Chapter 1449: Chapter 1447 Artificial Existence Core (17)

Earlier...

The turbocharged questioning appeared to be more effective than comforting words.

In the midst of intense psychological torment, having a sudden target made Claire stop retching in her distraction.

With heavy breaths, she closed her eyes, wiped the corner of her mouth, and dared not glance at the ”wall” again.

Meanwhile, her thoughts raced, subconsciously shifting her focus.

”I never had this awareness before, but upon careful thought, Lek’s fall did seem odd back then.”

As she concentrated, Claire’s expression shifted, as if she truly gained some insight.

”How so?”

The effect was so pronounced that Fu Qian, from his tone to his demeanor, flawlessly played along.

”At that time, Lek was still working at the hospital. During a gathering, we talked about some rare illnesses, and then he shared some bizarre cases followed by very peculiar remarks.”

In Claire’s speech, one could sense her internal horror.

”He said that those seemingly ugly things were actually flowers blooming in the flesh, possessing an incomprehensible beauty...”

”Sounds like a novel perspective indeed.”

Fu Qian nodded appropriately, cooperatively diligent.

”But you all didn’t feel anything strange, did you?”

Claire needed her own inspiration to recall this, indicating that while the conversation was peculiar, it didn’t render her understanding impossible.

”Yes, at that time, after a group of us were surprised, someone quickly speculated it was his professional insight, offering a different perspective, and he didn’t deny it, even continued sharing—”

Claire’s expression seemed somewhat lost.

”He said those things were not external to him but part of himself, and indeed an exciting part.”

”The more I listened, the more unsettling it became, and upon realizing others felt similarly, I stopped him from further scaring people...”

...

Part of oneself, indeed an interesting notion.

Fu Qian undoubtedly listened intently to Claire’s recollection, fully understanding her bewilderment.

Lek’s odd statements, from Claire’s current viewpoint, naturally hinted at revelations unperceived at the time.

Yet to Fu Qian, if this was the sole implication, his earlier comments seemed pretentious.

Compared to others, the extra insight he held regarded the special dream resistance Claire and Winona possessed.

In fact, not just those two anymore; earlier, Fu Qian casually tested several times along the way.

It proved that nearly all the Wesley Family’s servants were in the same state.

This typical scene of widespread pollution once again confirmed the foresight of previous strategic actions.

And the deeper meaning behind it now led Fu Qian to more associations.

Part of oneself...

If one took it literally, was Lek spreading pollution akin to melting everyone into one entity?

If this were true, his intuition regarding the oath might not have been baseless.

Typically, Oath Takers trade the essence of independent selfhood, becoming Divine Beings’ vassals, gaining Transcendent gifts.

In contrast, the pollution Lek brought seemed to yield only negatives, offering no benefits?

Judging from Lek’s demeanor, he clearly knew this.

The chaotic human structures, from his perspective, truly seemed to align with his statements, indeed the ’exciting’ part of oneself.

Because their original owners had been polluted by him as patients, assimilated into his ”body”.

If this hypothesis were correct, it would mean Los’s side had far more victims than meets the eye.

Of course, the reason and goal behind this pollution remain undetermined for now.

But the value of this trip exceeded expectations, not only completing the investigation but successfully urging Claire to provide vital information.

Now, it seems time to leave.

”Thank you, I’ll try to find them as soon as possible.”

In the next moment, Fu Qian nodded to the still dazed Claire.

”Our exchange, when people arrive later, needn’t be kept secret.”

”Ah... what people are coming?”

Awakening from her memories, Claire started nervously, instinctively refraining from commenting.

Mainly because it was hard to discern if the other’s words were sincere.

”The righteous ones, perhaps.”

Casually responding, Fu Qian snapped his fingers, and the only light in the room, like a magic trick, went out.

In reality, it was struck off by a hair clip he tossed.

Ah—

The sudden engulfing Darkness, coupled with the earlier painted atmosphere, finally unleashed the decibels Claire had been forcefully suppressing.

”Stop!”

With a scream, a figure rushed in, stirring the murky air again.

Ka!

With a light switch flick, Darkness vanished and light returned.

Winona, dressed, stood there, fully alert and observing her surroundings; unfortunately, aside from the helpless Claire, no one was present.

...

”Don’t worry, they are gone.”

The silent standoff persisted for quite some time, until the victim’s screams ceased, and Winona finally adjusted, approaching her friend.

”Winona, I’m okay...”

The earlier high pitch seemed to have vented some of Claire’s negative emotions.

With light restored and reinforcements arrived, her mood considerably calmed as she quickly greeted her friend.

”That guy... he’s just the swindler I met today, I’m not sure how he did it, but suddenly he appeared before me...”

Speaking, Claire couldn’t help but look around.

”Just like he suddenly disappeared now...”

Honestly, I don’t know either.

Claire’s analysis left Winona momentarily disoriented.

Not only unsure how the figure achieved such ghostly stealth, but also uncertain if their dialogue was overheard.

”Maybe he already obtained what he wanted... Why did he have you bring him here?”

Just like Leland mentioned, some things are futile to dwell on, and the next moment, Winona shifted topics, voicing her curiosity.

”This... maybe because this room is Lek’s secret chamber—sorry, there were some things I didn’t tell you earlier.”

This question gave Claire a brief pause, but she quickly opted for candidness.

”Initially, I thought it wasn’t important, never expected that guy seemed to value it highly, and even the evidence proved there were indeed strange things inside.”

Even now, Claire intuitively only used her peripheral vision to glance at the ”wall”, briefly explaining what her husband might have done here.

And recounting the entire process of being invited to explore.
