Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2474: Chapter 2469: Killing Familiar Faces

Murdering acquaintances is a forbidden secret skill, especially when the victim isn’t even aware of being an acquaintance.

At that moment, the seemingly unsolvable contradiction posed by Selana was casually unraveled by Fu Qian, with even the look in his eyes being so composed.

Those who let facts speak for themselves never lack such confidence.

”Then why did you appear in Moore?”

Of course, the challenge was not over yet.

”Selana,” after a brief moment of contemplation, quickly posed a new contradiction.

The tone was even colder than before, giving the impression that if a single word was spoken incorrectly, that already cracking spine would be pulled out directly.

”Heh...”

Unfortunately, such a murderous aura was met with an old, wry laugh.

”To find Ji Yin.”

Fortunately, without needing Lord ”Selana” to inquire further, Fu Qian had already continued to add a sentence.

...

He indeed had mentioned it before.

Although the face was blurry, it seemed one could still sense the grief of Lord Selana, with the anger stuck in her throat, unable to be voiced.

Being ruthless is one thing, Fu Qian had no doubt that the other party could kill.

However, her style was somewhat straightforward, making it a bit challenging to deal with those sly individuals who hide daggers in smiles.

”Interesting.”

As expected, the interrogator quickly maintained her composure, and the wound on Fu Qian’s back did not continue to expand.

”Let me think, you all cut off your perception links with each other to prevent being implicated all at once, so you don’t know where Ji Yin is... and then you ran to Moore to find him?”

Considering that ”Laurie” seemed to speak with substance, ”Selana” to some extent abandoned that brief Q&A style and started a more detailed analysis based on the current situation.

”Yes, to stop what he’s currently doing.”

Not knowing where he was yet managing to come find him did sound a bit contradictory, but Fu Qian nodded without a blink and even provided a reason.

”Cutting off perception links doesn’t mean isolating oneself; his thinking is dangerous and might get us all killed.”

Hmm...

Fu Qian was, of course, referring to that kind of invincible dish-abusing life-sharing effect with great downside risk.

Considering that Selana clearly knew about perception sharing, the core point was likely understood, and she naturally integrated it into his reasoning.

”But I see you don’t seem too afraid of dying...”

The reason was seamless, and ”Selana” couldn’t seem to find any logical flaw but still keenly brought up a point.

Moreover, it was indeed hard to deny.

As a captive, from just now until now, ”Laurie” had been surprisingly calm, almost having a disregard for life and death.

And there was another crucial point—

”Did you just walk past Sorondir on the ship so directly?”

Indeed, when going to find food, the manner was still too bold.

As expected, Selana, lurking in the shadows, took note of that scene.

”Honestly, even I was almost fooled by you, until suddenly realizing, there were two identical people on the ship... Did you not think that being discovered in such a secret operation could directly cost your life?”

...

So is the third demigod of the Siren called Sorondir?

A piece of intelligence successfully acquired, and Fu Qian was relatively satisfied with the progress.

As for the doubt Selana raised?

”It’s okay, I’m part of the topmost layer of the system, so even if I die, the consequences won’t be too severe.”

It’s a pity; when deciding to use the name ”Laurie,” he had already thought of an explanation for his actions.

The harm-sharing among the Greedy Worms has a certain vector nature, clearly inclined from bottom to top.

In such a situation, if the person at the top has a spirit of self-sacrifice, in theory, the risk is indeed a bit smaller.

So the more Lord Selana knows, the more likely she is to accept this reasoning, even allowing him to test to some extent what she actually knows.

For a moment, Fu Qian’s readiness to die continued.

”... But you have no reason to take such a risk for no reason.”

And the fact proves that she seems to really know quite a bit.

After a brief silence, ”Selana” spoke again.

”I have no choice; I can’t find him, and he could cause trouble at any time, so I can only take the risk to try.”

”If Ji Yin were on that ship, he’d still be recognizable at a close range, so I needed to move around a bit, though I’m not so sure he’s there...”

Fu Qian naturally responded fluently, even naturally turning to ask back.

”And why did you go to the ship to find someone, Your Excellency?”

...

Although the order to only answer and not ask was strict, not being curious at this juncture would seem abnormal, given the character being portrayed.

Including, for Fu Qian personally, it was indeed quite curious about Lord Selana’s mental journey.

After all, theoretically, the mutual pursuit between the Half-god of the Bloodline Clan and the Greedy Worms was almost facilitated single-handedly by him.

Currently, it seems to be developing quite ideally, with the only oddity being the somewhat remote location.

After the disappearance of Extraordinary Perception, the faith in the Greedy Worms naturally received no response.

As for what led the lost sheep here, as their faith holder, Fu Qian was still quite willing to show some concern.

”Unfortunately, I’m also not sure whether he is on it.”

Regrettably, Lord Selana seemed to be in a bad mood, unwilling to share more details.

”But do you know what the benefit is? To me, it’s all the same...”

The voice was even colder in the next moment, pointing out a harsh reality.

...

Indeed, they’re all worms, inadvertently catching a leader in the process.

From the Gulad Family’s avenger’s perspective, it seems like an overachievement.

”I get it... You’re here for the Death Overlord.”

However, how could Fu Qian let her steer the conversation onto such old matters so easily, suddenly having an ’aha’ moment the next moment.

Due to perceptual reasons, remote guidance for the Greedy Worms couldn’t provide protection, so wasn’t offline just perfect?

While the situation in Moore was delicate, whether it was worth wasting precious seafaring time had always been a point of consideration.

Now, with free labor walking right through the door, there’s certainly no reason to waste it.

Even whether that symbol represents the Abandonment King or the Death Overlord could take this opportunity for initial acceptance.

”You do know quite a lot, don’t you?”

Predictably, upon this term being directly corrected by the Abandonment King, ”Selana” paused slightly before choosing to go along with it, attempting to learn more.

”I should be the strange one.”

With eyes deeply set, Fu Qian made no attempt to hide his doubt.

”Very few know this secret, who told you?”
