Chapter 2407 The Prophet is Dead

Chapter 2407 The Prophet is Dead (Thirteen)
They even included user instructions? Isn't that incredibly thoughtful?

The description of the crystal is so vivid that one can easily imagine the scene before making the payment.

Although this apparent naturalness masks an underlying unnaturalness upon closer examination.

The prophet is dead... Combined with the crystal's description, the information we received from the lord earlier has been completed.

The situation in room 802 was clearly a state of being caught between life and death, as some legend has it.

Although his old friend Yuan Fang made a radio broadcast before his "death," for a seasoned veteran like him, the fact that he disappeared without a trace inevitably raises suspicions.

But putting aside whether the person is actually dead or not, the somewhat abstract nature of the instructions seems a bit out of place with Yuan Fang's style.

Although his appearance was rather ordinary, after several interactions, he seemed to be a reliable person.

If, as his last words suggested, Yuan Fang believed that a new era had arrived, the dark days of the Unseen Hill were over, and that he was even responsible for that strange door, then the clues should be much more detailed.

It's not that there's a lack of trust between people. A little thought will tell you what that door and that sentence meant to the lost sheep who had lost their prophet.

Believe it or not?

If you believe, freedom is right in front of you. The outside world is wonderful. You can leave the cage with just one step. What are you waiting for?
There are also many reasons for disbelief. The indigenous people clearly know Yuan Fang better than they do, so it's perfectly normal for them to worry that there's something fishy going on—but what can you do if you worry?
As long as the door is there, the itch in your heart will never disappear. Even if you find a thousand reasons to prove that it is a trap, you will inevitably suffer inner torment.

Even wanting to destroy that thing to avoid this torment is difficult, because someone will definitely stop you.

Even if they suspect it's some kind of trap, the anxious onlookers will only allow you to risk your life to explore the path, not let you ruin it.

In conclusion, it was almost ruthless; a single sentence dragged Weijianzhiqiu into the abyss of game theory.

"Was Yuan Fang's dying wish left for everyone?"

With a sigh in his heart, he casually asked Crystal for confirmation before paying.

There may be a lot of demigods in this place, but not to the point of affecting population density.

Crystal mentioned that many places are deserted because too many people go on pilgrimages, and the majority of those pilgrims are ordinary people.

"It seems so at the moment."

Crystal nodded somewhat heavily.

"So did you hear that?"

Fu Qian's reaction was to glance at Catherine and invite her to join the conversation.

……

Ah...me?

In their only previous encounter, Catherine's behavior was not exactly that of a kind and virtuous person.

I still remember that after being touched, I slapped someone in the face in public without any hesitation, and then I transformed and swallowed people on the spot.

However, at this moment, despite being given the nickname "ordinary and vulgar," she looked quite calm, and seemed almost flattered after being called out.

Admittedly, the pressure from the two demigods was considerable, and no one dared to act recklessly, but the dramatic contrast before and after suggests that their state at the time was somewhat unstable.

Before payment, there was no rush; he simply remarked that it truly was a new era, and everyone's mental outlook had improved.

"I'm sorry, sir... I really don't have that concept. It's probably because I've been acting on instinct rather than with a clear mind."

After careful consideration, Catherine shook her head cautiously, her words humble.

“She wasn’t lying. When the prophet left her last words, she probably hadn’t been reborn yet.”

Crystal, standing nearby, chimed in, supporting Catherine's answer.

"And what about Akasha?"

He nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“That’s why I’m telling you so much here. I’m also very interested in what you want to verify… Akasha’s disappearance and the prophet’s last words happened almost simultaneously.” Crystal was quite frank, casually pointing out the oddities and expressing her equally interest in whether the prophet was really dead.

"So that's how it is... So everyone who has entered that door so far has never returned?"

If you say that Crystal was simply overjoyed to be reunited with an old friend, which is why she's been rambling on with me for so long, I wouldn't have believed it anyway.

It's simply a matter of everyone exploring and utilizing each other's value, and now the other party has even brought this point up directly, greatly improving the efficiency of communication, which undoubtedly makes him very satisfied.

With the help of the crystal demigod, the timeline gradually became clearer, and Fu Qian also focused his attention on the key issues.

"how do you know?"

This time, the former was genuinely surprised.

……

"It's very simple. First of all, someone must have already gone in. The only explanation I can think of is that they went in and never came back, and there's no feedback coming out."

The unfathomable power of the Great Fortune King continued to rise, and even the crystal seemed to have some doubts at that moment. However, Fu Qian immediately gave a purely logical reason.

"Why does it have to be someone who went in? Don't you also find it suspicious?"

Crystal, however, seemed unwilling to buy into it easily.

"Anyone would be suspicious, but even if you don't go in yourself, you can still embarrass yourself by going in and see the reaction. That's basic procedure, right? — Haven't you ever done that before?"

Fu Qian looked over with a half-smile.

"No... but I witnessed it; more than one person was thrown in."

"It was exactly as you described. No one came back. There was no fall, no screams, not even blood. The people thrown in just vanished—"

After a moment of silence, it seemed that Crystal had indeed been right.

"Just like when outsiders leave this place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qian followed up with a summary.

"Yes, although the fog around the city doesn't seem to be working yet—wasn't there anything unusual about your entry process?"

He readily admitted to what Fu Qian had said, and at one point Crystal directly steered the conversation toward him, seemingly having been holding back a question for a long time.

"Unfortunately, I used the green channel."

Fu Qian sighed, indicating that people are different from one another.

"Let's go."

Before Crystal could even feel disappointed, he had already stood up.

you……

It was abrupt, but it had an inexplicable appeal; for a moment, the audience almost couldn't maintain their posture.

"Go and take a look at that door."

Before anyone could even ask a question, Fu Qian was already continuing to explain.

"...Are you really going in?"

The crystal looked somewhat unbelievable.

"No one is more suitable than me, is he?"

As he spoke, Fu Qian had already put his mask back on, covering his somewhat eerie smiling face.
