Did they even leave usage instructions? Isn’t that a bit too considerate?
The scenario described by the Crystal was so vivid that Fu Qian could easily picture it.
However, behind this naturalness, upon closer inspection, there was a clear elent of the unnatural.
The Prophet is dead... Combining this with the Crystal’s description, the information received from the Lord earlier seed to be completed.
The situation over in room 802 was apparently in so legendary state of superposition between life and death.
Although Yuan Fang made one last broadcast before he "died," for the seasoned folks of the worldly society, it’s inevitable to harbor doubts if there’s no body or live presence to confirm.
But leaving aside whether the person is really dead or not, this sowhat abstract act of leaving instructions doesn’t quite match Yuan Fang’s style.
Though his appearance was rather average, from the dealings so far, he seed reliable in his actions.
If it were really as the legacy claid, that Yuan Fang believed a new era had co, the dark tis of the Unseen Hillock had passed, and even that strange door was his doing, then the instructions should have been more detailed.
It’s not simply a matter of trust between people; just a little thought reveals what that door and that sentence an to the lost lambs who lost their Prophet.
Trust, or not?
If you trust, freedom is right before your eyes. The outside world is exciting, just take a step to leave the cage. What are you waiting for?
Yet there are many reasons to distrust. The natives clearly know Yuan Fang better than oneself, so it’s completely normal to worry about sothing fishy going on—but what can worry achieve?
As long as the door is there, the itch in the heart won’t disappear. Even if you co up with a thousand reasons proving it’s a trap, the inner tornt is inevitably sothing you have to bear.
Even wanting to destroy that thing to avoid the tornt isn’t easy because soone will definitely stop you.
Even if speculated as so kind of trap, the anxious observers will only allow you to risk your life exploring instead of destroying the path.
Almost cynically, a small sentence has dragged the Unseen Hillock into the abyss of ga theory.
"Yuan Fang’s legacy is left for everyone?"
Sighing inwardly, Fu Qian casually confird with the Crystal.
This place may have a few too many Demigods, but not enough to affect the population density.
The Crystal ntioned that many places are desolate because too many people have gone on a pilgrimage, and the majority appears to be the general populace.
"It seems so at the mont."
The Crystal nodded with so heaviness.
"So did you hear it?"
Fu Qian’s response was to glance at Catherine, inviting her into the conversation.
...
Ah... ?
In the only previous encounter, Catherine’s deanor wasn’t exactly that of a pious devout.
Still rembered from being touched, there was not even a mont’s delay before she publicly slapped soone, then imdiately transford and devoured soone on the spot.
However, currently nicknad "Vanilla," she seed quite peaceful, and being called out made her feel sowhat honored.
Indeed, the pressure from the two Demigods was substantial; few dared to act rashly. But such a massive change in attitude could indicate that her state was already unstable at the ti?
Fu Qian didn’t push but simply remarked that the appearance of the new era improved everyone’s ntal state.
"Sorry, sir... I genuinely have no concept of this area; perhaps it’s due to acting purely on instinct with unclear consciousness."
After so hesitation, Catherine shook her head cautiously, her words humble.
"She’s not lying. When the Prophet left his legacy, she probably hadn’t been reborn yet."
The Crystal followed up, supporting Catherine’s answer.
"And what about Akasha?"
Fu Qian nodded slightly, neither affirming nor refuting.
"That’s precisely why I’m here saying so much to you. I’m very interested in verifying what you want to know... Akasha’s disappearance and the Prophet’s legacy were almost simultaneous."
The Crystal was forthright, pointing out the unusualness and expressing interest in whether the Prophet truly died.
"So that’s how it is... So, so far no one who has entered that door has co out?"
If the Crystal was rely joyous from reuniting with an old friend, leading them to chat this long, Fu Qian never believed that.
Both parties rely discover and exploit value in each other, and now that the other party even openly stated this, the exchange efficiency was greatly improved, making him quite satisfied.
With the help of the Crystal Demigod, sorting out the tiline bit by bit, Fu Qian’s focus shifted to the crucial issue.
"How do you know?"
The forr was truly a bit surprised this ti.
...
"It’s simple. First, soone must have already entered, yet you’re all still hesitating here. The only explanation I can think of is that it’s a situation of no return where no feedback is received."
The Grand Fate Ming Emperor’s profound mystery still climbing, and even seed to evoke so suspicion from the Crystal in that mont, but Fu Qian imdiately provided a purely logical explanation.
"Why must soone have entered? Don’t you also find the situation suspicious?"
The Crystal wasn’t ready to buy it easily.
"Anyone would be suspicious, but even if you’re not going in, you can throw soone in to see the reaction—hasn’t this been done?"
Fu Qian glanced over with a semi-smile.
"No... but I’ve observed it, seeing more than one person being tossed in.
"It is indeed the situation you ntioned: no return, no descent, no screams, not even blood; the people who were thrown in simply vanished—"
After a brief silence, the Crystal seed genuinely hit by this.
"Just like when the outsiders leave here."
And as soon as the words ca out, Fu Qian followed up with a summary.
"Yes, though those mists outside the city currently seem ineffective—did you encounter any anomalies during your entry?"
Frankly admitting Fu Qian’s claim, at so point the Crystal directly drew the topic to him, appearing like a query that had been held back for a long ti.
"Unfortunately, I ca through a green channel."
Fu Qian sighed, implying that not everyone is the sa.
"Let’s go."
Even before the Crystal had ti to feel disappointed, he had already stood up.
You...
It was abrupt, yet strangely compelling, almost causing the listeners to lose their posture.
"Let’s go see that door."
Without even waiting for questions, Fu Qian continued his explanation.
"...You really intend to go in?"
The Crystal seed sowhat incredulous.
"There’s no one more suitable than , right?"
As he spoke, Fu Qian had already put on the mask again, covering his slightly eerie smile.
"Isn’t sharing all this with just your hope that I’d do this?"
