Chapter 2224 The King of Crucifixion (Part 9)
So, the Night Watchers appeared here not because they had noticed the illegal actions of the Primal Council, but because they also came to pay homage to the King?

At that moment, Fu Qian did not move, letting the "leeches" on his body suckle.

It has to be said, that was a very clever response.

Since your performance is so unpredictable that it's almost inhuman, and you seem completely unconcerned about the changes in your body and the intimidation from the Night Watchers, then I might as well help you speed things up.

It's a way to see if you're really not afraid, and also to use you as a tool.

Fu Qian expressed his complete understanding of the thinking behind this change.

It must be said that Lady Needle Witch is indeed very resourceful. Her ability to use the venue resources so skillfully and effortlessly demonstrates her mastery of all methods.

But the strength of a well-intentioned strategy lies in this: even with such a clever response, it doesn't mean there's no cost or that nothing is exposed.

I still reaped the rewards.

First of all, it's quite simple: the person over there is indeed a needle witch, and the doll is indeed here to test the waters.

Secondly, the Night Watchers seem to be keeping a low profile than usual, not in a hurry to start a big fight.

Finally, they also seemed interested in the "Lone King".

So what exactly is their purpose?

In the silent exchange, Fu Qian was instantly sparked with all sorts of imaginations, even wondering what role the original council played in it.

wow——

However, in this grand and passionate royal court, time for quiet contemplation was clearly rare.

Just as Fu Qian and the shy doll were looking at each other, another strange voice rang out, clearly coming from outside the door.

As for why it's considered strange, to put it more specifically, it's even somewhat difficult to distinguish whether it's vocal cord friction or fingernail scraping glass—fingernail scraping vocal cords.

Before the tasting session, the source of the sound had already come from behind the open door.

The resulting design is also quite eye-catching.

……

Compared to the leech guy from before, the newcomer was much more high-profile.

Not only was there no hood or anything like that, but the upper body was also covered by a sleeveless short-sleeved top that was almost too tight to fit, making one worry that it would burst open at any moment.

And his physical condition seemed to support this confidence. Compared to the leech's skeletal body, the flesh under his short clothes looked exceptionally full, and could only be described as robust.

But none of that is the main point; the most impactful spot for the person is the neck.

There's absolutely no need to perceive anything; the doctor indicated that blood vessels, trachea, and even bones can be clearly seen before payment.

The outer layer of flesh covering them was eroded quite cleanly, with even the upper and lower edges clearly defined, as if it had been deliberately cut out.

At the same time, it is not completely unprotected. You can see that the exposed internal structures are covered with a layer of white powder, and they look quite strong.

The strange sound just now was made by the person running their finger across the trachea, and the powder showed no signs of peeling off.

Furthermore, he felt that the sound brought him heartfelt joy, as if it brought him closer to a great being.

The problem is that he's also getting close to this side.

Clearly, this wasn't just a passing by; this building was their destination.

"quick!"

And it wasn't just him alone.

The moment the person looked up and saw Fu Qian sitting there, he turned around and growled, clearly urging him on.

Um--

After he finished shouting, it seemed that what he had just seen finally entered his mind, and he turned back to stare.

"Please come in." Fu Qian neither ignored him nor stood up, but simply nodded slightly in greeting.

……

Three people, one experienced and one new?
There was no response; the person simply stood there, their eyes darting around with alarming speed, making one wonder if they could even focus.

Fu Qian wasn't too critical of this, as his previous performance suggested that his internal processing system was probably in a state of considerable disorder.

In addition, there is more than one that appears to be disordered.

In the midst of this silence, the person being urged appeared, and two more heads appeared behind them.

One of them looked very much like him, also with a normal human face, female, and the neck supporting it was also carefully cut out and powdered—

Actually, it seems there's a misunderstanding; the whiteness on the neck doesn't appear to be the result of cosmetic enhancement, but rather something that grows naturally.

But the one walking at the back was a short man who was slightly younger than the other two.

The biggest difference is that his neck isn't as upright, and the skin and flesh still look intact.

Meanwhile, on the outside of the skin, there is a powdery texture that looks like the frost on a persimmon, and it is the same color as the other two people.

He was even quite certain that the substance, like the icing on a persimmon, was coming out from the inside.

Also, it seems we now know what this team is here for.

While commenting on the three people's outfits, Fu Qian also noticed what the female office worker was holding.

It was a uniquely shaped knife, long and sharp, with one end resembling a small peach, easily reminiscent of a production tool called a pig castration knife, and the clear demarcation on their necks.

Is the same thing going to be done to the remaining newcomer? So they came all the way to the place where the dream began?

With his strong empathy, Fu Qian could easily deduce the possible purpose of the team in front of him and realize that he was in the way.

Of course, being conscious is one thing, but not being truly conscious of it beforehand means standing up to give way to others.

……

As it turns out, human adaptability is indeed limitless.

The six darting eyes clearly noticed Fu Qian sitting inside.

Once the male white-collar worker's mindset started working again, he immediately continued to organize the team and walked in.

There was no response to the previous greeting, nor any expression of disgust or a desire to shoo people away; instead, the place was simply treated as empty, and the person was ignored.

Considering their mindset, this proactive psychological concealment actually seems somewhat reasonable.

"right here."

Before the review session, the male office worker gestured for the new employee to sit cross-legged on the floor.

In contrast, the latter's reaction was noticeably more human; while following the instructions, he even glanced in this direction.

However, as they followed the instructions, a certain desire seemed to be quickly aroused, and soon the newcomer was standing with his back straight, less than two meters away.

Is it really as I thought, helping newcomers transform?
It was clearly a good spot to watch the ceremony, and Fu Qian looked at it without any restraint.

From this angle, you can see that the newlyweds' necks are more than just icing.

The skin and flesh on the surface seemed to have become brittle, and it made a crackling sound as it moved, squeezed by the various internal structures.

The next moment, an even louder sound appeared, and the efficient male white-collar worker immediately swiftly wielded his knife, helping to break free from the shackles of worldly life.

The skin and flesh were indeed as crisp as an eggshell, peeling off in chunks.
