Chapter 2427: Chapter 2422: The Prophet Is Dead (33)

Lady Crystal once said her nose is very keen.

However, from the moment Akasha appeared until now, it has been a while, yet there is no sign of the Demigod coming over.

According to Amber, due to the special circumstances, even though she emerged on the other side of the door, it doesn’t mean Lady Crystal would disappear from this side.

So this behavior seems somewhat unreasonable.

However, by carefully sniffing the scent of the Spider Queen, Fu Qian seemed to find the answer.

Of course, it’s not as simple as changing shampoo; for Akasha, the scent on her is evidently a manifestation of the Transcendent.

In Fu Qian’s judgment, if an ordinary Transcendent were to sit so close, they might inevitably become infatuated over time.

Although there are similar effects, this fragrance was indeed different from what he smelled last time.

Is it a manual adjustment or, like the Black Doctor, the result of some special acquisition?

It’s hard to determine, but it seems to indeed assist Akasha in concealing herself.

This allows her to remain undetected even while operating on this side of the door.

"Yes, and also because of the eggs on Lady Crystal, I can inversely sense her position and avoid her if necessary."

This topic finally seemed to be free from secrecy.

After a brief thought, Akasha genuinely admitted Fu Qian’s statement and even provided additional information.

Stealth combined with vision? In such circumstances, finding someone would indeed be difficult for Lady Crystal.

Fu Qian nodded slightly and for a moment, felt deep sympathy for her predicament.

"So where exactly are we going?"

Clearly, Akasha didn’t want to continue talking and quickly brought the topic back.

"Let’s see where the carriage takes us."

It looked like Fu Qian had already considered the answer, although the answer...

"What, didn’t you say I could do whatever I want?"

Seeing the Spider Queen’s face stiffen slightly, Fu Qian blinked and brought up the line the other had said.

But isn’t this a bit too casual?

Though Akasha didn’t voice it, the emotion she communicated was quite clear.

Not only are we taking public transportation, but we’re also letting it take us wherever it goes?

Even for a mysterious outsider, let alone any native, under the current circumstances, it’s hard to have such a carefree attitude.

So there was no trust in it, of course, but the problem was...

In the silence, Akasha seemed to be waiting for the other person beside her to reveal their hand, indicating that it was just a joke earlier.

However, as the carriage steadily passed through intersection after intersection, this game of patience seemed to have no end.

...

Why lose composure?

Not bothered by Akasha’s silence, Fu Qian quietly mapped out the route in his mind at that moment.

The current situation indeed looked somewhat dire, but it didn’t affect the fact that what he said earlier was true.

Fu Qian was indeed prepared to go with the flow and see where the carriage would take him.

Although Akasha didn’t believe his words, Fu Qian expressed a certain degree of trust in what she said—for that team, it didn’t matter what he did.

In Fu Qian’s view, Akasha’s response after appearing was likely not a bluff, but in a sense, an open strategy.

In the beginning, he deliberately wandered around wearing the Grand Fate Ming Emperor’s mask.

The purpose was simple: to let Ah Wei, who might already be thriving here, know of his arrival as soon as possible, thereby triggering some movement.

After all, this mission was filled with peculiarities, and every resource needed to be utilized wisely.

Even past grievances could be harnessed for their value.

And although there were some twists along the way, with Brother Ah Wei seemingly nowhere to be seen at one point, it turned out in the end he didn’t disappoint.

It’s hard to say that Akasha’s current behavior doesn’t reflect his will.

Coupled with the fact that Fu Qian didn’t hide Andiel’s identity, and directly acted decisively behind the door within the Unfinished Hill, ending lives.

No matter what the team’s aim was, no matter what they speculated his intentions were, they wouldn’t dismiss his potential for destruction.

In such circumstances, Akasha’s risky appearance must have been done with meticulous consideration and with clear objectives.

Merely following and observing seemed almost impossible.

The earlier events had probably already proven that they didn’t need an implanted person to monitor his movements.

So what could be the purpose? Revenge?

Though Brother Ah Wei had a bit of a temper, it’s unlikely he would lose his composure like this.

Especially since due to special reasons, they had remained hidden for so long, coming out in a hurry now to settle personal grudges.

Misleading him to prevent interference with their plans?

At first glance, it seems reasonable, but in all honesty, to Fu Qian, the probability wasn’t high.

Given his unpredictable style and previous records, even lying might backfire, while remaining silent and avoiding contact might be more prudent.

Or... are they planning to utilize him?

Yes, that’s the answer Fu Qian was more inclined toward.

What was said earlier might be true or false, but at the core, could it be possible that they want to derive value from his actions within their plans?

Here lies a point of concern—what differentiates him most from other characters—a role as an outsider.

An outsider whose actions are less constrained, thus capable of potentially disrupting the operation of the Unseen Hillock.

So, is there a chance that any overreaction upon learning about their plan would actually be beneficial to them?

Even if he chose to do nothing, it wouldn’t matter; the opposing side would have circumvented his interference in a more forceful manner.

With this consideration, Fu Qian made a special decision—to try listening to Ji Feng’s opinion.

The Clown mentioned that the carriage was the most expressive element of the Unseen Hillock’s will, so he would ride it and see where it would lead.

Apart from this somewhat esoteric interpretation, another outcome was to observe what the team’s reaction would be to such aimless behavior—

"Get ready to disembark."

At one moment, Fu Qian suddenly broke the silence, watching a certain place through the small window of the carriage.

...

We’re getting off here?

Unlike Fu Qian’s leisurely demeanor, although her face was equally calm and composed, Akasha’s original situation must have been somewhat torturous.

Anyone with a working brain would know that no matter how perfectly they were praised, the outsider beside would not furrow a brow when it’s time to strike.

Yet it turned out this nerve-wracking journey was about to end just like that?

"Is that so... I understand."

Without disagreement, Akasha followed his gaze.

What lay before was not a particularly bustling place, just slightly busier than other areas, with even drunken men stumbling about.

Yes, it was a bar.
