Chapter 1053 Blind Eye (Seventeen)

It seems so!

At that moment, Aisi seemed to be a little convinced by Fu Qian's words.

As the backbone of the academy, she naturally knows the capabilities of each piece of equipment.

Not only did Scrooge activate his ability just now, but he definitely did so before punching with his left hand.

Because although the mask's attack is brutal, the preparation time is much longer than expected, and the conditions for launching it are also very demanding.

Thinking about it now, Scrooge's questioning performance was indeed a bit artificial.

So the left hand noticed the sign and decisively intervened?

The story sounds quite reasonable, and even courageous.

But the problem is that I have never seen the so-called living corpse transformation...

"Yes, I really want to kill you..."

While Aisi was confused, Scrooge finally stood up.

There was still blood on his lips, and his face was even a little deformed. The punch in front of him was really a bit harsh.

But now it sounds like it has not affected the language expression ability much.

"Why?"

hehe……

As Aisi asked subconsciously, Scrooge shook his head and sneered, pointing to Fu Qian.

"I may not be able to see myself, but I am very sure that this guy is turning into a living corpse——"

The next moment, Scrooge's accusation was interrupted by the shattering golden light that filled the sky.

The sage old man finally took action.

An invisible torrent swept across the entire venue, and while everyone's heads were clearing, Fu Qian realized that the old man's look at him was somewhat meaningful.

As expected, it was not that easy to believe that he actually saw Scrooge turn into a living corpse.

But unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly without insight.

"Wait a minute, Scrooge and I saw each other become zombies, but there was nothing unusual in your eyes - I understand!"

The next moment, Fu Qian raised his head, with a flash of enlightenment on his face.

"So that's it...the things we saw were fake, including the guy who escaped, even the way he looked at us was fake!"

"What do you mean - the Holy Grail can quietly change the picture we see?"

After paying the prompts, Ms. Ais understood quickly and her voice suddenly became high-pitched.

"We saw that guy was a living corpse, and he saw us the same way, so he thought something happened to us, so he ran away without saying hello!"

"Ingenious psychological hints, one link after another."

Nodding, Fu Qian recognized her understanding.

"If it weren't for the possibility of turning into a living corpse, I wouldn't have taken action so quickly... It was so risky, as if I was being guided to follow a written script."

While sighing, Fu Qian kept paying attention to the sage's reaction from the corner of his eye. When he mentioned the two words of the script, this man seemed a little strange.

The probability that the old man already suspected that he was related to the Meet Me Sect seemed to be getting higher.

The trial was easy and it was fruitful. He nodded slightly at Scrooge before paying.

"Sorry, it seems it was a misunderstanding. We are both victims."

They are all victims...can you say this?

Aisi and the others all looked sideways.

If the guess is correct, there is nothing wrong with this in theory.

The question is, is there a big difference between what happened to the two victims?

Scrooge's chin is still dripping blood. The only thing with blood on your body is the gloves you hit, right?

The air was quite quiet for a while.

As the person involved, Scrooge seemed to rarely suffer such losses.

With eyes that were selective and devouring, he did not respond to the greetings in front of him except for the sound of clenching his fists.

"But in terms of decisiveness in killing, I am still slightly inferior!"

Unexpectedly, facing this rage, Fu Qian sighed again the next moment.

"If it is really a living corpse, my punch will have no effect."

It seems really...

The onlookers were shocked again and looked at Scrooge.

Originally, everyone was quite sympathetic to his experience.

However, when reminded at this moment, people instantly realized that although the punch was harsh, it could only knock out a few teeth at most. Scrooge had directly used his extraordinary power.

If it hadn't been interrupted by that punch, the left hand would have been dead by now.

It was also discovered that the team members showed signs of turning into living corpses, and the level of decisiveness could be called a dimensional difference.

Sure enough, you can’t just look at the surface when looking at a problem!

"Sage...is it really what your left hand said just now?"

After realizing this, Aisi, who always paid attention to the team atmosphere, instinctively chose to stop the development of the situation and asked the sage with her eyes.

The old man has been silent since he took action just now.

"A very clever and hidden method!"

Without showing off, the sage looked away and nodded.

"The Holy Grail really doesn't want anyone to know of its existence."

This confirms what the left hand said.

Everyone took a breath subconsciously, and for a while they no longer paid much attention to which one was more cruel and which one was more unfair, Fu Qian or Scrooge.

Your own safety is the most important thing. Just thinking about the danger behind such a method makes me feel frightened.

"In fact, this is also the reason why we want to find this sacred artifact of the Institute. In addition, don't worry too much. We have won at least two important gains so far."

As if aware of the slightly low morale, the sage old man chuckled and stretched out a finger.

"First of all, this natural tendency to hide oneself, coupled with the previous performance of the re-engraving ability, once again proves that our goal of this trip is here, and it is not far away."

"Secondly, the Holy Grail is still in a nearly sleeping state, and its power recovery is limited."

How to say?

Facing the slightly puzzled looks in Aisi's group's eyes, the sage old man pointed to the front.

"Rewriting what you see is obviously limited to what the Holy Grail can do."

"Otherwise, think about it, if He directly made Scrooge's attack unobservable, then his left hand is already dead, so why bother to induce fratricide."

...Indeed, if you can't even see the extraordinary attack in the field of vision, then the victim will almost be at the mercy of others due to misdirection.

It seems that the Holy Grail cannot hide against this extraordinary attack.

The group of people breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

"I almost forgot the last reward. From now on, you will no longer be deceived."

Faced with the sudden increase in morale, the sage old man suddenly thought of something and tapped the golden staff in his hand.

This naturally refers to the "secondary invalidity" supported by insight.

"Also...nice job, left hand."

The old man, who seemed to be in a good mood, even gave me a compliment.

"You handled this emergency situation perfectly. It even seems like the Holy Grail thinks so and regards you as a priority target to get rid of."

"Next we should go to see this jewel in the crown of knowledge." (End of Chapter)
