"This is a good start. I suddenly understand why the strongest version of you would choose to give up."
"Because in his world, there’s no such possibility. In his world, all those significant and insignificant people are pretty much dead."
"He might never have imagined that someone as unremarkable as Wen Xiangge, who achieved nothing in climbing towers, could also do remarkable things."
"And there are countless such people in the bunker, countless such people whose hearts stand with us."
Albert sighed deeply. He was a lonely traveler.
He thought that on this path, at most, there was only Wen Xishu and Jin Zhenyuan as companions.
But now, he realized this wasn’t the case. Perhaps on this path, there are many others; they don’t walk fast, but they keep moving steadily.
...
...
The seventh day.
Almi successfully returned to Hunter City. Almi promised to return to the bunker in the shortest possible intervals in the future.
Zheng’s side, Albert had already arranged people to keep an eye on.
Wen Xishu wasn’t sure if Hunter City, like the bunker, allowed for immediate activation of the login device upon returning to the bunker, seamlessly starting the next climb.
For now, Wen Xishu still had some matters to handle.
He rarely stayed in the bunker for such a long time.
At this moment, Wen Xishu had already reached the Wen Family’s Old Mansion.
There were still guards stationed outside the old mansion. Upon seeing Wen Xishu, the guards nodded with deep respect:
"Hello, Dean Wen."
Previously, the guards at the Wen Family’s Old Mansion didn’t allow anyone in to discover secrets.
But now, their mindset had changed. There was a sense of honor in working for Dean Wen, Master Wen.
In their eyes, the Wen Family’s Old Mansion was no longer the den of a sinner but the place where Dean Wen spent his childhood.
Wen Xishu nodded, without many words, and walked straight into the room where the secrets of the Gemini could be revealed.
Everything was the same as before.
Wen Xishu found that photo.
Compared to last time, his Anti-Magic Value had increased significantly, so he was eager to know if more content would be unlocked this time.
The strange ripples appeared in the space once again.
"Little Tree, you’ve grown a lot."
The scene was as astounding as last time, with Wen Chaohua stepping out of the photo.
Even the words spoken were the same.
Wen Xishu understood... this thing is following a procedure, not saving in real-time. He had to listen again to what he heard last time.
"I am not in the bunker at this moment; I am at the Three-Tower Battlefield. This photo is my last resort. There are too many things I need to tell you, but at that time, you shouldn’t have been... found by another Little Tree from the Evil Land."
The content was the same as last time, even the emotional fluctuations of that fool inside him were the same as last time.
Wen Xishu had that feeling of déjà vu that everyone experiences several times in their lifetime.
He patiently waited, without a trace of impatience.
But gradually, as Wen Chaohua’s words neared the end of the previous round, Wen Xishu began to feel a bit excited.
Please don’t cut off the story here again, be a human!
"But I am also questioning, the initial proposal to bring people from the Evil Land across worlds, that would change my brother into another person. If that’s the approach, I would never agree."
"He also promised me. But he deceived me."
Wen Xishu, as before, asked:
"What did he deceive you about?"
Wen Chaohua said:
"The method, the method was entirely wrong! Everything was entirely different from what I suspected."
"It turns out, the cause wasn’t the cause; what I thought was the cause turned out to be the effect."
That was where it ended last time.
This time, it also paused for a few seconds at this point, and Wen Xishu pondered whether his Anti-Magic Value still wasn’t enough.
But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Chaohua was more conscientious than someone else.
Wen Chaohua’s voice continued:
"This conspiracy... involves many things, not just Gemini but also Pisces and Capricorn."
"Little Tree, you were originally whole, but because many years later I agreed to cooperate with Gemini, it resulted in you becoming incomplete."
"In fact... all these years, it’s been me who made you incomplete, brother... I’m sorry."
"I am trapped in a closed-loop of time and space, long watched over. This is my destiny."
"But things have come to this point, I have no choice; I must accept all this, I have already become Gemini."
"I am the elder brother in Gemini."
Wen Xishu frowned.
So, on the Three-Tower Battlefield, are there already two people in the Gemini constellation?
The complete Gemini is already born, theoretically a force that rivals Leo Leon, right?
But, the information I’ve obtained so far still indicates Gemini as the weakest and Leo as the strongest.
It sounds like the fool wasn’t a fool originally...
But long ago, Gemini, Capricorn, and Pisces set this up.
Back then, Wen Chaohua simply thought that his brother shouldn’t be so foolish, that he should be able to become better.
So Wen Chaohua agreed with Gemini and completed the ceremony to become the other twin in Gemini.
He became the elder brother in Gemini.
The younger brother was thus occupied by the "me" from the Evil Land, starting the subsequent tower-climbing miracles.
But now it seems the younger brother was normal originally.
All of this was a scheme targeting Wen Chaohua.
Wen Chaohua’s tone was also very strange.
One could indeed hear a sense of guilt, yet it was rather peaceful.
Moreover, Wen Chaohua held no resentment toward himself.
Yes, Wen Xishu had always been puzzled by this point.
If reversing cause and effect made the fool within become foolish because of his own crossing...
