Chapter 597: Chapter 597 Noise (21)_1 Chapter 597: Chapter 597 Noise (21)_1 Honestly, Arielâs probing is quite skilled, and his acting isnât bad either.
Indeed, only those who can control their emotions are good actors!
Itâs just a pity that I too am well-versed in the self-cultivation of actors.
Tucking âMercyâ away, Fu Qian snorted.
Language, being inherently inefficient at conveying information, may include various interference, even if not deliberately deceptive: emotions, cognitive limitations, misinformation from others, and so on.
In Fu Qianâs view, automatically analyzing and dissecting what he heard to filter valuable information and assess its credibility was a fundamental quality of a mission agent.
So even without knowing the full story behind Ariel, Fu Qian certainly wouldnât have taken his performance at face value.
There was more than one reason that could have led to such behavior on Arielâs part.
Not to mention that Fu Qian knew quite a bit about Arielâs background, well aware that everything he did served a âpurpose.â
As for someone like that, Fu Qian really couldnât think of a reason why he would need to go undercover.
Even if he did take ten thousand steps back and stood with the Night Watchman against himself, he would surely take action directly, without wasting words.
This individual had no psychological needs of his own; it could be assumed that the purpose of any words he said was to make Fu Qian hear them.
He wanted to make Fu Qian believe he was facing a certain-death situation, to deceitfully reveal his true attitude towards the plan and confirm its threat level.
Itâs a shame, though, that the phrase âa guilty conscienceâ has never been in my dictionary.
Therefore, Fu Qian chose to use that strategy against him.
âŠ
And, as it turned out, no matter what Ariel said, he clearly didnât want to cause too much of a commotion.
Just this alone made Fu Qian fairly certain that he likely wanted the plan to proceed smoothly.
This was a good thing, it meant he neednât think prematurely about how to kill a Divine Envoy.
After all, that was a particularly draining task, and actually doing so could potentially cause a huge stir.
âSo, this Beastly Disease, is it something you and Ya Yu came up with or not?â
Fu Qian watched Ariel hopping back and forth, speaking in a tone that weighed the risks.
âFirst of all, I can assure you it wasnât me.â
Ariel seemed to have anticipated his question, answering with a smile.
âBut since the plan was originally organized by Ya Yu, whether itâs within his control or not, I am not certain.â
Was he implying there was no need to worry too much about the current situation getting out of hand, that everything was under control?
Fu Qian nodded, continuing to interpret the information he received.
âActually, I donât care what you are, whether Camus or the Sage has the upper hand, or if youâre preparing to fight to the death to become a Demigod. My only requirement is that the plan must not deviate.â
However, Arielâs smile disappeared in the next moment, his voice devoid of any emotion.
âJust do your job, understand?â
This full-on Superior Being pressure, was it both a hint and a threat?
It was probably to make sure he just stayed in the Phoenix Palace crafting talismans, rather than hurry over to assist.
Did he really not want Fu Qian to cause trouble?
âThatâs for the best. I will only do the part Iâm able to, and I donât need to know more.â
Fu Qian nodded, finally seeming to make up his mind.
âVery good.â
Seeing this, Ariel praised with satisfaction, then in the next moment, he sat back down in his chair, reverting to his original posture.
âI wish us success in our operation.â
This tone was clearly meant to dismiss him.
Witnessing this, Fu Qian too didnât say another word and followed suit.
â`
âŠ
If one day, the whole world turned into this kind of thing, I wonder what the scene would be like?
Fu Qian wandered casually within the ancient theological college, leisurely contemplating in his mind.
There was no doubt that the confrontation just now seemed simple and carefree, but it was actually fraught with crisis.
If at any point his response had been off, and Ariel thought the operation was too threatening, she would probably have instantly chosen to fight.
Unfortunately for her, under my extreme operation, not only did we avoid a battle that would have brought negative consequences, but we even got some very valuable information from elite monsters.
For a moment, Fu Qian felt very pleased with himself.
And when he left, he took the chance to pay attention to that bit-part Actor from earlier.
â⊠I canât figure out the point of having us do this ⊠Why not just have the police help block off the area, there wouldnât be a problem with that in any official capacity ⊠Honestly, these peopleâs brains must have holes in them, always coming up with this kind of nonsense!â
From the complaints coming from that side, it seemed the Night Watchman was back to normal, with no recollection of what had just transpired.
This wasnât surprising, after all, Ariel had already done the same thing in Shangjing.
This guy in front of me isnât even as good as Yuan Shanâs little secretary, Xiao Ming, when it comes to dealing with a Divine Envoy, heâs completely outmatched.
But speaking of this, I found it strange last time too, arenât the types of powers Ariel displayed a bit messy?
From the last time a True God descended upon this person, if his path to ascension really corresponds to the Superior Divine Being known as the Sun from the legends, then shouldnât his power be something like pure purification or at most, vaporization?
This kind of subconscious brainwashing and psychological suggestion, especially the misdirection towards me earlier, felt somewhat off.
The Divine Beings of this world seem to have some pretty big problems.
âŠ
It really is a turbulent undercurrent!
After leaving the Old Theological College, Fu Qian turned back to look at the great edifice and sighed.
Of course, the crowd was also turbulent.
It was already early morning, and the streets were still bustling with people coming and going, and occasionally people would break into loud song, full of the vibe before a festival arrives.
While itâs nice to be lively, it often also brings problems, such as an increase in dodgy characters around.
Just after Fu Qian came out, he realized he was being followed.
Two young people, not older than twenty, behaving sneakily, stalking from a distance.
What an era we live in!
In my plain old man disguise, with a face that shows social anxiety, Iâve attracted the attention of criminals?
Looking up and down, I donât have anything of value on meâokay, the ring might be a bit eye-catching.
Touching his ring finger, Fu Qian continued to walk forward nonchalantly, admiring the night scenery of Sea City.
This looks like a good spot.
Soon after, Fu Qian stopped on a slightly longer arch bridge, admiring the meandering stream below, completely ignoring the two cautious onlookers who had stealthily approached from behind, watching him.
Starry night, the arch bridge, once upon a time, this scene was so familiar!
Recalling past heroics, Fu Qian, however, looked towards the other side of the bridge.
In the darkness, a familiar figure was walking up step by step.
âCamus Grelada.â
The approaching figure was already speaking as he walked, with a tone of pride in his voice.
âAll good?â
It was actually Brother Marco.
Fu Qian nodded casually as if nothing was going on, and at the same time noticed that the two spirited young men had already quietly withdrawn.
The wolf feigns sleep, not to rest, but to lure its prey.
