Chapter 1590: Chapter 1585: Workshop (22)

People accustomed to playing house often lack reverence for the real world.

Ice was certainly not naive or innocent; indeed, she and the two final ripples on her body had a keen insight into worldly matters, standing out among ordinary people as either wealthy or noble.

The problem lay in that being the world of ordinary people.

After stepping into the supernatural, they faced a game woven with the help of sages, ”where mortals’ bodies stand shoulder to shoulder with Divine Beings.”

And now, without a playwright, she faced the reality of the Supernatural World with doubtless clarity in her untainted eyes.

”No need to be nervous.”

Confronted with Ice openly displaying her frustration, Fu Qian even offered comfort, full of gentle elegance.

”I never intended to probe such core secrets, just tell me everything non-core.”

The attitude of self-rescue, albeit possibly simple-minded, was notably proactive and deserved encouragement... and use.

As for why he took the ”workshop is difficult to rebuild” bad news so lightly?

The reason was quite simple.

Unlike Ice, I wasn’t here to rebuild it, but to utterly destroy it.

...

What do you mean?

So am I holding back, pretending not to know?

Even with high emotional intelligence like Lady Ice, a peculiar expression full of information appeared.

But it lingered just for a moment, as facing Fu Qian’s forgiving face, Ice quickly took a deep breath, reining in her emotions’ small rebelliousness.

”Although the workshop was used many times after completion, aside from operational regulations, ’that person’ didn’t say much about it.”

”One point I remember clearly is when he mentioned that, despite Vacuum Flower being exalted, it doesn’t possess a living will, and to regard it as a Divine Being is a fallacy.”

The exalted devoid of living will, an existence distinct from Divine Beings, is indeed intriguing information.

Slightly nodding, Fu Qian felt quite satisfied with Ice’s performance.

”Was that why while inside, you said it wouldn’t concern itself with meaningless provocations?”

”Yes.”

”Then I understand why you attempted such seemingly desperate moves.”

Fu Qian gestured between himself and Sophia.

”Without living will, there is no survival instinct; the act of ’escape’ can be considered merely a manifestation of inherent rules, like water flowing downhill.”

”Even after reaching outside, it wouldn’t impatiently flee like freed prisoners seeking prolonged liberty, but would continue following rule changes.”

”And you believe it might, as when it left, still be lodged within flesh.”

Studying Sophia’s bizarre form once more submerged in water, Fu Qian acknowledged Ice’s clarity of thought.

”Regrettably, it doesn’t seem so.”

Despite the approval, the obvious situation made Ice unable to feel happy.

”No signs of its presence are discovered, the prolonged close contact with flesh would surely evoke some reaction.”

”The intrinsic action rules of Vacuum Flower appear to include escape and concealment.”

”Yet that’s escape within rules, unrelated to subjective intention, anything else to add?”

Seeing Ice’s slightly dispirited will, Fu Qian casually offered some thought work and acknowledged her contributions.

”There’s more... Normally, the selected person is only allowed to stay inside for half a minute, and after coming out waits for half an hour before re-entering to retrieve the refined weapon.”

Encouraged, Ice quickly detailed the procedural truth.

And following the previous statement that one minute was the limit, the safety margin still seemed fairly sufficient.

”Go in alone?”

Nodding to indicate safety production awareness recognition, Fu Qian casually confirmed details.

”Yes.”

”Then it seems no light operation is necessary?”

Facing the affirmative response, Fu Qian mused.

Without someone to guide, navigating merely by feeling the walls, finding the correct place would be difficult.

”...That’s right.”

After some hesitation, Ice gave a definite response.

”So what did you tell Sophia about the duration?”

Naturally, Fu Qian pointed at the nearby pool, continuing to inquire.

”Five minutes.”

...

Tenfold, indeed the test group, illustrating liberal variable control.

Reflecting on Ice’s answer, Fu Qian simultaneously realized another point—when the four were inside the workshop together, her breathing became rapid roughly about the same time.

Now it seemed that although far surpassing the maximal variable without movement, the psychological pressure was a bit overwhelming.

”The others?”

While pondering, Fu Qian asked another question.

”What others?”

Lady Ice’s gaze flickered slightly, showing confusion.

”Even though that roster is sparse, it’s still more than three pages, and if it were me, wanting to observe changes when flesh confronts Vacuum Flower, I wouldn’t test just once.”

Without hinting at any intention to fluctuate, Fu Qian casually demonstrated powerful empathy.

Though initially maintaining a middle-schooler persona by not flipping through more pages, probability still commanded respect.

Recruiting four talents urgently, three possessing desired attributes, that scenario’s occurrence was clearly unlikely.

Fu Qian surmised that those not meeting requirements, like Sophia, were utilized in some capacity.

”...Right, there were three others whose exposure time was shorter, but I felt there wasn’t much need to focus on that?”

It only took a moment for Ice to candidly confess about the existence of additional control groups.

”Because the last one to enter Ice was still affected, indicating Vacuum Flower was still there at that time?”

And Fu Qian’s considerate understanding continued.

”...Yes.”

”This is where you’re different from ’that person.’

Regrettably, admitting her own thoughts, Ice was promptly met with Fu Qian’s disdainful sneer.

”Cleverness, or being conceited, is often a subtle poison regarding the pursuit of knowledge.”

”Do you recall saying earlier yourself that Vacuum Flower is an existence difficult to comprehend, yet now attempting to deduce its actions through such a simplistic sequence logic?”

”Take me to have a look.”

...

”All are here.”

Without engaging in needless quibbling, nor uttering a word more, Ice chose silently to comply with Fu Qian’s request, swiftly exiting.

And shortly after, with a distant corner revealing yet another metal door opened, an unusual pungent smell of decay surged forth.

Completely ignoring this, Ice directly led Fu Qian deep within, pointing to a metal table similar to the previous ones and said.
