Three Towers Game-Chapter 902 - 272: The Truth Behind Xiaojin’s Assassination

The people in the garden quickly dispersed.

Wenren Mirror and Xun Hui both believed Wen Xishu's words and were somewhat relieved they hadn't stepped onto the seventieth floor.

Compared to Xun Hui, Wenren Mirror was even more delighted because it seemed the matters of the Wen Family had taken a turn for the better.

Evelyn headed to the top floor, intending to find Luo Feng.

As for Wen Xishu and Albert, they remained at the school, planning to find Xiaojin that very day.

Albert's original plan was to wait two or three days for Xiaojin to reveal a flaw.

However, after receiving some information from Wen Xishu, he thought he should be more efficient.

"I believe what you said. I think Old Jin is hiding something from me. I also believe what you said, that Old Jin's heart is still in Longxia, possibly even loving Longxia more than the Bunker, but I also believe he won't harm us."

"No matter what, we'll know once we find Xiaojin."

Wen Xishu and Albert, on their way to the principal's office, planned for Jabbar to issue an order for teachers and students to assemble.

Wen Xishu asked:

"Principal, if it's found out that Xiaojin... was instructed by Mr. Jin to assassinate me, would you..."

Albert glanced at Wen Xishu:

"Some things are hard to choose between, but one is a pioneer of the past, the other is the hope for the future. I know how to choose. One cannot live in the past."

His words were straightforward, earning Wen Xishu's admiration.

Thus, he hoped everything would turn out as the old principal said, preferably not finding out that the assassination attempt he suffered was related to Mr. Jin.

Albert said:

"If in the Bunker... one day you have to choose between Old Jin and myself, I know how to choose, but I'll pray there's no such choice to make."

Wen Xishu didn't know how to respond; he could only say:

"Thank you, Principal."

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"How do you plan to find Xiaojin?"

Albert replied:

"His abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. The reason he can't be found is that he can turn into anyone."

"But it's confined to Three Towers Academy's department areas. Therefore, he's definitely hiding within." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I originally planned to take my time finding him since he's in an emotionally unstable state."

"But I don't want to wait anymore. I'll next expand my senses throughout the academy; I'll order all teachers and students to gather outside the department areas."

"The Bunker Security Bureau personnel will surround all school exits. I'll issue orders for them to guard every entry and exit point. Even if they see me, you, any colleague, or superior, as long as they come out from within, they are not to be allowed to leave."

"After that, I'll sense his presence, find him, and subdue him."

The plan sounded incredibly simple but the difficulty lay in one aspect: perception.

However, Wen Xishu absolutely did not doubt the old principal's perceptive abilities.

Wen Xishu remembered the old principal once said that as long as he was in the Bunker, no one could harm him.

He thoroughly believed in this.

...

...

The entire operation unfolded swiftly.

Wen Xishu stayed with Albert the whole time.

With the help of Jabbar's Academy Spirit, all the teachers and students quickly gathered at the campus playground.

This process only took thirty minutes.

Subsequently, Wen Xishu contacted Liu Jinsen, who promptly arranged for the Bunker Security Bureau's third team to come and guard Three Towers Academy.

Every entrance and exit was guarded by a heavily-armed team of five.

The setup resembled that of an anti-terrorism operation.

At this time, the Bunker was enveloped in a mournful atmosphere, so when this sudden event emerged, everyone was left uncertain about what had happened.

However, the larger the operation, the more cooperative people became. After all, no one wanted to be caught up in any trouble.

Once all preparations were in place, Albert's perception scanned the entire Three Towers Academy.

A few breaths later, he opened his eyes:

"Found him."

"So quickly?" Wen Xishu was a little surprised. He knew Albert was powerful, but he didn't know Albert was this powerful.

"Xiaojin's emotions may be unstable... As Old Jin's relative, even without a blood relation, I don't want to drive him to a dead end."

Albert recognized that Xiaojin must have some special significance to Old Jin. Perhaps it was also linked to the Dragon Hide Plan.

He was not against that plan, believing that the Bunker's and Longxia's god-making efforts did not conflict, as they were both aimed at humanity's return to their own land.

Unless it's absolutely necessary, Albert would not wish to harm Xiaojin.

"Come with me, let's capture him. He may try to harm you, but he won't succeed."

It felt incredibly reassuring.

Wen Xishu had to admit that climbing the Slaughter Tower was indeed necessary, especially to reach Albert's level.

...

...

Department area.

In a corner of the library.

When Wen Xishu and Albert arrived at the library, even Wen Xishu could sense that familiar presence.

Yue Yun.

Yue Yun no longer had the former coldness and seemed dazed and confused.

When he sensed Wen Xishu approaching, Yue Yun instantly looked up.

His eyes were filled with confusion, struggle, and anger.

"Die!"

Yue Yun moved.

His explosiveness was astonishing, his speed incredibly fast.

But if it was just that, even with Albert behind him, Wen Xishu alone could easily react and perfectly bounce back the attack.

Wen Xishu easily dodged.

"Xiaojin, do you not recognize me anymore?"

He didn't want Xiaojin to be an enemy, even though their time together was brief.

But Xiaojin once risked his life to save him.
