Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2475 Full Story
Of course, it was the King of Abandoned Prison who told him.

This rhetorical question, though already known, should hopefully help Lady Serana successfully recount her entire emotional journey from the capital to Moore.

After all, although the tone of Fu Qian's rhetorical question was calm, one could still sense the disbelief in him.

"You seem to have forgotten my reminder... all you need to do is answer the questions."

Sure enough, the next moment, amidst a cold laugh, Lady Serana clearly remembered the previous events and gave a warning without any politeness.

"clear."

There were no objections before payment, although there wasn't much fear to be seen.

"Who do you think told me?"

Serana continued her questioning, having not mentioned the past events in the capital.

“This is what I find hard to believe… Theoretically, even Gene shouldn’t know this name.”

Fu Qian was naturally pleased with this and took a deep breath.

Serana did this because she realized things were not simple and was not in a hurry to reveal her identity, so she deliberately created mystery to extract more information.

But there's no need to dwell on the past events in Beijing; it's a development that I'm happy to see, as it saves a lot of time.

"Aren't there other people?"

Serana's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Same with everyone else."

Before paying, he casually revealed some astonishing secrets.

"To be precise, I may be the only one who knows this secret. To Gene and his people, 'He' has always been known as the King of the Abandoned Prison."

……

With enough effort, even the truth can be a lie.

Serana didn't rush to respond at that moment, but Fu Qian believed that one of the questions swirling in her mind must be how the mysterious bookstore owner knew about it.

"Why does this sound even more illogical? If it's such a secret, why didn't you just ask me directly about it?"

However, it wasn't so easy to deal with. After some thought, Serana first raised a contradiction that seemed even more difficult to explain.

"Because I want to know if you know."

Unfortunately, difficulty is relative, and Fu Qian didn't even pause before giving a direct answer.

……

For "Serana", the words were a bit convoluted.

"You are a demigod? Please don't worry, we didn't know you were coming."

As she fell silent again, the "prisoner" stared intently at her, trying to observe her reaction.

"It was merely that, after realizing I was powerless to retaliate, I wanted to ascertain your possible objectives and demonstrate my value."

"As it turns out, it's not that simple. I believe we have every possibility of cooperating."

The reasons are, frankly, somewhat weak, but they should be sufficient before payment.

"Oh? What kind of collaboration?"

As expected, the new keyword that was finally proposed immediately caught Serana's interest, and she no longer mentioned the past conflict in the capital.

"Stop Gene."

"Laurie" sounded like he had already thought it through and gave an answer immediately once again.

“As long as your goal is not to kill us all, then I think this is the first thing to do.”

"Moore is too dangerous. I have a feeling something is going to happen, and it's not something small fry like us can get involved in."

Heh... "I'm sorry, that's your business. Perhaps you should have stopped him before he arrived."

Unfortunately, after listening quietly, the person in the shadows only let out a laugh.

"It really is our own business..."

Raising angel investors is no easy feat. He sighed softly before paying, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction in his voice.

"I don't want to speculate about your identity. I just want to say that if you are interested in the 'Death Ruler,' then we have no conflict on this point..."

“If something happens to Gene, we won’t all be completely wiped out, but the title of Lord of Death will probably never have the chance to be used again.”

……

Deceit and treachery abound; the atmosphere of interaction among people in this world is always fascinating.

Ultimately, it was the title "Lord of Death" that carried weight. The moment it was uttered, it not only almost confirmed Serana's identity but also made her intentions less pure.

Under careful nurturing, the little mind is clearly growing stronger, intending to explore the secrets of the Lord of Death, or even the owner of the Fang bookstore.

"So you are His retinue? Then why don't you know His true name? And if no one else knows, how do you know?"

However, as a demigod, he naturally did not want to be easily manipulated.

Serana remained noncommittal for a moment, even casually confirming core secrets—

It should be.

The pursuit of a criminal across thousands of miles isn't for charity. Knowing that Moore is not simple, why take unnecessary risks?

“That’s right. We insects have always been the servants of the Lord of Death, and we have been trying to pass on His grace. Unfortunately, things didn’t go well recently, and we had to hide everywhere.”

You ask me a question, and I answer; I connect all the dots without batting an eye.

"Without answering the most important question, why do you know? And why don't they know?"

Serana, however, was not so easily let go of him, and did not give him a chance to downplay his strengths.

"tail……"

He finally paused for a moment before uttering a name.

……

“I’m not sure of his origins or how he exists now, but it’s clear that there has always been such a will standing between us and the ‘Lord of Death’.”

Recalling his old friend trapped in the Hill of No Return, and his familiar voice and smile, Fu Qian couldn't help but sigh.

"For a long time, we didn't even know who 'He' was. The title of King of Abandoned Prisons first appeared in the capital, and everyone heard it, but I didn't tell them that I had heard more..."

"Perhaps because I am at the very top of this chain, I know the name Tail and that he has encountered some kind of change, which has caused some of the cover to disappear."

Quietly, many clues have already connected, and "Laurie" seems to care nothing more, only wanting to get the secret in his heart out.

"And in the exploration of that name, the title of Lord of Death is gradually replacing the one we hear, until I am increasingly convinced that it is the essence that the emblem points to."

Oh?
The plot was so dramatic and captivating that it clearly drew Serana's attention.

Even in the shadows at that moment, it seemed as if she could be seen nodding slightly.

"It's a good story... but are you taking me for a fool?"

But what he said next was truly earth-shattering.

"You were the only one who sensed that others didn't? Are you implying that you had already severed your sensory connection at that point?"

Serana casually pointed out a fatal flaw in the story, revealing her murderous intent.

"Perception sharing is unidirectional, from the bottom up."

Unfortunately, it came to an abrupt end the next moment.
