Wen Xishu gradually calmed down.
Facing the brink of life and death, he could only fight.
He showed a smile:
"Although we've worked together, I've never seen your true form, didn't expect it to be like this."
"So different from that kid in the blue suit, and compared to that trendy guy in the maroon jacket who looked kind of tacky... your style is really..."
"Impressive!"
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and came up with the word, though the first word in his mind was - juvenile.
But he feared that saying it might lead to death.
While speaking, Wen Xishu was constantly thinking.
First—
Many of his cards had been revealed, which meant it was clearly not feasible to dissociate from other star signs.
Secondly, when he met Scorpio initially, Scorpio could see where he came from...
Then surely Leo could as well. Even on this timeline...
This is before the apocalypse arrives.
Cannot hide identity, but also cannot be completely honest.
After all, as strong as Albert is, he wouldn't simultaneously carry items from Taurus, Libra, Scorpio, and Phoenix.
Especially when Sagittarius instantly saw his Sequence Spiritual Bullet Screen.
Thus, Leo must be presumed to have even greater abilities.
Hence, must pique the other's interest.
"Oh, my name is Wen Xishu, from the Bunker."
Wen Xishu slightly bowed, expressing respect to Leo.
Leo replied:
"You said you and I have worked together?"
"Of course, in the future you will contend with a certain star sign, you will have a special confrontation, and I act as one of your pawns, but sorry, I can't tell you too much, if you alter this causality, I would lose my value." Wen Xishu said.
Leo snorted contemptuously through his nose:
"Hum, you even know information about the future?"
Wen Xishu wasn't upset by Leon's disdain; he calmly stated:
"Pisces can be considered my employer. Even though it's at odds with Scorpio."
Leo's gaze sharpened:
"You have no Pisces items on you."
"For one who controls time and space, information is the tool." Wen Xishu said without arrogance or inferiority.
He promptly added a question:
"Oh, Leon, may I venture to ask you a question?"
Approach, foster closeness, even attempt to gain initiative in front of Leo.
Sometimes, the more dangerous moves you make, the more the other believes you might actually have something.
Leon said:
"Speak."
Wen Xishu smiled:
"I have always been curious about Sequences. Is your ability from a Sequence? I mean, you can easily take my items."
"These are my means of survival, if possible, could you return them?"
Wen Xishu felt like requesting treasure from a greedy dragon in its lair.
Of course, he was betting Leon wouldn't bother taking these things.
Leon simply snapped his fingers, considered a response to Wen Xishu.
This response released many signals.
At this moment, Wen Xishu's mind was filled with a Sequence information.
Three Tower Sequence 34 · King's Armored Disarmament.
The effect of this Sequence is simple, in front of the Sequence holder, others' items can be stripped away by the Sequence holder, even if hidden in a different space.
However, cannot strip away the opponent's top two rarest items.
After seeing this, Wen Xishu understood.
So that's how it is, meaning, Compass, gloves, Scorpion Knife, the Horn of Competition, the Scale of Chaos...
Surprisingly, none of these are among the top two rarest on him.
Also, Leon was willing to divulge this information, seemingly eliminating the intent to kill for now.
His act was successful.
"The Bunker, did not expect it to truly thrive. Are you considered a traitor of the Bunker?"
Hm, this is a reading comprehension question, and also a test of his knowledge of the Three Towers and Bunker after exploring them for so long.
Wen Xishu decisively shook his head:
"No, Lord Leon, Bunker People and you gods with the names of star signs are not enemies, are they?"
"I cannot understand the intentions of you all, but I know, you desire to end the apocalypse."
"It's just that the means you use differ."
"Humans are the same, desiring to end the apocalypse. Bunker People exploring the Three Towers to a certain extent, inevitably cannot bypass the gods."
"Too weak to be your enemies. And if that were truly the case..."
"Facing you, the future for us would be too bleak, forging alliances, aiding each other, exploring the truth of the apocalypse, finding the real reason for this Tower power sweeping the world, that's what our Bunker People must do, right?"
Wen Xishu hadn't finished speaking:
"Even though in the exploration process, we all face misunderstood destinies, like I know, Lord Leon, your constant battles are not meaningless wars. You enjoy conquest, but each conquest's true essence also transcends personal joy."
"Therefore, our Bunker People's exploration is not meaningless history alteration. You are pioneers; we are fixers."
Flattery that never fails.
Wen Xishu was like the martial arts-less Wei Xiaobao, encountering various martial artists, in such situations, naturally learning to praise.
Even conquerors like Leo, Leon, enjoyed such words.
Moreover, Wen Xishu's interpretation of Bunker explorers and star sign relationships was not entirely baseless.
In his view, utilizing star signs, being utilized by star signs, both are feasible, as long as ultimately the truth is approached.
He had always been doing this.
