Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2801: Chapter 2796: Thirteen-Day Talks (53)

Indeed, it even matches what the recorder Mr. Mo Sr. had mentioned.

As for the hidden danger praised by the attending physician, Fu Qian wasn’t particularly concerned about it.

And looking at the passage that wasn’t even closed, the cause and effect of the situation seemed even smoother.

As an abrupt intruder, Laxik was forced to be caught between the precursor and Servis, acting like a ping pong ball being batted back and forth.

The precursor used prophecy to drive her actions, making her break through the trap set for herself, further strengthening her confidence in prophecy.

Meanwhile, the attending physician cooperated with the prophecy on one hand, and on the other, constantly maneuvered in the process, attempting to bring the precursor from behind the scenes, having them personally use the Abyssal Chronicle, to prove that his so-called prediction ability was fake.

At first glance, the treatment method seems a bit nonsensical, but in Fu Qian’s view, this ”immersive reality correction” still has its rationale.

If one simply guided someone here and then had a doctor in a white coat sitting alone in an office saying ”Your prophecies are fake, it’s actually all me cooperating with you,” it indeed might not be effective for someone who’s deeply fixated.

But the beauty here is that there really is something miraculous.

Everything seems close to reality, in a scientific-oriented asylum, there truly is an item that only the Transcendent can explain.

Then the precursor’s situation suddenly becomes awkward.

If he denies the wonder of this item, it means he’s denying the Transcendent.

But if he denies the Transcendent, what of his predictive ability?

So he has no choice but to acknowledge the magic power of this item.

Of course, it’s merely awkward, as there are still loopholes to exploit.

For instance, it’s true the item is an Extraordinary Item, but the outcomes it produces aren’t reliable.

What it acknowledges might not be true, but rather maliciously lures you, making you utterly lost.

In theory, there’s no problem, the precursor can completely comfort himself in this manner.

However, this isn’t without hidden dangers; if even another Transcendent isn’t trustworthy, then is there anything else trustworthy in the entire asylum?

As the person involved, it seems inevitable to fall into nihilism.

And thus, apart from a little persistence deep within, completely losing the anchor point for self-positioning.

For reason, this is undoubtedly a severe depletion.

In summary, Servis’s tactic is quite vicious, it’s a stratagem that kills both positives and negatives.

It’s just a pity that Laxik, this ping pong ball, was too fragile and ultimately deflated, allowing the precursor to temporarily gain the upper hand.

But this advantage doesn’t last, so much so that the latter needs to constantly consume intruders to maintain morale, which is why the columnist was chosen again.

”So, what do you call this thing?”

While integrating many events, Fu Qian’s gaze returned to the notebook, patting this absolute core item.

”Truth Note... different from what you found out?”

Seemingly knowing long beforehand that Fu Qian would care about this issue, Servis answered without hesitation, also expressing some curiosity.

”Not quite, what I know is called the Nightmare Notes.”

Fu Qian shook his head.

”Nightmare Notes... although at first, the meaning seems contradictory, it’s actually quite fitting.”

Softly repeating it once, Servis accepted it quite well, immediately indicating that this name wasn’t bad either, while emphasizing once more.

”Whether you believe it or not, it has always been here, never left.”

...

Never left? It sounds somewhat intertwined with the asylum’s very life.

Servis’s final emphasis, at first, seemed abrupt, but Fu Qian was still able to grasp the core within —

Regardless of whether the story of the Nightmare Notes is true or false, I can assure you this much is true, and it’s best not to covet it.

”Rest assured, that copy was given away by me, so you discovered it?”

While understanding was paramount, Fu Qian casually reassured while also becoming curious about more details.

”Sort of, but I prefer to say it discovered me...”

The other party even gave a similar item to someone else, so even though it might be unfounded, this statement still brought some peace of mind.

Servis seemed very satisfied with Fu Qian’s response, and for a moment, he too fell into reminiscence.

”The reason for taking over this place at that time was because it had a certain magic power that fascinated me.

”Many fear this place, thinking it’s too far from reality, making certain boundaries blur... but I saw quite the opposite, many things instead became clearer here.”

His fingers lightly caressed the hardwood surface of the desk, at that moment his action truly carried a sense of tender care.

”In short, driven by such fascination, I wandered every corner time and again, until I discovered the vein-like network beneath its surface.

”And just as I tirelessly delved deeper, this notebook appeared before me, with that intense allure.”

...

See, this is why excellence comes from passion.

Seeing the attending physician gradually intoxicated towards the end, Fu Qian timely returned the Truth Note.

One, to further demonstrate disinterest in the item, and two, to avoid the other dropping spit onto his hand.

What Servis described was not only very vivid but also explained well how he discovered these secret passages and used them to come and go like a phantom.

It wasn’t accidental, just love.

If there wasn’t that passion for his work, and, subsequently feeling the unique atmosphere of the place, the Truth Note wouldn’t have manifested so quickly.

However, although the emotional tone was excessively strong, Fu Qian still somewhat believed Servis’s account.

Such as the extraordinary relationship between the Truth Note and this place.

It had been mentioned before, having such an item placed at the asylum’s core area, which precisely could serve as a mental validation for everyone, and the view was extremely suitable, truly having an ancient and unyielding flavor.

Even though its current connection with the Nightmare Notes is still difficult to grasp.

”I see, so since you discovered it, has there been inexplicably more words appearing on it?”

In agreement, Fu Qian continued to focus on the details.

”How could there be, it’s always been this content, though many parts I can’t understand.”

Servis, however, couldn’t quite understand the reason for asking this.

”Since Laxik left marks on it, it hasn’t been opened for a long time — so, have you decided yet, will you accept my suggestion?”

After emphasizing once more, he couldn’t resist any longer, hoping for Fu Qian’s formal commitment.

”Of course.”

Indeed, time was pressing, Fu Qian didn’t mind, he merely nodded.

”Now I’m also very interested in that case, you can invite him in.”
