So people find unexpected brightness within the Three Towers, while others silently grow stronger in so corner of the Three-Tower Battlefield.
In the bunker, although the auction is about to begin and a considerable number of auction-worthy sequences have been gathered, Wen Xishu is not very interested in the bunker affairs.
The strongest sequences are inevitably those he discovered while exploring the Deceit Tower.
After the auction is over, he could take a look to see if there's sothing that can strengthen him in a small range. But those Profound aning-level sequences that can reverse the flow of a battlefield are always acquired in the Deceit Tower.
Fortunately, Albert has returned.
Wen Xishu finally t the old principal again.
In the Garden Forbidden Land of Desire Tower Academy, Albert looks a bit younger again. Originally, Albert was over ninety years old but appeared like a man in his sixties.
Later, Albert seed even younger.
By this mont, so of the wrinkles on Albert's face had disappeared, and his hair was no longer completely white... he looked about forty-seven or eight.
This state astonished Wen Xishu.
Undoubtedly, in facing the Heart Inquiry, the old principal always has a single yearning: to beco younger, to gain more longevity, to restore his strength to its peak state.
The two of them were very familiar with this place.
After Wen Xishu briefly described his recent situation, he and the old principal dealt with many matters concerning the bunker.
For example, the changes in Wen Xiangge's position and so forth.
Soon many nobles and so great families will be "invited for conversations."
Once these matters were dealt with, Wen Xishu rembered he had sothing else to do. He originally planned to ask Evelyn, but Evelyn was gone, so he could only inform the old principal about Evelyn's situation.
"Evelyn Senior… hasn't returned for six days."
This sentence made Albert's heart skip a beat.
He had just grown younger through the Heart Inquiry.
Yet at this mont, he seed to age a bit again.
"Six days… ti shows no rcy."
Albert said faintly.
Six days is undoubtedly short, but staying in the Desire Tower for six days without returning speaks volus.
Albert suddenly recalled, a long ti ago, when the first na, which was Old Jin's, disappeared from the Celestial Ladder List...
They all gathered joyously, envisioning the future, basking in infinite glory at the highest echelon.
But now—
Liu Zhizai, Old Jin, Evelyn… it seems they are all on their way out.
Of course, Evelyn might still be alive.
Perhaps the journey just made her a bit weary, and she resolved things a bit slower.
"Deceit and Desire Dual Sound is quite excellent, child. You've really done an impressive job. I believe even within the Desire Tower, upon receiving this ssage, Evelyn would be proud of you."
"It's just unfortunate that she might not find soone worthy enough to exchange information with."
"Within the Deceit Tower, there has never been anyone who can reach the ninetieth floor."
Albert's tone was gentle.
Wen Xishu noticed that he addressed him as a child.
This was absolutely fair; age-wise, Albert could be his grandfather.
But in the past, he seldom addressed him like this.
Only when he felt old and helpless did he acknowledge his true old age.
"Are you… okay?"
Wen Xishu asked.
Albert shook his head slightly:
"Of course, not, this broken bunker, staying here is no good at all; the sky is fake, the ground is obstructed. I've never felt good."
"I need to climb the tower, child; ti waits for no one."
Wen Xishu was a bit taken aback.
Albert had just returned, so why was he starting to climb the tower again?
No smile appeared on Albert's face:
"The bunker is truly a dull place; I suddenly feel that I've rested enough. I need to climb the tower."
"You should do the sa; don't delay, child. Ahead of you are mirrors, Xun Hui. Don't stop walking. But if the day cos when you surpass them, perhaps pause to wait for them or lend them a hand."
Wen Xishu vaguely understood.
Albert said:
"In the ninetieth and above floors, the world within the Desire Tower is roughly as awful as the world within the Slaughter Tower."
"In such a place where one is isolated, it must be truly painful, right?"
"I'm used to it, but she isn't, nor should she be."
Albert turned and departed.
Wen Xishu could imagine if on the seventh day, Evelyn safely returned. When the old principal returns after a few days, he will surely marvel at the wonders of fate.
But only ten hours remain until the seventh day.
Waiting like this in the bunker is truly torturous.
It's like waiting for soone to die, waiting for the end of a life.
Wen Xishu recalled so words Evelyn had once said.
"I deceived a Destructive, leading them to believe I was one too. Thus, I learned quite a few secrets. I will continue to delve further, and if all goes well, next ti we et, I might bring back even more secrets."
"If it doesn't go well… tell Albert that he has always held a place in my heart."
The emotions infused in these words felt like bone-chilling winds at this mont.
If the bunker is destined never to witness a miracle… then even Albert will find himself feeling cold.
Cold enough that he can't linger in the bunker any longer; he needs to climb the tower.
Into the Slaughter Tower filled with monsters, he has to unleash his desire for slaughter, do sothing to divert his attention.
Wen Xishu understood these feelings… and thus didn't stop the old principal.
Albert's back looked solitary and desolate.
...
...
In the Garden Forbidden Land, only Wen Xishu remained.
Soon, even he left this place and headed to his office at the Deceit Tower Academy.
Even he felt the anguish of awaiting the announcent of soone's death.
He took out the Login Device, deciding that regardless of anything, he would first set off to the Deceit Tower.
After completing a journey, he would return to the bunker, return to… face the outco together with the old principal.
Wen Xishu quickly activated the Login Device.
Once again, he embarked on the exploration journey of the Three Towers.
...
...
Familiar information surfaced in his mind, but soon entirely new content that Wen Xishu had never seen before appeared.
[Welco to the Three-Tower Ga.]
[Special item "Mad Dice" detected.]
[Special authority "Madness Peak" detected.]
[Current stage canceled, current level canceled, current Mad Dice score canceled.]
[Heart Inquiry about to begin.]
What?
Wen Xishu didn't expect that Madness Peak would overturn the normal process of logging into the Three-Tower World.
He felt a bit unfamiliar.
It was like entering the Three-Tower Ga for the first ti.
Soon, Wen Xishu appeared in the "Rest Area."
Within the crisscross rest area, he was in the position of Celestial Essence.
Yet there was no one in the entire rest area.
Bear in mind, the Deceit Tower is now many people's first choice for tower climbing, the unmistakable choice for changing destiny.
The rest area had long surpassed the Slaughter Tower and Desire Tower, and it usually had quite a few people.
But surprisingly, not a single person was in this rest area.
Soon, a door appeared in the rest area.
Wen Xishu recognized this door…
This was the door in the Land of Reception; entering this door allows one to enter Heart Inquiry.
But what's worth noting is that the door is reversed.
Wen Xishu saw not the front of the door but the back.
There were no prompts, no sounds.
After pondering for a mont, he finally decided… to step inside the door for a look.
"Invert…"
"Since the normal process is to enter the door for Heart Inquiry, then the reverse process, the inverted process, should be to walk out from inside the door?"
Wen Xishu rembered that due to his courage to explore the unknown, he acquired a special authority called "Madness Peak."
This authority offers a choice of two options.
Either swap attributes with the Deceit Tower's tower guardians or swap identities.
This also destined that I, Wen Xishu, would not start as usual.
As Wen Xishu's figure passed through the door, he saw countless eerie shadows ford by obsessions.
They probably were many bosses within the Deceit Tower.
There were many odd shapes, and many maintained human outlines, so seemingly paired as brothers, others as lovers, or even small groups, and there were solitary ones as well.
"As the Heart Inquiry person, propose your question and filter your target for this ti."
A hint appeared in Wen Xishu's mind.
Wen Xishu was stunned:
"Huh?"
"Am I not answering questions, but the one asking them?"
His heart raced, acting as the Heart Inquiry person?
Filter enemies through questions? Then decide whether to swap power with this enemy or swap identities?
After comprehending this, Wen Xishu's heart raced faster, and he clearly beca excited.
If this is the case…
Then might he be able to do so savvy operations?
