Chapter 46: The Avenger

Wen Xishu decided to use the invitation letter.

When he touched the invitation letter, he received this prompt.

【Affected by special power, the invitation letter can be used three times consecutively. One complete shuttle is considered one time.】

【Due to the invitation letter's effect, even if the target fails to complete the mission in the Tower of Desire in the first two times, it will not be counted as a failure.】

【The final calculation result is based on the last shuttle.】

【If the three shuttles are not used, they cannot be accumulated to the next tower ascension.】

The explanation was quite detailed, and Wen Xishu began to think about how to use it. Three chances, at least they could correspond to the items in three rooms.

However, Wen Xishu felt that if all three were used up, it would be too inefficient. He thought it would be best for him to solve all doubts within two shuttles and strive for another Level 6 completion.

In this way, returning to the bunker would again trigger a significant chemical reaction.

"When climbing the bookshelf just now, I touched many items and found that some items contain a small amount of sin aura, and some items have a massive amount of sin aura..."

"According to this clue, if you search slowly, you can actually purify this room."

"But I cannot assume that time is sufficient; I cannot assume that this is only the sixth floor, so I can easily obtain item information."

"And it is worth noting that when the anti-AFK check is triggered, you will hear that greasy and disgusting prompt."

"That prompt, on one hand, helps me infer the development of the game plot, and on the other hand, after reaching a certain stage, perhaps clues can be obtained."

Even without using the invitation letter, Wen Xishu was certain that he could definitely find the real pollutant that needed to be purified based on some clues.

But there was no need; since the invitation letter could be used three times, he decided to use it.

But at this moment, Park Meixi had already begun to tell about Zheng Zai's father's affairs.

"A-level cadre of the Third Bureau of the Administrative Bureau, Director Zheng Yi... is your father him?"

Zheng Zai nodded in surprise.

Park Meixi now assumed that Wen Xishu wanted to win over Zheng Zai, so she was also willing to please him.

"It's a pity, your father has... died."

Zheng Zai shook his head desperately:

"Impossible, my dad clearly didn't have a death sentence! He said, he had a backer..."

Park Meixi sighed:

"A backer? Do you know that as long as your dad is alive, his backer cannot be at ease."

"The bunker has Level 4 facility prisons, as well as Level 3 building prisons."

"Among them, the Level 4 facility prison is used to detain serious criminals and... former cadres."

"The prisoners in the Level 4 facility basically cannot come out. Therefore, what is done to the prisoners and how they are handled is actually up to the warden."

"I happen to know someone in the prison department."

Simply put, Park Meixi had slept with the warden.

Wen Xishu looked at Zheng Zai, wanting to know what kind of expression this guy would have when suddenly facing a life-shattering tragedy.

Zheng Zai held his head:

"It won't be... it won't be, he said it, he said he would come out."

Park Meixi said:

"I hope what I know is fake, but I cannot lie to you. In fact... I think it's incredible that you could survive without being implicated."

"Your father loved you very much... he must have paid a huge price for this."

Park Meixi felt a bit unbearable. Whether it was fake or not, she looked at least very heartbroken for Zheng Zai now.

Bloodshot eyes gradually appeared in Zheng Zai's eyes. Those unbearable pasts began to surface.

His gaze slowly showed some anger from the initial clarity and panic.

"Ten years ago, the bunker's first sports center appeared, and the bunker established the Culture and Sports Bureau."

"At that time, I was thinking, maybe as long as I could become an athlete, maybe I could... reduce some political sins."

"At least, at least let me obtain a fair environment."

"My arms are very long, so I chose the javelin competition."

"The first year, I got 14th place. And the top ten were all promoted on posters and received quite a few supplies... even allocations for Tower of Desire quotas."

"I was greatly encouraged; I thought... maybe if I worked hard enough, if I became a sensational athlete, reporters would dig into my past and find my father."

"My father, he really isn't a bad person."

"The second year, I was 9th. I finally entered the top ten, but this year, the focus was on the top six."

"I only hated myself for not working hard enough, so I began to practice bitterly; in the third year, I became 4th."

"Heh, but this time, the ones focused on and specially cared for were the top three."

"How I hated my weakness. That year, I kept saying, Zheng Zai, if you had worked a little harder, someone would care about Dad's affairs."

"The fourth year, I got 2nd place; the 1st place was a black man from the bunker..."

"And this year, only the 1st place was reported; he occupied all the rewards and publicity."

"I knew, it still wasn't enough, it still wasn't enough... the road to saving my father was still very long."

"The fifth year, I took 1st place with absolute crushing force; I broke all the records of the previous years."

"I thought, it should finally be my turn, right..."

"But it wasn't, it wasn't! It wasn't!"

Zheng Zai began to beat the floor frantically:

"These bastards just took a group photo of the athletes who had been specially cared for in the past, and used the sentence 'this year's javelin competition is also equally exciting'... to gloss over it."

"I finally understood; it turns out there is an invisible mountain in this world, specifically blocking children of criminals like me. For every step I climb, the mountain rises two steps."

"When I worked hard for five years, thinking I could finally see the light... I discovered that everything at the top was even darker."

Wen Xishu actually didn't care much about others' misery.

But he was inexplicably moved.

Would his constant exploration of the Mysterious Tower eventually lead to the same end?

The Bunker Security Bureau wouldn't be grateful to him; Wen Xishu actually knew this point.

Perhaps one day, after his value and secrets were squeezed dry, the Bunker Security Bureau would kill the donkey after the grinding.

He even knew very clearly that this wasn't "perhaps," this was inevitable.

After all, Wen Zhaohua's crimes were far greater than Zheng Zai's father's.

"But I am not reconciled. I am still working hard, I began to ascend the tower; I thought as long as I could bring out quite a few supplies, I would be remembered by the bunker."

"The appearance of Wen Xishu..."

Zheng Zai glanced at Wen Xishu; he still believed in Wen Xishu, believing that the Wen Xishu in front of him was just a namesake of that bunker legend, Wen Xishu.

"I mean, that Wen Xishu who saved countless people in the bunker gave me hope."

"I thought... I should explore the Mysterious Tower."

Zheng Zai's fists already had blood stains.

"I have already... I can even give up my life. In the process of exploring the Mysterious Tower last time, I even contracted a strange disease."

"I became neither human nor ghost, bloodthirsty and irritable; in the bunker, I was afraid my bloodthirsty desire would come up, so I blocked my mouth with an iron muzzle. I have already paid a lot!!"

Zheng Zai raised his head, his eyes full of rage and ferocity:

"But why! Why did he still die? What is the meaning of everything I have done?"

"Is there any fairness and justice left in this bunker?"

Wen Xishu saw the flames of destruction. It was a kind of madness that seemed to want to destroy the entire world.

He could imagine that if Jack's mother had died back then, Jack would also constantly ask why.

But no one would respond to his questioning.

Wen Xishu liked this kind of gaze very much; he suddenly decided to keep Zheng Zai.

No matter how good he had performed toward Zheng Zai before, Wen Xishu had thought about killing him in the end.

Because he couldn't afford any risk of exposing his secret.

But now, Wen Xishu changed his mind; he saw the barrage that only he could see.

That was a dense barrage, the ultimate extreme emotion.

【I want revenge! I want revenge! I want revenge!】

A series of dense barrages passed through Wen Xishu's vision like an army of thousands.

Wen Xishu had to admit, if Zheng Zai wasn't a bunker person, but a Three Towers person...

Presumably, this experience would have to be a Slaughter Tower boss-level player, right?

After listening to Zheng Zai's past, Wen Xishu didn't delay anymore and activated the invitation letter, preparing to head to the Tower of Desire.

"See you later, you two," Wen Xishu muttered to himself.

At this moment, time suddenly stopped.

Park Meixi and Zheng Zai, who were still talking, were frozen by the eerie energy.
