Chapter 211 The Secret of Aquarius
Chapter 211 The Secret of Aquarius (Part )
"I seem to understand why you touched my hand..."
Senior Jerry tried to pull it three times, and his right hand was also pulled three times by an inexplicable force. Recalling the prophetic dream of "Young Joshua", Leon could not help but suddenly realize:
"Just like the Nightmare King makes two Joshuas have nightmares together, in the judgment of [The Luck Thief], these two Joshuas should be one person with two different destinies, so two 'items' that have the greatest impact on him appeared.
If I'm not mistaken, the shadow on the left should be the thing that has the greatest impact on middle-aged Joshua. As for my right hand, it is probably the thing that has the greatest impact on the fate of young Joshua, so it also appears in the options. "
"..."
In this case, it barely makes sense?
After listening to Leon's guess, Jerry nodded slightly in agreement, then asked in confusion:
"Leon, what's wrong with your hand? Why does it have such a big impact on Prince Joshua's fate?"
"Um... Actually, it's nothing. I just slapped him twice..."
After briefly talking about the big fight in the inheritance ceremony and the beating of the real brother-in-law when he and Emma went to investigate, Leon explained confidently in the eyes of the short man who looked as if he had seen a ghost:
"I didn't use any abnormal objects, I just beat them with my hands. The agreement between the General Administration and the royal families of various countries only states that abnormal objects cannot be used to affect or harm royal family members. It doesn't say that you can't beat them directly, right?"
"..."
It's true that this isn't in the agreement, but that's because for a normal person, the probability of attacking the prince and killing him is higher than the probability of slapping him in the face, okay?
You really are... I thought it was outrageous enough that I stole things from the royal family, but I didn't expect there would be a master like you. You are worthy of being able to join our Virgin Branch. You are really a tough guy!
After silently giving Leon a thumbs up, the short man changed the target of [Luck Stealing Hand] and grabbed the slightly trembling unknown object on the left.
Although we couldn’t be sure which one was the [Gate on the Other Side] before, now that we have confirmed that the one on the right is Leon’s hand, the real Gate on the Other Side must be the one on the left. All we have to do next is steal it... Huh?
The mutation reappears.
With a slight "pop" sound, the unidentified shadow on the left suddenly exploded the moment Jerry caught it. Then, like a beast that smelled fresh flesh and blood, or an evil ghost that found the spider silk to escape from purgatory, it climbed up madly along Jerry's right hand!
? ! ! !
Seeing this strange scene, the two men immediately realized that something was wrong. Jerry did not immediately withdraw his right hand, but stretched out his left hand towards the office window glass and let out an urgent dog bark.
"Wang!"
With a crisp response, the golden dog's head flashed past the window glass, and an unsharpened dagger suddenly appeared in Jerry's left hand.
He grabbed the dagger with strange patterns on it, and while pulling back his right hand, he pressed the blade of the dagger against the skin on the back of his right hand and cut off a small piece. Leon, who was standing next to him, pulled off the red hair tied around his neck and threw it towards Joshua's heart.
"Ma Bu Wu!"
With a strange roar that was half angry and half desperate, Jerry's arm that was caught by the shadow suddenly turned into a small piece of skin that he had cut off on his own initiative.
As he pulled his hand back, the small part that had chased out from Joshua's heart was cut into countless black flesh particles in an instant by the director's red hair that smelled slightly of blood, and was directly smeared on a large area of the carpet.
Where's the gate to the other side? What the hell is this?!
…“Don’t go!”
Just when Leon and the other man were still in shock, the phantom that seemed to have recognized their race, speaking an unknown language, suddenly started speaking "human" language.
"Take me out! Take me out!"
Following the wave of [The Luck Stealer] that had not yet dissipated, it chased all the way to Joshua's heart. It then desperately rammed outward from the inside, creating violent ripples on Joshua's heart, while screaming madly:
"Wealth! Power! Youth! Even eternal life! As long as you can rescue me, I can give you everything!"
"Fuck you!"
In order to get rid of this unknown thing, Jerry was forced to cut off a large piece of his flesh with a blunt knife. Grinning in pain, he couldn't help cursing and was ready to stop using "The Luck Stealer" to make this thing, which looked like it was not easy to deal with, get as far away as possible.
But just as he was about to stop, Leon reached out to stop him.
'Wait, let me ask it a few questions!'
After stopping Jerry through soul transmission, Leon first took out the bandage and wrapped it around Jerry's hand to help him recover from the injury. Then he stared at the shadow that had become much clearer and asked very quickly:
"Who on earth are you? What's your relationship with Aquarius Director of the Cleanup Bureau?"
"Aquarius!!!"
After hearing the word "Aquarius Director", the strange thing suddenly became excited and roared:
“He’s the one who imprisoned me!
He files my bones! He cuts my flesh! He squeezes my blood! Damn Aquarius! If I get out of here, I will make him experience for himself what kind of torture I have endured for the past two thousand years!"
More than two thousand years?
After hearing the roar of the unknown object, Leon and the other man looked at each other in shock, and then Leon continued to ask:
"You mean to say... the current Aquarius director has lived for more than two thousand years?"
"Live for two thousand years? Does he deserve it?"
After madly cursing Director Aquarius for a few words, he seemed to have regained some of his sanity. He knew that the two humans in front of him would not be able to save him and most likely just wanted to get some information. The thing simply sneered and mocked:
"You lowly short-lived creatures, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot transcend the constraints of the flesh. If you don't replace your flesh, one hundred and fifty years is the limit for you humans!
The Aquarius who imprisoned me was not this loser now, but the Aquarius director fifteen generations ago! These damn bastards directly regarded me as their property, which has been passed down for fifteen generations!"
Thinking of the endless torture he had endured in the past two thousand years, that unknown thing started another round of hysterical cursing, a lot of human words mixed with some incomprehensible ancient language, coupled with the strange sound of a knife scraping glass, which made Leon and the other man's ears hurt.
After cursing heartily, the unknown being nodded in satisfaction at the two humans “outside” who looked miserable but did not leave, and then sneered:
“Stop talking nonsense, I can see that no matter what benefits I promise you, you two bastards will not take me out.
But you are obviously not on the same side as Aquarius. You may have found me to find something to hold against him... So hurry up! If you have any questions, ask them now before Aquarius finds out someone has approached me!"
