Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2343 List (Twenty-Five)

Is this what they mean by "I grew up to be like you"? The comment that Mr. Carton once made about his father has actually appeared on his own face.

At that moment, Fu Qian remained still, simply watching the changes unfold.

It has to be said that Kardon's description at the time was quite accurate; in the blink of an eye, it looked like there were two faces there.

The red was blood red, and the white was like that of a dead person.

Normal people cannot do this; it is undoubtedly a change that falls into the realm of the extraordinary, and it is very likely due to his own actions just now.

For Kardon, it didn't seem to be all bad, because while the bloody face became increasingly ferocious, his own features became calmer.

As the contrast grew larger, at one point the bloody face even transcended its physical form and began to tear itself apart.

Even the illusory blood-red body was rapidly filling in the details, becoming more solid.

squeak-

When they sat up and rolled off the bed, the worn-out mattress was already groaning under the weight of the two of them.

Why did you do this to him?

Before Fu could even greet them, the newly appeared figure was already staring in their direction and had already asked a question.

……

It's probably not when Mr. Carson was young, although there are some similarities in appearance.

So it really is that Mr. Dickins?
Having received far too much unfriendly treatment, Fu Qian didn't take it to heart at all, and simply sized up the figure.

He was much younger than the old man, with a similar thin face, but his eyes were sharper.

Another reason for identifying it as his doctor father is that the man was wearing a robe with the same teeth marks as the skeleton.

"You're Carton's father? Sorry, we were just joking around."

Regardless of their appearance, they are at least acquaintances and elders.

Fu Qian didn't continue his impolite silence; instead, he greeted her with a smile.

As he spoke, he even gestured towards Katon's chest, indicating that he had only been joking around and had accidentally punched through there.

"That's not what I meant. I meant why you treated his last wish this way."

Mr. Deakins' response was quite appropriate; he genuinely didn't care about the minor matter of being shot in the chest, stating that the focus was on the commotion before payment.

"This is something he's always wanted to do, and you know that perfectly well, but instead of helping, you're making things worse?"

Since the only seat was occupied by Fu Qian, Mr. Dickins quickly sat back on the windowsill and continued to berate the man lying on the bed.

It has to be said that it sounded quite righteous and stern.

Strip away everyone's appearance, and it's like a parent forcefully mediating a conflict between two young people.

Although most of the time, this behavior only makes the situation worse—

Fu Qian didn't say anything, but just looked over.

But then, Katon's body, which had been calm, was suddenly disturbed again, and another bloody mark appeared on his body.

This one appears to be noticeably petite, and even has long hair hanging down.

A woman?
……

It's not surprising; it's said that before a person dies, all the people in their life will flash through their mind like a revolving lantern.

Fu Qian continued to scrutinize the second figure.

The first thing she did was sit on the edge of the bed, silently looking over without saying a word.

Normally, it would be easier to understand if it were Lucy, but unfortunately it's an unfamiliar face.

He was only slightly younger than Mr. Deakins, but also thinner and with a more serious expression. Even so, Fu Qian indicated he could still guess his identity.

Because the other person was wearing the same long robe.

The one that got eaten?

The woman, a member of a mysterious group, is clearly reminiscent of Mr. Dickinson's patient.

The only logical problem is that, for Carton, this face shouldn't seem to exist in his memory.

Yes, perhaps such a change makes people feel as if the dream world of Katon has enveloped this place.

However, Fu Qian was very certain that the situation in front of him did not fall into that category, otherwise he could have directly taken action to complete the mission.

Although my current rank isn't very high, getting myself involved in a dream is by no means an easy thing.

In Fu Qian's view, both Mr. Dickins and Ms. Ya Yi were more like a special projection of will.

The fact that the Glorious Tyrant was putting extra pressure on them is proof of this; it was even adjusting its power to avoid breaking them.

So theoretically, the scene before us is more like Kardon questioning himself.

Still unable to fall asleep, he questioned himself about his unfriendly behavior.

"You shouldn't be here."

As expected, the tone was very unfriendly. Ms. Ya Yi finally spoke up and directly stated that payment was not welcome.

"Why? Because I didn't pay for the room?"

Nodding slightly, Fu Qian showed no displeasure in his tone, but was earnestly discussing the reasons.

"Yes, my shop has always been a paid-stay business."

……

Oh? So Ms. Toothpaste is really the owner of this shop?
That would be even more interesting.

It was a conversation that could be described as suicide, but at that moment, I felt I had gained a lot.

On the surface, it seems that the question from before has been answered.

That's why, in Kardon's understanding, there's this face of the Tooth-Clad Lady? The skeleton he buried in the warehouse was a male skeleton.

The hotel owner may not stand at the front desk, but Carton, who stays here, is much more likely to have seen her.

Even the subsequent speculations about why the hotel was abandoned seem to have all come together.

But this is far too simplistic logic. With just a little thought, one can see that Mr. Dickins was secretly going out for dinner at night.

So even if Katon had seen that face before, it would be difficult to match it with the identity of the ingredient.

From this perspective, what's happening now seems to be somewhat beyond the scope of lag's understanding...

"Sorry, I'm used to the 'stay now, pay later' membership service."

Faced with the woman in the toothpaste's questioning, Fu Qian readily took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed them over, even making sure to apologize.

"...No need, you can continue answering his questions."

The fact that the person who skipped out on the bill was compensated so readily surprised Ms. Ya Yi.

Perhaps after some reflection, she realized that the service environment here was actually a bit poor, and soon she gave a stern look and indicated that the meal would be free, on the condition that he answer Mr. Dickins' questions before paying.

"It's alright, I have no use for material possessions anyway."

Before paying, he had no intention of taking advantage of the situation and casually tossed the money next to the opened bottle of wine.

"So what you have in your hand... why do you think Karton killed its original owner?"

Before the action was even finished, Mr. Deakins had already spoken up, escalating the dispute between the young people into a murder case.
