Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2774: Chapter 2769: 13 Day Stories (26)

This is why mercy is necessary.

Trish’s well-dressed male companion actually has another face.

He is extremely repulsed by that version of himself and strives to make himself even more hated.

Fu Qian expresses that just smoothing out this sentence seems to evoke a kind of heavy suffocation.

There are quite a few heavyweight players in this asylum.

However, when he acted back then, even tied him up afterwards, the beast of hatred under that false façade never revealed its fangs.

And the reason for not creating further bloodshed at the time was mainly considering it would be meaningless and compress subsequent operational space, as the threat of the Well of Time hadn’t been discovered yet.

Now, upon reviewing, he realizes that the concern about compressing subsequent operational space was indeed justified, although the extent might be more exaggerated than thought.

Just came to a conclusion that the Well of Time might be triggered by touching the ”darkness” of the human heart, or described as a heart knot.

According to Lady Black House’s description, if Trish’s male companion’s situation isn’t called a heart knot, what else would be?

It could even be called a dead knot.

The performance at the time was indeed superb, even the subsequent fainting was real, along with the anger after being mocked for no longer having the vigor.

Still, in such a situation, the true self wasn’t exhibited, allowing one to genuinely feel what it means to be beyond cure.

Once triggered, the effect would be astonishing, no doubt.

What? The person is in a coma, so killing them doesn’t matter, as there are no opportunities to operate?

Fu Qian says if it were that easy, completing the task afterwards would have been too blissful.

Just needed to stealthily kill everyone in thirteen days, slicing throats along the way, then casually walk out the door.

To know, truly killing someone, regardless of whether the person is conscious themselves or not, means a certain form of ”darkness” completely vanishes from the asylum.

Would such a thing really have no impact?

Considering the bizarreness of this place, it might be overly optimistic.

Besides, mentioning that, the individual should have been noticed for a while, yet the asylum remains calm, making one curious about the director’s arrangements behind the scenes.

”But it’s precisely such a mental state that gave him extraordinary insight, ultimately successfully assisting me.”

While Fu Qian is lost in thought, Lady Black House officially finishes introducing the person’s life, looking over with a faint smile.

”Wondering if this has inspired you? How does Mr. Fu plan to help me?”

...

Turns out she knows the ”columnist,” even remembers the name.

Lady Black House is clearly applying pressure, but what Fu Qian interprets from it is respect.

As for impatience, it’s normal; after all, she was eager to go back and care for her friend.

”Indeed I have Inspiration, so are you ready?”

But how would Fu Qian let her leave so easily, calling her was not for fun.

To know, when she turned back under his retention, her face even twitched uncontrollably, proving her mind wasn’t as calm as her appearance.

No surprise, since due to his actions, the only effective medication in the asylum for her had been desecrated.

Even if he completely impersonated the person to encounter the girl with the hairpin.

A heart ailment requires heart medicine, but that’s the bad thing about heart medicine, it’s highly susceptible to deterioration for special reasons.

By then, even if Trish’s male companion returns, it likely won’t be much help for her situation.

All in all, the desperation bred from within is fully imaginable; Fu Qian doubts if Lady Black House leaves this room in such a state, Judgment Day might be realized much sooner.

Yes, emergency risk avoidance, this is why he called her.

Perhaps for Servis, Lady Black House’s toothache is quite dull.

But when it comes to his task, this lady’s teeth are probably very sharp, capable of devouring several days.

So after calling her, how to specifically avoid the risk?

”Are you really not joking?”

It’s obvious even Lady Black House is pondering this question, looking rather unconfident.

”You wouldn’t...”

She seems to realize something upon seeing Fu Qian stand and approach, covering her mouth cautiously.

”Relax, there’s no way I’d knock out your teeth.”

Fu Qian naturally understands what Lady Black House is thinking.

Given his verbal and behavioral conduct, coupled with lack of confidence in the effect of talk therapy, the other party is obviously worried he might use violent means to solve it.

It can only be said this is the bias between hearts.

Sighing deeply, Fu Qian already bypasses her hand, chopping at her neck.

...

Seems unchanged, the probability of falling into the well isn’t high?

Catching Lady Black House’s limp body casually, Fu Qian’s gaze remains fixated outside the window.

The final conclusion is that Darkness hasn’t changed, the night still seems long.

Lady Black House was actually somewhat perceptive, but still fundamentally lacked acuity.

Just knocking out the teeth wouldn’t hurt indeed, a rough but effective thought.

But as is well-known, being a morally indifferent doctor, there is no notion of treating the symptoms to cure the root.

So why knock out teeth, just knock someone out and be done.

This way, it can alleviate pain temporarily without fully curing, truly perfect.

Of course, Fu Qian isn’t thinking it’s profitable, deciding to sustainably collect medical fees.

From the moment he called back, he never intended to genuinely mimic Trish’s male companion to treat her.

So the only key issue here is how to stabilize this potential bomb—

If the person just leaves, it could result in losing hope, mental collapse, and other major issues, thus she must stay.

But if he fully exhibits his divine healer persona and fully cures her, the danger level is similar to the former.

A heart knot being completely deadlocked or unraveled both won’t work, maintaining the status quo is necessary.

So the final solution is obvious, directly employ physical method to put her down, let her sleep here for a while, giving himself time for action.

Certainly, doing so carries risks, such as her post-wake reaction being unpredictable.

But in one aspect urgency has its authority, it’s already the relatively lower-risk handling method.

In another aspect, he may not need that much time, given the current speed of Judgment Day’s approach; as long as Lady Black House naps for a bit, the end might arrive.

Not to mention he deliberately added heavy force, trying to prolong this process.

Ultimately the result is gratifying, at least this knockout doesn’t seem like it triggers the Well of Time.

He can even consider using it as an emergency handling technique later.

As for what to do next?

Fu Qian pulled out the keychain from Trish’s male companion, his gaze bypasses a walnut wood desk, pinpointing somewhere on the rear wall panel.
