Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

"Mr. Anke's thinking is really meticulous."

Although the demigod Eco had an epiphany, the one who was under greater pressure was obviously Fu Qian, who helped with the enlightenment.

At that moment, Li He and Jin Ning both slowed down their pace and fixed their eyes on Fu Qian.

“Actually, speaking of this, I also have a question.”

He did not deny it outright. The next moment, a playful smile appeared on Lord Jining's face.

"In the situation just now, it was clearly a sudden attack, so why did you shout the thunder signal? Does this place make you feel that there is no hostility?"

He is indeed a veteran in this field, and his skills in tit-for-tat are quite profound.

It was obvious that Lord Jining's attitude towards his performance just now was merely acceptance, not understanding.

At this moment, she did not avoid the questioning, but made the same action in return, waiting for the answer.

"It's simple. According to the role I play in the team, that is the option with the highest expected return."

Seeing that the temporary alliance with a luxurious lineup was crumbling after a few words, Fu Qian remained calm and did not hesitate to pursue a deep collision of ideas.

"I'm too weak."

Pointing at Eco, Fu Qian made his second humble move.

"This is a trap where you can't even see the instigator. As a non-high-level warrior who specializes in flesh and blood power, there is little you can do except to try your best to get rid of the influence. It's good enough to ensure that you don't get hurt by mistake."

……

Although Jining's statement also aroused doubts in him, the term "accidental injury" still made Eco feel a little uncomfortable.

If Jin Ning had not spoken in time, his conditioned reflex response would almost certainly have enveloped this temporary ally.

It's not that I wasn't aware of this at the time, but I made the choice after careful consideration.

Maybe even if I were to do it again, I would still make the same choice, but it would still feel a little weird to be pointed out now.

"But it is precisely this precious time of perception confusion that was not utilized, and we were left to respond after being attacked. I feel that this is somewhat abnormal, just like the lack of hostility mentioned by Your Excellency."

Unfortunately, no one seemed to care about Aiko's shyness. No one even looked at her and continued to talk.

"After all, in a place like this, a brief period of sensory confusion followed by a ruthless assault feels like a relatively normal development."

"So when I was thinking about the purpose of this trap that was not malicious enough, I thought of the most optimistic possibility - a temptation from the same kind."

"Without a target, I couldn't possibly get past Master Eco and get to the front, so I chose to convey the communicative nature of the team as soon as possible."

"...I have to repeat my previous evaluation. Mr. Anke is really thoughtful and his response speed is amazing."

The expression on Ms. Jining's face softened almost in sync with Fu Qian's narration. In the end, she couldn't help but look at Li He, and even the latter could not hide his admiration in his eyes.

"You did make the most reasonable choice."

Given their status, they naturally knew that this mysterious figure with a strange origin was not lying about his abilities.

The more this is the case, the more difficult it is to maintain such a calm mind in the current situation.

"As for the issue you mentioned, yes, we do have some uncertain conclusions, but please believe that we did not conceal them out of malice."

……

How could these two people be so slow?

As expected, Jining's statement verified Fu Qian's guess.

The situation before seemed simple. Li He and his partner, who were also in deep trouble, realized that the new member of the royal family was the key to the problem, just like himself and Eco. Then they chose the same coping strategy and even the same route to look for possible traces.

But this is only on the surface. If you think about it carefully, you will find the inconsistency.

How could these two people realize it only now?

They didn't seem surprised at all by Eco's appearance at the party, so how could they not think of the dangers associated with the newborn?

What's more, the problem occurred when the two of them were on their way to see the baby.

The fact that he had the idea and time to set up such a trap also showed that he was likely the only outlier in this predicament, and the time when others came in should be relatively similar.

As a result, Li He and his team, who had suppressed them in all aspects in terms of information and strength, were caught up by the two of them on the way of searching.

What did they do during this time?

It's very thought-provoking.

"We did immediately recognize the encroachment of the place on ourselves and the possible connection between the omnipresent crying and the newborn."

At this time, His Excellency Li He sighed softly and pointed out the point directly.

"But before going to the possible baby room to look for it, Jining used her ability to do a small test, and found something very strange - the crying sound was not everywhere."

……

Is there such a thing?

Fu Qian would rather take the risk of reducing the efficiency of his actions and still raise questions. His purpose in doing so was to use the two new powerful parties to gain a deeper understanding of the current predicament.

These two people may not have any bad intentions, but they may not be without reservations.

This was his feeling after the initial communication. After all, compared with the strength of Li He and the others, their gains were really mediocre.

It turns out that the two of them did have reservations, although the content was somewhat counterintuitive.

  what?

Mr. Eco's shock confirmed this point.

But she still had some sense of propriety. She didn't use meaningless interjections to express her emotions, but gritted her teeth and continued to be a listener.

"It was kind of an accidental discovery, because the original intention was to try and get out directly."

Li He also seemed very satisfied with the audience's reaction.

"Jin Ning's ability allows her to enter a short-term state of death on a spiritual level. When we first entered here, we determined that it was some kind of extremely high-level hallucination or dream, so we didn't dwell on the elements here. Our first reaction was to get out first."

It is indeed a very reasonable reaction. For people with strength, they often do not need to follow unnecessary rules.

Direct mental death is indeed a very violent solution to various confusing methods.

Fu Qian naturally understood this mentality and nodded repeatedly as he listened.

But obviously they did not succeed.

"Of course, as you can see, it's not that simple."

Playing with the Royal Crescent Sword in his hand, Li He sighed again.

"After I stayed there for nearly a minute, Jining's will to revive still appeared inside, and he was unable to return to reality."

"Of course, that doesn't mean there was no gain at all. When she checked her own condition, she was surprised to find that the power that had been slowly eroding her body had actually stopped during this period of time." (End of this chapter)
