Chapter 634: 634 Chapter Gazing_1 Chapter 634: 634 Chapter Gazing_1 Dark desires flowing from the human heart, forming a night darker than night itself?
Interesting.
If I sort out the timeline, one thing is certain: the Night Potion appeared before the first Desecration of the Sun.
So, a simple logic suggests it was intended to be at the core of the plan, meaning that Gulad’s people believed it was a means to an end.
However, because of their own act of desecrating the sun, Gulad’s bunch decisively gave up on confronting the new city official and instead started to behave more discretely, opting for limited private distribution.
There are two explanations for this behavior. The first is that they were inspired and completely changed their strategy.
The second possibility is that the phenomena they demonstrated before made them think that limited distribution was enough.
Right now, the second possibility clearly seems much larger.
In other words, the scene before us is the miniaturized version of what Gulad wanted to achieve.
It’s indeed strange, but this thing isn’t very sophisticated; it’s hard to imagine it could support an ascension ritual for a Divine Envoy.
Under the full moon, on a special Night of Nights, could the purpose be to get “noticed” by the progenitor?
“Flowing?”
Clearly puzzled by Fu Qian’s comments, Grantham couldn’t help but speak up.
This impeccably doubtful expression was either due to his top-tier Actor’s talent, or because he too underestimated the scene before him.
Fu Qian glanced at Grantham, making a judgment in his mind.
“Yes, even though the behavior of this group is a bit eye-watering and their shamelessness is off the charts, it’s quite apparent that their emotions haven’t fluctuated as a result, and their actions switch without any logic.”
Fu Qian tried to reach out his hand; it was instantly enveloped by darkness, feeling as though there was something even deeper than night spreading around.
“Just like emotionless machines, they wander through a mess of chaotic commands, doing whatever they receive.”
“Even the stream of information seems to be formed by themselves.”
Fu Qian watched as the crowd danced wildly, with some already pulling out their own teeth.
Although weird, it was still human behavior after all.
“Deep desires, born in the invisible corners of the human heart, flow out with each breath beneath this graceful demeanor, gathering into clouds, and then inhaled by others.”
“Like a stirred-up sediment floating into the air, quite a sensation when you think about it!”
…
As Fu Qian elaborately described, Yuan Shan’s expression almost visibly hardened, and Grantham’s face also twisted gradually.
“Isn’t that an exaggeration? Could it be that their inner dark side is just amplified?”
“After all, the Bloodline Clan undergoes some special changes under the full moon, both physically and mentally.”
This person, stubbornly defending, evidently unwilling to admit the situation described by Fu Qian, even extended his own hand to display it.
Under the reddish moonlight, his exposed skin actually became somewhat hazy.
Looking closely, one could even see twinkling stars, full of an illusory effect.
Not only was there a change in appearance, but even compared to during the banquet, his Momentum seemed much stronger.
“You might want to save some energy for later, to explain slowly.”
But Yuan Shan wasn’t really buying it. The sights she had seen on the way here, coupled with the weird scene before her eyes, clearly had her boiling with anger.
Including the dark flow described by Fu Qian, she was also beginning to feel it vaguely.
This was definitely not some simple full moon blessing!
Thump!
With several consecutive sounds, a few of the most exaggerated figures in the crowd suddenly collapsed and struggled on the spot.
However, the strands of black lines entwined around their bodies quickly rendered them immobile.
Chief Yuan took decisive action, delivering a dimensionality-reducing strike.
Unfortunately, it was clear that this was a case of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, as Fu Qian watched helplessly while another person laid down to pull out a tooth.
Luckily, if the efficiency was high enough, treating the symptoms would be sufficient.
Soon, the group of Midnight Wanderers fell down like a swath of rice, unable to move.
Even so, there wasn’t a single sound from them, and they lay stiffly, full of eeriness.
“Grantham, I need a way to put an end to this.”
Watching the crowd that continued to converge towards them, Yuan Shan said coldly.
“…Although it’s a bit special, it indeed seems to be the influence of the full moon. We can only control it temporarily until the full moon is over.”
Grantham hesitated slightly, then steeled himself and said.
“Ember might have a way, but unfortunately, it seems he has also disappeared.”
“I will notify others to come here right now to assist in searching.”
Being a mediator isn’t easy!
Seeing Grantham was clearly buying time, Fu Qian thought to himself.
From these reactions, he could deduce that the current situation was still somewhat within expectation. For instance, the dark gathering caused by the crowd might be more exaggerated than he thought.
In such a situation, as long as there wasn’t too big of an issue with this group of people, Grantham wouldn’t likely shift position easily.
“To find Ember…”
Faced with this insincere suggestion, Yuan Shan sneered repeatedly, her expression murderous.
But before she could let Grantham feel her anger, a new abnormality appeared before their eyes.
The once gloomy estate was suddenly illuminated.
Looking up, the moon that was merely tinged with red had now turned a deep blood red.
The rich crimson glow was almost tangible, pouring down from above and enveloping everything around it.
This… It seemed quite different from before.
Not only did the previously misty and dark sediment start to move like a storm.
But it also mixed with something distinctly unpleasant.
It was as if the originally chilly place had suddenly turned rotten and muggy.
Under the assault, the people pinned to the ground found their strength to struggle increased tremendously.
In the midst of a tearing sound, someone had already ripped open their own throat with bare hands.
From the wound, exposed flesh could be seen pulsating, yet the person’s face was filled with satisfaction.
At the same time, in the blood-mist-like night sky, a figure glided out of the darkness and landed on the ground.
A Middle Tier standard, the characteristic huge bat wings, it was clearly Grantham’s arrangement.
However, the figure that landed staggered after just a couple of steps.
The next moment, with a shriek, he actually lunged towards the ground.
Unfortunately, he didn’t reach the ground, as if he had hit something, the whole person was flung away.
“Your man seems to have gone mad too.”
Chief Yuan was not one to be trifled with, and she didn’t give this assailant a chance.

This…
Witnessing this scene, Grantham’s face finally showed alarm.
Before he could say anything, Fu Qian also suddenly reached out his hand, grabbing towards a certain spot.
A mass of darkness was actually torn off by him, trembling and struggling wildly, but no matter what, it couldn’t escape Fu Qian’s grasp and eventually dissipated unwillingly.
“It’s not just his man; there are other things.”
