Chapter 1519: Chapter 1514: Human Pillar (23)

Tyrant...

Fu Qian’s excessively precise answer was clearly overheard by other attentive ears.

Judging by the instant reaction, this label indeed seemed a bit juvenile.

Although until now, perception of this thing had almost been compressed solely within oneself.

Yet under the skill of observing and judging the situation, arriving at this conclusion wasn’t difficult.

It seemed the term ”Tyrant,” for this team encompassing medical, academic, and judicial fields, held no special significance - including Mr. Li Sr.

”This label is indeed somewhat unfamiliar to me.”

With a slight frown, he rubbed the dark red ring for a moment and finally handed it back.

”However, I’ve observed the changes in Aike throughout, and its mode of mental influence is not only special but even somewhat familiar; that’s why I wanted to take a look.”

See, this is why honesty is crucial.

Even if the keyword didn’t provoke the special guest, the sincerity nevertheless sparked Inspiration from other aspects.

”Familiar?”

Retrieving the ring, Fu Qian did not disguise his curiosity.

”Exactly, although it looks similar, in my view, it’s fundamentally different from typical mental attacks.”

Mr. Li Sr. sighed deeply.

”It’s not a usual sense of mind-breaking or pollution, leading to loss of self-control, but it is closer to the direct dissolution of one’s self-concept. I’ve seen a similar sensation on someone - ”

Before Fu Qian could ask, he turned around to glance at the contemplative Night Watcher Demigod.

”That person must be familiar with Aike.”

Ah?

Suddenly brought into the topic, the latter was visibly astonished.𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

”Stoss, this Second Phase Transcendent Night Watcher, I assume you’ve had dealings with him?”

Among her confusion, Mr. Li Sr. chuckled and clarified.

...

Stoss?

It’s not just Aike, we also had some dealings.

There’s no need to seek the Night Watcher Demigod’s thoughts, when Mr. Li He Sr. mentioned this name, it immediately triggered a memory in Fu Qian - Unseen Hillock, Logan’s Rescue Team.

Besides Aike, the other two Night Watcher members were Second Phase, and Xiumeng later even met again at the Academy.

And the other, with fierce eyes and thick beard, a temperamental expert, was named Stoss.

It only proved how astute Mr. Li Sr. was, Demigod Aike was indeed very familiar with him.

And from Lord Stoss came the mental attack... Thoughts raced, and Fu Qian soon recalled a fellow known as Clown struggling by the table.

As well as the flame-like golden burning in his eyes.

That was precisely the torment technique from Old Master Stoss; if memory served correctly, the involved party described it as ”a Fire of Madness fueled by will.”

”Lord Stoss? Of course, he has looked after me quite a lot.”

Meanwhile, Demigod Aike’s astonishment continued to escalate, seemingly never expecting to be linked with that Night Watcher veteran.

”I also received some care from him; whether character or strength, that lord is greatly admirable.”

Li He laughed heartily, his praise devoid of deliberate intent.

”The technique I mentioned, I also witnessed at that time.”

The latter part was directed at Fu Qian.

Though from Fu Qian’s perspective, Mr. Li Sr.’s rather unproductive reminiscing still maintained attention on him, observing reactions.

Unfortunately, for professionals, separated operation of mind and facial expression is fundamental.

”Does Lord Stoss also possess similar techniques to influence the mind?”

In thoughtful contemplation, Fu Qian asked the next moment.

...

”Indeed, but the manifestation of that ability resembles the flame he often uses, only its color is a more unusual golden.”

Li He did not keep him guessing.

”Due to my own abilities, I’m sensitive to mental changes; upon seeing it then, I felt something odd and privately consulted Lord Stoss.”

”According to him, even for him, such a flame is extraordinarily special, seemingly originating from a particular Concept Domain, which he merely borrows.”

”From start to finish, he never mentioned the term Tyrant.”

A special Concept Domain... Could the Abandoned Prison truly be a place?

The meaning of our esteemed title is more specific than imagined?

Indeed, eternally maintaining a questing mind proves supremely vital.

It was an incidental act, without substantial expectation, but Mr. Li Sr. provided quite the surprise.

Though his phrasing was rather subtle, Fu Qian found this statement highly intriguing.

The reason which is none other, he had encountered golden flames not only once.

In Night Holy City, to prevent the Indigo Witch from thwarting his plan to shoot the sun, he once directly triggered her calamity.

What burned away her hair at the time was likewise golden flame.

And the meteors that directly bombarded the sun in the night sky.

These combined, truly make it hard to call it pure coincidence.

The Concept Domain as mentioned by Stoss clearly appears to be invaluable information, worthy of further exploration.

Surely, academic workers ought to choose the path of knowledge; this seems far more akin to opportunity than the ”enlightenment” received from Los.

”Thank you for informing me; I hope to have the chance to consult Lord Stoss.”

Fu Qian expressed great satisfaction for a moment, offering sincere thanks.

”It’s unnecessary; I too am simply satisfying my curiosity.”

Mr. Li Sr.’s demeanor was gracious, indicating no need to dwell on it.

”Additionally, if you truly wish to visit Lord Stoss, you’ll likely need Aike’s assistance.”

Was this hinting that his relationship with Stoss isn’t deep enough to offer help?

The issue is, my relationship with Lord Aike hardly seems pleasant, right?

Fu Qian mused inwardly, and the next moment smiled slyly at the Night Watcher Demigod.

”Attention!”

However, before he could express any sentiment, Ji Ning’s voice suddenly arrived.

What’s happening?

Previously indifferent, Aike could no longer concern herself with how to respond to Fu Qian, becoming instantly alert.

At this moment, the team, under Ji Ning’s guidance, had already circled around to a towering hall.

Compared to the previous corridors, this place didn’t appear as evidently dilapidated.

Unfortunately, it was still void of people.

Inevitably puzzled, yet Aike didn’t rush to speak, merely held her breath, eyes fixed on Ji Ning’s movement ahead.

This lord also didn’t keep the team waiting too long; after a brief observation following her prompt, she stepped forward to pull aside a heavy curtain.

Still no one, but something originally concealed, only slightly exposed, suddenly came into view.

An intricately styled dress, luxurious and refined.

The only issue, it seemed excessively ornate, making it unlikely to be attire worn by the living.

And the next moment, Lady Ji Ning had already removed this funerary-like long dress, silently draping it over herself.

The fit, as if tailored perfectly.
