Chapter 224 0224
Following the verdict of the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, the "Eye of the Sun" in the sky suddenly lit up, and the sunlight, which was almost unimaginably scorching, flowed down like a waterfall, directly pouring on Director Aquarius.
"Damn it! It's all your fault!"
Amid the shock of the crowd, Director Aquarius, who was directly hit by the sunlight, was not burned to ashes. Instead, he stood up in the scorching sunlight, surrounded by some strange smoke-like things, and stared at the main stage, roaring with red eyes:
"Why did you come back? As long as you don't show up today! You only need to wait one more day!"
I was shocked. I thought my tampering had been discovered...
Realizing that Director Aquarius' roar was not directed at him but at the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, Leon, who was also standing on the main stage, breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly moved to the side, trying to shrink behind the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, fearing that Director Aquarius's dying struggle would affect him.
As for the phantom of the director of the Cleaning Bureau, his attention was all on Director Aquarius at the moment, so he didn't pay attention to Leon's little movements, but waved to the sun with a cold face.
"boom!"
With a sound similar to that of a waterfall, the sunlight coming down from above suddenly became several times hotter, and a golden torrent came crashing down, completely penetrating the smoke and dust around Director Aquarius.
As this life-saving anomaly was shattered, Director Aquarius's body was completely destroyed in an instant. Even the scattered ashes were burned away by the sunlight that had almost turned into liquid. Only a soul screaming unwillingly was left in its place.
After glancing at the soul of the Aquarius director and confirming that there was no problem, the director of the Cleanup Bureau turned his head to look at the position of the Gemini branch director, as if he wanted to give some instructions, but after hesitating for a moment, he looked at the position of the Pisces branch director.
"Medea, the execution of Aquarius has been completed, and your Pisces Branch is also quite good at handling souls, so you can take Aquarius' soul away.
In addition to his actions over the years and his plans for the Watch Palace, we must also try to find out the locations of the anomalies he created and his knowledge of the Aquarius secret arts."
"Ok."
The veiled Pisces director nodded slightly and accepted the task. After making the arrangements, the director of the Cleanup Bureau turned to look at Leon behind him and asked:
"Your...that...ability...can...you...use..."
Ok?
Seeing the director of the Cleanup Bureau suddenly start to "slow down" and twist his body involuntarily, Leon was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help asking:
"Director? What are you doing?"
"It's probably because of the old soil. The flow of time there has begun to slow down again."
The veiled woman who left the Pisces director's seat and was about to take away the Aquarius soul explained:
"The director's real body is not here, but... is... in... the old... land..."
???
No? Why are you slowing down the video?
After looking at the veiled woman in surprise, Leon turned around and was about to ask his own director, but he was extremely shocked to find that the entire headquarters of the Cleanup Bureau, including his own director, had slowed down.
Moreover, the degree of slowing down was actually getting faster and faster. The veiled woman, who could originally say a word every three seconds, was now unable to utter the next word after more than half a minute.
……
"I really didn't expect that even though I was so well prepared, you guys would still mess things up."
With a voice without any ups and downs, the director of the Gemini Branch walked slowly over. In Leon's shocked eyes, he bypassed the veiled woman in front of him and grabbed the soul of the Aquarius director in his hand. "Who are you?"
"I'm the chief of the Gemini branch, and also the Aquarius director... or rather the container that holds his original brain."
After pointing to his forehead, the director of the Gemini Branch took out a small scale and placed it in his hand, then stared at Leon and said calmly:
“The one that was just executed was my real body, the copied brain, and the stripped emotions and part of my soul. After all, it is too painful to have my brain licked by a brain-eating demon. I really don’t want to experience it myself, so I just came up with this idea.
In addition, during this period of time, I thought about it carefully. Although there was a one-day difference in time and there were some errors in the results of the operation, since the brain in this body was not affected, the brain of the other me should not be affected too much.
So the reason why my memory cannot be completely copied by the Dream Furnace is probably not the operation of the Korok Kingdom, but the problem lies with the God-level Brain Eater. And the only person who has directly touched that thing is you... I am very curious, how do you control it?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Goodbye? There is still a twist!
Looking at the Gemini director...or the Aquarius director who was looking at him expressionlessly and waiting for his answer, Leon was really annoyed.
Apart from anything else, what do the people in the Cleanup Bureau do for a living?
You guys are so awesome, not only did you capture so many gods and demons, you also hollowed out asteroids to build your headquarters, and even pulled the sun over to use, why are you all slowed down now? If Aquarius had been a little more ruthless today, the cleanup bureau would have been wiped out?
"Don't worry, I can't hurt them. I can't even make contact with them."
As if seeing Leon's thoughts, the Gemini Branch Director...or the real Aquarius Director spoke:
"My ability is not to slow them down, but to speed you and me up. Our current state is like two gears that have been stripped from the 'machine' of the world, so we can rotate at a speed far exceeding the normal flow of time.
But once we come into contact with other people, we are only temporarily out of the gears of the machine, and then we will start to mesh again and immediately return to the original speed. So although our current state is wonderful, we can't actually do anything."
[Through personal observation and the user's explanation, you have obtained a lot of information about the "Time Gap", and the special-colored badge "Materialistic Soul (Red)" has been activated.
Since you understand some of the rules of "Time Gap", your resistance to this anomaly has increased, and you can now shield against lower levels of influence.]
Only lower...that's not helpful!
Looking at the real Aquarius director who was not in a hurry, he found that he did not seem to resist communicating with him. With the intention of struggling even if he was caught, Leon gritted his teeth and asked:
"If you want to get your soul back, you only need to speed yourself up. Why did you speed me up as well?"
"To gain intelligence, of course."
After shaking the scale in his hand, Director Aquarius said slowly:
"This thing is called the 'Balance of Truth'. As long as one party gives a secret of sufficient value, then when he starts asking questions, the other party must honestly answer with a secret of equal value, no matter how unwilling he is.
As for why I chose you, first, I'm curious about what you did to the Brain Eater, second, I want to know the situation in the kingdom, third, I want to find out the news about the Virgin Branch, and the most important reason is because you are weak enough.
If the person who was accelerated with me was Olivia, or Beverly from the Lion Bureau, not only would the energy consumption be incredibly huge, but I might not be able to beat them.
You require less energy, know more, have secrets that interest me, and are the easiest to handle once I obtain the intelligence, so of course I have to choose you."
"..."
"Well... the reasons for the two of me, the secret of time acceleration, the power of the Balance of Truth, and why I chose you... these should add up to about the same."
After counting out four weights of different sizes and placing them on the left side of the small balance, Director Aquarius nodded with satisfaction at the raised tray on the right side. He then looked at Leon and asked calmly:
"It's your turn now. First question, what did you do to that brain-eating demon?"
