Chapter 2453 The Prophet is Dead (Fifty-Nine)

That's certainly interesting; it adds another dimension to the complexity of the situation.

The scene created by the clown was undoubtedly full of malice.

The relationship between the two wills, crystal and amber, or rather, two backups of the same will, is not hard to see.

However, it still requires a certain level of insight to develop them into excellent betting material.

Moreover, the Joker went a step further by introducing the problematic character of Akasha.

She is both Crystal's "friend" and the Spider Queen who possesses her friend's will; their relationship has always been quite delicate.

I still remember that last time I just casually mentioned something, and Lord Crystal almost took action.

The same applies to this incident; faced with the temptation of "freedom," one side was willing to risk confirming Akasha's disappearance first.

On the other hand, Mingming joined the mastermind's team and was rapidly improving with a promising future, but he left behind an egg with an unclear meaning on his former friend.

Akasha's attitude toward crystals seems equally subtle.

The problem with self-awareness is an old one.

Whether it was Akasha or the Silk Queen, her answer wasn't very firm when I asked her last time.

Introducing such a character into the confrontation between crystal and amber is truly a brilliant idea.

Now, in this extremely complicated situation, he needs to guess who Akasha will help, rather than who will win.

"That's a good idea indeed. Speaking of which, was Akasha one of the people you brought into the team?"

Before the conversation began, no one hesitated to offer praise, and as the dialogue continued, the level of malice in the air seemed to be soaring, with no one caring about academic ethics.

"No, I only made a brief introduction. In the end, it was Awei who made the decision... If you do everything yourself, there's much less fun, isn't there?"

When asked about the problems ahead, the Joker shook his head, indicating that he adopted a laissez-faire approach.

"Indeed, then I have to wonder, what makes Akasha so special? Because it's clear that your team has very high standards."

As the mastermind behind many incidents, Fu Qian deeply agreed and also inquired about why Akasha was chosen.

"That's a good question indeed. To be honest, her abilities aren't anything special, her combat strength is mediocre, and she's not particularly bright. In fact, because she was concerned about someone's safety, she deliberately left a loophole that could be investigated..."

The clown seemed to have hit a nerve, and immediately began listing Akasha's shortcomings.

"And aren't you also worried about your own safety?"

As the one asking the question, Fu Qian wholeheartedly agreed, but still added an extra comment on some minor details.

According to the Joker's explanation, this can be said to partially explain the problem of the egg on Crystal's body.

In other words, after Akasha came into contact with this mysterious organization and realized the great changes that were about to happen, she left some traces on her old friends as guidance or protection.

But apart from that, he didn't leave himself a way out, in case the plan failed or he was deceived, so that he could be reborn from the crystal.
Just like the dilemma inside the box, the strange design of the Silk Queen determines the complexity of decision-making.

"That's right, that's right... Hehe, she's a very complicated character."

Even when questioned, the Joker showed no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, he repeatedly agreed, his interest growing stronger with each question.

"So the reason Akasha was chosen is?"

If the person involved heard this series of sharp comments, they would probably be furious on the spot.

But Fu Qian was too lazy to empathize; instead, he focused on why she was still able to pass two rounds of interviews despite so many negative factors.

"You really don't know? The reason Awei allowed her to join is because Akasha has another identity, namely, one of the demigods who once had close contact with you."

The clown blinked, seemingly thinking that Fu Qian was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

“It’s easy to guess what’s going on with Awei, but what I want to know is why you made the recommendation.”

His words showed no respect for the Angel of Death, and he continued to stare at the clown's face.

Ah Wei's intentions were already evident when he sent Akasha to contact him earlier, which is also in line with his personal style, so it's easy to guess.

“Because it wasn’t me, it was this place that wanted her to join, and I felt that will.”

As expected, the Joker remained silent for a moment, and then gave an answer that left much to the imagination.

……

Is Ji Feng trying to get Akasha to join the behind-the-scenes team? Is it not just that she's incredibly crazy, but also that she has such strong initiative?
The clown's generous sharing undoubtedly added another layer of mystery to the incident.

The unremarkable Akasha actually received divine approval? Even her interview required the intervention of the master of the Hill of the Unseen?
The problem is that, so far, she hasn't seen any additional benefits from this matter; on the contrary, she's encountered a lot of trouble.

"You guys handle your own problems. I only care about how to get out of here."

She even seemed somewhat repulsed; facing the strangely behaving Crystal and Amber, Akasha expressed that she had no interest in their affairs.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Everyone else is asleep or has lost their will to do anything, except us."

However, Crystal, as always, contradicted her and immediately made sarcastic remarks.

"Is it possible that we just happened to end up here? Under some unknown protection? If we go out, we'll end up like those people outside—of course, you probably won't."

It has to be said that Crystal's statement actually makes perfect sense.

If they hadn't been chosen to be crickets, they would have ended up in the same situation.

In the end, she seemed to recall Akasha's earlier actions, realizing that the latter's role in the incident might be unusual.

Although she did not ask for more details.

"Is it possible that it wasn't just a coincidence? That we just happened to come together like this... and that we just happened to be in a safe zone that would protect us from the impact? I think the probability of that is too low."

Before Akasha could say anything, Amber, who was relatively silent, expressed some disagreement.

“That Ballard makes me very uneasy. I can’t be sure if he’s benevolent or malevolent, but I always have a feeling that I’m being watched in the dark.”

Even the returning comrades-in-arms were mentioned.

Although the reviews weren't entirely positive, there were actually some lucky breaks.

"Green Ballard" is indeed spying in the shadows right now.

……

"You mean there's an element of his tacit influence? Then Her Majesty the Queen should know something, right? Instead of being as clueless as we are."

Amber's words caused a moment of silence, and when Crystal spoke again, it was clear that she had not lost her logical ability and remembered the strange conversation between Akasha and Fu Qian.

Why do you think that mere coincidence cannot achieve this?

Seeing that Akasha's expression was somewhat indescribable, Crystal didn't press the matter further, but simply turned to stare at Amber again.

"It's not that I can't do it—but I have always been avoiding everyone."

The latter, however, remained steadfast, his voice calm.

……

"Have you made up your mind? You can choose first."

Seeing that the three people under his nose had quickly gotten into character, the clown looked satisfied and gave them a reminder.

Very generous.

Fu Qian nodded slightly. In this kind of betting game, the first player to choose has a considerable advantage.

"But you can cheat, right? You can manipulate the final result at will."

Although the next moment he opened his mouth and asked a surprising question.

Yes, I can.

The clown's answer was even more surprising.

So, do you cheat?

"of course."

……

"good."

Faced with the clown's matter-of-fact answer, Fu Qian sighed in admiration and truly made the choice first.

"Then I'll choose amber."
