Bunker, Eighth Floor.
A new legend in the bunker, an assassination attempt on Wen Xishu by a Three Towers Academy student, quickly spread.
Although some speculated it involved the Five Elders, after all, so many pairs of eyes saw the student, using a finely modified telescope as equipment.
Nagu was quickly interrogated.
The interrogation process didn't have much to say because the real Nagu was knocked out at the time and stuffed under a dorm bed.
Nagu was indeed unlucky, waking up only to be accused of assassinating the legendary Wen Xishu of the bunker.
Although Nagu was a genius, already considered an outstanding talent by the Bunker Security Bureau and many organizations, such as the Stone Betting Association...
It was still somewhat far-fetched for Nagu to kill Deceit Tower's number one.
Nagu's reaction was like this:
"Who did I kill? Me? Kill Wen Xishu?"
Even though it was so outrageous, Nagu was still severely beaten up and then imprisoned.
Because the Security Bureau needed to figure out who was mimicking Nagu and why.
The only result of the interrogation was that Nagu was a tech enthusiast who liked to fiddle with some very stealthy weapons.
For example, making a gun into a suitcase, disassembling the suitcase, and then reassembling it in different ways to turn it into firearms. Or making a gun into a telescope, for instance.
Nagu was a craftsman skilled in making such things.
The Security Bureau could only draw the helpless conclusion that Nagu's technology had been targeted, which was also why the perpetrator mimicked Nagu.
The original plan was to use Nagu's technology to directly kill Dean Wen and then frame Nagu for it.
But unexpectedly, Dean Wen made a strong counterattack.
The investigation could only end here.
As a key and elite member of the Bunker Security Bureau, the interrogators knew a little: next, the suspect turned into Luo Feng, one of the Five Elders.
But they didn't dare interrogate Luo Feng.
...
...
The Security Bureau indeed didn't dare interrogate Luo Feng.
Luo Feng also didn't need to prove his innocence, but he still did so.
That night, Luo Feng went to Deceit Tower Academy and had a frank exchange with Wen Xishu.
In the "Memory Record" facility, Luo Feng felt many strong presences.
"So this is your safe house. Impressive."
Numerous powerful creatures gathered in the safe house, listening to Wen Xishu's command.
Wen Xishu said:
"I only now realize how strong the Five Elders are, you are just as impressive."
Luo Feng looked around, then back at Wen Xishu, sincerely saying:
"I initially thought the mimic had limited ability. If it were really me, no matter how tricky your means, you shouldn't have survived."
"But now, I realize even if it were me, it might be very difficult to kill you in the bunker. Wen Xishu, I have no favorable impression of you. But I admit, you're the most talented after Albert."
Wen Xishu also understood that the other party wasn't praising him; these words actually meant: I don't like you, but you're important, I'm not the perpetrator.
It also indicated that they could work together in the future.
"Who do you think could approach you and mimic you?"
Luo Feng shook his head, avoiding Wen Xishu's question, instead posing a new question:
"I was wondering why the other party didn't mimic Albert. What do you think?"
Wen Xishu had also thought about this. If they mimicked Albert, a punch from him might require relying on Phoenix feathers to survive it.
However, the question was quite easy to answer: since there was a better choice that wasn't chosen, it could only mean—it wasn't possible.
Wen Xishu said:
"Maybe he can't mimic such a powerful being."
Luo Feng nodded:
"Yes, Albert is very strong, beyond imagination. So the assassin's ability has an upper limit, or rather, the assassin is also limited by the bunker."
"Restricted by the bunker, yet able to observe and mimic me. I don't know if there's such a person in the bunker. I'm here to tell you, I'm not the assassin, there's no deep animosity between us."
"At the same time, I also need to tell you that the real perpetrator's identity must be very special and noble."
Wen Xishu sighed:
"Thank you, Elder Luo."
His sigh carried some compassion.
Luo Feng also captured some information from the sigh: Wen Xishu likely had an answer.
Wen Xishu indeed had an answer.
In fact, after "Luo Feng" failed in the assassination and then left grandly, Wen Xishu had a suspicion.
Coupled with the fact that the other party had changed face once, Wen Xishu could almost determine it wasn't Luo Feng.
And turning into someone else... happened to be Wen Xishu's experience during his last tower climb.
In the "Spirit Concentration Camp" in Magic City, he had experienced transformation.
He could transform into Britney, Zhou Fei, Chris.
He also got the Heart of Fusion that time and learned that it came from someone named Golden Flash.
Being able to reach the Five Elders, mimic the Five Elders, must mean someone with a high position or distinguished status.
Moreover, the other party's circle of friends also involved students from Three Towers Academy.
Combining these deductions, Wen Xishu almost had the answer.
Xiaojin.
He had also arranged for someone to look for Xiaojin that afternoon.
But Xiaojin disappeared.
Wen Xishu said:
"You should go back. With your status, there's really no need for you to personally come and explain. It should be me visiting you to understand the situation."
Luo Feng was surprised to find that Wen Xishu had become polite.
During the Great Devour, Wen Xishu had shown no kindness to the Five Elders, even directly kicking the elder out of the safe house back then.
