Chapter 389 Partners
"I do mean that."
Facing the Nightmare King's cold questioning, Director Aquarius laughed and admitted without hiding anything:
“Although I have now defected from the Cleanup Bureau, I was once a director of the Cleanup Bureau after all.
I have been on good terms with you guys for so many years, and this time I suddenly let you in, and I feel a little awkward, so I wanted to harm you to atone for my sin, but it’s a pity that you saw through me.”
“It’s not completely clear.”
The blurred face faded from the boat and returned to its original position. The gray mist soaked in the dark river water was like a wet cloak, sticky on the body of the Nightmare King, clearly outlining his skinny figure.
After twisting his grey robe that was soaked with countless nightmares, the Nightmare King stretched out his skinny arm, supported the mirror-like crown on his head, then looked down at the two people on the boat and said in a deep voice:
"I am indeed a little curious about what is so special about the Level 3 cleaner who forced you to cooperate with me. However, it is absolutely impossible for you to use him to kill me.
I am immortal in the Abyss of the Fallen Souls. Without you, the Aquarius Director, even if all the remaining eleven directors of your Cleanup Bureau come, they can’t kill me, let alone a Level 3 Cleaner.”
"Yeah, as long as you have confidence."
After a noncommittal smile, Director Aquarius said:
"Enough of the nonsense, it's time to help me repair my soul, right? Where should I sleep? On this ship?"
"As long as you can sleep, you can sleep anywhere, but..."
After taking a look at Director Aquarius, the Nightmare King raised his hand and tore off a corner of his robe, spreading it flat on the black river below him, then said with a slightly playful smile:
"To achieve the most perfect effect, fall asleep completely and wake up completely from reality, it's best to sleep on my robe during this process... Do you want to come over?"
"why not?"
Under the surprised gazes of the female reporter and the Nightmare King, Director Aquarius actually took the initiative to step down from the boat and walked towards the gray robe spread on the river.
"No! No!"
Seeing that he was actually serious, the female reporter couldn't help but said anxiously:
"The robe of the Nightmare King is also a part of his body! If you fall asleep on his robe, when you wake up in reality, the robe will become a part of you! Even if you are not completely controlled by it, you will be affected by it!"
"It doesn't matter, we are partners!"
Under the silent gaze of the Nightmare King, Director Aquarius lay down on the gray robe with extreme relaxation and said with a smile:
"My goal is to repair my soul, so I naturally want to achieve the most complete effect. Since sleeping on its robe has a better effect, I will definitely give it a try."
"..."
Damn it... He's worthy of being the director of the Cleanup Bureau!
Seeing that Director Aquarius really didn't have any backup plan and just relaxed on his robe, the Nightmare King's eyes hidden behind the gray fog slightly lost their original confidence and revealed a deep fear.
The whole process of repairing the damaged soul by exchanging dreams and reality is led by oneself. Faced with the Aquarius director who comes to the door, it is natural for oneself, as the leader, to do some tricks.
The Aquarius director obviously knew this, and knowing that being manipulated was inevitable, he simply didn't even bother to take precautions and simply let his soul do whatever it wanted.
If it hadn't been for this incident, I would most likely have secretly left some backup plans while repairing his soul, leaving out a few flaws that could cause his soul to collapse quickly, in order to force him to be loyal to me.
But now that he has taken the initiative to open his soul and let me make the mark, these little tricks are no longer necessary. In order to ensure the stability and usability of this "tool" that belongs to me, I will do my best to repair his soul more completely. But it is impossible for someone like him to really submit to me and be willing to be a servant.
And there is probably only one reason why he is willing to let go of his soul and allow himself to tamper with it... That is because he is sure that he will not survive and will be completely wiped out by the Cleansing Bureau!
After all, as long as I, who left the mark, die, it doesn't matter whether there is a mark left by me in his soul, right?
His mind raced in an instant, and after vaguely guessing Director Aquarius's thoughts, the gray fog giant couldn't help but snorted coldly.
I saw its palm, with flesh draped over bones, grasping the air, and the grey robe under Director Aquarius suddenly rolled up, wrapping him up and sinking him into the black river filled with countless nightmares.
And at the place where Director Aquarius sank, a dark dream filled with blood slowly emerged on the river surface which was as dark as the night sky.
Faith, determination, death, remorse, wailing, doubt, collapse, madness... Emotions so strong and pure that even the King of Nightmares was shocked, directly boiled a large area of the dark river surface.
Then, a yellowish hand that looked much younger than Director Aquarius, with smooth, tight skin and no age spots, stretched out from the bloody dream and firmly grasped the boiling river surface.
"really not bad."
A young man wearing a light blue robe covered in blood, with an expression that looked like he was half crying and half laughing, and a figure that looked a little erratic, climbed out of the bloody dream and boarded the boat steadily under the complicated gaze of the female reporter.
"I haven't felt this light in years."
After moving his much younger body and looking at his slightly transparent palms, he looked at the Aquarius Director, who was only in his early 40s, nodded with great satisfaction, and then smiled and said to the gray fog giant:
"Since you helped me regain my youth, I'll give you another piece of news... Based on my understanding of the Cleanup Bureau, the director of the Scorpio Branch will most likely be sent here."
"what?!"
After hearing what Director Aquarius said, the grey mist on the Nightmare King's body surged, and he couldn't help but shouted angrily:
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? If the two Huang Dao directors join forces, even I wouldn't be able to get out!"
"Don't worry. He has a bad relationship with Blood-Haired Princess. If he is forced to come to support, he will not be willing to exert his full strength. It will be easy to deal with him."
After sitting in the wooden boat and tapping the stern with his hand, Director Aquarius said with a smile:
"They won't go out together. They will definitely act separately. When the time comes, you can send a few servants who look similar to him to temporarily trap him in a troublesome dream.
Given his personality, as long as you can make him understand that to break free from the dream, he must pay a certain price, and it may even be dangerous, he will be trapped by you obediently. "
"..."
"Before you go, I'll add one more thing... Remember to bring the Fallen Soul Black Abyss to reality first, and then deal with the people from the Cleanup Bureau."
After waving his hand at the gray fog giant, the Aquarius director on the ship said seriously:
"Please don't die too early. If you are killed by Leon before I wake up in reality, I will be very worried."
"..."
Kill him! I'll kill him as soon as I see him!
