Chapter 2434 - 2429: The Prophet Is Dead (40)

Chapter 2434: Chapter 2429: The Prophet Is Dead (40)

It’s comforting to know that Elder Ji Feng’s will appears to be still active.

Everything happened so fast, starting with Holle’s move against Akasha, and the changes kept pouring in.

Despite the final outcome, the two people who came by carriage appeared surprisingly satisfied.

Akasha’s words were quite clear, the prevailing black, white, and gray was the outcome she wanted, which seemed to be what the team behind her hoped to induce with the outsiders.

Even though Lord Andiel was overly benevolent and refrained from acting after joining her, they still couldn’t avoid this result.

To the extent that she didn’t need to expend any effort to incite, she could directly walk away.

In short, it’s immensely satisfying.

Though Akasha might not know that Lord Andiel also seemed pleased with these changes.

Indeed, seeing through the other’s intentions and refusing to cooperate, Fu Qian never planned to do anything so pointless.

This is Ji Feng’s diagnosis revisit, where every act is like the last time, always a "conversation" with the patient, observing their reactions.

This principle of therapy has never changed.

So for Fu Qian, the aim of this trip wasn’t to avoid unexpected events, but to observe how they occur.

For example, no matter how discreet he was, he couldn’t change anything; the "Eternal Night" still rudely arrives.

Yes, referring to Akasha’s reaction, if the team’s purpose is to use him as a trigger for the "Eternal Night."

Then, given the current circumstances, is it possible to say that the specific form of "Eternal Night" is this suspect Ashfall seeping from everyone, coming together to finally cover the entire Unseen Hillock?

So for this outcome, Fu Qian concluded that Old Master Ji Feng seems to retain a certain degree of subjective initiative, not reacting purely as a reflex but showing his own will.

Otherwise, despite not having a single drink, the Ashfall still appeared, which would be overly sensitive.

In other words, on the matter of "Eternal Night" arriving, he seems more proactive than imagined.

If this is the case, then why is there this mission, a question asked at the beginning, seems to gradually have an answer.

The old master seems to have been stimulated by something and went to another extreme after the matter with the Mother of the Gospel was resolved, aiming to let the present Unseen Hillock fall into complete stillness.

...

From this perspective, what Akasha and her group are doing might not be following fate?

After making a series of speculations silently, Fu Qian seemed to have a deeper understanding of the continuous crime in Unseen Hillock.

After all, don’t forget the identities of this troublemaking group.

From the Black Doctor to the Lord, they are all suspects of having been "enlightened."

Including Akasha’s handling of Holle, which also far exceeds ordinary demigod means.

Fu Qian even specifically tested and found that even when he acted in the web, he had to suffer damage inevitably.

Is this enlightenment actually the will of the Unseen Hillock? Is Ji Feng’s rebellious phase here?

If that’s the case, the degree of danger in this journey has notably increased.

Because the confrontation is no longer just against a few criminals but directly against the Dark Avatar Ji Feng.

And it’s happening on His own turf.

"Overrated."

Assessing the current situation, Fu Qian still did not delay in modestly accepting Akasha’s compliment, expressing that he was but a normal outsider, without attempting to retain her.

On the contrary, the next moment he listened closely, as if there was some special sound.

"Why does it sound like a woman crying?"

Holle frowned tightly, saying directly.

"It’s crying, and the voice sounds quite young."

Fu Qian nodded, indicating that he heard right.

...

It’s not random talk; with the Ashfall filling the view, a young person’s sobbing was becoming clearer.

Not quite the sorrowful kind; similar to the surrounding group’s posture, giving an impression of waking up from a nightmare.

So who might be crying? Surely not the old master himself, right?

Rejuvenating and gender-swapping would indeed be a bit excessive in rebellion.

"Do you know?"

Fu Qian glanced at Akasha, casually checking.

She intended to leave earlier but never acted, and even now listening to the sounds seemed a bit surprised.

"Regrettably, I don’t know, and now I really have to say goodbye... You wouldn’t want to ask me to stay, right?"

However, with Fu Qian’s inquiry, Akasha seemed ready, smiling in farewell.

"No, please go ahead."

Fu Qian responded without hesitation, not even using the Thread of Concern as the Spider Queen and her web disappeared.

"Want to go out and see how much trouble you’ve stirred?"

He turned to Holle, calmly suggesting.

Given Akasha was diplomatic in her expression, Holle remained the prime instigator of the current situation.

"...But where to go?"

Daring to take responsibility, Holle hesitated briefly, seemingly ready to bear the burden.

However, he wasn’t clear on how to do so.

"To a crowded place."

Fu Qian had long thought it through and walked ahead.

...

The night was deep; even the entertainment street of the Unseen Hillock had quieted down, immersed in dull black and white.

The Ashfall continued to expand, showing no sign of stopping.

Meanwhile, those quick to exit the bar weren’t spared; several people could be seen sleeping on the street.

"That door?"

Not just Holle, Crystal followed out.

Faced with the scene, she seemed to understand Fu Qian’s comment on why to go where there are more people.

Things seemed out of control, and the expanding thing appeared to be spreading from individual nodes.

"Alright."

Fu Qian straightforwardly accepted the proposal with a glance.

"Why not clear out a safety zone?"

Though the Ashen Messenger voiced some differing opinions, Holle, recognizing people were key, preferred to enact some emergency measures.

"Then the first thing you should handle is yourself."

Regrettably denied immediately, Fu Qian continued forward without further explanation.

...

Indeed, as the "source of infection," self-isolation seemed necessary first.

Holle wasn’t so dull, quickly recognizing the issue within his suggestion.

"Even if you stay put, the Lord can still target others; we should quickly check if there’s a stoppage method."

Luckily Crystal promptly joined, alleviating Holle’s awkwardness, indicating that dealing with the fire was impossible. The only meaningful act was to address the Arsonist directly and figure out what the group intends.

And populated areas clearly were places they might favor.
