Chapter 174: Double Yolk Egg

Wen Zhaohua.

This answer truly made Albert feel very surprised.

However, his reaction was also very interesting:

"Truly not bad, he actually didn't die. It seems he found a way to smuggle."

There was no suspicion, nor did he ask about many things. For this former student, and now student, Albert didn't seem to care too much.

He just maintained appropriate concern.

"Smuggle?" Wen Xishu, on the other hand, became interested.

Albert said:

"Once, I also had such an opportunity. My strength seemed to be recognized by a very strange guy. I don't know who he is, but he might be one of those twelve constellations."

"However, in terms of appearance, I couldn't recognize him."

Wen Xishu did not speak.

Albert continued:

"He invited me, saying he had a way to let me go to the real world and leave the bunker."

"But you refused." Wen Xishu then spoke.

Albert nodded:

"I hate many people in the bunker, but I cannot leave them behind. I am also very afraid that bypassing the procedure and arriving directly at the result is a wrong approach."

"You know, I have never liked doing easy things."

Wen Xishu felt awe in his heart.

He also realized...

Among the twelve constellations, there exists a constellation whose style of doing things is smuggling... directly converting someone from the bunker into someone on the Three Towers battlefield.

Who could it be?

Currently, he knows Aries, Gemini, Scorpio, Libra, Aquarius, Pisces, Cancer, Leo, Virgo...

Only three constellations, Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Taurus, are constellations whose style of doing things Wen Xishu is completely unaware of.

Most likely, the one the old principal encountered was one of Sagittarius, Capricorn, or Taurus.

However, Wen Xishu was not in a hurry. After all...

He always felt that soon these three constellations would also notice him.

Albert switched back to the main topic, his expression also carrying faint joy:

"Since he is still alive, then I am relieved. You brothers met, he was very happy, right?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Very happy, he hugged me. Teacher, can I trust you?"

Wen Xishu's transition was a bit abrupt, because the Great Devouring had not ended yet.

Albert said:

"It seems he left behind very valuable clues. No wonder you let Evelyn leave. Speak."

Wen Xishu still trusted Albert. If the Three Towers were a wall, Albert's wish was to cross this wall.

He was a thorough practitioner.

"After the Wen family was wiped out... how was the old Wen family residence handled?"

Albert guessed it:

"It seems there are very valuable things in the old residence. The old Wen family residence has been sealed, and no one has moved in yet, because Wen Zhaohua's secret is still something many people in the bunker... and even the five elders are eager to dig out."

Wen Xishu heard this, and it was just sealed, so it was not a big problem. He said seriously:

"Principal, I need to go to the old Wen family residence. There are clues inside that only I can discover."

"No problem, wait until the Great Devouring ends. By then, with your reputation, doing anything should not be hindered. At least not on the surface."

"Perhaps, there will be people hindering you openly, but secretly currying favor with you."

Wen Xishu frowned slightly:

"Who?"

Albert said:

"You will know when the time comes. No matter what challenges you encounter, don't refuse, don't be afraid."

"In addition, if the secret in the old Wen family residence... can be shared with me, I am also very curious."

Albert was indeed very curious about what Wen Zhaohua had done. In fact, learning that this former disciple was still alive made him feel very happy.

Wen Xishu said:

"If I can really find this secret, after I summarize the secret, I will tell you the part that can be told to you."

Albert nodded:

"Alright, let's talk about business. You should still be heading to an orange vortex, right?"

"Yes, I don't intend to rest for too long." Wen Xishu was already looking at the screen.

But soon, he discovered the problem.

"These two vortexes... what's going on?"

Albert said:

"They merged."

Through the safe house, observing the orange vortex hanging in the high sky of the second level, there should have been six left.

But now, there were only five left.

It was not that someone had disintegrated the fourth vortex, but that two vortexes had merged into one.

Wen Xishu said:

"Can it even be like this? Obsession fusion?"

Albert explained:

"It's my first time seeing it too. I guess, most likely, these two vortexes come from the same place."

Wen Xishu also agreed with this statement.

He remembered the heavy rain in Jiangcheng. In the heavy rain, there was Ding Dong's mental hospital, and Tang Rui killing people in the rainy night, and naturally there were other qualified people who made anchors for their lives in that heavy rain.

Without a doubt, Jiangcheng was a region with a high frequency of incidents.

But it definitely wasn't just Jiangcheng.

Moen City was the same. When Jennifer and Jack awakened, those mice that made them very troubled also awakened.

It can be seen that many places have many qualified people.

Most of the time, they are independent. But the Great Devouring seems to have changed some kind of structure...

Allowing two vortexes in the same area to start merging.

Albert said:

"My suggestion is to bypass this vortex. Choose other vortexes with data."

Even the safe house cannot analyze the merged vortex.

But there are four other vortexes, and the safe house can provide some information.

Combined with Wen Xishu's association ability, this information is very valuable.

But Albert had already seen Wen Xishu's eager expression:

"Alright, you look like you intend to try this merged version of the vortex."

"I will tell you the information of these two vortexes before they merged."

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Principal, you also said it, you don't like doing things that are too easy. Neither do I."

Albert said:

"One vortex is related to pain. The general information is that pain has become a currency. You need to rely on currency to buy certain things to find the path to leave."

"There is another vortex related to happiness. There are two words in the description of this vortex that left a deep impression on me..."

Albert did not keep him in suspense:

"Human Hole."

"One description is that after a person dies, they will turn into a hole. Entering the hole, no one knows what will happen."

"These two vortexes both have a very strong strange aura."

"Very dangerous. The merged vortex... no one knows to what extent the real level will be raised."

Pain, happiness?

This is truly a very strange combination. Can these two things really merge?

Wen Xishu said:

"Solving this one is equivalent to solving two vortexes, the Great Devouring will end directly, right?"

Albert said:

"Certainly, in fact, solving any one of them should end the Great Devouring."

"But compared to doing just enough, I prefer to over-complete. What if... the disintegration of the Great Devouring also has a score?" Wen Xishu was already preparing to walk out the door.

Albert said:

"Don't plan to bring teammates? I mean, that kind of... person without too many attachments."

Wen Xishu heard it; Albert intended for him to bring cannon fodder.

Albert was not the kind of cruel person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, but now, he recognized Wen Xishu in the bunker.

So deep in his heart, Wen Xishu's life was more valuable than many people's lives.

Letting ordinary people go into the vortex to test mistakes for Wen Xishu... in Albert's view, it was reasonable.

It was as if all the pieces on the chessboard except the old commander had only two missions...

Guard the old commander, kill the king.

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"No, Principal. I will do this mission myself."

Wen Xishu opened the door and walked toward the largest orange vortex after the fusion.

People who had left the safe house also walked in one after another after Wen Xishu left.

Not long after, everyone saw Wen Xishu's figure step into the range of the vortex and be sucked into the vortex.

"Clearly... doing nothing would be fine."

Inside the safe house, many people had such a thought in their hearts.

Albert said:

"From now on, there will be no more Great Devouring."

Evelyn said:

"You should have let me come... to change his thoughts and disintegrate his desire at this moment. That vortex must be very dangerous."

She complained about Albert somewhat.

Evelyn was clear that Wen Xishu's performance had surpassed everyone in the bunker.

Even Old Jin and Albert when they were young.

Such a talent, she also felt it was worth cultivating.

Of course, such a talent would inevitably encounter infighting after the external pressure disappeared.

"Danger is also his own choice. He wants to eat that double-yolk egg, I certainly won't stop him. Just believe in him. Let's go, Evelyn, let's go for a walk in the white vortex."

Albert was also worried about Wen Xishu, but almost everyone, including him, already had a feeling... that this kid was a natural enemy of the Mysterious Tower and was the chosen tower climber.

Mysterious Tower. Unknown level.

A large amount of information began to pour in.

But what was presented in Wen Xishu's mind was a string of garbled characters, as if the Anti-Magic Value was insufficient.

Wen Xishu was still thinking about where he had come to, what kind of place it was, where multiple qualified people existed, and there were situations of mutual fusion or devouring?

But soon, he extracted a few characters he recognized from the pile of garbled text in his mind...

"Damn, actually came to this ghost place. Sure enough, as long as it is here, everything is reasonable..."

"But what level of the Mysterious Tower is this?"

"One Deer Island is 42 floors... although, the one that divides the levels is actually not the region."

Wen Xishu had a headache.

The surrounding space, presented in his eyes, was somewhat fragmented.

The house seemed to be tilted.

He himself was also tilted.

Wherever he looked, they were all garbled characters. This made Wen Xishu even more irritable.

"Anti-Magic Value requirement... exceeded 54 points, no... according to the degree of garbled characters I see, almost 70% are garbled characters, so the Anti-Magic Value requirement here is probably not simply exceeding 54, but significantly exceeding 54."

Wen Xishu didn't expect that his Anti-Magic Value of 54 points would make it very difficult to extract effective information.

"This house... is floating in the air? No wonder it's tilted."

He soon noticed the scene outside the window.

Because the house was tilted, the window was almost facing the ground, and Wen Xishu saw that this house was floating dozens of meters in the air.

"Hujiang, it is indeed a strange city." Wen Xishu calmed his emotions and began to organize his resources.

Yes, this time, the place Wen Xishu came to was a city called Hujiang.

That is, the source of the Deer Island distortion.

According to Wen Xishu's understanding... I'm afraid that in the world after he traveled through, Hujiang, after the end of the world, had various urban legends and various strange creatures that were the best in the world.

"The good news is that the points I threw are not bad. Although the environment is dangerous, the corresponding gains are also high."

Starting to fight the new vortex, Wen Xishu's Inverted Dice naturally had new throwing results.

This time, the Inverted Dice did not bring much combat power improvement to Wen Xishu.

Because the points did not contain the power of the three phases, nor did they contain the second stage.

Wen Xishu could only use the Mysterious Tower's Sequence now. Early in the safe house, Wen Xishu had already changed the Sequence.

Mental Barrage, Nightmare Amnesty, Personality Party.

The remaining Sequence slot, Wen Xishu left for "Three Towers Sequence."

But when he arrived at the Tower of Desire, Wen Xishu would pass through the rest area, and he could change it again by then.

Coincidentally, this time, the points Wen Xishu threw—three, five, six.

The Inverted Dice provided the following options:

Large Number Tendency. (Total points greater than nine, and each die greater than three. The trigger probability of all probability events increases. Regardless of bad luck or good luck.)

Quality Upgrade. Quality Upgrade: (Triggered when the three dice contain two prime numbers. Effect: When settling the completion reward, if there are items or Sequences and facilities, one of them will trigger a quality upgrade, improving the quality grade.)

Unimpeded Passage. (Triggered when the three dice contain at least one six-point. If there are multiple sixes, the number of traversals increases. Effect: You will directly obtain an invitation at the beginning.)

Wen Xishu decisively chose Unimpeded Passage.

In other words, this time, just like the time with Tang Rui...

Wen Xishu had already obtained the invitation at the beginning.

This was also the reason why Wen Xishu felt his luck was not bad.

"No matter what, at least I have the means to escape."

On the other hand, Scorpio's cheat dagger also provided a useful ability this time.

Game function—Pause.

When playing games, you often press the pause button, and the function provided by the dagger this time is the pause button.

It is worth mentioning that the description of the pause is like this:

Time stops, including for the dagger holder, but although the dagger holder cannot act, they can think freely, and the pause time does not occupy any time, including the seven-day total time of tower climbing. However, enabling this function may arouse the disgust of Pisces.

Wen Xishu found it a bit funny when he saw this paragraph.

In the mission of the Inverted Seven Building, Scorpio and Pisces were at odds.

He even had to make a choice—choose Scorpio or choose Pisces.

In the end, Wen Xishu chose Scorpio.

Now it seems that Scorpio and Pisces are truly very much at odds. Pisces's ability is a time-based ability.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but wonder if Pisces had suffered a loss in Scorpio's hands, which led to the dagger actually having such an ability.

He didn't care:

"No matter what, being able to pause gives me enough time to think."

Wen Xishu's attention quickly shifted.

Because he soon discovered one thing—another person suddenly appeared in this room.

A woman standing tilted appeared in a flash, saying with a formulaic smile:

"Warrior, you are awake. Welcome to Human Hole Village. Are you ready to go to the Pain Auction?"
