Wen Xishu was not accustomed to asking unnecessary questions.
"Is your birth different from others?" Albert asked.
Wen Xishu shook his head—the fact that he was a Transmigrator was something not suitable to tell Albert for the time being.
He thought for a moment and said:
"I just want to understand what really happened at that time."
Albert didn't answer immediately, instead directly asking:
"What did you see at the Wen Family's Old Mansion?"
Wen Xishu did not hide this:
"At the Wen Family's Old Mansion... some things appeared that were supposed to only appear in the Academy area."
"The opening of the Deceit Tower Academy requires an Anti-Magic Value. An Anti-Magic Value above fifty is sufficient."
"But do you know, my Anti-Magic Value is now 120, yet until now, I have not fully unlocked the secrets."
"But my brother's breakthrough should not be higher than mine in the Deceit Tower, right? His Anti-Magic Value should logically be far below mine, otherwise, he would have solved the secrets of the Deceit Tower Academy early."
"But strangely, he was able to leave behind puzzles that I can't solve even now."
Albert nodded, now it was reasonable. He smiled and said:
"Do you think the difficulty of the Deceit Tower aligns with the level gradient?"
Wen Xishu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"It does not align. For me, the most challenging trial should be around the forty-plus levels."
Albert said:
"So, it's quite normal for Chaohua to achieve some things at lower levels."
"He once said that all answers are in the Deceit Tower."
"We once discussed the Three Towers. You have many stages in your understanding of the Deceit Tower. Now I ask you again, what do you think the Deceit Tower is?"
Wen Xishu said:
"It is endless obsession."
Albert said:
"Then what about the tower's power?"
Wen Xishu immediately said:
"It is something that can materialize obsession."
Albert asked again:
"So what does endless obsession appearing where the tower power exists signify?"
Wen Xishu realized that although the old principal did not climb the Deceit Tower, he solved problems like a sharp sword.
Wen Xishu instantly understood.
It means... one can obtain everything.
At this moment, Wen Xishu and Albert both had a more fitting understanding of Wen Chaohua's saying "The Deceit Tower is everything."
"The arrival of the apocalypse made countless people birth obsessions in tragedy, these obsessions became barriers for us humans still alive today."
"But correspondingly, they became the treasure trove for us to grow stronger."
"The Deceit Tower arrived later than the Slaughter Tower and Desire Tower, possibly because... there is a powerful entity, perhaps even surpassing the constellations, that doesn't want the Deceit Tower to descend."
"Because these obsessions materialized by tower power might contain infinite possibilities."
"The Deceit Tower is everything. Chaohua found the answers there, gained enlightenment. Or had an unimaginable encounter."
"Perhaps you know what this encounter was, but you didn't tell me, so I won't ask."
"As for your question, I cannot answer it. I'm sorry. When you were born, and after you went to prison, there were no anomalies."
"At least to me, everything seemed normal."
Wen Xishu was still somewhat regretful; he had waited several days for the old principal just to clarify this matter.
But the old principal didn't know either.
This shows that the cooperation between Gemini and his brother, or a certain scheme against his brother, was executed very successfully.
He sighed:
"It seems, it's still not enough."
Albert said:
"Yes, it's not enough. You still need to continue climbing the tower, and so do I."
Wen Xishu said:
"Alright, thank you, Principal. I will go prepare, hopefully this time I can stay in the tower longer. Hope to return in time for the auction."
Albert said:
"Is your Profound Meaning resolved? Also, you seem to have a... somewhat unsettling aura?"
Wen Xishu was taken aback:
"I'm not sure if you mean the negative effects of the sequence on me... or this."
Wen Xishu uncovered his clothes, revealing his brand.
Lion Heart Brand.
Albert looked at this brand, showing interest:
"If I'm not mistaken, this is left by the Leo constellation on you?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, I encountered Leo."
Albert said:
"Is he very strong?"
Wen Xishu said:
"I haven't seen him take action, but he should be exceptionally powerful."
In this world, there are characters who can be overlooked, such as a certain Commander-in-Chief or a certain Thunderbolt Hand...
But if the style is as dazzlingly golden as Leo, there is no doubt, it is absolutely impossible to overlook such a strong presence.
Albert laughed:
"He actually didn't make things difficult for you? It seems he knows nothing. He is unclear about your connections with other constellations."
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"No, you guessed wrong about that. He might be pretending to be oblivious."
"Leon initially scrutinized all the items related to constellations in my possession, then nonchalantly returned them."
"Perhaps my lie deceived him, but also perhaps, he simply doesn't care."
"The impression he gives me is very pure. Surprisingly, he has some resemblance to you."
Albert said:
"Then I'm truly curious. I hope that when the day comes for me to face him, this body will be at its peak state."
"Alright, this is as far as we go. Sorry I didn't give you an answer."
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Every time I speak with you, I gain something. I should head to the Deceit Tower now; I've been suffocated these days."
Albert's hearty laughter echoed.
...
...
The Three Towers Academy remained lively.
Currently, in the Bunker, everyone was in a state of excitement, a kind of high-spirited excitement.
