Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2719: Chapter 2714: The Voyeur in the Cabinet

Are there new players?

And it sounds like this room is quite lively.

”Anna” is undoubtedly a female name, and combined with the context, Fu Qian expresses that what she and Don Juan did in this place is also becoming apparent.

However, thinking about it makes sense. On one hand, Don Juan’s reputation in this area is already well-known, with his father personally certifying that nearly one-third of the female guests at the wedding have had spiritual and physical encounters with him.

On the other hand, the lady outside just mentioned a crucial point: Don Juan calls this place ”the only private corner in the Em House Palace,” a place where what one does won’t be discovered.

From Fu Qian’s perspective, this statement should have a certain degree of credibility.

As someone at least in the Second Phase of the Transcendent, if Jose wished, every move within the Em House Palace should be able to be monitored.

From this perspective, as his offspring, Don Juan’s growth process should have been somewhat oppressive.

In such a situation, for the sake of the child’s psychological health, creating a private space is actually quite necessary.

And this private space must be genuine, similar to the Chief Yuan’s office, using special materials and arrangements to a certain extent to isolate it from prying eyes.

And for Don Juan, whether to avoid his father’s on-site guidance or to make it easier for the woman he fancies to let her guard down and bring her here for deep communication, it’s a completely reasonable choice.

The only question might be, why would Jose be concerned about the child’s psychological health?

From the brief performance in the small chapel earlier, it could be seen that he wasn’t exactly a very warm person.

There might indeed be the instinct of a tiger not eating its cubs, but it’s hard to say exactly how careful he was about their upbringing.

Of course, in any case, it’s almost certain that Ms. Anna is one of Don Juan’s lovers and has almost certainly been here.

She might even have been caught here by the young woman outside.

But here’s where it gets intriguing. A place even Mr. He Sr. can’t spy on, how did the young lady outside successfully become an observer?

”Anna she...”

And while curious about this, the male lead outside was clearly also stuck on this name, feeling embarrassed as if caught red-handed.

Of course, for Fu Qian, it’s clear that no matter how natural it appears, it’s essentially just an act.

Don’t forget that this ”Don Juan” is fake; unless there’s a real Soul Searching Technique, his performer, Mr. Ji Sr., finding this place and even this lover, is already quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, until now, Fu Qian notes that the entire Bookstore World might be filled with Extraordinary Power, but aside from the target being naturally puppet-like, he’s rarely encountered characters who can directly gain insight into a target’s inner thoughts.

Did you see how even the infamous Lord Patch can only make conceptual distortions along certain elements, lacking premonition about his own ”it’s high noon” determination?

So to Fu Qian, under Mr. Ji Sr.’s seemingly normal reaction, he should also be perplexed about how such a thing got exposed by the people on the other side.

”She and I are just play-acting.”

And after a brief consideration, his reaction was also unsurprising.

On one hand, he was vague, and on the other hand, he emphasized, ”You’re different, those ordinary women can’t compare to you.”

”Is that so? Why do I see you enjoying yourself a lot then?”

Unfortunately, the response he got was just a cold laugh, the person facing him was clearly steeped in dual grievances, far from easily persuaded.

Even between the mockery, a corner of a wine-red long dress appeared in the view of the No. 5 camera, as if the young woman was about to leave in anger.

Although she stopped again immediately, having apparently been held back.

”...You were here?”

And not being mocked in vain, it was clear Mr. Ji Sr., who had grabbed a hand, finally realized something.

”In that cabinet?”

Even the next moment, a hand entered the view, pointing this way.

...

Isn’t it obvious, of course it was.

Once again, silence fell outside, and Fu Qian, pointed out by a firm finger, had no panic of fire burning onto himself, just sighed inwardly.

It couldn’t have been simpler.

The previously mentioned contradiction, upon reflection, reveals the answer.

A place where even Jose can’t spy from outside, how could such a young person have that ability—unless she was spying from inside.

Being proof against transgressions doesn’t mean being theft-proof, especially since the young woman was clearly led here once.

Whether it was to give a surprise or because the momentum wasn’t right and prepared to catch infidelity, in any case, secretly infiltrating this place in advance and eventually witnessing ”the affair between a lover and his lover” is not such an unimaginable plot.

And although so far, the full view of the room hasn’t been glimpsed.

Judging by the space size alone, there shouldn’t be many places like this cabinet that can hide people.

All things considered, ”I should be under the car, not inside the cabinet,” a scenario that’s quite bothersome just to think about, immediately pops into mind.

Even besides this, there’s another piece of non-evidence evidence—right now the No. 5 camera location is also inside the cabinet?

From the start until now, all these camera positions could be said to be based on living people, and this time is no exception.

There is a person inside the cabinet.

...

Yes, the tables turn, and this time it’s the person who was once inside the cabinet being observed.

Although the view from camera No. 5 is dead focused on the gap in the middle of the cabinet, it doesn’t prevent Fu Qian from confirming that its frame is of a person hunched over.

The age might be slightly older than the one outside, but the corner of his eye glimpses still shows fingers like spring onions, along with a semi-transparent mesh glove outside.

The character in the story telling the story, it’s very clear that ”Don Juan” still hasn’t explained things outside, and here it’s once more a live caught-in-the-act performance.

As for why Professor Fu isn’t panicking in such a melodramatic scene?

The direct reason is naturally due to previous experience.

As an observer, even if the plot develops dramatically, ”Don Juan” running over to yank open the cabinet wouldn’t affect him at all.

Apart from that, there’s also another reason, an apparent flaw blind spot.

That’s not really Don Juan outside, but the veteran from the elite warehouse, Mr. Ji Sr.

This room might have the effect of warding off Extraordinary Perception, but does the cabinet also have it?

All this time, after talking so long, does he have any reason not to notice there’s someone inside the cabinet?

The only explanation is he pretends not to notice.

So for Fu Qian, upon realizing Mr. Ji Sr. was outside, one of the core expectations is how he’d handle the peeper in the cabinet.
