Chapter 459 The Cost of Random PUA

It sounds a bit outrageous, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it...

After listening to the female reporter's account of the current situation of the Kingdom of Korok, Leon couldn't help but blink speechlessly.

I originally thought that after the robot crisis occurred in the Kingdom of Korok, the people there should be living in dire straits, but it turns out that their average living standard has increased dramatically. It seems that I was overthinking it.

Well...if you think about it carefully, this is indeed more normal.

After all, judging from the communication between himself and Atefy 128, they don't seem to have much hatred towards humans. They are not the kind of artificial idiots who say "Humans are the cancer of the earth!" or "Based on the data, humans are garbage creatures that should be wiped out."

What's more, even Atiphi 128, as a sub-body, knew to take the initiative to negotiate terms to save its life when the airship was about to be blown up. So Atiphi 01, which is more "intelligent" than it, of course, also knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

It just so happened that the Kingdom of Korok had an outstanding level of technology, and it had no shortage of money, food, or productivity. With the small population of the Kingdom of Korok, the worst that could happen was that they all could be supported together, and it wouldn't cost much anyway.

For Atifi 01, it is more economical to keep it like this rather than killing or enslaving ordinary people, causing itself a lot of trouble, or even going to war directly.

After all, if it knows how to raise humans and cultivate a few great scientists, it may even be beneficial to itself. Comparing the two sides, Atiphi 01, which is not low in intelligence, will naturally not act recklessly against humans.

"Fine……"

After figuring out the logic behind the current situation of the Kingdom of Korok, the corners of Leon's mouth twitched slightly. After taking note of the situation, he asked about another matter that he cared about.

"Then the next question is...during the period before the Nightmare King descended, did you go to the Pink Mystery Bar on Toile Street?"

"Um……"

After hearing what Leon said, the female reporter bit her lower lip, then nodded slightly and said:
"I did go there, and I stole the Bloody-Haired Princess's wallet."

It's you.

Leon blinked when he heard this, and then said in confusion:
"Why did you steal her purse?"

"I do not know either."

The female reporter shook her head and said:

"I was only responsible for stealing the wallet. He didn't tell me about the other things. As for the director's purpose, it must be to deal with the Blood-haired Princess in the end. You can guess it even without me telling you."

Well... this is also true.

Seeing the female reporter's frank expression without any darkness or concealment in her soul, Leon couldn't help but frown again.

If it was before, he might have been worried that the Aquarius board of directors would use the aura on the director's wallet to remotely cast a curse or something.

But after touching the director's small white teeth just now, Leon was now very sure in his heart that facing the all-round protection of the [Thirty-two Guards], curses would not be effective at all.

That's a bit strange. Why would the Aquarius director want the director's wallet? It can't be just for fun, right?
……

"Leon...Mr."

Just when Lyon was puzzled by the behavior of Aquarius director, the female reporter recalled the conversation just now and found that Lyon, who had a "deep hatred" with Aquarius director, actually did not ask many questions related to Aquarius. She vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.

But the heart-wrenching expression on Leon's face and the unspeakable sadness in her eyes didn't look fake at all. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but tentatively asked with a little suspicion:
"If you don't mind, could you tell me what the director did to you?"

Hmm…this is not the right reaction.

Looking at the alert soul of the female reporter, Leon realized after a little thought that it was probably because his questions were not appropriate enough, which deviated from his own image of "a horizontal victim with deep hatred and deep suffering", which made her a little alert.

"You want to know what happened to me?" After brewing his emotions again, Leon closed his eyes painfully, biting his lower lip until it turned white, looking like he couldn't bear to look back. But after a while, he opened his eyes again, staring at the female reporter with tearful eyes, trying to suppress the hatred in his eyes and said:

"As long as you tell me where he is, I promise to tell you everything. What do you think?"

"I……"

Looking at the bleeding teeth marks on Leon's lower lip, the female reporter couldn't help but tremble all over. She didn't dare to look into those eyes that were too emotional. She lowered her head again and whispered:
"I was thinking...if you are willing to accept, I can try to compensate you..."

"Compensate me?"

Hearing this, Leon took a step forward and squatted in front of the female reporter. Looking at her panicked eyes, he rejected her in a cold voice:
"Then give up your foolish loyalty and tell me where he is! This is the only way to make it up to me!"

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..."

The doubts that had just arisen in her heart were shattered by the "Master of Performance" at the first sight. Looking at the "victim" in front of her who was suffering great pain, the guilty female reporter couldn't help but have red eyes.

"I'm sorry, but he saved my life and raised me... I... I really..."

"Hehe, are you sure he saved your life instead of being attracted by your talent and killing your parents and ruining your original life?"

"I……"

"I'm very disappointed in you."

After taking the female reporter's file and placing it in front of her, Leon said with disappointment in his eyes:
“According to the Pisces Branch’s investigation, although you failed to stop Director Aquarius from committing evil, you have privately contacted many victims and not only tried to change their experiences, but also reported unusual incidents to other branches in advance, saving many people from him.

Even after the Aquarius director discovered what you did and no longer kept you by his side, you still did not stop these actions and secretly sabotaged many of his experiments. So after reading your file, I feel that you are not the same kind of person as him. At least you still have some conscience.

It is precisely because I knew this that I did not torture you to extract a confession. Instead, I tried to convince you and make you understand your mistakes. I also hoped to give you a chance to correct your mistakes. But now it seems... Oh, I thought too much."

"I……"

Faced with Leon who climbed to the moral high ground with both hands and feet and began to use the PUA technique, the female reporter, who was subjected to CPU for the first time, suddenly had tears in her eyes. She felt that she was really guilty of a heinous crime and was unworthy of the trust of the "victim". She began to doubt whether her choice was correct.

Hmm... I guess it's almost done.

After looking at the female reporter's soul that was shaking like a disco, Leon was silent for a while, said nothing, but sighed deeply, stood up and left with heavy steps.

Just as Leon counted the beats and walked to the door with "disappointment", and opened the door with a creak, the female reporter finally couldn't stand the torture of guilt in her heart, and called out with tears in her eyes:
"Wait...wait! I say!"

That's it!

After hearing what the female reporter said, Leon, who was pretending to open the door, curled up the corner of his mouth, then walked back to the female reporter, but said nothing, just looked at her with satisfaction in his eyes.

"..."

I shouldn't have done that!
Seeing Leon's warm eyes, the female reporter immediately repented in her heart, and then choked up and trembled, saying:

"Aquarius...hasn't given up his original plan and is preparing for a surprise attack...Wow!"

The female reporter's face suddenly turned pale before she vomited a stream of bright red hot blood, which splashed all over Leon. Her soul, as if swept away by a strong wind, flew out of her body without any warning and hit Leon with a bang.

"Woof? Woof? Woof?"

Only three puzzled dog barks were heard, and Leon's soul was knocked out of his body. The huge door at the entrance to the world of the dead quietly appeared, and the three-headed dog god lying under the door also woke up from a nap, and the three dog faces looked over with surprise.
