Chapter 1343: The Sinister Nature of the Human Heart

~9 min read 1,651 words

This damn old thing!

Looking at the third-generation Director's shameless smiling face, the urge to kill him surfaced in the incarnated hind's heart for the third time. But in the end, for the sake of the "big picture," it suppressed its rage, closed its eyes, and said coldly, "The one who made the agreement with you back then has already gone missing in the Old Earth. We only inherited the agreement between you and the 'King-Slaughtering Society' and do not have the power to modify the specific terms. Therefore, the cost cannot be increased; it can only be one question every twenty years!"

"Then why don't you just ask them separately?"

After glancing at the incarnated hind that was swallowing its pride, the third-generation Director, in an excellent mood, said with a chuckle, "How about this: I'll give you a question for free. I forged a total of three anomalous objects for him. You just ask what the first one is, what the second one is, and what the third one is. Doesn't that mean the price has been increased to sixty years?"

"..."

I shouldn't have taken this mission!

After pawing the ground in extreme annoyance, the incarnated hind snorted hard. Then, under the third-generation Director's triumphant gaze, it said with a ferocious expression, "In the name of the official member of the King-Slaughtering Society, 【Elk】, and in accordance with the covenant established by both parties on the 【Law Book】, I initiate three questions to member 【Iron Badger】. For every question member 【Iron Badger】 answers truthfully, the King-Slaughtering Society shall gratuitously extend his lifespan by twenty years..."

Following the incarnated hind's cold and rigid chanting, several scraping sounds of axes carving into stone slabs rang out one after another. Three lines of cuneiform script, only the size of beans and arranged horizontally, appeared out of thin air. Then, as if they were living things, they successively penetrated the square-headed old man's mouth, carving themselves all over his tongue and throat.

Tsk... this writing is really ugly.

Sticking out his tongue and looking at the countless bean-sized true-word carvings on it, the third-generation Director couldn't help but curl his lip in disgust, then answered, "I forged a total of three anomalous objects for that Li Ang. The first one is the 【Dream-Desire Invader】 forged from the weapon of the Lord of Desire, whose main effect is to invade dreams or drag others into dreams; the second one is called the 【Unjust Snake Contract】, which was stewed from the tail of the Goddess of Wealth, and its effect is that after meeting certain conditions, it can forcibly exchange the target's anomalous object; the third one is forged with the Water Bottle... hmm..."

When he reached this point, the square-headed old man's cheek twitched slightly, as if his tongue had been pricked hard. Looking surprised, he spat out the blood foam in his mouth, frowned, thought for a moment, and then continued with a speechless expression, "The third anomalous object is the 【Screaming Hand】 forged from a portion of the 'former' Water Bottle Director's soul combined with Soul-Piercing Nettle. Once hit, even a True God would scream in pain... Hmm, that's all the anomalous objects I forged for him... Speaking of which, this agreement is really not just ordinarily rigid. Does even missing the word 'former' count as me telling a lie?"

"Damn it!"

With no time to pay attention to the third-generation Director's complaints, after hearing the news about these three anomalous objects and firmly remembering them, the incarnated hind couldn't help but curse. It then asked with rage, "You didn't keep your word! What about the most critical immortal body and the authority-stripping ability? Why aren't they among these?"

"You didn't ask about that~"

After glancing at the furious incarnated hind, the square-headed old man's mouth pulled up sharply, revealing a brilliant smile. He then winked and said, "I can give you another piece of information for free: that Li Ang learned from me... cough! Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, as if he were about to stop breathing, after a bout of violent coughing, the third-generation Director restrained the strange smile on his face and said solemnly, "When he came to me last time, besides begging me to help forge anomalous objects, he also used the rare materials I gave him to personally forge five anomalous objects here... So, do you want to ask five more questions?"

Anomalous objects personally forged by Li Ang?

Hearing the third-generation Director's words, the incarnated hind couldn't help but hesitate, then shook its head with vigilance, "I won't ask! He is just a beginner; even with your guidance, he definitely couldn't forge anything good!"

"You're full of crap!"

Hearing the incarnated hind's words, the square-headed old man was instantly furious and slapped his tombstone hard.

"Who the hell guided him? I didn't guide him at all! That guy didn't learn any forging from me... Damn!" After angrily swearing, the third-generation Director, who was punished for lying, spat out blood foam twice and said with a dark face, "Fine! I admit it, I did teach him a few things, and he also produced results that opened my eyes. That kid's talent in the secret arts of the Golden Bull Palace is absolutely unique; in the entire history of the Bureau of Cleanup, you couldn't find a second talent as special as him. And those five anomalous objects he personally forged under my... my guidance, using a large amount of precious materials, have almost incomparable mysterious abilities. In terms of uniqueness, they even exceed the vast majority of numbered anomalous objects."

?!?!?!

After sizing up the third-generation Director's mouth and discovering that the 【Law Book】 had not been triggered, the incarnated hind couldn't help but gasp in dead air, its two deer eyes filled with horror.

Unique, incomparable, exceeding the vast majority of numbered anomalous objects... To reach this level after learning for only two or three months? Is that Li Ang's forging talent really that exaggerated?

"Here, see? Everything I said is true."

Sticking out his tongue and shaking it twice to let the incarnated hind check the 【Law Script】 on it, the third-generation Director, feeling some regret, said with a dark face, "In short, I can guarantee that the anomalous objects personally forged by that Li Ang are definitely ones that you, or even anyone in the entire King-Slaughtering Society, have never seen in your lives, and they will definitely cause you a huge shock. Alright, the specific conditions are the same as before: one question per anomalous object. Five questions total one hundred years. Do you want this intelligence?"

"..."

How could I not want such precious intelligence!

Recalling the descriptions in the third-generation Director's words that could be called shocking, the incarnated hind almost blurted out its agreement.

However, thinking of the experience of being deceived just now, after hesitating for a while, it narrowed its three pairs of deer eyes and said, "I am indeed interested in this intelligence, but you must first tell me: are his immortal body and his ability to strip authority among these five anomalous objects?"

"Heh."

Facing the incarnated hind's question, the third-generation Director sneered, then reached out to pinch a non-existent zipper and pulled it gently from left to right beside his lips.

From now on, I won't say anything. Ask if you want to!

"..."

Damn it! This old thing really still wants to plot against me!

Looking at the square-headed old man's attitude, which clearly showed he was prepared to pit him, the incarnated hind couldn't help but stomp its hooves in anger and instinctively wanted to refuse this transaction.

But thinking of the third-generation Director's descriptions that sounded extremely exaggerated but were proven to be true by the 【Law Book】, it finally gritted its teeth and opened its mouth again.

"In the name of the official member of the King-Slaughtering Society, 【Elk】, and in accordance with the covenant established by both parties on the 【Law Book】, I initiate five questions to member 【Iron Badger】..."

"In any case, I can guarantee that the anomalous object Leon forged with his own hands is definitely something you, or even anyone in the entire King-Slaying Society, have never seen in your lives, and it will definitely cause you a huge shock.

Alright, the specific conditions are the same as before: one anomalous object per question. Five questions for a total of one hundred years. Do you want this intelligence or not?"

"..."

How could I not want such precious intelligence!

Recalling the shocking descriptions from the third-generation Director, the Incarnate Doe almost blurted out an agreement.

However, thinking of the experience of being deceived just now, after hesitating for a while, it narrowed its three pairs of deer eyes and said:

"I am indeed interested in this intelligence, but you must first tell me: are his immortal body and his ability to strip authority among these five anomalous objects?"

"Heh."

Facing the Incarnate Doe's inquiry, the third-generation Director sneered, then reached out to pinch a non-existent zipper and pulled it gently from left to right beside his lips.

From now on, I won't say a word. Ask if you want, or don't!

"..."

Damn it! This old thing really still wants to scheme against me!

Seeing the square-headed old man's attitude, which clearly showed he was prepared to pit him, the Incarnate Doe couldn't help but stomp its hooves in annoyance, instinctively wanting to refuse this deal.

But thinking of the third-generation Director's descriptions—which sounded extremely exaggerated but had been proven true by the 【Law Book】—it finally gritted its teeth and opened its mouth again.

"In the name of the King-Slaying Society's official member 【Elk】, and in accordance with the covenant established by both parties on the 【Law Book】, I initiate five questions to member 【Iron Badger】..."
