Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2472 The Chaser

Don't reach out, or you'll get caught.

At that moment, a classic slogan seemed to come to mind for Fu Qian.

Even with his movements being so skillful, he didn't make a single sound in the darkness.

Even the force of this punishment was extraordinary.

If you're hitchhiking, try not to scare people.

Based on this principle, Fu Qian has put a lot of effort into managing his personal image at this moment.

In addition to creating an extra face, the character's rank was also compressed using the recently popular data compression technique.

The final result is that he is now a genuine mid-level extraordinary being.

Faced with this sudden restriction, my arm felt incredibly heavy, and even moving my little finger required considerable effort.

Even as this suppression intensified, the person behind it all still hadn't shown up.

Fortunately, his eyeballs can still move.

Faced with the irresistible invitation to stay, Fu Qian resolutely chose to continue experiencing the feeling of youth, gazing at the surging waves outside the window.

This time, he even exudes a stronger sense of youthfulness.

This ship, which appeared to be making its way back, had actually abandoned its stabilizing techniques and was now letting the wind and waves pound against it.

In the blink of an eye, the power of the ocean completely entered this space, and everything was thrown into turbulence.

Not bad.

My first thought before paying was that I had chosen a spot on my plate out of good habit, so as not to waste food.

While extraordinary powers are desirable, they should not be relied upon excessively.

Although the ship was as stable as an iron chain under the protection of that force, he still placed the food in a place where it would not easily tip over.

That crumpled, candied fruit was still on the ground.

The same applies to people; even if they have difficulty moving, they can still stand steadily.

However, one thing is one thing; this doesn't involve foresight, but rather that someone helped achieve it.

The force suppressing movement seemed unwilling to let the person fall to the ground and make a fuss. At that moment, it was as if there were cables in the darkness, firmly holding the person in place.

……

They really did come back.

Despite the crashing waves, everything felt strangely peaceful.

Furthermore, despite the fact that the fare evaders were being restrained, no one ever came to arrest them.

Before the final payment, it appeared in such a special way that the outline of the port was quickly spotted in the storm.

They were not far away, and what enveloped them was a vast expanse of wind and rain, no less magnificent than that at sea.

It's no wonder everyone was so calm; having seen so many scenes like this, it's easy to deeply feel the insignificance of human power.

The torrential rain was like a vertical torrent, relentlessly washing over every corner, making it seem impossible for even a speck of dust to remain.

As the city closest to the Ash Sea, it suddenly evoked a strange sense of contrast.

At that moment, Fu Qian felt a surge of emotion, watching helplessly as the distance drew closer and closer—oh?

However, at that very moment, the strange behavior caused another upheaval.

The ship, which was about to return to port, showed no intention of anchoring and instead began to turn around again.

……

What? His youthful charm is still growing?
Even the well-informed Professor Fu couldn't help but admire the spirited young man he displayed at that moment.

You read that right. In the blink of an eye, the ship was bouncing back and forth, once again veering away from the dock, just like a donkey frolicking in the rain.

In these turbulent times, why would a demigod be doing this?
If that's the case, Fu Qian suggested that Siren should organize a visit for Yasui's people; it might cause quite a psychological shock.

In any case, there was clearly a deeper meaning behind this move, making one increasingly interested in exploring it—unfortunately, it seemed that he had reached his destination. Just as the boat completed its turn, Fu Qian realized that his body was moving, and he didn't need to control it at all.

The suffocating blackness was climbing all the way up until it covered the whole person.

The next moment, Fu Qian felt himself and that black mass melt into the shadow of the ship, and even fall downwards.

He had no reason to resist this, but he could only take one more look at the dried fruit that he had never been able to eat, and sighed inwardly.

……

It really does go through walls; that's a really convenient trick.

Soon, Fu Qian found himself completely enveloped in icy seawater.

Meanwhile, the ship bearing the Siren's insignia was rapidly pulling away in the wind and rain.

Without causing any damage, it somehow leaked all the way down the ship like butter that couldn't be contained.

It can only be described as an amazing method.

Of course, even more amazing things are yet to come, such as bats swimming in the water.

Fu Qian watched helplessly as one after another of those strange creatures rode the waves, pulling at the shadows on his body as they headed straight for the shore.

Wow!

The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was barely noticeable as the water surged out of the water.

On the contrary, the shattering of the shadows on his body brought some invisible impact.

Fu Qian believed that if such a thing happened on a ship, it would be relatively easy for a demigod to notice it.

"Don't try to make any noise, trust me they won't hear you."

Just as he was pondering the risks of exposure, a bat next to him spoke.

His pronunciation was clear and articulate, and he showed a strong desire to communicate.

The meaning is quite simple: considering the preceding actions, this is clearly not about throwing oneself overboard and demanding payment, but rather an act of kidnapping.

Take control of yourself immediately and don't give yourself a chance to send out a distress signal.

Then, as the ship approached the shore, they used the same method to bring the person off the ship, and only revealed themselves at this point, demonstrating both decisiveness and caution.

The question now is, what is the purpose of this decisiveness and caution?
“You hid very well. If I hadn’t taken another look after the ship set sail, you might have really escaped.”

It turns out that there was no need to ask questions beforehand; the other party had already taken the initiative to answer, and their intentions seemed extremely clear.

"Do you remember this logo?"

There wasn't even a chance to appeal before payment. With another sound, several bats flew through the air, outlining a not-too-complex pattern—

The rough palm shape symbolizes the lines of the fingers extending at a particular angle, with one of them bulging in the middle to form an oval nodule.

this……

"remember."

At that moment, Fu Qian finally spoke up and acknowledged what the other party had said.

How could I not remember? That was my mark, the symbol of the King of Abandoned Prisons.

……

Lady Serana is indeed persistent; she actually tracked us all the way here.

That's right... shadows, bats, apprehending suspicious individuals.

When these attributes appeared, Fu Qian immediately thought of his old friend.

The appearance of the King of Abandoned Prisons' symbol at this moment further clarified the current situation—it seemed that he had been captured as a greedy insect.

Although it's unclear what information Serana used to find this place, it seems like those who do many evil deeds will eventually perish.
