Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2378 Hidden Snow
It's almost time.

The mistake of opening the scroll was indeed true.

Learning time is always short; in the blink of an eye, the buried scroll is almost ready to cool down.

Although I don't mind observing everyone's ingenious ideas for a while longer, and Lisa's situation is indeed somewhat special.

But Professor Akai's situation undoubtedly seemed more urgent, so Fu Qian chose to take his leave.

"……Thanks for your hard work."

Lisa's expression was somewhat complicated.

As mentioned earlier, she still found it hard to believe that Professor Fu would be so diligent in his visit.

So much so that even now, after that inexplicable conversation, my posture is still a bit stiff.

Surprisingly, Professor Fu's volunteer work seemed genuinely diligent and flawless.

As this confusion continued to fester, the volunteer suddenly took his leave, leaving Lisa almost at a loss for how to react.

"It's not hard."

Of course, I won't be too demanding of him, after all, he's a young man who needs more experience.

He greeted her with a smile and a polite remark, even making a point of saying goodbye to Litte before getting up and leaving.

……

The weather doesn't seem so nice today. Is it going to snow again?

Outside the laboratory, it was already quite late.

Looking around, you can see that the sunshine level is not as good as before.

The clouds weren't thick, but they still completely blocked the sun, casting a shadow over the vibrant academy.

While silently sensing the danger, Fu Qian's destination was also very clear: head straight for the battle-damaged Shanju Temple.

The exploration of the world has never been limited to standing in the sunlight, has it?
Humanity, which has survived the long night to the present day, should all have this awareness... like Professor Akai.

In Fu Qian's view, although the young man's achievements were incomparable to those of Lady Neferi, the latter had more of an advantage in terms of being the first to act.

In the realm of miracles, the winner-takes-all phenomenon is still too pronounced.

If we were to truly put everyone on the same starting line, Professor Akai would be considered one of the best in the academy, both in terms of his comprehension and courage.

So although theoretically he could have easily pushed the matter away, Fu Qian still believed that there was some value in anticipating the trouble he had caused.

Even now, we've already reaped quite a harvest—it's actually snowing?

At one point, Fuqian, who was not far from Shanjuin, slowed down and looked at the still magnificent building.

The scene, already marked by stark cracks, exuded a low-pressure atmosphere. Yet, upon closer inspection, one could actually see a chill emanating from it.

Something was enveloping it. Although the drifting white could not be seen, judging from the appearance, it really looked like invisible chills were constantly falling.

……

Snow that can't be seen?
While there are some coincidences, considering that the people operating inside are several instructors from the Shanzhou Academy, it doesn't seem so strange.

After all, I've seen my fair share of strange and wonderful miracles, but I don't know what other effects it might have besides subtly changing the weather.

The next moment, Fu Qian had already stepped into that cold place, reaching out his hand—yes, there was a kind of beauty in the absence of material.

Upon handling it, I was immediately struck by its coolness.

Regardless of size, temperature, or even heat conversion, it's all so classic, as if you're really reaching out to catch a snowflake. Except that you still can't see it, and it doesn't melt into water after absorbing heat.

Furthermore, even though there's a ceiling above, it still falls on you.

"Professor Fu, you're here? I was just about to look for you."

In the midst of this, hurried footsteps approached, followed by Rob's voice, a mixture of surprise and delight.

Looking up, he could see two unfamiliar faces following behind him; these must be the support forces from the Zenju Institute.

"Anything discovered?"

He nodded slightly to the group, then wasted no time and got straight to the point.

"Yes... but we can't be sure it's related to Akai's matter, or that Professor Boyd discovered it."

As it turned out, Rob actually brought good news, and in the next moment he introduced it to someone behind him.

"Oh? Through this kind of invisible snow?"

Fu Qian followed his gaze and simultaneously flipped his hand over.

As one of the two unfamiliar faces, one could tell that he was a relatively older mentor, with unusually bright brown eyes and a dignified and refined appearance.

"Yes, this miracle itself does not have significant destructive power, but its advantage is that it covers a large area... It is not just a simple matter of making the surroundings colder. The invisible cold will chill the invisible, and under its influence, some things will be more difficult to hide."

It was clear that, although they had never met before, Professor Fu was not just a stranger to Boyd, who had a certain air about him. For a moment, Boyd's attitude was surprisingly respectful.

This is the characteristic of the extraordinary circle: natural strength speaks for itself.

Moreover, although the factions are different, the rank and grade are the same.

Facing a high-ranking transcendent being whose name he had only heard of, who seemed relatively gentle and even took the initiative to help the Good Curse Academy, Boyd's demeanor remained absolutely serious as he softly explained the "snow" before him.

"Good idea, what did you discover?"

Everyone has a different personality, so before proceeding, I didn't intend to break the ice or anything like that; I went straight to confirming the most crucial issues.

……

"Something has contaminated this place; I'm not sure if it's a remnant of the last accident."

Indeed, the best way to communicate with technical personnel is to talk about technology. Boyd's attention instantly returned to exploration and discovery, and he quickly gave an introduction.

"It's a very subtle effect that's hard to grasp or even describe. It doesn't seem to cause any harm at present, and it doesn't react in the vast majority of tests."

"The reason for this speculation is that the snow seems to be falling a little heavier than usual."

Boyd's account was undoubtedly somewhat abstract; as he spoke, he even reached out his hand to receive the invisible chill.

"Is this the only gain so far?"

Fu Qian nodded, his expression unreadable as he asked.

"Hmm...that's right. Our original intention was to let the snow fall a little longer to see if this anomaly would become more obvious. As for Kai's traces, we still haven't found them..."

This time it was Rob who spoke. He seemed somewhat ashamed, but it was clear that he had cooperated quite well with the mentors, and they had even had in-depth exchanges on operational concepts.

"That's already very good. Let's go check on Akai's office next."

Surprisingly, Professor Fu suddenly changed his tone and gave high praise.

After expressing his liking for the idea, he glanced at another unfamiliar face rushing over and gestured to them that they didn't need to gather here to report and should go back to their business.

As he spoke, he reached into his robes and dripped a drop of blood onto the burial scroll.
