Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2691 The Plight of the Victims
what--

Is this a bit too demanding, taking it a step further?

It's perfectly reasonable for the leader to confirm the progress and inquire about the next steps.

The problem is that once you reach a high level on the path to transcendence, taking another step forward is far from easy.

Many people spend their entire lives without ever even touching the threshold; yours is like eating beans.

Wen Li has only been upgraded for a few days, yet she's already coming up with a second-tier plan?

At that moment, it was clear that even Liu Shuang was starting to lose interest in listening.

"...No, including Professor Viron and his colleagues, they don't have any ideas in this regard at all yet."

Fortunately, Miss Wen had a good mental fortitude; after a brief moment of stunned silence, she still answered earnestly.

"Recently, their main focus has been on confirming the stability of my condition, and they have even spent a lot of resources on this."

It was clear that Wen Li appreciated their kindness, although she also seemed to think that the group's overly cautious attitude was an overreaction.

It just goes to show that Professor Viron still retains the intellectual's aloofness...

Wen Li might be a little confused, but Fu Qian was quite clear about the reasons.

The core issue remains the crucial information that Ling Hui and his team uncovered last time, concerning Miss Wen's background—Professor Fu owns a bookstore in Beijing, and this rising star in the mental sciences field even knew him long ago.

So much so that when Miss Wen moved into the Spirit Ashes, the story suddenly became a completely different one.

And what followed was not anger at being mocked, but a speechless shame.

Unaware that problems had arisen early on, Professor Fu was forced to take a roundabout approach, arranging for Wen Li to venture into danger alone, thus triggering and eliminating the hidden dangers in advance.

For proud and arrogant people living in morgues, this situation is probably even harder to accept than being humiliated in person.

It's not surprising that they treat Wenli like a treasure and offer her any reward regardless of cost.

"It's not a bad thing, it can't even be considered a waste. The Night Watchers might be interested in these tests."

While empathizing with the feelings of Grandpa Vilon and the others, Fu Qian gestured to Wen Li that she didn't need to feel sorry.

……

"The term 'victims' might be rather special to the Night Watchers?"

Professor Fu's words were clearly loaded with meaning, and as a representative of the "listen to advice" faction, Wen Li was also very sensitive about her personal safety and immediately realized what was going on.

"Perhaps, especially recently."

He confirmed her statement before he paid.

Based on Wen Li's ability type, I had previously speculated on the possible relationship between her divine path and certain superiors, such as the Mourning God or Lord Stomach Bag—of course, now we should call him Father's Amnion.

And it seems that recently, his introduction to the Night Watchers has finally yielded results.

The latter not only warmly welcomed His Majesty the Father's Amnion, but also joined forces with him to uproot all the strongholds in the Sea of ​​the Soul.

One's own recommendation letter might be important, but it's clear that the father's amnion wouldn't have a very good reputation there.

Now that things have been dealt with successfully, Wen Li, who has become conspicuous due to her rapid promotion, should theoretically have a lower level of danger in the eyes of the Night Watchers.

Even so, the probability of being approved is still quite high.

As professionals in this field, the tests conducted by the Columbarium may seem wasteful, but they could actually serve as a reference for the Night Watchers.

Then, if we consider it all, could this be considered Miss Wen's self-salvation as a helper who helps others?
You have to understand the circumstances; she was indeed taking a risk.

"I understand. But what should I say when they find out the whole story?"

Wen Li took a deep breath, not forgetting to coordinate her testimony beforehand.

"Just say it directly, they shouldn't make things difficult for you." Professor Fu naturally didn't shirk his basic responsibility as a leader, and directly indicated to Wen Li that there was no need for any underhanded tactics.

As for whether it will make things difficult for myself?
All I can say is that I'm really looking forward to it.

"...Has Professor Fu had dinner yet?"

Seeing that the project for the two of them had been completed quickly, Fu Qian was already leisurely sipping his tea. Ji Liushuang helped him refill his cup while remembering that it was getting late.

Although the meeting was short, it was undoubtedly very beneficial, and the secrets we heard were truly remarkable.

Of course, there are also some less specific but still shocking things, such as Professor Fu's attitude towards the Night Watchers.

Compared to her previous somewhat assertive personality, she now seems to be almost unafraid to confront challenges.
"No, we can ask Coco to arrange something for us to eat here."

Professor Fu was clearly reluctant to leave his seat today, even holding team building activities in the lab, refusing to lift his butt up even for a second.

……

Even though it's just a small shop, they haven't given up on their ambition.

With Wenli and the other person helping to pack up, the team building activity, which didn't even involve changing venues, was successfully completed.

As Fu Qian savored the taste of one of the fish, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yes, the team building activity was not only held on-site, but also took into full consideration the leaders' tastes, and fish was specially bought from the late-night canteen.

Some of these were even new products that the owner had just improved the process of making, which were given away for tasting and indeed had a unique flavor.

Although it was just a small detail, it still seemed to give people a sense of the world's vibrant side.

In comparison, the old folks seem a bit lazy.

For example, he himself is too lazy to move, and the cast members have not come over to freeload a meal so far.

It's hard to say whether it's absolutely a good thing or a bad thing, but it seems there won't be a chance to exchange scientific research findings today.

"Professor Fu is going out again?"

The ever-understanding Liu Shuang seemed to realize something and carefully confirmed it at a certain moment.

"What? I suggest you don't even think about slacking off."

Seemingly "reading through" what she was thinking, Fu Qian glanced at her and gestured towards his buttocks.

"I can appear behind you at any time now."

……

"Definitely not."

Professor Fu's words were clearly difficult to refute; the two of them had just witnessed him appear directly in his seat.

The scene of a leader suddenly appearing behind someone while they are eating hot pot and singing in the laboratory is indeed quite extraordinary.

Liu Shuang immediately made a serious statement, vowing to correct her attitude.

"Me too."

Wen Li, standing beside her, readily agreed, smiling and expressing her determination not to slack off.

"That's more like it."

With a slightly relieved hum, Professor Fu finally left his seat and stood with his hands behind his back under the gaze of the two young men.

After Professor Lisa left, the laboratory door was never closed too tightly.

The next moment, he stepped forward, casually opened the door again, stared at the other illusory door overlapping above, and stepped inside.

But that step did not lead into the academy that night; Professor Fu's figure had vanished without a trace from Wen Li and the other woman's sight.
