Chapter 2416 The Prophet is Dead (Part 22)

It has to be said that this was a huge blow.

The more confident the black doctor's tone, the more stiff Amber's face became.

As the first recorded high-level transcendent to step into the Gate of Freedom, his words still carry some weight.

The most direct conclusion that can be drawn from this is that Akasha has not entered since him.

Having lost the hope of pursuing freedom, Amber suddenly found even the hope of finding someone seemed bleak.

"You need to be logical. Could Akasha have arrived here even earlier? You've analyzed it yourself."

But the impact is not absolutely severe.

The next moment, the Great Fortune King spoke, offering a rare word of comfort, which was both reasonable and well-founded.

"Heh...outsider?"

Amber remained silent, while the black doctor seemed quite willing to communicate, looking at Fu Qian to confirm.

"Outsider".

Fu Qian was also sincere and nodded.

"No wonder, otherwise they should be in this pile of mud like us."

The quack doctor looked even happier, almost bouncing around.

However, they are not to be underestimated; their thinking is quite clear in just one sentence.

The issue of birthplace was actually mentioned earlier; because of my status as an outsider, I lacked the "true self" that came from the big pot.

Therefore, the first stop after entering is Yuan Fang's apartment.

In contrast, both the ram-headed demon and Crystal Lord's nascent soul "Amber" directly correspond to the "true self" in the cauldron.

If the unlicensed doctor really had been hiding here all along, it would have been easy for him to notice his own differences.

Furthermore, judging from the tone of his question, he still seemed somewhat unfamiliar with himself, suggesting that he may not have participated in the restaurant ambush back then.

The fact that he didn't participate in such an important event, which was personally organized by the prophet and involved the safety of the entire Hill of the Unseen, suggests that he was a troublemaker.

Coupled with the title of "black doctor," it's practically leaning infinitely towards the criminal camp.

"It looks pretty good, not damp at all."

However, considering that his own image wasn't great, Fu Qian didn't have any reservations about this. The next moment, he even looked around and emphasized that the place wasn't actually that bad.

"Heh...this kind of arrogance, standing on the shore and looking down from above."

He lived up to the evaluation he had just received; even his remarks sounded quite cultured.

One has to admit that the sarcasm is quite reasonable. No matter how empathetic one is, it's hard to rule out an element of performance when outsiders stand here discussing how dire the situation is.

"Yes, didn't you see that my hands are never even dusty? I always have people help me find them."

The only problem is that moral condemnation is something that Da Yun Ming Wang has always been immune to.

Without wasting a second trying to explain, Fu Qian directly admitted his sense of superiority, even pointing towards the amber.

……

"That's right, haha...that's right..."

The quack doctor paused for a moment, but then, as if a switch had been flipped, he began to sway back and forth with glee.

“Interesting. Now I don’t even need to ask why you came here... So, what do you want to know?”

He was also quite generous with the money he received for bringing him joy, knowing that chatting also came at a price. "So what do you think is the probability that Akasha came to this place before you?"

Although the issue before payment still seemed to surprise him at that moment.

"You actually care about this?"

Clearly not finding the other person to be a particularly humane character, the black doctor stared at that imposing face, seemingly trying to see through the mysterious outsider's heart.

"Unfortunately, the probability is almost zero, because I am quite certain that no one discovered that door before me."

However, this was clearly futile, and the black doctor quickly gave up and then answered Fu Qian's question directly.

"I see."

Fu Qian glanced at Amber; this blow had been powerful enough.

The question just now surprised not only the black doctor, but also the latter.

While puzzled, Amber was clearly focused on the problem and was hit hard again.

If the black doctor's statement is true, it means that the door was under his surveillance the whole time, and Akasha's disappearance can no longer be explained by this explanation.

"And what about the prophet?"

Unfortunately, the Great Fortune King seemed to be asking casually and didn't really care about the matter. He immediately changed the subject and smoothly glanced towards the shore.

"...I didn't see him come in either. He was already here when I arrived. Maybe he left the door open, or maybe he didn't even come in through the door."

The unlicensed doctor hesitated for a moment, but finally answered.

"It certainly cannot be ruled out—"

Fu Qian still agreed with his statement.

On one hand, Yuan Fang's behavior was already quite charlatan-like; on the other hand, don't forget that his current position is different from everyone else's—for example, he's not in the pot.

"We cannot even rule out the possibility that he is from out of town."

Before the quack doctor could say anything, Fu Qian delivered another explosive conclusion.

……

It was not meant to scare people; upon closer examination, there is no major logical problem.

The fact that Da Yun Ming Wang didn't wake up in the pot is proof that he was an outsider. Can you now confirm that Yuan Fang woke up in the pot?

Even if the prophet has given guidance over the long years, who can say that outsiders are definitely incapable of doing that?
We must break free from habitual thinking.

Not to mention from Fu Qian's perspective, there seems to be another compelling reason—if the prophet is the genius Yuan Shi who passed away, then wouldn't he have come from outside?
This is not the same thing as the innate will of the Unseen Hill.

"It seems you're quite certain that the story about the same name you just told him is true."

Without any prompting, the black-clad doctor seemed to have come up with a similar reason as well, and looked over at Yuan Fang's side, making no attempt to hide the fact that he had also been eavesdropping on the initial conversation.

"I'm not really that concerned about that. I'm more interested in why you're so sure that no one discovered that door before you?"

Unfortunately, before Fu Qian could express that great minds think alike, Amber, overwhelmed by the barrage of information, finally came to her senses and questioned the earlier content.

Not surprisingly, on the one hand, this statement is indeed somewhat vague, and on the other hand, the answer to this question is clearly very important regarding Akasha's whereabouts.

“It’s simple. I had been in that building for a long time before that and hadn’t noticed Akasha visiting the prophet. After hearing the prophet’s message, I rushed over immediately.”

The black doctor merely chuckled coldly at this, and even raised his eyebrows rather undignifiedly towards Amber.

"Who do you think wrote that line of text?"

First update, then revise.
