Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Wasteland Part (1)_1 Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Wasteland Part (1)_1 [Identity verification complete, work for the day begins.]
[Warning, leak incident.]
The next morning, Fu Qian entered the warehouse on time, and the alarm unquestionably went off.
Yesterday, Young Master Qin and his friends had leisurely spent some time before leaving, making it obvious they treated Fu Qian’s place as a spot where they could unload their burdens and relax to their heart’s content.
Even Tan Ying was the same. She might have come with some grievances, but it didn’t take long for her to be influenced by the atmosphere.
It could only be said that Fu Qian’s way of doing things gave off such a strong mental suggestion.
Even because he was in a good mood, Fu Qian had let Tan Ying beat him up quite a few rounds, and seeing her attitude when she left, she must have reached quite a few realizations.
[Item: Feather, Code: 2-153]
[Today’s task updated: Enter the containment scene of 2-153, complete re-containment.]
[Choose your skills and equipment.]
This time there are no restrictions on the ability items!
Fu Qian nodded, very satisfied with this.
After a routine preparation, he brought two new items with him.
One of course was the newly acquired reward, named the Eternal Clarity Chime.
After all, it wouldn’t make sense not to test it in a real battle when given such a suitable opportunity.
The other was a gift from the Witch, that silver-white mask with facial features.
From its previous effects, it was pretty good at masking presence, and it would likely come in handy many times.
[Entering the containment scene of 2-153.]
After the preparation work was done, the scene in front of him quickly blurred.
[…2%…4%…10%…28%…82%…100%, loading complete.]
[This place is Human Desolation, and also the only Forbidden Area belonging to all Transcendents.
Due to the chaos and danger it is filled with, it is known as the wasteland.
However, the treasures borne from the danger attract batch after batch of Transcendents.
They hunt aberrant monsters, unearth ancient secrets, and thus receive incredible gifts.
Of course, the bloody conflict that follows is inevitable, so everyone entering should be prepared for death.]
This description sounds familiar!
As he heard the introduction in his mind, Fu Qian quietly commented.
If he remembered correctly, he had heard a similar description not long before.
In the task from the Goddess of Sin and Punishment, it seemed that all the opponents came from such a lawless place, a place where a large number of Transcendents gathered.
[Containment achievement condition: Completely hide the Secret Angel Dungeon.]
[Current SAN Points: 220, current Inspiration: 86]
As the string of explanatory text ended, Fu Qian regained his senses, and the first thing he felt was excruciating pain, and his jaw was chillingly cold.
Touching his face, Fu Qian found a piece missing from his jaw, where his flesh was writhing and slowly healing.
Facing such a bizarre entrance, Fu Qian was not the least bit panicked. Instead, he looked around immediately, finding himself sitting at a wooden table.
At the moment, the smooth tabletop was stained dark red with a large splash of blood.
At the same time, he lifted his heavy left hand and discovered he was holding an extravagantly designed long-barreled revolver.
So, am I sitting here, with the gun barrel against my jaw, having fired a shot?
In this scene, Fu Qian naturally conjured up the image.
Indeed, how unpredictable life is. The ruse he had concocted in the last mission had actually become a reality here at the first opportunity.
Fu Qian tried to stand up and checked himself in the mirror nearby.
In the short while, the wound on his face had almost healed, and the broken off piece of his jaw had regrown.
Fu Qian thought for a moment, opened the cylinder of his revolver, and poured all the bullets onto the table.
Unlike the commonly seen brass bullets, these bullets were either silvery-white or pitch-black, and each was engraved with intricate patterns that were all different.
This might not be meant for use against humans!
Fu Qian thought to himself, combining the previous introductions, this Forbidden Area known as the wasteland was completely open to outsiders, making it a playground for Transcendents. The bullets were most likely intended for hunting the monsters.
And with such comprehensive equipment, it seemed he must be a professional.
As for why the last bullet had exploded in his own head, that was something to study carefully.
Fu Qian glanced outside the window. The light was still slightly dim, a pale green sky hung with a few stars, indicating that it had just dawned.
The décor and arrangements around him were extremely simplistic, bordering on spartan.
This clearly was his own residence, without another soul around.
The wound on his head had already vanished without a trace. Fu Qian thought for a moment, quickly cleaned up the bloodstains on the table and floor, and restored everything to normal.
Bang bang!
Almost as soon as he had cleaned up, there was a knock on the door from outside.
In Fu Qian’s perception, he could clearly discern two people standing outside. Their presence wasn’t all that strong, but they were undoubtedly Transcendents.
And judging by the sound of the knocking, these two were clearly agitated.
They’ve noticed something was amiss and came to confirm my demise?
Fu Qian thought to himself without rushing to respond.
The two people outside also didn’t seem to have much patience. After knocking twice, they exerted force on the door, and with a grating sound, the locked wooden door was forcefully pushed open from the outside.
“You’re alright?”
The visitors were a tall and a short individual. Seeing Fu Qian sitting behind the table, they looked stunned for a moment.
“Of course there is something, like I need to replace the door now,”
Fu Qian shook his head.
From the tone of these two, it was clear that they knew him, and they were certain something had happened to him.
“What happened?”
Fu Qian thought for a moment and directly got to the point.
“The people who went down with you to explore yesterday were all found dead at home today. You’re the only exception.”
The two exchanged glances, and finally, the one in front spoke up.
In theory, I should be dead too.
Fu Qian thought to himself.
“So, you were originally planning to collect my body?”
“That’s right, and to take all your belongings back,”
Surprisingly, the two before him were quite honest, openly divulging their initial plans without any hesitation.
They seemed very confident, and the impression they gave was not so much of recklessness as it was a disdain for concealment.
With such an attitude, the power behind them must be quite extraordinary.
“Anyway, it’s best that you’re not dead,”
While Fu Qian silently shared his thoughts, the two in front of him seemed to have no interest in further small talk.
“Come with us then, there are questions we need to ask you,”
“Alright!”
Fu Qian responded, standing up promptly.
In the midst of speaking earlier, he had reloaded the bullets into his revolver and had it close at hand.
“I just happen to have a few questions to confirm as well,”
