Chapter 2499: Chapter 2494: Fire Bat

Indeed, it’s not here.

When looking for things, it’s best to immerse oneself in the scene. Although the weather is poor, it matches yesterday’s situation exactly.

As Fu Qian closed the door with a reverse hand, the view from the window was so familiar.

And as he sat down on the chair in the middle of the room, it was completely identical.

The place was clearly fine, as this was indeed where Selana was staying.

It’s a pity that after sitting silently in the darkness for a long time, no one turned up to assist with the back-opening.

It’s truly gone. It’s not just that they’ve given up on the collaboration planned before.

In that moment, Fu Qian didn’t attempt to turn on the light, and he was still quite pleased with the collaboration.

As for why he didn’t notice anything suspicious about the partner and decisively hid?

It’s not completely impossible, but the probability is rather low.

By now, they’ve counted as acquaintances; Selana is not one to easily retreat in the face of difficulty.

Let alone, under the division of labor, she likely had no chance to see his actions on the ship.

Even if extremely circumspect, after sending him onto the ship, she didn’t leave, and the fire ignited by the name ”Death Overlord” wasn’t easy to extinguish.

Realizing being deceived is one thing, but regardless of his performance in drama or action, it likely only intensified her interest.

Next, she might not hurry to show herself but would certainly keep an eye out, waiting to probe—oh?

Though the analysis seemed sound, at that very moment, Fu Qian felt something and turned to look outside the window.

The wind and rain roared in the darkness, and outside, even the streetlights were sparse. Yet, a strange glow seemed to flicker and quickly vanish.

...

Is the face slap coming so quickly? Selana, who’s been defeated numerous times, has finally endured to celebrate her moment of triumph.

Fu Qian was certain he didn’t see wrong, something did flash by just now, and it was not an ordinary thing.

And the glow was indeed fire.

Crash—

Without even waiting for him to stand, a clear sound of shattering resonated, then a piercing wind howled.

Another flash of brilliance passed by, this time directly breaking a hole in the glass.

What was once a peaceful scene of listening to the wind and rain was instantly shattered, and the storm unleashed in the blink of an eye.

As for the culprit of all this—

Fu Qian looked down, and the thing that broke through the window had already rolled to where he was.

Sharp fangs, membranous wings, red eyes... this was why the thing was not ordinary; it was visibly shaped like a bat.

Only it was significantly aged, not only was its body emaciated, but parts seemed decayed, and its broken body lay motionless after hitting the ground.

As for the previous blaze, it seemed to ignite at these decayed parts and quickly extinguished, now nearly invisible.

Seeing such a thing on such a night, and having it directly hit his feet, it’s hard to deny it feels quite ominous, reminiscent of a dead fish gaping.

This isn’t the focal point though. Considering the symbolic significance of bats to the Bloodline Clan, it’s tough not to associate it with Selana.

Earlier, the evidence suggested trouble, otherwise she’d probably find an opportunity to probe. But now, the probing has arrived immediately?

If true, Selana truly masters the art of face-to-face humiliation.

Crucially, it doesn’t seem fake at all.

Fu Qian bent over and picked up the bat, feeling its seemingly long-dead, cold flesh.

For such a thing to still fly in the sky is already absurd, not to mention—there’s so many flying in the sky.

At that moment, the visibility suddenly increased ahead, as dozens to hundreds of glows ignited.

...

Puff! Puff!

It’s not an exaggeration; even the remaining glass on the window was thoroughly shattered in the blink of an eye, then bat after bat flew in and splattered onto the ground.

Some even weren’t directly dead upon landing, their struggle paired with the unquenched flames on them, actually lent a kind of splendor.

It was indeed a wave from Selana, almost beyond doubt.

With a sigh, Fu Qian finally stood up at that moment.

That’s about right. Knowing her temperament, it’s hard to imagine she could keep calm until now.

Is it neither an unexpected encounter nor a sensed suspicion, but the most ideal bountiful harvest?

During his brief excursion, not only did she stir up Shangjing’s situation, making the Greedy Worms expose themselves, she made discoveries of her own?

Did Selana find traces possibly related to the Death Overlord?

What a great partner, didn’t misjudge the young lady.

Amid contemplation, Fu Qian this time didn’t leave through the door but leapt out backwards through the window.

...

This wind is somewhat exclusionary.

Yet after a while inside the room, the weather worsened even more.

To the extent that when jumping out the window, the storm-driven Moore almost gave the feeling of coming alive, forcibly trying to send him back.

Fu Qian certainly didn’t want to be so unwelcome, as he landed steadily, simply watching the bat corpses already swept away again.

This time, it appeared they were truly dead, and no new ones emerged.

If he’d arrived a step later, he might have missed this spectacular scene.

Even the inclement weather would’ve erased any traces left behind.

From this perspective, it seems like he should’ve come here at the earliest timeframe?

While chatting with the Greedy Worms was indeed delightful, he might’ve missed important information?

Not necessarily.

A phrase once critically assessed the Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, which Fu Qian naturally wouldn’t forget—don’t easily believe coincidences without reason.

Instead of believing his timely arrival didn’t miss the bats’ appearance.

Fu Qian prefers to believe the emergence of such movement presupposes his presence here.

Meaning, even if he arrived a bit late, he likely wouldn’t miss it.

But the question is—why?

Though the analysis sounds a bit reasonable, it inevitably raises a deeper doubt.

The partnership is genuine, but why would someone who would typically stay locked on the ship, leaving only to see if Selana harvests, leave traces for him?

A sincere act of winking at a blind man.

Did Selana suspect or even know he fled from the ship, hence doing this?

That’s even more absurd; he looks like a completely untrustworthy fraud, yet deliberately leaving information?

Following a series of logical deductions, the situation seems harder to explain—careful.

Difficulty in explaining means the scope opens up, indicating there are more factors beyond current understanding.

Regardless of subjective intention, Selana indeed seems to have left him with a surprise.

Full of optimistic spirit, Fu Qian looked back.

The window he just jumped through had silently rotted away.
