Three Towers Game

These twisted lines interweave, expressing the equally twisted inner world.

At this moment, Wen Xishu feels... everyone and every scene in this memory takes on this twisted art style.

The lines’ meandering, like Van Gogh’s draft paintings, give the feeling of incompleteness before full color.

However, in the midst of this, Wen Xishu still sees a familiar figure. Actually, not exactly familiar, as he has only met once.

A noble youth, slightly decadent, holds a guitar and wears a ten-gallon hat with a deep red jacket.

Though the colors are unclear, Wen Xishu remembers the outfit from their first meeting.

These people... don’t seem to change clothes?

Speaking of which, Scorpio is the same, always in a blue suit.

What Wen Xishu sees is Capricorn, one of the Twelve Constellations, whom he recently met in Hujiang.

”We’re supposed to begin the entire ritual now; you’re just temporarily here.”

”I promised you and fulfilled that promise; now it’s your turn. I can not only help you smuggle, but I can also handle everything for you.”

This voice is twisted, but it still carries a touch of Capricorn’s accent.

”Begin. I also yearn to leave there and come to you.”

The image starts to become blurry and jumpy.

Like old-fashioned closed-circuit television with flickering signals.

Wen Xishu suddenly realizes this is a rhythm change... it seems the scene has been switched?

”Jin! You deceived me! You ant, dared to deceive me! You even dare to scheme against me!”

Capricorn?

Wen Xishu cannot discern, as the voice is too furious, no longer Capricorn’s previous tone. But in the image, Capricorn is indeed flickering.

This extremely stream-of-consciousness image is hard for Wen Xishu to distinguish. But he has some confidence that it’s Capricorn.

What exactly did Mr. Jin do to enrage a constellation like this?

Why does Xiaojin’s memory reveal these things?

Is Xiaojin merely a bystander?

”You despicable human! Jin! You dishonest guy, dared to scheme against me! You will not meet a good end!”

”You no longer belong there, nor do the people you rob belong to you! Do you know the consequences of scheming against me? Changes in fate require a price!!”

”Since you broke your promises first, don’t blame me for using means!”

The ritual appeared.

A blood-red triangle appeared in Wen Xishu’s vision, with three people standing at the triangle’s points.

Wen Xishu sees two people, Mr. Jin, and Capricorn.

But Wen Xishu understands that his current perspective is Xiaojin’s.

”Xiaojin... is not some reincarnation of Mr. Jin, nor a kind of clone. He is indeed an independent existence.”

”Judging by the meaning in Capricorn’s words... is he saying that Mr. Jin no longer belongs in the Bunker, and Xiaojin doesn’t belong in the Bunker either??”

Many clues emerge in Wen Xishu’s mind, and he starts piecing them together.

Albert looks at Wen Xishu and Xiaojin, who are trapped in a state of stillness, becoming uncharacteristically impatient.

Thankfully, Evelyn quickly touches Albert, dispelling the impatience.

”I know Old Jin’s secret is about to be revealed, but don’t rush, Albert; give Wen Xishu some time.”

Wen Xishu’s brows furrowed.

Without a doubt, what he now sees, or rather the truth he’s pieced together, shocks him.

”I admit, you are indeed a genius, but now you have been marked! Hahaha, you’ve been marked! This mark will follow you forever!”

”Do you think you can protect him? It’s useless! Once he recalls everything, he will be marked too!”

”Unfortunately, I cannot personally kill you, but this mark will bring you greater pain.”

”My brother will not spare you! Jin, you will pay for mocking God!”

A sense of familiarity arises.

Wen Xishu seems to return to the scene facing the Priest in the past, feeling some kind of distant surveillance.

That feeling is like a calm Hunter casting its gaze.

Perhaps in the next moment, the Hunter will find him, then draw an arrow and deliver a fatal blow.

Capricorn’s mark shields Xiaojin and Mr. Jin with that aura.

As powerful as Mr. Jin, he also senses an unbeatable force at this moment.

”I will not spare you! Do you think you’re the only sly one? Jin! There won’t be any newcomers! Hahahahaha!”

In the image, Capricorn has lost the noble air from their previous encounter, looking like someone deceived... no, desperate to regain face after defeat.

In an instant, Wen Xishu understands everything.

He suddenly opens his eyes, while Xiaojin falls unconscious.

Wen Xishu looks at Albert, as the surrounding scene slowly fades back to the appearance in the Memory Record.

Wen Xishu says:

”Principal, Senior Evelyn... Although the picture I received is very blurry, and the information is only a few key dialogues, I think I’ve uncovered the truth.”

”About why Mr. Jin dares not appear, and why there have been no newcomers in the Bunker for years.”

Wen Xishu must acknowledge:

”All along I’ve been wondering if there’s something in the Bunker that devours some powerful existences, and even considered, could it be you, the Old Principal, or Mr. Jin?”

”It turns out... it’s not, Mr. Jin indeed aligns with you, worthy of being a fellow traveler.”

”He outmaneuvered a God, toyed with Capricorn of the Twelve Constellations. I don’t know the specific process; you can ask Mr. Jin about everything.”

”I believe once you reveal my suspicions, he won’t conceal it any longer.”

”Additionally, Mr. Jin... originally was supposed to aid Capricorn in smuggling to the Three-Tower Battlefield. But he didn’t do so; instead, he tricked Capricorn and reverse-utilized Capricorn’s strength, allowing someone important originally belonging to the Three-Tower Battlefield...”

”To come to the Bunker.”

Wen Xishu directs his gaze towards Xiaojin:

”Xiaojin is this important person.”
