Chapter 2788: Chapter 2783: 13-Day Talks (40)

One of the purposes of stepping forward to exchange pleasantries is passive defense, to avoid the elderly man in the hospital bed accidentally erupting in darkness and bringing Judgment Day forward once again.

But in reality, Wayne Falter’s words do hold some truth. If not provoked, the risk might not be as big.

Thus, Fu Qian indeed has a different intention behind his incomprehensible action, which is to observe his reaction.

From responding effortlessly and leading the momentum at the start, to the recent instance where his eyes turned red with the urge to act, Wayne Falter indeed suffered some torment.

It’s not even his fault for being less skilled; the ultimate technique of double twist and repeated maneuvering is not something everyone can keep up with.

On one side is a columnist and on the other a director—clearly, he has become a sort of arena for sparring, enduring ravages almost inevitably.

But regardless of whether the director’s intention is to find amusement, for Fu Qian, it’s never been about tormenting someone’s mind.

From the start it was stated that the erratic shifts were to test the director’s "operation boundaries."

And during this process, Fu Qian seems to have found something interesting—the director is somewhat split-minded?

It has nearly been confirmed now; the guidance from Wayne Falter was likely an emergency measure swiftly arranged by the director after realizing the dual-act scheme.

However, continuous twists and pressure reveal the complexity of his attitude.

On one side, not wanting me to board the train and leave, jumping straight to a non-existent train at platform 54, guiding me towards the attending physician’s office.

Thus, the image of attempting to overthrow Servis and reveal the truth becomes untrustworthy, resembling more an accomplice aiding a playful person.

Yet upon reaching there, he clearly doesn’t want me to truly enter the attending physician’s office.

But knowing that if someone inside starts clapping as I open the door, congratulating me for performing well, it would be the pinnacle of the prank.

However, even after my continuous provocation, he resolutely turns away, preferring to become the clown himself.

Don’t forget, these actions behind the scenes can be seen as reflecting the director’s will.

So theoretically, the one turning into the clown is the director.

Clearly a Transcendent figure all the way, but after twisting with me a few times, dropping down to this level?

From Fu Qian’s perspective, this seems somewhat too degrading.

Thus, during the unexpected encounter with the medical team just now, Fu Qian additionally does something provocative: stepping forward and engaging with them warmly.

Wayne Falter’s reaction to this appears quite disapproving, using every possible method to prevent it.

Judging by his attitude towards the patients, Fu Qian doesn’t think he is worried about me disturbing these people.

So thinking inversely, could the reason behind these actions be to prevent these people from interfering with me?

He’s indeed eager to take me away from here.

The attitude is consistent with not wanting me to enter the office earlier, yet contrasts sharply with the attitude at the train station—why?

The aim of an amusement-seeker isn’t to become the amusement itself.

This back-and-forth situation has already stripped the director’s style.

So if not seeking amusement, the problem intensifies.

Is it to board the train or to enter the office?

These two destinations clearly represent different meanings, causing the director who orchestrates this to swing positions constantly, akin to split-mindedness.

This is the true meaning of what Fu Qian said to Wayne Falter.

You...

And indeed, the listener seemed attentive, not appearing dazed but almost halting his breath and losing his ability to speak.

By the time Wayne Falter finally moves, he doesn’t even rebut Fu Qian’s statement; instead, he lowers his head and quickly searches through his belongings.

He soon finds it—from his pocket he withdraws a neatly folded pale golden note and hands it over.

...

Such a development, eh?

Wayne Falter’s actions are somewhat surprising, yet Fu Qian instantly recognizes the note as the one he saw before, even down to the identical creases.

So what does this mean?

No longer able to improvise, directly handing over the strategem as a sign of complete surrender?

Isn’t this rather hasty?

"Thank you."

Brainstorming can be fun, but Fu Qian is not one to endure unnecessary hardship.

The answer is right before his eyes, why waste brain cells guessing blindly?

At that moment he casually thanks, accepting the strategem without hesitation.

[Servis’s office is right in front of you, yet it seems you are helpless against intruders.

His thoughts are inscrutable, his actions bizarre, what you have learned in the past is totally inapplicable to him.

So you make the most gentle choice, which is to completely agree with the other party’s words]

Upon opening and glancing at it, surprisingly it’s very similar to what was obtained from the female staff’s hand—three script-like sentences—and indeed it’s meant for Wayne Falter.

Of course, relatively speaking, my own copy is slightly more substantial.

Summarizing this lengthy content really conveys just one thing—when faced with a stubborn element, rendered speechless, simply saying "Yes, yes, yes" suffices.

Fortunately, as compensation, besides the above segment, there surprisingly lies another line at a distance below.

[But your inner hesitation was discerned, hence you handed over this piece of paper and proposed that the next actions be led by him]

...

Interesting. Indeed, the director is remarkable.

A glance instantly comprehends why Wayne Falter would hand over such an important item with both hands.

This strategem is indeed intriguing, vaguely giving the impression of breaking the fourth wall by including such content.

Furthermore, it’s clear that despite Wayne Falter’s excellence, the director still seems to lack confidence in him.

Initially it was because the situation had frozen, prompting Wayne Falter to open the strategem.

It’s reasonable to believe that prior knowledge was imparted to him, advising to open it upon facing difficulty.

Even the initial content targets that scenario and is quite actionable.

It’s not over yet; it surprisingly predicts an even worse situation—a comprehensive disadvantage, even one’s own doubts are unearthed.

Ultimately, in such circumstances, the strategem must be handed over, allowing this mess to be completely seen by the other party.

A fascinating mindset.

"Next actions are guided by you."

Indeed, like a mindless Wayne Falter, he actually uttered that sentence as written above.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

Fu Qian gladly agrees, playing with the note, a previous question suddenly becomes clear.

Is it even beyond split-mindedness? Are the director and Servis two people?

So is it actually not a two-person act, but a three-person act?
