Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2403 The Prophet is Dead (Part 9)

An interesting tactic, yet utterly powerless against its natural enemy.

Of course, it wasn't Fu Qian who did it, although he didn't offer any help either.

The unexpected happened in less than a breath, and Fu Qian simply sat there quietly observing the changes.

Even while still turning around, Catherine's entire body gave the impression of prey firmly entangled by invisible threads.

Even the surface of their bodies was indeed showing an unusual sheen.

It felt as if a greedy devourer would crawl out at any moment and swallow her whole, just like she had done before.

It seems there really is.

Fu Qian remained silent, then shifted his gaze to the shadows in a corner.

At first glance, it appears to be empty, but from a hunter's perspective, Fu Qian believes it is an excellent ambush spot.

Hiss!
Even though the movement wasn't very obvious, it still elicited a reaction.

At that very moment, something expanded out of the darkness.

Is this... the internet?
Catherine had already lost her ability to move, so Fu Qian naturally knew that this renewed attack was aimed at him.

Even in this situation, he still didn't react, but just quietly looked at what was unfolding in front of him.

Unlike the previous attack, this time a real lump was thrown out.

However, the grayish-white mass appeared to be almost weightless, and it quickly expanded the moment it appeared, indiscriminately covering the entire area in front of it.

It really does look like a web, and even its octagonal shape and radiating main threads easily remind one of an animal called a spider.

Even though it seemed to exist in another dimension and hadn't actually touched anything, Fu Qian still felt a certain stickiness, and his movements were somewhat hindered.

As for Catherine, she was in even worse shape. Her already stiff body seemed to lose its weight under the shroud and began to move with some strange rhythm.

“I know it’s more convenient to eat this way, but she might be a little shy.”

In this situation, he casually pointed at Catherine and finally broke the silence by speaking.

……

Spider webs, prey—something so evocative that it easily brings to mind old friends.

In a fictionalized history, Akasha, the Spider Queen, even received a keepsake as a gift from someone.

As is widely known, the waitress Catherine's most distinctive identity is that of a blood slave kept by Akasha to suck blood.

“You seem a little shy too. Don’t worry, I prefer the food at this restaurant to the staff.”

After a short wait without receiving a response, Fu Qian added another sentence, emphasizing that there was no need to worry about the risk of having food snatched away.

As for the claim that she was shy, that's perfectly reasonable; the Akasha I remember wasn't this low-key.

At that time, not only did they exchange tokens, but they even got themselves covered in white fluid during their first meeting.

When faced with the invitation, they actually started playing hide-and-seek.

Yes, this is an invitation.

It's perfectly normal to treat an old friend to a meal after not seeing each other for many days, right?

Given Catherine's previous behavior, anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't expect her to reveal much valuable information.

As for the reason why they let the lord go and brought her here, the content of their conversation just now was merely incidental.

Catherine is the Silk Queen's blood slave, and that has always been the most important thing.

As demonstrated in the mission, Akasha appears to be able to sense movement from these free-range animals.

The reason she attacked him was because Catherine had rushed over after losing control, stumbling upon him and Ballard in their standoff. As for the reborn Catherine, although he wasn't sure if her senses were still there, it seemed worth a try, so he extended an invitation with this delicious treat.

It's important to know that Akasha is clearly a rather special character in Unseen Hill.

Although she clearly identifies herself as an evil, bloodthirsty supervillain.

However, his relationship with Ballard or the Prophet is clearly quite close, and he might even be summoned to carry out missions.

If one wants to make contact with the righteous faction, or even confirm the prophet's situation, then going through her is clearly an option worth considering.

It was with this idea in mind that a series of actions followed.

Things seemed to be going smoothly, and the old friend did indeed come as summoned, though he was a little overly cautious.

Wow...

There was actually no sound at that moment; it was just the shaking of the "spider web" that made people automatically imagine some sound effects.

At first glance, it seemed as if a figure, following the movement, passed through it and disappeared into another shadow.

The stickiness is also stronger.

Fu Qian looked down at his hands, which had begun to show a similar unusual glow to Catherine's.

"Do you feel a little embarrassed if someone is watching you while you eat?"

It was almost an obvious act of aggression, yet he remained unconcerned, even seemingly understanding something.

"I have indeed heard of such a thing. I'll head out now, you can do as you please."

It wasn't just talk; the next moment, Fu Qian stood up and walked straight outside.

click!
Although they only took one step before stopping, they saw one sharp spike after another appearing in the direction they were heading, blocking their way.

"These thorns are a little cold."

Of course he wouldn't get stabbed. At that moment, Fu Qian stared at the weapon at his feet and muttered to himself.

"You're not allowed to go anywhere... neither of you."

These words seemed to have flipped a switch, and the next moment a cold voice spoke.

……

Compared to Akasha, she lacks far too much passion.

At that moment, Fu Qian turned around and looked at the spot where he had just been sitting.

Catherine remained standing to one side, but the empty chair next to her now had a "person" in it.

At least based on the pre-payment standard, I think this classification is acceptable.

She was far less voluptuous than Akasha, and could even be described as somewhat slender.

Beneath her long, light blue hair was a face that didn't quite resemble a human.

To be fair, it's not ugly, but the fact that there's more than one sharp tooth showing under the lip immediately reminds one of a certain righteous person with a not-so-good temper—I think his name is Crystal?
Fu Qian recalled a figure that had once frozen him into an ice block, and relying on his cross-species aesthetic sense, he quickly connected the face in front of him with the ice wolf shrouded in white mist.

I knew it! Why was Akasha so hesitant to even show her face?

"welcome."

Although covered by a mask, Fu Qian still showed a smile of reunion at that moment and responded to the call of the Crystal Demigod to sit back down.

The person is wrong? The person is absolutely right.

Akasha was merely a figure of both good and evil, but the one before her was righteous to the point of being wicked.
