Chapter 1893: Chapter 1888: Silent Spirit
Do you know what this place is for?
Faced with Fu Qianâs astonishing quick change of mood, Lanaia couldnât help but inwardly grumble.
However, it was fortunate that Professor Viron was so cultivated today, choosing not to take offense, and avoiding the farce of a fight breaking out on the spot was certainly a good thing.
Though, listening to their exchange, it somehow felt like a bigger drama was yet to come.
"No noise... Do you two want to go in and take another look?"
Even amidst her worries, Lanaia quickly regained her composure and clarified their intentions.
However, she still hoped Professor Fu wasnât clairvoyant, coming specifically to stir up trouble.
Especially as he brought the Night Watchman in coordination.
"Yes, thank you for your efforts."
Relief washed over her as the next response came naturally from Su Gao.
And the person beside her had no intention of interrupting, finally showing a bit of professional consultant demeanor.
Although they both seemed a bit too diligent.
Previously, in Professor Fuâs laboratory, Ms. Su mentioned that after they forwarded the initial investigation findings, feedback from the Night Watchmen was to patiently wait, yet here they were so soon.
But either way, as those in charge, itâs only natural to come over and check, perhaps a new problem suddenly occurred to them.
Therefore, after confirming they didnât need her to accompany them, Lanaia naturally waved them through.
...
"Was the commotion just now caused by Viron and his team?"
Benevolence Institute, still in disrepair.
After all, theoretically, it had only been a few hours since leaving here.
Without needing words, the two promptly headed straight for the previously explored underground area.
Staring at the "door" she had hewed out, Su Gao didnât rush to display her swordsmanship again. Instead, she turned to softly verify.
"Yes, and clearly, Professor Lanaya and the others werenât deeply affected."
Confirming her suspicion offhandedly, Fu Qian wore a careless, happy-go-lucky expression.
"Shall we stay here for a while then leave, or should we go back inside and take another look?"
Nodding, Su Gao continued to ascertain Fu Qianâs intention.
Before coming, the consultant explicitly stated the purpose was to figure out what had caused the earlier commotion.
Results had proven the otherâs calculations to be spot on.
Considering leaving now might look too deliberate, she voluntarily suggested a symbolic inspection.
"The headquartersâ suggestion was strongly against entering the âshipâ again before their final decision, wasnât it?"
Casually surveying the surroundings, Fu Qian confirmed the specific instructions Su Gao had previously received.
"Yes."
It was no surprise Fu Qian could guess, but Su Gao seemed a bit curious that the consultant seemed genuinely unprepared to leave like that.
"Being open to listening to othersâ opinions, so we wonât go in, but we wonât rush off, either."
Fu Qian chuckled, clearly not wanting to put Su Zhiyan in a difficult position.
There was definitely some necessity to stir things a bit at the Divine Ashes Institute, yet Su Gao didnât mind accompanying him on this trip.
But as a dignified Evil God, how could he forget the commendable tradition of achieving multiple objectives in one go?
"Now, letâs continue the previous tests, the second phase."
Speaking, Fu Qian had even directly activated the Clear Dream Ring.
...
The development was a bit unexpected, yet it seemed just right.
In a brief moment of surprise, Su Gao, as before, controlled her instinctive resistance, immersing herself into the dreamscape, even more smoothly this time.
"Do you think we might get different results in this place? What kind of assistance do you need from me?"
In the next moment, looking at a scene seemingly unchanged, Su Gao seriously ascertained her duties.
"The same as before, walk to the outside."
Fu Qian had obviously thought it through, pointing directly at the blocked passage Su Gao had carved out.
"Inside is the edge of the dreamscape. If similar situations arise again, just record your feelings; no need to expend effort discerning sounds."
"And if anything unusual arises, donât rush to explore too far."
He quickly covered safety precautions for the experiment.
"Understood."
Listening carefully, as Professor Fu slipped into a relaxed state almost instantly, Su Gao didnât delay, stepping forward.
And the next moment, she indeed opened another door at the passageâs end, stepping into a seemingly impenetrable Darkness.
Again, under Fu Qianâs gaze, she vanished from the dreamscape.
...
Truly, a comparison canât be drawn!
With considerable certainty, the scene remained emblematic of the Mental World as an ocean.
A complete outsider like him was turned away at the gates, meanwhile Su Gao, evidently without prior experience, seemed as comfortable stepping into any random dream as returning home.
"Did anything stand out?"
Relief came nonetheless, as this time Su Gao awoke quickly.
Just as Fu Qian was expressing his marvel, he realized she was already slowly opening her eyes.
Not wasting this efficiency, Fu Qian immediately canceled the Clear Dream Ring, signaling to the volunteer.
"There was."
She furrowed her brow slightly but confirmed affirmatively with a nod.
"It still felt like stepping into the sea, but compared to last time, it was surprisingly quiet inside, without a sound..."
The contrast seemed to leave Su Gao feeling somewhat disheartened.
"Not in its entirety, confined to a specific zone, although I could determine this much, both its location and size were highly counterintuitive, and until I woke up, I hadnât reached its edge."
"Considering the peculiar circumstances and your advice not to wander extensively, I chose to end the dreamscape intentionally."
She continued diligently outlining the test process along the way.
"Very good."
Sensitive, decisive, and strictly adhering to experimental rulesâa favorite amongst researchers.
Especially since this second phase appeared to yield different insights.
Amid his lavish praise, Fu Qian swiftly analyzed the information Su Gao brought back.
It still felt like the Mental World, consistent with the earlier fleeting glimpse, undeniably so.
Yet the sounds had vanished, within a vaguely definable zone...
The description of this zone subtly resonated with the abstract representation of the previous ark, but the disappearance of the sound, what could it specifically signify...
"Have you heard stories related to enormous wooden ships or disasters?"
In contemplation, Fu Qian suddenly turned to look at the volunteer quietly standing aside.
"...Yes."
It was evident that Su Gao was somewhat startled by the question, but she admitted without hesitation.
"Heard similar fairy tales when I was a child."
Exactly... this person must have a treasure of a mother.
