Chapter 1461: Chapter 1459 Artificial Existence Core (29)
This indeed is local culture.
Being constantly targeted, Fu Qian didnât have any reaction to the potential for a destructive attack at any moment, but instead looked at the exquisite weapon itself with deep emotion.
At this point in time, the identity of the person standing in front of him was not difficult to guess.
Considering the clear demigod level involved, it was evident that this was the one who had granted Leland two talismans and helped devise the marking plan.
So from the beginning until now, hasnât the proportion of gunpowder weapons among the Night Watchmen on Losâs side been a bit too high?
Recalling the Chief Yuanâs side, where the warehouse was full of unused ammunition, Fu Qian suddenly felt that he should help consume some of the stock more often.
"As long as you are aware of your limits, how should I address you?"
The thought crossed his mind without delaying a nod in salutation, and he inquired courteously.
"A name is just a code, you can call me Thirteen."
The gunman, maintaining an elegant demigod demeanor, answered with almost no hesitation.
...
So the bald guy isnât called Forty-Seven, but his boss is called Thirteen?
The code name given by the female gunman, though Fu Qian had seen much in his life, left him awestruck and slightly bemused.
"Whatâs the matter, youâre not one to dwell on such things, are you?"
However, it seemed the concerned party misunderstood his reaction, prompting Thirteen, the demigod, to frown slightly and ask curiously.
"Of course, itâs not my real name, just like I donât think youâre really called Grimshaw."
"Indeed not, just suddenly thought that if people chose code names with your style, Iâd call old Leland Forty-Seven."
Waving his hand as if the other shouldnât think too much, Fu Qian explained offhandedly.
Forty-Seven?
Thirteen seemed utterly puzzled by the logic, her face a picture of confused surprise.
Even so, she clearly didnât want to waste time on this and didnât pursue the matter further.
"So can Chief of the Night Watchman Thirteen explain that shot just now?"
Fu Qian was quite pleased with this response, using it to transition to the main topic.
No matter the circumstances, on the surface at least, she seemed willing to maintain a proactive attitude towards communication rather than blatantly stalling for time.
"Itâs simple, just like Leland told you, if you refuse to cooperate, youâll face endless pursuit."
Fu Qianâs words seemed to remind Thirteen of the gun in her hand, as she explained, satisfied.
"That shot earlier was mainly to persuade you to carefully consider whether you really wanted to leave."
"So if I donât want to get hit by a second shot, itâs best I go back for another taste of Mrs. Wesleyâs wine?"
Unsurprised by this answer, Fu Qian pointed behind him.
"You donât have to disturb that poor soul if youâre willing to take a stroll nearby."
As the Chief of Los, Thirteen seemed rather flexible, gesturing outside the courtyard wall.
...
"And if you want to know how that shot achieved such an effect...what is your impression of it?"
Moments later, walking alongside Fu Qian outside the courtyard, Thirteen casually displayed her weapon while asking.
"Itâs a very good weapon, but not enough to perform that kind of attack."
Just a glance, and Fu Qian made his appraisal offhandedly.
This was no idle remark; from the first moment he recognized that though the two guns carried by Thirteen were Extraordinary Items like the bullets within, their ranking was not excessively high.
Although the visual impact of that shot was not overly extravagant, the intrinsic destructive power it contained could rival that of his Air Bullet when fully activated.
If such results could be achieved with just two weapons, it would indeed be rather staggering.
"Exactly, in fact, that has to do with my ability."
Casually drawing out another gun, Thirteen adeptly manipulated both with flair.
"As Leland mentioned earlier, I can catalyze any transcendent structure, igniting them into a burning state, whether items or abstract attacks."
"You could essentially view me as an arsonist, igniting everything everywhere like a mage, giving transcendent power exaggerated forms that culminate in the effect you just witnessed."
"Understood, I must say the design of your âstaffâ is quite unique."
The detailed explanation was met with Fu Qianâs earnest respect and timely commentary.
"And itâs even dual-wielded."
In light tone, just a little thought revealed that if true, Losâs Chief in front of him could unleash terror when in action.
No charging required, no forewarning, each casually fired bullet would carry such formidable power.
Though this ability surely came with its costs, making it impossible to sustain indefinitely.
Until this person became exhausted, it was nearly like having infinite firepower, capable of condensing terrifying attacks on a targetâs head in very short bursts.
Even with varied forms.
Besides Lelandâs earlier demonstration, from this distance Fu Qian could clearly sense numerous different transcendental effects carried by the bullets within the gun.
"Staff...indeed, thatâs an apt description."
Thirteen, not modest about the dual-wield comment, locked eyes with Fu Qian and nodded slightly.
"I can indeed use them simultaneously, so your concern is valid."
...
"Such extraordinary power, thank you for explaining."
Despite the apparent threat intent and potential delay tactics accompanying the introduction, Fu Qian expressed gratitude for the knowledge gained.
Learning indeed knows no bounds.
"...So I wonder, why did you reject the previous suggestion?"
Seemingly sensing sincerity, Thirteenâs reaction turned somewhat peculiar.
After a brief hesitation, she asked what seemed like a long-standing question.
"I canât imagine any downsides to friendly cooperation compared to the current situation. Do you think the pursuit threat is just to scare you?"
"Why would you think that? Iâve always trusted the Night Watchmanâs credibility."
Fu Qian feigned exaggerated surprise.
"In fact, thatâs precisely why I refused to cooperate...if I donât flee, how would you show up?"
"...Youâve been waiting for me to appear all along."
Though wearing sunglasses that covered much of her face, Thirteenâs slight grit of teeth betrayed clear emotions.
"Indeed, just as youâve been listening to movements on this side all along."
"...I devised the plan myself, isnât it natural to pay attention? But whatâs the point of you doing this? Forcing me to appear is somehow advantageous to you?"
Of course, it is, and not just for one reason.
Facing the displeased Chief of the Night Watchman, who showed evident irritation for being schemed against, Fu Qian casually activated the Clear Dream Ring.
"What are you doing?"
As expected, almost instantaneously snapping out of any influence, Thirteenâs two guns simultaneously trained directly on him.
