Chapter 129: Chapter 128 How Did You Take My Place?_1

Young people really are full of energy!

Listening to Young Master Qin’s voice on the phone, Fu Qian couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

No one had come looking for him since yesterday, and he thought the matter had ended, only to find that the anomaly back then had piqued the curiosity of the masses.

But it’s better to look on the bright side.

If a group of people interpreted it as a UFO rather than the light of Buddha shining on everyone, it at least showed they were more inclined to believe in science, which was quite comforting to him.

Although they wouldn’t be meeting any aliens.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Qian’s attention quickly shifted back to the tasks at hand for the day.

The process might have been a bit convoluted, but this mission wasn’t too arduous and did match the level of a Third Phase object.

As for the final confrontation with Chen Xing, to tell the truth, this demi-god didn’t leave a very strong impression on him.

At least compared to Yibu and Yuan Shan, this one really didn’t cut it.

And then there was that bizarre transformation, those eyes spreading out like a peacock’s tail feathers, it was hard not to think of the “price” mentioned by Deng Feizhou.

Pity there wasn’t an opportunity to learn more.

Speaking of which, Chen Xing was really grasping at straws.

The strength demonstrated by Deng Feizhou, at most, was that of a Fourth Phase peak; Chen Xing actually pinned his hopes on this guy to help him ascend to demi-god status?

Or maybe he was putting his hopes on Thorn Blood.

Fu Qian silently speculated.

Chen Xing wasn’t stupid; he must have learned something about Thorn Blood and thus chosen this path.

What he believed in was the stature of Thorn Blood, not Deng Feizhou.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Thorn Blood had merged with the mask he was carrying, forming 3-0177.

Regarding the description of 3-0177, from the effects after use, Fu Qian had a bold guess.

All his previous containment tasks had taken place in the past of that world.

And under the Messenger status, he had reached the actual present.

Confirming this was simple, he just needed to use the Messenger again in a couple of days.

Then he would see if there had been any leap forward in time.

However, safety must be a priority when using this.

In the Messenger status, he would “truly die.”

That is to say, he only had one life and needed to be more cautious in his actions.

The upside was that he could remove the mask at any time to end the Messenger status.

With his current strength, he had the power to fight even a demi-god.

The effects of the Mythical Form had also been mostly tested.

As long as he remained vigilant and didn’t encounter any twisted First or Second Phase beings, he should at least have the chance to flee.

After quickly sorting through his thoughts, Fu Qian tidied up his things, and soon there was a knock at the door.

…

“You guys really are idle!”

Looking at Qin Mingze and Wu Qingyu outside the door, Fu Qian couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing.

“You don’t know jack!”

Qin Mingze’s tone was very excited.

As expected of young people, just a few days since the last incident, Young Master Qin had already stepped out of the shadow of the black dress incident and was once again shining like a Litigant.

“This isn’t some third-rate sci-fi story, many residents nearby said they saw the flash, not to mention those five are still lying in the hospital.”

“If it wasn’t for the area still being sealed off this morning, half of Lincheng’s sci-fi fans would probably run over there!”

“This is a big event that happened right by us, aren’t you the slightest bit curious?”

Absolutely not.

Fu Qian quietly thought to himself, then turned to look at Wu Qingyu beside him.

“Are you a sci-fi enthusiast as well?”

“No.”

Wu Qingyu was still that same half-dead-looking figure, responding very succinctly.

“I’m not interested in sci-fi stories, though I might be a bit curious if those five victims are willing to let me have a look.”

“But I’m insisting to my teacher that I am, so I can slack off and get a break to enjoy a real Saturday night…”

“Understood.”

Fu Qian patted the latter’s shoulder.

“Have you had dinner yet?”

Young Master Qin looked at Fu Qian.

“No.”

“That’s just perfect. Xiao Yu and I have already eaten, so let’s head out,”

The logic skills of a Litigation Trainee truly reached perfection.

But Fu Qian didn’t fuss about it. Not to mention skipping a meal, going without food for ten days or half a month wasn’t a problem for him now.

Despite the short distance, Young Master Qin insisted on driving no matter what.

Ten minutes later, the trio arrived near the Stone Bridge.

By now, night had fallen, and from a distance, the five people’s car was no longer on the bridge. It must have been towed away.

However, Young Master Qin wasn’t lying. Normally deserted, the Stone Bridge still had a scattered crowd of dozens even at this hour.

A quick glance revealed that apart from the professionals waiting with their cameras, the rest were young people around twenty years old, probably students from nearby schools who had come to join the excitement.

Fu Qian even recognized two familiar faces among them.

Pei Yanqing and He Xian were unmistakably among the crowd.

“Indeed, the curiosity of young girls is boundless!”

With just one look, Young Master Qin became quite sentimental.

“Suddenly, I miss my school days.”

“Mr. Fu!”

At that moment, Pei Yanqing in the crowd had already spotted Fu Qian and was excitedly waving, attracting sideways glances from those around her.

“Mr. Fu… is she calling you?”

Qin Mingze looked over incredulously.

“Yes.”

Fu Qian didn’t intend to explain too much and casually walked onto the bridge, nodding to Pei and He.

“You can call me Fu Qian.”

After greeting the two women, Fu Qian briefly introduced Qin Mingze and his companion.

“Your popularity with women seems a bit exaggerated lately!”

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Mingze whispered to Fu Qian.

“What’s so strange about that!”

Fu Qian glanced at him.

“Don’t use your hobbies to challenge other people’s professions.”

…

Qin Mingze was left speechlessly raw by that retort.

“I didn’t realize you were a sci-fi enthusiast.”

Looking at Pei Yanqing, Fu Qian slightly furrowed his brow.

Honestly, he really didn’t want her anywhere near him now.

“I’m not,”

Pei Yanqing giggled, pointing to her best friend.

“He Xian dragged me here. She’s more interested in these kinds of things, but she’s scared now that it’s dark.”

“Scared?”

“Yeah, they say five people went mad mentally, so the rumors are getting more and more mysterious.

Even suggestions that they’ve been subjected to some sort of secret experiment that fried their brains.

Apparently, their condition is not optimistic now, with their intelligence basically regressed to infant level.”

You were nearly there once.

Fu Qian glanced at her, saying nothing.

“There’s no need to pity them.”

At this point, Young Master Qin snorted, his face filled with a cold sneer.

“Those five were never good people, causing trouble all the time. I certainly don’t believe they came here to admire the moon.”

“In a sense, even if it was aliens, it would be a public service. Although, I think it’s more likely they just drank too much fake booze.”

Young Master Qin, as someone in the business, clearly knew quite a bit of insider information!

And his guess was pretty close to the truth.

“Is that so?”

Pei Yanqing and He Xian frowned upon hearing this.

Obviously, they had no idea that the incident started because of them.

Fu Qian didn’t say anything and expressionlessly surveyed his surroundings.

The next moment, his gaze sharpened, and he took a deep breath.

He finally knew why something felt off!

The spot where Pei Yanqing was standing was exactly where he had stood the night before, down to the last inch!
