Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2227: Chapter 2222: King of Crucifixion (12)

Correct, the response was very quick.

At first glance, Fu Qian’s actions seemed undoubtedly too audacious.

For the Night Watchman, it’s believed that merely the commotion from Lan Fyla’s side is enough to alarm them, realizing the possible homecoming of an Ancient Superior Being.

Even according to the Fire of Madness, it wouldn’t be surprising to directly link to any Superior Being.

Furthermore, there’s Old Master Stoss whose sudden lack of ability serves as corroborative evidence.

In short, this golden flame is an extremely sensitive issue within the Night Watchman currently.

Any display is enough to raise their alert level to purple—like right now.

Though it’s just a small release, controlled the same as the Gospel Blast, it was still enough to completely annihilate the entangled thing on his leg.

Even the rag doll that wasn’t affected vanished instantly in place, reappearing in the corner of the room.

Quick response, understanding the severity.

It can only be said to confirm the previous conjecture, yet also fitting the style of Lady Needle Witch.

Of course, this is just a surface reaction; the storm behind this scene for the Night Watchman is truly intriguing—it’s meant to ignite their imagination.

Beyond those glorious deeds mentioned earlier, there have been various signs of the Fire of Madness even earlier.

For instance, in the investigation report on the ”Finger Ball,” Professor Fu of the Academy mentioned a suspected discovery of golden flames.

Later, within the Burial Ground of Gods, the pale-faced man wielded a knife, casting magic directly in front of the Guards.

Coupled with the current turbulent world, various ancient existences seem to be stirring, yet the Night Watchman, as guardians of order, wouldn’t start targeted work—like scrutinizing hidden dangers of the Fire of Madness.

What is the Night Watchman doing here? Fu Qian believes this is a very likely answer.

Previously puzzled by why the style became so conservative and what the exact purpose was.

Not wanting to excessively affect the stability here, yet involving a master like Lady Corin, it doesn’t seem simple.

...

Once such assumptions are introduced, all kinds of behaviors seem more reasonable, which is why the response was praised as quick earlier.

The Night Watchman surely remains earnest and responsible, reassuring.

Even if this assumption is true, it also implies that a question might have an answer—why here?

Careful scrutiny is naturally focused on potentially hazardous places.

Why think there are hidden dangers here?

Sensitive location? Rapid growth?

These characteristics do indeed exist—or perhaps more directly, is it the result of one’s own guidance?

Indeed, after the interview, the bloodthirsty impulses of the two gatekeepers felt somewhat apt, vaguely recalling an old acquaintance.

And upon entering, the group’s behavior became increasingly erratic, until the present white-collar trio.

The neck is white, is it possible that the face is also white?

Just like the Broken Brother encountered at Akons?

If there were no previous conjectures as an aid, such associations would clearly be too scattered.

But now, under the amalgamation of various elements, the sense of déjà vu becomes increasingly strong.

Did the pale-faced Broken Brother come from this place?

Because of similar nature with Akons, could he have been able to tread within occasionally?

And because of one’s operations in the Bone Burial Ground, the usually lenient Night Watchman suddenly becomes incredibly vigilant?

If true, what a wondrous twist of fate indeed.

And believing their actions earlier might have a sparkling effect.

Searching for the Fire of Madness—is here now?

Of course, the greatest significance isn’t in scaring people, but in helping Brother Ariel occupy the main position in this heated atmosphere.

...

Stay true to the roots.

The Night Watchman has other important matters, hence showed rare tolerance towards the lawbreakers right under their nose.

Flexible law enforcement can be understood, but isn’t the scene one wishes to see.

Still relied on them to find someone.

If unaware of the Night Watchmen’s possible intentions, everyone reaching a stopping point means not only losing an auxiliary but also gaining a hindrance.

After all, in any case, the Night Watchman would surely keep an eye on oneself, even after the goal is achieved, seeking a suitable point to begin handling.

Therefore, ”Ariel” must be taken seriously, especially now.

Believing that Lady Needle Witch and other masters behind her have already started showing stress reactions.

Even if all previous assumptions were speculative, there’s a certain probability the Night Watchman truly isn’t here for the Fire of Madness, it actually doesn’t affect the outcome—

Not here for it, but now ”Fire of Madness” appears, really preparing to ignore it?

Thanks to one’s constant cultivation of the atmosphere recently, Fu Qian believes the possibility should be very small.

With this heavyweight thrown out, even if Lady Needle Witch came for an affair, she must put on pants first—another pair taken off?

As an action advisor for the Night Watchman, Fu Qian habitually incorporates the other’s perspective, helping in analysis.

And at the very next moment, the change indeed occurred rapidly, though also quite eerie.

Rag doll in pairs?

Yet seeing clearly in front, the rag doll hiding to avoid the Fire of Madness suddenly hung from the ceiling before him.

Identical in size and appearance, only the mouth on the face smiling at him.

And as the saying goes, one doesn’t hit a smiling person, facing the sudden doubled threat, Fu Qian still tactfully did not move.

...

Reportedly when describing a smile, it’s often compared to sunshine.

Upon meeting gazes, at that moment, the rag doll’s face seemed even more radiant, to the point where sunlight really poured out.

Sure enough, the change wasn’t over yet, an endless Sea of Light engulfed everything in sight.

The enthusiasm was so intense that even Fu Qian could feel his hair and skin endure scorching, transforming into glass and ashes.

...

Was it really you?

Noticing that Lady Needle Witch’s behavior appeared somewhat overly proactive.

Even the Second Phase body couldn’t withstand, and at that moment, Fu Qian felt as if a hole had been burned in his stomach.

Yet a bit of pain awakened familiar memories.

Upon first arriving in Shangjing, having had the fortune to observe Old Master Logan’s raid, and ultimately injured by a vile person.

Though distanced, the impact was indeed identical.

Ariel Master.

This newly appeared rag doll was certainly not Lady Needle Witch’s second pair of pants.

Conversely, that power is the current target one seeks.

If solely relying on this is not convincing enough—

[Current mission updated, prevent the Lonely King from bearing offspring]

At the next moment, a pleasing notification already echoed beside the ear.
