Chapter 2860: Chapter 2855: Knowing People and Recognizing Objects

"Where did this thing... come from?"

Like Professor Fu, Patch clearly wasn’t one to believe in coincidences.

Faced with the sudden anomaly, at that moment, he almost immediately dismissed the notion of an injury, judging the issue to be with the glove itself.

"Given by Her Excellency Annalise."

Fu Qian raised his hand to inspect it, feeling the dampness.

And without holding anything back, he directly revealed the name of the Progenitor of the Blood Clan.

The anomaly indeed appeared on the glove, beginning when he completed the Insight and transformed into the "Night Demon."

"Hehe... well prepared indeed."

It’s hard to say how genuine the expression of surprise was, but Patch quickly switched to a smile and gave a compliment.

Not only with strong execution and clear-headed thinking, but even his resource reserves were impressive. Is there a more ideal partner for collaboration?

"It seems your plan is correct again, and we seem to have gained something."

And before Fu Qian could humbly respond, he was already closely examining the glove, seemingly gaining some insight.

"You’ve been suspecting that mass is related to the Progenitor of the Blood Clan, so you’ve been trying to provoke some kind of reaction?"

Not only that, but he also recalled previous encounters.

Fu Qian not only prioritized these two individuals as his breakthrough point right from the start but even swallowed that line using the hand wearing the glove.

"Yeah, though it’s unfortunate the situation isn’t ideal."

Fu Qian didn’t rush to ask what they had gained.

"Surprises always come unexpectedly, now it looks pretty good. I can confirm that this blood comes from them."

Patch gestured towards the remaining "lines" in the egg.

...

In just a moment, the atmosphere there had become even more oppressive.

Lu Ming and the other person didn’t utter a word, but the lines stitching their limbs started to visibly become more active.

Though they didn’t directly rush out or entangle Fu Qian, Patch still determined that it was directly related to the anomaly with the glove.

"It seems they should be called the Fallen Blood."

Fu Qian shared the term he had gained through Insight.

"You seem to have gained quite a bit from eating that thing."

Patch made a clicking sound with his mouth.

"Just realized I’ve gained a lot?"

Fu Qian glanced at him, his response somewhat sounding like a retort.

"Hehe... indeed, I noticed it seems like you’re marking this place with your own aura, initially assuming you planned to deal with me, this potential threat, in the process."

Indeed, Patch wasn’t displeased at all, even looking a bit embarrassed, admitting that he had been projecting his own concerns on others before.

It just goes to show you can’t underestimate the foresight of someone experienced, acquiring the ’Night Demon’ effect within a few sentences, and the role of ’Dream Polluter’ was noticed.

Being in any dream, it can quickly be polluted and become one’s own property.

Brother Patch, after noticing such changes, it’s quite natural to feel some concern.

"I understand, I know this is quite trendy within our circle."

So naturally, Fu Qian wouldn’t blame him, indicating that he too was familiar with the trends among the Superior Beings.

Of course, he wouldn’t make meaningless promises like "I won’t deal with you."

After all, the second trend among Superior Beings is that words are powerless, even they don’t believe what they say.

"Glad to see you’re not assimilating too quickly... so can you confirm why this change is happening? Suddenly, this thing shows interest."

Patch seemed to find the term "circle" quite novel, but of course, quickly returned to the main topic.

"Can’t be entirely sure, the guess is that this thing should naturally react to Annalise’s aura, just didn’t recognize it before."

Fu Qian seemed to have been pondering the reason for a while, responding almost instantly.

"Now because of your closer connection with the dream realm, it finally sensed it? It feels like there’s still a gap in the decisive causal link."

Patch agreed with Fu Qian’s explanation but still felt it was slightly lacking.

"Originally, this place was Annalise’s dream. This thing desperately maintains the last thread of residual dreams because of this, but unfortunately, Annalise left long ago, leaving only it, which might not have much intelligence."

Fu Qian recalled his previous mission experiences here, feeling everything was coming together.

"Now this dream realm belongs to me, and since the dream owner is equivalent to the Progenitor of the Blood Clan, it only triggered certain switches within its cognition.

"It must have recognized the person before recognizing the thing in my hand."

...

Why does the Archipelago still retain traces of dreams? Clearly, the task summary explicitly mentioned the White Tower Codex’s complete downfall, and the observing Superior Being had already averted their gaze.

Previously guessed and verified, this thing should be the foundational existence of the dream realm.

But how it transitioned between states is somewhat perplexing.

And now, from its special reaction to Annalise’s relics, it seems a reason can be discerned—it is chasing the aura of the Progenitor of the Blood Clan.

Perhaps its appearance in the Rebirth Club’s inventory was merely a coincidence, but when the White Tower Codex attracted attention, it seemed intoxicated by Annalise’s gaze as well.

So much so that when the latter disappeared, it stepped forth to maintain an existing illusion, and added a hard-to-erase tumor to the Archipelago.

Overall, the story still makes sense to listen to, though there are still too many points needing verification,

Like why does this thing pursue Annalise? What makes it so persistent?

Judging from my Insight, its style is quite different from Annalise’s lineage, even more inclined to the power of dreams as previously mentioned.

"This causal relationship sounds much more reasonable, and according to this line of thinking, I might even attempt to assist it."

But for Patch, it seemed this was already enough.

Very satisfied, he examined Fu Qian’s glove; he really approved of this line of thought, and hence recognized the outline of his own reasoning.

Phew—

Without further ado, the next moment Patch took a deep breath and exhaled sharply towards it.

The exaggerated action almost had one hearing illusions of "Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to witness a miracle" other speeches.

Oh?

Interesting situations did indeed appear immediately after.

Even though the blood just started to seep from the glove, under Fu Qian’s gaze, it was blown into rolling ripples.

In the blink of an eye, not only was it pulled out from the glove, but the ripples were also becoming—anthropomorphic?

Fu Qian expressed that amidst the rolling, he saw humanoid limbs and even facial features, as if tortured souls from a fallen blood realm.

But seeming to be under enormous restraints, no matter how they struggled, they couldn’t fully emerge.

"The reason for the Code?"

Faced with such a scene, Fu Qian confirmed with a question.

"The reason for the Code."

Patch nodded, even having stopped exhaling, the ripples remained.
