Chapter 2166: Chapter 2161: Confinement (35)
Fierce Man, so you’ve looked at each one directly, right?
Although children’s reasons for rebellion are often inexplicable, the power of rebellion is indeed not to be underestimated.
Supported by imagination, they directly find such places, even crawling into dark cabinets without making a sound.
Ever since she jumped out, Fu Qian had guessed the execution capabilities of this young girl.
Facts proved she was spot on; not only did she come to observe if there were any evil acts, she even went in and confirmed each one directly.
If Dennis’s peril is largely due to her, she at least takes on some responsibility with courage.
You...
Unfortunately, not every adult is so tolerant; what the girl disclosed last left Tia stunned.
"So are you going to call the police? What’s your name?"
But her shock was far from over.
Fu Qian nodded repeatedly at the girl’s words and even linked it to his own duties.
Ah?
The girl seemed a bit surprised.
Clearly, when she said those words earlier, she was prepared to be considered a lunatic, yet this person actually seemed to agree?
"Just as I’m here, I can directly investigate this malicious incident and even mobilize the whole hospital to help find your missing companion."
Seeing her remain silent, Fu Qian continued to emphasize the benefits of following formal procedures, even his own identity.
"Emily, are you a cop?"
The girl seemed to understand but wasn’t quite convinced, introducing herself with a skeptical look.
"Yes, does it not look like it?"
Fu Qian showed the weapon on his waist.
Moreover, the name matched the data mentioned by Huck on the road.
Well, it really doesn’t look like it...
Now not just the girl Emily, even Tia had a similar expression.
"I hope you’re not lying to me."
However, this did not stop Emily from making a decision.
She appeared to have reached the limit of her patience and couldn’t wait any longer.
"Wait a minute, this is too crazy, just thinking randomly...the whole hospital would collapse."
Seeing things progressing so efficiently to this stage, Tia found it hard to sit still.
"Wasn’t it you who said not to wait here but to ask the hospital for help?"
Unfortunately, the girl still responded with a cold smile, lazily responding, while Fu Qian directly pulled out the previous chat record.
...
How can that be the same...
Looking at Fu Qian who glanced over, although she didn’t respond, Tia’s face could reveal a deep sense of helplessness.
One involves finding corpses and responsible neglect, while the other directly involves a homicide case...
"And have you considered that it might actually harm Dennis?"
However, considering the previous communication experience, Tia obviously didn’t have any confidence in convincing the new police officer, and the next moment she locked directly on the girl calling the police.
"Even if there is indeed the situation you mentioned, ’they’ would absolutely not give your companion a chance to speak when destroying evidence...isn’t it better to check with a simpler reason—"
"Simple reasons only bring simple results."
Unfortunately, her painstaking advice was completely rejected the next moment.
The girl sneered again, clearly seeing through the essence of stalling for time.
"I brought Dennis to this place; today, no matter what, I plan to take him away."
And the calm declaration that followed eloquently demonstrated her determination.
Very good.
Faced with such a scene, Fu Qian couldn’t help but praise——
As the Old Hunter pretending to be a rebellious girl, my rival also spent significant resources.
And if I guessed correctly, my current life is truly like a candle flickering in the wind.
...
Indeed, Fu Qian isn’t too convinced the person in front is truly Emily from the two missing individuals.
Even though he hadn’t seen them.
Regardless of Inner World or Surface World, dead or alive.
The girl’s narrative sounds relatively logical.
Two quarreling young people wander aimlessly together, and after arguing, they part ways.
The boy stumbled into a madman, while the other couldn’t let go, starting to search for a companion with youthful obsession.
It’s smooth, and even aligns with some discoveries——
The discarded jacket, the thawing corpse, and indeed no corpse of Dennis in the underground passage of the real world.
As for Yiven? The latter’s corpse is fresher, if she left early enough, that situation indeed may not have been there.
And if the girl came out from the exit he discovered, it aligns with Brother Tantou’s information, which states only people were seen entering, not leaving.
Even in that room, there’s indeed a series of footprints near the window peering afar.
Everything seems to fit, but...everything fears preconceived notions.
My choice for the hospital as the next stop, the core motivation is "my rival might think I would come here."
This trip originated from casting the net, so any encountered situations cannot rule out being meticulously designed.
Even my recent agreement to let Rachel stay put, only accompanying Tia here was to increase the net’s manifestation probability.
Compared to Rachel, the latter is more likely to have already lost the Inner World’s anchor point, hence I chose her as the world switch detector.
But as lamented before, insight too refined leads to exhaustion.
Always carrying the detector, how can one unconsciously step into the Inner World?
Indeed, from Fu Qian’s judgment, in this moment, there’s considerable probability, similar to the Art Prison, that already located in the world possessing Extraordinary Elements, upon entering here with Tia.
And judging from previous situations, in that dimension, my rival seems to have the ability to change appearance.
In conclusion, this is also a logically valid possibility.
Just like Emily’s earlier rhetorical question—ridiculous, but can you refute it?
...
Both are hard to refute.
Preconceptions must respect facts, and though Fu Qian has his inclinations, he won’t deny that the girl’s reactions are genuine, lacking enough evidence to disprove her.
Meanwhile, one thing is easy to determine, if it truly is my rival’s orchestrated net, then the danger level of my situation is more than dancing on a knife edge can describe—Fu Qian chose to continue the music and keep dancing.
Continuously playing his role, methodically inducing, until proposing the final suggestion.
Unfortunately, with Emily’s continuous performance perhaps convincing, her final choice however exposed something.
What did Mr. Huck Sr. mention? Increasingly finding young people’s thoughts hard to understand.
It seems reasonable.
Obsession, rebellion, restlessness, my rival earnestly portrayed a teenager.
But this "Old Hunter" perhaps is too distant from that age, unaware that regardless of outward awkwardness and mutual harm, the core driving force for two young opposite sexes willing to do such things is always mutual appreciation.
The scheme that risks poor Dennis taking more risks, the real Emily would likely not be so resolutely persistent.
Or call it the hysteria imagined by adults.
