Chapter 1239 - 1237: The Starry Sky
The address given by Mr. and Mrs. Reysen was actually not far away, belonging to the category of places that could be reached with just a slight detour.
However, at the moment Fu Qian displayed a considerable consistency between his thoughts and actions, with no intention whatsoever to make a detour for a quick visit.
After a cold laugh and discarding the letter, he slightly discerned the direction and went straight back the way he had come.
It wasn’t that he doubted the authenticity of the address; in fact, Fu Qian even accepted Reysen’s statement. Comparing different nightmare situations, there indeed could be some significance.
But the significance was not sufficient.
Even while listening to Reysen describe the ordeal he and his wife had gone through, Fu Qian had already decisively chosen to play the role of someone obstinately ignorant.
In short, the attitude of accepting reality during his exchange with Amila was nothing more than acting out of necessity, a feigned conversion.
Deep down, he still truly believed that everything in front of him was the actual nightmare and that he must use every method to return to "reality".
According to Reysen, the Sect had quite a number of secretive investigative cases on sudden nightmare events.
For the survivors from the World Within the Painting, who could not provide more valuable information, adopting such an extreme stance to provoke a reaction carried some risk, but it was definitely an efficient choice.
Not to mention that as a fresh case, with surveillance personnel right at hand, the operation would be all too convenient.
