Chapter 3016: Flawless Detection Assembly

Besides sterilizing, ultraviolet light could also be used to distinguish the genuine from the fake.

When a higher entity made a move, it always meant achieving multiple benefits with one move. How could the dignified Mechanical Tyrant forget this principle?

Revealing his mastery over the Law right to their faces just to disinfect a leather jacket was still a bit extravagant.

The other reason for casting the Decree of Return in front of Old Man Logan was to see his reaction under the halo's illumination.

You get what you pay for. Since His Excellency Chaumont had taken a political risk to sell him the leather jacket, helping to clear up a little of the man's confusion was only reasonable, right?

Not to mention, Fu Qian was curious himself.

As for how he knew the Decree of Return would be effective?

Frankly, he hadn't been entirely certain. It was simply the optimal attempt after weighing all his options.

He couldn't forget his current situation. This was a Hongmen banquet; he needed to treat it with appropriate seriousness.

As a player already engaged in rapid flip-flopping along the Night Watchers' execution threshold, activating Resplendent Tyrant right in front of them would likely result in a rather spectacular scene.

If he did that, he wouldn't just lose the chance to examine Old Man Logan's condition—he would probably trigger an all-out slaughter on the spot.

And as mentioned before, out of all four halos, the Decree of Return was the mildest. The group's reaction proved this; even though they recognized this Power of Law, they hadn't reflexively shifted into a combat stance.

As for why he had to use a halo instead of some other method?

Simple. Professor Fu never underestimated the heroes of this world.

His Excellency Chaumont standing before him could be considered the lead director of Old Man Logan's entire treatment process.

He wasn't just the most knowledgeable about the patient's condition—he was backed by the entire resource network of the Night Watchers, and was even recognized by the Needle Witch for his "broad knowledge."

Yet despite those credentials, he still hadn't noticed any underlying issues. Ultimately, he had been forced to set aside his pride and seek help from the very target of this Hongmen banquet.

That alone spoke volumes about how thorny the problem was and how deeply hidden the anomaly lay.

Without using the Burial Scroll, Fu Qian didn't think he could be any more perceptive.

If he truly wanted to help, he had to see what unique, high-precision equipment he had on his side.

And the Commandment Residue was at the very top of that list.

Ever since he embodied the Pseudo-Law Core, the handful of halos that had their underlying code rewritten had proven their sheer value time and time again.

As long as they were in the right domain, they displayed Law Grade sublimity. If he possessed any detection method that could surpass His Excellency Chaumont's, this felt like the most likely candidate.

Furthermore, paired with this high-end testing equipment was a high-precision "Vision Radar."

Yes, there were clearly no visible changes, so why did he still conclude that something was wrong?

The answer was that no matter how flawless the disguise, the "Calamity Health Bar" under the Vision Radar still exposed what made His Excellency Logan different from everyone else—it hadn't budged an inch.

Under the influence of the Decree of Return, this man was shockingly pure, to the point where he required absolutely no "purification."

...

It made sense why Old Man Henry disliked the Birthday Party so much.

Even with his card-drawing and fortune-telling, staying here too long still seemed to invite some minor negative influences.

Fu Qian certainly wasn't deliberately finding fault, trying to claim there was a problem when the instruments showed none.

This was like running an EKG. A living person would always have a bit of fluctuation. If you saw a perfectly copied and pasted heart rhythm, it would feel like a synthetic replica instead.

The entire set of testing equipment wasn't just aimed at His Excellency Logan; it had scanned the others as well.

Under the Vision Radar, he could see that even Su Gao's Calamity Health Bar had crept up slightly after receiving the glow of the Decree of Return, as if some trauma had been faintly healed. As for Chaumont and Old Man Stoss, the effect was even more pronounced.

For a player who hadn't even reached Tier 2, His Excellency Logan's performance could no longer be described as mere emotional stability.

"Why?"

Though he had harbored an ominous premonition from the start, the test results Fu Qian provided seemed to deal a heavy blow to Chaumont.

Yet, as someone who had long held a high position, he regained his composure in a flash and pressed Fu Qian to confirm the reason.

"That move I just used could be considered to have a certain purifying and healing effect.

"But Logan's condition is a little too stable. As I see it, he's already outside the bounds of normalcy. Don't you think?"

Fu Qian didn't hide anything; he directly laid out his reasoning and asked for the other man's diagnosis.

"Yes... Logan's treatment went smoothly. Far smoother than I imagined."

After pondering for only a moment, Chaumont dropped his pursuit of Fu Qian's actions at the Unseen Hill and joined the consultation.

"Originally, it was a relatively desperate attempt. For a loss of control that couldn't be more textbook, even the Council President stated there was little to be done.

"The process itself wasn't even particularly smooth. After our meeting with you, we also departed the Unseen Hill shortly after."

And the situation he described was indeed quite similar to what Fu Qian had imagined.

Moreover, he could tell that the opinion of this Council President—who had yet to return—was highly respected.

"Yet, a miraculous thing occurred. From the moment we returned to this place, Logan's condition entered a rapid recovery. Even his shattered consciousness gradually became whole.

"Throughout this entire process, his very physical form seemed to optimize. It's exactly as you noted—his complexion is better than anyone expected."

Chaumont described the entire process, ultimately tying back to their initial greeting.

"Like he was assembled in a more logical way?"

Not wanting to make the old man do all the work, Fu Qian casually chimed in.

"...Exactly. It was like he was dismantled and put back together, and during that process, several minor fallacies were corrected."

Seemingly a bit "stunned" by the metaphor, Chaumont stared at Fu Qian's face and nodded a moment later.

"It's not that strange. After all, His Excellency Logan was a three-in-one to begin with."

Having rapidly reached a consensus, Fu Qian looked incredibly satisfied.

"This—how did you know that?"

Yet this remark clearly stimulated His Excellency Chaumont, causing his eyes to widen slightly.

'Hmph, what is there that this professor doesn't know? I saw it with my own eyes back then, alright.'

Though it was slightly morbid, Fu Qian hadn't brought it up for nothing.

The "three-in-one" naturally referred to His Excellency Logan's "one Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones." In his memory, the old man's medical treatment at the Unseen Hill had followed a clear procedure.

Specifically, under the scorching of the "fire," blood and bone were separately extracted from his body, ultimately transforming him into three independent entities.

No matter why he recovered so well, there still had to be a process to piece him back together, right?

As for Chaumont's shock, that was also simple. The mission had repeated once back then. In the encounter from his memory, Fu Qian had already left before Old Man Logan could split himself into three parts.

Of course, this reason was not something he could share with outsiders, so in response to his question—

At that moment, Fu Qian said nothing. He simply pulled the Glove off his right hand, revealing the scarlet tattoo beneath.
