"So I refused. But my refusal was meaningless."
"Soon after, Xiaojin disappeared. He left the asylum unnoticed, and no one knew how he left."
"And shortly after that, I fell into a coma."
"When I woke up again, I had become Longxia's traitor. In my mind, there was a memory: I used my formidable power to defeat all the armed forces of the Swan Plan..."
"I seemed to be a superhuman. From the moment I woke up after my coma, I gained power, formidable power."
"But more than that, my faith in Longxia's Doomsday Defense Plan began to waver. At that time, it was as if I had become a different person."
Wen Xishu thought about it and felt that if judging by actions rather than intentions... Mr. Jin did seem quite strange.
Faced with great choices, he stood on the side of the nation, yet he let Ding Dong go. He didn't escape but chose to accept punishment calmly... but these were only verbal descriptions. The truth is, Mr. Jin suddenly gained power; he didn't accept punishment but punished those who tried to punish him.
Wen Xishu tried to put himself in Wei Ping'an's shoes.
From Wei Ping'an's perspective, if only looking at Mr. Jin's actions—
Mr. Jin did seem like a traitor; he stopped the Swan Plan yet secretly carried out the Swan Plan himself and gained formidable power.
And utilizing this power, he saw Xiong Su's Sky Plan, the Land of Freedom's Ark Plan, Longxia's Swan Plan... all failed.
The right answer lies in another world.
From this perspective, Mr. Jin is very likely a hidden evil entity. He is just very well concealed. No one has noticed.
But Wen Xishu suddenly thought of the people "Golden Flash" had contact with—Britney, Zhou Fei, Chris... they all possessed formidable power.
From this angle, Golden Flash was indeed very special; Mr. Jin's power likely comes from Golden Flash.
"Now, are you sure you brought back Xiaojin from back then?" Wen Xishu asked.
Mr. Jin replied:
"They look identical. But after bringing him back to the bunker... all his wonders seemed to vanish. He indeed possesses aptitude, has the talent for climbing the Slaughter Tower, but that's not enough compared to the shock he brought me many years ago; the bunker version of him seems like an ordinary person."
"So after Evelyn washed away Xiaojin's memory, I tried to get Albert to cultivate him, to tap into his potential."
"But he quickly encountered problems during the tower climbing. It seems he shouldn't have climbed the Deceit Tower; he should have climbed the Slaughter Tower."
For a moment, Wen Xishu didn't know what to say. Mr. Jin continued:
"And before I entered the bunker, the last time I saw Xiaojin, he split into two people and started imitating Gemini."
"I don't know what this means, but I always have a feeling that his imitation isn't over yet. Maybe in the Three-Tower World, there is another Xiaojin?"
"Just like twins."
Wen Xishu's heart skipped a beat. Mr. Jin then described the characteristics of twins:
"It's said that twins only exert their full power when together, but once separated... both are significantly weakened."
Mr. Jin's words, Wen Xishu understood.
Xiaojin can alternately become certain zodiac signs, possessing some mechanisms and powers of those signs, but Gemini is special...
Due to becoming Gemini, Xiaojin's power became incomplete. The Xiaojin Mr. Jin brought back—
It's very likely just one of the twins, which explains why this Xiaojin is far less formidable than the original Xiaojin.
And Zhifei, Chris, and others encountered another Xiaojin.
In a sense, Mr. Jin stealing one of the Xiaojin might have actually undermined Xiaojin's ability to exert his original strength.
Of course, Xiaojin becoming ordinary might also be due to the bunker, as the bunker is special and can limit certain powers.
"Additionally, Longxia's Chosen Plan may also be related to Xiaojin. This is something I learned after encountering Capricorn," Mr. Jin added.
Wen Xishu lowered his head, pondering all the information.
Heart of Fusion, all zodiac powers mixed... alternately changing, unstable temperament, but ultimately staying in the form of Gemini.
Wen Xishu felt there might be a connection here, but the clues were too few now.
Mr. Jin said:
"Is there anything else you want to know? I'll tell you everything."
Wen Xishu felt there were too many things to explore, and he needed this information to assess what kind of person Mr. Jin truly was.
But unfortunately, till now, Xiaojin's true identity remains unclear, and instead, there are more bizarre points.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Xishu said:
"The bunker… what was it all about initially? You were the earliest to enter the bunker, right?"
Mr. Jin didn't hide:
"When I awoke from the coma, I knew the entrance to the bunker. Through a special passage constructed by the guide, I could reach the bunker."
"These memories... I don't know where they came from, but when I awoke, they were like established facts in my mind; they reminded me that this was the only correct answer."
"I was indeed the first to enter the bunker, and it was I who, amid the gaps in the Sky Plan, Chosen Plan, Ark Plan, continuously guided others into the bunker."
"Compared to the millions involved in foreign plans, the initial population of the bunker was very small. Initially, the bunker only had two levels."
"Functional level, residential level."
"With formidable power, I became the master of the bunker at that time; everyone had to survive under my arrangements."
Wen Xishu asked:
"How was the bunker formed? What is the Three-Tower Game all about?"
This was a big question. Mr. Jin merely stood up and left the cushion. His white robe fluttered without wind, giving off a celestial vibe:
"I'm just a pawn in the torrent of fate."
"Ever since I encountered Golden Flash, I've been pushed by some force. The Three Towers are the board, the rules, but if you ask me where those rules come from, what Xiaojin is, or what the Twelve Constellations are about..."
"I can't answer those questions. I feel like my mission is complete, child. For a while, I thought I was a man of destiny."
"Especially when I woke from the coma with formidable power and memories that could truly save others... all of this made me feel like I was carrying the mission of driving history forward."
"But later, I found out I wasn't special anymore, Albert even slowly surpassed me, and that's when I realized—"
"Everything was just because I was at that node, and the chess player... gave me a push."
"But what all this means, I am not sure."
Mr. Jin turned his head, his eyes full of the vicissitudes of life, but deep in his pupils, there were still sparks of hope:
"I have one last mission left, and that is to open the road for you. As for the source, only you can explore."
"Go climb the towers, let the Three Towers answer you."
