Chapter 1841: Chapter 1836: Midnight Shriek
Miss Liushuang still works so diligently.
After bidding farewell to Executioner Yan midway, Fu Qian didnât continue wandering aimlessly in this lively night but returned directly to the laboratory, keeping his accomplishments hidden.
Thanks to the meticulous upgrades earlier, the livability index of this placeâAhem, the research strength has made remarkable progress, and the atmosphere is no longer as bleak as before.
Almost upon entering, one can feel the hardworking research assistants in the considerable darkness from above.
Itâs not a huge movement like practicing swordsmanship, but itâs clearly not resting either, with a hint of meditative introspection.
As the Sword Heart Enlightenment progresses, the feeling now given by this person is growing clearer and transparent. If not for oneâs own ranking and perception, it would be difficult to distinguish these detailsâor even more.
Not disturbing the studying students, Fu Qian lightened his footsteps and walked straight to his exclusive seat.
I must say, this complex and lavish design is surprisingly becoming more pleasing to the eye.
While gazing at the furniture sent by the Red Moon, after expressing further appreciation for its aesthetic, Fu Qian sat down and turned his attention to another item in front of him.
Itâs similarly complex and lavish.
Gold and black intermixed, with specks of red, the patterns are dizzying, and the design is equally impressive.
Although itâs just a box.
Yes, compared to the new thing that appeared suddenly after he left, it is a small square box.
If it werenât so excessively lavish, one might think after being unreachable for a few days, the warehouse couldnât resist delivering the task here.
Now, this jewelry box-like delicacy, combined with a certain sensory masking effect, seems more like the Red Moon discovered another great item and sent their little Messengers to deliver.
Given that the recipient wasnât present, they didnât wait for a sign-off and left it here directly.
Clap!
It wasnât locked; at the next moment, with a subtle sound, Fu Qian already reached out and opened the box.
Ahâ
Almost instantly, a piercing scream, a hundred times more intense, echoed through this extraordinary night.
...
There wasnât any special transcendent effect, but it can be described as truly heart-wrenching, a direct expression of pain and fear, capable of resonating with any intelligent creature.
Considering the soul-penetrating power and the nightâs quietness, even if this place is somewhat secluded, itâs believed to be enough to impact the sleep of many Academy individuals.
In the end, it seems I have a larger presence indeed. Night Watchmanâs envoy, Demigod Su, only supervised a few people working overtime at night, which was nowhere near comparable to the effect of this single shout.
The sound indeed came from the box, and Fu Qian, at the forefront, couldnât help but be alert and invigorated.
And feeling this midnight howl, he felt no guilt about disturbing everyoneâs rest, not even closing the lid until that long howl ended.
How can you all sleep?
At this troubled time of autumn, the Academyâs acting principal, Heaven Commencementâs Temporary Leader, and many wise men from various institutes are still working tirelessly day and night.
Young students are also contemplating throughout the night, not daring to relax even slightlyâyet some people havenât gotten up at this time?
With such concern in mind, the item inside the box finally became clear.
What is this, Bone Horseshoe Crab?
And instantly, Fu Qian thought of the naming issue.
Itâs neither a divine weapon nor a rouge fragrance; itâs a thing made up of pieces of white bone.
On one hand, the structure is somewhat simple, with a flat body, slender tail, much like the exoskeleton of some ancient creature.
On the other hand, this exoskeleton is even moving.
The earlier scream seemed to be an acute response triggered by opening the box, emanating from its curled body sides.
The most crucial point, thereâs a waft of faint emerald-green glow lingering between the white bones.
...
That group of Netherworld creatures?
This combination of bone and spirit naturally reminds one of a certain mysterious place explored twice already.
And within, those creations revered by the people from the Divine Ashes Institute, considered to possess purer souls.
Just saying, after delivering two gifts in a row, now is the time for Red Moon to ease up a bit.
Having such an item here, rather than saying the Red Moon thought it might interest him and caught it to deliver, Fu Qian is more inclined to believe itâs related to another young talent from Heavenâs Commencement Institute.
Young people indeed are energetic.
"Professor Fu, youâre back."
As he was musing, a greeting voice came from behind; it was Miss Liushuang.
The earlier scream had clearly interrupted her cultivation.
However, she wasnât displeased about it, and while greeting, she casually turned on the light and looked smilingly at the returning leader.
"Your hand..."
Just then, she noticed Fu Qianâs tattered sleeve and looked surprised.
Compared to last time when he returned, this scene seemed to have experienced some danger.
"No worries, I still have eight sets."
Reminded by Ji Liushuang, Fu Qian also noticed this sad scene, shaking his head to indicate thereâs no need to worry.
Although the focus of attention differs slightly.
"Professor Lisa sent it?"
In the next moment, gesturing at the object in front, Fu Qian casually confirmed.
"Yes... She brought it over early yesterday morning, and when she found you werenât here, she specifically instructed me not to touch it carelessly."
Smiling a bit helplessly, Ji Liushuang also curiously glanced inside the box, clearly also seeing whatâs inside for the first time.
"Is this some kind of extraordinary creature? Ah, itâs trying to escape!"
...
Crack!
Miss Liushuang was right; after the initial shrinking, the peculiar creature obviously became lively.
Though its movements still resemble an old man practicing tai chi, within moments, it was attempting to crawl out.
Unfortunately, it wasnât given the chance; the next moment, Fu Qian just directly closed the box.
"Yes."
And at the same time, he affirmed Miss Liushuangâs speculation.
"Gives quite a special feeling; is it Professor Lisaâs new find? She said it was a small gift when she brought it over, although that earlier sound seemed a bit like a prank..."
Itâs evident that although she hasnât personally visited that Forbidden Area, having seen Lisaâs experimental materials, Ji Liushuangâs association is quite on point.
"Or it may be expressing dissatisfaction with the lax atmosphere at the Academy; why not let her explain personally?"
Even so, Fu Qian was in no hurry to explain much, just casually gesturing towards the door direction.
Ah?
Surprised, Ji Liushuang looked toward it, and without engaging the prohibition, the door was directly pushed open from outside, revealing Professor Lisaâs quite proud face.
"How is it?"
And almost immediately, she couldnât wait to ask.
"Very interesting."
With his hand on the box, Fu Qian thought for a while and gave a very serious compliment.
