Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2470 Invitation to a Couple

The Siren Group must have been feeling quite tense lately.

With a book in hand, at that moment, what came to mind before putting it down was the state of the world.

As is well known, the conflict between the Sirens and Yasui is still raging.

This even spurred the emergence of speculators and opportunists; I personally know at least two such groups.

Even without Yasui Tokiyuki, the Yasui Group is still a powerful and well-organized group, making it difficult to determine a winner in the short term. This should have caused the Sirens considerable trouble.

For example, the underwater prison from last time.

The death of a group of prisoners is one thing, but some of the things involved are clearly very sensitive.

Not only is there Scarlet Fever associated with the tyrant, but the entire prison is also a bit off during the process.

According to the mission summary, the Night Watchers were clearly involved in the final cleanup.

Although they only took away the victims and did not pursue any further accountability, it's questionable whether the Sirens will dare to continue using that maritime stronghold.

As the situation becomes increasingly tense and an organization fails to gain sufficient benefits, it is difficult for it to simply stop. It is easy to imagine what will happen next—becoming the eye of the storm and dragging more and more people into it.

This kind of thing is really nothing new.

Among them, the Rebirth Club, a newly emerging organization, and its undisputed leader, Old Master Lu, will inevitably be taken into consideration.

Although their motives are unclear and their behavior is difficult to control, let's not forget that the Ji family is well aware of the conflict between the Rebirth Club and the Anjing Group.

It has already been proven that the Ji family is providing intelligence to the Sirens, so they are likely confident about this matter.

The enemy of my enemy—what a wonderful attribute.

Generally speaking, as long as you introduce this muddy water, it won't do you any harm.

Ultimately, it was only natural for Kelsen, as one of the Sirens' high-ranking officials, to attempt to make contact.

Is this information... a little too rudimentary?

Moore almost certainly refers to the city closest to the Ash Sea.

But without any explanation or clarification of his intentions, Kelson's attitude always seemed somewhat ambiguous.

In any case, it seems to indicate that the place is likely to be lively.

As for why Sunny didn't notice such obvious traces?

Keep in mind that we've met three times in a row recently, and each time I've put a lot of pressure on him.

If something so strange were to happen, then Sunny would most likely not be able to keep it a secret until now—

It's quite simple; Sunny may have actually looked at the book, but she might have simply chosen not to.

……

If this message really wanted to be kept secret, then it should obviously have been left in a more secret place.

For example, it should be at least a book that you don't read often.

The only book that bears the mark of reading, the very first page after it's been opened, practically screams "I'm showing this to you!"

But Sunny genuinely seemed unaware of this, which suddenly made things seem contradictory, leading her to doubt whether the message was actually meant for her.

But there's always the fear of ulterior motives.

Professor Fu had been looking forward to something like this for a long time. To exaggerate a bit, he even helped Lord Kelson brainstorm the specifics of how to proceed. So how could he be misled by such superficial appearances?

Sunny has a very special identity—a puppet without personal consciousness. In Kelson's eyes, she is himself, so the message he left for Sunny is the same as the message he left for Grandpa Lu, and there is absolutely no need to keep it a secret from her.

The problem is that Sunny is not a puppet, meaning there is a discrepancy between reality and Kelson's imagination.

So much so that if the message were to be delivered to a demigod, Sunny might lack the ability to read.

To put it bluntly, the ink stains in front of us are probably some kind of secret marking technique that those of lower rank wouldn't be able to see.

Or it may only be activated when someone of a sufficient rank approaches.

Theoretically, the latter might be more reasonable, since one's current perception is zero.

In short, Kelson thought he had left himself a hidden and reliable piece of information, hoping someone would take the bait, but little did he know that Sunny had no idea about it at all.

It wasn't until I committed this illegal intrusion myself that I personally browsed through it.

It's not a bad thing, otherwise, if the already cautious Sunny saw something like this, she would most likely have run away, and wouldn't have been able to get the information she had before.

As for now... all I can say is that Lord Kelsen's kind invitation was not in vain.

Fu Qian expressed genuine interest and chose the same scientific expedition route as last time.

It should be about ten more minutes.

After glancing at the time, Fu Qian restored the book and other items to their original state and then removed the mask.

The last scientific expedition route started right from the territory of the chief.

……

It was not yet midnight, and the warehouse was quiet; the second assignment of the week had not yet arrived.

While waiting for the bloodstains on his mask to heal, Fu Qian even took the opportunity to tidy up his equipment.

It wouldn't have mattered in the first place, but since it was Mr. Lu who was invited, we had to consider the image of ourselves and the organization.

Moore... that place is still somewhat remote, yet it has the magic to make Kelson invite him there for a chat. The contrast makes the anticipation even greater.

Could it be related to the Ash Sea? Do the Sirens have some strange ideas or actions?
As the dominant maritime power, it certainly has the most right to do so.

It can only be said that it's not a bad thing for me no matter what; the more exciting the investigation and the like, the better.

It's hard to say what role Lord Kelsen envisions the Rebirth Club playing.

Full of beautiful dreams for the future, Fu Qian casually put on a mask.

Oh?
The messenger's mask, now restored to a certain degree of bloodstains, was precisely located on the second floor of the bookstore, indicating that a business tycoon had returned to the capital.

It's even earlier here, and it's still quite lively outside.

As he walked downstairs, Fu Qian quickly noticed a snow-white envelope on the ground, illuminated by the lights.

……

Does this feel so familiar? Last time, a letter was left here before I left too.

Judging from the size and style, it's almost certain that it was left by Yuan Shan, and Fu Qian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

So is minimalism the current trend?
When he picked up the envelope and opened it, his complaints reached their peak.

Last time at least they wrote "Thursday" to schedule a time, but this time it's completely blank?
Feeling deeply that people's hearts have changed, he casually put the letter into the bookshelf before setting off on his journey to continue his scientific expedition.

There's no need to write anything in the first place. These days, when Yuan Shan leaves these kinds of letters, it can almost always be interpreted as "Come to my territory for a chat."

Considering that there was no appointment or urging above, Fu Qian expressed that he understood Yuan Shan's meaning and that there should be no problem—come over for a chat when you are free, things are not urgent but you can know.
