Chapter 1442: Chapter 1440 Artificial Existence Core (10)

Swish!

Indeed, they’re fairly well-trained. The moment Novell realized what Fu Qian said, even though he was still reluctantly looking around, he almost jumped up, drew his weapon, and aimed it at his head.

”Transcendent power...”

Tommy’s expression was similarly shocked, but perhaps due to age, he wasn’t as agile. Though his hand instinctively moved, he didn’t put himself in the same alert stance as his partner.

His backside, however, remained glued to the seat.

”Honestly, I’ve been in Los for so long, hearing all sorts of exaggerated phrases, that I’m somewhat numb to this term...”

In the next moment, he stared into Fu Qian’s eyes, looking very serious.

”Are you trying to say Claire didn’t see a mere illusion like a magic trick before, but something caused by real non-human power?”

”Yes, doesn’t it seem like it?”

Fu Qian, however, wasn’t affected by this emotional exchange. He countered while extending another hand, and another vortex rose.

Even both palms faced each other, complementing each other.

...

”It does, but then I can’t understand your motives even more.”

Although the magical scene lasted only a few seconds, its impact was substantial. Novell seemed ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

Fortunately, Tommy, being steady and mature, quickly used his eyes to soothe, indicating his partner to put away his weapon, then turned his head to express confusion.

”If you truly are a Transcendent, you should know what kind of nature it is to use such means on ordinary people. The reward you receive compared to the risk is completely unworthy.”

”What’s wrong with helping others?”

Tommy was undoubtedly speaking the truth, only Fu Qian remained unconcerned.

”I’m not going to question your motives... But even so, what you did wasn’t cautious at all.”

”How likely is it that an unfamiliar customer, with little trust, would bring a risk of having to explain to the Night Watchman?”

Tommy shook his head slightly, clearly very firm in his judgment.

”You don’t seem like someone who enjoys that kind of trouble.”

”Even with good intentions, normally you should find a way to make her more convinced to avoid such risks. I know Transcendents have many such means.”

”Reasonable.”

Once the old man gets serious, his analysis is remarkably thorough. Fu Qian couldn’t help but nod repeatedly, finally counter-questioning smoothly.

”Then what on earth am I doing it for?”

...

”I don’t know.”fr\eewebno vel .c(o)m

Facing Fu Qian’s soul-searching question, Tommy shook his head again.

”You young people always have strange ideas, and I’m even tired of exerting effort to understand them.”

”But clearly, once the potion you gave Claire is fully tested, whether it is truly harmful to people or not will greatly help to deduce your motive.”

”Of course, personally, I tend to believe what you just said, that the stuff is completely harmless.”

Expressing confidence in Fu Qian’s character, Tommy actually stood up.

”I can even not take you away, but you need to promise not to leave this room until you receive further notice.”

Just confinement?

”Alright.”

The conditions Tommy offered were evidently quite lenient. Fu Qian instantly agreed, maintaining the previous spirit of cooperation.

”...Before then, you also can’t continue working.”

Maybe because he agreed too readily, Tommy hesitated for a moment, uneasily adding a restriction.

”Alright, too.”

Fu Qian didn’t appear excessively troubled. After a brief thought, he continued to nod.

”Let’s go.”

After a deep glance at Fu Qian, Tommy wasted no time, directly calling out to his still slightly confused partner, gripping Fu Qian’s business card in farewell.

...

”Why not just take him back? This guy doesn’t seem that honest to me.”

As the room returned to peace, the temporarily closed Fu Qian seemed to genuinely uphold his earlier promise, sitting there without any intention of moving.

Not long after, a familiar voice rang out in perception.

It’s obvious that after leaving, Novell, having regained some composure, couldn’t help asking the senior.

”Are you really sure he’ll still be there when we come back?”

”From beginning to end, we only received a report, didn’t find anything, and can’t even prove that guy really has malicious intent.”

Unfortunately, Tommy’s mood didn’t sound very good.

”I’ve already had enough of these swindlers for many years, but even more tiresome are those who are dumb enough to consult them, yet don’t believe.”

”I’m really old now, you drive later, I’ll eat something.”

”...Okay.”

Though dismissive at heart, Novell clearly still followed Tommy’s lead, immediately agreeing.

...

”You need to contact the Night Watchman as quickly as possible.”

After some time had passed since the previous just conversation, Tommy’s voice sounded again in perception, but apart from becoming blurry, it also sounded much more serious.

”What’s wrong?”

And Novell was clearly startled by this sudden change.

”That guy is likely a Transcendent, and this is already beyond our responsibility bounds, while Claire’s family is probably in significant danger.”

Not only becoming serious, Tommy’s speaking speed increased noticeably.

”But didn’t you just say—”

”If I hadn’t said that, we probably wouldn’t have had the chance to get out. Do you really think bullets can deal with him?”

Novell’s inquiry was instantly interrupted.

”...So he deliberately displayed it like that earlier, misleading us in reverse?”

Still relatively quick-minded, Novell quickly recalled the previous exchange.

”Were the changes in his hand all real? Is this why we didn’t find any props?”

”Seems like it, after all, it’s in Los. He could easily kill us, but certainly wouldn’t want to face a swarm of Night Watchmen.”

Tommy acknowledged Novell’s interpretation.

”Uh... Are you sure?”

Unable to resist imagining the peril they just faced, Novell asked with lingering apprehension.

”Not sure, this isn’t a TV show, I don’t have miraculous skills to see through everything.”

Tommy sighed.

”But I can feel that he’s different. This Grimshaw is fundamentally different from those frauds, and we can’t take such a risk.”

”...But if it’s just for this reason, convincing the Night Watchmen seems difficult.”

Not really doubting his partner’s judgment, Novell expressed his concern.

”It is indeed a problem. They generally don’t trust our judgment... So it’s best to notify the informant first, or directly pay a visit.”

This issue, Tommy had clearly already considered.

”Her husband is clearly a key figure. If we can discover anything odd, it should help persuade the Night Watchmen...”

Dutiful and professional, yet still cautious.

As the conversation gradually blurred, Fu Qian, still obediently following the confinement order, silently gave a thumbs up to the two law enforcement officers, especially Tommy.

Even as careful as he is, Fu Qian has his own limitations in understanding, such as the perception range of Transcendents.

They should have spoken their whispers further away.

And judging from the content of the conversation, the plan is undoubtedly moving forward smoothly, not only will the Night Watchmen soon arrive, but there are also two more volunteers.
