"Tell Albert, I did have feelings for him."
Wen Xishu waved his hand:
"You'll definitely come back safely."
Evelyn smiled:
"The source of the Destructive is related to Pisces, but I've discovered that many of the zodiac powers... depend on people."
Wen Xishu understood this sentence.
Both Libra and Aquarius have a "power source." These power sources are often the products of twisted rules combined with humans.
He had already felt it in the Deceit Tower and Desire Tower.
He just didn't expect that this was not an isolated case.
"Pisces' ability is related to time, and the source of the Destructive is also a person related to time."
"His spatial abilities are even not inferior to Pisces."
"No, to be precise, Pisces is prominent for spatial abilities, but Pisces doesn't have any significant weaknesses elsewhere. I think it's the same for every zodiac."
Wen Xishu nodded.
Indeed, Sagittarius is powerful, but it doesn't mean without any authority. His authority is enough to make the Bunker have no new entrants reaching the seventieth floor for many years.
The authority of Libra is considerable, the scales of life and death are difficult to decipher, but Libra's own strength also far surpasses many in the Red House.
It's safe to say that even the weakest, like Sirius and Phoenix, have formidable inner strength.
"But Pisces' most prominent spatial ability seems not as strong as the source of the Destructive."
"I found out one thing, his most destructive act wasn't in the Three-Tower World, but in the Bunker."
"But what exactly that is, no one knows."
"He's always lost in his temporal powers, his mind is quite hazy. In other words, his nature isn't destructive."
"But under the influence of Pisces, his power begins to radiate, affecting many in the Desire Tower, turning these people into Destructive."
Wen Xishu asked:
"Why does Pisces do this?"
Evelyn thought for a moment, then said:
"This is my hypothesis."
"Pisces' ability is to observe the future. Actually, a lot of the time, we can also infer some future based on common sense."
"For instance, if someone has a happy childhood, they may grow up to heal others."
"Of course, this isn't absolute, and many unexpected events can occur, but even so, within the larger trend, predictions can be made."
Wen Xishu nodded.
Life is full of the unpredictable, but history carries a certain inertia and trend.
"So, regarding the speculation about the future, everyone can make some judgments."
"But if… the past is infinitely overturned, then predicting the future becomes a unique ability of someone."
"Based on the information you provided earlier, they desire to become a god, so who is most likely to become a god in the future, and how to prevent this from happening…"
"Just because of the existence of the Destructive, it becomes difficult to predict."
Wen Xishu roughly understood.
Evelyn indeed brought very important intelligence, not the speculation about the power source of Pisces.
But rather the notion of a progenitor of the Destructive, just like once the progenitor of vampires dies, the vampires beneath him will perish.
Once the source of the Destructive is killed, surely the Destructive will disappear as well.
We must continue ascending the tower, climb to the ninetieth floor!
"Mirror, do your best to stay on the same wavelength as Dean Wen, if in the future you have the opportunity to battle the Desire Tower together, you can assist Dean Wen." Evelyn advised.
Actually, these words almost subtly indicated that in the master's eyes, her disciple wasn't as good as others.
But Wenren Mirror is truly a great person; he held no jealousy, only keeping Evelyn's words in mind:
"I will often consult with Dean Wen."
Wen Xishu thought to himself, don't be like this, seniors, with such a low posture, I really feel a bit embarrassed.
Then Evelyn chatted a bit about other levels of the Desire Tower.
Wen Xishu took everything down as information; he and Wenren Mirror both had great knowledge and memory.
Wen Xishu increasingly felt that Evelyn was shining brightly, sharing all the things that could help those who followed unreservedly.
But Wenren Mirror didn't think so; he had absolute confidence in his master.
...
...
The conversation in the Garden Forbidden Land of the Desire Tower ended quickly, and Wenren Mirror returned to the Wenren Family, preparing for the next tower climb.
But Wen Xishu didn't separate from Evelyn.
"I'm taking you somewhere, Dean Wen."
"Actually, you can just call me Little Tree." Wen Xishu said with a smile.
He followed Evelyn to the highest floor of the Bunker.
Returning to Mr. Jin's Healing House, Wen Xishu felt a bit puzzled.
Evelyn then said:
"My upcoming journey should be like yours, continuous and uninterrupted. I also want to test if climbing the tower frantically will help me, this old person, find some sense of existence."
"Mirror doesn't understand, because my Sequence Power gives him a blind feeling of reverence towards me."
Wen Xishu wasn't sure how to respond, after thinking for a moment, he said:
"I've always thought… climbing the tower shouldn't be done with a reckless, fearless mindset."
"Actually, every time I climb the tower and face danger, I'm quite good at enduring and pretending, just to survive."
Evelyn laughed:
"I know you're telling the truth, I'm like that too. But sometimes, the danger can still exceed imagination."
"Little Tree, don't worry about me, I'm not unafraid of death. I just think I should consider this possibility."
"So, before I start climbing, I will do my best to handle certain matters."
"That's also why I brought you here this time."
Wen Xishu had guessed who would be in this Healing House.
"His emotions have calmed down, his nature is pretty much the same as before, but he seems more steady now. I think I've managed to make him ready to climb the tower again."
"But now he's caught in self-denial, like us, he's full of confusion, perhaps even more so."
"He remembered a lot of things, including the assassination attempt on you, which is also why he's afraid to go out."
"I think you're considered his friend, and in the future, you're likely to be the most important person in the Bunker, so why don't you try to enlighten him a bit."
"His potential is very strong, who knows… our kind gestures now might have a huge impact on the future."
Wen Xishu nodded.
No doubt, once Evelyn decided to enter the Desire Tower for a long time, she intended to handle things in the Bunker first.
There's something that Evelyn has always been doing and only she can do.
And that's to make Xiaojin become the person he should be. The Healing House used to belong to Old Jin.
Now, only Xiaojin can enter.
Wen Xishu nodded:
"I'll go see him."
Evelyn said:
"Then I'll be heading off."
Wen Xishu saw Evelyn suddenly revealing the login device on her wrist.
He was a bit surprised:
"The old principal should be back soon, aren't you going to talk to him?"
Evelyn shook her head:
"He's a Martial Fool, I have no idea how long he'll take to return. See you next time."
Wen Xishu stayed where he was.
It wasn't until much later, when he was finally alone, that he realized he still had things to do.
"May things go smoothly, Evelyn."
He silently prayed in his heart as he walked deeper into the Healing House.
The Healing House was dimly lit.
Where Old Jin used to kneel, now stood a young figure.
"Brother Shu?"
Xiaojin's voice came, a bit dispirited.
He seemed unsure of how to face Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu said, "Xiaojin, it's me. Why didn't you come out earlier once you were okay?"
Wen Xishu sat down next to Xiaojin with ease.
Xiaojin looked at Wen Xishu, head lowered like a child who had done something wrong:
"I… I'm sorry, Brother Shu, I… I don't know what came over me at that time. I almost killed you!"
Wen Xishu laughed:
"Hahaha, Xiaojin, do you know what level of person your Brother Shu is now?"
"Don't flatter yourself, after the Great Devour, my fame is quite high."
"If you want to kill me, you'd need more practice!"
Wen Xishu laughed heartily like Albert, genuinely and magnanimously.
This made Xiaojin feel a bit better inside:
"You... you don't blame me?"
"We are friends, and your grandfather was a pioneer of the Bunker, Xiaojin, I can't blame you, especially knowing that you were quite lost back then."
"But now, shouldn't you tell me the secret about you?"
Wen Xishu patted Xiaojin's shoulder, and Xiaojin seemed to return to the posture before everything happened not long ago.
He nostalgically remembered the life in the dormitory of the Slaughter Tower Academy.
He smiled, his smile turning bright again:
"Brother Shu, you are really amazing!"
Wen Xishu said:
"This place is too dark, why don't we go somewhere else to chat? I think Nissen and Yue Yun would also love to see you."
