Those five?
Wen Xishu immediately realized:
"Phoenix and I have a good relationship, and he also found a way to escape. I don't know the whereabouts of Sirius. After I saved him, we parted ways."
"He most likely fell into the hands of Scorpio."
"As for the others... I have to keep it confidential."
Wen Xishu didn't say whether he knew or not, he simply mentioned being secretive, and he didn't give details about Phoenix and Sirius.
However, his attitude indeed gave Mr. Jin the impression that he knew quite a bit.
Mr. Jin said:
"I truly didn't expect you to have such experiences. It shows the great value of climbing the Deceit Tower, but most importantly, it's about going deeper."
"It's not about the level being high, but about each level being sufficiently deep. You've done well, surpassing me and Albert back in the day."
Mr. Jin gave a high evaluation.
Wen Xishu appeared flattered, shaking his head:
"I'm not on the same level as you and the old principal. By the way, Senior Jin, I have something to ask you."
Mr. Jin said:
"Feel free to ask. Before I leave, I shouldn't take secrets valuable to you to the Netherworld."
These words were indeed noble, but Wen Xishu always felt that Mr. Jin's enlightenment... or transformation, came too quickly.
After being in retreat for decades, just because of my analysis of Xiaojin not long ago... he decided to come out?
Of course, on the surface, Wen Xishu didn't show any flaws:
"Ding Dong... do you have any impression of this name?"
"Ah, little Phoenix, of course, I remember, one of my children." Mr. Jin smiled, a hint of nostalgia in his smile.
"That was the first 'God' we came into contact with. He was a talented child, wonderful. The things he made might help us face the apocalypse... even find a piece of pure land."
Mr. Jin seemed very regretful and remorseful. Wen Xishu said nothing.
Mr. Jin said:
"But I still made a mistake. I should have tried my best to stop those radicals, their Swan Plan, attempting to dissect Ding Dong."
"I couldn't bear it, but I also couldn't betray my country, so I let Ding Dong go."
This roughly matches what I know about the plot.
Wen Xishu said:
"You are from Longxia."
Mr. Jin didn't deny it.
"Then, by letting Ding Dong go, would it lead to... you being punished?"
Mr. Jin said:
"Yes, for a while afterward, I stayed at the island's experimental base... the most dangerous place, awaiting punishment."
"I believe my country will still have use for me."
Wen Xishu's heart skipped a beat.
He's concealing something!
This doesn't match what Wei Ping'an told me!
Wen Xishu began recalling what Wei Ping'an said back then, about Longxia's, the Chosen Train's conductor. At the time, Wei Ping'an said:
"This is the Swan Plan."
"The person in charge of the plan was someone as excellent as you, his name was Jin Zhenyuan."
"But he betrayed us... he let go of the child with a great connection to God."
"But Jin Zhenyuan is an extremely excellent person, we need his strength... We sent people to the island, wanting to bring Jin Zhenyuan back, he loved that child too much, and we can understand."
"But what happened next was beyond our expectations, Jin Zhenyuan seemed to have gained superpowers, with his own strength, he defeated all... the experts we sent."
"It turns out that Mr. Jin Zhenyuan, through an unknown method... obtained some powers of God."
"His physique was unlike ordinary people, his response, skill, and speed were far beyond humans."
"Jin Zhenyuan didn't kill his old comrades, only left a message... The future of humanity is not in the real world, please do not contact him again."
Wen Xishu was certain that Mr. Jin had already glimpsed something, knowing at the time that, be it the Swan Plan or the Chosen Plan, they would fail.
Only the Bunker, this mysterious base that doesn't exist in the real world, is the true correct answer.
But the question is, what exactly did Mr. Jin do?
Wen Xishu remained calm:
"So, how did you end up in the Bunker? In the old principal's memory, you were inherently powerful, you unified the various systems, language, and currency of the Bunker, you were very much like an emperor in Longxia's history."
"Where does your power... come from?"
This was quite a bold question. But Mr. Jin had his answer:
"This all can be attributed to another child."
Up until now, Wen Xishu couldn't tell whether Mr. Jin was good or evil. Because this person, in Wei Ping'an's eyes, betrayed his own country.
But this person also indeed contributed greatly to the Bunker People.
Moreover, the old principal's cherished life-and-death companion... must have some personal charm.
But out of caution, Wen Xishu still had to test in multiple ways.
He said:
"Could it be you're talking about Golden Flash?"
Mr. Jin nodded:
"He's actually not named Golden Flash, but later I thought he should have a name and that he should have the identity of my grandson, so he's called Golden Flash."
"But if one day, outside the Bunker, in the Three-Tower World, you meet him and hear him call himself Golden Flash, don't be surprised."
"Because he's like Pisces, he can see time. He can see his future self, how he will be called."
Pisces?
How is this Golden Flash connected to Pisces?
Mr. Jin said:
"Do you know what choice Longxia made after the failure of the Swan Plan?"
