He suspected that Xiaojin was the one who attempted to assassinate him. However, Xiaojin might not even know why he wanted to do this.
Finding Xiaojin would unlock information for the next phase.
Wen Xishu wasn't in a rush; he trusted the principal.
He also knew that the principal actually trusted him too.
However, the things he mentioned now indeed caused the principal's heart to ache.
Wen Xishu said:
"I can also accept...Evelyn senior, your test. Here in the Desire Tower area, you can attempt to use certain abilities on me, and I won't resist."
"You can test whether what I'm saying is true or false."
"Maybe my words don't represent the truth, but I can guarantee that at least I am being honest."
Being willing to accept Evelyn's test already illustrates the issue.
Evelyn was also in great pain.
She recalled how Old Jin had once said many gentle words; facing peaceful survival at various societal levels, Old Jin had said:
"Actually, to be able to reach this level, I have fulfilled my duty to heaven and earth, haven't I? Doing this is already good, right?"
At that time, Evelyn kept nodding.
It was remarkable that, in that chaotic, turbulent world full of slaughter and death, he led people to carve out a new survival foothold here...
Initially relying on his own strength, continually bringing back supplies to support everyone, also constantly encouraging others to climb the tower, he finally established a complete social order and survival system.
This is genuinely outstanding.
Yet such a person is not tied to the Bunker, eagerly hoping to return to Longxia.
What a contradiction.
Nevertheless, Evelyn was somewhat convinced now too.
Wen Xishu had no reason to lie.
Besides, Old Jin had indeed been quite active lately.
"As long as we find Xiaojin, perhaps some guesses can be confirmed." Evelyn thought inside.
Xun Hui and Wenren Mirror then looked at Wen Xishu, Xun Hui said:
"Earlier you said that if I go to the seventieth floor of Slaughter Tower, I would die. Now if I don't go, does this count as reversing fate?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Of course it counts. However, this situation is different from me bringing you back directly from Land of the Dead. I have asked this question, changing the fate of the living in the world of the living does not violate the rules of the Land of the Dead."
Xun Hui asked again:
"If Sagittarius doesn't leave, does that mean we can't go to the seventieth floor?"
Wen Xishu thought for a moment, then nodded again:
"I think we're temporarily unable to do anything about him."
Xun Hui looked at Albert:
"If Old Master, along with me, plus a hindrance, could we piece together a level to get to the seventieth floor and counter Sagittarius?"
What a resolute idea and approach.
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I'm afraid not. Because the position he occupies is very special; simply put, you can't find him, but he can attack you."
Xun Hui remained silent for a while before speaking:
"That's too frustrating; what exactly are these constellations?"
Wen Xishu was also unsure:
"This is something we need to explore later. We actually only know how to play with the Three Towers, but to say we have deep understanding, we actually don't."
The students' conversation reached Albert's ears.
He quickly recovered and said:
"Thank you for the matters regarding Old Jin; this information is crucial, very, very crucial. Xun Hui, Mirror, make sure you don't attempt to climb to the seventieth floor."
Wen Xishu said:
"You believe me?"
Albert patted Wen Xishu's shoulder:
"I don't doubt my fellow companions, just as I once trusted Old Jin. Actually, what you said doesn't prove how evil Old Jin is."
"It only proves that Old Jin has a different stance, but as a friend, as the master of the Bunker, he has done well enough."
"In my eyes, perhaps Old Jin recently sensed something, he made choices, wanting to do his utmost for Longxia's plan in his final effort."
"I trust my friends."
Everyone fell silent. Evelyn's gaze became soft.
Someone like Albert, once he identifies someone as a friend, he absolutely does not betray them lightly.
Wen Xishu greatly admired the old master's qualities.
He also hoped Mr. Jin wasn't an enemy on the tower-climbing journey.
"I don't know who to believe, but I trust the people present here." Wen Xishu didn't say this aloud, merely thinking it internally.
Undoubtedly, after Mr. Jin left, Albert was the foremost person in the Bunker.
Compared to Mr. Jin, Albert had fewer twists and turns, no complex stances or contradictions. He only had one goal—to break through a hundred levels and solve the mystery of the Three Towers.
An absolute man of action.
He quickly made a choice and decision:
"But anyway, we must understand the mystery surrounding Old Jin."
"Evelyn, recently observe Lao Luo more and have conversations with him. Lao Luo is among Old Jin's many subordinates, the one he trusts the most. Perhaps Lao Luo knows something."
"As for my side, I have to first catch that little guy, maybe he also knows some of Old Jin's secrets."
Wen Xishu thought the same, he must quickly find Xiaojin.
