Chapter 213: 212 Secret of Aquarius (Part 2)
This thing… is it credible?
After hearing the words of this thing, Li Ang could not help but ponder slightly, then turned his head and gave Senior Jie Rui a probing look.
【If we don't stop the 【Hand of Stealing Luck】, is it possible for it to escape?】
【Impossible. Only anomalous objects with destiny attributes can pass through the shielding of destiny patterns, but it's best not to take too long. Otherwise, even if we don't steal the thing out, we will alert the Aquarius Director.】
Then let's ask more!
Based on the idea that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, or at least an object that can be cooperated and communicated with, Li Ang seized the time and immediately asked:
「What the hell are you? Why have you been imprisoned by the Aquarius Director's lineage for two thousand years? 」
「I am not a thing; I am a god! The God of Enlightenment! 」
Speaking of his past, the thing that called itself the God of Enlightenment gritted his teeth:
「The damn Aquarius Director, who took a fancy to my power of giving enlightenment, actually found a way to trick me into descending, then imprisoned me, squeezed my flesh and true spirit to make anomalous seeds, and stuffed them into the souls of you bugs, relying on my power to help you activate your own anomalies! 」? !!!
The flesh and true spirit of a true god? So that's how the Aquarius Director's anomalous seeds were made!
After learning this rather shocking truth, Li Ang and Senior Jie Rui immediately understood why what was touched out by the 【Hand of Stealing Luck】 was not the Gate of the Other Side, but this imprisoned God of Enlightenment.
Although the Gate of the Other Side had a great influence on middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya's destiny, the God of Enlightenment, who provided the anomalous seeds, had an influence on his destiny that was not small either. The weights were roughly fifty-fifty, and it was possible for either to appear.
Additionally, although the name didn't sound like any evil god, judging from his address to humans and the madness and hatred that almost overflowed from his words, after two thousand years of endless torture, this God of Enlightenment's mental state was likely more extreme than an ordinary evil god.
……
「Lord God of Enlightenment. 」
Secretly warning himself in his heart that he could only refer to the words of this mad god and absolutely could not believe them all, Li Ang said cautiously:
「Inside our Cleaning Bureau, someone discovered the Aquarius Director's anomaly and is currently initiating an inquiry against him. May I ask how much you know about this generation of the Aquarius Director? 」
「Hmm? You idiots in the Cleaning Bureau finally discovered something wrong with him? 」
Hearing that someone was preparing to initiate an inquiry against the Aquarius Director, the God of Enlightenment could not help but laugh wildly, then said half-joyfully and half-mockingly:
「Very good. I thought that you wouldn't be able to discover something was wrong until his plan was completely successful and he successfully replaced Taurus and ascended to the Watchtower. I didn't expect there to be smart people in your Cleaning Bureau after all. 」
Watchtower? !!!!!!!
Hearing this, Li Ang's whole body could not help but shake violently, and Senior Jie Rui widened his eyes, full of disbelief:
「You… what did you say? 」
「I just said, the Aquarius Director of your Cleaning Bureau wants to replace Taurus and sit on the Watchtower himself! 」
After repeating what he had just said, the God of Enlightenment sneered:
「This generation of Aquarius is too distracted, and his level in frontal combat is the weakest in two thousand years. But it must be admitted that regarding the mastery of the Aquarius lineage's 'Anomalous Creation' secret technique, he is the most profound of the fifteen generations of Aquarius.
Even after I have been squeezed for two thousand years, the remaining power is less than one-tenth, but he can still use my flesh to create a large number of top-tier anomalous objects with god-like status. This talent is not much worse than the first-generation Aquarius. 」
After giving his enemy a relatively positive evaluation, the God of Enlightenment laughed:
「The 'Anomalous Creation' of the Aquarius lineage and the 'Anomalous Forging' of the Taurus lineage are the most suitable pair among the thirteen secret techniques of the Cleaning Bureau.
The former can create anomalies, while the latter can fix many anomalies that are originally difficult to manifest through forging and make them into stable anomalous objects that can be used. The effects can be considered complementary.
And the Watchtower of your Cleaning Bureau is the supreme masterpiece created by the first-generation Aquarius and the first-generation Taurus working together, combining the two secret techniques. 」
After briefly explaining the origin of the Watchtower, the God of Enlightenment continued to tell:
「Although this generation of Aquarius has outstanding talent, true gods cannot descend under the protection of the Watchtower, and after two thousand years of consumption, the quantity of high-level 'materials' is not generally scarce. Plus his own strength is too poor, he will never reach the level of the first-generation Aquarius.
If I'm not mistaken, after figuring out the ceiling of his own level, he, who is obsessed with the creation secret technique, was unwilling to continue making do like this, so he set his sights on the Watchtower, likely wanting to glimpse some higher-level things from this masterpiece of the creation secret technique.
It's just that for the Watchtower, this most important trump card, your Cleaning Bureau protects it too strictly, and even directors cannot approach it. The only way to approach the Watchtower is to become the Palace Ascender who sits in the Watchtower.
So starting about thirty years ago, he planned to create a set of combined anomalous objects, hoping to rely on this set of anomalous objects to replace the identity of the next Palace Ascender, thereby heading to the Watchtower. 」
Wait! Replace identity?
Hearing this, Li Ang's breathing could not help but stagnate slightly, and he suddenly remembered the photo in the small mirror, as well as the six-needle wristwatch that, after being thrown in, was like a small wild cat that had smelled fishy, trying hard to stick to the photo.
Isn't this talking about Anna's 【If】!
No wonder he would covet this thing, and even painstakingly framed Auntie Ai Ma, and gave middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya the wristwatch that could find 【If】. It turns out this thing could let him… hmm… no!
Thinking of this, as if he had discovered something he had always ignored, Li Ang's pupils could not help but shrink instantly!
Something's wrong! Auntie Ai Ma's enemies didn't just die!
Counting the time, I'm afraid that when Aquarius learned that he was about to face an inquiry, he had already set up a plot to frame her and arranged for middle-aged Watching Qiaoshuya, who had the 【Gate of the Other Side】, to come to the bureau to steal the photo.
A person who is about to face an internal inquiry and whose own safety is not guaranteed should consider his own safety first. Even if he has the heart to arrange such a thing, it is unlikely to be so fast, unless he has some trump card in his hand, confirming that he is highly likely to pass the inquiry!
Not good! The inquiry on the Director's side might have twists and turns!
……
「Senior Jie Rui! 」
Discovering that the situation seemed to be wrong, Li Ang immediately turned his head to look at the short man beside him and said seriously:
「Facing an inquiry and still having the heart to consider these, the Aquarius Director might have prepared other backhands!
I feel that the things the Director and the others prepared might not be able to press him to death completely. We must contact the General Bureau immediately and send this news and Watching Qiaoshuya over! 」
「Ah? 」
After being reminded by Li Ang, Senior Jie Rui also vaguely sensed the wrong place and nodded seriously:
「You are right. We must contact the General Bureau immediately! 」
「……」
「……」
(o_o)?
After waiting for a while without seeing the follow-up, Li Ang could not help but urge:
「Senior! Hurry up and contact the General Bureau. What are you waiting for? 」
「Ah? So you don't know how to contact the General Bureau? 」
「I just joined the job a month ago and am still the lowest-level Level 3 Accident Handler. Where would I have the contact information for the General Bureau? 」
「I'm only Level 2, and if you don't have it, I don't have it either…」
After staring at each other for a while, Senior Jie Rui asked with his last hope:
「Before the Director left, didn't he leave you any contact information or something? 」
「No… but he said if there's anything, look for Auntie Ai Ma. Auntie Ai Ma can contact him…」
「Auntie Ai Ma was just taken away by people from the General Bureau yesterday…」
「……」
「……」
Looking at the fools "outside" who had been talking for a long time but didn't even have a contact method, the God of Enlightenment, who thought he could take revenge, could not help but be greatly disappointed. He suddenly spat outward and evaluated with full disgust:
「Two idiots! 」 ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
