Albert was very optimistic about Wen Xishu. Jia Baer heard it; the principal had special expectations for Student Wen.

Wen Xishu said:

"Can I take back my name? I brought back a library recently."

Albert had actually heard Jia Baer's report, but he was still very happy:

"Actually, you are already qualified to take back your name. After your magic resistance exceeded 25 points, you were already the number one person in the Mysterious Tower."

"Since you and Wen Zhaohua, the person with the highest magic resistance is 25 points."

This exposed the number of people exploring the Mysterious Tower to some extent.

That is to say, he was now the number one person in the Mysterious Tower in the true sense.

"This is also... too few."

Albert sighed:

"The Mysterious Tower came out late, and the mortality rate is high. At the beginning, the bunker Security Bureau, in order to obtain the secrets on you, arranged large-scale 'undercover' agents in the Mysterious Tower, and the survival rate of these 'undercover' agents was less than 11%."

"And all along, there has never been a large-scale assault team established to explore the Mysterious Tower."

"It was also recently, under my lobbying, that the Mysterious Tower Assault Team was truly established."

Mentioning the Mysterious Tower Assault Team, the old principal was clearly interested, and he remembered another thing:

"Child, you can take back your name. Your library came just in time. Facilities like libraries, hospitals, and travel agencies can all very well help the people at the bottom understand the Three Towers world."

"I think the time is ripe, so are you ready?"

Wen Xishu realized that if he said he was ready, then from today on, the matter of who the new bunker legend Wen Xishu really was would be made public.

Albert looked at Wen Xishu, waiting for Wen Xishu's answer.

Wen Xishu said:

"If my magic resistance reaches 50 points, do you have any plans for me to do anything?"

Albert nodded:

"Of course, if your magic resistance reaches 50 points, I think you will know the secrets of the academy completely. By then, you will take on the responsibilities that belong to you, and correspondingly, I will also let the bunker grant you the power and honor you deserve."

Wen Xishu guessed it, but he didn't expect the old principal to be so undisguised. Is this... planning to let me be the dean of the Mysterious Tower Academy?

How sharp was Albert's vision? He almost saw through what Wen Xishu was thinking. He really didn't disguise it, directly saying in front of Jia Baer:

"I originally planned that by the mid-term, your magic resistance would exceed 25 points, you would take back your name, and let all the people at the bottom know your real age."

"I issued double credits for exploring the Mysterious Tower just to make you lead in credits by a gap."

"Then by the end of the term, if your magic resistance could rise steadily and reach 50 points, then it is very likely that you would be the first person to unlock the secret of the academy's treasure."

"By then, your identity would no longer be a student. And your credits would definitely be leading other students by a gap. No student would be unconvinced."

When the old principal said this, he sighed:

"The biggest problem with this set of plans is that I thought you might not have the ability to follow my rhythm. According to my rhythm."

"Looking at it now, this is indeed a problem, but it is my problem. I underestimated you. One semester is four months, and you only used one month to reach the progress of the mid-term, and even went to the Slaughter Tower once in the middle."

"So, if you want to take back your name, it is completely fine."

Wen Xishu was a bit amused. The old principal actually formulated the rhythm according to the standard of a peerless genius, always worried that Wen Xishu didn't have that kind of talent.

But talent compared to a cheat, it was a bit lacking.

Wen Xishu thought about it and said:

"One last question, Principal, if I want to take back my name, what kind of risk will I face?"

Albert also thought for a while:

"You have already proven your value to me. If you are willing to take back your name, theoretically you will not have any risk."

"You should be clear about what we have been doing recently."

The Mysterious Tower Academy is about to be announced.

The Mysterious Tower Assault Team has been established.

The third bureau chief of the bunker Security Bureau was killed...

These things have reminded many people that those who block the general trend will die. And once Wen Xishu takes back his name, he will inevitably be cared for by Albert and the Mysterious Tower Assault Team.

And even cared for by Xun Hui, who killed the Security Bureau chief.

Under so many layers of relationships, anyone who dares to provoke Wen Xishu is almost equivalent to declaring war on Albert.

Albert's attitude toward Wen Xishu is also constantly changing, from the beginning of "if you can't take back your name, then you are a waste" to now "whoever dares to hinder you, that person must die."

Wen Xishu was still quite grateful, although all of this was exchanged for his life in the Mysterious Tower.

But Albert at least guaranteed a fairness—the fairness of being able to win dignity and honor by risking one's life.

In his previous life, risking one's life often couldn't get anything back, more like a death struggle before dying.

Wen Xishu also had the answer in his heart:

"Then, from today on, I don't want to call myself Wen Xun anymore. I still think the name Wen Xishu sounds quite good."

Albert said:

"No problem, Student Wen Xishu. This matter, in an hour, the whole school will know. You can think in advance about what kind of mentality to use to face the fact that you are Wen Xishu."

This sounded a bit strange. I am Wen Xishu, what kind of mentality do I need to face it?

But Wen Xishu also knew that the old principal had a point in saying this.

Because Wen Xishu's popularity is too high now, he might become a celebrity in the whole school overnight.

Wen Xishu said:

"Just a normal mentality, anyway, it can't delay my climbing the tower."

Jia Baer praised:

"Good mentality, Student Wen. Principal, then I will take my leave first. I will go to be responsible for modifying the files. Here I congratulate Student Wen on taking back your name."

Albert waved his hand:

"Next, you'd better call that kid named Liu Jinsen again. Before coming to see you, I reached an agreement with those guys in the Council of Elders."

"From now on, they will no longer count the sins of the Wen family on you, and at the same time, you will also become the security consultant of the Mysterious Tower Assault Team. In addition, Liu Jinsen will become your personal assistant."

This news was really one more explosive than the other. Didn't expect Liu Sir and his fate to be quite deep.

Albert said:

"Regarding the Great Devouring, I and the Council of Elders will go prepare again. Perhaps this Great Devouring will also force my old friend out."

"By the way, do you have any gains recently?"

Wen Xishu thought about it:

"My ability improvement seems quite slow. This exploration actually didn't bring me much benefit; sequences, props, not a single one."

Albert thought it was normal. Although your luck is good, you can't have sequences, runes, and god-level props every time.

Many times, it is normal to only get supplies or facilities.

Albert was about to comfort Wen Xishu, telling Wen Xishu to keep a level head, that climbing the tower is a very long thing, and one shouldn't be impatient.

But Wen Xishu suddenly said:

"By the way, old principal, do you know where Wind City is?"

Albert said:

"A bit of an impression, a place where the apocalypse atmosphere is completely different from other regions. This region has always been very mysterious. There seems to be no master-level strong person inside, but it has unique rules."

"In the Slaughter Tower, it is generally not recommended to explore such regions with rules."

Wen Xishu said:

"I obtained the ruling power of this Wind City in the Mysterious Tower, and I am considered the city lord of Wind City."

"Oh, not bad... wait a minute, what did you say?" Albert looked at Wen Xishu in surprise.

Wen Xishu said:

"I feel that it should also be effective in the Slaughter Tower, and... it is also effective in the real world. After all, the Mysterious Tower affects the real world."

"Simply put, Wind City is under my management. You are right, Wind City actually has no master; it is a pure land of rules. But now it has one."

The old immortal-like Albert, this time his mouth was also so big that it seemed like he was going to swallow a light bulb:

"You kid, don't deceive this old man. I don't like to joke with people about this kind of thing."

"Didn't lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can try going to Wind City next time. I gave you a whitelist. If you go there, you will find that the monsters there won't attack you."

Wen Xishu began to tell Albert about his encounter in the Mysterious Tower. He told it in great detail, from the design of the level at the beginning to the creator John and Catherine.

After hearing all this, Albert sighed with emotion:

"A merit for all ages... a merit for all ages. Isn't this equivalent to... having a camp? No... this is the cradle of a new world."

Albert, who had wanted to break out of the bunker all his life and return to the real world through the Three Towers, was excited at this time.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about what to do if one day humanity walked out of the bunker?

Can humanity survive in that world full of rule weirdness and apocalypse-evolved creatures everywhere?

These thoughts all troubled Albert.

He could survive, this was undoubtedly, but if it was really as Old Jin said—

"You can survive, have you considered others?" "After the hundredth floor is the real world, you broke through the barrier of the Three Towers, what do you think is a good thing?" "The people in the bunker are not happy, but their unhappiness is compared to before the apocalypse descended. You have to know... Albert, outside, is the real apocalypse."

These words from a good friend, Albert had not listened to them.

"It seems that your brother is right, the Mysterious Tower is the most important. This kind of thing that I thought I could only do after going out, you did it in the bunker. I hope you are not lying to me."

Albert clearly still felt very shocked.

After all, what Wen Xishu did was too outrageous. Actually, Wen Xishu himself didn't expect that a person like the old principal would have such a big reaction.

"I will personally verify it in the Slaughter Tower. Yes, I must go once immediately."

For Albert, entering the Slaughter Tower to kill a few monsters and then returning to the bunker was not a difficult thing.

"I hope the place I go this time won't be too far from me."

Wen Xishu was shocked:

"You are going now?"

Albert nodded:

"Yes, but don't worry, before that, I will let you take back your name, and I will also warn everyone."

"From now on, your safety will be directly linked to me."

The card face of the Lord of Wind City!

Wen Xishu was ecstatic in his heart. Taking back his name, he was actually still a bit empty.

After all, in the system area, students can use Three Towers abilities. He was really worried about being plotted against on the road.

With the old principal's words as a guarantee, Wen Xishu felt much more at ease.

3:00 PM.

The Three Towers Academy summoned all teachers and students to announce three major things in the school's auditorium.

The first major thing, perhaps within half a year, the school will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Because the school will have a new academy—the Mysterious Tower Academy.

Wen Xishu was not surprised why the old principal knew more information than himself. After all, the last "dean-to-be" he cultivated was the man named Wen Zhaohua.

This first major thing caused a huge sensation, and many students also understood why there was a move to double credits for exploring the Mysterious Tower.

Students were also quite curious about how the Mysterious Tower Academy would appear, in what form it would appear, and where in the school it would appear.

At the same time, they were also very curious, who would be the dean of the Mysterious Tower Academy?

Does the school currently have the teaching staff for the Mysterious Tower Academy?

It is rumored that the power of the weird sequence can turn decay into magic, and it is a combination of the desire sequence and the slaughter sequence.

I don't know what the art style of the students of the Mysterious Tower Academy is like? Currently, those who climb the Mysterious Tower are almost all at the bottom of society, as well as criminals or mental patients.

Will the appearance of the Mysterious Tower Academy significantly improve the status of those who climb the Mysterious Tower?

Students discussed heatedly, but soon quieted down. Because Jia Baer, who was speaking, paused slightly and told about the second major thing—

The Great Devouring is coming.

The preview of the Mysterious Tower Academy only made the students say "wow," but the Great Devouring made the collective teachers and students show fearful expressions.

This undoubtedly caused panic among many students and teachers. Many people know how terrifying the Great Devouring is.

How many families will be broken because of the Great Devouring, how many children will become orphans because of the Great Devouring.

The most terrifying thing is that those who hide huge resentment in their hearts might become one of the vortexes of the Great Devouring themselves.

Combined with the Great Devouring coming, everyone truly realized the necessity of establishing the Mysterious Tower Assault Team.

If there were no Mysterious Tower Assault Team, then the Great Devouring would always appear.

Without a doubt, the current "windfall" is to become a student of the Mysterious Tower Academy.

Combined with the arrival of the Great Devouring, the whole people will enter a state of alert, and at the same time, school teachers also encourage school students to go to the second floor, to the library brought by Wen Xishu, to learn various knowledge of the Three Towers world as much as possible.

And because of this, all teachers and students here learned that Wen Xishu brought back a level-six facility again.

When the speech reached this point, the teachers and students below were clearly whispering, shocked at Wen Xishu's speed of climbing the Mysterious Tower.

This speed was too terrifying.

"Is this person a monster?"

"Wouldn't it really be like the rumors, being of the same generation as the principal."

"Will this person be the dean of the Mysterious Tower Academy?"

"Don't say it, you really don't say it."

"But it is said... the propaganda at the bottom says Wen Xishu is very young, an eighteen-year-old genius."

"It's not impossible, but the possibility is very low, because in the bunker there are no exceptions, all geniuses must be students of our Three Towers Academy."

"Eighteen years old? I don't think it's realistic, I think only people with self-destructive tendencies would climb the tower at such a high frequency."

"What you think is what you think, the self-destruction you think, it might just be entertainment in others' eyes."

The discussion about Wen Xishu clearly increased, making the school's auditorium look noisy.

But at this time, Jia Baer, who was speaking, did not stop it, but let everyone discuss it. The topic running from the Great Devouring to Wen Xishu here just happened to meet Jia Baer's wish.

After a long while, Jia Baer cleared his throat:

"It seems that everyone is quite interested in who Wen Xishu really is. Just right, the academy will also announce the third major thing, which is about the real identity of Student Wen Xishu."

The entire noisy auditorium became silent instantly.

Everyone was curious about who Wen Xishu really was. At this moment, Wang Yueyun, Nisen, and Xiao Jin were also holding their breath.

"Wen Xun... is not here."

Wang Yueyun realized this point, his heart suddenly began to beat wildly, he clearly guessed a result.

And at this time, the person announcing this result was not Jia Baer.

At this time, Jia Baer stood respectfully to the side, welcoming the man who was about to walk onto the podium.

Bunker legend, Albert Napolitano.

When the old principal came up, everyone realized that Wen Xishu and the old principal knew each other.

Is this the handover of the old legend and the new legend?

Albert laughed particularly unceremoniously:

"Ah hahahahaha, everyone don't be nervous, my little friend Wen Xishu is actually just an ordinary student who loves climbing the tower. Many people have actually seen him."

Student?

This finally confirmed a rumor that Wen Xishu is very young.

Actually, some people from big families had already guessed it. Gongben Miyamoto Yishu suddenly remembered not long ago...

Wen Xun's exquisite performance.

He had a feeling of being played.

Wang Yueyun clenched his fists, excited. No matter how dull Nisen was, he should have a reaction at this time.

"Bro... Wen Xishu is... is our..."

At this time, Albert said:

"Among the freshmen of the Slaughter Tower Academy, there is one named Wen Xun, he is Wen Xishu. Based on many reasons, he needs to cover his identity. But recently, he and I reached a unified opinion, and we unanimously believe that he doesn't need to cover it up."

The moment the guess became a stone hammer, it still made countless people feel very surprised.

There was Wang Xia, the Wang young master who lost face on the second floor of the bunker. He never thought that when they went to the shipwreck cabin together... it was actually with the legendary newcomer Wen Xishu.

"Damn, no wonder I felt I was targeted by the shipwreck cabin, he is the owner of the shipwreck cabin."

Jiang Xue was also very surprised.

So... that boy was actually Wen Xishu?

He was actually Wen Xishu?

Wang Yueyun, who had already guessed everything, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Perhaps, I can be in the same dormitory as him, which proves that I am not bad either?"

Thinking about it now, Wen Xun... no, the things Wen Xishu said, almost all recognized him, Nisen, and Xiao Jin.

This made Wang Yueyun feel that his internal friction was cured. The whole person became confident.

The whispering of all teachers and students made the auditorium lively again. Gongben Miyamoto Yishu was still thinking:

If I had beaten him up at that time... I would be the most famous.

At this time, Gongben Miyamoto Yishu's mind was full of plans on how to step on Wen Xishu to get ahead.

But at this time, Albert said:

"He has achieved success repeatedly in the Mysterious Tower, and all of them are unprecedented successes. Such a genius, of course, doesn't need to cover it up."

"Everyone also knows that our Three Towers Academy is not short of excellent people, and not even short of geniuses."

"But for some special reasons, Wen Xishu needed to change his name and surname earlier. Here, I also have to greet all teachers and students: Student Wen Xishu will still be a freshman of the Slaughter Tower Academy, at least for the time being. But his credits are actually enough to graduate. In this month of the Slaughter Tower Academy, he has already achieved unimaginable achievements."

"Unfortunately, no freshman can have half of his credits."

"And, he will continue to widen the gap with you. I hope you can catch up with him. Prove that this era is not just him by climbing the tower bravely and climbing to a good result."

"But this is also the only way. I must remind everyone that after Wen Xishu climbed the Mysterious Tower for the first time, the contribution he made to alleviate that plague. It can be said that it was his own strength that turned the tide, giving many people a chance to survive."

Jiang Xue and Wang Yueyun deeply agreed.

Both of them cherished the opportunity to study at the Three Towers Academy, and it can be said that this opportunity was given by Wen Xishu.

Albert said:

"For such a person, if anyone still dares to spread unfavorable remarks about him, and threatens his safety in the bunker..."

Albert suddenly laughed:

"Ah hahahahaha, then this old man will be very happy to educate this person on how to be a human."

Gongben Miyamoto Yishu's eyes were dull.

He was stupid, but he could hear that this was the old principal standing up for Wen Xishu.

But why?

Regarding the things the Wen family did, Gongben Miyamoto Yishu had heard of them, which could be said to be things that angered both gods and men.

Among the six big families, even the Wen family agreed to crusade against the Wen family. Because of this, the Wen family was exterminated.

At that time, everyone thought that the old principal's attitude was to support the extermination of the Wen family.

But now, only a month has passed, and the old principal's attitude has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Why is this?

In the academy, students were shocked by all the news of the day.

On the other side, Wen Xishu was chatting with Liu Jinsen.

In the principal's office, Wen Xishu used the old principal's phone to talk to Liu Jinsen.

"Liu Sir, do you know about your recent appointment? You said last time that you were promoted."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Jinsen was clearly a bit embarrassed, not knowing how to answer for a while.

After Wen Xishu saw the embarrassment on Liu Jinsen's tough face, he was very satisfied.

Yes, Liu Jinsen was promoted, becoming Wen Xishu's assistant.

A month ago, Liu Jinsen still said coldly: "Everything about you is my responsibility."

Now, everything about Wen Xishu is still Liu Jinsen's responsibility, as if nothing has changed.

But everything has changed.

Liu Jinsen thought for a long time and said:

"I am honored to meet you. I am not jealous of your success. Perhaps for outsiders, your change in status within a month is too outrageous. But I know you are truly risking your life."

"As someone from the Security Bureau, I appreciate such people."

"Congratulations, Wen Xishu."

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Liu Sir, I want to ask a very sensitive question."

Liu Jinsen said:

"Is it about Wen Zhaohua?"

Wen Xishu said:

"It seems it really is sensitive. You actually guessed it directly."

Liu Jinsen said:

"Now I am your subordinate... theoretically, if you ask me, I will say it. But regarding your brother, I just know, but I can't guarantee that everything is definitely the truth. Wen Xishu, the things I say and the things others say are almost no different."

"Once you know, you might think Wen Zhaohua is very evil. But perhaps, this is not correct. Even so, do you still want to get the answer from me?"

What Liu Jinsen said was actually the reason why the old principal didn't want to tell Wen Xishu about Wen Zhaohua.

Because Wen Zhaohua didn't treat only one person badly—Wen Xishu.

So the old principal hoped that Wen Xishu could have his own way to find the logic of Wen Zhaohua's actions. Rather than through the oral accounts of others.

In the oral accounts of others, Wen Zhaohua is an absolute villain.

Wen Xishu said:

"Say it, I really want to know. I also have my own judgment. But I think, at least I should know what he has done in everyone's eyes."

Liu Jinsen was silent for a few seconds:

"Alright, regarding the things Wen Zhaohua committed, there are two things. One is top-secret, only bureau-chief-level people know."

"Unfortunately, I cannot tell you."

"But the other one, I know,?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"It has nothing to do with me, Liu Sir, don't have any burden, just say it. You don't think I will resent you because of your evil description of Wen Zhaohua, right?"

Liu Jinsen actually really had this worry, but since Wen Xishu took the initiative to point it out, he let go:

"Then I will say it."

Liu Jinsen was clearly in a tone of making up his mind:

"Wen Zhaohua, in league with the Wen family, including your uncles, did something that angered everyone."

"Slaughter the list."

Wen Xishu had been guessing what could anger everyone, and he had been thinking in an extremely evil direction, but the two words "slaughter the list" still made him a bit surprised.

"Are you talking about... the Ladder List?"

Liu Jinsen sighed:

"Yes. Sigh. At that time, Wen Zhaohua was a good friend of Xun Hui and Wen Renjing, and was the old principal's proud student. He contacted many people on the Slaughter Tower Ladder List through the Comrade Bracer..."

"It can be said that half of the top hundred on the Ladder List were united together, and then..."

Liu Jinsen clearly also had some emotional fluctuations:

"Then they entered the Slaughter Tower together. In the Slaughter Tower, the Wen family, Wen Zhaohua, launched a sneak attack..."

"In league with the monsters in the Slaughter Tower, they launched an attack on that group of people on the Ladder List."

"That battle almost killed half of the experts on the Ladder List. Originally, with the strength of the Wen family, even Wen Zhaohua's own strength, it couldn't be done."

"But according to the few experts who survived

"Among those monsters, there were elite species, rare species, and even... leader-level ones, and even more terrifying existences."

"With the help of these monsters, the experts on the Heavenly Ladder Ranking were crushed, suffering countless deaths and injuries."

"Only a very small number of experts who possessed life-saving sequences managed to escape by luck and returned to the bunker."

"After this battle, the bunker's supply of resources faced problems, the number of explorations of the Slaughter Tower was severely insufficient, and it nearly... nearly triggered a Great Devouring at the Slaughter Tower level."

"The upper levels of the bunker only managed to stabilize the situation again at the cost of the lives of countless Anquan Bureau soldiers."

It was too atrocious.

Wen Xishu had thought that for the Wen family to be wiped out in a world that called for human rights... it must have been a crime of the highest atrocity.

But it was also possible that he was the victim of a top-tier injustice.

But now, after learning the sequence of events, even he felt that everything Wen Zhaohua had done was too atrocious.

This person was too complex.

He explored three towers simultaneously, apprenticed under the bunker's number one person, and became the old principal's beloved disciple.

And he became brothers with two other proud sons of heaven.

With his own strength, he raised the Wen family from obscurity to the position of a bunker powerhouse.

Furthermore, he had a profound understanding of the Three Towers. It could be said that at a certain stage, Wen Zhaohua seemed to be the future of the bunker.

Wen Zhaohua's insights into the Three Towers also changed the old principal's view of the Three Towers.

Such a person, why would he do such a thing?

Half of the experts on the Heavenly Ladder Ranking died, nearly triggering a Great Devouring... besides that, there was another crime that even Liu Jinsen did not know about, which was classified as top-secret...

Wen Xishu smiled and said:

"No wonder you didn't know how to bring it up. If it were me, I wouldn't know how to bring it up either. This is truly too difficult."

"Sir Liu, thank you for telling me these things. I believe what you said."

Liu Jinsen said:

"Do you... do you hate Wen Zhaohua? The crime he committed is classified as 'Crimes Against Humanity'."

Wen Xishu thought to himself that this charge was really no exaggeration. If the truth was indeed as described.

"What he did, objectively described, in the eyes of the bunker people, is something that angers both man and god. Crimes Against Humanity... hahaha, my brother is actually like this."

Liu Jinsen was somewhat surprised by Wen Xishu's reaction.

Wen Xishu actually didn't know how to face this matter either, but he thought for a moment:

"I will not defend him, but I will not give up investigating this matter. Sir Liu, thank you."

"By the way, I'll tell you one thing."

Liu Jinsen did not expect that Wen Xishu would digest this matter so lightly.

Actually, he also hoped that Wen Zhaohua had a reason, had some hidden difficulties. That way, there would at least be a justification.

He was truly afraid that this was some kind of cliché setting like a Wen family curse; otherwise, he could not imagine why Wen Zhaohua would do such a thing.

Of course, he hoped even less that Wen Xishu would undergo such a change.

"Speak, what is it."

"Sir Liu, my previous identity was the Three Towers Academy freshman Wen Xun. You should know about this. Now, I am no longer Wen Xun; I am Wen Xishu. I have already reclaimed my identity."

Liu Jinsen said:

"Congratulations, congratulations. However, you have increased my workload with this."

Wen Xishu brought up another matter:

"Furthermore, the Xishu Sect might be of great use in the future. The Great Devouring is coming. Sir Liu, I think the Xishu Sect might be able to help us."
