Three Towers Game-Chapter 814 - 241: Eerie Conference Admission Ticket

The meeting at the forbidden place ended quickly.

Albert happily ran off to the seventeenth floor to prepare for a meeting with Old Jin.

He probably understood Old Jin's situation and didn't expect Old Jin to immediately come out of seclusion.

But now, just like Wen Xishu, Albert was eager to dig out all of Old Jin's secrets.

As he left the garden, Albert said:

"You'd better not climb the tower for a while."

"Why? Actually, I think instead of waiting for Jin's summons... I might as well climb a tower now." Wen Xishu felt that it was about time for a new round of tower climbing.

Xun Hui and Wenren Mirror, who were following behind, immediately looked at Wen Xishu with eyes like seeing a monster upon hearing this conversation.

No matter how strong Wen Xishu currently was, his ambition made the two ashamed of their own lack of resolve.

It was no wonder that in just three months, he had gone from a death row inmate to a bunker legend.

Albert said:

"Don't rush, don't rush. Old Jin is about to go into seclusion, and I'm also unsure of what exactly his seclusion entails. Isn't he already in seclusion?"

"And once he goes into seclusion, it'll be next month at the earliest, or even longer, before he can talk to us."

"I'm worried that your next tower climb might delay your meeting with him, so this time, just don't climb the tower."

Wen Xishu really wanted to refuse. Not climbing the tower, just eating, drinking, and having fun in the bunker? Indulging in pleasure? Enjoying life? No way, that's too strange.

But if Mr. Jin could provide some explosive information, it seemed interesting.

In the end, Wen Xishu agreed.

For some reason, Albert, Xun Hui, and Wenren Mirror all breathed a sigh of relief.

...

...

Deceit Tower Academy, Dean's Office.

Wen Xishu had nothing to do for a while, so he thought about dealing with the insane student first.

He wanted to ask the Academy Spirit about that student's background.

But just as he was about to do so, the door to the Deceit Tower Academy's office had already been knocked on.

The Academy Spirit popped its head out:

"Honorable Dean, a Mr. Zheng Zai says he's your friend and wishes to see you."

Old Zheng?

Actually, it hadn't been many days since he last met Zheng Zai, but inexplicably, it felt like he hadn't seen him for a while.

"Let him in."

The Academy Spirit nodded:

"Alright, if I may, you could tell me about your social relationships so I can serve you more attentively."

Wen Xishu waved his hand:

"Maybe next time."

The Academy Spirit nodded, and soon, a familiar face appeared in Wen Xishu's sight.

Zheng Zai was still wearing the iron muzzle, making him look quite fierce.

However, he seemed a bit confused.

But the moment he saw Wen Xishu, Zheng Zai was genuinely happy.

"Old Zheng, you've come at the right time. I was just about to look for you."

Wen Xishu was also smiling happily.

Zheng Zai was even happier upon hearing that "Old Zheng."

Honestly, he was very afraid that after meeting Wen Xishu again, he would find that there was a regrettable barrier between them, and he would have to respectfully call him: Dean Wen.

"Younger Brother Wen, your Deceit Tower Academy is fascinating!"

Zheng Zai sat across from Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:

"Sit for a while, and after a brief rest, I'll show you around?"

"Sure, sure."

Scratching his head, Zheng Zai decided to get straight to the point:

"Younger Brother Wen, I came to thank you this time... and I found something that I think might allow us to fight side by side once?"

Wen Xishu was intrigued. He didn't actually mind exploring the Deceit Tower with Zheng Zai. But the problem is, it's tough to form a team for exploring the Deceit Tower.

Could it be that Old Zheng found some kind of team equipment?

Zheng Zai didn't immediately bring up the team matter but first spoke somewhat seriously:

"My father... is no longer a criminal. I have to thank you, Younger Brother Wen, without you, even in death, he would still be a criminal."

Saying this, Zheng Zai stood up, prepared to bow to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu immediately helped Zheng Zai up:

"What's the point of such a big gesture between friends?"

Zheng Zai shook his head:

"Have I told you about my past? I once worked very hard to change my situation, to clear my father's name."

"I participated in the Culture and Sports Bureau's competitions. I climbed the Slaughter Tower and eventually started climbing the Deceit Tower, all to bring attention to my father's case..."

"But that time, the woman climbing the tower with us told me that my father was already dead."

Wen Xishu still remembered. At that time, it was quite moving.

Zheng Zai said that this world had an invisible mountain that never ended no matter how much one climbed. He climbed one step, and the mountain grew two steps higher.

At that time, Wen Xishu thought that he might end up the same way, with the Security Bureau eating away at him.

But later on, he climbed so fast that he quickly reached the summit.

Zheng Zai said:

"My father did indeed die. Younger Brother Wen, after you became a bunker legend, everyone associated with you received recognition."

"It's the same for me. Ironically... in the past, I was always suppressed by the Culture and Sports Bureau. Whatever honors I achieved, they ignored."

"Even if I got first place..."

"But now, the leader of the Culture and Sports Bureau came to apologize. Because public opinion started to overturn my past case!"

"Because I'm also a hero, as the friend of a bunker legend, I must be great too."

"The backstage dealings of the Culture and Sports Bureau at that time were covered extensively by the media under Officer Liu Jinsen..."

"People began to sympathize with my past. Suddenly, I became a hero with a tragic past who finally experienced a bitter struggle and sweet success."
