Chapter 227 Traditional Face Jump
Chapter 227 Traditional Face Jump
"It's not a betrayal. The Gemini branch chief's body contains the brain of Director Aquarius."
Without asking Leon to answer the question directly, the red-haired director, who had already asked him in advance and roughly knew the reason, answered:
"In order to prevent the God-level Brain Eater from reading his memory, Aquarius copied his own brain, combined it with his original body and emotions, and a small portion of his soul that was cut off, to create a fake body that was indistinguishable from the real thing.
The brain in the fake body is usually half-closed. Aquarius's real brain hidden in Director Gemini's body uses soul fragments to control two bodies at the same time. The brain in the fake body will be temporarily unsealed before and after the memory is read.
As for what happened just now, he activated the [Time Gap] to speed up his own time, took back the soul fragments, and then used an abnormal object called [The Gate to the Other World]..."
"So that's what happened..."
After listening to the explanation given by the red-haired director and understanding why Director Aquarius was so sure to hide his memory from being read, the director of the Cleanup Bureau couldn't help but frown and said:
"Even the brain can be replaced... Has the medical level of the Korok Kingdom developed to this extent?"
"That's not clear."
The red-haired director shook his head and said:
"The Korok Kingdom is quite closed. Apart from purchasing minerals and energy, it does not have much communication with the outside world. Only people in the Gemini Branch know the situation there."
Gemini Branch... The director of the Gemini Branch is Director Aquarius. Even if he is not the director, he should be controlled by Director Aquarius. The entire Gemini Branch is no longer trustworthy.
After shaking his head slightly, the director of the Cleanup Bureau wanted to ask more questions, but a tall and thin man stood up and asked meaningfully:
"Olivia, you weren't the one accelerated by the Time Gap, were you? Why did you have to relay the situation instead of letting the Level 3 Cleaner speak for herself?"
"Any questions?"
The pretty fox eyes narrowed slightly, and after glancing at the man who asked the question, the red-haired director said unkindly:
"Edward! If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush!"
"I don't mean anything, I'm just curious."
The tall and thin man raised his eyebrows and said:
"Everyone has seen it just now. The people who were accelerated by the [Time Gap] were not only Aquarius, but also this Level 3 cleaner from your bureau. Moreover, the two of them seemed to be alone for quite a long time.
So could you please explain to me how this Level 3 Incident Handler, who had just joined the Cleanup Bureau, had managed to stay under Director Aquarius for so long without being killed?"
“I gave Leon the means to save his life. As for what happened, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Perhaps knowing that this situation would happen, the red-haired chief fought back without hesitation.
“In addition, the first person to discover that there was something wrong with Aquarius was Leon, and it was also him who brought the key evidence when the questioning reached a stalemate, forcing Aquarius to accept the memory reading.
If you suspect he is in league with Aquarius, then I suggest you first open up your own brain and see if it is already rotten with stupidity!"
After the red-haired chief finished speaking, Beverly from the Lion Bureau also stood up and said with glaring eyes:
"Edward! Just mind your own business! Don't jump out and disgust others at a time like this!"
"I'm just raising reasonable questions. There's no need to react so strongly, right?"
The man named Edward was humiliated but was not angry. He waved his hand to indicate that he meant no harm, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers with a smile.
When the snap of fingers happened, Leon felt his palm swell slightly, and a resin card with a scorpion pushing a dung ball on it was strangely stuffed into his palm.
"This is the Scorpio Branch's ID. As long as you stamp it with my seal, you can join the Scorpio Branch directly like the others who left the Virgin Bureau."
After explaining the meaning of this thing, the tall and thin man smiled as he looked at Leon who was checking the card:
“Young man, I have high hopes for you. If you can’t stand Olivia like those seniors in the Virgo Branch, you can take it and jump to our Scorpio Branch. The Scorpio Branch will also welcome you.
Although I can't guarantee anything, at least we have enough people in the Scorpio Bureau, so we don't need newcomers to take on such dangerous tasks, or even be used as bait to capture Director Aquarius..." "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Beverly said angrily:
"We didn't use Leon as bait! The director of the Gemini Branch was Director Aquarius, and no one knew about it at the time. It was just an accident that Leon faced him alone!"
"Oh? So you didn't know that he will be targeted by Aquarius next."
Edward from the Scorpio Branch raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said curiously:
"That's strange. If she didn't know this would happen, why did Olivia give him the means to save his life? Could it be that the powerful means that can save a director's life have become so common that they can be given to anyone casually?"
"you!"
"Why are you always in such a hurry?"
The tall and thin man said with a smile:
"This matter involves the Watchtower Palace. I am only raising some reasonable doubts. If I am wrong in the end, I can apologize to you."
……
This guy... dares to stand out and cause trouble at a time like this, it seems that he is the mortal enemy of his own director.
And from what he said, many of the people who left the Virgo bureau in the past have probably gone to the Scorpio bureau. The grudges between the two sides seem to be quite deep?
Looking at the man who made the Lion Bureau chief stare at the two sarcastic words, Leon simply opened the resin card in his hand, looked at the name on it, and said thoughtfully:
"Edward Carson... this name sounds familiar..."
"Oh? You've heard of me?"
The tall and thin man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and continued with a smile:
"Your chief really hates me, so he probably won't tell you my name, so... did you hear it from those seniors who left the Virgin Branch?"
"No."
Lyon shook his head and said:
"When the Time Gap was activated, Director Aquarius once talked about cleaning up the list of people in the bureau who were in collusion with him. I feel like I might have heard it at that time."
"..."
Caught off guard by Leon's words, the smile on the tall and thin man's face suddenly froze, and then he shouted with a gloomy face:
"Think it over before you speak! How could Aquarius tell you, a Level 3 cleaner, something so important? And he's a traitor, so even if he did tell you, it won't count!"
"Normally it's unlikely."
Leon nodded in agreement, then blinked and said:
"But he took out something called the Scales of Truth, and told me a few secrets first. Then, he used the power of that anomaly to force me to tell some corresponding secrets. Under the power of this thing, both he and I could only tell the truth."
"then you……"
"I really had no choice but to tell a lot of important secrets and leak some very important information for the Virgin Branch. I feel really sorry for our director... But it's not a loss to get the list of traitors."
After nodding his head to apologize to the red-haired chief who unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, Leon turned his head again and looked at the tall and thin man who looked a little uneasy, and suggested sincerely:
"Honestly, although I can't guarantee that you are a traitor, the name does sound familiar. Plus, the matter involves the Overwatch Palace, so...how about you go to that brain-eating demon and let it lick you a few times? If it proves that you are not a traitor, I can also apologize to you."
"..."
