Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2322 List (Part Four)

Oh... you're not too slow.

Although it looks unremarkable, the car is undoubtedly in pretty good condition.

Fu Qian listened intently to the engine, completely unaffected by the sudden progress and its impact on his speed.

I was just wondering what to call the old man, and now he's not only solved the problem, but also given me the final containment conditions.

Even the containment conditions somewhat match the name of the items being contained.

A wish to forget, a bucket list... though not very well organized.

Furthermore, it is only natural for people to make up for the regrets in their lives on their deathbed, which is also in line with the old man's demeanor and mental state.

I just don't know why. I had to get myself, the driver, a set of clothes like that.

Indeed, Fu Qian believes that the role he played in this incident was likely just completed.

The basis for this judgment, besides the fact that the clothes on Mr. Carton's body were not actually that new.

The styles are consistent, but the latter clearly shows more signs of having been worn. The simplest way to understand this is that one only maintains consistency because of personal requirements.

Even the gun he carried, such an overly ornate weapon, seemed somewhat out of place with the old man's attire.

It is far more reasonable for a mid-level transcendent being to possess such a dangerous item than for an ordinary person.

Let's take a look at what's on this old man's bucket list.

Of course, there's a small problem here: we know the old man's name, but what about our own?

"You drive much better than before... Encore."

After paying for the directions without expressing any objection, the old man's voice continued to come from behind.

……

Why isn't it strange at all?

Faced with the old man's cooperative behavior, Fu Qian sighed deeply at that moment.

Encore... The reuse of materials in the warehouse is getting more and more serious.

When I first noticed the altered facial features, I had a vague premonition, and sure enough, the same thing happened with the name.

Although not using a real name, it was still copied directly from an existing one.

"Thank you, maybe it's because I'm better at walking at night."

Of course, despite the complaints, I must thank Mr. Kardon for his approval before making a payment.

"Oh...you should have emphasized this talent during the interview, and then asked me for higher compensation."

Although it was just stating the facts, it still caused a brief lag in the program.

His eyes were still dim and cloudy, but they seemed to open a little wider when he looked over in the dark, and the old man's comments were quite impressive.

So he really was employed by someone? Things are getting stranger and stranger.

This person, who seems to be quite wealthy and powerful, actually hired someone specifically to complete his bucket list?
Although the praise wasn't particularly strong, it confirmed more things for the person in question.

Even the temporary hires went through interviews and screenings.

To be honest, with the previous mission being so successful, this word just sounds a bit ominous.

"Thanks for reminding me, I've noted it down."

Even so, Fu Qian was still very grateful for the old man's act of imparting his life experience despite disregarding his own interests, and immediately said that he had learned something new.

It seemed that saying these words was already very tiring, and after a moment of silence, Katon simply closed his eyes to rest.

He didn't say another word until Fu Qian slowed down.

……

Under the starry sky, only one car silently drove by. "Keep going, cross the bridge ahead."

As Fu Qian smoothly turned the car onto the side road, the instructions finally came from behind again.

Looking in the rearview mirror, you can clearly see that the old man was even resting with his eyes closed, looking very confident in his ability to navigate the route.

Although there had been a problem before.

On the way back before paying, I did see a courtyard that looked like a motel, not far from where the car broke down.

It can only be said that the old man had a very accurate grasp of distance, and going there to stay and resupply was a suitable choice.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. The place had clearly been abandoned for a long time. Although it was not exactly dilapidated, the white exterior walls were already covered with mold.

It can only be said that the feeling of returning home in glory is getting stronger and stronger. The old man may be familiar with these places, but he hasn't updated them since a certain point in time.

"You can stop now."

Of course, the setbacks he had faced earlier did not prevent him from remaining confident at this moment.

Only after crossing a stone bridge did Katon open his eyes amidst the sound of water, survey the area ahead, and finally point to a spot, indicating that Fuqian should stop.

What lay before them was a smaller settlement, with only a few dozen households in total, and the place Carton was pointing to was in front of one of the buildings with an orange-red roof.

"Do you want to come along?"

As the car stopped, he seemed to perk up considerably. He straightened himself up and got out of the car.

While keeping his eyes on the lights ahead, Katon didn't forget his manners and made a point of being polite to the driver.

"Okay."

The driver didn't stand on ceremony; on the contrary, he responded instantly, got up, and got out of the car.

Helping people complete their bucket lists sounds like a simple form of end-of-life care.

However, based on extensive experience with the task, Fu Qian believes that the likelihood of completing the task simply by lying down is still not high.

Furthermore, I couldn't refuse his kind invitation, as Mr. Carton was just enthusiastically sharing his life experiences.

……

After getting off the bus, the driver even straightened his clothes as if he were doing the same thing. Although he remained silent, he seemed deeply moved.

It's hard to say which aspect triggered it. After giving Fu Qian a deep look, he didn't say anything more. The next moment, he was already walking ahead and knocking on the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

This is where the saying "clothes make the man" comes into play. The person who came to open the door was clearly startled, but faced with the well-dressed old man, he still cautiously asked a question.

"Lucy?"

When his gaze fell on the person who opened the door, the old man actually gave a name.

She was a woman with chestnut curly hair, and she was quite old, though much younger than the old man.

"Lag? What's wrong with you...?"

As the old man called out, the man's brows furrowed quickly, and after looking him up and down, he suddenly covered his mouth.

Tsk tsk... The way these two acted as if no one else was around is just too easy for people to imagine.

As one of the spectators, Fu Qian looked through the open door at the long table filled with food and drinks and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Yes... I remember you once invited me to come and see your cat?"

However, the duo continued as if no one else was around. After the old man nodded in acknowledgment of their identities, he gave an extremely lame excuse.

"...But that cat has been dead for decades."

"It's ok."
