Chapter 2114: Chapter 2109: Haste Leads to the Wrong Path
Have they been assimilated? Itâs not surprising.
After all, when Marianne and the others took people out of the hospital, Principal Glenn was quite shocked.
Considering his awareness of the deep secrets of this world, the likelihood of the Fallen Star Clan reaching out to him to help is not small.
While introducing the stalkerâs identity, Fu Qian also judged the reason for the otherâs presence here.
Although it might seem overly imaginative at first, in his view, this is more probable than Glenn finding Esther, admitting her back to the hospital, and using situational role-play therapy.
"Also, heâs just an ordinary person. Sending him over is a cautious role. What do you think is behind their careful arrangement?"
The previous train of thought didnât even need sharing; the Witch clearly had the same view, expressing curiosity about the motives of those behind the scenes.
"This can be seen as empathetic. After the agentâs sacrifice, even though things seem calm, those of the Fallen Star are probably very uneasy. After all, of the three Divine Artifacts, maybe only one is left."
To this, Fu Qian listed his sins without a trace of guilt.
"From their perspective, the entire event started with a Leytin Nightmare under the Stars Association, luring in Awakeners like Esther, and a strange appearance of the Dark Moon Apostle, which intensified doubts about the worldâs authenticity."
The night remained silent, and no sound came from the tavern, while Principal Glenn didnât seem in a hurry to enter.
And with the Yellowbird behind, Fu Qian practiced empathy proficiently.
"After handling everything, just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, suddenly not only did the Dark Moon Apostle disappear, but even that Nightmare vanished abruptly."
"Such a surprise would clearly make them more firm in their originally mistaken belief, thinking this is the reality."
Itâs not nonsense; in Fu Qianâs view, the appearance and disappearance of the law this time were a godsend for the Fallen Star Clanâs mistaken notions.
Believing this world to be the real one, the law-supported Leytin reappeared as a Nightmare.
As a result, the progressively authentic latter, turned by the Witch into a painting within a painting, suddenly broke off its connection here again.
Facing such a change, itâs easy to think that sticking to what they think is the truth has finally led to victory, making them more stubborn in certain areas.
"Eventually, in this situation, faced with the re-emerged Nightmare integration, in my opinion, itâs highly likely it wonât scare them. Instead, it reinforces the previous belief that the Nightmare is indeed invading."
"Although this time not only is the number vast, itâs also blurring the line between reality and Dream, no longer relying on the traditional form of entering dreams but through special connection portals."
Fu Qian pointed to the path he and the Witch came, and the carriage was long gone.
"In the face of such a situation, the primary task should clearly be to sever these âpossible portalsâ."
...
"But first, we need to find them."
In Fu Qianâs description, the situation faced by the Fallen Stars seemed like black humor, yet the Witch fully agreed.
After the successive experiences, the belief that the present Leytin is real must be like a mental brand to them now, making it exceedingly hard to change.
In a crisis, sending Esther, a special case, to attempt finding the Nightmare portal and then patching it up indeed seems like a highly probable development.
"Using an ordinary person to follow Esther instead of coming in person can fully suffice on one hand, and on the other hand, it can minimize disturbances and increase the chance of discovery."
From this point of view, it also explains why Glenn is the one following.
Though the Fallen Stars donât know, there are two forces âfrom the Nightmareâ that are also not in a hurry to disturb them.
"Indeed, based on my experiences with the Fallen Stars, their greatest ability here is being able to descend upon ordinary people at any time, so thereâs no need to worry about them reacting too slowly."
Fu Qian casually added.
"The problem now is, they seem to end up empty-handed."
Pessimistic but true, finding something isnât that easy.
Experts never rely on coincidences; riding to this place, taking a few steps and bumping into key figures, helping them quickly find interesting thingsâthe development seems overly idealistic.
Though that Glenn is very cautious, sneaking peeks inside, itâs almost certain he will find nothing noteworthy.
"True, should we speed them up?"
The Witch nodded slightly in agreement and casually suggested.
"I think we can."
Without even asking how to speed up, Fu Qian directly agreed and in the next moment, walked towards the tavern with the Witch.
...
How else to speed up? Naturally, itâs to let the Fallen Stars really find something, and then see how they react.
In the blink of an eye, they reached beneath the broken window, where they could clearly see Esther was already behind the bar, standing straight there in front of the drinks.
It was as if instead of a wall of mind-numbing liquid, it was a door to a new world.
Principal Glenn stood just a few meters away, unaware of the two new spectators.
Which was normal; the Witchâs prior concealment tricks werenât shown for nothing and could evidently be extended to teammates like the Dark Moon.
"It really looks like theyâre looking for the painting."
The Witch casually commented as if no one was around, waving her hand casually.
Before Esther, the scene hadnât become a painting. Instead, behind her, a part of the wall suddenly became soft and sticky.
Shaped like a door, yet seemingly alive, even squirming quickly in some direction, trying to move away.
Uhâ
Of course, Esther couldnât see such a scene, but Glenn beside her could.
And almost instantly, a peculiar sound escaped his throat, and his body became stiff.
His reaction was indeed fast.
Noticing the anomaly and acting instantly, the dedication of the Fallen Stars was such that Fu Qian couldnât help but commend them.
From past experiences, theyâd rapidly descend, taking over the hostâs body to inspect the anomaly inside the tavern found through Estherâhmm?
Scrutinizing Glenn, who still appeared somewhat dazed, and realizing he showed no signs of transformation, Fu Qian glanced at the Witch.
"Descent failed, their ability seems to have been affected somehow, leading them astray."
The Witch nodded, indicating the Fallen Stars indeed failed to arrive.
"Set out but didnât reach?"
Fu Qian found it intriguing.
"Yes."
"So where did they go?"
"Nightmare."
As the Witch spoke, her hand reached out, almost touching Fu Qianâs face.
And though it seemed a gentle caress, the scene before them instantly dissolved into chaos.
