Chapter 1351

"Tha... thank you..."

After being forcibly dug out of the fish's mouth by the Pisces Director pinching her head with her fingers, the female cleanup agent, covered in mucus, lay on the stones on the shore, sobbing and thanking her with red eyes:

"If it weren't for you, I might have been eaten by that fish."

"..."

You're welcome. If you hadn't chatted with me for a couple of sentences, the Pisces Director probably wouldn't have forgotten to save you.

After pulling the corners of his mouth awkwardly, Leon handed over his coat, then looked up again and asked the Pisces Director above:

"Your Excellency Pisces, besides ensuring our safety, did His Excellency Taurus say anything else to you?"

"No more."

After shaking her small... big head, the Pisces Director replied:

"Jeanne only asked me to keep an eye on you. If someone can get out of their fish tank, then tell him he has passed... er... passed what selection, and then write down his name.

If after two hours, no one has run out of the fish tank, then take everyone out of the fish tank... No more chatting! There seems to be movement in the fish tank over there, I'll go take a look first, you guys keep it up!"

Can leaving the fish tank count as passing the selection?

After the Pisces Director released her grip on the edge of the fish tank and disappeared from the sky above, Leon frowned and pondered, roughly understanding the current situation in the Pisces Palace.

The Pisces Director is now just a child and cannot undertake the task of teaching the Pisces secret technique, let alone select a suitable person to inherit the position of Director in the future. Therefore, the other Directors simply replaced her and came up with these strange-looking, extra-large fish tanks.

And according to the information revealed by the Pisces Director, the secrets related to the Pisces secret technique should be hidden in these fish tanks responsible for assessing the cleanup agents. As long as one can comprehend and thereby enter the door of the Pisces secret technique, one can find a way to escape from the fish tank.

Hmm... so I have to touch around first!

Under the puzzled gaze of the petite female cleanup agent, Leon thought for a while and then squatted down directly, starting to touch the ground under his feet.

After touching for a while, he probably didn't find what he wanted, so he started to advance toward the misty high mountains in the distance. But after walking for a while, he disappeared into a fog, and then inexplicably walked back from another direction.

"Mr. Leon?"

Not understanding what he wanted to do, the petite female cleanup agent pulled on the coat she was wearing, tried her best to cheer herself up, and then asked with courage:

"You... what are you looking for?"

What am I looking for... of course I'm looking for the boundary of this "fish tank," so I can reach out and touch it!

If I can get information about this fish tank anomalous object, even if I can't directly learn the 【Anomalous Observation】 secret technique of the Pisces Palace, I can at least gain something.

However, the person who designed this fish tank seems to be deliberately targeting me. After walking a distance forward, backward, left, or right, I get shrouded in white fog and then sent back to the original place. There is simply no place where I can touch the "body" of the fish tank.

"Nothing... just pretend I'm exercising my body."

After casually brushing her off, Leon looked at the female cleanup agent wearing his coat. Then, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look at the clear lake water beside him and set his sights on the giant goldfish in the lake.

Could it be that these large goldfish are the key to "solving the puzzle"?

After suspicion arose in his heart, Leon intended to go down to the lake to touch and see. However, these strange fish were too huge, and the diameter of their eyeballs was over one and a half meters. When they swam, it was like a group of dump trucks racing in the water, which was not just a little outrageous.

And in the situation where anomalous objects could not be used, the petite female cleanup agent had just demonstrated the consequences of rashly going down to the lake to touch fish. Even if the Pisces Director came running to dig the swallowed person out of the fish's mouth, this experience was truly too tragic.

It seems better not to think about taking shortcuts and study the "proper" method... After temporarily extinguishing the idea of going down to the lake to touch fish, Leon sat on another stone by the lake and tried hard to "comprehend" the 【Anomalous Observation】 secret technique of the Pisces Palace.

And after calming down and pondering like this, he really saw some clues.

Those lion-head goldfish in the lake seemed to be just swimming around randomly, but the trajectories of their swimming actually had some not-so-obvious patterns, and the "tracks" that each goldfish swam were completely independent of the others, and they would never collide or overlap with each other.

This pool of lake water in the fish tank world seemed to be divided from a three-dimensional level into a large number of lines as thick as the goldfish, like a ball of yarn that had been tangled up, mixed together in a mess.

And the trajectories of these goldfish swimming were also like the tangled ball of yarn. On the surface, they seemed to be chaotic and disordered, tangled and knotted, with countless threads existing at the same time, but in essence, they were connected end to end and could be perfectly strung onto the same "thread."

So if one could find the end of the thread and unfold it back into a "thread"...

"Ah!"

Just as Leon was squinting his eyes and staring at the goldfish in the lake, starting to look for which fish was the "end of the thread," the female cleanup agent beside him, wearing Leon's coat and shivering in the wind, suddenly screamed, then stood up with joy:

"I understand! The trajectories they swim are actually the same one!"

Eh? She saw it too?

Upon hearing the female cleanup agent's words, Leon couldn't help but turn his head and look at her with slight surprise.

If he remembered correctly, when they were in the Sagittarius Palace, her progress in the Sagittarius secret technique had already been recognized by the Sagittarius Director. And looking at this, her aptitude in the Pisces secret technique seemed to be quite good?

"Ah, sorry, I was too excited..."

Seeing Leon's gaze glance over, the petite female cleanup agent couldn't help but shrink her neck and hurriedly apologized. Then, with a slightly excited expression, she said:

"Mr. Leon, I have already understood the pattern of those fish! These fish are actually the same one!"

"The Director told me that the Pisces Palace's secret technique, 【Anomalous Observation】, is a secret technique that involves a tiny amount of time scale. So what is in front of us is not a group of fish, but different stages of one fish."

"These fish shown to us by Your Excellency Pisces are actually starting from a certain 'starting point,' and every once in a while, a fish from that time is intercepted and then all these fish are put into the lake together."

"And among these displayed fish, the vast majority are 'futures' that appeared in advance. Only the very first one represents the 'now' that is happening."

"So as long as we find that fish, it's equivalent to grasping the 'truth' that is happening, and we should be able to get out of here!"

"Impressive."

After sincerely praising the female cleanup agent, Leon asked with great interest:

"Then have you found that 'real' fish?"

"Not yet..."

Upon hearing Leon's inquiry, the petite female cleanup agent's expression stiffened slightly, then she said with some frustration:

"The trajectories of these fish swimming are too chaotic, and they seem to be connected end to end. I... I can't tell which fish is the very first one. Do you... do you have any clues?"

I don't have any clues, but I do have a way.

After looking at the soaking wet female cleanup agent and recalling the scene of the fish fighting for food just now, Leon couldn't help but smile apologetically. He then stood up and walked over, asking the somewhat panicked female cleanup agent:

"Sorry... could I ask you to go down one more time?"

"..."

(*Д*)???
