Isn’t this road to freedom a bit dark?
There was truly no instance of free-falling; at that mont, Fu Qian realized he was still standing firmly on the ground, but had lost his vision.
Crystal was right; the mont his entire being crossed the door, a transformation instantly occurred.
It wasn’t too uncomfortable, just that everything was engulfed by darkness.
Considering his eyes were functioning well, Fu Qian leaned towards the possibility of being in so kind of dark room.
Of course, he wasn’t about to rashly attribute it to the Witch’s "Dark Night".
Solvable by the lack of a light source, elevating the situation is a serious waste of resources.
Moreover, the next mont, Fu Qian didn’t even try turning on the light but wandered a few steps in the darkness just by feel.
This feeling was undoubtedly unpleasant; don’t forget, Extraordinary Perception was already insulated, and now eyesight was gone too.
But that would be for ordinary people; Fu Qian, on the other hand, enjoyed it quite a bit, even clenching one hand, feeling the emptiness within.
Indeed, it seed quite successful; after passing the Gate of Freedom, the Sheep-headed Demon gained freedom and vanished in an instant.
The Amber given by Lady Crystal was still there, showing no peculiar reaction.
Tap!
At a certain mont, Fu Qian’s empty hand bumped into sothing, and he imdiately stopped walking.
The tactile feedback was average, yet he could discern it was made of wood, and even its shape—tap! tap!
Fu Qian tapped twice more into the void with his fingers.
It was indeed a recliner.
For a mont, Fu Qian sighed internally and began advancing according to so rembered layout.
And after turning ninety degrees again, he precisely pressed his hand against a wall.
Was it really room 802?
Matching completely with his mory, Fu Qian took a few more steps, and the next mont, he landed on sothing soft, even finding himself a sofa.
What a sha, even though sitting comfortably, the Prophet never ca over for a friendly conversation.
Indeed, it seed to be the dwelling of the vanished Prophet.
Having clearly stepped outside, and yet appearing inside? The situation seed to be becoming delicate.
...
Crystal and the others might be anxious about whether the Gate of Freedom was genuine.
But for Fu Qian, he never questioned it.
Don’t forget Ji Feng, the alleged owner of the Unseen Hillock, was once his patient.
The final treatnt plan was very clear back then, using therapy to make Ji Feng accept the idea that "the new era is just an illusion; the essence of the Unseen Hillock remains unchanged".
So, for Fu Qian, his curiosity was always about what kind of deception lay beyond the door.
And what was the motive of the person who wrote that line?
[Containnt Condition Achieved, End the Darkest Night]
The fact proves that not all deceptions are bad; while Fu Qian was sitting quietly on the sofa, a sound broke the silence.
...
Has it finally co?
The containnt condition for this task was indeed hard to materialize.
Besides, the content seed rather complex.
End the Darkest Night?
Quite fitting amidst this total darkness before him.
Fu Qian wouldn’t naively think that turning on a lightbulb would solve it; a significant upheaval might be required.
Moreover, this wasn’t the most intriguing aspect for Fu Qian; actually, he was curious why the containnt conditions erged now.
It seed a nonsensical question, yet sothing about the warehouse’s pattern had been explored.
So things appear random but essentially follow certain patterns like this ti’s containnt object’s number.
And for Fu Qian, a certain question had existed long ago—why is there often a delay in mission prompts once the task begins?
The warehouse clearly delivers people in, and ti is of the essence, yet often allows so free action ti.
Due to so constraint? Or to conserve effort?
Just like a task summary needing extensive exploration for more detail, in a task, administrators must touch certain elents to naturally trigger prompts?
This explanation sounds reasonable but inevitably brings a question—what if the elents aren’t touched?
For instance, in this scenario, the trigger condition doesn’t seem overly stringent at first glance.
After all, this door in the Unseen Hillock is so conspicuous; to enter in and look around is quite natural if one’s ability permits.
But don’t forget a minor detail.
Coming in took a while, and the task prompt just appeared.
Even if the chanical Ring couldn’t be brought to keep ti, Fu Qian was quite sure exactly one minute had passed from earlier till now.
This overly precise ti is hard not to be interpreted as a trigger factor itself.
So, is it that staying inside for one minute triggers the prompt? What significance does this hold?
It can’t be that the warehouse’s computation requires ti, right?
Or could it be—that the trigger condition is to stay in absolute darkness for one minute behind the door?
Indeed, professionals always focus on details; though moving blindly was spur-of-the-mont, Fu Qian still considered it.
But if it were true, wouldn’t it be a bit too demanding?
It’s hard to imagine soone as interested as him, so wouldn’t it an most wouldn’t even trigger the task condition?
Or it introduces another explanation, that there’s more than one trigger point, with the warehouse flexibly calculating according to the administrator’s actions...
"Let there be light."
In deep thought, Fu Qian snapped his fingers, activating the Decree Residue.
A rush of brilliance instantly swept through the darkness, illuminating the space ahead.
...
It was said the eyes weren’t blind, and indeed it was the Prophet’s apartnt.
The effect was exceptional, and Fu Qian was very satisfied, taking in his surroundings.
Floor, sofa, recliner... indeed it was the place visited twice before.
And although the recliner was empty, the lake view window beside erged once again.
Indeed, not only was the Prophet absent, but even the door in the wall was gone.
So what is this? A visit to a lightless Unseen Hillock?
Fu Qian already stood and walked to the window, gazing out through the sowhat dirty glass.
It truly appeared dark, and he seed the only source of light in this world.
At the sa ti, it was clear the room wasn’t alone, still firmly embedded in a building.
Apart from being worn-out like the end of ti, it was just like the place he ca from.
Could it really be another Unseen Hillock? Subrged in eternal darkness?
Considering the Unseen Hillock was allegedly a manifestation of Ji Feng’s will, it’s not too far-fetched.
But Fu Qian still considered a small issue: no matter what, he wasn’t the first to enter that door; where did the others seeking freedom go?
Like the enlightened Sheep-headed Demon.
