Chapter 738 Secondary Mirror
Chapter 738 Secondary Mirror
You can't blame me for this. It's normal for me to not be able to hear anything because I'm old. Bullshit! You just refused to answer the "phone call". I was already mobilizing, so why did you suddenly make a noise?
Looking at the Aquarius Director who suddenly appeared in the small mirror, Leon was so embarrassed that his face swelled. Then he had to endure the strange looks from the other four people and asked:
"Sir Balto, I asked Meili to contact you."
"Ah, so what do you want from me?"
"..."
It used to be there, but it's gone now...
After racking his brains to analyze the situation, he concluded that the situation was extremely critical, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. At this moment, Leon just wanted to end the conversation quickly and pretend that nothing had happened.
However, facing the puzzled look of Director Aquarius in the mirror, he couldn't just hang up the "phone" and had to shamelessly say:
"It's nothing serious, actually. I just want to ask about the situation at the Aquarius Branch and your current arrangements for the Branch."
"That's it..."
Director Aquarius frowned upon hearing this, and then said:
"I'm busy on my way now. You can just ask Meili about these things. I don't hide anything from her... Or you can find Hope when you get to the Aquarius branch and ask him to tell you about my arrangements."
"Ok."
After answering, Leon, who was eager to end the call, did not continue to ask, but nodded and wrote down the name. Then, before hanging up the "phone", he pushed the female cleaner away from the mirror with his butt, and then said intentionally or unintentionally:
"By the way, Mr. Balto, the wedding gift you asked Meili to give me is very good. Veronica and I like it very much. But your gift is really too expensive."
"hehe."
After hearing what Leon said, the blue-haired old man in the mirror couldn't help but smile, and then said in a friendly manner:
"As long as you like it, it doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not."
We just like it, right? But I never got any wedding gifts!
Looking at the blue-haired old man whom he recognized in the mirror with pleasure, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. "Director Aquarius", who had been paying attention to his expression, keenly noticed this small difference. He was silent for a moment, and then sighed helplessly.
"Thrush is right. You are really difficult to deal with."
He did not continue to make futile efforts. He reached out and wiped his face, restoring his wrinkled face to smoothness. Then, Xue Bei picked up the white wolf head mask to cover his real face. Then he changed back to his hoarse voice and asked with a complicated look:
"Mr. Lyon, could you please tell me where I gave away my identity and aroused your suspicion?"
"?!!!"
It’s really fake!!!
Seeing the Aquarius chief's appearance fade away in the mirror and turned into a thin human with another face, the three ration chiefs couldn't help but be shocked.
The female cleaner, who had already reacted when Leon mentioned the gift, grabbed Leon's arm and rushed back to the mirror, asking anxiously:
"Who are you? Where is my great uncle? Why do you have his mirror?!"
"How about... exchange one question for another?"
Looking at Leon in the mirror who didn't say a word and didn't seem to be prepared to pay any attention to him, Xuebei couldn't help but smile, and then he said to him: "Mr. Leon, if you are willing to tell me where I have revealed my flaws, then I will tell you the origin of this mirror, how about it? Are you interested?"
Intelligence for intelligence?
After thinking for a while, Leon glanced at the female cleaner who bit her lip but tried hard not to say anything to disturb him, and then nodded slightly.
"can."
After accepting the deal proposed by Xuebei, Leon narrowed his eyes and said:
"Your disguise is actually very perfect. I was indeed fooled at first, but there are always some things in this world that you can't disguise."
"what?"
"Emotion, or gaze."
Eyes? Is that what you just told us?
After hearing what Leon said, the three rations on the other side couldn't help but look at each other in confusion and exchanged glances.
Didn't Mr. Leon just say that the reason why Director Aquarius might be an imposter was inferred from his behavior? Why is it now involving emotions and gazes?
After pushing the cleaning lady away from the mirror again, Leon, who never told the truth, continued to lie while exchanging information with his opponent.
"When humans express emotions, most of them are expressed through their eyes. I once had contact with Chief Balto of the Aquarius Branch through this mirror. Meili was also there at the time, and the way you looked at Meili was different from the way he looked at Meili."
Is it an eyesight problem?
After feeling Leon's answer through his [Pseudo-Illusion] power and finding no falsehood in it, Xuebei could not help but nodded, and then said with satisfaction:
"Very good. Although this may not be the whole reason, I don't feel any lie from it. It seems that everything you said is indeed true and you are not trying to deceive me."
???
Looking at the satisfied look on her face in the mirror, the female cleaner who was held down by Leon couldn't help but feel confused for a moment, and then looked at Leon with puzzled eyes.
Are you telling the truth this time? Then the reason you just told us was false?
Also, when did you and Uncle Grandpa come into contact through this mirror? And I was there at the time? How come I didn't know about this? Ah... my mind is so confused!
If you are confused, don't think about it. This is not your job.
After turning the small mirror slightly to avoid the confused female cleaner from being reflected in the mirror, Leon stared at the snowy figure in the mirror and urged calmly:
"Of course it's only part of it. After all, if I tell you everything at once, what if you regret it?"
"Don't worry, even though I like to pretend, I still care about my reputation."
The snowy beard in the small mirror smiled, and then said to the female cleaner who did not exist in front of the mirror:
"Ms. Meili, the mirror in my hand is actually the same as the one in your hand. Mr. Barto of the Aquarius Branch specially split his own [Celestial Mirror] in order to contact his family in time, and made a small secondary mirror that can only be connected to each other."
"No! You're lying!"
After hearing Xue's embarrassed words, the female cleaner couldn't help but push Leon's hand up and shouted angrily at the mirror:
"My uncle told me that I am the only one who has his secondary mirror!"
"It's 'now' that you are the only one who has it."
After deliberately putting emphasis on the word "now", Xuebei first glanced at Leon, who had already understood and frowned unconsciously, then tapped the foggy mirror in front of him with his fingertips and said to the female cleaner with a smile:
"The original owner of this secondary mirror was your mother. I picked it up from her corpse myself."
