Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2659: Chapter 2654: The Eight Wicked Women (30)

You sure dare to say that!

It was evident that at that moment, Professor Fu’s analysis was deafening.

Obviously, many hadn’t anticipated this explanation; the expressions of the audience were finally somewhat hard to maintain, with most faces looking bizarre.

[The unscrupulous professor enters the game, craftily tricks the sanctuary to deceive and dominate]

Isn’t this development too mundane?

"That’s quite an honor... but doesn’t it look like you have a bit too many helpers now?"

Faced with such a topic, it turns out mature women have stronger endurance; after calming herself, Yuan Shan was the first to speak, even analyzing seriously.

"Besides someone poisoning, you need someone to bring you here."

As she spoke, her gaze pointedly indicated the tied hands of Wen Li and Fu Qian.

This...

Objectively speaking, there’s no flaw; this plan with seemingly absurd aims has only two critical points.

Besides the unnoticed poisoning method, the victims must be brought here.

And as the Hunter, Wen Li undoubtedly held considerable authority in actions along the way.

"Makes sense."

Fu Qian immediately agreed, turning to look at the silent Wen Li and the handcuffs that hadn’t been undone.

"Even this item can be seen as restraining me... or as a form of protection against those with ulterior motives."

Unfortunately, with his current stamina, showing off the handcuffs was a bit strenuous.

"But now you really are just an ordinary person."

Communicating with such a master of analogy sometimes poses problems due to excessive smoothness.

Yuan Shan’s expression had grown somewhat odd, evolving from initial banter to seemingly considering the possibility.

"Yeah, otherwise how would you all fall for it?"

Fu Qian snorted, embodying the essence of decisiveness.

"Transcendents aren’t always superior to ordinary people; for instance, in confronting anomalies, you all instinctively lower my threat level."

...

Indeed, even as a sly ghost, he showed elegance.

Fu Qian spoke eloquently here, embodying the finesse of seeking danger as a lady of status, while the audience found it harder to maintain composure.

At first glance, it seemed alright; from the beginning until just now, few had actually suspected him.

Once transformed into a Transcendent, surpassing the human realm, rarely does one want to experience falling back.

It’s not merely about running naked; it’s about direct regression to a Paramecium.

It’s clear they can’t imagine how rich Fu Qian’s experiences at transforming into a Paramecium are.

Yet once they accepted this premise, it indeed seemed somewhat reasonable.

He even cleverly bypassed risks by staying locked with the Hunter.

Though he himself was just an ordinary person, he borrowed the threat of the Hunter’s combat powers.

But for this, the Hunter must be quite trustworthy...

Yuan Shan didn’t speak further but easily straightened out the logic.

Achieving this was obviously not hers alone; for a moment, Wen Li became the focus of attention.

"Sounds like it really makes sense..."

And the latter indeed had exceptional psychological qualities, facing such a grand scene without retreating but nodding slightly in affirmation of Fu Qian’s analysis.

"But if that’s the case, was the checkpoint also locked according to your plan? Considering that’s obviously not the part I’m responsible for, I’m rather curious about how it’s done."

In the next moment, she continued to delve and raised another key question.

...

Impressive, truly a professional Hunter seeking to control the situation all along.

Even now, she didn’t get entangled in those unclear explanations but continued to lead everyone in whole-picture thinking.

Seeing Wen Li not rushing to explain but focusing on completing the event’s chain—Fu Qian praised her secretly.

Of course, it wasn’t one of those illicit plots; theoretically, none here are part of his secret line; he was clueless about each person’s plan.

Even to say so is mild; how they came here, for what purpose... he had no notion of these key elements of the story.

And this is the significance of nonsensical talking right now.

Besides Professor Lisa, Wen Li’s attitude surprisingly also seemed ambiguous.

For example, her seemingly normal yet smart response might carry the risk of handing him the knife—

"Isn’t it simple? Why must there be only two helpers?"

Fu Qian burst into laughter.

"Professor Lisa did not lie; the checkpoint over there wasn’t her doing."

... Even his ally’s identity was revealed? And it sounded as if it indeed was someone from the Academy?

Another shocking revelation, Professor Fu’s imposing aura grew increasingly astounding.

At the sudden mention of Lisa’s name, Wen Li’s expression instantly became more solemn.

Especially when the person involved squinted silently, clearly approving this statement.

The identity that had been speculated earlier was not unlike before, but hearing it now felt distinctly different.

Not here for rescue or silencing, but to aid in setting traps?

The seemingly absurd conspiracy theory seemed to be becoming increasingly real.

Moreover, such conduct even broke a certain tacit rule everyone had been following either intentionally or unintentionally, which was to avoid confirming others’ identities.

In totality, there’s a faint sense of the plot reaching its conclusion, reviving the trope of the mastermind freely discussing their plan.

...

So, do they indeed not know each other that well?

Observing the reactions of everyone, Fu Qian clicked his tongue in amazement at that moment.

This was another issue he wanted to confirm—the social relationships of those appearing herein unison.

It wasn’t trivial curiosity but highly useful in answering "Why are they here?"

Ultimately, from earlier till now, Fu Qian had continuously expanded on conspiracy theorizing and deliberately adopted an extremely vulgar purpose.

But all those involved seemed to be lone wolves without a second person helping to verify and thus clear suspicions, not even between Yuan Shan and Wen Li.

Such a display undoubtedly greatly lowered the probability of these ladies having small cliques among themselves.

So are they each lone wolves? Even while maintaining identity, their social bonds were uniformly erased or distorted?

This outcome undoubtedly adds layers of intrigue and notably enhances the likelihood of a certain possibility—they came for him.

Indeed, if this is some sort of cognitive space, and they have no profound ties among themselves, then gathering here must stem from bonds related to him?

No matter the demeanor they’re each projecting.

Of course, it’s not the vulgar purpose mentioned above.
