Chapter 1661: Chapter 1656: Mutual Unknowability
Compared to the divine and noble appearance, Brother Sanxunâs humanity actually seems to be maintained quite well.
For example, the little thoughts of arrogance, not fitting into the grand scheme.
His first appearance from behind was actually quite natural.
After all, given the limitations, at first glance this place almost looks like a newly cleared sewer, even the dimensions are rather conservative, leaving him few places to make his entrance.
And being deeply bound to this place, itâs not surprising he can perceive the unseen rules and utilize them.
But after successfully landing a critical backstab, leaving without capitalizing on the victory seemed a bit pretentious.
The damage, suddenly amplified inexplicably, is enough to panic even someone who is psychologically prepared, coupled with such unyielding behavior, truly maximizes the mental stimulation.
But thatâs for normal people.
After the earlier exchanges, Fu Qian believes this Third Follower should have long abandoned such naive perceptions about opponents like him.
Obviously, heâs the type that doesnât shed tears until he sees the coffin.
The most reasonable way to deal with someone like him is to deliver the entire blow upon meeting, wasting not a single sentiment.
Thus, Brother Sanxunâs hit-and-run tactics Fu Qian prefers to interpret as having another purpose.
Like guarding against a moment like now, when suddenly mid-thought you turn around, and thus quickly grasp a new rule.
"Not bad, your reaction is even faster than I imagined."
"I believe you will increasingly realize what constitutes the essence of power."
Failing to land a final backstab, yet Sanxun didnât overly fret over it, even generously offering praise.
"What are you doing? Donât tell me thereâs someone in there talking to you right now."
And even before Fu Qian could say anything, Huang Leji, already stunned by his continuous pivoting, couldnât help but growl lowly beside him.
Indeed, is it the information only I can receive?
"Yes."
Given prior suspicion, Fu Qian wasnât too startled by this bizarre scene.
In fact, in the next moment, he didnât bother to hide it, earnestly nodding at Huang Leji.
"What you mentioned should be those ubiquitous, even increasingly rigorous rules as one delves deeper."
Without waiting for Huang Leji to speak, Fu Qian turned back to continue the conversation with the Third Follower.
Although this personâs message only Fu Qian could receive, he still could share his words, letting everyone gain insight.
"But since youâre so compelling, why not just tell me, so I can strictly abide?"
"Hehe... Rules donât merely signify obedience; violating them and facing punishment is also a manifestation."
Facing Fu Qianâs overly familiar suggestion, Sanxun seemed uninterested in entangling further, quickly dissipating with a cold laugh.
...
"What did he say?"
Stirring minds has always been a skill, and it was evident Elder Huang Leji really didnât want to go mad with Fu Qian, but Fu Qianâs query couldnât help but ignite his curiosity.
"He said while adhering to rules is indeed commendable, being punished for mistakes is also gratifying."
And Fu Qian didnât hold back, actually sharing Sanxunâs response.
While speaking, he gazed at Sha Ming, who hadnât spoken for quite a while.
Due to his withered appearance, nothing could be discerned on Sha Mingâs face.
Even Fu Qian didnât really doubt he couldnât see Sanxun.
Yet here lies a questionâif others canât see the Third Follower who only interacts with him, is it possible that he also cannot see some Cycle Enforcer that interacts with them?
This is an extremely simple reverse thinking but easily overlooked.
Thankfully, with the wide-ranging thoughts of a madman, even though Sha Ming was entirely opposite, displaying no bizarre actions throughout, Fu Qian still didnât rule out the possibility of an unseen Cycle Enforcer interacting with him all along.
Many passionate mangas have said itâto believe in the power of teammates.
Especially Brother Sha Ming has already exhibited extraordinary qualities before.
"Anyway, it seems like we should keep heading down now."
Meeting Fu Qianâs gaze in the next moment, Sha Ming chose to forcibly shift the topic, directing everyoneâs attention back to reality.
This...
It was evident Huang Leji hoped Sha Ming could provide more commentary, yet unfortunately, the current situation clearly exceeded control.
The two before him, one a mysterious figure utterly fearless of death, the other holding many secrets, seemingly having the suspicion of a puppet master.
And as the team leader, he seemed unable to offer any counter-control approach.
"Itâs time to move forward, and nobody shrinks back!"
However, this hesitation lasted only a few breaths before Huang Leji decided, shouting at the confused team members.
"But..."
In such a place, the psychological pressure of no return is not easily endured, finally the previously compliant members couldnât resist showing hesitation.
"Fools, use your brains to thinkâat times like this, the more you shrink back, the less you can save your lives!"
Of course, this greeted them with Old Master Huangâs unceremonious rebuke.
...
The more you charge ahead, the higher the chance of survival.
Under the drive of survival instinct, human thoughts often accelerate in processing.
So although Huang Lejiâs words initially seemed contradictory, quickly someoneâs eyes lighted up, instinctively looking toward Fu Qian and Sha Ming.
Their previous performances undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to morale.
One, defying human nature, ignored the mortal threats brought by bonds, the other directly displayed the ability to sever bonds, seemingly leaving the rest without a chip in the game.
But is it really so?
No chance, only waiting to be slaughtered?
In these crisis-laden depths, if one person meets a mishap, perhaps Sha Ming can handle it as earlier, but a group?
Wouldnât the death transmitted before he could sever each bond be enough to make him crumble?
Considering this, a group actively charging ahead would instead make him abandon that stance of using others as resources, turning to protect the group from harm.
Truly living by dying.
"Understood."
Instantly, the new concept proposed by the Old Master Huang gained much recognition.
People already silently, directly rushed toward the sole path in the confined space.
"We seem to need to depart too, honorable Cycle Enforcer."
Brother Sha Mingâs cultivation is evidently remarkable, facing such a scenario and Elder Huangâs gaze, he still calmly invited Fu Qian with a smile.
Though the final address sounded somewhat profound.
