Chapter 224: 223 Aquarius's End
「Is there any problem? 」
Seeing that someone actually noticed the thin copper piece on the back of his head, the Aquarius Director felt a shock in his heart, then glanced back at Li Ang and said expressionlessly:
「Is there any problem with you asking this suddenly? Are you preparing to forcibly find a reason to attribute the failure of the memory furnace to me? 」
「It can't be considered forced, just in case. 」
Seeing that the Aquarius Director actually didn't answer directly and vaguely had a feeling of trying to muddle through, Li Ang had a plan in his heart.
That metal piece must be very important to the Aquarius Director. Even if it wasn't the reason he could muddle through memory reading, it was likely obtained improperly.
As for whether this suddenly exposed metal piece was a flaw deliberately exposed by the Aquarius Director… the possibility was not high.
Not to mention anything else, in the situation where he was licked carefully by the brain-eating demon twice and his brain was almost boiling, if he still had the brain to set a trap to pit people, then even if he fell into it, he would admit it!
After making up his mind, Li Ang immediately started to pursue relentlessly and asked with an increased volume:
「Aquarius Director, you haven't answered my question yet. What exactly is that metal piece? Why is it embedded in your head? 」
「I know a little about this. 」
Before the Aquarius Director could answer, the Gemini branch bureau director stood out and answered without any ups and downs in his tone:
「That is the information piece of the Kingdom of Kewangguo, engraved with some basic information used to identify identity, equivalent to the identity documents of other kingdoms. You need to have an information piece of the corresponding level to use the kingdom facilities of the corresponding level… I also have one. 」
After slightly lifting the hair on the back of his head and showing the copper piece covered underneath to everyone, the Gemini branch bureau director continued to explain:
「The population of the Kingdom of Kewangguo is too small, and many facilities and instruments cannot be assigned to be guarded by special personnel. Therefore, in the past, they considered not using manual labor and relying directly on information pieces to identify and allocate usage permissions. If the Aquarius Director is really the previous Gemini branch bureau director, then he should indeed have this thing on him. 」
「Additionally, although the information piece was developed a long time ago, because some citizens of the Kingdom of Kewangguo were worried that this was a means for the Kingdom to want to control
This thing has been initially abolished for decades. Young people in the Kroke Kingdom don't know it, and those who haven't been to the Kroke Kingdom don't know it at all, so it is completely normal to question this, and it is not deliberately targeting the Aquarius Director."
"..."
Good guy... worthy of being a kingdom that claims its technological level is 100 years ahead, even having such sci-fi things?
Discovering that the person who stood up to explain was the Gemini Branch Bureau Director, and this "one of our own" actually had a copper plate on his head, Li Ang, who thought he had discovered a blind spot, couldn't help but be greatly disappointed.
If it were someone else who stood up, it would be fine. Now that the Gemini Director, who provided the most evidence, also stood up to prove that the copper plate was fine, then this thing is probably normal. Maybe he really thought too much.
And the Cleaning Bureau Director on the side, after listening to the explanation of the Gemini Branch Bureau Director, also glanced at Li Ang with disappointment, then turned his head and urged:
"Continue, don't waste any more time."
"The person wasting time is not me."
After replying with an indifferent look, the Aquarius Director looked at Li Ang deeply, then stood in front of the God-tier Brain-Eating Demon again...
"Wait!"
The person who stood up this time was the Red-haired Director.
After narrowing her fox eyes and staring at the Gemini Branch Bureau Director for a while, the Red-haired Director, under everyone's gaze, stood up and made a request:
"Aquarius Director, if this thing is really an information chip that has been abolished and has no effect, then can you repeat the action just now and press it a few more times?"
"Olivia!"
After hearing the Red-haired Director's words, the Aquarius Director seemed to finally be "unable to endure anymore." Driven by his brain that was in unbearable pain, he scolded angrily with his eyebrows raised:
"Don't go too far!"
Fake! His anger is fake! That so-called information chip really has a problem!
Li Ang, whose right hand was tied by a bright red hair and pressed firmly on the ram's horn, looked at the Aquarius Director's soul that was beginning to waver and was clearly not angry but anxious, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart!
Almost got fooled! Truly worthy of being the Director who didn't drink, this is too reliable!
"Aquarius Director, may I ask where my request is excessive?"
After exchanging glances with Li Ang and getting a "positive" reply, the corners of the Red-haired Director's mouth finally curled up again, and she continued to ask with a smile:
"Before I made the request, you had already pressed it several times yourself, so it should be harmless to you. Since that's the case, why can't you press it a few more times?"
Of course not!
Every time this thing is pressed, the current will double. If I press it a few more times, I'm afraid that before the memory reading starts, my brain will be damaged first...
Although there is an answer, how can this answer be spoken?
Looking at the gradually narrowing eyes of the Cleaning Bureau Director, the Aquarius Director, knowing that the situation was gone, did not make any more futile arguments, but sighed faintly.
Now it's useless to deny it. Since it has been noticed, no matter whether he presses the copper plate or not, this thing will definitely be subject to detailed inspection, turned inside out.
And the people from the Cleaning Bureau, even if they don't understand the technology of the Kroke Kingdom, as long as they lift the copper plate and see the metal wire embedded in his brain below, they will definitely notice something wrong. Just because of this one-day difference, he is completely finished.
If the Director hadn't returned and the inquiry hadn't started a day early, his newly swapped brain could have been completely synchronized with his body, directly muddling through the reading of the God-tier Brain-Eating Demon, without having to rely on electric shock for forced activation, and thus wouldn't have been noticed about the copper plate problem...
One day! Damn it! It's just one day!
"It seems you are no longer prepared to explain."
After waiting for a while and not hearing the Aquarius Director's defense, the Cleaning Bureau Director silently raised his hand and said:
"I now, in the capacity of the Cleaning Bureau Director, propose to remove the Aquarius Director from his position and temporarily seal the Aquarius Star Palace... let's vote."
Accompanied by the words of the Cleaning Bureau Director, the originally transparent and bright venue suddenly darkened. The rock outer wall, one kilometer thick, seemed to become transparent, instantly turning into a boundless pitch-black night sky.
Immediately after, eighty-seven patterns composed of countless star points of various sizes lit up around the center of the venue and began to rotate slowly according to a certain pattern. The only place not surrounded by star points slowly revealed a terrifyingly large cut, and like an eye, it split up and down, revealing the real starry sky.
The sun, which was still countless tens of thousands of miles away, was forcibly pulled closer under the traction of some unknown force in an instant, turning into a brilliant golden pupil in the "eye," staring fixedly at the Aquarius Director. And among the twelve seats belonging only to the Directors surrounding this sun eye, four seats were lit up one after another.
"Four votes in favor."
After stating the voting result, the Cleaning Bureau Director raised his hand and waved toward the seat that once belonged to the Aquarius Director, dispelling the Aquarius Star Palace composed of 90 star points, completely cutting off the possibility of the Aquarius Director escaping from the headquarters, and then announced expressionlessly:
"Privately manufacturing anomalies, causing massive harm to the innocent, attempting to meddle with the Watchtower Palace... combined punishment for multiple crimes!"
"I, in the capacity of the Cleaning Bureau Director, sentence the former Aquarius Director... to death!"
