Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 685: Chapter 683: Reversal Project_1 Chapter 685: Chapter 683: Reversal Project_1 Is it that definite?

Fu Qian knew Su Gao’s personality well; if he spoke with such certainty, then it must be quite assured.

It seemed that the ability to resurrect from the dead, even in this world, was exceedingly rare.

Yet such a miraculous power had appeared in an ordinary person.

Fu Qian recalled the couple he had just seen.

Of course, in sociological terms, Kagetsu Kana was not ordinary.

“According to normal evaluation criteria, Kagetsu Kana is indeed an ordinary person, but just now I seemed to feel that she is having a mild, chaotic impact on her surroundings,” he reflected.

Su Gao continued to comment from the side.

“This is indeed a peculiar manifestation.”

“I agree,” Fu Qian heaved a sigh.

The facts had proved that Su Gao was indeed astute.

At first sight, Fu Qian had also become aware of this change.

Different from last time, on Kagetsu Kana, one could now perceive something.

Mild chaos, hard to define.

Fu Qian believed that if just any other Demigod were to come by, they probably wouldn’t notice it.

And during the last task, she hadn’t reached this extent yet.

The observation plan had finally not been in vain.

“Did Kagetsu Kana ever use the Miracle Elixir from Yasui Corp?”

At this point, Su Gao continued to ask.

She remembered very clearly the content of Fu Qian’s communication with Suzune Sawame.

“HAP0032-667, wriggling 7,” Fu Qian reported back a code directly.

He remembered that thing quite clearly.

And from Su Gao’s tone, it was evident she was no stranger to the good deeds of Yasui Corp.

It was not surprising, after all, she even knew that the King of Ye Island might be related to the Native Council.

“In fact, I have also drunk it,” he indicated himself the next moment.

“But there was no special manifestation.”

An ineffective formula that gave rise to Transcendent abilities akin to a miracle?

Su Gao fell back into deep thought, her gaze even becoming incisive, seemingly quite interested in this deduction game.

“If we assume the elixir is ineffective, then it seems there’s only one explanation, which is that her resurrection is not due to the elixir, but is related to her own self.”

“A reasonable guess; in fact, there’s another issue that supports this point, which is that she was extraordinarily charismatic even before that,” Fu Qian described Kagetsu Kana’s previous outstanding charisma and Brother Takagi’s fascination with her to Su Gao.

“That’s much more plausible,” Su Gao nodded.

“That special influence she has, although it’s difficult to define specifically, intuitively feels similar to a demonstration of robust reproductive force.”

Reproductive force demonstration? This description was indeed apt.

Overall, Fu Qian very much approved of Su Gao’s deduction.

But there was an issue that should not be overlooked—the previous task.

As a fully flexible and mature employee, Fu Qian was highly certain that each of his tasks was meaningful.

Whether it was about prevention or troubleshooting, in summary, it was about some issues arising during operations, requiring someone like him to perform a “correction” action.

This also fit well with the concept of re-containment of the warehouse.

And his last task was very straightforward: to ensure Kagetsu Kana completed the test “normally.”

If Kagetsu Kana alone was the issue, they could have had him directly take her out.

So just like the previous guess, the “test” was the focus.

The ultimate goal of the task was likely to have “wriggling 7” completely negated and discarded.

From this perspective, the formula must have some special aspects to it.

Of course, it wouldn’t be abandoned now—because aside from Kagetsu Kana, another test subject had exhibited such astonishing changes that they rocked the world.

Just now, in front of Asao Sakura, he deliberately showed off his skills again, originally aiming to kill two birds with one stone.

On one hand, it was a tactic to lure the snake out of its hole, taking the opportunity for a reverse investigation.

On the other hand, Creep 7 would once again receive attention, allowing for a closer examination of what made it special.

“You make sense, Kagetsu Kana’s abnormalities very likely originate from her own body.”

With this thought in mind, Fu Qian looked toward Su Gao, concluding this pleasant exchange of inferences.

“However, at the same time, I have obtained a certain special yet powerful piece of evidence which suggests the Miracle Elixir might indeed be somewhat extraordinary.”

“So in our actions ahead, we still need to be mindful of some related variables.”

“Alright.”

Fu Qian did not disclose what the evidence was, and Su Gao didn’t ask, readily agreeing to his suggestion.

“With them constantly following us, could our actions just now rekindle their interest in Kagetsu Kana?”

“Don’t worry, they are now interested in me.”

A smile played on Fu Qian’s face.

Someone was watching from a distance—he and Su Gao were well aware of this all along.

Asao Sakura even said she was a team member.

After they had parted, arranging for someone to continue keeping an eye on his actions was only natural.

However, it was clear that considering the possibility of his own understanding with the Night Watchman, they dared not follow too closely.

This could easily be inferred from the unrestrained discussion between him and Su Gao.

“Capital is always ruthless toward a project that’s been discarded.”

…

Perhaps triggered by Fu Qian’s words, Su Gao fell silent for a moment.

“If I think about it, I once lived on Ye Island for quite a long time.”

After a while, she slowly began to speak, unusually proactive in changing the subject.

“Oh? No wonder you seemed familiar with this place.”

Fu Qian responded in a very cooperative manner.

“Not exactly familiar, since it was something from my childhood.”

There was no fluctuation in Su Gao’s tone.

“At that time, the emotions of the people around were not very good, and it was mostly just mom and me.”

“After she passed away, a neighbor, old Master Ailei, also took good care of me. He was a very nice person.”

“It sounds like you don’t have much love for this place.”

“I don’t.”

Su Gao was quite certain in her response.

“After Grandpa Ailei passed away, I left…”

It was nearing noon at this time, and there were quite a few more pedestrians on the road than before.

Blending into the crowd in her current attire, she was by no means conspicuous.

And her peaceful narration while strolling seemed just like a young person fondly recalling a beautiful childhood.

But Fu Qian knew all too well what lay behind her words.

So according to her, she must have found the Night Watchman of Ye Island back then and stayed on the island to take care of old Master Ailei for a while after the storm had passed.

…

“You can take a rest first; our guests probably won’t take long to arrive.”

It hadn’t taken much time for the two of them to make their way back.

“Okay.”

Responding positively to Fu Qian’s suggestion, Su Gao went upstairs on her own.

Watching her retreating figure disappear, Fu Qian sat down in his own spot.

Considering there was still some time…

The next moment, he snapped his fingers, and the Return Edict activated.

With only three-quarters of this week’s work completed, and although they were now on a flexible schedule, and it was very likely there would be no punishment even if he skipped work, it was still good to clock in.
