Chapter 1087

Invincible in reality...

Hearing the Aquarius Director's assessment of the red-haired Director, a look of doubt couldn't help but appear in the female reporter's eyes.

Although the Blood-Haired Maiden's record is terrifying, that is, after all, only the simplest physical damage. Many anomalous objects have extremely bizarre abilities, and some don't even need to show their faces to control or even kill their targets.

Just from what she knows, there are the 【Dead World Street Lamp】 and 【Butler's List】 that killed half of the Director's soul, the 【Whisper Blade】 from the Sagittarius Branch that can disable anomalous objects, the 【King's Pilgrimage】 from the Leo Branch that suppresses souls, and the 【Peacock Cloak】 from the Peacock Branch that destroys vision.

And even the three-piece time set crafted by the Director using the remains of the Time King, the 【Reflecting Lake Evil Moon】 from the Pisces Branch that forcibly modifies consciousness, the 【Hunting Death Sparrow】 from the Crow Branch, and so on and so forth.

Even if the Blood-Haired Maiden could pierce through the moon in three days, what could she do when facing these things that can directly cause her harm without even needing to appear in front of her?

"What? You don't believe me?"

After glancing at the female reporter's skeptical expression, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but smile:

"Haha, I know what you're thinking. It's nothing more than the idea that you can avoid fighting her head-on and use some covert means to deal with her.

But don't forget, the Virgo Branch stores the 【Twelve Ant Nests】, numbered 004. It can almost kill all humans in one go. Its importance is second only to the 【Watchtower Palace】 and the 【Star Dome Compass】, making it almost the most dangerous thing in the bureau.

So, have you ever wondered why such a deadly thing isn't kept at the General Bureau, but is instead placed in the Virgo Branch?"

"?!"

Amidst the female reporter's sudden shock, the Aquarius Director restrained the smile on his face and said earnestly:

"That is because all the directors who made this decision at the time, including myself, unanimously agreed that this thing is even safer in Olivia's hands than it would be at the General Bureau!"

"..."

"Nicole, although her nickname is the Blood-Haired Maiden, she doesn't only have the 【Slaughtering Blood Hair】 anomalous object."

The Aquarius Director sat cross-legged, gazing at the sun jumping over the horizon in the distance, and said with some nostalgia:

"The Taurus Director had a very compatible temperament with her and treated her like his own daughter, preparing plenty of good things for her.

In addition, in order to protect the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 well, the Taurus Director put in a lot of effort, even asking me to help him forge a whole set of protective anomalous objects for her.

Flesh and blood stabilization, soul revival, cognitive enhancement, memory clearing, mental reset, danger warning... almost every means you can think of is included. At the very least, I can't think of any means that could bypass those things to take her down.

And once she senses danger or suffers some kind of harm, these anomalous objects will immediately activate, eliminating all states deemed 'anomalous'...

Um... thinking about it carefully, I have essentially shot myself in the foot. If I had known today would come, I should have secretly left a backup plan."

"..."

With the female reporter looking at him not knowing how to respond, the slightly annoyed Aquarius Director concluded:

"In short, although Olivia is not the strongest cleaner, she is definitely the cleaner with the fewest weaknesses.

Even if twenty True Gods descended at once, they would only be able to endure the deadly 【Slaughtering Blood Hair】 and fight her head-on at the risk of being torn to pieces at any moment, until she was completely exhausted.

But the trouble is, during the long period of attrition, once the duty director discovers something is wrong and judges that the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 is in danger, within half an hour at most, a quarter of the sun will fall directly on your head. Even if I were bored out of my mind, I wouldn't go to ambush her.

After all, a guy like her, covered in a turtle shell, is the kind of opponent I am least good at dealing with. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to steal her wallet."

"..."

So... why on earth did you ask me to steal her wallet? Could it be that a lack of money in hand can make such an impeccable person reveal a flaw?

"Haha, don't ask about the wallet. I won't tell you." Before the female reporter could speak, he blocked her question, and the Aquarius Director smiled:

"Although I believe you won't betray me and hand me over to the Cleaning Bureau, you are indeed a soft-hearted good person, so I still have to be on guard to some extent. If you were to secretly leak my plan after knowing it, and the Blood-Haired Maiden's side became prepared, then I would be in a real bind."

"..."

"By the way, since we've chatted this far today, let me say one last thing."

After looking at the female reporter, who looked a bit depressed but also vaguely more relaxed, the Aquarius Director, with his young face, spoke with a rather kind demeanor:

"Nicole, regarding this plan, I actually don't have complete certainty that it will succeed.

So remember, if I fail in the end and don't manage to replace the Taurus Director to sit on the throne, but am instead finished off by the Blood-Haired Maiden or that Li Ang, you must not think about taking revenge for me. Just live well."

"..."

Hearing the Aquarius Director's testament-like instructions, the female reporter couldn't help but look up and meet his eyes. When she saw the Aquarius Director's kind gaze, a hint of bitterness welled up in her heart.

Although the Director is not a good person, if it weren't for him, she would only have rotted away on that dark, sunless privateer ship, and would never have had the opportunity to kill those pirates with her own hands and avenge her murdered parents.

Moreover, since she was seven, she had been taken by his side. Even learning to read and write was something he taught her in his spare time. After she grew up a little, she followed him on countless missions, protecting countless people, just as he had saved her.

Over so many years, although she still called him Director, in her heart, he had long since replaced her parents, whose faces she could no longer clearly remember, and had become her family, despite having no blood relation. That was why, even knowing he was wrong, she could never bring herself to be truly ruthless...

"Understood."

After responding vaguely, the female reporter turned her head slightly and said with a stiff face:

"Director, although your face has become younger, you are still as old as before, rambling on about so much... Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to the Dream Realm."

"Nothing else, go in peace!"

After waving his hand to signal her to set off quickly, the Aquarius Director, who had sat by the clock tower all night, stood up facing the sun, stretched his somewhat stiff body, and then smiled and said:

"My evil soul was finished off in the Dead World and has returned to the origin of the world. Now, my repaired soul is dominated by the remaining good soul, so I can barely be considered half a good person. Unless some special situation arises, it is very difficult for me to harbor any evil thoughts."

That's true...

Looking at the Aquarius Director, who was bathed in the rising morning sun, his temperament less gloomy and serious, and having become bright and kind, the female reporter nodded in relief, took the Dream-Traveling Lantern, and stepped into the Dream Realm.

After she had completely left, the Aquarius Director, standing by the clock tower and overlooking the capital, smiled, and then took out a somewhat dilapidated small wooden box.

"Knock, knock, knock."

After politely knocking three times on the lid of the small wooden box, he looked at the little blue figure that pushed open the lid and stood up inside, and the Aquarius Director smiled and said:

"Do me a favor! Please find the elite nightmare controlled by the Blood-Haired Maiden, and reveal Nicole's whereabouts and target to her. Thank you!"
