Chapter 212: 211 Secret of Aquarius (Part 1)

「I think I understand why you touched my hand…」

Senior Jie Rui tried to pull three times, and his own right hand was also pulled three times by an inexplicable force. Recalling the precognitive dream of "Young Watching Qiaoshuya," Li Ang could not help but suddenly realize:

「Just like the King of Nightmares makes two Qiaoshuyas have nightmares together, in the judgment of the 【Hand of Stealing Luck】, these two Qiaoshuyas should be one person with two destiny trajectories, so two 'items' that have the greatest influence on him appeared.

And if I'm not mistaken, the shadow on the left should be the thing that has the greatest influence on middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya. As for my right hand, I estimate it is the thing that has the deepest influence on young Watching Qiaoshuya's destiny, so it also appeared in the options. 」

「……」

In that case, it barely makes sense?

After hearing Li Ang's guess, Senior Jie Rui first nodded slightly in agreement, then asked with some confusion:

「Liang, what's going on with your hand? Why does it have such a great influence on Prince Watching Qiaoshuya's destiny? 」

「Uh… actually, it's nothing. I just slapped him twice…」

Briefly explaining the big slap at the knighthood ceremony and the fierce beating he gave his real brother-in-law when he went to investigate with Auntie Ai Ma, under the eyes of the short man who looked as if he had seen a ghost, Li Ang explained righteously:

「I didn't use any anomalous objects; I just slapped him with my hand. In the agreement between the General Bureau and the royal families of various countries, it only says that anomalous objects cannot be used to influence or harm royal family members; it doesn't say that you can't beat them directly, right? 」

「……」

There really isn't this clause in the agreement, but that's because for a normal person, the probability of attacking a prince and killing him is higher than the probability of slapping him in the face, okay?

You are truly… I thought that stealing things from the royal family was outrageous enough, but I didn't expect there to be a master like you. You are worthy of being someone who can join our Virgo branch bureau. You kid really aren't a simple lamp!

After speechless giving Li Ang a thumbs up, the short man changed the target of the 【Hand of Stealing Luck】 and grabbed toward the unidentified object on the left that was trembling slightly.

Although he couldn't determine which one was the 【Gate of the Other Side】 before, now that he had determined that the right side was Li Ang's hand, the real Gate of the Other Side was naturally the one on the left. Next, just steal it out… eh?

The mutation reappeared.

Accompanied by a soft sound, the unidentified phantom on the left burst open the moment Senior Jie Rui grabbed it, then, as if it were a beast that had smelled fresh flesh, or an evil ghost that had found a spider thread to escape purgatory, it climbed crazily along Senior Jie Rui's right hand!?!!!

Seeing this eerie scene, the two immediately understood that something was wrong. Senior Jie Rui did not immediately pull back his right hand, but extended his left hand toward the window glass of the office and let out an urgent dog bark.

「Wang! 」

Accompanied by a crisp and neat response, the golden dog's head flashed across the window glass, and a short, unsharpened dagger suddenly appeared in Jie Rui's left hand.

Seeing him grab the short dagger with strange patterns, while pulling his right hand, which had been grabbed, back with force, he pressed the blade of the short dagger tightly against the skin of the back of his right hand and slashed off a small piece. Beside him, Li Ang also tore off the red hair tied around his neck and threw it toward Watching Qiaoshuya's heart.

「Ma Bu Wu! 」

Accompanied by an eerie roar that was half-angry and half-desperate, Senior Jie Rui's arm, which had been grabbed by the phantom, suddenly turned into the small piece of skin he had actively slashed off.

And following his pulling action, a small part that chased out from Watching Qiaoshuya's heart was instantly cut into countless meat foam with black energy by the Director's red hair, which was slightly emitting a bloody smell, directly painting a large area on the carpet.

What about the promised Gate of the Other Side? What the hell is this thing?!

……

「Don't go! 」

Just when Li Ang and the other were still shaken, as if it had recognized their race, the phantom, which was using an unknown language, suddenly spoke "human" words.

「Take me out! Take me out! 」

Following the fluctuation of the 【Hand of Stealing Luck】 that had not yet dissipated, it chased all the way to Watching Qiaoshuya's heart. The thing, while desperately hitting outward from the inside, causing intense water ripples on Watching Qiaoshuya's heart, roared crazily:

「Wealth! Power! Youth! Even eternal life! As long as you can save me, I can give you anything! 」

「Go to hell! 」

In order to get rid of this unidentified thing, Senior Jie Rui, who was forced to cut off a large piece of his own flesh with a blunt knife and was grimacing in pain, could not help but curse angrily, preparing to stop the 【Hand of Stealing Luck】 directly and let this thing, which looked like it was not to be trifled with, roll as far away as possible.

But just as he was about to stop, he was blocked by Li Ang.

【Wait, let me ask it a few questions!】

After blocking Senior Jie Rui through soul transmission, Li Ang first took out a bandage and wrapped it around Senior Jie Rui's hand to help him recover from his injury, then stared closely at the phantom, which had become much clearer, and asked with extreme speed:

「What the hell are you? And what relationship do you have with the Cleaning Bureau's Aquarius Director? 」

「Aquarius!!! 」

Hearing the term Aquarius Director, the strange thing became suddenly excited and roared:

「It was he who imprisoned me!

He filed my bones! He cut my flesh! He squeezed my blood! Damn Aquarius! If I get out of here, I must make him personally experience the kind of torture I have suffered for these two thousand years! 」

Two thousand years?

Hearing the roar of the unidentified object, Li Ang and the other could not help but look at each other in shock. Then Li Ang continued to ask:

「Do you mean to say… the current Aquarius Director has already lived for more than two thousand years? 」

「Lived for two thousand years? He's not worthy! 」

After crazily cursing the Aquarius Director a few times, it seemed to have recovered some sanity. Knowing that these two humans in front of it could not save it and were likely just trying to probe for information, the thing simply sneered and mocked:

「You lowly short-lived species, even if you possess powerful strength, you cannot transcend the shackles of the flesh. If you don't change your flesh, one hundred and fifty years is the limit for you humans!

The Aquarius who imprisoned me is not this piece of trash now; it was the Aquarius Director fifteen generations ago! These damn bastards directly treated me as the property of their lineage and have passed it down for fifteen generations! 」

Recalling the endless torture he had suffered for these two thousand years, the thing, which did not know what it was, was another burst of hysterical cursing. A large amount of human language was mixed with some ancient languages that could not be understood, and combined with the eerie sound like a knife scraping glass, it made Li Ang and the other's ears ache.

After cursing to his heart's content, looking at the two humans "outside" who looked uncomfortable but did not leave, the unidentified thing could not help but nod with satisfaction, then sneered:

「Stop the nonsense. I can see that no matter what benefits I promise, you two bastards won't take me out.

But you are clearly not on the same side as Aquarius. The reason you found me is likely to get a handle on him… so hurry up! Before Aquarius discovers someone is contacting me, ask whatever questions you have! 」 ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
