Chapter 820: Chapter 818: Grounded Chapter 820: Chapter 818: Grounded Dunis at that time, Ya Yu was renowned for arriving without a shadow and leaving without a trace.
Fu Qian was curious back then, wondering what kind of concealment technique it was that even he couldn’t detect any sign of.
Now thinking about it, if Kisaragi Chie had just summoned a tarot card spread into an Eight Trigrams formation while talking to Nepheli, wouldn’t it be somewhat similar to that scene?
Ya Yu, like Nepheli just now, existed only in Veheler’s perception; that’s why later during both noisy incidents, Ya Yu and Veheler were both not at the Lighthouse.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to split up, they literally couldn’t split up!
The methods of the Native Council are indeed various, a gift from Rom?
Fu Qian couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, feeling that the trip was well worth it.
Of course, this was just a guess; after all, although Ya Yu was unseen, she indeed demonstrated Extraordinary Powers different from those of Veheler, which was why he hadn’t suspected this at the time.
By comparison, Nepheli, who could only talk big, was like a super-degraded version.
But if the guess was true, did it mean that Veheler had directly “read” a Demigod into existence?
Even seriously waiting for him to “arrive” before helping him solve the Godblood Curse.
Ya Yu was like an existence pieced together from information, but still within the realm of Extraordinary Power.
Truly an eye-opener, no doubt technology exchange conferences are indeed necessary.
Hmm…
Kisaragi Chie, suddenly pulled back to the task at hand, was clearly still confused, staring at the tarot cards in front of her.
After a moment of hesitation, she shifted her attention away from the cards, sizing up Su Gao, employing the grand law of emotional perception and facial expression reading.
Unfortunately, Su Gao’s unique poker face prevented her from obtaining any valuable information.
“I’m sorry, my abilities are limited, I can’t offer you an answer for now, I can only express my hope that Violetta will find what she’s seeking.”
Finally, Kisaragi Chie sighed deeply, candidly admitting her limitations.
Somewhat rare, a divination shop that’s actually honest with everyone.
Fu Qian silently appraised, and the next moment, he also handed over his own tarot card.
“Do you think I’ll find what I’m looking for?”
“Mr. Darcy… you will find something.”
Kisaragi Chie was initially surprised, but then quickly replied.
So certain?
Fu Qian nodded.
It was clear that Kisaragi Chie neither employed emotional perception nor studied the cards; instead, she subconsciously came to this conclusion.
It seemed that although Nepheli’s story was forgotten, certain feelings remained, like him clearly having received several answers.
“Thank you; after all, whether we find anything is uncertain, but you certainly have.”
Without further inquiry, Fu Qian pulled out a banknote and slid it over.
This was staff salary requisitioned upon departure.
Hmm?
Kisaragi Chie didn’t rush to take the money but looked at Fu Qian in surprise, clearly not understanding his intention.
While she strained to figure it out, the door was pushed open with a creak.
“To think there’s another visitor!”
Kagetsu Kana swayed gracefully into the room, smiling as she greeted both Fu Qian and Violetta.
“Mr. Darcy, Violetta, I had no idea you were so interested in divination.”
Kana…
Upon recognizing the newcomer, Kisaragi Chie felt the reality of the situation was somewhat surreal for a moment.
Obviously, regarding her sister’s fate, she had made countless assumptions, and due to her profession, it was difficult to comfort herself with overly optimistic possibilities.
Yet, her sister had returned home much faster than anticipated.
“Lady Suzune, please come in.”
In the face of this scene, Kagetsu Kana wore a flawless smile, turned around, and invited the person outside to come in–it was the passionate young man Takagi Suzune.
“I apologize for the intrusion.”
Compared to noon, Suzune’s complexion had grown noticeably paler, especially upon seeing Fu Qian, her face tensed up significantly.
“After a preliminary investigation, Kana’s suspicion has been temporarily cleared.”
The next moment she looked at Kisaragi Chie, explaining the current situation with utmost seriousness.
“However, given the special nature of her abilities, she must remain under house arrest and report to me every two days to confirm her status. I need your help to supervise this, understood?”
“Okay.”
Kisaragi Chie listened carefully, agreeing almost instantly.
“Mr. Darcy can really sniff out a woman’s scent, I wonder what kind of reward you are hoping for?”
After confirming Kisaragi Chie understood the seriousness of the matter, Suzune finally withdrew her gaze, letting out a cold snort.
It was clear she had overheard their entire previous conversation.
“Nothing much, I am quite satisfied today.”
Fu Qian had no particular prejudices against the fiery young policewoman and responded with a smile, though he suddenly seemed to remember something.
“So you’re still working today? I thought you’d be helping Delin and the others with the kids this afternoon.”
Why should I help Delin with the kids–Suzune’s gaze turned several degrees colder in an instant.
“I know you’re just provoking me for the sake of it, and you actually don’t care, but unfortunately for you, I’ve just seen her, and it seems she doesn’t fancy visiting you anymore.”
“That’s really too bad.”
As if he could hear Su Gao’s silent sigh, Fu Qian commented with a smile.
…
“Mr. Darcy, thank you for your help.”
After Suzune stormed off angrily, Kagetsu Kana sat down with a smile, ignoring her sister and thanking Fu Qian first thing.
“What help did I provide?”
Fu Qian looked surprised.
“Although Lady Suzune didn’t say it, I know they must have approached you about Takagi’s death.”
When she mentioned her former boyfriend, her tone remained steady.
“If they didn’t say, how do you know what advice I gave?”
“I just know.”
Kagetsu Kana shook her head, her smile growing even sweeter.
“I can feel it, I know what you would have said.”
“But that’s not enough for them to release you so quickly.”
Facing a Kana who had seemingly ascended to Transcendent status, Fu Qian curiously asked.
In his mind, the likelihood of her being released this swiftly was slim.
“That’s true, the reason why they let me go is quite simple.”
Kagetsu Kana pointed to her ample chest.
“This morning, someone stabbed me here.”
So that was it, Fu Qian instantly understood.
Indeed, with her bad reputation in play, the situation was more serious than what Suzune and Lego had spoken of.
And because it was too embarrassing, they didn’t mention it when they visited today.
“You don’t seem to be injured at all, so is this your extraordinary power?”
After pondering, Fu Qian raised his doubt.
“Yes, it seems I’ve acquired overwhelming Vitality.”
Kagetsu Kana appeared quite pleased with her ability, playfully tracing her fingers across her neck.
“When I fell down, there was a moment I truly thought I was dead.”
You might have indeed died.
