Chapter 223

~8 min read 1,449 words

No, no, no, I didn't say anything, this is all guessed by you yourself!

Touching the Brain-Eating Demon's butt again and openly turning off 95% of the Memory Dream Furnace inside its body, Li Ang shook his head with a serious face:

"I can't say for sure... but I touched it several times just now, and every time my ability told me that the state of the 【Memory Dream Furnace】 is very normal, not like it has any problems."

"Hmm, I see."

After glancing at this young man who dared to play tricks with him, the Cleaning Bureau Director nodded blandly, then stared at the Aquarius Director who was being licked back and forth in the distance, and pondered to himself.

Li Ang's little "careful thoughts" were simply obvious; he had already understood at a glance that it was nothing more than wanting to take the opportunity to splash some dirty water on Aquarius and help Olivia win the inquiry.

But until now, he was indeed telling the truth, and looking at the Taurus Director's puzzled expression, it seemed she really didn't understand why the Memory Dream Furnace malfunctioned... then this young man's words must be taken seriously.

Could it be that the Aquarius Director really has some backup plan to muddle through under the investigation of the God-tier Brain-Eating Demon?

As for the malfunction of the Memory Dream Furnace, could it be the work of Li Ang who touched the Brain-Eating Demon...

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

After feeling the pitifully weak degree of contamination on Li Ang, the Cleaning Bureau Director immediately shook his head and dismissed this overly unreliable conjecture.

The gap between this young man and the God-tier Brain-Eating Demon is probably greater than the gap between an ant and an elephant. If he weren't protecting him, the Brain-Eating Demon would have probably crushed him to death when it "spread out" just now.

The possibility of someone who has become this weak being able to tamper with this and forcibly control a God-tier Brain-Eating Demon is lower than an ant making an elephant pregnant!

Steady, the scapegoat has basically been thrown over!

Secretly glancing at the Cleaning Bureau Director's expression and confirming that he had become suspicious of the Aquarius Director, Li Ang couldn't help but give himself a thumbs-up in his heart, then secretly turned the Memory Dream Furnace up a bit higher.

It's not that he feels sorry for the Aquarius Director, but that only 5% of the memory was copied the first time. If it's still 5% the second time, he would have to be licked twenty times by the Brain-Eating Demon to finish copying. If the Aquarius Director can't hold on, he might just flip the table.

But if 20% of the memory is copied the second time, then after three or four times, it will be enough to prove his innocence. Given the Aquarius Director's personality, hindered by the sunk cost of having been read twice, he will likely choose to endure it and come again.

And when he accepts the reading for the third time, he might as well adjust the "power" of the Memory Dream Furnace again and copy 30% of the memory for him directly, except that 25% of it is repetitive.

Hehe, after all, memory is supposed to be randomly distributed, just like the card pool of a pay-to-win mobile game. No one has stipulated that it cannot appear repeatedly. It is very common for "card drawing" to draw duplicates.

And if it's like this, and the Aquarius Director can still not explode and prepares to bite the bullet and accept the fourth reading... then let's have another 5% and let him experience what it means that metaphysics cannot save the non-chief and krypton gold cannot change fate!

"You pay a little attention."

Just as Li Ang was calculating how to toss the Aquarius Director and hang him to draw a few more times, the Cleaning Bureau Director seemed to have noticed something, turned his head to look at him, and then reminded:

"You touched it so many times just now, you may have been contaminated by the Brain-Eating Demon, and the smell of the devil on your body has become much stronger. You step back behind me, be careful not to be assimilated by it."

"Oh... thank you Director, I will definitely pay attention."

Nodding with a serious expression and withdrawing his right hand after changing the power of the 【Memory Dream Furnace】, Li Ang, who "almost got contaminated," stood behind the Cleaning Bureau Director and honestly observed the situation of the Aquarius Director.

Finally... it's over...

As the sticky tongues left one by one again, the Aquarius Director, whose brain was almost numb from electricity, slowly got up, struggled to open his turbid eyes wide, and looked at the Cleaning Bureau Director on the main stage.

"This..."

Even though he suspected that Aquarius might have used some means because of Li Ang's reminder, but after receiving his look that carried a hint of pleading, the Cleaning Bureau Director's upper lip trembled slightly. He really didn't have the face to ask him to do it again, so he had to turn his head to avoid his gaze and try to hint from the side:

"The situation is better than last time, it can be about 20%... adding these two times together, it's about a quarter of the memory.

If you can have another 30%, it will be more than half. Half of the memory should be enough to prove your innocence, so... so do you want to..."

So you promised me that there would definitely be no problems this time?

Hearing that he had to be licked by the Brain-Eating Demon again, and if he was unlucky, he might even be licked twice, even someone as deep as the Aquarius Director couldn't hold it anymore. Staring at the Cleaning Bureau Director with bloodshot eyes, he questioned gloomily:

"Director, instead of persuading me to accept another reading, why don't you try it yourself and see where this thing is broken?"

"I don't need to."

Seeing the Aquarius Director whose emotions were somewhat out of control actually starting to "bare his teeth" at him, the Cleaning Bureau Director turned his head back, narrowed his eyes and stared at the Aquarius Director:

"Aquarius, if you don't want to continue accepting memory reading, then you might as well ask the Gemini Branch Bureau Director to take action and backtrack all the locations you have been to over the years. However, because of your status, this investigation can only be done slowly, and it will probably last about a year.

And during this year or so, please stay in the basement of the General Bureau. Before Taurus ascends the palace and the investigation of you is completely finished, keep a sleeping state throughout the whole process to ensure that the Watchtower Palace and Taurus are not disturbed... what do you think?"

"..."

Accept one or two more memory readings, or sleep in the basement for a year until Taurus ascends the palace and leaves... do I have a choice?

After staring at the Cleaning Bureau Director with bloodshot eyes for a while, the Aquarius Director turned his head without saying a word, walked staggeringly to the opposite side of the God-tier Brain-Eating Demon again, and then pressed the thin copper plate embedded in the back of his head again.

The first time he didn't activate the electric shock, only 5% of the memory was replicated. After the second electric shock, it instantly increased to 20%. Then if he adjusts it slightly higher, will it reach 30% or more?

Although the process of electric shock is a bit painful, as long as he can be read one less time, this bit of pain is not worth mentioning!

Hmm? Is he pressing something?

Regarding the Aquarius Director's action of pressing the back of his head, most people saw it, but the members of the Cleaning Bureau who are on the "magic side" didn't pay too much attention.

Including the Cleaning Bureau Director, everyone was concentrating on checking whether there were fluctuations of anomalous objects to prevent the Aquarius Director from cheating with anomalous objects. Only Li Ang, who had seen the "science side" ability, paid a little more attention to this.

Staring at the back of the Aquarius Director's head for a while, and vaguely discovering the reflection belonging to metal in his sparse hair, Li Ang couldn't help but frown, and then before the Brain-Eating Demon performed the reading again, he asked loudly:

"Aquarius Director, can I ask you to answer why there is a metal plate on the back of your head?"
