Chapter 466 Parents’ Beloved Son

Indeed, the Blood-Haired Princess arrived very quickly. If she had arrived a little later, both of them might have been eaten up.

After hearing what Leon said, the female reporter nodded and prepared to follow him and return through the Inugami's big mouth. However, before the two of them had gone far, Leon stumbled and fell down with a thud.

Worri...

Leon realized something was wrong and lowered his head to look at his legs. Then he found out with some helplessness that his legs had become almost completely transparent and could no longer support the "weight" of his body.

Think about it too.

When the Inugami was still alive, its dark stomach wall was constantly secreting digestive fluid that could corrode the soul. I just raised my hand and punched its stomach wall twice, and more than half of my right hand became transparent.

After being swallowed by the Inugami, his feet had been in contact with its secretions the whole time, so his legs would of course become "transparent" faster. It was already considered good that he could no longer support himself now.

"I'd better go ahead."

After pulling Leon up from the ground, the female reporter couldn’t help but shake her head as she looked at his soul that had become transparent.
"Nearly 30% of my soul has been digested. Your soul strength is much weaker than mine. It is estimated that 60% to 70% of it has been digested by the dog god. With your current soul strength, a scratch from the dog god's teeth will cause it to disintegrate on the spot."

"All right……"

After listening to the female reporter's words, Leon nodded helplessly, then followed the female reporter and got into Inugami's spacious esophagus.

However, when he was following the female reporter and was about to get out of Inugami's throat, the female reporter in front of him went crazy for some reason. She suddenly kicked back with her right foot and stepped Leon back directly.

???

No? What the hell are you doing?
Just as Leon was about to ask her what she wanted to do when he got kicked for no reason, he heard the female reporter outside shouting in horror:

"Aquarius? You...why are you here?!"

Water bottle?

After hearing the female reporter's shout, Leon's mind couldn't help but buzz and was completely messed up.

So the one who came to rescue people was not my director, but your director?
……

"Nicole..."

Not knowing what was happening in Inugami's stomach, Director Aquarius couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the female reporter in front of him who was looking at him warily. A hint of fatigue flashed in his young eyes.

"You're not even willing to call me Chief anymore?"

"..."

After hearing the Aquarius director's question, the female reporter's lips trembled slightly, but then she quickly bit them hard, pursed her lips and looked at him, saying nothing.

"Forget it, if you don't want to shout, then don't shout."

Seeing the female reporter no longer showing the familiarity she had in the past, but instead full of vigilance and precaution, Director Aquarius couldn't help but sigh again, and then said in a somewhat tired tone:
"I'm leaving. When Blood-Haired Princess comes looking for you, don't tell her you've seen me before. Just tell her you know nothing about me. I killed her using other means, and the investigators from the Cleanup Bureau can't find out."

"..."

“Also, you don’t have to hide the information about me.

When the people from the Virgin Branch ask you, just tell the truth. Don't worry that the information will affect me, because from the moment I asked you to lurk in the royal capital, all the information you knew was false.

But I left some traces at the places pointed by the false intelligence, as well as the safe houses and laboratories you know. If the people from the Cleanup Bureau check according to the intelligence, they will find that I just left, and they can also get some 'key' gains. No one will suspect that you gave false intelligence. "

"why?"

After listening to the Aquarius director's somewhat incoherent instructions, the female reporter touched the antler mark on her head and couldn't help asking:

"Bureau... didn't you tamper with my soul to keep it secret so that I would be sent to the realm of death if I opened my mouth? Then why did you arrange all these things?"

"..." Director Aquarius was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said helplessly:
"Nicole, although you are an excellent cleaner, your talent is in dealing with abnormal objects. When it comes to dealing with people, your brain is really bad!

Apart from anything else, if it was the third-level cleaner at the Virgin Branch, I guess as long as he saw me here, even if I kept my mouth shut, he would be able to guess most of it. "

"..."

If you're talking about Leon... then he's really here, less than two meters away from me, and he can even hear what we're talking about...

"Forget it, I'll explain it to you."

Looking at the still confused female reporter, worried that she would reveal everything to Blood-Haired Princess because she couldn't figure it out, Director Aquarius could only sigh:

“If I have to explain it more clearly… being sent to the realm of the dead doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll die. Although this trip is dangerous, it’s actually a good thing for you.

According to my arrangement, if the three-headed dog god had not suddenly awakened and eaten you inexplicably, you would only be pulled to the vicinity of the [Cangyi Mirror Lake] and stopped there, and would not be sent all the way to the deepest part of the dead world.

And when Blood-Haired Princess comes to you and you are almost dead because of betraying me, you can truly cut yourself off from me and avoid being executed as a traitor by the Cleanup Bureau... Do you understand what I mean?"

What I mean is... the director didn't actually plan to kill me?

"You really..."

Seeing the female reporter who seemed to understand something but still had doubts in her eyes, Director Aquarius had to remind her further:

"My goal is to replace Director Jinniu and become the palace occupant of the Watch Palace. What will happen to you after I succeed in becoming the palace? Have you ever thought about this?"

"I……"

"Don't think about it. I'm not asking you a question. It doesn't matter whether you have thought about it or not. When the time comes, the only outcome for you is death. It may even be worse than death."

After shaking his head helplessly, Director Aquarius continued:

"Just think of it as a consideration for our twenty years of friendship. I couldn't bear to see you die so foolishly, so I found a way to arrange a way out for you, to ensure that after I ascend to the palace, you can still live so foolishly.

As for anything involving the Watch Palace, there is no such thing as a small matter. If you want to prevent me from holding you accountable, someone above the level of Director Huang Dao must intercede for you, otherwise your ending will definitely not be good."

At this point, Director Aquarius paused, then said with a little displeasure:

“Although Blood-Haired Princess ruined my plans, I have to admit that she is indeed a good person. Among those who are qualified to plead for you, she is the only one who would stand up and vouch for you for such a simple reason as ‘you are a good person’.

Similarly, although your resume is clean, you betrayed the bureau after all, and only she and her virgin bureau full of weirdos can tolerate a traitor like you... Do you understand this time?"

“I think I understand…”

"If you understand, then hurry back and insist that you know nothing and saw nothing. Don't say anything else! The fact that you managed to escape death by such a coincidence is the biggest suspicion. Saying more at this time will only lead to more mistakes!"

After pointing at the dog god's body, Director Aquarius rubbed his brows and said with a headache:

“The Blood-Haired Princess is very cunning. That Level 3 Cleaner sometimes has more ideas than her. With your brain, I don’t expect you to keep it a secret forever. Just hold on until I ascend to the palace and then expose it.

But they are not difficult to deal with. Remember, as long as you continue to be a good person, even if they find something wrong, they will definitely not touch you, and may even choose to help you keep it secret."

"it is good……"

"Then I'm leaving...don't forget what I said!"

Seeing the female reporter finally understand his arrangement and with an extremely complicated expression, Director Aquarius couldn't help but shook his head. After giving some instructions, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, stared at the relieved female reporter and said:

"By the way, there should be another soul that entered the underworld with you. Who is that soul?"
