Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Unclean Ecstasy (22)_1
Ian’s ascension to demigod status meant that although his combat abilities were somewhat diminished, his vitality was indeed tenacious.
Even with the complete loss of form and the annihilation of all other hosts around him, he was even capable of directly corrupting himself with a wisp of remnant thought.
Furthermore, Fu Qian still tended to believe his words, and even in mutual destruction, that guy was very likely to make a return from the dead.
Perhaps thousands of annihilations could result in the dissolution of his consciousness to zero, but Fu Qian himself didn’t have so much time or SAN Points to waste.
And that was precisely where Ian’s confidence came from.
However, it’s uncertain whether Ian had ever seen a movie called “The Terminator.”
...
To kill something that can’t die, the simplest method is to do it before it becomes immortal.
And as it happened, Fu Qian seemed to be in possession of this technique.
Indeed, after discovering Ian’s peculiar nature, Fu Qian had settled on this idea.
The truth of the matter was that the series of actions he mentioned was mainly meant to test the properties of this special half-god form.
Although it was somewhat revolting, Fu Qian couldn’t deny the miraculous nature of this path.
In fact, Fu Qian was very curious about what it would look like if this thing evolved through the Second Phase and the First Phase.
However, it’s certain that Brother Ian would not live to see it.
“Guess who I am?”
Amid the ambiguous pink light, Fu Qian did not respond for quite some time, and the matron Lily behind him was visibly puzzled, unable to help asking once more.
“Mrs. Niu?”
This time, Fu Qian finally responded and turned around.
…
Fu Qian’s answer obviously confused Lily, but upon seeing half of Fu Qian’s face, she immediately realized that she had mistaken him for someone else.
“To think I mistook you for someone else—”
As Lily covered her mouth to laugh and was about to apologize, Fu Qian grabbed her by the arm and moved her aside.
“Ma’am, you wouldn’t want your loved one’s research to be affected, would you?”
“You…”
Lily’s body stiffened, her eyes shifting from flirtatious to shocked.
Seconds later, she finally realized something, and her pupils dramatically constricted.
“You’re not—he doesn’t have an invitation!”
By the end of her cry, her voice had become incredibly shrill.
Already the center of attention, her scream brought a hush over the entire venue, and in an instant, all eyes converged on her.
“Very good, look this way.”
Fu Qian snapped his fingers and, under the gaze of the entire crowd, activated the Decree Residue.
Having become a demigod, the aura’s effect was further enhanced and was no longer as subtly pervasive, especially since the targets were a group of ordinary people.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes looked dazed, as if their spirits had been substantially purified, and it would likely take quite a while for them to regain their senses.
“Well done, well done.”
To purify such a collection of tainted souls, I deeply feel I have made immeasurable merit—wouldn’t it be appropriate to change to a better supplication location?
Amidst his exclamation, Fu Qian leaped forth, leaving behind the crowd standing dumbfounded.
At that moment, he was certain that no Transcendent was present within the venue.
This was not surprising.
After the previous commotion, Brother Ian hadn’t shown up, and later it was Lily who had disappeared to report.
This likely meant that Brother Ian did not attend every dance.
Without any delay, Fu Qian proceeded forward, finally kicking open the grand door.
The two figures behind the door reacted swiftly, with Wind and Fire Power instantly condensing.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, the two Transcendent bodyguards were flung out, and their half-formed attacks exploded into a burst of fireworks.
Speaking of which, the Academy was still quite a distance from here.
Without giving a second glance to the two on the ground, Fu Qian’s gaze landed on a motorcycle far away.
The knight and the hot-pants beauty on the backseat were all stunned by this dazzling moment, stuck in place without moving.
Not bad.
Seconds later, the lovebirds were gifted with a single lovebird lock twisted from rebar, as they watched the taillight tear through the starlight and fade away.
…
Moments later, the Academy was already in sight.
Fu Qian looked down at what was between his legs.
This thing was indeed a bit too flamboyant; if he were to ride it all the way in and cause a disturbance, he worried the calls would go directly to Professor Lanaya.
I’m not the kind of person who disturbs others’ leisurely drinks for no reason, so let Professor Lanaya drink a little longer.
Calculating the force precisely, Fu Qian gently stepped forward and leapt down from the vehicle, landing gracefully.
The speeding motorcycle likewise came to a halt without even a hint of a wobble.
Impressive!
Speed, inertia, mass—such control is difficult to achieve for anyone but those with the ultimate mastery over strength.
Fu Qian was quite satisfied with this scene.
Next, he had to follow the route he remembered to find Ian and send him off to the west.
“Professor… Fu?”
However, just at that moment, a timid voice came from behind a massive tree, thick as three people.
Uh!
Is everyone born in the year of the Dog or something?
Fu Qian looked expressionlessly in the direction of the voice.
As a veritable demigod, he naturally knew there was someone behind the tree and that it was an acquaintance no less.
But the question was, why was Miss Liushuang out for a stroll in the middle of the night?
At this distance, it was far beyond her Middle Tier senses, wasn’t it?
That’s why Fu Qian had not taken her into consideration at all.
Who would have thought!
Sword Heart Enlightenment, terrifying indeed!
“Miss Liushuang, what brings you out here so late?”
Fu Qian wasn’t one to deny it, so he greeted her casually without showing any emotion.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk.”
Assured that she hadn’t mistaken him, Ji Liushuang emerged from under the tree, and under the starlight, her gaze seemed somehow evasive when she looked at Fu Qian.
“Taking a stroll in the dead of night, you have quite the unique hobby!”
“I prefer quietness… so I rarely go to shopping malls and the like.”
That last sentence seemed a bit superfluous.
Fu Qian narrowed his eyes at her, and the next moment, something dawned on him.
The mall, she wasn’t trying to probe for something, was she?
If he remembered correctly, his last duel with Corrupted Sword Heart had taken place within an Illusion Realm at a shopping mall.
Furthermore, if his deduction was correct, that Illusion Realm should have formed based on the mental projections of Ji Liushuang’s subconscious desires.
And in that realm, Ji Liushuang seemed to have mistaken him for some sort of abandoned husband and father.
Was she retaining that memory and unsure about what had happened, thus wanting to see if he remembered?
Realizing this point, Fu Qian simply nodded his head.
“Me too.”
“…Professor Fu, are you out for a walk too?”
With an airtight demeanor, Fu Qian replied, and Ji Liushuang could only drop the subject, making polite small talk.
You’re just talking nonsense now, with that huge motorcycle of yours, where’s the walking in that?
“Not at all, I am nowhere near that leisurely—I’ve got business to attend to.”
“At this hour?”
Ji Liushuang clearly couldn’t understand.
“Yeah, off to kill someone.”
…
Such an answer was undoubtedly bizarre, and naturally, Ji Liushuang couldn’t believe it.
After being stunned for quite a while, she silently speculated that he probably didn’t want to chat more with her, and she felt quite embarrassed.
“Sorry for disturbing you, go ahead with your business, I’ll continue my walk.”
“Alright.”
Fu Qian nodded, straightened his clothes to set off, and in the end, he made a reflective comment.
“Walking at night, you really do take after your mother!”
…
When Ji Liushuang looked up abruptly, Fu Qian was already gone.
Hmph!
Wasting a good ten seconds of the Terminator’s time, I can’t just let you off so easily.
