Chapter 467 Trading
Done!
Hearing Director Aquarius's question, the female reporter's body stiffened slightly, and a chill suddenly climbed up Leon's spine.
I am different from the female reporter!
Given the hatred between him and me, if the Aquarius director knew that I was here, he would be overjoyed, and would cut me into pieces, grind me into ashes, and then mix me into the rice and eat it. Even after he goes to heaven, he might laugh out loud when he thinks of what happened today.
And the female reporter...
Although she was prepared to defend herself, Aquarius's evaluation of her was correct. Given her level in this area, if she wanted to defend herself, it would probably be no different from directly betraying herself!
'Don't move!'
Knowing that he could no longer hide at this moment, Leon took the risk of being discovered and stretched out his almost invisible right hand to place it on the waist of the female reporter.
At an angle that Director Aquarius could not see, relying on the close contact between souls, Leon's thoughts and ideas were transmitted along the female reporter's waist all the way into her mind.
"Do as I say! You hesitated for a moment, and then said that the other soul was probably an expert interrogator that Blood-Haired Princess invited from the police department. When interrogating you, he was accidentally knocked out of his body and entered the realm of the dead. However, because his soul was too weak to hold on, he was digested by the dog god!"
'good……'
After moving her body uncomfortably, the female reporter tried to control her emotions and repeated Leon's statement.
"That's it..."
After listening to the female reporter's retelling, Director Aquarius nodded slightly and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he said calmly:
"Nicole, after this, we should say goodbye forever. I will talk to you more while we still have time."
"..."
Hearing what Director Aquarius said, the female reporter couldn't help but clench her fists subconsciously, her heart in turmoil.
Although the three-headed dog god is dead, its ability to "digest" souls is still there! If it continues like this, Leon, whose "digestive fluid" has not been cleaned up yet, will probably suffer a great punishment, and may even be unable to withstand the erosion and dissipate directly!
So...how about I make some excuses, tell the director that safety comes first, that the Blood-Haired Princess might come at any time, and ask him to leave first and release Leon first?
'Don't! Don't!'
After sensing what the female reporter was about to do through the contact between souls, Leon quickly tried to stop her:
'You can't hide it from him like this! He might even sneak back after he leaves, and then I'll be dead for sure! Just nod your head now, then lower your head and keep silent!'
"Um……"
After responding to both people with this sentence, the somewhat anxious female reporter pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence.
After receiving the response, Director Aquarius said softly with a guilty look on his face:
"There is something I have never told you... Although I didn't kill your parents, I actually had the chance to save them when I found you, but... I didn't do it in the end."
"?!!!"
After hearing what Director Aquarius said, the female reporter's body shook violently, and she raised her head and stared at Director Aquarius.
"Feel sorry……"
Without looking at the female reporter, Director Aquarius closed his eyes and said with regret in his voice:
"I have nothing to explain about this matter. As for the reason why I made this choice, you should know it even if I don't tell you."
"you……"
"I have to say, I really regret it now."
After glancing at the female reporter's lips that were bitten white, Director Aquarius sighed:
"If I had known it would be like this today, I would not have chosen that way. But it's too late to regret now. Your parents can't come back. My choice was indeed a bad one...
Nicole, although I actually want to leave a good impression on you during our last meeting, if I don't tell you now, I will never have the chance to say these words again. I thought about it again and again, and finally decided to be honest with you. "
"..."
Honesty...
After hearing what Director Aquarius said, the female reporter couldn't help but clench her hands tighter and tighter. She wanted to rush over and ask a few questions, but she was worried that without her own breath to cover it, Leon's soul would be completely exposed. In the end, she could only stand where she was and asked in a dry voice:
"Because... I am a good material and may give birth to a very outstanding anomaly?" "Yes."
Director Aquarius nodded, suppressed the regret on his face, and said calmly:
"You know, after the death of my last relative, there is nothing left in this world worth my nostalgia, except for the Abnormal Creation Secret Art. And my only and last wish is to climb up to the Watchtower Palace and take a look at what the ultimate Abnormal Creation Secret Art looks like."
"Is the secret art of abnormal creation so important to you?"
The female reporter gritted her teeth upon hearing this, and then asked with sadness in her eyes:
"Even if the price of taking a look is to ruin countless lives, betray the Cleanup Bureau and be hunted down, or even sit alone in the dead silence of space until your soul collapses... Even if you know this, you won't regret it?"
"That's for later."
Director Aquarius blinked when he heard this, and then said calmly:
"I don't know if I will regret it when I sit in deep space in the future, but if I didn't take a look even though I had the chance, I will regret it from now on."
"..."
"Nicole, you won't understand this feeling."
Glancing at the female reporter who was biting her lip and not talking anymore, Director Aquarius's eyes showed a hint of fanaticism.
“My level in this secret art has surpassed almost all of my predecessors, except for the [Watching Palace]. It is even difficult for me to understand it because it is contrary to what I know and have learned.
Over the past hundred years, most of the anomalies I created with the help of the secret art of anomaly creation were caused by extremism, anger, hatred... and other more crazy and intense emotions.
But as the highest masterpiece of this secret art, the root of [Watch Palace] is love, the kind of kindness and compassion that is not intense, and even takes it for granted.
And since the Watchtower Palace is the highest masterpiece of the Secret Art of Creation, then I, who took the wrong path from the beginning, may never reach the true pinnacle of this secret art in my lifetime despite having unparalleled talent...
Nicole, do you know how desperate I felt when I found this out? "
"I don't want to know, and I'm not interested in knowing!"
Looking at the fanatical Aquarius director in front of her, the female reporter couldn't help but say with disappointment:
"All I know is that you're a lunatic! You've gone completely crazy!"
"Hmm... maybe I have gone crazy."
Director Aquarius was silent for a moment after hearing this, his enthusiasm slightly dampened, and then he seemed to realize something, turned his head and looked behind him, then shook his head with some regret:
"Nicole, I have to go now. Remember what I said before. As long as you continue..."
"Go away! I don't want to see you again!"
"..."
After looking at the female reporter, Director Aquarius shook his head, turned around, took a step, and quietly disappeared outside the Gate of the Dead.
Just as Leon breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated whether he should climb out immediately or wait a while to prevent Water Bottle from making a surprise attack, a slight sound of bones being broken suddenly came from the three-headed dog's brain.
Then, a strange-looking paper cutter easily broke the dog god's upper jaw and fell on Leon's body with a snap. Along with the knife, a low whisper fell.
"Make a deal."
As Leon's eyes suddenly widened, the thin and sharp paper cutter quietly moved to the side of his soul's neck and cut a tiny incision on it.
Then, one strange word after another seeped in through the tiny incision, penetrated into Leon's soul, and turned into the familiar voice of Director Aquarius.
"I have destroyed the relationship between Nicole and me. She is no longer harmful to you. So I hope to use this knife and your life to exchange her for the protection of the Virgin Branch... Are you interested in this deal?"
"..."
