Chapter 1186: Chapter 1184 Advanced Animals (13)
“What on earth is going on?”
Following beside, Yuan Shan was undoubtedly confused.
Unfortunately, her teacher at this mont looked sowhat vacant, as if still caught in the mont when those chips disappeared, filled with a sense of loss.
“Please thank Midas for .”
Fu Qian was also looking for trouble. Facing Yuan Shan’s curious gaze, he seed to rember sothing, took out his phone from his pocket, and threw it to Ross nearby.
This person, who had followed all along, had always looked a bit peculiar, and seed familiar with Henry.
Of course, as he caught the phone Fu Qian tossed, his expression beca even stranger.
“Didn’t you just… thank already?”
He blinked and asked the next mont.
“Yes, but I am worried it won’t be conveyed properly, wishing you luck on your mission.”
Fu Qian smiled in response, said no more, and then departed.
…
“Wasn’t that Midas earlier?”
Forced to walk a few steps, Yuan Shan suddenly realized sothing and could not help but whisper lowly.
This was truly unexpected, but she clearly rembered what Fu Qian just said—worried about not being conveyed.
That ant he believed the person guiding him along the way was not Midas himself.
Considering Ross’s reaction, the speculation seed to be true.
How could this be, how did he know about this?
“It shouldn’t be, right?”
Fu Qian looked at Old Master Henry, seeing that he was still sowhat absent, even offering comfort.
“It’s alright, I asked for opinions, and I’m not soone who shirks responsibility easily.”
Humph!
Old Master Henry finally snapped back to reality a bit.
“You’re right, that wasn’t Midas.”
“But you said it was okay.”
Knowing her teacher’s temperant well, Yuan Shan of course realized that although he looked upset, his intent to kill had apparently vanished.
Though still puzzled, she felt sowhat relieved.
The most direct expression was that her tone beca quite rude.
After all, the experience tonight was not very pleasant.
“It’s okay not because of that phone call, but because of that stack of chips.”
“Mr. Fang wasn’t resting to keep a low profile, he was specifically waiting for .”
Henry shook his head and sighed.
“Whether it’s Midas speaking or not isn’t important, having such unreasonable luck is.”
“Now I’m curious, how did you know so much?”
“Maybe because I’m a cultural worker,”
Even facing a scrutiny from a Second Phase, Fu Qian still nonchalantly made up stories.
“Of course, I wasn’t so sure at the beginning, after going around with the question of why you wanted to do this, I then vaguely had a guess.”
“If there’s a deep connection with the Prism of Radiant Transformation, like you, I wouldn’t be able to et Midas, right?”
“Hmm… indeed, it’s indeed ti for to fulfill my promise.”
This question made Henry silent for a few seconds, finally showing understanding.
“Right, if you’re like , contaminated by that na, then Midas will never appear before you.”
Contamination, Old Master Henry sure dared to say it!
Henry’s answer made Fu Qian’s heart stir, recalling that fat cat.
“What on earth is happening?”
On the side, Yuan Shan was already freaking out.
“I can sowhat imagine your posture when handling this incident in Shangjing.”
Henry looked at his student, his gaze filled with contempt.
“Let Mr. Fang tell you, after all, his performance tonight was truly spectacular, I need to organize my words.”
“And I think you are probably used to it.”
…
Facing the teacher’s comnts, Yuan Shan’s face turned red imdiately.
She understood naturally; it was a mockery of her being the chief of Shangjing, always acting with an external brain.
The key point was that even this statent couldn’t be refuted, because there was an example right in front of her eyes.
“It’s simple.”
As a strategist, Fu Qian knew well the dangers of overshadowing one’s masters and thus, he didn’t beat around the bush.
“The reason I was so certain it wasn’t Midas on the phone, is because there simply is no Midas.”
…Hmm?
Chief Yuan was certainly not so ignorant girl, and this strange remark by Fu Qian instantly sparked many speculations in her, lighting up her eyes.
“Transcendent category?”
“Hard to say, considering mass hysteria exists.”
Fu Qian blinked.
“But clearly, he’s shy and sensitive, only existing within the perception of specific individuals.”
“I think I understand a bit… But to exist in perception, not even counting as a ghost? Is there such a thing?”
Yuan Shan frowned, not pretending to understand when she didn’t.
“Why wouldn’t there be.”
When Fu Qian spoke, he thought of the Native Council he had dealt with on nurous occasions.
The imagination-defying hiding thods of Nepheli were also a reference point for his current speculations.
Only, it seed that Midas was a bit more pure.
“You’ve visited my bookstore quite a few tis, there’s one question, do the characters in a book exist when you are reading it?”
…
This statent made Yuan Shan blush even more for a mont since she had visited many tis indeed, but seed to have never actually flipped open a book to check.
But the latter part of the statent…
“If that’s the case, then in so way, he does exist, conceived by my imagination.”
Having seen and known much, Yuan Shan was not rigid in her thinking about bizarre matters.
“Well said, then another question, if no one in the whole world has read the book, do the characters exist?”
“They probably don’t exist…”
This was even more abstract, and Yuan Shan mulled over it for a long ti before answering with little confidence.
“Are you saying that these people like Mogrim, Ross, and Ah Lan are the readers of this book? Midas was born because of them?”
“Correct, you’re catching on.”
Fu Qian’s face showed appreciation.
“But they indeed made money from it…”
“Haven’t the characters in a book given you gains? Made you transcend yourself at so mont?”
“…I think I understand your point now.”
A long silence ensued until, under Old Master Henry’s lead, the three of them entered another church as if they were entering an uninhabited place, and Yuan Shan finally spoke again.
“The perception in these people’s will pieced together the character of Midas, like co-authors of a story.”
“The only difference is, they do not doubt the authenticity of the content.”
“Including the person on the phone just now, he also believes he is indeed answering your questions under Midas’ guidance.”
“Not only that, but from what we know so far, they probably have devised a plan for the casino under ‘Midas” guidance.”
Facing Chief Yuan’s brilliant performance, Fu Qian clapped his hands.
“It’s truly incredible… The key point is, this character’s luck is real, as the pile of chips you won just now proves.”
“Even though I was with you earlier, I know you didn’t cheat.”
Yuan Shan continued in a low voice, her thoughts becoming smoother.
“This is also why the teacher knew at a glance that you really ‘found’ Midas and communicated with him.”
“If you went to grab the person on the other end of the phone, it wouldn’t prove anything…”
“But why does this prove that you don’t have a deep connection with Prism of Radiant Transformation?”
As she spoke, Yuan Shan looked towards her own teacher.
“Simple, because Old Master Henry, who needs others to help him catch rats, is an illiterate.”
Seeing Old Master Henry’s serious expression, Fu Qian answered for him.
“Or to use the earlier statent, for Midas, he is ‘dirty’.”
