Indeed, another victim.
Although the Clear Dream Ring was almost instantly canceled, it did not prevent Fu Qian from reaching a conclusion.
The medical elite before him also seemed to have suffered contamination from Lek.
Once this point was confirmed, the other person’s previous unpleasant behavior became quite intriguing.
Why couldn’t it be a pure coincidence?
Because this was the third activation of the Clear Dream Ring in a short period.
The two blockers before exhibited behavior identical to his, also ordinary people, with a similar resilience to the Clear Dream Ring.
In this situation, their behavior seemed interpretable as a slight disturbance to his malicious intent.
However, the magical part was that Fu Qian was quite sure he hadn’t been discovered before this.
This is the confidence of a Second Phase Transcendent.
Their actions, heartbeat, and breathing had no sign of pretense at all.
This made their playful interference much more interesting.
Completely unintentional actions just happened to target an undetected presence.
What an unwitting display of Unity of Heaven and Man.
To some extent, this seemed to confirm his previous concerns.
That even in a Blood Conquest state, contacting the current apparent source of contamination, Lek Wesley, could likely not avoid contamination, thus leading to mission failure.
It’s indeed no wonder he chose this second investigation site. Just a few steps in and, with the help of the three enthusiastic individuals, he already gained insights.
Of course, they needed to be a bit more enthusiastic.
Hi!
The next moment, Fu Qian greeted the back of a head.
...
The fact proved that a safe distance is a psychological requirement for everyone.
Even though Fu Qian’s tone and volume were perfect, as sunny as visiting a children’s park.
But such a close-up greeting still startled the person in front of him, almost making him drop his writing board.
"Who are you... What is it?"
Turning around almost at the limit of human speed, the medical elite glanced at the suddenly appearing smiling face, his voice trembled a little.
"Sorry I was too close, just wanted to ask for directions."
Apologizing verbally, Fu Qian was not the least bit embarrassed, directly stating his purpose.
"Dr. Lek Wesley once worked at this hospital. Do you know his specific office location?"
"...Sorry, I’m not sure about that, you might want to ask someone else."
Asking for directions in a hospital is entirely normal, but unfortunately, faced with Fu Qian’s question, the doctor who had just caught his breath quickly shook his head, expressing helplessness.
After answering, he turned away with a bit of coldness and left quickly.
Though infected, he indeed seems unfamiliar with Mr. Lek.
Without insisting on an invitation, Fu Qian watched the departing figure and sighed over the unwarranted disaster the other suffered.
Though not enthusiastic, he did not doubt the truthfulness of the other’s answer.
This overly strange way of asking for directions makes it hard to remain calm and composed.
The reason for his hasty departure was clearly an unconscious move to maintain distance, a completely normal reaction.
A victim even unfamiliar with the source of contamination, this renowned medical facility does worry me.
"Hello there."
The sentiment didn’t delay Fu Qian’s actions, in a moment he turned in a different direction and approached another figure nearby.
It was an elderly gentleman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a face full of wrinkles and mostly white hair, exuding an air of high esteem.𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
What’s the saying?
The morals are degenerating, people’s hearts aren’t the same.
So perhaps I should find someone with an older mindset.
...
Sure enough, the old gentleman proved to be quite perceptive.
Maintaining a safe distance, Fu Qian’s second inquiry target exhibited a full demeanor of old-fashioned gentility.
After a gentle inquiry into Fu Qian’s doubts, the person soon recalled Lek’s name and provided a detailed office address.
Even as Fu Qian thanked him and took his leave, he was still lamenting over Lek’s early retirement and the waste of his exquisite medical skills.
Following the direction pointed out by this kindly gentleman, and without activating the Blood Conquest, Fu Qian proceeded quickly to his destination—only to find no such room.
