Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Furnace (19)_1 Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Furnace (19)_1 Um…
It was clear that dea wouldn’t understand the true aning of Fu Qian’s words, interpreting them simply as a lack of interest in chatting, which promptly caused her to clam up and stew in her discomfort.
Looking back now, it was indeed quite embarrassing to be caught in a tryst with a student and then to be caught red-handed by two others.
The atmosphere inside the car beca extrely awkward in an instant.
“Did Daniel… cause you trouble today?”
Attempting to alleviate the discomfort, dea tried to divert her attention by bringing up sothing else, and she quickly realized sothing.
She hadn’t noticed before but now thinking about it, Daniel clearly seed intimidated by him, which was completely out of character.
They must have had previous encounters, and it was likely that he had been at a disadvantage.
Of course, dea still had no idea why this student was doing these things.
Initially, she had thought he might be acting strangely due to an infatuation with her.
However, after a few interactions, she was certain that he was nothing like a hormone-driven young man, and she couldn’t sense any elent of lust in the way he looked at her.
His movents were secretive, and his motives a mystery.
“Yeah, and his two lackeys as well.”
In response to her guess, Fu Qian gave a confirming answer.
“Is that how you hurt your foot?”
dea asked again, lowering her head.
“That’s a different story.”
Fu Qian’s response was still succinct.
It was no surprise to him that she noticed his injury.
Although he had changed his shoes later, there were nine holes in both feet, most of them clean through.
Given his current Mortal physique, it was impossible not to be affected in his movents.
…
Seeing that Fu Qian had no interest in elaborating, dea tactfully refrained from asking further, simply looking straight ahead with an unfocused gaze.
“Do you think I’m a whore, just like they do?”
After a mont of silence, she seed to recall so of the previous conversation and asked in a low voice.
“Did your brain get oxygen-deprived and start having issues just now?”
Unfortunately, faced with her sudden self-reflection, Fu Qian was completely uninterested.
“You’re already walking the path of committing sins of the flesh; do you really care if others think you’re a whore?”
…
Fu Qian’s words afforded him a brief period of peace.
“We’re approaching where I live.”
After so ti, dea cautiously spoke up to remind him that they would soon reach her destination.
They had already left the school at quite a distance, and judging by the buildings around, it was obvious that they were in a much higher class area compared to where Fu Qian lived.
“Good, get out.”
To dea’s surprise, no sooner had she spoken than Fu Qian abruptly brought the car to a halt.
“Here? But we haven’t arrived yet!”
dea’s expression was as shocked as could be, not expecting in the least that Fu Qian would stop the car here and rush her out.
She had even harbored a strangely subtle dilemma, such as how to react if this student wanted to follow her upstairs after being dropped off at her place.
Who would have thought…
“You have 10 seconds to get out.”
Fu Qian couldn’t be bothered to explain and simply began a countdown.
Although he had no interest in dea, as a polite person, he didn’t mind taking a few extra steps to walk soone ho.
The reason for his abruptness in getting rid of her was that, at the sa ti dea was speaking, a prompt also sounded in Fu Qian’s mind.
[Task Completed, Current Task Updated: Wait at dea’s ho for police arrest.]
The mont this task appeared, Fu Qian couldn’t help but make a strange face.
Mainly, the logic within was truly difficult to comprehend.
Arrest, he thought, sounded as though he was being treated as a criminal suspect.
But the issue was, from the start to now, he had not done anything illegal or disorderly, not to ntion having already been a victim of the Chainsaw Maniac.
At most, he had just witnessed a homicide scene, but the problem was, the person who took the photo seed fine, and the police were coming straight for him?
This was simply unreasonable.
Of course, theoretically speaking, completing this task wouldn’t be difficult.
dea’s ho was just ahead, and after dropping her off and asking to co in, she probably wouldn’t have the courage to refuse.
After that, all he had to do was calmly wait for the police to arrive.
Yet Fu Qian suddenly didn’t want to do so.
From the beginning until now, these tasks seed stranger and stranger.
This feeling of being led by the nose gave him an ominous premonition.
So this ti, Fu Qian was ready to sacrifice a bit more SAN Points, to not follow the task prompt and see what would happen.
Based on his extensive experience with police, he knew it was best to have a firm grasp on the situation before dealing with them.
Otherwise, not to ntion the limitations on action, one could easily be kept in the fog for a long ti, clueless as to what had actually happened.
So, seconds after the new task prompt appeared, he chose to slam on the brakes and hustle the passenger out.
dea, too, was clearly in a state of confusion at Fu Qian’s actions, and after confirming his determination, she didn’t have the courage to question him.
Since her ho was already close by, she imdiately got out of the car without a word.
And under her gaze, Fu Qian quickly started the car and drove away.
Speeding away from the area, Fu Qian soon turned the car onto a relatively secluded side street, then shut off the engine and stopped.
Opening a package on the passenger seat, he shook it out and extracted a set of clothes and a hat that he had already prepared.
That’s right, he had bought them during the ti before he went to school.
At the ti, he had no particular clear purpose; he just felt that the situation was sowhat strange and delicate and made so preparations as a precaution.
At this mont, using this new outfit, Fu Qian quickly made a significant change to his appearance.
Once done, holding the clothes he had changed out of, Fu Qian left the car behind and stealthily retraced his path, distributing the garnts in different trash cans along the way.
In Fu Qian’s opinion, the speed at which the police trouble him was unreasonably fast, Daniel might not even have been shaken awake yet.
Therefore, he vaguely felt that the reason for their pursuit was not because of the murder case that just happened but rather due to sothing earlier.
Under these circumstances, their ability to find dea’s place could very likely be through tracking the car he was driving.
This was also the reason why Fu Qian decisively abandoned Telika’s apology gift.
It didn’t take long before he returned to the vicinity of where dea had gotten out, observing quietly.
As expected, several police cars raced by soon after, and they did not stop in the vicinity.
[Task Failed, SAN Points decrease by 32]
What the heck… that number isn’t right!
The next mont, the task failure prompt appeared tily, and Fu Qian was not surprised at all.
But the punishnt that followed left him questioning life for a mont.
