Facing an Ancient God for a Year-Chapter 396 - Traceless Deep Sea_1

Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Traceless Deep Sea_1

The size of the bracelet was basically the same as the entrance at the back of the eyeball.

And the moment the two contacted, the latter reacted swiftly.

Starting from the entrance, it gradually became semi-transparent, clearly revealing the blood-stained vitreous body within.

Immediately afterward, this semi-transparent gel encapsulated the bracelet.

Fu Qian loosened his grip, allowing the bracelet to slowly sink into the eyeball.

No dreadful incident occurred, the bracelet didn’t even stir a ripple, and the eyeball’s semi-transparent condition soon disappeared.

Just like that, it’s gone?

Remembering the introduction of the Starry Prism, Fu Qian leaned in, staring into the large pupil of the latter.

No reaction at all?

Frowning, Fu Qian continued to watch stubbornly, not missing even the slightest detail in the iris.

And after half a minute of staring contest, Fu Qian finally accepted the harsh reality.

His 180,000 had vanished into thin air, without causing so much as a splash.

Damn it!

Fu Qian let out a long sigh to the heavens, not losing his sanity to the point of striking the eyeball, but rather pondering over the reason.

Could it be that the medicinal power wasn’t enough?

Based on previous experiences, these Transcendent objects also had a hierarchy among themselves.

For instance, the time he inadvertently praised the sun and caused the birth of a stone lion, which was obviously very fragile and disintegrated the moment it entered the warehouse.

Therefore, it was very likely that the level of this bracelet wasn’t very high either.

Fortunately, he still had other resources, Fu Qian turned to look.

The next moment, he snatched up the large Standing Mirror, along with the photo attached to it, and directly faced it towards the gigantic eyeball.

In fact, he was quite curious about how the eyeball would swallow this thing.

Soon, he got his answer, as the eyeball once again turned semi-transparent and started stretching wildly from the rear entrance, in all directions, until it pulled itself into a membrane, and then rapidly crawled onto the surface of the mirror.

Once the latter was completely enveloped, the mirror began to dissolve rapidly like rock candy and ultimately shrank to the shape of an eyeball.

Incredible!

Fu Qian clicked his tongue in admiration while leaning in once more.

This time, there was finally a change.

Nearly in an instant, the giant pupil in front of Fu Qian constricted to a point.

At the same time, his perspective underwent some strange shift, and an enigmatic image appeared before his eyes.

The ocean?

Fu Qian was momentarily stunned.

He saw very clearly, in the image was an endless expanse of black waters.

Under a canopy of stars, boundless waves undulated, interlacing to form a peculiar pattern of ripples.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

What the hell—

Fu Qian widened his eyes, not missing any detail.

Sadly, still, he found no other points of reference.

And not giving him much more time, the image of water and starlight quickly shattered into foam, and the enormous pupil reappeared before his eyes.

Is that it?

If he had to make sense of it, could it be said that the clue related to this mirror was located somewhere in the ocean?

It wasn’t too far-fetched of an idea, but the problem was which ocean?

There were no points of reference, just this one scene. Are you playing Geoguessr with this?

And to top it all off, it’s on extreme difficulty!

Fu Qian exhaled deeply, restraining the urge to stuff everything else inside and blow up the eyeball. He simply activated the mark on his wrist.

Regardless, there was still a bit of a gain.

Once home, Fu Qian immediately found paper and pen, and began to draw from memory, making changes as he went.

After a full half hour, Fu Qian finally put down his pen and picked up his work.

A starry sky sprang forth on the paper.

It had been mentioned before, Fu Qian’s memory was pretty good, so upon realizing that the situation was screwed up, he decided to focus his attention on the night sky.

Therefore, he was quite confident about the accuracy of this star chart.

In comparison, he hadn’t been so obsessive as to memorize each wave, so the sea below was merely represented by an expanse of water.

Studying his catch, Fu Qian realized an overlooked problem just now—the reflection.

Although the sea was not entirely pitch-black, there was no reflection of any stars on the water’s surface.

No wonder it had felt a bit odd.

Unfortunately, aside from that, by scrutinizing his drawing for a long time, Fu Qian found nothing more.

Because he found himself unfamiliar with this starry sky.

He had never been much of an astronomy enthusiast, not to mention that the starry skies of these two worlds were different.

But that was not a problem.

After thinking for a moment, Fu Qian activated the mark again.

Returning to the warehouse, he swiftly found the Emissary’s Mask and put it on.

After waking up from the second floor of the bookstore, Fu Qian once again found paper and pen and repeated the process.

With the experience from last time, things went much smoother.

Several minutes later, he left with a piece of paper in hand, heading straight for the Night Watchmen Base.

…

“Mr. Fang, how come you have so much free time lately?”

Unfortunately, this time Yuan Shan wasn’t very professional, and Fu Qian had to wait in her office for almost an hour before she finally showed up, late.

Realizing her expression was somewhat stiff, Fu Qian then recalled that it had only been two days since he last encountered Su Gao here.

Of course, her stiffness was nothing compared to his secretary’s. During the wait, Xiao Ming almost didn’t dare to breathe, seemingly on the verge of exhibiting symptoms of oxygen deprivation.

“I need your help with something.”

Hmm?

Yuan Shan was already wearing a solemn expression, and upon hearing Fu Qian’s words, she couldn’t help but become even more cautious and tentative in tone.

“What do you need help with?”

“I need to find a place.”

“…You should’ve said that earlier.”

Yuan Shan was at first startled, then visibly relaxed, leaning back in her chair.

“Don’t worry, I can’t vouch for anything else, but if the Night Watchmen can’t find a place, I guarantee no one else can—”

Splat!

Before she could finish, upon seeing the drawing handed over by Fu Qian, Yuan Shan nearly spewed out blood.

“What are you asking me to find?”

Her hand holding the paper was trembling.

“Just this place, I need to know what this place is.”

Fu Qian put forth his request very calmly.

One must liberate their thinking and learn to delegate tasks, it’s the first quality of a leader.

“But there’s clearly nothing here, it’s just a sea!”

Yuan Shan was almost on the verge of yelling.

“Young people should not emphasize difficulties, but focus on solutions.”

“Within a week, I want all the information about this place.”

Applying appropriate pressure is also one of a leader’s qualities.

…

Looking at Yuan Shan’s expression, as uncomfortable as constipation, Fu Qian sighed and shook his head.

“When this is done, I’ll give you a one-time voucher for my intervention.”

Providing the right incentive is also necessary.

After all, under the promise of empty checks, there will be brave men.

“Actually…”

In the tense silence, Yuan Shan, after a long pause, finally spoke.

“I actually have something I need your help with right now.”

“Hmm?”

Fu Qian looked at her with some surprise.

It seems that people these days are not so easily fooled, eschewing a million-year salary and insisting on being paid daily.

“Let’s hear it.”
