Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Servant’s Needle (20)_1 Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Servant’s Needle (20)_1 “Don’t move!”
Facing Rosetta’s interrogation, Fu Qian did not answer her question, but instead barked sharply, indicating for her to stand still.
Rosetta was at first somewhat at a loss, then clearly stunned for a moment, as if realizing something.
Unfortunately, Fu Qian was no longer looking at her, but turning his head to look outside the window.
The night sky was clear, and the moon had returned to its previous brilliance, even the light from other houses could be seen.
“I’m back?”
Fu Qian looked down at his own hands, speaking in an incredulous tone.
Of course, he was talking nonsense.
The moment he saw Rosetta, he realized that the world had switched again.
Although unsure why, as previously mentioned, when things are abnormal, there must be demons at play.
His act at that moment was undoubtedly to reinforce his persona.
After all, you should act like someone tormented by nightmares.
Seeing Fu Qian’s expression of alertness mixed with faint joy, Rosetta instantly understood everything.
“It’s alright, you’re safe now.”
She hurried forward two steps, not minding as Fu Qian sat on her table, and looked at him intently.
“Tell me honestly, when did you start experiencing this torment?”
“Depends on how you define torment.”
Fu Qian smiled with a sense of relief.
“Theoretically, for over a month now, but actually, twenty-five days.”
The two times in his answer, one month naturally within the scope of this mission, according to the medical records.
As for twenty days, that was the day he received a certain black work ID.
“In such a short time, it’s already this frequent!”
Rosetta was clearly startled upon hearing this, seeming to find both twenty days and a month shockingly short.
“Isn’t it the same for you?”
Fu Qian also cooperatively furrowed his brows.
“Of course not.”
Bernard’s words seemed to evoke painful memories for Rosetta, as she slowly shook her head.
“Didn’t Bernard tell you? It seems he really doesn’t want to bring up these matters!”
“No, he’s now more interested in smoking and drinking.”
“I understand, for a long time I was the same.”
Rosetta did not show the expected disdain for cigarettes and alcohol, but instead blinked at Fu Qian and smiled faintly, seemingly not minding to bring up her own dark history.
Auntie Rosetta really is a girl with stories!
Fu Qian couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.
“But there are reasons for why we were like that.”
The next moment, Rosetta also sighed deeply.
“When I met Bernard, he was about your age.”
“He was actually a bit like you, a very proud person, and of course, I was the same back then.”
“Because it seems we both had some kind of innate gift.”
“Transcendent power?”
Fu Qian asked.
“No evidence, but that’s what we believed.”
“For me, I was very certain that often I could achieve what I wanted, and the things I desired would appear before me in unexpected ways, so I called myself the Lucky Girl.”
“As for Bernard, he claimed to possess a transcendent observational talent, no disguise could fool his eyes, and he could even occasionally receive prophetic insights.”
“Most importantly, this gift didn’t even require training; as we grew older, it seemed to strengthen on its own.”
“So, back then, we were both extremely confident about our futures and firmly believed we were different from others.”
“It was because of this pride that we became friends, but then—”
Rosetta smiled at Fu Qian.
“You should know I would say this, anyway, one day, this pride was crushed to dust.”
“The origin was a period when I felt my luck was almost unstoppable.”
“Although not certain, I vaguely felt that my talent was breaking through to a new stage, and I longed for it immensely.”
“Unexpectedly, just as I silently waited and sensed that the threshold was being crossed, I discovered that my talent had vanished!”
Even after many years, Rosetta seemed to have a slight twitch when she said this.
“And when I couldn’t believe it and frantically verified in every way possible, I found that it hadn’t disappeared, but had appeared in another form…”
“I understand, like what I’m experiencing now?”
“Exactly.”
Rosetta nodded.
“I began to uncontrollably be thrown into an incredible world of chaos, where everything was bizarre and indescribable, and the strangeness was extreme.”
“At that time, I was almost going mad and tried every possible solution.”
“I dared not sleep, fearing that I would wake up in a sewer full of rats. But it was no use, many times it happened in the blink of an eye.”
“Most importantly, you can’t always come back, but instead enter another nightmare.”
“Often, they appear no different from the real world at first glance until they reveal their horrifying side.”
“In the end, I even started to be unable to confirm which world was the real one!”
“I initially thought this was retribution for my abuse of the talent until one day, I met Bernard in one of those chaotic worlds.”
“And he had become what you see.”
“After recognizing me, he laughed madly and told me that he was very certain, all of it was fake, including our previous world, which essentially wasn’t any different.”
“He didn’t even care if I would dig out my own eyeballs right in front of him.”
“That’s when I knew he had been tormented by the same nightmare for months.”
“He even once tried to blow off his own head, but the consequence was just waking up in a valley drenched with blood!”
“I understand.”
Fu Qian’s face was solemn.
“But it seems like you have already freed yourself from the troubles?”
“Yes, but it was many years later.”
Rosetta let out a sigh, her words filled with an uncontrollable sense of relief.
“In the cycles of torment over and over again, I began to place hope in the attempts for inner peace that I never cared for before.”
“At first it was still useless, until I moved here, and after some time, things finally turned around.”
“I was no longer the Lucky Girl, but that truly didn’t matter, because I was no longer tormented by nightmares…”
Rosetta’s voice was incredibly sincere.
“Having heard your story, I can understand why Bernard turned out like that.”
Fu Qian nodded, indicating that he had learned a great deal.
“I actually tried to contact him afterward, to tell him this good news and invite him to the Bee Monkey place.”
“But his stubbornness was beyond imagination, he seemed to have decided that I was deluding myself, clinging to a false image, and never came.”
“So I understand your pain, in fact, I’m surprised you were able to come back so precisely.”
Rosetta looked at Fu Qian with a sympathetic gaze.
“But next time you might not be so lucky.”
Rosetta said, frowning in thought.
“If you’re willing to take a risk.”
The next moment, she bit her lip, seeming to make up her mind.
She turned, carefully closed the door again, and discreetly took out a delicate small box from her body.
“Maybe you could try it directly.”
It really was a needle!
Looking at the small box that was opened and pushed over, Fu Qian took a cold breath.
Is this size not a bit too exaggerated?
