Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1826: Chapter 1801: Purified Remains

Righteous and awe-inspiring.

This visit to the Academy, although the bookstore owner Fang Xun is an assistant, in the vision of the Night Watchman, the attention is certainly no small matter.

From the perspective of Chief Yuan, though he did not accompany, he is perhaps quite looking forward to the historic meeting between Boss Fang and Professor Fu as well.

So how should they meet?

Will Professor Fu remain behind closed doors, continuing the attitude previously conveyed to Li Weixuan, and not participate directly in these matters?

Or will Boss Fang show his face and then work behind the scenes, asking the elite of the Academy to help with the investigation?

Logically, there’s not much of a problem, but in terms of layout, it’s a different matter altogether.

Mr. Fu carries himself upright and sits with integrity, so why the need to cover anything up? Why not just accompany the Academy all the way openly?

As early as when accepting this task, Fu Qian had already determined the manner of appearance, which is to be straightforward and present the duo as one entity directly in front of the Night Watchman.

And judging from the current reaction, at least the Night Watchman in front of them is responding quite well.

The reason why Su Gao seems slightly relaxed is not hard to understand.

Traveling with her true face is one thing; previously, she was clearly worrying if she would be implicated because of her causing her identity to be exposed.

As a result, she directly chose such an open approach, clearly not needing too much concern in this aspect; everything is under control.

"It really feels different from other places, full of vitality at this time."

So much so that after relaxing, when Su Gao quickly stepped into the Academy’s vicinity, she even looked around and gave a good appraisal.

Vitality? That indeed seems so.

To this, Fu Qian immediately recalled those numerous research incidents, nodding in agreement.

"Actually, at this time, there’s a place even more vibrant than here. I’ll take you to have a look when there’s free time later."

Judging from Su Gao’s reaction, it was obviously her first time here. Fu Qian slightly nodded, unusually playing the role of being more familiar with the Academy.

...

Although the overall structure is loose and open, the core areas of the Academy do have certain security measures.

Especially after such events just happening less than a day ago.

Unfortunately, for two high-level Transcendents, even the enhanced guards are full of loopholes.

In casual conversation, Fu Qian and his companion have already deeply entered the Academy’s heart without alarming anyone, with a strong sense of a covert investigation.

As he casually introduced the surrounding layout to Su Gao, even some notable personnel configurations, the heavily ravaged Benevolence Institute building was soon in sight.

"It was pierced from the inside."

With the sky gradually brightening, the distance no longer hindered Su Gao’s observation of those ferocious marks, thereby making a judgment.

In the previous casual chat, she roughly understood the identity and reputation of Professor Fu at the Academy.

And completely believed that the other party would fully assist in the subsequent investigation in this capacity.

But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t do anything.

Leading the entire situation, allowing Mr. Fu to comfortably serve as an advisor, seemed quite necessary to Su Gao.

"Based on the information I’ve gathered, dozens of Transcendent category meteors once fell on it, but it seems there was no damage."

While observing the scene of the traces, Su Gao also shared the information she had.

"Fifty-seven."

In response, Fu Qian casually provided an accurate number while gesturing the arc of the meteor’s fall.

"Indeed, it didn’t cause any damage to anything else, but it was certainly not an illusion. Its impact on the target was unequivocal, and it seems that the one who was hit is already dead. These marks were left from the outburst before death."

"The genderless Featherless Angel?"

Clearly, the judgment in the documentation Su Gao has was not so definitive in this regard.

She naturally trusts Professor Fu’s words, and from his confident tone, she could tell that Professor Fu was equally sure that the meteor’s target was the one who launched the attack in Shangjing.

"Yes, but I, along with Chief Yuan, usually refer to him as the Lord Angel. After all, from the interaction, that person is at least in the Second Phase."

Fu Qian openly shared the information.

With Su Gao’s personally named investigation mission, how could one possibly be perfunctory?

Regardless of how one participates, ultimately this investigation needs to mobilize various resources from the Night Watchman, to understand aspects of angel beliefs and even vows, to reach its value.

It’s not just about going through the motions; she’s quite looking forward to the results.

"Moreover, such feathers, I’ve seen in a Forbidden Area named Wasteland, where there was also a huge mirror."

While speaking, they had already arrived nearby. Fu Qian pointed to the scattered gray feathers on the ground and continued the introduction.

Sensing that there were no human activities inside the building, it seems that Li Weixuan, as warned, did not act rashly.

In addition, given the Night Watchman’s amazing reaction speed, perhaps Su Gao and he were the first to go for the autopsy.

However, this doesn’t mean that the Academy hadn’t done anything. At least the bright-colored bands used by Professor Ah Kai last time to mark the Death Seed had already made a circuit around the entire building—

And none of the scattered feathers went beyond this range.

After all, it’s one of the four major institutions of the Academy. How could they just be idle?

Though there weren’t visible traces, it’s obvious that along with the bands, a barrier was set up here to stop the chaotic things inside from floating out.

The effect is stable, but the constraint is not strong.

The next moment, Fu Qian quietly passed through an invisible membrane, making a comment.

And Su Gao, without needing a summon, had already followed him inside.

Besides this layer of the barrier, there were also people watching outside, but detecting two high-level Transcendent deliberately avoiding detection is too demanding indeed.

"Usually, not many people are here. Most of the Benevolence Institute’s professors conduct research directly at their residences."

Walking through the building he had visited multiple times, Fu Qian casually introduced what Professor Ah Kai had previously shared.

And indeed, as the latter had said, the interior looked even messier.

Dense gray feathers had almost formed a mat underfoot, walking silently.

Apart from the original building structure, the outburst before the death of the Prison Angel Commander had made the interior more interconnected.

The ultimate traces, as expected, extended underground, and without communication, the two proceeded straight there.

"Have you noticed it?"

Soon after, facing a deep pit covered with feathers, as if an invisible flower had sprouted and bloomed from it, Fu Qian, deep in thought, turned and looked at Su Gao.

"Ah... no."

A bit surprised, but Su Gao honestly shook her head, indicating her own lack of perception.

"That’s normal, I didn’t either."
