Chapter 723: Chapter 721 The Observational Subject That Showed Up on the Doorstep_1 Chapter 723: Chapter 721 The Observational Subject That Showed Up on the Doorstep_1 Old Master Yasui is certainly an old hand at this!
Amid his wild conjectures, Fu Qian couldn’t help but inwardly admire.
From the Miracle Elixir to an infamous reputation known to all, this skirting of the edge was truly a bit dangerous!
If things like legend status and conceptual cognitive occupation seemed like a joke,
then that giant toad with a human face, if he remembered correctly, the program called it “Dirge.” Fu Qian wouldn’t believe it had nothing to do with transcendent powers.
That must also be why, despite the power of Yasui Corp, they still opted for such a roundabout approach.
Just like with the Miracle Elixir, when it came to matters involving transcendent powers, they always chose to debut in a way that met public expectations.
Manipulating public opinion was a trick they played all too smoothly.
This time, they even influenced the audience’s interests subtly through an entertainment program.
Otherwise, with the Night Watchman’s sensitivity, such a wide-reaching impact would likely bring them knocking.
Of course, on the other hand, it was similar to the Miracle Elixir incident–it was hard to confirm the purpose behind Yasui Corp’s actions.
At least on the surface, they didn’t seem to gain any obvious benefits.
No wonder he was a business magnate who had lived for two hundred years; his judgment was indeed impeccable!
“Do you know where this place is?”
The next moment, Fu Qian pointed at the screen and asked Su Gao.
This girl was still too modest, claiming earlier to know very little, but in fact, her introductions suggested she had quite a rich understanding.
“Not too far from here, normally about a three-hour journey.”
As expected, Su Gao didn’t disappoint Fu Qian and promptly provided an estimate of the travel time.
“Do you want to go take a look?”
“No–”
Fu Qian shook his head.
“It’s you who wants to take a look, Lady Violetta.”
Putting people to their best use, having laid the groundwork earlier when dealing with Carlos, the best choice for him now was to make himself a dutiful puppet under Lady Violetta’s command.
…
“Then we should set off as soon as possible, this thing is indeed miraculous, it’s worth taking a look.”
Su Gao caught on almost instantly and agreed promptly, standing up right away.
A teachable youngster indeed!
Fu Qian expressed his admiration and stood up to follow.
…
“The attention we’re drawing isn’t too exaggerated.”
As the train started moving slowly, Su Gao looked around and whispered.
“Yes, at least no one rushed up to hold us down when buying tickets.”
Fu Qian expressed strong agreement.
Throughout the journey, he could see that the various factions watching him were restless.
But until boarding the train, no one took any direct action; they just sent people to follow from a distance.
That is the stability of a triangle.
The beauty of mathematics, there is nothing beyond this.
“Plus, after all, it was Captain Lego who personally suggested this. I am simply following what is good advice.”
These weren’t empty words; it was indeed Captain Lego who had repeatedly suggested that they try breaking through the dimensional barrier by leveraging the infamous reputation.
“Rest up a bit, soon we’ll see that ‘Dirge’ for ourselves.”
Although this trip wasn’t a fast-paced investigation, it wasn’t a waste of time either.
Fu Qian’s initiative to come out this time might seem like a diversion, but most importantly, he was genuinely interested in that thing.
If my previous speculation is true, I can imagine the Native Council treating Ye Island as a giant experimental field. As for the test results they have painstakingly cultivated, Fu Qian certainly doesn’t mind studying them closely.
After all, apart from being a Night Watchman action adviser, I am also an Academy Instructor!
Of course, the journey wasn’t completely without surprises, such as–
“What a coincidence!”
The next moment, a familiar voice rang out.
Fu Qian withdrew his gaze from outside and saw two familiar faces.
Kagetsu Kana and Takagi.
This couple was dressed neatly at the moment, their arms affectionately entwined, among them Brother Takagi greeting with a gentle face.
They really did come.
Fu Qian exchanged a glance with Su Gao without showing any emotion.
They had naturally noticed these two odd followers just now, but didn’t expect them to actually approach.
“Yes, quite the coincidence.”
Fu Qian replied with a smile as he sized up Takagi.
Human nature is truly fascinating. It’s only been a few hours since their last meeting, yet now Brother Takagi seemed like a different person, his demeanor calm, his gaze firm, his actions graceful and relaxed.
And Kagetsu Kana beside him was similarly radiant, her alluring eyes and charming smile complementing each other perfectly, standing together, they made quite the pair.
Of course, Fu Qian did not believe this was really a coincidence. It was clear that these two had followed him on purpose.
Chances are they had been closely watching his movements even before this.
But why was the question?
The Night Watchman and Yasui Corp following him Fu Qian could reasonably understand, but he couldn’t fathom why these two would insist on joining the fray.
“Where does Mr. Darcy plan to go?”
Kagetsu Kana followed Takagi and sat down beside him, asking naturally.
Compared to when she participated in the Miracle Elixir test, the girl seemed much more reserved and was far more polite in her speech, appearing to have grown significantly.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of Fu Qian and Su Gao, the growth was of a different sort.
“I’m going to check the extent of my wickedness.”
Fu Qian swung his palm lightly, making a pressing gesture in the air.
“That’s great, we were just about to go there too!”
Before Kagetsu Kana could say anything, Takagi already showed a look of tacit understanding.
His confident tone made it hard to connect him with the small room full of photos.
Although everyone has their secrets, Fu Qian was no moral judge; still, he couldn’t help but lament that being infatuated was like a double-edged sword.
Using one’s toes one could tell that the coincidence was driven by Kagetsu Kana.
As for the specific motive, it was still hard to imagine. Perhaps some particular change made her feel on top of the world, wanting to show off in front of someone who had once rejected her charms?
Engaging in a battle of egos is risky, and the Virtuous Couple had no idea what they had gotten involved in!
Stepping into this triangle with mortal bodies was more than just dancing on the edge of a knife–it was like dancing in a meat grinder.
Fu Qian inwardly sighed, casting a glance towards a corner of the carriage.
“Sitting over there is more comfortable, you can go sit there.”
“Alright.”
In response to this not-so-tactful imperative sentence, Takagi and Kagetsu Kana both willingly complied.
The next moment, the two got up without any complaint and went straight to the spot Fu Qian had pointed out, taking their seats earnestly.
The reason for their cooperation was simple, Fu Qian had invoked the Decree Residue while uttering that imperative.
There was still a considerable distance ahead, and he had no interest in joining the pair in any games about the return of the Dragon King or cutting down inner demons.
As for Su Gao, it goes without saying that, although she seemed to be enjoying playing the part of Lady Violetta, nearly three hours of acting was more than enough–not that I would be so cruel.
