Chapter 1812: Chapter 1787: Vulgar Fear (20)

This person is just another passerby.

It’s said that those accustomed to darkness often find it difficult to look directly at light, and at that moment, Fu Qian deeply felt the truth of these words.

Under the light, the figure steadily approached, its face covered in a glistening sheen that was hard to look at directly.

It was clear that this person was under a lot of pressure and, as usual, wasn’t much of a talker.

Indeed, not only was the face uncovered, but it was also familiares, as the person was one of the two silent assistants at the party.

This Twilight School incident seemed to involve a weakening of the Transcendent and strengthening of reality, potentially explainable by human factors.

Although still uncertain, the probability was high that he was the humanoid shadow chasing from behind.

And earlier, he indeed collided head-on with the person next to him, just as speculated.

So why was he here?

Judging from the attention paid to the movements over here and the resolute approach, it’s not hard to imagine he’s also looking for Joshua.

"Tell me, what is the final outcome you hope to achieve?"

With a slight nod to greet him, Fu Qian ignored the bewildered passerby and immediately assumed Mr. Wolf’s stance, signaling the other to choose a conclusion.

"We... want to find Joshua."

Gao Bi paused evidently, recalling the question he asked was not this, and after hesitation, made a wish.

And successfully exposed that the passerby’s goals were indeed aligned with his.

Oh...

Fu Qian nodded slightly, remaining noncommittal.

"Dead or alive?"

...

It was clear that the additional choices provided by Fu Qian caused considerable mental stress.

Resulting in the two assistants facing a sudden bout of decision-making difficulty, staring at each other for half a minute without speaking.

The passerby couldn’t help but take a few steps forward, trying to look down from the open window.

"That wasn’t it."

Fu Qian didn’t stop him, merely offering information casually to save time.

"How can you be so sure... we were obviously chasing him up here."

This time, the passerby couldn’t hold back, and spoke for the first time.

The exchange was quite revelatory.

Not only were they misled by someone stirring up trouble, mistaking the falling person as their target.

More surprisingly, they believed Joshua, who was dead either at the party or in this building, could potentially be alive, lively climbing up the stairs.

Truly remarkable.

"So your choice is alive? Indeed, it’s more comprehensive, as if not needed, killing is easy."

Praising them, Fu Qian seamlessly steered the conversation back to his own topic.

"...It’s not about life or death, why are you here?"

Regrettably, his analysis seemed overly logical, and Gao Bi, who faced him for a longer time, couldn’t help but snarl after a distorted expression.

"I am not obliged to answer this; if you’re curious, you can check the restroom over there."

Fu Qian just shook his head at this, pointing towards the recently explored area without much emotion.

...

In the end, they were just under twenty years old, seeming fierce but barely holding on.

The result was that after Fu Qian provided direction, the two assistants raced towards it, leaving no one behind to control the situation.

Rationally, for someone like Fu Qian, leaving one person to accompany would be best.

Of course, it’s not without advantages.

If one person goes, the situation might be frightening.

Ah—

Though shortly after, there was indeed a scream.

A female scream, with a familiar voice to Fu Qian.

Eva seemed indeed brave, not only following them but revisiting the place that once sent her home.

As for whether the scream was due to seeing Salma in the stall, or the other two, remains unclear.

Stirring up the situation was indeed my intention, but gathering everyone together so coincidentally seems a bit fateful now.

And the effect was indeed impressive.

Ah! Ah—

As if the long-suppressed urge finally erupted, followed by two screams from the assistants.

And chaotic footsteps and the slam of a door against the wall.

"Over here."

Still, nothing could overshadow Mr. Wolf’s greeting.

Walking forward to stand in the light, Fu Qian waved toward the restroom.

...

Mysterious motives, eerie presence.

Theoretically, whoever was first to rush out of the restroom lacked a motive to respond to Fu Qian’s call.

Yet in this maddening situation, his calm demeanor and the always steady tone carried immense allure.

After only a moment of hesitation, a relatively small figure sprinted over, precisely sock-wearing Eva.

Shoes seemed tossed in the restroom, the red-white bag still on her back, and she appeared stunned when she halted.

"Sa... it was Salma..."

Her breath was like a bellows while gazing at Mr. Wolf with such eyes.

"Yes."

Fu Qian nodded without any visible shock.

"This afternoon... only the two of us were there... I thought she had long gone home... yes, only us."

Getting Mr. Wolf’s approval, Eva didn’t seem to calm down a bit.

Yet after witnessing two familiar corpses, and seeing her coat and hands covered in vibrant red, she likely stumbled straight over Salma’s body.

Under such psychological stress, Eva’s words turned nearly to muttering, becoming rather jumbled.

But regardless, she managed to convey the information—

Thus, over the weekend, Salma was also working hard, practicing together with him.

And when seeing her friend’s blood, Eva, with a lively imagination, perceived it as some transcendent evil, fleeing in terror.

That’s what led to the initial elevator scene.

"What happened?"

"That has nothing to do with us!"

While pondering silently, the two assistants had rushed over, demonstrating Mr. Wolf’s tremendous influence.

Their first response was to dissociate themselves, fearful of being misunderstood.

"Are you close with Salma?"

Fu Qian merely gestured, urging patience, then continued questioning Eva.

"Not really."

"So do you know her boyfriend?"

"...Wen?"
