Deceiving

[Sanity Value -1, Entering Containment Scene]

Fu Qian reached out and touched the Mist Door that reappeared in the warehouse.

This time, Fu Qian didn't make any small moves and honestly followed the White Porcelain Woman Su Gao outside.

Stepping out of the building, Fu Qian realized what Su Gao's "not good" meant.

It looked like it should have been a bustling street, but unfortunately, there wasn't a soul in sight.

The most striking thing was overhead.

The originally blue sky was now completely covered by mysterious turtle-shell-like patterns, like a giant umbrella had been placed over it.

Is this an Evil God's descent?

Seeing this scene, he understood why Su Gao and the others were so tense.

As for why there was no one on the street, Fu Qian had probably already guessed the answer.

"Have all the personnel been evacuated?"

Fu Qian turned his head and asked.

"Only the part that could be evacuated,"

Su Gao's voice was low.

"We received a mission to investigate, but we came too late.

In this area close to the source of the pollution, the mutations have already begun, and the cursed citizens have started transforming into a deformed state.

Considering the risk, my teammates and I... are carrying out a cleanup."

"Your decision is correct. If it were me, I would do the same."

Fu Qian didn't blame them; instead, he directly expressed his agreement.

The situation was clear. Ms. Su Gao and her teammates had received a mission to investigate and discovered severe pollution and curses here.

After evacuating the people on the outskirts, they were forced to clean up the citizens who were beyond saving.

This also explained his previous encounter, being attacked without a word.

No wonder the woman had a broken expression; she had clearly been emotionally overwhelmed.

They currently defined the incident as a severe pollution curse, but they probably didn't know about the Evil God's Progeny yet.

This was what was mentioned in the initial introduction: "They still don't know what they are facing."

The good news was that, at present, this beauty and her teammates basically shared the same goal as him.

However, gaining their trust would not be easy.

"Actually, I'm the same!"

Before Su Gao could speak again, Fu Qian snorted and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

"I've also been contaminated."

As soon as he said this, a cold glint flashed in Su Gao's eyes.

But in the end, her hand, which was holding the knife, didn't move.

Fu Qian seemed not to notice her movement.

"I accidentally discovered something unusual here before and came to investigate, but I didn't expect the curse to be so insidious."

"I can barely suppress it from acting up right now, but I won't last long. I'll tell you when I need you to make a move later."

"But before that, I need to fulfill my responsibility..."

If he wanted these people to listen to his arrangements, pretending to be a supernatural being was very necessary.

But they were all professionals, and they wouldn't be fooled by the power aura he displayed.

At this time, he needed to find an excuse for his poor condition.

While Fu Qian was trying to deceive them, he soon saw several people rushing over from different directions.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and thin, with sharp eyes gleaming on his dark, gaunt face.

"What's the situation?"

The moment he saw Fu Qian, the middle-aged man frowned and couldn't help but ask Su Gao.

"There can be no mercy in this operation. Otherwise, it could result in the deaths of thousands or tens of thousands of people."

"Captain!"

Su Gao nodded to him and pointed to Fu Qian beside her.

"We found him over there. He claims to have come to investigate the anomaly as well."

Came to investigate? The middle-aged man looked at Fu Qian with surprise and uncertainty.

That's right!

Fu Qian's expression was more natural than nature itself.

"Su Gao just told me, the situation is worse than we imagined. We should hurry."

"What are you? There are four official Night Watchers here, and your power feels like that of an ordinary person. Who do you think you are to give orders?"

However, before the Captain could speak, a buzz cut man behind him eagerly stepped forward.

Fu Qian glanced at him. This man looked much younger and was very powerfully built.

His hair stood on end, and despite the not-so-warm weather, he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

Like the others, he was covered in bloodstains, and his expression was fierce and savage.

He was clearly in a killing frenzy; he looked like he'd attack anyone at the slightest disagreement.

"Without further ado, let's talk as we walk."

However, Fu Qian ignored him and continued speaking to the Captain.

"Captain, this person's state is suspicious. He's likely been contaminated. I believe he should be eliminated immediately."

The ignored Buzz Cut Man's eyes turned blood red, and he prepared to attack Fu Qian.

"That's right, I have indeed been cursed."

Fu Qian replied, startling everyone.

"You can't feel it now because I'm barely suppressing it from acting up, but the price is that I have almost no combat power."

Here.

Fu Qian gently raised his hand, and an Air Bullet shot from his fingertip, hitting a nearby streetlight.

"I can only offer a little bit of insignificant help."

He's actually a transcender!

Including Su Gao, the Captain and the others were all shocked.

Regardless, such a feat was definitely not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

The Captain's gaze flickered to Su Gao, hoping she would provide more information.

However, Su Gao was clearly in a bad mood and stood there like a puppet, ignoring the Captain's hopeful gaze.

Finally, the Captain hesitated and stopped the restless Buzz Cut Man.

"Since we all have the same goal, that's good. May I ask your name?"

Perfect!

When the other party asked this, Fu Qian knew the matter was settled.

"You can call me Fu Qian."

He remained outwardly calm.

"Since you've been investigating for a while, have you confirmed the source of the contamination?"

At this moment, one of the middle-aged man's team members, an Old Man who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

So difficult, his hair has turned white like this, and he's still on an external mission!

Fu Qian glanced at the older Night Watcher. Compared to the others, his eyes appeared more weary.

Good question!

Fu Qian sighed.

"This is why I said we don't have much time."

"We need to stop that thing from descending as soon as possible."

Descending? That thing?

Everyone was startled.

"That's right," Fu Qian said with a sincere expression.

"The source of the contamination comes from an extremely high-ranking evil being."

"What you're seeing now is merely a small leak of its power."

"I can tell you responsibly, if that thing truly descends, the consequences will be unimaginable."

For example, my mission will have to be redone!

Fu Qian added silently in his heart.

After he finished speaking, the Night Watchers exchanged glances.

After a moment of silence, the Captain coughed.

"Then I won't hide anything either. We are the Night Watcher team for this region. Not long ago, we received a report that there was an abnormal situation and a large-scale casualty incident in this area. Upon arrival, we found the situation to be quite serious. After emergency evacuation of the people, we had to take some necessary measures--"

"I completely understand. I would have done the same."

Fu Qian interrupted him directly, telling him not to have any psychological burden.

"I deeply understand the horror of this curse. After fulfilling my own responsibilities, I need you to help me be freed."

What a hero!

Even the Captain was moved at this point, feeling Fu Qian's presence was more majestic than ever.
