Chapter 737 Embarrassed
Chapter 737 Embarrassed
Still doesn’t feel right…
Although he had no idea what happened underground in Rehe City, nor did he notice anything abnormal about "Director Aquarius", seeing the depressed mood of the female cleaner, Leon still instinctively felt that the previous communication was a bit strange.
To be honest, as the "grand uncle" who raised the female cleaner, Director Aquarius must be aware that the news about the three tribes of the earth and the stone marrow world will most likely trigger memories for the female cleaner and remind her of the time when her mother sacrificed herself.
Given the love he had shown before for the female cleaner, he should have subconsciously tried to minimize communication in this regard, and at most he would have briefly mentioned the goals of the King-Slaying Society and others to avoid linking it to what happened that year. However, Director Aquarius did not do so.
Indeed, the reason why he talked so much about the three earth tribes and the Stone Marrow Realm might be because of his consideration for his "reinforcement". He wanted to provide more useful information and explain the reasons behind it to facilitate his handling of this mission.
But if he changed his mindset to this, it would be inconsistent with his refusal to go down to provide support and his request to only stay in the Aquarius Branch to help defend Rehe City.
After all, if he didn't need my help, then I wouldn't have to face the three tribes of the earth and the stone marrow world, and I wouldn't need so much information. So why did he stop and explain to me for so long at the critical moment of chasing the King Killer Society? Could it be that he was lonely and wanted to find someone to chat online?
This Aquarius Chief...doesn't seem real!
Whether it was "grandparent-grandchild affection" or "mission thinking", Director Aquarius's behavior was a bit strange, and Leon couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. However, after thinking about it for a while, Leon shook his head and gave up the idea.
If the Aquarius Director just now was fake, why did he have the Aquarius Director's mirror? And why did he know about the female cleaner's childhood?
The inharmonious feeling of Director Aquarius can be explained by the fact that he is just a chatterbox who can't help but nag. However, if we assume that he is a fake, there is no strong evidence to support it, so...
"Merry."
After calling the female cleaner, Leon narrowed his eyes and said:
"Can you call him back?"
"Ah? Who to hit?"
"I mean, apart from Director Balto contacting you, can you contact him in reverse?"
"Yes, I can..."
The female cleaner blinked when she heard this, and then asked in confusion:
"But didn't you just finish talking? There's something you forgot to ask him."
"Correct."
Since it was just a guess, Leon did not rush to explain his thoughts, but nodded and said:
"I do have some questions about the Aquarius Division and need to consult Chief Balto again."
"Oh."
After opening her mouth to respond, the female cleaner pulled herself together, took out the small mirror again, placed her fingers on the bottle relief on the edge of the mirror, and rubbed it gently up and down.
However, what was strange was that Director Aquarius had just talked to them for a long time, but now he had no response. No matter how the female cleaner called out, there was no movement.
"what?"
After waiting for a long time without any response, the female cleaner couldn't help but blink in confusion and tried to contact again. Leon, who was sitting next to her, sighed, knowing that he might have guessed right.
Although it is still unclear why the "Aquarius Director" just now was holding the Aquarius Director's mirror and why he knew about the female cleaner's childhood, but since he suddenly could not be contacted, there is at least an 80% chance that he is an imposter.
"Stop it."
After waving his hand to stop the female cleaner who wanted to make a third "phone call", Leon turned his head and looked at the three rations on the other side... no, three branch chiefs who came to support.
"The one just now is probably not the real Lord Balto." "?!!!"
After hearing what Leon said, the three branch directors couldn't help but look shocked, and the female cleaner widened her eyes and said in panic:
"Leon? You mean my uncle..."
“Don’t worry, Director Balto is Director Zodiac after all. Even if the blessing of the Star Palace weakens after going deep into the center of the earth, it is not something that one or two true gods can solve. It is unlikely that he will encounter danger.”
After comforting the female cleaner, Leon briefly explained the strange places and his own analysis ideas, and then said to the four people who were skeptical with a serious face:
"In short, we now have reason to suspect that Director Balto must have encountered some kind of trouble. It is possible that he has been held back or even temporarily trapped. So right now we must prepare for the worst."
Prepare for the worst...
The three ration directors couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and then Director Tianmao spoke up and asked carefully:
"Mr. Lyon, what do you mean?"
"Director Balto failed to stop the people from the King-Slaying Society. They will successfully enter the center of the earth, break the blockade of the Stone Marrow Realm that the General Administration set up ten years ago, and release all three tribes of the earth inside. I'm afraid they will repeat the attack ten years ago!"
At this point, Leon couldn't help but pause, remembering the "Past Sign" that Director Aquarius handed down after he entered the palace, which stated four large-scale disasters in the next year.
The country of ice, Aixito, the Hexagonal Mountains, the bottom of Rehe City, the burning springs and molten rivers, and the Ying River in Lubei.
The scene he saw with the help of the [Sign of the Past] was far beyond the upper limit of the power of an ordinary true god. It was estimated that only if the three earth tribes in the Stone Marrow Realm were released could a disaster of the level of melting the Hexagonal Snow Mountain in one breath and turning the northern part of the continent into a swamp be caused.
"We must act now!"
After linking the information in his hands together and coming to the conclusion that something bad was going to happen, Leon couldn't help but say with a serious expression:
“After the airship lands, we should split into two groups. Chief Hofer of the Whale Branch and Chief Leok of the Cheetah Branch will stay in the Aquarius Branch to prevent attacks from the King-Slaying Society and protect the royal family members in the North.
Director Misha and I immediately rushed to the underground hot river to try to stop the actions of the King Killer Society and rescue Director Balto who might be trapped! Now Director Balto can't be relied on, this time we have to rely on ourselves!"
"Zi..."
Just as Leon was arranging the action with an urgent look on his face, the clothes on the chest of the female cleaner bulged slightly, and the small mirror that had just been put away fell out again, and the face of Director Aquarius appeared in the small mirror quite tactlessly.
"what happened?"
Looking at the astonished faces of the people in the mirror, Director Aquarius couldn't help but blink in surprise.
"What's the matter? I was on my way and didn't hear anything."
"..."
"What's going on? Are you guys talking? Why are you silent?"
"..."
