Chapter 299 Life-saving Apple

Am I always unlucky?

After hearing the lazy young man's question, Leon, who was surprised, couldn't help but look serious and asked quickly:

"Yes! My luck has never been very good. No matter how well I plan, something goes wrong every time I carry out a mission. I always encounter some inexplicable dangers. Even when I am watching a scene, I may encounter an abnormal object that suddenly goes out of control... Senior, do you have any clues?"

"A clue... Rather than a clue, it's better to call it experience..."

After throwing the sour apple in his hand and knocking the picture frame on the wall beside the stairs crooked, the lazy young man said with a sad face:

"If I'm not mistaken, our situations are similar. We both offended the world's will because of something, and are hated by the world."

"Being hated by the world? What does that mean?"

"To put it simply, it's just inexplicable bad luck and misfortune."

After looking at the picture frame that was slowly falling down towards the stairs due to the nails slowly coming off, the lazy young man took Leon a step forward and sighed:

“I don’t know about you, but in my case, I leaked too much of the future, erased some things that should have happened, and caused a lot of changes in the direction of the world, so I was rejected by the world’s will.

For example... You know Director Aquarius, right? Did the Director tell you that he made my core anomaly, the pair of dice that can calculate probability?"

"I did say something..."

"If the director told you about this, he would have said more than 'some'. He would have said a lot."

The lazy young man said helplessly:

"She also told you to be careful with me and not to trust me completely, right?"

"Forehead……"

"It's okay, the chief is right."

Amid the harsh sound of the heavy wooden picture frame falling down and smashing the stair railing, the lazy young man explained to the somewhat embarrassed Leon:

"You've exposed Director Shui Jing's goal. Now, all the management members of each branch have known that he was planning to sneak into the Watchtower Palace. However, I was actually the first to know about his goal. I can even be considered as colluding with him. The director was right to tell you to be careful."

"what?"

"Ah, it's mainly because of my bad luck..."

After sighing quietly, the lazy young man muttered with an awkward expression:
"When the anomaly was created, Director Aquarius asked me about my abilities, and I told him. Then he became interested and asked me to do him a small favor.

Director Aquarius is very good at creating anomalies. I don't know how many people in the Cleanup Bureau have used the anomalies he created. His connections are comparable to those of Sir Taurus. If such a big shot asks you for help in a nice way, would you help him?"

"..."

If it were me... facing the request of a director who has a high reputation and status and can also produce abnormal objects, I would probably agree...

“Right?” After seeing the recognition in Leon’s eyes, the lazy young man couldn’t help but complain:
"I was so unlucky. Who knew that a director like him could harbor evil intentions? So I agreed without a second thought. It wasn't until he gave me a warning not to leak any information that I realized something was wrong. But by then it was too late."

After avoiding the handrail that was smashed and fell to the side, Tom pushed Leon's back and led him down before the suspended stone staircase collapsed. He said with a gloomy face:

"Director Aquarius has a ritual anomaly that can temporarily raise my Leon value. He forced me to drink a lot of the flesh and blood of the true god, temporarily changing my race. He also forced me to drink his blood, cut open my arm and stuffed his rotten flesh into it, and planted his fallen teeth between my eyebrows..."

After pointing to the strange scar between his eyebrows, the lazy young man gritted his teeth and said:
"After a lot of hard work, he forced my Lyon value to nearly 70 points, and then forced me to use dice to help him calculate how to let him replace the next Palace Ascendant and become the new Palace Ascendant to ascend to the Watch Palace.

I had no choice but to help him, and raised his chance of winning the palace from 12% to 66%, but because of this, I became hated by the world, and now I have to face bad luck at any time... Hey! Is there anyone up there? The stairs suddenly collapsed and we can't go back!"

Unaware that the person asking the question was the culprit who destroyed the nearly 50-meter-long staircase, after hearing Senior Tom's question, the person who heard the noise and rushed over quickly replied:

"We are trying to find a solution... How are you feeling now? If you are not feeling well, please continue to go down. The head of our Masaini family is also down there. He can help you come up. Also, this is the token you need to continue going down. Please take it!"

Along with the vague shouts of the man above, a bright silver cat's paw badge was thrown down. After bouncing twice among the wreckage of the stairs, it landed with incredible precision into the open palm of the lazy young man.

"Okay, I've got my badge, let's talk while we walk."

After pinning the badge that he had hit with the sour apple on his collar, the lazy young man led Leon down and explained:

“This world loves humans. Compared to the demons that will turn the entire earth into lava, the evil gods that are ready to make the sun never rise, the children of the moon who want to hollow out the earth’s core like the moon, or the prehistoric people who want to freeze everything and return to the ice age, we humans are the most gentle creatures to her, and we will even consciously maintain her stability.

Therefore, anything that can cause danger to humans and the world, or that has the potential to destroy this stable existence, will be rejected invisibly by the world will. However, the world will cannot kill us directly, so it can only use some unconventional means to make us unstable elements suffer endlessly, in order to kill us or drive us out. "

"..."

No... can it be like this?

"Don't worry, this kind of disgust from the world is not entirely a bad thing."

Looking at Leon who looked a little surprised, the lazy young man took out an apple from somewhere and handed it to him, saying with a complicated expression:
“The wheel of fortune is equal for everyone. It is impossible for it to remain at a low level forever. Therefore, as long as we, the unlucky ones hated by the world, can survive the bad luck bestowed by the world’s will, we will usher in a surge in our fortunes.

However, after the rapid rise, there was an even more ferocious fall.

Compared to the slightly fluctuating fate of others, the fate of people like you and me is like a wave line that fluctuates more and more strongly. The gains and crises we encounter will continue to grow until we become a god who transcends everything at a certain towering peak, or are suddenly sent to the world of the dead by bad luck at a certain fatal trough. "

Either "become a god" or "become a ghost"?

Feeling that Senior Tom was not lying to him, Leon pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask:

"What about you, Senior? What is your current situation?"

"I can't become a god, but I can't die either... I can't die under normal circumstances."

After pointing at the apple in Leon's hand, the lazy young man suggested seriously:
"If you want to believe me, just carry some apples with you. When you find your luck is getting worse, eat one and throw away the apple core. This core can save your life at a critical moment."
