The location where Fu Qian is located is on a somewhat remote street.
Especially under the thunderstorm, it was even deserted at the moment.
The person who spoke out was sitting on a chair in the rain, with a familiar mist surrounding her.
The rain falling all over the sky fell on it, all blending into it silently, and not a drop fell on her.
"You came later than expected?"
Fu Qian's calm and composed response seemed to be somewhat beyond the woman's expectations.
The next moment she slowly turned around.
Under the wide brim of the hat is a slightly familiar face.
Before paying, he was very sure that he had seen this face less than a day ago.
This woman is obviously one of those extraordinary beings. If I remember correctly, her name should be Teresa.
Before paying, I remembered that she was quite familiar with Rolden, and they even talked to him.
At this moment, Teresa was dressed in black, smiling but not smiling, like a ghost under the mist.
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up?"
He said calmly before paying.
"You don't look surprised?"
Theresa was undoubtedly stunned for a moment by Fu Qian's answer, and then she couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"Surprise never solves anything."
He snorted before paying.
"really……"
Teresa nodded.
"There is no such thing as luck for no reason. They always said before that you were just lucky, but I insisted that there must be a special reason. Now it seems that at least my character is much stronger than that of Shang Shiming."
As she spoke, she flicked her fingers. The next moment, the area of the water mist expanded several times, including Fu Qian.
The scene in the stone tower reappeared.
Fu Qian shook his head and tried to blow a breath.
It can be seen that with the addition of rain, the binding force of water mist is stronger.
In fact, when he was in the stone tower just now, he realized that someone was lurking around.
However, in his initial judgment, Fu Qian was not sure what the purpose of this person in the dark was, and he considered it possible that it was Shang Shiming's back-up man.
However, judging from the subsequent development, it is obvious that Brother Shang does not know the existence of this person.
Not only that, Shang Shiming also checked the surroundings to make sure that no one was lurking on one side.
In fact, even Li Min, who was more powerful, didn't notice anything unusual.
The reason is actually very simple. The person in front of me is much higher level than those three people.
Theresa was sitting there, although there were no traces of age on her face, but before paying, she confirmed that she was not too young.
The most important thing is that this person has at least level five strength.
Under the suppression of levels, it is really easy to hide from a few low-level extraordinary ones.
The only thing that's a bit puzzling is her motivation.
If you really doubt that you have many opportunities to test her, Fu Qian didn't think that she was here for him from the beginning.
"So you did it all just now?"
Before paying, he looked at Teresa and said.
"It's obvious isn't it?"
The latter admitted it without hesitation.
"Can I ask the reason?"
"you guess?"
"No matter from which perspective, what you did just now was a bit abnormal. It not only ruined Shang Shiming's plan, it could even be said to be aimed at killing people."
"Based on what you guys do in daily life, can I understand that it has something to do with the ritual?"
"Not bad, the response is very quick."
Teresa praised with a smile.
"So you don't want Shang Shiming to complete the ritual? But if you really have a grudge, your strength should be able to kill him easily, so why bother."
"I am indeed ruining his ceremony, but it has nothing to do with the festival."
Teresa had a smile on her face.
"I have no grudge against Shang Shiming. The reason for that is just doing what I should do."
What you should do.
Fu Qian frowned and realized what he was talking about.
"ceremony?"
"Yes, my ceremony."
"Let me think."
Before paying, I felt like my doubts just now were answered.
"Is it possible that your ritual is to prevent the stone tower from being destroyed? So it just conflicts with Shang Shiming's."
"To be precise, it is to prevent a major act of destruction, and it is not limited to that one building."
Teresa admitted lightly.
How can it still be like this!
"Aren't you all in the same circle? Let's discuss it with Brother Shang and stop it once."
"This is a real ceremony of service. Do you think it's just playing house?"
Teresa showed a cold smile.
"How can such a stupid act of deception meet the requirements of the ritual?"
"So you have been waiting for Shang Shiming's action?"
He shook his head before paying.
"It's a pity that he seems completely unaware of this."
"That's because he is essentially a clueless idiot, no different from you."
Looking at Fu Qian's face, Teresa's tone was full of mockery.
"He doesn't understand the essence of the ritual at all...and do you think that this ritual really originated from the revelation he occasionally received?"
"So to say……"
What to realize before paying.
"Did you do it? Like Roalden did to me?"
"You react very quickly."
Teresa couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
"Yes, it was indeed me who did it. Considering that the other party is a transcendent, we need to be more careful not to be discovered."
"Since you are so smart, you might as well guess again why I am waiting for you here?"
"That's not simple. Your ritual failed, and it was obviously because of me."
"It's like you have worked so hard to herd a sheep, and when it's time to slaughter it, it's suddenly run away."
He said lazily before paying.
"Since you were so impatient to come to the door, you probably came to investigate, right?"
"It would be best if you have this self-awareness."
Teresa burst into laughter.
"Everyone has to pay the price for their actions, whether intentional or unintentional, so are you ready?"
"Prepare to die."
"I've always been well prepared mentally for this, so I won't bother you."
Facing the death threat, Fu Qian seemed completely unconcerned and waved his hand casually.
"Considering that I am already about to die, could you ask me a few questions?"
…
After Fu Qian finished speaking, even Teresa couldn't help falling into a brief silence.
The guy in front of me seems to really not know how to write the word "death".
"Okay, just ask."
After a few seconds, the man let out a burst of unexplained laughter and motioned for Fu Qian to continue.
"Since Shang Shiming only knows a little about rituals, I'm curious, what is the essence of rituals?"
He asked politely before paying.
The essence of ritual…
Teresa looked at Fu Qian.
"When death is imminent, your thirst for knowledge is really strong."
"Hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening."
When Fu Qian said this, there was no piety on his face.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
Theresa's smile was filled with a chill.
"The essence of ritual is naturally knowledge."
"But that is not human knowledge, but divine knowledge."
"A part of the knowledge beyond imagination that can be glimpsed."
