Chapter 1364

"Open the note in your hand!"

Looking at the deep-in-thought Li Ang, the dim phantom of the Aquarius Director said coldly:

"The content written on it can be considered the sincerity I am offering. Only by holding it can I tell you news regarding the future, but if you still want to know more about the future, you must answer my question!"

The future, huh...

After hearing the Aquarius Director's words, Li Ang could not help but narrow his eyes slightly, then followed instructions and opened the folded note.

Circle, circle, circle, circle.

"..."

What kind of nonsense is this drawing? The Olympic four rings?

Looking at the four circles drifting and connecting head-to-tail, densely crowded together on the note, Li Ang's brow could not help but furrow.

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he discovered that as he observed them, those strange characters connected into rings were actually visibly unfolding, transforming into a readable form...

It even thoughtfully provided a Simplified Chinese translation?!

"The Kingdom of Ice Plains, Aishituo; Hexagonal Mountain Range; Beneath Heat River City; Scorching Spring Molten River; Northern Land Ying River."

"The Kingdom of Witches, Mifala; Grand Witch Ritual; Old King's Life Exhausted; Black Cat's Belly Ripped Open; Witch Court Without Successor."

"The Thousand-Sail Sea Kingdom, Sai'ao; Moon-Obscuring Fog Dissipates; Sun Shadow Hard to Hide; Anchored Ships Fall into the Sea; Sailing Soil Piled with Corpses."

"The Twin Kingdom, Kalaiven; Luminescence Returns to Day; Profound Night Exhausted; West Falls, East Rises; Hateful People All Slaughtered."

"..."

After blinking his eyes in surprise, Li Ang reached out and stroked the first line of text, and a series of strange yet vivid paintings quietly unfolded within his black pupils through the obscure and difficult characters on the paper.

Lava beneath the white earth erupted like a flood, swallowing a human city standing beneath the snow ridge in the blink of an eye, and beneath the massive hexagonal glacier, it drew streaks of scorching rivers intertwined with red and black.

And the glaciers of the Hexagonal Mountain Range were rapidly shrinking at a speed of thousands of meters per second under the erosion of these scorching red and black rivers. Massive amounts of meltwater mixed with avalanches poured into the great river, expanding dozens of tributaries a hundred or a thousand times along the river course, soaking the three northern counties of the kingdom into a vast expanse of water.

Hexagonal Mountain Range, Beneath Heat River City, Scorching Spring Molten River, Northern Land Ying River...

Comparing the illusions folded into his pupils and pondering the content on the note, Li Ang's brow could not help but furrow tighter and tighter.

So... a disaster will occur in the Northern Kingdom in the future, and because the underground magma river erupts, it will not only destroy a city but also melt the glaciers of the Hexagonal Mountain Range, causing an unprecedentedly massive flood in the northern part of the entire continent?

And this level of disaster... is actually only one-quarter of what's on this note?

"I said just now that the Slaughter King Society has recently planned four operations. If I say nothing, they will succeed three times within the coming year."

After raising his hand to gesture a "three," seemingly having temporarily lifted the restriction against directly revealing the future, the Aquarius Director narrated with a calm expression:

"Even though the four actions of the Slaughter King Society did not all succeed due to the personal participation of a newly inaugurated director, and one was forcibly stopped, the other three actions still proceeded perfectly."

"Once the efficacy of the Watchtower Palace is weakened three times, a large number of True Gods above 60 Li Ang-value will descend. Even if the Cleanup Bureau reacts in time and recalls all the combat power it can, many faces you are familiar with will still disappear forever in the subsequent war."

"..."

"Also, you don't need to think about telling anyone about these things."

After raising his finger to point at the note in Li Ang's hand, the Aquarius Director sneered and said: "The note in your hand, besides being a carrier for transmitting information, is also a necessary prop for 'intervening' in the future. Only those who hold and see it can learn news about the future from me."

"And it is made using a portion of my existence and is completely under my control, so without my permission, you will be unable to inform anyone about news regarding the future."

"..."

This old Aquarius bastard, he's already dead as a doornail, yet he still has this punchable attitude...

After raising his hand to stroke the other three rings of text on the note, he looked at the black cat in the illusion whose belly had been ripped open by a sharp blade, its corpse hanging high from the tower tip, able only to weep silently amidst the ruin;

He looked at the countless wandering souls screaming and wailing under the scorching sun, forced to scuttle their own ships and fall into the sea; he looked at the millions of people slaughtering each other with blades under the darkened sun and moon, with black and white inverted. Li Ang could only sigh and nod helplessly.

"You win... speak, how do we trade?"

"I want all your secrets!"

Looking at Li Ang, who had finally taken the initiative to concede, the corners of the Aquarius Director's phantom's mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and then he spoke with eyes full of fervor:

"I want to know your origins! Know your method for shielding the 【Watchtower Palace】! And! I also want to know..."

"You want too much."

【In the middle of looking/p>

Interrupting the Aquarius Director's words, Li Ang refused without hesitation:

"You should be clear about how valuable the secrets on me are. If you want all my secrets, even trading the entire 【Watchtower Palace】 wouldn't be enough. I cannot agree to this trade!"

"Indeed."

After frankly acknowledging Li Ang's words, the Aquarius Director smiled confidently:

"I admit that your secrets are indeed of immense value, but value is something that ultimately depends on the buyer. The future I possess, in terms of pure value, although not as important as the secrets on you, for you, it is... wait! Where are you going?"

"Of course, to find Nicole!"

"???"

In the Aquarius Director's bewildered gaze, Li Ang, who was walking quickly toward the gate of the Aquarius Palace, answered with murderous intent in his eyes:

"I think what you said just now was very correct. Value is something that ultimately depends on the buyer... so after I drag Nicole in front of you and put a knife to her throat, I believe you will answer whatever I ask!"

"You?!!!"

"If you think I won't do such a thing and am just putting on an act with you, then send your consciousness back to the Watchtower Palace and take a look at the future yourself! See if I will touch her!"

"Hehe, Nicole is to me nothing more than..."

"Nicole is nothing more than a daughter you regard as your own flesh and blood, the only kindness and forbearance in your humanity, the last attachment you have in this world, and the only softness in your heart that is as black as the bottom of a pot. She is indeed not worth mentioning."

"..."

"Alright, stop the nonsense!"

Switching out 【Performance Master】 and striving to play the role of 【Decisive Li Ang】, Li Ang stood before the gate of the Aquarius Palace and threatened with a sneer:

"I absolutely cannot agree to your conditions, so now it is your turn to make a choice. Either you be straightforward and change the conditions yourself, or I go out and bring back the person who can make you change the conditions... but I can't guarantee whether I'll be able to bring her back in one piece!"

"..."

What was I thinking back then? How could I have handed Nicole over to such a thing?
