Chapter 1033: 0630 All Old Actors

~7 min read 1,265 words

Will Aquarius try his best to avoid hurting people?

Hearing the Archer Director's words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then remembered the past of encountering Aquarius in the Dead Realm.

If the Archer Director's inference was correct, then the reason Aquarius didn't kill him at that time, besides wanting to arrange a way out for his "daughter" Nicole, probably also had reasons for this.

"In short, you don't need to worry about the safety of that girl he disguised as."

After looking at Leon, who was lost in thought, the Archer Director summarized:

"Based on my understanding of Aquarius, he himself has no interest in unnecessary killing. Plus, he has to avoid conflict with the will of the Watchtower Palace, so he definitely won't really strike a deadly blow. That girl was probably knocked out by him and then casually thrown somewhere.

And you cleaners who came to participate in the assessment all ate the sub-strains of 【Play-Dream Color Fungus】. Once your physical body in reality receives a fatal attack, you will wake up. So even if you can't find her whereabouts, it doesn't matter. After you go back, just blow her head up, and you can wake her up."

"..."

This method is really... simple and crude enough...

"Oh, by the way."

When saying this, the Archer Director suddenly became solemn, then asked:

"What about the other cleaners who participated in the assessment? Why is only you left? Where did they all go? Also, how is Pisces now? And what's going on with the newborn Nightmare King?"

"They are all safe. Pisces-sama was ambushed, and his soul has already switched to Mimi in advance, but he hasn't suffered any other harm..."

After briefly explaining the current situation, Leon proposed:

"Archer-sama, when Pisces Director was attacked, Aquarius Director didn't really leave. I'm worried he will play this trick again. Let's find Pisces-sama first, and I'll explain to you on the way!"

"That makes sense, but you don't need to worry too much."

After listening to Leon's proposal, the Archer Director first nodded, then picked up the tearful Dream Goddess by her feet and forcibly stuffed her back into the conch, then said proudly:

"Although Aquarius has many strange means, his level of head-on combat is poor, only slightly stronger than Pisces, who has soul problems. He is not my opponent at all. If it weren't for the fact that it was too sudden before, he wouldn't even have had the chance to ambush this fake body of mine."

"..."

Fine, fine, fine, you're the most awesome, okay?

Facing Director Sagittarius's boasting, the corners of Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice. Although he knew that what Director Sagittarius said was likely the truth, the impression of him being pathetic left on Li Ang when he was backstabbed by Aquarius the moment he arrived was simply too deep.

Especially his heroic posture of roaring with great momentum, looking like he wanted to tear Aquarius alive, but immediately lying down and becoming a fountain commander, kept lingering in Leon's heart. Watching him suddenly start boasting, it was really a bit hard to bear...

This kid... seems to be thinking about some very impolite things...

Looking at Leon's rather strange expression, the Archer Director's thick eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly, then he snorted coldly:

"Aquarius has many strange things in his hands, but the 【Anomalous Creation】 of the Aquarius lineage can only be used to manufacture anomalous items, while the secret arts of my Archer lineage are 【Anomalous Strengthening】 that can be used in battle!

Even if it's just an ordinary anomalous item, after being applied with my secret arts, it can exert unimaginable effects. For example, the 【Void-Eating Spider】 that almost ate Aquarius empty just now was just an ordinary... hm? What's the noise?!"

"Click."

Accompanied by a crisp sound of the mechanism returning to its place, a mark that was extremely familiar appeared quietly on the Archer Director's butt. In the shocked expressions of Leon and the two, the golden mark suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.

And after the golden mark disappeared, the Archer Director was slightly dazed, then stood there woodenly like he had lost his soul, not moving anymore.

(╯°□°)

"?!!!"

"..."

"Archer-sama?!"

"..."

"What's wrong with you? Make a sound at least!"

"..."

Just when Leon couldn't get a response and had to grit his teeth and put on the 【Screaming Hand】, preparing to forcibly wake him up, the Archer Director finally recovered from his daze, looking at Leon blankly:

"I'm gone..."

"Ah?"

"My body is gone! I was just killed by Aquarius!"

What did you say? !!!

Shocked by the Archer Director's words, Leon said with disbelief:

"He ran away just now... could it be that he cut away your time, and then relied on that time that was cut away to find the location of your main body?"

"Should be..."

The Archer Director nodded, explaining with an extremely stiff expression:

"He probably relied on the 【Ritual Pocket Watch】 to read my past, and finally cut away the time when my main body and fake body were in contact, arrived at the location where I should have been during that time, found the secret cellar where I hid my main body, and directly killed my main body..."

"..."

You... you just looked down on the Aquarius Director's combat ability, but you were calculated clearly by others!

Looking at the Archer Director who had lost his main body, Leon didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only comfort him speechlessly:

"It's okay, the body can be repaired. As long as your soul is still there, then..."

"He is using the remains of my body to repeatedly curse my soul."

"..."

"This time it's really big trouble..."

No longer having the confident appearance from before, the Archer Director, whose face was extremely ugly, muttered:

"Mimi has no combat ability at all, and it will take at least more than a month to switch back. As for me... ordinary materials simply cannot accommodate my soul. It will take at least half a year to repair the body, not to mention my soul is still being constantly cursed, and I don't dare to leave this body at will.

But Joan of Arc has already completed the preliminary preparations, and it will definitely be ascending to the Palace in less than half a month. There is no room for further changes. This... this..."

Isn't this completely screwed?

After completing the conclusion for the Archer Director in his heart, thinking of the extremely troublesome situation now, Leon couldn't help but feel unable to hold on.

Now three directors are one young and one disabled, the remaining Taurus-sama is about to ascend to the Palace and cannot make a move, while the Slaughter King Society is eyeing covetously, ready to directly assassinate the royal family at any time. The Yellow Zodiac Directors must guard their respective jurisdictions, and the non-Yellow Zodiac Branch Directors are not good enough... How the hell can we fight this?

"What about the other cleaners who participated in the assessment?"

After being silent for a while, the Archer Director's emotions finally stabilized a bit, then he instructed with an ugly face:

"I'll send you back first. After you go back, you must immediately notify the directors of your respective branches to come to the General Bureau for a meeting immediately!"

"Ah, okay!"

Leon nodded upon hearing this, then reached out and hooked his throat.

"Wait a moment, I'll spit them out immediately!"
