Chapter 173 If
Chapter 173 If
"boom!"
"Ouch..."
After turning over in his sleep and falling off the desk, Leon, who had a splitting headache, couldn't help but groan, and staggered to his feet from the carpet. He felt that the world in front of him seemed to have become three, and was constantly alternating.
The Director... is such a dangerous woman... dangerous in the most literal sense of the word.
Recalling the tragic drinking party last night and healing his broken ribs, Leon couldn't help but shudder with lingering fear.
Although my director is a good boss and takes good care of me in every way, he is indeed an incurable alcoholic.
In the past, no one could drink with her, so she could only drink alone. But after meeting herself, who could barely catch up with her in drinking capacity, the director seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and the more she drank, the more she enjoyed it.
When she was completely drunk, she would pull a dog into the cleaning department and force him to drink a few sips. Yesterday, I pretended to be drunk twice but was seen through. She helped me up and continued to force me to drink...
But the wine was not wasted.
Looking at the three red hairs tangled around his right hand, Leon, whose face was a little pale after the hangover, couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly relieved smile.
Anna and the other two lived in the Happy Apartment. At night, a strong old man patrolled with a pair of big scissors. During the day, the Happy Apartment provided them with a safe haven. In addition, with the hair that she had asked the director for, they were completely protected this time, and she could rest assured...
Hmm... My head hurts... It seems that although I drank a lot, it was still a bit too much...
After rubbing his throbbing temples, Leon looked at the world in front of him that was still shaking slightly. He couldn't help but sigh after sitting back at his desk. Then he secretly made up his mind that in the future, when the director tried to get him to drink again, he would refuse without hesitation like Senior Emma did.
Although it seems a bit like killing the donkey after it has worked, and disowning people after taking the benefits, accompanying the director for a drink is really not a job that a human can do. If I continue to drink with her like this in the future, I will be a dog!
"Wang..."
???
Looking at Youha, who was lying on his back on the desk, groaning and also reeking of alcohol, Leon, who was still a little confused, was stunned for a moment, then glanced speechlessly in the direction of the director's office.
I was just saying, I didn't expect you could actually make even a dog get two cups of wine!
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Leon carefully turned the little Ha over and patted its back. The little Ha, who had accidentally entered the drinking party, burped twice in a babyish voice, and finally recovered and opened its drunken eyes.
“Woof, woof, woof…”
(It’s so scary, how can someone even force a dog to drink alcohol…)
After complaining weakly to Leon, Youha arched his arms twice like a fat caterpillar, wobbled on his four short legs and crawled into the wine bottle on the table, and took out the photo that had made him drunk all night.
"Woof, woof..."
(What you put in is different. I want to go back to sleep for a while...)
"go Go……"
Watching Youha stagger towards the wine bottle and fall asleep without a sound, Leon couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows, then rubbed his hands to warm them up and put them on his eyes for a while. When the world in front of him stopped spinning, he reached out and touched the photo on the table.
[Name: If (replacement, modification)]
[Appearance: A brand new photo of a beautiful woman smiling and looking out of the frame. If you continue to stare at her, you will unconsciously develop a strange envy for her.]
[Ability: Replace identity, modify the world]
[Price: None]
[File: One of the large number of functional anomalies created by Director Aquarius of the Cleanup Bureau in order to fulfill his wish, tentatively numbered 0006.
This anomaly once completely lost its original power due to the resistance and denial of its creator, but after experiencing the impact of some things, the creator's ideas gradually changed, and he developed new desires, so the damaged anomaly was repaired.] [Evaluation: An extremely powerful functional anomaly that can replace anyone you want to replace at almost no cost, and can even modify all traces related to it.
Unfortunately, people’s inner world is more difficult to control than the entire world. Even if you could change the entire world, you cannot change a person who doesn’t love you. That person only loves your borrowed identity.
If someone wants to rely on it to gain happiness, they may only get greater disappointment. Perhaps this pain of not getting what you want is the real price you have to pay for using it.
[Infiltration value: 9]
[Due to the special relationship between you and the creator of this anomaly, you have all the authority to use it directly]
[Your Infiltration Value Increased]
[Current infection value is 4.1]
This thing... is it Anna's family photo?
Looking at the photo of the object that had been restored but had almost completely turned into another abnormal object except for the ability to modify the world, Leon couldn't help but frown deeply.
'The creator's mind has changed'
'A new desire has arisen'
'Even if you can change the world, you can't change a person who doesn't love you'
This is a rather dog-licking explanation, coupled with the ability to replace identities, and the familiar-looking pretty woman in the photo...
Could it be that Anna was in love? Did she like the woman in the photo? Did she like her so much that the anomaly even changed?
Ah this?
Relying on the pitifully little known information and his head in a mess due to a hangover, Leon barely deduced this possible outcome. He couldn't help but put his hands on his head and began to grab his hair violently.
What the hell is going on! I just took a nap, how come the version has changed when I woke up?
……
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"
Just when Leon, who was full of doubts about his life, was about to ask the black goat whether he had slept for a night or a week, there was a polite knock on the door.
"You are finally awake."
Jerry pushed open the half-closed door and saw that Leon had already gotten down from the table. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked,
“Leon, a person came to the police station today to report a case, saying that she was suddenly forgotten by everyone. I guess she might have been attacked by some abnormal ability.
The director drank too much with you yesterday and hasn't woken up yet. Now Emma and I are the only ones in the bureau who don't have any tasks on hand, and neither of us is very good at dealing with situations like souls and spirits.
So if you are free, come and give me a hand? If there is anything gained in the end, we will distribute it according to the contribution. If it is something of the soul type, it will all belong to you, how about that? "
"Well... I don't have any tasks on hand, but something seems to have happened at home..."
After looking at the photos on the table, although Leon was very tempted by this offer, he still refused when he thought of the changes that had occurred on Anna's side:
"Let's put it this way, Senior Jerry. I have to go home first. If there's nothing serious over there, I'll... um..."
This person who reported the case...why does he look familiar?
Seeing the office door open and the woman in the corridor looking at him curiously, Leon was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the photo on the table again.
Isn't this the same person?
