Chapter 1786: Chapter 1781: Downfall

The sudden heavenly tribunal, stemming from the fear of typhoid fever given to the Prison Angel Commander when in Shangjing, was almost a certainty.

And it seemed that the joke with Chief Yuan at that time turned into a prophecy, as a meteor shower indeed came.

The mere Instant Thousand Strikes of the Prison Angel Commander, of course, wouldn’t have such an effect.

At that time, Fu Qian could clearly count the nineteen repetitions when the opponent destroyed their twin swords and retreated.

Multiply that number by the Graceful Release’s three, which is exactly fifty-seven strikes.

So many meteors falling from the sky indeed created a visual feast, but the true excitement behind it was even more vibrant than it seemed.

The Second Phase Transcendent, the sacred embodiment of the Prison Angel Commander, would actually hide in the Academy Benevolence Department?

Having some secrets for an old organization is quite normal.

But the currently most sensitive identity of the Prison Angel Commander isn’t some Second Phase, but being an "accomplice" of the Needle Witch Kelin.

Compared to Chief Yuan’s beautiful hope for organizational purity, Fu Qian held no such sentiment in matters like these.

Thus, the confrontation in Shangjing, even though the final outcome seemed to have proven special equilibrium without any real evidence.

Fu Qian, who would not easily deny himself, still naturally took it as a tacit game with Night Watchman Corin.

Therefore, the identity of the Prison Angel Commander was firmly placed in the Needle Witch’s camp.

Under such circumstances, it’s not so strange that the Destiny Meteor bombed whichever base or even the headquarters of the Night Watchman.

The result was that after the attacker ran away, they hid in the Academy, performing a chest-shattering big star act for themselves?

Especially at the Benevolence Institute, where talents are withering?

The wonders of the world indeed challenge human imagination.

...

So why is it?

Could the Prison Angel Commander actually be a hidden expert at the Benevolence Institute, secluded in meditation without interest in fame or gain?

Or perhaps it’s some forbidden collection, like what Lie Wen encountered at Night Holy City before?

Or is there something in the Benevolence Institute that makes it feel it can protect itself under the Destiny Meteor?

For a moment, many speculations rose in Fu Qian’s mind, yet he didn’t rush to verify.

The reason is simple, he didn’t think Lord Angel could still answer his questions.

It wasn’t because he ran away.

Just like when he answered Miss Liushuang, "To us, it is an illusion."

Perhaps there is no impact on the surroundings, but to the target, the meteor is a true judgment of fate.

In fact, by the time the third strike landed, something special had already appeared—

Holy and brilliant, sharp as a needle.

At that moment, dozens or even hundreds of spikes suddenly exploded from inside the Benevolence Department, piercing out from all directions.

Like a sacred tree breaking through obstacles, suddenly growing into form.

With a simple judgment of the direction, one could realize that the source should still be deeper underground.

It’s easy to imagine this as a special reaction or resistance born from the meteor bombardment.

Unfortunately, this bloom was crushed in an instant.

Strike after strike of meteors pounded on this presumed last stand without pause, breaking every spike and turning them into scattering feathers.

Even from a bit of a distance, you could vaguely feel that a high-level Transcendent, who once interacted with you, had already completely collapsed with this scene.

Any more meteors after were just flogging a dead horse.

...

Is it really just gone like that? Is this really the more you fear death, the more you will die?

There is at least seventy to eighty percent confidence that Lord Angel has already fallen.

Facing this achievement, the mastermind Professor Fu was briefly overwhelmed by a sense of being excessively kind.

Stacking the Instant Thousand Strikes with Graceful Release, dropping dozens of Destiny Meteors together is quite an exaggeration, but wasn’t this resistance a bit too weak?

Under the meteor’s special lock, the previously shown concealment ability’s ineffectiveness can be understood, but Corin, skilled in spatial abilities, didn’t even try to help escape?

"Is it over?"

As Fu Qian quietly pondered, Ji Liushuang beside him finally regained the ability to speak.

And as she said, the last meteor had already crashed to the ground, and the night sky returned to its deep darkness.

In just a blink of an eye, it demonstrated the fleeting nature of prosperity.

So much so that Ji Liushuang’s subconscious question carried an unwitting sigh of fireworks fading away.

"What were those spikes?"

But just in an instant, this little sentiment was dismissed as she returned to the terrifying scene from before.

"Different from the meteor, it seemed to affect the surroundings; I wonder if Professor Ah Kai and the others were hurt."

And her concern was not without reason.

Unlike the meteors, which had been proven to be illusions, the destructive power of those spikes was palpable; they truly pierced through the Benevolence Institute.

If anyone were indeed inside, it’s truly hard to say what condition they might be in.

"Just take a look and you’ll know."

And facing Ji Liushuang’s doubts, Fu Qian directly walked over to open the door, even signaling for her to follow.

With such a big commotion, it’s only normal to go check it out.

Miss Liushuang didn’t immediately suggest doing so, obviously because of the earlier coincidence—

She had just asked if there were any abnormal celestial phenomena, and then a meteor shower crashed in front of her; speaking the truth into existence had never felt so true.

She was probably worried about whether she had any involvement, perhaps not quite willing to rush over and join the excitement.

But actually, this thought was somewhat disrupted by care; for the temporary leader of Heaven’s Commencement Institute, not to take a look after such a big commotion, wouldn’t that be even more suspicious?

"Okay."

And at this point, seeing Professor Fu being so upright, Ji Liushuang was even more encouraged and nodded to follow.

...

"Professor Fu."

Fu Qian and Ji Liushuang weren’t the first to arrive.

Such a big commotion, it’s impossible not to draw attention, not to mention a group of curious researchers.

Although the onlookers were just a handful, it was rare excitement for the Benevolence Institute.

Among them was Professor Ah Kai.

Having just achieved a new breakthrough, he stood there disoriented, staring at the building until the corner of his eye caught sight of Fu Qian, and his spirits lifted as he greeted him.

"Is there anyone still inside?"

Fu Qian nodded slightly, confirming personnel damage directly without wasting any words.

Considering that Professor Ah Kai usually slept in his office, he probably ran out from inside.

And although there was no sign of more human activity from this position, given the Benevolence Institute’s mysterious methods, perception might not always be that reliable.

"Probably not, the other professors are accustomed to doing research at home and only come when needed..."

Ah Kai shook his head, indicating there was no need for excessive worry.

"But you still seem awfully worried."

This was no doubt good news, prompting Ji Liushuang to inquire with one question.

"The documents and manuscripts, my things are all inside..."

And this had clearly struck a chord with Professor Ah Kai, as his tone was full of grief while he muttered to himself.

"Understandable."

Sympathizing with such misfortune, Fu Qian casually expressed his condolences, reaching out to pick a long feather off Ah Kai’s sleeve.
