Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2473: Trapped in a cocoon
The waves crashed against my face.

The sudden appearance of someone resembling Lady Serana clearly indicated that she had no intention of treating prisoners well.

The interrogation had already begun while the person in question was still in the water.

Although he didn't complain about it, after all, it seemed like he had been hit by the boomerang of fate.

How Serana got here is unknown, but why she's here should be pretty much a given.

At that time, he cleverly used a treacherous scheme in the capital to make this demigod both a role model for the greedy insects and a belief that those people had ulterior motives, thus providing them with the hardship and trials of being hunted down everywhere.

Not much time has passed, and it's clear that there have been some results.

Although the result was subtle—catching greedy insects on a Siren's ship?
It feels like there were more than one jump in the process.

Although the last time we observed the movements of the Greedy Insects, we were able to confirm that they had indeed become involved in the conflict between two large organizations. Their core objective was to exchange intelligence and find the Enlightened Demigoddess as soon as possible.

But if I remember correctly, their positions are reversed; they are employed by Yasui to cause trouble for the Sirens.

Because of this action, she unfortunately ran into some troublemaking cast members, and ended up being poisoned by the tumor flower, almost not surviving.

Even if Serana investigates the relevant matters and knows that they are more active in the conflict between the two organizations, shouldn't she go to Yasui's ship to look for people?

Not to mention going to such a remote place as Moore.

"Very good, you can live a little longer."

While Fu Qian was marveling at the wonders of the world, his honest response seemed to have an effect.

The figure behind the bat let out a cold laugh, sounding as if it had just escaped with its life.

Even before he finished speaking, the shadows had already enveloped him again, obscuring his eyes.

……

"I'll ask you questions, and you answer them without asking why, understand?"

Not long after, before his vision had even fully recovered, Fu Qian felt the warmth around him.

The wind and rain were still there, but they were kept outside; you could hear loud banging on the windows.

The only downside was that the outfit I had painstakingly put together was still soaked through.

"clear."

As for the voice that rang in his ears, to be honest, it didn't sound like Lady Serana at all, but Fu Qian still didn't mind playing along.

It's not surprising. In such a sensitive period, regardless of whether one is eager to catch the culprit, the involvement of a demigod carries a great deal of significance.

As long as she has even a slight sense of family, Serana will definitely try to disguise her identity.

You could already tell how low-key they were when they were on the boat.

"If you don't mind, how about showing me your true colors?"

The interrogator seemed somewhat satisfied with Fu Qian's continued cooperation, and the obstruction of his vision was removed the next moment.

A figure completely shrouded in shadow stood there, gesturing for Fu Qian to remove his cover as well.

"Okay."

Before giving the gift, he cooperated and casually removed the temporary pose he had created, revealing the pose he had created earlier.

……

While the interrogator remained silent, Fu Qian did not waste any time, but casually observed his surroundings.

It has to be said that it's pretty much as I imagined.

As a classic port city, even an ordinary house can still exude a unique style.

Even the windows mentioned earlier have been specially reinforced, clearly to cope with unpredictable weather.

The musty smell wasn't too strong, the space was quite large, and the layout and furnishings were rather tasteful.

Although it seemed she had come from afar on a secret mission, Lady Serana still had certain requirements regarding her accommodations. "...Who are you?"

Although I probably don't care about that right now, the new look shown in front of me is clearly quite shocking.

You can call me Laurie.

Fu Qian responded calmly, displaying the demeanor of a great general.

In fact, the name that was given was indeed that of the person in charge of the greedy gang.

"I thought your name was Gene... Where is he now?"

It's hard to say how much Serana believed in the name, but at least she didn't fly into a rage and resort to torture; instead, she took the initiative to give another name.

……

So they really came to track down that guy; it's a two-way street.

As he became more certain of the other party's identity, he was extremely satisfied at that moment.

Gene is the guy whose tumor flower bloomed on his body; he's also one of the more aggressive and greedy worms.

Therefore, the risk of being targeted by Serana is indeed one of the greatest.

As the most senior member of the group, Laurie, with his ethereal and otherworldly demeanor, likely possesses a more sophisticated philosophy of survival, and Serana may not even know what he looks like.

If you introduce yourself as someone from another family, it's highly likely to trigger an unfriendly situation and make it difficult to maintain a harmonious communication atmosphere.

This is a victory for logic.

Of course, there was another key reason, which was that he seemed to recognize those two names among that group of people.

You can't exactly call yourself a hermit of teeth and throat, can you?

Furthermore, I feel that Lady Serana is very confident, especially since Gene is on the Sirens' ship.

"I don't know, I'm looking for him too."

Quietly summarize what you've learned, and before paying, don't forget to share and continue answering questions.

"You're talking nonsense..."

Unfortunately, being a prisoner is not easy. The interrogator's tone turned cold in an instant, and even his back suddenly felt icy cold, as if his spine was being cut open and exposed.

……

It is indeed being aired out.

As a flesh-and-blood type character, Fu Qian has a fairly accurate grasp of his physical condition.

It was easy to confirm that it wasn't an illusion; at that moment, it really felt like a sharp blade was slicing through my muscles from behind.

The strange sensation was created because the blood and pain were simultaneously blocked.

It must be said that as a method of torture, it still has some underlying motives.

It's normal for superhumans to fight and kill; ordinary pain and the like don't really pose much of a threat.

On the contrary, by directly eliminating this point, people can focus their attention more on the key points and feel their own vulnerability.

"After leaving Beijing, given the sensitive situation, all communication between people has been temporarily suspended."

Even though Serana didn't give a reason, Fu Qian still understood quite well why she made the judgment that it was "nonsense".

As a demigod backed by Gulad, he should still be able to grasp some of the target's core characteristics.

If perception can be shared, then the claim that one is also searching for "genes" is clearly untenable and appears to be a lie.

Unfortunately, what Lady Serana didn't know was that the actor in front of her had already done considerable research on the Greedy Insects, and his statements were always well-founded and logical.

For example, the reason Gene was able to push forward that radical idea was because of the severing of perception sharing; otherwise, it would most likely have been blocked by the organization.
