Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 1716 Bitter Fruit (V)

There were four people in the same space, not only with different expressions, but they were even sitting far away from each other, and all remained silent until I arrived.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like you need to go there and break the ice one by one to get some valuable information.

Although this scene was inexplicably familiar, and Fu Qian was even a professional in this area, this time he did not choose to take it slowly. Instead, he directly and unobtrusively guided the group communication.

As we all know, one of the biggest advantages of group interviews is that every word you say will be listened to by your peers, so you don't need to put too much extra pressure on yourself as the host.

In Fu Qian's opinion, since he has almost no knowledge of this place, this will be very efficient in helping him gain a preliminary understanding.

Facts have proved that it is true.

Although the ages and personalities vary, so far there has been no conflict between the participants' answers.

Even under this stress test, more than one person transformed themselves at a deeper level with extremely high efficiency.

For example, the middle-aged man who couldn't help speaking again and again until he finally broke down, and the bride who simply eloped in the dark of night.

Combining the information they have shown in this process, we can basically summarize our current situation:

Strangers, suffering from heart diseases, come to this place to seek healing.

Here they believe in a four-eyed superior being named Akons, the god of insight and wisdom.

Their attending physician is Hilaria, who shares the same faith as them but is suspected of being a heretic.

The latter, for reasons that are still unclear, has been staying deep underground in the church for a long time and has no idea whether it is day or night outside.

As for these four, they hid here to avoid the unspeakable terror coming from the darkness. The old lady among them had seen him before.

But in the end, he let Hillary's efforts down and walked out as a failure.

Even after some communication, there were still only four people left in the church.

"Young man, if you must go out, take this with you."

At this moment, Fu Qian was staring into the darkness. The old lady sitting next to him didn't know if she was shocked by the bride's behavior, but did not try to persuade her anymore. Instead, she handed over something.

……

It was only the length of a finger and it was a small transparent emerald green bottle filled with a darker liquid, of which less than half was left.

"This is a blessed elixir. Don't drink it. Apply it between your nose and lips. If you're lucky, it may help you smell it first."

While Fu Qian turned around to observe and did not rush to take it, the old lady was already introducing it softly.

Although vague, it is easy to understand that the so-called "it" is the undiscussable existence.

Compared to other people, the old lady was still mature and prudent, and she still remembered to avoid taboos at this moment.

"Thank you."

Fu Qian didn't hesitate and just reached out to accept the kindness.

"So she has a similar gift?"

While stroking the slightly rough body of the bottle, Fu Qian did not forget to glance at the bride's original position to show his concern.

"Don't worry...she won't leave this yard."

There was no clear answer to this question. Staring at the empty seat, the old lady just shook her head, indicating that the bride was just impulsive but had not completely lost her mind.

It’s a pity that the tone was too low, and it was hard to tell whether he was trying to convince Fu Qian or himself.

"But the time it takes to come back has been getting longer and longer, and the courtyard is not completely unaffected."

At the same time, not everyone has the same beautiful expectations for the future as she does. The middle-aged man who had come to his senses tenaciously again, after repeatedly hitting a wall here with Fu Qian, actually chose to interact with fellow believers for the first time, staring at the old lady and giving a series of cold smiles.

"It's obvious that she's getting crazier and crazier. It won't surprise me at all if she completely loses her mind and takes that step."

After saying this, he even repeated his old trick and covered his face with the hat again, leaving no chance for rebuttal.

Although he didn't need to be so cautious.

……

He said nothing, with his brows lowered.

It seemed that the old lady found it difficult to refute the ruthless interruption from her fellow church members.

However, from what she muttered, it could be seen that she was not easily defeated and was still praying for the bride's safe return.

As for this silence, the middle-aged man simply sneered repeatedly, the intensity of which was just enough to break through the cover of his hat.

All in all, the icebreaker was successful.

Not only did he obtain important information and props, but even the indigenous people were no longer indifferent to each other.

Although not everyone.

Following the path the bride had just walked, Fu Qian turned around for the last time before leaving the house, his eyes falling on a corner that was almost the darkest in the entire space.

Even in such an atmosphere of enthusiastic communication, there was still one person among the four who remained silent.

He is still the one who looks the most powerful.

He should be not much older than the bride, with short hair and dark eyes. His clothes are gray, but that does not prevent his muscular lines from being highlighted.

From just now until now, the person sitting on the ground did not even look at any part of the conversation. He just stared blankly at the candlestick on the side of the church, as if he had given up on life.

In view of this, Fu Qian fully respected the personal wishes and did not go forward to disturb him.

What's more, the other party's attitude is not completely without reference information.

Even in a sheltered place, he is still so discouraged. It can be said that his silence is more powerful than words, setting the tone for the entire scene.

From this, we can fully understand the strong psychological shadow brought by the darkness outside.

Anyone who wants to leave after seeing this would probably hesitate.

Fu Qian walked out.

……

The believers were not lying, the chapel did have a yard.

At the same time, their description of darkness does not seem exaggerated.

After just a few steps, the candlelight from the building was swallowed up by the darkness, and the intensity was reduced to the point where it lost its meaning to ordinary people's vision.

Although the troubles will not be so exaggerated when dealing with it, it is not without impact.

The omnipresent darkness was so dense that it almost felt like a sticky blood clot, to the point that perception was suppressed to a considerable degree.

The final result is that Fu Qian cannot get an answer to the question of whether the bride will go further this time and whether she is still in the yard.

But it doesn’t matter. We are not sure whether she went out or not, but we can be sure whether we went out or not.

Without hesitation, Fu Qian stepped straight onto a cobblestone road.
