Chapter 245

The next morning.

William William Huokena's efficiency was very high; he had already drafted various contracts. Wen Wen Xishu didn't pay attention to the details; he didn't care.

So he let the Academy Spirit be responsible for signing.

In the Bunker, William Huokena knew very well the price of daring to defraud Wen Wen Xishu, so he was also very sincere.

Wen Wen Xishu himself, early in the morning, accompanied Albert to the highest level of the Bunker.

The seventeenth floor.

Along with them were Evelyn and several other elders.

William Gedeng, Liu Liu Zhizai, Ma Xiu Qiongsi, Luo Feng.

These people also heard that Mr. Jin had finally entered seclusion and decided to tell everyone some things, so they thought of going together.

Wen Wen Xishu was the youngest in terms of seniority among them, appearing somewhat out of place—theoretically, that was the case.

But in reality, Albert and Wen Wen Xishu were chatting enthusiastically; the two were unfolding various deductions there, appearing very excited.

Evelyn could occasionally pick up a few sentences.

The other few elders were silent like spectators.

Fortunately, there weren't many buildings on the seventeenth floor, and soon the group arrived at the door of the "Healing House" where Old Jin was located.

This time, the door was open.

The light inside the Healing House was very dim, but for a group of people whose levels had passed the ninetieth floor, it had no effect at all.

Albert walked at the very front, walking toward the depths of the Healing House.

The various facilities displayed in the room hadn't changed at all, appearing spotless.

In the deepest part was a Zen room.

Several candles lit up the Zen room, and Mr. Jin's back was slightly distorted under the flickering candlelight.

Mr. Jin was very young.

Younger than Wen Wen Xishu had imagined; no wonder when he heard Mr. Jin's voice that day, he felt it would be younger than Albert's.

Although he hadn't seen Mr. Jin's face yet, Wen Wen Xishu sat relatively to the side, Albert sat in the middle, and Wen Wen Xishu was on the edge; from this angle, he could see Mr. Jin's side profile, and he could also imagine the handsomeness of Mr. Jin when he was young, perhaps only a little weaker than Wen Wen Renjing...

He was a dashing and handsome man, very masculine; Wen Wen Renjing was slightly feminine.

Mr. Jin's hair was slightly long, and from the side profile, his skin condition was like that of a middle-aged person around forty.

He smiled:

"Albert, and you all... it's been a while since we met, right? Seeing you all again is truly satisfying."

Mr. Jin was kneeling on a cushion, not knocking on a wooden fish, but twisting Buddhist beads in his hand.

His smile could actually make the room seem a bit brighter.

The other few elders didn't speak, their attitude toward Mr. Jin being extremely respectful.

Albert was relatively excited; his old friend's attitude today was something that hadn't happened in decades.

He was very satisfied with this point.

"Today, Old Jin, you should make everything clear to us."

Mr. Jin shook his head slightly:

"I just wanted to see you all. Albert... you are still so young."

The Old Principal was naturally not young anymore; at least compared to Mr. Jin, he looked quite aged.

What Mr. Jin said, however, was not his actual age; he turned around.

The white practice suit on his body was worn by Mr. Jin with a feeling of immortality, stemming from his appearance and pupils.

He looked at Albert head-on in a sitting posture, then his gaze swept over the other elders one by one, and finally smiled at Wen Wen Xishu as well, with a sense of admiration in his eyes.

The other few elders, seeing their former master, all had the idea of kneeling and bowing, but Mr. Jin stopped them with his eyes.

Evelyn wasn't quite there, but she was also obviously a bit excited. Wen Wen Xishu could see...

Decades ago, among Albert and Mr. Jin, Evelyn definitely favored Mr. Jin more.

After a while, Mr. Jin said:

"If this world could give eternal life to someone like you, perhaps even the gods would be afraid?"

Albert waved his hand:

"Let's talk about business; your temperament is quite unstable; sometimes you are incredibly negative, sometimes you are like a riddle-maker; it's rare that you are in the mood today, tell me, I have too many things to ask you."

Mr. Jin said:

"Speak freely, I cannot tell you everything; I must bear my own karma."

Albert scolded:

"Bullshit, although at first, you were always the target I was chasing, but Old Jin, you might not be able to beat me now."

Mr. Jin deeply agreed with this:

"I am no longer your opponent, Albert; having you in the Bunker is the Bunker's luck. It is also the luck of the human lineage."

Admitting it too frankly made Albert suddenly not know how to speak; he restrained his emotions a bit:

"Old Jin, you have to believe me, I have been getting stronger; no matter what kind of existence you are facing, if we join forces... we might not be unable to defeat them."

Mr. Jin smiled again:

"I am not as good as you, Albert; I walked into a wrong path, so naturally I have to pay the price for the wrong path. Albert, your fist can punch through fate, but fate to me is an unbreakable barrier."

Albert really wanted to spit like spitting out water, but considering Old Jin loved cleanliness, he just pursed his lips:

"Riddle-maker again."

Mr. Jin said apologetically:

"My enemies, and even the enemies of Xun Hui and Wen Wen Renjing in the future, as well as you, little friend. The enemies of the three of you are all Sagittarius."

"This is also the reason I asked you all to come."

Wen Wen Xishu sat upright, thinking the main event was coming soon.

Mr. Jin also looked at Wen Wen Xishu:

"You have already come into contact with some of my old friends, right? Truly amazing; it is truly too lucky for the Bunker to have a younger generation like you."

"You few, help each other out more in the future."

Liu Liu Zhizai lowered his head; at this time, he was truly afraid that his little thoughts would be pointed out by Wen Wen Xishu or Albert.

But Wen Wen Xishu didn't take it to heart at all; in Wen Wen Xishu's view, things like Gongben offering a sword were things he wished happened every day.

Mr. Jin saw it at a glance:

"Liu Zhizai, stand more from the perspective of the Bunker's overall situation, understand?"

Liu Liu Zhizai kowtowed to Mr. Jin to admit his mistake.

Then Mr. Jin said:

"Strictly speaking, I am no longer a Bunker person... if I return to the Slaughter Tower, Albert, I will be forcibly taken away by Capricorn."

"For these years, I have been escaping."

"Perhaps I will escape later too, but these days, I am truly surprised that someone came into contact with my past and someone saw through my thoughts."

"The new younger generation is truly excellent; I cannot let them go to their deaths."

"There are three ways to dismantle Sagittarius's means."

Albert urged:

"Don't pause, speak quickly."

Mr. Jin said:

"The first is the inferior strategy, which is to face or avoid Sagittarius's attack on the seventieth floor. But this is very difficult; although there is a theoretical possibility, it is truly very difficult."

"Sagittarius's attack contains the power of karma and cannot be avoided."

"But if you withstand it, you will be unimpeded in the future; Sagittarius only shoots to kill once. Unless that person, like me, stays in a place where they shouldn't stay."

Wen Wen Xishu smiled, but couldn't help but say "mmp" in his heart.

Me? Face Sagittarius's arrow head-on?

Even if it were Xun Hui, who could open "No-Self," in Wen Wen Xishu's view, he would be shot through by an arrow containing the power of karma, right?

Albert shook his head:

"Not really; the three of them... even if they are kneaded together, it is difficult to resist a blow from a constellation."

"Not to mention Sagittarius sounds like they don't do anything else and specifically practice this blow."

Although the Old Principal hadn't fought Sagittarius, he also knew that these constellations were stronger than him.

At the very least, Sagittarius's arrow was much stronger than his punch.

And now, even if Xun Hui's body was several times harder, he couldn't withstand his punch.

Wen Wen Xishu was thinking, if he didn't use the "Three Highs," didn't skip levels... climbed the Mysterious Tower one step at a time, and climbed to the seventieth floor, would it be possible that by that time, the cards in his hand were already enough to contend with Sagittarius?

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

Wen Wen Xishu pondered Mr. Jin's words again... Sagittarius only shoots to kill once, unless that person stays in a place where they shouldn't stay.

He felt a bit horrified.

That old man selling tea, who found him several times... was he trying to mark him? Was he trying to make him think that he didn't originally belong here?

Mr. Jin's words interrupted Wen Wen Xishu's thinking.

"The second is the middle strategy, which is... Albert, Liu Zhizai, Xiao Feng, Ma Xiu, William, Evelyn, you all can join forces to break through the hundredth floor."

"I am skeptical about the saying of breaking the boundary on the hundredth floor."

"But the hundredth floor is truly very special. Perhaps there really will be a way to face the constellations directly, and thus naturally the threat of Sagittarius can be resolved."

Albert sighed:

"If that were truly possible, I would naturally be willing to strive for it, but Old Jin, it's not that I look down on them... they really can't do it."

"You few, how many years have you not climbed the tower?"

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

Mr. Jin sighed: "You... are all weary."

Luo Feng said:

"You are no longer willing to lead us, and we... are indeed not on the same path as Albert, and there are so many things in the Bunker to deal with."

Albert mocked:

"So the Bunker has been governed very well by you? Do you want me to tell Old Jin how you handled the epidemic three months ago?"

Luo Feng shut up.

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

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

Albert said:

"Decades ago, they were not as good as me; now I have worked hard for decades, and I have only reached the ninety-seventh floor; you want me to break through the ninety-ninth floor and reach the hundredth floor with them."

"I have to borrow five hundred years from heaven? Heh, just the few of them, they might not be able to break through to the ninety-sixth floor in five hundred years."

This sarcasm didn't give Old Jin any face, but Albert was just like that. He was already dissatisfied with Old Jin dragging these few guys and forcibly crossing the ninetieth floor back then.

And in terms of talent, Albert was indeed the Bunker's number one person.

Mr. Jin understood now.

For decades, the few elders had made no progress at all. Because of the Sagittarius constellation, the Bunker also had no successors...

In a sense, the Sagittarius constellation even consolidated the rule of the few elders.

The expression on Mr. Jin's face changed, and he smiled again:

"Then the middle strategy is not feasible, but fortunately, we still have the superior strategy. The superior strategy is one that will definitely bring a path for the children to pass through the seventieth floor."

Albert said:

"What is the superior strategy?"

But Mr. Jin suddenly stopped talking. He just smiled:

"Little friend Wen Wen Xishu, you stay; Albert, Evelyn, and you all, my old friends, you should leave."

Albert was stunned; this old man looked at Wen Wen Xishu for the first time, with an expression of disbelief:

"He stays? I leave?"

Wen Wen Xishu also didn't expect Mr. Jin to arrange it this way.

Mr. Jin said:

"His amount of information is more sufficient than yours; regarding my past, he might know more than you; although you understand the weaknesses of various powerful opponents, Albert, the things I am about to talk about next, only he knows."

Wen Wen Xishu was actually thinking, would there be danger in this?

Could it be that Mr. Jin knew about him having the Heart of Fusion?

But that didn't seem right...

In the Bunker, Mr. Jin wouldn't kill him, right?

He pondered for a long time and felt that the words Mr. Jin was about to say probably couldn't be told to the Old Principal.

Albert was very unwilling, looking at Wen Wen Xishu for a while, his expression as if saying, I clearly have the best relationship with Old Jin, how did it become me going out. Looking at Old Jin for a while, you tell my disciple, but don't tell me?

The old man's expression at this time made Evelyn want to laugh. Indeed, Albert was still very young; she understood this sentence even more.

The group finally followed Old Jin's arrangement and left the Healing House.

When only Wen Wen Xishu was left, Mr. Jin said slowly:

"Have you guessed what the superior strategy is?"

Wen Wen Xishu pondered for a while, thinking about why Mr. Jin wanted to drive away the Principal and the others, and he seemed to understand.

His expression became solemn:

"Let those who don't belong here return to the place where they should belong?"

Mr. Jin smiled:

"Yes, let those who don't belong here return to the place where they should belong."

"I no longer belong to the Bunker; because I am in the Bunker, the karma of Sagittarius flowed toward the Bunker."

"But as long as I go back, through the login device, head to the Three Towers, and finally enter the Three Towers battlefield, everything will return to its place and get back on track."

Wen Wen Xishu suddenly remembered what Mr. Jin said at the beginning—I just wanted to see you all.

He realized it; this sounded like parting words.

"You... are going to leave the Bunker??"

Mr. Jin smiled and corrected:

"Not leaving, but returning."

Wen Wen Xishu didn't expect to encounter such a big thing today. Because of Mr. Jin's low profile, many people didn't know him.

But if Mr. Jin really left the Bunker...

Then this could be considered a moment recorded in history, right?

Mr. Jin said:

"I once thought, since there is no one more excellent than me, since Albert is more excellent than me, and Liu Zhizai, Xiao Feng, and others were all brought into the ninetieth floor by me, even if the threat of Sagittarius lies between the seventieth and seventy-fifth floors, it doesn't matter."

"I must live; my value is higher than theirs."

"But now that I think about it, I was truly arrogant."

"Fortunately, you are very excellent; you discovered many things before stepping into the seventieth floor. So you didn't let me make a big mistake."

"Wen Wen Xishu, now it's time for an old man from the previous era like me to pave the way for you young people."

Wen Wen Xishu was moved; his thoughts were in turmoil for a moment, not knowing what to say.

But Mr. Jin was very magnanimous and generous; he said:

"I know you still have many doubts, and you are also curious about who I am; actually, I am the same; I am also very curious, to what step you have explored the plan for Whatever Longxia..."

"You have already seen several of those five children. Do you know the whereabouts of all of them?"
