Chapter 2677: Chapter 2672: Torture and Delight

Yes, it’s the Executioner who holds her own eye.

Fu Qian has always had a keen interest in abstract art.

The items found in box 1-330 can somewhat answer the previous question.

There’s indeed a clockwork, and it even appears as a bride.

Overall, calling it Clockwork Xi’er seems quite appropriate.

Yet, drawing from rich project experience and extraordinary artistic insight, Fu Qian easily interpreted more.

If memory serves, Lady Nepheli once introduced the legend of Princess Xing’s Eyes.

It’s said that the reason the two eyes can react to each other is due to a tormented noble yearning to see herself dismembered.

Considering the elements are so fitting, Fu Qian instantly suspected the doll might be modeled after that person.

So is the Executioner related to the Power of Joy, or the Lord of Father’s Amnion?

If the speculation holds true, it’s undeniably shocking news.

Indeed, none of these Superior Beings ceased to leave their marks on history.

Even the manner in which the Lord of Father’s Amnion marked the Sea of Souls could be guessed slightly.

Don’t forget that this time’s containment item has ”Executioner” as its core.

Is it possible she is the figure who facilitated the escape?

Not only is she a noble with a twisted fate, but also a tool of the Ancient Supremes...

One can only say if it’s true, it’s genuinely a tragic story.

It further explains the incomprehensible actions of the ”Queen” in the end.

Additionally, the doll’s crown seems slightly familiar.

It’s not a perfect replica, but it reminds me of the crown I gave to Professor Lisa.

Yes, the crown of the Larea Family.

...

So the noble victim is a queen of the Larea Family?

Imagination is indeed wonderful; merely a silhouette glimpsed can connect nerves in a manner that feels complete.

Fu Qian found scattered information coalescing, leading to another remarkable hypothesis.

Even in the ancient Larea Royal Family, there’s an exceptional queen he knows of, or the Mad Princess—Don Juan Larea’s new bride.

Miss Wen and Professor Lisa both confirmed to me that she went mad after the wedding due to ”torment,” and her husband died even sooner.

Their grand celebration even led to a major historical event—the Blood-Red Wedding.

Many attending noblewomen went home to kill their husbands.

Professor Lisa quoted Cass, suggesting the noblewomen were polluted by something at the wedding, with the source being Don Juan’s Divine Human family bloodline.

So was the Mad Princess’s tragedy related to that pollution?

This possibility cannot be easily dismissed, and combined with this task’s findings, it becomes significant.

Mad Princess, Executioner... If they’re truly the same person and Clockwork Xi’er is modeled after her, isn’t the pollution inevitably tied to the Lord of Father’s Amnion?

And even my predecessor Ji Feng.

From the ”Bronze Lady” concealed in the real world, I obtained a bronze headband evidently tied to Bloodline Power and personally experienced a modified Blood-Red Wedding.

This led me to suspect that Elder Ji might have intervened in the Larea Family’s affairs through tasks... Did he have contact with the Lord of Father’s Amnion?

And this isn’t over; what did I see at the Witch’s place last time?

The most renowned Face of the Divine Human in Larea Family history seemed akin to the Witch’s mother, the original Dark Moon.

...

Perhaps I feel what a Bloodline Curse truly is.

Yet such a small bride crown can connect numerous events and formidable figures.

Considering at least three Superior Beings are theoretically involved, the seemingly harmonious royal family has become a storm convergence, truly recording history with bloodlines.

And it’s known Bloodline Power possesses abstract attributes on the Supernatural Level.

What have these Superior Beings done with this abstract concept, and why?

Fu Qian’s curiosity over the Blood-Red Wedding of old once again soared.

Unfortunately, Elder Ji no longer enjoys chats, and the warehouse has lost the ability to project hundreds of years back.

A conspiracy woven over ancient families in an instant, but Fu Qian laments the hassle of verification.

Yet scholarly workers cannot always emphasize difficulty; to him, several indirect methods are conceivable—

For instance, confirming Ji Feng’s actions in Ji Family or Yuan Clan as planned, attempting to uncover secrets therein.

Or starting from the Witch, utilizing her relation to the old Dark Moon to test samples.

In short, even while residing in Shangjing, many things can be advanced.

As Clockwork Xi’er let out her final sob, Fu Qian placed the exhausted doll back, casually covering it.

Very good, quite a fruitful harvest.

Satisfied with today’s work, he let the ribbon weave between his fingers, donning the Emissary’s Mask he held.

...

A truly eventful day.

Purified prematurely with the Return Edict, Fu Qian predictably sat up in the bookstore’s second floor, stretching.

As he observed the thoroughly darkened night, he was thoroughly pleased with today’s harvest.

Multiple crucial topics achieved breakthrough advancements quickly; only a scholarly worker can understand the satisfaction.

Of course, others might focus more on the unfortunate fates of Rom and the Lord of Father’s Amnion.

It’s understandable; two Superior Beings falling victim within hours is rare indeed.

Even if it occurs, awareness of it might not be widespread.

This could help in identifying the aggrieved should any special incidents arise later.

Nonetheless, despite some achievements, it’s necessary to remain humble and diligent.

For instance, the night isn’t over; Shangjing’s vibrant nightlife is just starting.

As a cultural industry chain member, how could he slack at this time?

Accompanied by the creaking of wooden stairs, Fu Qian descended all the way, switching to business mode upon reaching the bookstore’s entrance.

Reward comes to those who work diligently, contributing to Shangjing’s nightlife.
