Chapter 2337: Chapter 2332: The List (19)
This night can indeed be described as lively and interesting.
Although all along the way, there is still no sign of the list being completed.
But Fu Qian is not at all annoyed; on the contrary, he is really curious about the contents of the next item.
A dying man’s terminal care... This mission compared to before can be considered a rather special experience.
Although he has blood on his hands and has sent many people on their way, few victims have really faced death with such a mindset.
And on Cardon’s body, there is not only the twilight aura mentioned earlier, but he is indeed trying to look at death, trying to bid farewell to this world.
The point of Fu Qian’s curiosity is here; it’s hard to imagine the warehouse took the trouble to send him over, and it would just let him do some terminal care.
The old man’s farewell behavior must have some significance and difficulty.
As analyzed earlier, Fu Qian appearing here indicates that finishing Cardon’s list is not so simple—where is the difficulty?
So far, all this, for a Mid-level Extraordinary, really doesn’t show any difficulty.
Including the "Reflection" that was just completed.
Throughout the process, Fu Qian was almost reckless, but on one hand, the old man seemed not to mind much, and on the other hand, there was no sign of mission failure.
These almost indicate that the task details are not strict, and the difficulty does not lie here.
So what does Cardon ultimately want to do? Fu Qian is increasingly inclined to learn more about the contents of his list.
Even the time spent earlier was not wasted, as he has already understood a bit about the old man—
A spirit-biased Transcendent, seemingly Awakened decades ago, during the journey to this place...
But this process made him miss caring for his father and watching the cat...
Years later, he returned here, seemingly treating it as his last stop in life, and made a list to make up for regrets...
He seems not to like his Transcendent self very much, so much so that the contents of the list seem to deliberately exclude the Transcendent elements—is it possible this is what Cardon wants to do?
That’s right, asking questions while making guesses has always been Fu Qian’s good habit.
To the extent that when he realized the old man was particularly conservative in displaying Transcendent Power, he couldn’t help but have a special thought—
The old man might want to return to simplicity before his death and be an ordinary person?
...
Theoretically possible, like the Fool Idol in his hand.
Fu Qian has always focused on combining theory and practice.
At this moment, in the warehouse, there lies an item that can wipe an Extraordinary clean.
But the possibility is really small because although the meaning behind the power of the "Fool" has not been figured out, Fu Qian does not think this effect can be found everywhere like cabbages.
And this contradiction makes the importance of the list suddenly highlight.
Don’t forget the requirements of the containment conditions; no matter how normal it looks, this alone is enough to prove the list is key.
All in all, Fu Qian is highly anticipating the upcoming content—
"Return to that hotel; this will be the last item."
And the result was surprising, as the Cardon in the back seat not only immediately gave a clear opinion but also directly stated it’s the final content.
Elegant.
At that moment, Fu Qian secretly praised and had already driven out the car.
"Do you know what I did there?"
Though he had not asked more, Cardon actively started speaking, pointing directly at the sensitive subject.
"Saw it, still a bit away from knowing."
Fu Qian did not change the subject, responding casually as well.
...
Saw the movement but not quite understanding the meaning.
Not only a direct response, but even expressing the meaning clearly.
Fu Qian’s honesty made Cardon pause in silence for a moment.
As soon as these words came out, the suspicion from the beginning was confirmed, and some behaviors became laughable...
"That old warehouse over there..."
Until the car was on the main road, Cardon finally spoke again, not surprisingly confirming another place.
"Don’t worry, I don’t mind this thing was stripped from a Dead Man."
Fu Qian responded by showing the chain pendant in his hand.
"I really can’t quite understand, but... thinking carefully, it surprisingly is not bad."
This time Cardon’s silence lasted longer, although he finally sighed, he didn’t seem too unhappy.
"...I don’t know that man’s real name; he called himself the Unjust."
Next, without explaining why he thought it was good, the old man turned to directly recalling past events.
"Remember I told you someone treated the old warehouse as a place for prayer? He was one of them, even a core figure.
"I am not sure what they believed in because as the Unjust told me, they prayed not to any upper-level Divine Beings, but to themselves—their true selves."
...
"So the Unjust’s meaning is still not the true self?"
The old man was so generous, Fu Qian naturally wouldn’t be rude. While driving, he slightly commented on his sharing.
For some more abstract mental circuits, his Empathy still has a few points.
"That’s right... It feels like if it were you, he would also gladly invite you to join."
Unable to refrain from gazing at the driver’s back, Cardon not only acknowledged Fu Qian’s statement but even gave a rather high evaluation.
"So he invited you back then?"
Fu Qian was not proud because of this and continued to extract the key information.
"Yes, but I refused."
This time Cardon responded quickly, with a slightly special tone.
"Why refuse?"
The conversation was entering a better stage, and Fu Qian was not polite.
"Because I don’t think their philosophy can achieve their desired result."
The old man amazingly answered all questions.
"Why can’t it be achieved?"
"Because I achieved it."
...
Oh?
Plain yet overwhelmingly powerful, Cardon’s words instantly sparked numerous imaginations.
"So when required to kiss his hand, I happened to verify my own gain and gave him a sublimation."
And before Fu Qian asked again, Cardon quickly confessed, admitting the act of murder without reservation.
"But it is precisely because of this gain that I didn’t go to Lucy’s house for the appointment, and on that night, I sat in the car watching my father the whole time—just like now."
So back then, it wasn’t hearing Mr. Dickens next door moving directly from across the car window?
While clicking his tongue in admiration, Fu Qian parked the car and glanced at the nearby window.
Indeed, the distance was very short; the car had already reached the parking lot of the abandoned hotel.
"The content of the last item is actually very simple; I want to die in my sleep."
In the back seat, Cardon also straightforwardly ended the recollection and revealed the specific content of the final item on the list.
