Chapter 659: The Secret of Roulette
Are you really not going to stop me?
He took out the [Dream-Breaking Cone] and held it in his palm. After squeezing it hard, he found that the world in front of him did not change again. It seemed that Leon did not have any backup plan. Director Aquarius could not help but frown.
A difficult and troublesome opponent will certainly be a headache, but if the opponent suddenly gives up when there is still a chance, it will make people feel extremely uncertain.
"why?"
Seeing Leon really giving up his seat, the smile on Director Aquarius's face completely disappeared. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask:
"are you……"
"I do know some information about the Wishing Wheel."
After briefly recalling the information about the [Wish Wheel], Leon explained:
"According to my understanding of that thing, although the [Wishing Wheel] is an omnipotent wishing machine that is almost certain to fulfill the user's wishes, the final result it gives may not necessarily be what you really want.
The wishes that are fulfilled through it will most likely only bring greater trouble and deeper pain, and I am afraid that the greater the wish, the more unbearable the price to pay. "
Wishing Wheel…Have a question?
After hearing what Leon said, Director Aquarius couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and then asked back:
"Taurus brought you into contact with the [Wish Wheel]? Did you find out this information on your own?"
"No."
Leon shook his head.
"I guessed it based on the descriptions of Mr. Taurus and the director."
But in addition to the simplest guesses, there are also resistance hints from the badges.
According to the rule that the deeper one's understanding of [Materialism], the stronger one's resistance will be, now that he has received a hint that his resistance to the [Wish Wheel] has increased, it proves that his guess is correct, and this thing does indeed have a hint of evil.
……
Guess?
Not knowing that Leon had other reasons for his judgment, after listening to Leon's words, Director Aquarius was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said:
"If this is the result you found out after touching the Wishing Wheel and using your own abilities, then I would still take it seriously. But what you said now is just some unfounded speculation, which is not enough to make me give up my plan."
"I've already said that I won't stop you anymore."
Leon smiled when he heard this, and then asked with malicious eyes:
"If it was to trick you into giving up your plan, why would I tell you that I have never come into contact with the Wishing Roulette and that everything was just my guess? I told you that there was something wrong with the Wishing Roulette because I simply wanted to get back at you.
If I give you a chance to regret now, but you give up on your own initiative, when you find out that you have been tricked by the [Wish Wheel] and that my judgment is correct, the pain in your heart will definitely be doubled!"
"..."
"Besides, my guess is not completely unfounded."
Looking at Aquarius who fell silent again, Leon, who seemed to be in a very good mood, smiled and explained:
"According to my observations of anomalies, most anomalies follow a rule, that is, the stronger the effect, the greater the cost. The effect of the Wishing Wheel is too insignificant compared to the cost of using it. This also confirms my guess that when using the [Wishing Wheel], the real price you need to pay is another result that is essentially the opposite of the wish you want to achieve.
"..."
"I do not believe."
After a moment of silence, Director Aquarius questioned:
"The price you have to pay to activate the [Wish Wheel] is not small. In order to have this opportunity today, I have made countless preparations and sacrificed countless things to meet the conditions. You..."
"You also said that these are just 'conditions'."
Interrupting Director Aquarius's questioning, Leon smiled and said:
"Everything you did was what the Wishing Wheel told you to do to fulfill your wish, but you never paid the price for telling you this news. My judgment still stands!"
"..."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Please!"
Director Aquarius was about to ask again, but Leon had already raised his hand again, gestured to the golden ant who was struggling to climb the palace, made a "please" gesture, and said with a smile:
“Just like you threatened me with the fake ants just now, because the things on the scale are too important, no matter whether what you picked up is a real ant or not, I have no choice but to let you out.
Now it's your turn. No matter what news I know or whether your plan has any problems, you have almost given up everything and you have no choice but to continue.
Even if you know in your heart that what I said is 99% likely to be true, you will never be willing to let it end like this... So please! Go do what you want to do, I won't stop you. "
"..."
Faced with Lyon's repeated urging, Director Aquarius's arm trembled slightly, and then, under Lyon's smiling gaze, he raised his arm again and slashed at the golden ant above him.
"Click."
The mark of the pocket watch, which had been shrunk countless times, flashed for a moment on the ant representing Director Taurus, and then returned to its place in an instant. Amid the familiar sound of the mechanism, Director Aquarius' figure retreated all the way and disappeared.
Above the [Eleventh Ant Nest], a small golden ant suddenly appeared behind the golden ant that was struggling to climb up, and raised its arm to hold the former's back.
He actually stepped over it in an instant...that knife is really useful.
After looking at the ant representing Aquarius Director with envy, the smile on Leon's face faded slightly, and then he took out the [Unfair Snake Contract] and charcoal pencil from the mirror world.
Regarding the news about the [Wishing Roulette], I did not lie. There are definitely some problems with this thing, but it is absolutely impossible to not stop Aquarius and let him do whatever he wants.
With the intention of eradicating all evil, Leon picked up a homemade charcoal pencil and wrote the name of an abnormal object on the snakeskin scroll.
【Copy in pairs】
According to Director Aquarius's instructions, as a prerequisite for entering the palace, one needs a complete set of abnormal objects to replace the "target".
If he remembered correctly, if he wanted to completely "replace" Director Taurus, he would need a total of six abnormal objects, and replace Director Taurus's past and future, soul and body, personality and emotions respectively. The one representing the "past" was Anna's old photo.
This crucial anomaly was apparently stolen by Nicole who sneaked into the Virgin Branch and fell into Aquarius's hands, but in fact, what was stolen was actually a fake copied by the director, and the real thing was still in his hands.
Then, as long as he could replace the fake one, so that one of the six anomalies used to replace Director Taurus would be missing, his plan would be… huh? Why couldn’t he replace it?
