Chapter 2392: Chapter 2387: Mutual Identification
Snake fangs have always been a highly intimidating thing, and when coupled with the attributes of a beauty snake, it’s even more exaggerated.
As a teammate who had acted together before, Fu Qian not only witnessed the power of Professor Lisa’s poisonous fangs but even understood it as a kind of renewable talisman.
It’s been quite some time since the last exploration of the Bone Spirit Realm; it should have grown back by now, right?
"What did you say?"
Though the person involved reacted somewhat strongly.
After hearing Fu Qian’s request clearly, Professor Lisa’s overly stiff expression almost made one suspect of being controlled again.
"No need to be polite, nor hold back."
Fu Qian just pointed to his own neck.
Of course, it wasn’t due to any masochistic tendencies, but purely in the spirit of academic research.
It is known that due to the connection with Kaldora’s flesh and blood, Lisa was suspected of unknowingly inducing some special effect within the Academy’s scope.
Also, since even Lian Cas was affected, it is speculated that the effect might be related to the concept of Melia’s domain.
And I myself have Melia’s attributes.
Step by step progression, reasonable and logical.
If the hypothesis is true, it means that there is a certain probability that Professor Lisa can interact with the concept of Melia.
Then, even if excluding the perception factor, letting her interact with me to see the disturbance is a completely feasible attempt.
Moreover, this interaction is preferably at a more fundamental level; simple punching and kicking are questionable in effect, which is why I chose to let her use her fangs.
I am convinced that even if Professor Lisa is forced to show her true form, it will be one of the elements she keeps last.
The only thing that needs to be overcome here is the psychological barrier of the person involved.
"Do as Professor Fu says."
Fortunately, the highly esteemed President Cass was right next to her and clearly felt Professor Fu’s determination.
"Okay... fine."
With encouragement from the two giants of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, Lisa finally seemed to realize that poisoning a demigod wouldn’t be easy.
"Shall I start then?"
Though looking at Fu Qian’s eyes, there was inevitably something strange.
"Thank you for your trouble."
The latter’s reaction was eagerly anticipating, even turning his face at an angle to prevent her from getting nervous.
To avoid eye contact and make the vital area more obvious.
Puff!
The next moment, a burst of blood shot out from there.
After all, a scholar with years of practical experience, in face of Professor Fu’s sincerity, Lisa’s actions finally became decisive.
In the corner of his eye, one could clearly see a familiar spike being spat out from her mouth, solidly hitting the target.
It almost exploded into many fragments upon contact, and combined with Professor Fu’s voluntary cooperation, they successfully created a scene of blood and gore.
Pretty good indeed.
And as he silently savored the wound with his fingers, Fu Qian turned to look at Lisa, who was now missing a tooth—
"What’s wrong with your neck?"
The latter also looked over with concern, although standing a bit far, hand resting on the laboratory door, just as it was pushed open.
"It’s nothing, I thought I was poisoned just now."
Fu Qian put his hand down and gestured for a seat, indicating no need to worry.
...
Indeed, there was no poisoning, just a slight mental disturbance for a moment.
As Professor Lisa approached with a suspicious look, Fu Qian had discreetly confirmed two things.
First, there was no wound or any fragment of poisonous fangs on his neck, and second, the time on the "Tyrant’s Mechanical Fist" used for timing had reversed.
Combining the two, explaining why Professor Lisa ended up at the door and why Cass disappeared, was easy to comprehend—the Engraving Wisdom had activated, just a moment ago.
Even the timing was perfectly aligned, right at the moment Lisa pushed open the door.
And the Cass who had been sitting there discussing with him was not the real one.
"Are you still afraid of being poisoned?"
Lisa still appeared somewhat worried and was even more confused due to Fu Qian’s comments.
But in the end, she still obliged and sat down, rolling her eyes at Professor Fu’s explanation, seemingly finding the words a bit peculiar.
"Why wouldn’t I be? Being that close to the brain is still dangerous."
To this, Fu Qian just chuckled and tapped his skull.
Although it seemed like a cross-channel exchange, the words were not unfounded.
Within a short span, it had manifested three times; perhaps it was due to the Academy’s auspicious environment, but the more astonishing aspect was the naturalness.
Unlike the previous elderly demigod, the dissonance during the earlier interaction was quite low, almost completing an academic exchange and test very seriously.
Including the communicated content, "the flesh and blood behind Kaldora involve something profound," was very fitting for the current situation.
Having swallowed and obtained the "Engraving Wisdom," could truly allow one to experience the world’s chaos.
No worries, as some new rules have been summarized—
For instance, the characters appearing during a mental disturbance state can perform attacks on oneself and cause injury, yet this damage will not carry over to reality.
And such—
"How are you feeling? How’s the tooth growth?"
Amidst the speechless silence from Professor Lisa, Fu Qian reciprocated some concern for her situation.
"Your way of greeting... what does it have to do with my teeth?"
Unfortunately, Professor Lisa was evidently more perplexed, touching her face with her brows knitting tighter.
"It seems not too bad."
The reaction couldn’t be clearer, Fu Qian nodded, continuing to draw the next conclusion—
Professor Lisa’s poisonous fangs did not abnormally decrease, so the events occurring in the Engraving Wisdom appear to be entirely independent from the real world.
Those roles indistinguishable even to myself do not convey the damage and depletion back to the person.
In this respect, the nature seems quite pure.
Next time, perhaps initiating some conceptual strikes, such as a Visceral Critical Strike, could be attempted to penetrate this barrier.
Not bothered by the previous experiences, on the contrary, Fu Qian was entirely pleased at that moment.
...
[To true experts, neither reality nor illusion affects their expertise]
This was something said to Su Gao a long time ago.
If another person had experienced the previous situation, the overall impression probably wouldn’t have been pleasant.
But for Fu Qian, the focus remained on the value gained from it, and the conclusion was very intriguing.
The legacy left by Professor Kaldora can be considered a curse, yet it also provides an additional perspective to scrutinize the world.
Comparatively, a little "confusion" is no longer significant.
"Of course, I’m still fine..."
The only not-so-friendly aspect was the series of abstract conversations that seemed to overwhelm Professor Lisa a bit.
However, subconsciously mumbling, she finally seemed to muster the courage to express her intention.
"But I’m a little worried about Cass; his condition seems off."
