Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2756 Thirteen Days (Part 8) (Thanks to Little White Who Wants to Enter the Literary World for another Silver Alliance donation)

Things seem to be getting interesting.

As expected, Mrs. Tracy gave the address and then left without looking back, without saying another word.

Even so, he still made sure to close the door behind him.

As he watched them go, Fu Qian was also pleased with the progress of things.

The view from this location is somewhat obstructed, but you can still see through a corner of the window that it's in a different direction from the place Mrs. Tracy mentioned.

This also aligns with what the two people mentioned earlier: that no one would come here for a walk.

Logically, in the current situation, if we want to achieve the containment objective, we should leave here and run to a deserted corner.

Even the operation seems to be quite simple. From the outside, there isn't even a proper wall; it's just a ring of thorny shrubs planted to keep out animals.

At the same time, Fu Qian still developed a strong interest in the two places that Mrs. Trish had mentioned.

Even beneath that calm surface, there's a different kind of sanatorium.

As a customer, it's certainly fine to be in a good mental state, but the fact that it sounded so abstract, even to the attending physician, successfully cast a shadow over the place.

Running away might not be so easy, just as Mrs. Tracy said earlier.

Even from this angle, there were no guards in sight.

Fu Qian is certainly not the kind of person who would restrain himself from trying something just because he has such a suspicion.

But if things don't go smoothly, wouldn't it be best to have a contingency plan?
Considering that this warehouse is another classic example of only providing a design without any information, leaving me completely clueless about the place, I'm quite interested in listing the doctor's office as a possible target.

After all, Mrs. Trish said that Selvis would go anywhere but his own office.

Of course, there are some alternative options besides these.

Fu Qian fiddled with a bunch of keys and a handkerchief he took out of his pocket, then stood up and walked over to the person who was tied up there.

Judging from her well-dressed appearance, she should also enjoy her own living space, just like Mrs. Tracy.

Although now it's me who's dressed impeccably.

He casually pried open the other person's mouth, stuffed a handkerchief inside, and then covered it with the large leather hood.

It has to be said that, with this method, the size is actually just right.

……

They walk really fast.

The whole process was concise and efficient. It was clear that Fu Qian did not expect this substitution to be kept secret for long; he only required that Mrs. Tracy's male companion, after waking up from his coma, would not disturb others.

Even so, by the time Fu Qian finished packing and left, Mrs. Tracy had already vanished without a trace.

Outside the door was an internal corridor, without windows, and it even looked like a dead end.

The room in front of me was located in the far corner, so it's no wonder it was used to house a dangerous person like me.

In short, compared to a place like a sanatorium, this building is somewhat enclosed and dark.

There's a vague feeling that it wasn't originally designed for people to live in, but was temporarily renovated because business was so good.

This layout also leaves no other escape route than heading outwards.

Fu Qian did just that, closing the door behind him and leaving Mrs. Tracy's male companion behind.

Killing them outright was certainly an option, but we didn't do it for two main reasons. First, the place did appear to be quite remote, so the biggest risk of being discovered actually came from patrol personnel, including those who regularly delivered food and drink.

Simply killing the bound man would likely have a negligible effect on improving stealth.

Secondly, if someone dies, compared to the columnist running away, it will change the nature of the whole event and reduce the room for subsequent actions.

In short, as mentioned earlier, if you can leave easily, the task will be completed in just a few minutes, and there's no need to hide for too long.

If the process of leaving is blocked, it means that you will have to move around in the sanatorium. At this time, it is important to retain room to maneuver.

For example, the simplest point is that if the purpose is to attract attention or something else, and a tragedy really needs to be caused, then one can simply find an opportunity to come back and kill the person.

Especially considering the unlikely probability that I could easily escape—

The soft soles of the shoes effectively silenced the footsteps, and just as Fu Qian moved quietly, glancing at the other rooms he passed, a figure appeared out of the corner of his eye.

……

This seems to be a situation where there's no escape.

Even though the lighting wasn't great, and even though she was rather slender, Fu Qian easily confirmed that the person who came was not Mrs. Tracy.

The person was shorter and dressed much more simply, and with the tray in their hand, it was easy to guess their identity and purpose—a staff member of the nursing home, delivering food.

Furthermore, they have clearly undergone rigorous training and their movements are so subtle that they are impossible to detect in advance.

They didn't even give him a chance to open the side door and hide inside. The food delivery person kept his eyes straight ahead and had a clear purpose. He looked towards the end of the corridor immediately and then froze.

So, should we switch to the second concealment technique? If we can't avoid being seen, then we should eliminate all witnesses?
Fu Qian didn't stop walking; he continued forward without any discomfort, while thinking to himself.

It's just too unbelievable how coincidental it was; if it had happened any earlier or later, this desperate situation wouldn't have occurred.

The timing was so perfect that even timing the entire process couldn't compare.

As they rapidly approached, it seemed the other person might scream or sound the alarm at any moment—

"This area is currently closed and entry is not permitted."

However, even as Fu Qian approached and their eyes met, the petite staff member did not run away.

Instead, she stared at Fu Qian's face and even offered a reminder.

His tone suggested he had encountered a customer who had wandered in by mistake.

……

Are you a newcomer here and don't recognize all the faces yet?
Such a reaction undoubtedly brings to mind the legendary saying that fortune favors the bold.

Based on his approachable demeanor, he successfully intimidated the other party.

Unfortunately, it's hard to be optimistic about the situation ahead.

If you don't recognize Mrs. Tracy's male companion's face, how could you not recognize your own face, the one you get fed every day?

In any case, this situation is extremely unusual.

"Don't go over the wall..."

His judgment was confirmed almost instantly. The staff member lowered his head slightly, stepped aside to make room for him, and, with barely moving his lips, continued to remind him.

Oh?
Even as Fu Qian brushed past her with an unperturbed expression, he realized that something had been slipped into his hand as well.

Thank you everyone for your support, and thank you Xiaobai for your love! Wishing Xiaobai eternal youth and lots of money!!
I apologize that due to my health condition, I am unable to fulfill my promise of extra chapters at the moment. The current plan is to make up for it with extra chapters after the book is completed.
