Chapter 1465: Chapter 1463: The Core of Artificial Existence (33)
"Surely you can never underestimate the Night Watchman’s execution power at any time. So, is the person dead?"
Thirteen’s news was indeed shocking. While Fu Qian marveled, he focused directly on the main point.
"Didn’t I already say execution?"
With such cautious confirmation, Thirteen looked unsurprised and asked back with a smile.
"But you also mentioned that there was a special transcendent mutation on him, I’m worried it might hinder the execution."
As they spoke, the scars on Fu Qian’s chest had completely smoothed and only seven holes remained arranged in a line.
"The changes on that guy were indeed peculiar, as if the things he consumed didn’t digest and just floated to his skin’s surface."
Appearing completely unconcerned about Fu Qian’s worries, Thirteen vividly described.
"He even grew a wing on his back, which, of course, was also composed of those things."
"Very troublesome, anyone who came into contact with him would suffer from self-origin corrosion, just like the patients in the hospital..."
"Sounds like you’re about to say ’but’."
With a pause in the speaker’s tone, Fu Qian smoothly interjected.
"That’s right. But there’s no need to worry, as the one responsible for the execution is a demigod."
Thirteen also casually caught up, speaking next with words that were impactful.
"What makes you so certain there’s only one demigod among the Night Watchmen in Los?"
Seeing Fu Qian’s thoroughly cold expression, Thirteen’s smile widened all the more.
"I know it’s a routine, but as I said before, your biggest problem is arrogance."
"If instead of rushing, you had first caused some incidents to draw out the full power of the Night Watchmen, you might have discovered this sooner."
"Overall, based on just received feedback, I am very certain that your fate will not come. You may need to replan your life."
"But you need to hurry, the time left for you is not much. Of course, you can continue waiting here to see if I’m really telling the truth."
...
Replanning destiny... another possibly arriving demigod.
To say indeed, the explanation had significant meaning, complementing the sole concern Fu Qian had.
Many things Thirteen mentioned were indeed right, such as coming here intentionally to expose oneself and lure them over.
Including subsequent perfect cooperation with Leland as well.
Step by step making the Night Watchman believe that the situation is under control, combined with the shocking discoveries related to Mr. Lek, and involving innocent bystanders, urging them to quickly ascertain the situation, do slightly risky attempts.
Naturally, when Mr. Lek was remotely guided, testing reality and illusion, the momentary "flaw" exposed, finally recognized by the astute Chief of the Night Watchman, halted the door-to-door delivery behavior in a moment’s notice.
Due to the overly astonishing display of power, considering all possibilities, directly and thoroughly eliminating the hidden dangers.
In a series of operations, the Night Watchmen performed quite well. The only problem, having seen the scene in the hospital, was Fu Qian’s slight question about whether their execution could proceed smoothly.
That mysterious creature with some of the Giant Dragon features, although hadn’t revealed a form, clearly had a high ranking.
In fact, Fu Qian believed that thing was more like the target of this journey.
That’s also why even though the task wasn’t completed, he still believed in Thirteen’s words, trusting that the mutated Mr. Lek had been executed.
All along, it seemed that Mr. Lek held significant meaning towards that mysterious creature.
Most evidently, regarding the pollution ravaging Los, Lek seemed to be the only point with spreading capability.
Eroding the existence of surrounding creatures, expanding the scope of "self", if the mysterious creature was indeed the origin of calamity, then Lek would be the perfect tool.
The reason for thinking this so adeptly is quite simple.
Defining special concepts and collecting them, it was standard Oath practice.
Even though from the previous glimpse, Fu Qian didn’t think that thing was any ancient Superior Being, it’s okay; Fu Qian himself didn’t think the Oath was initiated by it.
Mr. Lek’s peculiar performance started a few years ago, and recently it just became overly intense.
If his changes were truly due to some special oath, Fu Qian was more inclined to think the mysterious creature was a collateral gain during Mr. Lek’s pollution spreading upon establishing the oath.
All the way licking there, discovering an amazing thing.
The latter, although failing to escape pollution’s fate, due to its relatively high ranking, subtly became dominant, attempting to gain benefits from Mr. Lek’s "self".
Currently, it was just a hypothesis, but if true, Lek meant quite importantly to it, would definitely exert full force to defend, making Night Watchmen’s kill not easy.
For now, it seemed not worth worrying about this point.
...
"No need, I trust the Night Watchman’s reputation. Besides, it seems there’s no need to run away?"
Next moment, "Conspiracy Ruined" Fu Qian, with an elegant posture, waved his hand, even emphasizing his contribution.
"In this way, looking at the entire situation unified, am I not only without fault but also merited?"
"Not only helping Night Watchman discover a dangerous figure, preventing possibly arriving disaster, and not harming civilians at all throughout."
"In my hometown, there’s a saying that considers deeds not intentions. Looking at me, should I not deserve rewards?"
"Alright."
Facing the villain with such a good mindset, Thirteen’s Chief with a inexplicable smile, actually agreed.
"How about registering you at the association on that side? Saves you from continuing unlicensed operation?"
"That indeed is quite considerate... when do you act?"
Slightly nodding, Fu Qian looked very satisfied with this thoughtful suggestion.
"When you survive the pursuit."
Still a gentle tone, only the content took a 180-degree turn.
Speaking here Thirteen had already drawn two guns again, together blowing softly at her red lips.
While observing this scene, another trace of the Divine Being appeared in Fu Qian’s perception.
Surely, a dual demigod deluxe ensemble.
"Alright, then don’t forget next time."
With admiration, without caring about rapidly changing situations, Fu Qian truly accepted the terms.
And with this sentence, his figure swiftly disappeared.
"Have the traces on your body been completely cleared?"
Thirteen’s smile froze, almost synchronously expressing amazement.
Of course, did you think our Return Edict was joking?
Traces naturally referred to the tracking effect left by Leland before, only for Fu Qian, that thing was far from being an indelible mark.
Now, it’s time to find the real focus of this journey.
