Chapter 239 It's her, it's her
Chapter 239 It's her, it's her
So... you're not here to cause trouble? Or even to thank me? Then what I just did...
Looking at Leon who was shaking her hand vigorously, the female reporter recalled her own sarcastic provocation just now, and her ears suddenly turned red, and she felt a strong sense of shame.
The performance of the person who successfully grabbed her hand was not much better. After reading the information given by [Materialism], Leon's pupils couldn't help but shrink instantly!
……
[Name: No Tentacles (Flesh, Energy, Soul)]
[Appearance: A white and delicate female palm that emits a faint white glow at night. No matter it is hacked by a knife or an axe, frozen or burned, cursed by voodoo, or impacted by the spiritual will, it cannot cause any harm to it.]
[Ability: Flesh and blood cannot be touched, energy cannot be touched, soul cannot be touched]
[Price: Permanently lose your original hands]
[File: The hands of a nun who has served the God of Secrets all her life. She was chosen as one of the ninety-nine "Hidden Ones" since birth, and her five senses were completely blocked and destroyed.
Although she lived in this world, in her long life of 150 years, she had never had any intersection with this world except through touching it with her hands. She was truly a "secret person who never existed."
When the nun was about to reach the end of her life, her hands were taken off by the believers of the Secret Church and prepared to be offered to the Secret God, but the twin branches of the Cleanup Bureau arrived at the right time and killed all the believers in the Secret Church stronghold, destroying the sacrifice.
After completing the cleanup mission, the then director of the Gemini Branch found this nun, who didn't even have a name, among the pile of corpses behind the altar, and gave her an "abnormal seed". In exchange for her hands being unable to touch anything again, she gained her five senses for one day and one night as her life was coming to an end.
After the nun died, the "No Tentacles" born from her obsession was stored in the warehouse of the Gemini Branch. Decades later, Nicole Kroman, a first-level cleaner of the Gemini Branch, lost her original hands due to a mission and became the new user of "No Tentacles", and has been doing so ever since.
[Evaluation: This abnormal object has extremely low upper and lower limits. Although it can resist all contact below that of a True God, it must be activated actively and blocked with the hand. Therefore, only those with extremely strong physical fitness and reaction speed can exert its due power.]
[Infiltration value: 28.1]
Twenty-eight points of infection! A first-class cleaner at the Gemini Branch!
When Leon saw the prefix written in front of the name "Ms. Nicole" in the [No Tentacle] file, his mind suddenly buzzed. Many things that he couldn't understand before were instantly connected together, and the cloud of doubts that shrouded his heart suddenly dissipated.
Yes, given Director Aquarius's style of keeping a backup plan, how could he leave the rebels alone and let them fend for themselves under the nose of the red-haired director? He would definitely find a way to keep a backup plan in case they really revealed their true colors and were caught by the Virgo Branch.
And the person he sent as a backup was probably Miss Nicole in front of him. This female reporter was not a member of the gang at all, let alone the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Owen. She was a first-level cleaner of the Gemini Branch. She was most likely like himself, using some abnormal objects to sneak into the gang!
Also, the reason why she was not there when the rebels had their meeting before was probably because she went to kill Emma's enemies so that Emma could be taken away by the people from the General Administration. And the person who broke into the Cleanup Bureau yesterday and took away the fake photos must have been her!
As for the evidence…
After taking a look at the sweat oozing from the female reporter's forehead and the fact that she was obviously wearing too thick clothes in the very hot room, Leon immediately reaffirmed his judgment.
If Miss Nicole took off her clothes now, her body would be covered with bandages. The reason why she insisted on wearing a shawl and covering her body tightly was to cover the wounds on her body cut by the director's hair!
Also, her ears were clearly red with shame, but the color of her face did not change noticeably. It was probably because she had put on makeup or used some unusual substance to cover up her pale face after losing too much blood, which was also consistent with the situation of the thief.
Finally, the black goat once said that its tail represents laziness and secrecy, so its ability is likely to eliminate the breath that leaves the body, which is exactly the same as the thief yesterday, so... it's her! It's her! It's her!
Wow, I came here originally just because I saw a familiar name and wanted to check out the last rebel, but I didn’t expect to dig up a big fish!
……
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know how to explain it just now, so I think you may have misunderstood me."
After calming down his agitated mood, Leon released his delicate hands that had a 28-point immersion value, quickly switched to [Elite Performer], and explained with an eager smile:
"In fact, I didn't know the relationship between me and the Ryan family at the beginning. Even if I was forced to succeed the Duke, I was not prepared to be a real noble. Marrying into the royal family was just an excuse to get rid of the Duke's identity."
"I see……"
Seeing that Leon didn't hold on to her "outrageous words" just now, the ashamed female reporter felt a little better, and then nodded awkwardly:
"Then you...then you are really special...hehe."
"No, although I am special, you are more special!"
After grabbing the female reporter's hands again and shaking them vigorously, Leon secretly unbuttoned her wrists and said with a half-truth and a half-falseness:
"Ms. Nicole, do you know how many newspapers and reporters I contacted in order to expose this matter?"
Without waiting for the female reporter to answer, Leon, who vaguely saw a corner of the bandage in her sleeve, said with an "excited" face:
"Nine! I made appointments with people from nine newspapers in one day. I went to almost every newspaper in the capital that was known for being outspoken, but no one was willing to publish the story. Some even wanted to arrest me and take away the evidence!
This is so... so dark! Damn Ryan's family! I still get angry when I think about it now!"
"..."
Looking at the new Duke of Lionheart in front of her who was angrily scolding the Ryan family, the female reporter couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start, so she could only shut her mouth obediently and hummed vaguely.
"Ms. Nicole, I knew you couldn't stand this kind of thing either, so that's why you helped to expose it! Oh! If I had found your Sun earlier, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble!"
After hearing the female reporter's "echo", Leon immediately took advantage of the situation and praised her highly, calling her the savior of the kingdom's media industry and the last conscience of the capital's press.
Leon was already a little sincere, and with the strong support of an elite performer, his praise seemed particularly sincere. He was almost heading towards the direction of a brainless fan. In the end, the female reporter couldn't stand it anymore and waved her hands to shirk responsibility:
"No, no, no, I just happened to be here. I'm really not as good as you say. My report... um... also has many shortcomings."
"Haha, you are too modest, but I am indeed a little bit lacking."
Leon seemed to remember something after hearing this, nodded and said with a smile:
"For example, Miss Nicole, you only heard about these news reports about me, but you didn't get first-hand information, so there are indeed some minor deviations in the reports... How about this, Miss Nicole, are you interested in an exclusive interview with me?"
"Exclusive interview?"
"Yes! An interview!"
Lyon smiled and said:
"Although I have succeeded the Duke, I still have a very special job in a small department under the Ministry of Police. When you are free in a couple of days, would you like to interview me there?"
