Chapter 188

"Brother?"

After walking out of the inner room with a clean small cloth bag, finding that the baby-faced girl was gone and only Leon was still standing by the door, Anna asked curiously:

"Where is Miss Ai Mi?"

"The time I can stay at home is not much, and there are still things to ask you, so I asked her to go home first."

Turning his head to look out the window and finding that the strong old man was almost climbing in, Leon prepared to make a long story short, grabbed his sister's shoulder, and said seriously:

"Anna, tell me..."

"When did you and Sister Wei Luo Ni Ka happen?"

"Ah?"

Looking at Leon, whose eyes were somewhat stunned, Anna, who had asked the question first, bit her lower lip, then said softly with some resentment:

"That is... how did you meet? And how did you decide to get married? Why didn't you tell me at all?"

"……"

"This... can I say that I am actually still confused?"

After hesitating slightly, Leon explained:

"Anna, you should know that there are actually many things in this world that do not belong to the 'normal range', like that photo of yours, which has all kinds of incredible abilities."

"And Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka, she was influenced by something similar, making everyone in the Kingdom lose their memory of her, including you and me."

What? Everyone forgot her?!

Just hearing about the photo, Anna couldn't help but feel tight in her heart, subconsciously clutching the corner of her skirt. But after hearing the Princess's encounter, she couldn't help but say with surprise and sympathy:

"Then... doesn't she have anything left? Not only lost her identity, but even friends, family... lovers... all of these are gone?"

"Yes."

After getting a positive answer from Leon's mouth, Anna fell into silence.

This kind of situation of suddenly losing everything, if it were herself, she would probably collapse directly. And Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka not only didn't show any painful expression, but even talked and laughed with herself yesterday.

Except for the rims of her eyes being slightly heavy, showing that she didn't sleep very well at night, there was almost no abnormality on the surface. It really is...

"She is so strong..."

"Mm, she is indeed a very 'strong' person."

Understanding what his sister was sighing about, Leon, who had seen the Princess's soul, nodded in agreement.

In the soul vision of the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, everyone's soul has its own "base color." This doesn't refer to true colors like red, orange, yellow, or green, but a feeling closer to the essence.

Anna's base color is longing and warmth, the policewoman Yi Sha's base color is pity and responsibility, and the base color of Princess Wei Luo Ni Ka's soul is unparalleled extreme resilience. Her belief is hard to the point of being scary, as if she was born not knowing what despair is.

And this belief is not the kind of self-confidence that thinks she will definitely succeed, but the kind of determination that even if she knows the chance is slim, she will still continue to walk forward without hesitation, walking until both legs are worn flat without stopping, with no other end point except death.

Hmm... in a sense, her brother's soul is actually this feeling too. The "hardness" of the souls of these two royal family members he has come into contact with is very amazing.

It's just that if Princess Wei Luo Ni Ka's base color is called belief, then her brother's base color can only be called arrogance. Even after receiving a mixed double beating from himself and Auntie Ai Ma, and having several teeth pulled out, that guy still looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe this is the inheritance of the royal family!

……

Shaking his head slightly and no longer thinking about the freckled prince's strange soul, Leon looked at the strong old man's progress in climbing the window, then looked at his sister, who was admiring and somewhat envious, and asked seriously:

"Anna, can you tell me what you were thinking in your heart after you saw Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka yesterday?"

Ah? What was I thinking?

Being asked by Leon's words, Anna was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then answered:

"That is... very envious of her?"

"Just envious?"

"Also a little... want to become a person like her..."

Subconsciously aiming at the papaya placed in the kitchen, Anna said softly with some envy:

"My body is not good, but Sister Wei Luo Ni Ka is very healthy and very energetic; I am a bit too thin and small, and her... body shape is particularly good; and her personality too."

"Contrary to me who is not very good at speaking, she is very talkative, has a cheerful personality, and has a charm that makes people believe in her unconsciously... very similar to the personality of my mother in my memory."

After recalling the things of the past, Anna's eyes were full of warmth:

"Actually, since I was a child, I wanted to become a person like her and my mother, but I really couldn't do it,"

"……"

So... Princess Wei Luo Ni Ka is Anna's "ideal type," and the envy and the thought of wanting to become her that Anna produced after contacting her caused 【Warm Home】 to be repaired and turned into 【If】, which can replace others?

It feels... reasonable, but the degree seems a bit wrong.

Being able to make the ability of an abnormal object change, that thought of "if only I were her" is probably quite strong. If it were just simple envy, would Anna produce such a strong thought?

Frowning and pondering for a moment, worried that if he returned the photo to Anna, it would really make her replace the Princess, Leon didn't take out the photo, but grabbed Anna's shoulder and said seriously:

"Anything else? Is it really just these? You think about it carefully! Is there anything else?"

Other things...

The sickly girl couldn't help but bite her lower lip upon hearing this, a figure of a crying man flashed in her mind, and then she looked at Leon with a complicated expression.

If I obtained the photo of my family, and it was taken by that man, everything would be restored. You, William, and Mei Lan Ni would all find back the life you originally had, and I would no longer be your family.

If such a thing really happened, I would return to being alone, and your family would only have Sister Wei Luo Ni Ka. I am really so envious of her...

But it is precisely because I used that photo six years ago that I deprived you of your original life and let you leave your true family. I... do I have the qualification to stop that man and not let him change everything back to the original track?

I don't...

After her lips opened and closed slightly, Anna, whose expression was somewhat dim, shook her head and answered in a whisper:

"I don't..."

"You do! Anna! You must be hiding something from me!"

Even without using soul vision, Leon saw the hesitation in his sister's heart.

If it were other things, that would be fine. Everyone has their own secrets. But the content that Anna doesn't want to say mostly concerns the abnormal objects created by the Aquarius Director, and that absolutely cannot be vague!

"Although I don't know why you want to hide it from me, it has something to do with that photo, right?"

Mobilizing the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant and throwing out the strong old man who had already climbed in, Leon grabbed his sister's shoulder, stared into her eyes, and said very seriously:

"Anna! Listen to me!"

"Whether it is wanting to escape the mistakes of the past, or feeling that hiding it from me might be better for me, or some other reason, absolutely do not do this!"

After pausing slightly, looking at his sister who didn't deny it, Leon continued to emphasize while thinking:

"I am your brother. If you made any mistakes, just tell me directly! I will do my best to help you make up for it together!"

"If you want to do it for my own good, then there is even less need to hide it from me! My affairs should be decided by myself. You can try to persuade me, but you are not allowed to make choices for me!"

"I... I just..."

"Don't say anything else. You can only choose to tell me now, or choose to continue hiding it from me."

"……"

Secretly touching the horns of the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang and checking Anna's soul state, Leon's expression softened slightly, and he said warmly:

"Just like I said just now, the choice is yours to make. I cannot choose for you. However, I still hope you can tell me the situation."

"Anna, you have to be prepared. If you continue to hide it from me, I will definitely be very angry, very, very angry!"

"But you can rest assured, because I am your brother, so no matter how angry I am, I will eventually forgive you sooner or later! Now you can start choosing!"

However, although you are the one choosing, if I have already said so, and you still choose to hide it from me, then I will go find the Director in a while and try to borrow an abnormal object that can read minds!

"I..."

Not knowing Leon's despicable plan in his heart, looking at Leon who still chose to trust her and returned the right of choice to her at such a time, Anna couldn't help but have red rims in her eyes, and said softly with a sob:

"I choose to tell you! I will tell you everything!"

……

"What? The Aquarius Director has already been to the capital? And even went to your house?"

After hearing the news that Leon selectively relayed, even the usually calm red-haired Director was startled by this news.

"Yes, and the time is very recent, the night before the investigator from the Bureau came down."

After finishing Anna's encounter and the conversation between her and the Aquarius Director, Leon gritted his teeth with lingering fear:

"Director, this person is really too dangerous, and he is likely planning something extremely dangerous. Can't the internal questioning of him be advanced further?"

"Can't."

The red-haired Director shook her head helplessly:

"The year-end review six days later is already the fastest time I can think of. There is really no way to continue advancing it..."

"Um... if you are worried about the safety of your family, you can let your younger siblings drop out of school for these few days and temporarily live in the Bureau. I will protect them, and they can go back after the year-end review."

"I was thinking the same thing... Thank you, Director!"

After sincerely thanking the red-haired Director, feeling the pressure on his body finally relax a little, Leon couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then took out the photo and handed it over.

"Director, although I don't know why Aquarius wants it, what he wants to do is what we should stop. It's better to put this thing with you. I'm worried I can't keep it."

That photo that can replace identity?

After looking at the appearance of Princess Wei Luo Ni Ka on the photo, the red-haired Director pondered for a moment, then didn't take the photo, but took out a dirty small mirror from the drawer and shook it at the photo.

Looking at the photo that had directly turned from one into two after flickering slightly, Leon couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

This is? A copy-type abnormal object? Could it be that the Director wants to...

"This thing is called 【Copy in Pairs】, one of the abnormal objects I hold privately, and it is also a numbered abnormal object. The real strength is about number thirty."

"As for the ability, it is the same as the name. It can copy any thing into a completely identical replica, including abnormal objects. It's just that there will be a certain attenuation in terms of ability, and there can only be one replica at the same time."

"In addition, as long as the replica hasn't been destroyed, it will continuously consume my power. The longer it is maintained, the greater the power consumed. It is a troublesome abnormal object with many restrictions... but the effect is still very easy to use, especially when used for fishing."

After pushing one of the photos over, looking at Leon, whose eyes flashed with realization and who seemed to understand something, the red-haired Director couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and smiled:

"It seems you have already guessed. I didn't report 【Copy in Pairs】 to the Bureau. Aquarius should not be clear about it. It is just right to use it to try to set a trap for him."

"And in order to avoid him having any ability to perceive the location of abnormal objects, and then using some strange abnormal objects to steal the"

"things, as insurance, I only put fake photos here, while the real photo is placed in the small mirror you carry with you."

"As for the safety problem, you don't need to worry. For non-mirror world creatures, everything in the mirror is just an illusory reflection, without even a real physical body. If you don't take it out, he will definitely not discover it."

Good guy, can fish and can have double insurance. The Director who isn't drunk is really too reliable!

"Alright!"

After looking at the red-haired Director with some admiration, Leon was about to put the photo away, but saw the red-haired Director take out a small box, place it next to the real photo, and push it over together.

"This is?"

"The heart of that sheep... um... it's called 【Heart of Ambition】, right?"

Looking at Leon, whose eyes suddenly lit up, the red-haired Director said with a smile:

"Although the evaluation given is frighteningly low, you did pass the Bureau's investigation. Just about when you and Ai Ma were slapping Prince Qiaoshuya, the General Bureau sent someone to deliver the thing."

"Uh..."

"You were the one who led the beating of him, right?"

Looking at Leon, whose expression was a bit awkward, the smile on the red-haired Director's face disappeared, and she narrowed her eyes and said:

"Ai Ma said it was her who did it, and you were just standing up for her, but I don't think I need to say what the truth is, right? Do you know how long a complaint letter that stupid prince sent to the General Bureau through the King!"

"……"

"He complained that our Bureau was derelict in its duties, violated the agreement between the Cleaning Bureau and the Kingdom, ignored the safety of royal family members, was ineffective in capturing illegal abnormal object holders, wantonly beat the heir to the throne, and the cleaning mission affected innocent people, causing a great noble to almost be exterminated... He wrote thirty-something items in total!"

"Really... fortunately you beat him today. The complaint letter was sent before the year-end review. Otherwise, just based on the intensity of his complaint this time, I'm afraid we would still be at the bottom next year!"

"……"

After complaining a few times, the red-haired Director habitually took the wine bottle, wanting to take a sip to relieve the sorrow in her heart, but after thinking about it, she put it back, turned to pick up a cup of hot tea, and smiled at Leon, who was embarrassed:

"Little Leon~ You caused me so much trouble today, don't you have to take a slightly more difficult mission to compensate me properly?"

"……"

Looking at the fox eyes narrowed by the red-haired Director, Leon instinctively felt that something big was wrong, but since he had just been caught in the act, he had to nod in resignation.

"Alright..."

"That's good!"

Reaching out and pointing at the photo on the table, the red-haired Director said with a smile:

"Wait until I use the review to lure Aquarius away and confirm that there will be no danger. How about you use it to go undercover among the rebels?"
