Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 818: Chapter 816: A Special Q&A Game Chapter 818: Chapter 816: A Special Q&A Game Fu Qian said to Su Gao that if she didn’t understand, she should ask, which naturally wasn’t referring to Kisaragi Chie, the second-rate fortuneteller.

Just like he had said before, even if Kisaragi Chie were to beat the drums and gong about the news of Yasui Tokiyuki death, no one would believe it.

But regarding his whereabouts, there was one person who was certain to react intensely and care immensely—Miss Nepheli.

Without a doubt, this technical advisor from the Native Council knew that Yasui Tokiyuki had come to trouble her and Su Gao.

Now his whereabouts were unknown, and as the designer of the ritual ceremony, she must be quite clear about Sybil’s state, which now had also become problematic.

The reason why Sybil had become so uncontrollably erratic could be easily inferred from what Yasui Tokiyuki had said.

This Demigod had two clearly defined wills in his head, one of which was twisted and forcibly instilled.

Even knowing that it was abnormal, under the violent suppression of Yasui Tokiyuki, she was still compelled to act according to that twisted will.

And the scene at the sea made it clear that it was because Yasui Tokiyuki had lost his authority, and this violent suppression had become imbalanced.

Miss Nepheli might not care about how many people died at Yasui Corp, but once Sybil’s issue arose, she was certain to know that something was wrong with Yasui Tokiyuki.

For a newly initiated First Phase to meet an accident was certainly bizarre, but as a technical advisor, if she were cautious enough, she should have fled in an instant.

This was of course a possibility, but Fu Qian chose to believe in Miss Nepheli’s Scholar attributes, her thirst for knowledge, and that she would seek to understand what had happened.

Fortuitously, Miss Nepheli, although she had no courage to face him directly, seemed to have refrained from fleeing and had used what she believed to be the safest method to quietly figure out what was going on.

…

“Ask her which aspect truly counts as a gain.”

Fu Qian observed Miss Nepheli, who didn’t even bother to find herself a seat, standing there directly.

She was obviously not as leisurely as the last time and even began to speak directly.

And this simple sentence indicated that she was indeed very anxious, and it also suggested that she most likely had only affected Kisaragi Chie.

That is to say, apart from himself, who had control over the Dream, even Su Gao would probably not be able to see her.

“For Violetta, what kind would count as a gain?”

And facing her command, Kisaragi Chie carried it out very naturally.

“Knowledge.”

Su Gao also played her role quite smoothly, responding fluently.

“Knowledge?”

The answer quite obviously confused Kisaragi Chie.

“Extraordinary scope?”

“Yes, sometimes the way forward cannot be seen clearly, and any elimination of confusion is a gain.”

Su Gao spoke eloquently, without much concealment.

Although everything appeared normal, having had the experience once, she clearly remembered the guidance given to her before coming here—just to ask if she didn’t understand and not to worry about anything.

“So you’re also interested in Extraordinary Power?” Kisaragi Chie asked, surprise evident in her tone, glancing subconsciously at Fu Qian.

This person had also been very interested in Kana and ultimately proved that Kana indeed had displayed abilities beyond ordinary people.

Would Violetta be the same? Then what was Mr. Darcy’s purpose?

“Yes, I’ve been in contact with it for a long time,” Su Gao continued with her shocking remarks.

“Ask her what she thinks of the King of Ye Island.”

At this time, in Fu Qian vision, Miss Nepheli spoke again, opting to continue this strange Q&A session.

Excellent!

Fu Qian silently nodded in his heart, very pleased with this development.

The reason he chose to come here instead of waiting at home was actually quite simple—he didn’t believe Miss Nepheli would have the courage to show up at his door.

Even if she were confident about her own stealth skills, could she outclass the crushing authority of a New God over two Third Phases?

Yasui Shi died silently without a trace; in Miss Nepheli’s eyes, his place should now be considered an absolutely haunted house.

This was also why he had brought Su Gao to stroll here, giving her the courage and time to prepare.

This was another successful mutual approach.

“If that’s the case, what you should be most interested in on Ye Island must be the King of Ye Island.”

The next moment, facing the new instruction, Kisaragi Chie smiled and continued to lead the conversation.

“As a presence nearly godlike, he is indeed the idol of countless young people, especially compared to most legendary figures, you could even see him on television.”

“I’ve seen him, he’s too old,” Su Gao naturally expressed her disdain.

The expression on Kisaragi Chie face did not change in the slightest, unsurprisingly.

It was clear that few on Ye Island would give such a sharp critique of Yasui Shi.

“And it’s said that although he is Second Phase, he’s quite unstable.”

“I suspect this also affects his mental state.”

Are you saying that the King of Ye Island is psychologically twisted?

It was clear that Kisaragi Chie was getting perplexed, and even in Fu Qian’s vision, Miss Nepheli’s eyebrows visibly furrowed, a look of both shock and skepticism on her face.

“The only value Yasui Shi has for me is knowing how he turned out like this, to satisfy a morbid curiosity.”

However, Su Gao’s critique wasn’t over; in fact, it sounded increasingly sharp.

“Tell her that perhaps Yasui Shi also had no choice, that at that level, he was gradually coming into contact with the essence of the world, and his state might reflect some kind of essential chaos.”

In the next moment, after wrestling with her thoughts, Miss Nepheli chose to speak again.

Although Su Gao’s performance made her somewhat cautious, after a struggle in her thoughts, she was still unwilling to give up on the topic of Yasui Shi.

“Yasui Shi might have had no choice; in the situation of progressively approaching the essence of the world, his state might reflect some kind of essential chaos.”

Clearly, these words were beyond Kisaragi Chie’s comprehension, who could practically only repeat them.

“Are you saying that the world is chaotic? That the closer you get to its essence, the more unstable it becomes?”

This idea clearly piqued Su Gao’s interest.

“That’s a novel perspective.”

“Many people try to use divination to predict the future, but to the diviners, the world is actually the most unpredictable.”

Kisaragi Chie, forced to recite lines, clearly strained to understand why she said what she just had, appearing more like a charlatan than a Scholar.

“Ask her since she isn’t optimistic about the King of Ye Island, what does she think Yasui Shi’s final outcome will be?”

At this time, Miss Nepheli already seemed somewhat impatient, directing Kisaragi Chie to strike while the iron was hot.

“So if you aren’t optimistic about Yasui Shi, what do you think his final outcome will be?” Kisaragi Chie asked cooperatively.

“That’s easy,” However, before Su Gao could respond, Fu Qian, who had been silent up until that point, suddenly spoke out.

“He will die.”
