Chapter 2508 The dove takes over the magpie's nest
Given Serana's temperament, if Laurie had responded to that shout just now, it's highly likely that the firebats would have swarmed down.

As a player who always enjoys setting traps, Fu Qian's sensitivity in this regard is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Normally, Serana might have tried to stall for time, but the situation was urgent, and getting entangled with such a stubborn opponent was clearly not cost-effective.

However, while getting in early certainly has its advantages, what this vampire demigod didn't know was that staying outside would also bring benefits.

Having successfully tracked Laurie and his group's movements, the more this place seemed to relate to the Lord of Death, the more he pondered the plight of the Greedy Worms.

For example, what would their death reflections look like? Would they be different from others?

And it certainly seems so. Serana clearly also knew Laurie's whereabouts and that her previous identity was fabricated, which led to that deadly question—

However, it is precisely this gain that, at this moment, has a deceptive effect.

Why do I know about the greedy insects? Why am I impersonating Laurie? Why am I interested in this place? Because I am the "tail" mentioned earlier.

They are also followers of the Lord of Death, only more detached than the greedy insects.

So much so that his motivations for doing things were perfectly balanced: he didn't mind helping them, but he didn't care if they actually died.

Even when Serana and Laurie confronted each other later, the discrepancy between the King of the Abandoned Prison and the Lord of Death was perfectly resolved.

All you need to do is reveal your "true colors," and the transitions between each step will be flawless, making the story perfect.

"Perhaps they aren't as clear-headed as I am, but they're definitely different in this place. When did you discover them?"

Turning his head to gaze in the direction of the "escort agency," Fu Qian's posture at that moment gave the impression that everything was under his control.

……

Actually, revealing your identity directly at this point is also an option; you don't need to worry too much about losing a tool.

On the one hand, she was not afraid of Serana's retaliation, and on the other hand, even if she realized that she had been playing the clown all along, she would not dare to walk away when things were on fire.

In this situation, I still put in a little more effort to create a persona, not out of any perverse sense of humor.

There are two main considerations: firstly, the guidance effect will be better, and the entire observation plan for the insects can maintain a sense of hierarchy and have more room for operation.

Secondly, knowing too much might not be a good thing for Serana or even the surname Gulad.

This isn't just about one person in power; this trip to the Ash Sea involves increasingly serious matters.

It's almost certain that the will of the Night Watchers will be involved.

Considering the considerable contributions they've made, let's allow them to remain in a state of blissful ignorance for now.

"After leaving here for the first time."

Whether it was sensing an abstract kindness or not, Serana actually answered the question at that moment.

This even indirectly proves the claim that he would come over to check on things from time to time.

Of course, there must have been some inducing factors behind this decisive action.

There's almost certainly someone watching the escort agency. The fact that he kept glancing in that direction while talking was enough to subtly imply to Serana that what he knew about Laurie and the others was true.

"Oh? Are all four of them here?"

They even continued to hint, casually asking a question before payment.

"No, one is missing—so are you planning to talk here standing up or on the way?"

Serana's cooperation was undoubtedly very smooth, although she eventually showed signs of impatience.

So Gene is still not here?

Fu Qian shook his head slightly, accepting the suggestion.

"lets go."

……

It's definitely become much more unrestrained.

Almost instantly upon receiving confirmation, the blurry figure vanished from its spot. As Fu Qian accelerated to catch up, he not only confirmed that the route was correct but also seemed to sense Serana's shift in style.

He was quite certain that this person had not been in this posture when he was walking through this city of death.

Now, it feels like we're almost following the principle that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and we're only one step away from recklessly charging ahead.

"We don't have much time; the storm could stop at any moment."

As if to explain this behavior, Serana added from the front.

They shared the same concern about the trading window, but for different reasons.

"Can you sense when the storm stops?"

I was just curious before I paid.

"How could we not notice? At one point, the surroundings suddenly changed, as if time had jumped forward a bit."

Serana could hear the sneer in his voice and seemed quite certain that her temporary partner was holding back.

"But you're the one in more trouble. You might have to go out first and wait for the next storm."

……

Very perceptive.

At that moment, Fu Qian was not dissatisfied with the somewhat aggressive remarks.

It's clear that he didn't encounter a "dead person" to answer his questions, but after only experiencing a brief respite from the storm, he not only noticed the problem but also figured out the cause.

With the storm outside gone, Serana, whose body was "on fire," was clearly no longer going to fall out, but he might not be.

Although there was a slight miscalculation in the details, the reason I need to worry is because she can't handle it.

The fact that they were able to enter this time was due to a confluence of favorable circumstances after they stirred up the situation.

It's one thing to have to wait for the next storm, but if it drags on a little longer and she becomes fully integrated into this place, whether she can still clear the way for herself is another matter entirely.

So even if the next storm comes, I might not be able to get in.

"That makes sense. Hopefully, this storm will last a while."

However, emphasizing this point now might only increase the other party's determination to drag him down, so I just echoed it.

"Are they up there?"

Seeing that Serana's figure was still moving, he asked again out of curiosity, looking up at the front.

Yes, we have arrived at the core business district we visited before, and right in front of us is the building where the security escort agency is located.

However, not only did they not find Laurie and the others on the way, Serana also showed no signs of stopping and continued upstairs.

"You seem to find this strange?"

Like a ghost, she floated down the stairs. Serana asked a question casually without turning around.

It is indeed a bit strange.

The greedy gang was clearly not very dedicated; it was already difficult enough for three of them to gather here, but they were practically guarding the entrance to the escort agency.

Wait a minute, it seems like the case has been solved. Instead of guarding the door, they're guarding inside.

Even with the more gentle route upstairs, it was still a breeze to reach the top floor, where a familiar office layout awaited.

Unfortunately, the pitch-black reception desk, covered in mold and scraps of paper, gave it a horror movie feel.

What's even more terrifying is that there was another person sitting behind them, and it was also a woman.

"I'm sorry, our company currently only operates a fixed business."

In the darkness, the face of the Tooth and Throat Hermit slowly rose.
