Now, the bunker needs Wen Xishu as a weapon... but no longer needs an additional hero.
This is the thought of Liu Zhizai.
In Liu Zhizai’s eyes, Wen Xishu is about to succeed on his own, and the others around him don’t need to rise with him.
After all, the Five Elders, and those even higher, are very eager to know the secret of the number one person in Deceit Tower.
Yue Yun and the others certainly didn’t dare to disobey the orders of the Five Elders, but just as they were about to leave—
Liu Zhizai disappeared.
...
...
Outside the safehouse, Liu Zhizai was a bit confused. What was going on?
But soon, he understood what had happened.
Liu Zhizai’s eyes instantly turned cold.
Wen Xishu had returned. The real owner of the safehouse, Wen Xishu, had returned, and then... he had been kicked out by the owner of the safehouse using his owner’s privileges.
Inside the safehouse, everyone who realized what had just happened... stared in shock at the suddenly arriving Wen Xishu.
"Ah Shu, you..." Ah Miao was stunned.
In the house, besides them, there were also some Security Bureau officers and the elites of the Stone Gambling Society.
Among them were Wang Ying, Atreus, and others.
They had just dealt with the White Vortex and returned to gather new information while taking a rest.
As the strategist of the Stone Gambling Society, how could Atreus not understand what Elder Liu was thinking...
He was just very surprised, as if the Five Elders seemed to naturally hold some hostility towards Wen Xishu.
But Atreus couldn’t afford to offend the rulers at this level. In front of the Five Elders, he acted extremely respectfully, even more so than Yue Yun.
Wen Xishu’s actions shocked everyone.
"You... you brat, how dare you! That was an Elder! An Elder! The most powerful person in the whole bunker!"
Atreus looked at Wen Xishu incredulously.
Who would’ve thought, someone actually drove the Five Elders away.
Wen Xishu said:
"Annoying. If the King of Heaven spoke to my teammates like that, I’d kick him out too. If he has the guts, he can kill me in the bunker."
The second vortex had descended, and Wen Xishu was very clear on his reputation. As long as he didn’t do anything outrageously wrong...
Now, no one could touch him.
When Wen Xishu returned, he immediately heard Elder Liu Zhizai pressuring his friends.
He wasn’t about to tolerate that.
If you didn’t pay the rent, how dare you bully the landlord’s friends?
Of course, this was from Wen Xishu’s perspective.
He felt, if he wanted to do it, he did it. It didn’t matter if you were the Five Elders or Albert; if you spoke crappy words, you had to get out.
But in the eyes of others, it was still too shocking.
It was like a chancellor visiting a commoner’s house and being slapped and kicked out by the commoner.
Wen Xishu said:
"Don’t just stand there dumbfounded, the old headmaster will argue for me. That guy doesn’t want you to share in my glory or gain big merits in the Great Devour.
"So we just have to do it."
Wen Xishu thought this way. He had already started preparing to head to the next orange vortex.
Which was that mysterious ancient castle.
Yue Yun understood Wen Xishu’s actions; in life, many things can’t be handled head-on.
If the leader makes trouble and you fight back, it feels good, but in stories like that, the protagonist is usually rich, or about to die, or has a system to back him up...
Now, Wen Xishu fought back against the Five Elders, which felt great, but Yue Yun knew that it was Wen Xishu’s privilege, not theirs.
Yue Yun looked at the screen in the safehouse and said:
"Wen Xishu, are you going to this ancient castle?"
Wen Xishu nodded and said:
[Ancient Castle Story, Level: Orange.]
[Recommended Anti-Magic Value: 43 points.]
[Recommended number of people: 1-10.]
[Brief information: It is said that beyond the church, there is an ancient castle. After the apocalypse, the castle periodically welcomes some visitors. The visitors need to tell their adventure stories in the knight’s hall of the castle.
Can you brag? Have you committed any evil? Is there shadow and evil hidden in your past? If so, you must carefully tell your story. Because the knights will punish all evil. But you must be honest.
Good luck.]
Yue Yun said:
"Based on the experience of the second vortex, it can be seen that tasks with a recommended number starting from 1 are essentially solo tasks."
"Following you would be a burden. Moreover, this task... seems to require some skill in storytelling. In other words, unlike the first Great Vortex which required execution and luck, and the second vortex which required physical fitness to reach the carriage..."
"This task is more about strategy, which is not Nissen’s and my forte."
"The Chosen Train only requires you to be strong enough to get through the layers of screening. But this task requires careful storytelling... I don’t have much of a story. I’ve never committed evil."
Yue Yun hesitated for a moment:
"If you need, I will risk everything, but I can’t knowingly take a risk and drag you down."
The first task required a lot of people and someone to help Wen Xishu break the situation by opening the jar.
With a lot of people, Wen Xishu’s safety also needed more protection. Yue Yun didn’t hesitate to step in.
But now, he felt he shouldn’t continue following Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu knew this reasoning had rational thought, but it also partly came from Elder Liu Zhizai’s recent pressure.
Nissen said:
"Bro, me too, me too. Xiaoyun and I still have to deal with the White Vortex, otherwise, our reputation will suffer."
It was rare that Nissen also saw the key issue so clearly and calmly.
