Was this what they meant when they said everything happened for the best?
Following behind Yuan Shan, Fu Qian heard the new prompt ring in his ears, and felt even more satisfied.
The containment conditions had appeared directly, and, as expected, they were related to Midas.
For him, it was starting to feel more and more like home turf.
Even though the situation was still horrifically difficult.
After all, he might have to face the Performer in some way next, and he had no idea whether a little over a hundred points of Sanity Value would be enough.
Fu Qian looked up at the colorful night sky, lit by the streetlights, and seemed to glimpse a pair of eyes behind countless layers of space and time.
He was absolutely confident that the commotion from the mission would be noticed by Rainbow of Yao Bian.
That had been part of the plan all along.

The whole point of using this approach to tilt the odds in his favor was that he still had Transcendence in reserve.
If Rainbow of Yao Bian was powerful enough to know even about his skill, then the situation would be no worse than the worst-case scenario: hide somewhere and gamble on the outcome, only with an additional Superior Being in the way.
And if it couldn't know about Transcendence, then this trap wouldn't tempt him at all.
After all, given how many times they'd crossed paths, it should have realized he wasn't naive enough to think a little Sanity Value gave him a free chance to make mistakes.
