Chapter 1490: The Way to Break the Situation

Faced with the temptation of "Truth," the Captain of the Great Witch Court's guard ultimately couldn't hold back and signed their name on the Yarn Ball Society membership application.

Stable~

Feeling the disposable target "+1" again, the evil Duke who successfully "turned" the Captain of the Great Witch Court's guard nodded with satisfaction, and then kept his promise, telling the truth of the matter.

"I want to catch her, but it's not the time yet; she wants to be caught by me, but she's a bit cowardly."

"？？？？"

I can understand every word you say when you break them down, but why does it sound so confusing when put together?

Confusing? It's right to be confusing! I only promised to tell you the truth, I didn't promise to let you understand it~

Smiling at the still-confused Captain of the guard, Leon didn't explain, but put away the newly acquired indenture, turned around, and walked back to his original position, preparing to continue searching for the next prey.

And seeing him cheat another laborer, with that satisfied look, the cat witch waiting on the side of the road finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to ask:

"Your Grace the Duke, the people you pulled into the Yarn Ball Society are all elites of major societies, but in terms of real strength, most of them can't even compare to a third-level cleaner. What is the significance of you doing this?"

"Of course it's significant."

Smiling at the confused cat witch, Leon asked back:

"Do you feel that the shackles on you have eased slightly?"

"?"

Hearing Leon's question, the cat witch couldn't help but be slightly startled, then felt her own situation as told, and was surprised to find that the shackles from 【Bedtime Stories】 on her body seemed to have really been weakened a bit.

Although this degree of weakening was far from enough to get rid of control, and it was hard to find if you didn't deliberately perceive it, she had indeed become much more "free" than before, and could even say some words that violated her role.

"This is one of the purposes of my constant pulling of people."

Without waiting for the cat witch to ask, Leon took the initiative to explain:

"Regarding the rules of 【Bedtime Stories】, I have already figured them out. Although its effect is extremely powerful, the restrictions are also very many, especially on the 'total amount' of Leon values."

"Total amount?"

"It's the sum of the 'total Leon values' of all targets pulled into the story."

After explaining the meaning of "total amount," Leon narrowed his eyes:

"The Pisces Branch was also stationed in the Secret Law City before. With the hostility of the Lu Wang Society toward our Cleaning Bureau, if they had the chance to wipe out the Pisces Branch in one go, they would certainly not let it go.

But they didn't include the Pisces Branch in the scope of 【Bedtime Stories】 to take the opportunity to eliminate the entire Pisces Branch, but instead sat and watched the Pisces Branch retreat. The reason can only be that they couldn't do it. 【Bedtime Stories】 itself must have some kind of restriction, and it is difficult to capture so many targets at the same time."

"In addition, although the range covered by this 【Bedtime Stories】 is the entire Secret Law City, the number of people who are really involved in the bedtime story is not as many as it seems.

Most people are just bystanders unrelated to the story. The only ones who have really entered 【Bedtime Stories】 and are shackled are you, me, and that fake princess, as well as some people and forces that really can't be avoided in the 'story plot,' for example..."

"For example, my Yarn Ball Society!" Hearing this, the cat witch's expression moved slightly, as if she suddenly understood something, and said with a look of sudden realization:

"No wonder they want to deal with the Yarn Ball Society! They are not afraid of me borrowing the power of the Yarn Ball Society, but they are afraid that I will drag everyone in the Yarn Ball Society into the story!"

"Correct, I also discovered the problem from this point."

Looking at the cat witch who understood at once, Leon nodded with approval, then reached out and patted the thick stack of indentures in the handcart, and continued to explain with a smile:

"More than half of the members you chose for the Yarn Ball Society are elites of the seventeen major societies. Although they are basically not good at fighting and might not even be able to beat a third-level cleaner, their combat power can be completely ignored.

But they have studied various mysterious powers for many years, and their own Leon values are not low. At least they are at the level of a second-level cleaner, and those few outstanding ones can even touch the threshold of a first-level cleaner. The total Leon value added up is definitely not small.

And the 【Bedtime Stories】 created by The Tale of Nothingness, although it has the ability to disrupt order and turn the false into the true, is after all a false story. The greater the gap between the story it creates and reality, and the more and stronger people affected by 【Bedtime Stories】, the more enormous the power consumed."

"It just so happens that your Yarn Ball Society has dozens or hundreds of 'cleaners,' which is almost equivalent to another Pisces Branch. The Tale of Nothingness can only control story nodes and general trends, but cannot control the complete story, so it is difficult to exclude the entire Yarn Ball Society."

"So for the sake of safety, he chose to strike first, and made up a story about the assassination of the Great Witch King, wanting to ruin your Yarn Ball Society, to avoid you bringing these people into the plot of 【Bedtime Stories】 when you fight back, increasing his extra burden."

"I understand!"

Hearing this, the cat witch had completely understood Leon's plan, blinked her big eyes, and said with joy:

"You are pulling people into my Yarn Ball Society everywhere, just to keep expanding the scope of 【Bedtime Stories】! Keep expanding until Wu... Wu..."

Although the constraints from 【Bedtime Stories】 on her body had been diluted by the new members of the Yarn Ball Society who signed the indenture, they were still not completely untied. The cat witch tried several times but couldn't say the name of The Tale of Nothingness completely, so she changed the way:

"Expand until that storyteller can't hold on anymore! Even if what he masters is an inviolable Truth, driving Truth also requires power. Even if it can't make us completely get rid of the shackles, it can share the intensity of the shackles!"

(In one look)

"Correct."

Looking at the cat witch who had understood his train of thought, Leon smiled and arranged:

"What we need to do next is to continue to keep stuffing people into your Yarn Ball Society. The more and more powerful people we stuff, the thinner the shackles on you and me, and the more power we can use."

"And after the power is restored to a certain extent, we can kidnap the presidents of the seventeen major societies, force all the members inside to press their fingerprints to join, then control these people to kill their way into the Great Witch Court, kidnap that mediocre Great Witch King, force your mother to abdicate, and then you be the Witch King and I be..."

"Uh... sorry, I got used to saying that when I was handing out flyers."

Noticing the cat witch's rather difficult expression, Leon hurriedly restrained the evil spirit on his face, corrected with a serious face:

"It's not forcing, it's inviting. When the time comes, we can invite His Majesty the Great Witch King to issue an order, asking everyone in the Secret Law City and even the entire Witch Kingdom who has Leon value to come and press their fingerprints, dragging them all into the story."

"And by that time, even if The Tale of Nothingness's 【Bedtime Stories】 can still be maintained, after the shackle effect is shared countless times, it will be equivalent to completely non-existent. In addition..."

Speaking of this, Leon paused slightly, then asked with curiosity:

"I am actually very curious, since Truth cannot be violated, then when the Pillar God who lays down the Truth cannot afford the consumption of using his own Truth, will he be sucked to death by his own Truth?"
