Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Noise (10)_1 Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Noise (10)_1 “So soon!”
Fu Qian’s statement clearly surprised Veheler.
Marco, observing his right hand with its odd aura, appeared even more on guard.
“Don’t worry, it’s just harder to maintain that form from earlier,” Fu Qian reassured his colleagues, raising his hand in front of him.
The next moment, his bizarrely radiant right hand slowly became translucent again, and the aura of the curse was somewhat suppressed.
However, this only lasted a few seconds before it returned to its previous state.
“That’s the situation, it’s hard to maintain the form, and under these conditions, the spread of the curse has clearly accelerated,” Fu Qian commented without much frustration, then looked up at Veheler.
“So when can I expect help from Ya Yu at the earliest?”
…
Of course, this erratic display was all an act by Fu Qian.
Though he had felt the power he obtained from Camus become unstable since a while ago, the dissipation was not this swift.
The change just now was the result of him voluntarily releasing it.
His purpose for doing so was simple, to dispel Veheler’s doubts.
In Fu Qian’s view, this demigod whom he was meeting for the first time was far superior in both power and cunning compared to Marco who was beside him.
From the previous explanation alone, Fu Qian was not optimistic enough to think that this individual had no suspicions about him.
Especially regarding such an action involving great significance, now that he “heard” about the plan, this person’s wariness would undoubtedly be at its peak.
Thus, being present here and now, he was without a doubt dancing on a knife’s edge.
One misstep and it would be a 1v3 situation.
A full house of Divine Envoy, Demigod, and Fourth Phase Transcendent at that.
This was also why Fu Qian did not choose to put his gloves back on, which would have allowed him to bet on the mask’s ability to conceal his aura and hope that the others wouldn’t notice, despite having the chance.
Knowing that they were suspicious, how could he make such a show of weakness?
Therefore, he opted for the opposite approach, intentionally revealing a flaw.
There was another reason for doing this–Fu Qian was quite interested in the mysterious demigod Ya Yu.
Being able to wield a method such as the Godblood Curse so casually indicated that Ya Yu was no simple character.
“…I can only try to contact him, but considering he probably doesn’t want to be disturbed right now, I cannot be certain when I’ll receive a response,” Veheler finally said after some hesitation.
Doesn’t want to be disturbed, huh?
Fu Qian nodded.
“Then I’ll leave it to you,” he said.
“It’s only right, considering your injury was sustained during the mission,” Veheler replied.
“Besides, we’re all on the same side here; there’s no risk of being discovered. Why don’t you remove the mask since it has such severe side effects?” Veheler went from being courteous to suddenly posing a direct question.
Good question.
Watching Ariel and Marco become suddenly vigilant, Fu Qian chuckled deeply.
“It’s too late.”
He had already prepared an answer for such an obvious question.
“To prevent any mishaps on the way here, I wore the mask the entire time; some effects have now become hard to reverse,” he explained, shaking his head as he observed his hand.
“Moreover, wearing the mask for a while, I found that the will of the demigod is not completely useless.”
“It seems to slow the spread of the curse, at least.”
“Also…”
Fu Qian glanced at Marco.
“I’m old and different from the young; I don’t enjoy showing off my inhuman side, so I’ll keep it on.”
You…
Marco naturally detected the sarcasm in Fu Qian’s words, but the moment he wanted to react, he remembered his recent experience and gave a grunt, putting the greater good first.
“I’ll go and try to contact Ya Yu first.”
Witnessing this latent conflict, Veheler simply took a deep breath and didn’t offer any more opinions.
“Then I’ll take my leave as well.”
Seeing this, Marco suddenly said.
“Where are you going?”
Surprised by his statement, Veheler asked with a frown.
“Cross Square.”
Answering his question with a fierce smile, Marco gave an irresistible reason.
“To familiarize myself with the environment for action tomorrow.”
“Then go, but make sure to avoid any conflicts.”
Confronted with this reasonable request, Veheler only gave a warning and said no more.
After throwing a provocative glance at Fu Qian, Marco quickly strode away.
Veheler followed suit and left behind him. Suddenly, the living room was left with just Fu Qian and Ariel, and the atmosphere fell into silence.
“Mr. Camus, your mask is quite interesting. Can you tell me where you got it from?”
After Fu Qian acted deep for ten seconds, the golden-haired Divine Envoy Ariel finally broke the silence, looking at him with a smile.
“Of course.”
Looking at the person before him, Fu Qian felt a bit unease.
If it weren’t for their previous encounter, it would be hard to believe that this was the clever student Ariel.
But the smarter he was, the more terrifying it became.
The thoughts of intelligent people are easy to predict; one can guide and respond, but the clever Chinese Room operates on a completely different level.
Especially since he possessed terrifying destructive power.
“The original owner of this mask was a lady. Because of an origin event seven years ago, she gave it to me.”
“According to her, the power of this mask comes from the Dark Moon.”
“As for the demigod’s will inside, it should belong to someone named Sage.”
“How he perished remains unknown, but judging from the remaining consciousness, the Sage seemed quite young, and his abilities were mainly based on physical strength, quite ferocious and brutal.”
“Sage…”
Ariel was undoubtedly listening very carefully and thoughtfully repeated after Fu Qian finished speaking.
“Speaking of young souls, they are always enviable attributes at any time!”
At this moment, Fu Qian sighed and continued to speak to Ariel.
“Just like your excellency, far beyond what my decaying mind could compare.”
“But rest assured.”
Fu Qian’s tone sounded very determined.
“Unlike Marco, as long as I can stabilize my condition, I will definitely rush to the docks first thing tomorrow to help, aiming to take down the God of Hubbub as swiftly as possible.”
However, faced with Fu Qian’s sincere speech, Ariel just gazed at him, emotionless, making it hard to guess what was going through his mind.

This sensation of nearly triggering a killing machine was indeed thrilling and dangerous!
In the face of such scrutiny, Fu Qian also leaned back in his chair without moving, and the surroundings once again succumbed to silence.
Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard. It was Veheler returning.
His gaze moved between Ariel and Fu Qian, finally settling on Fu Qian’s face, as he slowly spoke.
“Ya Yu will arrive in a moment.”
