Chapter 774: Cat's Future is Not Bright
Chapter 774: Cat's Future is Not Bright
After operating the crystal ball for a long time, she still couldn't find the figure of the "fighting hard but unfortunately defeated" thrush. The cat-eared woman blinked her clear eyes slightly, and seemed to understand something vaguely.
I knew it……
After giving up the idea of looking for the thrush with a grim look on her face, the cat-eared woman controlled the crystal ball in her hand, carefully watched what was happening in the center of the earth, and then she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although the pillar gods of the King-Slaying Society are terrifying, they may be able to defeat you as long as you are not captured by the "truth" they hold... But this God of Food who treats mountains as if they were stones is so strong that it makes people despair.
With the terrifying fighting power he has shown, as long as he can contact the people from the Cleanup Bureau, find a way to invite this God of Food over, and help him avoid the [Bedtime Story], there might be a chance of a comeback!
Thinking of this, the cat-eared woman could not help but reach out and gently stroke the crystal ball, locking the screen back on Director Taurus. She then took a deep breath and recited two secret words in succession.
"I want to observe the present... I want to peek into the future!"
As the cat-eared woman's voice murmured vaguely, the situation in the crystal ball changed slightly. The past, present and future, the three points instantly connected into a line, reflecting a moment of the future for a very brief moment.
On a dark and cold rainy night, a black cat with fur stained with blood and its belly ripped open by some kind of sharp blade hung on the top of a high tower, weeping silently as it was dying...
"hiss……"
Subconsciously covering her lower abdomen and taking several steps back, the pale cat-eared woman couldn't help but bite her lower lip hard.
It's like this again... it's like this again!
Looking at herself screaming in the crystal ball, a look of dejection suddenly appeared in the eyes of the cat-eared woman.
Over the years, whenever he tried to contact the people in the Cleansing Bureau, he would inevitably end up in this deadly future. Even after he used the agreement between the Ten Descendants of the Dating and the Law Book to usurp the position of the "Black Cat" in the King-Slaying Society, the result did not change.
Once he tried to leave the land of Miphala, or wanted to contact any official member of the Cleansing Bureau, in the future glimpsed by the Great Witch's [Heart], he would inevitably end up dead without a complete body, and there has never been an exception.
He even attacked the cleaner of the Pisces branch, seized an abnormal object made by the Taurus director himself, and used the aura on it to lock her. In the end, the result was still the same. As long as he tried to ask the Cleanup Bureau for help, he would surely die without a complete body.
And after so many years, I still can't even figure out why, I don't even know how I died!
It was obvious that as long as he could contact someone from the Cleansing Bureau, there was a great chance that he could reveal his situation and find strong reinforcements who could fight against the King-Slaying Society. But no matter how he tried, it was just... wait!
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, the cat-eared woman kicked off her satin slippers, stepped barefoot on the thick wool carpet, and then ran a few steps to the other side of the room. The old floor creaked miserably, which instantly triggered a series of curses.
"You bitch! What are you doing so rashly in the middle of the night?"
"Can't you just keep quiet? How can you run such a big repair shop?"
"Damn it! Can't you fix it during the day? Why are you bothering me in the middle of the night?"
"If I hear you jumping on the floor again, I'll get up tomorrow and stab your little man!"
Amid the angry curses of the neighbors who were awakened, the cat-eared woman rummaged through the storage compartment in the house for a while, pulled out a broken old broom from the corner, grabbed it in her hand, ran back to the table, and looked at the crystal ball with hope in her eyes.
As she moved, the cold rainy night in the crystal ball twisted slightly, and the black cat hanging high above the spire disappeared, replaced by a young man with black hair and black eyes.
I found the right one! The old broom that Matilda sent for repair was indeed the one used by the God of Food in the Cleaning Bureau!
Looking at the familiar face in the crystal ball, the black cat couldn't help but show a slight joy. Then he quickly held the crystal ball and recited the secret words to activate the power again.
"I want to...see...observe...spy..."
As she chanted excitedly, the three dim stars in the crystal ball quickly connected into a line, and the dark future that was originally completely unobservable once again leaked a moment of light into her crystal ball.
"Why are you so squeamish?"
This is……
Looking at the black cat huddled in the corner, the God of Food she was talking to, the cat-eared woman was overjoyed. It had changed! The situation had changed! Finally, it was no longer a death without a complete body, but a new future that she had never seen before! So if she could find a way to contact the God of Food, her fate, which was originally doomed to die, would really have a chance to be completely changed!
"I've never seen anyone with more trouble than you..."
Under the ecstatic gaze of the cat-eared woman, the light and shadow in the crystal ball changed rapidly. First, the black cat huddled in the corner called out twice with a look of resistance on its face. Then, the black-haired and black-eyed God of Food squatted down and grumbled, handing over the old wooden basin filled with sand in his hand, and complained impatiently:
"Do cats need to use the toilet? Can't they just use a basin?"
"???"
……
"Forget about the basin. I can just use an ordinary bowl..."
After declining the rice bowl brought by the maid, Leon looked at the blue-haired brother and sister who were eating happily with a basin in hand. The corners of his mouth twitched, and then he turned his head to look at Director Aquarius next to him, and couldn't help asking:
"Chief Balto...does your family always eat like this?"
"That's not always the case."
After hearing Leon's question, Director Aquarius couldn't help but smile, and then replied kindly:
"Only the direct descendants of the Aixito royal family would eat like this. Although those whose bloodlines are not pure enough have a much larger appetite than ordinary people under the influence of the [Gluttony] power fragment, they are still far behind the two of them... By the way, Mr. Director!"
When he said this, Director Aquarius seemed to suddenly remember something, put down his elbow, and asked curiously:
"I remember that your wife is also from the royal family. It seems that there are fragments of the power of Pride in her blood, and the purity should not be low, right?"
"Correct."
"So when are you going to have kids?"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
After being startled by Director Aquarius's "big turn" and swallowing the broth in his mouth with difficulty, Leon couldn't help but say awkwardly:
"We're both pretty busy, so we haven't planned anything yet... ahem... so why are you asking this?"
"I brought this up mainly because I wanted to suggest that it's better to have children a little later."
After raising his chin towards the blue-haired siblings who were eating heartily across from him, Director Aquarius lowered his voice and said:
"You should already know that the fragments of power inherited from the blood of the twelve royal families will have a significant impact on the royal bloodline itself, and may even cause innate character defects."
Hmm...it seems there is indeed a problem in this regard...
After recalling the appearance of a certain freckled prince who deserved a beating, Leon couldn't help but rub his palm subconsciously, and then asked back with a sense of realization:
"You mean... like Meili and His Majesty Harvey, I can wait until I become a true god before having children. This way, there will be two different fragments of power that will offset each other, and the impact on the child will be less?"
"In theory, that's exactly what it is."
Seeing that Leon understood everything, Director Aquarius nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to add:
"But in addition to simple hedging, we also need to consider the specific situations of the two power fragments. For example, Meili and her friends' [Calm] fragments can effectively suppress the [Gluttony] fragments, helping them to stay rational in most situations."
It turned out to be the case.
After nodding with a look of understanding, Leon immediately followed this line of thought and began to think about his existing powers.
[Fear], [Nightmare], [Night], [False Illusion], [Heart Lake]... None of them seem positive. If you add Veronica's [Arrogance]...
Hiss... I don't feel optimistic! Considering the development of the next generation, should I find a more humble evil god and go to his house to take a bite of him?
