Chapter 757 Communicating the Condition
Chapter 757 Communicating the Condition
The chief of the Aquarius branch was injured?
After hearing what the female cleaner said, Leon couldn't help but blink, and then he adjusted the "grade" of this Aquarius chief down one level in his mind, basically on par with Chief Edward of the Scorpio branch.
Although the situation this time is somewhat special, the King-Slaying Society has a lot of complete intelligence in its hands, and is hiding in the dark and taking the initiative. As the passive defensive party, it is indeed difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems.
But as a zodiac-level branch director, it was unacceptable that Director Aquarius was held back and failed to stop the other party from going to the center of the earth, but he was actually injured by the True God who was suppressed by the Watch Palace.
If it was our red-haired chief who came here, let alone saying that she was injured by a sneak attack, she would probably laugh three times when she saw the attackers, and then kill a dozen True God Kukus by herself.
All in all, as bad as Edward.
After secretly complaining a few words in his mind, Leon, under the worried urging of the female cleaner, controlled the Nightmare River and began to speed up. Not long after, he found Director Aquarius, who was lying on the ground with his butt sticking up, licking the ground with his tongue with a sneer in a mantle crack.
Lyon: (￣□￣;)
Meili: ＼(□ l|l)/
Because the scene in front of him was so shocking, even though time was very tight, Leon still stood outside the rift for a while. After a while, he reacted and turned his head to look at the female cleaner beside him, and said hesitantly:
"Are you sure...he is your great uncle?"
"..."
I am sure...but what should I do if I don't really want to admit it?
Facing Leon's strange inquiry, the cleaner bit her light pink lower lip again and again with her small white teeth. After preparing herself mentally for several times, she turned her head away and hummed. Her small and rosy earlobes turned red with shame.
It's okay, I understand you.
After glancing at the embarrassed female cleaner, Leon, who felt the same way, said nothing more. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and patted her on the back comfortingly.
Speaking of embarrassment, our red-haired chief is almost as bad. The debt collectors sent by the taverns in the royal capital have already come to our virgin branch to collect the debts... well... you'll get used to it.
However, just when Leon and the other were empathizing, Director Aquarius, who was licking the ground in the crack, seemed to have vaguely sensed something and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Leon and the other.
Even though there was a hint of colorful light in his pupils and his eyes could not directly lock onto the positions of Leon and the other man, just that one cold glance from him made the hearts of Leon and the other man tighten, as if they were being stared at by some ferocious beast at the top of the food chain.
"Uncle Grandpa!"
Frightened by the cold eyes of Director Aquarius, the female cleaner quickly called out:
"I'm Mary! You..."
"it's useless."
After looking at Director Aquarius's ear and vaguely seeing a cloud of mist near the ear hole, Leon couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said:
"Chief Balto's hearing and vision must have been blocked by himself. He can't hear what we are saying, so he should just..."
"Merry? Is that Merry?"
"?"
Seeing the blue-haired old man in the distance suddenly soften his expression and change from a murderous look to a doting one, Leon could not help but be stunned, while the female cleaner explained beside him a little embarrassedly:
"Just like my nose, there is a sensory anomaly buried in the temporal lobe of my uncle's forehead. It can vaguely observe things that are close in a very special way."
"Oh……"
…While Leon and the other man were talking, the blue-haired old man had already climbed up from the ground, ran out of the mantle crack, and came in front of the two of them.
"Uncle Grandpa!"
Even though she felt that his behavior was a bit embarrassing, after seeing the blood-stained collar of the blue-haired old man, the female cleaner rushed over, stretched out her hand to hold the arm of Director Aquarius, and complained with some concern:
"How did you get hurt? Ouch! Such a big hole!"
"Hehe, my uncle is old now. His vigilance and reaction speed are not as good as when he was young. He was ambushed by someone."
"then you……"
"It's okay, it's just that my heart exploded. And if you had come any later, my heart would have almost healed."
After saying a few words with a smile and pulling up his clothes to cover the wound on his chest, Director Aquarius blinked slightly, dispersing the colorful light that blocked his eyes, and then stared at Leon standing beside him.
"This is the new Aquarius Director, right?"
The vertical lines between his eyebrows slightly split open, and the bean-sized black and yellow eyeballs inside quickly glanced at Leon. Director Aquarius frowned slightly, and while closing his third eye, he also said meaningfully:
"Mr. Director, may I ask why you look like this now?"
“Your Excellency, that’s not necessary. You can just call me Leon. As for my current appearance, it is caused by the power of the Nightmare King.
The Pseudo-Illusion and the Heart Lake God of the King-Slaying Society were planning to use the heart lakes of nearly 100 million souls in Rehe City to increase their power, and in order to stop him, I could only summon the Nightmare River first and take away all the souls in Rehe City..."
After briefly explaining what he had done, Yan Zhiang, who had an evil and arrogant temperament, smiled darkly at Director Aquarius, then raised his dead white arm surrounded by ominous black mist and pointed towards the front of the mantle crack.
"Sir Balto, there was some movement deep in the center of the earth just now. I'm worried that the people of the King-Slaying Society are about to break the blockade and release the three tribes of the Stone Marrow Realm. So why don't we talk while we walk?"
"That's what I planned too."
After nodding to Leon, Director Aquarius said seriously:
"But if we continue to go down, we must be careful of Xuebei... He is the illusion created by the Pseudo-Illusion and the God of Heart Lake. Although his strength is not that strong, the illusion he created is too real, even for me it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
The only way I have found so far is to get close and lick it with my tongue."
"what?"
The female cleaner was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then looked in Leon's direction in confusion.
"Do I need to lick it to determine if it's real or not?"
"Strictly speaking, it's using your sense of taste."
Not noticing the gaze of his niece, the blue-haired old man looked at Leon, who did not look surprised, with a puzzled look, and explained:
“The illusions created by the power of the Pseudo-Illusion and the Heart Lake God are not necessarily all false, and they can even have entities. Therefore, it is difficult to judge the truth with the five senses alone, and even intuition may not be useful.
However, if he wants to exert his power with all his strength, he needs to rely on a certain medium, which should be a small part of his body tissue. These body tissues separated from his original body will have some flavors that he disguised with his imagination and should not have..."
"A bit salty, isn't it?"
