Wen Chaohua's statent "Deceit Tower is what's most important" seems to be exemplified here.
Albert interrupted:
"Both of you, stop being modest. Speak up, Evelyn, don't keep us hanging."
Evelyn nodded and got straight to the point:
"I won't conceal this matter for Old Jin anymore... I've chosen to tell you everything, hoping you'll understand my thoughts."
Albert said:
"Even if you don't do this for , Evelyn, you're still my friend."
Evelyn was a bit surprised by Albert's words. But thinking about it... she seed to understand.
In Albert's view, it didn't matter who he helped, because deep down he always trusted Old Jin.
"That child actually appeared shortly after you logged into the ninetieth floor."
"He's not from the Bunker."
Wen Xishu perked up; this was absolute insider information.
Albert frowned:
"Continue."
Evelyn said:
"Old Jin made so sort of deal with soone... hmm, this is my guess, he shouldn't have the capability to let soone who doesn't belong to the Bunker enter the Bunker."
"In short, by making a deal with soone of very high authority, Old Jin got that child."
"Afterward, I've been responsible for... eliminating the child's mory."
"But I can only eliminate; I'm unable to probe his mory."
Thinking of Xiaojin's mory, Wen Xishu recalled the Chosen Train. That train showed Xiaojin the fear deep within his heart.
Perhaps those fears were things Xiaojin had forgotten?
"But later, Old Jin would often have do this kind of thing."
"At the sa ti, he'd repeatedly mold the child's mory."
Albert asked:
"How does he mold it?"
Evelyn looked into Albert's eyes:
"Using my sequence, to make him gentle, kind, honest, and friendly."
"In short, it had to be in line with conventional notions of a good person."
"After erasing the child's mory and reshaping it... we'd find ways to begin training him, taking him to do various interesting things to see how he'd make choices."
"Like the trolley problem. Old Jin would even make him choose between 'saving his grandfather or his girlfriend when they're both drowning'—these trivial choices."
Albert seed to understand:
"You're testing whether the child truly becos gentle, kind, honest, friendly?"
Evelyn nodded:
"Yes, that's right."
Albert then asked:
"What happened after? Could it be he was only trained recently? You said he entered the Bunker a long ti ago, but I only found out recently that he even has a grandson."
Evelyn was silent for a mont, then sighed:
"No, actually according to practical performance, after the first mory elimination and reshaping, the child was already a kind, gentle, friendly, honest kid."
"But what happened next was quite peculiar. In my opinion, after the child seed to be properly trained..."
"Old Jin would have erase his mory. He'd revert to a state of complete amnesia."
Wen Xishu and Albert were stunned.
What's going on?
Erase a person's mory, then implant mories that give him many wonderful virtues.
But after successfully achieving this, suddenly erase the person's mory again?
Wen Xishu seed to hear a computer's "reset."
Evelyn said:
"Hard to comprehend, right? I can't understand why Old Jin does this either?"
"But Old Jin... just like you trust him, Albert, I trust him too. He asks to do strange things, but as long as he asks, I will do it."
"So next, I started reshaping mories again. This ti, Old Jin provided with many changes. I still had to make the child beco a person of virtues, even of saintly qualities."
"But the story materials changed, simply put, the path diverged. I need to make this child turn out the sa as before, but the experiences must differ."
Attain the sa result but pursue different processes. That, indeed, is understandable.
There's no one in this world whose experience is the sa, but human types aren't nurous.
"And then? Old Jin would have you repeat this process over and over?"
Evelyn smiled wryly:
"Yes, I carefully select materials each ti. I'd even collect the past of those kind people below, turning their stories."
"But in the end, once the child successfully passes the evaluation and becos a good person, Old Jin would have erase the mory again."
"I've lost count of how many materials I've chosen, how many mories I've given him, and then erased, how many tis this process has been repeated."
"Until recently... Old Jin began to tell to give this child new mories, of course, this ti it's different."
"This ti, this child is a paragon, the grandson of the one with the highest authority in the entire Bunker. Compared to previous materials... this child's identity is quite extraordinary."
"I'm even wondering if Old Jin's torturing this child. After all, all mories will eventually be erased."
"But strangely, this ti, Old Jin didn't have erase mory."
"Shortly afterward, this child appeared at Three Towers Academy, Albert, which is your domain."
"Coincidentally, Wen Xishu, he's your roommate."
Wen Xishu and Albert exchanged a glance.
Albert asked:
"What's your opinion, Evelyn? Do you think Old Jin does this, repeatedly struggles with this child... what on earth is it for?"
