Chapter 2655: Chapter 2650: Eight Wicked Women (26)

It’s an insult.

As expected, when Nepheli stated that she didn’t care whether she could leave or not, her language became much more unrestrained, revealing her true self.

Not only did she casually make brief comments about the three original people in the Dark Holy Hall, but her opinions were even sharp.

Professor Lisa was suspicious only because she was the first to arrive, while Miss Liushuang’s slight suspicion was due to a somewhat subtle reason—her expertise wasn’t a perfect match.

As for Lady No.7, it was quite blunt to say she ”lacked the capability,” which always made people feel it implied intelligence.

As a result, as the group analyzed the credibility of these evaluations, their gazes coincidentally landed on this person, curious about her reaction.

”Thank you... for the recognition.”

And reality proved that while she might lack wit, she did have a certain degree of magnanimity.

After a moment of breathless silence, Lady No.7’s raspy voice surprisingly lacked any trace of teeth-gnashing but instead expressed gratitude.

In the face of great matters, she set aside personal honor and disgrace.

Even Fu Qian quietly praised such a self-surpassing display.

Though harsh-sounding, it was, in rational consideration, indeed praise.

It’s a free way to clear your suspicion, unless you also don’t care about freedom like Nepheli, otherwise, the probability of being mobbed is significantly reduced.

”Thank you for your response.”

And it wasn’t only her; after quietly watching the interaction between the two, Wen Li also expressed serious gratitude to Nepheli.

”So, do you have any explanation?”

She then turned her head towards Lisa.

...

It looks like they’ve moved to the next phase.

The transition was somewhat abrupt, after all, it was just Nepheli’s one-sided statement, and her reasoning wasn’t far from a joke.

Yet Wen Li truly let the former go and began targeting Lisa.

This seemingly unreasonable behavior was something Fu Qian, however, understood completely, matching his previous deductions.

Progress had to be made no matter what if the current organization was to be maintained.

As long as they weren’t fools, everyone could see the simplicity of the reasoning, but at this point, it was no longer about right or wrong, but about calculating losses and gains.

A model with a certain possibility of yielding good results, why not go along with it?

”Actually, if you listen carefully, it does make sense. From this angle, my suspicion indeed seems bigger.”

Even the seemingly innocent victim showed amazing cooperation.

Faced with Wen Li’s inquiry, Professor Lisa frowned and nodded, admitting that although Nepheli’s reasoning was simple, there were no obvious logical problems.

Without a significant mismatch in type of capabilities, the earlier you arrive, the more leisurely you can arrange things; the suspicion is naturally bigger without any fault.

”I am more curious, if there is no way to prove your innocence, what do you plan to do?”

Yet after this cooperation, she seemed to sense a giving up attitude.

Lisa appeared not to want to make an effort to argue for herself, directly concerned about the outcome instead.

It’s somewhat of a negative confrontation, but Fu Qian still found it understandable.

Compared to a baseless accusation, this reasoning, while weak, is also hard to refute.

Trying to prove innocence casually isn’t much less difficult than having to perform seppuku.

Oh?

As everyone knows, the moment a thorn appears is a test of the manager’s capabilities.

As soon as Professor Lisa spoke, more than a few eyes turned towards Wen Li.

Any display of hesitation or weakness right now could very well be the start of losing one’s voice in the group.

Even a mindless forcefulness won’t do; everyone is not here to play the Tyrant game with you.

”I require you to find another suspect.”

It proved that Wen Li did not hesitate for a single second, clearly having considered the answer long beforehand.

...

A chain reaction?

Concluding too early before, there really is a bit of a tyrant style in this?

Wen Li’s words sparked a strong reaction; not only did Lisa frown and think deeply, even Chief Yuan seemed puzzled by her decision.

”And then? I don’t see the point... let that person point to another one?”

After an uncomfortable silence, it was Lisa, more straightforward, who voiced her doubts.

”No need, two is enough.”

Wen Li shook her head, proving it was never a pointless game.

”I have a small method to verify whether you two are the ones with problems, or if both of you are innocent.”

As she spoke, she raised the hand not linked with Fu Qian, revealing thin webbing between her fingers, along with skin akin to embedded crystals.

...

Indeed, everyone hadn’t followed the wrong person.

The form was certainly rather striking, especially for the ladies among them.

As everyone observed the hand that no longer quite looked human, Fu Qian remarked he had seen this scene before.

Mythical Form, a technique Miss Wen, as a daughter of fate, mastered upon reaching High Tier.

The fine scales, like water droplets, when viewed long enough, could readily stir one’s emotions and desires.

Of course, from Fu Qian’s perspective, it seemed not to have such an effect for now.

It must be that Miss Wen had tempered the aggressiveness for the moment.

But everyone there recognized it, clearly discerning the power behind this low profile—along with resolve.

The earlier words weren’t just talk, she had long planned how to execute in practice, and indeed had the means to back it up.

What seemed a forceful and brainless demand now appeared as strategic planning.

In this journey, everyone’s abilities seemed to have been somewhat balanced.

For instance, the supposedly stronger Nepheli didn’t appear to have a significantly overwhelming advantage.

Even the gap between Middle Tier and High Tier was no longer insurmountable.

So what kind of nature does this situation entail? A spring dream?

Fu Qian touched the new wound under his ribs, remarking that it seemed a bit too sensual...

As for Wen Li’s little method, considering her previous promotion ceremony, which also involved two individuals, it indeed easily invoked thoughts of emotional ripples.

At the time, it targeted two Demigods, causing emotional ripples to resonate repeatedly.

Now after ascending to High Tier, using Mythical Form to force action should yield even more impressive results, so it wasn’t mere bluff.

”... Weren’t there originally two already?”

Clearly, Lisa, too, was shocked by Wen Li’s display, falling into a brief silence.

Yet when she spoke again, she glanced towards Nepheli, raising an objection.

It wasn’t unfounded, it even seemed to catch onto a flaw in Wen Li’s words.

With two suspects, wasn’t that enough from the start?

Why not proceed then, only to find an extra one now?

Simply from that point, that self-assurance seemed to show slight cracks—

”Because I truly believe she has no problem.”

Unfortunately, this still didn’t baffle Wen Li; her response was blunt yet penetrating.
