"My mission is to make sure you survive. Why don’t you tell me how we can get out of here?"
Jin Zaimin shook his head:
"No, you all need to survive on your own. As for how many can leave, that’s an extra task for you all."
Well, even the bonus points for this mission are so clear.
Wen Xishu asked:
"As far as I know, you shouldn’t be aware of these details."
Jin Zaimin was silent for a moment, then smiled:
"Let me think, where should I start. Have you ever heard of the Erosion entities?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, I’ve heard of them."
Jin Zaimin asked:
"Have you ever made contact? Do the people from your world already understand them? Unfortunately, I don’t have much to offer you. There are many refugees outside the building, and I’ve donated some supplies."
Wen Xishu noticed that the room was indeed very simple, much simpler than when he first entered An Jincheng’s room.
But he could still observe some of the zodiac elements.
"I’ve had contact. Some people from our world... are quite knowledgeable about the Erosion entities."
Jin Zaimin said:
"Then you should understand, even if I know everything, it makes sense."
This sentence answered Wen Xishu’s question.
Wen Xishu said:
"Are you saying that everything you know was told to you by the Erosion entities? But would there be any Erosion entities in this place? This is just... a very early stage."
Jin Zaimin did not deny it:
"You can continue to ask some questions."
Wen Xishu asked again:
"Who is that Erosion entity?"
This time, Jin Zaimin shook his head:
"Sorry, that’s a secret. Our people are spread throughout Jicheng and will soon spread to other places. And you, you once were a benefactor, or rather a guide to the two young masters."
"The two young masters later made their own way in the world. From my perspective, you are not our enemy. I’ve already killed many people and gone through too many cycles. I won’t harm someone holding that knife."
Wen Xishu was shocked.
Indeed, this mission on the seventh level certainly had more participants than just him, Ah Miao, Xiaowu, and others. Many people died on this level, but those people should have died at An Youxuan’s hands, right?
After all, it was only after the destiny track was re-anchored that the owner of this room became Jin Zaimin. Jin Zaimin seemed to know Wen Xishu’s doubts:
"I’ve said before, our time is not the same."
Too many suspicious points.
Wen Xishu said:
"From my common knowledge... this place shouldn’t have Erosion entities."
Jin Zaimin also admitted:
"It’s not that there are no Erosion entities here. It’s just that you won’t encounter them in this place. You are not as free as we are; you are restricted by regions."
Wen Xishu understood. It was very reasonable. Just like when he was on the 21st floor of the Desire Tower, he encountered a hidden Erosion entity doctor.
But in that timeline, there were no Erosion entities in distant Jiangcheng, near Tang Rui.
The Desire Tower and the Deceit Tower are divided into levels by regional restrictions, so in the same timeline, just because this area doesn’t have Erosion entities doesn’t mean other areas don’t.
Wen Xishu sighed again. They have thoroughly understood everything about the Tower Climbers.
It’s like on a rainy night in Jiangcheng, Wen Xishu felt that perhaps there were other powerful beings in other regions.
The Erosion entity who provided information to Jin Zaimin must have gone through many reboots and each time remained undiscovered by other Tower Climbers.
This astonished Wen Xishu greatly. What level of Erosion entity in Desire Tower would this be? Wen Xishu immediately thought of a conclusion.
"I am in Miracle Mansion on the seventh level of Jicheng. This area matches the difficulty of the seventh level of the Deceit Tower. But in the same timeline... other areas of Jicheng are very likely higher levels of the Deceit Tower or higher levels of the Desire Tower."
"In higher-level areas of the Desire Tower, there would be Erosion entities. This Erosion entity is very powerful and has figured out all the mechanisms and powers of the Tower Climbers."
"And also connects with people from other regions, grasping clues from people in other regions in each cycle?"
Wen Xishu didn’t know if his guess was correct. But he knew that if he directly asked, Jin Zaimin definitely wouldn’t say.
When the npc becomes aware that their side has a super npc who can modify the fundamental source code, they would definitely try to hide it.
Wen Xishu was internally surprised. What kind of role was An Rongzai?
Jin Zaimin said:
"According to your ways, the higher you go, the less difference there is between the normal world and the obsession world. I don’t need to explain much to you, nor can I tell you who is narrating all this."
Wen Xishu asked:
"Then why did you invite me in? To talk about what?"
Jin Zaimin said:
"To reach an agreement with you. My master An Rongzai needs your strength to change the future of some regions..."
Wen Xishu thought he knew An Rongzai well enough. But now he realized he had underestimated this terrifying old man. This old monster might be a Three Towers version of Albert?
He instantly figured out the logic and couldn’t help but want to applaud An Rongzai:
"No wonder he’s the number one figure of the Sanqiu Group. He learned about the Erosion entities, then learned about the Tower Climbers through them, and from knowing about the Tower Climbers’ various exploits, he figured out how to change fate’s track and re-anchor history..."
"Then by re-anchoring history, thought of using this method... to dismantle the enemy?"
Using the Bunker players’ ability to re-anchor destiny tracks, to kill those undefeatable enemies from the root.
This is just like an npc grabbing the player’s controller and manipulating the character to kill other npc...
