Chapter 2509: Chapter 2504: Accident Files
This term sounds familiar.
Faced with the scene before him, Fu Qian felt a deep sense of the richness of today’s horror themes at that moment.
Of course, it wasn’t frightening, but the visuals were indeed somewhat abstract; everything seemed both real and unreal, evoking a sensation akin to massaging the brain—
The Greedy Worms not only occupied the target office but even helped hold their positions?
Even if it was just a reflection in the Domain of the Dead, it still tested one’s imagination.
Meanwhile, not only was the receptionist’s gender correct, but so were their lines.
Even the statement about temporarily not accepting social business, at the time when I consulted in person, Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist was indeed the only eavesdropper among the Greedy Worms.
Including those slightly bewildered eyes, there was truly a touch of the charm of someone working themselves to heartbreak.
"Did she say the same thing last time you came here?"
For a moment, nodding to confirm, Fu Qian looked towards Selana and directly commented on the receptionist in front of everyone.
"The tone is similar, but lacking such a good reason."
Under the cover of mosaic, of course, Selana’s expression could never be seen, but hearing her tone, surprisingly, carried some astonishment.
Indeed, this balance of life and death is truly wondrous.
Though it was merely a small detail, at that moment Fu Qian had more feelings about the reflection of death.
The reason why Selana didn’t hear this reason the last time was simple; I hadn’t gone to the "escort agency" then, and Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist in the outside world hadn’t heard it either.
Though Laurie and the others had been monitoring all along, from their behavior at the time, it was apparent they had never visited or held business talks.
So, the information the entity comes in contact with in the outside world continuously projects inward?
It seems indeed more vivid than two separate worlds.
"It sounds quite professional, but if it’s only three of them, wouldn’t such a large place be a waste?"
Agreeing with Selana’s point, Fu Qian looked towards the depth of the office, successfully spotting two familiar figures.
Laurie and Brother Shu Lan were sitting in separate cubicles, behaving even more low-key than those in the real world, not even glancing this way until now.
"I remember you came here wanting to find the Death Overlord’s enlightenment from them... instead of asking me such questions, shouldn’t you be asking them other things?"
Unfortunately, this time Selana didn’t directly answer; instead, she reminded Fu Qian that his focus seemed slightly askew.
"That’s indeed reasonable, but you’ve probably already asked about the rest, right?"
Without denying her statement, at that moment Fu Qian shook his head, seemingly able to imagine the scene when Selana came here before.
Hmm...
At that moment, the Half-god of the Bloodline Clan didn’t utter a word, creating a strong impression that she was seriously scrutinizing this side.
"Indeed, I have asked some... but it is worth trying again, perhaps like just now, new answers may emerge."
After a brief silence, when Selana spoke again, no anomaly could be detected, her reasoning even was sound.
...
The instinct for survival is indeed innate.
For Fu Qian, he could somewhat grasp the implication behind that scrutiny.
Don’t treat others as fools.
As mentioned before, dealing with this Half-god of the Bloodline Clan, my methods have indeed been a little ruthless, leaving some psychological shadows.
And from just now until now, I had not deliberately concealed my personal style, even in Selana’s cognition, the bookstore owner’s rank was also indeed a demigod.
As a result, despite having Ah Wei’s identity, it was still difficult to prevent Lady Selana from making connections, at this moment, she might again have the impression of the bookstore owner.
But as noted earlier, if I reveal my identity, the implications would indeed be somewhat exaggerated, which could mean considerable pressure for both her and Gulad.
Thus, without sufficient grounds, even if there were some suspicion, it would probably be subconsciously denied under such consideration... just like earlier.
"Makes sense. Have they been sitting here all along?"
Amidst pondering the subtleties of the human heart, Fu Qian nodded, looking as if he were contemplating how to phrase his question, while curious about the states of the three.
"It seems so, their condition is quite strange; they possess certain communicative abilities but adhere to some rigid behavioral patterns."
Selana agreed with Fu Qian’s assessment, casually sharing her own insights.
"Compared to all the forms seen before, this already sounds relatively normal; in your perception, what makes them different?"
Fu Qian rather thought it was fine, speaking as he approached Brother Shu Lan in front of him, observing him up and down.
"Otherwise, I doubt you’d have so coincidentally found this place."
...
"You’re right, I can indeed sense their difference... especially as I further integrate into this place."
As Fu Qian spoke so directly, Selana hesitated briefly and was candid for a moment.
She even spoke while glimmering light circulated, unreservedly demonstrating the fire ignited upon her body.
"Although it was not my intention, that feeling is very special, allowing me to penetrate the storm and sense more, thereafter I discovered them during my search."
Indeed, never blindly use coincidence to explain things.
Selana’s explanation, undeniably for Fu Qian, seemed more reasonable.
It wasn’t untrue she entered earlier, but considering the distance between here and the harbor, it wouldn’t easily be possible to bump into the Greedy Worms’ nest.
The fact that Selana discovered this place was likely following a specific trail, like her special status.
There are pros and cons to everything; as she further integrates into death, will she become even more at ease in this Realm of the Dead?
And Laurie and the others, for being Death God’s Favored, might also exhibit distinct behaviors.
"What attracted you to them?"
Fu Qian continued to verify a crucial question.
"More complete, perhaps even more real... their will, though not as lucid, seemed more belonging to this place than most people—much like myself."
After carefully considering her phrasing, Selana finally spoke, seemingly in self-mockery.
"I see... much like you."
Fu Qian, however, mercilessly added another comment, his hand absently waving in front of Brother Shu Lan.
"What are you doing here?"
Unfortunately, the latter merely glanced over before continuing to appear lost in thought.
"They won’t answer, even in such a state, still very cautious."
This situation seemed familiar to Selana, casually adding from the side, evidently having asked the same question previously.
"Understood."
Fu Qian did not press the matter, nor did he continue questioning, instead, his gaze fell upon a dusty file rack beside them, retrieving a document from it.
[Number: 07]
[Type of Incident: XX]
[Death Count: XX, Significant]
[Permanently Retained]
...
Surprisingly, it was an accident dossier, unfortunately, most of its already sparse content was heavily redacted—
So, is this how the missing escort agency members are projected?
Yet for Fu Qian, it didn’t hinder seeing the essence through phenomena, reminding him of the tombstones he had seen before.
