When he heard this, Xun Hui seemed fine, but Wenren Mirror appeared somewhat agitated. This surprised Evelyn, as this child had climbed the Desire Tower, practicing emotion control. How could he become so unsettled when hearing about the Wen Family's matters?
Xun Hui understood that Wenren Mirror had always wanted to clear the Wen Family's name. He wanted to prove that Wen Chaohua had his reasons.
But Xun Hui was calm, because he understood one thing: no matter what reasons the Wen Family had, they killed someone, and killing is killing. Murder must be repaid with a life.
One cannot justify killing those who they deem not to possess such significant fates just because they themselves bear a destiny of profound meaning, can they?
Xun Hui acknowledged Wen Chaohua as a friend, but he wasn't as sentimental as Wenren Mirror.
Of course, Wen Xishu merely chatted briefly about Wen Tingyun, not to exonerate the Wen Family, but to introduce some Underworld rules.
For example, Merit.
In the latter half of Wen Xishu's narrative, he mentioned that he went to the Underworld world three years later, at that particular point in time...
Xun Hui and Wenren Mirror were both dead.
Hearing this, Albert furrowed his brows.
Wen Xishu didn't keep them in suspense and quickly explained the reason.
Once he narrated the whole cause and effect, he came to a conclusion:
"The Jin Zhenyuan I encountered in the Underworld… was not the real Jin Zhenyuan, but the Elder, Liu Zhizai."
"Jin Zhenyuan… is not in the Underworld."
"I believe he is not dead, because if he were, the massive causal link would have been settled… at least it wouldn't remain unsettled."
"Not long after, Senior Xun and Senior Wenren, you both reached the seventieth layer and were killed by Sagittarius."
"Furthermore, Mr. Jin seems to possess an ability that allows him to become someone else."
"In Liu Zhizai's memory, there was a phrase said by Mr. Jin, he said you will become a part of me."
"And Longxia's Dragon Hide Plan also has a god, the god's ability is to make other Longxia People a part of him."
"They believed that a super warrior capable of merging with countless people is a god that can change the fate of humanity."
"This plan, as far as I know, failed. I once experienced a large migration of Longxia People inside the Desire Tower; during the migration, they talked, that god—went mad."
"I'm thinking, if insanity was a prerequisite, then that god must have been normal once, meaning Longxia really created a god of superior combat power."
"But instability led to madness."
"And one part of that god's ability is very similar to Mr. Jin's ability, there is a deep connection between them."
"In his heart, Mr. Jin must always have been concerned with Longxia's plan; perhaps more than the Bunker, he still cares more about Longxia's underground bunker and more about the god created by Longxia."
"I don't know what has happened recently that made Mr. Jin, who has been dormant for decades, suddenly spring into action, and I can't see through his intentions; I don't know what he's really doing."
"But everything I'm saying is true. He must have some motives."
This was an overwhelming amount of information.
Evelyn continually shook her head, expressing disbelief, unable to believe that Old Jin had been hiding so deeply all along.
Albert's gaze was like a sharp sword, looking at Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu, neither humble nor arrogant, did not evade but responded calmly to Albert.
"Old Jin not being dead is something I'm very happy about... but your speculation that his heart isn't in the Bunker but in Longxia, I find hard to believe."
"Evelyn and I followed Old Jin step by step to where we are now. Along the way, we witnessed humanity's confusion in the face of the Apocalypse Era, and also witnessed Old Jin leading us to create a new civilization and even a splendid era after that."
"Now you tell me, this person who single-handedly forged a new human civilization... doesn't love the Bunker, I don't believe it!"
Wen Xishu had anticipated this point.
Aware of everyone's reactions.
If this were Luo Feng, he might have even attacked him now.
He could actually fabricate a lie where Mr. Jin could be dignified, then reveal the truth bit by bit as more evidence emerges.
But Wen Xishu didn't want to lie to the old headmaster.
"If you don't believe me... then go to the seventieth layer. Now, those who can go to the seventieth layer are Senior Xun and Senior Wenren. If you don't mind sacrificing them, to test a theory, go ahead and try."
"Old Headmaster, I have always respected you. But think about it, these days, Mr. Jin's activity level, compared to before... isn't it too high?"
"Have you found Golden Flash?"
Wen Xishu suddenly asked.
Albert actually knew that Wen Xishu wouldn't speak impulsively to attack Old Jin.
Albert sighed:
"I... might have really become senile, I don't know how to decide on this matter for the time being. As for Xiaojin, we already have some leads."
"He is in the Three Towers Academy, but hiding. Leaving Three Towers Academy, his ability will fail, so we have been continuously sealing off."
"Not long ago, a student reported a case saying that there was a ghost, a transforming ghost, that looked exactly like him."
"The ability is quite tricky, to avoid causing panic and not forcing the son of an old friend into a corner, I plan to slowly close in."
"Don't worry, in three days I will be able to find him. No, it might not even take that long."
Xiaojin is hiding from them, Wen Xishu had a feeling, maybe Xiaojin was very confused at this moment, in a state of not knowing whom to trust.
