Chapter 36 Team formation
The person who answered the phone was Liu Jinsen. With the help of the sixth-level prop “Mysterious President Calling”, the scenes around Liu Jinsen also appeared in the projection.

Liu Jinsen was still the same, with a cold and meticulous expression.

Sha Ruijing next to him also had a smile on his face, just like last time, with a bit of flattery in his expression.

“Wen Xishu, I’m here to tell you that you have to log into the Weird Tower before four o’clock this afternoon.”

Liu Jinsen doesn’t say a word of nonsense.

Wen Xishu said:
“How can I atone for my sins? I have already fulfilled the task of exploring the strange tower as you said.”

“Logically speaking, my merits and demerits should have been offset, right? I also saved countless lives. Now that the Bunker Security Bureau doesn’t want to reward me, it’s fine, but they’re actually asking me to take risks?”

Liu Jinsen looked ashamed, which surprised Wen Xishu.

“I’m sorry, I misjudged how much the higher-ups wanted you…or the secret you hold.”

“At present, except for the Second and Sixth Bureaus of the Security Bureau, the other four bureaus all want to interrogate you, including the five bureaus of the Political Affairs Bureau, who also hope to capture you.”

“Thanks to the intervention of the old principal and the efforts of the Second Director and the Sixth Director, you are temporarily safe.”

“You can study in the Three Towers Academy, or you can move around in the bunker like a free man.”

“Currently, no department may apply for a warrant for your arrest, nor does it have the power to arrest you.”

“All this is thanks to your contribution to the grassroots. Sha Ruijing also made a lot of efforts in this matter. The three words Wen Xishu are now extremely sacred in the grassroots.”

Liu Jinsen said this and looked at Sha Ruijing.

Wen Xishu didn’t expect that Sha Ruijing could do such a big thing.

Although I don’t know how famous I am among the lower classes, and I don’t know how Sha Ruijing operates…

But since Liu Jinsen mentioned it specifically, and brought Sha Ruijing along for this kind of phone call, it was probably just to let him know that Sha Ruijing made an indelible contribution.

Wen Xishu said:
“Thank Sha Shu…oh no, Comrade Sha Ruijing for me. I will repay him if I have the chance in the future.”

Sha Ruijing seemed to know that Wen Xishu on the other end of the phone could see them, so he waved at Wen Xishu with a smile on his face.

Wen Xishu returned to the topic:
“But I guess whether it’s me or Sha Ruijing who did it, it’s not enough, right?”

Liu Jinsen nodded:
“I’m sorry…it’s really not enough.”

“The issues involved here are very complicated, Wen Xishu, I can only tell you that you are now a pawn in a multi-party game.”

Anyone who is called a chess piece would be unhappy, but Wen Xishu was not annoyed.

“Okay Sir Liu, tell me, what else do I need to do?”

Liu Jinsen said:
“Become stronger.”

Wen Xishu was stunned at first, but then he understood. This is really a statement with high emotional intelligence.

Liu Jinsen continued:
“Next you have to keep getting stronger, but you should know how to get stronger.”

“Bunker Security Bureau, we hope you can explore the spooky tower within a fixed time period, the exact time interval is seven days.”

“After each exploration of the strange tower, you have seven days to rest and adjust. After seven days, you will explore the strange tower again.”

“Wen Xishu, I personally hate Wen Chaohua very much. The crimes he committed are too numerous to list. But I don’t hate you. Especially since you saved the lives of countless people at the bottom not long ago.”

“If I could, I would use my career to protect you, but I am too insignificant to do that.”

“Even if I risk everything, I can’t change the decision of the people above me.”

“Seven days after seven days, it is foreseeable that you will continue to be in danger.”

“But I believe that based on your first performance, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Perhaps in the future, in terms of your achievements in tower climbing alone… you will surpass Wen Chaohua.”

“I think that at that time, some decisions made by the Security Bureau will become cautious.”

“May you become a legend in the bunker.”

At this time, Wen Xishu glanced at the old lunatic Albert who was drinking red wine and shaking his head behind him.

Wen Xishu was silent for a while and said:

“Can you tell me what Wen Chaohua did?”

Although Albert refused to answer Wen Xishu’s question not long ago, when Wen Xishu asked Liu Jinsen, Albert did not stop him.

The old principal still had that leisurely expression on his face.

Liu Jinsen was silent for a while and said:

“Countless people… tower climbers in the bunker, including many on the ladder leaderboard, died because of him. He also caused some nearly irreversible losses in the exploration of the three towers.”

“I promised the old principal that I can’t tell you more.” Wen Xishu glanced at Albert, and Albert smiled and waved to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said helplessly:
“Okay, I get it. Do you have anything else to add about our tower climb this afternoon?”

Liu Jinsen hummed:
“Yes, you have already been to the three towers once, so this time, after you start the login device… you will go to the rest area.”

“The function of rest area…”

Wen Xishu interrupted and said:

“I know the purpose of the rest area. It’s a place to sell intelligence, prepare for battle, and form a team.”

Liu Jinsen said:
“Well, what I want to say is that this time, there will be quite a few people in the rest area of ​​the Weird Tower.”

“Most of these people are death row prisoners or exiles. Some… well, some of them are ‘our own people’.”

“You should know that people of the same level and the same mission can team up in the rest area.”

Wen Xishu chuckled softly and roughly guessed what was going on.

Liu Jinsen said:
“It’s fine if you don’t meet the team requirements, but if you do… the higher-ups hope you’ll accept the team application.”

Wen Xishu asked curiously:
“If I meet the requirements but I refuse to join the team… will the higher-ups know? They are not in the rest area.”

Liu Jinsen said in a serious tone:
“Yes. There are many special props in this world, such as the phone you are using now, which belongs to the old principal.”

“There are also some props that can deconstruct some of the data in the login device. I even heard that in the highest functional level of the bunker, there is a room where various indicators can be viewed.”

“So, don’t choose to disobey. Wen Xishu, I know you must be reluctant, but I am not advising you from the standpoint of the Security Bureau. When you are not strong enough, it is best to choose to adapt to the environment first.”

Wen Xishu understood.

When exploring the three towers, it is unknown which floor or area to go to.

The Tower of Desire and the Tower of Trick can only be teamed up if they are in the same area and have the same mission.

In other words, as long as you are the only one who has received a certain task at a certain time period, you cannot team up with anyone else.

And even if they can form a team, the teammates may not necessarily be the “monitors” arranged by the top management.

But there is always this possibility.

As long as the top management assigns enough people, and as long as I explore the strange tower enough times…

Then there will always be a time when you may team up with these people arranged by the top management.

Once you form a team and become teammates, the process of exploring the strange tower may be recorded.

The top leaders tried their best to obtain the secret about Wen Chaohua.

Even if it’s just a tiny probability, they are willing to arrange many exiles, death row prisoners… and even death squads to take a gamble.

Wen Xishu now believes more and more that Wen Chaohua has something that the top leaders desperately desire.

Wen Xishu said:
“What if I happen to be able to form a team, but I’m in the spooky tower and I kill all my teammates?”

This was said frankly and honestly. The nonchalant attitude when talking about killing teammates made Liu Jinsen stunned.

Liu Jinsen suddenly had an idea: Could it be that there are demons living in the hearts of the two brothers of the Wen family?

Albert also narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wen Xishu.

Liu Jinsen still answered truthfully:
“Please don’t do this. Most of the people who explore the spooky tower are criminals, but it does not rule out a few who choose to fight to the death in order to change their fate. Just like you.”

“Some people are innocent. Even if they are prisoners, they have already redeemed themselves the moment they choose to enter the spooky tower.”

“You can’t know whether the people who team up with you are here for you or for freedom and wealth.”

“If it’s the latter, then they can die at the hands of the monsters in the strange tower, but they should never die at the hands of their own people.”

Wen Xishu did not refute this statement.

In fact, when Liu Jinsen said please don’t do this, the question he raised already had an answer.

Wen Xishu certainly knew that some people were not destined to die, but if they were in a situation where he would die if they did not die, he knew very well that he would not have any mercy at all.

“Okay Sir Liu, I am a person without any violent tendencies. I won’t do that kind of thing. I have never used violence in the Ghost Tower.”

At least the second half of the sentence was true. He did not use violence in the Ghost Tower.

He only used it in the Desire Tower.
