Chapter 393 Exposed
Chapter 393 Exposed
What is this?
After looking at the black-gold beetles that crawled onto the human's forehead and then settled there without moving, and then at the beetles that climbed up from his trouser legs, Leon, who had goose bumps on his back, couldn't help but ask:
“These bugs…”
"These bugs are the insurance I prepared for this operation."
After looking at Leon who was full of resistance, the tall and thin man couldn't help but smile maliciously, and then for the first time since meeting Leon, he smiled and replied:
"Their name is 'Brain Devouring Demonic Worm'. They will directly devour the target's brain, completely preventing the target from dreaming, and will reproduce indefinitely after devouring the target's brain."
"???"
"Think about it, isn't the most troublesome thing about the Nightmare King his ability to move infinitely in human dreams?"
After looking at Leon whose eyes suddenly widened, the director of the Scorpio Branch said slowly:
"But dreams are something that can only be dreamed by people with brains. As long as it enters someone's dream, I will let the 'Brain Devouring Demonic Worm' eat away that person's brain, and the Nightmare King will fall out of the dream.
Even better, it could just eat the brains of the people who have nightmares in advance, so there would be no need to worry about it causing nightmares for everyone in the kingdom after it arrives."
"..."
Because people without brains cannot dream, so in order to avoid nightmares for the rest of their lives, they should just eat all their brains in advance, right?
You're such a fucking genius!
After his cheek twitched slightly, Leon decisively stretched out his finger and poked the black-gold beetle that was crawling towards his head.
[Name: Dream Eater (Dream Eater, Fission)]
[Appearance: A strange beetle of the genus Scarabaeidae in the order Diptera, with a black shell like baking varnish and golden wings on its back. The pattern on its abdomen resembles a screaming human face, and its size is similar to the thumbnail of an adult male human.]
[Ability: Devouring Dreams, Splitting and Reproduction]
[Price: An abnormal object that can only be used once in a lifetime. After using this abnormal object to give an order to the queen worm, it is equivalent to signing an irreversible contract with the queen worm. The user's dreams for the rest of his life will be used as food to feed the queen worm of the dream-eating armor.]
[File: The second-generation director of the Scorpio Branch of the Cleanup Bureau. After killing the dream god "Dream Faller", he fed the special beetles with his corpse. They have the special ability to devour the dreams of living beings, and as long as there are still people dreaming, they can reproduce almost infinitely.
More than four hundred years ago, the Scorpio Branch’s warehouse was robbed, and two dream-eating beetles were lost. They multiplied to nearly 32 million within hours, swallowing up one-fifteenth of the world’s dreams that day, and were still continuing to divide rapidly.
In order to resolve this out-of-control incident of anomalies, the Cleanup Bureau had to take drastic measures... caused damage... imposed restrictions... received a request for assistance... opened it by force... carried it...】
[Evaluation: The nemesis of creatures in the dream world, an abnormal creature that the Nightmare King wants to destroy in his dreams. If you can collect all the mother insects and their offspring and send them to the dream world and hand them over to the Nightmare King, it will kowtow to you for a hundred years.]
[Infiltration value: 60.1]
"..."
Damn, it turned out to be a bluff! It scared me!
After reading the file of the Dream Eater, Leon let out a long sigh and loosened his grip on the Dream Invader. Noticing his action, the tall and thin man couldn't help but sneer and said jokingly:
"Why, are you afraid of having your brain eaten away? If you are afraid, just ask me for help, and I will take the brain-eating devil insect back and spare your brain."
"..."
This thing is really annoying...
Seeing the tall and thin man who was full of tax evasion and obviously had great fun playing tricks on him, Leon's cheeks twitched, and then he shut his mouth obediently. Forget it... I'll just be fooled. Although this guy has a bad mouth, he did take out an abnormal object specifically for the dream world. Just based on this thing, he can be considered the MVP of this operation. As long as the people of the kingdom don't get into trouble, it doesn't matter if he is criticized a few times.
……
Hiss... This kid's ability is probably not simple...
The chief of the Scorpio branch couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw Leon, who reached out and poked the beetle on his shoulder, let out a long sigh, then pretended not to hear and ignored him.
According to the records of anomalies reported by that stinky woman, the core anomaly of Leon Ryan's third-level cleaner is called [Forced Information Acquisition], which can forcibly obtain some information about anomalies by touching them.
When touching weaker anomalies, the information obtained is very complete, but the stronger the anomaly, the less information can be obtained, or even no information can be obtained at all. It is just a pretty good auxiliary ability.
However, the [Dream-Eating Armor] that he took out, although it had no lethality, was only effective against creatures in the dream world, and could only be used once in a lifetime, etc., the [Dream-Eating Armor] was numbered very late in the sequence and only got the number 057.
But the status of this thing itself is not low at all. If it does not cross the threshold of True God level, it will not be able to drive the queen insect at all. It is a genuine True God-level anomaly.
But facing something of this level, the boy just stretched out his hand and poked it, and his tense body actually relaxed. If his guess was correct, he should have obtained the information about the [Dream-Eating Armor] and saw through his lie of being a "brain-eating devil worm".
He can even obtain information about true god-level anomalies with just a light touch. His so-called [compulsory information acquisition] ability is probably much higher in status than what that stinky woman reported!
"what happened?"
Noticing that the tall and thin man turned his head and began to stare at him, Leon couldn't help but blinked vigilantly, but still asked politely:
"Mr. Edward, do you have any questions for me?"
"..."
Of course there are problems, and quite a few.
Staring into Leon's eyes, he found that the way he looked at him had become a little friendlier than at the beginning. The tall and thin man pondered for a moment and suspected that Leon might have known the price of using the [Dream-Eating Armor], so his attitude towards him had changed a little.
So, to sum up, this kid's own abnormality is of a very high status. Although he is still a little immature at the moment, and his guard is a little insufficient, and he can't hide his emotions, but it seems that there is a promising future...
No! It's good even now!
After thinking about Leon's resume, the tall and thin man was somewhat surprised to find that what the nightmare said before didn't seem to be all bullshit.
Apart from anything else, this kid has only been in the Cleaning Bureau for two months, but he has already reached an above-average level among third-level cleaners. It is estimated that with another month or two of training, he will be able to reach the threshold of a second-level cleaner.
Moreover, he has a record of single-handedly defeating the Holy Spirit, exposing the conspiracy of Aquarius Director, and saving his life from the director. For a newcomer, this level is already outstanding!
After re-evaluating Leon's "value", the director of the Scorpio Branch pondered for a moment, then reached out and rubbed his stiff face, patted Leon's shoulder calmly, and said in a slightly kind manner:
“Nothing… I just thought about it and found that what the nightmare said makes sense. For example, for a cleaner, the most important thing is not the current strength, but the courage and guts to face strong enemies.
You knew that you might be enslaved forever by the Nightmare King, but you still dared to stay and fight alongside me. It is really remarkable. I was a little too much when I said you were a burden before."
"..."
