Chapter 783 781 Nepheli_1

Chapter 783: Chapter 781 Nepheli_1 Chapter 783: Chapter 781 Nepheli_1 Entrusted by others…

Fu Qian’s reply clearly took Nepheli by surprise once again, and for a moment, she fell into silence.

“So in your view, does Kagetsu Kana’s sudden promotion to Transcendent have nothing to do with the Miracle Elixir?”

However, it could be seen that she still had restraint and did not continue to ask whom the trust was from.

“Do you hope it’s related, or not related?”

Even so, Fu Qian did not rush to answer, but instead, he asked with a smile.

Speaking to a Divine Envoy with such an attitude seemed a bit like courting death.

But in Fu Qian’s eyes, this sudden conversation appeared calm on the surface, but was swirling with undercurrents from the beginning.

As a Divine Envoy who had once spied on him, suddenly paying a visit and even taking the initiative to reveal his secrets with words that aimed to shock.

No matter how calm and polite the other party seemed, politeness was meaningless.

“Naturally, I hope it is related, but unfortunately, most of the time, things don’t go as one wishes.”

Nepheli didn’t get angry and elegantly picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

“It seems that you have guessed, the testing of the Miracle Elixir was indeed led by me; Carlos was merely an executor.”

A boring test had a Second Phase Divine Envoy behind it?

Wasn’t your introduction a bit dismissive!

Zetian, Asao Sakura, Carlos, Nepheli—was he moving up step by step from dealing with the less significant to engaging with the more influential?

Fu Qian thought contentedly to himself.

“If that’s the case, then I must revise my earlier critique. Such a test is truly dull and uninspiring, for a Divine Envoy designer.”

“Experimentation is always tedious.”

Nepheli emphasized, yet did not refute.

“How can that be, I know an Old Master Takahashi Yaehiro, whose experimental projects are very interesting.”

Fu Qian didn’t seem to agree with her statement.

“You call that an experiment?”

In Nepheli’s suddenly solemn tone, Fu Qian watched as Zetian filled his teacup to the brim, and then continued pouring without any sign of stopping.

The overflow of tea, however, did not spill over but instead turned into a mist.

This tea-scented mist, drawn by some invisible force, spread along the table surface before swiftly forming a curtain of haze around the four individuals.

“I think our communication content needs to be kept more confidential.”

As she spoke, Nepheli waved her hand, and Zetian, without uttering a word, took the empty pot and walked out of the curtain, standing at a distance.

“Quite an interesting technique.”

Signaling with his eyes for Su Gao not to act hastily, Fu Qian surveyed the surrounding curtain.

It could be felt that this curtain did not restrict entry or exit but was exceptionally effective in isolating perception.

“Merely a minor trick.”

Nepheli remained expressionless.

“So Mr. Darcy labels the Infamy Rule as an experiment when, as far as I know, you haven’t even tried it.”

“Could the reason I didn’t participate in the test be that I don’t like being an experimental subject?”

Facing such an obvious probe, Fu Qian adopted an attitude of not wanting to waste words.

“I have always been an honest person. I said earlier that this little game is a bit more interesting, and that was not an unfounded judgment.”

“However, I’m curious, to define a concept out of nowhere, this is something Old Master Takahashi couldn’t do; who then is the real person in charge of this project?”

“Yasui Tokiyuki, but I do provide some technical advice.”

Nepheli sighed, finally confirming that Fu Qian was not deceiving her.

“Oh…”

Fu Qian replied as if he had just understood.

“So Old Master Yasui was still working at midnight yesterday? No wonder you mentioned he’s busy.”

…

For a moment, Fu Qian felt he was being targeted by a surge of overwhelming killing intent.

“I must say, today’s surprises are just too many!”

After a while, Nepheli voiced her heartfelt exclamation.

“But this also proves that, indeed, you are not the Night Watchman.”

“Isn’t that obvious.”

Fu Qian snorted.

“So in your opinion, Yasui Tokiyuki’s actions last night are the cause of the changes in Kagetsu Kana?”

Nepheli’s words were almost an implicit admission that last night there were indeed some manipulations with the Infamy Rule.

“What do you think then?”

As Fu Qian retorted, Nepheli realized that she might have been asking too many questions.

“It’s indeed the most likely possibility, Kagetsu Kana clearly has a special talent, what a pity that those fools never realized it.”

The next moment, she didn’t dwell on it and scoffed, showing her disdain for the idiots.

“The materialization of the Infamy concept must have inadvertently harmonized with some cultivation rule; from this perspective, Yasui Tokiyuki actually helped her.”

“Yeah, even her sister said she has become a lot more obedient.”

Fu Qian nodded repeatedly.

“No need to beat around the bush, it’s no problem to tell you.”

Nepheli huffed.

“To be honest, this feeling is really not bad, like something you’ve carefully designed finally being appreciated by someone.”

“You guessed correctly, the universal knowledge of Infamy is not simply a playful matter; its core is the plundering, or erosion, of others’ cognitive power.”

“First define and spread the concept, then endow it with Transcendent significance. So far, both steps have been carried out well.”

“Thanks to Yasui Tokiyuki’s efforts, this concept now exists in the perception of most people on Ye Island.”

“And starting from midnight yesterday, many people will find themselves incredibly persuasive, easily able to influence the will of others. Of course, they can also be influenced by those of a higher ‘tier’ or by those with a unique cognitive impact on them.”

“And it seems Kagetsu Kana’s talent requires her to engage in such acts in order to be nurtured and honed.”

It was indeed similar to his previous suppositions.

Fu Qian listened and nodded silently.

As someone who had more interactions with Kagetsu Kana, he was deeply impressed by her psychopathic level of desire for conquest and control.

And after the activation of Infamy, her boyfriend Takagi had gone completely mad, ultimately dying in pursuit of her approval.

Could it be that her path of cultivation lies in this total conquest from body to mind?

“Great minds think alike.”

Fu Qian nodded as he pondered.

“So if you’re neither Siren nor Night Watchman, what’s your purpose here? Surely you’re not really interested in our research, are you?”

Nepheli appeared unimpressed by this recognition.

“Why not?”

Fu Qian gestured to himself and Su Gao.

“The path to advancement beyond Demigod is unpredictable and mysterious, with such a good reference at hand, why not make good use of it?”

It seemed to make sense.

For a moment, Nepheli fell into contemplation, even forgetting to drink from the cup she was holding.

There!

Amidst this scene, Fu Qian suddenly turned to look at Su Gao.

“It’s all been frankly confessed; can report to the Council, take them away.”
