Chapter 1145

No... are you a bit too doting on her?

Although he knew that the Taurus Director and his own Director had a very good relationship, almost treating her as her own daughter, after listening to the Taurus Director's words, Leon still couldn't hold it together.

However, just as Leon wanted to open his mouth to say something, the red-haired Director seemed to have anticipated his thoughts in advance, leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"There is a pair of ear studs on my ears. Every time I fight, whether I attack or am attacked, it will trigger the effect of this pair of 【Stealing Heart Nails】, allowing me to hear a part of the other party's inner voice."

"..."

So that's how it is...

After listening to the red-haired Director's explanation, a look of realization flashed in Leon's eyes.

No wonder the Flesh-Bearing Doe was bullied like that and still insisted on not fighting back. As a member of that mysterious organization, it must have secrets that it didn't dare let the Director know. And thinking is something that even True Gods cannot completely control.

Therefore, the more the Flesh-Bearing Doe didn't want the Director to hear anything, the more it tended to think about something in its heart. If they really fought, it would probably be no different from directly exposing itself, so it could only try its best to avoid a head-on confrontation.

"Director, can I ask a question?"

After looking at the Taurus Director who was thinking in the Celestial Sphere Mirror, Leon poked the red-haired Director's back and communicated through soul:

'How is the effect of your 【Stealing Heart Nails】? Is it easy to trigger?'

'It's quite easy.'

The red-haired Director blinked and said:

'These two Stealing Heart Nails are a pair. The one on the left ear is triggered every time the body is attacked, and the one on the right ear is triggered every time the other party's body is attacked. I usually only use the one on the right ear.'

Every time the other party's body is attacked, the effect of 【Stealing Heart Nails】 is triggered once?

Upon hearing the red-haired Director's words, Leon's brows couldn't help but jump slightly.

If this is the case, then the number of triggers of 【Stealing Heart Nails】 is directly linked to the frequency of attacks. And his own Director's 【Slaughtering Blood Hair】 has a total of more than 100 million strands. In terms of attack frequency, I'm afraid he can't even find anyone who can keep up with her.

That is to say, if it weren't for the worry of receiving too much garbage information and causing the brain to explode, the thoughts of anyone fighting his own Director would be completely transparent, and any plans would be detected in advance.

Sss... come to think of it, it's really perverted. No wonder no one wants to provoke her.

'Leon.'

After quietly reaching behind her back and twisting Leon's back of the hand, the red-haired Director glared at him quite unhappily.

'Did you forget that our souls are still connected, and I can hear what you are thinking?'

Uh... I didn't forget, but what I think in my heart isn't something I can control...

Being caught on the spot for speaking ill of people in his heart, Leon, who was a bit embarrassed, could only change the subject:

'The Aquarius Director said that the people in that organization all signed something, and if they leaked secrets, they would die on the spot. Although it was modified later under the Aquarius Director's suggestion, there must still be restrictions.

So your 【Stealing Heart Nails】 effect is simply a natural restraint for them. If you meet someone who is suspected to be a member of that organization in the future, you can ask about this aspect first. If it succeeds, the opposite side will hang up directly. If it doesn't succeed, you can also hear some news.'

'Good idea!'

"Olivia." Just as the red-haired Director and Leon were whispering and studying how to use the effect of 【Stealing Heart Nails】 to directly pit the Aquarius Director's accomplices, the Taurus Director on the other end of the Celestial Sphere Mirror also finished thinking and frowned:

"I just pondered for a while and felt that this matter might be much more serious than imagined.

If I'm not mistaken, the ultimate goal of that organization taking action against the royal families of various countries should be to use this method to weaken or even shield the protection effect of the Watchtower."

The Watchtower again?

After listening to the Taurus Director's judgment, Leon and the two looked at each other, and the red-haired Director asked:

"Can you tell me more specifically? Why does taking action against royal family members weaken the effect of the Watchtower?"

"This is a long story..."

The Taurus Director's expression wasn't very good:

"After we 'Palace-Sitters' complete the ascension, we can still retain the human heart at the very beginning, but in the incomparably long years, we are destined to slowly lose our will under the influence of the Watchtower and fade away the human emotions that belong to us.

However, the source of the Watchtower's power is the love for oneself, for relatives, and even for the entire human race. A soul lacking the drive of this love will deviate from the power of the Watchtower and find it difficult to continue to bear the work of the Palace-Sitter."

When she said this, the Taurus Director paused slightly, then sighed:

"Speaking of which, this matter is actually a bit cruel...

Because Palace-Sitters are really very rare, and sometimes there are even vacancies, so in order to ensure that the 'usage period' of each Palace-Sitter is long enough to last until the next Palace-Sitter appears, the first Gemini Director thought of a clever way and proposed to add an 'anchor point' for all Palace-Sitters."

"Anchor point?"

"You can understand that this anchor point is the person the ascender misses the most. Spouses or direct blood descendants are the best."

The Taurus Director explained warmly:

"Love, besides being an emotion, is also a habit. And after having this anchor point, even if the Palace-Sitter's soul is slowly washed away by time and slowly loses its original abundant emotions, it will follow the habit, continue to maintain the current state, and perform the task of protecting humanity.

And the ancestors of the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms chose their children as anchor points before ascending the palace. Although the 'anchor points' they chose back then have long since died, this connection has been passed down with the bloodline and dispersed to the members of the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms."

"But haven't the souls of those past Palace-Sitters already dissipated with time?"

Leon couldn't help but ask:

"Since they are already gone, having these anchor points shouldn't have any influence on the Watchtower, right?"

"Not so. Although their souls are gone, their will will not disappear because of this, but will become a part of the Watchtower."

The Taurus Director shook her head:

"According to the strength of the soul, a Palace-Sitter can maintain at least three or four hundred years, and some can even last for a thousand years, until they are completely worn away. This time is really very, very long.

Even ordinary people who sit facing the wall all year round may leave their shadows on the wall. And the souls of those predecessors were originally very powerful. After sitting in the Watchtower for a thousand years to protect humanity, their 'shadows' have long been engraved into the Watchtower and become a part of the Watchtower.

And the effectiveness of the Watchtower is getting stronger and stronger, which is inseparable from the 'shadows' left by those predecessors. Even if the soul has long been worn away by time, their will is still following the habits of 'before death' and continuing to protect our race."
