Chapter 415 Good Guys and Bad Guys
Chapter 415 Good Guys and Bad Guys
"Ok."
After hearing Director Aquarius's instructions, the female reporter nodded and took the glass lantern from him, but did not immediately set off for the dream world. Instead, she bit her lip and said hesitantly:
"Chief, can I ask you a question?"
"of course can."
After hearing what the female reporter said, Director Aquarius, who looked very young but had old eyes, turned around, smiled gently, and said kindly:
"Nicole, just ask whatever you want to ask. I'll tell you everything I can answer... Also, don't be so restrained in front of me. You're one of the few people I can trust, and I hope you can trust me more."
"OK……"
After hearing what Director Aquarius said, the female reporter relaxed a little, and then asked softly:
"Director, the people from the Virgin Branch have repeatedly ruined your plans, and even caused your soul to be damaged, forcing you to pretend to be nice to the Nightmare King... Don't you feel any resentment?"
"I'm afraid what you want to ask is not whether I have any resentment, but why I didn't take the opportunity to take action and get rid of the Blood-haired Princess or that Leon, right?"
"Um……"
After pointing out what the female reporter really wanted to ask, Director Aquarius did not directly answer her question, but smiled and asked back:
"Nicole, can you tell me what kind of person I am in your eyes?"
After hearing what Director Aquarius said, the female reporter was startled, then she lowered her head slightly and whispered:
"You are my benefactor. If it weren't for you, I would have died when I was seven years old. It was you who saved me from the privateering ship of the Seol Kingdom and gave me the ability and opportunity to take revenge..."
"Nicole, you know, the question I'm asking is not about the relationship between you and me, but how you see me."
After interrupting the female reporter's evasive answer, Director Aquarius couldn't help but laugh:
“Forget it… Although you chose to avoid the topic, it is also a disguised answer to my question.
In your eyes, I am a bad guy who is obsessed with the secret art of abnormal creation, who will do anything to fulfill his wish, and who can sacrifice anything to achieve his goal. I am an evil lunatic who deserves to die...right?"
"no!"
The female reporter couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Director, you...although your methods are a bit extreme, you have done a lot of good things and saved many people. You are actually..."
“I’m actually a bad person.”
After he defined himself, the smile on Director Aquarius's face faded slightly, and then he said calmly:
"To you, I am a benefactor, but to many others, I really deserve to die."
"..."
“Although the number of people who died because of me is far less than the number of people I have protected in the past hundred years, it may not even be a fraction of that.
But in the process of studying the secret art of abnormal creation, I actually did a lot of bad things. In order to create abnormal objects or obtain the materials for the secret art, I ignored people who were in desperate situations, secretly encouraged them, and even caused tragedies that ruined their lives with my own hands.
Even when I rescued you from the privateering ship of the Kingdom of Seio when you were still young, it was not out of kindness, but because I noticed your outstanding talent and thought you were a good candidate to produce top-notch anomalies.
Nicole, even though you don't want to admit it, I am indeed a bad person."
"..."
Looking at the silent female reporter, Director Aquarius smiled and said, "Let me ask you, a few years ago, when the intelligent machines of the Korok Kingdom placed the royal family under house arrest, blocked the Gemini Branch, and secretly controlled all the cleaners, do you know why I only saved you?"
The female reporter hesitated for a moment and said:
"Because... I'm a Level 1 Cleanup Operator? And the best in the bureau?"
"No."
Director Aquarius shook his head and said:
"Because you're a good person."
"???"
“Haha, you are different from the other people in the bureau who are willing to follow me. Although they also obey my orders and can even stand on my side and conceal my various violations, they do not really recognize me.
Those people are either used to obeying, or they are afraid of my power, or they want to obtain stronger anomalies. Only you are different. The reason you follow me is very simple gratitude. You are grateful that I saved your life and that I gave you the ability to take revenge. "
"..."
“Once my affairs are exposed, those who are used to obeying me will obey the Cleansing Bureau without any worries; those who fear my power will naturally fear the more powerful Cleansing Bureau, and those who want to gain benefits from me will naturally be moved by the benefits I cannot give.
Nicole, you are the only one who follows me for a simpler purpose than anyone else. You just want to repay me."
Looking at the silent female reporter, Director Aquarius smiled and then counted on his fingers:
"Although you hate my behavior very much and always secretly sabotage my experiments, destroying many anomalies that could have been born, you even privately reported to the bureau several times, hoping that someone would stop me.
This time, when you went to steal the Blood-Haired Princess's wallet, you could have gone there without showing your face, but you chose to do so without changing your appearance. You were reminding them that in addition to the Nightmare King, they should also be careful of me, right?"
"..."
At this point, Director Aquarius paused for a moment, then continued with a smile:
"But at this moment, you who tried to remind Blood-Haired Princess to be careful of me are much more reliable than those people in the Gemini Branch who never go against me.
As long as you remember that I saved your life, raised you, and helped you to avenge your death, and feel that you have not yet repaid my kindness to you, you will never really betray me."
"..."
"Well... when people get older, they like to talk about random things. I think I have strayed a little from the topic."
Looking at the female reporter who unconsciously pursed her lips, Director Aquarius smiled and said:
“In short, although I am a bad guy, I do things for a purpose. I am not a madman who likes killing and destruction. Cooperating with the Nightmare King is just a helpless move.
I have no grudge against the people of the kingdom, so there is no need to harm them. Moreover, if the Nightmare King is allowed to invade reality, it will not only be of no benefit to me, but will make me controlled by him. Of course, I will not help him.
As for why I didn't take advantage of their inability to free my hands and sneak attack the Blood-haired Princess and Leon to get rid of these two guys who have been causing trouble for me... well... there are many reasons, but the main reason is that I can't beat them. "
"what?"
"I really can't beat it."
Pointing at the long river of nightmares that was rapidly closing in under the morning sun, Director Aquarius said with some pain in his teeth:
"It's only been half a night, and the number of nightmares killed by Blood-Haired Princess is close to one million. And this is the record when she was mainly preventing nightmares from rushing into the human world and did not take the initiative to attack.
The more than 100 million [Killing Blood Hair] in the hands of the Blood-Haired Princess are the Cleanup Bureau's top physical damage-type anomalies. If the consumption is completely ignored, it will only take fifty hours to penetrate the moon.
Any individual that needs to rely on flesh and blood to exist will naturally be at a disadvantage when facing her, and one of the basic rules of the world is that one must rely on flesh and blood to stay for a long time. In the world, she is almost invincible. "
