Chapter 1827: Chapter 1802: The Unfeeling Corner

A fruitless search is also a form of gain.

Though his words were indeed a bit inciting, Fu Qian was not aimlessly rambling.

At this moment, the two were located in the underground section of the main building of the Benevolence Institute.

Columns, stone slabs, carvings... to be fair, it even looked more majestic and solemn than the side at the Heaven’s Commencement Institute.

But that’s about it; first, it’s unclear if the tutors of the Benevolence Institute took all useful items home, as everything seems notably empty at first glance.

Secondly, it’s clearly already the lowest layer, with no further space below.

Couple this with the deep pit before them, it felt as though Lord Angel of the prison knew his time was near and specifically chose this feng shui spot to sit and await the meteor’s arrival.

So much so that when the Destiny Meteor struck, it was so fierce that even the dangerous remnants that might have been left from a Second Order Extraordinary’s death were utterly smashed away, leaving only mundane debris devoid of extraordinary power.

It sounds reasonable, and the logic flows smoothly.

If that’s truly the case, then Su Gao could have written her report by now.

Unfortunately, Fu Qian didn’t quite believe it.

A very simple reason, if one were really so resigned, the meteor might not have come down at all.

The will to survive could have lasted fifty-nine hours, so there’s no need to pretend to face death with equanimity.

The only problem now is that the pit, which looks like the source of the explosion, doesn’t emit any special feeling and merely resembles a giant bird’s nest.

Whether viewed with the perception of a Second Order Extraordinary or with Demigod Su’s Echo Power.

"Some remnants are still in Stealth State?"

Sure enough, even Su Gao, who wasn’t aware of any scar fear effects, didn’t think things would be that simple.

After closely observing for a moment, she proposed her own hypothesis.

"The meteor only touches its target without affecting other things, which seems to imply that the target’s state differs from other things."

With thoughtful curiosity, she bent down to pick up a gray feather.

"When attacked, he temporarily departed the real world in some manner, but it didn’t work, and he was unable to maintain it at the moment of collapse, which is why these things are left behind to impact the surroundings?"

Seeing Mr. Fu listening attentively, Su Gao continued to explain her reasoning without holding back.

"A reasonable guess, and given the previous encounter, the Prison Angel Commander indeed possesses rather exaggerated stealth abilities.

So the next question is why would he choose to be here?"

Without hesitating to admire, Fu Qian didn’t explicitly address the remnant hypothesis but posed a new question.

As mentioned before, he did not believe that the Prison Angel Commander would resign to fate, but would struggle to the very end instead.

Thus, the question follows: while this place is majestic and the underground depth sufficient, it’s essentially just a large building, too inadequate to block a meteor.

"...because it felt insufficient?

It can achieve an extremely high level of stealth anywhere, but it deemed this inadequate to counter the mark you applied, and this place could help him do better."

Professor Fu undoubtedly provided important information, guiding step by step, and with some thought, Su Gao attempted to respond.

"And it indeed did better, as up until now, neither of us has discovered anything special, have we?"

Lightly leaping to the other side of the pit, Fu Qian surveyed the surroundings while nodding.

...

Worthy of the Executioner Group’s elite, once the target is determined, Su Gao, besides her astonishing hunting intuition, possesses a rather clear thought process.

Fu Qian quite agrees with her previous deductions.

The few things pending discussion are merely because she didn’t directly participate in the prior events, lacking some firsthand impressions.

For example, those Destiny Meteors descending from the sky have a lock-on tracking effect; as the initiator and observer throughout, Fu Qian seemed to feel their destructive nature targeted solely at the subject.

Meaning even if the Prison Angel Commander didn’t hide and had a live meteor catching show for the Academy people, the only one likely affected would still be him.

"Makes sense, so what we might need to find now is a special space beyond perception."

Encouraged, Su Gao remained vigilant, her gaze following Fu Qian’s movements, examining the surroundings together.

"It’s nearby, beneath this building, where that deceased Angel Leader originally hid trying to escape, but failed... maybe the Benevolence Institute’s tutors might know some related information?"

Clearly, her thinking is not rigid, showing full willingness to gather efforts from all parties.

"Perhaps, but hopes aren’t high; in my view, the person most likely aware has long left."

Fu Qian naturally referred to Nepheli, sensing she, the former headmaster of the Benevolence Institute, most likely held more hidden knowledge compared to others.

As for the reason... it’s simple, she was the only one who fled.

It’s said that more knowledge can be subversive, and pulling off such an incredible act undoubtedly requires justification.

Of course, everything Su Gao said is entirely correct; once outside, we must definitely attempt to gather more information on this matter.

"That kind of meteor is definitely accessible right now, but there’s an order of action; it must lock onto its target before they enter, right?"

At this point, Su Gao is still mulling over in her mind.

As the only successful example so far, the meteor is not a difficult means to think of, but she clearly leans towards not bothering Professor Fu much.

"That’s right, theoretically, to find that place via meteors, one must first identify that place, or alternatively, simply try and hit it from here, though that requires quite a waiting time."

Fu Qian, as usual, was blunt, explaining while emphasizing the objective challenges.

Of course, if truly helping find such a place, he had plenty of techniques at his disposal.

Eternal Clarity Mind, Mythical Form, Brilliant Tyrant, and even Blood Conquest could be tried.

But as Su Gao instinctively did, there’s a difference between openly participating and dominating the investigation, which influences the perception it creates.

"Understood."

Listening intently, Su Gao slightly nodded, apparently without any feelings of disappointment, then turned to focus on the feather she just picked up and the sword in her hand, deep in thought.

The next moment, the feather quietly drifted from her fingertips before a sharp blade split it neatly in two before it hit the ground.

Her gaze was calm and serene, as if savoring the tactile experience.

Su Gao’s actions weren’t done yet; she swiftly cut another feather that was stirred up during movement.
