It seems to have felt the aura of art.
Fu Qian had also appreciated so curious handcrafted artifacts, like a real blanket woven with eyeballs.
However, compared to what was in front of him, the sense of depth was far inferior.
Although the overall arrangent was so evenly laid out, the movent of each eyeball was quite nimble, making for a particularly intriguing visual contrast.
Moreover, the various colors Fu Qian ntioned were not exaggerated: blue, green, brown, black, and even red... These eyes clearly ca from different individuals, truly embodying what it ans to be eye-catching.
Clang—
Unfortunately, ti to appreciate art was ultimately limited. Facing Fu Qian’s response, Zhao Ran let out a cold chuckle and had already put the heavy lid back in place.
Fu Qian did not think he was too stingy, unwilling to show it a bit longer.
As ntioned earlier, the eyeball blanket was clearly very lively, but even in a mont’s gaze, it had already begun to squirm, trying to crawl out.
"Believe , I was just as surprised the first ti I saw it...
"So according to your previous implication, could it be that these people, after failing to find a way out, not only carved their nas as failures but also, due to excessive remorse, gouged out their eyes and threw them inside?"
As Fu Qian turned his head to look over, Zhao Ran coldly chuckled and continued, imdiately emphasizing his empathy abilities.
"Indeed an interesting sight, but considering you’ve been here for so long, you should be sowhat familiar with the rules of this place. Is it possible that these eyeballs, like those fingers and bones, automatically aggregated here?"
Fu Qian wasn’t so easily convinced and casually showcased his understanding of the place.
"Of course, that’s possible... After all, I haven’t seen a similar aggregate elsewhere, but isn’t it too much of a coincidence?"
At that mont, Zhao Ran had a subtle sense of newfound respect, as the shock brought by Fu Qian seed to deepen further.
Without forcefully denying Fu Qian’s possibility, he chose to raise doubts from another angle.
"Are the nas carved right where the eyeballs gather? This does seem a bit too coincidental.
"So you still tend to believe that the eyeball serves as a kind of symbol, like ears or scalps cut from failures, and then the na is carved on this symbol?"
Fu Qian nodded slightly, engaging in a friendly and honest discussion.
"Correct, I think this isn’t purely a coincidence; there must be so reason these two are together."
Zhao Ran’s gaze finally fird up, allowing no dissent.
...
I think so too, most coincidences must have their reasons, even if so seemingly plausible reasons may just be coincidences.
"But then there’s still a small problem; if, according to your account, the eyeballs are symbols of failure, don’t the number of nas and eyeballs mismatched a bit?"
Observing the assassin brother who seed more inclined to think, Fu Qian this ti did not directly refute but instead posed a minor doubt.
"Isn’t that simple, most people aren’t even qualified to beco failures. Only those strong enough, after falling here, have the right for their nas to be recorded — like you, like ."
Trapped for seemingly that long, Zhao Ran had also pondered over this matter.
With a seamless logic flow, he even casually discussed heroes over wine.
"Thanks for the recognition, so what do you want to do?"
Fu Qian responded with calm acceptance and temporarily accepted the arena’s interpretation, thus ascertaining the other’s intention.
"Very simple, find them, kill them... I don’t care what it actually is, whether for pure amusent or with so hardship, they must pay for what they’ve done."
Zhao Ran’s response was determined, even his eyes showing a touch of madness, seemingly forgetting he had just advised Fu Qian not to be discovered by "them".
"I thought you wanted to tell you how to get out."
Fu Qian couldn’t hide his surprise at this reaction.
"Hehe... If it were just a short while ago, that might have been my only goal, but now, as you can see, I don’t even want to ask."
Zhao Ran’s smile was already clearly nacing.
"Just like I don’t want to ask why you voluntarily ca in... The two of us work together, and all the future gains are yours."
Thud—
As he spoke, he even jabbed the ground with the long halberd in his hand.
"Including this, which I found not far from here."
...
"Oh? This isn’t your weapon?"
The assassin brother was so generous yet Fu Qian seed doubtful, his surprised tone as if observing the long halberd for the first ti.
"Don’t play dumb, if you really ca in for the second ti, then I suspect there’s a high chance you’ve seen it."
Likewise, Zhao Ran also chose a stance of "uncertainty about Fu Qian’s second visit".
"I did see it, and it was I who stuck it there."
Finally revealing a hint of a pleased smile as if the other had passed a test, Fu Qian soon admitted with ease.
"You stuck it there? Isn’t that a bit exaggerated—"
Though skeptical of the ntioned content, Zhao Ran squinted for a mont in disbelief.
"Beside a stone pedestal."
Fu Qian provided another piece of information with an unchanged expression.
...
"It appears it doesn’t an much to you indeed."
After a mont of silence, when Zhao Ran spoke again, he had clearly accepted certain things.
"No problem, I’m still quite interested in the ’they’ you ntioned, now tell your plan."
Fu Qian’s enigmatic image stood firm, subtly indicating the other needn’t mind with a low laugh.
"Very simple, the state of ’they’ within this place is obviously different from ours; what’s certain now is that it’s likely related to that peculiar mark... And since you know the stone pedestal, you definitely also know there’s a comparatively much larger symbol there."
A bit suspicious of such generosity, yet Zhao Ran quickly presented his plan.
"Considering the symbol is centered on the stone pedestal, I believe sitting on it might cause sothing interesting to happen, like sensing where ’they’ are actually hiding."
As he spoke, he gestured to the side, and by Fu Qian’s sense of direction, he even knew Zhao Ran was indeed pointing to the chapel where Mr. Feng Sr. had stayed.
This small gesture alone seed to further prove long-term plotting.
Regarding the large symbol Zhao Ran ntioned, Fu Qian certainly rembered — the four-hand insignia ford by nurous fragnts inside the chapel.
"But there’s a problem here; considering the original owner of this weapon vanished without a trace, I worry it might be so kind of trap, where sitting there would trigger an unresolvable situation, so soone needs to be watching from the side."
Finally, Zhao Ran explained the division of labor.
