Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Prosthetic Eye (11)_1
“Actually, I’ve always been a bit curious,”
the four people in the car quickly reached a consensus on the timing of their action, and Fu Qian brought up a question that he was concerned about.
“Before today, I didn’t know much about Transcendent rituals. How did you guys come to obtain those rituals you were discussing in the first place?”
He asked bluntly.
“And after the rituals are completed, how do you confirm the gifts you receive?”
“Roland didn’t tell you?”
Upon hearing his question, Shang Shiming looked visibly surprised.
“No.”
Fu Qian shook his head.
“How is that possible!”
But now it was Rachel who couldn’t hold back.
“You’ve received a gift, how could you not know how the ritual was obtained?”
“Chance, I was just messing around and poked my kidney for no reason,”
Fu Qian said with a careless tone, making it sound as trivial as cleaning one’s ears after a shower.
God damn, who just messes around with their kidney! Are you bullshitting us?
The other three in the car were clearly unanimous in their disbelief of his absurd claim.
Among them, Shang Shiming’s face went through several expressions before he finally spoke up first.
“It’s difficult to summarize a specific pattern in obtaining rituals. You could roughly understand it as fragments of information that suddenly appear in your consciousness.”
“Just like that, it appeared out of nowhere?”
Fu Qian furrowed his brows a bit.
“Basically, yes.”
“And in most cases, it’s extremely difficult to interpret correctly,”
Shang Shiming chose his words carefully.
“This is also why there’s an exchange like this one, because it’s unpredictable and mysterious, everyone is eager to share their discoveries and listen to suggestions from others.”
“In fact, even with this, the rate of successful interpretation is quite small.”
“By what you’re saying, my situation is almost like winning the lottery, right? No wonder Roland said my luck brought him amusement.”
Fu Qian was contemplative.
“Strictly speaking, your case is a bit different,”
Shang Shiming hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“The odds of an ordinary person coming to perceive a ritual on their own are extremely slim. The information that appeared in your mind must have been imparted by Roland.”
“And it seems your luck is indeed not bad, not only did you make the correct interpretation, but you also unbelievably attempted it.”
“Most people would regard it as a fleeting absurd thought and quickly forget it,”
Shang Shiming said while carefully observing Fu Qian’s expression.
“People are different. I myself like to try new things,”
Fu Qian explained casually.
God damn trying new things!
Rachel looked at Fu Qian as if he were insane.
Just because a set of information appeared in his mind, he dared to just poke around inside his organs. Clearly, a normal person wouldn’t do such a thing.
“So, are you saying that there’s still a chance that I could receive inspirations about rituals on my own?”
Li Min, who had been silent, couldn’t help but ask as he had been listening all along.
“Of course!”
Shang Shiming’s tone was very affirmative.
“From our long-standing experience, anyone from this place can receive inspirations, and for Transcendents, the chances are even greater,”
“If that’s the case, Posey really is a magical place!”
It seemed that what Shang Shiming had said was not entirely true.
Recalling the looks from everyone at the gathering, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that Li Min and himself, the two newcomers, were being schemed against!
Fu Qian didn’t say anything, just lifted his head to look out the window.
…
Zi Liu!
After drinking the last drop of the refreshing liquid, Fu Qian flicked his finger, and the empty cup drew a parabola, landing precisely in the trash bin ahead.
Indeed, during sultry weather, nothing was more refreshing than iced soda water.
At that moment, he was standing on a broad stone-paved road, surrounded by majestic buildings in every direction, all of which looked quite ancient.
“That’s our target for today.”
Following the direction pointed out by Shang Shiming, Fu Qian looked at the Stone Tower at least fifty meters tall in the distance, and the crowds of people coming and going around it.
“Are you sure?”
“Is there some misunderstanding in your definition of ‘secluded’?”
In fact, not just her, even Li Min and Rachel, dressed as tourists at the side, showed deep skepticism in their eyes.
“No way around it.”
Shang Shiming looked a tad embarrassed.
“Although Posey has many ancient relics, when you extend the timeline to over five hundred years, the options become quite limited.”
“Don’t worry, this Stone Tower is isolated, with a certain distance from other buildings, and it’s actually a bell tower inside.”
“Also, I have confirmed that due to certain safety hazards, it’s been many years since tourists were allowed inside, including the surrounding area being sealed off.”
“If such a building were to collapse, maybe nobody would find it strange at the time, making it less likely to draw the Night Watchman’s attention and much fewer troubles afterward.”
“You’ve thought it all through, huh!”
Fu Qian gave a word of praise, but then raised a question.
“So how do you plan to go about it? Just walk over there so openly, not to mention easily getting caught on camera, and later the commotion won’t possibly be small, the Night Watchman might arrive before we finish.”
“Firstly, sneak in beforehand, which should not be difficult for us, then wait for the right moment to act,”
Shang Shiming seemed to have a plan ready.
The right moment?
Fu Qian suddenly realized what he meant and looked up at the sky.
“Did you specifically check the weather?”
“Yes!”
Shang Shiming nodded vigorously.
“There will be a thunderstorm later, which can cover up some noise.”
Was that really the plan?
Could he have been inspired by some movie?
Even so, Fu Qian looked at the massive structure in the distance.
