Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2040: Attitude is More Important Than Ability

The crown of thorns is an ornament that is not difficult to imagine.

Even just hearing the name, it feels like there are sharp thorns piercing my forehead.

However, it is somewhat surprising that it is made of real thorns rather than a symbolic handicraft.

For example, the first thing Fu Qian thought of when he heard it was the thorns of sin that originally belonged to the goddess of sin, but now it seems that it is closer to nature.

"But there are no thorns in the Night Watch base?"

In a split second, Fu Qian was thinking about the special news brought by Lanaya and asked casually.

"No, and Lily didn't make it up, although she seemed to like it."

Lanaya's tone was somewhat peculiar, as if it was difficult to judge whether such a development was good or bad.

"So now she's looking for someone? She doesn't even know who sent it?"

Fu Qian could understand where Lanaya's perception came from. Although the victim had never been seen again after the invitation letter incident, it was not surprising that Lily's condition was relatively serious.

“Of course… Although Lily wasn’t hurt, something like this happened right in the Night Watch base. We can’t just pretend nothing happened.

"As for why they are in such a hurry to find you, I really don't know."

Lanaya obviously didn't understand why Professor Fu became the direct target of help, she just empathized with the Night Watchman.

"But you're not even sure about the situation, yet you agreed so readily?"

Of course, the next moment, she did not forget to be curious about Fu Qian's positive attitude.

"You don't understand. For this kind of emergency project with low expectations, the key lies in the speed of response. Now that the key part has been completed, all we have to do is do our best and wait for the reception."

In response to this, Fu Qian just waved his hand, leaned there comfortably, and shared his experience with his leader.

"That's true. At least the Night Watchmen's attitude towards us has been much gentler recently than before... You have made a great contribution to this."

As the head of the Punishment Department, Lanaya undoubtedly has a clear sense of certain things. The current harmonious situation between the academy and the night watchmen is really inseparable from the contribution of the person next to her.

In addition, considering what Professor Fu had done in the past, his desire for "hospitality" seemed inexplicably reasonable.

……

"It's going to be hard work again, Professor Fu."

This is my first time to come to the Night Guard base here. I can only say that compared with the territory of Chief Shangjing Yuan, it is much more low-key.

The painting style is similar, and there is also a black building as sharp as a knife in the center.

The local Chief Yuan was already waiting there and greeted Fu Qian and the other two immediately.

"No problem. I'm just curious about how hard you guys plan to work."

Professor Fu was forthright and expressed the main idea of ​​this trip right away - don't have too high expectations.

"Let's talk as we walk... Professor Lanaya should have given you a general introduction to the situation, right?"

Yuan Fang obviously felt something was wrong as well. He gave a slightly helpless smile and led the way ahead.

"Well, the Crown of Thorns, Invitation Victims, and the like."

Fu Qian nodded and looked at the not-so-many people in the base.

From this point, we can see that the Night Guards have confidence in the academy's ability to correct itself, and they have not stationed a large number of troops there yet.

"Yes, the crown is even still on her head. Although the thorns are quite painful, we did not take it off by force."

The route Yuan Fang led was actually straight to the black building, and even went downwards, which reminded people of the scene when Yuan Shan took Chang to visit the Shangjing base.

"Lily asked for it herself. She wanted a place that was as quiet as possible."

Before Fu Qian could get curious, Yuan Fang explained why the person was here. "Considering that her condition was not very stable, we finally decided to meet this request.

"Then what's special about this incident is that Mr. Eco just tried to treat her last night, but this happened early in the morning..."

I see. I don't think Mr. Eco will be very happy.

While listening to more information, Fu Qian did not say what he was thinking - because he had even seen the person involved before.

"Thanks for your hard work."

It has to be said that compared with some of his colleagues, Eco is quite polite.

She greeted him immediately with a not-so-excited expression and then opened a door next to her.

……

Not behind a door, but behind glass.

The layout was similar to that of an interrogation room. Fu Qian followed him in and looked at the figure standing quietly in the deeper part of the room.

Although it was only her profile, it was still not difficult to recognize that she was the young woman who had greeted him at the dance.

Even without seeing the sun, he still looked in great shape, as if the blood was always surging in his heart - and in his head too.

It was indeed a genuine crown of thorns, with all the thorns pointing inside. After it was put on the head, the blood drops from the thorns had not even completely coagulated.

In addition, although Yuan Fang mentioned that it would be quite painful, Lily herself seemed unaware of it.

With a smile on her lips, she stared at the wall on the other side, as if she was looking through a window into the infinite distance.

"She remained like this when she was found in the morning."

At this time, Yuan Fang introduced softly from the side.

"Can Professor Fu find anything special?"

And Eco did not put on airs, and quietly confirmed his observations with Fu Qian.

"Before Ian died, he did try to transform into a tree-like shape, but his material was more flesh and blood, which is quite different from this."

Fu Qian answered quickly, and the object of comparison seemed a little strange at first, but Mr. Eco's eyes flickered at that moment.

Hey...what else can you do by asking me to come here?

For jobs like consultant and strategist, one thing that is more important than giving advice is to figure out what the person asking the question wants to do.

Although the situation in front of him was indeed strange, the Night Guards always had some ambition and would not ask for help from outsiders easily.

In Fu Qian's opinion, the reason why Mr. Eco sent someone to call him over in a hurry was because he was irreplaceable in some aspects.

And what aspects will it be?

Ian is related to "Ian's lover" Lily.

The execution of Ian was witnessed by the murderer himself.

There were certain odd elements that Eco wondered if were present at the time to help confirm the nature of the crown.

The answer is obviously no.

Compared with the Tree of Ecstasy, the crown on Lily's head was surprisingly something else. Not only did it have no extraordinary aura, but one could even see fresh juice at the broken end.

Although the answer given by Fu Qian was a bit ambiguous.

"But—Ren De Society?"

While Mr. Aiko was frowning and thinking, Fu Qian added another sentence the next moment.
