Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2227 The King of Crusade (Part 12)

Good, the response was very quick.

At first glance, Fu Qian's behavior seems excessively unrestrained.

For the Night Watchers, the commotion from Lanfeilai alone was enough to set off alarm bells, making them realize the possible triumphant return of an ancient overlord.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Mad Fire could be directly linked to a higher-ups.

Even more telling is the story of Mr. Stos, whose sudden loss of ability serves as further evidence.

In short, this golden flame must be an extremely sensitive thing within the Night Watchers at present.

Any display of power is enough to make them raise their police ring count to purple—like it is now.

Although it was only a small release, and the power was controlled like the Gospel Blast, it was still enough to completely annihilate the thing wrapped around his leg.

Even the burlap dolls, which weren't affected, vanished on the spot and reappeared in a corner of the room.

They reacted quickly and knew what was important.

This only proves the previous speculation and is quite in line with Lord Needle Witch's style.

Of course, this was only a superficial reaction. Behind this scene, the extent of the storm raging on the Night Watchers' side was truly something to imagine—that's exactly what they wanted to imagine.

Besides the glorious deeds mentioned above, there were actually various signs of this frenzied fire much earlier.

For example, in the investigation report on "finger ball", Professor Fu of Xuegong mentioned that golden flames were suspected to have been discovered.

Then, in the burial ground of the gods, a white-faced man wielded a knife and committed murder, directly attacking the guards.

In addition, the world has been in turmoil recently, with various ancient beings seemingly stirring up trouble. As guardians of order, how could the Night Watchers not carry out targeted work—such as investigating potential threats from the Mad Fire?

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

I had previously wondered why the style was so unusually conservative, and what the specific purpose was.

They don't want to overly affect the stability of this place, and with an expert like Lady Kelin involved, it doesn't seem simple at all.

……

Once this assumption is made, all the behaviors seem much more reasonable, which is why the praise and response were so quick.

The Night Watchman is indeed conscientious and responsible, which is reassuring.

If this assumption holds true, it also means that a question might have an answer—why here?

Careful investigation naturally targets areas that may pose potential risks.

Why do we believe there are potential risks here?

Location-sensitive? Rapid growth?
These characteristics do seem to exist—or, to put it more directly, are they the result of self-initiated behavior?
Indeed, the bloodthirsty impulses of the two gatekeepers after the interview already made Fu Qian feel somewhat attuned to the situation, vaguely reminding him of an old friend.

After entering, the group's behavior became increasingly erratic, until they encountered the three white-collar workers in front of them.

If the neck is white, is it possible to go a step further and have a white face as well?

Like the brother I met in Arkons?

Without the preceding speculation as a basis, such associations would be clearly too far-fetched.

But with all these elements combined, the sense of déjà vu becomes stronger and stronger.

Is the white-faced man, Brother Zhege, from this place?

Because it has similar properties to Argonne, it can move around inside from time to time.

Because of his actions in the burial ground, the Night Watchers, who were usually quite lenient with such situations, suddenly became extremely vigilant.
If this is indeed the case, then the workings of fate in this world are truly wondrous beyond words.

And I believe that my actions just now will have a surprising effect.

Looking for the madness fire, huh? Well, here it is.

Of course, the greatest significance of this is not to scare people, but to help Brother Ariel occupy the main position in this enthusiastic atmosphere.

...Never forget our original aspiration.

The night watchman had other important business to attend to, so he showed unusual leniency towards the lawbreakers right under his nose.

Flexibility in law enforcement is understandable, but it's not the kind of scene I want to see.

We still need them to find people.

If everyone fails to recognize the Night Watchers' potential intentions and simply stops there, it means they will not only lose an ally but also gain an obstacle.

After all, no matter what, the Night Watchers will definitely keep an eye on you, and even after you've achieved your goal, they'll look for a suitable opportunity to deal with you.

Therefore, "Ariel" must be taken seriously, for example, right now.

I believe that Lord Needle Witch and the other experts behind her have already begun to show signs of stress.

Even if all of the above are just speculation, and there's a certain probability that the Night Watchers aren't actually looking for the Madfire, it wouldn't really affect the outcome.

You didn't come here looking for trouble, but now that the "madness" has appeared, are you really going to just sit idly by?

Thanks to his recent efforts to create a conducive atmosphere, Fu Qian believes that the possibility is extremely small.

Once this heavyweight is thrown out, even if Lord Needle Witch came here for an affair, he'll have to put his pants back on first—and then take them off again?
As the Night Watchers' action advisor, Fu Qian habitually tries to understand the situation from the other party's perspective, helping to analyze the situation.

And in the very next moment, the change happened quite swiftly, though it was also quite bizarre.

Dolls in pairs?

But the burlap doll that had hidden itself in the corner to escape the raging fire was still there, and now another one was hanging down from above.

The same size and face, only the mouth of the face is smiling at itself.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and despite the sudden doubling of the threat, Fu Qian remained very discreet and didn't make a move.

……

It is said that when describing a smile, the metaphor of sunshine is often used.

As they locked eyes, the burlap doll's face seemed to brighten even more, as if sunlight were truly streaming through it.

Sure enough, the changes were not over yet; an endless ocean of light engulfed everything in sight.

This passion was so intense that even before I finished writing, I could feel my hair and skin being scorched, turning into glass and ashes.

……

Is it really you?
To be honest, Lord Needle Witch's performance was a bit too enthusiastic.

Even a second-tier body couldn't withstand it; at that moment, Fu Qian felt as if a hole had been burned into his stomach.

However, the slight pain awakens familiar memories.

When I first arrived in Beijing, I had the privilege of witnessing Mr. Logan's surprise attack and his eventual injury at the hands of a villain.

Although we were far apart at the time, the impact was exactly the same.

Your Excellency Ariel.

This newly appeared burlap doll is definitely not Lord Needle Witch's second pair of pants.

That opposite force is precisely the goal I'm currently looking for.

If this alone is not convincing enough—

[The current mission has been updated: Prevent the King from having an heir]

The next moment, a pleasant notification rang in my ears.

　Sorry to stop here, I'm quite busy, there will only be one update today.
