Chapter 2506 Neglect of Duty

Chapter 2506 Neglect of Duty
The demigod was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

The wind and waves howled, and the killing intent was bone-chilling.

Although he was still shrouded in shadow and his face was blurred, it did not prevent Fu Qian from recognizing the person and even sensing the emotions bursting forth from him.

Good news! The main objective of this trip has been achieved; Lady Serana has indeed come here.

The bad news is that she seems to have achieved her goal as well.

That silver-tongued scoundrel who led her into this perilous situation has been firmly identified and targeted.

Of course, from this position, no direct trace of flames could be found in the shadows yet.

But to be honest, it's hard to judge that Lady Serana is in good condition based on this. It's more likely that the mosaic is too thick.

"Ok."

But it doesn't matter, as a prisoner, at least he can offer a good attitude.

Faced with Serana's warning, Fu Qian nodded and even smiled, his posture impeccable.

Where is Sorrendir?

Unfortunately, the feedback received was not very friendly. Serana's tone was neither happy nor sad, and she completely ignored the goodwill, pointing directly to a key issue.

But to be honest, it's understandable; this was indeed my responsibility in the previous conspiracy.

"Good question, I'm actually looking for the same thing."

With a soft sigh, Fu Qian felt somewhat ashamed, indicating that he did not yet have any information on their whereabouts.

"I thought you would say it's on the boat and let me go up and take a look."

However, a contrast emerged. Faced with this rather irresponsible statement, Serana not only responded but also carefully provided reference answers.

"It's a pity, I think he's probably not on the ship."

Encouraged, Fu Qian was quite pleased and continued to be honest.

……

Sorendir is most likely not there, after all, it's questionable whether he even managed to find his way here, and a ship just floating at sea doesn't prove anything.

Even if he successfully found the place, it would be almost impossible for him to stay there.

It wasn't that I knew much about Sorrendir's promotion plan or what he was planning to do, but rather it was purely logical deduction—if Sorrendir was still in power, how could he have escaped Lady Serana's thorough search?
That's right, although she appeared from behind, Fu Qian didn't believe that Serana was here for the first time.

Don't forget when this vampire demigod disappeared.

Two storms had already occurred by the time I arrived in Moore. I entered the Realm of the Dead during the second storm, but the Greedy Worms had already reacted to Serana's disappearance long before the second storm began.

It is quite obvious that this vampire demigod was most likely caught in the latter half of the first storm, that is, right after agreeing on a cooperation plan with me, he had already fallen into the trap.

Even if, as the old man said, this place would enter a frozen, non-existent state during the storm's intervals, Serana would still have much more free time here than he did.

Then you can find the dock yourself, so why would she be later than you?
That probability is extremely low.

The most likely explanation is that she had already been there and searched the ship.

If I were to suggest that she go to the boat, she might just chop me down with a single blow.

As for why, even though he was already aware of the time difference, he still thought he could find someone here?

It's very simple. Just because there's no one on the ship once doesn't mean there won't be one every time. If Serana could analyze the properties of this place even a little, she should be able to figure out some patterns.

In the absence of other clues, it is only natural to come and check every now and then.

If it weren't for the fact that her clothes were on fire, Fu Qian even suspected that she would have stayed there for a while.

In conclusion, it's highly likely that this demigod had boarded the ship long ago, perhaps more than once, and Sorendir was clearly not discovered.

"...I agree with your idea, but haven't you forgotten something...? Whether Sorendir is here or not, there's someone who should be on top?"

Faced with the "frankness" before her, Serana remained silent for a moment.

When she spoke again, she finally stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the negligence of a certain partner.

His tone became even more somber towards the end, as if he might take action at any moment.

"That's because I got off the ship halfway through and didn't stay on board for long."

Fortunately, having learned from previous interactions, Fu Qian understood the importance of honesty and readily admitted to skipping work.

"Later I even went to your place, but you weren't there. Instead, I ended up in this place—was this a passage you left behind?"

However, he did not accept the claim of dereliction of duty, insisting that he had something important to share and even asked if an ally had left a portal.

"Really? Are you so sure you went to the place where we were chatting?"

Serana's tone carried a hint of sneer, not only because of this seemingly dishonest operation, but also because of her doubts about whether they had chosen the right place.

"I think I'm right, I even saw bats."

Unfortunately, those who dare to mock Professor Fu face-to-face always receive a harsh lesson from reality.

Fu Qian frowned and brought up a small detail.

"Some of them were even on fire."

……

One shot into the soul.

Even though the wind and waves hadn't gotten any bigger, the suffocation level in the air suddenly spiked.

Serana remained silent, shrouded in shadow. Instead, it was as if bats were actually fluttering and even screaming around her.

The reason I described this vampire demigod as having a strong "pay-to-win" vibe wasn't just a casual remark.

Although the standoff seemed to have returned to the state of their first meeting, the shadow looming over the other person clearly exuded a more ostentatious air.

Not only did it expand slightly, but even when it was still dark, you could always feel a shimmering glow, giving it a low-key yet luxurious feel.

"Oh...is that so?"

Unfortunately, Fu Qian didn't have much time to appreciate it. At one point, Serana spoke again, and the tone of her voice was chilling.

And as it happened, the shadow began to struggle silently, and shapes with wings on their backs slowly tore out from it.

More importantly, despite being just an illusory form, the rings of flames on it were clearly visible.

They're known as big spenders, right?

This alone speaks volumes, instantly providing strong support for all the previous speculations.

"Yes."

As expected, Lady Serana fell for it. Fu Qian couldn't help but sigh and nodded.

Although bats with bared teeth and claws were pointing directly at him, their postures were quite hostile, as if they wanted to bite him.

"Are you sure, Laurie?"

The vampire demigod repeated himself, asking him to confirm his answer.
