Chapter 187 Brother and Sister Night Chapter and Finally Arrived
Chapter 187 Brother and Sister Night Talk and the Goods Finally Arrived
"elder brother?"
After walking out of the inner room with a clean small cloth bag, she found that the baby-faced girl had disappeared, and only Leon was still standing by the door. Anna couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Where's Miss Amy?"
"I don't have much time to stay at home, and I have something to ask you, so I'll ask her to go home first."
Turning his head to look out the window, he found that the strong old man was about to climb in. Leon was ready to make a long story short. He grabbed his sister's shoulders and said seriously:
"Anna, tell me..."
"When did it happen between you and Sister Veronica?"
"what?"
Looking at Leon who looked a little surprised, Anna, who asked the question first, bit her lower lip and then said softly with some complaints:
"Just...how did you meet? How did you decide to get married? Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"..."
"Well...can I say that I'm actually still confused?"
After a slight hesitation, Leon explained:
"Anna, you should know that there are many things in this world that are not 'normal', like your photo, which has all kinds of incredible abilities.
Miss Veronica was affected by something similar, causing everyone in the kingdom to lose their memory of her, including you and me."
What? Everyone forgot about her?!
When Anna first heard about the photo, her heart tightened and she subconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt. But after hearing about the princess's experience, she couldn't help but say with surprise and sympathy:
"Then... doesn't that mean she has lost everything? Not only has she lost her identity, but she has also lost her friends, family... her lover... all of them?"
"Yes."
After getting a positive answer from Leon, Anna fell into silence.
If I had been in this situation where I suddenly lost everything, I would probably have collapsed. However, not only did sister Veronica not show any pain, she was even able to chat and laugh with me yesterday.
Apart from the slightly dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he didn't sleep well at night, there was almost nothing abnormal on the surface. It was really...
"She's so strong..."
"Well, she is indeed a very 'powerful' person."
Understanding what his sister was sighing about, Leon, who had seen the princess’ soul, nodded in agreement.
In the soul vision of the Black Goat, everyone's soul has its own "background color", which does not refer to real colors such as red, orange, yellow, and green, but a feeling that is closer to the essence.
Anna's underlying color is desire and warmth, the underlying color of policewoman Isa is compassion and responsibility, and the underlying color of Princess Veronica's soul is incomparable and ultimate tenacity. Her beliefs are so hard that they are almost terrifying, as if she was born without knowing what despair is.
And this belief is not the kind of confidence that one will definitely succeed, but the kind of awareness that even if one knows the chances are slim, one will still continue to move forward without hesitation, and will not stop until both legs are worn out, and there is no other end except death.
Well... in a sense, her brother's soul actually feels the same way. The "hardness" of the souls of these two royal members she has come into contact with are both amazing.
However, if Princess Veronica's underlying character is called faith, then her brother's underlying character can only be called arrogance. Even though he had been beaten in a mixed doubles match by himself and senior Emma, and had several of his teeth pulled out, that guy still looked down on himself from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe this is the royal inheritance!
……
After shaking his head slightly and no longer thinking about the freckled prince's strange soul, Leon looked at the progress of the strong old man climbing the window, then looked at his sister who looked admiring and a little envious, and asked seriously:
“Anna, can you tell me what you were thinking after you saw Miss Veronica yesterday?”
Huh? What am I thinking?
Anna was slightly stunned by Leon's question, and after hesitating for a moment, she replied:
"Just... I envy her?"
"Just jealous?"
"And a little bit...want to be someone like her..."
After subconsciously glancing at the papayas in the kitchen, Anna whispered with some envy:
"My health is not good, but sister Veronica is very healthy and energetic; I am a little too thin, but she has a very good figure and personality.
Unlike me who is not very talkative, she is very talkative, cheerful, and has a kind of charm that makes people believe in her unconsciously... She is very similar to the personality of my mother in my memory."
After recalling the past, Anna said with warmth in her eyes:
"Actually, since I was little, I wanted to be like her and my mother, but I just couldn't do it,"
"..."
So... Princess Veronica is Anna's "ideal type", and the envy and desire to become her that Anna developed after coming into contact with her led to the restoration of the "warm home" and turned it into a "what if" that could replace others?
It feels... quite reasonable, but the degree seems a little off.
If the abilities of abnormal objects can be changed, then the thought of "I wish I were her" would probably be quite strong. If it was just pure envy, would Anna have such a strong thought?
After frowning and thinking for a while, Leon was worried that if he returned the photo to Anna, she would really replace the princess. So he did not take out the photo, but grabbed Anna's shoulder and said seriously:
"What else? Are these really all? Think about it carefully! Are there any others?"
Other words...
The frail girl couldn't help biting her lower lip when she heard that. An image of a crying man flashed through her mind, and then she looked at Yanang with a complicated expression.
If I get the photos of my family and that man gets them, and everything is restored by him, and you, William, and Melanie all get back to their original lives, then I will no longer be your family.
If this really happens, I will be alone again, and your family will only be Sister Veronica. I really envy her...
But it was precisely because I used that photo six years ago that you were deprived of your original life and separated from your real family. Am I... am I qualified to stop that man and prevent him from changing everything back to its original track?
I don't……
After opening and closing her lips twice, Anna, with a somewhat gloomy expression, shook her head and replied in a whisper:
"I do not……"
"You did! Anna! You must be hiding something from me!"
Even without using his soul vision, Leon could see the hesitation in his sister's heart.
If it was something else, it would be fine, everyone has their own secrets, but what Anna didn't want to say was probably about the anomalies created by Director Aquarius, and there was absolutely no room for ambiguity!
"I don't know why you kept it from me, but it has something to do with that photo, right?"
After mobilizing the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant and throwing out the strong old man who had crawled in, Leon grabbed his sister's shoulders, stared into her eyes and said very seriously:
"Anna! Listen to me!
Whether you want to avoid past mistakes, or think hiding it from me might be better for me, or for some other reason, don't do this! "
After a slight pause, looking at his sister who did not deny it, Leon continued to emphasize while thinking: "I am your brother. If you made any mistakes, just tell me directly! I will do my best to help you make up for it!
If you want to do this for my own good, then there is no need to hide it from me! I have to make my own decisions. You can try to persuade me, but you are not allowed to make choices for me!"
"I...I just..."
"Don't say anything else. You can only choose to tell me now, or choose to continue hiding it from me."
After secretly touching the black goat's horns and checking Anna's soul state, Leon's expression softened a little and he said softly:
"Like I said just now, you have to make the choice yourself. I can't choose for you, but I still hope you can tell me the situation.
Anna, you have to be prepared. If you continue to hide it from me, I will be very angry. Very, very angry!
But you can rest assured, because I am your brother, so no matter how angry I am, I will definitely forgive you sooner or later! Now you can start choosing! "
Although the choice is yours, if you still choose to hide it from me after saying all I have said, I will go to the director and try to borrow an abnormal object that can read minds!
"I……"
Anna didn't know the despicable plan in Li Shuangbiao's heart. Seeing that at this time, Leon still chose to trust her and gave her the right to choose back, her eyes reddened and she whispered with a little sob:
"I choose to tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
……
"What? Director Aquarius has been to the capital? And he's been to your house?"
After listening to the news that Leon selectively relayed, even the usually calm red-haired director was still shocked by the news.
"Yes, and it happened very recently, the night before the investigator from the bureau came down."
After telling Anna’s story and the conversation between her and Director Aquarius, Leon gritted his teeth with fear on his face and said:
"Director, this person is really too dangerous, and he is very likely planning something extremely dangerous. Can't we conduct an internal investigation of him earlier?"
"I can't."
The red-haired director shook his head helplessly:
“The year-end review in six days is the fastest time I can think of. There is really no way to bring it forward any further…
Well...if you are worried about the safety of your family, you can let your brothers and sisters take a leave of absence from school for a few days and temporarily live in the bureau. I will protect them and they can go back after the review at the end of the year."
"I thought so too...Thank you, Chief!"
After sincerely thanking the red-haired director, Leon couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling the pressure on him finally relieved, then took out the photo and handed it over.
"Chief, although I don't know why Aquarius wants it, what he wants to do is what we should stop. It's better to keep this thing with you. I'm worried that I can't keep it."
Is that the photo that can replace the identity?
After looking at the appearance of Princess Veronica in the photo, the red-haired director pondered for a moment, and then did not take the photo. Instead, he took out a dirty small mirror from the drawer and shook it at the photo.
Seeing the photo flashing slightly and then turning from one to two, Leon couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise.
What is this? A replicating anomaly? Could it be that the director wants to...
"This thing is called [Duplicate], and it's one of the anomalies I own privately. It's also a numbered anomaly, and its true strength is about 30.
As for the ability, just like the name, it can copy anything into an identical replica, including abnormal objects, but the ability will be attenuated to a certain extent, and only one replica can exist at the same time.
In addition, as long as the replica is not destroyed, it will continue to consume my power. The longer it lasts, the more power it consumes. It is a troublesome anomaly with many limitations... But it is still very useful, especially when used for fishing."
After pushing one of the photos over, the red-haired director couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, looking at Leon who seemed to understand something.
"It seems you have guessed it. I have not reported the [Duplicates] to the bureau, so Aquarius should not know about it. This is a good opportunity to set a trap for him.
And in order to prevent him from having the ability to sense the location of abnormal objects and then using some strange abnormal objects to steal things, as a safety measure I only put fake photos here, and the real photos are placed in the small mirror you carry with you.
As for the safety issue, you don't have to worry. For creatures in the non-mirror world, everything in the mirror is just an illusory reflection, without even an actual form. If you don't take it out, he will definitely not be able to find it."
Wow, he can fish and have double insurance at the same time. The director who is not drunk is so reliable!
"Ok!"
After looking at the red-haired director with some admiration, Leon was about to put the photo away, but he saw the red-haired director take out a small box and push it over next to the real photo.
"This is?"
"That sheep's heart... um... it's called [Heart of Ambition], right?"
Seeing Leon’s eyes suddenly brighten with joy, the red-haired chief said with a smile:
"Although the evaluation was shockingly low, you did pass the bureau's investigation. Almost at the same time that you and Emma slapped Prince Joshua, the headquarters sent someone to deliver the stuff."
"Forehead……"
"You were the one who took the lead in beating him up, right?"
Looking at Leon who looked a little embarrassed, the red-haired director's smile faded and he squinted his eyes and said:
"Emma said she did it, and you were just defending her, but I don't need to tell you the truth, do I? Do you know how long the complaint letter that stupid prince sent to the General Administration through the king is?"
"..."
"He complained that our bureau neglected its duties, violated the agreement between the Bureau and the Kingdom, ignored the safety of the royal family, failed to capture illegal abnormal object holders, wantonly beat the heir to the throne, and the cleanup mission affected innocent people, causing the great nobles to be almost exterminated... He wrote more than thirty points!
Really... Fortunately, you hit him today and the complaint letter was delivered before the end-of-year review. Otherwise, based on the strength of his complaint this time, we would probably still be at the bottom next year!"
"..."
After complaining a few words, the red-haired director habitually took the bottle of wine, wanting to take a sip to relieve the sorrow in his heart, but after thinking about it, he put it back, picked up a cup of hot tea, and said to Leon, who looked embarrassed, with a smile:
"Little Leon~ You've caused me so much trouble today, do you want to take on a slightly more difficult task to compensate me?"
"..."
Looking at the red-haired chief's narrowed fox eyes, Leon instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he had just been caught in a sore spot, so he had to nod resignedly.
"it is good……"
"Well!"
After reaching out and tapping the photos on the table, the red-haired director smiled and said:
"After I use the inspection to lure the water bottle away and make sure there is no danger, how about you use it to go undercover in the rebel group?"
