Chapter 736 Safety
Chapter 736 Safety
I will guard the Aquarius branch to prevent the King-Slaying Society from luring their men away from home and launching a surprise attack on Rehe City; while you will continue to chase them and stop the King-Slaying Society from unlocking the "seal" and releasing the three earth tribes in the Stone Marrow Realm?
After thinking about the Aquarius Branch Chief's proposal and not finding any obvious flaws, Leon immediately nodded happily.
"I have no opinion."
"Then let's arrange it this way first!"
Seeing that he had reached a consensus with Leon so easily, Director Aquarius in the mirror couldn't help but smile, then looked at the silent female cleaner next to him with pity, and then took the initiative to say goodbye:
"Then I'll leave right away. I'll trouble you with the Aquarius Branch!"
"It's not a problem. This is what I should do."
In a few words, they decided on the mode of action and agreed upon their respective tasks. Then the smooth surface of the small mirror shook slightly, and the mist that seemed to have seeped into it suddenly cleared up, and the mirror's bright surface was restored.
After completing the communication, Leon looked at the female cleaner's obviously depressed face reflected in the small mirror, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
……
It became.
After watching Leon's face disappear in the small mirror, the chief of the Aquarius Branch grinned and revealed a satisfied smile.
Then, his slightly cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, the loose skin on his face gradually became tighter, the dark age spots became lighter, his cheekbones and jaw slightly contracted, and his originally aggressive face quickly softened, and then...
It was firmly blocked by a white wolf head mask.
"Can you rest assured now?"
He reached out to hold the wolf-head mask firmly on his face, then looked up at the thrush opposite him and said in a calm voice:
"I have coaxed the God of Food into staying here. He will not enter the underground melting tunnel. We can leave now!"
"..."
"what happened?"
Looking at the man in the thrush mask who still looked a little hesitant, Xue's embarrassed brows could not help but slightly frowned, and then he asked:
"Thrush, apart from that God of Food, is there anything else you are worried about?"
"I'm worried... Will you really not be discovered if you pretend to be the chief of the Aquarius Branch?"
The man in the thrush mask said with some suspicion:
"Although Leon has only been in the Cleanup Bureau for a short time, he has done a lot of things with Blood-Haired Princess and has learned her suspicious personality completely. He will not let go of any suspicious points. Are you sure you haven't given yourself away?"
"Thrush, do you think too highly of him?"
Seeing the man in the thrush mask still feeling uneasy at this moment, Xue Bei couldn't help but say with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"I admit that he was indeed careful and cautious. Even when he saw some mist on the mirror, he would stop the conversation and ask a few questions to confirm his identity before continuing the conversation.
But no matter how vigilant and careful he is, he can't find out everything. Even the niece of the chief of the Aquarius Branch didn't realize that my uncle was a fake. How can he, an outsider who has never met Balto, tell the difference?"
"..."
That's true...
After hearing Xuebei's question, the man in the thrush mask nodded subconsciously, and his heart settled down a little.
From the perspective of an observer like myself, Xuebei's performance just now was indeed perfect, and his portrayal of the Aquarius director's temperament could be considered quite outstanding.
After discovering that Leon was somewhat suspicious of him, he immediately cooperated in wiping the mirror and inadvertently told two interesting stories about the female cleaner's childhood, successfully gaining the other party's trust and temporarily dispelling his doubts.
When an emergency occurred later and the Cleanup Bureau Headquarters had already informed the God of Cookery and his party of some of the situations, they also changed the content of the conversation in a timely manner, and also recounted the situation of the three tribes at the time, grasping the character settings just right... At least he didn't find any loopholes.
"Don't worry! He can't do anything anymore!"
After waiting for a while and seeing no response from the man in the thrush mask, Xue Bei couldn't help but said impatiently:
"Even if Leon is really shrewd and finds out something is wrong, we have already entered the molten tunnel and are not far from the center of the earth. Everything is a foregone conclusion now. Even if he is smart and ruthless, it will take time for him to catch up with us. By the time he catches up with us, we will have already finished everything and escaped!"
"you're right."
After nodding in agreement, the man in the crow mask finally got rid of the influence of the power of fear and regained his sanity when he heard that Leon would definitely not be able to catch up.
However, after his mind came back to him, he vaguely felt that something was not right. He could not help but look at the snowy beast in front of him and asked with a slightly puzzled look:
"Xuebei, how did you know..."
"You two... made it so hard for me to find you!"
An annoyed voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them. The rage revealed in the words frightened them so much that they trembled at the same time.
No? He actually chased after me?
After looking back with horror, he saw the blue-haired old man chasing after him with a murderous look on his face. The man in the thrush mask couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Snowy? Didn't you use an illusion to lead him away? How could he still catch up with you?"
"I tried my best."
Looking at the Aquarius Director behind him, who had his eyes closed, ears plugged, and even had two pieces of floral cloth stuck to his nose, and was relying solely on his hands to get around, Xuebei couldn't help but sigh and frowned, saying:
"The illusions and false sounds I left behind can indeed temporarily affect what he sees and hears, but he simply blocked these two senses of his own and relied purely on touch and intuition to find the way. What do you think I can do?"
"We have to think of a way!"
After instinctively running, looking at the blue-haired old man getting closer and closer behind him, the thrush could not help but urge anxiously while trying to hurry:
"Use your brain quickly! You must have a way! It will be over if he catches up with us!"
"..."
Honestly, when you chose the mask, did you pick the wrong one from the Moon Pig? Compared to the calm and sinister thrush, you look more like a squeaking pig!
Seeing that his teammate collapsed after discovering that Leon had arrived and forced himself to delay for a lot of time, resulting in him being caught up by Director Aquarius, Xuebei couldn't help but sigh, then raised his hand and pushed it in front of him, splitting the increasingly fiery molten path under his feet into two, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the one on the left.
"Go up! I'll be safe if you go up!"
"Ah...ok!"
After hearing Xuebei's words, the crow-masked man, who was like a headless fly, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly stepped on it as instructed and then asked:
"And then? What should we do next?"
"..."
"Snowy?"
"..."
The thrush realized something was wrong and turned back suddenly. Then he was shocked to find that the snowy wolf that had been staying beside him suddenly disappeared after shaking twice, and then appeared in the distance ahead.
What made him even more terrified was that as the snow-capped beast moved away, the molten road under his feet twisted slightly, and then he felt dizzy.
This new molten channel, which seemed to be going deeper into the center of the earth, was actually surging upwards. As he rushed in both directions, Director Aquarius's face, which was distorted by anger, had already burned in front of him with a rage that wanted to destroy everything.
"How dare you use illusions to deceive me!"
Feeling something moving away from him, Director Aquarius closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily into the distance:
"Don't run! I'm going to... oh what the fuck?"
